1
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:11,119
Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. So

2
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 1: Michael Verie Show is.

3
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 2: On the air.

4
00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 3: Trump can't handle strong successful women.

5
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: You can't handle women, particularly strong women.

6
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,319
Speaker 3: Donald Trump, you never see him around strong intelligent women.

7
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 4: I am woman. Here.

8
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 5: We will undertake a large job and a large duty

9
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 5: that we have to fulfill that the American people expect

10
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 5: us to do by securing our border, to make sure

11
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 5: that our nation is a nation with borders or we're

12
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 5: no nation at all, and that we are making sure

13
00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 5: that those criminal actors that are perpetuating violence in our

14
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 5: communities and in our in our cities and towns and states,

15
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 5: are removed.

16
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 1: From this country.

17
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 5: That there's consequences for breaking the law in our country. Again,

18
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 5: there has to be consequences, because when American break the law,

19
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 5: there's consequences, and that will be the priority. And that

20
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 5: is one of the reasons that today the American people

21
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 5: have lost their trust. President Trump will build it back

22
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 5: and know that their federal government is accountable to them.

23
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 1: Long how long.

24
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 4: They got here?

25
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:34,000
Speaker 1: Right on, don't need any guns.

26
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:44,360
Speaker 6: Long just the American people delivered quite an incredible mandate

27
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 6: for change in this election with the popular vote and

28
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 6: the electoral vote overwhelmingly saying hey, we want Donald Trump

29
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 6: as president and we've had enough of the Harris Biden regime.

30
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 6: Of course there's going to be resistance to change from

31
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 6: the swamp in Water, Washington. I think that's kind of

32
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 6: the point the American people are saying, Hey, stop looking

33
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 6: at yourselves, Stop focusing on your own power, your own position,

34
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 6: your own bank accounts. How about we have leaders in

35
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 6: Washington who are actually looking out for the American people

36
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 6: and on every issue across the board. That's really what

37
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 6: it comes down to with what President Trump is trying

38
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 6: to accomplish is we have to make sure that our

39
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 6: government puts the interests of the American people first.

40
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 1: Jesus, not long, not long right in hide seven.

41
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 7: To nine, not long, don't need guns long.

42
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:53,679
Speaker 8: I will fight every day to restore confidence and integrity

43
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,519
Speaker 8: to the Department of Justice and each of its components.

44
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 8: The partisanship, the weaponization will be gone. America will have

45
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 8: one tier of justice.

46
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 7: Calling lady, some call name, but you won't have a

47
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 7: call it. Let around me my name.

48
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: There are brewings afoot in the US Senate race for

49
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: next year. John Cornyn posted picture of himself reading the

50
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 1: art of the deal. Hence McLean made a parody meme

51
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: of that, which had him reading a book How Not

52
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: to be primaried. It is too little, too late. All

53
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: of the attempts to defeat Ken Paxton, the impeachment, the

54
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: George P. Bush race, all the things they've done, have failed.

55
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: Past and is more popular than ever, Corning less popular

56
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: than ever. I was advised of a poll that has

57
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: not been released, and I'm not going to say too

58
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 1: much more about this other than to say the number

59
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:28,719
Speaker 1: was sixty three Paxton, twenty seven Cornin. So I wanted

60
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 1: to ferret out who knew about it and has been

61
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:36,560
Speaker 1: avoiding it that were in the Corning camp and the

62
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: Cornin folks, the institutional folks. These are the folks that

63
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: held the fundraiser for Nicki Haley during the Republican primary

64
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,840
Speaker 1: last year to try to defeat Trump. This is the

65
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,160
Speaker 1: this is the Karl Rove and the Bush wing of

66
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 1: the Republicans in Texas, the establishment guys, and they haven't

67
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: had a good ass whipping, a real good Texas ass whipping.

68
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 1: Yet they weren't for Trump. They fought against Trump. They've

69
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 1: the Dade feeling thing was a real, real punch in

70
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: the face for them. They lost the Speaker's office, but

71
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:15,120
Speaker 1: they kept Burroughs, So it's okay. I'm gonna tell you,

72
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: this Corning thing has snuck up on them. They did

73
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: not realize how unpopular John Cornyn is among the Republican

74
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 1: primary base, and there are strategies being formulated right now

75
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: to try to coax Democrats, just as they did for

76
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,280
Speaker 1: Dad Feeling in his primary, Democrats to move over and

77
00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 1: vote for John Cornan in the primary, the message being

78
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: Paxton is so right wing that you'd rather have Corning

79
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 1: than Paxton. Now, they did it with a thousand votes

80
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 1: in Jefferson County, the state rep seat that is Jasper

81
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: Jefferson in Orange County, Jefferson being the biggest of those

82
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: three as a part of that state up district. They

83
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,920
Speaker 1: were able to get a thousand votes to go over.

84
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 1: Did they pay them? I don't know. I have suspicions.

85
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: You don't get a thousand Democrats who've never voted in

86
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: a Republican primary before to vote in a Republican primary

87
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: runoff with only one seat on the ballot. How does

88
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: that happen? But it did, giving him a three hundred

89
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: vote victory. In a runoff against a candidate, you know,

90
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: an upcoming, startup candidate. So it became one of those

91
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 1: things that they had to pull out everything. The lobbyists

92
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: were down, The lobbyists were in Beaumont standing out in

93
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: front of the polling places. They had to drive down

94
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 1: from Austin to stand in the streets that they'd never

95
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 1: been in and campaigned for Dad, feeling it was humiliated. Well,

96
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: they don't want Kim Paxton. This goes back well over

97
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 1: ten years. They had their candidate for the state Senate

98
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: and State Rep. Ken Paxton beat him. Paxton ran for

99
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: the speaker against the institution and exposed what was going

100
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: on which is exactly what's still going on with Burrows

101
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: and failing after before him and the big money guys

102
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: have hated Paxton ever since and he all he does

103
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 1: is keep winning. All he does is keep winning. And

104
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: they destroyed. They split the party last year with an

105
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 1: impeachment which they rolled through at the very end, really

106
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: really despicable thing, and a bunch of them, over over

107
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 1: ten of them lost their seats, didn't go back. Ernest

108
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: Beales running his mouth in Liberty that you know, we

109
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: were criticizing his vote for the impeachment. But he's still

110
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: the state rep. Not anymore, are you, Coliny Ridge, You're

111
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: not anymore. Well, there's Cornan who has never been a

112
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: supporter of Trump's initiatives, who has always been cutting deals

113
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: with Schumer and Mitch the Turtle McConnell. And at some

114
00:08:17,520 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 1: point this poll will be released. Cornn is in deep

115
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: doo doo. Expect the mud to start flying. It's coming. Oh.

116
00:08:25,040 --> 00:09:02,960
Speaker 9: I know what's the name you say, Michael Goddy?

Speaker 11: Go ahead, hug yo to track my wife smoking Hi.

141
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 11: If you don't think that's funny, I can't be your friend.

142
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:18,080
Speaker 1: Who she nailed it?

143
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:19,040

00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 10: Beer program.

147
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: It doesn't feel like there's enough of a fuss being

148
00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:35,440
Speaker 1: made for the life and now ascension of George Foreman.

149
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: This is not just a Houston story. I'm proud it

150
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: is a Houston story. But this is a story for

151
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: the nation. This is a story for humanity. You know,

152
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: Barack Obama was not the symbol that anybody could become president.

153
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 1: That was not the best symbol. He was chosen, he

154
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: was placed there. George Foreman is an inspiration to all

155
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:05,400
Speaker 1: of humanity. Whatever your struggle, and there's a struggle for

156
00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: everybody is I went back the other night and watched

157
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: our our first big interview, which I did by film

158
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,240
Speaker 1: at his house as the day he gave me George,

159
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:24,560
Speaker 1: and I just walked away from there inspired was I

160
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 1: wanted to be a better person because of what he

161
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: said and what those words meant, and how he's approached

162
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:33,640
Speaker 1: the world. I myself wanted to be a better person

163
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: and do more good and be an inspiration to others

164
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: in my own way. And yet I'm not seeing the

165
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: call to name things for him, to honor him. So

166
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: very impressive life, the very impressive life, including being the

167
00:11:53,520 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: patriarch of a very close knit, big family's. Yeah, I

168
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: hope that will be rectified soon. I hope that that

169
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 1: mantle will be carried. There was a movie made of

170
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 1: him about a year or two ago. That is it's

171
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:15,320
Speaker 1: pretty good. It's not I don't I would have There

172
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: are things I wish could have been done differently and

173
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 1: in my opinion, better, But it is a biopic. It

174
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,319
Speaker 1: is an understanding that this is a complete and thorough

175
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: life worthy of the big screen and with enough twists

176
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: and turns and unique details. This is not an everyday story.

177
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: You know, this guy pulls himself up from the streets,

178
00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 1: wins the Olympic gold, goes in, Down goes Fraser. I mean,

179
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 1: if you were to ask the five biggest golf, five

180
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 1: biggest boxing calls of all time, If that's not the biggest,

181
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: it's certainly top three. And you know he would knock

182
00:12:55,040 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: Fraser down. That first knockdown was shocking, but he would

183
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: knock him down four times. The fourth time Fraser can't

184
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,760
Speaker 1: get up. I went back and watched that fight a

185
00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 1: couple nights ago, and wow, you see he is rearing

186
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: back like Nolan Ryan for a fastball and he is

187
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 1: just knocking the snot out of Fraser. Hats off to

188
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: Fraser for taking the beating. Just wow, what he did.

189
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:30,280
Speaker 1: And then of course George Foreman goes on, he takes

190
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,360
Speaker 1: his lumps, has his difficulties in the ring, and we're

191
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 1: all going to be there, none of us are going

192
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,640
Speaker 1: to be physically what we were. And then at thirty

193
00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: eight he's I think he's three hundred and fifteen pounds

194
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 1: out of shape, old now and broke, and what does

195
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:50,640
Speaker 1: he do makes a comeback. There's a montage of all

196
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 1: the folks, general media, Morning shows, the pundits of pugilism,

197
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: all of them saying this is a joke, this is

198
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: making a mockery. Comes all the way back. He's the

199
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 1: champ again, unheard of, stays in the ring well into

200
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 1: his forties.

201
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 4: It really is.

202
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: It's an amazing, amazing human spirit story. What's that You

203
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: got a form of tribute that we made? Yeah, I

204
00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: hit it.

205
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 10: That's a hard thing to live with losing something like

206
00:14:30,880 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 10: the championship of the world.

207
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: I'd have to fight that fight most nights and I'd

208
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 1: be winning, winning, winning.

209
00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 3: Did I get knocked down and by the time I

210
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 3: jumped up, I will up out of the dream again.

211
00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: I could not win that fight, not even in my dream.

212
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: That fight.

213
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 11: Puting through a lot of soul searching days where he

214
00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 11: had to deal with making decisions on.

215
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:56,440
Speaker 1: Who he was.

216
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,920
Speaker 3: Fast forward to nineteen ninety four in the moment when

217
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 3: Michael Moore wins.

218
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: The heavyweight championship.

219
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:06,920
Speaker 3: Michael Moore is another fresh faced, brand new heavyweight champion.

220
00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 1: What does he want to do?

221
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 3: He wants to make money, so he does the same

222
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 3: thing that Holyfield did.

223
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,200
Speaker 1: Let's go straight to George. That's the way to get

224
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 1: the biggest audience.

225
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 3: And I'm sure that Moore, at age twenty six, unbeaten,

226
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 3: having just beaten Evander Holyfield, didn't really believe in his

227
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 3: heart that there was going to be that big a

228
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 3: challenge in fighting George flat Sun up on the top floor.

229
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 4: Mac, he's falling up.

230
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 11: The man.

231
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 12: Michael mor is working as though he's less.

232
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 1: Thank you, fall in class. The Brown were out come

233
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: there thin flad.

234
00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 4: Person, the World's fire, the old man.

235
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:49,400
Speaker 12: The old the old times, the old Dad.

236
00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 7: There's a way he's fad he made get off.

237
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 11: Maybe the movement.

238
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,560
Speaker 1: Play about to those way.

239
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 4: I don't believe that so close overacle, No one's but buckhol.

240
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 7: Working with teas aname.

241
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 1: Activate the Michael Verie Show, Oops, Steam Clean. Very interesting

242
00:16:36,600 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: things are happening within the Democratic Party nationally, particularly the

243
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 1: Senate and the House. There are forces at play. These

244
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: are not organic. AOC didn't just all of a sudden

245
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:55,320
Speaker 1: wake up as a congressman from a district in Brooklyn

246
00:16:55,440 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: and go on a nationwide tour with media appointments, appearances,

247
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: with media coverage. They're not able to generate a crowd yet.

248
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 1: But I did see that it's her and Bernie Sanders,

249
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 1: and I did see that a GPS you can now

250
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,320
Speaker 1: track these sorts of things you probably know through your

251
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 1: cell phone and many other things. Eventually you'll be chipped

252
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 1: like some damn dog, sooner rather than later, and many

253
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:31,000
Speaker 1: people will be delighted to have it happen. They've already

254
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,640
Speaker 1: given up every other aspect of their own personal identity.

255
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 1: Their whole life is a data breach, and they don't

256
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 1: care if it makes if something is slightly more convenient

257
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:46,119
Speaker 1: than here. Take my soul seems to be the big daddy,

258
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:50,360
Speaker 1: big data. Take the wheel seems to be the approach.

259
00:17:51,560 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 1: So they have done a GPS study on the people

260
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 1: showing up at the Bernie Sanders aoc rallies, and on

261
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 1: the occasions when they do have a crowd of say

262
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 1: five hundred people, they're able to pull cell phone data

263
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 1: and compare that by overlaying it with other cell phone data.

264
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: You won't believe this. It is exactly the same people Minneapolis,

265
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:25,760
Speaker 1: or Miami, Los Angeles or quit. Give me an East

266
00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 1: coast L city, Ramont, Baltimore's not an L. But you

267
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: know what it's going to have to do. You don't

268
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: have any city starting with L on the East coast?

269
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 1: What Lake Placid? Okay, yeah, that don't have to work.

270
00:18:40,440 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 1: So that means these people are being paid. This is

271
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: called astro turfy and them We know the Democrats have

272
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,159
Speaker 1: done this. We know they've paid people to show up

273
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 1: at crowds because because they need to give that to

274
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:52,240
Speaker 1: the media to show that they're they're generating a crowd

275
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: the progressive left under the direction of the Soros folks

276
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: and some brain power and some muscle, some logistical support.

277
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 1: This is not just a candidate saying I might run,

278
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 1: Let's see how it goes. They are mobilizing the forces.

279
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,280
Speaker 1: A candidate, just like you and me, only has so

280
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:17,400
Speaker 1: many hours per day. They can only make so many

281
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:20,640
Speaker 1: phone calls, It can only personally write so many checks.

282
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: It can only generate so many appearances, flights, media speeches, interviews.

283
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:32,440
Speaker 1: You have to have an entire team, and a single

284
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 1: congressman doesn't have that, And having not yet been a

285
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: presidential candidate, AOC wouldn't have the machinery for that. You

286
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: walk into the offices of a desantist running for president

287
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:48,000
Speaker 1: or Obama or bullsh or Cruz or anyone else, and

288
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: you realize there are a lot of phones being worked,

289
00:19:50,960 --> 00:19:54,560
Speaker 1: a lot of emails being sent, a lot of web

290
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 1: programming being undertaken. You can't do that out of a

291
00:19:58,720 --> 00:20:01,760
Speaker 1: congression office. Can't do it you don't have the you

292
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:06,600
Speaker 1: don't have the bandwidth for it. Well, this reflects the

293
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: fact that they are They smell blood in the water.

294
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:14,840
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi is just too drunk, too often, too old,

295
00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: too weak, too tired, and doesn't have the support she

296
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,800
Speaker 1: once did, and they're going after her, and they're going

297
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:27,919
Speaker 1: after Chuck Schumer, and they are exposing the ugly underbelly

298
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:33,800
Speaker 1: of the under confident Democrat elite. There is real concern.

299
00:20:34,840 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 1: Kim Jeffrey's job is to be the gatekeeper for the

300
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:44,320
Speaker 1: party to keep to keep the cattle wrangled, and he's

301
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 1: not able to do it. AOC now has a bigger

302
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: and more powerful profile than him, and it happened overnight.

303
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 1: And the only thing he had going for him was

304
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 1: he was black enough to hold the position. He's not

305
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: very smart, he's not very well spoken. He does not

306
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 1: have any charisma or charm. And never underestimate the power

307
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 1: of that. That's not the basis of Donald Trump's power,

308
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: but it helps. It's icing on the cake, to be sure,

309
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 1: it might be more than that remonent. It might be

310
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 1: icing on the cake and a little chocolate drizzle that

311
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 1: you know where they draw things on the exterior of

312
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:31,360
Speaker 1: the plate. What are we getting cake? No, it'll spike

313
00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 1: your blood sugar. I don't want to do that this morning.

314
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: But Kim Jeffries, the biggest failing is not Nancy Pelosi.

315
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: For the Democrats in their leadership, it's a Kim Jeffries.

316
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,919
Speaker 1: Jeffries can't keep this thing together. And in the Senate,

317
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer is desperate. You can see it, but I'm

318
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: also hearing it. He is absolutely desperate. Bernie Sanders is

319
00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:59,000
Speaker 1: not likely his replacement because he's not the consensus candidate

320
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: for the Democrats in the Senate. But you've got and

321
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 1: he's not up for reelection Schumer for four years. They

322
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 1: have to find someone emerge, and Sanders is not the guy.

323
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:16,320
Speaker 1: And Sanders would not be really a Senate Democrat leader anyway.

324
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: That that's not the kind of thing he does. He

325
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 1: gives a speech and then you know, goes off and

326
00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: lives in one of his many Vermont homes and the

327
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,200
Speaker 1: millions of dollars that he and his wife have drifted.

328
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 1: Today is opening day for your Houston Astros. Such a

329
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:34,239
Speaker 1: wonderful time of year will reign outside. But I think

330
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: they can figure that part out. It's I hear some

331
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: people complaining. Now, I don't like the idea of moving

332
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:44,680
Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame second basement out to the to

333
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: the outfield. I did that with Vigio and it wasn't

334
00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: I don't think it was fair to him. But I

335
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 1: hear people knocking Altuve, and I think to myself, have

336
00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: you no loyalty? Fifteen years, two championships. He's done everything

337
00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 1: we could have asked him to do. I mean, I

338
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,480
Speaker 1: don't want to elevate him to godlike stature, but let's

339
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:06,520
Speaker 1: show them in some respect.

340
00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 4: I'll tell they were the driver left me.

341
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 2: Come over, often called a little man, always had a

342
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 2: monster plan.

343
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 4: Many thought he.

344
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,119
Speaker 1: Couldn't ever do me.

345
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:33,360
Speaker 2: Grabbed his hat, he swung the back wall would fly

346
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 2: high in the sky, the crowd chanting up to be

347
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 2: He throws up, how to.

348
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 4: Oh see?

349
00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 8: How to.

350
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 1: Five field? Let me stop.

351
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 12: Si first pitch, swag on, drill deep to center field,

352
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 12: all the way back near the wall.

353
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 4: It is up the rack.

354
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:22,200
Speaker 12: Patter to yes, it's gonna store. Tell me peg is

355
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 12: gonna store. I'm saying out is gonna get the third absence,

356
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,400
Speaker 12: retake the lane. It is five to four out two bay.

357
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 12: What's too rmy on trouble.

358
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:48,879
Speaker 4: Makes way for posting out two bay who say how.

359
00:24:54,280 --> 00:25:01,720
Speaker 1: Or to Lena, wait a minute, you've got Kirpop was

360
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:07,040
Speaker 1: a bad dude the Michael Berry Show. You don't even

361
00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: need to be in the market for a custom handmade.

362
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 2: The issue.

363
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: Hi agency people who jump in, fixed problems, solve problems,

364
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: refuse to be told no, cannot be deterred. That person

365
00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 1: you call if you are wrongfully or maybe even rightfully,

366
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:25,639
Speaker 1: thrown in a third world jail and want to get

367
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 1: out fast, that's the person of high agency. That's the

368
00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 1: Elon Musk, That's the Tillman for Tita, that's the Donald Trump.

369
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: You want to be that person. And the skills that

370
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 1: the person has that you call are what we want

371
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,360
Speaker 1: to emulate, what we want to teach, what we want

372
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:45,560
Speaker 1: to inspire. Jessica Ewing wrote yesterday CSAR, I think a

373
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 1: lot of successful small business owners have high agency. My

374
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 1: husband started his steel service business from the ground up,

375
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:56,639
Speaker 1: literally taught himself everything but all his machines used, learned

376
00:25:56,720 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 1: every single one. He's survived in the economic down turns

377
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 1: that devastated the bigger company's doing exactly what he did

378
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 1: because he was willing to do what they would not

379
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:07,960
Speaker 1: and willing to say the things they wouldn't to the

380
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 1: people they were afraid to say them to. He takes

381
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:15,639
Speaker 1: risks in his business that seem insane and intuitive at

382
00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 1: the same time. People think he's a jerk, and he

383
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 1: kind of is. But he'd give his shirt office back

384
00:26:21,840 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: until and unless he feels that it's not serving you.

385
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: He's very aggressive, opinionated, has a loud voice, of dry

386
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,400
Speaker 1: sense of humor, and he absolutely hurts people's feelings all

387
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: day long. But he is who I call for anything anytime.

388
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 1: It took a long time for me to adjust to

389
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: his personality and we still get crossways sometimes. But on

390
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 1: April fifth, we'll celebrate our twenty second wedding anniversary. The

391
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 1: world needs high agency people, and I'm so thankful to

392
00:26:47,480 --> 00:26:51,679
Speaker 1: be married to one. The next time somebody tells you something,

393
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,320
Speaker 1: when you ask them a question that you don't like,

394
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 1: you should take a moment from your nat reactions, a

395
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:08,560
Speaker 1: human reaction of being defensive. You should take a moment

396
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: and thank them. So many times I've gotten out of

397
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,159
Speaker 1: the advice business for nine to nine percent of the cases.

398
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 1: So many times people will ask me for advice, and

399
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,640
Speaker 1: I say I don't want to give you advice, You're

400
00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:22,920
Speaker 1: not going to take it, and your feelings WI get hurt. No,

401
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: please tell me I'm helpless, and so I do, and

402
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: I will tell them. You're being a big titty baby.

403
00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 1: You're being weak, you're being pathetic, you're being sad. Your

404
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: business partner's pushing you around. You don't work as hard

405
00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:43,560
Speaker 1: as you think you do. You spend way too much money.

406
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: You drunk most of the time. You don't spend any

407
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 1: time at the office. You've not built a good culture. Oh,

408
00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,320
Speaker 1: I've got people spend there a long time. Tell me

409
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:57,600
Speaker 1: who your top person is. Travis, I've met Travis. Travis

410
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: is a loser. He's not a decision man. Every time

411
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: I go in there are customers waiting to be helped,

412
00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 1: and he's playing Solitaire on his computer. He doesn't have

413
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 1: a sense of ownership. He doesn't strike me as a

414
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 1: guy that if tomorrow you went into a coma for

415
00:28:12,480 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 1: three months, you wouldn't have to worry when you came

416
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:17,400
Speaker 1: out because he kept the business running. He's there, he's

417
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 1: got the keys, he can lock up when he leaves.

418
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: But he's not the guy. Well it's hard to get No,

419
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 1: it's not hard to get good people. It's not hard

420
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,679
Speaker 1: to get good people. It's hard for you because you're lazy.

421
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,360
Speaker 1: You don't want to go get good people. You don't

422
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: want to pay them. Well, it's expensive, all right. It's

423
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,959
Speaker 1: also expensive to lose customers. It's also expensive to try

424
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: to get them back. It's also expensive to keep fixing mistakes.

425
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,480
Speaker 1: Because your guys keep going out to the houses you're

426
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 1: called to perform a repair and they can't do it right.

427
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: It's reputational risk for you and me. People don't want

428
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:57,040
Speaker 1: to hear that. They didn't want to hear it because

429
00:28:57,040 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 1: they've fallen into a pretty good system. It's pretty good,

430
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: simply not perfect. It was pretty good and Travis shows up.

431
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 1: At least Travis hadn't quit. We'll keep Travis. Travis's the

432
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:07,840
Speaker 1: mad up name. I'm gonna end up with eighty five

433
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:09,520
Speaker 1: shows mons or somebody's got a Travis in their shop.

434
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: I assure you it's not you. I don't think I'm

435
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,719
Speaker 1: somehow passive aggressive. If I wanted to call your name,

436
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 1: i'd call your name. But people rarely say wow, thank

437
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 1: you for taking the time to be honest. I asked

438
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: for your honest opinion.

439
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 12: So what do I do?

440
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 2: Man?

441
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 1: I think you got it all figured out, and like

442
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,960
Speaker 1: I said, you're doing great. Really it means a lot.

443
00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: It shouldn't because it doesn't mean a lot to me.

444
00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:36,960
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean a lot to me. It means I

445
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 1: don't feel like arguing with people who don't really want

446
00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: good advice. If you want real tutelage, you're gonna have

447
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 1: to hear some things that make you uncomfortable. And building

448
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:53,480
Speaker 1: a team, building a culture, saving money even when you're

449
00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: making it. Those are tough things to do. Solving a problem.

450
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: When there's two types of businesses, there's the business that

451
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 1: you're trying to sell people something they don't already have,

452
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 1: so you have to convince them why they need it.

453
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: That's one challenge. There may be zero or very little

454
00:30:14,600 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: market share to be had because nobody's doing it yet. Hey,

455
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: that's a challenge. Then there's the flip of that, well,

456
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 1: that business is already saturated. Why is it saturated? Well,

457
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 1: everybody's in it. Why is everybody in it? Why was

458
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: everybody opening a vape shop ten years ago? Because high

459
00:30:32,080 --> 00:30:35,160
Speaker 1: school kids were ripping vapes all day long, paying good money.

460
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: It was a high profit margin. You could get into

461
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 1: the business with no barrier to entry. You didn't need

462
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: any particular licenses. I mean I must have been a

463
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: basic license. Why is there beer served on every street

464
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:50,560
Speaker 1: corner because people buy a lot of beer? Why are they?

465
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 11: Why?

466
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 1: Why is there a woman's boutique purse shop on every

467
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: other corner. We can't get into that market saturated. Well,

468
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:00,719
Speaker 1: the reason there's one on every corner because women buy

469
00:31:00,720 --> 00:31:03,040
Speaker 1: a lot of these stupid bags, and they make the

470
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 1: bags in China for twenty dollars and sell them for

471
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,560
Speaker 1: two thousand. Your challenge is to make your bag some

472
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 1: name that, for whatever reason, is what Prada used to be,

473
00:31:12,560 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: or Louis Vautan or fill in the blank. You have

474
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: to build a brand where there's so many brands out there.

475
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 1: You're a loser. Don't ask my advice ever again, because

476
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:23,880
Speaker 1: you don't want it. You want to tell me all

477
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 1: the reasons you don't succeed. Trump can't win. He's never

478
00:31:28,720 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 1: run for office before, he's never held office before. He

479
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:36,200
Speaker 1: doesn't have a structure, he didn't have the people. Jeb

480
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 1: Bush's got all the money, Ted Cruz got all the organization,

481
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: there's seventeen people running. Every one of them has a

482
00:31:43,240 --> 00:31:46,479
Speaker 1: bigger organization across the country. Trump's never been to Iowa.

483
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: If you're a prevailer, if you're a winner, if you're

484
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: a doer, if you're a high agency, you assess risk

485
00:31:56,240 --> 00:32:01,040
Speaker 1: and then you go in fearlessly. That's a small business owner.

486
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,920
Speaker 1: Next time you walk in someplace and service is imperfect,

487
00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: help them make it better. Person at the front desk,

488
00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 1: clearly not very helpful, Clearly not an owner, no sense

489
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: of ownership, no pride. Go to the website and send

490
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 1: an email saying, hey, can I talk to the owner?

491
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 1: Get on the phone, keep your calm, don't be a fool. Hey,

492
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,440
Speaker 1: just let you know I'm not mad. I'm just giving

493
00:32:28,440 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 1: you some advice. Give a wonderful place. It's two blocks

494
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: from my house, it's all my way to work. I

495
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 1: could drop my dry cleaning off here once a week,

496
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: and i'd like to. And you're an owner operated small

497
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: business in the neighborhood. I'd like for you to succeed.

498
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: I'm just going to tell you I had an experience

499
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 1: this morning that suggests to me, y'all don't align with

500
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:50,520
Speaker 1: my values. So my question is do you think y'all

501
00:32:50,600 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: might because I'm giving you some good advice on how

502
00:32:53,840 --> 00:32:57,200
Speaker 1: to succeed. You tell him his shop is crap. He's

503
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 1: going to argue, you know, it's not. I've worked hard,

504
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 1: it's my shop. Get away, go go away. I don't

505
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,640
Speaker 1: like you. Hey, I'd like to come back and try

506
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,120
Speaker 1: it again. And I'd like to know if that is

507
00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: of interest to you. And this is what I would

508
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: expect when I walk in the door of Hello, not

509
00:33:11,840 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 1: the employee to be giggling on her phone with her

510
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,040
Speaker 1: back to me for ten minutes because she's going out

511
00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: with a boyfriend tonight. She's the only one in the shop.

512
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: That's high agency, that is taking the bull by the horns.

513
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 1: That's a small business owner. Most people show up at

514
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: a company, everything's already taken care of. Sign these documents.

515
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 1: Move over here, here's your keys. Sit over here, perform

516
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:34,800
Speaker 1: this report. This is when you get in, this is

517
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 1: when you leave. These are your benefits. This is the

518
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: phone calls you make, this is the meetings you sit in,

519
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:40,640
Speaker 1: and more meetings you sit in. The more meetings you

520
00:33:40,680 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: sit in, the more meeting you sit in. Because sitting

521
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,280
Speaker 1: in meetings looks like work. If you don't know any better.

522
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 1: What about that guy that has to make all those decisions,
