1 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. So 2 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:32,279 Speaker 1: Michael Verie Show is on the air. I received an 3 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:36,320 Speaker 1: email from the nice lady. He said, Hey, you're guy 4 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 1: Justin White at Senior Health Services that does the Medicare. 5 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:47,160 Speaker 1: It helps people get through the Medicare process. My daughter 6 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: is very talented. She has this background, She's done this, 7 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 1: this and this. If you'd like to reach out to her, 8 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: here's her phone number. And I said to her, and 9 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 1: it crossed my mind I should probably say this publicly. 10 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 1: I'm as guilty as anyone, So don't think I'm wagging 11 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: my finger at you. We have to let our kids 12 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: act as adults. We have to step back and let 13 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 1: them step forward. Many is the time that I will say, 14 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: you know someone is hiring let's say, and I will 15 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 1: get emails from usually their mother, sometimes the father, but 16 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 1: usually and it's a mothering thing. And I know that 17 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 1: people are going to take offense to me saying that, 18 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 1: and I'm okay with it because it comes from a 19 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: good place. You birth this child, you put this this 20 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: child was in your care for a long period of time. 21 00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: There comes a point in our lives as parents. Who 22 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: was my wife telling me yesterday that she had just 23 00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: talked to and there, Oh, my wife and her friend 24 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: went to Credence leave Out Goods new restaurant, and Levi's 25 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: number two is a guy named Chris Shaw, and Chris 26 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: was there and took great care of him. And she 27 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 1: got a kick out of the fact that, because we've 28 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 1: been through this, Chris is one of his kids had 29 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 1: just turned sixteen and had for the first day driven 30 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: off to school, and he was saying, how weird it 31 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 1: was just all of a sudden from us having to 32 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,679 Speaker 1: take you places you don't need us anymore, and there's 33 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: no real transition into that, and it's a real weird deal, 34 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 1: a very weird deal, indeed. And that's but that's the 35 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: way life's supposed to work, right, we had there was 36 00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: a time when we had to do that. So let 37 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: me recommend to you and take this as good advice, 38 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: and take it as respectful advice. If your child is 39 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 1: trying to become an Eagle Scout, or your child is 40 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: looking for a job, or your child is looking for 41 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 1: this or that, insist that your child handle reaching out 42 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 1: to people to do that. I consider it a knock 43 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: because let's say I'm looking to hire someone and I 44 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,320 Speaker 1: always do that publicly. I do it over the air 45 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,839 Speaker 1: and people send in and that's that's how he found 46 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 1: Emily Bull. I knew her father, Kevin Bull, and he 47 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 1: was one of the people who said Emily doesn't want 48 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 1: to reach out, and I said, well, have her reach out. 49 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: And I think she didn't want to be rejected. She 50 00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: had worked for me as a server at the RCC before, 51 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 1: but she did and we begin that conversation. But you 52 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:11,200 Speaker 1: have to recognize, mommy, and I speak to you from 53 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: a position of love, that when you reach out for 54 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,840 Speaker 1: your child, you are telling that other person that your 55 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 1: child is not able to do it for themselves. Reach 56 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 1: out to your kid, contact your kid and say, hey, 57 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:35,320 Speaker 1: Xyz is hiring. Or Michael Barry was talking about somebody hiring. 58 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 1: Why don't you reach out to him and say, hey, 59 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: my mom heard you say this, and I'm interested and 60 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: hear's a little bit about me. But be conscious that 61 00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: your image is at stake at that point, your maturity, 62 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: your place in life. And we are at a time 63 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,559 Speaker 1: when young people are really a lot of young people 64 00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: are really struggling to grow up, and nobody wants that 65 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:07,799 Speaker 1: on their payroll. So that's my advice to you. Texas 66 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: Education Agency has released the first list of one hundred 67 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:16,800 Speaker 1: teachers under investigation for fraudulently obtaining their teaching certification in 68 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:21,359 Speaker 1: a cheating scheme that kim Ogg announced the indictment of 69 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: five people for back in October. At least thirty eight 70 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 1: teachers from eleven Houston area school districts have been named already. 71 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:37,919 Speaker 1: Story from k PRC TV, which originally stood for port, 72 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: Rail and Cotton, the three pillars upon which nineteen teens 73 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 1: and twenties Economy Houston Economy was based on k PRC TV. 74 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 2: Tonight, one hundred Texas educators are part of a growing 75 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 2: probe into a teacher certification cheating scandal that operated out 76 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 2: of Harris County. Thirty eight of them are from Houston 77 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,679 Speaker 2: Area district, including fifteen from HISD, five at alvin Id, 78 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 2: four at Sciphair and Fort Bend isds, and several more 79 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,799 Speaker 2: at these other school districts. The other sixty four educators 80 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 2: come from districts in North and Southeast Texas, though the 81 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 2: TEA says all of this is based on their districts 82 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,920 Speaker 2: at the end of the last two school years, and 83 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 2: some may no longer work there. To think that this 84 00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:25,359 Speaker 2: many people without what I would consider a proper moral 85 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 2: compass we're trying to educate an influence children all across 86 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 2: the state is definitely troubling. Harris County prosecutors announced felony 87 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:37,240 Speaker 2: indictments against these five in October. They say the alleged ringleader, 88 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 2: HISD basketball coach Vincent Grayson, made more than a million 89 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,160 Speaker 2: dollars from the scheme. Teachers from across the state would 90 00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:47,520 Speaker 2: pay twenty five hundred bucks to have Assistant Principal Nicholas 91 00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 2: Newton test in their place after struggling to succeed on 92 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 2: previous attempts. Some allegedly got recruited by Assistant Principal Lashonda Roberts, 93 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 2: while two test proctors are accused of accepting payment and 94 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,480 Speaker 2: turning a blind eye to the cheating. 95 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,800 Speaker 3: And it just destroys that kind of faith that our 96 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 3: community has in public schools. 97 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 2: All three HISD employees accused of leading the scheme are 98 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 2: now out on bond and relieved of duty, awaiting trial 99 00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,480 Speaker 2: and tonight, the TEA says as this investigation continues, they 100 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 2: do expect this list to grow. In the past, prosecutors 101 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 2: have said at least two hundred and ten educators may 102 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 2: have been fraudulently certified in Texas through this scheme, and 103 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,360 Speaker 2: we know that HISD has said it will get rid 104 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 2: of any employee who was part of this, and tonight 105 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 2: some other school districts are starting to echo that as well. 106 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 1: Think about this. If teaching doesn't pay well, why are 107 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 1: people going to illegal links to get the job? Th 108 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: about that for a moment, and what kind of people 109 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: are willing to cheat to get to be a teacher? 110 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: It's such a bad job. Why are people so eager 111 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: to rush into it? And who are these people who 112 00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: are so eager to rush into it? What were they 113 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: doing before? You ever wonder that Amazon has an army 114 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: of people if they throw out on the streets every 115 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: day that didn't exist before. What were those people doing before? 116 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:30,360 Speaker 1: What were the TSA agents doing? We had they hired 117 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: fifty thousand people. Imagine if I told you you have 118 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 1: to hire fifty thousand people, what do you go raid 119 00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:41,200 Speaker 1: to telemarketing firms? Where do you find these people? They're 120 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 1: not just out there, They're not You ever think about this? 121 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: Who are you getting? And by the way, the Amazon 122 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: drivers I talked to, I mean the kind of reason, 123 00:08:52,520 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: like what what were you doing before?

She's got some vocals. 127 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: At a moment, I don't think Jennie Freaky had had 128 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 1: hit her mark yet at this point. I don't think 129 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 1: she was a household man. You always seen let your 130 00:09:45,120 --> 00:09:52,320 Speaker 1: feeling show, you love me, and you let me know. 131 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 3: Darn. 132 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 1: Just remember these three words, I love you, I love you, 133 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:09,559 Speaker 1: I love love you, and you. 134 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 3: Me and. 135 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 2: And I I can fly. 136 00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:25,559 Speaker 1: One day we're going to do a segment on uncredited 137 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:31,439 Speaker 1: and you or unappreciated and famous people who sing background 138 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 1: on a song, because there's a lot of that.

I 153 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 1: grabbed my gun and shot the dog. The neighbor called 154 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 1: the police on us. Lady Sheriff was more concerned about 155 00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: following the blood trail into the woods and finding the 156 00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 1: dog than our safety.

Let me tell you something 160 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 1: where we lost this battle, folks. There's a group of 161 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 1: people who don't have children, but they have dogs. And 162 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: the woman is usually into rescue dogs, and she wants 163 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: you to know that she really really really really really 164 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: really really loves dogs. They don't call them for babies. 165 00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:16,920 Speaker 1: Oh the moms do, yeah yeah yeah. And what they 166 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 1: do what they do is they in discussions. They make 167 00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:27,960 Speaker 1: sure that you treat the dog like the savior of 168 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 1: the world, even in the conversation, and if you don't, 169 00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: they get very upset and people don't want to argue 170 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:39,320 Speaker 1: with them, and so they'll talk about things like animal rights. 171 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:44,400 Speaker 1: Animals do not have rights. Anyone who says the term 172 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 1: animal rights either doesn't know what they're talking about because 173 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: they don't understand our legal system, or they're retarded. You 174 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 1: pick your choice. Those are your only two options. Animals 175 00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: do not have rights. Only a human being can have rights. 176 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:09,920 Speaker 1: I mean, if you really want to have this conversation, 177 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 1: there is no such thing as states rights. You know, 178 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:18,679 Speaker 1: you hear the States rights movement, and I will tolerate 179 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: that term only because of what it has come to mean, 180 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 1: but does not technically mean a state cannot have a right. 181 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 1: When you understand what a right is in a legal system, 182 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 1: neither a state, nor a tree, nor a dog can 183 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 1: have one. So these people and their dogs have become 184 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,920 Speaker 1: so aggressive and they're crazy because they don't have kids, right, 185 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,679 Speaker 1: and they don't have kids to raise, and their dogs 186 00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 1: became their thing. And it's sort of this reaction to 187 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 1: they don't want to be treated like second class citizens. 188 00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:01,560 Speaker 1: So they've made dogs more valuable in our society than 189 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:07,079 Speaker 1: human beings. I'll tell you this, if in downtown Houston 190 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 1: today somebody walked up to a human being and blasted 191 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 1: him away, and a block away someone walked up to 192 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:19,080 Speaker 1: a dog and blew it away and both were filmed, 193 00:14:20,120 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: that person who killed the dog would be hunted down 194 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: and probably torn peace by peace by the quote unquote 195 00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: animal rights people. The person who shot the guy, well, 196 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 1: that's most unfortunate. That's a sick, sick, sick sick society. 197 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: When you equate animals to human beings, and there are 198 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 1: a lot of people who are afraid to tell you 199 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:54,680 Speaker 1: that they don't. That's retarded. It's completely retarded. And anybody 200 00:14:54,760 --> 00:15:01,520 Speaker 1: who does, boy, that's a real, absolute sick. It is 201 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 1: also a sickness when you believe that every citizen around 202 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 1: the world, or every human being around the world, should 203 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 1: have the same rights in your country as your fellow 204 00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 1: citizen does. That's the moment you don't understand what a 205 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: nation is. And I don't care if you screech, cry, scream, 206 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 1: threaten me, write emails to my company, piss your pants, 207 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 1: poop your pants, eat your own buggers gouge your own 208 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 1: eyeballs out, you freaking idiot. It doesn't make you right. 209 00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 1: And too many people have allowed these little temper tantrum 210 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:43,080 Speaker 1: individuals to dictate the conversation because they don't want to 211 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,680 Speaker 1: upset them. Well, they're going to have to be upset 212 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: because they're like petulant children. Speaking of which, the guy 213 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 1: who shot the United Healthcare CEO outside the hotel in 214 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: Midtown yesterday at six forty six am Eastern, he had 215 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:06,000 Speaker 1: written or someone had written the words deny on the 216 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 1: three shellcasings. They were meant to be three shots fired. Deny, depose, depend, 217 00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, defend, And apparently that's a reference to a 218 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 1: book from twenty ten called Delay, Deny, Defend, Why insurance 219 00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: companies don't pay claims and what you can do about it. J. M. Feineman. 220 00:16:37,120 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: Those had been engraved on the live rounds and shellcasings 221 00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 1: left behind after Brian Thompson fifty was shot yesterday morning. 222 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:51,480 Speaker 1: Now there's some discussion as to whether this was a 223 00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: professional hit per se, or just a grudge. And I've 224 00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: read arguments that say, while he did have to chamber 225 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: the rounds because the silencer was not heavy enough to 226 00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:11,439 Speaker 1: not giving up recoil to cycle the next round. I 227 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 1: don't think it's a professional. I do think it was planned. 228 00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: Listen Timered. 229 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 3: Not you on. 230 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 1: You know the celebrity who unnamed sang background on this song. 231 00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 1: You would have listened and see if you can tell 232 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 1: jump ahead to it.

Yes, I did, but good catch. Eddie was 253 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 1: not supposed to do anything outside the band, but Quincy 254 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 1: had called him.

This is a nice neighborhood 272 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 1: right on Lake Houston. We should not have to deal 273 00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: with rabid rescue dogs. You know, some of you will 274 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:07,680 Speaker 1: not appreciate this, but I'm going to say it anyway. 275 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 1: Donald Trump came out. That's not the part you want 276 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:13,720 Speaker 1: to appreciate. We get that moment. Donald Trump came out 277 00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:18,119 Speaker 1: of a field of nineteen people, a very talented, the 278 00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:22,040 Speaker 1: best republic the strongest Republican field of candidates. We've ever 279 00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 1: had a president in this country in twenty sixteen. Never 280 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,040 Speaker 1: seen anything like it. I doubt we'll ever see anything 281 00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: like it again. A lot of them are well funded, 282 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:37,679 Speaker 1: had their own base, had national followings. Some of them 283 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 1: were governors. You know a governor, you're fire's going to 284 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,159 Speaker 1: hold his own state, right. You got Kasik in Ohio. 285 00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 1: You got guys that had been all over media, could 286 00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 1: raise money. Jeb Bush two Bush has been president before 287 00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,920 Speaker 1: I got the whole Bush machine. Ted Cruz raised more 288 00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:07,680 Speaker 1: money in all of them, had a national campaign. Rob Oh, 289 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 1: what's the guy? What was a Goofball's name? He fell 290 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 1: off early in Wisconsin. He just couldn't get any momentum. 291 00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 1: Can Marco Rubio lit Marco Ran Paul don't underestimate him. 292 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:23,840 Speaker 1: But Trump came out of that group because he bulled 293 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:27,360 Speaker 1: his way through it. I think that at some point 294 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,679 Speaker 1: in life you have to decide I'm not going to 295 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,640 Speaker 1: let weaker men win, and I'm going to let them 296 00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 1: know that I'm going to win. Some people just don't 297 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,480 Speaker 1: have this part of their personality. I see. It makes 298 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:45,040 Speaker 1: me crazy. They don't feel like they should win. They 299 00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,880 Speaker 1: really don't. They date ugly women because they think that's 300 00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:50,439 Speaker 1: what they're supposed to do. They settle for bad jobs 301 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 1: because they think they're not supposed to have good things. 302 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 1: They settle for a crappy house because they don't think 303 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 1: I'm supposed to live in a good house. They settle 304 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:58,640 Speaker 1: for a bad car that they don't even really want, 305 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 1: because well, I'm not to have good things. You think 306 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:07,360 Speaker 1: I'm kidding. This is the vast majority of people. Crazy 307 00:23:07,440 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 1: Neighbor called Channel thirteen and made false reports online about us. 308 00:23:15,160 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 1: You can think what you want about me, but I'm 309 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 1: just going to tell you completely honestly, that would happen 310 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: one time. Crazy neighbor called Channel thirteen and made false 311 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 1: reports online about us. If that happened, and you're sure 312 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 1: that happened, that person thirty years from now should still 313 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 1: say that that was the dumbest thing they ever did 314 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,200 Speaker 1: and they have regretted it for the rest of their lives. 315 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: I am not turning the other cheek on that, and 316 00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,760 Speaker 1: it I think it's important that before someone does that, 317 00:23:55,840 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 1: they understand that I am not a person to be 318 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,439 Speaker 1: trifled with. If you want to play games and do 319 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: such a thing. Now, sometimes people do it because you 320 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,000 Speaker 1: know you hadn't met you, that you didn't do, you 321 00:24:09,040 --> 00:24:13,760 Speaker 1: didn't do your neighborhood watch party. But whether they knew 322 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,840 Speaker 1: or not, if that person called Channel thirteen and made 323 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:21,399 Speaker 1: false online reports about you, that would be hat Phil's 324 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:25,320 Speaker 1: and McCoy's. I would find every way. And anybody who 325 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,639 Speaker 1: knows me knows that knows that. And and some people 326 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,160 Speaker 1: will tell you he's crazy. You know, he's got anger 327 00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,399 Speaker 1: management issues, he's he's this. Let me tell you this. 328 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 1: If you harm me or mine, you're going to lose. 329 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 1: And I think if more people went into now you 330 00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,879 Speaker 1: can't go being wronged by something somebody didn't intend. But 331 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:51,880 Speaker 1: in that case, Oh man, wish the student call up here, 332 00:24:52,680 --> 00:25:01,680 Speaker 1: very show, Michael la. You know, there was a big 333 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 1: negotiation about that, and she was like, you're wearing the lace. Done, 334 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 1: I'm wearing a leather. I mean it's Stevie Nicks. She 335 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:23,440 Speaker 1: ain't a lace girl. Yeah, I mean, you don't want 336 00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 1: to know what her safe word is. Her safe word 337 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:33,320 Speaker 1: she gives to a dude. Probably that's Stevie Nicks. That 338 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:36,080 Speaker 1: not a lot of lace. I love her, God bless her, 339 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:46,360 Speaker 1: but goodness, she's pure own witch. When they embrace being 340 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:52,320 Speaker 1: a witch, that's a whole different level of witchery. You know, 341 00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 1: you're not ready for that. You can't even imagine where 342 00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:04,880 Speaker 1: that goes. Sometimes I read news reports of various scenes 343 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 1: of them. You got that scene from Low Country for 344 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,880 Speaker 1: old men we use in the uh uh oh, what's 345 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:21,919 Speaker 1: the segment we do uh huh signs and wonders. You 346 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 1: got the story where he tells what he's just read 347 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 1: in the newspaper. You know what, while you're finding that, 348 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 1: put Catherine on Catherine. You're on the Michael Barry Show. Sweetheart. 349 00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:37,119 Speaker 3: Go ahead, Hey, Michael, I just want to touch base 350 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:41,119 Speaker 3: with you about the kids having the mother or the 351 00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:43,680 Speaker 3: mother or dad sending it in the emails about the kids. 352 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 3: Hiring gets starts so much earlier. And you know, I 353 00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 3: worked at a little mom and pop retail place. So 354 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:53,160 Speaker 3: three times the kids come in. Some of them come 355 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,200 Speaker 3: in to look around and use the facilities and will 356 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,679 Speaker 3: not acknowledge you. The second ones that come in with 357 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:03,280 Speaker 3: their parents, and the parents do all the talking, and 358 00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:05,159 Speaker 3: so I'll try to talk to the kids and the 359 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 3: parents answer for them. And the third ones, the parents 360 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 3: will send the kids in with their money. The kids 361 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 3: will come in, take care of the business and do 362 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 3: it all. And so I like to use a little 363 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 3: positive reinforcement. And so when I talk to the parents 364 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 3: about how well how the great social skills of those kids, 365 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:27,760 Speaker 3: the majority of those tell. 366 00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:32,520 Speaker 1: Me they're homeschool. Very interesting. 367 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:37,440 Speaker 3: You can do, yes, you bet, chapmen. So parents need 368 00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 3: to back off, let their kids speak for themselves and 369 00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 3: teach them some social skills. 370 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 1: They do. But I want to be very clear that 371 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 1: I am empathetic to how it happens, because I myself, 372 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:56,119 Speaker 1: I have to struggle many as the time that my 373 00:27:56,280 --> 00:28:00,000 Speaker 1: parenting decision or action is based on what I think 374 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,520 Speaker 1: think I'm supposed to do for the best result rather 375 00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 1: than what I most want to do, because what I 376 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,359 Speaker 1: want to do is keep them right here with me 377 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:11,919 Speaker 1: and protect them and cover them and shield them. And 378 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:16,159 Speaker 1: I say, no, you cannot do that. It's not best 379 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:20,120 Speaker 1: for them. You're giving in to your own parental desire. 380 00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:23,640 Speaker 1: And I think it's natural. I think God imbuse us 381 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,680 Speaker 1: with a desire to protect and care over our children, 382 00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:30,399 Speaker 1: the way a bird creates a nest for her you know, 383 00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,840 Speaker 1: you see the mother duck. This is biology, it's nature, 384 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,680 Speaker 1: it's natural. It's good. But that's a very interesting point 385 00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 1: you make, Catherine, about them being homeschooled. And I will 386 00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:47,760 Speaker 1: tell you, I have noticed how many more kids I 387 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:52,080 Speaker 1: come across today that are homeschooled. Number one and number two. 388 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 1: I have noticed the level of maturity, the ability to 389 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 1: talk to adults is. And you know where I think 390 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 1: that comes from is because they're talking to adults all day. 391 00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:10,080 Speaker 1: I think you go to school and you end up 392 00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:14,520 Speaker 1: in this kind of strided class of people all your age, 393 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:20,280 Speaker 1: and you learn age not appropriate, but age consistent behaviors, 394 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:25,880 Speaker 1: and the teacher is this whole different you know, status 395 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,320 Speaker 1: over there, and you're not interacting much with an adult, 396 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 1: so you learn the behaviors in a pack animal sort 397 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 1: of way, the lowest common denominator of your age group, 398 00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 1: whereas if you're homeschooled, there's no place to hide in 399 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,560 Speaker 1: the back and shoot spitballs. And by the way, I 400 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 1: was a spitball shooter, but so I'm not. I'm not throwing. 401 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,200 Speaker 1: But you don't. You don't get a substitute teacher when 402 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 1: you're at home. You don't get to hide in the back. 403 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: You don't get to hide in the bathroom. You got 404 00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 1: you got a responsible adult who cares about you, who 405 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 1: will pull out a switch and whip you with it, 406 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 1: who's teaching you all. And I think you learn some 407 00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:06,040 Speaker 1: maturity from that. What's the name of the shop you 408 00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 1: work at, Catherine? 409 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:14,240 Speaker 3: I worked at Froggy's bakedoc and Port O'Connor, Froggy's Bait 410 00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:18,640 Speaker 3: Doc you bet you all right? What's the number with 411 00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 3: ell Live Baiting? 412 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 1: Do you own it? Glad? 413 00:30:23,760 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 3: No? I just worked there. 414 00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 1: Roggy's Bait y'all don't have a website? Just a Facebook page? 415 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:29,440 Speaker 2: Is that right? 416 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 3: Just a Facebook page? But it's I mean, it's just 417 00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,120 Speaker 3: the best. I love it. It's great and you get 418 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 3: to meet so many people. But one man brought in 419 00:30:40,440 --> 00:30:44,120 Speaker 3: a kid, his grandson. It was his homeschool day. The 420 00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 3: kid was maybe nine years old. They took out every 421 00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 3: different kind of sinker every way, and he explained him 422 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:53,680 Speaker 3: what each and everyone was for, what the hooks were for. 423 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 3: And then they were going and he was doing got 424 00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 3: bought a map and comparing the map to the navigation 425 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 3: system and that was his homeschool day with grandpa. These 426 00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 3: are the people I get to meet. 427 00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:10,440 Speaker 4: It's amazing that that just gave me the same rush 428 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 4: as eating a bowl of bluebellt ice cream, like just 429 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:15,520 Speaker 4: that thought that that happened. 430 00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:19,959 Speaker 1: But you know, it surprises me kat how many people don't. 431 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 1: I watch people. They'll be asked a question by their kid, 432 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:29,120 Speaker 1: and it's clearly a good natured question, not nagging, and 433 00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 1: the parent. I think part of it is they don't 434 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 1: have one hundred percent knowledge, But people will often act 435 00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:39,080 Speaker 1: like you asking a question is offensive. You know, you're stupid. 436 00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:43,000 Speaker 1: Everybody's supposed to know. We're not born knowing anything. We 437 00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:47,480 Speaker 1: have to learn those things. You just made my day 438 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,040 Speaker 1: with that Froggy's baked dog from them. How could you 439 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:52,160 Speaker 1: be in a bad mood when you walk into Froggy's 440 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 1: bakedoc in Port O'Connor getting ready to go fish for 441 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,400 Speaker 1: the day. And then there's some papa over there pulling 442 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:02,960 Speaker 1: out all all the gear and teaching his kid. And 443 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 1: here's how you read the map. Oh, it does my 444 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:05,480 Speaker 1: heart good.
