1 00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 1: It's that time time time, time, Luck and load. 2 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,960 Speaker 2: The Michael Veri Show is on the air. 3 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 1: Michael quinn Sullivan is the publisher Texas scorecard dot Com, 4 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 1: but he does not sit in his ivory tower. He 5 00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,159 Speaker 1: goes into the halls of the legislature, He goes into meetings. 6 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:46,519 Speaker 1: He reports on things from a first person perspective. He 7 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,879 Speaker 1: was on the ground at the protests of the terrorists 8 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: last week and was filming and reporting as he did so. Michael, 9 00:00:55,600 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: how was that terrorist activity different than you expected it 10 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: to be going in? 11 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 3: Well, it was different than certainly what we'd seen in 12 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 3: other parts of the country where the where the weak 13 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 3: police presence, driven by the politicians dictates, meant that people 14 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 3: were doing very untoward things. You certainly saw in Austin, 15 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 3: in Houston, in Dallas, you saw individuals who showed up 16 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:31,440 Speaker 3: hoping that they could replicate the vibe of la hoping 17 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:37,640 Speaker 3: they could cause mayhem. But yet between the local law enforcement, 18 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 3: Texas Department Public Safety, and the National Guard, those folks 19 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,680 Speaker 3: quickly got the message that that simply wasn't going to 20 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:46,920 Speaker 3: be tolerated in the lone star state I was in. 21 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 3: I was in Austin for those protests, and I just 22 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 3: have to say I never thought I would sing the 23 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 3: praises of the Austin Police Department the way I found 24 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 3: myself talking to my doing my colleagues on the ground 25 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 3: and then with friends later. Just the professionalism displayed by 26 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 3: the men and women at Austin p D and the 27 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 3: Texas Department of Public Safety was like nothing I've ever 28 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 3: seen before. One making it very clear they weren't one 29 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 3: folk nonsense, but also not taking the jibs. 30 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,080 Speaker 2: They're just you know, men and women doing their job, 31 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:22,799 Speaker 2: and it was. 32 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 3: Very refreshing to see, you know, where you know, we 33 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 3: all developed kind of a cartoon image of our head 34 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,079 Speaker 3: of how people are supposed to be right, and sometimes 35 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 3: we have willing to accept reality into realityism. Texas, we 36 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,799 Speaker 3: have a lot of really wonderful men and women who 37 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 3: just put on a uniform every day and say, you 38 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 3: know what, I want to make my community peaceful today, 39 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 3: and that's what they do. 40 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 2: And I got to see that in real time. It 41 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 2: was nice to see it was and. 42 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 1: I agree you were in the thick of it, but 43 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,960 Speaker 1: I've watched it from a distance. My brother was a 44 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,120 Speaker 1: cop for over thirty years, and you know, some of 45 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: those guys, they want the sheep dogs right. A lot 46 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: of them serve in the military. They come home, they 47 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: continue to serve. A lot of them want to get 48 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: in between the bad guys. 49 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 2: And the week. 50 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: A lot of them believe in the rule of law, 51 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: and some of them it's a job and they could 52 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: get hired and there's nothing wrong with that either. And 53 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,919 Speaker 1: they want to go home to their families. And it's 54 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: very frustrating to me how bad this whole nonsense. You know, 55 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: you can get away with horrible crimes as long as 56 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: you call yourself a protester. I don't buy that nonsense. 57 00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: Michael Quincelvan. I'm going to make a statement. I'm going 58 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: to ask you to react to it as to whether 59 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 1: you think that's true, and then what you think about 60 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: it if it is. And this statement goes like this, 61 00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: Greg Abbott has always wanted to be president. 62 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 2: I knew Greg Abbott when he was in Houston. 63 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: He's always desperately done everything he possibly can to be president. He's, 64 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: you know, one of these guys. It's a stepping stone 65 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: guy all the way up. Everything he ever does is 66 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: for that next office, and the end goals to be 67 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: president and he had hoped to be president by now, 68 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,680 Speaker 1: but of course that didn't happen. He wants to be president. 69 00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,560 Speaker 1: He wants to run in twenty twenty eight, and everything 70 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: he's done this legislative session has been to set him 71 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: up with the wins he thinks he needs to get there. 72 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: In order to do that, he decided that school vouchers 73 00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: would be something that he could sell to the nation 74 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,719 Speaker 1: as I'm a guy that got this done. I care 75 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 1: about kids. In order to do that, he had to 76 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 1: declare war on some of drunk dates lieutenants who were 77 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 1: working against him. He had to devote all the political 78 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,919 Speaker 1: capital he had to get it done. I don't like 79 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,240 Speaker 1: the effort that came out of it because it's not 80 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: what I wanted to see, but it is a win 81 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:38,919 Speaker 1: for him on paper, and that's how he'll perceive it. 82 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 2: That's how he'll sell it. 83 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 1: However, I've been told that a meeting was held by 84 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: Burrows with the Republican Caucus that said, if we vote 85 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: for this, if we pass it, Abbott has the commitment 86 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 1: of Trump, and maybe Trump was on a phone call 87 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 1: that he will endorse every single state rep next year 88 00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 1: for re election for voting for this no matter what 89 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: else you do this session, and that gave them carte 90 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: blanche to act like fools, to never get property taxes done, 91 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: to do all the other things they did, and it 92 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: was all sold out for a Trump endorsement in their 93 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,799 Speaker 1: re election for candidates that Trump never would have endorsed otherwise. 94 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 2: Is all of that true? 95 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 3: I think there are certainly bits and pieces of that 96 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 3: that are that are very accurate. 97 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 2: Well that's better than my usual, so I'll take it. 98 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, you've just made that up, now, you know. And 99 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 3: I think that's I think. I think, I think your 100 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 3: end analysis is the most important thing, which is you 101 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 3: had a lot of folks think that that by delivering 102 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 3: on on Governor Abbott school choice can whatever you think 103 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 3: of it. You know, for thirty years Republicans have promised 104 00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 3: school choice. They finally have something that school choice right now. 105 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 3: What you know, whether they like the details of they 106 00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,279 Speaker 3: did deliver on that. The fact of the matter, though, 107 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 3: is that it presumes that the electorate are a bunch 108 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:04,600 Speaker 3: of lemmings. 109 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 2: Who, oh, we've got school choice. 110 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 3: I don't worry about anything else, So Donald Trump endorse 111 00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 3: I don't worry about anything else. And I think that there 112 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 3: is some more nuance. I think that Texans are you know, 113 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 3: do have other issues, they care about them, just school choice. 114 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,159 Speaker 3: At the end of the day, the school choice program 115 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:24,160 Speaker 3: is going to affect one hundred thousand families, right at 116 00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 3: most one hundred thousand families, which means the three to 117 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 3: four million kids are in public schools might see a 118 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,479 Speaker 3: little bit out of it, not much, right, You've got 119 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 3: to do something to affect those folks as well. So 120 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 3: I think that the false promise which reportedly was made, 121 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,920 Speaker 3: the promise that if you hope for this, Donald Trump 122 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 3: will endorse you, a lot of led chars took that 123 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 3: as kind of carte blanche. What Donald Trump has made 124 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,800 Speaker 3: clear over the years is until he posts something on 125 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,159 Speaker 3: truth Social, there ain't no endorsement. And you've seen a 126 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 3: couple of these members already pushing out this claim that 127 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 3: they have an endorsement, but there's nothing on truth Social. 128 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,279 Speaker 3: And if they're not careful, if they run too far 129 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 3: with that, they're going to get something worse than not 130 00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:09,320 Speaker 3: an endorsement. They're going to get a slap down on 131 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,800 Speaker 3: truth Social, which is something no Republican incumbent state rep wants. 132 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 3: If they've got a primary challenge. But the bigger problem, 133 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 3: though there's not that specific political problem, but the problem 134 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 3: of they thought by delivering that they don't have to 135 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 3: deliver on these other priorities of the Republican Party, these 136 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 3: other priorities of grassroots activists, these other priorities of their 137 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 3: precinct chairs. The most notable, which is in the same 138 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 3: way for thirty years, they've been talking about school choice 139 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:42,520 Speaker 3: for thirty years. Michael, We've had Republicans talk about reducing 140 00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 3: and even eliminating all or most of our property tax burden, 141 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,560 Speaker 3: and yet once again we didn't get that done this 142 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 3: legislative session. And there's many Texans that that represents a 143 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 3: gut punch to a lot of people. 144 00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: And I'll tell you, Galveston is seeing a buyer's market 145 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:02,920 Speaker 1: they're calling it, which is a nice way of saying, 146 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: a devaluation of properties and property values. And the market 147 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 1: is going to reflect that. And I think that is 148 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: in large part because of Galveston's high taxes. And if 149 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: that doesn't change, Republicans are eventually going to have to 150 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: pay the cost of that. Michael Quinn Sullivan, You're fantastic. 151 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: Keep up the great work. 152 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 3: The Michael varies show continues to use to use. 153 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 2: I think Ramon is selling X tabs on the sign 154 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 2: on the side. Who are you playing? 155 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: Ed M? 156 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,480 Speaker 2: Now what's going on with you? Is something going on 157 00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,360 Speaker 2: in your personal life? I'm reading between the lines here. 158 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 2: This is a very odd choice. Uh So. 159 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,960 Speaker 1: I want to make sure everybody understands something. So forgive 160 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,600 Speaker 1: me in very very simple terms if you already know this. 161 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:11,320 Speaker 1: Insiders have a tendency to think that everybody understands exactly 162 00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: what's going on. If you really want a reality check, 163 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 1: ask a random person at your office who doesn't watch 164 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: Fox News all day, doesn't listen to radio all day, 165 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: doesn't follow politics on Twitter all day. You know somebody 166 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: that's more interested in primetime TV or sports, or crochet 167 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:40,120 Speaker 1: or travel or old cars, And ask that person a 168 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 1: couple of basic questions, not in a judgment a way, 169 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: and you'll be shocked how many people didn't know that 170 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: Joe Biden was severely demented and fell over all the time. 171 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 2: They had no idea. 172 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:55,439 Speaker 1: And when you tell them things like that, they may 173 00:09:55,520 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: think you're cuckoo because it can't possibly be true. That's 174 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:05,160 Speaker 1: the greatest defense for the absurdism that is American politics, 175 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,640 Speaker 1: is that a lot of people can't believe that could 176 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:08,840 Speaker 1: really possibly be true. 177 00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:13,920 Speaker 2: The deep State can't really be spying on us. There's 178 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:14,360 Speaker 2: no way. 179 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: There's no way they knew that the COVID shot was 180 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 1: more likely to kill you than COVID itself was. 181 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 2: There's a way they wouldn't do that, right. 182 00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 1: There is the naive neighbor belief that you know, things 183 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: are pretty good, y'all are getting y'all get crazy, right, y'all, 184 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 1: So we have to be careful that we take our 185 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,160 Speaker 1: time and keep everybody up to speed and explain the 186 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 1: game to them. 187 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 2: Here's how this works. 188 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:57,679 Speaker 1: HEMP related products, THCHC related products were growing, have been 189 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:03,319 Speaker 1: growing over the last few years to be very very popular. 190 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 1: I have people who have told me about him drinks 191 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:17,080 Speaker 1: they that they drink. And let's talk about why anybody 192 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:21,080 Speaker 1: does a drug at all. From a cigarette to a 193 00:11:21,080 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 1: cup of coffee to a beer, whiskey, wine. 194 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,720 Speaker 2: All of these are drugs, all of them. 195 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:34,120 Speaker 1: We operate under this false belief, which is both naive 196 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:37,599 Speaker 1: and silly, that things that are legal are good and 197 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 1: things that are illegal or bad. That's the dumbest thing ever, 198 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: that is saying that Shila Jackson Lee should make decisions 199 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,840 Speaker 1: for you. Because legislators are made up of a bunch 200 00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:50,959 Speaker 1: of Shila Jackson Leees and Sylvester Turners. That's just a fact. 201 00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 1: Whatever they do should not be what's in your best 202 00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: interest any more than you would take their advice on 203 00:11:57,840 --> 00:11:59,959 Speaker 1: how to parent or your life part. 204 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,120 Speaker 2: You just wouldn't because they're dumb dumbs. 205 00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: So let's leave out what's legal and not legal as 206 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 1: some sort of childlike idea that that will determine what's 207 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: good and what's bad because a group of legislators thought. So. 208 00:12:15,960 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 1: Just think about some of the other dumb, dumb things 209 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,320 Speaker 1: they do, all right, So now let's talk about things 210 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:26,440 Speaker 1: based on science, in fact and experience perspective. People do 211 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:31,480 Speaker 1: drugs to give them more energy or more focus. I 212 00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: think the big advancement in the next few years is 213 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:43,400 Speaker 1: going to be a mainstream, relatively cheap, very effective focus drug. 214 00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,080 Speaker 1: Folks have been pecking around the edge of this for 215 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,200 Speaker 1: a long time. I think someone's going to get it right, 216 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 1: and I think it's going to be I think it's 217 00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: going to be like what was the boner drug by 218 00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:03,199 Speaker 1: viagra to be the next viagra. I think it's going 219 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,920 Speaker 1: to be the next blood pressure medication. I think that's 220 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,959 Speaker 1: going to be the thing A focus factor type product 221 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:14,480 Speaker 1: is going. It's already a massive industry, and it's going 222 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 1: to be more. I got news for you. When you 223 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,880 Speaker 1: wake up in the morning and you say, don't talk 224 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:21,600 Speaker 1: to me, it's all I've had my cup of coffee, 225 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: that is not an endorsement of the flavor of coffee. 226 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 1: Coffee is a delivery mechanism for caffeine. You are addicted, 227 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:37,680 Speaker 1: whether physically or emotionally psychologically, to coffee. 228 00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:38,839 Speaker 2: Most of us are. 229 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: I certainly am a've cats at Cat's Coffee.

Ramon and Chad in fairness, Chad doesn't 235 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: drink any coffee. 236 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 2: That's just being the monk.

My cutoff is four o'clock. I 239 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 1: don't know that Ramon ever cuts off. But let's not 240 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: get his involvement in THHC and all of this. So 241 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:22,520 Speaker 1: we do these things to alter moods. We do this 242 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: to self medicate, and self medication is not necessarily a 243 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,800 Speaker 1: horrible thing. We don't have a problem with self medication 244 00:14:27,840 --> 00:14:31,560 Speaker 1: of coffee. It is the most used drug in America 245 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: today and it's not even close. It's not even close. Oh, 246 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,120 Speaker 1: but it's okay because it's been made legal. Okay, I 247 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 1: guess you now let Sheila Jackson Leane make decisions for you. 248 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 1: You now let Anthony Fauci make decisions for you, So 249 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 1: I don't have a problem if you want to do coffee. 250 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,040 Speaker 1: I believe in freedom, and freedom means a freedom to 251 00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,640 Speaker 1: make decisions that I might not necessarily make. 252 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 2: And that means if you want to gamble. 253 00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: If you want to go take out a loan on 254 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:03,440 Speaker 1: your watch forty percent interest, nobody's making you do those things. 255 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: If you want to work over time and not get 256 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,600 Speaker 1: time and a half, if you want to work a 257 00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 1: job for a lower wage, then you'd ideally like all 258 00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: of those are decisions for you, an adult, to make 259 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:20,400 Speaker 1: for himself.

When we're doing well financially, 334 00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 1: I get the three dollars and seventeen cent one. 335 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:56,359 Speaker 2: I splurge. 336 00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:02,960 Speaker 1: For fifty four years, he estimates he's had nineteen seven 337 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:08,399 Speaker 1: hundred and ten McDonald's breakfasts. He eats there without fail. 338 00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: He eats the McDonald's breakfast. He's never dieted in his life. 339 00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 1: He drinks five coca colas through the course of the day. 340 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: He eats peanut brittle for lunch, and he enjoys ice 341 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:30,880 Speaker 1: cream for dinner. Asked why he keeps this regimen, he said, 342 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 1: I checked the Actuary of tables. The lowest death rate 343 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:41,040 Speaker 1: is among six year olds, so I eat like one. 344 00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 1: The reason I tell you that is because I saw 345 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 1: I saw a meme that showed a continuum, and it 346 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,879 Speaker 1: was somebody's quote, I don't remember who it was. 347 00:21:57,920 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 2: It was a Robert F. 348 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 1: Kennedy kind of statement and said, you're not worth anything dead, 349 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 1: and you're not worth anything healthy. You are worth the 350 00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:16,640 Speaker 1: most in a continuous state of needing health care, if 351 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,840 Speaker 1: you were to ask. And let's look at third world countries, 352 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: and the ones I've studied the most for obvious reasons 353 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,400 Speaker 1: are Ethiopia and India. But let's look at any third 354 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 1: world country where the vast majority of people, over ninety 355 00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: percent live in abject poverty. If you were king and 356 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,399 Speaker 1: you loved your people and you wanted them to be 357 00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:42,120 Speaker 1: as happy as possible, let's leave healthy aside from homent, 358 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 1: because that's such a subjective. You wanted your people to 359 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 1: be contented. You want them to live without pain. You 360 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:56,560 Speaker 1: wanted them to live a pain free life, disease free. 361 00:22:57,640 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: There are a few things you could do that cost 362 00:22:59,560 --> 00:23:03,600 Speaker 1: little or own money, and that is solid sleep for 363 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,160 Speaker 1: eight hours or more every single night without exception, at 364 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:12,720 Speaker 1: a consistent bedtime. Plenty of water. Now that becomes difficult 365 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 1: in places because you have. 366 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,159 Speaker 2: Malaria, you have various. 367 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 1: Water born illnesses, and clean water is a privilege of 368 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 1: the developed world, but every American could get plenty of sleep, 369 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:35,320 Speaker 1: plenty of water, basic simple exercise. It turns out now 370 00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 1: that most folks believe that jogging is not part of 371 00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,560 Speaker 1: and in fact is often contrary to. 372 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,320 Speaker 2: A good health regimen. 373 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: Reducing your stress, and that usually means reducing stressful people, 374 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: eliminating stressful people out of your life. One of the 375 00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:59,360 Speaker 1: most interesting parts of Camp Hope six month program, Christian 376 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:03,160 Speaker 1: based that you find and thank you for that at 377 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 1: the PTSD Foundation of America is taking away your phone 378 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: and taking away your contact with the stressors, the triggers. 379 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:19,360 Speaker 1: And I'm told by David Malsby the number one stressor 380 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 1: the number one trigger for a veteran who comes in 381 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: the door suicidal, addicted to all sorts of drugs and 382 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:31,199 Speaker 1: ready to kill themselves, incapable of surviving, and they're going 383 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 1: to build him up so that in six months he 384 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:35,640 Speaker 1: has the tools to go back out in the world 385 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: and survive as a combat veteran. The number one trigger 386 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 1: is his girlfriend or wife, not because she's a bad person, 387 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:49,200 Speaker 1: but because they've developed in their relationship certain patterns that 388 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 1: trigger him. And the second one is his mother for 389 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,440 Speaker 1: many of the some reasons. So they have to learn 390 00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: to deal with their love language and how that stresses them. 391 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,439 Speaker 1: All of those things we just described costs little or 392 00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 1: no money, and if we really cared about public health, 393 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 1: that's what we'd do. 394 00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:10,160 Speaker 4: This is the Michael Mary Show show. 395 00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:16,720 Speaker 2: How great are the Beg's. 396 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,639 Speaker 1: Well, at first you got their entire body work, and 397 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: then they go here, we're gonna write this song. It's 398 00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,080 Speaker 1: really our song, but we'll hand it to you. Samantha sang, 399 00:25:26,119 --> 00:25:28,600 Speaker 1: and you sing it. Oh you want us to sing 400 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:34,160 Speaker 1: background on a song that Robin and I wrote. 401 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 2: Do you remember the first time you heard. 402 00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 1: Barry Gibb talk and you realized, oh, he doesn't sound 403 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:46,720 Speaker 1: he doesn't speak in falsetto all the time. Listen, real 404 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:51,120 Speaker 1: men love the Beg's, and that's just a fact. Real 405 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:53,360 Speaker 1: men love the Beg's. And I'm gonna tell you something else. 406 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:58,679 Speaker 2: Real straight men love disco. 407 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:05,879 Speaker 1: Now, if you say to me, oh, no, disco is 408 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:11,359 Speaker 1: filling the blank, you are projecting and you're trying too hard. 409 00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:16,119 Speaker 1: We've all seen that dude who spent he spends all 410 00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,919 Speaker 1: his time pounding the Bible talking about the homos and 411 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,880 Speaker 1: it turns out he's gay. Nobody likes that guy. Nobody 412 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,280 Speaker 1: likes that guy, and we all see it coming. We've 413 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:30,440 Speaker 1: all Haggard, who was the pastor in Colorado. Every Sunday 414 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,240 Speaker 1: he got up and told how awful the homos were. 415 00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:35,800 Speaker 1: He hated the homos. The homos were terrible. He'd hate 416 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 1: gay Dave. 417 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 2: How can you not like gay Dave. 418 00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,639 Speaker 1: Jay Dave has emerged as one of Roma's favorite callers. 419 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,199 Speaker 1: And I know that because if there's eight calls on 420 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 1: the line, he'll put gay Dave and he'll. 421 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 2: It'll still say unknown on the others. 422 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 1: He's trying very subtly, like Jeeves did with Bertie Wooster. 423 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,760 Speaker 1: He's trying to get you drive my behavior over here. 424 00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: Let's put gay Dave on, because I guess because gay 425 00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:05,639 Speaker 1: Dave gives him compliments or sends him beef jerky or 426 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:06,920 Speaker 1: who tickets. 427 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 2: To concerts or something. So here is the problem. 428 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 1: Disco displaced classic rock, and that pissed people off, and 429 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:24,959 Speaker 1: rightfully so, because classic rock was was was was in 430 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 1: the middle of a good phase. And then disco takes 431 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 1: over and radio stations ruin everything, and the radio stations 432 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 1: started flipping to playing disco, and so it was sort 433 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,719 Speaker 1: of like, yeah, we don't we don't need any classic 434 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: rock anymore. So if you wanted to be relevant and 435 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 1: pay your bills as a classic rock artist, you had 436 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 1: to alter what you were doing and make disco songs. 437 00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 1: That's what the Stones did. You can call it a 438 00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:57,719 Speaker 1: sell out, you can do what you want, but at 439 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:00,520 Speaker 1: the end of the day, nobody calls you sell out 440 00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,200 Speaker 1: for showing up when they tell you to show up 441 00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:04,879 Speaker 1: and being back at the time they tell you to 442 00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:08,119 Speaker 1: be back and doing the tasks that they give you 443 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 1: to do. Those guys have to pay their bills too, 444 00:28:11,440 --> 00:28:17,920 Speaker 1: and the purists just died off. The reason people hate 445 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:22,880 Speaker 1: disco is number one, it displaced classic rock, and classic 446 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,680 Speaker 1: rock never recovered, not in the mainstream, not the way 447 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:31,840 Speaker 1: it had. And number two, because disco's two greatest influences 448 00:28:32,440 --> 00:28:36,560 Speaker 1: were homos and blacks, and you could say homos and 449 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 1: blacks in nightclub music. But then, what killed disco or 450 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 1: what replaced disco? What replaced disco was basically British led 451 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 1: disco repackaged. That's still disco. It's not as good as disco. 452 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:01,760 Speaker 1: But I will tell you this for everybody that says 453 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 1: they don't like disco. You go to a wedding, and 454 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 1: whether it's a DJ or a live cover band, you 455 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:14,280 Speaker 1: watch a disco song being played and you see how 456 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,640 Speaker 1: many people run out to the floor. And I'm talking 457 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 1: about people my age and above. 458 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 2: People love it. 459 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,360 Speaker 1: They love it way more than the eighties. The only 460 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,720 Speaker 1: reason anybody likes eighties music is because that's when we 461 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 1: grew up. 462 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,280 Speaker 2: You like what is familiar. 463 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,000 Speaker 1: If you didn't grow up in the eighties, you don't 464 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 1: care for the eighties music because by and large, it's 465 00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:41,800 Speaker 1: not any good. Belinda Carlisle, that's not going to be 466 00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:47,280 Speaker 1: in the archives one hundred years from now. You're not 467 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 1: going to see Duran Duran eighty years from now.
