This 34 00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: ain't an eyelid lift or a tune up on the boobs. No, no, 35 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: this saint this aint lip filler. No no, no, it's not. 36 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 1: I asked my dermatologists, because they do botox there, I said, Uh, 37 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 1: how come these people keep Why can't they stop? Don't 38 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: they realize they all start looking like a cat. You know, 39 00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 1: if you're a mongoloid. There's something about mongoloidism that no 40 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: matter where people are from in the world, the shape 41 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: is always the same. You ever think about that. You 42 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: put a North African, South African, a rav Chinaman, Englishman, 43 00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: uh chaparito from Guatemala, you line them up and you 44 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: can't help but notice there will be different facial structures, 45 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 1: and you know, everything will be different, eyes knows. I mean, 46 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,399 Speaker 1: it's the differences that make us interesting. Otherwise it looks 47 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:24,959 Speaker 1: like China. So I find it fascinating that with Down 48 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:34,359 Speaker 1: syndrome there is this uniformity too. I'm sure the people 49 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: who've dealt with it from medical perspective, well, yeah, you 50 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: dumb ass, because we flapplems will deal f appems because 51 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: that's how people that deal with is how they talk. 52 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:46,360 Speaker 1: But I don't know, I find it interesting otherwise people 53 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: will come out looking so very different. Well you ever 54 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: notice that when these women, once they get it's an addiction, 55 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 1: it's a mental addiction, once they fall in this cosmetic 56 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: surgery thing that the plumper and the filler and this 57 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 1: and that. And I said, what does it start with? 58 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: And my dermatologists who also does the botox, she said, well, 59 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: it starts with what they call a lip flip. What's 60 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,720 Speaker 1: a lip flip but just a little shot. 61 00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 2: You know. 62 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,120 Speaker 1: That's for people that just they really just don't have lips. 63 00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:25,200 Speaker 1: They just have like a little single liner. And the 64 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: lip flip is just to give it, just to give it, 65 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:32,919 Speaker 1: you know, like a butt lift. You know, like Billy 66 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: Bob Thornton don't have an ass and Landman, so his jeans, 67 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: you know, they kind of sagged down in the back. 68 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: Here's a lot of dudes don't have a butt and 69 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,359 Speaker 1: so you know, their jeans they hold them up and 70 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 1: then in the back it's just it's like it's got 71 00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: pushed in. They got and the funny thing is it's 72 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: compensating on the front because they got a little pooch belly. 73 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:57,359 Speaker 1: They always have a little pooch belly and no butt. Right, Yeah, 74 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: So anyway, this is not a cost many surgery. What 75 00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,720 Speaker 1: Mike's doing. To get back to the point, I talked 76 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: to a buddy of mine. I like to see what 77 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: people are thinking before the day starts, because you learn 78 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 1: a lot more because once you get to the office, 79 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,920 Speaker 1: it's just I put on my desk and most people 80 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: are running around like a chicken with their head cut 81 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 1: off based on what was handed to them that morning, 82 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 1: as opposed to taking the day focus and kicking its ass. 83 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: And somebody buddy of mine in New York, it's his 84 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: fifth time to have COVID, is it? Can you believe it? 85 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,600 Speaker 1: How many times have you had COVID? Four? Oh? Really? Yeah? 86 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 1: And I'll probably never have it five? And you know 87 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: it's I get the common cold too. I had I've 88 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,640 Speaker 1: had a pretty nasty pneumonia for the last few weeks. 89 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: And I don't you know, I don't need anybody to 90 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: shut their businesses down. I don't come around anybody. I 91 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 1: don't feel the need to call on anybody. A friend 92 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: of mine having a surgery and I'm not a big 93 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: hospital guy. But that was my excuse, so you don't 94 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: need me at the surgery. And I told Mac, I said, look, 95 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 1: I'm not coming to see you at the hospital because 96 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 1: I got the pneumonia, and you do not need to 97 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:17,440 Speaker 1: add that to your list of woes. They just they 98 00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 1: just took the crack in your sternum quite open. So 99 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: my body's driving in and once you get outside the loop, 100 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 1: I really don't know where I'm at very well, especially 101 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: when you get outside Beltway and when you get on 102 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: up there a little way like Champion Forest in that area. 103 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,479 Speaker 1: I kind of have a general idea, But what I 104 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: don't understand is how you go from being in those 105 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: areas to be in the woodlands where the Woodlands is 106 00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,359 Speaker 1: in my mind, you know, the Woodlands is Chicago and 107 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,040 Speaker 1: you're in Seattle. And you said, like Chance McLean lives 108 00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 1: in the Woodlands and has his studio is in old 109 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: Town Tomball, And in my mind, there's Seattle, that's Tomball 110 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:01,720 Speaker 1: up northwest, and then there's Chicgo that's due north. And 111 00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 1: he's like, oh, it's twelve minutes to get for him. Anyway, 112 00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:09,040 Speaker 1: So my buddy says, it normally takes me an hour 113 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: to get to work. It has taken me over an 114 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: hour and I'm less than a third of the way. 115 00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: I said, well, give me your route, and he stressed, 116 00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:23,160 Speaker 1: going kirkandall Louena. That's well, what is the reason? And 117 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: he said, well, to start with, you got school buses 118 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:29,920 Speaker 1: that stop every forty forty feet because every apartment complex, 119 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 1: the school bus stops in front of them, even though 120 00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: they're literally starting open the door. Kids come on, close 121 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: the door, go up forty feet to the next one. 122 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: And he said, do you know what happened in your day? 123 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:44,840 Speaker 1: I said, yeah, I know what happened. They didn't even 124 00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,400 Speaker 1: come down my road. We had to walk all the 125 00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: way down to the main road. Everybody collected at one 126 00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: spot and that was it. You didn't you didn't get 127 00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 1: the personalized service and all it. He said, oh yeah. 128 00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 1: And then you got the moms that are out front. 129 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:04,320 Speaker 1: He said, single moms. But he doesn't know there's single moms, 130 00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: but he'd probably right there, probably single moss. And he said, 131 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: they're all out there. And as each kid gets on, 132 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: the mom sits there yammering with the school. But because 133 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: she doesn't work, she waiting on our right SSI check. Yeah, 134 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: I might not be here this afternoon. Oh okay, they're 135 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: flirting away and it's on to the next one. He said, 136 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: you can be ten minutes and not make it one 137 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: block because of these school buses. It's the most ridiculous 138 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,880 Speaker 1: thing in the world. And then you got the construction 139 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 1: crews and they're all standing around, not one of them 140 00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 1: doing any work. There is no concern with construction crews 141 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,040 Speaker 1: about getting the roads back. It makes me crazy. You'll 142 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:44,120 Speaker 1: see for a week a construction site has no work done. 143 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:49,200 Speaker 1: A private business would never But yep, all right, we're 144 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:55,120 Speaker 1: gonna check in on Mattress Mac.

And it is the website where you 336 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: go to you click the link and then you put 337 00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 1: in the note section that you would like to attend 338 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 1: Professor Blackman's constitutional law class, and you will go there 339 00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 1: and hopefully be as unobtrusive as possible and simply sit 340 00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,080 Speaker 1: in the back of the room and observe. But it'd 341 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:38,159 Speaker 1: be a neat thing to do it thought. It was 342 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:42,040 Speaker 1: very kind of Professor Blackman to offer to make that 343 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: happen for people. And this doesn't mean that you are 344 00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 1: a potential law school student. You can be seventy years 345 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 1: old and a retired truck driver and go, well, kind 346 00:20:52,119 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: of like, do that, and he will be more than 347 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,159 Speaker 1: happy to help you do that. He'll be our guest 348 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:03,080 Speaker 1: coming up at nine o'clock. What what now? You won't 349 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:04,959 Speaker 1: be a lawyer at the end of it, but you 350 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:08,320 Speaker 1: could play one on TV. You could. You know. The 351 00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 1: funny thing is being a law student is quite unlike 352 00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: what most people think because a lot of professors, most professors. 353 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 1: In fact, the most frightening professor at the University of 354 00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:22,920 Speaker 1: Texas School of Law I signed up for his class 355 00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: for this very reason because he's a legend, was Professor 356 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 1: Charles allen Wright. And Professor Charles allen Wright was at 357 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:30,879 Speaker 1: the end of his career when I was there in 358 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,800 Speaker 1: the mid nineties, and he had a leg that was 359 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,159 Speaker 1: all jacked up, so he would put his leg up 360 00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,120 Speaker 1: on the table in front of him. And if you've 361 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:41,239 Speaker 1: seen the movie Paper Chase and the tough professor with 362 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:44,480 Speaker 1: the bow tie that wrote the textbook, that was Charles 363 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,760 Speaker 1: Allen Wright. He was if you look him up, and 364 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,159 Speaker 1: you look up the Nixon administration and what he did 365 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,760 Speaker 1: during that time, the Saturday Night Masater and all that. 366 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 1: The guy Charles Allen Wright walked the hallway of the 367 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:01,919 Speaker 1: University of Texas School of Law, a legend like the 368 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:07,400 Speaker 1: seas parted. When he walked, you did not you didn't know, Hey, 369 00:22:07,440 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 1: what time's party on Friday? In front of Charles Allen Right, 370 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:17,320 Speaker 1: you conducted yourself with decorum and dignity, and you you 371 00:22:17,320 --> 00:22:20,800 Speaker 1: know he was he was older when he was tall, 372 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 1: and he was very rigid. If you had to have 373 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: someone from Central Casting play him, you'd say, uh, here's 374 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: here's h William F. 375 00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 2: Buckley. 376 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:38,360 Speaker 1: He's very William F. Buckley. And so it was very 377 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 1: difficult to get into his civil procedure maybe its con 378 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 1: law or civil procedu, I don't remember. It's very very 379 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:52,360 Speaker 1: difficult to get into his class. And he had years before. 380 00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:56,960 Speaker 1: Is this another great example? Years before, the women in 381 00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:02,160 Speaker 1: the class had complained that he was too harsh when 382 00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:04,840 Speaker 1: he called on the students. Now you go to law school, 383 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: you want to be with the big boys, and he 384 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 1: would absolutely shred you. It was a rite of passage. 385 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 1: You know, you you made it through Charles allen Wright's class. 386 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 1: Some girls went and complained to the dean. So Charles 387 00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 1: allen Wright said, fine, I won't call on anybody again. 388 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: And so you would walk into his class and you 389 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:32,440 Speaker 1: kind of look at the women, you kind of hiss 390 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:37,080 Speaker 1: that you ruined it for us, because it isn't isn't 391 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 1: that really the greatest example? I mean, isn't that the 392 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:46,240 Speaker 1: metaphor for everything? They're plenty of the right kind of 393 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,480 Speaker 1: women would walk in there and go bring it. I'm here, 394 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: I won't be with the big boys. Right. But isn't 395 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:59,640 Speaker 1: that how many people feel the desperate need to go 396 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:05,399 Speaker 1: into an environment that is established for that and then 397 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,879 Speaker 1: bust it up. You know what, I don't understand women 398 00:24:10,760 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 1: that want to be part of a men's social or 399 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:20,400 Speaker 1: country club. You know, there were for decades women would 400 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: desperately try to get into locanvar Why it's a men's club. 401 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,680 Speaker 1: Women don't understand this, or they do understand makes them mad. 402 00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:33,880 Speaker 1: There are times that men want to get away from you. Now, 403 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,360 Speaker 1: most of the time they want to chase you. But 404 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:42,119 Speaker 1: there are times that there there is no need, desire, 405 00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:46,680 Speaker 1: or tolerance for the feminine essence. Guys want to get 406 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:50,000 Speaker 1: together and scratch ourselves and tell stories and blow stuff 407 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 1: up rib each other, and then there will be another 408 00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,080 Speaker 1: time that we come together with the ladies. If if 409 00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,399 Speaker 1: you set a ladies only club, if you were to 410 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 1: do that, there wouldn't be a single man. I guess 411 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 1: there would now, But no dude is going. Man. Can 412 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:16,200 Speaker 1: you believe those ladies they gather together and they don't 413 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: let us join them. Nobody would say that, and it 414 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:23,240 Speaker 1: would not happen. Yep, y'all, go off, do your thing. 415 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 1: Go ahead, we'll go over here at the guid's Club. Well, 416 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 1: we want to come to the guy's club anyway. Charles 417 00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 1: all night. He was a legend. One of the highlights 418 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,040 Speaker 1: of my law school career was hitting to be in 419 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,639 Speaker 1: his class. That and being under the tutelage of the 420 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:44,520 Speaker 1: great Leno GROYA Michael Berry show by I'm a jugent 421 00:25:44,600 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: you completing the seat. I want to be wrong to 422 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:49,399 Speaker 1: last check on the mail, because we want people to 423 00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: have their voice want. Lisa writes, good morning elt to Sino. 424 00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 1: My daughter has down syndrome and I don't ever see 425 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:01,400 Speaker 1: it until she gets around other people with it. Your 426 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:06,680 Speaker 1: point on that was great, Love your show. Walter writes, 427 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,639 Speaker 1: At the old Ben Top emergency room building in the eighties, 428 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,439 Speaker 1: we didn't have enough beds or chairs. Matt gave us 429 00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,000 Speaker 1: six recliners to fit in a room not big enough 430 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,439 Speaker 1: for stretchers until we moved to the new er That 431 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,679 Speaker 1: room was known by all as the Gallery Room. It 432 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:27,440 Speaker 1: made patience much more comfortable and helped us take care 433 00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:33,400 Speaker 1: of them. God bless you, Matt. Brian writes, Brian Deer 434 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:35,960 Speaker 1: is a listener of ours. He's gone on some of 435 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 1: our trips. He's one of these guys. He's he's kind 436 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:44,200 Speaker 1: of a high functioning Forrest Gump, a high functioning rain Man. 437 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 1: He's got multiple degrees, multiple careers, very very he's out 438 00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,680 Speaker 1: there on the spectrum, just absolutely brilliant. But he always 439 00:26:54,720 --> 00:27:02,879 Speaker 1: writes good emails and yeah, so anyway, he packed up 440 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 1: his wife and kids and they moved to Andorra a 441 00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 1: couple of years ago, and so he sends me reports 442 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,640 Speaker 1: on it, and so this morning was thoughts on Andorra. 443 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: Number one, you would love Andorra if Aspen were a 444 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 1: country but had low taxes and slightly less pretension. Though 445 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: I did see a Lamborghini with snow tires in a 446 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:27,360 Speaker 1: bike rack yesterday. So number two, no graffiti anywhere. Graffiti 447 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: to me is a trailing indicator of a society's health. 448 00:27:30,640 --> 00:27:36,280 Speaker 1: Number three spectacular skiing and amazing summer mountain piece. Number 449 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 1: four actually saw some Ford F one fifties? Can you 450 00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 1: believe it? I'd really love to answer the question why 451 00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: can't all countries be like Andorra crazy good business environment, 452 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:55,159 Speaker 1: low taxes, high quality services, streets squeaky clean, no migrant issues, 453 00:27:55,480 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 1: strict immigration requirements, highly educated, multi lingual. It's kind of 454 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:03,679 Speaker 1: a Catalan Singapore anyway. I know you're a student of 455 00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 1: such things, so I thought you'd appreciate my observations as usual. 456 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:13,920 Speaker 1: Of course, I do what you have an Andorra Andorra. No, 457 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 1: that that's that's a you gotta ant my soul as well. 458 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:22,439 Speaker 1: Greg writes, what do you call a Filipino contortionist? A 459 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:29,159 Speaker 1: Manila folder. You heard that one before. Comes down to people, folks, 460 00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:33,440 Speaker 1: It comes down to people. If you want to take 461 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,439 Speaker 1: a great place and trash, it won't take long to 462 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: do it. Dump a bad bunch of bad people in it. 463 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: Just the reality of it. Most of America's migratory patterns 464 00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 1: right now of the citizenry. The citizenry is trying to 465 00:28:52,200 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 1: flee crime and socialism. The creeping socialism brings with it 466 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: crime because when you destroy the individual through statism, you 467 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 1: eventually destroy the ability of the individual to protect himself, 468 00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: his family, his assets, his property. Group ownership means no ownership. 469 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 1: We had a public pool in Orange was the one 470 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 1: pool you never wanted to set foot near. Stabbings, beatings fights. 471 00:29:31,160 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 1: We were verboten. It was verboten in our family to 472 00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 1: go to the public pool in Orange. Of course I'd 473 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 1: have stuck out like a sore thumb, but we were 474 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: not allowed to go there. It was known as a 475 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:49,000 Speaker 1: bad place until eventually the residents in the area said, 476 00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 1: we've had enough. We'd rather the young thugs find somewhere 477 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 1: else to congregate. So what are we to do? Because 478 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 1: nobody wants to talk about it, we just call it racism. 479 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 1: What are we to do about our crime problems in 480 00:30:03,640 --> 00:30:06,080 Speaker 1: this country? What are we to do about failing schools? 481 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:14,280 Speaker 1: What are we to do about people who live amongst 482 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 1: us with seemingly no job skills or desire to get 483 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,920 Speaker 1: a job. How much are we to spend? Should we 484 00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:27,880 Speaker 1: send a check every month because that's not enough? Should 485 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 1: we allow our truck to be stolen and not need 486 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 1: to recover it. Should we hire people who don't have 487 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:38,400 Speaker 1: job skills or maybe can't get along once they're hired 488 00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:43,840 Speaker 1: under the job, some of whom will file false lawsuits, 489 00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:46,720 Speaker 1: some of whom will be toxic to the work environment. 490 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,880 Speaker 1: What are we to do? Let's stop for a moment, 491 00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:51,760 Speaker 1: say you're king for a day. You want this place 492 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:55,000 Speaker 1: to be great? What would you do? These are very 493 00:30:55,240 --> 00:31:01,320 Speaker 1: very complex, complicated answers. So what are we do in 494 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:05,200 Speaker 1: the meantime? Because you're not king, you're an individual, Well, 495 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 1: you start leaving communities where this is a problem. It's 496 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 1: not a secret why people are moving to Republic Grand 497 00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:16,280 Speaker 1: Ranch not a secret why Montgomery County is booming and 498 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:20,160 Speaker 1: Harris County is bleeding. It's the same thing that's happening 499 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:26,040 Speaker 1: with California. To Texas. It's the same exact thing. We 500 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:30,600 Speaker 1: are a nation constantly fleeing the problems. No one wants 501 00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 1: to admit it. Oh, you'll get your random gay couple 502 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 1: that'll want to go into a bad neighborhood and turn 503 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 1: it around. And if they talk some of their friends 504 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 1: in to do it, they will, they will, They'll stick 505 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:46,040 Speaker 1: it out. Gabors are the first side of the recovery 506 00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:50,719 Speaker 1: of an inner city neighborhood. And give them about five years, 507 00:31:51,080 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 1: where now, all of a sudden, the homes are repainted, 508 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 1: not rebuilt, repainted, and they're nice, and there's flowers planted 509 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:03,120 Speaker 1: out front and not cars parked there, and that house 510 00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 1: doesn't emanate any gunshots. You know what will happen in 511 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 1: very short order. There will be people who lived in 512 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:14,120 Speaker 1: that crime riddled, filthy neighborhood whose values are shot up 513 00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:17,920 Speaker 1: should they decide to sell, and they will start complaining 514 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:23,719 Speaker 1: that those people are taking over our neighborhood because there 515 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:28,040 Speaker 1: are certain people who are comfortable in the corruption in 516 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 1: the crap. No secret that Sheila Jackson Lee was elected 517 00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:36,840 Speaker 1: for thirty years to be a congressman wasn't an accident, 518 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:41,600 Speaker 1: Michael Old. People understand they understand. You understand, So what 519 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 1: are you to do? What are you to do? You 520 00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 1: save those who want to be saved. You give opportunity 521 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,400 Speaker 1: to those who want to have opportunity. But if you're 522 00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:52,400 Speaker 1: the king and you're actually trying to trying to fix 523 00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,479 Speaker 1: this place, trying to make this place great, what do 524 00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 1: you do? It's complicated, it ain't easy. And the very 525 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 1: people you think, I think you're going to help are 526 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,080 Speaker 1: the very people who will work so hard against you. 527 00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:09,200 Speaker 1: That's tough. And in order to prevent this conversation from 528 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:13,000 Speaker 1: ever being held, we shall call it racist and brand 529 00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:17,280 Speaker 1: the racist an outcast who must never speak in public. 530 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:25,000 Speaker 1: And before long you have created an intransigence, an environment 531 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 1: in which it will never be fixed. And so here 532 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 1: we are. Professor Josh Blackman will be our guest coming up, 533 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,480 Speaker 1: and he will also discuss the fact that if you 534 00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:38,600 Speaker 1: want to visit the law school sit through a class, 535 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 1: you can
