Per the Houston Humane Society 176 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:38,160 Speaker 2: Wildlife Center, most black squirrels found in the eastern and 177 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 2: northern United States are darker forms of the eastern gray squirrel. Westward, 178 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:52,800 Speaker 2: including in Texas, black squirrels tend to be fox squirrels, 179 00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:57,559 Speaker 2: the species of squirrel with the widest distribution in the state, 180 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 2: according to the Texas Parks while Life Department. Their black 181 00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 2: coloring is due to a genetic characteristic known as racism, 182 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 2: not just case melanism, a genetic condition that causes animals 183 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:17,440 Speaker 2: to have more melanin, a dark pigment in their fur, 184 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:23,120 Speaker 2: resulting in a darker appearance than is typical for their species. 185 00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 2: The dark coloration helps black squirrels to more readily absorb 186 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:32,439 Speaker 2: the sun's rays, thereby holding on to heat better during 187 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 2: cold winters. Their dark fur also helps them hide better 188 00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 2: from predators like hawks and eagles. In some cultures, black 189 00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 2: squirrels are considered to be a symbol of good luck. 190 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,559 Speaker 2: Some believe that if one of the dark hued rodents 191 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 2: crosses your path, good fortune is on the way. I 192 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:01,439 Speaker 2: just remember they all celebrated when OJ was acquitted. They 193 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 2: say black squirrels live in one tree, but they stay 194 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:07,960 Speaker 2: in another tree across the way. One thing about squirrels, 195 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 2: black don't crack. That's what they say. Now that's one 196 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 2: thing you can you They don't always vote right, but 197 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,320 Speaker 2: you know, all in all, black squirrels. Keep it real, 198 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 2: Keep it real, girl. How you did that again? 199 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 4: I don't know. 200 00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 2: What TuS. She got a hand coopp and a squirrel baffle. Downtime. 201 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:32,679 Speaker 2: You're took an it. 202 00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 4: Three white man's from kJ and everylance come down there 203 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 4: and get a turn. 204 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 1: Little. 205 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,000 Speaker 2: She looked at so Ino. She looked like she was 206 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 2: vietname Ese. I told her, squat down, girl, picks h rice. 207 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 2: Who did you always mocked me?

Secret squirrel? Why force is this guy 214 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:14,200 Speaker 2: takes some bendy places. He's a squirrel of Betty Lass. 215 00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 2: Who's that? 216 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 3: Who's that? Who's that? Way? Secret squirrel. 217 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:33,480 Speaker 2: Kamala Harris is coming to Houston tomorrow to campaign for Colin. 218 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 2: All wrong people asking why is she doing that? Two reasons. 219 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:47,440 Speaker 2: Texas is a major major goal for the California Democrats. 220 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 2: If they can win Texas emotionally, psychologically, that is a 221 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 2: dagger in the heart of American conservatism. That is enough 222 00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 2: to say progressivism has taken over. We will be a 223 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 2: communist nation. Paris has fallen, Warsaw has fallen, London has fought. 224 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 2: We have. We have rolled the tanks through and we 225 00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:22,760 Speaker 2: have taken there. There we have we have. We have 226 00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:27,480 Speaker 2: gone into the heart of the every man. The truck driving, 227 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 2: gun toting god fear in Texan has now been conquered. 228 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 2: We've beaten them. The war may not be over, but 229 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:43,040 Speaker 2: see we can win. It's important they understand the psychology 230 00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 2: of all this. You're just going about your life, living 231 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 2: your life. They are plotting on a mount where to 232 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 2: engage in their blitzed creek. The amount of money they 233 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 2: spent in Texas far surpasses where they spent every where, 234 00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 2: They spent everywhere else, combined on a race like this 235 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 2: to defeat an incumbent. Many times they don't even go 236 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 2: after an incumbent. But they want this seat so bad. 237 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 2: So people say, is Texas in play for Kamala. No 238 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 2: it's not, but they want to win the Senate seat. 239 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 2: They'd love her to win this seat if they'd love 240 00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 2: her to win the state. But she's polling too badly, 241 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:33,440 Speaker 2: and they drag the back. You got rich Houstonians who 242 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:37,000 Speaker 2: want to help, who want to roll in the White House. 243 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 2: So she'll come here and drag the back. There'll be 244 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 2: a bunch of money that will be made available to her. 245 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:48,920 Speaker 2: There are rich Houstonians who are working against our best 246 00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 2: interests all day, every day. They are. They live amongst us, 247 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 2: mostly in river Oaks, but they're here, plenty of them, 248 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 2: with plenty of money, plenty of money, and everybody may 249 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 2: it's nice with them, and we all act like they're 250 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:05,800 Speaker 2: not out to destroy the country, But they are and 251 00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:08,640 Speaker 2: they will. But in the meantime, they'll bide their time. 252 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 2: So she'll come in, drag the bag and tell us 253 00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 2: why Colin all Red, mister all wrong for Texas is 254 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:23,360 Speaker 2: great for Texas. My only goal is that every Texan 255 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 2: see every single Texan who votes. I want every single 256 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:32,840 Speaker 2: Texan who votes to know cackling Kamala Harris from California 257 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 2: came to Texas to campaign for Collin all wrong. That's 258 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,439 Speaker 2: all they need to know. There may be a few 259 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,160 Speaker 2: people who say, oh, I'll vote for all Wrong now, 260 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 2: but the vast majority of Texans are going to say 261 00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 2: that bitch came to Texas to vote to support all wrong. 262 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,240 Speaker 2: That's all I needed to know. Cruise has got my vote. 263 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:57,080 Speaker 2: No matter how much money they spend, Cruise has got 264 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:01,000 Speaker 2: my vote. That will turn the election against all wrong. 265 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 2: It will. Voters come home at election time. They may say, well, 266 00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,399 Speaker 2: I don't like Cruise for this reason. I don't like 267 00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,880 Speaker 2: Cruse because the media tells me he's a bad guy. 268 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 2: I don't like Cruise because of this. I don't like 269 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:17,560 Speaker 2: Cruise because of that. But when it comes down to it, 270 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 2: voters come home. They come home to where they roost, 271 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,199 Speaker 2: to where they belong, to where they feel comfortable, to 272 00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 2: what is in the best interest of their state. You're 273 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,879 Speaker 2: not picking a best friend. You're not picking the person 274 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,640 Speaker 2: you most admire and LIKEE want to be what you're 275 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:33,879 Speaker 2: picking the person who best represents the state. And that 276 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:39,080 Speaker 2: ain't all wrong. The worst president, the worst vice president 277 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 2: in the history of our country, the Michael Berry. We 278 00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,080 Speaker 2: can't afford four more years of this. 279 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 8: We see. 280 00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 2: In two thousand and three, I ran for mayor. Four 281 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:54,240 Speaker 2: of us who ran, and the most coveted endorsement was 282 00:18:54,280 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 2: Gordon Bethune, CEO and chairman of Continental Airlines. They were 283 00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:05,639 Speaker 2: the largest vendor with the City of Houston, being the 284 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 2: major carrier at our airport. They were also the largest 285 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,600 Speaker 2: employer in the city of Houston, making Gordon Bethune a 286 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:20,360 Speaker 2: very influential man. He was extraordinarily well respected as a 287 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:25,320 Speaker 2: corporate leader, and at the time between him and ken Ley, 288 00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,439 Speaker 2: and ken Lay ended up, as you know, having a 289 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:33,639 Speaker 2: lot of problems. Gordon Bethune retired with his image intact 290 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 2: as a man who had turned Continental Airlines around. He'd 291 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 2: written a book called From Worst to First about how 292 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:49,640 Speaker 2: he had done that, the lessons he had employed. So 293 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 2: the four of us who were all running for mayor, 294 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,280 Speaker 2: Sylvester Turner who was in fourth, Orlando Sanchez and I 295 00:19:56,320 --> 00:19:58,840 Speaker 2: were tied for second, and Bill White was in the lead. 296 00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:01,880 Speaker 2: It's a Democrat city and White was a former state 297 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 2: party chairman, and so there's going to be a runoff. 298 00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,040 Speaker 2: But this race is winnable for everybody but Sylvester. He 299 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 2: can't get above ten percent, and of course he would 300 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:20,119 Speaker 2: go on to be mayor later. But so everybody is 301 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:25,399 Speaker 2: trying to get Gordon Bethune's endorsement. So he decides that 302 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:30,639 Speaker 2: he's going to interview each of us or I don't know, 303 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:34,520 Speaker 2: thirty minutes apiece in his office and then he's going 304 00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 2: to announce an endorsement. And so we each go down 305 00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 2: and sit across from him and meet with him, and 306 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 2: unbeknownst to me, he chose me this guy to be 307 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 2: the mayor of the City of Houston. So the next 308 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 2: morning's Houston Chronicle front page headlined was Bethune backing boosts 309 00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,800 Speaker 2: Berry's bid, and it talked about out how the most 310 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 2: respected CEO in the country that does the most amount 311 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,639 Speaker 2: of business with the city through the city, wants the 312 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:10,199 Speaker 2: city to prosper believes this guy has a vision and 313 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:15,480 Speaker 2: the skill set to do this. Now, I'm only thirty 314 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,919 Speaker 2: years old, thirty one years old, so that was the 315 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:21,359 Speaker 2: big knock as I was too young and he gave 316 00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:29,560 Speaker 2: the most glowing endorsement was incredible, absolutely incredible. Well, I 317 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 2: had admired, and as you know, I study people and 318 00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 2: what works and what doesn't work. I had admired what 319 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 2: he had done with Continental, and I believe at the 320 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:43,439 Speaker 2: time this was particularly true. It's less true now, but 321 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 2: it was really true at the time. In order to 322 00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:54,360 Speaker 2: be a great city where individuals and businesses want to locate, 323 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:57,000 Speaker 2: it's not important that you have pro sports people idiots 324 00:21:57,040 --> 00:21:59,600 Speaker 2: think that the kind of idiots who walk around in 325 00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,960 Speaker 2: another own man's jersey all day long, which is fine, 326 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 2: nothing wrong with those people, but you don't want them 327 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 2: making decisions for your city. You do want a great 328 00:22:10,840 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 2: transportation system, which includes road transportation. So that's where cities 329 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,720 Speaker 2: get into trouble. And Austin's gotten itself into trouble with 330 00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:25,080 Speaker 2: this over just refusing to build more roads. California got 331 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,440 Speaker 2: itself into trouble. So what do you do. You create 332 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 2: a lower quality of life because people can't move around, 333 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:38,120 Speaker 2: they're stuck in traffic, and everyone thinks people erroneously think 334 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:40,919 Speaker 2: that the reason you're stuck in traffic is there's so 335 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:45,399 Speaker 2: many people. That's not true. You're stuck in traffic because 336 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:49,640 Speaker 2: of a lack of capacity, road capacity and driver error, 337 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 2: not too many drivers. If you want to look at 338 00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:57,879 Speaker 2: what happened in California and where it all went wrong, 339 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 2: it was the refusal to build sufficient road capacity because 340 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 2: they decided they didn't want anybody to come into their state. 341 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 2: So if you just don't build roads at Austin tried this. 342 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 2: If you just don't build roads, they won't come. But 343 00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:16,560 Speaker 2: they're coming. So I believe that a great city and 344 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 2: I love the concept. It's dead now, but at the 345 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:23,920 Speaker 2: time I still believed in the great big city where 346 00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 2: things were done right, where people wanted to come, and 347 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 2: whether that was in the city or in the suburbs, 348 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 2: there were reasons for these hubs, cultural institutions, entertainment, opportunity. 349 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,399 Speaker 2: That's where the universities were. That was the seat of government. Well, 350 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,639 Speaker 2: the liberals ruined that and so now you're seeing people 351 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 2: moving out. That's why the wacos and Brinham's and the 352 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:49,359 Speaker 2: like are doing so well now. But part of that 353 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 2: transportation system is you have to have a port, which 354 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,240 Speaker 2: we have a great port. You have to have great rail, 355 00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 2: which we have good rail. You have to have a 356 00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 2: good road network, which to his credit, Bob Lanier had 357 00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:06,480 Speaker 2: understood all the way back to his text dot days, 358 00:24:06,960 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 2: and that's why he was a good choice from area 359 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 2: at the time. And that's why peeling that money away 360 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,159 Speaker 2: from that stupid light rail and putting it into cops 361 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 2: so you could make the streets safer was a big 362 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 2: part of the Houston redevelopment in the nineties. And you've 363 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 2: got to have a major airline as a hub, because 364 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 2: if you don't, you're always secondary. That's why. Look, if 365 00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:36,639 Speaker 2: you're a person who flies American and for whatever reason, 366 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 2: you know that's where you got all your points, you 367 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:41,600 Speaker 2: don't want to go anywhere on American because you got 368 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 2: to go to Dallas to then connect or Delta, you 369 00:24:45,400 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 2: got to go to Atlanta to then connect Continental. It 370 00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 2: was New Jersey, Cleveland, and primarily Houston, which made living 371 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:57,720 Speaker 2: in Houston great. You go directly, I go anywhere in 372 00:24:57,720 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 2: the world for so many years. So anyway, because of 373 00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 2: my study of Gordon Bethune, I was fascinated of the 374 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:09,520 Speaker 2: history of Continental airlines. And many of you know the 375 00:25:09,560 --> 00:25:13,520 Speaker 2: name Frank Lorenzo, so you can imagine my surprise when 376 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 2: a month or six weeks or so ago, I got 377 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:18,600 Speaker 2: a message mister Lorenzo would like to talk to you 378 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:22,280 Speaker 2: about his new book. And I didn't know who's still alive. 379 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 2: I hadn't heard anything about him in years. I understand 380 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:26,239 Speaker 2: there are a lot of people that don't like him. 381 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,080 Speaker 2: He made a lot of enemies when he was here. 382 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 2: I don't know him. He's not a friend. I don't 383 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,199 Speaker 2: intend to praise him. But he was the head of 384 00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:38,439 Speaker 2: Continental Airlines during a tumultuous time in this in this region. 385 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:40,879 Speaker 2: And I'm going to interview him at eleven. So if 386 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:42,600 Speaker 2: you have a question you want me to ask, or 387 00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 2: a story you want to tell, or some detail you 388 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 2: think I need to know, send me an email between 389 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:48,959 Speaker 2: now and eleven so I know it before I interviewed 390 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:53,080 Speaker 2: him through the website at Michael berryshow dot com. 391 00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:57,440 Speaker 7: An undocumented immigrant is not a criminal the Michael Verry Show. 392 00:25:57,720 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 1: We have to correct course in this conversation. 393 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:08,720 Speaker 2: See this is just for play. Everybody knows they want to. 394 00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,439 Speaker 2: You want to hear them say rascoutin and they're just 395 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 2: goofing around like a sq novel. It's so cold in 396 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 2: Sweden at the whole winter. You got nothing to know 397 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:30,440 Speaker 2: you drag the song up, get the rasputin. If you 398 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:34,440 Speaker 2: want to be depressed for the American educational system, then 399 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 2: do what I do. When you have to give your 400 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:40,679 Speaker 2: name somewhere that they have to call it out, and 401 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 2: when they ask for your name to write it down, 402 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:49,320 Speaker 2: just say Raspute and then huh huh are a s 403 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 2: p u t I n are a ruh ruh ruh. 404 00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 2: Just do Rubes Pierre and be done with it. That's 405 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 2: my last name, Robespierre. I'll do the first one. I'll 406 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 2: do the first one, sir. The rhetorical question is what 407 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,280 Speaker 2: did you learn in school? If you don't know who 408 00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 2: Respute is, and you don't know who Robespierre is, and 409 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,959 Speaker 2: you don't know who Charlemagne is, you think he's a 410 00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 2: talk show host on the Breakfast Club, what did you learn? 411 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 2: Will I learn? If I'm a boy, I can be 412 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:30,920 Speaker 2: a girl, And if I'm a girl, I can be 413 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:37,439 Speaker 2: a boy or a tree or a horse. I'd be anything. 414 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 2: I want to be the little engine that could. I 415 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 2: got y'all worked up on this black squirrel story. You 416 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,880 Speaker 2: don't realize we got incoming on this. There's incoming fire. 417 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:57,120 Speaker 2: Grumpy Lumpy writes zar actually quote unquote black squirrels. Why 418 00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 2: the black is in it? Are you doubting that they're black? 419 00:27:59,880 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 2: You wanting to call them African Americans? Like? Why would 420 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:09,639 Speaker 2: you not come anyway? Actually, black squirrels, Actually black squirrels 421 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,520 Speaker 2: have been prevalent in the Garden Oaks tree since at 422 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 2: least eighty nine when I was working construction in that area. 423 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:21,600 Speaker 2: They are a very dark gray near black. Oh, he questions, 424 00:28:21,640 --> 00:28:27,800 Speaker 2: the blackness. Okay, then Joe Biden I spotted them, and 425 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:29,480 Speaker 2: I checked with Texas A and M, and I was 426 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:33,560 Speaker 2: told that these were a larger fox squirrel variet variant 427 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 2: very common in the hill country. Now they are a 428 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 2: recognized distinct genetic strain or breed. They do take over 429 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:50,200 Speaker 2: like gangs and push out the smaller common Eastern gray squirrels, 430 00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 2: who I think actually are an invasive import from England. 431 00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 2: You know, I've come to the conclusion Rome that people 432 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 2: that like wildlife, they don't run around bragging about it, 433 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:09,959 Speaker 2: but they have a healthy study of it. Those are 434 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,960 Speaker 2: the kind of people you want, you want to know 435 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:17,280 Speaker 2: those people, Those are better people. Another one says, I 436 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:21,720 Speaker 2: saw as a buddy Muney. He says that one in 437 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,240 Speaker 2: ten thousand. Black squirrel thing is a bunch of horse, 438 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:28,120 Speaker 2: I'll say, manure, here's a picture of me and some 439 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 2: black squirrels in Washington, DC. That doesn't mean there's that 440 00:29:33,880 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 2: many black squirreld. They're just all in d C. In 441 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 2: that little area up there. You got into the rural environments, 442 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 2: you'll go miles in mind and never see a black squirrel. 443 00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 2: So I wrote, I don't know how many squirrels there are, 444 00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 2: but if we got twenty bazillion squirrels, which is possible 445 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 2: in this country, then most of everybody in the country 446 00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 2: can see a black squirrel and it's still only be 447 00:29:56,080 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 2: one in ten thousand. Basic mat He said, I saw 448 00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 2: six squirrels and two of them were black. That supersedes anecdotal. 449 00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 2: In Niagara Falls, half of them are black. I know 450 00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 2: in all of Detroit and Chicago. That does not mean 451 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 2: it's more than one out of ten thousand. I'm a nerd. 452 00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 2: I love birds and I love squirrels, and I have 453 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 2: a hard time focusing when I'm in sight of either. 454 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 2: And I don't buy that one in ten thousand. So 455 00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 2: I said, well, then I had to start cussing because 456 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 2: somebody I had to escalate because I didn't write the 457 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 2: Houston Chronicle article. Listen, if that's the worst lie. The 458 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:50,560 Speaker 2: Houston Chronicle tells this week that a black squirrel is 459 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 2: really rare, it's one in ten thousand. That person probably 460 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 2: went to a Wikipedia page, and it's probably a Wikipedia 461 00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:02,680 Speaker 2: page from some troll who's having some fun, and then 462 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 2: they set up an algorithm in AI, which is easy 463 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:11,120 Speaker 2: to do now, to say every time it is mentioned 464 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,200 Speaker 2: that black squirrels are so rare that only one out 465 00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:18,120 Speaker 2: of every ten thousand are black, he'll get up a 466 00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,959 Speaker 2: notification and then they just sit and giggle, look at 467 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 2: them like Anchorman. They'll just read whatever's on the screen 468 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:28,480 Speaker 2: you put it on Wikipedia. The reporters will every time 469 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 2: a black squirrel is seen, they'll report that only one 470 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,920 Speaker 2: in ten thousand squirrels is black. But I do think 471 00:31:36,600 --> 00:31:38,560 Speaker 2: you could have only one in ten thousand and still 472 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 2: have a bunch of them, because there's a lot of squirrels. 473 00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 2: My guy wild Bird's Unlimited tells me he's got a 474 00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,120 Speaker 2: whole section for attracting squirrels and a whole section for 475 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,440 Speaker 2: getting rid of them. And he said it's the craziest thing. 476 00:31:50,520 --> 00:31:52,960 Speaker 2: Half the people want want the squirrels. Half the people 477 00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:53,959 Speaker 2: want to get rid of them.
