1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:00,720
Speaker 1: You know the chain.

2
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:02,760
Speaker 2: There used to be a chain that went across the

3
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:04,560
Speaker 2: deep end and he cut off.

4
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 3: The six foot left the chain.

5
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 4: He pulled up.

6
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 5: He said, you walk out with that chain, and you

7
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 5: walked in the car and say you.

8
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,000
Speaker 1: May cut me man, but I'm gonna wrap this chain

9
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 1: around your head.

10
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 3: You gotta fight.

11
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 6: Why you are right?

12
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 3: I wonder what is your message to Hezbollah? And it's

13
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 3: packer get wrong, don't, don't, don't, don't, Chirley, can't be serious.

14
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 3: I am serious, and don't call me Chirley.

15
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 2: Don't, don't, don't, But I'm serious. These are the kind

16
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 2: of guy you like to smacking.

17
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 5: Ass hearing me.

18
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:46,519
Speaker 4: We're gonna have a fight today after school, three o'clock in.

19
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:47,240
Speaker 2: The parking lot.

20
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: Press always asked me, don't I wish I were debating him?

21
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 3: No, I wish you're in high school. I could take

22
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 3: him behind the gym.

23
00:00:54,040 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 7: You gotta fight.

24
00:00:56,080 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 1: Why you right, well, mister darthy man.

25
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 3: Nine staples to your DOSSI have three one broken balls,

26
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 3: two bullet womans, nine punctus of or stainless steel screws.

27
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,199
Speaker 4: That's an estimate. Of course, I'll give you a low walk.

28
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 2: No, thank you do you enjoy pain.

29
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 4: Pain don't hurt.

30
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 3: Most of my patients would disagree with you. Okay, you

31
00:01:26,520 --> 00:01:28,839
Speaker 3: always carry your medical records around with you.

32
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:31,839
Speaker 2: Safe time.

33
00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: It's not about being a tough guy.

34
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:38,480
Speaker 8: You like that old man.

35
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 5: You want a piece of me.

36
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 3: I don't want a piece of you. I want the

37
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 3: whole thing.

38
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: You can see that I'm mentally incompetent because I can't.

39
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 3: Walk and I can read the hell out of both

40
00:01:54,400 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 3: of them. Fight all right. I'll take your calls onmost anything,

41
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 3: but particularly this issue of the THCHC. I would like

42
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 3: to hear from you whether you are for or against it,

43
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 3: with your thoughts on the matter. Seven one three nine

44
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 3: nine one thousand, seven one three nine nine nine one

45
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 3: thousand as those calls come in. Today, June second, for

46
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,800
Speaker 3: those who follow the state legislature, is a big day.

47
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 3: It is known as seen a die, which means literally

48
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 3: without a day, meaning that there is not a day

49
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 3: after today for the legislature, unless, of course, there is

50
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 3: a special session which the governor has the power to call,

51
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 3: which means that there is no session for the House

52
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 3: and the Senate for five hundred and eighty nine days.

53
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,799
Speaker 3: The legislature will reconvene of course again, unless there is

54
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 3: a special session called by the governor. The legislature will

55
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 3: reconvene on January twelfth, twenty twenty seven. As you know,

56
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 3: the Texas Legislature is not a full time legislature the

57
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 3: way Congress is. It is a biennial legislature, which means

58
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 3: they gather for one hundred and fifty days every two years.

59
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 3: So after today, all the things that you were promised

60
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 3: that weren't done will be excused because they ran out

61
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 3: of time. It's ran out of time. You can't say

62
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 3: we didn't have the numbers, because we have the House

63
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 3: and we have the Senate. We have the Lieutenant governor,

64
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 3: we have the governor, we have the state Supreme Court,

65
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 3: we have every elected statewide official, we have the Attorney General.

66
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 3: So why didn't the House and the Senate get the

67
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 3: things done? Most of the problems were in the House.

68
00:03:55,960 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 3: Most of the problems are in the House. So the

69
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 3: weekend final approval was given through reconciliation to the state budget.

70
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 3: It is the largest in Texas history, spending over three

71
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 3: hundred and thirty eight billion dollars. It will take effect

72
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 3: on September first and run through August thirty, first of

73
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 3: twenty twenty seven. Brandon Walton's who writes for Texas Scorecard,

74
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 3: which I encourage you to read. It's a very very

75
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 3: good report on what's going on in Austin. It's the

76
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 3: easiest way to find out what's going on in Austin.

77
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 3: It's Michael Quinnsulivan, Brandon Walton's. They do a fantastic job.

78
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:40,479
Speaker 3: Fantastic job. He notes that this budget is an eight

79
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,600
Speaker 3: point three percent increase over the last by and M

80
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:51,119
Speaker 3: and a staggering forty three percent increase since the twenty

81
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 3: twenty two to twenty twenty three budget. So what did

82
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 3: Republicans do in Austin after you supported? Now? Will any

83
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 3: of them come home and say, Yeah, we just figured

84
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 3: we needed to spend a bunch more money. They will

85
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 3: not say that. They will say we ran out of time.

86
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 3: You didn't run out of time. You found the time

87
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 3: to spend it. You didn't find the time to cut it.

88
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 3: That's just it. They entered the session with a twenty

89
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 3: four billion dollar surplus. Only six and a half billion

90
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 3: of that surplus is being used for new property tax relief,

91
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 3: which is nothing all. While property taxes have risen thirteen

92
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 3: billion dollars since the last buy and M alone. That's

93
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 3: twenty one point six percent. If it feels like your

94
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 3: property tax bill is going through the roof, it is.

95
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:52,800
Speaker 3: If it feels like the Republicans in Austin aren't doing

96
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 3: anything about it, they're not. That's exactly right. Now. They

97
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 3: got a big, big education bill because the rural the

98
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 3: rural Republicans and the urban Democrats have the coalition that

99
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 3: dominates on this issue. And that coalition is it's like

100
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 3: the neo cons the more money for public schools, the better.

101
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 3: It's good for your kids, except it's not. It's not

102
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 3: for your kids. It's for administrators and engineers and construction companies.

103
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 3: The education doesn't get better. In fact, you could plot it.

104
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 3: It's an X on the chart, quality of performance by

105
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 3: kids going down, expenditures on public education going up. They're

106
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:48,359
Speaker 3: less safe and less productive than they've ever been. So

107
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 3: we got a school vouchers bill. We were promised a

108
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 3: school voucher bill, remember school vouchers. But the only way

109
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,239
Speaker 3: they did that is to create a whole new funding pool.

110
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 3: We couldn't take it from public schools. Lord, No, the

111
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 3: children and the teachers so they just spent more eight

112
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 3: point five billion dollar school finance bill includes teacher pay raises,

113
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 3: more school funding, six hundred and seventy seven million for

114
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 3: early learning programs. It goes on and on, all right,

115
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 3: your thoughts on the dope coming up.

116
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 9: With twenty five package and you get it all fiberglass

117
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 9: hood with air grabbing scoops with.

118
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,560
Speaker 2: The Michael Berry fucking hood.

119
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 3: Pins, shoosmobile, escape from the ordinary before we get to

120
00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 3: the calls, fellow named Alan wrote, and I do realize

121
00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 3: I guess that I get passionate when i'm when i'm

122
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 3: I love I love the clash of ideas very exciting

123
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 3: to me. I did debate all the way back into

124
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 3: my first year of high school, and I lived for it.

125
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 3: I love it and I love to I don't love

126
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 3: to argue. There's a difference between arguing, you know, who

127
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 3: should take out the trashes and argument. It's not a debate.

128
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 3: I love the clash of ideas, and it doesn't matter

129
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 3: who wins. It is the process that I find very exciting.

130
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 3: Just as I enjoy watching a sporting event, it doesn't

131
00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 3: really matter to me which team wins. I enjoy the sport,

132
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 3: the performance of the sport, so Allen writes, So don't

133
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 3: take it personally. I don't dislike Dan Patrick, as I said,

134
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 3: I think he's been a very good lieutenant governor. He's

135
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 3: very popular. I think this is a bonehead move, and

136
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 3: I think it's driven for all the wrong reasons, as

137
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 3: has been suggested Alan Wrights. I took my ten year

138
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 3: old daughter to a movie last night and on the

139
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 3: menu they had THHC infused drinks. No thank you. I

140
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 3: don't want high school employees with access to THCHC and

141
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 3: the authority to put them in that might get into

142
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 3: my daughter's cup. I don't want it advertised to her.

143
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 3: Things were much better when all of this stuff was

144
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 3: still illegal. Well, by that measure, we should have prohibition.

145
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,320
Speaker 3: Do you know the problems prohibition calls for this country.

146
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 3: You know when I tell people, well, then let's just

147
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 3: have problem, let's outlaw at all, they go, I be

148
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 3: for that, or they'll say, well, you know, yeah, but

149
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 3: alcohol is legal, so since it's legal, it should stay legal.

150
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,520
Speaker 3: That's not a principal argument. If your concern is the kids,

151
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 3: I'm going to tell you because I've just had a

152
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 3: kid graduate a year ago, and I've got another one

153
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 3: who's going to be as a rising senior. I'm going

154
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 3: to tell you what happens at parties. A lot of

155
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 3: kids drink a lot. Almost no kids vape marijuana, almost none.

156
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,600
Speaker 3: You don't why they drink because they steal it from

157
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 3: their parents. Yeah, because they steal it from their parents.

158
00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 3: So the concern that, well, we don't want to kids

159
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,520
Speaker 3: just for the kids. You've got these stories just for

160
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 3: the kids. Are you aware that there is alcohol everywhere

161
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 3: all the time. It's not a principal argument. Alcohol kills

162
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 3: more people in more ways than any of this stuff

163
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 3: could ever hope to trust me on that, And I'm

164
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 3: not trying to make alcohol illegal, are you? It doesn't

165
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 3: make any sense to me. It just doesn't make any sense. Kevin,

166
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:26,559
Speaker 3: you're on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, sir.

167
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 5: Oh.

168
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 8: I love people that are ill informed, like that person

169
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:33,800
Speaker 8: at the movies.

170
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 2: Oh your child.

171
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 8: This whole argument about the children and saving the children,

172
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:43,959
Speaker 8: and it's so I'm just so over it. It was cigarettes,

173
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 8: you know, it was puffing cans of air. You know,

174
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 8: we got to save the children, save the children. It's nonsense.

175
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,680
Speaker 5: What dan Patrick did the other day though, is he

176
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 5: got up there and just flat out lied repeatedly, not

177
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 5: one or two times, over and over and over, and

178
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 5: then doubled down on his lives. How any hell can

179
00:11:05,920 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 5: a politician do that and have absolutely nothing happened to him.

180
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,560
Speaker 5: I mean, it's once again, there's a difference between an

181
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 5: opinion and stating facts. He was getting up there stating

182
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 5: saying that kids are dying because of this. There has

183
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 5: not been one kid died from a damn gummy not one.

184
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:36,559
Speaker 3: Well, first of all, I don't know that that is true.

185
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:43,560
Speaker 3: For this reason. The synthetic stuff, the synthetic stuff is

186
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 3: not what the real stuff is. The synthetic stuff is

187
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 3: no boy, no, not good. Now should it be made

188
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,559
Speaker 3: illegal when and you know why people do the synthetic

189
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 3: stuff because the real stuff is illegal. All that delta A,

190
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 3: all that stuff. You know why that's out there because

191
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 3: when you make stuff illegal that people want, sex, alcohol, gambling,

192
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 3: they still do it, right, they still do it. But

193
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 3: now what they do is they find ways to do

194
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 3: it that are illegal. So you drive things underground. You

195
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,760
Speaker 3: know what happens when you drive things underground, You make

196
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 3: them the domain of bad actors. See, the worst thing

197
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 3: for the cartels was making marijuana illegal in places like

198
00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 3: California and Colorado. They nobody wanted their dope because now

199
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:45,720
Speaker 3: you had you had dope that was clean, that was

200
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:51,960
Speaker 3: that was made in a safe environment that you didn't

201
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 3: have to worry the person selling it to you was

202
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 3: going to shoot you. When that happened, that changed the

203
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 3: whole game. Change the whole game the cartels, That whole

204
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:08,679
Speaker 3: division of their far flung enterprise was done, and so

205
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 3: they had to find new places to apply their trade

206
00:13:16,600 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 3: and the synthetic marijuana. There are some downsays. I know

207
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 3: a lot of people, and I didn't until I started

208
00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 3: talking about this, but I've heard from them. I know

209
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 3: a lot of people who are friends of mine, normal guys,

210
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 3: successful guys who drink a marijuana drink that they get

211
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 3: at specs or wherever they get. They get their liquor

212
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 3: every night to go to bed. The going to sleep

213
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 3: process is such a big issue, in such a health

214
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 3: related issue, and nobody wants to talk about it. But

215
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,440
Speaker 3: a lot of people struggle to go to sleep and

216
00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 3: they need sleep. And a lot of people struggle with

217
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 3: pain and they have pain, and how we deal with that.

218
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 3: It strikes me we should be a bit more mature.

219
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 3: How about that, Jason, you're up? Go ahead?

220
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 9: Yes, sir, I know I'm biased because I'm a retired

221
00:14:09,360 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 9: Harrison County deputy. But in twenty ten, when I was

222
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,440
Speaker 9: still on patrol, I went to a high school graduation

223
00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 9: party ten Review High School. A little girl had to

224
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 9: get life flight because she smoked cush because it was legal,

225
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 9: and she ended up almost dying. And I told those kids,

226
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 9: You're not supposed to say this, but you know.

227
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 3: Smoke weed.

228
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 9: You might get a couple of days or weeks in jail,

229
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 9: but you're not going to die. But that I saw

230
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 9: that girl get life flighted from smoking cush just because

231
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 9: it was legal. But again, like I said, I'm biased

232
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 9: from what I did for twenty years, but I'm all

233
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 9: against it personally.

234
00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 3: Well, the problem is, I think the whole overall approach

235
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 3: is really messed up. I'm reminded of the line by Seneca.

236
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 3: Laws do not persuade just because they threaten. Let's as

237
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 3: do we have time? All right, let's make a quick one.

238
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:06,640
Speaker 3: Let's go to Teresa. Teresa, go ahead, Teresa, you're up.

239
00:15:07,800 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 3: Oh she dropped. Jason, you're up, go ahead. Oh, Jason

240
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 3: was already up.

241
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 2: Frank you go ahead, which Frank number two, Okay, that's me.

242
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: Personally. I'm against it. I think it's really a stupid

243
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: move on the Republican's part.

244
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 3: All right, hold on second, Frank number two, number two,

245
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 3: you'll be number one, number two on his jersey, number

246
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 3: one in your heart coming up.

247
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 2: And Michael Bay.

248
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 3: All right, let's go back to Frank number two. Frank

249
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 3: number two, you were on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, sir,

250
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 3: so you can start over, yes.

251
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: Sir, okay, Yeah, I'm against this. I think it's a

252
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:58,840
Speaker 1: pretty dumb move. We're solving a problem that doesn't exist,

253
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: and certainly nobody asked for. The Republicans failed on property taxes,

254
00:16:04,120 --> 00:16:06,800
Speaker 1: and we're feeding more money to an inep school system.

255
00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 2: And I just can't.

256
00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 1: Believe this is where they decided to plant their flag.

257
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: It's just one of the dumbest moves. I think they

258
00:16:14,040 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: can do property taxes. A couple of years ago, I

259
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: own a little thirty two unit of storage shit, and

260
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: one year they took my property taxes from one hundred

261
00:16:24,840 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: and ninety thousand to five hundred and forty thousand. You

262
00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 1: can't have swarped that. And so the following year, I

263
00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:37,880
Speaker 1: hired a appraiser to go and appraise the business, and

264
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: he put it at two hundred and forty and so

265
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: I took his appraisal and took it to Brissouri County

266
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,600
Speaker 1: and got it reduced. And then once again this year

267
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: they jacked it back up. Education. We need more parents involved.

268
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: We don't need money. Money is not the answer parent

269
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:58,040
Speaker 1: parental involvement is. Anyways, overall, I think I think this

270
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: is really a stupid move on the Republican and it's

271
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: going to alienate in a lot of people. And that's

272
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: my two cents worth exactly right. It will not gain

273
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:10,240
Speaker 1: a single vote. It will cost a number of votes.

274
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 1: But this was not a vote gainer. This was about

275
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:19,880
Speaker 1: serving the alcohol industry. I like those folks. I like alcohol.

276
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,160
Speaker 3: I want to be a state known as a leader

277
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 3: in freedom and individual choice. What you find out is

278
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 3: when you when you when you put all the people

279
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 3: who vote Republicans into a room, there is not complete

280
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 3: agreement on this. There are a lot of nanny state

281
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:51,320
Speaker 3: Republicans and the only difference between them and the Iranian

282
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 3: Mullas is where they live and which God they worship.

283
00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 3: But they too, they want they do not want women

284
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,840
Speaker 3: showing any part of their bodies, maybe just the eyes.

285
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:09,159
Speaker 3: They don't want any homos, they don't want any alcohol,

286
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,879
Speaker 3: rather not any port, but they'll tolerate the port. This

287
00:18:14,160 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 3: idea that you are going to restrict adults from decisions

288
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 3: that they make is so absurd. There's a book I

289
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:28,840
Speaker 3: can't remember the name of it. The guy talked about

290
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,640
Speaker 3: the leaders of the Temperance Union and how they were

291
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 3: themselves drinkers. There is a very, very perverse thing with

292
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 3: some people who get righteous about making things illegal, making

293
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 3: them taboo. Is they like them to be illegal in

294
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:51,120
Speaker 3: taboo so that they can do them. It's thrilling, they're

295
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 3: naughty and you find out that that's what they do.

296
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,680
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that's Dan Patrick's point, that's not my point.

297
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 3: But there are a lot of people who will vote

298
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 3: and advocate for making something illegal that they themselves do.

299
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 3: This real weird deal. But this means that people are

300
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 3: gonna be in legal jeopardy, legal peril doing something that

301
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,280
Speaker 3: yesterday was legal because they're still going to do it.

302
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 3: And that's absurd. That is ridiculous and absurd. And you

303
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 3: know what happens when this a guy gets gets selected

304
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 3: for a jury and they go down. They don't trust

305
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 3: the cops. Johnny Holmes, district attorney, used to say, if

306
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,159
Speaker 3: you want to get rid of a bad bill, you

307
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 3: don't refuse to enforce it. You heavily enforce it. You

308
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 3: show people how bad the bill is. They'll do the

309
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 3: right thing from there. I don't understand why we have

310
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:54,479
Speaker 3: a frank number two and I have a Frank number one.

311
00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 3: That's weird. It's somebody's did you really write author as

312
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 3: this person's name? Okay? Author A U T h O R.

313
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:07,440
Speaker 3: You know, you feel like you're the TSAREF talk. You

314
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 3: rank one of the top talk hosts in the country.

315
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,199
Speaker 3: You've made something of yourself and you still got somebody

316
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 3: callscreen and putting somebody's name as author on the that's

317
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 3: where we are. You know. It's like, you know you're

318
00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 3: lou Gerig, but you're having to drive yourself to the games. Author.

319
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 3: You're up.

320
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:29,439
Speaker 4: Michael Arriss, you do it.

321
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 3: I'm good what you got it?

322
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 7: And it is Arthur.

323
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:34,440
Speaker 4: I love Dan Patrick.

324
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 7: I worked on Hiss a.

325
00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 5: Very very low level volunteer for his campaign when he

326
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 5: first ran for state Senate.

327
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 7: But he is so wrong about this so.

328
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 5: Wrong about this. I want to know if you could

329
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 5: probably tell me who introduced this bill?

330
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 7: Who brought this out?

331
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:52,640
Speaker 2: There?

332
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 9: Was it Dan Patrick?

333
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 5: Or did somebody else bring the bill and Dan Patrick

334
00:20:57,080 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 5: latched onto it?

335
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, as I understand it, Senate Bill three

336
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 3: was Dan Patrick's creation.

337
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:10,239
Speaker 5: Well, whoever the caller was before me was right if

338
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:14,320
Speaker 5: and you were right the Republicans talk about wanting to

339
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,000
Speaker 5: turn Texas blue.

340
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,480
Speaker 4: It's stupid, ridiculous stuff like.

341
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:20,719
Speaker 7: This that is going to make that happen.

342
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 3: That's exactly right, Thank you very much. You know, you

343
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:28,240
Speaker 3: know what happens when a party dominates, as the Republicans

344
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 3: have in Texas since nineteen ninety four when George H.

345
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 3: George W. Bush defeated in Richards. You you have one

346
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 3: party rule after that and really consolidated by the early

347
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:53,919
Speaker 3: two thousands. And one party rule means that people get lazy,

348
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 3: they start assuming they can do anything they want, and

349
00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 3: they stop governing in a manner that is inclusive of

350
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:05,840
Speaker 3: what the people want, and they start playing. You'll get corruption,

351
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 3: you'll get game playing. You'll get marginal fringe issues becoming

352
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:16,880
Speaker 3: front and center because you don't think you're vulnerable and

353
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 3: that's how you give up control to that's how you

354
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:23,159
Speaker 3: get good people to vote for Democrat, a protest vote.

355
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 3: And I've seen it happen so darn many times. I

356
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,119
Speaker 3: can't tell you how many times I've seen this happen.

357
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 3: It happened so many times. You know, the country was

358
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 3: trending big time Republican, Nixon in sixty eight, Nixon in

359
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 3: seventy two, and then you have Watergate and the perception

360
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 3: of corruption, and in seventy six you end up with

361
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 3: Jimmy Carter, and I believe that was largely a reaction

362
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 3: to the belief that Nixon was so corrupt. Nixon wasn't

363
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 3: nearly as corrupt as LBJ, but the perception that he was.

364
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,960
Speaker 3: Let's go to Michael. Michael, you're on the Michael berryship.

365
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 7: But how's it going?

366
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 3: Berry Good?

367
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 7: I just kind of wanted to come on here and

368
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 7: just talk about how, you know, this is gonna pretty

369
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,359
Speaker 7: much affect me and some of the local people in

370
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 7: my area down here in Temple, Texas. You know, I've

371
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 7: been working for the last five years for Sintex Vape,

372
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 7: who's who's owned by a local veteran who is an MP.

373
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:27,960
Speaker 7: For twenty twenty five years one of the best men

374
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 7: that I know, you know, and prior to working for him,

375
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 7: I probably really wouldn't have given that he was just

376
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 7: given an endless supply of opiates from the VA that honestly,

377
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 7: when he was off the script man, he really wasn't

378
00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 7: a fun man to be around, and he was able

379
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 7: to take time get away from the opiates that the

380
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:50,680
Speaker 7: VA had absolutely basically shoved down his throat and addicted

381
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 7: him to. And then luckily with the twenty eighteen Farm

382
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,959
Speaker 7: Bill passing and him being able to actually consume and

383
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:01,679
Speaker 7: find strains that were able to specifically help him in

384
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:04,480
Speaker 7: his own medical degree. I just I just don't understand

385
00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 7: why Dan Patrick wants to make senior citizens and the

386
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 7: veteran criminals.

387
00:24:16,160 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 3: Some don't want to hear it. He'll just go ahead

388
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 3: and say it. I'm sorry to Michael Barry show July

389
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 3: to among Stars together. The phone lines would go but quickly.

390
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 3: I was flying back from DC recently, and obviously I

391
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:11,920
Speaker 3: had to get back late. And so we fly into

392
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 3: Houston and we land and there's no gate for us

393
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 3: to deboard. So pilot says, we're going to have to

394
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,560
Speaker 3: wait till they clear us for a gate, So we

395
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 3: sat there for over two hours. Now, when I've flown

396
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 3: to Indian and I've flown to Japan, those are long flights.

397
00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 3: You expected they're long flights. You settle in for that.

398
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 3: But when you've been on a plane and you kind

399
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 3: of mentally've landed, you've taxed. We sat there for over

400
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 3: two hours, couldn't get a gate. We arrived. It then

401
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 3: took forever or my bags to arrive because we had

402
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 3: moved to the gate lays now they have to move

403
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 3: all the stuff over there. And a friend was picking

404
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 3: me up, and there was a mile and a half

405
00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 3: long back up to get in to pick everybody up.

406
00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:27,400
Speaker 3: It felt like I was at a bizarre in Mesopotamia

407
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 3: in fifteen forty, just matt just teeming with people, and

408
00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 3: it was you know, hygiene is not practiced the same

409
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:44,800
Speaker 3: around the world. I don't know how else to say. This,

410
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 3: hygiene is not you know, farbeit for me to question diversity.

411
00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 3: Lord knows, I'm the last one because I'm the only

412
00:26:57,960 --> 00:27:00,000
Speaker 3: white guy in my house. But there were people from

413
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 3: countries dressed in ways I didn't even know. I mean,

414
00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 3: I think there were people from countries, you know where

415
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 3: they use a goat's head for the polo ball, and

416
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 3: that I'd like to go to one of those games.

417
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 3: I really would, But I think i'd want to be

418
00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:18,399
Speaker 3: there during a cooler season, because it strikes me that

419
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:28,880
Speaker 3: the winters are harsh and the summers are worse, you know, like, Yeah, anyway,

420
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:33,560
Speaker 3: let's go to Teresa. Teresa, what do you have, sweetheart?

421
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 3: You hung up the last time I went to you.

422
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, I'm sorry. I was transferring from my earbud

423
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 6: to my phone. Sixty eight year old hospice nurse, breast

424
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 6: cancer survivor of five years. Our patients often have uncontrolled pain,

425
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:00,439
Speaker 6: and I can't tell you the numb where of our

426
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 6: patients will say, well, my grandson said I should buy

427
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 6: some of this stuff and it would help me out.

428
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,120
Speaker 3: I hear this all the time.

429
00:28:11,080 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 6: And in my personal life. I can take the Omega

430
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:21,400
Speaker 6: eight gummies, have a gummy, or I can take xen X. Now,

431
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 6: I can get all the Xenix I want, But is

432
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 6: it as good for me as the Omega eight? Same results,

433
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 6: But I can get addicted to the xen x. So

434
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 6: just doesn't seem to make a lot of sense.

435
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 3: You know, I'm not saying that because you are a nurse,

436
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 3: you know more than everyone in the world. But I

437
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 3: have found that nurses tend to be, particularly when it

438
00:28:55,680 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 3: comes to practical medical and health information, at least as

439
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 3: knowledgeable as doctors. Nurses tend to spend more time with patients,

440
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 3: around patients, interacting with patients. And it's amazing to me

441
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 3: how many nurses oppose the COVID shot. How many nurses

442
00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:21,680
Speaker 3: I hear from I can't read where they work. I

443
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:25,480
Speaker 3: get them in trouble. Who who have your same opinion

444
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 3: on this issue? Let's go to Eavy Evy, you're on

445
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 3: the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead with her? Do you heavy?

446
00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,400
Speaker 3: What kind of name is Evy?

447
00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:41,200
Speaker 4: Hell?

448
00:29:41,360 --> 00:29:41,800
Speaker 2: I don't know.

00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:47,280
Speaker 4: My daddy gave it to me. Okay, yeah, I'm I'm

Speaker 3: Oh are you out of Beaumont?

Speaker 4: All right, go ahead, I love you show. Mister Burry

457
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:06,200
Speaker 4: thinks it's gotten me through a lot of days, sir.

458
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:07,840

Speaker 4: I did. I own my own business and I've been

462
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 4: turning down work for the last month.

00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 3: help the widow Jones when her hot water heater is

466
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:34,840
Speaker 3: on the on the blink. But I get the point.

467
00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 4: I absolutely will. Mister Burry.

468
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:39,880

470
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:44,959
Speaker 4: as a horse.

471
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,840
Speaker 3: Brother man, I'm going to be honest with you. I

472
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 3: bet you you will find yourself thinking maybe you'll go back,

473
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,360
Speaker 3: because I find a lot of people, if they're still

474
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 3: in good health and they don't need to move to

475
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 3: go see the Grint, that they end up kind of

476
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 3: wanting to go back and do it again.

477
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,640
Speaker 4: I probably will, I'm sure, but I want to go

478
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 4: visit some places and spend some time with my family.

479
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 3: Do you think that if you could have explained to people, hey,

480
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 3: I'm going to be away for six months, we'll call

481
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 3: the retirement you just you know, here's who I recommend

482
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 3: you call that. Maybe you just do that and then

483
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 3: leave it there waiting for you in six months.

484
00:31:28,640 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 4: Mister Barry, My father started our business in nineteen sixty four.

485
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:37,080
Speaker 4: People will call me every day, even though I've told

486
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:41,240
Speaker 4: them I'm retired. I just don't look forward to ever

487
00:31:41,400 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 4: cleaning another sewer line in my life.

488
00:31:44,160 --> 00:31:49,560
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I've always thought that's probably the worst part

489
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 3: of that business.

490
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,320
Speaker 4: It is, but it's a money making part because when

491
00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,600
Speaker 4: you're cleaning the sewer line, there's a problem and it's

492
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:03,560
Speaker 4: got to be repaired. So you, like you always preach,

493
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:07,240
Speaker 4: you use opportunities that you're given to promote yourself your

494
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 4: business and make your money.

495
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 3: Couldn't you sell the business to somebody?

496
00:32:14,840 --> 00:32:23,160
Speaker 4: I I could. To me, what I may do is
