1
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:09,080
Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.

2
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 2: So Michael Verie Show is on the air.

3
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:18,639
Speaker 3: The US is the first time in the history of

4
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 3: the world where a government.

5
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 2: Was organized with a constitution.

6
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 3: Laying out the rules that the individual was supreme and dominant.

7
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 3: And that is what led to the US becoming the

8
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 3: greatest country ever because it unleashed people to be the

9
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 3: best they could be, unlike.

10
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 2: It had ever happened. That's American exceptionalism.

11
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 4: Our resolve is unbroken and our purpose is unchanged to

12
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 4: delivery government that serves the American people better than ever before.

13
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 5: To win with every single facet.

14
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:51,040
Speaker 4: We're going to win so much.

15
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 5: You may even get tired of winning. And you say, please, please,

16
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 5: it's too much winning. We can't take it anymore, mister President,

17
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 5: it's too much, And I'll say.

18
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 6: No, it isn't.

19
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,759
Speaker 2: We have to keep winning. We have to win more.

20
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:07,200
Speaker 2: We're gonna win more.

21
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 4: We're gonna win so much.

22
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 2: You never didn't think that it ever would happen again.

23
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 7: A good things.

24
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,440
Speaker 3: You never didn't think they would ever get together.

25
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 5: Again, would do so to around, they would never be

26
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:19,839
Speaker 5: allowed again.

27
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 2: You never did think that it ever would happen again.

28
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 6: It was a tall, crowd city build on rocks stronger

29
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 6: than oceans, wind swept, god blessed and teeming.

30
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 2: With people of all kinds living.

31
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 6: In harmony and peace. A city with cree ports that

32
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 6: hung with commerce and creativity. And if there had to

33
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:44,320
Speaker 6: be city walls, the walls had doors, and the doors

34
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 6: were open to anyone.

35
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 2: With the will and the heart to get here. That's

36
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 2: how I saw it and see it still.

37
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 4: And we will restore and renovate our nations once great cities,

38
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 4: making them safe, clean.

39
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 2: And beautiful again.

40
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 4: And that includes our nation capital.

41
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 8: You never did.

42
00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 7: Again.

43
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 9: You never did anything that we'd.

44
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 2: Never get together again would have.

45
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 4: Under my plan, incomes will skyrocket, inflation will vanish completely,

46
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 4: jobs will come roaring back, and the middle class will

47
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 4: prosper like never ever before.

48
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 2: And we're going to do it very rapidly.

49
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 4: I will bring back the American dream. Your expectations are

50
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 4: not big enough, not big enough. It is time to

51
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 4: start expecting and demanding the best leadership in the world.

52
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 4: Leadership that is bold, dynamic, relentless, and fearless.

53
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 2: We can do that. We are Americans.

54
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 4: Ambition is our heritage, Greatness is our birthright.

55
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 2: And you never did it happened again?

56
00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 9: You never did thing?

57
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 10: Never get together a.

58
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 2: Great humility.

59
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 4: I am asking you to be excited about the future

60
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 4: of our country.

61
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 2: Be excited. Be excited. Mac By the way, give me

62
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: some details.

63
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 8: This morning he put down two point two to win

64
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,120
Speaker 8: four point four, so he would have had six point

65
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 8: six returned.

66
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 2: But it was a two to one return, he said.

67
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:42,040
Speaker 8: But the way I have to rationalize it and deal

68
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:43,839
Speaker 8: with it. I think he's saying this because his wife

69
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 8: may be in the same room and she says he

70
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 8: gambles too much. The two point two million was an

71
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 8: investment in advertising because we sold about six million dollars

72
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 8: worth of furniture because of this promotion. And It's Michael

73
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 8: Berry Show listeners. They are the absolute how about that?

74
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 8: The only sad part is it would have been really

75
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 8: fun to give people back their money.

76
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 2: Would have won Harvey.

77
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 8: What would have been like Hurricane Harvey bringing the community together.

78
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 8: Something to be said for that. I went to the

79
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 8: University of Houston starting in nineteen eighty nine through nineteen

80
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,679
Speaker 8: ninety three, and my professor, Lawrence Curry, my favorite professor,

81
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 8: taught there for over fifty years. He estimated that he

82
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 8: taught twenty thousand students over the years, and there were

83
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 8: members of the faculty and members of the staff and

84
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 8: members of his family who stood up and spoke. It

85
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 8: was a memorial because he had died nine days earlier,

86
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 8: and it was over on Lawndale on the east end,

87
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 8: right on the Bayou Forest Park, which has been there forever.

88
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 8: That's where he's going to be buried, about ten feet

89
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:55,560
Speaker 8: from Jesse Jones, which is sort of cool because Professor

90
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 8: Cray was not a man of means, but you know,

91
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 8: he made a lowly college professor's salary for a non researcher,

92
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 8: non scholar, non you know, favored.

93
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 2: He just taught. He just taught year after year after year.

94
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 2: That's what he loved to do.

95
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 8: And I don't remember why I brought that up. So

96
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 8: University of Houston, when I was there, I was in

97
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,599
Speaker 8: the Honors College, which was like a college within the college,

98
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 8: and I lived on campus, and I was a resident

99
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 8: advisor and I was student by a president, so it

100
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 8: was very involved in campus life. So I had an

101
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 8: actual campus life the way that probably eighty percent of

102
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 8: people that go to UH never will UHS at least

103
00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 8: used to be largely a commuter campus. Our average age

104
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 8: when I started at eighteen was twenty seven point one. Well,

105
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 8: how do you get to twenty seven point one? Is

106
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,919
Speaker 8: an average age average, not media an average. When you

107
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 8: got incoming freshman at eighteen, it means you got a

108
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 8: lot of people that are thirty six to balance that out, right,

109
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 8: So for every nineteen year old, you got to have

110
00:06:01,920 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 8: a thirty five year old, and on and on and on.

111
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 8: So you got a lot of older students. And a

112
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 8: lot of those students started at tech or A and

113
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,880
Speaker 8: m or UT and they bombed out and they came

114
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 8: home and they got their degree there while they went

115
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 8: to work. Because mommy and daddy said, hey, we paid

116
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 8: for you to go off to school. You proved you

117
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 8: couldn't do it. Is what we're gonna do. We're gonna

118
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 8: get over this, all right. You're gonna lay off the booze.

119
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 8: You're gonna lay off to going to parties. You're gonna

120
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,279
Speaker 8: get a job. You can live in a garage apartment,

121
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 8: so you got a little privacy, and you're gonna go

122
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 8: back to you edge and get your degree. And yes,

123
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 8: we will pay for that, but we're not paying for

124
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 8: you to go off and party and get a zero

125
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 8: point zero and never show up to class. So you're

126
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,239
Speaker 8: going to turn this thing around. That is a very

127
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 8: very common thing. It's also very common that people would

128
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 8: be a secretary or a low level corporate executive and

129
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 8: go back and get their cause degree. But one of

130
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 8: the things people ask about is school spirit, and it

131
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 8: wanes and rises over the years at the University of

132
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 8: US and they've really worked on it, but there's no

133
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 8: doubt that A and M and UT have that spirit.

134
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 8: They have that sense of connection. A and M works

135
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:16,480
Speaker 8: very hard at it. They're very evocative, they're very demonstrative

136
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 8: in it with their whoops, and there are various things

137
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 8: that they do. The University of Texas is less overt,

138
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 8: but no less intense. The connection that people have to

139
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 8: going to the school and the moments they had there,

140
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 8: those experiences at connection and they carry them with them

141
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 8: for the rest of their lives. There are other schools

142
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 8: that have different experiences, but that matters. A sense of

143
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 8: belonging matters, and I would argue that a moment like

144
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:49,280
Speaker 8: that left a lot of Americans feeling that this once

145
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 8: a year experience had been sapped and that he brought

146
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 8: his new family and left behind us the old one,

147
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 8: and that in pursuit of a foreign market. You know,

148
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 8: there were moments when less Alexander had the rockets that

149
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 8: it felt like he was trying to sell China more

150
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 8: than he was Houston, and it was sort of odd.

151
00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 7: You know.

152
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 2: There was the Yao ming, there was the German lynn.

153
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 2: Okay to your calls, we go. I've talked to them

154
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 2: seven one three nine nine one thousand.

155
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 8: And by the way, you could, You're free to disagree

156
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:17,840
Speaker 8: with me. I'm not gonna bite your head off. Seven

157
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 8: one three nine nine one thousand.

158
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 2: Michael Berry Show continues, All.

159
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 8: There is this silly little thing that people do who

160
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 8: have some international connection. They've married someone from a foreign country,

161
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 8: They've traveled abroad a little, they like to eat foods

162
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 8: from foreign and they love it. A moment like this,

163
00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 8: I get the emails that we said call in, but

164
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 8: this idea that you know, we need to stop hating

165
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:02,600
Speaker 8: foreign people, we need to embrace the world. And what

166
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 8: this is really about, which is what most people's opinions

167
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 8: on everything are about, is look at me, Look at me.

168
00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:14,560
Speaker 8: I've traveled, I speak Spanish or whatever language they speak.

169
00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 8: I have friends from those cultures. Okay, but that doesn't

170
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,959
Speaker 8: mean that you want to change our entire country into that.

171
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 8: I can travel to Africa, in India and Latin America

172
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 8: and do, but I don't want to change our country

173
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 8: into it. And the fact that you do it is

174
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,560
Speaker 8: really more about you wanting to present yourself as the

175
00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 8: highly sophisticated citizen of the world. Most people live in

176
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 8: the county where they were born and happily so married

177
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 8: somebody from the region, worship in the same religion and

178
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 8: denomination into which they were born. And guess what, in

179
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 8: every other culture we celebrate that. Somehow Americans are bad

180
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 8: for it, since not that all seven Ethan?

181
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:04,160
Speaker 1: You are you?

182
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 2: You are the first call of the day, You're the

183
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:06,600
Speaker 2: first call of the week.

184
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 11: Be excellent, all right, So no pressure.

185
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 2: Are you Jewish?

186
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 7: No?

187
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:19,480
Speaker 2: Do I sound Jewish?

188
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 9: No?

189
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 2: No, I just meet a lot of Ethans that are Jewish.

190
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:24,160
Speaker 12: You're not the first person to ask me that question,

191
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 12: But no, I'm not Jewish.

192
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 2: Ethan. I'm getting real bad reception for you. Are you

193
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 2: in a tunnel? I am on the road.

194
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 12: Hall, let me switch off my AirPod.

195
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,960
Speaker 8: Yeah, just so y'all know, everybody's never worked there's something

196
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 8: about the way our signal picks it up.

197
00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 2: You're never you're always going to sound bad on it.

198
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 2: All right, go ahead, all right? So are you a

199
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 2: long high driver?

200
00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 7: No?

201
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 2: What do you do?

202
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: All right?

203
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 12: I work in radio two. I'm just on the road

204
00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 12: right now.

205
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 2: You do what?

206
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 11: Yeah?

207
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 12: I work in radio. I'm just driving right now.

208
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 11: I was on the road trip.

209
00:10:57,679 --> 00:10:59,959
Speaker 8: Are you the guy that I had some people over

210
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 8: a couple weekends ago and you emailed and said you'd

211
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 8: like to come?

212
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 7: That might have been me?

213
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 8: Yeah, no, no, you could have come. I didn't see

214
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 8: your message until late. I don't think we've met.

215
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 7: Have we we met once?

216
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 2: Where?

217
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 12: Briefly?

218
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 2: Briefly?

219
00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,600
Speaker 12: Where was that some sponsorship thing?

220
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 2: Okay?

221
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 12: I had come up and shook your hand. But I

222
00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 12: think what the halftime showed that it's a it's a

223
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 12: crime of intent, right, I mean, I don't think there's

224
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 12: necessarily anything wrong with Oh yeah, I'm of this culture

225
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 12: and this heritage, and you know, different flavors of white

226
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 12: folks do that all the time. You know, I'm I'm

227
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 12: Scotch heritage on Irish heritage whatever. People people celebrate that,

228
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,760
Speaker 12: and that's fine. And San Antonio is also a great

229
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:48,720
Speaker 12: example of that, where they have a very vibrant kind

230
00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 12: of Hispanic culture, but it's normally kind of in service

231
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 12: of But now I'm American, so you have to kind

232
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 12: of look at at what the intent is with the

233
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 12: halftime show. I'd I don't think it was, you know, about,

234
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:05,199
Speaker 12: you know, just honoring this other culture. It definitely wasn't about,

235
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 12: you know, just bringing in more Hispanic viewers to the NFL,

236
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,559
Speaker 12: which is the claim I've seen a lot on online.

237
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 12: There's no shortage of Hispanic NFL fans in the United

238
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 12: States of America, So it's your entire goal is to

239
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,960
Speaker 12: just bring in more Hispanic fans. That's a new point.

240
00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 12: Hispanic Americans by and large are already NFL fans, So

241
00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:27,560
Speaker 12: what are you doing?

242
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 8: Very well made point, ethan, very very well made, very

243
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:40,839
Speaker 8: well structured argument. First of all, I think we paint

244
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 8: with too broad a brush the concept of what I

245
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,000
Speaker 8: call Hispanicity, which I've never heard anyone else say the word,

246
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,840
Speaker 8: but it makes sense and I like it. So Ramon

247
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 8: is as Hispanic as a Puerto Rican who lands in

248
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 8: New York tomorrow. He's as Hispanic of the Spanish diet

249
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 8: Aspera descendants, of the Spanish tradition language over centuries, right,

250
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 8: and then we went from Hispanic with that meaning, which

251
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:17,199
Speaker 8: were basically the descendants of the Spaniards who came from Spain,

252
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 8: but including span into Latin America and the Caribbean nations

253
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 8: that weren't French, so say Haiti, there's some others, Jamaica,

254
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 8: and then and then there was more sort of a

255
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 8: brown pride movement of a Latin America, and then we

256
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 8: came up with Latino. But when you understand it's a

257
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,200
Speaker 8: very complicated group of people in this country. Let's take Ramon,

258
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 8: who is a multi generation person of Hispanic heritage versus

259
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 8: a first generation Hispanic who arrives here as a child

260
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 8: and as an adult can still trill their rs and

261
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 8: and speak passable Spanish and order at the restaurant and

262
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 8: and these sorts of things and and do an eyepoppy

263
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,079
Speaker 8: better than you know the white guys in the group,

264
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:12,760
Speaker 8: but not in any way identifying with the Latin American

265
00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 8: country of their origin.

266
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 2: And then you go to the.

267
00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 8: Second generation and you start deluding that connection over a

268
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 8: period of time, and then and then you've got folks

269
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 8: that just arrived, and then you got folks that live

270
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 8: in Latin American countries now, and so there is this

271
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 8: attempt to say, well, we got to appeal to Ramone. Well,

272
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 8: Ramon's are at an NFL fan and he's the whitest guy

273
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 8: you'll ever meet. You didn't need to appeal to him.

274
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 8: He doesn't identify with bad bunny. You don't know who

275
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:37,840
Speaker 8: that is.

276
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 2: Did you know who that was? Did you honestly know? Okay,

277
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 2: I didn't think so. He didn't know who that was.

278
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 8: So there is this idea that this is outreach, and

279
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 8: this is where old white people get into trouble. You've

280
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 8: got you've got these billionaire owners that thought, ah, you know,

281
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 8: somebody came in with the presentation and they brought out

282
00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 8: a deck and they showed, look, there's no America grow in.

283
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 8: The American market is static, it's flat. There's no room

284
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 8: left for growth in the American market. The growth is

285
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 8: our neighbors to the south. Look at this. Well, first

286
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 8: of all, let's just talk about that as a business strategy.

287
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 8: They know their business better than I do, but they've

288
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 8: screwed the pooch a few times.

289
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 2: The kneeling thing.

290
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 8: People who know football is a unique sport because it

291
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 8: requires a lot of gear and it's.

292
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 2: Very rules intensive.

293
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 8: It's not a sport like soccer you can pick up

294
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 8: on Monday and by Wednesday have the hang of it,

295
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 8: kick the ball into that goal. I'm going to talk

296
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 8: about the penalty shots on but by and large it's

297
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 8: a much more complicated game to learn it and baseball.

298
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 8: But baseball picked up in Latin America and it's probably

299
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 8: the second most popular sport behind only soccer.

300
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 2: These are people, you.

301
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 8: Can say this consistently from Mexico all the way down

302
00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 8: to Chile over into the east of the Caribbean. Soccer

303
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 8: is the dominant sport and there are reasons for that.

304
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,680
Speaker 8: A lot of them socioeconomy. You can throw a soccer

305
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 8: ball or something resembling the same into a lot and

306
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 8: kids can play with it. The second most popular was baseball.

307
00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 8: Those kids don't play football, they don't go to football games,

308
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 8: they don't know anyone who.

309
00:16:21,880 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 2: Coaches football or places.

310
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 8: Well, you're not going to pick up football fans because

311
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,160
Speaker 8: bad Bunny played it at halftime. I think this was

312
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 8: a I think they bungled this. I really do. When

313
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,960
Speaker 8: I was a baby lawyer in nineteen ninety six, my

314
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 8: wife was in was beginning her second year of Price

315
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 8: of law, and I was the term is a baby lawyer.

316
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 8: I was worried for from called Jenkins Gilchrist at eleven hundred, Louisiana,

317
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 8: And for the first time in my life, I had

318
00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 8: a little money in my pocket going genuin inga land

319
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 8: and I thought I was somebody, and I went and

320
00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:57,960
Speaker 8: I went to men's warehouse and bought myself some suits

321
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:03,880
Speaker 8: and some ties and some shirts and some dress shoes.

322
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 8: And it wasn't anything fancy, far from it, but I

323
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 8: had several because I was going to need to wear

324
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 8: a suit every day. And I would drive into downtown

325
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 8: Houston every day, park in my parking garage, go over,

326
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 8: get my coffee. At the there was a station set up.

327
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 8: We had our own coffee station and the like. We

328
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:29,240
Speaker 8: were a big time. I had an assistant named Mary Cummings.

329
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 8: And back in those days, this was before the phone

330
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 8: that you carried around and used.

331
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:34,680
Speaker 2: Quite like that.

332
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 8: We might've had a cell phone, but it wasn't a

333
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:41,400
Speaker 8: big part of our lives. There was a little recorder

334
00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:45,199
Speaker 8: you would use for dictation, and so the way you

335
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 8: do voice detects, well, we did voice detect into a recorder.

336
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:51,120
Speaker 8: So when I would come in every morning, there would

337
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 8: my recorder would be on my desk, and I would

338
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 8: pick it up and start barking orders. And when I

339
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 8: went to lunch, I would take it out and put

340
00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,399
Speaker 8: on Mary's desk and she'd.

341
00:17:59,119 --> 00:17:59,800
Speaker 2: Hand me another one.

342
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:01,800
Speaker 8: I take it with me, and as I was walking,

343
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 8: I would dictate messages, return Ramon's phone call and let

344
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 8: him know that I'll be there at three o'clock for

345
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 8: the meeting. And oh, I felt so important, so very important,

346
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:17,679
Speaker 8: because you go from being a student your whole life

347
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 8: till till you're twenty five years old, to all of

348
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 8: a sudden you're making money.

349
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:23,399
Speaker 2: I was making good money. It was seventy eight.

350
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 8: Thousand dollars in nineteen ninety six, way more money my

351
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,360
Speaker 8: dad had ever made. It my first job, my first

352
00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:32,400
Speaker 8: job after school, anyway, and my wife was making by

353
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:34,399
Speaker 8: that time, she was making that much in her second

354
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,880
Speaker 8: year at Hainesen Boone, another firm that was at one

355
00:18:36,880 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 8: thousand Louis in the next door building. And sometimes we

356
00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:44,280
Speaker 8: would leave and we would be late at night. You're tired,

357
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 8: but we had money now, I mean, we were rich,

358
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 8: felt it anyway, And we would eat at the fancy

359
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 8: restaurants that we'd only heard about, and there was one

360
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 8: that was legendary and that was Josephine And do you

361
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 8: remember Josephine's.

362
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 2: I got a message this.

363
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:10,959
Speaker 8: Morning from Scott Arthur that John Stareimsky's family and Josephine

364
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:14,600
Speaker 8: asked me to let you know that John passed. They

365
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 8: said you were a frequent customer and that you would

366
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,159
Speaker 8: want to be aware that he is gone, and to

367
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:24,160
Speaker 8: remind you that they are big fans. Blessings A voice

368
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:25,760
Speaker 8: from the past, Scott Arthur.

369
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 2: Do you know where Scott worked? Can be a me? Yeah?

370
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 2: What time?

371
00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:36,360
Speaker 8: It was before I was in town, So I don't

372
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 8: know when I met Scott Arthur for the first time.

373
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 8: I met him through the rodeo. Remember he would bring

374
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 8: the rodeo folks around and they would bring the food

375
00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,080
Speaker 8: and it was a big deal. And I knew that

376
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 8: he was kind of a radio legend, but I didn't

377
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 8: know why I had not heard him.

378
00:19:51,080 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 2: I just heard of him. Anyway.

379
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:57,160
Speaker 8: For those of you who enjoyed Josephine's in downtown, great

380
00:19:57,160 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 8: Italian restaurant on Caroline, John st Rinski has passed away.

381
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 8: R Jay on the black line, go ahead, brother and Michael.

382
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,200
Speaker 11: I didn't watch a minute of that football extraud again

383
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 11: the last night. I'm a fan, not a fanatic. I

384
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 11: enjoyed the sport itself, but I feel like they're doing

385
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 11: to me same thing they're doing to a lot of

386
00:20:19,359 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 11: people the country, and they're segregating us or separating us

387
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,159
Speaker 11: from this sport that we love. Typically, when there's not

388
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 11: the star power of the groundtos like there was yesterday,

389
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,560
Speaker 11: you can lean into some of the celebrities that come on,

390
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 11: or you can lean into the halftime show. But you

391
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 11: can see also with the celebrities, they have their talking

392
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,080
Speaker 11: point and with a halftime show they did the same thing.

393
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 11: So it's funny that those of us that watch the

394
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,640
Speaker 11: sport to enjoy it, we have the pride in our

395
00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 11: country and what we love and what we enjoyed, and

396
00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 11: there's a problem with that. Right, you can have Latin flied,

397
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:53,919
Speaker 11: you can have pride in every other thing, but you

398
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 11: can't be proud to be an American.

399
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,920
Speaker 7: Right. You can have pride in any little eyelander from

400
00:20:57,960 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 7: any other country, but when you have pride in the man,

401
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,680
Speaker 7: there's an issue. And the funny thing is most of

402
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,239
Speaker 7: these people would speak in German or speaking Chinese if

403
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 7: it wasn't for the Americans. So I just want to

404
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 7: make sure that people keep in mind the reason why

405
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,399
Speaker 7: this world is the free world that it is is

406
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 7: because of America. You may not like what we do

407
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,480
Speaker 7: and what we stand for, but those of us that

408
00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 7: are Americans that haven't been catered and haven't had some

409
00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,800
Speaker 7: fallen into this, this insanity of just these little sound

410
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 7: bites and trying to be part of something we really

411
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:27,640
Speaker 7: stand for, something.

412
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:28,440
Speaker 2: That's exactly right.

413
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:33,119
Speaker 8: I will I will piggyback your point by adding this.

414
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 8: When I travel to Latin America. We were in Puerto

415
00:21:38,280 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 8: Rico not this past thanks Thanksgiving before, and people try

416
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,400
Speaker 8: to speak to me in English. I say to them

417
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 8: in Spanish. No, no, no, only in Spanish. I only want

418
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 8: to speak Spanish. But I speak They'll say, but I

419
00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 8: speak English.

420
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 2: I know, so do.

421
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 8: I I speak English all day every day in the US.

422
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,199
Speaker 8: I want to speak Spanish here. And then eventually they

423
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 8: just kind of get comfortable. Oh okay, all right. When

424
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 8: when people come to the NFL as a fan, wherever

425
00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:13,760
Speaker 8: they may be, let's say they're Latin American. I don't,

426
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 8: let's say the Puerto Rican I don't think they come

427
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 8: to an NFL experience with the hope that it'll be

428
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:25,600
Speaker 8: just like the soccer matches they watch all day every day.

429
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:29,880
Speaker 8: I don't think they think to themselves, I hope there's

430
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 8: the Puerto Rican flag. It's all in Spanish, and Ricky

431
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:38,880
Speaker 8: Martin will keep singing. They have that all day every day.

432
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 8: They come to the American experience to see what the

433
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 8: Americans are doing. That's what's interesting is that this culture

434
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,800
Speaker 8: has developed to be such that people all over the

435
00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 8: world are interested in it. We don't need to hang

436
00:22:55,880 --> 00:22:58,120
Speaker 8: we don't need to give them a mirror on their culture.

437
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,680
Speaker 8: Several people told me, do you know how that made

438
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 8: children feel in Latin America to see someone who looks

439
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 8: like them, someone who look like them, who speaks like them.

440
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,360
Speaker 2: They get that all day every day.

441
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,920
Speaker 8: They didn't tune into the NFL for that.

442
00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:18,720
Speaker 2: That's just it.

443
00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:25,800
Speaker 8: You're told that Latinos are very proud of their culture. Well,

444
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,080
Speaker 8: I'm proud of my culture too.

445
00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:31,960
Speaker 2: You can't have a culture. Your culture is everybody's culture. No,

446
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:32,840
Speaker 2: I have a culture.

447
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:34,360
Speaker 7: I do.

448
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,679
Speaker 2: I have a very distinct culture, and I'm proud of

449
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 2: that culture.

450
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 8: And bad bunnies singing in Spanish and dress and wearing

451
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:46,360
Speaker 8: a dress and doing all that nonsense.

452
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 2: That's not part of my culture. That's not part of

453
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:49,880
Speaker 2: my culture.

454
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 8: My culture includes people from Latin American countries, but my

455
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 8: culture is not Latin American. My culture is not Spanish.

456
00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:01,480
Speaker 8: That's just a fact. And I'm proud of my culture,

457
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,239
Speaker 8: and I get to be proud of my culture. And

458
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 8: if you think I shouldn't be proud of my culture,

459
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 8: you're the problem. And it says a lot about you.

460
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 8: And I'll tell you this. The people who want to

461
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 8: dilute our culture and change our culture and demean our

462
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,159
Speaker 8: culture for being proud that it is a culture, or

463
00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 8: people who didn't fit into this culture, and that's a fact.

464
00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 8: You know the kid that when he tried to throw

465
00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 8: a football it went behind him instead him in front

466
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 8: of him. He's the one now trying to make it

467
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 8: into basically soccer on a football field. You're not gonna

468
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:40,880
Speaker 8: win over the soccer fans by the way, they are adamant,

469
00:24:40,920 --> 00:24:44,679
Speaker 8: they are passionate about soccer. By the way, You're not

470
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:47,639
Speaker 8: going to win over an Englishman who plays soccer either

471
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 8: or a German. Oh, Michael, here we are. We're at

472
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 8: We're at the pub in Munchin and look at these people.

00:26:55,920 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 8: Somebody told him we got to get the Hispanics back

507
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:03,879

508
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,080

509
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:10,040
Speaker 2: We got it.

512
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:24,040

513
00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 8: I'm sorry, ranch owned rancher Spanish. And he made the

514
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,119
Speaker 8: mistake of giving a speech to the Hispanic Chamber of

515
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 8: Commerce of the State of Texas wherein he posited this

516
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:45,560
Speaker 8: statement Ken s Ted Cruse. Actually he said, Ken asked

517

Speaker 8: Ted CRUs Ken s Ted Cruz. Well we got hold

518
00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 8: of that and I used it daily, and Ted Cruise

519
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 8: to this day still laughs. When somebody from that old

520
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:04,560
Speaker 8: campaign will be around, or an old donor or whatever,

521
00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:07,040

522
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,879
Speaker 8: say Ken s Teded Cruise, and Ted Cruz loves to

523
00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:14,440
Speaker 8: tell the line, loves to tell the story of that

524
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 8: campaign in the closing days, and he would be getting

525
00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 8: up to speak before a rally in El Paso or

526
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:27,879
Speaker 8: McAllen or Lufkin, and somebody would invariably say Ken s

527
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:28,919
Speaker 8: Ted Cruz.

528
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,840
