42
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,720
Speaker 9: He ran on it partially, and now the US Senate

43
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:40,080

Speaker 1: going to pass. He's lying.

50
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 7: It's also the case that the only reason it's coming

51
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 7: up for a debate is because the pressure became too much.

52
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,200

53

Speaker 7: but refuse to investigate or even address them in order

61
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 7: to preserve mister Chavez's public image. How many times have

124
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 10: and I've read the book, and wow, what a phenomenal book.

125
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 10: It is and everything, and and I would also add

126
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 10: there's another book it's kind of it kind of goes

127
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 10: along with it. It's called The Invisible Tooth by Peter Schweitzer. Okay,

128
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 10: if you, if you get a chance to Uh, I

00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 10: have not read that.

130
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,839
Speaker 7: We've had Schweitzer on a few times, but but he

131
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 7: always has interesting perspectives.

132
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: The Invisible Tooth coup to the Invisible two.

133
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 10: Okay, it's about the illegal uh immigration.

134
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: Okay, I will I will give that.

135
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 10: Uh.

136
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: The last word is t O O.

137
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 10: C O up.

138
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,359
Speaker 7: Oh, the Invisible Coup. Yes, okay, all right, my apologies.

139
00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 7: Oh wait a second, I wonder did we talk to

140
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 7: him about that. We've talked to him about several of

141
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,440
Speaker 7: his projects. I will go back and look. But yeah,

142
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,920
Speaker 7: Buck's book is called I have It beside Me Manufacturing Delusion.

143
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,360
Speaker 1: It's actually really good. You know, some of these books

144
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 1: that are written by.

145
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 7: Guys that that have a talk show or a TV show,

146
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 7: it goes and then it's just to make an extra

147
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:03,440
Speaker 7: book with a good headline.

148
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: But this one I felt like was really well written,

149
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 1: and Buck himself wrote it. I know that for a fact.

150
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 7: It's called Manufacturing delusion, how the left theres is brainwashing, indoctrination,

151
00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:16,839
Speaker 7: and propaganda against you. And he does a real good

152
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 7: job laying that out, including what happened with COVID.

153
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 10: Oh absolutely. And you know, the funny thing about both

154
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,559
Speaker 10: of these books is from a general from a broad

155
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:31,559
Speaker 10: sense of speaking, it's everything that people already know of

156
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 10: and can see. But both of these books they give you,

157
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 10: they give you a look behind the curtain that you

158
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:45,200
Speaker 10: know that the minutia, the details, if you will, about

159
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:49,680
Speaker 10: how this stuff is being perpetrated. And that's the interesting

160
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 10: part about these books.

161
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's it's interesting. I spent some time thinking about

162
00:12:56,760 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 7: this last night. If you really really ponder it too

163
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:03,720
Speaker 7: long and you don't have a good basis in faith

164
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 7: and family, uh, and you can't turn it off, it

165
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 7: can be you know, lacking a good outlet for how

166
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 7: to process this kind of information can be overwhelming for

167
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 7: people because the average person.

168
00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 1: Is going to read this information and say, now what

169
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 1: do I do about it?

170
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 7: And that's the frustration is there is no immediate silver bullet.

171
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 7: There is no immediate committee to form. We do need

172
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:38,319
Speaker 7: an informed electorate, but I can't tell you that you

173
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 7: can solve the problem immediately. I just I cannot, I

174
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,200
Speaker 7: can't do that, Jr. You're on the Michael Berry Show.

175
00:13:44,200 --> 00:13:45,880
Speaker 1: What you got, Yes, sir.

176
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 11: I just want to bring up in twenty twenty, Michael

177
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:53,520
Speaker 11: that press complish which I'll never forget that Lena Sylvester,

178
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:57,599
Speaker 11: Cina Jackson Lee and they announced that when rodeo was

179
00:13:57,679 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 11: closing and no song at the end of that they

180
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 11: were high fiveing yep, and we're all sick and they're

181
00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 11: they're high five and like they give a damn.

182
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 10: I will never get that out of my mind.

183
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,120
Speaker 1: And then for her to go up there and do.

184
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 11: What she did at the rodeo was just unbelievable. But

185
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 11: that was a little one thing that every time I

186
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 11: see her, that's what I remember.

187
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 5: It was.

188
00:14:27,320 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: Uh, But again there we go.

189
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:34,160
Speaker 7: There are people in our community who were supposed to

190
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,800
Speaker 7: be city leaders and civic leaders and good people and

191
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 7: business owners who helped Lenna Hidalgo get elected or get

192
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:49,000
Speaker 7: re elected and did not step in in a leadership

193
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 7: role and dial her back or make any attempt to

194
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 7: do that. Who would surprise you people who own businesses

195
00:14:56,920 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 7: names that are recognizable, and it is uh, she didn't

196
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 7: do that. But you think about this, Think about the

197
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 7: fact that our mayor was Sylvester Turner, our county judge

198
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 7: was Lena Hid. This is out of touch with everybody

199
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:20,200
Speaker 7: who is anybody in this community. If you own a business, uh,

200
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 7: if you're a reasonable person, if you can it's it's.

201
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: Just amazing to me.

202
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 7: It's hard to get people involved and excited about local elections.

203
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 7: And I admit we haven't always put the best candidates forward,

204
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,400
Speaker 7: but wow, I'm mean, imagine that Sheila Jackson, Lee, Silvester

205
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 7: Turner and Lena headougo twenty twenty canceling the rodeo. I

206
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 7: mean that's John. You'll be first up. I see the

Speaker 1: John, thank you your patience. You up next, sir.

212
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 9: Good morning, Michael. Like Tom Mansey eye as, I'm from Crocket, Texas.

213
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 9: And it's an amazing thing, you know when you talk

214
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 9: about being from an orange and how it makes you

215
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 9: feel like I understand that too. I was able to

216
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 9: go to the Calf Scramble when I was young as

217
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 9: this was sixty nine or seventy, and I caught a

218
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 9: calf because you know, somebody took the time to take

219
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:34,720
Speaker 9: me to a ranch and put me in a pen

220
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 9: with some calf, so I knew.

221
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: What I would be up against.

222
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 9: And story of catching the calf, that's one of the

223
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 9: stories I put to put the kids to bed with.

224
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 9: That's one of their bedtime storage. The man that sponsored me,

225
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 9: his name was Rodney Pierce, and he was the dealer

226
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,760
Speaker 9: for Tarax. He had the Taratx dealer here in Houston,

227
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 9: which was the GM heavy equipment stuff. So he he

228
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 9: told me that there is no better town on Earth

229
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 9: for a young person to go out and build their

230
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 9: fortune than the Houston. And I think he was right then.

231
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 9: I think he's still right today. I've worked in for

232
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 9: some kids, I think kids they.

233
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: Were in their young thirties when they.

234
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 9: Left Offield Service Company and armed the start up and

235
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 9: they're just a high tech thing. And you know, we're

236
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 9: able to find all kinds of specialty equipment and.

237
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: The procedures and people.

238
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 9: To do weird things just just because of what a

239
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 9: wonderful place Houston is.

240
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 1: What do you think, Well, I think it's absolutely true.

241
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:39,640
Speaker 1: I think.

242
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 7: The tradition of what this community is which was not

243
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 7: politics first, it was it was economic growth and development.

244
00:17:55,800 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 7: It was hard work, it was thrift, it was opportunity.

245
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 7: That tradition is to my knowledge, unmatched in the country.

246
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,359
Speaker 7: And everybody's proud of where they're from, or most people are.

247
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 7: But when you look at the number of companies that

248
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 7: have developed into fortune, five hundred companies in the state

249
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 7: of Texas, vis A VI New York, which had a

250
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 7: massive headstart, just massive headstart. If you look at the

251
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:37,400
Speaker 7: growth and diversification in the economy of home grown companies

252
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 7: in Texas and Houston would lead the charge there. On

253
00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:45,920
Speaker 7: the tech in the tech sector, you've got some of

254
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:47,680
Speaker 7: those coming out of Austin, but there are a lot

255
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 7: of tech companies here in Houston, more than you might imagine.

256
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:58,359
Speaker 7: They're just smaller. They've not made the Dell Computers level

257
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 7: of interest. There are a lot of companies moving here,

258
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 7: although many of the tech are going to Austin. But

259
00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 7: when you look in the oil patch and all the

260
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 7: companies that came out of that that weren't just downhold

261
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:18,399
Speaker 7: drilling or we have our longest serving show sponsor is

262
00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 7: PERCENTO Technologies and Bobby Davidson just had his fifty ninth

263
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 7: birthday the other day and he said they're number one category.

264
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 7: They are a technology company, but they're number one category

265
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 7: of client right now.

266
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 1: And these people are needy right now in a good way.

267
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 7: Is oil and gas companies with the obvious overnight increase

268
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 7: in demand due to what's going on in Iran and

269
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 7: in that region. Iran just bombed the largest I think

270
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 7: it's the largest natural gas field, if I'm not mistaken.

271
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 7: I believe I read that in the world, which is

272
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 7: in Qatar or Cutter the south. These have been hit

273
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 7: UAE by rain. You see a lot of production over

274
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,720
Speaker 7: there that's gone offline. And the good news is the

275
00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,960
Speaker 7: first place you look is here. And some of those

276
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 7: companies have to scale quickly, and money is liquid and

277
00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 7: it is flowing into companies. It's interesting because I dropped

278
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:27,080
Speaker 7: calls to people who I would expect would be doing

279
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 7: well due to this, and nobody likes to admit that

280
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 7: their business has increased, because you know, war is going

281
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 7: to be profitable for somebody. They didn't ask for the war.

282
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 7: They're just the byproduct of it and beneficiary of it.

283
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 1: But yes.

284
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 7: But you know what I think is really special is

285
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 7: a lot of wealth has been created by entrepreneurial individuals

286
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,639
Speaker 7: who started companies that became worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

287
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 7: But a lot of wealth has been created by people

288
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 7: when you look at the bell curve, you know, on

289
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 7: on the left or on the left leftmost side of

290
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 7: the bell curve, people that just just managed to own

291
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 7: a four to three uh so that all their kids

292
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 7: could have a bedroom, that just managed to drive a

293
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 7: new Chevy Silverado and pay for their kids to go

294
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 7: to college, or have a house in Galveston. You know

295
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 7: that we don't A lot of people don't think of

296
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 7: that as wealth, but there is a lot of that,

297
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 7: and that is wealth creation for a family.

298
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:39,119
Speaker 1: And I think Houston is better for that. You know,

299
00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: you can argue over the the CEO.

300
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,399
Speaker 7: And the development of companies and the moving of companies

301
00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:49,480
Speaker 7: from California here and and you know, the multi billion

302
00:21:49,520 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 7: dollar operations, and of course we've been headquarters to those

303
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:56,040
Speaker 7: because this, you know, we became the the oil and

304
00:21:56,119 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 7: gas headquarters that Tulsa hoped to be. But the way

305
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 7: I look at it is the opportunity, the economic opportunity

306
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 7: on the lower end and starting out, and I don't

307
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:11,720
Speaker 7: think anybody else has been able to accomplish that. And

308
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 7: I will tell you it scares me. It scares me

309
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:22,000
Speaker 7: because for so long there was the idea that this

310
00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 7: that this culture was the predominant culture, and it was

311
00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 7: understood by everybody.

312
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 1: But that wasn't true. You had people.

313
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 7: Conniving and scheming for how can I get hold of

314
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 7: some of that power and then money for myself.

315
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: I can't appeal to that mindset.

316
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 7: I'll find the disillusion and the discontented, and I'll create

317
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 7: an army of them. And in time political structures grew up.

318
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 7: Rodney Ellis's boss hall dominance of our county, the hegemony

319
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 7: that he exercises over our county, and he does that

320
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,879
Speaker 7: did not happen overnight. I saw that coming for a

321
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 7: long time. I did not think he'd be able to

322
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 7: consolidate the way he did. But that was an old

323
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:22,680
Speaker 7: commissioner seat that Elfranco Lee held starting in nineteen eighty four.

324
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,000
Speaker 7: Oddly enough, the guy el Franco Lee beat was a

325
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 7: young fellow named Sylvester Turner. But Elfranco didn't seek to

326
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 7: dominate and control and expand his control. He just kind

327
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 7: of wanted to lift pretty well and if he did

328
00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:42,639
Speaker 7: pretty well for himself off the deal, he'd do that.

329
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 7: And Rodney Ellis was a state senator. But in time

330
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 7: he figured out, wait a second, I'm not going to

331
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,520
Speaker 7: make it at the state. I've done all those I'm

332
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 7: going to take over control of the county. In between

333
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,920
Speaker 7: him and Sylvester, but particularly Rodney, they've done it. And

334
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 7: I don't think you end up with those same opportunities

335
00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 7: if they're oh, we got Joyce, the Sage of Sunnyside,

336
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:07,200
Speaker 7: we got oh yeah.

337
00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I should have looked up here.

338
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 7: We go, all right, let's get the boat lines because

339
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 7: they are lit up seven thousand joys, the Sage of Sunnyside.

340
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 5: You are first, my dear, go ahead this, You know, Michael,

341
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:27,240
Speaker 5: if you've heard me sharing, I have often shared about

342
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 5: the garbage and funny side. So February the nineties, the

343
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 5: Houston Chronicle had the first page article on the garbage

344
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 5: and Sunday side, and it's showing that the residents have to,

345
00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 5: you know, pick up their own garbage and this article,

346
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 5: but the second page was all most of whole page

347
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 5: about the garbage and Sunnyside. And in that article it

348
00:24:55,480 --> 00:25:01,200
Speaker 5: stated that this historic part of the sea, the Sunnyside,

349
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 5: had always been underserved. And I've asked this question repeatedly.

350
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 5: Who deserves us? We still vote for the same people

351
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:18,040
Speaker 5: that underserve us. And you know, I just think about,

352
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 5: you know, we we have to have brown who we

353
00:25:21,480 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 5: had to have Turner, we have to have the Queen,

354
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,360
Speaker 5: we have to have right end it elis all these

355
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:33,520
Speaker 5: people because they are black and democra fact, we continue

356
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:37,159
Speaker 5: to vote for them. And and in this part of

357
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 5: the city, and I know it's other black areas, is

358
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 5: not It's just not Sunnyside, It's I it m. Tires

359
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:46,439
Speaker 5: must be hard to get rid of because it's Sunnyside

360
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 5: is a dumping ground for tires. And I know they

361
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 5: are dumping them out early in the morning, just before day,

362
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 5: so they're in the street. We have to drive around

363
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,000
Speaker 5: the tiers and the garbage to get where we are

364
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 5: going until someone would get out and remove the tower

365
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:03,399
Speaker 5: from in the street. This is the way we have

366
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 5: lived this way, Michael, and I'm ninety three years old

367
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 5: and we have lived this way for many years. But

368
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:15,000
Speaker 5: we still go to the polls, and I've said this repeatedly.

369
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 5: We still go to the polls and we vote for

370
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 5: people that do not care anything about us. But I

371
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:28,240
Speaker 5: vote so don't care me anything about they don't care

372
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 5: anything about us. I know that. It just can't tell

373
00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 5: me that there are other blacks my age and younger

374
00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,080
Speaker 5: that know the same thing. We do this over and

375
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 5: over again, and it just doesn't make sense to me, Michael,

376
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 5: that we would still support people that don't care anything

377
00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:51,359
Speaker 5: about us, and people that have left the Democrat Party.

378
00:26:51,400 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 5: They'll tell you some things that they see about us,

379
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 5: and one of them is that we are still waiting

380
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,920
Speaker 5: for our forty acres and em but they don't have

381
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:02,639
Speaker 5: to give us anything. All they have to do is

382
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 5: promise us to me come in our neighborhoods. And that's true.

383
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 5: They don't have to give us anything. Just promise us something,

384
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,760
Speaker 5: give us a free meal, and then we'll go vote

385
00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,240
Speaker 5: for them. And that's one reason I left the Democrat Party,

386
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 5: and I've shared before. They would come out and feed us,

387
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 5: and then they would tell us the more rich white

388
00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 5: Republicans don't like you all, but we like you all

389
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 5: because we're feeding you all. And I wouldn't. I wouldn't

390
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:27,879
Speaker 5: go to one of the functions. Now, Michael, if it

391
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,199
Speaker 5: was in my backyard, you can't use me and get

392
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 5: my vote, because I think for myself and I shared

393
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 5: this morning on Washington Journal that the hate in this

394
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:46,960
Speaker 5: Mason Michael is overwhelmed me. And as I said it,

395
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 5: I've never seen this kind of hate in my country

396
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 5: in my ninety three years, and that hate is so

397
00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 5: so overwhelmed me. Every time you turn on the TV,

398
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 5: you don't hear love, just you hate hate, and much

399
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:07,520
Speaker 5: of it is directed toward Trump mm hm. And they

400
00:28:07,640 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 5: want to kill us, and you hear them, friend, death

401
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:15,520
Speaker 5: to the West. They are not saying death to trumpet Trump.

402
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 5: They are saying death to the West, and they will

403
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:23,199
Speaker 5: kill all of us. And we are out here still

404
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 5: stupid enough to go to the polls and vote the

405
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,680
Speaker 5: same way year after year.

406
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 1: You know, let's take the rodeo for instance.

407
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:42,360
Speaker 7: You had an event where the entertainer herself was showing

408
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:47,840
Speaker 7: her the you know, ninety of her rather ample butt cheeks,

409
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:56,280
Speaker 7: and women dressed to arrive and parade around the rodeo

410
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 7: dressed as this.

411
00:28:58,120 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: We saw things that it was it was it was lewed.

412
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: It was, and I'm no prude, but it was.

413
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 10: It was.

414
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 7: Unimaginable that people could go out in public dressed like this.

415
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 7: And I saw photos from across the spectrum, and almost

416
00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:24,200
Speaker 7: not exclusively, because I saw some white women and I

417
00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:26,760
Speaker 7: saw some Hispanic women. It was almost all black women.

418
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 7: And so there were people who took to social media.

419
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,880
Speaker 7: It became a local media story or there's criticism over

420
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,320
Speaker 7: the way people are dressing. They're basically naked walking around

421
00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:41,920
Speaker 7: out there. It's trashy, it is unbecoming. The Rodeo because

422
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:47,120
Speaker 7: they're not a government agency, they are an action organization.

423
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:49,960
Speaker 1: They immediately took action. Here's our dress code.

424
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 7: And then what did we get We got from the

425
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:55,800
Speaker 7: chronicle and the local TV stations. Oh, well, that's going

426
00:29:55,880 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 7: to be discriminatory. Actually, actually, the legal definition of discrimination

427
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 7: is treating similar things dissimilarly. So in other words, it's

428
00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 7: okay to say you can have a boy's restroom in

429
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 7: a girl's restroom.

430
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny. Lino Graulio, my constitutional law.

431
00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:20,560
Speaker 7: Professor, used to use that as an example in the

432
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 7: fall of nineteen ninety four. You know, it's okay to

433
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 7: have a women's restroom and a men's restroom because we

434
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 7: all understand they're different.

435
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: Wow did things change since then? We can't even accept

436
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: that as fact.

437
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,240
Speaker 7: But so you can have a women's restroom in a

438
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:40,680
Speaker 7: men's restroom because they're different. You can say to a man,

439
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 7: you're not allowed into a women's restroom and he says,

440
00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 7: well why not? That's I should have equal protection. I

441
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 7: should have there should be fairness. You are discriminating against

442
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 7: me and preventing me from going there. But actually, no,

443
00:30:57,280 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 7: what you can't do is you can't say to a

444
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:02,600
Speaker 7: black woman or a Hispanic woman, or an ugly woman

445
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 7: or a short woman, you can't go in the restroom

446
00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 7: because that is a women's restroom.

447
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: But because we understand, men are different.

448
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,760
Speaker 7: So there comes the very troubling question that we have

449
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 7: to confront and that you're willing to confront, but most

450
00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:22,440
Speaker 7: people are not, and that is have we have? Has

451
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 7: there been developed? And this isn't a slave day era,

452
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 7: This isn't a Jim Crow. This is a very modern phenomenon.

453
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:35,960
Speaker 7: This is a new black subculture within black culture that

454
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 7: may share different values, and it may have reached such

455
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 7: a critical mass it's hard to reach it. You know,

456
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 7: it's all over the internet. It's it's all over the news,

457
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 7: although they won't cover it as much. When you start

458
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 7: having the one big problem you had at the rodeo

459
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 7: was a group of blacks fighting at the rodeo of

460
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 7: all things, and you don't have it of any other group,

461
00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 7: and you start noticing these trends coming up, What is

462
00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 7: the message?

463
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 1: What are we seeing? Is that the fact? And that's

464
00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:09,040
Speaker 1: a very very disturbing trend.

465
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:16,080
Speaker 7: And now you've got the political, the ecumenical, the social Institute,

466
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:20,040
Speaker 7: the civic institute, you've got every one of them who's

467
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 7: operating on the Rodney Ellis rules. And he didn't create them,

468
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:26,680
