1
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:11,079
Speaker 1: It's that time. Time, time, time, luck and load. The

2
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: Michael Varry Show is on the air. You're gonna make

3
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: a lot of money, right, yeah right, that's not yours?

4
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:24,959
Speaker 1: Well it becomes ours. How is that not stealing? I

5
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: don't think. I don't think that. I'm explaining this very well.

6
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,319
Speaker 2: It's seven eleven, right, you take a penny from the.

7
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 1: Tray from the crippled children.

8
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 3: No, that's the job.

9
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 2: I'm talking about the tray the you know, the pennies

10
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 2: for for everybody.

11
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: Oh, for everybody?

12
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,480
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, well those are whole pennies, all right. I'm

13
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 2: just talking about fractions of a penny here, okay.

14
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 4: But we do it from a much bigger tray, and

15
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 4: we do it a couple of million times, So what's

16
00:00:51,560 --> 00:01:00,160
Speaker 4: wrong with that?

17
00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:03,320
Speaker 1: As the spend.

18
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,080
Speaker 5: In a post on X, Doge said the Department of

19
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:12,480
Speaker 5: Health and Human Services had terminated a contract paying Family

20
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 5: Endeavors eighteen million dollars a month to operate an empty

21
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 5: facility in West Texas. Doge also claims Endeavors received its

22
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 5: HHS contract in twenty twenty one after a former ICE

23
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 5: employee and Biden transition team member joined the nonprofit Endeavors

24
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 5: government disclosure forms show its revenues shot up in twenty

25
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 5: twenty one from fifty million to six hundred and fifty

26
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 5: eight million.

27
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 6: That's the span.

28
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 7: As the span.

29
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 8: And when you see the people there in Tennessee, I

30
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 8: am fifty percent of their income to state, federal, and

31
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 8: local taxes through other you know, through everything else, fees

32
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 8: and everything else.

33
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: And then they see us sending.

34
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 8: Literally billions overseas to our enemies. You know, I've uncovered

35
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 8: forty million dollars going to the Taliban.

36
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 1: A guy named Sean Ryan.

37
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 8: Over Middle Tennessee, former Navy seal podcaster. He and another

38
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 8: guy named Legend had brought this to my attention. And

39
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 8: you know, last term I could not even get the

40
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 8: Democrats to bring it up in the Senate.

41
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 1: It passed you animus in the House.

42
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 8: Not even a question because they're going to have to

43
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 8: admit they made a mistake, and they continuously made a mistake,

44
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 8: and they did it on.

45
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 7: Purpose, is the worst part about it.

46
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 8: And this graph that you're seeing, and that's one hundred

47
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 8: percent what it is, I think you're going to see

48
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 8: a paper trail come back to Washington, d C. And

49
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 8: that's why I think a lot of people are nervous,

50
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 8: and you'll see a lot of retirements because they are

51
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 8: stealing from the American taxpayer. And now they've got their

52
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 8: handcott in the cookie jar, and all they can do

53
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 8: is attack.

54
00:02:55,480 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 1: Elon usk comicked story that the FBI had had subpoena

55
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: the phone records of Cash Bettel, who would go on

56
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: to be FBI director, which he is now, and this

57
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,959
Speaker 1: Wilds woman who is the campaign manager and now kind

58
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: of the operations director for Trump. And these are two

59
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: of Trump's top people. You can't really subpoena Trump's records

60
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: because he doesn't email, and he hasn't I don't know

61
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: if he ever emailed, but I read a pretty exhaustive

62
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 1: article on him years ago, and he decided that it

63
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: wasn't worth it to keep a pay per trail of

64
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: your communications, so you're not going to get one. So

65
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: they couldn't pull his records, although they did spy on

66
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:17,119
Speaker 1: him during twenty sixteen. But the point here is not Cash,

67
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 1: Betail or Wiles. The point here is Washington, d C.

68
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: Is so incredibly out of control, and it's not just

69
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: the Democrats. This is important to understand. It's not just

70
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: the Democrats that have you believe that you got to

71
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 1: keep the Republicans there because the Democrats are evil? That's

72
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: the Washington generals theory. We got to have somebody lose

73
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: to the globe trotters every day. It gives you the

74
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: false hope of a choice. And this is why the

75
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:06,719
Speaker 1: Republicans in DC have fought Trump so hard. This is

76
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:12,040
Speaker 1: why they have fought Trump tooth and nail because they're

77
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: not on board either, and chief among them has been Corning.

78
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: While Corning is fighting Trump saying he shouldn't run for reelection,

79
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: countries should move past him all the things he's done,

80
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 1: then it comes time. We only get at this shot

81
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 1: every six years. Corning's up for reelection. Early polls showed

82
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: Texans don't like him, about seventy five to eighty percent

83
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: of Texans. Republicans are saying they're going to vote for

84
00:05:49,760 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: somebody other than him. That's your wake up call. Does

85
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: the swamp say, well, people of Texas get to choose

86
00:05:56,200 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: who they send up here. No. A Republican leader in

87
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: the Senate, John Thune, has gone on the offensive, telling Politico,

88
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,480
Speaker 1: I don't think it's outside the realm of possibility that

89
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: the seat flips depending on who the Democrats nominate. The

90
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: National Republican Senate Committee is pushing this narrative that only

91
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 1: John Cornyan can win the general election. You mean, the

92
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 1: guy that no Republicans want. The only way we can

93
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: win is that we put up the guy that we

94
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: don't want. Yeah, that's right, Yeah, because because nobody else

95
00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: wants him, just all of you. But we're the only

96
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 1: ones that matter. We're Texas. Yeah, and you don't want him.

97
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: You don't want him, You don't want the you want him,

98
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: you really want him. You don't want the guy you want.

99
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: You want the guy we want. But why do you

100
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: want him so much?

101
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 5: So?

102
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,839
Speaker 1: After they spent almost one hundred million dollars telling you

103
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: John Cornyn's a good guy. He's up there. Trump couldn't

104
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,279
Speaker 1: do anything if it was for John Cornyn. Well that

105
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 1: didn't work. Twenty four years, no accomplishments, None of that worked.

106
00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: The donors are mad, they're burning money, they're losing in

107
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 1: the polls. They're desperate. So now what are they doing now?

108
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: They have turned from okay, if you won't believe us

109
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: that John Corny is a great guy and you really

110
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 1: really want him, now we don't want him. We don't

111
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: like him, but you really really want No, we don't

112
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: we get to choose not you. Okay, well let's see,

113
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: Well you got to have him. Why do we have

114
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: to have him? You don't have a choice. Why don't

115
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: we have a choice, because because if you don't elect

116
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: him the Democrats. Oh oh, that has worked for so long.

117
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: Don't ever criticize the Republicans because there's always the Democrats

118
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: out there, and then they all go to dinner together.

119
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,360
Speaker 1: By the way, the Democrats do the same thing, and

120
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,240
Speaker 1: then they all go to dinner together. Because it's all

121
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: one big racket to keep you thinking you have a choice.

122
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: As long as you have a choice, there won't be

123
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: a revolution once you realize they've rigged the whole process.

124
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: And so now we're getting only John Cornyn can win

125
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: in November. You won't vote for the guy that you're

126
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:19,320
Speaker 1: voting for now. You won't vote for the guy who's

127
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,480
Speaker 1: leading now in big numbers over you'll only vote for

128
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: our guy. And if you don't have our guy that

129
00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: we want that you don't want, then the Democrats will win.

130
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:33,839
Speaker 1: You know that desperation is so nasty. Born ninety four

131
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: years ago, on this day, Johnny cash, the Man in

132
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: Black sixteen years before that, the man who stole the

133
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,240
Speaker 1: show in Smoking to Bandit.

134
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 5: I had a couple of cheeseburgers, are going the best

135
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 5: sized team.

136
00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 8: I'm gonna tell you, mane and a half.

137
00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:11,080
Speaker 9: Let me have a darn go sandwich, but I'm making

138
00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 9: it fast.

139
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna worry. What a line, what a role, the

140
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,679
Speaker 1: whole history, the whole story behind you've never seen it,

141
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: of how of how Jackie Lison was brought into that

142
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: movie and Burt Reynolds begging him to do it, and

143
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: they didn't have any money left in the budget because

144
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: it all went to Burt Reynolds. And I think it

145
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: was Hal Needham who who directed that. That movie was

146
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: not meant to be anything special. That movie was just

147
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: the swop that they that Hollywood puts out, and it

148
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 1: ended up being a cult favorite. I'll tell you another

149
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: one that became a cult favorite, not nearly on that level.

150
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 1: But I here quoted a great number of times, and

151
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: this is one of those lines. Is this all right?

152
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:04,239
Speaker 1: She needs like a license or something to bury somebody.

153
00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 9: Ah, this is where Curly he'd want to be buried.

154
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 1: And he said he was a dying breed. I didn't

155
00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 1: know he meant on this trip. The man ain't vacant

156
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: at every meal. You can't do that.

157
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 3: Well, I guess that's it.

158
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: Wait, wait a minute, shouldn't somebody say something, I mean,

159
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:19,560
Speaker 1: you know, like the eulogy?

160
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, cookie, you know him best lord, we give

161
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 9: you curly try not to piss him off.

162
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: So the DC swat is desperate for you to send

163
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:38,520
Speaker 1: their boy back because they own him, they control him.

164
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 1: But how do they convince you because he's not serving

165
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 1: your interests and you've had enough, and you only get

166
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: a shot at this every six years, and this is

167
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:51,599
Speaker 1: the best shot. You've had, not one, but two opponents

168
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: with money with name id who can give him a

169
00:10:56,280 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: real run. And you don't get this one, you won't

170
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: get another one. And the way this works is if

171
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: everybody is worried, Well, if Cornyn doesn't win the nomination

172
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: for November, he doesn't win the party primary, then he's

173
00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,280
Speaker 1: going to trash Trump the rest of the year and

174
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: go rogue like Mitch McConnell. Well that's how you know

175
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: you shouldn't vote for him. Well, we don't want that,

176
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 1: to have it. Well, if you do elect him, he's

177
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: got no reason to act right for the next two

178
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 1: and a half years. So bite the bullet, you let

179
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: the bastard in. He shouldn't be in there now, And

180
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: the best they can do is running back here and

181
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 1: stand him out in front of the BUCkies. Because because

182
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: he's like you, he's just like you. John Wayne mccornan

183
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: is a regular guy, just like you.

184
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 7: He too loves trucks, big trucks, the biggest trucks. He

185
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 7: owns several. They're all very truck like. He's nuts for trucks.

186
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:08,439
Speaker 7: In fact, one of them's got golden testicles. Sometimes he

187
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 7: even drives one with his hands. And guns. He loves guns,

188
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 7: so many guns. He has a favorite gun and it's

189
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 7: very gunnish, shoots bullets, loud ones and dogs. Oh yeah.

190
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 7: John WAYN mccornan has a dog, an authentic dog. His

191
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 7: name is DJT and he barks at liberty and fetches

192
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,599
Speaker 7: the pursuit of happiness. Now, when he's not being a

193
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,079
Speaker 7: humble public servant in Washington for decades, you'll find him

194
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 7: at home enjoying a delicacy. His sweet mama used to

195
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 7: make the fried maloney sandwich slatthered in ketchup and fried

196
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 7: and a cash iron skillet until it curls up like

197
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 7: it's sitting by the fire reading a good book on

198
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 7: white bread, the way the Good Lord intended. Let me

199
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,960
Speaker 7: tell you about Trump. John Wayne mccornyn is a huge fan,

200
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 7: always has been since whenever it was strategically appropriate. He

201
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 7: loves the man tremendous, tremendously loves him, and he's always

202
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 7: consistently done. Depending on the clip you're watching, John Wayne

203
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 7: mccornyn is just a simple, everyday Texan who happens to

204
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 7: own cuff links worth more than your bass boat. He

205
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 7: puts his boots on one leg at the time after

206
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 7: his staff gently positions them because at the end of

207
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,599
Speaker 7: the day, he's not some out of touch Washington insider.

208
00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 7: He's just John John Wayne.

209
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,200
Speaker 1: What do you do with Paul? Out of people samping?

210
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:40,920
Speaker 7: Right now you're listening to the Michael Berryson.

211
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 1: I've been very focused for several years on taking control

212
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:57,080
Speaker 1: of aspects of my life. In whatever I do, I

213
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: tend to and I'm Malcolm Godwell sort of way share

214
00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: with other people whatever I've learned. I don't think I'm

215
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 1: necessarily an expert in any of it, but what I

216
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:07,719
Speaker 1: learned I will share with someone else and they can

217
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 1: take or leave it. So I became more mindful of

218
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:17,880
Speaker 1: what I eat and exercise and those sorts of things

219
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:22,600
Speaker 1: my health, and I became more mindful of my finances,

220
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: and I became more mindful of the business and our

221
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: financial situation and records and decision making. And so as

222
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: I did all that, and I began building a team

223
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,640
Speaker 1: of folks who would be show sponsors of our show

224
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:50,080
Speaker 1: but could help you in your life. And we sort

225
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: of have worked to build up this kind of like

226
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: a family office where every aspect of especially a business

227
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:03,440
Speaker 1: owner is taken care of, but an individual as well.

228
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: And so we did our dinner last night and it

229
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: was for wealth management and my CPA firm Duroche was there.

230
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: The wealth management was steeful a state planning with Christine Weaver,

231
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: and it was highlighting some reasons you want to plan ahead.

232
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: And Christine Weaver, who is our wills and a state

233
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: planning person, told a story because I had asked her

234
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,520
Speaker 1: just tell one, because she's got a thousand of these

235
00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: stories of people who don't think ahead about what's going

236
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: to happen when you die. And for many people, you know,

237
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,720
Speaker 1: I think most people think, well, i'll, uh, you know,

238
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,000
Speaker 1: when I get sick, I'll, you know, I'll do all

239
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,960
Speaker 1: those documents. I'm busy right now, a lot going on.

240
00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: You're always busy. So a guy, a man, and his

241
00:15:53,840 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: wife married and they have a home which they have

242
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: owned for twenty five years, and they've homesteaded it, so

243
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: it's their primary residence and it's community property. So she

244
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: owns half of it, and then surely when he dies,

245
00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:23,120
Speaker 1: she'll own the entirety of it. Well, this house had

246
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,160
Speaker 1: kind of built up some value over twenty five almost

247
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 1: thirty years, and so the husband dies intestate, as we say,

248
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: without a will, and she goes to sell the house

249
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: because she doesn't need this whole big house anymore and

250
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: she wants to take the cash out of it to

251
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: live her last few years. When she goes to sell

252
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: the house, it is discovered which she's assuming she'll get

253
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: one hundred percent of the proceeds, even though he doesn't

254
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 1: have a will, there's no one else in the estate.

255
00:16:55,720 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: They discover that he had a son who's now forty

256
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 1: five years old. They didn't see that coming. So now

257
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: she does not own one hundred percent of the proceeds

258
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:11,119
Speaker 1: of the house. She owns fifty percent of the proceeds.

259
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: Quite a difference. Now, if he'd had a will, he

260
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,920
Speaker 1: could have left everything to her and this would be

261
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 1: in five minutes. You could have solved this problem. But

262
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:25,080
Speaker 1: absent a will, you go back into the way these

263
00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:29,160
Speaker 1: things are handled if there is no will by the law,

264
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: and that is that he has an heir, and that

265
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:36,199
Speaker 1: air is his son. The wife doesn't even know that

266
00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 1: son existed. She never knew he had a son dangling

267
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:44,639
Speaker 1: out there all those years. So they reach out to

268
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,640
Speaker 1: the Sun to tell him, Hey, we've got an offer

269
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:49,879
Speaker 1: on this house. We're going to close. You're about to

270
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:52,439
Speaker 1: come into a windfall half the value of this home.

271
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 1: We just were going to need you to come down

272
00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: and sign on it, because now you're a half owner

273
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: of a home you didn't know existed. He never contributed

274
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,879
Speaker 1: a penny to but hey, that's the law, we understand.

275
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,640
Speaker 1: So they reach out to him to have him come

276
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,440
Speaker 1: and sign so they can close the house, close on

277
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: the deal, and he's going to get half the value.

278
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 1: And they find out that in between the dad dying

279
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:22,360
Speaker 1: and the month later when they reach him, the Sun dies. Well,

280
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,920
Speaker 1: what do we do now? Okay, so the wife has

281
00:18:25,960 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 1: lost her husband. They didn't have a simple will. They're

282
00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:34,160
Speaker 1: having to chase down a son the wife never knew

283
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:38,680
Speaker 1: existed from an earlier relationship, earlier marriage, many years ago.

284
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,680
Speaker 1: So the immediate thought is, okay, well, if the sun dies,

285
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:47,120
Speaker 1: money goes to the wife. Right, Well, the son has

286
00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: an estate. It didn't actually go to Your estate is

287
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 1: you and every tentacle that comes off of you? And

288
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: guess which tentacle came off of this son making up

289
00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,080
Speaker 1: the remainder of his estate. Married, he didn't have kids.

290
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:06,919
Speaker 1: He has a mom. Guess who that mom is? The

291
00:19:07,080 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 1: ex wife of the man who died that started this

292
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 1: whole chain of events. She hasn't seen her husband in

293
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:23,000
Speaker 1: forty years. She comes into half the value of the

294
00:19:23,080 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: house she signs off. She gets half the value of

295
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:30,119
Speaker 1: the house. He hated her, He hadn't spoken to her

296
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 1: in what four decades? He would have lost his mind

297
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 1: to know that the wife he loved he built this

298
00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,719
Speaker 1: house together with. They live in this house over all

299
00:19:43,720 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: these years. He dies and here comes the ex from

300
00:19:49,160 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 1: forty years ago to get half the value and take

301
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:59,919
Speaker 1: it from the woman he actually loves. One of the

302
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,360
Speaker 1: I didn't take wills and estates in law school. It's

303
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:08,479
Speaker 1: a course you take. Also didn't take bankruptcy, and but

304
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:13,320
Speaker 1: you it's a part of the bar exam. So after

305
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 1: you graduate law school you take an exam, which which

306
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 1: is you then get your bar card, your license to

307
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: practice law. And so I didn't take this, so I

308
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:28,080
Speaker 1: had to learn it during the summer before the exam,

309
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 1: without without the benefit of getting to take the class,

310
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 1: which would have given me an entire semester to learn

311
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:40,560
Speaker 1: all this. So I became quite interested in wills and

312
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,920
Speaker 1: estates and a state planning and what happens, and quite

313
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 1: fascinated in it. Because some of these things go back

314
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: to the old English law, some of them come through

315
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:55,000
Speaker 1: the French law. But the idea of how assets, whether

316
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,920
Speaker 1: it's cash or property, how it ends up absent a will.

317
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: I guess what the whole point of Christine's comments were.

318
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: All he needed was a will. When I die, everything

319
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: goes to my wife, and that would have resolved all

320
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 1: of this such a simple we have all your formal

321
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:18,479
Speaker 1: ware needs, from morning suits to coordinating accessories. I need

322
00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 1: to get a dramatic reading of the lyrics of this

323
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: song and have a care of the dawn. Do the

324
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 1: music underneath it, like William Shatner, wouldn't that be great?

325
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: East Bound and down loaded up and trucking. We gonna

326
00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: do what they say can't be done. We've got a

327
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:50,400
Speaker 1: long way to go in a short time to get there.

328
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 1: I'm eastbound. Just watch old bandit run. Keep your foot

329
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:06,440
Speaker 1: hard on the pedal, son, Never mind them breaks, let

330
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 1: it all hang out, because we've got a run to make.

331
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: The boys are thirsty in Atlanta, and there's beer in Texarkana,

332
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:25,199
Speaker 1: and we'll bring it back no matter what it takes.

333
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,320
Speaker 1: You know, every time I hear Bill Shatner, William Shatner

334
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: reading doing one of his songs, which is he does

335
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 1: this kind of spoken word. It starts as that's so stupid,

336
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: but I can't turn it off. I cannot turn it off.

337
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: And his cadence, his pacing, the ridiculousness. Have you ever

338
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:49,159
Speaker 1: heard Telly Savalas did a song? What was that? He

339
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: did the same exact thing, and I cannot get enough

340
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: of it. And there he is, and they made a

341
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: video of it. Before you made videos of such things.

342
00:23:00,440 --> 00:23:03,360
Speaker 1: He's holding a drink in one hand, cigarette in the other,

343
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: dripping with Jules. He's just he's Telly Savalis, I mean,

344
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 1: being Telly Savalas. That's what you do when you're Telly Savalis.

345
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 1: Just glorious, just absolutely glorious. On this day in history,

346
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: in twenty twelve, a seventeen year old young black man

347
00:23:30,160 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: was shot to death by a neighborhood watch coordinator in Sandford, Florida.

348
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: Remember this case, Do you remember the name of the

349
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:50,720
Speaker 1: young man, Trayvon Martin and the neighborhood watch coordinator, George Zimmerman.

350
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: And he could not help himself, could not help himself.

351
00:23:58,480 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: Barack Obama had to weighed in.

352
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 6: My main messages is to the parents of the Trayvon Martin.

353
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:09,320
Speaker 6: You know, if I had a son, he'd looked.

354
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:11,400
Speaker 1: Like Trayvon, And.

355
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:18,520
Speaker 6: Well, I think they are right to expect that all

356
00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:22,960
Speaker 6: of us as Americans, are going to take this with

357
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,400
Speaker 6: the seriousness it deserves, and that we're going to get

358
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:26,959
Speaker 6: to the bottom of exactly what happened.

359
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 1: There is often talk about Trump and dog whistles, quiet

360
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 1: messages to radical Christian nationalists. That's what they claim that

361
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 1: right there was a dog whistle, that right there was

362
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: a secret coded message. It was twenty twelve, Obama was

363
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 1: sitting on abysmal poll numbers and the group that had

364
00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 1: put him over the top in two thousand and eight,

365
00:24:55,800 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: blacks was not energized for Barack Obama. So the challenge

366
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: was how do I get Blacks fired up without scaring whitey.

367
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:15,120
Speaker 1: So that was the coded message to them. He had

368
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: no business speaking on an issue where a young punk,

369
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 1: and he was a young punk, was trying to kill

370
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: George Zimmerman, smashing his head on the back of the

371
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:33,080
Speaker 1: trying to curb stomp him. Tore the skin off of

372
00:25:33,160 --> 00:25:38,520
Speaker 1: the back of Zimmerman's head and Zimmerman had to shoot

373
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: and kill him to stop this raging punk from killing him,

374
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: which he was going to do. It's very clear the

375
00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,959
Speaker 1: president doesn't need to be involved in that. We got

376
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,680
Speaker 1: over three hundred bion people in this country. He does

377
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 1: not need to be involved in every little deal like that.

378
00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 1: He doesn't know anything about what's going on anyway. But

379
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: the coded message was, Hey, guys, I'm black too. Okay,

380
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 1: let's see, I'm glad you got a black guy in

381
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,360
Speaker 1: the White House. You want to keep it that way,

382
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 1: right when this stuff happens. You want to keep a

383
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:15,360
Speaker 1: black guy in the White House. Don't make me say it.

384
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:17,879
Speaker 1: It's about two months after the death of Trayvon Martin.

385
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 1: We got a call from a woman named Betsy, and
