1 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: It's that time time, time, time, luck and load. So 2 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: Michael Verie Show is on the air. 3 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 2: There has apparently been a shooting in Minneapolis. We know 4 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 2: that because wall to wall coverage. Fox News has abandoned 5 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,800 Speaker 2: whatever else they were talking about, and they're going to 6 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:42,200 Speaker 2: show us pictures of people hugging and grieving because there 7 00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 2: has been a mass shooting, and all over America is 8 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 2: the next mass shooter watching the television, maybe sitting alone 9 00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:58,320 Speaker 2: in the basement of his parents' home, twenty four years old, 10 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,120 Speaker 2: doesn't have a job, not sure what he's going to do. 11 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:06,120 Speaker 2: He got fired from the Sacki Pack for saying really 12 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:08,399 Speaker 2: weird things to the girls who work there because he's 13 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 2: a creeper's cheepers. And now all he's dreaming about is 14 00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 2: being the person who caused all this wreckage, because then 15 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 2: he'll be famous. Ted Kazinski didn't send bombs through the mail, 16 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:32,399 Speaker 2: ingeniously devised to figure out his bomb making prowess and 17 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 2: have proof of concept. He did it so you'd have 18 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 2: to read his screeds. He did it because he had 19 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 2: all of this crazy coming out of him that nobody 20 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 2: would listen to, and so he has to get attention. 21 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 2: I will notice. Sometimes there will be people on Facebook 22 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 2: and they'll say something really stupid to what I post, 23 00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 2: and then when I respond, dude, what are you doing? 24 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 2: I mean you didn't like what I posted. You didn't 25 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 2: have to you could have just kept scrolling. You took 26 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 2: time to write something like that. And they will basically 27 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 2: respond with some version of I needed attention and I 28 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 2: got your attention. I needed you to pay attention to me. Well, 29 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 2: how many times have you told your young child if 30 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:27,799 Speaker 2: you want attention, learn how to seek it and get 31 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 2: it instead of doing something bad acting out so you'll 32 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 2: get the negative attention, which is still attention. When you 33 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 2: go wall to wall on these shootings, two things happened. 34 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 2: Number One, you inspire other people because shootings are big business. 35 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 2: We're going to know the name of the shooter, what 36 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:52,560 Speaker 2: their opinion is, if they have manifesto that'll be read, 37 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 2: what they've done before. Oh this is great, Look at this. 38 00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 2: We're all over the TV. So people will say to me, well, 39 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 2: you have to cover it. You don't see That's what 40 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,920 Speaker 2: you don't understand. There are ten other things happening in 41 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 2: this country right now, any one of which could be 42 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:11,560 Speaker 2: wall to wall coverage. But they're not being covered, and 43 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 2: you don't know they're not being covered. Well, you've got 44 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,360 Speaker 2: to be respectful to the victims. You think this is respectful. 45 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 2: You're watching mothers whose child is inside and probably just 46 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 2: got shot as they wail. A mother who was at 47 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 2: Pilate's class or pulling weeds in the yard when she 48 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 2: got the call and she rushed up there. She doesn't 49 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 2: have her makeup on, her hair's not done, she's in 50 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:43,960 Speaker 2: her nightgown and she's wailing, trying to connect with this 51 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 2: child she brought into the world. She's at her absolute 52 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 2: lowest point imaginable, and you're showing her and that what 53 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 2: that's respect that you think that needs to be shown. 54 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 2: You think that that somehow helped us. That's for you. 55 00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 2: That's not for her, that's not for the victim. That's 56 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 2: for you. You like to rubber neck. See that's a 57 00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 2: weakness in us all. But why why cover this? Why 58 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 2: cover it constantly? And then we got that same group. 59 00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 2: We've got that black guy that was with the FBI. 60 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 2: I forget his name, he can hardly talk. They bring 61 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 2: him out there and they say, ron, I can't remember 62 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,040 Speaker 2: his name. You don't talking about Ramon, dark skinned black GUYE. 63 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 2: He was with the FBI, and he's kind of they 64 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 2: got they have a whole crew, and so the producers 65 00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,640 Speaker 2: immediately at that moment, call those people. If those people 66 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,480 Speaker 2: are on vacation somewhere, they get them to a truck 67 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 2: and get them in the truck. All right, Ron, what 68 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,480 Speaker 2: do you think happened here? He doesn't know a damn 69 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 2: thing of what happened, and he says, well, it's probably 70 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 2: too early to tell, but I think what we're going 71 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 2: to see here, and then he complete conjecture, just complete conjecture. 72 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 2: And that's what we do. And now now we've got 73 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 2: we've got three cameras. We've got one that shows us 74 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 2: the map and it annunciation shirt so we can see 75 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 2: where the church is. Now ninety nine percent of people 76 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 2: watching this have never been to Minneapolis, much less know 77 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,679 Speaker 2: where that church is.

And 100 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 2: so they have a whole rapid response team that does this, 101 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 2: and they roll them out and I guarantee they're all 102 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 2: getting the calls right now.

I know people that 173 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 2: will ask their doctor if they can do this or that, 174 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:49,640 Speaker 2: not with the tone of is it advisable that I 175 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 2: do this or that? But daddy can I There is 176 00:10:56,440 --> 00:11:02,400 Speaker 2: an infantilism to more adult then I think we're comfortable admitting. 177 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 2: And they're not all Democrats. Mostly they are. Mostly they are, 178 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 2: But there are a number of people who are Jesus 179 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 2: take the wheel over everything. They don't want to make 180 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 2: a decision, they don't want to be accountable, they don't 181 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:26,079 Speaker 2: want to be wrong. They fear failure. They do not 182 00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 2: have any it's paralysis by analysis. They don't have any 183 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:34,560 Speaker 2: confidence in their own decision making and self governance, whether 184 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 2: that's at the church, the school board, congress, the president. 185 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:46,080 Speaker 2: Self governance requires that every individual make decisions that they 186 00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 2: believe to be the right decisions. But of course that's 187 00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,120 Speaker 2: not how it works, is it. We have people like 188 00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:57,640 Speaker 2: Karl Rove who take the millions of dollars from really 189 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:05,360 Speaker 2: rich people to convince working class people, Christians, suburbanites, white people, 190 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:10,320 Speaker 2: business owners that this is what this is watching your 191 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 2: best interest, and so they create little you know, they 192 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,439 Speaker 2: they create little little sparks and little fires over there. 193 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,160 Speaker 2: One of the ones he would use during George W. 194 00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 2: Bush's career, that there were two that Rove would use 195 00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:26,360 Speaker 2: to when he needed to get people out to vote. 196 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:31,839 Speaker 2: The homosexuals are coming.

Okay, well you're 209 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 2: four or against or don't care about that, But why 210 00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:19,520 Speaker 2: do you keep pushing that onto the ballot Because it's 211 00:13:19,559 --> 00:13:22,280 Speaker 2: hard to get people to vote, so you got to 212 00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,840 Speaker 2: create a boogeyman to get people to vote. The other 213 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 2: one was guns, and the Democrats are so stupid. If 214 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 2: the Democrats had had any sense, they would keep those 215 00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 2: two issues off because you know what those issues do. 216 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,559 Speaker 2: They drive our core to the ballot box. Now, I know, 217 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 2: I know if you guy, it's not true, Michael, it'd 218 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,560 Speaker 2: give some Democrats out. That's what everybody wants you to believe. 219 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 2: If you put those issues on the ballot, if the 220 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 2: Democrats had an ounce of sense, they would never use 221 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:59,400 Speaker 2: the word gun again. There, you gotta realize most people 222 00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 2: are indifferent to politics. You're not. You're listening to talk radio, 223 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,520 Speaker 2: you watch Fox News, you go to Trump rallies. You're 224 00:14:06,559 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 2: not typical. You were in a very small distinct minority. 225 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 2: That's why primaries are so important because it's only people 226 00:14:13,120 --> 00:14:15,079 Speaker 2: like you that are voting in the primary, so you 227 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,800 Speaker 2: have a great deal more influence than you would normally have. 228 00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:22,120 Speaker 2: But most people don't care. Now they might care about 229 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 2: how the astros are doing. They might they might have 230 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 2: had their fantasy draft last night. Putty fired up a team. 231 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 2: They got first first pick, but it snaked. When it snaked, 232 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:31,720 Speaker 2: they got kind of screwed and they didn't get it. 233 00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 2: They didn't get a pick for almost two full rounds. 234 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 2: That's what they're talking about today. That's what they're talking about. 235 00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 2: They're talking about a concert they're going to go to. 236 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,880 Speaker 2: They're talking about a vacation they got planned in the 237 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:47,160 Speaker 2: middle of September. They're talking about their kid being in trouble. 238 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 2: The don't know what they're going to do. They're talking 239 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 2: about whether they can afford this new house. They're talking 240 00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 2: about their stock portfolio and why it's up. Should they 241 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 2: buy should they buy a bitcoin. That's the kind of 242 00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 2: things people are thinking about, and people the political class 243 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 2: will tell you that people are stupid or sheep because 244 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:05,440 Speaker 2: they don't pay attention to what we're talking about all 245 00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 2: the time. They shouldn't need to. Government should not be 246 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,440 Speaker 2: as all encompassing as it is. It should not matter 247 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,120 Speaker 2: to our lives as much as it does. It only 248 00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:19,400 Speaker 2: does because it is overreached. Government was never intended to 249 00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:22,880 Speaker 2: be what it is today and should not be. It's unhealthy. 250 00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:26,520 Speaker 2: You don't care who the leader of your country is 251 00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 2: unless you live in a totalitarian country or are at 252 00:15:31,160 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 2: risk of living in a totalitarian country. You shouldn't need 253 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 2: to worry so much about it. 254 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 3: But you do. 255 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 2: We all know you do, because we've seen what the 256 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 2: left can do. You know, you think about it when 257 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:46,360 Speaker 2: you go back to the original state of Man. There 258 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:52,080 Speaker 2: was no politics. People identified as their little community versus 259 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:57,840 Speaker 2: that little community over there, or Christian or Evangelical versus Catholic, 260 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 2: or Jew versus Muslim are uh, you know, Spartan versus 261 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 2: Trojan or whatever that might be, the Romans versus And 262 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:15,280 Speaker 2: somewhere along the way that natural desire for the government 263 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 2: to grow and fester and and and amalgamate into this 264 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 2: powerful thing that now everyone in society thinks they're part 265 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,400 Speaker 2: of it and getting so riled up by it.

He wore a 340 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:58,400 Speaker 2: prosthetic jaw to make a stronger jaw on in a movie. 341 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:02,720 Speaker 2: Can you imagine? And so you said that you were 342 00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 2: very unhappy with him. Be good because you got punished 343 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,160 Speaker 2: for an LOOE. Can you tell that story please? 344 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, me and John moy we're talking a little too 345 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 4: much during assembly and coach comes around at the end 346 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 4: of the aisle and holds up a sign that said LOOE, 347 00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,720 Speaker 4: which stood for lack of effort. And we were held 348 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 4: the higher standards back then since we were on the 349 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 4: football team, even though we weren't that good, and so 350 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:26,480 Speaker 4: we had to run. 351 00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 2: Extra lapse and you resented having to run the extra 352 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:30,400 Speaker 2: lab to this day. 353 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,159 Speaker 4: I was hoping for some kind of retribution. 354 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:37,760 Speaker 2: So when you saw that Todd McVay allegedly was escorted out, 355 00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,160 Speaker 2: we don't know that he was arrested. There's no arrest record, 356 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:41,840 Speaker 2: so he may not have been arrested. That he was 357 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 2: escorted out may just be an active investigation. Is it 358 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 2: fair to say you're kind of happy he got. 359 00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,879 Speaker 4: Officially thoughts and prayers to his family. 360 00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 2: Huh? 361 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 4: But you know, make me run? 362 00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:54,240 Speaker 3: Will you? Yeah? 363 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:58,399 Speaker 2: Are you so when you when you realize that was 364 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,120 Speaker 2: the same guy, It made you run and you didn't 365 00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:04,000 Speaker 2: think you had to. You thought to yourself, will. 366 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,440 Speaker 4: Maybe he'll be doing extra lapse in prison. 367 00:22:06,600 --> 00:22:09,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, mess with the bull, get the horns. What I'm 368 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,800 Speaker 2: trying to say? Okay, all right, I see that you 369 00:22:13,640 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 2: have acquired by osmosis some of my vindictiveness over the 370 00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:21,439 Speaker 2: twenty years we've worked together. That's good to know, Robert. 371 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,360 Speaker 2: You're on the Michael Berry Show. What say you, sir? 372 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 3: So good to talk to you in person. It's been 373 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:33,520 Speaker 3: ten subjects ago. Back then you were talking about the 374 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:37,040 Speaker 3: shooting and the TV and I'm like, after my wife 375 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,360 Speaker 3: died and the cats knocked over, the TV got rid 376 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 3: of it. So John Tyne vanished pipe dream to Ton's 377 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,680 Speaker 3: people off a little bit, but blow up your TV, 378 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 3: throw away your newspaper, moved to the country, and bede 379 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:53,000 Speaker 3: your home. Okay. 380 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:53,720 Speaker 1: So then. 381 00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:59,919 Speaker 3: Confidence, that's the main deal most of the youngsters today. 382 00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,159 Speaker 3: And I was one of these people. I didn't have 383 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 3: good confidence, so I ended up trying to compensate with anger, 384 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,200 Speaker 3: which you know, it's not an uncommon practice, and it 385 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,520 Speaker 3: works sometimes if you're the bigger guy, you know, staring 386 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 3: them off or whatever. But eventually, you know, if you 387 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 3: don't have any confidence, you're gonna back down and whatever. 388 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 3: And so if you teach the kids, I don't know 389 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:30,199 Speaker 3: how to do it necessarily. Like you talk about coaching 390 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 3: dalle ball. I took over this team up in third grade. 391 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 3: I told him everybody's gonna play every game, and I 392 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 3: rode the damn bench because the coaches kids were pitching 393 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,200 Speaker 3: and what you know how to do. And I played 394 00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 3: every kid every game, and we lost a bunch of games, 395 00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:50,520 Speaker 3: and the parents were yelling at me, and I'm like, whatever, 396 00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 3: I told these kids, I'm gonna play them every game. Somehow, 397 00:23:54,400 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 3: the next year we won the damn championships. So that's 398 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 3: a coaching story. And then U all them folks you 399 00:24:05,200 --> 00:24:08,720 Speaker 3: heard you heard that crazy hermon I forgot was preacher somebody. 400 00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 3: He's still there, Uh preacher somebody, Yeah, talking about killing 401 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 3: all the white people. You know as uh that that 402 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,120 Speaker 3: was his plan. That was just talking about. And then 403 00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 3: the next week, ten days later or whatever, the Crackerbell 404 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:30,680 Speaker 3: incident happened.

Well, he keeps asking, 496 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:03,880 Speaker 2: and he's this is somebody who you've fired, laid off, 497 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:08,640 Speaker 2: screwed you over, did this, did this? Why are you 498 00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:12,880 Speaker 2: going to lunch? Will Well, I'm a nice guy and 499 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 2: you're not. Michael. Yes, but guess what, I'm not stressed out. 500 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 2: Guess what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna go play some pickleball. 501 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,600 Speaker 2: I'm gonna go watch a movie. I'm gonna go smoke 502 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:24,760 Speaker 2: a cigar and go. Guess what you're gonna be doing. 503 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:26,720 Speaker 2: You're gonna be in a meeting with a dufish you 504 00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 2: don't like. And by the way, you know why he 505 00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 2: wants a meeting because he wants to sell you life 506 00:30:30,560 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 2: insurance or some service, or get hired or get you 507 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 2: to hire somebody else he knows. So now you've wasted 508 00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 2: thirty minutes getting there, thirty minutes getting home, an hour 509 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 2: at lunch. It wasn't even enjoyable. So you've burned two 510 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:46,200 Speaker 2: hours of your day and you're playing catch up with 511 00:30:46,280 --> 00:30:48,480 Speaker 2: the rest of your life. And so then you don't 512 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,160 Speaker 2: have the time to do the things you ought to 513 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 2: be doing, reading your Bible, working out, getting enough sleep. 514 00:30:55,560 --> 00:31:01,040 Speaker 2: So you're constantly scrambling and paint paint, playing catch up 515 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:06,880 Speaker 2: in your personal life because you're not setting boundaries in 516 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 2: your professional life. Or maybe maybe telwink Grill, maybe his 517 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 2: boundary was I'm not talking to you. Maybe I'm the 518 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 2: dumb ass. See I didn't think of it that way. Yeah, 519 00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:29,000 Speaker 2: that's four dchs. Maybe he was teaching me a lesson 520 00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 2: in time management by using me to make the point 521 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 2: as the foil to him who appeared as the dumb 522 00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,840 Speaker 2: ass but turns out to be the genius man. That's 523 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:44,480 Speaker 2: a whole different level right there. That's Trump and Tom 524 00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:48,600 Speaker 2: level machinations right there. That's a whole different level. 525 00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 3: Romond. 526 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 2: You know what I read this morning. The inventory of 527 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:58,480 Speaker 2: homes available right now. The number of new single family 528 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:03,400 Speaker 2: homes for sale jumped to five hundred eleven thousand in 529 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 2: the month of June. That's the highest since October of seven, 530 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:12,680 Speaker 2: five hundred and eleven thousand, since the twenty twenty low 531 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 2: we had the lowest inventory of homes in the number 532 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,200 Speaker 2: of new homes on the market has risen by two 533 00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:24,560 Speaker 2: hundred and thirty thousand, or eighty two percent. This doesn't 534 00:32:24,640 --> 00:32:27,960 Speaker 2: include all the new homes that are being built that 535 00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:32,000 Speaker 2: Black Rock is buying and renting. So you've got people 536 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:35,280 Speaker 2: now living in what looks like a home they own, 537 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:39,960 Speaker 2: but they rent it now. I think that accounts for 538 00:32:40,040 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 2: some of this, because a lot of people have bad 539 00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 2: credit or don't have them, and we got high interest rates, 540 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 2: so that makes it a lot harder to buy right now. 541 00:32:48,120 --> 00:32:50,520 Speaker 2: But I think that's some of what's going on. This 542 00:32:50,760 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 2: is the largest supply of new homes. This bubble is 543 00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 2: the largest supply of new homes in history. Read if 544 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:06,040 Speaker 2: you take out the two thousand and six housing bubble, well, 545 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:08,280 Speaker 2: we don't have the two thousand and six housing bubble 546 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:12,320 Speaker 2: issues at play right now, which makes this the second 547 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 2: largest supply of new homes in history and arguably the highest. 548 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:18,560 Speaker 2: If you take out that outlier that's across the country, 549 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:20,520 Speaker 2: you goad, well, must not be that in the South. 550 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:24,040 Speaker 2: It's worse in the South. It's a record three hundred 551 00:33:24,040 --> 00:33:27,640 Speaker 2: and twelve thousand, over sixty percent of the new homes 552 00:33:27,760 --> 00:33:32,520 Speaker 2: available right now single family are in the South. That 553 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,320 Speaker 2: is above the highest ever seen, which was in two 554 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 2: thousand and six in a housing bubble. Just a year 555 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:40,760 Speaker 2: before it crashed, there were two hundred ninety one thousand. 556 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:43,720 Speaker 2: That three hundred and twelve now twenty one thousand more 557 00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 2: homes available today. We got a lot of people sitting 558 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 2: on the sideline. We got a lot of houses that 559 00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:54,840 Speaker 2: are sitting there, which which costs builders a lot of 560 00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,360 Speaker 2: money to finish a home and leave it there. We've 561 00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,240 Speaker 2: got a lot of homeowners trying to get out of homes. 562 00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:02,560 Speaker 2: They got equity locked up you've got to lower the 563 00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:05,400 Speaker 2: interest rate. You've got to you've got to do it, 564 00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 2: and you've got to do it now
