1
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: It's that time.

2
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 2: Time, time, time, luck and load.

3
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: The Michael Arry Show is on the air.

4
00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 2: Dansh de Sis that came to national attention in this

5
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:56,880
Speaker 2: country when he made a movie about the evil.

6
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: That was going on in this country and he told

7
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 1: a story in a narrative style that.

8
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 2: Folks went to the movie theater in a way that

9
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,319
Speaker 2: you might pick up a book to learn. It was

10
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 2: advocacy in the form of storytelling through vivid pictures and

11
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 2: a narrative style that I don't think we had seen before.

12
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 2: I was proud to be associated with that.

13
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 1: It broke. It broke the record. At the time.

14
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 2: The opening weekend, it was the top rated movie in

15
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 2: the country. Lionscape picked it up. It is not an

16
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 2: exaggeration to say that it made the distributors of movies,

17
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 2: the people that determine whether a movie, once made, is

18
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 2: going to be seen by you or not, or whether.

19
00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 1: You're going to be exposed to it and choose the Igorna.

20
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 2: That movie changed everything and everything that came after it

21
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 2: is derivative of it, and not just the series of

22
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 2: films that Denish de Suza has made, but a number

23
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 2: of other films that you know of. None of that

24
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 2: would have happened. The distributors wouldn't have touched it. The

25
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 2: big houses wouldn't have touched him. They realized there was.

26
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: A massive market here.

27
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 2: It also inspired a lot of people to use film

28
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 2: as their storytelling medium, and it's been very powerful. And

29
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 2: DeNisi de Susa did all that. That's not to say

30
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 2: that Denish de Susa woke up the day before that

31
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 2: and arrived on the scene. He was a long standing

32
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 2: He used to debate Christopher Hitchins. He used to be

33
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 2: a university president.

34
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 1: He had written a number of books.

35
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: But he had been a person much like say Mark

36
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 2: Levin before Mark Levin began doing The Mark Levin Show,

37
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 2: who was making a difference, but to a very narrow audience.

38
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 2: And then he went mainstream. And I think to our advantage.

39
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 2: He to our benefit. He has a new movie out

40
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 2: and the timing couldn't have been more perfect.

41
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: That's not accidentally.

42
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 2: He's very strategic thinker, and it's called vindicating Trump.

43
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 1: Here's a trader for that. Somebody has to help this country,

44
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,520
Speaker 1: and if they don't, the country and the world are

45
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: in big trouble.

46
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 2: Someone's got to overturn the tables in the temple Trump

47
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 2: jumping into the presidential race.

48
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 3: She's a bit worried of the apprentice guy, you know,

49
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 3: to fill in the power?

50
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: Could you handle it? Of wood at the vowel power?

51
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: They fear that power.

52
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 3: You didn't do an insurrection.

53
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: Had you called for one, there.

54
00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 3: Would have been one, and there would be one if

55
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 3: you called for one.

56
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: Now I'm not sure I want that power.

57
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 3: I want the power just to make the country better

58
00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 3: way America first, and that scares them a lot about

59
00:03:58,640 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 3: Donald Trump scares them.

60
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 2: Let's look at everything campaign is family.

61
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: Let's get foreign eyes on him. If we have one target,

62
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: you know who he is.

63
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 3: Going after, their companies, their families. That is a dictator at.

64
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: A very dangerous time for a country.

65
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 2: The goal is to put him in jail because they're

66
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 2: so afraid of his voice.

67
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: I am your very I'm so deep and legal. He'll bankrupt.

68
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: Bro got him in jail right before the election. That's

69
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:28,480
Speaker 1: hard for being that guy. But isn't that election interference?

70
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: It's not interference if we do it.

71
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 2: We just want a free and fair election.

72
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 3: Sounds expensive ballots, saint cheap? Wait wait, wait, did you

73
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 3: actually say the word buy the ballots?

74
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 2: We were able to purchase ten thousand ballots. That's terrifying.

75
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: They cheated in many different ways. That's all they're good at.

76
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: Save democracy. We need to stop him permanently. Then that

77
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: person will be risking his life. That is not the sixties, right,

78
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 1: it's the way you survived. Must get me.

79
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 3: Trump has beaten back every attack against him. It's like

80
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 3: a tourney.

81
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 2: We're going to fix our borders and we're going to

82
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 2: fix our elections.

83
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: We're going to win my.

84
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 3: Legacy syndicating Trump the best is yet to come to.

85
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: Nih DeSUS is our guest. Welcome.

86
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 3: Thank you. I'm very excited about this movie, and like

87
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 3: you say, it's it's coming at a time when people

88
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 3: are making up their minds.

89
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 2: First of all, what was the moment where you said

90
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 2: I have to make this movie. What was that moment

91
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,239
Speaker 2: where you said, you know, this is something i'm watching

92
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 2: that I don't like, that needs to be fixed or

93
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,239
Speaker 2: that needs to be told.

94
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 3: Well, I think it started with a bunch of comments

95
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 3: that I would hear from people on the Republican side.

96
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 3: And I don't just mean the never trump ers. I

97
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 3: mean the people who say things like this. You know,

98
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,839
Speaker 3: I don't really like Trump but you know, I like

99
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 3: his policies, or I just wish he would shut his mouth,

100
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 3: or in other words, there's a campaign sort of to

101
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 3: remake Trump, to rehabilitate him, to fix him. And I

102
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 3: got the idea that, you know what, we don't actually

103
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 3: need to remake Trump. We need to remake our understanding

104
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 3: of Trump. Why because for this moment in the country,

105
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 3: for this time, he's the right guy, and his peculiar

106
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 3: qualities are adapted and suited to what we need now.

107
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that he'd be the best candidate for

108
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 3: every time in American history, but I think for now

109
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 3: he is not only the best guy, he's in a

110
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 3: way kind of the only guy.

111
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 2: Radio is not very good for the audience when the

112
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 2: host stops to process something, and I find myself often

113
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 2: doing that.

114
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 3: Say that again, Well, let me say it a slightly

115
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 3: different way. Imagine if somebody were to go to Abraham

116
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 3: Lincoln and say, we don't like this General Grant. He's lazy,

117
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 3: he bankrupted his family's store, he curses even at his wife.

118
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 3: He's a philanderer, he's a drunk, you know, pull him

119
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 3: off the battlefield. Lincoln would say, are you insane? We're

120
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 3: in a civil war. This is the best guy who

121
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 3: knows how to fight. We're a team that actually hasn't

122
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 3: been fighting all that well until now. So this is

123
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 3: kind of my point about Trump. The supreme virtue that's

124
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 3: required in politics right now on our side is courage.

125
00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 3: This guy has it like nobody else. And I don't

126
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 3: just mean his reaction to the assassination attempts. Look at

127
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 3: the way he handles ninety one criminal charges. Any other

128
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 3: Republicans facing three criminal charges would have long exited the race,

129
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 3: fled from the field, and we would never hear from

130
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 3: that person again. So Trump not only endures, he prevails.

131
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 3: I mean he deflects, he dodges, He's rope adope somehow,

132
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 3: they they think they've got him, but they never really

133
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 3: got him. And so what I'm getting at is that

134
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 3: we need somebody of that caliber. Now. He's in a

135
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 3: sense a kind of a wartime general, so to speak,

136
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 3: and he's very well suited to it. He even kind

137
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 3: of enjoys it.

138
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 2: And isn't that, in many ways a part of the

139
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:30,360
Speaker 2: overall appeal for a people who have felt beaten down, forgotten, canceled, harassed.

140
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 1: The entirety of it, and here is.

141
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 2: A guy who stands up to it very publicly, and

142
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 2: it's like he's taking the slings and arrows that we

143
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 2: feel in our private lives.

144
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,360
Speaker 1: Denesh Desusa is our guest. We'll talk about his.

145
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 2: Film Vindicating Trump where you can see it, when you

146
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 2: can see it, why he made it, and more coming out.

147
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 1: An undocumented immigrant is not a criminals to Michael very Show,

148
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: we have to correct course in this conversation.

149
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 2: Deniesha Susa is our guest. The movie is vindicating Trump. Denisha,

150
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 2: I want to dig a little deeper here, and I'll

151
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 2: give you some time to answer these, but when you

152
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,319
Speaker 2: foresee what's going to happen in the coming weeks, You've

153
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 2: been around this a long time. You've been arguing ideas

154
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 2: as much as the nuts and bolts and x'es and o's.

155
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 2: Where do you think the American people are? Not the

156
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 2: people who joined me and you at your film debut

157
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 2: of the Trump film at mar Lago a few years ago.

158
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:41,520
Speaker 2: Not the people marching for Hamas or marching for Kamala.

159
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 2: I mean Middle America that's not particularly political.

160
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 1: Where do you think they are right now?

161
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 3: I think Middle America is nervous a little frightened and

162
00:09:54,280 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 3: quite honestly looking for a real change. And what we

163
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 3: are seeing is a cultivated orchestrated campaign to I would

164
00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 3: call it a campaign of fact creation. And the fact

165
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,960
Speaker 3: here is Kamala Harris. So what they're trying to do

166
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 3: is what the Left is actually brilliant at doing. See,

167
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 3: you and I believe in truth. We believe that there's

168
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 3: a reality out there. They believe the truth is something

169
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 3: that you create, that you devise, that you manufacture, and

170
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 3: so they're trying to manufacture a kind of new and

171
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 3: different and improved Kamala Harris. And of course the election

172
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 3: becomes almost a test to see if the American people

173
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 3: are smart enough and can see through this illusion. Now

174
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 3: I think the American people are pretty smart. And the

175
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 3: reason I think that is because, well, just take a movie,

176
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,719
Speaker 3: the ordinary American sitting in a movie theater, and you've

177
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 3: got some kind of a complex who done it? And

178
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 3: the obvious suspect is not the real guy. But notice

179
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:05,960
Speaker 3: how shrewd people aren't being able to pick up little

180
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 3: details that point to who the real bad guys are.

181
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 3: They're pretty good at doing that. They're not actually dumb.

182
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 3: They can see through a sham, And so I think

183
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:18,560
Speaker 3: this is really a sort of a test as to

184
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 3: whether or not an orchestrated media campaign can give us

185
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 3: this kind of invented Kamala Harris as opposed to the

186
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 3: real Kamala Harris, because I think if we had a

187
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 3: fair media in this country, Trump would win sixty forty

188
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 3: or even sixty five thirty five.

189
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 2: I think you're absolutely right, Densh. I think you're absolutely

190
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:44,920
Speaker 2: right when you look at reasons people might not vote

191
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 2: for Trump, that it would be in their best interest

192
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 2: to vote for Trump, and how that could be changed.

193
00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 1: What do you see?

194
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 3: Well, remember that, Well this isn't one of the opening

195
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 3: scenes of the movie, and it's the iconic scene of

196
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 3: Trump coming down the escalator. And I've thought about that

197
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 3: scene a little bit because to me, the keyword here

198
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 3: is down. See here's Trump. And he was a cultural celebrity.

199
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 3: He was in with Oprah and Ellen and Larry King

200
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 3: and all the other cool cats, and then he made

201
00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 3: that faithful decision. It wasn't just that he ran for president.

202
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 3: It wasn't just that he was a Republican, but it

203
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 3: was that he was sort of descending away from that

204
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 3: elite class and sort of joining hands with the ordinary American.

205
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 3: Now a lot of ordinary Americans got that. They became

206
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 3: grateful and attached to Trump because of that. That's why

207
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,360
Speaker 3: they won't give up on him. On the other hand,

208
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 3: it also helps to explain how the elites who were

209
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 3: previously his friends then came to despise and hate him

210
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,079
Speaker 3: because they saw him as a trader to their class,

211
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 3: to their camp, to their group. Here's a guy who

212
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 3: was one of them, and then he joined with the

213
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 3: pitchfork people against them, and they'll never forgive him for

214
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:00,360
Speaker 3: doing that.

215
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: That interesting, you know.

216
00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 2: You see the people that haven't forgotten him, the herschel

217
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 2: Walkers and the Mike Tyson's and people that go way back,

218
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 2: and they say, listen, I know Donald Trump. Don't tell

219
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 2: me who he is or isn't I know him. I've

220
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,400
Speaker 2: been there with him. But for all these people who

221
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 2: knew him over the years, the al Sharptons, the Jesse Jackson's,

222
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 2: Whoopie Goldbergs, you know, these folks, the Bette Midlers, who

223
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 2: watched him contribute to causes, do good things. They went

224
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 2: to his parties, and now all of a sudden they

225
00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 2: want to tell us he's the devil. They know that's

226
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 2: not true, and it says more about them than it

227
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 2: does him, doesn't it.

228
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 3: It totally does. And also, look at all the people

229
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 3: who criticize Trump's character, you know, and they they'll say, well,

230
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 3: you know, he's he's a liar, he's a playboy, he's

231
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 3: you know, he's this guy is so he's got a

232
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,199
Speaker 3: massive ego. And my point is, all right, number one,

233
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 3: let's look at those ill me Trump used to be

234
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,160
Speaker 3: a playboy. Are you saying he's a playboy? Now? No,

235
00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 3: No one says that he's so the best you got

236
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 3: on him? If he's a reformed playboy, not the worst

237
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 3: thing to be in the world. Okay, he's he's got

238
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 3: a massive ego. Well, guess what if you are facing

239
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 3: NonStop vicious attacks on every platform, every minute of every day,

240
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 3: wouldn't you need some kind of an ego as a protection,

241
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 3: as your own personal wall. Otherwise you're just gonna crumble

242
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 3: as a human being. No normal person can withstand that

243
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 3: kind of fury. So in a weird way, I think

244
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 3: even some of Trump's vices, and they are vices, are

245
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,440
Speaker 3: also at the same time political virtues. And finally, let's

246
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:45,520
Speaker 3: look at Trump's virtues. He's magnanimous, he's very kind to

247
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 3: ordinary people. The guys who work as dorman in his

248
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 3: hotels and catering love the guy. You'll never get one

249
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 3: of them to say a bad word about him. He

250
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 3: looks after his family and they're dedicated and even devoted

251
00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 3: to him. And most of all, he has the supreme

252
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 3: virtue of courage. So that's part of what I try

253
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,120
Speaker 3: to do in this film is bring out Trump. The

254
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 3: centerpiece of the film is a one on one with Trump,

255
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 3: and I try to bring out some private aspects of

256
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 3: the man that I've seen over the years, but the

257
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 3: Trump himself conceals from the public. And so bringing that

258
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 3: out in a natural way in a conversation, I think

259
00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:24,240
Speaker 3: is the real accomplishment of this conversation with Trump.

260
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 2: I think you're right, Dan Aan, one of our listeners,

261
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 2: very informed, very committed to fixing this country. He says, Michael,

262
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 2: can you ask Denash about two thousand mules and why

263
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 2: our government will not prosecute the fraud, the work of

264
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 2: true the vote, the work of two thousand mules, all

265
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 2: the things that have been learned in Arizona, in Georgia,

266
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 2: in Pennsylvania about the fraud.

267
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: How can we get this prosecuted.

268
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 3: So the short answer is this, the fraud that was

269
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 3: documented in the film focused on a lot of Democratic areas,

270
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 3: Fulton County in Georgia, Maricopa County, which is nominally Republican,

271
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 3: but also Detroit Democratic Philadelphia. So the point is that

272
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 3: the Democrats in charge there were obviously not eager to

273
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,000
Speaker 3: start quote looking into it.

274
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: So it was up to.

275
00:16:21,480 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 3: Republicans, the Republican establishment in Georgia, for example, Governor Kemp,

276
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 3: or the Republicans in Arizona, or Republicans around the country

277
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 3: to scream and demand that somebody interview the mules. Maybe

278
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 3: the mules have a great explanation for why they're there

279
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 3: with backpacks in the middle of the night, putting ballots

280
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 3: one after the other. Maybe there's some explanation, Well what

281
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 3: is it? But the point is the Republicans kind of

282
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 3: failed us because the Republicans were scared of being called

283
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 3: election deniers. There are a few radioactive topics for mainstream Republicans.

284
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 3: One of them is January sixth, certainly one of them

285
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,120
Speaker 3: is the so called stolen election, and so they run.

286
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 3: There's a senator who we're close to and we're like, hey,

287
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 3: come to our media room. We're we're going to play

288
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,399
Speaker 3: two Thousand Mules. And the guy just never replied. And

289
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,399
Speaker 3: I was thinking to myself, this is somebody I know,

290
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,320
Speaker 3: why would he not reply? And then I figured it out.

291
00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 3: He doesn't want to see the movie. And the reason

292
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 3: he doesn't want to see the movie is not because

293
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 3: it's false. He fears it's true. But if it's true

294
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 3: and he sees it, he's going to have to do

295
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 3: something about it, but he doesn't want to do anything

296
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,919
Speaker 3: about it. Therefore he doesn't want to see the movie.

297
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:35,679
Speaker 3: So this psychology is the core reason why two Thousand Mules,

298
00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 3: which sort of needed a next step and the next

299
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:41,199
Speaker 3: step and the next step, and those steps were not forthcoming.

300
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 2: Nick Sercy was hanging out at my house. He said

301
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 2: he had come in early. He was going to be

302
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 2: filming the next day, and y'all were filming at a beautiful,

303
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 2: big home in Houston, and he said, you want to

304
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,400
Speaker 2: drive over and see the house and see the set,

305
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,439
Speaker 2: and I did, and you were coming out as we

306
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 2: were going in.

307
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 1: Is that what y'all were filming?

308
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 3: You know? I I'm thinking back, it might have been

309
00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 3: actually my last film, Police State now.

310
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: No, yeah, that was.

311
00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah. But he's also in you know, he also

312
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:14,199
Speaker 3: plays the sort of director of the intelligence agents.

313
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 2: He's our guest coming up, Maxlmore, Danesh Desusa.

314
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 1: Thank you for the great work. The movie is Vindicating Trump.

315
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 2: It'll be out September twenty seventh, Go see it. I

316
00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:31,879
Speaker 2: just say more woke, the less woke, call still living.

317
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,320
Speaker 1: Nothing like the call still Living.

318
00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 2: Jamie Johnston be there. Lyndon Johnson used to tell him

319
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 2: old joke. When I was young and studying politicians and

320
00:18:54,920 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 2: speeches and campaigns and all those things. At the University

321
00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:04,359
Speaker 2: of Texas, at the LBJ Presidential Library, there was a

322
00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 2: cassette tape called The Humor of LBJ, and I bought

323
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 2: that tape and I listened to that tape over and

324
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:17,439
Speaker 2: over and over again. And there were great stories that

325
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 2: LBJ told in speeches after he left the White House,

326
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:25,920
Speaker 2: and some of them were about Daryl k Royle, who

327
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 2: was a dear friend of his. And when I got

328
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 2: to meet Coach Royal at President Bush's inauguration in January

329
00:19:33,520 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 2: of two thousand and one, I started quoting one of

330
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 2: the speeches and he said how do you know that?

331
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 2: I said, Oh, I listened to LBJ speeches. He had

332
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 2: a bunch of them, a bunch of anecdotes about you

333
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 2: really like what? And I was three or four stories

334
00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 2: into it when Aikman, Staubach, Tony Dorsett had all surrounded

335
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,639
Speaker 2: us and my wife. You've heard me tell the story,

336
00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 2: so I forgive me if you've heard it ten times.

337
00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 1: But my wife said, I don't know who that old

338
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:02,840
Speaker 1: man was you were talking to. But there was some

339
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: important people standing around. Well. That was coach Dell Okay Royle,

340
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: whose wife just passed recently.

341
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 2: For those of you who've kept up with the royal

342
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:20,880
Speaker 2: family over all those years, he told a story about

343
00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,840
Speaker 2: an old judge who's coming into the courtroom one day

344
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 2: and out in front of the courthouse there's a there's

345
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:36,680
Speaker 2: a there's a bum, and the bum says, judge, can

346
00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 2: you give me a quarter for a cup of coffee?

347
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 2: And the judge said, shame on you. You're not gonna

348
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 2: spend it on a cup of coffee. You're gonna go

349
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:48,640
Speaker 2: buy some cheap liquor and get drunk. Now, if you'd

350
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,399
Speaker 2: said to me, judge, can you give me a quarter,

351
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 2: I'm hungover and I need a little.

352
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 1: Hair of the dog to get through the morning.

353
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,560
Speaker 2: I'd probably give you a dollar, and the bum said, Judge,

354
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 2: you've been there, hadn't you. You know, for people who

355
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 2: have seen the depths of despair, whatever that is, you

356
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 2: know that you never forget that feeling. I don't want

357
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:13,760
Speaker 2: to say I have enjoyed because I don't want to

358
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 2: minimize it.

359
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 3: But I.

360
00:21:16,840 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 2: Don't have a good word for it. But thank you

361
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:21,520
Speaker 2: for those of you who have shared your stories of

362
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 2: addiction this morning. I knowe with me in writing. I

363
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 2: know that's not an easy thing to do, but for

364
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 2: some of you it's cathartic to tell it and remind

365
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 2: yourself and remind yourself, and we all have to do

366
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 2: this that on your worst day, you're still here and

367
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:40,800
Speaker 2: you're better than.

368
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: You could have been.

369
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 2: Maybe not as good as you could be, but better

370
00:21:44,080 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 2: than you could have been. You've made some good decisions,

371
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:51,919
Speaker 2: You've done some good things. Beverly writes Zar, I'm a

372
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 2: recovering drug addict. I used opiates for over twelve years,

373
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 2: which started with prescriptions from a dentist after a root canal,

374
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 2: But there was a period of time that I was

375
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 2: using cocaine after being introduced to it at a narcotic

376
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 2: synonymous meeting I was forced to go to when I

377
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:10,360
Speaker 2: was on probation. I'm an addict of most anything. If

378
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,199
Speaker 2: it changed the way I felt, I'd do it. I

379
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 2: tried cocaine and I was shooting it in less than

380
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,679
Speaker 2: a year. I'm a true addict food, sex, drugs. It

381
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 2: doesn't matter anyway. You asked how it makes you feel.

382
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,199
Speaker 2: I'm too chicken to call. But it just makes you

383
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 2: feel amazing, invincible, brave, confident, war them all over. A

384
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,520
Speaker 2: true addict won't be a functional coke addict for very long.

385
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 2: I was working as the office manager for a local

386
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,240
Speaker 2: attorney when I started, but ended up without a job,

387
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:42,119
Speaker 2: a car, anything. It's a progressive disease. I was a

388
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 2: functional addict on opiates though, as long as they didn't

389
00:22:45,040 --> 00:22:49,880
Speaker 2: run out, but of course they always do anyway. After

390
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 2: getting sent to rehab for nine months versus going to

391
00:22:52,200 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 2: jail for three years, I got clean on April second,

392
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,679
Speaker 2: two thousand and six. That was the day I had

393
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 2: to turn myself in at the jail wait for a

394
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 2: bed at the rehab in Corpus CHRISTI. After that, I

395
00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 2: went back to college. I got my degree, and I've

396
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 2: been cleaned for about sixteen years. I'm a veteran of

397
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 2: the Army National Guard, a physical therapist assistant, and a

398
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,000
Speaker 2: mother of two. There but for the grace of God,

399
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:17,040
Speaker 2: go aye.

400
00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:20,000
Speaker 1: I love that story.

401
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 2: I'm a lot less judgmental than I was when I

402
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 2: was a younger man. When I was a younger man,

403
00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 2: I would look at that person for all the sins

404
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 2: of their past, And at fifty three, I say, there

405
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 2: is a brave, strong, accomplished person. Good for you.

406
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: You have climbed a mountain.

407
00:23:57,720 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 2: When it comes to be a colony, do you believe

408
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 2: America are better off than they were four years ago?

409
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:03,360
Speaker 2: Michael Barry, So.

410
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 3: I was raised as a middle class kid.

411
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:11,919
Speaker 2: All right, finish line, let's finish this thing. I just

412
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 2: pull these numbers out of my head. I thought it'd

413
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,920
Speaker 2: be nice to raise ten thousand for Officer Durfy who

414
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,280
Speaker 2: was shot the other day, for him and his wife

415
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:21,160
Speaker 2: and his three young kids. So I started at twenty

416
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,760
Speaker 2: five hundred, and at ten thirty we were at another

417
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 2: twenty five hundred, at twenty five dollars and fifty dollars

418
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 2: and one hundred dollars and two hundred dollars that you

419
00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 2: have been sending, which.

420
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 1: Got us to five thousand.

421
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 2: I got a message from the Texas Association of First

422
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,640
Speaker 2: Responders from Tim Butler, who is the vice president there.

423
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 2: He's also an officer with the Houston Police Department in

424
00:24:48,840 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 2: the Major Offenders Division, and the Texas Association of First

425
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 2: Responders raises money for police officers injured in the line

426
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,160
Speaker 2: of duty. And he said, we would like to help

427
00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 2: you get to your ten thousand dollar number. And so

428
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 2: we're matching your twenty five hundred with twenty five hundred

429
00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 2: of our own, which means twenty five plus twenty five

430
00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 2: plus another twenty five hundred our listeners have contributed gets

431
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,000
Speaker 2: us to seventy five hundred, which gets us within twenty

432
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:15,000
Speaker 2: five hundred dollars. And if you can do fifty or

433
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 2: one hundred or two fifty or whatever you can do

434
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 2: before we go off the air, if you go to

435
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:24,159

440
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 2: very simple, clear details. I'm an over communicator. I use

441
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 2: too many words and try to simplify it too much

442
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 2: because that way it reduces the likelihood of error. And

443
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 2: you could and just tell me when you ask for

444
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:50,600

00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 2: like to be able to announce that we got to

446
00:25:52,600 --> 00:25:56,240

447
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:58,240
Speaker 1: So help me do that. Please. Even if you can't

448
00:25:58,280 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 1: do much, it doesn't have to be that much. It's

449
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:02,160
Speaker 1: the thought that counts.

Speaker 2: I think it pays itself back. Maybe not in the

468
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 2: short term, but I think it pays itself back. In

469
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 2: endorphin release, you got to find some way that you

470
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 2: can find happiness. We were in the green room with

471
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:22,199
Speaker 2: Tucker Crossing last night, Jesse, Kelly and I talking about

472
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 2: he quit drinking. And he's been very clear if you

473
00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,159
Speaker 2: if you read what he's written over the years, that

474
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 2: he was a raging alcoholic and couldn't handle it and

475
00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 2: he realized that he had to quit and he did

476
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,400
Speaker 2: and it was hard for him. He was a journalist

477
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 2: at the time, uh, and it was kind of the life.

478
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:43,399
Speaker 2: You know, you worked by day and then you went

479
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,440
Speaker 2: to the bars and that's where you got your sources.

480
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,119
Speaker 2: That's where people opened up to you and told you

481
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 2: things that that's what gave you the insight, they'll do

482
00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 2: what you're doing.

483
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 1: And then his smoking.

484
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:55,679
Speaker 2: Picked up to a much It was a cigarette smoker

485
00:27:55,880 --> 00:28:00,240
Speaker 2: and just constantly smoking cigarettes he made and he is

486
00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,800
Speaker 2: to kick that and he did it with Zen, which

487
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,680
Speaker 2: now he's not doing Zen, and he's created his own

488
00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 2: product called ALP, because Zen has come out big for

489
00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 2: Kamala Harris. But Tucker has a new product called Alp,

490
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 2: which he says was kind of built for him. It's

491
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:20,119
Speaker 2: his brand. And I don't know if he's announced the launch.

492
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 2: I think he's going to announce the launch. I'm not

493
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 2: revealing anything that I'm not allowed to reveal. But we

494
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 2: were talking last night about addiction, which is what got

495
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,359
Speaker 2: me thinking about this. And here's a guy who talked

496
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:35,240
Speaker 2: about you destroying his life and being grateful that he

497
00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 2: fought that. And he said, look, my addiction today, my

498
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:45,280
Speaker 2: weakness today, I've got pretty good control of myself at

499
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 2: fifty five years old, is food and especially desserts. And

500
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 2: he said, I embarrassed myself when I'm with sponsors who

501
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 2: spent all this money for our tour and things like that,

502
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 2: when they see how I eat, he goes, that's what's

503
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 2: left to me, and that's what I do. I bury

504
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 2: my sadness and food. And we had a good laugh

505
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 2: about it. So buddy of mine, I call him the

506
00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 2: Aggie plumber, Michael Robinson. He's he's up in College Station,

507
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 2: just a small little plumbing company. He does most of

510
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 2: Family man, husband, dad, the whole deal. And he had

511
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:27,160
Speaker 2: an overnight job for Gringos up there last night. And

512
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 2: Gringos is always upgrad I've never seen body do this.

513
00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 2: They're always renovating, always updating. Even though you know, I'll say,

514
00:29:36,520 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 2: what didn't you just do that store three years ago?

515
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 2: You got to step you know, you gotta have high standards.

516
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 1: You got to keep doing.

517
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 2: You've got to invest every every opinion we make, we

518
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 2: set aside a dollar for charity, We set aside for

519
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 2: for renovations, for improvements, for upgrades, for research.

520
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: Anyway, so he couldn't.

521
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 2: When you work in a restaurant, as Bert Harvey will

522
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 2: tell you, you can't. You can't work while the people to there.

523
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 2: So he arrives last night at ten and he leaves

524
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 2: this morning at seven o'clock and that's a pretty long

525
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:09,000
Speaker 2: night because he'd worked all day yesterday. And he sent

526
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 2: me a picture this morning of him at the waffle

527
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 2: house and it was a picture of the menu. And

528
00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 2: I like to send people the menu sometimes I'll post

529
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 2: this on Facebook and say what would you order? And

530
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,600
Speaker 2: so I didn't see it in time, and of course

531
00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 2: he had been up all night, and I said, what

532
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 2: did you get?

533
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: Here was his order?

534
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 2: Ramon, you would approve three eggs over easy, bacon sausage,

535
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:42,200
Speaker 2: a waffle, hash browns, grits, toast, coffee, a coke, and

536
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 2: five glasses of water.

537
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 1: That's a meal.

538
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 2: That's where you sit down and you've been working all night,

539
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 2: and nobody around you realizes, hey, y'all, i've.

540
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 1: Been working all night. Well, everybody else went home last

541
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:00,640
Speaker 1: night and went to bed. I've been up all night.

542
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:01,320
Speaker 1: And you know that.

543
00:31:01,240 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 2: Feeling you get where you're coffeed up and your teeth

544
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 2: you kind of gritting your teeth and your.

545
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,840
Speaker 1: Eyes, your eyes feel dry and they ache.

546
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,240
Speaker 2: Man, you sit down in a moment like that, three

547
00:31:15,280 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 2: eggs over easy bacon sausage. I like to imagine the

548
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:24,000
Speaker 2: woman when he ordered it, saying, well, you have bacon

549
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:24,800
Speaker 2: or sausage.

550
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:25,280
Speaker 1: Yes.

551
00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 2: My mentor, walterz Ivily, when I would ask him an

552
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 2: either or question, he would say yes, And I always

553
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 2: thought that was so funny.

554
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:34,479
Speaker 1: He was the first person I knew to do that.

555
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 2: Three eggs over easy, bacon, sausage, waffle, hash browns. I'm

556
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,040
Speaker 2: not a hash brown guy of all the forms potatoes take.

557
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:46,640
Speaker 1: Hash browns just wasteful to me. Grits I do a

558
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 1: double order grits toast.

559
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 2: How come restaurants won't butter your toast for you? And

560
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,959
Speaker 2: that's not some euphemism. I mean, I don't understand why

561
00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 2: they can't butter your toast because by the time and

562
00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 2: a lot of places bring out cold butter for your toast.

563
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:04,360
Speaker 1: I don't understand it.

564
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 2: But the butter should be room timp and then you

565
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 2: got this clump of butter you're trying to put it

566
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 2: on the toast, which is digging through the toast. Don't

567
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,560
Speaker 2: y'all realize they bring them out in those little packets.

568
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 1: Don't do that.

569
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,880
Speaker 2: Put some butter on a plate, have it room timp

570
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:19,800
Speaker 2: so like it can actually melt into the toast.

571
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 1: Do you people eat the food you're serving? Damn let's

572
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 1: check on how much we raise
