1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,640 Speaker 1: I will post to my Facebook page and we will 2 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:08,960 Speaker 1: post to our blast. I don't know if I'll make 3 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:11,640 Speaker 1: it by today on the blast, but by tomorrow beyond 4 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 1: the blast, early voting has begun for the November election, 5 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:22,480 Speaker 1: which includes a number of things, including the propositions, and 6 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 1: I will have a voter guide for you. I just 7 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 1: need a little bit of time to finish that sometime today. 8 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:33,040 Speaker 1: So keep an eye on our Facebook page and if 9 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,280 Speaker 1: if you get our daily blast, you'll get it in 10 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,520 Speaker 1: the form of the blast, and that'll be every day 11 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,240 Speaker 1: up until election Day, and that'll probably be tomorrow because 12 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:43,680 Speaker 1: I don't think I'm gonna have a chance to get it. 13 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,239 Speaker 1: To get it done between eleven when we finish and 14 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:49,360 Speaker 1: when it goes out. Quick call, and then I'm going 15 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 1: to need your assistance on something. Let's go to Eve. 16 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: You're on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead here, Eve, 17 00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 1: that is something wrong, Eve. Let's see Eve. Are you there? 18 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: I think we've lost Eve. All right, well, then we 19 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:17,840 Speaker 1: will move on unless Eve calls back. I got an 20 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: email during the break that got me thinking about something, 21 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 1: and it comes from our friend Chance McLean and he said, 22 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 1: you're talking about recruiting for no Kings. They don't just 23 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: recruit people to No Kings rallies at concerts. I think 24 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: you know, as I think you know. I've been a 25 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,600 Speaker 1: fan of the band My Chemical Romance for twenty years. 26 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 1: I cannot explain my love of them. I certainly don't 27 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: agree with their messaging, but I really like their music, 28 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 1: all of it, even the screaming stuff. I just cannot 29 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 1: explain it. I've been to see them in concert many times, 30 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: most recently a couple of years ago. It was at 31 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: the Toyota Center, and they had people registering concert attendees 32 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: to vote all over the place, hundreds of them. The 33 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: type of people that will go to a My Chemical 34 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: Romance concert tend to vote one way. You can tell 35 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 1: what it would be. When they asked me if I 36 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,359 Speaker 1: was registered, I let them know that yes I am. 37 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: And that's probably not in line for what you're hoping for. 38 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,799 Speaker 1: But is our side doing that? Do we have hundreds 39 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 1: of people registering people to vote at Pat Green concerts? 40 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 1: Never mind his personal wonky politics? The people who go 41 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,520 Speaker 1: to the concerts. Are we registering people to vote at 42 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 1: Monster Truck shows? And I got to thinking, you're right, 43 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: you know, twenty five years ago. When I first ran 44 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: for city council. One of the things I noticed was 45 00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: how much better at the grassroots the Democrats were than 46 00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: the Republicans. And that gap has widened, not narrowed. I 47 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 1: would be invited to speak at black churches and I 48 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: would do in a Sunday morning. I had the guy 49 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: who scheduled Chila Jackson Lee's church program. He was her 50 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,119 Speaker 1: chief of staff. I hired him away first black vice 51 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,640 Speaker 1: president of the state Democrat Party, Carl Davis, the best 52 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,200 Speaker 1: in the business, and I hired him to work for me. 53 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 1: And let me tell you something, I never in twenty 54 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 1: five years, I've never seen a Republican as good at 55 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 1: what Karl does for Democrats as Karl is for Democrats. 56 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: And to this day it is still a scar on 57 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,440 Speaker 1: his career that he worked with me and we were 58 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: so successful because he did and we were. He would 59 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: set me up to speak at a church that started 60 00:03:55,720 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: early whatever, that was seven point thirty, and have it 61 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,080 Speaker 1: have a schedule on Sunday morning. But he picked me 62 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: up and nothing. I got in the car. He would 63 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: hand me a sheet and I would read through it. 64 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: This is whose church we're going to. Here's the pastor. 65 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: Here's the history of the church. This is a Kojik church, 66 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: or this is a Pentecostal church, or this is a 67 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: United Methodist church. Here's the pastor, here's his history. Here's 68 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: the first lady's name. Blah blah blah. This is how 69 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: long you're going to speak. This is where you and 70 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,039 Speaker 1: he would have it arranged where when we pulled up 71 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,920 Speaker 1: to be somebody out waiting, like we were some vip 72 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,479 Speaker 1: I was a candidate running for city council. We'd pull 73 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 1: up to be somebody waiting with waiting to stand with 74 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: the car. They would escort us in. Pastor would interrupt 75 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,520 Speaker 1: whatever he was doing, bring us up on stage. I 76 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: would say my piece. He would embrace me. That's important. 77 00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 1: I would leave you hold one finger up like we're 78 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 1: number one, as you duck down, saying I'm sorry, but 79 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,719 Speaker 1: we're leaving. I know, you know, don't want to be disrespectful, 80 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: Like if you're walking somebody's taking a photo and you're 81 00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:05,400 Speaker 1: already walking, you'll kind of duck down and give this 82 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: message like oh I didn't say do that, go out, 83 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 1: get in the car onto the next one. We'd hit 84 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,920 Speaker 1: six churches a Sunday Sunday morning. Then we'd go get 85 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 1: You couldn't get as many in the evenings because it's 86 00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 1: not as many people holding a church service and not 87 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 1: as long in the evening. Every single Sunday, we came 88 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: out of nobody in this town knew my name to 89 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:29,720 Speaker 1: winning a citywide election, the first Republican to ever do 90 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:35,720 Speaker 1: that in the city of Houston. And it was shoe leather, grassroots, 91 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: hard work, strategic because guess what, there are lots of 92 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,479 Speaker 1: votes in the black churches, and the pastors will allow 93 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 1: you to get up and speak. It's incredible. I mean, 94 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 1: it's just it's amazing. You'd call the traditional big Republican 95 00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:03,039 Speaker 1: white churches, we can't have anybody speak here. Why not, 96 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: we'll lose our tax free status. You're going to lose 97 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,839 Speaker 1: your tax free status when Democrats take over. But we'll 98 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 1: leave that for another day. But what I noticed in 99 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:20,479 Speaker 1: those years of campaigning like that is that everywhere I went, 100 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:26,200 Speaker 1: the Democrats were registering voters. Went to a game at TSU, 101 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: and by the way, if you don't get shot, because 102 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: there are lots of shootings at these schools, we don't 103 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: get shot. The halftime show at the TSU, the ocean 104 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: of soul is something to behold the whole New world 105 00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:42,279 Speaker 1: to me. But you would go to places like black churches, 106 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: you'd go to places like if there was a carnival, 107 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: if there was anything that had a likelihood that these 108 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 1: were Democrat voters. They were registering voters. And that takes effort. 109 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: It's a logistics effort. So my question to you is 110 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,000 Speaker 1: where it. By the way, money has to be spent, 111 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,920 Speaker 1: shoe leather has to be burned, people have to be deployed. 112 00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 1: But if you were to say, what are some what 113 00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: are some underground places that are Republican rich that we 114 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: should be registering voters that you go, that's you ought 115 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: to stand out front. Anybody wants to register a register 116 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,920 Speaker 1: right there, because if you're showing up at a monster 117 00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: truck show, I don't know that's where you would get voters. 118 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: Republican voters most likely to register seven one three nine 119 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,240 Speaker 1: nine nine one thousand, seven one three nine nine nine 120 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: one thousand, seven one three nine nine nine one thousand 121 00:07:56,160 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: You will sleep like a bit. Just saw a video 122 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: during the break that was Joe Biden during COVID where 123 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: he said, remember if you're fully vaccinated and up to 124 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: date on your boosters. You are allowed to celebrate the 125 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,840 Speaker 1: fourth of July. If you're vaccinated. You can even have 126 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: a backyard barbecue, as long as the number of guests 127 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: is five or less. Those those were the rules that 128 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,760 Speaker 1: King Biden had issued. But only if you were vaccinated 129 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,559 Speaker 1: and up to date on your boosters, then you could 130 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,240 Speaker 1: you could, you could celebrate the fourth of July. In fact, 131 00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: he was even going to let you have a backyard barbecue, 132 00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,360 Speaker 1: but no more than five guests. That would be just 133 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: we've got rules here. He can have rules. King can 134 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: have rules. So my friend Chance mclan goes to a 135 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,440 Speaker 1: my Chemical Romance concert. He admits that's kind of an 136 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: odd genre for him to like, but he likes it unapologetically. 137 00:08:55,800 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: And they're registering voters. Which musicians do this. They do 138 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 1: this a lot at concerts, which is where historically you 139 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: would get Democrat voters. And so the question was where 140 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 1: should Republicans do that. What are the target rich environments 141 00:09:12,880 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 1: where you get folks to register to vote that are 142 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 1: most likely to vote the way we want them to vote? 143 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,000 Speaker 1: Mark Europe, sir. 144 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 2: Hey, Michael Barrett's honor to speak with you, sir, Yes, Sir, 145 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 2: I would say the best place I can think of 146 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:33,240 Speaker 2: would be any boat show. That's where you're going to 147 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:37,679 Speaker 2: find the Republicans with a little sense about them. 148 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: What percentage of people going to the boat show would 149 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 1: you guess would vote Republicans? 150 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 2: Oh, one hundred percent. Republicans are the boat owners around here? 151 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say one hundred percent because there's always that outlier, 152 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,679 Speaker 1: weird duo that you wonder why he does what he does. 153 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,559 Speaker 1: But I bet yeah, I didn't even think about that 154 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: boat show? Is do you go to the boat show? 155 00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:06,120 Speaker 2: I try to avoid it, you know, the candy, but 156 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 2: but I do join one or two here and there. 157 00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: Do you own a boat? 158 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,000 Speaker 3: I do? 159 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 1: Do you feel? Do you fear if you go to 160 00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:16,839 Speaker 1: the boat show that you'll up you'll upgrade your boat? 161 00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 1: Is that the worry? 162 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:19,880 Speaker 2: Oh, it's very tempting. 163 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: It's hard not to What kind of boat do you have. 164 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 2: A little fishing boat? A little bass boat? 165 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: Okay? And where do you fish Lake Conroe? And how 166 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 1: often would you guess you fish? 167 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,560 Speaker 2: Not often as I'd like, but you know, at least 168 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 2: get out once a month or so. 169 00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: Do you do you have a son, a friend, a wife? 170 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,360 Speaker 1: Is there somebody you take out with you. 171 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 2: I've got a little boy. He's not quite ready to fish, 172 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,520 Speaker 2: he's only two, but I'm, you know, trying to get practiced. 173 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:54,559 Speaker 2: So when he's ready, you know, daddy's got got the knowledge. 174 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's the guy who fishes alone. That's the 175 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: real hardcore fisherman. I went to school with a guy 176 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: named Craig Quarter. He was a year ahead of me, 177 00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: and Craig's dad was probably one of the reasons I 178 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 1: went into radio without realizing. His dad was known as BBRC, 179 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: which stood for Big Boy Richard Carter, and he was 180 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,839 Speaker 1: on KOGT, which a guy I also went to school with. 181 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,560 Speaker 1: He was a little older than me named Gary Stelly 182 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 1: ended up buying and KOGT was the voice of Orange 183 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: and it was a very Orange centric station, and we 184 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: loved this station. And BBRC was the morning personality and 185 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: he would play songs and talk in between, and he 186 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: talk about his kids. And Craig was an All State 187 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:39,440 Speaker 1: offensive lineman well as was his older brother Bart, year 188 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 1: or two ahead of him. And Craig will sometimes post 189 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 1: to Facebook a picture of himself. I don't know if 190 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: it's Dan b to let him be in where exactly 191 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: he is that he's fishing. It says it on there, 192 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,400 Speaker 1: but he has like a time lapse photography camera that 193 00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: he sets out and it's just him out there fishing, 194 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: and he'll be out there when he went to clear 195 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,959 Speaker 1: his head. He'll be out there for a week by himself, 196 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:08,280 Speaker 1: fishing all day long. That is a real fisherman. 197 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:08,920 Speaker 4: You know. 198 00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 1: I think some guys fish to get away from their wife, 199 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,560 Speaker 1: or they fish to get away from their job, or 200 00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 1: they fish to go hang out with their buddies or 201 00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,720 Speaker 1: you know, no, not Broke Back Mountain, Jim c. Now 202 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 1: you're acting like Ramon. No, that's not why they fish. 203 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 1: But some guys fish and the fishing is ancillary to 204 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 1: the experience, right, getting away from everyone having some beers 205 00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 1: being on the water. But then you get those guys 206 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 1: that fish by themselves. That is the hardcore fisherman right there. 207 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: Let's go to Derek. You're on to Michael Berry Show. 208 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: What say you show, sir? Where should the Republicans be 209 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 1: mining for registrations. 210 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:48,360 Speaker 4: At the gun shows? 211 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: The gun show? You gotta think that's that's asgh that's 212 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 1: as close to one hundred percent Replican turn out as 213 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 1: you're going to. 214 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 3: Get probably a little bit more in the boat show. 215 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I would assume so, because because anybody at 216 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: the gun show that's a Democrat run because that's probably 217 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 1: a transgender school shooter right there. But gun owners are 218 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:17,719 Speaker 1: by nature independent, self reliant Second Amendment. I mean the 219 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,679 Speaker 1: Republican Party has cornered that market. If you ever hear 220 00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: somebody say they care about that and they vote Democrat, 221 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 1: they don't care much about it. They've put something else 222 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,160 Speaker 1: above it. You go to the gun shows, do you. 223 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:30,640 Speaker 5: No? 224 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:31,120 Speaker 3: I do not. 225 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 4: I just knew that would be a good place to 226 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,040 Speaker 4: go get votes. 227 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,280 Speaker 1: Yeah. I've been to a number of gun shows, and 228 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 1: I would say that's one hundred percent. I mean you 229 00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: get some you get some really really right wingers there, 230 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: that would be for sure. Heather, you're up, what say 231 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 1: you dear? 232 00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,680 Speaker 5: At anybody's place of employment, people go to work. I'm 233 00:13:52,760 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 5: generally Republicans. 234 00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they're more likely to be Republican. But 235 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,240 Speaker 1: if you have scars resources, I get your point. I 236 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 1: think if somebody said, for that, let's say oil and 237 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,640 Speaker 1: gas company, maybe sure. But I think if you go 238 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: to a technology company or probably some of the BioMed companies. 239 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:19,960 Speaker 1: You'd be surprised how many Democrats you find in there. Interesting. 240 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: Uh oh, we got Eve back. Tell Evil'll get to 241 00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: her in just a moment. Tom, You're on the Michael 242 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: Berry Show, Go Ahead sporting events? Which one would you 243 00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: ranking events? Which one would you rank most likely to 244 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:39,200 Speaker 1: be Republicans? Because you don't want to register democrats? UFC, 245 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:43,560 Speaker 1: uf Yeah, good call. I was thinking football, but you're right. 246 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: UFC would be your highest likelihood. Good call? 247 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:47,080 Speaker 3: College football? 248 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 1: UFC college football. Yeah, you're not going to get as 249 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 1: high a likelihood as a gun show, but it would 250 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,400 Speaker 1: be worth your time, that's for sure. 251 00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,760 Speaker 2: But I would say any baseball, basketball, football, also professionally, 252 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 2: but it would be more like about a sixty forty split. 253 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you got limited resources, so you want 254 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 1: to make sure that you're you know, you're fishing in 255 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:15,240 Speaker 1: the in the in the deep end. But I think 256 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,160 Speaker 1: UFC would be your likelihood of getting the highest percentage 257 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: that is that. Yes, I will agree with that for sure. Eve. 258 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,400 Speaker 5: Yes, I'm Michael Hi. 259 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:28,000 Speaker 6: Can you hear me? 260 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: Yes? Can you hold with me till the next segment? 261 00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:31,800 Speaker 1: I want to get to your point, but I want 262 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: to get these last two on this subject because I 263 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: wanted to say something in response to what you had 264 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 1: to say. So just hang with me, Brett, you're up 265 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 1: what you got? 266 00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:40,480 Speaker 5: Yeah, Hey, Michael, good morning. 267 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 3: I would say the RV park a lot of US 268 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 3: weekend warriors that. 269 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:48,400 Speaker 1: Yes, these RV park, Yes, I agree with that. I agree, Seth. 270 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: What about you historical reenactment? Oh man, Yes, that's one 271 00:15:54,720 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: hundred percent right there, God bless them. Yes, writing that down. 272 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: I got maybe a little carried away there laugh doing 273 00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: it big on the Michael Berry Show. They sound a 274 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:17,720 Speaker 1: little like Eddie money there right there. Asia they had 275 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: some good stuff. Who ever thinks of Asia? I mean 276 00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: not the band. So the question is where should Republicans 277 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: be registering voters? Because Democrats do a much better job 278 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 1: of that. Democrats do a better job of digital Democrats 279 00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 1: do a much better job of registration. Democrats do a 280 00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 1: much better job of getting their voters. Most Americans don't 281 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: want Democrat policies. But the Republican Party and the Democrat 282 00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: Party are made up of different types of people, and 283 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: that is the reason for it. Our people tend to 284 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 1: go to work, raise their families. The Democrats have people 285 00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: that will spend twenty four to seven on this stuff. 286 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 1: The Democrat Party is much more action oriented, has been 287 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:07,520 Speaker 1: for a very long time, and that's how they swoop 288 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,439 Speaker 1: in and win elections. They did that in two thousand 289 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 1: and eight. The best get out the vote effort I've 290 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 1: ever witnessed in my lifetime was in two thousand and 291 00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: eight and the Obama campaign. It was amazing, It was incredible, 292 00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:25,439 Speaker 1: and they built upon that and it lasted all the 293 00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: way up in the state of Texas when they did 294 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:34,199 Speaker 1: away with straight party voting through twenty eighteen when they 295 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:38,720 Speaker 1: elected Dora the Explorer county judge. All right, so where 296 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:43,040 Speaker 1: should Republicans be target rich environments? Oh? Eve, hold on, Eve, 297 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 1: We're going to get these, the rest of these, and 298 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:45,959 Speaker 1: then we'll go to you. Nick, you're up. Go ahead. 299 00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:51,000 Speaker 4: You go to the oil rig man camps. 300 00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 3: You're dealing with hundreds of people that when they're not working, 301 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 3: they don't have anything to do. 302 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 1: They're not going to rush. 303 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 3: I ain't got time wide. 304 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:02,520 Speaker 1: Open a great idea. I don't know who would you 305 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 1: know if you had somebody whose job it was to 306 00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:09,120 Speaker 1: do that, then you find areas like this, right, Jen, 307 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 1: what say you? 308 00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 5: I would say number one NASCAR and number two The rodeo. 309 00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,879 Speaker 1: NASCAR is great. Do you mean the Houston livestock showing rodeo? 310 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 5: Oh, I'm in San Antonio. I would say Houston might 311 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 5: have a different demographic than San Antonio does. 312 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:27,040 Speaker 1: Depends on the nine. 313 00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 5: Yeah. And I went last year and it was I 314 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:32,600 Speaker 5: saw Brooks and Dunn and it was great. But I'll 315 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 5: never go again. 316 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:34,399 Speaker 3: Why is that? 317 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,240 Speaker 5: Oh, taking an hour and a half in an uber home, 318 00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:39,800 Speaker 5: you know, all the fun stuff. 319 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, it's it's a that space is not 320 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,160 Speaker 1: I don't know, don't I don't really know the answer 321 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: to the logistical solution, but I do know that there's 322 00:18:56,040 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 1: something wrong when you're loading and unloading out of that space. 323 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:08,359 Speaker 1: There is something wrong about the choke points that have 324 00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: not changed since that stadium was built sixty years ago, 325 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:16,320 Speaker 1: since that space was built out originally as the Astrodom 326 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 1: sixty years ago. And I think it's a real, real problem, 327 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:25,800 Speaker 1: not the least of which the side roads. You know, 328 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: when you're coming in on what is it McKee McCree, 329 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 1: when you're coming in on that perpendicular street and you're 330 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 1: stopped in the traffic and you can't move and you 331 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:38,920 Speaker 1: look over and you go, oh, oh, it's a gang 332 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: banger initiation night. I just wanted to see the game. Yeah, 333 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,200 Speaker 1: that's a weird deal. So instead you have to come 334 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:48,040 Speaker 1: up and down Kirby where at least there are some 335 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:51,560 Speaker 1: cops along the way there that whole deal. And then 336 00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,960 Speaker 1: if you head let's see, if you head north out 337 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,720 Speaker 1: of the stadium, you go over to that parking lot 338 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: of that retail center over there, and that thing gets 339 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:05,200 Speaker 1: jammed up. It is not an ideal layout, and no 340 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: one has ever arranged the situation such that it flows better. 341 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:15,159 Speaker 1: It's almost as if no one has cared. The Rodeo 342 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,879 Speaker 1: itself tends to stay out of politics for fear that 343 00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: Rodney Ellis and Lena Hidalgo will will shut them down, 344 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: as I will remind you they did a few years ago. 345 00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,199 Speaker 1: They shut the Rodeo down and should not have, but 346 00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:33,400 Speaker 1: they did. In any case, Yeah, I think most nights 347 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:36,440 Speaker 1: at the Rodeo it's pretty target rich environment. Kevin, you're 348 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead. 349 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,200 Speaker 4: I would say, you know, standing in line waiting to 350 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 4: get into a concert, especially like a metal concert, it's 351 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 4: not a bad idea. I mean, I went to see 352 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:52,199 Speaker 4: mud Vane last Monday night at the Bayu Center music venue, 353 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:57,720 Speaker 4: which every single business in that entire center is completely 354 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:02,119 Speaker 4: closed and out of there's nothing alive in that center 355 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 4: where because the rents by you centered downtown off of 356 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:10,240 Speaker 4: Bagbee in Texas, you know Texas Avenue. Oh yeah, I 357 00:21:10,240 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 4: mean it used to have a hard rock cafe and 358 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,399 Speaker 4: all the other nonsense. But when you're paying you know, 359 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 4: forty thousand dollars a month, I mean you got to 360 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 4: sell a hell of a lot of Hamburgers. 361 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 1: Okay, remind me of what. So, there used to be 362 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,320 Speaker 1: a movie theater in there. Is that still there? 363 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 4: The signs there, but I don't think it was still open. 364 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 1: There was to be a real like a sun Dance 365 00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:35,000 Speaker 1: movie theater. They used to play pretty cool independent films there. 366 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:37,479 Speaker 1: But every time I went, my wife and I used 367 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,119 Speaker 1: to go all the time, and it was there was 368 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,160 Speaker 1: never anybody there. And then there was always a sushi restaurant. 369 00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,120 Speaker 1: It cycled through about three or four times. I don't 370 00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:48,000 Speaker 1: know if that's still there, closed, closed. There was the 371 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,760 Speaker 1: Willies what's that? Yeah, it was a slip yup lick 372 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:54,560 Speaker 1: Willies closed, and then there was h There was always 373 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:58,159 Speaker 1: a restaurant, like when you were coming in off of 374 00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: Memorial Parkway to the right. Uh, you know that there 375 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,880 Speaker 1: was the the hard rock cafe kind of in the vortex, 376 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 1: and then the next one there was. There was always 377 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 1: some new kind of fickle five hundred, you know, bar restaurant, 378 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,159 Speaker 1: a kind of place that would be hot for a 379 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 1: minute and then they were they were out of business, 380 00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,480 Speaker 1: and it would just keep cycling through. So you're saying, 381 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 1: the only thing left is the is the venue itself? 382 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, by you centers, the only the only thing opened 383 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 4: in that entire center. 384 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:28,639 Speaker 1: What did you allow see that? 385 00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 4: Mud Vein and Static X And. 386 00:22:33,320 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: I've been to a concert in that space in fifteen 387 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 1: years maybe, Well it was all. 388 00:22:39,040 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 4: Forty forty five to fifty year old white dudes.

Those people didn't want pandering. They didn't 456 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:22,320 Speaker 1: want some guy that nobody liked who happened to be 457 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,160 Speaker 1: Hispanic appointing to a position.

Nobody thinks, oh, 465 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: I'm going to be a Republican now because the most 466 00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:52,440 Speaker 1: hated person that I know that has my same last 467 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,919 Speaker 1: name got appointed to a position that doesn't actually work. 468 00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 1: In fact, that's bad Democrat politics. Instead, you find really 469 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 1: good people with good resumes, whose heads are on straight, 470 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 1: and you support them, some of whom happen to be minorities, 471 00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:14,040 Speaker 1: and that's how you'll get minority voters. That's the only 472 00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:15,639 Speaker 1: way you do it. You don't, you don't do it 473 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,720 Speaker 1: through the pandering thing. It's just stupid. Mike, what's your 474 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 1: idea for whether Republicans should be registering voters? 475 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,400 Speaker 3: Well, earlier, you know they took my answer with which 476 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,280 Speaker 3: it was Nascar.

Doug Rojas says, county fairs all day long, 486 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,720 Speaker 1: and that's true. You got to get out into the 487 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:00,040 Speaker 1: end of the counties. You just got to get a 488 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:05,040 Speaker 1: higher percentage of rural voters. Frand Rights, fran Jolly Rights. 489 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,360 Speaker 1: When I attended the Charlie Kirk Memorial, on every seat 490 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 1: was a voter registration.

Maybe send ice instead of voter registration 498 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 1: Michael Wrights, if we want to compete with the demon rats, 499 00:29:43,880 --> 00:29:50,440 Speaker 1: we should recruit at the cemetery Steve Wrights ZAR.

According 501 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 1: to their organizers, they expect roughly forty thousand attendees each year. 502 00:29:56,800 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 1: While we were there, we watched a fortyish year old 503 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: lady walk up and down the rows of tables while 504 00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 1: decked out in Trump gear. She was engaging patrons and 505 00:30:04,720 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 1: normally it appeared she was met with thumbs up or toasts, 506 00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:08,960 Speaker 1: but from time to time she would stop and have 507 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 1: an extended conversation. Her efforts were selfless and completely about 508 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:17,080 Speaker 1: her mission get Trump elected. We stopped and spoke with her, 509 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 1: and she was a local lady with a passion. No selfies, 510 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 1: no look at me posts, no groups of others with her, 511 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:27,680 Speaker 1: just putting in the work. And with that, Eve, your 512 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 1: patience has been rewarded. Thank you, What say you, dere? 513 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:31,920 Speaker 2: Yeah? 514 00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 6: Thank you? Michael. So, I've spent a couple of hours 515 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 6: looking over the propositions and then I got in the 516 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 6: mail the Texas Conservative Review, and it's several pages long, 517 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:44,720 Speaker 6: and I'm looking through it. I'm like, great, this is 518 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 6: going to help me. And then I get to the 519 00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:50,520 Speaker 6: lost page and it is a photoshopped picture of John 520 00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 6: Cornyan standing next to Donald Trump saying that he does 521 00:30:54,320 --> 00:30:58,200 Speaker 6: ninety nine percent of the time. And I literally got 522 00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 6: up and threw it away. Texas Conservative Review. 523 00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:04,560 Speaker 1: Well, I'm very familiar with it, Eve, I'm very familiar 524 00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 1: with it. It is Gary Polland, who used to be 525 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 1: the party chairman, who was run out of office, who 526 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:13,560 Speaker 1: ran for office and lost, who took court. He's a 527 00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,440 Speaker 1: criminal defense attorney who took court appointments from the very 528 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 1: judges that he would get elected. Gary Polland was the 529 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 1: Harris County party chairman so that he could get judges 530 00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,480 Speaker 1: elected and then they would turn around and give him 531 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,680 Speaker 1: the court appointments, which is how he made his money. 532 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 1: And he made a lot of money under those Republican judges. 533 00:31:35,200 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 1: Gary Polland is the kind of Republican who destroys the party. 534 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,080 Speaker 1: I don't know that he got paid by the corn 535 00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:49,080 Speaker 1: In campaign to put that out officially. I don't know that. 536 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:54,120 Speaker 1: If you were to ask me, do I think he did, Yeah, 537 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 1: I do. I don't think Gary Polland is a conservative, 538 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: and no he's not. He's a deal cutter. Holland got 539 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 1: into politics as an industry to get paid everything Gary 540 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,440 Speaker 1: Polland touches is corrupt. Gary Polland should just be a 541 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,840 Speaker 1: Democrat because he acts like a Democrat. Gary Polland has 542 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:17,040 Speaker 1: made a living in Republican politics through the political process 543 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 1: for years and years and years. He's a squirrel. He's 544 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:22,760 Speaker 1: an absolute squirrel. I think he's a bad person. I 545 00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:25,640 Speaker 1: think he's a corrupt person. I think he's a bad person. 546 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,680 Speaker 1: I think everything around him is evil. I think he's horrible. 547 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,320 Speaker 1: He cost us elections. He damn near destroyed the party. 548 00:32:31,360 --> 00:32:33,640 Speaker 1: So no, I wouldn't read anything The Texas Conservator of 549 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:34,640 Speaker 1: View gets paid to print
