1
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: It's that time. Time, time, time, luck and load. The

2
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 1: Michael Verie Show is on the air.

3
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 2: Jerry, I want you to say what you put made him?

Speaker 1: Money, yeah, just get show me the money.

9

Speaker 3: That's it.

10
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 1: Probably Show me the money, jar, show me the money.

11
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: Tell you by yeah, show me. Look at the unfair

12
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: trade practices that we have.

13
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 4: Representative Brian Harrison is our guest representative. I know y'all

14
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 4: are in session this morning and you stepped out to

15
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 4: join us for a moment, but you've been quite in

16
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 4: the news of late. Folks are working hard, have worked

17
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 4: hard across the state to win each and every of

18
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 4: the eighty eight out of one hundred and fifty state

19
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 4: rep seats to get a majority so that we can

20
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 4: get bills passed every two years.

21
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: Now we're in that brief window to make our state better.

22
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 4: And yet the Republicans in charge are taking orders from

23
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 4: the Democrats and screwing everything up.

24
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 1: And you've you've blown the whistle on us. Catch people up,

25
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: assuming they know nothing of what's going on in that

26
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: mess of a hell hole. In Austin.

27
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,760
Speaker 2: Hellholes, right, cesspool, swamps or gutter, it's all pool.

28
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: Cesspool was what I was looking for. It it didn't

29
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: come to me. Yes, cesspool big.

30
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, and in sestuous cesspool is what I usually call

31
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 2: the Austin swamp. But good morning, my friend, Michael Berry. Yeah,

32
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:42,839
Speaker 2: talking to you live from the epicenter of that cesspool.

33
00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: To catch people up, because I want to start by

34
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 2: saying thank you. I want to thank you to the

35
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 2: voter to Texas who did your job. You went to

36
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 2: the batt last March and last November, you pushed the

37
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 2: button for to elect Republicans, probably Republicans that promised you

38
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 2: they are going to be a conservative fighter and vote

39
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 2: for small government and stand up to the liberal Democrats.

40
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: They told you those things. You believed them, You voted

41
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 2: for them, You elected them. You gave Republicans the governor's mansion,

42
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 2: lieutenant governor's office, big majorities in the House and the Senate.

43
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 2: And what they do, what they do, I'll tell you

44
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,679
Speaker 2: what they did. They sold you out, the Republicans that

45
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,920
Speaker 2: said they're going to stand up for the Democrats when

46
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: you weren't looking. After you elected them, they voted to

47
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 2: put those very Democrats in charge of the Texas House,

48
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 2: and then they colluded with them to destroy liberty, grow government,

49
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 2: increase spending, increase taxes, and push socialism. And as a

50
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 2: result of that, or I guess to say, to give

51
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 2: you more color, how that happened, Republicans have an eighty

52
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,280
Speaker 2: eight seat majority or eighty eight seats in the Texas.

53
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 1: House out of one hundred and fifty.

54
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 2: That means we got a twenty six seat majority, a

55
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 2: massive majority that the voters gave us for Republicans, well

56
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 2: thirty something. To those Republicans so called sell out rhinos,

57
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 2: they cut a deal with fifty Democrats to take over

58
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 2: the chamber, so fifty Democrats actually control the Texas House.

59
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,959
Speaker 2: So we go. Texas voters elected Donald Trump by fourteen points.

60
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 2: The Biden Harris Caucus is holding hostage the Texas Legislature.

61
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,680
Speaker 2: And what that means is instead of doing the things

62
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 2: that y'all want us to do, like that return that

63
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 2: twenty four billion dollar surplus to you so we can

64
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 2: get our property taxes under control and ultimately eliminated. Passing

65
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 2: real school choice so parents can pull their kids out

66
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 2: of failing government schools if they are trapped in one

67
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 2: of those failing government schools and into a school that

68
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 2: serves their needs, or to reduce regulations, to finally stop

69
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 2: the billions, yes, billions, of your tax dollars that this

70
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 2: Texas government is using to fund DEI and promote liberal

71
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 2: gender ideology instead of doing any of that. The Texas

72
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 2: House has passed into law zero bills.

73
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: But we created.

74
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 2: Pakistan Day, Zoroastrianism Day, and we spent three days on

75
00:03:59,880 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 2: the floor talking about Beyonce. And I only say that

76
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 2: actually not to joke, but just to give folks a

77
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 2: little bit of color at the level of total betrayal

78
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 2: that the voters of Texas are suffering at the hands

79
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 2: of the so called but hold.

80
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 4: Was it early Beyonce, like Destiny's Child or was it

81
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 4: the late the later sort of country incarnation?

82
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 2: You know, it was the country, which is an insult

83
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,120
Speaker 2: to injury. And I actually kind of felt bad for

84
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 2: the other two. You know, I don't even remember their name,

85
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 2: the other two Destiny's Child, But do you.

86
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 3: Remember they got left?

87
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,600
Speaker 1: They got let that did the our town. You know,

88
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: I'm going down to the town. What was that, Ramon?

89
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: Do you remember that I kind of liked that that

90
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 1: was a crossover, that it had an appeal to me

91
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: in early days. No, no, it's just a few years ago.

92
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 4: He had a huge hit and they gusted him up

93
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 4: like a cowboy, but he looked more like weiz Khalifa.

94
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: Huh was it a little nas Is this it okay?

95
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 1: Here we go listen to this bring Oh no, no, no, no,

96
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: it's not dirty. It was a huge hit. It was

97
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 1: called our town of the town or going down to

98
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: the town or something, and and it was kind of

99
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: a parody of But Brian Harrison, on a serious note,

100
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:13,920
Speaker 1: these Republicans are not accomplishing anything, right, like, none of

101
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: what there's no tax reform, none of it. Right.

102
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 2: Well, let me say it, what's unfortunately, what we're going

103
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 2: to accomplish once we finally start doing anything. Which, by

104
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,559
Speaker 2: the way, we had our first Friday after eleven weeks.

105
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 2: We've had long weekends every week, unconstitutional long weekends. We

106
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,679
Speaker 2: had a Friday last week. I'll walk on the floor.

107
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 2: Less than half the members even bothered to show up,

108
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:37,800
Speaker 2: and the speaker proceeded to break the constitution and declared

109
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 2: we had a quorum of one hundred members when there

110
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 2: weren't barely sixty on the floor. So he's violating the constitution.

111
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 2: He's breaking the House rules to do one thing that

112
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 2: we're probably going to do, and that's pass a budget

113
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 2: that quite frankly that that budget needs to stop. That's

114
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 2: one thing we should not do. This is the most

115
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 2: bloated liberal budget in the history of Texas, and our

116
00:05:56,279 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 2: liberal rhinos sellout. Speaker let the Democrats, joking, Democrat committee

117
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 2: chairs in the Texas House write the budget, not in

118
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 2: open appropriations here with the cameras on, but he let

119
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 2: his Democrat chairman write the budget in secret in rooms

120
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,840
Speaker 2: that have no cameras, no microphones, so the public is

121
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,280
Speaker 2: not to be able to see it. And by the way,

122
00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 2: that's the direct violation of the House rules.

123
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: So he written by Democrats twenty hours to vote to

124
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: supposedly read it.

125
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, they emailed it to us and then forced

126
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:30,840
Speaker 2: us on the committee to vote on it twenty hours.

127
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 2: I printed the whole darn thing out, plopped it on

128
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 2: the diis and put a sign under it with an

129
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 2: arrow point to the massive stack of paper, saying, this

130
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,320
Speaker 2: is the budget that nobody has read, and let me

131
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 2: tell you what it does, Michael Berry. It funds every

132
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 2: liberal priority under the sun DEI transgender. It increases funding

133
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 2: for government entities engaged in transgender ideology. And what it

134
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 2: doesn't do, this is the more offensive thing. It does

135
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 2: not fund real property Tactually, but the whole aston Unit Party,

136
00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 2: not just the house.

137
00:06:58,440 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: They're all jumping in.

138
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,920
Speaker 2: They want to take your surplus at twenty four billion

139
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 2: dollars of your money that we're just sitting on, that

140
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 2: we already overtaxed from you, took from you and we

141
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 2: didn't need it. They want to give it to liberal Hollywood.

142
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 2: We always say, don't California my Texas, but the Austin

143
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 2: established and Michael, they want to. They want a Hollywood

144
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 2: our Texas and spend five hundred million of your dollars

145
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 2: to fund liberal Hollywood. Michael, sometimes I'll wake up down here.

146
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm in Austin or Sacramento, but

147
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,000
Speaker 2: you know, actually thinking of that, if we were in Sacramento,

148
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 2: maybe one thing better about Sacramento than Austin is at

149
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 2: least the Democrats and Sacramento that they self identify.

150
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: Yeh, at least you can pin it on the Democrats.

151
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 1: Can you hold what's with us for just a moment

152
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: I can do one word. You bet it. Yeah.

153
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 4: What's important to understand, folks, is what a quorum is.

154
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 4: I want to go back. It might sound procedural, but

155
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 4: a quorum is the number of people you have to

156
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 4: have in any governing body in order to do business.

157
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,960
Speaker 4: In other words, you can't run off and have three

158
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 4: Major League Baseball players play and you hit a home

159
00:07:57,600 --> 00:07:57,960
Speaker 4: run and you go.

160
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,080
Speaker 1: We won the World Series. We didn't even get a

161
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: chance to show up. You can't just have a.

162
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 4: Game without anybody knowing. That's what they did. They violated

163
00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 4: com uh and the way they did it this is dirty.

164
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 4: Wait wait till you hear the story.

165
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 1: Time Barris show, I got the horses in the bag.

166
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 4: Horset, Brian Harrison's state representative, is our guest, and we're

167
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 4: talking about what's happening in the state House, and he's

168
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 4: been blowing the whistle on this. There are a few guys,

169
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 4: Steve Toath, Mitch Little, Brian Harrison who are every day

170
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 4: sounding the clarion call because we don't know. You don't

171
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 4: know what what the Republicans who are in control are

172
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:58,520
Speaker 4: doing to sell us out. While we're assuming they're up.

173
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 4: They're doing the right thing, and in fact, but for

174
00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:05,319
Speaker 4: these few guys telling the story, we wouldn't know, and

175
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 4: we would just assume that Republicans were representing us and

176
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 4: they're not. Brian Harrison, why don't you take just a

177
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,839
Speaker 4: moment and explain what they did to try to make

178
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 4: it look like they had achieved a quorum from putting

179
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:20,599
Speaker 4: people in the seats in all of that.

180
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, and for context, we have a last Friday. We've

181
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 2: been in session for over two and a half months,

182
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 2: and last Friday was the very first Friday we were

183
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 2: even asked to show up and do work on the floor.

184
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 2: The Speaker has sent us into unconstitutional long vacation weekends

185
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 2: three day, four day, five day vacations every single week

186
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,560
Speaker 2: for eleven plus weeks. Last Friday was the first day

187
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 2: we were asked to show.

188
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: Up on the floor.

189
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 2: And I walk in and the Speaker was going to

190
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 2: have us vote on maybe about one hundred different resolutions.

191
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 2: And I walk on the floor and I don't see anybody.

192
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:55,199
Speaker 2: I mean, it's a barren wasteland on Friday morning. And

193
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:57,600
Speaker 2: next thing I know, the Speaker's up there, gabbling down

194
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 2: and he says these words, A quorum is present Michael,

195
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 2: for your folks to listen at the Constitution of the

196
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 2: State of Texas, something we took an oath to uphold

197
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 2: and defend. It says the Texas House cannot conduct business

198
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 2: unless at least one hundred of the one hundred and

199
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 2: fifty were there. So I demanded a verification vote. He

200
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 2: tried to ignore me two times. I had to almost

201
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 2: storm the dat, storm the stage, and he got a

202
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 2: little scared, said okay, okay, okay, got it. I'll call

203
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 2: of verification, which basically means we're going to do an

204
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:28,920
Speaker 2: actual roll call. And he had the clerks come out

205
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,559
Speaker 2: and do a roll call. And sure enough, out of

206
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty people who asked Texans to vote

207
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 2: for them to work hard to save our state, only

208
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 2: sixty three out of one hundred and fifty bothered to

209
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 2: even show up for work. Even less showed up for

210
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 2: work the next day. I bet there weren't forty people

211
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:50,839
Speaker 2: the next day, maybe not even thirty. I think my

212
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,280
Speaker 2: staff counted around twenty eight actually the next day. So

213
00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,199
Speaker 2: I don't know how many Texans those of your Texans.

214
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 2: You're at your job, or you're driving to work, or

215
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 2: maybe you're working in your truck driving. If you don't

216
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 2: show up for work two days in a row, you

217
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 2: get fired. And let me tell you the worst part

218
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 2: of this, Michael, He wasn't just the Democrats. The majority

219
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,520
Speaker 2: of the Republicans in the Texas House couldn't even be

220
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,080
Speaker 2: bothered to show up for work. So on the heels

221
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,199
Speaker 2: of him trying to break the constitution to do work

222
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,120
Speaker 2: without a corn. After he broke the constitution to have

223
00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 2: long weekends for months on end, he put on the

224
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 2: bill the very first bill we debated. Even we got

225
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 2: eighty eight Republicans and thousands of Republican bills, the first

226
00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,840
Speaker 2: bill he put on the floor was a radical Democrat bill.

227
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,959
Speaker 2: After he let the Democrats lawlessly write the budget in

228
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,480
Speaker 2: secret to grow government. I said have had enough, and

229
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 2: I went to the floor yesterday and I demanded to

230
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:40,319
Speaker 2: vacate the chair. I made a motion to vacate the

231
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 2: chair to force a vote and say, you know what,

232
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 2: we had no confidence in you. You cut a deal

233
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 2: with Democrats, You've sold Texans downriver. And I make a

234
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 2: motion to vacate you. And he turned my mic off

235
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 2: four times. He wouldn't let me make the motion.

236
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: But I will tell you.

237
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 2: I'm very proud you mentioned there's a few people down

238
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 2: here will have to fight. I do have to make

239
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 2: a note of appreciation for my friend David Low, who

240
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,319
Speaker 2: is the only member of the Texas House willing to

241
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,559
Speaker 2: stand with me and sign on to that motion to

242
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 2: vacate the chair. But I don't know why every Republican

243
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 2: in Texas is not standing out to demand this trader

244
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 2: who cut a deal with fifty Democrats to let the

245
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 2: social Marxist leftist agenda move forward in the state of Texas.

246
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 2: Every elected Republican in Texas, as far as I'm concerned,

247
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 2: should be off the sidelines and in the battle for

248
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 2: the future of Texas because in the Austin Swamp, I'm

249
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 2: gonna be real straight about this, you're either visibly fighting

250
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 2: the swamp or you are the swamp, and we've got

251
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:28,840
Speaker 2: a state to save.

252
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 4: Bear's noting State Representative Brian Harrison that these folks who

253
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,040
Speaker 4: are not showing up for work, who are taking these

254
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 4: long weekends the way most working people cannot do, if

255
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:43,520
Speaker 4: this is not a break from years of hard work.

256
00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 4: The legislature only meets.

257
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 1: Every second year, and that too for one hundred and

258
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: forty days so it's not like this is a full

259
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:53,720
Speaker 1: time job and they've been at it for three years.

260
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: They haven't even been in session for two years. So

261
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,559
Speaker 1: when they are in session, they come, they do it

262
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: Beyonce Proclamation, and then they all go out and vacation again.

263
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: This is ridiculous.

264
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 2: It's a social party. Imagine if you gave the most

265
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 2: immature and drunk frat at any college the keys of

266
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,160
Speaker 2: the castle, the keys of the Texas government. That's basically

267
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 2: what happens down here during session. There are two. First

268
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 2: of all, we got too many Democrats that know they

269
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 2: can't get elected as a Democrats and they run as

270
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 2: the Republicans. That number one, and then number two, we

271
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 2: got a ton of folks down here who just want

272
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,839
Speaker 2: the lapel pins. They want people to call a mister

273
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 2: the honorable. They want tickets to the suite at the

274
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 2: University of Texas game. They want the cocktail hours. They

275
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 2: want to hang out with the lobbyists and get whined

276
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 2: and dined. They can't be bothered to do things like

277
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:46,960
Speaker 2: question state agencies about why they're spending billions of dollars

278
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 2: on DEI, which is what I'm doing, by the way,

279
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,000
Speaker 2: but which is why the entire Austin Union Party is

280
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 2: doing their damus to silence me because they do not

281
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 2: want people to know what's happening behind their backs. I

282
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 2: say this all the time, Michael, Transparency like kryptonite in

283
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 2: the swamp. And that's why they've got to shut conservative

284
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 2: vocal movement.

285
00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:08,760
Speaker 4: Conservative fran Harrison, you'd like you've never won, you'd never

286
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,719
Speaker 4: been one who was shy. Why don't you mention if you,

287
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 4: especially from the greater Houston area, which is where the

288
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 4: largest portion of our audience right now is from, who

289
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 4: are loyal Burroughs lieutenants who are part of all this?

290
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 4: Who are We know it's not Steve Toth That. We know,

291
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,360
Speaker 4: it's not Mitch Little, we know it's not Brian Harrison.

292
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 4: But who are the people, well.

293
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,560
Speaker 2: The people that voted with the Democrats from that area.

294
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 2: And I don't have the maps on memorize, but off hend,

295
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 2: I mean, I think we got people like I think

296
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 2: Lacey Hull voted for Burroughs. I think Mono de Ala

297
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 2: voted for for Burroughs. I'm trying to remember other folks.

298
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 2: Sam Harless, Sam Harlest voted for Dustin Burroughs. He definitely

299
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 2: voted for Dustin Burroughs.

300
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 3: Yeah.

301
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 2: And here here's what they're not doing. They're not voting

302
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 2: for Dustin Boroughs. Let me tell you what that vote was.

303
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 2: That was a vote for the fifty Democrats. That was

304
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 2: a vote to get fifty Democrats control of the Texas House.

305
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 2: There's no two ways around it. The Democrat caucus candidate

306
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,320
Speaker 2: for Speaker was Dustin Burroughs. So and I don't like

307
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 2: people even say that they voted for Burroughs because Burrows,

308
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 2: he's a human being that puts the word Republican by

309
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 2: his name, but he's selling out the brand and the

310
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 2: principles that vote, especially the House Rules Package, which I

311
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 2: call the Democrat in Powerment Act, because it gave Democrats

312
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 2: more power than they've ever had. Those votes are votes

313
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:31,400
Speaker 2: to sell out, quite frankly, the voters who they work for,

314
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 2: who want Republican leadership, who want conservative Republican leadership, and Texans,

315
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 2: you know, they've had years and years of many Republicans

316
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,640
Speaker 2: going home after voting for bigger government. Get this, Michael,

317
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 2: my friend Van Skin and I Trump, former Trump White

318
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 2: House economists, we put out data a coelp months ago

319
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 2: shocking the Texas government was actually smaller and growing slower

320
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 2: when Democrats ran the state than since two thousand and

321
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 2: three when we've been under all Republican control.

322
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: And that's just a sad state.

323
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 2: Republicans have to become the party of small government and

324
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 2: low taxes again.

325
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:06,120
Speaker 1: Stay representative, Brian Harrison, Thank you, sir. It's good to

326
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 1: be with you. God bless Texas.

327
00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:22,680
Speaker 5: That's gay.

328
00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:31,760
Speaker 1: That you want in Holland.

329
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 5: I'm choto making with some of the we knew before

330
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:45,720
Speaker 5: became the Two Lovers. God, I loved you more. It

331
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:56,320
Speaker 5: took me by the rod when I found the great

332
00:16:58,120 --> 00:16:59,880
Speaker 5: none Mond.

333
00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 4: Kind of a tortured lyric. Not much longer would it be?

334
00:17:08,880 --> 00:17:11,440
Speaker 4: So he's heard through the great vine that he's losing

335
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:15,680
Speaker 4: his girl. I heard it through the grape vine. Not

336
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:17,680
Speaker 4: much longer would you be mine?

337
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 5: Right?

338
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 1: Doesn't roll off the tongue, But I guess that's the

339
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:31,560
Speaker 1: best they could do it, right. Do you remember the

340
00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: images of Marvin Gay at that time? The microphone, you know,

341
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:39,280
Speaker 1: it was the wand with a little bulb on the end, right,

342
00:17:39,359 --> 00:17:43,399
Speaker 1: a little tiny. When I think of that microphone, someone

343
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:47,160
Speaker 1: holding and using that microphone, you know, the first image

344
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,119
Speaker 1: that comes to my mind after Marvin Gaye, Bob Barker.

345
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: That was the Bob Barker microphone, and I don't know

346
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: what happened. I don't know, so it was a very

347
00:17:57,400 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: sleek microphone. Was the longer microphone, the little bulb on

348
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:06,199
Speaker 1: the end, which was I assume a multi directional because

349
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: you did. And then somewhere we went away with from

350
00:18:10,520 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: that two we went back to the much thicker with

351
00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: the bulb on the end, which is interesting because it's

352
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:26,360
Speaker 1: not typically the case that you go fatter in technology fatter, thicker, bigger, heavier,

353
00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:29,639
Speaker 1: But in this case we did the sort of standard

354
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,520
Speaker 1: like Saturday night for the event, the police officer event,

355
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 1: I leaned in to give a speed they had the

356
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 1: They had the kind of about a I don't know

357
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:41,320
Speaker 1: how what what you.

358
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 4: Would call the microphone that comes off the lectern and

359
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 4: then just has the little the little mic at the end,

360
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 4: a little black clock mic. I leaned in to speak

361
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,520
Speaker 4: into that, and he tapped the heavier one that I

362
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 4: held in my hand. That is.

363
00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:04,080
Speaker 1: As big as what would be the width of that thing.

364
00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,200
Speaker 4: But anyway, it's much bigger microphone and that's what almost

365
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,959
Speaker 4: everybody uses now. And if you if you watch bands,

366
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 4: if you watch speeches, they've all kind of gone to

367
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 4: that standard.

368
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 1: You know, was Ari two hundred or what is this one?

369
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: What is this one called? They've all kind of gone

370
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: to about that size.

371
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:23,240
Speaker 4: Just interesting how it got it got tiny and he

372
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 4: sounds fine there and then it went back to fat.

373
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:31,119
Speaker 1: It doesn't typically happen with technology. Let's go to Tom Petty.

374
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 1: You're on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, Hey, Michael,

375
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:36,680
Speaker 1: thanks for taking my call.

376
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:39,880
Speaker 3: I'm just kind of curious. Last couple of days, I've

377
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 3: been listening to you and there have been segments where

378
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 3: people are called in and giving their individual little Paul

379
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 3: Harvey stories, and I'm kind of curious, is it possible

380
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 3: that you guys might look into or is he even

381
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 3: conceivable that you could buy or get access to some

382
00:19:57,480 --> 00:19:59,840
Speaker 3: of those programs and actually put them on your program

383
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:00,240
Speaker 3: or not.

384
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:06,120
Speaker 4: Bobby Crumpley, who is one of our best researchers, He's

385
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 4: a listener, but he will he will often when he

386
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:11,360
Speaker 4: hears me mention something, he will chase things down.

387
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: And he is feverishly right now trying to determine he

388
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: found a place that he can buy something like three

389
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: thousand episodes for not a horrible amount of money. I

390
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: can't figure out what the scale is because I don't

391
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 1: know what it was in ten dollars increments, but I

392
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: don't know how many shows that gives you, and it's.

393
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 4: Like CDs, so we would then reduce that. In answer

394
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 4: to your question, I'm going to endeavor to persevere to

395
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 4: find out if we can make that happen and see

396
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 4: what the rebroadcast looks like. The problem is so much

397
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 4: of the use of audio for rebroadcast is very gray,

398
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 4: and so if I ask, so if I asked the

399
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 4: general counsel of our the primary company that we work

400
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 4: for that would be iHeart Media, if it would be possible,

401
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 4: would would be problematic for us to replay a rebroadcast

402
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 4: a Paul Harvey rest of the story, because remember he

403
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,520
Speaker 4: did the news. It's the rest of the story. You

404
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 4: remember the other things were the news. The rest of

405
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,640
Speaker 4: the story was was less, was not related to the news.

406
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: Of the day. It was a magazine style, it was

407
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: a it was an anecdote and then a reveal. I

408
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 1: don't know if we can do that. I'm going to

409
00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: see if I can find out.

410
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:42,960
Speaker 4: But what I was going to say about that is

411
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:48,120
Speaker 4: nobody wants to say yes, because there is liability, real

412
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:57,200
Speaker 4: liability if you broadcast something without rights that is considered protected,

413
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 4: and that's such a gray area, so you don't know

414
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 4: it until you kind of do it. It's one of

415
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,639
Speaker 4: those you ask for forgiveness instead of permission, but then

416
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 4: you get tagged. And I'm a little bit gunshy, but

417
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 4: I'm a lot gunshy because years ago, Chad Nakanishi, our

418
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 4: executive producer for The Weekend Review, played a certain clip

419
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 4: from a certain fellow who makes a certain statement about

420
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 4: an event beginning, and it's a call to action to

421
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 4: the crowd before, for instance, a wrestling match, and there

422
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 4: is a reference to a word that rhymes with bumble

423
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 4: or tumble or mumble.

424
00:22:54,760 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: Or well, yeah, yes, you're exactly right. So that person

425
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: Chad put that in the wee Can Review as one

426
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: of just the sound clips. Is just a snippet. Whereupon,

427
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: our company received a demand from a law firm that

428
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: literally all day long sends auto demand letters demanding and

429
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 1: I forget what.

430
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,920
Speaker 4: This one was a couple hundred thousand dollars what yep,

431
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 4: he has this many markets because it was it aired

432
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:33,520
Speaker 4: on the evening show. If it had just aired on

433
00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 4: the morning show would have been it had been a

434
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 4: lot less problematic. But he has this many markets and

435
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 4: this many million listeners, and at a cost of we

436
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 4: had misappropriated his precious audio for our own personal benefits. Okay,

437
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:57,399
Speaker 4: So rather than fight this case in the courts, our

438
00:23:57,520 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 4: company wrote a check to them, not for the amount

439
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 4: they requested, but for more than you and I make

440
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 4: in a single day. And that felt like crap, and

441
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 4: it pissed me off so badly. So as a result

442
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,120
Speaker 4: of that, I got more serious about what we replay

443
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 4: and what we don't replay. And here's the problem that

444
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:21,680
Speaker 4: people I give you an analogy, people will say, hey,

445
00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:23,439
Speaker 4: I got an idea.

446
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,600
Speaker 1: It's gonna make a lot of money, a billion, trillion,

447
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 1: gazillion billion dollars. Okay, what is it?

448
00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 3: Can't tell you?

449
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,600
Speaker 1: How come someone else stay it? It's not the idea.

450
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 1: We don't lack ideas. Here's your idea. How about if

451
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 1: I could fly? Oh, I hadn't thought about it, almost

452
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: to your idea. It's not the idea, it's the execution,

453
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,800
Speaker 1: the research, the capital, the manufacturer.

454
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 2: Right.

455
00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,960
Speaker 4: So these people want to guard the use of their

456
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 4: intellectual property in such a way. I've told this story

457
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 4: in our industry to other members of the media nationally,

458
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 4: and people have their stories on that person and what happened.

459
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,399
Speaker 4: And as a result, it doesn't get played ever, and

460
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,640
Speaker 4: I hope it dies out. I hope nobody ever plays

461
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 4: it again and it dies out. Yeah, because I'm condictive trade.

462
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:21,720
Speaker 5: Oh yes, it show.

463
00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 1: Do you know why I can't forget to know when

464
00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: I go all my song?

465
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:37,400
Speaker 5: When I had you there?

466
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:48,120
Speaker 1: We don't talk enough about this song considered by many

467
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: of the original power bud don't think of Mariah Carey's

468
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:56,040
Speaker 1: stupid version. Harry Nielson, right here, this is it boosted up.

469
00:25:56,280 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: This is a vocal performance right here. Can't it is

470
00:26:03,600 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: without you?

471
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:21,240
Speaker 5: Can't, I can't do it. I can't.

472
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: Well, I can't forget the see of your faces.

473
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 5: You.

474
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:41,720
Speaker 1: But I guess that's the last major vocal performance of

475
00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 1: note by Harry Nilson. He still recorded, but not in

476
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: this voice. He and John Lennon got in a late

477
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 1: night screaming contents and he busted his vocal voice in

478
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: his vocal cord. Yeah. True story written by Bad Finger

479
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 1: And if you don't know the story about Bad Fingers, that.

480
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,920
Speaker 4: Is worth your time, especially if you're a Beatles fan.

481
00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 4: Badfinger wrote this song and recorded it to no great success,

482
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:16,040
Speaker 4: and Harry Nilsen picks it up and makes it. I

483
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 4: think he took it to number one. Not positive, but

484
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 4: Badfinger wrote come and get it no matter what, day

485
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 4: after day, baby Blue. Badfinger wrote some good songs.

486
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 1: The two leads of the band committed suicide like five

487
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 1: seven years apart, a few years after all of this.

488
00:27:40,560 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: They're one of those interesting bands that just keep popping

489
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,399
Speaker 1: up because I think they were on Apple Records and

490
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: McCartney loved them. I absolutely loved him. Of course, Harry.

491
00:27:50,800 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 4: Nielsen was was best friends with John Lennon, so that

492
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,080
Speaker 4: was how Harry Nelson came to record the song.

493
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,199
Speaker 1: But Badfinger is is an interesting.

494
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 4: Band to do a deep dive on if we ever

495
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 4: do a music documentary podcast which is less nerdy and

496
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 4: just more enjoyable conversational music, because I don't think there's

497
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 4: enough of that. I love the top five hundred songs

498
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 4: of rock and roll that that Andrew dude does, but

499
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 4: he's so whiny, bitchy and neurotic, and he brings in

500
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:30,920
Speaker 4: his just goofy, goofy left wing political stances, and the

501
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:32,960
Speaker 4: other thing, if you heard it. The other thing he

502
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 4: does is he says, in this just terrible English accent,

503
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 4: he says that he wants to warn you that this

504
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 4: episode is going to be very traumatic for you. He

505
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,080
Speaker 4: says it in such very serious terms, very traumatic for you.

506
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:53,240
Speaker 4: And there's going to be a reference to smoking, and

507
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 4: there's going to be a reference to an extramarital affair,

508
00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:00,640
Speaker 4: and there's going to be a reference to violent because

509
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 4: you know, ike turn or knock the snot out of

510
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 4: Tina or whatever else. And he does this whole thing,

511
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 4: and he says, if any of those are going to

512
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:12,000
Speaker 4: be upsetting to you, then refer to the transcript instead.

513
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 4: So wait, so I can't hear you say the word,

514
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 4: but I can read it. I'm triggered if you say

515
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 4: the word but I can read it. Or as you're

516
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 4: reading it, do you somehow notice that he's about to

517
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 4: mention that I's gonna smack Tina again, and that way

518
00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:32,240
Speaker 4: you can skip for a paragraph. It's the dumbest thing ever.

519
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,760
Speaker 4: But anyway, I've thought it would be fun to do

520
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 4: a very I'll never do it because it's too lazy,

521
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:42,560
Speaker 4: but it would be fun. To do a music podcast

522
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 4: that was more accessible. I think that the ones you

523
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 4: have you have to go too deep into it, like

524
00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,880
Speaker 4: they nerd out. It'd be more fun to have a

525
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,160
Speaker 4: have one that's just conversational, relaxed, and you could learn things,

526
00:29:55,640 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 4: and you learn things putting it on because you have

527
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:01,280
Speaker 4: to research to do it. An email from Angie Briant

528
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 4: says Zara, listening to the show this morning about Colony

529
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 4: Ridge and their association with Greg Abbott, all the money

530
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 4: they gave him, it seems a more appropriate name for

531
00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 4: him would be Governor Hot.

532
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: Deals instead of hot Wheels. Now the reason I read

533
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 1: that is because it's funny and b I've been wanting

534
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:28,160
Speaker 1: to address this issue and I think now it's an

535
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: appropriate time for that. Remember, we're going to have an

536
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: adult conversation here, So I don't know if you've got

537
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 1: some music that it's not It's not not a funeral,

538
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 1: not a wedding, it's not the end of the world.

539
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: It's mostly me just, you know, trying to give myself

540
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,040
Speaker 1: credit for saying something that no one else will say

541
00:30:45,400 --> 00:30:48,440
Speaker 1: but everyone knows. And so I kind of want to Laurel,

542
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 1: you know, I want to be I want everybody to

543
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: appreciate that. You know, look at me, how great I

544
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: am for doing what I'm about to do. So I

545
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: just I want to I want to put a bow

546
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 1: on that, so y'all know what I'm about to do.

547
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 1: So last week, Jasmine Crockett referred to Greg Abbott as

548
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:10,240
Speaker 1: Governor hot wheels because I don't know if y'all know

549
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 1: he's in a wheelchair. And what are we doing? Is

550
00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: what's going on with this? What mood is in your mind?

551
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 4: What mood is this setting? Oh around the campfire? Okay,

552
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 4: do it again? Oh okay, yeah, okay, I can do

553
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 4: that kind of.

554
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: Garrison Keeler meets city slickers.

555
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 4: Okay, got it all right. So Jasmine Crockett is having

556
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 4: a moment. It could end up lasting a long time

557
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 4: or she could flame out. My guess is she's gonna

558
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,360
Speaker 4: get There's two ways Jasmine Crockett goes down.

559
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: Number one is an.

560
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 4: Investigation by the IRS, FBI, some other organization that she

561
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,760
Speaker 4: takes a bribe or she does something awful and horrible

562
00:32:02,800 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 4: that's a federal crime, and they announce it and she's like,

563
00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 4: they trying to take me down, and it becomes this,

564
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 4: you know, this big, I'm here for the fight, and

565
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 4: so she does rallies and you know that it becomes

566
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,479
Speaker 4: you know, she says the most ridiculous I'm taking them

567
00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,719
Speaker 4: all down with me, and she does this whole thing.

568
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,800
Speaker 4: That's one but that I don't think it'll take till them.

569
00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,760
Speaker 4: The other one is she gets absolutely hammered, which she

570
00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:30,680
Speaker 4: does a lot, and she plows into somebody and it's

571
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 4: caught on camera, and you know, she's butt naked.

572
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,959
Speaker 1: Out in the street, drunk, puking. Somebody's dead. Cop show up,

573
00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: she's screaming, and it's kind of over for her, and

574
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 1: she pleads out and steps down and goes on her

575
00:32:44,360 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: merry way. One of those two things is what happened.

576
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 4: But in the meantime, she's having a bit of a

577
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 4: moment because she's golden for the news. She's golden for

578
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 4: the news because people say, stop playing her moment of

579
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,280
Speaker 4: player every day. No, no, stop playing her. You're only

580
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,680
Speaker 4: gonna build her up. I hope, so I want her.

581
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 4: She is the leader of the Democrat Party.

582
00:33:03,320 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 1: I can't stand it. That's the point.

583
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 4: You know why we lost in Wisconsin yesterday, not because

584
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 4: we don't have fifty one percent of the people, because

585
00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 4: our people aren't showing up to vote because they didn't

586
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 4: understand why it's important. The only way a certain percentage

587
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 4: of the population is going to show up to vote

588
00:33:15,400 --> 00:33:17,600
Speaker 4: is when they are so scared of that crazy black

589
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 4: lady Jasmine Crockett that they show up to vote against whoever.

590
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 1: For whoever is running against her. Right, But here is

591
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:27,200
Speaker 1: the point to this whole story. So she called him

592
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 1: governor hot Wheels because she's just trying to make a

593
00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:30,600
Speaker 1: story because she wants to be talked about the next day,

594
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:33,800
Speaker 1: and I had an overwhelming number of people who email

595
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:37,280
Speaker 1: me she had jobs us harding. Whoa whoa, whoah woah

596
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:42,160
Speaker 1: whom do you know how many Republicans every day email me?

597
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: You need to get old hot Wheel every day
