1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,679 Speaker 1: One of the there are a lot of silly little 2 00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:06,080 Speaker 1: things we do on our show when we're not guest 3 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:09,600 Speaker 1: hosting for Clay and Buck that we've not done this week, 4 00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:13,480 Speaker 1: and the reason is it's not our show. We have 5 00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 1: to pay respect to the people whose show it is, 6 00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,600 Speaker 1: and that's Clay and Buck, and so we're a little 7 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 1: bit edgier than they are. And the reason is because 8 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,080 Speaker 1: we can get away with it when you're on When 9 00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,479 Speaker 1: you're on the platform that's that big, you can't be 10 00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:32,840 Speaker 1: out there saying, you know, just really really radical nutty 11 00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 1: stuff like we do. And so it's it's just tougher. 12 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:41,160 Speaker 1: As as a friend of mine's dad used to say, 13 00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 1: the higher up, the higher you the higher you climb 14 00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 1: the ladder, the more you're well, we'll say, but is exposed, 15 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 1: and it's true. The bigger you get, the more pressure 16 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 1: you're under. Well, one of the silly little things we 17 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 1: do is I am an inveterate name dropper. Probably already 18 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 1: figured that out, and I like to mention famous people 19 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 1: who were friends of mine. And it's obnoxious. I mean, 20 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 1: it's it's a downright obnoxious and I'm aware that it's obnoxious, 21 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,640 Speaker 1: but I still have to tell the story. And if 22 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: if somebody famous was in the room when something happened 23 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,400 Speaker 1: and that's relevant to the story, I still have to 24 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 1: tell the story. So what we did to get over 25 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 1: that is when I mentioned a famous person and and 26 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 1: say that person is my friend, then Ramon does a 27 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,479 Speaker 1: ding and so that was that's sort of like, Okay, 28 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: I'm acknowledging, I'm name dropping. So with that in mind, 29 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: we will do it one time. For those of you 30 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,479 Speaker 1: who were watching TV in about ninety to ninety three, 31 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: there used to be a show called Parker Lewis Can't Lose. 32 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: It was real popular at the time, and the star 33 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: of that show was a guy named Korynimic and he's 34 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: done a lot of other film but that was that 35 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: was it was. He was like Screech, you know, in 36 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,080 Speaker 1: terms of how big he was at the time. What 37 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:01,960 Speaker 1: do you say the Screech was big, But you don't 38 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: think that's a good Well, I didn't bring the pornography 39 00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: indus scrip. Why do you have to drag Screech. That's 40 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:11,040 Speaker 1: like saying, you know, Paul Rubin is a good actor, 41 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,799 Speaker 1: because he was a good actor. Pee wee Herman. Oh well, yeah, 42 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: but he's in the in the theater. Well, he's just 43 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: still a good actor. I mean, the guy was a 44 00:02:18,200 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: good act. You forget how big pee Wee Herman was. 45 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,320 Speaker 1: I mean that's what the officers said. I mean, this 46 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: guy was. He was a big deal to time. Anyway, 47 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: please stop distracting me, Ramone. We're trying to be serious. 48 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,519 Speaker 1: We're trying to make claim Buck proud of the job. 49 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:34,520 Speaker 1: We're doing it, not embarrass him. So anyway, my friend 50 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:38,120 Speaker 1: korn Nemac there we go m sends me a text 51 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:40,359 Speaker 1: and he said, Hey, you're probably wondering why I haven't 52 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: been to your last five parties, because I do these 53 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: parties at my house. And he said, I didn't want 54 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 1: you to think we're not buds anymore. I hadn't told anybody, 55 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 1: which I guess I'm telling people now, but just a 56 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: few um. He said, I moved to Mississippi. And I said, okay, 57 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:58,079 Speaker 1: I'm interested. Where in Mississippi? And this was all going 58 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: on in the last the last break and he said 59 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: Ocean Springs, Mississippi. I said, I've never heard of it. 60 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,000 Speaker 1: He said, we'd like to keep it that way. Beautiful 61 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,680 Speaker 1: little town outside of Biloxi on the Gulf Coast. You 62 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 1: would love it. Michael Bayou's ocean rivers, fishing, salt life 63 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: all year round. The nicest people you'll ever meet in 64 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: the world. Now, you know, they got me thinking. And 65 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: this is going to sound like I'm writing Hank Williams 66 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: Junior song or a Charlie Daniel song. But Rush limball 67 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 1: listeners are people who live in little towns that nobody 68 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: has ever heard of, that are beautiful, bucolic, idyllic little towns, 69 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: and the thought leader influencers in this country ridicule those places. 70 00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:51,560 Speaker 1: They hate them. They're what we're called in the Reagan 71 00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:56,160 Speaker 1: administration flyover country. And so what Reagan would do is 72 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: he would say, all right, flyover country US. Rush used 73 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: to explain that, in fact, I learned about this from 74 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 1: Russia years ago. Flyover country was the part in between 75 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: the two coasts because the bi coastal elite live on 76 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,119 Speaker 1: either side either coast, and the places that they fly 77 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: over that they would never stop. The small towns in 78 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: Missouri or Nebraska, they would never Those people are They're inbred, unwashed, 79 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:27,360 Speaker 1: hillbilly yokels, right, and they're unworthy of our time. They're 80 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,200 Speaker 1: all racist and their lives are horrible. Well, none of 81 00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,359 Speaker 1: that is true. That's where the real America is, places 82 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 1: that you've never been before or since. That's why I 83 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: always ask, what's the thing in your little town? Right? 84 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 1: Is it a crawfish festivals at a mosquito festival? Is 85 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 1: it the blue bonnet festival? What is what brings the 86 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: people together every year? Is it a renaissance, whatever that 87 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,760 Speaker 1: may be that the people look forward to. We were 88 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:53,599 Speaker 1: down in Galveston, which is a little seaside town south 89 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,359 Speaker 1: of Houston, just before we guest hosted last week, and 90 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 1: everybody down there was asking, Hey, you're coming from Marty 91 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: Gras and that's months away. Now. Galveston's Marty Gras is 92 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 1: not as big as New Orleans as Marty Gras, but 93 00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: the people love it just as much. These things, these moments, 94 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:15,159 Speaker 1: these markers that bring people together, just as weddings and 95 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:19,599 Speaker 1: funerals and graduations and births do. But these little towns 96 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: come together at a time like that. It's such a 97 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 1: beautiful thing, and yet it's never talked about. And that's 98 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 1: why all of this lockdown and masking and division raws 99 00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: is so horrible. Because the people in New York and 100 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,240 Speaker 1: LA and Washington, DC are shutting down little towns they 101 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 1: would never go to anyway because people are letting them 102 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,159 Speaker 1: make decisions for them. It's sad and tragic and odd. 103 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:45,560 Speaker 1: It's really odd because there's lots of little ocean springs, Mississippies, 104 00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 1: and that's where you live, and that's where I'm from. 105 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: And why on earth we let ourselves fight with our 106 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 1: neighbors in little towns that we love that, we go 107 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: to church with, that, we went to high school with that, 108 00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:02,679 Speaker 1: we played ball four or with and against that we've 109 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: you know, they come over and knock on the door 110 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: and say, hey, can we have some flour? Can we 111 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: have some sugar? And you give them the whole thing. 112 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 1: They'll bring it back tomorrow. Are their kid needs ten 113 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 1: bucks and he's at the grocery store and he forgot 114 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: his wallet, and you go, I'll get it. Tell your 115 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: dad to give it to me next week, or don't 116 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,479 Speaker 1: you don't worry about it. That's what makes America special, 117 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,120 Speaker 1: That's what makes him That text from him about here's 118 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 1: this wonderful little place, Well, I don't dare think. Well, 119 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,719 Speaker 1: if I haven't heard of it, it can't be great 120 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 1: because guess what. I've been to LA and I've been 121 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,560 Speaker 1: to New York, and I've been to the major cities 122 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,719 Speaker 1: of this country, and I didn't find peace and quiet 123 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: and love and tranquility and kindness in fellowship like you 124 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,560 Speaker 1: do in little towns. And I find it so disturbing. 125 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,080 Speaker 1: I am a confirmed Southerner, I'll admit it. I find 126 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: it so disturbing that when Joe Mansion says he's not 127 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,640 Speaker 1: voting for the build back better because it doesn't it's 128 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: bad for his state and it's bad for the country. 129 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,760 Speaker 1: We see a bunch of people Cajolia first threatening him, 130 00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: you better vote for this, Joe Mansion, or will run 131 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: you out of West Virginia. Will no, you won't. Trump 132 00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: carried West Virginia. Mansion is the only Democrat who can 133 00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: still win there, and that's not even clear that he could. 134 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 1: But they first they threatened him, and then they said, well, 135 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: the people of West Virginia are just backwoods, are they. 136 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 1: It's a higher literacy rate than the state of California 137 00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: in the state of New York. Did you know that? 138 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: But why does West Virginia get described as this awful, terrible, 139 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:34,640 Speaker 1: no good, unhappy, miserable, inbred backwoods place. It's nothing of 140 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: the sort. It's simple people living simple lives. And one 141 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 1: thing I've learned is that people who have reached a 142 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: certain state of nirvana, really advanced, people who've traveled the world, 143 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:51,880 Speaker 1: who've fought the great thoughts, who've fought the great fights, 144 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: those people lead a simple life. They don't need to 145 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: constantly be impressing other people. They don't need to be 146 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: ostentatiously displaying their their new purchases are seeking the approval 147 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 1: of some organization or some group of people. That's what 148 00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: CNN is. It's a circle, well CNN and and these 149 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,239 Speaker 1: types of places are a bunch of Chris Cuomo's trying 150 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: to out Chris Cuomo each other. That's why they're also perverted. 151 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 1: You know, Elon Musk was asked last week if he 152 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: would go on CNN to do an interview, and he said, 153 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,360 Speaker 1: I can't be on CNN. I'm not perverted enough. Do 154 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: you know that, Elon? I mean, do you know that 155 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: Chris Cuomo's producer was was was soliciting little kids to 156 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 1: have sex with It's sick and disturbing. These people were 157 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,960 Speaker 1: wound so tight. Look at you talk about mental health, 158 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:47,319 Speaker 1: you don't have mental health problems in little town, Mississippi, 159 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 1: little town, Arkansas. And I defy you. I defy you 160 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:55,680 Speaker 1: if you have allowed yourself to believe that these little 161 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: towns that are real Americana, that are still Norman Rockwell 162 00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two, that they're you know, they're not 163 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,520 Speaker 1: sophisticated because they don't have a pro football team, they 164 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: don't have a pro basketball team, or they don't have 165 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 1: a major international airport. You know what else they don't have. 166 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:14,600 Speaker 1: They don't have failing public schools, they don't have high 167 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 1: crime rates, they don't have thus selling drugs on the 168 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 1: street corner. Yeah, they don't have all those problems either. 169 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 1: You know why they don't lock their doors at night 170 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: because they sleep in comfort, because they know and love 171 00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 1: their neighbors. They know the names of their kids teachers 172 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,680 Speaker 1: because they were their teachers as well. They go to 173 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: church with them, they see them at the football game 174 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: on Friday night. It's not such a bad life. I 175 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,079 Speaker 1: grew up to that. We should stop demeaning it. If 176 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: the Left wants to do that, let them, but we 177 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,960 Speaker 1: shouldn't join in with them. The next time somebody mentions 178 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:47,439 Speaker 1: Arkansas don't go, oh, well, maybe marry your sister. That 179 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 1: doesn't happen. But you know what does happen, happiness. Why 180 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: don't you go visit the Ozarks. It's beautiful.

Why don't you drive through Kentucky 183 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:00,960 Speaker 1: and the next time somebody tells you they're ackwater meth heads. 184 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, there's those communities, But have you've been to 185 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: downtown Manhattan or La Kentucky's one of the most glorious 186 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:09,120 Speaker 1: states in the entire Union wins the last time somebody 187 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:13,040 Speaker 1: said that on a national broadcast two seconds ago.

There is 190 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:34,440 Speaker 1: breaking news that we've not necessarily confirmed, but are endeavoring 191 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:40,599 Speaker 1: to confirm, that Betty White has passed. Betty White was 192 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,079 Speaker 1: one hundred and sixty two years old. Oh, she was 193 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: ninety nine. She would have been a hundred on January seventeenth, 194 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:52,440 Speaker 1: so she was eighteen days short of a hundred years old. 195 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,439 Speaker 1: You think about this. She was on The Mary Tyler 196 00:10:55,520 --> 00:11:00,439 Speaker 1: Moore Show in seventy three, almost fifty years ago. She 197 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 1: was she was my age when she was on Mary 198 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 1: Tyler Moore. And that's forever ago.

You had just blown out of the park. 212 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:51,640 Speaker 1: You were talking a while ago, and I love to 213 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: try and follow you a local when you're home. It's 214 00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,560 Speaker 1: hard because you jumped the subjects and you keep them 215 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,400 Speaker 1: moving so fast. While ago you ran down the litany 216 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:04,120 Speaker 1: of Demick primary presidential one of these, and we couldn't 217 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,960 Speaker 1: ever watch him pick out anybody that was good until 218 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: James Cliver got on TV in South Carolina during that 219 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,000 Speaker 1: primary and says, Okay, all you people of the same 220 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: color as me, it's time to vote for Joe Biden, 221 00:12:15,080 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: and boom, to quote the late John Madden, all of 222 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: a sudden, Biden won that primary, and in about five 223 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 1: days it was over and he was the nominee. My question, 224 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 1: with your political expertise, who is pulling in the strings 225 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:33,720 Speaker 1: in the Democratic Party? George Soros, David Axelrod, James Carville, 226 00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 1: Obama and company. Clinton's Valerie Ye. Somebody has been orchestrating 227 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 1: this from the background for the last two years. And 228 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:44,679 Speaker 1: I'm reading a book. I'm finishing a book called in 229 00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 1: Trump Time by Peter Noverro. He goes point by point 230 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: by point how the debacle of COVID happened, how the 231 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 1: election was stolen, and he has references from all the 232 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 1: news sources, and it must be twenty pages of footnotes 233 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: at the back. And yeah, we can't get that in 234 00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:06,040 Speaker 1: the public forum because electronic tossing problem. I just won't 235 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 1: allow it. I mean, for goodness sakes, George Pipa Woppolus 236 00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 1: did an hour show with that steel guy trying to 237 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: resurrect the Steel Dussier about two months ago, and un 238 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 1: List literally letting him on nationally. Oh yeah, that film 239 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: still exists. It could show us, give us some proof. 240 00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,439 Speaker 1: Well I don't have proof, but it could exist. And 241 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 1: that stuff is what what sells. I mean, how do 242 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,839 Speaker 1: we overcome that so that we can kick some button 243 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: eleven months? Let me let me go back, thank you, brust. 244 00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:34,080 Speaker 1: Let me go back to the first thing you said, 245 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 1: because it's really important. I saw an interview with Nick 246 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 1: Saban and the question was asked, how come sometimes you 247 00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: win a game and you seem so angry that your 248 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: team has won, And he said, I'll jell this down. 249 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 1: He said, I don't care about winning and losing. That's 250 00:13:57,480 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 1: not what I'm seeking. And he said, y'all care about that, 251 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,079 Speaker 1: The fans care about that. He said, I care about 252 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: something deeper, more important. And what he was saying was 253 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: you can win a game and still make way too 254 00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,080 Speaker 1: many mistakes, but eventually it's going to catch up to you. 255 00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: But if you walk away from that wind thinking well 256 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 1: we won, nothing else matters, then you don't achieve your 257 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:23,160 Speaker 1: highest level of talent. It's very easy to assume that 258 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:27,480 Speaker 1: Joe Biden was some juggernaut of the Democrat primaries and 259 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,520 Speaker 1: that's why he was their candidate, because he hung around. 260 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 1: Not true. Joe Biden has no base. Joe Biden is 261 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:40,360 Speaker 1: a man without a political home. For his entire political career, 262 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: he has talked about He's Joey from the block, from 263 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 1: the hard scrabble streets of Scranton, Pennsylvania. He's always identified 264 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: as Pennsylvania because nobody knows anything about Delaware. Truthfully, nobody 265 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,920 Speaker 1: knows or cares anything about Delaware. But Pennsylvania represents the 266 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: types of states he needs, purple states, working class whites, 267 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: and that's how he tries to identify himself. Biden first 268 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,880 Speaker 1: ran in eighty eight and was driven from public life. 269 00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:17,080 Speaker 1: Go back and put into your search engine. Sam Donaldson 270 00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: and Joe Biden. Donaldson broke the news that Biden had 271 00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:24,200 Speaker 1: been had been basically convicted in the court of public 272 00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 1: opinion of plagiarism. He'd claimed he was at the top 273 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:27,920 Speaker 1: of his law school class. He was at the bottom. 274 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,280 Speaker 1: He had claimed that he was an all a student. 275 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 1: He was, and he'd claimed alls. But then he gave 276 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: a speech by Neil Kinnock. And you can't imagine doing 277 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:36,520 Speaker 1: this today, but back then you could try it. Who 278 00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:39,440 Speaker 1: was a labor leader in England in the seventies, and 279 00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:46,640 Speaker 1: he'd ripped the speech off. He just absolutely ripped the 280 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: speech off. You fast forward eighty eight, two thousand and eight, 281 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 1: twenty twenty. Biden was never going to be the candidate, 282 00:15:53,720 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: but you said something very intuitive. Clebern one South Carolina 283 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,440 Speaker 1: for Joe Biden, and you want to dig past COVID, 284 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,280 Speaker 1: there were some dirty things done in that election. Go 285 00:16:06,360 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 1: back and look at what Cleburne's daughter did in that 286 00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 1: election and how they won that for Biden, and that's 287 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,560 Speaker 1: what resurrected him. Without that, they're left without Biden and 288 00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: they have no nominee. Kamala is already out of the election. 289 00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: It starts looking real, real ugly for them. And they 290 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: know this coming up. They know they have trouble with Biden. 291 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 1: They know they can't win with Kamala. Michael Berry and 292 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: for Clay Travis and Buck Sexton more coming up. Of 293 00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 1: all the technological advancements, we are still at our route 294 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:50,480 Speaker 1: engaging in the spoken word. What a beautiful thing, and 295 00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 1: there is more spoken word engagement today than there's ever been. 296 00:16:55,040 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: There's more content available podcasts now entering there. Clay and 297 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,000 Speaker 1: Buck have a podcast. You can get these shows, you 298 00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 1: can hear them. If you miss one, you can share 299 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 1: it with your friends. It's an explosion of content. Think 300 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,880 Speaker 1: about it. You no longer have to quit your day 301 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,760 Speaker 1: job to be able to broadcast your opinions. You can 302 00:17:14,200 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 1: do it on a podcast, you can stream, you can 303 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:18,120 Speaker 1: you know you used to con do it on YouTube 304 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 1: and now you can't. If your opinion goes against the 305 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: conventional That changes on a on a seemingly weekly basis. 306 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 1: But what a glorious thing, What a wonderful time we 307 00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,639 Speaker 1: live in. For all the things you can be sad about, 308 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:38,119 Speaker 1: angry about, horrified about, scared of, there are also so 309 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: many opportunities to share your perspectives, to share your stories, 310 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 1: to connect, to find good content. I listen to all 311 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:50,679 Speaker 1: sorts of different podcasts, And there's one called Cocaine and 312 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:54,480 Speaker 1: Ryanstones about classic country music by a guy named Tyler Mahan. 313 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:57,840 Speaker 1: Co's David Allen cooson. There's one The History of English Language, 314 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 1: which goes through why we use the words we use 315 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,920 Speaker 1: and where they came from Middle English or or Germany 316 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: or India or Latin, and it's just whatever. You can 317 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:11,199 Speaker 1: go to school. That's what That's what the Russia Lumbach 318 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: Show was to me for so many years. It was school. 319 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 1: I went to law school, I went to school forever. 320 00:18:17,119 --> 00:18:19,000 Speaker 1: I loved school and nerd it out. I would go 321 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,159 Speaker 1: back to school now. I would love to teach. But 322 00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:25,160 Speaker 1: everybody could go to this free school for three hours 323 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: a day in the middle of the day, whether you 324 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,919 Speaker 1: were a truck driver or a police officer or a 325 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:33,120 Speaker 1: CEO and nurse, whatever you did, and that never changes. 326 00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:37,000 Speaker 1: It's just it's a glorious time. There are a lot 327 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,000 Speaker 1: of good things out there if you focus on them, 328 00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 1: if you go finding them. But if you're waiting on 329 00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 1: the left to point them to you or applaud them, 330 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:47,600 Speaker 1: that'll never happen. That will never happen. Let's start with 331 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:53,800 Speaker 1: Gary in Nashville, Tennessee. Gary, you're up, hey, buddy. First 332 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:58,160 Speaker 1: of all, welcome back to Nashville. I'm listening at five 333 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 1: o'clock this Monday on WLA see it.

So I was listening to the 337 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,520 Speaker 1: other day and he had Nick Cercion talking about his 338 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: movie Capital Punishment, and he was mentioning the story of 339 00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:25,560 Speaker 1: Coy Griffin the Cowboys for Trump Guy, and I just 340 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 1: wanted to call and tell you that I'm I'm the 341 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 1: reason Ki got arrested. And why is that? I called 342 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,280 Speaker 1: him the morning of the six He's a friend of mine. 343 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 1: We met at a Trump rally, you know, back before 344 00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 1: the election, good guy, and I said, man, I've just 345 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,400 Speaker 1: got a I've got kind of a vision I want 346 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 1: to share with you. He was supposed to speak as 347 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:53,679 Speaker 1: a Trump rally. He got bumped because Trump was, you know, 348 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,160 Speaker 1: as usual kind of late, and he called to tell 349 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,160 Speaker 1: me that he couldn't do it. The vision was basically, 350 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,520 Speaker 1: and just get if you get a chance and just 351 00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:06,120 Speaker 1: read Second Chronicles seven to fourteen. If my people who 352 00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,159 Speaker 1: were called by my name amble themselves and pray and 353 00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:10,879 Speaker 1: seek my face turned from the wicked ways, I'll hear 354 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,720 Speaker 1: from heaven forgive us kill the land. We've all heard 355 00:20:13,720 --> 00:20:17,359 Speaker 1: the verse, right, I submended, would you do that? Kneel 356 00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:21,080 Speaker 1: down and invite a million or so people to do 357 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:25,760 Speaker 1: that because the image, the power that would come from 358 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 1: that moment would be amazing and I think God would 359 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:33,400 Speaker 1: really smile. And he loved the idea. So he calls 360 00:20:33,480 --> 00:20:37,040 Speaker 1: me after the rally and says, man, I'm sorry, I 361 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,560 Speaker 1: can't I can't do it. I got bumped from the thing. 362 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:44,080 Speaker 1: And I said, well, that doesn't matter. Just on somebody 363 00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:48,440 Speaker 1: with a bullhorn and just do it. Well, he never 364 00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:51,679 Speaker 1: went into the Capitol, but he did get up on 365 00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,400 Speaker 1: that first terrace and he did. If you've ever met Coy, 366 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: you know how completely correct us would be. He literally, 367 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,919 Speaker 1: I'm sure he just took it from somebody. He said, hey, buddy, 368 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:04,360 Speaker 1: let me have that. He got a bullhorn and did 369 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:06,800 Speaker 1: it from the terrace. And in the movie there's there's 370 00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:09,879 Speaker 1: a scene of what you know is easily you know 371 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 1: a few thousand people doing exactly that, and it's so cool. 372 00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:20,159 Speaker 1: But yeah, that's that's really what got him busted, was that. 373 00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,640 Speaker 1: That's interesting. Anything else, I'll be thanks for the call, buddy. 374 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,159 Speaker 1: I will be in Nashville in March. We're doing an 375 00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: event there. My dear friend Dan Endham is going to 376 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,680 Speaker 1: be coordinating and I look forward to. I hope you'll 377 00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:34,399 Speaker 1: come out. I'd like to shake your hand and remind 378 00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 1: me that you were the caller on the Clay and 379 00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 1: Buck Show. My young my oldest son is named Michael. 380 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: Michael t that Gain is his birth name, and we 381 00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:46,560 Speaker 1: made that his middle name. My younger son, who's fourteen, 382 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 1: his name is Crockett marcos Berry and Crockett was named 383 00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 1: for one of my childhood heroes, Davy Crockett. And I 384 00:21:55,920 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: often explain that the people I held year and deer 385 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: growing up, we're not typically victorious. They were brave, horatious 386 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:12,959 Speaker 1: defending the bridge against an onslaught. They were Davy Crockett 387 00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:18,680 Speaker 1: who refused to leave when when the threat was first made, 388 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:23,679 Speaker 1: they were offered the opportunity to leave in peace. I've 389 00:22:23,840 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 1: never really admired the people who necessarily were victorious but 390 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:32,800 Speaker 1: wrote in at the last moment on someone else's hard work. 391 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:38,000 Speaker 1: The idea of sacrifice and suffering has always been Maybe 392 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,960 Speaker 1: it's my Southern Baptist upbringing, Maybe it's the Southern underdog, 393 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:45,600 Speaker 1: Maybe it's my dad being working class. I don't know. 394 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:50,760 Speaker 1: I was always taught that you could find in suffering 395 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:55,040 Speaker 1: a sort of penance and a sort of glory. And 396 00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,000 Speaker 1: you know, and the Bible is very clear about this. 397 00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 1: And before I quote the verse, that is to tell 398 00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,159 Speaker 1: you that what we're going through is not necessarily a 399 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 1: bad thing. It's a crucible. I I did not serve, 400 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,240 Speaker 1: but I have many friends who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, 401 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 1: and they talk about what that suffering meant to them 402 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:18,960 Speaker 1: and how it has made them who they are. And 403 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 1: Marcus Atrelle is a dear friend of mine who wrote 404 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 1: Lone Survivor. And Marcus is a guy who is defined 405 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,720 Speaker 1: for the rest of his life by his experience on 406 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 1: the side of a mountain in Afghanistan, partly because he 407 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,600 Speaker 1: wrote a diary that became a best seller, partly because 408 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:37,160 Speaker 1: Peter Burg made a movie out of it and Marky 409 00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:40,160 Speaker 1: Mark played you know him. But that story will always 410 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,119 Speaker 1: be remembered. And the suffering not just of Marcus, but 411 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 1: of Danny deeds, of of of acts of the guys 412 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 1: who didn't come home. And think about how many times 413 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: someone dies young and becomes a hero to us. It's 414 00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:01,359 Speaker 1: as if that suffering was necessary, so that sacrifice and 415 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,600 Speaker 1: I almost feel like, you know, we got a little 416 00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 1: fat and lazy in this country after World War Two. 417 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,639 Speaker 1: We hadn't been so invested in a war. There was 418 00:24:11,720 --> 00:24:14,879 Speaker 1: Vietnam that took a generation, but there was Korea that 419 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 1: sent a lot of men. But we hadn't been so invested. 420 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 1: We hadn't been threatened, we hadn't been reminded that the 421 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:26,680 Speaker 1: world is a cold, dangerous place where people are punishing 422 00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:31,359 Speaker 1: their countrymen over ideas and control. You look at what 423 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:35,320 Speaker 1: idiot I mean did to the Indians that he expelled, 424 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 1: and then his own people after that. You look at 425 00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:40,520 Speaker 1: what Mao did to his people. You look at what 426 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,200 Speaker 1: Stalin did to his people. Pol Pot did to his people. 427 00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:47,679 Speaker 1: I mean, most of the world is a miserable place 428 00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:52,480 Speaker 1: where tyrants are imposing strictures on a good and decent 429 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:55,800 Speaker 1: people in the name of helping them out that destroys them. 430 00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:00,719 Speaker 1: We're just now seeing it on our shores. Right. This 431 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 1: suffering may be necessary for us to do what we 432 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: need to do. Maybe we need to hit rock bottom 433 00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:09,600 Speaker 1: to be ready to make the sacrifices and bolster the 434 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,400 Speaker 1: effort it's going to take to win back this country. 435 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:17,439 Speaker 1: Maybe this was necessary. Maybe our parents and grandparents didn't 436 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,399 Speaker 1: prepare us, and we're weak because of it. We're a 437 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:25,479 Speaker 1: nation of little Lord Fauntleroy's Luke nine twenty three. Jesus 438 00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 1: looks at his disciples and tells them, whoever wants to 439 00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:31,720 Speaker 1: be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their 440 00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:35,080 Speaker 1: cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save their 441 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:38,720 Speaker 1: life will lose it. But whoever loses their life for 442 00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 1: me will find it. There is glory in sacrifice. Some 443 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 1: people are going to go to jail fighting back. Some 444 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: nurses in pilots and cops are going to lose their jobs. 445 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: Some parents are going to fight the school board. Some 446 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: people are going to be harassed and intimidated by BLM 447 00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 1: and ANTIFA. Some people are going to be yelled at 448 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:03,199 Speaker 1: and kicked off of social media. But the fight is bigger, 449 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:07,720 Speaker 1: and by losing that effort, we win the bigger war. 450 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,879 Speaker 1: That's what we're called to do. I'm Michael Berry and 451 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:20,160 Speaker 1: for Clay Travis and Buck sex Well. It is now 452 00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,879 Speaker 1: being confirmed that Betty White has passed eighteen days short 453 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 1: of her hundredth birthday. You know, I think there's something 454 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:34,760 Speaker 1: aspirational for all of us, if not inspirational to folks 455 00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:38,200 Speaker 1: who have a second, third, fourth, fifth Act in their 456 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 1: post eighties years. You know, you think of Tony Bennett, 457 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 1: for instance, and how much he seemed to be enjoying 458 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 1: his time on the stage after all those years he'd 459 00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:53,000 Speaker 1: sort of been forgotten. I mean, Willie Nelson still seems 460 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,399 Speaker 1: to be really enjoying the fact that he has an 461 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:59,400 Speaker 1: audience at this age. Something about Betty White, It couldn't 462 00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,640 Speaker 1: dislike the lady. There was something about she was sort 463 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,360 Speaker 1: of the nation's grandma, and she always seemed so much 464 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 1: younger than her years and so positive. Rest in peace, anyway, 465 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 1: Let's go to Larry in Louisiana. Larry, where in Louisiana? 466 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:25,159 Speaker 1: Are you? Panchitoula, Louisiana? All right, okay, all right, what 467 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,320 Speaker 1: you got my man? You were just you were just 468 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 1: talking to a friend about ocean Spurns, Mississippi. Yes, yes, 469 00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: in the old days, that's where Elvis Presley spent his 470 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:42,840 Speaker 1: summers at the golf Hills Country Club, where he learned 471 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 1: to ride horses, waterskiing his first girlfriend. And there's an 472 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:52,360 Speaker 1: Elvis Presley suite at the gold Hills Country Club. The 473 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:56,120 Speaker 1: pictures of him growing up. I did not know that 474 00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:01,160 Speaker 1: I'm something of an Elvis note. So and also one 475 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:05,400 Speaker 1: more thing. Al Campole used to go there. The name 476 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:10,200 Speaker 1: of the restaurant is Compons. And there's something that's changing 477 00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,679 Speaker 1: about the Goldfields country Club. They just sold it to 478 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:16,320 Speaker 1: a rich company. And they had an eighteen whole golf course. 479 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,840 Speaker 1: They sold nine holes and built nice houses. So you 480 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 1: can only play golf now, or nine holes instead of eighteens. 481 00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 1: Oh wow, there was a are you alf?
