Replace where 3 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 2: we went, the carry and the sense of joy. 4 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,280 Speaker 3: I know it's incredibly disappointing now, and look candidly, it's 5 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 3: it's a bit scary because there's a very different vision 6 00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 3: that's being put out there. 7 00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,320 Speaker 1: And tonight we're getting some new details about that Trump 8 00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:35,159 Speaker 1: Trudeau dinner from two people who were at the table. 9 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: We are told that when Trudeau told President elect Trump 10 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,240 Speaker 1: that new tariffs would kill the Canadian economy, Trump joked 11 00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: to him that if Canada can't survive without ripping off 12 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: the US to the tune of one hundred billion dollars 13 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: a year, then maybe Canada should become the fifty first 14 00:00:52,600 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: state and Trudeau could become It's got replace. 15 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,400 Speaker 2: We went the carrying and the sense of joy. 16 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 3: I know it's incredibly disappointing now and look candidly, it's 17 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 3: it's a bit scary because there's a very different vision, 18 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,479 Speaker 3: uh that's being put out there. 19 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 4: President Trump looked at at the Talle Band leader and 20 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 4: said this, I want to leave Afghanistan, but it's going 21 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 4: to be a conditions based withdrawal. And translator translated, and 22 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 4: he said, if you harm a hair on a single American, 23 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 4: I'm going to kill you. 24 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 2: And translator goes, and Trump goes. 25 00:01:54,560 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 5: Tell me, said, reached in his pocket, hold out a 26 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 5: satellite photo of the leader of the Talibance home. 27 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,640 Speaker 4: And handed it to shut up, got up and walked 28 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:14,239 Speaker 4: off and run. 29 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 6: One of the great frustrations for most people is to 30 00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 6: wake up around the time of the primary and realize 31 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 6: that the candidate you don't like and nobody seems to like, 32 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 6: doesn't have a challenger, or worse, that there's nobody running 33 00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 6: in a particular race, which of course is going to 34 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 6: mean that the Democrats are going to win that race. 35 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,679 Speaker 6: No matter how effective we are, the Democrats are going 36 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 6: to win that race because we don't even have a 37 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:07,400 Speaker 6: candidate in the race. That happened in the last election. 38 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 6: And I was very critical of the Harris County Republican 39 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 6: Party for that fact, and I have friends. It's nothing personal. 40 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:22,359 Speaker 6: It's hard for people to understand. Very little of it 41 00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 6: is personal. 42 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:23,680 Speaker 7: To me. 43 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 6: There are a few things that if someone makes it 44 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 6: personal or does something evil, But for ninety nine percent 45 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 6: of the people that I criticize, it's not that I 46 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 6: think you're a that I wish bad things for you. 47 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 6: I view it as my mission. You get enough applause. 48 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,040 Speaker 6: My job is to keep people honest. And I'll tell 49 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 6: you exactly the best analogy I can give. When my 50 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,720 Speaker 6: kids were younger, they would say, deck, can we do this? 51 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 6: I would say, no, I don't feel comfortable with that. 52 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 6: Everybody else is doing it. Well, everybody else has everybody 53 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 6: else's parents. You have me as a parent. And today 54 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 6: that might seem unfortunate for you. But if when everybody 55 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 6: else does what they do, like these kids at Memorial 56 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 6: High School that got into all this trouble with the 57 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:28,599 Speaker 6: Stratford High School kids, and they were driving through the 58 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:33,120 Speaker 6: neighborhood shooting up the neighborhood with paintball. They're being charged 59 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 6: as adults. They're seventeen. They're being charged as adults and 60 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,479 Speaker 6: with a felony case. I don't know that their parents 61 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:44,800 Speaker 6: knew or not, but I was rather strict with my 62 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 6: kids when they were younger. Could not drive to a party, 63 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 6: could not stay. They were the first ones that have 64 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,800 Speaker 6: to leave the party because at a certain point, sixteen seventeen, 65 00:04:55,880 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 6: eighteen year old kids, when a party drags for too long, 66 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 6: bad things are going to happen. 67 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 2: They can't help themselves. 68 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:13,240 Speaker 6: Young men, they've got testosterone, their frontal lobe is not developed. 69 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 6: They want to impress the girls. They want to do 70 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 6: something dramatic. They've heard their dad tell the stories, which 71 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 6: are usually exaggerations of the crazy things they did. Well, 72 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 6: we got to do crazy things. We're only boring guys. 73 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 6: Come on, let's do something crazy like my dad and 74 00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:33,880 Speaker 6: his friends did. Well, Now you get arrested and charged, 75 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 6: used to the cop take you home and deposit you 76 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 6: at the door, and your dadd whipped your button mo 77 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 6: one down the road, and you hopefully learn from it. 78 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 2: Not today, But I. 79 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 6: View our job here with this show in having to 80 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 6: criticize people that we often know as they should fear. 81 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 2: Their supporters. It's too easy. 82 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 6: And cynical to simply say we're not Democrats, vote for us. 83 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 6: That's why we supported Mitt Romney in twenty twelve when 84 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 6: he won the nomination. That's why we supported McCain in eight. 85 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 6: That's why we supported Bush and four in two thousand. 86 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 6: That's why we supported Bob Dole in ninety six or 87 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 6: George H. W. Bush in ninety two, because they weren't Democrats, 88 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 6: and we get a lot of that's that's Greg Abbott 89 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 6: because he's not a Democrat. Because by the time he 90 00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:42,119 Speaker 6: wins the primary, well, people aren't paying attention soon enough 91 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 6: to file for a primary, to build a campaign, to 92 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 6: raise the money for a primary. So it is now 93 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 6: the season and it's a tight window if you are 94 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 6: considering running for office. And by the way, there is 95 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 6: no shame to running and losing. It's not the end 96 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 6: of the world. You're not going to debtors prison, You're 97 00:07:06,440 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 6: not you know, it's not an African nation where if 98 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,800 Speaker 6: your tribe loses, you're going to be tortured. There is 99 00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 6: no downside to running and losing. So if you've thought 100 00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 6: about doing it, pick a seat where you live and. 101 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 2: Run and if you don't win, that's okay. 102 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 6: Because if our Republicans are not constantly parented because we're 103 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 6: their boss, never forget that. It bothers me when people, 104 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 6: and you see a lot of people do this. They 105 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 6: they want to treat elected officials like they're some celebrity, 106 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 6: like there's some god. They think that's what you're supposed 107 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 6: to do. You know, he's up there, he's on the pedestal. 108 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 6: We're supposed to show him all this respect. That is 109 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 6: not true. The term public servant was used for a reason. 110 00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 6: The servant of you. The people, they are lower than you, 111 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 6: not above you. And when you keep that in mind, 112 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 6: it makes all the difference. I got word that the 113 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 6: Harris County Republican Party still has well over ten judicial 114 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 6: candidates seats that are that are not filled. Sidney siegeld 115 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 6: Or party chairman, and she said, they said we why 116 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 6: don't you talk to Michael Berry And she said, no, he. 117 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 2: Bashes me on the air. 118 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 6: I'm gonna bash you real bad if you don't fill 119 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:34,079 Speaker 6: every seat and tell you that right now. Watching them 120 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 6: music documentary this weekend and said this song was the 121 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 6: first song to be number one on all three major 122 00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 6: US charts at the same time. 123 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 2: That surprised me. It's a good song. I wouldn't put 124 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 2: it this, but I guess it just had a moment. 125 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:56,560 Speaker 6: That's Paul Simon's son, you know that, right, Yeah, Paul 126 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:57,200 Speaker 6: Simon Son. 127 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:01,840 Speaker 2: Seven one three nine nine one thousand. That's our number. 128 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 2: That's our number. 129 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:04,960 Speaker 6: If you ever want to call this show and teleramone anything, 130 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,720 Speaker 6: seven one three nine nine one thousand. 131 00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:13,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's crazy. That's Paul Simon's son, crazy Paul Simon 132 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 2: Son seven one three none none, one thousand. You have 133 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 2: that audio. So I don't know who this woman is, but. 134 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 6: People will send me videos sometimes, and somebody sent me 135 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 6: this one and said, this happened between my daughter and me, 136 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 6: and he and his daughter had split. They didn't talk anymore, 137 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 6: and it well, let's play the audio, go ahead. 138 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,440 Speaker 8: I allowed politics to ruin the relationship I had with 139 00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 8: my mother. 140 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:40,560 Speaker 2: That's right. 141 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 8: For three years when I was a diehard liberal, I 142 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 8: was wearing the pink hat, I was marching against Donald Trump. 143 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:47,560 Speaker 8: I was doing all the things. I was listening to 144 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,880 Speaker 8: CNN every single day. And part of the program that 145 00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 8: CNN offers is telling you that people who don't think 146 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:56,000 Speaker 8: like you are bad people, they're racist people, they should 147 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 8: all die. That is part of the program and it 148 00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,600 Speaker 8: is intentional so that it ca this all divided. And 149 00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 8: during that time, my mom was conservative and I was liberal, 150 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:09,040 Speaker 8: and I literally put my mom our relationship. I put 151 00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 8: that below my allegiance to this ideology. And it wasn't 152 00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,000 Speaker 8: until I turned the media off that I realized it 153 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 8: was totally a program. 154 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 2: And that's what's happening right now. 155 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,360 Speaker 8: They are programming us to believe that if you're on 156 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 8: this side, you can't get along with people on that side, 157 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 8: and it is total. The government is the same side. 158 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:32,520 Speaker 8: It's the same wealthy technocrats that are taking over society. 159 00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 8: So we all need to start getting along so that 160 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:35,079 Speaker 8: we can be free. 161 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:35,439 Speaker 2: Okay. 162 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 6: What's interesting is in that sense it mirrors a cult, 163 00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 6: and in that way it is a cult. The first 164 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 6: thing cults do in recruiting their members, once the brainwashing begins, 165 00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:02,080 Speaker 6: pretty early on, they have to distance their victim from 166 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 6: their family, from their support network. And it is only 167 00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 6: by distancing that person that they can take complete control 168 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 6: of the person. Because whoever you are, wherever you are, 169 00:11:16,120 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 6: at whatever stage in your life, you have a support network. 170 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 6: You have a family and friends to which you belong. 171 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 6: You are interconnected with relationships and place and connection and belonging, 172 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:36,480 Speaker 6: and so when you add a new relationship to that, 173 00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 6: you are threatening to affect the rest of your network. 174 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 6: And so the first thing the cult has to do, 175 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,320 Speaker 6: even before the brainwashing is complete, is to turn you 176 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:58,720 Speaker 6: against your family. It's why so many cults will recruit, 177 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:03,680 Speaker 6: especially of women, will recruit women who are runaways because 178 00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 6: they can play on the resentment toward the family you 179 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 6: have left. They abandon you, they're bad people, and so 180 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 6: that becomes the connection is we hate your family, and 181 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 6: you hate your family. The Democrat Party does this. They 182 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 6: do it. It's textbook what they do. It's also what 183 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 6: they do to the church. The church and government as 184 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:43,600 Speaker 6: religion cannot coexist because the church becomes competition for government 185 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:52,439 Speaker 6: as religion. We are raised in this country to believe 186 00:12:53,600 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 6: that certain things are truly evil Hitler for instance, and 187 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:07,400 Speaker 6: racism for instance, and we all buy into that, and 188 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,600 Speaker 6: so it becomes a shared value that we all agree 189 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 6: these things are bad. So what the Democrats do is 190 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 6: they already have you half the way there. Racism is bad, 191 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:30,319 Speaker 6: Hitler is bad. If they can just turn that and 192 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:36,960 Speaker 6: make us racist and Hitler, they don't have to make 193 00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 6: them hate us. They already hate those things, so they 194 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:48,440 Speaker 6: make us those things. And once we become those things, 195 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 6: the depth of hatred is more than you would feel 196 00:13:55,559 --> 00:13:59,920 Speaker 6: towards someone otherwise. But when you already have a resume 197 00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 6: of hatred, you know when when when people imagine you 198 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 6: know that there's a there's a kind of an urban 199 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 6: myth game sort of thing the way you'd have seances 200 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 6: when we were a kid, and the game for young 201 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:19,720 Speaker 6: people is would you kill baby Jesus? And so the 202 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:24,200 Speaker 6: paradigm is, uh, here is this precious baby, because a 203 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 6: baby is precious, but it's going to grow up to 204 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,960 Speaker 6: be Hitler, and you're supposed to come to the conclusion that, yes, 205 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 6: I would murder that baby to avoid what Hitler did 206 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:40,680 Speaker 6: to the world. Well, when when this is kind of 207 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 6: the mindset you have developed, Hitler evil racism evil if 208 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 6: you can convince somebody that another person or group is racist, 209 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:58,080 Speaker 6: and therefore Hitler, your work is done. And that's the 210 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:00,400 Speaker 6: part that really breaks my heart. That's it's a part 211 00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 6: that makes me truly sad. I see people who have 212 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 6: been who have alienated themselves, estranged from their own family, 213 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 6: the people who love them, breaking the hearts of their 214 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 6: parents and grandparents and siblings, all because in their mind 215 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:27,000 Speaker 6: they're doing a noble thing, because those people are racist Hitlers. 216 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 6: And that's they've been taught that very effectively. It's programming, 217 00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:39,240 Speaker 6: it's propaganda, it's it's not sea level mind control. And 218 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 6: and so they're not starting from scratch, they're starting from 219 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,400 Speaker 6: this person believes these things are evil because that's what 220 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 6: we're all taught to believe. But once you get that, 221 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 6: now you apply that tag. It's a classic, classic case. 222 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:01,280 Speaker 6: That's how hate crimes, hate crime legislation in state of 223 00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 6: Texas started. Rodney Ellis, believe it or not, in the 224 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:08,840 Speaker 6: Senate pushed this thing. And so you know when bird 225 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 6: was was dragged through the streets of Jasper, that was awful. 226 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 6: That was horrible. That's a hate crime. So now we're 227 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 6: going to create hate crime. Now all they have to 228 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 6: do is whatever you do, that's a hate crime. Well, 229 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 6: we all agreed that hate crimes are bad. Now that 230 00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,040 Speaker 6: that which you did, not hiring that guy, that's really 231 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:26,600 Speaker 6: really bad. 232 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 2: Is there a woman's vocal in there. I can't hear 233 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 2: it very well. 234 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 9: Cigarette he's got Maybe it's not this, maybe it's uh, 235 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 9: it's kind of version with this woman. 236 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 6: I don't think it's Shaney Fricky, but it's somebody of 237 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:53,920 Speaker 6: that era, like a Dotty West era, Shelley Webb. I 238 00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,520 Speaker 6: can't remember who it is. Somebody will know it and 239 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 6: email me. But she's saying the most beautiful, beautiful harmony 240 00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:08,359 Speaker 6: with him in this duet. 241 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,359 Speaker 2: No, it's not really knows it is. 242 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:16,800 Speaker 6: Uh man, I can't remember who it is, but if 243 00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:18,399 Speaker 6: I can think of this, I don't think it's misery 244 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,080 Speaker 6: and gen anyway, it's another song. 245 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 2: It's more of a true love song. And uh you 246 00:17:24,320 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 2: know he. 247 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,600 Speaker 6: He did do He did a number of duets, including 248 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:32,159 Speaker 6: with Ray Charles that it's just amazing. But there is 249 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:33,760 Speaker 6: a duet with a woman. And I can't think of 250 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 6: who it is. But when you hear it and you 251 00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:40,479 Speaker 6: hear her singing, you it just it's a song you've 252 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 6: heard one hundred times. You might have heard this version 253 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 6: one hundred times and never paid attention to her. But 254 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 6: once you do, you can't. You can't listen, You can't 255 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,320 Speaker 6: pay attention to him anymore. You notice her in the background. 256 00:17:50,440 --> 00:17:53,400 Speaker 6: Somebody will know it and tell me. I just cannot 257 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 6: think of who in the heck it. 258 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:58,920 Speaker 2: A place to fall apart? That might be it letters 259 00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 2: who's that with? That is Jenny Frecky? Okay, let's hear it. 260 00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:06,240 Speaker 7: Right. 261 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:07,600 Speaker 2: Maybe it is Jenny Fricky. 262 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,639 Speaker 6: I don't know why I remember it being Jenny Fricky, 263 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:14,879 Speaker 6: but may not be Jenny Fricky. I can't remember exactly, 264 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,800 Speaker 6: but once I hear it it's like love lifts us 265 00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:18,760 Speaker 6: up where we belong. 266 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,000 Speaker 2: But that's not the song. That's obviously not his song. 267 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,679 Speaker 2: A friend of mine wrote during the. 268 00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 6: Marcus Latrell conversation, I'll hear stories about people doing things 269 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 6: that I would like to accomplish, and I think, if 270 00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 6: that guy can do it, I can surely do it. 271 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 2: But a forty day fast sounds interesting. Maybe I'll try. 272 00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:42,000 Speaker 6: Wait, the guy who did it's a Navy seal who 273 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:43,960 Speaker 6: crawled out of a war zone, his back broken and 274 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 6: body full of bullets. Pretty sure he's got a gear 275 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,639 Speaker 6: that I don't. Maybe I'll sit this one out. I 276 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:54,680 Speaker 6: think that's kind of the I'm surprised I didn't get 277 00:18:54,720 --> 00:19:00,840 Speaker 6: more of the of the the any emails. 278 00:19:00,960 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 2: You can't do that, you'll die. If he did that, 279 00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:04,560 Speaker 2: he died, he's dead. 280 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 6: Well technically he's died before, so maybe he died every 281 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,120 Speaker 6: day with this as well. Oh you know what else 282 00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,520 Speaker 6: he told me? He's told me something after we got off, 283 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:18,960 Speaker 6: he said, I fear He said, Oh, I forgot to 284 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 6: tell you. My blood pressure used to be one to 285 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:26,119 Speaker 6: ninety over one oh eight regularly, and with med's one 286 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,880 Speaker 6: eighty five over ninety, it's now one ten over sixty four. 287 00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 6: How about that, Ramond? That's pretty solid. Mama Martha called 288 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 6: up here and asked her baby boy Ramone. 289 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:43,120 Speaker 2: She said, is Michael sentimental today or does he have allergies? 290 00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:47,000 Speaker 2: He said, I don't know. I'll ask him. I have allergies. 291 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,320 Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on. It just it just 292 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:49,440 Speaker 2: started this morning. I didn't have it. 293 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 6: I don't know what's going on. But anyway, there must 294 00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 6: be something dropping right now? Do I need to take that. 295 00:19:57,760 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 7: Rick? 296 00:19:58,040 --> 00:19:59,439 Speaker 2: You're on Michael Berry Show? What say you? 297 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: Sorry? 298 00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:04,160 Speaker 7: Okay? In the last couple of years, in the judicial benches, 299 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:09,000 Speaker 7: we've had empty benches that the Democrats won by default. 300 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 7: One of them was a beautician. On the day of 301 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 7: the election, judge, some of them used to said, I 302 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 7: don't need to. 303 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 2: Know the law. 304 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 7: I got two lawyers there who will tell me what 305 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,879 Speaker 7: it is. I sent a lawyer over who's highly qualified 306 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 7: to who he wanted to run for judges the Republican. 307 00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 7: By the time he had cleared it with his bosses 308 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:34,879 Speaker 7: and everything. By the time he got through being interviewed, 309 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,439 Speaker 7: he decided not to run. Uh, the people in charge, 310 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,159 Speaker 7: they wouldn't just nominate anyone They want people who were 311 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 7: qualified now unlike beauticians. So as a result, right now 312 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,280 Speaker 7: we have four or five family court benches that are open, 313 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:57,480 Speaker 7: and people family court practitioners don't want to run because 314 00:20:57,520 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 7: they're they're worried about the blowback. It's a small nish practice. 315 00:21:02,040 --> 00:21:05,240 Speaker 7: The Democrats would have gone to the criminal courts and 316 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,879 Speaker 7: founded a lawyer who doesn't practice them, doesn't give up 317 00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:12,160 Speaker 7: flip and they would have filled that slot. But no, 318 00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,119 Speaker 7: we need people who are qualified. And they went out 319 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:16,920 Speaker 7: and they hired a couple of years ago, they hired 320 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:20,840 Speaker 7: a guy to the outreached chairman. Well they got hired 321 00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,440 Speaker 7: him from California. Now they've replaced him with a woman 322 00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:29,639 Speaker 7: from Dallas. She didn't even know who LBJ was. After 323 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:34,480 Speaker 7: a year that outreached chairman didn't know what TSU and 324 00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:40,040 Speaker 7: Prairie View were. And they won't go to African American 325 00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,040 Speaker 7: News and Issues Roy Malossaw and visit with him. They 326 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,760 Speaker 7: won't go to Houston forward time and go on Jeffrey 327 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:53,560 Speaker 7: Boney's radio show. But yet last time Mike Langram lost 328 00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:59,439 Speaker 7: his election by five hundred votes.

Mercy 403 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:38,439 Speaker 6: maybe it's compassion, mercy It think it's mercy. Mercy to 404 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:43,160 Speaker 6: the criminal is to mercy to the guilty is cruelty 405 00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 6: to the victim. You know, I sometimes think to myself 406 00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 6: when you see these cases, well, let's take the case 407 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 6: of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman. Imagine their family. 408 00:26:56,000 --> 00:27:00,720 Speaker 6: I just remember seeing Ron Goldman's dad with those goofy 409 00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:03,800 Speaker 6: ass glasses he wore every day and that kind of 410 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 6: roleigh fingers inspired mustache, and the dude just looked goofy. 411 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:11,880 Speaker 6: And I would watch him in the courtroom every day, 412 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 6: and the anguish on this man's face. It just tore 413 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:22,240 Speaker 6: my heart out because here was a whole nation talking 414 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,360 Speaker 6: about everything but the fact that his son was murdered, 415 00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 6: gutted hallal style like a butcher would a goat, and 416 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 6: for nothing. For nothing, the man did nothing wrong, He 417 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 6: was a victim, and nobody cared. Nobody cared. And my 418 00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:48,719 Speaker 6: prayer has always been that these evil people, somehow they 419 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 6: would be a force directing them, and that force would 420 00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:57,400 Speaker 6: send them to the homes of these elected officials, judges 421 00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:00,639 Speaker 6: and politicians who insist on putting them back out on 422 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:04,960 Speaker 6: the street, and that they and their families. And I 423 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,959 Speaker 6: say that only because if there's going to be a victim, 424 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 6: I would want that victim to be someone in the family, 425 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:18,359 Speaker 6: or preferably the person who causes that, because I have 426 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 6: noticed how many latter day conversions we have had of 427 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 6: Democrats over the last few years.
