People that don't know you, well, I'm gonna 0:00:23.200 --> 0:00:27.280 give them a little bit of a clue. You absolutely 0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:31.360 love movies, and you put together a list of your 0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:35.280 favorite movies and also series and shows that you watch. 0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:37.920 And if you've ever wondered what Senator Cruz is watching 0:00:37.920 --> 0:00:40.640 when he's flying all the time, here's a really good 0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:42.520 list we're gonna be giving you on this Christmas. 0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:44.960 Well, and let me just echo that Merry Christmas. I 0:00:45.000 --> 0:00:47.680 hope you're having a wonderful and blessed day. I hope 0:00:47.720 --> 0:00:51.600 Sanna came down the chimney and your kids are overjoyed, 0:00:51.640 --> 0:00:54.720 and you're spending time, maybe with some hot cocoa. We 0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:57.560 often do Christmas by the tree, where all be in 0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:00.440 my bathrobe. We'll all be in our pajamas, the kids 0:01:00.440 --> 0:01:03.400 will be opening presents. We all actually have cups of 0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:06.200 hot cope coat and it's a beautiful time and it's 0:01:06.200 --> 0:01:08.720 a beautiful time to reflect not just on the love 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:11.559 your family has for each other, but the love God 0:01:11.600 --> 0:01:14.000 has for us and the salvation He sent for us. Now, 0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:16.920 I don't know about you, but over holidays, what my 0:01:17.040 --> 0:01:18.880 family has always done is we go to movies. We 0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:21.360 go to movies over Thanksgiving break, we go to movies 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:24.319 over Christmas break. I love movies. As a kid, both 0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:26.840 my parents love movies. I would go to movies with 0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:28.480 my mom and dad when I was a little kid. 0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:29.800 I still go to movies with them now. 0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:32.200 But I mean, you're a movie theater guy. Just so 0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:33.560 people know this, I like. 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:35.560 The real theater, so I like the big screen. I 0:01:35.680 --> 0:01:40.120 like popcorn and gummy bears, and you know, the experience 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:43.200 of being there. And by the way, I'm also rabid 0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:46.440 about staying until the very end, till the last moment 0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:48.600 of the credits play. I will not get up and leave. 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:52.560 There's a sense of completeness of appreciating the entirety of 0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:56.240 the movie. And so what we decided we do today 0:01:56.280 --> 0:02:00.600 is put together just a compilation of movies that that 0:02:00.680 --> 0:02:03.960 I love, that I recommend to you, and and hopefully 0:02:03.960 --> 0:02:05.840 as you're taking some time with your family, maybe you'll 0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:08.200 go watch one of them and laugh or cry, and 0:02:08.240 --> 0:02:10.720 it'll touch you and you'll enjoy it. And I think 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:13.560 art and storytelling are beautiful, beautiful things. 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:17.400 So that being said here in the big shows and 0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:22.200 the big movies on Senator Cruise's list, Merry Christmas. I 0:02:22.200 --> 0:02:24.799 get asked all the time from many of you guys 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:27.640 that are watching or listening right now, what is Ted 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:31.240 Cruz like behind the scenes. So we thought we'd have 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:33.920 a little fun. I'm gonna ask him some questions, and 0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:37.200 you're even gonna find out what his favorite movies are. Senator, 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:39.560 We're gonna have a little fun. I get asked all 0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:41.919 the time when I'm all over the country. In half 0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:43.880 of this last week in New York, so what is 0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:47.640 Ted Cruz really like behind the scenes? And I say, 0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:49.800 I actually, if people got to see the side of 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:52.760 you that I know, you're actually really fun to be around. 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:56.880 You're also a huge movie buff as well, and so 0:02:57.120 --> 0:03:00.000 I'm gonna ask some fun questions just to kind of 0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:02.919 let people know behind the curtain who you really are. 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:05.880 So let's start with this. What is the last thing 0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:07.920 you watched on a plane? 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:11.360 What is the last thing I watched on a plane? 0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:15.960 Was outer Banks. Okay, which is a series. It's a 0:03:15.960 --> 0:03:18.480 teeny bopper series, and it's phenomenal. I am in the 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:20.920 middle of season three. And there's a reason I'm watching 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:24.360 a teeny bopper series, which is my youngest daughter, Catherine 0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:27.560 loves Outer Banks. She's at camp right now, yep. And 0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:30.040 when I dropped her off at camp, she said, Dad, 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:32.320 I want you to watch out her Banks, and I 0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:35.400 want you to write to me in letters and tell 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:38.520 me what you think is the season's progressing. And so 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:40.800 I've been regularly. I write to her about every couple 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:43.280 of days and I tell her, Okay, here's where I am. 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:45.840 I'm at this point. I'm at this point. This character 0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:49.920 just my favorite character, JB. Yeah too, no doubt about it. 0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:51.880 So she asked me that I'm a little troubled. Her 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:55.000 favorite character is JJ who who is kind of a 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:57.840 look I guess if you're a thirteen year old girl, 0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:01.000 he's you know, he's always doing the dumbest thing imaginable, 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:03.640 but he's kind of a I like John B. John 0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:04.560 B is a good character. 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:07.560 It's such a fun show. So when you were growing up, 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:10.400 what was it that you were watching high school college? 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:12.920 But by the way, spoiler alert. I apologize if you 0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:14.760 haven't seen seen it, I'm gonna give a spoiler alert 0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:16.920 right now, So just fast forward through this if you 0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:19.960 don't want a spoiler alert. But in season two, when 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:23.040 when when Ward is blown blown up, I knew Ward 0:04:23.160 --> 0:04:25.360 was not blown up, and so I wrote her, I said, yeah, 0:04:25.400 --> 0:04:28.280 Ward just died. I'm very confident he's alive. And I 0:04:28.440 --> 0:04:31.080 remembered they keep scuba gear in the boat. He got 0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:32.880 in the scuba gear and then like seven. 0:04:32.680 --> 0:04:36.440 EPs books remember those there you got to figure it out, 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:38.080 and you're like, they got to keep this, they gotta 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:38.640 keep the series. 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:40.840 So I felt pretty good that I was at least 0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:42.839 a step ahead of the teeny Bopper series. 0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:45.680 I like that. So what were you watching in high school? 0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:45.839 Like? 0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:48.599 What were your favorite shows? What was your favorite movie? 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:52.640 So I love movies. My parents love movies, like like 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:55.880 we would, you know, this is what we do. So 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:59.040 so every holiday, every Thanksgiving, every Christmas, my family got 0:04:59.040 --> 0:04:59.679 and watch movies. 0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:01.200 I heard a Christmas movie. 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:03.640 Of course it is okay good, absolutely, yes, there's only 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:06.799 one right answer. Guy Heart is absolutely a Christmas movie. 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:09.720 But we would go out and do movies When I 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:12.200 was a kid, when I was like eight nine years old, 0:05:12.279 --> 0:05:14.560 my dad would drop me off at the theater all 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:17.680 Saturday and I'd watch like five movies. I'd go from 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:19.680 one theater to the next to the next and just 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:22.760 watch everything there. It's we all love movies. So what 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:26.239 I've done done today for this show is I put 0:05:26.279 --> 0:05:29.240 together a list of twenty five movies. Now this is 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:32.160 not exclusive, this is not the only twenty five movies 0:05:32.200 --> 0:05:34.159 I like, and I don't even know that it's my 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:38.240 twenty five favorite. But it's twenty five awesome movies, which 0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:40.680 if you haven't watched, I recommend you watch. You will 0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:43.279 enjoy them. You will laugh, you will be moved, you 0:05:43.320 --> 0:05:45.320 will get good things from them. So let's go through 0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:45.960 the twenty five. 0:05:46.160 --> 0:05:47.799 I gotta ask for one more question for your twenty 0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:50.040 five What movie have you watched the most in your 0:05:50.080 --> 0:05:51.520 life over and over again? 0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:53.680 Well, that actually happens to be number one on the list. 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:54.839 I knew it. I like this. 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:58.560 So my favorite movie of all time is The Princess Bride. Really, 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:02.240 I love The Princess Bride the Prince. I think every 0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:06.200 character in it is exquisite. Every line from every character 0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:09.839 is fantastic. I'll tell you. In college, we used to 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:13.919 play a game called Drinking Princess Bride. And so the 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:16.360 way you play Drinking Princess Bride as you sit down 0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:18.039 with a bunch of college kids, you put the movie 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:22.320 on and you try to say each line immediately before 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:25.360 it's said. If you get it right, you point at 0:06:25.400 --> 0:06:28.760 somebody they have to drink. If you screw it up 0:06:28.839 --> 0:06:32.920 even slightly, you drink. And if two or more people 0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:35.840 say the same line at the same time, everybody drinks. 0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:38.080 So when you get to the wish, why you. 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:39.760 Were so sober in college now I understand. 0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:42.680 Look, when you get to the as you wishes, everyone 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:44.760 can get them. So they're all socials and it is 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:47.920 a fun game. My problem is I know just about 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:50.279 every line from the movie, but I'll screw them up slightly, 0:06:50.400 --> 0:06:52.960 so I end up kind of getting myself because I 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:55.960 try an awful lot of them. But is an exquisite movie. 0:06:56.080 --> 0:06:58.360 I probably watched The Princess Bride, I don't know a 0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:01.800 couple hundred times. No way, it is fantastic. So that's 0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:05.520 number one on your list, far and away. Number two 0:07:05.560 --> 0:07:07.360 on my list is The Godfather Saga. 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:09.600 Couldn't agree with you more? One of the best series 0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:11.680 ever made, period. 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:13.840 And I'm not gonna break it down between one, two 0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:16.280 and three. I even like three, which is a bit 0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:19.680 of a heretical idea. I think three stands on its 0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:23.440 own as its own movie. The least that three only 0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:26.239 makes sense in conjunction with one and two. 0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:28.400 Which is when you're in the club. I kind of 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:30.720 like that, like you can't fake it and go see 0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:33.920 number three and and think oh, that was incredible. You 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:34.840 have to be in it. 0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:37.679 And look, I quote all of them all the time, 0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:39.920 you know, from three. Every time I get out, they 0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:43.320 keep pulling me back in. I will say it was 0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:47.080 a little depressing with with my team where I turned. 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:50.880 You know, senate staffers are all children. You know, your 0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:53.360 average to put that on a T shirt, your average 0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:56.640 senate staffer is like twenty three, twenty four, twenty five. 0:07:57.240 --> 0:08:00.240 So so things like Godfather quotes they just don't get. 0:08:00.800 --> 0:08:05.320 And so I said something, I said, you know, this 0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:08.160 is the business we have chosen, and like everyone looked 0:08:08.160 --> 0:08:10.840 at me confused, and I said, okay, I like six 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:13.120 staffers there. I said, all right, do any of you 0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:15.800 have any idea what I'm saying. They're like, no, no, no, 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:20.640 I said, okay, this is Godfather too, And this is 0:08:20.680 --> 0:08:24.560 a conversation between him and Roth, who is clearly modeled 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:28.960 after Myer Lanski, hym And Roth and Michael Corleoni. And 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:34.640 they're down in Miami and Hyman Roth goes Michael. I 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:37.920 had a friend. I had a friend since childhood, Moe 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:42.280 Green was his name. And one day somebody put a 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:49.400 bullet in his eye. I did not ask who was responsible. 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:58.360 I did not seek retribution. I said, this is the 0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:02.360 business we have chosen. None of them had any idea 0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:03.120 what I was talking about. 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:05.520 Team building night in the Senate. You should totally. You 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:07.280 should totally bring them in one, two and three. 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:08.120 It's nine hours. 0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:11.240 This is what you're gonna do. That's team building. 0:09:11.240 --> 0:09:14.359 One one Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Wednesday. 0:09:14.920 --> 0:09:17.480 A favorite line from any of the Godfather is the 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:19.480 best one. Mine's a canoli. 0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:21.640 Leave leave the gun, take the canola. 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:25.880 Yeah, no brainer. Number three on your list Scarface? Really? 0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:30.839 Oh I love me some scarface. Why notice Pacino has 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:33.960 two spots in my top three here? I like Pacina, Okay, 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:38.600 I love crime movies and look Scarface. Stony Montani's Cuban. 0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:43.400 I'm Cuban. It's you know, it is larger than life. 0:09:43.520 --> 0:09:45.520 I can quote a lot of lines from it. To 0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:48.000 be honest, I'm not going to because they're pretty off 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:50.240 color and I'm going to avoid putting out on the 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:53.360 podcast some of the language uh from from it. But 0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:58.720 uh it is. So crime genre is your thing and 0:09:58.760 --> 0:09:59.600 I like Pacino. 0:09:59.760 --> 0:10:00.560 Yeah, amazing. 0:10:00.640 --> 0:10:03.680 So my favorite TV show is Criminal Minds. I love 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:04.680 Criminal Minds. 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:07.040 I'm actually shocked by that one because if there is 0:10:07.080 --> 0:10:09.080 only one box that I can take with me my 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:11.240 whole life, like if I was stuck on it as 0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:12.600 a island, it'd be West Wing. 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:15.480 West Wing is fabulous. I've watched every episode of West Wing. 0:10:15.520 --> 0:10:17.960 I've watched every episode of Criminal Minds. But Criminal Minds 0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:20.320 is I just find it fascinating. Heidi hates it, by 0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:22.280 the way, when Criminal Minds is on, She's like, turn 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:25.559 that garbage off because you know you've got evil, vicious murderers. 0:10:25.600 --> 0:10:27.360 I'm like, no, no, they're the bad guys though, it's 0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:29.760 all about stopping them. But she just doesn't like that. 0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:34.880 In the house, all right. Number four Fletch never seen it. 0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:40.080 You've never seen Fletch. Go home tonight and watch Fletch. 0:10:40.400 --> 0:10:44.439 It may be the funniest movie ever made. Really, Chevy 0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:49.640 Chase plays Irwin Fletcher, an undercover investigative reporter. It is 0:10:49.679 --> 0:10:52.000 absolutely hysterical. You know, I love Tivy Chase. 0:10:52.040 --> 0:10:53.839 So that's that's It's. 0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:58.360 Chevy Chase's best movie, much much better than Lampoon's Vacation, 0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:01.680 much better than and He's Done It. I love chevy Chase. 0:11:01.840 --> 0:11:06.000 But Fletch is head and shoulders above them all. You know, Grant, 0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:09.440 who heads up my security detail. Grant and I quote 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:13.000 Fletch lines back and forth at each other every week. 0:11:13.520 --> 0:11:16.800 Really, it is Go and watch the movie. Never seen it. 0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:19.800 It is spectacular, all right, Fletch, I'm on it all right, 0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:24.160 Number five amazing. Grace also never seen it. 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:25.920 A lot of people have not seen it, but it 0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:28.880 is a very good It is the true story of 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:32.720 William Wilberforce. Now William Wilberforce was a member of Parliament 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:36.360 in the United Kingdom who led the effort to abolish 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:37.160 the slave trade. 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:39.600 Very cool, is it true? Store? 0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:43.960 True? Store and Wilberforce. So when he started as a 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:50.280 young MP, the slave trade was the United Kingdom's single 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:54.240 greatest source of revenue. It was their business. And he 0:11:54.320 --> 0:11:57.600 begins as this young MP arguing we must end the 0:11:57.600 --> 0:12:00.520 slave trade. It is wrong, it is immoral, and everyone 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:02.960 laughs at him. And it would be like if you 0:12:03.000 --> 0:12:06.080 were in Texas standing up saying we should ban oil 0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:06.600 and gas. 0:12:07.200 --> 0:12:10.000 I mean, it was that absurd of an idea back then. 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:13.760 And he spends fifty years battling for it, and the 0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:19.000 movie ends with him successfully championing and passing the legislation 0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:23.520 abolishing the slave trade and shutting down their most lucrative 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:27.560 business because it was evil. And by the way, the 0:12:27.600 --> 0:12:30.720 title amazing grace, you know where it comes from. What 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:35.760 So the person who wrote the hymn amazing Grace was 0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:41.560 a friar who had been the former captain of a 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:46.120 slave ship. Really, he was the captain of a slave ship. 0:12:46.280 --> 0:12:48.600 And think of the words of the song, amazing grace, 0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:52.959 amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch 0:12:53.240 --> 0:12:56.559 like me. I once was lost, but now and found, 0:12:57.000 --> 0:13:01.400 was blind, but now I see and imagine the person 0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:04.760 writing that in that context was the captain of a 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:08.920 slave ship. Presumably he had murdered people, he had beaten people, 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:11.120 he had whipped people. He I mean, I mean, you 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:15.200 think of the evil entailed in being the captain of 0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:19.920 a slave ship, and then the amazing grace that that 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:23.680 that God offered redemption even in the face of the 0:13:23.679 --> 0:13:28.120 horrific evil. It puts a whole different character that the 0:13:28.120 --> 0:13:31.520 book is is by Eric metaxash' A, who's a fantastic author. 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:35.679 Christian author does great biographies. I highly recommend Amazing Grace 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:41.520 Number six. Unforgiven, Never seen it? Oh, Unforgiven is. 0:13:41.679 --> 0:13:43.719 This is why it makes me laugh when we get 0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:45.839 to do shows like this, because I I mean, I 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:47.000 will go watch these now. 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:51.320 Okay, so Unforgiven Best Western ever made won the Academy 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:53.440 Award for Best Picture. Clint Eastwood is in it. 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:56.200 I could I could do an age joke. Here was 0:13:56.200 --> 0:13:57.200 it in black and white? 0:13:57.440 --> 0:14:00.480 No? No, no, no, it was actually laid Eastwood. You 0:14:00.559 --> 0:14:02.360 were actually out of diapers when it came out. 0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:03.160 Okay, gotcha. 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:06.640 Morgan Freeman is in it. Gene Hackman is in it. 0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:11.439 Gene Hackman is spectacular. What's interesting about Unforgiven that is 0:14:11.480 --> 0:14:16.240 so powerful is it turns all of the stereotypes of 0:14:16.240 --> 0:14:21.440 the Western on its head. So, for example, Clint Eastwood 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:26.280 plays this this outlaw who had turned over a good 0:14:26.360 --> 0:14:29.680 leaf and was good and then was going back gets hired. 0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:33.920 What happens is a a woman who is a prostitute 0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:37.960 is badly cut up by a drunk cowboy and they 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:41.280 put out a reward to kill the cowboy who cut 0:14:41.280 --> 0:14:46.160 her up. And Clint Eastwood, as this retired outlaw, needs 0:14:46.200 --> 0:14:49.160 the money and so is coming to collect the reward, 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:51.840 and and Morgan Freeman, his partner, comes with him. But 0:14:51.880 --> 0:14:54.520 there's a point where where Clint Eastwood, you know, there's 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:56.960 there's a young kid who wants to be a gunslinger 0:14:57.720 --> 0:15:00.280 and and he's like practicing on shooting fast, and like 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:06.080 Clint Eastwood says, well, you know, for me, this is 0:15:06.120 --> 0:15:09.120 about as fast as I can draw my gun, point it, 0:15:10.040 --> 0:15:12.840 aim at it, pull the trigger, and hit what I'm 0:15:12.840 --> 0:15:17.120 aiming at. And he said, in most firefights, people are 0:15:17.120 --> 0:15:19.960 scared out of their mind and they're just terrified. And 0:15:20.000 --> 0:15:24.040 whoever can kind of calmly engages who wins. And there 0:15:24.080 --> 0:15:26.440 are scenes where like everyone's like, oh crap, and they 0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:28.160 shoot their foot and they drop their gun and they're 0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:30.200 like freaking out. And he kind of and he would 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:34.080 just get drunk and just sort of systematically bang, and 0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:40.120 it really did invert many of the conventional wisdom. 0:15:39.840 --> 0:15:42.040 Of being a fast draw on everything else. 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:46.320 And Gene Hackman's character is hysterical. It is. He's the 0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:50.600 sheriff who initially you think might be the hero, but 0:15:50.640 --> 0:15:56.240 he very quickly becomes an anti hero. So excellent. Movie 0:15:56.400 --> 0:15:58.040 number eight, Team America. 0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:01.240 I've actually seen it, Hilary. 0:16:00.440 --> 0:16:03.440 And I'm going a little edgy. So Team America, Team America, 0:16:03.440 --> 0:16:05.760 World Police. It's a puppet movie. 0:16:06.080 --> 0:16:07.960 I remember when it came out. Everybody was in shock, 0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:09.200 but I was dying laughing. 0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:12.000 So Heidi didn't like movies very much. I took Heidi 0:16:12.080 --> 0:16:14.880 to see it. She almost fell to the floor laughing. 0:16:14.840 --> 0:16:16.120 So she y'all clicked on that. 0:16:16.280 --> 0:16:19.800 It is screamingly funny. Now it makes fun of both sides. 0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:23.120 It makes fun of Republicans, Democrats, every ding. It's the 0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:26.840 guys who do South Park who did it? It is puppets. 0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:30.400 They are truly equal opportunity offenders. 0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:33.440 It is now. I'm going to give a warning. Every 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:37.200 third word is a profanity. If you're offended by profanity, 0:16:37.240 --> 0:16:40.400 skipped this suggestion, I will say. When we were fairly 0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:43.960 newly weeds, we went on vacation with Heidie's parents down 0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:47.200 at Lake Powell, which is fabulous, and we brought it 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:50.600 with us and we sort of like, Heidi and I remember, 0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:52.680 this is really really funny, and I think we didn't 0:16:52.760 --> 0:16:56.280 quite remember that every third word is a profanity. And 0:16:56.320 --> 0:16:58.880 I'm sitting there with Heidie's parents as we're listening to 0:16:58.920 --> 0:17:02.760 the blinkety blink blink blink, blink blink. We didn't finish 0:17:02.760 --> 0:17:04.399 the movie really, like ten minutes into it. 0:17:04.400 --> 0:17:06.320 We just I can't believe you brought this in front 0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:10.000 of your parents, right, yeah, it was, but it's still 0:17:10.160 --> 0:17:11.439 funny as I'll get it, all right. 0:17:12.520 --> 0:17:13.920 Next movie, Patten. 0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:18.680 Yep, amazing, amazing movie. I've watched Patton probably five six 0:17:18.720 --> 0:17:19.400 times in my life. 0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:21.160 All Right, do you know what I did before every 0:17:21.160 --> 0:17:22.600 Supreme Court argument I ever did? 0:17:22.920 --> 0:17:24.960 Well, I can figure it out now you watch Patten. 0:17:25.160 --> 0:17:28.400 Not the whole thing, just which scene the opening speech? Okay, yeah, 0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:31.280 just the opening speech George C. Scott in front of 0:17:31.320 --> 0:17:36.560 the gigantic flag, standing up and saying, men, the objective 0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:39.760 is not to give your life for your country. The 0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:41.760 objective is to make that other poor son of a 0:17:41.800 --> 0:17:45.119 bitch give his life for his country. I mean, I 0:17:45.160 --> 0:17:45.679 can dig that. 0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:46.440 I can dig that. 0:17:47.200 --> 0:17:51.159 It is sound advice. If you can watch that speech 0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:54.040 and not be inspired, you're dead. Yeah, like it is. 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:57.360 See, those are my weakness movies. I love true stories. 0:17:57.880 --> 0:18:01.560 I love good versus evil movies. I absolutely love sports 0:18:01.600 --> 0:18:03.600 movies as well, but there's always usually a big speech 0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:04.000 in those. 0:18:04.119 --> 0:18:07.120 By the way, a buddy of mine collects historical military 0:18:07.200 --> 0:18:11.920 equipment and clothing and uniforms, and he has patents dog tags, 0:18:12.480 --> 0:18:16.000 no way, And I actually have worn Patten's dog tags. 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:19.600 They have rested on my bare chest and I literally 0:18:19.600 --> 0:18:21.359 felt like I was ready to pull out a pistol 0:18:21.400 --> 0:18:24.120 and start shooting in an airplane. Like it made you. 0:18:24.119 --> 0:18:27.919 You think about that that actually rested right above the 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:28.800 heart of patent. 0:18:29.119 --> 0:18:31.640 That's incredibly wild. That's a good thing known all right. 0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:36.000 Next movie The Sting Classic. Have you seen this? You've 0:18:36.000 --> 0:18:36.800 never seen the sk. 0:18:36.960 --> 0:18:38.120 I don't even know what it's about. 0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:43.720 Oh, oh, Benjamin Benjamin Benjamin The Sting All time classic. 0:18:43.800 --> 0:18:47.359 Robert Redford, Paul Newman, they're they're con men. It is 0:18:47.720 --> 0:18:48.080 this is. 0:18:48.040 --> 0:18:49.920 This is when I can really mess with. Wait. Newman 0:18:50.000 --> 0:18:52.080 does something outside of like SASA like. 0:18:52.640 --> 0:18:56.400 It is hysterical. It is beautifully done. Go and watch 0:18:56.600 --> 0:19:00.280 what's it about? It's about conmen, okay, and it's it's 0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:03.920 worth watching. I'd probably watched it one hundred times in way. 0:19:03.960 --> 0:19:08.800 Such a good movie. All right, next movie, Awakenings. Yes, 0:19:09.240 --> 0:19:11.960 I've seen that, so Awake. It's only one. So Awakenings 0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:15.240 is fabulous. Robert de Niro, you're a de Niro fan. 0:19:15.359 --> 0:19:17.399 I like de Niro a lot. Not a fan of 0:19:17.400 --> 0:19:19.119 his politics, but a big fan of his acting. He 0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:21.920 is a great actor. Although as much de Niro got 0:19:21.960 --> 0:19:24.680 all the acclaim but I actually thought Robin Williams stole 0:19:24.720 --> 0:19:25.080 the show. 0:19:25.640 --> 0:19:27.520 Well, I love Robin Williams, So this is what this 0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:28.280 is right at my alley. 0:19:28.440 --> 0:19:31.720 Robin Williams is one of my all time favorite actors ever. 0:19:32.280 --> 0:19:34.840 I mean, he's an incredible comedic actor, so. 0:19:34.840 --> 0:19:36.680 You're gonna laugh. I was asked the question if you 0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:38.840 could have dinner with like any five people who would 0:19:38.840 --> 0:19:41.800 be at your table, living or alive or dead. I 0:19:41.840 --> 0:19:44.439 had Robin Williams for years in my list because I 0:19:44.480 --> 0:19:46.560 think he's just one of the most brilliant actors and 0:19:47.000 --> 0:19:48.240 genuinely funny human beings. 0:19:48.280 --> 0:19:52.000 So when Robin and Williams passed, I genuinely cried and 0:19:52.080 --> 0:19:54.880 I wrote a long statement about Robin Williams on Facebook 0:19:54.880 --> 0:19:56.439 that I put up, but it just I hammered it 0:19:56.480 --> 0:20:00.639 out of my iPad because he he is so so funny. 0:20:00.680 --> 0:20:03.280
