That's 15 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 5: the party's lowest rating in NBC News polling dating back 16 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:28,400 Speaker 5: to nineteen ninety Meanwhile, though, a new CNNSSRS poll finds 17 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 5: the Democratic Party's favorability rating at just twenty nine percent, 18 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:38,000 Speaker 5: a record low going back to nineteen ninety two, and 19 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 5: a drop of twenty points since January of twenty twenty one. 20 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 5: What's more, just sixty three percent of Democrats and Democratic 21 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 5: leaning independents have a favorable view of their own party, 22 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 5: down nine points from January and eighteen points from the 23 00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 5: start of the Biden administration. 24 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,880 Speaker 2: Good you know, good you know. 25 00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:26,960 Speaker 4: Due to the massive drop in illegal border crossings under 26 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 4: President Trump. Because of President Trump, Galveston County Judge Mark 27 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 4: Henry says starting next month, they will no longer send 28 00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 4: sheriff's deputies from Galveston County and deputy constables to the 29 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:43,079 Speaker 4: southern border because the help is. 30 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 2: No longer needed. A story from KPRC TV. 31 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 6: In the last month, border patrol logged just over eleven 32 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 6: thousand immigrants called crossing the border illegally or who were 33 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 6: deemed inadmissible to the United States. The average number of 34 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:58,519 Speaker 6: daily arrests dropped below three hundred. That is a historic low. 35 00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 6: At the height of the Bard crisis, rural counties with 36 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 6: little law enforcement, like Kinney County, were overwhelmed by smuggling operations, chases, 37 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 6: and immigrants who crossed into the US illegally, trespassing through 38 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,239 Speaker 6: ranches in damaging property. Governor Greg Abbott set up a 39 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 6: program to where other counties could send deputies to help 40 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 6: their colleagues on the border. Galveston County started doing that 41 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,679 Speaker 6: in twenty twenty one, and we rode with those deputies 42 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 6: and Deputy constables on several trips. But as we reported 43 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,640 Speaker 6: earlier this year, in the numbers now show the activity 44 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 6: on the border has dropped dramatically. Galveston County Judge Mark 45 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 6: Henry said he also spoke with the Kinney County sheriff, 46 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,080 Speaker 6: who confirmed they'll be okay on their own now. 47 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: So we made the determination that if we can't be 48 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: helpful to Kinney County that we will offer our services 49 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: to the governor to help elsewhere with Operation Loan Star, 50 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: but if not needed, then we'll just wrap it up 51 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 1: and bring them all back. We really helped them out 52 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,680 Speaker 1: with their manpower being so small and the invasion being 53 00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 1: so large. So glad to see that it's finally under control, 54 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,119 Speaker 1: and very happy to have our people back in Galveston 55 00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: County full time. 56 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 6: Henry says two deputies will continue helping Kenney County through 57 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 6: the end of the month, then he'll cancel the disaster 58 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 6: declaration that allowed. 59 00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 2: For the sharing of resources. 60 00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 6: This comes as Governor Greg Abbott says this is also 61 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 6: shutting down a jail booking facility in Jim Hogg County 62 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:14,840 Speaker 6: that was opened in twenty twenty two and used to 63 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 6: handle border related arrests. However, a similar facility in Valverdi 64 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 6: County remains open. 65 00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 4: Don't tell us how much money will be saved in 66 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 4: law enforcement, how much money will be saved in criminal justice, 67 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:38,040 Speaker 4: in courthouse time, in jail space, in prison space. We 68 00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 4: have to feed those bastards. Think about that. We have 69 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 4: to feed those bastards. I have a friend I hadn't 70 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 4: talked to in years, and his son was sixteen and 71 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 4: got pinched for a DWI, and so I had called 72 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 4: to check on him a while back, and I asked 73 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 4: him how the food was, because after Bert's experience of 74 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 4: the baloney sandwich, I wanted to know what they gave 75 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:09,919 Speaker 4: the juveniles if it was any different, And it was better. 76 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,920 Speaker 4: It was a ham sandwich and. 77 00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 2: For breakfast was oatmeal. 78 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 4: Yeah, but apparently most people lose weight while they're in 79 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:22,480 Speaker 4: the jail because the quality of the food is not exactly. 80 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 2: It's not to taste. Shall we say that. 81 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 4: Article mentioned Galveston County's County Judge Mark Henry, But the 82 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 4: guy who was actually going down to the border and 83 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 4: who was the first to do it in the region 84 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 4: is Jimmy Fullen, and Fullan was a constable in Galveston County, which, 85 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 4: as you know, a constable is like a they have 86 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 4: a precinct, same way county commissioners have a precinct. The 87 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 4: constable has a precinct over which they're kind of the 88 00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 4: little mini sheriff of that precinct. And then the county 89 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 4: wide force is the sheriff's department. Jimmy Fullen ran for 90 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 4: and was elected to the Sheriff's department to head that. 91 00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,560 Speaker 4: So he is now at Gallason County Sheriff. But he's 92 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,680 Speaker 4: the one that was going down there and bringing his 93 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,480 Speaker 4: deputies down there and working on the border. In fact, 94 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 4: he got national attention for it. Berna wrote a whole 95 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 4: article about it, the burner guns, because he was the 96 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:35,400 Speaker 4: first to implement the use of the burner guns because 97 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 4: some of these folks are aggressive coming across the border, 98 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 4: and he wanted a less lethal way to get them 99 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,600 Speaker 4: to stop, because you don't know what language you're trying 100 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 4: to tell them to stop, and you know, you don't 101 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,919 Speaker 4: know if they're Hyle Hitler or you know, French, you 102 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 4: don't know, you don't know, and so they had to 103 00:06:56,120 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 4: find some ways when these people became aggressive and burnad 104 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 4: a big deal out of it nationally, and a lot 105 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:07,080 Speaker 4: of law enforcement ended up using that Berna les Leitha 106 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 4: launchers for law enforcement purposes. Anyway, So Jimmy Fullen got 107 00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 4: elected sheriff of Galson County in November, and a couple 108 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 4: of weeks ago he announced that the inmates would no 109 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 4: longer have their usual colors for their for their for 110 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 4: the little suits they wore, but instead they would be pink. 111 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 4: The Houston Chronicle wrote an article and this is the 112 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 4: way they staged these things. The article was so while 113 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 4: they praised the legacy of Sheila Jackson Lee and to 114 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 4: a lesser extent, Sylvester Turner and whoever is the next 115 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 4: Congressman will stand on the shoulders of greatness, Well, this 116 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 4: guy's down there.

They had to call around, I'm sure 118 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,440 Speaker 4: to find somebody. They found somebody who said's a bad idea, 119 00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 4: not good and that's a sociology. 120 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,600 Speaker 2: Professor at the University of Houston. 121 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,840 Speaker 4: And he said he thinks it might not be good 122 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 4: that they do that because the inmates might not like it, 123 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 4: they might feel humiliated.

Crockett's striking voice diverted 183 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 4: into country music after he explored blues and soul textures 184 00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:30,839 Speaker 4: early in his career. That was most evident on Monday nights. 185 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,559 Speaker 4: I'm Just a Clown and hard Luck and Circumstances, two 186 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 4: early standouts like Kindred Spirit and Rodeo Houston alum Leon Bridges, 187 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 4: Crockett bridges the gap between classic soul and country. He 188 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 4: followed up James Hands Rockabilly Rave up Don't Tell Me 189 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 4: That by writing one of the points of the Starred 190 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 4: Stage into the Air for Life of a Country Singer, 191 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,200 Speaker 4: one of the most biting songs from the new album. 192 00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:58,920 Speaker 4: Crockett may have become the first man on earth to 193 00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 4: cover Link Ray's Errol Jukebox Mama in a football stadium 194 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:05,920 Speaker 4: on Monday nine.

I've seen him in venues 202 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 4: smaller than an NRG Stadium, Men's Room, the late Montrose 203 00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:36,079 Speaker 4: honky Tonk, good Night Charlie's, and at music festivals in Georgetown, Texas. 204 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:39,560 Speaker 4: Just a year ago, Crockett headlined the backstage patio at 205 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 4: the Armadilla Palace and returned to play the seven to 206 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,439 Speaker 4: one to three Music Hall in the early fall.

George's influence looms large here where he's played 210 00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:58,839 Speaker 4: in front of millions of people. Ernest and Swaggery. At 211 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:02,319 Speaker 4: the same time, Rocket ended his debut Rodeo appearance with 212 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 4: a Maillo. By morning, this cowboy and his bride rode 213 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 4: away not on a horse, but in a thunderbird. So 214 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 4: I go scrolling down because I hadn't noticed. I wasn't 215 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,959 Speaker 4: going to read the review. It's kind of like how 216 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:19,760 Speaker 4: you've gotten used to if you turn on the TV 217 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 4: they're going to say something bad about Trump, and they 218 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 4: say something nice, you. 219 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:24,080 Speaker 2: Go, well, hell, who is this guy? 220 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 4: Who is Scott Jennings? 221 00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 2: What's going on here? 222 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 4: This is CNN and there's somebody saying nice things about Trump. 223 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 4: It's we've grown so numb, We've grown a thick skin 224 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,720 Speaker 4: that we know. It's like it's like when you, uh, 225 00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,960 Speaker 4: buddy of mine was on a oh it Rome was 226 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,240 Speaker 4: on a flight coming back from Canada. I was trying 227 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 4: to remember who said down, and the stewardess wanted He 228 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 4: realized the stewardess was a poly f fan and a conservative, 229 00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 4: and she started easing into politics till she figured out 230 00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,480 Speaker 4: his politics, and she said, oh my god, and she 231 00:14:58,560 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 4: just wanted to talk to him the whole flight. 232 00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 2: Apparently he thought she was trying to fart with him too. 233 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:06,440 Speaker 4: But you're so used to people trashing everything decent that 234 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 4: when someone says something that aligns with your views, you'd 235 00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:14,120 Speaker 4: sort of like wow. So I scrolled down and the 236 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,280 Speaker 4: review is not signed, and I said, oh, well, maybe 237 00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 4: they got a guest reviewer, because that little joey fella 238 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,320 Speaker 4: would never write such a nice thing about a country artist. 239 00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 4: It's our friend, Craig Levati's the best. 240 00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 2: Review I've read in years. It makes sense. Culture of Maut, 241 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 2: not chronic flop. 242 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 4: Michael Ferry show. 243 00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 7: We have to. 244 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:41,680 Speaker 4: Way. 245 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 2: The fix is in Leno. 246 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 4: Christian Minifee will replace Silvester Turner, who replaced Sheila Jackson 247 00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:58,760 Speaker 4: Lee in the eighteenth Congressional district. You are free to 248 00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 4: hate Rodney Ellis, but you must give credit where it's due. 249 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:15,680 Speaker 4: He has absolute, utter, complete, unchallenged, unquestioned control of the 250 00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:24,720 Speaker 4: Greater Houston Region government. It is an amazing thing to watch. 251 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 4: Some of you are incapable, and I've just come to 252 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:35,200 Speaker 4: understand this. Some of you are incapable of expressing awe 253 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 4: and recognizing complete power and effectiveness in an evil person. 254 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 4: So I guess you'd say Hitler never won any of 255 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 4: the battles, he never stormed any in the countries, He 256 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:54,720 Speaker 4: was never effective in any portion of the war or politics. 257 00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 2: Well that's just not true. You can both. 258 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:04,639 Speaker 4: Despise him and understand and accurately assess his effectiveness. For 259 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 4: a long period of time, the world hung in the balance, well, 260 00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,760 Speaker 4: our region hangs in the balance, and the new congressman 261 00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 4: has been chosen. His name is Christian Menafie. He's been 262 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 4: groomed by Rodney Ellis for some time. He was the 263 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 4: county attorney. He's part of the farm team. Houston Chronicle 264 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:28,159 Speaker 4: openly talks about these things. Uh who among the black 265 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 4: group that's endorsed by the black group. 266 00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 2: Was not a black group anymore. It's all Rodney Ellis. 267 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 2: It is all Rodney Ellis. 268 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:42,520 Speaker 4: The latest development is Christian Menefee had to resign from 269 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:45,639 Speaker 4: being the county attorney because if you have more than 270 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,320 Speaker 4: a year left on your term, I think it's a 271 00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:50,639 Speaker 4: year and thirty days left on your term and you 272 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 4: announce for another office, you have to step down. And 273 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,960 Speaker 4: he was just reelected in November, so he had more 274 00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:59,920 Speaker 4: than four year term. So he had more than a year, 275 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 4: so he immediately resigned. You don't resign as a young 276 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 4: up and coming politician chosen to be one of the 277 00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 4: Black Leap leaders if you will office holders, you don't 278 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 4: resign your position to run for an office that you 279 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 4: might not win. The deck had been cleared. The reason 280 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:26,399 Speaker 4: they didn't tell you Sylvester was in such poor health. 281 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 2: I knew it. 282 00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 4: But the reason they didn't tell you that is they 283 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:34,360 Speaker 4: didn't want any potential challengers to start making those late 284 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:39,200 Speaker 4: night calls and having meetings and building a team and structure. 285 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:43,120 Speaker 2: So they kept it very quiet. 286 00:18:44,440 --> 00:18:47,919 Speaker 4: And all the while we're working behind the scenes, so 287 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,879 Speaker 4: that Christian Minifie was ready to step right into the 288 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,960 Speaker 4: campaign and the office with a short fuse on it. See, 289 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,120 Speaker 4: this will be a special called election by the governor. 290 00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 4: He hasn't called the election, but when it is called, 291 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 4: Christian Minifie's already ready to go. They have rolled out 292 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:11,360 Speaker 4: his list of endorsements very strategically. The first major endorsement 293 00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 4: was Shela Jackson Lee's daughter, Erica Lee Carter. That was 294 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,640 Speaker 4: the signal to the insiders and the moneymen, all right, 295 00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 4: Shela Jackson Lee's daughter is not going to run the 296 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,679 Speaker 4: way you announce you're not going to run, is you 297 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 4: indorse the candidate? So a deal was cut. Erica will 298 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 4: get another position. There's a rumor, but I'm not ready 299 00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 4: to say that yet, but she will get another position locally. 300 00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 4: As her deal, she wasn't ready to go to Washington, 301 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 4: d C. 302 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:44,160 Speaker 2: Right now. 303 00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 4: So then the next round of endorsements yesterday was Erica Lee. 304 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:56,080 Speaker 4: The next round that comes out is Beto O'Rourke. Don't laugh, Okay, 305 00:19:56,119 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 4: you can laugh Beto O'Rourke. That's a way saying the 306 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,280 Speaker 4: white liberals are behind her. See you're thinking, how goofy 307 00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,360 Speaker 4: Beto or work is, But understand that the way Rodney 308 00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:12,000 Speaker 4: puts together these endorsements like this, this is how you 309 00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:17,520 Speaker 4: signal to the insiders what's going on. So Beto represents 310 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:21,960 Speaker 4: the white liberal wing and the national money out of 311 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:25,199 Speaker 4: California and New York. Colin Allred, remember he got his 312 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 4: ass whipped by Ted Cruz in November. But Colin Allread 313 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 4: has a lot of aid and he was the Senate 314 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:36,439 Speaker 4: candidate as a Democrat, so that that is intended to 315 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,400 Speaker 4: show that a statewide democrat. They don't have any state 316 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,359 Speaker 4: white democrats. Republicans have control of all of it. So 317 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:44,919 Speaker 4: the closest thing they have is these two goobers.

Have you seen a picture of his feet? 416 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:23,679 Speaker 2: I did too. 417 00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:29,440 Speaker 4: Oh oh, I told ramone this last night. I would 418 00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:34,240 Speaker 4: be curious to know there's two levels to this. How 419 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 4: many of you remember from watching Kojak? I just started 420 00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:43,200 Speaker 4: rewatching Kojak. How many of you remember from watching Kojak 421 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:49,879 Speaker 4: that Telly Savalis's left index finger Telly Savalas has a 422 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 4: left index finger that is bent down at all times 423 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:58,880 Speaker 4: and stuck in a position and then like a praying mantis. 424 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:01,520 Speaker 4: So if you take your left hand, fall on with 425 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 4: me here unless you're driving, and bend your your left 426 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,880 Speaker 4: index finger down to a ninety degree angle. Okay, Now 427 00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 4: with your right hand, bend the tip of your finger 428 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:16,159 Speaker 4: from the nail forward. Kind of has a praying Mannis 429 00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 4: style karate kid, look to it. Okay, His his finger 430 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,640 Speaker 4: is like that. And the nail is jacked up, so 431 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,439 Speaker 4: he got it's not quite Billy Joe Shaver. He's he 432 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:30,480 Speaker 4: has a finger, but I don't know why. He just 433 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:34,240 Speaker 4: doesn't have it taken off, although he could probably balance 434 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:39,680 Speaker 4: things on it, but it's stuck in that position. And once, 435 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 4: now that I've told you you can watch Kojak on 436 00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,160 Speaker 4: Amazon Prime, you're going to go back to season one. 437 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 4: And you know the other thing that I loved about 438 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,399 Speaker 4: TV shows back then, Rockford Files does it. Rockford Files 439 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:55,639 Speaker 4: first ever show had Lindsay Wagner, but the first or 440 00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 4: second episode, I forget, I'm ten episodes in now had 441 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,240 Speaker 4: Harvey Kytel, a young Harvey Kottel, and he's still the 442 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,520 Speaker 4: same Harvey Cattel still talks exactly the same. 443 00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:10,000 Speaker 2: I mean, he's the wolf, but just young wolf. Anyway. 444 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 4: I didn't realize Darryl Stingley's I mean, not Darylon. I 445 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,720 Speaker 4: didn't realize Telly Sabalas's finger was all jacked up. But 446 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,440 Speaker 4: you will notice it because he's often smoking a cigarette 447 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,560 Speaker 4: and can't hold anything with that, but he can balance 448 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 4: scenes against it. Anyway. I don't know why that's important. 449 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 4: I just noticed it the other day, so here's what 450 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,639 Speaker 4: I want to hear from you. If you didn't notice it, 451 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:31,880 Speaker 4: you don't need to email me. But if you remembered 452 00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:33,480 Speaker 4: it from when you were a kid, because y'all talked 453 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,680 Speaker 4: about it or whatever, send me an email that. Or 454 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 4: if you started watching the old TV shows the way 455 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,960 Speaker 4: I do on Amazon Prime and you noticed it recently, 456 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,600 Speaker 4: tell me that that's two different levels of notice though. Anyway, 457 00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 4: Derek Stingley, Texas Texans all Pro has agreed to a 458 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 4: three year ninety million dollar extension. Now I know what 459 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,360 Speaker 4: you're thinking, Ramon. It's never the amount that they report. 460 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:05,720 Speaker 4: They just puff up that amount because the money's not guaranteed. 461 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:09,440 Speaker 4: And you're right, ninety million of the ninety million is 462 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 4: not guaranteed, only eighty nine million. So one of Adam 463 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 4: Schefter broke the news. So one of the one of 464 00:29:18,600 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 4: the fellas, Vito Pinozzo commented on this. He's in quotes 465 00:29:24,400 --> 00:29:27,440 Speaker 4: as if he's Kal McNair, we can guarantee eighty nine 466 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:29,920 Speaker 4: of the ninety million, but that last million just too 467 00:29:30,040 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 4: steep for us. We got to have some incentives in there. 468 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 4: You know. This is further proof that the NFL has 469 00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:43,720 Speaker 4: become a passing league. It's seven on seven. It is 470 00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 4: seven on seven. If you notice the guys getting the 471 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 4: paychecks these days, they're not the Earl Campbell's, Walter Payton's. 472 00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 4: They're just not because they don't have they don't have 473 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 4: the careers anymore the way they used to. And the 474 00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 4: offenses aren't built around the Jim Brown running back. Gail sayers, 475 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:06,000 Speaker 4: it's just not happening. It is a running shoot, throw 476 00:30:06,040 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 4: it every play offense. And they've decided that the that 477 00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:16,360 Speaker 4: the running backs are interchangeable, so you don't have to 478 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 4: have a star running back. What's the white kid in 479 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:23,840 Speaker 4: San Francisco Christian H. McCaffrey, That he he is a 480 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 4: cut above other running backs, But the number of running 481 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,560 Speaker 4: backs who are a cut above otherwise they're just fungible. 482 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,239 Speaker 4: It's running back back committee, allough. I tell you this 483 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 4: guy Mixing that we got I think, but you know, 484 00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 4: even he he went down middle of season, how many 485 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:43,040 Speaker 4: games and and they I can't remember who they put 486 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 4: in to replace him.

But I just don't follow any sports 493 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,760 Speaker 4: like that anymore. I just I just don't. Although Crockett 494 00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:00,680 Speaker 4: did ask me the other day if we could go 495 00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 4: sit on the front row of the Rockets and see 496 00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,800 Speaker 4: a Rockets game. And this is how bad I am. 497 00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 4: I have a friend named Paul Miller. He's very close 498 00:31:08,360 --> 00:31:11,000 Speaker 4: friends with Russeller Barr, but he's also my friend. And 499 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 4: he owns a concept called Union Kitchen. He's got multiple 500 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 4: restaurant Union Kitchen. And I saw him at Tilman had 501 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:23,240 Speaker 4: this thing for Rockets suite owners, the big spenders for 502 00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:24,560 Speaker 4: the Rockets, and I'm not one of them. He just 503 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 4: invited me and it was kind of, you know, here's 504 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,040 Speaker 4: how the season's going to go, and here's what we're 505 00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,320 Speaker 4: excited about, and you know, here's this instance. It was 506 00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 4: a neat thing at his Post hotel and Paul Miller 507 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,280 Speaker 4: was there and he said, Hey, I got front row 508 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 4: tea tickets to the Rockets. Why don't you take the boys? 509 00:31:39,840 --> 00:31:43,520 Speaker 4: You can have in their their mid court front row. 510 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,240 Speaker 4: And I said, Paul, I'll be honest with you. My 511 00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 4: kids when they were younger, I would, I would look 512 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:52,640 Speaker 4: for amazing experiences and I would drag them everywhere. These days, 513 00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 4: they've had every experience they could ever want, and school 514 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 4: takes so much of their time, and when it's not school, 515 00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:03,280 Speaker 4: it's sport or something that they're So I've just learned 516 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:04,640 Speaker 4: if I'm gonna do something, I'm gonna do it on 517 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 4: my own, because it's just hard. They're at an age 518 00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:08,440 Speaker 4: where it's just hard to get them to do anything. 519 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:09,200 Speaker 2: It just is. 520 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:14,880 Speaker 4: Crockett is in school or tutoring or sports from seven 521 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,880 Speaker 4: in the morning until literally eleven at night, and so 522 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 4: I just don't another day, he said. Rocket. So now 523 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 4: I got to call Paul Miller and see if that 524 00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:25,120 Speaker 4: offer is still good. 525 00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:26,680 Speaker 2: Because I was a little blase about the thing. 526 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:31,240 Speaker 4: Be honest with you, So that the quarterback market that 527 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:35,480 Speaker 4: now that the league's stars are first and foremost quarterback, 528 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:42,200 Speaker 4: secondly wide receivers, third pass blockers. Then the flip side 529 00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:44,680 Speaker 4: of that is the only way you can stop the 530 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 4: wide receivers is we shut down corners. And a market 531 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 4: has been reset. As Adam Schefter made thirty million dollars 532 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,280 Speaker 4: a year, that'll be twenty nine point seven because it's 533 00:32:54,280 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 4: not over there. That is incredible. Wow, quoral past. He 534 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 4: went to the Raiders for one hundred and fifteen a 535 00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,440 Speaker 4: year and had to sue Al Davis and didn't get 536 00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 4: paid on it for ten years later. Yeah, that's why 537 00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:13,480 Speaker 4: he was driving around the country driving his own eighteen 538 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 4: wheeler with his race cars in the back because he 539 00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 4: had no money left because they cheated him. True story. 540 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,719 Speaker 4: All right, we got a Trump meeting with Putin today 541 00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:25,720 Speaker 4: and the Kennedy Files should be an interesting evening show.
