1 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. So 2 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:13,880 Speaker 1: Michael Very Show is on the air. 3 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 2: Governor, you previously opposed an assault weapons van. But it's 4 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 2: only later in your political career did you change your position. 5 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,479 Speaker 1: Why so, I've become friends with school shooters. And let 6 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,840 Speaker 1: me tell you about my best friend. 7 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,639 Speaker 3: He's a woman boy. Cut its on, my up, my down, 8 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:35,200 Speaker 3: my putton joy. I grew up in small rural Nebraska 9 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 3: count of four hundred town that you rode your bike 10 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 3: with your buddy. 11 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 1: Still the street lights come on, and I'm proud of that. 12 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:42,200 Speaker 4: Service is my best. 13 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 3: He he's my best friend. 14 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 4: I've become friends with school shooters. 15 00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 5: No one before Ross Perot ran for president in ninety two. 16 00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:15,040 Speaker 5: People forget what an impressive effort that was. A reform 17 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:20,760 Speaker 5: minded successful business man. No nonsense, Let's stop talking about 18 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 5: the silly stuff and solve the problems the way you 19 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 5: would do with the business. I had a great deal 20 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 5: of respect for Ross Parrot when Mark White was elected 21 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 5: governor in eighty two. I remember Ross Perot was his 22 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 5: dollar a year guy who came in and just brought 23 00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:49,360 Speaker 5: common sense solutions to educational problems. And I think that 24 00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,000 Speaker 5: most of those educational reforms. Not all, but most of 25 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 5: those were good, higher standards, real consequences. But the important 26 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 5: part there was the same Ross Perot that attempted to 27 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 5: rescue the hostages out of Iran was bringing business principles 28 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:14,240 Speaker 5: and traditional American values. You know, you meet these guys, 29 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 5: they're self made, hard working, no nonsense, solve the problem, 30 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 5: whatever you look like, put the best person in the job. 31 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 1: And we need more of that. 32 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,079 Speaker 5: So a fellow named Joe Penland I first met at 33 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 5: Christ's funeral and he drove over to Orange. We shook hands, 34 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 5: we talked for a minute, and later I was asked 35 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,519 Speaker 5: to partner up with him on KLVI out of Beaumont 36 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 5: on a project that he created call Contract from the 37 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:52,679 Speaker 5: American People. And the idea was, these candidates are all 38 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 5: saying exactly what you want to hear, but there's no 39 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 5: real commitment to do the things that matter, to focus 40 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:02,679 Speaker 5: on the issues that matter and the identity politics. And 41 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 5: then he popped up again at least on my screen. 42 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 5: Our campaign in Beaumont is ongoing. He popped up again 43 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 5: at the Tucker Crosson event where he's one of the sponsors, 44 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 5: and I thought, you know, I'm constantly telling people to 45 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 5: stop hiding from public life. If you are a successful 46 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 5: businessman and start being a person of influence, and you'll 47 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,519 Speaker 5: be surprised what a difference you can make, and asked 48 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 5: him to spend a few minutes with us. 49 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: Joe Penland, welcome to the program. 50 00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 4: Thanks for having me on. 51 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 5: You can find him at Joe from Texas dot com. 52 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 5: It is easier to hide from the spotlight a lot 53 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 5: of people that I say, you know, you have great ideas. 54 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 5: Why don't you get more involved. You don't have to 55 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:46,640 Speaker 5: run for office. You could basically do what you're doing. 56 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 5: What was that moment for you? I know you served 57 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 5: on the school board, but what was that moment for 58 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 5: you where you said, I can't just sit by and 59 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 5: let this country go to hell? 60 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,800 Speaker 4: Well, I guess when the boy got just the doors 61 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 4: came wide open on the border and we see that 62 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 4: being a border state. That rain real true to me. 63 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 4: You know, being in business for fifty years, Michael is 64 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 4: not an easy task, but it's a wonderful experience in 65 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 4: this country. I don't want to see that slip away. 66 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,599 Speaker 4: You know, we need immigration in this country. You know 67 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 4: our birth rate is shrinking as you've talked about before 68 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 4: A lot of people have. We need to do things 69 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 4: in the right way. People need to look at what's 70 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 4: at stake before they just vote. You know, people need 71 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 4: to test the water before you dive in, so to speak, 72 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,039 Speaker 4: All those those sayings come true when I think about 73 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 4: America today. You know, coming up in Frisco, Texas in 74 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 4: the fifties, working in the cotton fields, dad had a stroke. 75 00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 4: We were very poor, had a hard time making it, 76 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 4: but we made it because Mom was there. She loved it. 77 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,359 Speaker 4: She took care of us, and she put took on 78 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 4: extra work. And it taught me then that if I 79 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 4: was going to get a head in life and get 80 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,040 Speaker 4: off of that bad street of was on, that I 81 00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 4: had to work. There was no handouts seventy years ago, 82 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,920 Speaker 4: when I was born nineteen fifteen. For seventy four years ago, 83 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 4: it was no handouts, and we were so proud to 84 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 4: just have anything, make anything, make it ourselves. You talked 85 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,040 Speaker 4: about ross Paro. I think about Rossboro a lot. Being 86 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,280 Speaker 4: a fellow Texan did not want to be president of 87 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 4: the United States. I have a real close friend, the 88 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:30,520 Speaker 4: former Comptroller General of the United States, Dave Walker, who 89 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 4: is close friends with Ross PuO, very close friends. Actually 90 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 4: was in the last interview that he had. Those are 91 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 4: all great people. You look at Walnald Reagan what he 92 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 4: did when so Security was running out, and I just 93 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 4: start looking because I'm a so Security child, and all 94 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 4: these things started mounting up. Michael to me and I said, 95 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:52,279 Speaker 4: you know what, You've made it in the best country 96 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 4: in the world, no doubt, by far, nobody can ever 97 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 4: come close to this country. I made it from nothing 98 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 4: to what I am today, and I can give back 99 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,919 Speaker 4: and I can help a few thousand people, Michael, in 100 00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 4: our area. But the only way to help millions of 101 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 4: people is we have to get Donald Trump elected as president. 102 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 4: He's got to get back in the White House, get 103 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 4: some common sense back into Washington. We have to have 104 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 4: JD go to the University of Trump for four years, 105 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 4: learn all he can, and stay another eight so we 106 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 4: can have twelve years to try to get some common 107 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 4: sense back in this country, because we're going to run 108 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 4: off the cliff if we don't. I can't sit on 109 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:34,280 Speaker 4: the porch. I use George Jones as my music when 110 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 4: I come out talking. When I was opening for Tucker 111 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,560 Speaker 4: because I'm gray hair, but I'm not ready for the 112 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 4: rocking chair. I've got to do something to give back 113 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:43,200 Speaker 4: to this great country. 114 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 5: You know, you got me thinking about that song, and 115 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,480 Speaker 5: I'm sure you know the story, but they performed that 116 00:06:55,960 --> 00:07:00,839 Speaker 5: at the Country Music Awards the year that it came out, 117 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 5: and it was kind. 118 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 1: Of his. 119 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 5: Middle finger to the industry, to the labels and all 120 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:11,160 Speaker 5: that were putting him out to pasture. And I think 121 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 5: that happens a lot in our society. The first time 122 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,200 Speaker 5: I went to India with my wife was December of 123 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 5: nineteen ninety and I was. 124 00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:21,560 Speaker 1: Amazed what. 125 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 5: Degree of respect Indians have for older folks in their country, 126 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 5: because it's understood that that is wisdom and experience and knowledge. 127 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 5: And I've thought about this for thirty five years now, 128 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 5: and the trend has escalated. We have become a society, 129 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 5: to quote Oscar Wild, youth has wasted on the young. 130 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 5: We have become a nation that is obsessed with young people. 131 00:07:56,240 --> 00:08:03,640 Speaker 5: And social media escalated this because it reaffirmed everything that 132 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 5: is awful about the high school herd mentality, and so 133 00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:13,120 Speaker 5: the Kardashians and the call herd daddy in all of 134 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 5: this is it is an accelerated version of the opposite 135 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 5: of what you just talked about guys like you. There's 136 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 5: a guy named Victor Perez who is the who like you. 137 00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 5: After a successful business career, stepped up and served as 138 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 5: the president of the Katie ISD school Board and does 139 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 5: a great job. And guess what, he's not trying to 140 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 5: launch to the next position. Joe Penland, hang with us. 141 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,280 Speaker 5: It's Joe for Texas dot Com. You can read the contract. 142 00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:47,679 Speaker 5: It's none of the silly fluff.

But if you know, 154 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:21,280 Speaker 1: you know. 155 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:29,480 Speaker 5: The website is Joe from Texas dot Com. We do 156 00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 5: a little duo campaign for Beaumont that we recorded to 157 00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 5: ask people to go to the website, read it and 158 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 5: if it's something you support, spread the message. It's called 159 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 5: the contract from the American People. Joe, what was the 160 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 5: idea behind that. 161 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 4: Well, you know, we looked at things that I think 162 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 4: are the most important things to America today, and this 163 00:09:54,320 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 4: came from a study that Dave Walker did at Rossboro funded. 164 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:05,040 Speaker 4: And the people are really way way ahead of the politicians, Michael. 165 00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 4: The politicians think we're all in the dark or not. 166 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 4: We understand problems, We understand things are not like they 167 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 4: work ten, fifteen, twenty years ago, and we understand we 168 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 4: need to have some changes. And that's why I went 169 00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,839 Speaker 4: on this tour with Tucker Calson. I wanted to get 170 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 4: myself out there in front of people and see if 171 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 4: I could talk to people. What could I resonate with them? 172 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 4: Would they would they understand what I was talking about 173 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 4: when I just got right down and talked on what 174 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,280 Speaker 4: I call my level. I struggled to get out of 175 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:37,320 Speaker 4: high school. I made it through twelve years and that 176 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 4: was enough and I went out and got to work. 177 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 4: And thank god I didn't have the money to go 178 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,440 Speaker 4: to college, because I don't know what I've amounted to 179 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,920 Speaker 4: if I have. But this is what America's about. So 180 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,200 Speaker 4: I got out on that tour to listen to people 181 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 4: and talk to people and stand there in front of 182 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 4: ten or twelve thousand people and tell them a short 183 00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 4: story about my life and how we could help people 184 00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 4: that are enduring that kind of pain today. I was 185 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,640 Speaker 4: so amazed at when people would come up to me 186 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,440 Speaker 4: and line up after every show and want to talk 187 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,000 Speaker 4: and tell me how much they appreciate the story and 188 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 4: how much it resonated with them. And a man and 189 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:17,480 Speaker 4: woman walked up to me in Pennsylvania said, Joe, thank 190 00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:20,040 Speaker 4: you for the story. The lady was crying so that 191 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 4: it just moved me. She said, I'm going to vote 192 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,760 Speaker 4: for Donald Trump now, just by what you said. And 193 00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 4: you told us that's the only way we can save 194 00:11:27,960 --> 00:11:31,280 Speaker 4: our country and save Social Security and the other things 195 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 4: that are dear to us today. So I've been on 196 00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,360 Speaker 4: the line, said my husband's been telling me this is 197 00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 4: the way we got to go. And I said, well, 198 00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 4: that's great. I'm glad that you that you see the 199 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:45,520 Speaker 4: light that it doesn't matter is that a man of woman, black, white, 200 00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,079 Speaker 4: that's not the issue. Who's the best for the job, 201 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 4: who's the best surgeon for the job, who's the best 202 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:54,200 Speaker 4: teacher for your children? We got to look at what's 203 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 4: good for us, not well, you just don't like this, 204 00:11:57,559 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 4: or you just don't like that. Michael. I hear you 205 00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 4: talk about that a lot. But people just get there 206 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,440 Speaker 4: wearing their feelings on their shoulder, to the point that 207 00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 4: they're going to their family do without. I had another 208 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 4: woman walk up to me. She said, Joe, I know 209 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 4: Donald Trump's the right guy, There's no two ways about it. 210 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:16,719 Speaker 4: I know he's the business guy and he's who we 211 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,679 Speaker 4: need to leave this country. But I can't warm up 212 00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:21,840 Speaker 4: to him. I saw, ma'am. I said, let me ask 213 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 4: you this. Do you dislike Trump more than you love 214 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 4: your family or this country? She said absolutely not. I said, 215 00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:32,240 Speaker 4: then you've answered your own question. We need to do 216 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 4: what's right for America. Time is running out. Social Security 217 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,080 Speaker 4: will go broke in less than nine years, and there's 218 00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 4: seventy million of you. When I was looking at her 219 00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:43,480 Speaker 4: talking to her on social Security, I said, I'm on 220 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,960 Speaker 4: social Security. I said, can you stand at twenty five 221 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,120 Speaker 4: percent cutting? Ma'm She said no, I'm barely making it now. 222 00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 4: Is that what this is all about? I said, just, ma'am, 223 00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 4: it is. We have to save the economy we have. 224 00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 4: We got national security problems today. There's a lot of 225 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 4: hot buttons across this country to day that the politicians 226 00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 4: like to fester up on two things we have to 227 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 4: always stay steadfast on is our national security and our finances. 228 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,400 Speaker 4: And the only way we can have a strong military 229 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:18,120 Speaker 4: is strong finances. You know, we're boring money from China, Japan, 230 00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:23,559 Speaker 4: foreign countries. China is aligning ourselves with Russian Iran. I mean, 231 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,400 Speaker 4: we're really on the brink of going over the cliff 232 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 4: we formed out our national security not drilling in this country. 233 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,439 Speaker 4: If there was a blueprint Michael on how to destroy 234 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 4: the greatest country in the world, they're reading it on 235 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:42,240 Speaker 4: Pennsylvania Avenue right now. And I hope right now that 236 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 4: there's not just another version of it laying on the 237 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 4: desk for her to read. We have got to change 238 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 4: who lives in the White House or this country is 239 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:53,440 Speaker 4: in a lot of trouble. I'm not just blowing a 240 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:55,680 Speaker 4: lot of hot air and telling people to get scared 241 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 4: and all that. You should have already been scared when 242 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 4: your border got opened, should already been scared when they 243 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 4: quit drill in this country. How are we going to 244 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,840 Speaker 4: win a war if we can't fuel our tanks in 245 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,560 Speaker 4: our military. I mean, we have completely lost our way 246 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 4: in this country, and it's all because of Facebook and 247 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 4: television and all this, and you hear this and hear that. 248 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,839 Speaker 4: The truth is this. I wanted to talk to the 249 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 4: American people, and the only way I could do it, 250 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,840 Speaker 4: to talk to thousands of people, was to go on 251 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 4: this tour with Tucker Callson. My CPA and lawyer told 252 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,760 Speaker 4: me the last thing, do not mention Donald Trump or 253 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 4: jd Vance or anything about the election. You are a sponsor. 254 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 4: If you say anything about that, you fund this yourself. 255 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,760 Speaker 4: First thing I'd done is said something about Donald Trump. 256 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 4: It was my platform and I used it, and I'm 257 00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,520 Speaker 4: so happy I did. I met a lot of great people, 258 00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 4: a lot of great Americans. They're just like me and 259 00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 4: you and your mom and dad. They know what's best 260 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:56,560 Speaker 4: for this country, and they love this country. And they're scared. 261 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 4: They're all scared right now. 262 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: They are. 263 00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 5: And I think it is when people are down, when 264 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 5: things get bad. Alcoholics know this, Gambling addicts know this. 265 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,320 Speaker 5: People that get so fat they can't leave the bed 266 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 5: know this. Sometimes things have to get so. 267 00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: Bad before people are moved to action. 268 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 5: And my hope is we have reached that point, because 269 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,560 Speaker 5: they can also go so far that you can't fix it. 270 00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:37,240 Speaker 1: And this is a mess. 271 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:42,080 Speaker 5: Deporting these people, dealing with the problems we've inherited, the 272 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 5: problems with our criminal justice system, the people that are 273 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 5: in place. It isn't It's going to be a real mess. 274 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 5: It is going to be an absolute mess. 275 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: To deal with. An absolute mess.

Two weeks 283 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,680 Speaker 4: later we didn't have enough to eat. My mom took 284 00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 4: in laundry and did the very best she could, and 285 00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:21,880 Speaker 4: we took odd jobs and a little bit later he 286 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:26,320 Speaker 4: passed away.

My wife keeps reminding me, and it 344 00:19:47,080 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 5: was bad, it was rough. But on the way up 345 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 5: to the conference, Chance was kind enough to drive me 346 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:57,640 Speaker 5: in his new cyber truck. And I had been warned 347 00:19:57,640 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 5: by Emily, you realize people are going to be flipping 348 00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,919 Speaker 5: you off the whole way. And I said, look, I 349 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 5: think those things are as ugly as the next guy. 350 00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 5: But who's going to bother to flip somebody off because 351 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,240 Speaker 5: what they're driving. She said, I'm telling you people are 352 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,520 Speaker 5: going to flip you off on the way. So anyway, 353 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:18,200 Speaker 5: we get there and it's as hideous as you would imagine. 354 00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 5: I mean they really are. They're god awful ugly. They're 355 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:28,600 Speaker 5: more ugly than you can imagine. They are oppressively ugly. 356 00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:34,000 Speaker 5: I said to him, I said, Chance, this thing reminds 357 00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 5: me of something that people the Russian occupiers in Hungary 358 00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:45,080 Speaker 5: would drive in nineteen fifty six. And he goes, yeah, 359 00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,480 Speaker 5: I get that. And Chance doesn't care, like he's not 360 00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:50,440 Speaker 5: out to impress anybody. He loves his cyber truck. 361 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:51,640 Speaker 1: And I will tell you. 362 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,640 Speaker 5: There are some elements to his cyber truck that I say, 363 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:57,680 Speaker 5: gm Ford ch. 364 00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 1: Shame on you. How did you let these people figure 365 00:21:01,480 --> 00:21:02,760 Speaker 1: out how to do this? 366 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 5: This guy's been in the business for a few years. 367 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 5: Because it's really it's really an iPad with a car attached, right, 368 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 5: That's what it is. It's an electronic device. But for instance, 369 00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 5: you can set it to speed limit and whatever the 370 00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 5: speed limit goes up or down, it just stays, so 371 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:26,879 Speaker 5: it's cruise control on steroids. There were some things about 372 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:30,920 Speaker 5: it that I must admit were really, really, really impressive. 373 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 5: I'm not an electric car guy, never have been, never 374 00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:39,080 Speaker 5: will be. Don't think they're the future. I'm not, but 375 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,360 Speaker 5: I no longer feel the need to shame people who are. 376 00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,240 Speaker 5: And Chance is and that's his own deal. He loves 377 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 5: his cyber truck. You can't make him not love his 378 00:21:48,640 --> 00:21:52,160 Speaker 5: cyber truck. It's also a bunch of gadgets, and things 379 00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:54,719 Speaker 5: with a bunch of gadgets make me nervous. I mean, 380 00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,880 Speaker 5: even my phone has Why do I have to keep 381 00:21:56,920 --> 00:22:02,120 Speaker 5: updating this thing? I just want a phone. But here 382 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:02,919 Speaker 5: is the reason. 383 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: The electric car will never take over. 384 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:10,879 Speaker 5: It's a gimmick. Electric cars are for people to drive 385 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 5: as their second vehicle, and that's what most people do. 386 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,000 Speaker 5: It's a neat little thing to do on the weekend. 387 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:24,440 Speaker 5: It is not your primary vehicle. Here's another reason there's 388 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 5: a problem with electric vehicles. Florida officials warn that salt 389 00:22:30,080 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 5: water from the Hurricane Helene storm can compromise lithium ion batteries, 390 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:41,720 Speaker 5: creating a fire hazard. It's already resulted in several fires, 391 00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 5: with one house burning down due to an electric vehicle. 392 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 5: Here's Florida's Chief financial officer, Jimmy Patronis. 393 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 3: This is a storm surge event. This was not as 394 00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:58,040 Speaker 3: much a windstorm, but a storm surge. One of the 395 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 3: threads that we're very concerned with as lithium ion battery technologies. 396 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 3: That's evs, golf carts, you know, scooters. These devices do 397 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,840 Speaker 3: not mix well with salt water. We've had sixteen fires 398 00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 3: already in the Penelas Tampa Bay area from EV related 399 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,440 Speaker 3: flood effects where the device has caught fire, and we 400 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,160 Speaker 3: had some circumstances where the house is actually burned down. 401 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 3: The evs, about six of them so far, have set 402 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 3: houses on fire. If you own an EV, if it 403 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,480 Speaker 3: did have flooding. The best thing you can do is 404 00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 3: call your insurance company and then have it towed away. 405 00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:36,399 Speaker 3: The tow truck operators will have a safe place to 406 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,320 Speaker 3: take it while your claim is being settled. But what 407 00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:43,240 Speaker 3: you don't want to risk is that lithium ion battery 408 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 3: to product in your garage on charge and down the 409 00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:51,000 Speaker 3: powers turned back on, it creates what's called a thermal runaway. 410 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,880 Speaker 3: That means it will burn until it doesn't have any 411 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:57,280 Speaker 3: fuel left. You can't put it out with water. Ultimately, 412 00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 3: that could lead to harming you, your household or a 413 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 3: first responder. So please understand those items and salt water 414 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:07,520 Speaker 3: do not mix, and you need to take an extra 415 00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 3: precaution as we have already had a series of fires 416 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,240 Speaker 3: that are lithium ion battery related. 417 00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:18,160 Speaker 5: Yeah, you electric car drivers, you're killing grandma. 418 00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,920 Speaker 1: You're killing grandma. Phase of the COVID crisis. Well, that 419 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:22,879 Speaker 1: was something else, wasn't it. 420 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 3: Mom? 421 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: Should we take calls? 422 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 5: It was a very serious first hour in can of serious. 423 00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:29,879 Speaker 5: Now I think we should take some calls. Seven one three, 424 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 5: nine nine, nine one thousand. 425 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 2: You previously opposed an assault weapons van, but it only 426 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,119 Speaker 2: later in your political career did you change your position 427 00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:38,800 Speaker 2: wide Markel. 428 00:24:38,560 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 5: Barry shall become friends with school shooters. 429 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:53,120 Speaker 1: I need to be better off. Well, we got another 430 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:54,120 Speaker 1: one of these cases. 431 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 5: Another woman has been arrested for practicing dentistry without a license. 432 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 1: You know this pushes a. 433 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:14,359 Speaker 5: Lot of different, somewhat contradictory buttons. First of all, I 434 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,400 Speaker 5: think you got to get the government out of everything, 435 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 5: zero based budgeting and regulation and start over. It's funny 436 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 5: to me sometimes you'll be in the backyard having a 437 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 5: cigar and a beer a bourbon with some friends and 438 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,600 Speaker 5: some I say, I think I'm gonna get some tenner 439 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:43,159 Speaker 5: writing blow sipping my I'm and people will immediately begin thinking. 440 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,199 Speaker 1: About whether you can do that or not. 441 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:52,040 Speaker 5: Like we're twelve, Remember when you'd go for a bike 442 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 5: ride when your buddies, with your buddies, and if it 443 00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 5: was during the summer, and you started out early, and 444 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 5: you get along away from home, and you'd go somewhere 445 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 5: that you'd never been unless your parents had driven you there. 446 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:06,480 Speaker 1: And you're on your bike and you make it to 447 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,480 Speaker 1: the mall. Whoa, we're at the mall. 448 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 5: We didn't have a mall in Orange, but we had 449 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,880 Speaker 5: a little strip center and you'd be all the way 450 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:16,439 Speaker 5: in town. You'd be on your bike and didn't have 451 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 5: a dollar to your name, but it didn't matter. 452 00:26:18,760 --> 00:26:19,360 Speaker 1: You were there. 453 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 5: Look at us, we're in control of our own lives. 454 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 5: We don't have to sit in the back. We're just right. 455 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:27,239 Speaker 5: And you're just looking at your bike like, yeah, he's 456 00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,639 Speaker 5: looking over at them, like y'all were an easy rider 457 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 5: there you were what was his name? 458 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,119 Speaker 1: Dennis Quaid?

And who else? Who? Henry Fonda? 461 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,639 Speaker 5: You felt like you were that guy even if you 462 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 5: didn't have a chopper bicyble. 463 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 1: You were riding. 464 00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:53,919 Speaker 5: Around and you were into well for me because we 465 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,640 Speaker 5: lived outside of town. So when you were in town 466 00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:00,000 Speaker 5: on your bike, you were there. Could nobody control you. 467 00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 5: Look at us, we're big boys. Not a penny to 468 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,240 Speaker 5: our name to even buy you who. But there we 469 00:27:06,240 --> 00:27:13,880 Speaker 5: were so being resourceful. You start picking up trash, Hey, 470 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,480 Speaker 5: the convenience store or one of the little shops, especially 471 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 5: if it was woman owned, she'd feel sorry for you. 472 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,400 Speaker 1: Hey, we're trying to make a little money. Go buy 473 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 1: you who? 474 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,800 Speaker 5: And a payday bar. Could we pick up trash out front? 475 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,639 Speaker 5: I don't think I ever got turned down on the 476 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:36,359 Speaker 5: pickup trash. We used to do the Recycled Kens project, 477 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 5: but that didn't pay very well. You know, that was 478 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:43,320 Speaker 5: one of those that somebody's mom would always suggest you 479 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:46,440 Speaker 5: do to go make some money, but that never really 480 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:49,120 Speaker 5: paid well. Can we pick up some trash? I could 481 00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 5: always make money around the neighborhood washing cars, because nobody 482 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 5: really wants to wash their car. But the point is, 483 00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 5: I don't think the government ought to be in the 484 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,280 Speaker 5: business of telling people what they can and cannot do, 485 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:07,080 Speaker 5: and all these licenses and all that. That being said, 486 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 5: it is pretty funny to me how you've got these 487 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:16,280 Speaker 5: people that are career criminals and someone else is going 488 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 5: to them for dental work. 489 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:19,800 Speaker 1: Fox twenty six with a. 490 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:23,119 Speaker 6: Story I didn't think I'd ever see another defendant like 491 00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:24,160 Speaker 6: Aubrey Davis. 492 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,679 Speaker 4: Remember we did the bailbond Queen that we nicknamed Aubrey 493 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 4: Day when we nicknamed it here the bail bond Queen. 494 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,680 Speaker 1: She makes Aubrey Davis look like a minor leaguer. 495 00:28:33,040 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 6: She is forty one year old, one out of Solomon. 496 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 6: How many convictions does one out of Solomon have ten. 497 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 6: Solomon is serving probation in both Harris and Galveston Counties. 498 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 6: She's been on probation since twenty twenty one, but she's 499 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 6: done nothing. When I looked at him, going good god girl, 500 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 6: you violated every single condition of your probation. 501 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 3: One out of Solomon. 502 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 5: Define continues to pick up new charges as time goes on. 503 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,800 Speaker 6: And while serving twoations. 504 00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 3: Aggravated assault with a daily weapon and the other is 505 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 3: for unlawfully carrying a weapon with a prior felony conviction. 506 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 6: Just to dame, a few motions are found to revoke 507 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,720 Speaker 6: Solomon's probation and put her back in prison. Well, she's 508 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:16,240 Speaker 6: been a few times, but that's not what happens.
