1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,080 Speaker 1: And we will open the phone lines today. Before we 2 00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:06,920 Speaker 1: do that, I thought it would be your show. Let 3 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:11,800 Speaker 1: you drive this train today with the able assistance of 4 00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:16,000 Speaker 1: Greg and Mike in the studio and us down here 5 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: in Houston, Ramone and Chad and me, Michael Barry. It's 6 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:21,440 Speaker 1: been a whole lot of fun. Our sixth and final 7 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 1: day with you. Clay and Buck will be back on Monday, 8 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 1: rested and ready for another great year of broadcast excellence. 9 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:34,519 Speaker 1: Before you start your calls. I used to think that 10 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 1: New Year's Eve and the whole New Year's Resolution was 11 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:42,800 Speaker 1: just silly thing, in the same way that I would 12 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:47,479 Speaker 1: make fun of cards, Hallmark cards. My grandmother was a 13 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: cafeterial lady. She was a widow, very young in life, 14 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,160 Speaker 1: and she was a cafeterial lady. And then when the kids, 15 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 1: when her kids my parents' generation, left home, she was 16 00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,200 Speaker 1: bored in the evening and not one to sit around 17 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: asking anyone to come, you know, spend their time with her. 18 00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: She took on another job and she would get off 19 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: from being a cafeteria lady. She would drive to the 20 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,520 Speaker 1: Hallmark store and she worked in the Hallmark store. So 21 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: never was there an occasion when I did not have 22 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 1: a card in the mail. So people who don't like cards, 23 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: and I'm not crazy over them, but people who don't 24 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: like cards or we'll say, we'll make fun of cards. 25 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,680 Speaker 1: And I don't think people send cards the way they 26 00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 1: used to, mostly because the whole snail mail concept and 27 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,120 Speaker 1: the email instant gratification. It's easier, it's quicker, they can 28 00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,240 Speaker 1: respond faster. But I always had a soft spot for cards. 29 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 1: I always thought that was a nice thing. And what 30 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: it meant to me was that someone had thought about 31 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: me before that occasion and taken the time in advance 32 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 1: to write a nice note and send it along. And 33 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:51,400 Speaker 1: she would do it while she was working at the 34 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,440 Speaker 1: Hallmark store. For you young kids, ask your grandparents what 35 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: a Hallmark store was, and they'll explain it. You'd open 36 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:03,160 Speaker 1: the door and rattle, and there was a distinctive smell, 37 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: and there were lots of cards and lots of candles. 38 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: Every small town has one. It's usually owned by a 39 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,960 Speaker 1: woman there whose husband's made a little bit of money, 40 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:12,720 Speaker 1: and in order to get her out of the house 41 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 1: and give her something to focus on other than him 42 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: and his drinking, he lets her do a little shop 43 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: in town called sassy boutique or something of the order. 44 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 1: And yeah, every little town has it, mind did as well, 45 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: but the little bit bigger town Bridge City had a 46 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 1: Hallmark store. But I've come to learn over the years 47 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 1: that resolutions do matter. And I say that because somebody 48 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: out there is going to hear what I have to 49 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 1: say and change their life. Last year, I made some 50 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:48,000 Speaker 1: resolutions to take better care of my health, to lose 51 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,239 Speaker 1: the weight that I hadn't lost over all those years 52 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:56,000 Speaker 1: that I kept talking about, to sleep more, to hydrate now. 53 00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: It was partially informed by the fact that the the 54 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: COVID mania was in full effect, but it was partly 55 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 1: because it was long overdue. I just turned at the 56 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:12,080 Speaker 1: time fifty years old, and I was, if it is 57 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: to be, it's up to me. I'm going to do this, 58 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 1: and this is the occasion, and I'm going to do 59 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: it well. Lo and behold, I lost seventy pounds. I 60 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 1: feel better and look better than I have in a 61 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: very very long time. It's made me a better talk 62 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 1: show host, but more importantly, it's made me a better 63 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: dad husband. I'm happier, I feel good, a lot of 64 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: very positive changes in my life. Well, the new Year 65 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: can sometimes give people the excuse that they needed. Right. 66 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: We don't just send a note to somebody, Hey, grandson, 67 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: love you, You're great, but if it's their birthday, then 68 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: we will. The New Year can be an occasion where 69 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,520 Speaker 1: you do that, and I would encourage you to do 70 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: that because if you don't make that New Year's resolution. 71 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 1: And I'm not saying go run and join a gym, 72 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: but if you don't make that New Year's solution, you're 73 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 1: probably not going to do it on March eighth or 74 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: June ninth or August seventeen. If you start it, you 75 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,160 Speaker 1: may not live up to it. But if you don't 76 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:16,680 Speaker 1: start it, you're never going to do it. Exercised water, sleep, vitamins. 77 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 1: There's a great deal of information out there about regimens 78 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,920 Speaker 1: you can undertake to strengthen your system, not just for COVID, 79 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 1: because COVID is going to go away. The common COVID 80 00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: is the common cold, and we're going to have upper 81 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 1: respiratory infections for the rest of our existence on this 82 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,799 Speaker 1: earth as we always have. That's not going to go away. 83 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: That's always going to be here. But guess what, if 84 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,039 Speaker 1: you lose weight, it not only helps you fight COVID. 85 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 1: It helps you fight the things you're likely to die of. 86 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: And it's not COVID. It's heart attack, heart disease, the diabetes, stroke, 87 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: All the things that are actual, real public health crises 88 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: in this country that no one talks about, can be 89 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: dealt with by battling obesity. I also want to say 90 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: another thing. I used last year to do something in 91 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: earnest that I've always done, but I stepped it up, 92 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:15,280 Speaker 1: and that was to count my blessings. Like you, I 93 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 1: spend a lot of time reading news stories and they're 94 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 1: most of lots of people die of the Clintons rest, 95 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 1: thank you. That's true. Lots of people die of the Clintons'. 96 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: I'm not sure how you avoid that. And that is 97 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 1: counting your blessings. I grew up Southern Baptists. I'm still 98 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,919 Speaker 1: Southern Baptists. And there is a hymnal a hymn that 99 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: we sing. Count your blessings, Name them God, name them 100 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,039 Speaker 1: one by one, count your blessings, see what God hath done. 101 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: And the idea is that no matter what your situation, 102 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: there are things that you can be grateful for, and 103 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: by focusing on those things. Look, I'm not saying you 104 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: shouldn't be informed as to the news of the day. 105 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 1: Biden's an idiot, Kamala Harris is an idiot. The Democrats 106 00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 1: are evil, the media can't be trusted. Big Tech should 107 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: be destroyed, Big Big Farmer should be put on trial. Nuremberg, 108 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: Tristi sty All. That's going to be there, and that's 109 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: not going away. But you cannot let that make you 110 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:16,559 Speaker 1: a miserable person. You cannot let that drag you into 111 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 1: this morass, this mire of a lack of health, because 112 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,359 Speaker 1: there are other people around you that you need to 113 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: be a light for, and you can't be a light 114 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 1: if you're only focused on negative things. Take care of 115 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: your health, take care of your mind. Let twenty twenty 116 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: two be the year you do that final thought, and 117 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: then we'll go to your calls one eight hundred two 118 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: eight two to eight eight two one eight hundred two 119 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,800 Speaker 1: eight two to eight eight two. And that is the 120 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,159 Speaker 1: idea of mentors. If you know anything about sports, let's 121 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:49,360 Speaker 1: take baseball for instance. You know that the great teams 122 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: over the years had great farm teams. They brought players 123 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: up through their their teams. The astros actually built championship 124 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 1: teams out of their farm teams. They took guys at 125 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 1: an early age and they developed them, They mentored them, 126 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: they grew them until they turned out to be all stars. 127 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,120 Speaker 1: I'm sitting where I'm sitting today. I've had every bit 128 00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 1: of success I've had in my life because of mentors. 129 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 1: Because I sought out mentors and because they were willing 130 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,960 Speaker 1: to be my mentor to help me, to invest in me, 131 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: not necessarily money, but emotion and time and energy and 132 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: patience and discipline and scoldings and guidance. I had a 133 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: lot of great mentors. Eddie Martini my mentor, and radio, 134 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: the guy that got me into radio. We're going to 135 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: dinner tonight so that my wife and I can thank 136 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 1: him and his wife, Liz, for the fact that we've 137 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: had this great opportunity because a lot of folks were 138 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: willing to take a chance on us and let us 139 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: do radio. There's only so many slots. As the beauty 140 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: of podcast is, anybody can get into podcasting, but to 141 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: get into radio, there's still only so many slots, and 142 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: it's very competitive. But there were mentors for me in 143 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 1: my legal life and my political life, my real estate life, 144 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 1: in my not so celebrated sporting life. I had mentors 145 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 1: that helped me become a better dad, including my own 146 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: dad and other friends. But just as I've had mentors 147 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: in my life, I am now in a phase that 148 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: I feel like I need to turn around and mentor 149 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: other people. There's a great book out there called The 150 00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: Power of eighteen. It's a guy named Eyall Dannon. I think, 151 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: apparently in Judaism, eighteen has a special meaning, and he 152 00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 1: talks about the phases of your life. Your first eighteen, 153 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,400 Speaker 1: you're the dreamer. You're the explorer. Go out and and 154 00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: you know, figure it all out. Eighteen to thirty six, 155 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 1: try things. Thirty six to fifty four, get really good 156 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: at what you're doing, make your money, be professionally successful. 157 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:48,200 Speaker 1: Then fifty four to seventy two, begin mentoring and bringing 158 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:50,640 Speaker 1: up that next generation, the farm team. In seventy two 159 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: to ninety you're not as productive as you once were, 160 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 1: and that's where you turn. That's the stained glass window phase. 161 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: That's where you turn and help other people. Those are 162 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: my New Year's thoughts, random as they are. Count your blessings. 163 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,880 Speaker 1: Have a mentor, Be a mentor. Set a goal for 164 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:10,959 Speaker 1: your health, mental and physical, to be a better person. 165 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: One eight hundred two eight two to eight eight two. 166 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,080 Speaker 1: I'm Michael Berry. And for Clay Travis and Buck Sexton, 167 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: your calls coming up. Clay and Buck will be back 168 00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,840 Speaker 1: with you on Monday.

What 173 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 1: I'm calling about is I think the Lemmings are playing 174 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: right into the Democrats game plan, which is trompeting Biden's 175 00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: mental decline to the point where they removed him from 176 00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: office and slide Madam vpn Uh. I think that's what 177 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: they're doing. I think we're playing into it. Your thoughts, 178 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: m hmm, Well let's model that out. Will. What do 179 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: they gain with Kamala instead of Biden? Well, that's a 180 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:33,120 Speaker 1: good question. Uh longevity, a little better mental capability. She's 181 00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 1: a minority, she's a female. I mean that's that's their 182 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 1: big thing, is uh diversity, and and you know she's 183 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 1: she's she It's all those I don't care for myself 184 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:51,520 Speaker 1: and I don't think well, thank you for the call. Brother. 185 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 1: Let me see this. Um. Kamala is a is a 186 00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:06,200 Speaker 1: very um. My grandmother, my wife's grandmother's name was Kamala. 187 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: It's actually pronounced Kamla like ku m La in India. 188 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 1: It's an Indian name. Her mother was Indian, but Kamala 189 00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 1: here it works. Kamala is a uniquely unpopular politician. She 190 00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:29,559 Speaker 1: has a way where where sometimes folks go wrong is 191 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: we can't understand how Barack Obama can win an election 192 00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,120 Speaker 1: because we don't like him so much, but you have 193 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:43,679 Speaker 1: to understand his appeal. I don't understand how Marilyn Manson 194 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 1: can pack a room full of people standing on stage 195 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 1: in black nail polish and white makeup, singing stupid stuff. 196 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,600 Speaker 1: But he can, and I have to understand that there 197 00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:00,880 Speaker 1: is an audience for that, and then you begin to understand, 198 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,240 Speaker 1: all right, what is that audience seeking out and what 199 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 1: does he give them? Obama has had a retail appeal. 200 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:16,400 Speaker 1: Bill Clinton had an incredible appeal as a politician and 201 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:19,520 Speaker 1: a staying power, and that's why we couldn't understand why 202 00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: they wouldn't ump him. He was the best they had. 203 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:27,160 Speaker 1: Democrats desperately need a white male who can collect all 204 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: the votes of the minorities but still hold on to 205 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:35,840 Speaker 1: the unions. The unions are the last holdout keeping the 206 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:41,040 Speaker 1: Democrats in power. And the unions have tended to be 207 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: white males in rust belt states. And so you've you've 208 00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:51,079 Speaker 1: got a lot of these white male unions. Steel trucking, 209 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,840 Speaker 1: there's all a lot of them, the longshoreman off the 210 00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 1: coast of California, which, by the way, that contributed to 211 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,000 Speaker 1: the supply chain problem, and nobody he wanted to admit it. 212 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: You've got the teachers union that Randy Weingarten is a 213 00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 1: part of, that's keeping the school's clothes. These things are 214 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 1: incredibly powerful. The union is the most powerful Democrat special 215 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 1: interest that no one ever talks about. If you remove 216 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 1: the unions from the Democrat Party their person, they already 217 00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: do very poorly with white males. They would lose an 218 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,839 Speaker 1: even greater percentage of white males. And now that they've 219 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 1: lost education as the issue as as their issue, they've 220 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 1: Republicans have won that. That's how young can won in Virginia. 221 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 1: Now that they've lost education, with critical race theory and 222 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: these sorts of nutty, wacky, marginal types of people. Then 223 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 1: that's now they're going to lose a lot of white 224 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,760 Speaker 1: suburban women. So the Democrats are in a free fall 225 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: and they know it. Kamala is not the answer, and 226 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: they know that Biden is actually not such a bad 227 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 1: guy in terms of what he does at the polls 228 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 1: for them, because you have to remember what else he's 229 00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 1: out there. First of all, Kamala wasn't around by Iowa. 230 00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,520 Speaker 1: She didn't make it to the first caucus because she 231 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 1: couldn't get off. She couldn't get over one percent. Kamala 232 00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:18,440 Speaker 1: was less popular as a Democrat than Lindsey Graham as 233 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: a Republican. Let me think about that for a moment. 234 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,520 Speaker 1: Statistically that that is true, But who was waiting in 235 00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 1: the wings? You think about Bud a gig. They can 236 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,080 Speaker 1: talk all they want about this this, this real effeminate 237 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: gay guy, and now he's going to be the first 238 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: this and the first get at and he's he's mugging 239 00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 1: down with his husband. But the truth is that's still 240 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 1: not an electoral winner. They'll tell you it is, but 241 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: it's not that will turn off You won't win Pennsylvania. Michigan, Wisconsin, 242 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 1: North Carolina. With that, you won't now you can say 243 00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:56,520 Speaker 1: that's anti gay. Bud a gig wasn't going to do 244 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: it for them. What's the woman that throws books that 245 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: are staff from Minnesota with a horrible Amy Klobuchar. She's 246 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,840 Speaker 1: a non starter. She's ugly, she has an irritating accent, 247 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: and she's angry. She's just one of those everybody. Everybody 248 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: has met that woman. She wants to see the manager. 249 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: She's angry, she's she's the original Karen. I mean, who 250 00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 1: else did they have? Bernie Sanders, a guy who is 251 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:27,640 Speaker 1: an avowed socialist. He doesn't even the guy almost beat 252 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:32,080 Speaker 1: Hillary in sixteen and in there he was in twenty 253 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 1: and they were scared to death of this guy because 254 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:38,040 Speaker 1: he represents that whole nutty wing. But Kamala Harris, she 255 00:15:38,120 --> 00:15:41,120 Speaker 1: said something stupid yesterday. Do you see that? Was it 256 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 1: wrong to consider inflation transitory? I mean, these price spikes 257 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,160 Speaker 1: seem like they're going to be with us for a while. 258 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:51,000 Speaker 1: We have to address the fact that we got to 259 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:53,720 Speaker 1: deal with the fact that folks are paying free gas, 260 00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 1: paying for groceries, and our need solutions to it. So 261 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:02,160 Speaker 1: let's talk about that short term solution includes what we 262 00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 1: need to do around the supply chain. Right, So we 263 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 1: went to the ports of Los Angeles Long Beach. Savantage 264 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 1: Origin said, Hey, guys, no more five days a week, 265 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: eight hours a day, twenty four to seven. Let's move 266 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,520 Speaker 1: the products. Because people need their product. They need what 267 00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 1: they need. We're dealing with it in terms of the 268 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 1: long term, and that's about what we need to do 269 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:25,920 Speaker 1: to pass billback better. It strengthens our economy. What you 270 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 1: just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things 271 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 1: I've ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent 272 00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:39,520 Speaker 1: response were you even close to anything that could be 273 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now 274 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 1: dumber for having listened to it. Michael Berrian for Clay 275 00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,760 Speaker 1: and Buck. They'll be back on Monday. I read earlier 276 00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 1: from a piece by Kaylee McGee white that appeared in 277 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:06,400 Speaker 1: Washington Examiner under the title I was wrong about COVID nineteen, 278 00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 1: and she goes through you know, she defended Fauci, she 279 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 1: thought masks where she But it's important to understand not 280 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,159 Speaker 1: just where you've been wrong in your life. It's important 281 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: to understand why you were wrong. I do a lot 282 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:27,520 Speaker 1: of interviews with successful people in business, and I find 283 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:30,160 Speaker 1: it far more illuminating to ask them what was their 284 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 1: biggest failure than what was your biggest success? Failure is 285 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:39,440 Speaker 1: where we have an opportunity to go back and recognize 286 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 1: our own weaknesses. And it's to me more important that 287 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:48,720 Speaker 1: you understand why you failed than that you failed. Why 288 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 1: did we trust Fauci? If you trusted Fauci because he 289 00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: had all the trappings of the expert, And we have 290 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: been told for years that the experts no more than 291 00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 1: we do. We're just commoners. But the experts have degrees 292 00:18:04,320 --> 00:18:08,639 Speaker 1: and sheep skins and offices and titles and conferences and 293 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 1: lectures and speeches and respects and respect and honorifics, and 294 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:18,200 Speaker 1: so they can't be wrong. If you just think, well, 295 00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 1: I trusted Fauci and he let me down, and you 296 00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:24,800 Speaker 1: don't understand why you trusted him and why you should 297 00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: not have trusted him, or you should have at least 298 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:31,520 Speaker 1: been skeptical, if not downright cynical about his supposed I'm 299 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 1: the science, then it's going to keep happening again. I 300 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:41,240 Speaker 1: think back to when Barack Obama was elected and Rush 301 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: told the story about I think it's New York Times. 302 00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:46,639 Speaker 1: I don't remember who it was. Dean can tell me 303 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 1: that they asked different people to opine as to know 304 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 1: their thoughts on Barack Obama becoming the president. At his 305 00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:01,919 Speaker 1: as Rush used to say, immaculation. And you'll remember what 306 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 1: dominated the media cycle at the time is that Rush 307 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:11,440 Speaker 1: said quote, I hope Obama fails well immediately. The left 308 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: and a lot of Republicans who will continually fall into 309 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:19,679 Speaker 1: this trap, Republicans like the Mitt Romney Republicans. All they 310 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:23,000 Speaker 1: disavowed this. Oh my goodness, this is the kind of division. 311 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,600 Speaker 1: We don't need this as mean sperrited, we should all 312 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: he's the president, we should get behind him, we should 313 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 1: help him succeed. And Rush said no, no, And Rush 314 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:38,679 Speaker 1: stood tall. He was the original target of cancel culture. 315 00:19:38,720 --> 00:19:40,920 Speaker 1: Dean carry in his posted a piece earlier this week 316 00:19:40,920 --> 00:19:44,440 Speaker 1: at clayonbuck dot Com to that exact effect. When Harry 317 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,960 Speaker 1: read in the group the phony soldier issue. They tried 318 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,280 Speaker 1: to They tried to cancel Rush. They tried so many 319 00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 1: times to cancel Rush, and he refused to apologize, and 320 00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 1: he laid out the playbook that Trump ended up carrying 321 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:59,400 Speaker 1: with him to the White House, which is you never apologize, 322 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: and why it was always so hard for the Rhino Republicans, 323 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: the establishment, the RNC, the suburban modeling. Well, did he 324 00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:10,800 Speaker 1: have to be so mean? Yes, yes, you cannot apologize. 325 00:20:11,119 --> 00:20:14,680 Speaker 1: The minute you're apologizing, you're backtracking. When they got you backtracking, 326 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:17,080 Speaker 1: they'll never stop. They'll chase you out of town, they'll 327 00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,200 Speaker 1: run you out and rush. Understood, you have to fight 328 00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:23,720 Speaker 1: them tooth and nail at every turn. When he said 329 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,640 Speaker 1: I hope Obama fails, it is hard to put into 330 00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:32,919 Speaker 1: perspective today because of the debacle that was the abomination 331 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,639 Speaker 1: of Obama's eight years. But at that time there was 332 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 1: such hope. And I'm not talking about just Democrats. I'm 333 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 1: not just talking about blacks. I'm not just talking about 334 00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:46,880 Speaker 1: college kids. I'm talking about Republicans who believed that this 335 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 1: was the moment after that nasty period of divisive politics 336 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 1: of that mean old George W. Bush who couldn't even 337 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 1: say nuclear. He said nuclear, and how can we have 338 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: a president adds a vowel in the middle of two 339 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 1: consecutive consonants. This is embarrassing. He's not sophisticated, he's not smart, 340 00:21:08,040 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: and on and on and on, and George W. Bush 341 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,520 Speaker 1: was was just he was an embarrassment to the nation, 342 00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 1: and we needed this guy that we could project to 343 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,680 Speaker 1: the world that look at us, we're not mean, old 344 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,560 Speaker 1: white men. This is great. We're not gonna have We're 345 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 1: not gonna have contested, nasty, bickering, rancor in our politics anymore. 346 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: We're all gonna get along, right, and Obama was going 347 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 1: to lead us through this. You remember what the La 348 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,720 Speaker 1: Times editorial was. Rush got got criticized for saying this 349 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:44,360 Speaker 1: Barack the magic Negro was not Rush Limbaugh's statement. That 350 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,880 Speaker 1: was an editorial that the La Times wrote that he's 351 00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:52,560 Speaker 1: simply quoted. But again, this keeps happening again and again 352 00:21:52,560 --> 00:21:57,120 Speaker 1: and again, where they misconstrue things. They doctor a photo, 353 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:00,520 Speaker 1: they put it out there, they get everyone pile on 354 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 1: to it, and by the time the truth comes out, 355 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 1: you've moved on down the road. Oh there wasn't Russian collusion, 356 00:22:05,080 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 1: Oh okay. Oh Trump didn't go to the hotel and 357 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 1: have the prostitute. Oh he didn't. Oh okay, all right, 358 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: Oh so Trump didn't do that. Oh I had no idea, 359 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:16,600 Speaker 1: But it's too late. You've moved on like like Harry 360 00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:19,320 Speaker 1: Reid said when he finally admitted, yeah, I didn't have 361 00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 1: the goods on met romnem I lied and he lost 362 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:24,520 Speaker 1: the election and they said, what do you feel bad 363 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,639 Speaker 1: about that? And he said he didn't win, did he? 364 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,040 Speaker 1: I say all that to say this, Rush said, I 365 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,960 Speaker 1: hope Obama fails. And we all eventually chimed in on that. 366 00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 1: But he was the lone ranger at that moment, standing 367 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 1: tall because he knew you could dress up the pig 368 00:22:42,640 --> 00:22:47,000 Speaker 1: that was Barack Obama, but a socialist America hater lurked 369 00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 1: underneath and it was going to come through. And if 370 00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:54,200 Speaker 1: you supported him at his inauguration, if you gave him 371 00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,479 Speaker 1: his first hundred days, if you stood by and allowed that, 372 00:22:57,920 --> 00:23:00,800 Speaker 1: it would give him more line to run with, to 373 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:05,119 Speaker 1: do more damage to the country. Rush understood, even at 374 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 1: this moment of such hope and optimism, you have to 375 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,000 Speaker 1: stop him dead in his tracks, and he did. We 376 00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: have to understand the state is waiting for another COVID 377 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 1: and its climate change, and it's coming. I'm Michael Berry 378 00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 1: in for Clay Travis and Buck Sexton. Well, it is 379 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: now being confirmed that Betty White has passed eighteen days 380 00:23:30,920 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: short of her hundredth birthday. You know, I think there's 381 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: something aspirational for all of us, if not inspirational to 382 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 1: folks who have a second, third, fourth, fifth act in 383 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:50,240 Speaker 1: their post eighties years. You know, you think of Tony Bennett, 384 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:53,360 Speaker 1: for instance, and how much he seemed to be enjoying 385 00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,320 Speaker 1: his time on the stage after all those years he'd 386 00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,399 Speaker 1: sort of been forgotten. I mean, Willie Nelson still seems 387 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: to be really enjoying the fact that he has an 388 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 1: audience at this age. Something about Betty White, you couldn't 389 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 1: dislike the lady. There was something about she was sort 390 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: of the nation's grandma, and she always seems so much 391 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:20,160 Speaker 1: younger than her years and so positive. Rest in peace anyway, 392 00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:25,639 Speaker 1: Let's go to Larry in Louisiana. Larry, where in Louisiana 393 00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 1: are you Punchentoula, Louisiana? All right, okay, all right, what 394 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,679 Speaker 1: you got my man? You were just you were just 395 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: talking to in front about ocean spurns, Mississippi. Yes, yes, 396 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:46,000 Speaker 1: in the old days, that's where Elvis Presley spent his 397 00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:50,200 Speaker 1: summers at the Golf Hills Country Club, where he learned 398 00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:55,399 Speaker 1: to ride horses, waterskiing his first girlfriend. And there's an 399 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:59,520 Speaker 1: Elvis Presley suite at the golf Hills country Club with 400 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 1: of him. Growing up, I did not know that, even 401 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: though I'm something of an elfis note so. And also 402 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: one more thing, Al Campole used to go there. The 403 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 1: name of the restaurant is composed. And there's something that's 404 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,760 Speaker 1: changing about the gold Fields country Club. They just sold 405 00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 1: it to a rich company. And they had an eighteen 406 00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 1: whole golf course. They sold nine holes and built nights houses, 407 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:30,160 Speaker 1: so you can only play golf now, or nine holes 408 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:34,119 Speaker 1: instead of eighteens. Oh wow, there was a are you alfe? 409 00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:38,199 Speaker 1: Are you from Poncitola? Your entire life really from New 410 00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:45,720 Speaker 1: Orleans Mavery area. Oh we're in memory old Mavering. Oh wow, okay. 411 00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:49,520 Speaker 1: My radio mentor Eddie Martini, we're taking him to dinner tonight, 412 00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:54,840 Speaker 1: is from memory. In fact, his brother Danny Martinis was 413 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: a longtime state senator there from from that area. I 414 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,439 Speaker 1: don't know if you know in our teams. Oh well, 415 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:05,120 Speaker 1: there you go. There was a Battle of Ponchatoula during 416 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:08,239 Speaker 1: the American Civil War. The Confederate troops withdrew in the 417 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:13,160 Speaker 1: sixth Michigan Volunteer Infantry regiment occupied the town? What an 418 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:20,680 Speaker 1: interesting How do you pronounce the parish? Tanja pho tanjapahoa? Okay, 419 00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,480 Speaker 1: all right, I when I don't, when I don't already 420 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 1: know how to pronounce a small town or a parish 421 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,399 Speaker 1: in Louisiana, I don't even try it. Because if I 422 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,680 Speaker 1: say Coronde Lay in New Orleans, they'll say, no, it's 423 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: corond Lett. And if I say Conde, they'll say New Orleans, 424 00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:41,040 Speaker 1: they'll say Coronde Lay, They'll whatever. There's always for each 425 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,880 Speaker 1: for each one of these, um you know, two different pronunciations, 426 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: But I love it. I grew up in Southeast Texas, 427 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,359 Speaker 1: and I frequently say that I grew up more in 428 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:54,960 Speaker 1: southwest Louisiana than I did Southeast Texas because all the 429 00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,560 Speaker 1: folks from Louisiana came over. All we had in Orange 430 00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:59,919 Speaker 1: was was chemical row.

He founded professional and everything. But 445 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:58,920 Speaker 1: then this influencer admitted and broadcasted to everyone out there 446 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 1: listening that he was not a voter and he never 447 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,160 Speaker 1: would be a voter. He wasn't going to be a voter. 448 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 1: He never has voted. And there were callers that called in, 449 00:28:08,680 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 1: and there was a guy that had been in the 450 00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:15,359 Speaker 1: military and had fought in World War Two and was 451 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:19,639 Speaker 1: retired and admitted that he has never voted either. I 452 00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,080 Speaker 1: was so hot and bothered I had to take a drive, 453 00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: so I had to get something done at the Department 454 00:28:24,880 --> 00:28:27,720 Speaker 1: of Motor Vehicles in Hendersonville. And when I was in 455 00:28:27,760 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 1: the line, there was over seventy five people. I counted them, 456 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,159 Speaker 1: knew it was going to be about two hours. And 457 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: in the midst of all about the girl beside me 458 00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,920 Speaker 1: asked me if I was a Christian, and I said, yes, 459 00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 1: I'm a Christian. Are you a Christian? And then something 460 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:47,240 Speaker 1: possessed me and I stepped out of wine and I 461 00:28:47,320 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 1: asked loudly how many of people in this line loved 462 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 1: God and phil that they are called according to His purpose? 463 00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:03,240 Speaker 1: And nearly seventy five those people raise their hands and me, 464 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: look at you.
