1 00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. So 2 00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: Michael Very Show is on the air. 3 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,120 Speaker 2: I had a summer job at McDonald's. To lie, it's 4 00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 2: a total lie. She never worked at McDonald's, but she 5 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:20,880 Speaker 2: lies about everything. 6 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:21,640 Speaker 3: I love you. 7 00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:30,840 Speaker 2: The nice people made it together, Grimace. We could own 8 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 2: this town. Happy birthday, Gamla. Maybe I'll get her some fries. 9 00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 2: I love you. Look at this guy. 10 00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:41,520 Speaker 3: I'm not gonna mess with him. 11 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:43,560 Speaker 1: And I could do this all day. I wouldn't mind 12 00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 1: this job. 13 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 2: I love fun. 14 00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 1: I've now worked for fifteen minutes more than Gabala. 15 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:11,480 Speaker 2: President Trump had a day at McDonald's where the Golden 16 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:17,039 Speaker 2: arches became a stage for genius political theater. Picture this. 17 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:22,039 Speaker 2: Trump donned in what could be described as maga casual, 18 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 2: a business shirt, red tie, and an apron that might 19 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 2: as well say the Apprentice fast food edition. He stepped 20 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 2: into a McDonald's in Pennsylvania not just to grab a 21 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 2: big mac, but to manda fry station. This wasn't just 22 00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 2: any visit. It was a political statement wrapped in a 23 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 2: quarter pound of burger bun. Trump flexed his reality starchops, 24 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 2: diving into the deep end of fast food service with 25 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 2: pictures of the event. Even Norman Rockwell would be proud 26 00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 2: of this Visit wasn't just about flipping burgers. It was 27 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 2: about flipping the narrative for a moment. He wasn't just 28 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,240 Speaker 2: the four former president of the United States, but the 29 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 2: new guy at Mickey De's, bringing into question Harris's relatability 30 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 2: by turning himself into the everyman, albeit with a billionaire twist. 31 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 2: And at the end of his well shift, Trump left 32 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 2: with a grandfatherly smile. The internet exploded with memes, debates, 33 00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 2: and probably a few new fast food themed political slogans. 34 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 2: It was politics, it was entertainment. It was Trump at McDonald's. 35 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 2: Of course it was. And you can bet Kamala Harris 36 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 2: is grimacing. I'm Thornton Finch reporting for the Michael Berry Show. 37 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 2: Good Day, What a. 38 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: Weekend it was.

You can request a ballot by mail. 58 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 1: The deadline is this Friday, October twenty fifth. That is 59 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: the deadline for them to receive it, not the deadline 60 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 1: by which it must be postmarked. To be eligible to 61 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: vote early by mail in Texas, a registered voter must 62 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:03,919 Speaker 1: be sixty five or older, sick or disabled, out of 63 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: the county on election day and during the period for 64 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:11,480 Speaker 1: early voting by personal appearance, be expected to give birth 65 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: within three weeks before or after election day, or be 66 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: confined in jail but otherwise eligible. Jail is not prison. Remember, 67 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 1: jail is where you get pulled over. You got a DWI. 68 00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:30,359 Speaker 1: Prison is where you go to serve your sentence. And 69 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: here we are two weeks and a day until election day. 70 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:42,359 Speaker 1: Donald Trump had quite a day yesterday. He dominated the 71 00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 1: news cycle with his shift at McDonald's. Interestingly, it was 72 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris's birthday, and most people don't know. She didn't 73 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,559 Speaker 1: get a bump off of it. She didn't get any 74 00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: good wishes other than Donald Trump wishing her will on 75 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: her birthday, her sixtieth. He did an interview, a radio interview, 76 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 1: he did a rally, and then last night he showed 77 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 1: up at the Steelers game, a nationally broadcast game. Feelings 78 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: were very positive if you are a Longhorns fan. It 79 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:26,400 Speaker 1: just kind of puts a puts a negative tinge on 80 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: the day when you're the number number one ranked team 81 00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:32,080 Speaker 1: and you play Georgia and you lose and you don't 82 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: play your best well, it was the opposite. In Pennsylvania, 83 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: the considered the most important swing state, Trump now leads 84 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 1: in the polls there and in fact in every swing 85 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:47,680 Speaker 1: state in most polls. Now he leads. He's even beginning 86 00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 1: to pull even in states that he's not expected to win. 87 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:57,680 Speaker 1: An Republican hasn't won in quite some time. But what 88 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:02,560 Speaker 1: a day. He goes to the Steeler game. When Taylor 89 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: Swift is at a game, there are an average of 90 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 1: seven times per game that she is shown at the game. 91 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: We see her walking in, there's that same look as 92 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: she enters the stadium, and every time Travis Kelcey touches 93 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: the ball or he's even a target, they show her. 94 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:30,880 Speaker 1: We get to see her cheer, we get to see 95 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,720 Speaker 1: her dance and sway. We get to see her reaction 96 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: to a call against him or a touchdown that he scores. 97 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: Not with Trump. I was told that there was a 98 00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: brief shot of him. I didn't see it. Crockett and 99 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:56,160 Speaker 1: I were watching the game together, that's our thing, and 100 00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: he does fantasy football, so we were looking at the 101 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:05,200 Speaker 1: scores and his players. He's got a quarterback problem because 102 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: Justin Fields was his quarterback and Fields is out Russell 103 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 1: Wilson's back, so he put Anthony Richardson in. And I 104 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: think Anthony Richardson's terrible and he should pick up Aaron Rodgers, 105 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: but I just happen to love Aaron Rodgerson. Anyway, it 106 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: might have been during one of the moments where we 107 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 1: were looking up player stats, But did you did you 108 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: watch the game? One sign? Apparently they shot they showed 109 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:36,320 Speaker 1: Trump for just a moment. But what a day either way, 110 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 1: what a day He dominated with the McDonald's shift, radio interview, 111 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,319 Speaker 1: rally and then national, the Game of the Week, the 112 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: Sunday night Game of the Week, and he's there and 113 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 1: the entire stadium is cheering USA. Well, he's got moment. 114 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,240 Speaker 3: I get her in mcdanielsberger, the Michael Barry. 115 00:08:58,320 --> 00:08:59,480 Speaker 2: Maybe I'll get her some price. 116 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:16,640 Speaker 1: Donald Trump was not only the star of The Apprentice, 117 00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: he was the executive. Producers paid sixty thousand dollars a 118 00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: week for it, and Jeff Zucker, who was head of 119 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: NBC at the time, surmised that he didn't have to 120 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: pay Trump more than that because it was so good 121 00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:44,120 Speaker 1: for Trump's brand that Trump couldn't leave. Whatever the pay was, 122 00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 1: why he stayed. The fact is for several years it 123 00:09:54,320 --> 00:10:01,240 Speaker 1: was a top show in the country. Trump understands certain things, 124 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: not having had a background in that Michael t being 125 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,600 Speaker 1: in college, we talk a lot about what you want 126 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: to do and what you study in and many, many, 127 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:18,440 Speaker 1: many young people believe that to have a career in 128 00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:22,000 Speaker 1: a particular field, you need to study that in school. 129 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:28,839 Speaker 1: Most of you, I would bet, have a career. If 130 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,040 Speaker 1: you have a career, not just a job. You have 131 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 1: something you do, you're good at it, You're hired to 132 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,360 Speaker 1: do that thing, as opposed to just hey, and there's 133 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 1: nothing wrong with it. If you pick up a shift 134 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:45,200 Speaker 1: to pay the bills, that's honorable. There's dignity in that. 135 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: It's not the same thing as a career. That is 136 00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,440 Speaker 1: a job to pay the bills. It's doing what we 137 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: have to do to get by and take care of 138 00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 1: those we have to take care of. But if you 139 00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 1: have a career, you're a person that other companies want 140 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 1: you for what you do. There is value in what 141 00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: you do. You have a specialized skill set. Chances are 142 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:14,920 Speaker 1: you didn't learn that in school. Trump didn't learn in 143 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:20,000 Speaker 1: school the instinct he has, and it really is instinctive 144 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: for a moment, creating a moment. Let's go back to 145 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 1: why that McDonald's moment became so important. We start with 146 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris having lied. Now imagine imagine how absent any 147 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:48,440 Speaker 1: real accomplishment and authenticity she is if she had to 148 00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: make up that she worked at McDonald's, but make up 149 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: that she worked at McDonald's, she definitely did. Ramon. You 150 00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 1: got the audio of her say and I worked at 151 00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:05,920 Speaker 1: McDon donald's. Yep, think about it. Two middle class kids 152 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 1: want a daughter of Oakland, California who was raised by 153 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: a working mother. 154 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 2: I had a summer job at McDonald's. 155 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 1: That's a lie, And there was a suspicion that she 156 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 1: was lying. McDonald's keeps detailed records on who worked there 157 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,360 Speaker 1: because they take great pride in who has worked there. 158 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:41,440 Speaker 1: So she's on with Stephanie Ruhle on MSNBC. What's meant 159 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: to be a friendly discussion When they're trying to make 160 00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: her relatable. That's the problem. She's not relatable. Everything about 161 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:55,800 Speaker 1: her is fake and it bothers people. So this was 162 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: meant to help her. 163 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 2: First one, just a fact check because your opponent there 164 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 2: is a little today, there's no such thing as a 165 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 2: little kay fair fair because your opponent almost every day 166 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:08,960 Speaker 2: seems to be talking about this. 167 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,480 Speaker 1: So I just want to ask you yes or no, 168 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: At any point in your life. 169 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,360 Speaker 2: Have you served to all beef patties, special sauce, let 170 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 2: us cheese pick these onions on a seed. 171 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 1: But looking at a McDonald's, yes or no? 172 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:24,320 Speaker 2: That's it?

Why lie about that? 175 00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: About eight years ago, Chad read a book called Golden 176 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: Opportunity Remarkable Careers that Began in McDonald's and it it 177 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: pointed out some famous and some very successful people who 178 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 1: once worked at McDonald's Jay Leno, Jeff Bezos, Andy Card, 179 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 1: who worked in the Bush White House.

It's not 184 00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 1: just that they all worked at McDonald's many years ago, 185 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: earning spending money during their high school or college days. 186 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: An estimated twenty million people at Flipburger's, port Shaks or 187 00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,880 Speaker 1: served fries from McDonald's at some point in their lives. 188 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,640 Speaker 1: For many, it's a paycheck not much more. But for 189 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: Leno Bisos in Company, those teen apprenticeships brought lessons that 190 00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:50,359 Speaker 1: have lasted a lifetime. In a new book, Golden Opportunity, 191 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 1: remarkable careers that began in McDonald's company, executive Cody Teats 192 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 1: invites forty six high achievers to reminisce about their stints 193 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: at the Hamburger c Company.

Add it all up, 203 00:15:47,640 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 1: and Golden Opportunity is more than a collection of rocking 204 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 1: chair stories from long ago. It's an ingenious way of 205 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 1: making McDonald's distinctive culture come alive in ways it can 206 00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,960 Speaker 1: benefit anyone trying to plan a career, get a big company, 207 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:05,840 Speaker 1: be back on track, or a parent a teenager. The 208 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 1: idea that you worked at McDonald's is for someone who 209 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 1: lacks authenticity, an opportunity to connect, an opportunity to say, hey, 210 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,920 Speaker 1: you struggle, well, well I struggle. I bet I struggled 211 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 1: just like you. The fact that she made it up 212 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: is a non starter. The fact that she has no 213 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: regard for the truth, the fact that she felt the need, 214 00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:45,880 Speaker 1: as she does in every way, with fake accents, with 215 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 1: fake stories. Everything she does is an attempt to say 216 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 1: I'm just like you, because there's no there there. But 217 00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 1: maybe if she lived three houses down from you, you 218 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:04,680 Speaker 1: feel that she should be elected because well, in some 219 00:17:04,760 --> 00:17:10,800 Speaker 1: odd way, you're electing yourself. You're endorsing and supporting yourself 220 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:16,400 Speaker 1: because your experience is valid, is valid and valuable, and 221 00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 1: that's what she's counting on. The problem is, yet again, 222 00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,800 Speaker 1: whether it's the black accent in Atlanta or a different 223 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:30,879 Speaker 1: black accent and Detroit, Whether she's in the dinnor she's black, 224 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 1: she's this, or she's that, she's the borders are or 225 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: she isn't. None of it is real. None of it 226 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 1: is authentic. None of it is legitimate. So the Trump 227 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,840 Speaker 1: folks went to McDonald's and as it turned out, yeah, 228 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:49,360 Speaker 1: they have no record of her ever working there. So 229 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: now her campaign's response is well, her friend remembers being 230 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 1: told by her mom that she was working at McDonald's. 231 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 2: Take I'll get her in. 232 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 3: Mcdaaldsamberg, meet Michael Berry. 233 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:04,840 Speaker 2: Maybe I'll get her some price. 234 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:17,119 Speaker 1: Polls have been open since seven o'clock this morning and 235 00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: will be for the next several days, all the way 236 00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,560 Speaker 1: through November one, and then of course a week from 237 00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 1: tomorrow is election day.

Why would you, I mean, realistically, 305 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: why would you know who's on the Court of Appeals. 306 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:47,159 Speaker 1: Why would you know who's running for various offices. You 307 00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 1: don't have a chance. There's no reason you would People 308 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 1: take this to heart unless you are a person who 309 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:59,640 Speaker 1: prides yourself from being extremely well informed and consistently because 310 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 1: there's an new election coming up all the time, it's 311 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:07,520 Speaker 1: perfectly natural that you wouldn't know. This is why the 312 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 1: party system is better than nothing, because at least the 313 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,320 Speaker 1: party system gives you some amount of an understanding of 314 00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: what you're dealing with. If you're looking for a position 315 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:24,960 Speaker 1: player to fill out your roster, and you got a 316 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,920 Speaker 1: guy that plays you need a shortstop, and you guy 317 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: that you have a guy that plays shortstop, and you 318 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:35,399 Speaker 1: have another guy that played right tackle for his college 319 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 1: football team, you're probably going to be better off with 320 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,879 Speaker 1: the shorts. The guys played short soap before. Your odds 321 00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:44,040 Speaker 1: are much better. Vote all the way down because that's 322 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:47,160 Speaker 1: what the Democrats do, and it's hard to win these races. 323 00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:51,720 Speaker 1: We have got some tough races in Texas. Not just 324 00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: ted cruise at the top of the ticket. It goes 325 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: all the way down, trying to win the sheriff's office, 326 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: trying to win the district attorney's office, trying to win 327 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:05,520 Speaker 1: the commissioner's court races, trying to win the judicial races. 328 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:08,800 Speaker 1: It's okay that you don't recognize the names. It is 329 00:24:08,920 --> 00:24:14,239 Speaker 1: perfectly okay. This is a joyous occasion. We get to 330 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 1: do this. Throughout history, it is rare that people could 331 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:23,159 Speaker 1: engage in self governance. I understand I'm not going to 332 00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,119 Speaker 1: be able to get through to some of you, but 333 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:29,080 Speaker 1: maybe some of you will hear my plea, and that 334 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:33,800 Speaker 1: is stop focusing on the fraud, not because it doesn't exist, 335 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 1: but because nothing you're doing is going to have any 336 00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:44,760 Speaker 1: impact on the fraud. So if you're running around screaming upset, 337 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,960 Speaker 1: can't hold it together, want me to understand how upset 338 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: you are, because that's how we'll all know how much 339 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 1: you care. Is how upset you are. I think you're nuts. 340 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 1: I just do. I think you're nuts. I think this 341 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:03,120 Speaker 1: is an unproductive chicken little time behavior. Focus on getting 342 00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:07,439 Speaker 1: people to vote. That's what you can do. That's a 343 00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 1: real thing you can do. Worrying about voter fraud in 344 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 1: Chicago or Detroit. You're not helping. You're you're you're that's 345 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,200 Speaker 1: a hobby for you. It's a fetish, it's a hobby, 346 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 1: it's a it's a thing you do. This is a 347 00:25:22,119 --> 00:25:26,280 Speaker 1: time where we keep people focused on how mad we are. 348 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 1: You're in and you're out. Now we finally have a 349 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:32,280 Speaker 1: chance to vote, and this is it. Let's win this thing. 350 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:36,480 Speaker 2: I'll get her in mccatto's nbag with the Michael Berry. 351 00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 2: They don't get her surprise. 352 00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:40,639 Speaker 3: A lot of. 353 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:50,879 Speaker 1: This is calling poles are open. You can vote in 354 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:56,879 Speaker 1: the state of Texas today through seven pm, all the 355 00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,399 Speaker 1: way this week through seven pm. On Sunday, it starts 356 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 1: at noon, but every day this week seven a to 357 00:26:03,280 --> 00:26:08,640 Speaker 1: seven p early voting. You no longer need an excuse, 358 00:26:08,840 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 1: a reason of justification. Just show up and vote. Take 359 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 1: somebody in your household with you. Don't wait. I hate 360 00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 1: the term election day because that should be the last day. 361 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 1: Election day is during early voting, when you can go 362 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,119 Speaker 1: and vote. It's going to be crazy today, There's no 363 00:26:31,160 --> 00:26:33,520 Speaker 1: doubt about that. Their long lines there already are. I'm 364 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 1: seeing lots and lots of folks excited to get to vote, 365 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:43,639 Speaker 1: people that are frustrated, people that want their voice heard. 366 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 1: I get it, I get it. There's a great deal 367 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:54,680 Speaker 1: of frustration. I want it fixed. I want every bit 368 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 1: of energy focused on winning the election. And I get 369 00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:03,440 Speaker 1: frustrated by people who I think get confused that this 370 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 1: is a wrestling match or some other side show and 371 00:27:08,119 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 1: start wanting to distract with other things. I want people 372 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 1: to vote. I want those votes cast. I want to 373 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,160 Speaker 1: win elections. I saw a mem yesterday. I said, it's 374 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,560 Speaker 1: not that the majority are silent, it's that the media 375 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:26,360 Speaker 1: are silent about the majority. This is when the big 376 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:32,480 Speaker 1: landslide happens. This is when people get to express what 377 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:38,960 Speaker 1: frustrates us most in a real, tangible way. All the 378 00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 1: talk about fraud unless you're a person who can do 379 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 1: something to stop it, which is very few people that 380 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:47,920 Speaker 1: are in those positions. All the talk of fraud suppresses 381 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 1: voter turnout. Make sure you understand that that's what you're doing. 382 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 1: You are suppressing people who believe in the rule of law, 383 00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:01,040 Speaker 1: our people. You are suppressing their vote. You are telling 384 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,879 Speaker 1: them your vote doesn't matter anyway because they're gonna cheat. 385 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: That becomes the justification for people who already feel powerless. 386 00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:15,359 Speaker 1: You've got a nation of people who have to call 387 00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:20,240 Speaker 1: a call center in India or somewhere else to get 388 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: help for something that they bought locally. People that can't 389 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:27,960 Speaker 1: get a human being on the phone, people that can't 390 00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:33,120 Speaker 1: get in the hospital, people whose schools have turned against them. 391 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:39,239 Speaker 1: People feel powerless. There's a new bill every month that 392 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 1: you're charged and you can't get them to take it off. 393 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 1: You can't even find a human being willing to do that. 394 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 1: People feel powerless. But you've got the franchise, you've got 395 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:54,200 Speaker 1: the vote, you can cast that vote. And yet we've 396 00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 1: got people who will not let you talk about getting 397 00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:03,960 Speaker 1: out to vote. They want you to focus only on fraud, fraud, fraud, fraud, fraud, 398 00:29:05,080 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 1: not that there's going to be anything done based on 399 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:11,480 Speaker 1: all of that talk. It's like a ham radio operator 400 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: or car collector, gun collector whatever else. It is a 401 00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,520 Speaker 1: hobby and a fetish for people to talk about that. 402 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,720 Speaker 1: And those people don't vote, by the way, I've looked 403 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 1: them up. Those people who do this, it's not gonna matter. 404 00:29:26,560 --> 00:29:28,320 Speaker 1: You're going to do this as many bouts gonna come 405 00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 1: up missing. Those are people who do not vote ever, 406 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:36,400 Speaker 1: And this is how they justify it because it doesn't 407 00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 1: matter anyway. And now you get into this doom loop 408 00:29:42,160 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: of they're gonna cheat, so your vote doesn't matter. I'm 409 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 1: not gonna vote now. They don't even need to cheat. 410 00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 1: We're at the front end of this and I'm just 411 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:54,920 Speaker 1: laying out right now, I'm not going to do that. 412 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:59,560 Speaker 1: Please show up to vote with the intention of taking 413 00:29:59,600 --> 00:30:03,040 Speaker 1: back your country. Don't show up to vote with the 414 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:06,680 Speaker 1: intention of looking around if there's something behind the tree, 415 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 1: or pushing the limits to try to get kicked out. 416 00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 1: And that's what people are doing, pushing the limits to 417 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,240 Speaker 1: try to get kicked out, because maybe I'll make the 418 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,240 Speaker 1: evening news as the person who wasn't allowed to vote. 419 00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:21,959 Speaker 1: Or it's the first day of early voting. You can 420 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 1: vote at any polling place within your county. That's the 421 00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 1: beauty of early voting. I have no patience on election 422 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 1: day when people say I was going to go vote, 423 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 1: but I can't believe this. They've closed my poll, they've cheated, 424 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 1: they've done Why didn't you vote early when you had 425 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 1: two weeks to vote early? Why didn't you vote early 426 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,760 Speaker 1: where you could vote anywhere? Because you don't really want 427 00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 1: to vote. You just want a bitch, and there's too 428 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 1: much of that. That's not how we win. If you're 429 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 1: a player entering the game focused on the refs, you're 430 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:58,960 Speaker 1: not putting your best effort on the field. What you 431 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:02,240 Speaker 1: can do, what everyone can do, is get another person 432 00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,120 Speaker 1: to vote. That's how we win. I actually want to win. 433 00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:08,600 Speaker 1: I'm done with all the sideshows. I want to win. 434 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:12,240 Speaker 1: And here's how we win. We get more votes. Than 435 00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:15,760 Speaker 1: they have. Sure, we've got it. We've got to be 436 00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:18,000 Speaker 1: mad that the Harris kunt Of Republican Party is not 437 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,560 Speaker 1: recruiting Canadas to put in all the races. Fine, we 438 00:31:20,640 --> 00:31:22,360 Speaker 1: still have to win the races for the people who 439 00:31:22,400 --> 00:31:23,880 Speaker 1: are there, which. 440 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 2: Is for us. 441 00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 1: Lloyd. Did I get a note that you just voted? Lloyd? 442 00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 1: Did I get a note that you just voted? 443 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:37,760 Speaker 3: Here? 444 00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 1: Yep? Did you just vote? 445 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 3: Yes, I'm here, you're up. I did just vote this morning? 446 00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 1: All right, go ahead, yes, sir, I did just. 447 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,360 Speaker 3: Vote this morning. I got there about seven thirty at 448 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:53,520 Speaker 3: the Umble Library and there was a line wrapped around 449 00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 3: the building and we waited about forty minutes to get inside. 450 00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:00,120 Speaker 3: But the voting was just five minutes long, and and 451 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:03,720 Speaker 3: everybody was really nice about it in and out. I 452 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:06,360 Speaker 3: did have a question, and I think you just answered it. 453 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,520 Speaker 3: Why Why are there so many races? I counted aged 454 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:13,480 Speaker 3: ten of them that did not have a Republican candidate. 455 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:18,080 Speaker 1: Because the Harris County Republican Party did not get candidates 456 00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 1: to put on the ballot. I have heard the excuse 457 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,600 Speaker 1: that the lawyers who would run don't want to run 458 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,640 Speaker 1: against the judges because when they lose and they still 459 00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:30,880 Speaker 1: have to practice in their court. If you think that 460 00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:34,120 Speaker 1: the only people who can run for a judicial position 461 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,320 Speaker 1: are people that are already practicing in that court, that 462 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:42,480 Speaker 1: makes you incapable of being the leader of the Harris 463 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:48,560 Speaker 1: County Republican Party. It's short answer. People didn't do their jobs. 464 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 1: I mean, it's unfortunate that it comes to this, but 465 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:59,680 Speaker 1: people didn't do their jobs, period, end of story. You've 466 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:05,440 Speaker 1: got to go out, You've you've got a bout, so 467 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:12,960 Speaker 1: God help you. If you contribute money to a campaign, 468 00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:18,680 Speaker 1: I'm sorry to say, because the consultants have decided that 469 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:24,680 Speaker 1: if you contribute money, it is open season on you. 470 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 1: They're gonna send you thirty text messages. They're never gonna stop. 471 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 1: And what it does is is it dampens enthusiasm for contributing. 472 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 1: They're gonna put you on an auto pay that you 473 00:33:36,840 --> 00:33:42,000 Speaker 1: didn't see coming. They're gonna text you constantly. You know, 474 00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 1: if you don't know how to block numbers on your phone, 475 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,000 Speaker 1: ask your grandkids because it'll save you a lot of 476 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 1: hassle because they all come from the same set of numbers. 477 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:55,680 Speaker 1: Why they don't spend money, I'd rather see less money 478 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 1: spent at election time, and more money spent getting candidates 479 00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:03,440 Speaker 1: to run for office, mail out to every Republican voter, 480 00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 1: how many how many Republican voters knew that there was 481 00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 1: Every lawyer in the county could have signed up to 482 00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,160 Speaker 1: be a judge. At least we would have a candidate
