This has not been just a 109 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,600 Speaker 6: career to me. It's been my life's purpose and I 110 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 6: look forward to continuing our journey together. 111 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 1: Also be noted as Dave's health deteriorated over the last 112 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 1: eight years or so, including in a wheelchair. For some 113 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: of that, his wife Laura was by his side. He 114 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:18,960 Speaker 1: wanted to be out and about among his adoring fans, 115 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 1: and I've seen it the black tie crowd to the 116 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: average everyday Houstonian wanted to come up tell him how 117 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: much they loved him. And Laura was carting him around, 118 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 1: escorting him wherever you would see them as much as ever. 119 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: As his health continued to fail over the last few years, 120 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 1: and worth noting he had a lot of friends in 121 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 1: this community, a lot of people who some of whom 122 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,160 Speaker 1: knew him well, and some of whom watched him every day. 123 00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:53,520 Speaker 1: I sent a message to Sheriff Fryar over the weekend 124 00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: and we had a nice exchange that was quite the 125 00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: ABC thirteen lineup over the years, if you think of it, 126 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: between Marvin Zendler, Dave Ward, Sheriff Fryar, Wayne Dolchafino was 127 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,680 Speaker 1: there for a number of those years. They were not 128 00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 1: only the number one station in the market, there was 129 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: no number two. I mean just absolutely legendary, legendary personalities 130 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: on one station, Michael Berry show, g our Old LaSalle 131 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:37,720 Speaker 1: ran Great. What a line, what an opening, what a program? Wow. 132 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: Archie Bunker's daughter was married to a character. Do you 133 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: remember the character's full name? Ramon Mike was his name 134 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: because she would say, oh, Mike or Mikey. His last 135 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,839 Speaker 1: name was Stivic. I did not know that until this 136 00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: morning when I looked it up. But he was known 137 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:05,599 Speaker 1: by Archie as meathead. His name was Rob Reiner. Not 138 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 1: exactly the look from Central casting of a Hollywood actor, 139 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 1: and his acting chops were not exactly top notch. But 140 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:22,199 Speaker 1: then he began directing, and did he ever have a 141 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:28,040 Speaker 1: remarkable run. This is spinal tap The Princess Bride. That's 142 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:30,000 Speaker 1: Ted Cruz's favorite movie of all time. By the way, 143 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: stand by me when Harry met Sally Misery, A few 144 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: good men. His directing career has been nothing short of incredible. 145 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:54,079 Speaker 1: You could put it up against anybody, if only he 146 00:09:54,360 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: had stopped behind the camera. I can disagree with wants politics. 147 00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:07,240 Speaker 1: Rob Reiner was ostensibly, as it was reported, liberal, I 148 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: can handle liberal. Rob Reiner was hateful. He was angry 149 00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: and hateful toward Maga Americans, the very people who bought 150 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:24,400 Speaker 1: tickets to his productions. And I do think that fame 151 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: brings to people a sense of arrogance that causes them 152 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:36,040 Speaker 1: to disdain their own fans, the people who made them rich. 153 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 1: I'm not saying they can't have opinions, of course, absolutely, 154 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,319 Speaker 1: but the tone in which you express them and Rob 155 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: Reiner crossed a line on more than one occasion, and 156 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:53,439 Speaker 1: I think engendered downright hatred for many Americans because of it. 157 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:59,320 Speaker 1: That being said, a tragic end for him and his wife. 158 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: He's seventy eight, she's sixty eight, found over the weekend 159 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: in their La home, both of them having been stabbed 160 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: to death. There is being reported, although not yet confirmed, 161 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,280 Speaker 1: that his throat was slit by their child. I don't 162 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:23,040 Speaker 1: know the history behind that. Ramone is our Hollywood reporter. 163 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: Do we have any updates on it is a fact 164 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:31,079 Speaker 1: that the son killed him. People are reporting that credible sources. 165 00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 1: Oh you, oh, People magazine. Ramone earlier said, people are reporting, 166 00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,640 Speaker 1: and I thought, I said, well, who are the people? Well, 167 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,199 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't want to get too a hubbany, 168 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:51,439 Speaker 1: but I've never really viewed People magazine as a serious source. 169 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:57,840 Speaker 1: But we shall see. In any case, a tragic ending 170 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 1: for Rob Reiner and his wife. I wonder how many 171 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:09,200 Speaker 1: people are killed by a family member in this country 172 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:15,319 Speaker 1: alone in a year. I bet the actual number that 173 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 1: the raw data would shock you. And I always imagine 174 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 1: your last moments when you know, in this case, your 175 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:32,559 Speaker 1: own child is ending your life. And I suspect in 176 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: cases like that, there's probably some mental health problems. And 177 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,559 Speaker 1: I suspect there has probably been over the years a 178 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 1: statement of time or two that this kid is going 179 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,439 Speaker 1: to kill us, because it is rarely the case that 180 00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:51,520 Speaker 1: that comes out of nowhere, and it can happen. I've 181 00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: seen cases where a young person terrorizes their parents. Used 182 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,439 Speaker 1: to work next to a location. It was a residential neighborhood, 183 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:07,000 Speaker 1: and the son would come and terrorize his dad, his 184 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 1: parents in their condo and beat the door, practically beat 185 00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 1: the door down, threatening to kill them if they didn't 186 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,000 Speaker 1: open the door, until eventually a neighbor would call the 187 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 1: police and come and haul the sun away. It was 188 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:26,079 Speaker 1: it wasn't good speaking of a few good men. The 189 00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,920 Speaker 1: most quotable quote from that movie put it in This 190 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 1: is Final Tap the Princess Bride stand by Me. When 191 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: Harry met Sally misery and a few good men. That's 192 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 1: quite the directorial credits. You want answers.

You, you, Lieutenant Weinberg. I have 199 00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 1: a greater. 200 00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 7: Responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Santiago 201 00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 7: and you curse the Marines. You have that luxury, You 202 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 7: have the luxury of not knowing what I know. That 203 00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 7: Santiago's death, while tragic, probably saved lives, and my existence, 204 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 7: while grotesque and incomprehensible to. 205 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 1: You, saves lives. 206 00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 7: You don't want the truth because deep down in places 207 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:19,680 Speaker 7: you don't talk about at parties, you want me on 208 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 7: that wall. 209 00:14:20,840 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: You need me on that wall. 210 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 7: We use words like honor, code, loyalty. We use these 211 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,400 Speaker 7: words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. 212 00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:33,200 Speaker 1: You use them as a punchline. 213 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 7: I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain 214 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 7: myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the 215 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,160 Speaker 7: blanket of the very freedom that I provide, and then 216 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,320 Speaker 7: questions the manner in which I provided. I would rather 217 00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 7: you just said thank you and went on your way.

I got the ten that held the saltines. 376 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,159 Speaker 1: I thought it was at sardines at first, but it 377 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 1: was the saltine crackers. Paul Baker, our private investigator, says, 378 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,320 Speaker 1: try the Westminster crackers at Chick fil A. In my view, 379 00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 1: the best cracker. May you ever tried? 380 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:44,399 Speaker 6: That? 381 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,680 Speaker 1: The best cracker was George Washington. Oh my goodness, Okay, 382 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 1: I think that's a different kind of cracker. Okay. Lyell 383 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 1: Murray writes, no cracker, no rice. That's a starch allergy 384 00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:00,480 Speaker 1: or in tolerant. 385 00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:01,400 Speaker 10: Oh. 386 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 1: I got that. I would like to know more. You know, 387 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 1: we humans are a are a quirky bunch, aren't we 388 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 1: So many tummy issues? And I mean, I suppose it 389 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:22,200 Speaker 1: says more about our food supply than us that the 390 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 1: foods we eat don't seem to agree with us. I 391 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:30,880 Speaker 1: wonder if you know the Samerians had such tummy issues, 392 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:35,160 Speaker 1: or maybe they were more in touch with the foods 393 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:37,400 Speaker 1: you were supposed to eat. I read a great book. 394 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:39,680 Speaker 1: I'll see if I can find it, because somebody asked 395 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:47,920 Speaker 1: about alcohol from beer to bourbon or something like that, 396 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: and the article was about bread and bread being a 397 00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:59,920 Speaker 1: sustaining element in our diet, and there is some dispute 398 00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 1: as to whether the fermentation of bread for alcohol or 399 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:09,520 Speaker 1: bread in its solid form came first. But the importance 400 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 1: of bread to our diet for so long, and we 401 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 1: didn't have the gluten issues because we didn't spray it 402 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,080 Speaker 1: with all the trash we put on it now. But 403 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 1: I don't eat bread like I used to do. You 404 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:21,360 Speaker 1: eat a lot of bread? 405 00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:21,680 Speaker 6: Room are? 406 00:26:22,440 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 1: I grew up eating so much bread, so many bread products, 407 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,920 Speaker 1: and we ate bread, We ate bread and bread pudding. 408 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:35,959 Speaker 1: I mean bread was used in everything. Sheila Tackett writes 409 00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 1: gumbo potato salad three exclamation marks. That is the Southwest 410 00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: Louisiana kunez as Charles Clarke at Brastroy nineteen does his 411 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,120 Speaker 1: gumbo with potato salad. A couple of problems. Number one, 412 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,879 Speaker 1: I don't like potato salad. Number two, I don't like 413 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:58,440 Speaker 1: potato salad in my gumbo period. End of story. A 414 00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 1: new pole out by Tiahoe shows Jasmine Crockett at fifty 415 00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:07,119 Speaker 1: one percent in the Democrat primary, with James Talarico at 416 00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 1: forty three percent. Barbara Jordan, Public Policy Research and Survey 417 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 1: Center at TSU poll sixteen hundred likely Texas Democrat primary 418 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,520 Speaker 1: voters between December ninth and eleventh, saying the results have 419 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,040 Speaker 1: a margin of error plus or minus two point four 420 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 1: or five percent. I don't believe that is their margin 421 00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 1: of error. Sixteen hundred is a nice sized pole. To 422 00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 1: get a margin of error under three percent is impressive. 423 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,639 Speaker 1: I don't know who funded that. I think that is 424 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 1: an advocacy poll, not a results poll. But hey, I'm 425 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 1: not going to cry for a white liberal getting his 426 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:47,600 Speaker 1: ass whipped by a black, loud mouthed ghetto woman in 427 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,479 Speaker 1: a Democrat primary because this is the sort of thing 428 00:27:50,560 --> 00:27:54,359 Speaker 1: that if anyone else opposed her, James tallerco Would call 429 00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:57,400 Speaker 1: them a racist. So you be a racist now, Talla Rico, 430 00:27:57,960 --> 00:28:00,920 Speaker 1: you take your whipping real good life. You'd be a 431 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,160 Speaker 1: good little white boy, because that's what's about to happen. 432 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:07,520 Speaker 1: You're getting maumoued, and I'm here for it. Jasmine Crockett 433 00:28:07,560 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 1: leads tall Rico amongst women fifty seven to thirty six, 434 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:14,320 Speaker 1: amongst those fifty five are older, fifty nine to thirty four, 435 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:19,160 Speaker 1: amongst black voters eighty nine to eight. Conversely, tall Rico 436 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 1: leads with white voters fifty three to forty racist, with 437 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,880 Speaker 1: men fifty two to forty two, Latino voters fifty one 438 00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 1: forty one. His strongest demographic is young voters, leading sixty 439 00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,160 Speaker 1: three to thirty four among eligible voters under the age 440 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,399 Speaker 1: of thirty four. According to the poll, taller Rico lags 441 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 1: behind Crockett heavily in name recognition, with twenty one percent 442 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 1: of likely Democrat primary voters saying they don't know enough 443 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 1: to have a favorable or unfavorable opinion about him. On 444 00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 1: the other hand, only six percent of voters say they 445 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:59,240 Speaker 1: don't know enough of Jasmine Crockett. Well, Jasmine Crockett is 446 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: going to suck all the oxygen out of that race, 447 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 1: and it will end up being a referendum on Jasmine Crockett. 448 00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 1: Tallie tall Ico is a white liberal who is most 449 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 1: known for criticizing Christians that people of faith should not 450 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:20,680 Speaker 1: be participating in the political process on the basis of 451 00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 1: their faith, which won't matter in a Democrat primary, but 452 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,960 Speaker 1: it'll cost him real bad if he makes it to November. 453 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,680 Speaker 1: I don't expect him to make it to November, and 454 00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 1: I don't expect John Cornyn to make it to November 455 00:29:34,080 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 1: as well. A new poll coming out late last night 456 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 1: or early this morning. I just saw it early this morning, 457 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:46,280 Speaker 1: has John Cornyn continuing to lag behind in third place, 458 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:51,800 Speaker 1: with Paxton in first, Wesley Hunt in second, and Cornyn 459 00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:56,800 Speaker 1: in third. Now there's something at play here that needs 460 00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: to get more attention. The National Republican Senatorial Committee in 461 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:08,760 Speaker 1: RSC raises money across the country to build a Republican 462 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 1: majority in the Senate. A lot of that money comes 463 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:17,239 Speaker 1: from California and New York. And these are folks who 464 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:21,800 Speaker 1: can't elect a Republican senator from their state, but they 465 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:25,440 Speaker 1: put money in to the Carl Roves of the world 466 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 1: and they're trying to elect a Senate majority. Well, if 467 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:36,200 Speaker 1: you're trying to elect a Senate majority, you don't need 468 00:30:36,320 --> 00:30:39,680 Speaker 1: to be worried about what the people of Texas want. 469 00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 1: You need to be in North Carolina, Michigan to another state. 470 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 1: There's three states that we have a shot at picking 471 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:54,880 Speaker 1: up a Democrat seat that's on the bubble. But instead 472 00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: of sending money there, they are pouring money into Texas. 473 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:05,600 Speaker 1: So imagine New Yorkers in Californians pouring money into Texas 474 00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,200 Speaker 1: to tell us to vote for the guy who's been 475 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 1: our senator for over twenty years. What do they know 476 00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,360 Speaker 1: that we don't know? Tell us we'd love to know, 477 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 1: trying to tell us to vote in a way that 478 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,320 Speaker 1: is contrary to our interests. We live here. They don't 479 00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,760 Speaker 1: we know Cornyn, except they know something of Cornyn we 480 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:29,520 Speaker 1: don't know. They know the backroom deals, they know who 481 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 1: he really represents. They know about him gutting Trump when 482 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 1: no one's watching. It's a complicated, clever machination of how 483 00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 1: he does that. So they're pouring all this money into 484 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 1: telling us to vote for their choice from New York 485 00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 1: and California instead of our choice in Texas. No, thank you. 486 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:50,280 Speaker 1: Save that money spending on some races where you can win, 487 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 1: because John Corny ain't went in Texas.
