Texas Southern 132 00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: University was created. 133 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 2: I think sweat feet Painter was the was the case 134 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 2: if I remember correctly, but I could be wrong. Somewhere 135 00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:46,080 Speaker 2: probably late forties early fifties. University of Texas did not 136 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 2: admit black students at the time, so a black university 137 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 2: was created. And I think it was a pharmacy student. 138 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 2: I knew these things at one point. It was a 139 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 2: It was a major architect in town named John Chase. 140 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,640 Speaker 2: His son, Tony Chase, is a friend of mine, and 141 00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 2: John Chase was I think if Heeman Sweat was an 142 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 2: architecture student, John Chase was number two behind him. But 143 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 2: John Chase became a guy that everybody loved, Republicans, Democrats. 144 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 2: He would end up designing embassies around the world. He 145 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,200 Speaker 2: would end up becoming a world at least a nationally 146 00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 2: famous architect who built, who built buildings around the world. 147 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:38,839 Speaker 2: His son, Tony Chase has done extraordinarily well. Harvard Law School, 148 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 2: Harvard football team, Harvard undergrad was uh. I knew him 149 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:45,959 Speaker 2: originally because he was my wife's professor at the University 150 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 2: of Houston and went on to own radio stations, businesses. 151 00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:59,160 Speaker 1: Private equity. We have very different politics. 152 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 2: He's close friends with Barack Obama because they went to 153 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 2: Harvard together, but we're also very close friends. We just 154 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:14,439 Speaker 2: have different politics. Anyway, TSU had such promise, and there 155 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:19,720 Speaker 2: were years where TSU's student body was as good, where 156 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:23,959 Speaker 2: some of their students were as good as very esteemed universities. 157 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 2: Because much like blacks in the fifties and sixties who 158 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:33,319 Speaker 2: went into the military or the post office, these are 159 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 2: guys that probably should have been way above that station 160 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,360 Speaker 2: in life where they ended up pay wise, leadership wise, 161 00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,720 Speaker 2: but because they were black, they were held back. So 162 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 2: you would see these guys that were beneath the accomplishment 163 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 2: and stature level of where they should have been because 164 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:57,040 Speaker 2: of race, because it did matter then, and so they 165 00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,800 Speaker 2: were overqualified for the position where they were a lot 166 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 2: of things changed, the pendulum changed. TSU ended up becoming 167 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:11,600 Speaker 2: a place where black politicians could could get their beek wet, 168 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:16,960 Speaker 2: where the white statewide officials. You'd have your white governor 169 00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,640 Speaker 2: and he'd put the people on the board and they 170 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,920 Speaker 2: were gonna it was going to be like this charitable circuit. 171 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 2: In Houston, there was a president named Priscilla Slade, and 172 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:31,839 Speaker 2: Priscilla Slade was the best thing that happened to the 173 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:33,199 Speaker 2: university until she wasn't. 174 00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:39,679 Speaker 1: She came in and she was a socialite. 175 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,680 Speaker 2: She was able to She was able to get the 176 00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:50,960 Speaker 2: old white guys excited about this tired black university that 177 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 2: was now open to everybody, but still majority black in 178 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:59,040 Speaker 2: third Ward, near near University of Houston. Nobody that was 179 00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 2: helping her raise money had ever gone to that school. 180 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,640 Speaker 2: It was the Jack Blanton crowd that was doing this, 181 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,480 Speaker 2: and she was very good at getting them excited about 182 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 2: this project of Hey, we're going to have a HBCU 183 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,800 Speaker 2: historically black college university that the. 184 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 1: City can be proud of. 185 00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:19,839 Speaker 2: And damned if these old white guys didn't didn't jump 186 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 2: in and with all, you know, everything they had and 187 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:27,120 Speaker 2: support it. But then there every time there's a phase, 188 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:32,840 Speaker 2: there's a there's corruption, there's theft, there's lots of money stolen. 189 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 2: And then you get to Rodney Ellis's and these black 190 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 2: politicians who say no, no, no, we don't want to state audit. 191 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 2: You see how much fraud there is the Minnesota Somali situation, 192 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:52,480 Speaker 2: what what Elon was able to expose through DOGE. You 193 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 2: see these organizations and it's not all black, but a 194 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 2: lot of it is. 195 00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: Where you get something that. 196 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,240 Speaker 2: Is set aside as this will be a black thing 197 00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:04,800 Speaker 2: and immediately, and I saw this in politics, Sheila Jackson 198 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,439 Speaker 2: Lee was the worst, although Rodney is smart enough to 199 00:13:08,520 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 2: keep his fingerprints off of it and run it much 200 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:18,360 Speaker 2: better or more with more corruption. And you see these people, 201 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,920 Speaker 2: they end up taking control of these things. They have 202 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 2: their people that they place there, which is their their sibling, 203 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 2: their spouse, their their frat brother, their sorrows sister, and 204 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 2: they put their people in these things. 205 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 1: And then let's say TCU. 206 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,400 Speaker 2: For instance, They've got to build a building, all right, 207 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,840 Speaker 2: So they get their architect, and they get their concrete guy, 208 00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,839 Speaker 2: and they get their brick guy. And you'll see these 209 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,079 Speaker 2: guys that come out of nowhere and all of a 210 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 2: sudden they've got a construction management company or an environmental 211 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 2: compliance company. And now all of a sudden, they you know, 212 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,360 Speaker 2: they go from you know themselves to one hundred and 213 00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,360 Speaker 2: fifty million dollars in contracts overnight. 214 00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,079 Speaker 1: And it has nothing to do with how good they 215 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:02,959 Speaker 1: are at what they do. 216 00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,880 Speaker 2: The guy who's really good at what he does, he's 217 00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 2: working for some big company. I'm talk about the black 218 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,360 Speaker 2: guy who does that. He's working for some big company. 219 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 2: And he wants no part of doing that TSU work. 220 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 2: So now we have it. This is what the third 221 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:22,720 Speaker 2: or fourth time. It just keeps coming around in cycles. 222 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 2: The state auditor says TSU is unable to account for 223 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 2: millions of dollars in spending. I'm going to tell you 224 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 2: this isn't just the person who stole the money. This 225 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 2: is layers and layers. There's a lot of beaks getting 226 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 2: wet on this. There's a lot of people on a 227 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 2: deal like this who find out what's going on. There 228 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 2: are cocktail parties, there are checks written, there are people hired, 229 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 2: there are deals cut and oh, by the way, the 230 00:14:57,760 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 2: poor black kid that's going to TSU. Sorry, there's no 231 00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 2: money for the actual education that was provided by the 232 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 2: state for you to learn. But God forbid me, pointed out, 233 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 2: I'm the races. Okay, that's the way it has to be. 234 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 2: K show you with the story. 235 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,400 Speaker 7: Texas Southern University and hot Water tonight after it was 236 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,720 Speaker 7: unable to account for millions of dollars in spending. It's 237 00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,360 Speaker 7: the result of a final report from the state auditor. 238 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 7: The top issues, According to the audit, the university overrode 239 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:31,000 Speaker 7: safeguards to make purchases, buying things from vendors without first 240 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 7: completing requisitions that leads to budget overruns. TSU has also 241 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:40,080 Speaker 7: not been doing an annual inventory, which resulted in the 242 00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 7: loss of fifty assets totaling three point two million dollars. 243 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 7: The state auditor also says the university failed to get 244 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 7: timely and accurate financial data to the office. Lieutenant Governor 245 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,520 Speaker 7: Dan Patrick, who called for a Texas Rangers investigation back 246 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 7: in November, posted on social media today quote, I will 247 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 7: do everything in my power to be sure that not 248 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 7: one additional taxpayer dollar goes unaccounted for. It is hereby dissolved, 249 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 7: mister Michael Berry. 250 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:16,400 Speaker 1: Well not about desert wraps are all up. Many Damage 251 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:18,160 Speaker 1: was a hat maker. 252 00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,400 Speaker 2: Jerry Jeff bought hats from him, knew to be good 253 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 2: friends with him. He may not know the name, but 254 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 2: you know the hats if you've seen Lonesome Dove. The 255 00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:34,000 Speaker 2: famous Gus hat that Robert duvall Or was made custom 256 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 2: made by Many Damage. He made Tommy Lee Jones's hat 257 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 2: for the same movie. But the Gus hat is the 258 00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 2: one that is most famous. What I love about Jerry 259 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,600 Speaker 2: Jeff Walker and you either get this or you don't. 260 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 2: And I don't suggest that you're less a person if 261 00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 2: you don't get it. It just means you you have 262 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 2: an experience the or you may not be that kind 263 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 2: of person. What I love about the Texas Red dirt 264 00:16:55,760 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 2: music and these guys were the first wants to really 265 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:07,160 Speaker 2: introduce it in this way. Is it storytelling songs about 266 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,720 Speaker 2: things they're doing that are not written to be played 267 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 2: in Nashville or on radio. They're almost a diary, a pickin' diary. 268 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 2: And if you ever crossed paths, I mean Luke and Back, 269 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:24,199 Speaker 2: got too big, got bigger than it probably should have 270 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 2: ever been. But it was William Whaliam's outlaw phase and 271 00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 2: and you know so that you got to expect that's 272 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:36,520 Speaker 2: going to happen. But these these moments are just they're very, 273 00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 2: very special. And I think that's what Joe Eely represented. 274 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 2: I was not the biggest Joe Elee fan up because 275 00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,439 Speaker 2: I didn't like him or the flat Landers. I just 276 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,679 Speaker 2: hadn't been exposed to that same way I had Robert 277 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,919 Speaker 2: Earle or Jerry jeff or Charlie Robinson or you know 278 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 2: those sorts of things. But what I love about that 279 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,760 Speaker 2: style and genre of music is you can tell that 280 00:17:57,840 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 2: Jerry Jeff Walker is sitting there having the hat made 281 00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 2: and says, must write a song about Manny. And he 282 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 2: didn't care if you know who man he is, and 283 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,399 Speaker 2: he didn't care if you buy the album, and he 284 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 2: didn't care if you sing along. He wanted to write 285 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:15,120 Speaker 2: a songboy his buddy Manny. I have a friend named 286 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:19,439 Speaker 2: Malcolm Hitchcock, and I was a Jerry Jeff fan but 287 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,199 Speaker 2: had not heard the album when I got to be 288 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,679 Speaker 2: friends with Malcolm Hitchcock. He had a bar in what 289 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 2: he called sanm Pedro, but he's English and they can't 290 00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 2: get accents in Belize, and the bar is called Fetos 291 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 2: fid O, spelled like fidos. And Malcolm's claim to fame 292 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 2: is he was a British sailor. He ended up in 293 00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:47,719 Speaker 2: British Honduras, which became Belize, and in his travels around 294 00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 2: the world and drunken revelry of everywhere he went, he 295 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 2: decided he wanted to come back to British Honduras, which 296 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,679 Speaker 2: became of course Belize. But he had to make the 297 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 2: money because he wanted to own a bar on the water. 298 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 2: So he was a roadie for Eric Clapton for years, 299 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:09,440 Speaker 2: and he got into set making, set production and built 300 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:10,800 Speaker 2: up to having his own company. 301 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,440 Speaker 1: Wasn't a big company, but he's quite the craftsman. 302 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:19,920 Speaker 2: And he built the scene in Titanic when they're down, 303 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 2: when they're down in the in the bottom is at 304 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 2: the galley. They're down under the belly of the ship. 305 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 2: I don't have the vocabulary for it. And they slammed 306 00:19:28,720 --> 00:19:31,399 Speaker 2: the doors and the water comes washing in and they 307 00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 2: have nowhere to go, so they they drown. He created, 308 00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,760 Speaker 2: like a ride at an amusement part a way that 309 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 2: that water could fill and then just the way it 310 00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,919 Speaker 2: would go up on a on a on a you know, 311 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,440 Speaker 2: on its edge, and that would drain the water out 312 00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 2: that way they could keep shooting that scene. He created 313 00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 2: that and that landed him his actually highest paying gig, 314 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 2: which was more than Titanic, which was doing a Marlborough 315 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:04,199 Speaker 2: Man spot for who was the bond guy? Was it 316 00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:07,800 Speaker 2: Pierce Brosnan? Was that the guy's name? Pierce Brosnan? You 317 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:08,440 Speaker 2: I'm talking about? 318 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: Yeah? Okay, So a. 319 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,720 Speaker 2: Japanese company hired him to build the set and the 320 00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:18,240 Speaker 2: idea was Pierce Brosnan. 321 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: I feel like I'm not saying his name right, but. 322 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:24,400 Speaker 2: Whatever would be like Godzilla walking through Tokyo. 323 00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 1: He would tower over the city. 324 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 2: But that meant he had to build a replica of 325 00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:32,639 Speaker 2: the city that was smaller than Pierce Brosnan because you 326 00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 2: didn't have CGI back then. So he got three million 327 00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 2: dollars for that, which was a fortune.

And there is some volunteerism. 400 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:32,880 Speaker 2: That's one off because if he has a minute, he'll 401 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,840 Speaker 2: go do something. But there is volunteerism by which you 402 00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:38,159 Speaker 2: could set your watch. Stuff that he's very proud of. 403 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 2: He's done every year. Truth in the matter is, you 404 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:45,919 Speaker 2: could do without every Rod Yellis and Sheila Jackson Lee 405 00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 2: and Sevestro Turner.

You cannot have America without Andy, 407 00:24:55,119 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 2: and we underestimate how important that is.

I don't 410 00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 2: mean these megachurches that are just a TV show. You 411 00:25:10,119 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 2: can't have that church without Horton McCabe, my friend Kraig 412 00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,440 Speaker 2: McCabe's dad, or JT. 413 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 1: Brumley, or Archie Boy. There was Archie Boy and Archie Girl. 414 00:25:22,040 --> 00:25:24,040 Speaker 2: Because there was a couple, they were each named Archie 415 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:26,240 Speaker 2: and so they were known as Archie Boy and Archie Girl. 416 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,680 Speaker 2: You have to have people like that to have a church, 417 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:35,240 Speaker 2: to have a town, reserve deputies, volunteer fire departments, serve 418 00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 2: on the water district, and not actually rip people off. 419 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:42,359 Speaker 2: You wouldn't do the Little League. You wouldn't have anything, 420 00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 2: but for those kind of guys and their wives do 421 00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:50,440 Speaker 2: the cookbook.
