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 Very Show is on the air.

3
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 2: Baseball legend Pete Rose has passed away. Rose was one

4
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 2: of the greatest hitters in baseball history and holds a

5
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball record for all time hits. But Pete

6
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:26,720
Speaker 2: Rose never made it into the Baseball Hall of Fame

7
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 2: because he was banned for life for betting on games

8
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 2: while manager of the Cincinnati Reds. Rose later admitted to

9
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,600
Speaker 2: betting on his own team's games, but said he never

10
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:38,879
Speaker 2: threw a game and never bet against his own team.

11
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 2: Rose played in the majors for twenty four years. Pete

12
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,480
Speaker 2: Rose was eighty three years old.

13
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 3: And here comes the main't attraction and they're on their feet.

14
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 4: Rose walking toward the play, the most famous number fourteen

15
00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 4: in a history of this game, and trying to make

16
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,440
Speaker 4: history right here in the first inning tonight. About a

17
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 4: couple of times shall kicks an he fires Rose, Wayne

Speaker 5: single in the left center field, a clean base enter.

21
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 5: That is pantemonium. I'm here in River Prints Stadium, the

22
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 5: fireworks exploding over her head. That such an empty dugout

23
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 5: has emptied. The applause continues Unabata Rose completely encircled by

24
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 5: his teammates at first base.

25
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 4: Joe White an emotional scene here at the ballpark.

26
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 3: I want to be a base bows.

27
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 6: With Muffis.

28
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 7: You own the baseball card. I wont to be the

29
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 7: guy that wins the game and gives the round him

30
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 7: out my name. I won't to stand and watch the

31
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 7: bowl sail across.

32
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 8: The longshoreman strike shutting down all these ports, first time

33
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 8: the union has been on strike since nineteen seventy seven.

34
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 8: This is one of those things that nobody was paying

35
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 8: attention to. Myself included why would we It's not natural

36
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 8: to wake up and go hope the longshoremen show up

37
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 8: to work today, and then all of a sudden, everything's

38
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 8: going to change, and it's the only thing anybody's gonna

39
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 8: be able to talk about. Women are going to talk

40
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 8: about the product that they ordered, that they rely on.

41
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 8: Whatever that could be beauty, health, medical, sanitary, all sorts

42
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 8: of things that women and Tim Waltz rely On'm not

43
00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 8: gonna be able to get not the first day. It'll

44
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 8: take a little while because many things are stocked, but

45
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:14,119
Speaker 8: it will also set off a panic which will exhaust

46
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 8: the reserves overnight. There are economists have an entire set,

47
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 8: an entire vocabulary to describe this type of behavior because

48
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 8: what this becomes a disruption in the supply chain that

49
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 8: is accelerated because people, in anticipation of what's going to happen,

50
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 8: they now behave in irrational ways, but they're rational to

51
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 8: that person. Everyone sprinting out of a crowded movie theater

52
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 8: when smoke starts rising is irrational in that you're going

53
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 8: to get people hurt, but it is rational to that

54
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:01,120
Speaker 8: person at that moment to flee as fast as he can.

55
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 8: The problem is everyone acting in their own best interest

56
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 8: can sometimes or what seems to be their own best interest,

57
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 8: can sometimes not lead to the greater good. It would

58
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,200
Speaker 8: be better if everyone would agree to slow down. Since

59
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 8: we're on the subject, and since I've been spending some

60
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 8: windshield time of late, which I thoroughly enjoy.

61
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 3: It's good from AVP.

62
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 8: If you're that guy on two ninety as we're heading

63
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 8: up there and going into I guess that's going into Brenham.

64
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 8: If you're that guy when it's clear from a mile

65
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 8: before that we're narrowing down to one lane and that

66
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,880
Speaker 8: lane is on the left, and you can see the

67
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 8: cones up there in a curved pattern, a V pattern,

68
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 8: to push everybody into the left lane. If you are

69
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 8: that guy, that is that moves into the right lane

70
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 8: and guns it all the way up to the front

71
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 8: in hopes that there'll be an eighteen wheeler because they

72
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 8: can't close the gap fast enough, or some weak woman

73
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 8: that'll let you in. If you're that guy, I hope

74
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 8: you get gout or the piles, or both both. I

75
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 8: hope you get the piles. And while you cannot touch

76
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 8: your bum to the bed from the pile, so you

77
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 8: have to sleep on your stomach, I hope that your

78
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,679
Speaker 8: gout is so bad that you can't touch your big

79
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 8: toe to the bed. But now that you're over on

80
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 8: your stomach and your big toe is excruciatingly painful. If

81
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 8: you've never had gout, you can't appreciate this. I hope

82
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 8: that that's so bad that you need your wife to

83
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 8: put a pillow under your shin to elevate your foot

84
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 8: high enough that it doesn't touch the bed. But if

85
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 8: you ever so much as moved, you're going to accidentally

86
00:05:58,400 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 8: push your toe.

87
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 3: Ah, and that's gonna hurt.

88
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 8: But I hope that if you are that guy, that

89
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,119
Speaker 8: your sixth wife divorces you so you have no one

90
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:13,240
Speaker 8: to put a pillow under your leg and hold it

91
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 8: up high enough. No worse, I hope you don't have

92
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 8: any pillows. I hope you don't have any pillows. You know, ramon,

93
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 8: pillow is one of those words that you would really

94
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 8: rather nobody ever say, because so many are going to

95
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,479
Speaker 8: get it wrong. And milk. I can't understand why people

96
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:39,279
Speaker 8: cannot say that word right. That is a word that

97
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 8: people and I can't. I can't just abide them getting

98
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 8: it wrong. It really gets on my anyway. So you

99
00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 8: got this, you got this strike that portends to shut

100
00:06:54,680 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 8: the country down, and the Commerce secretary, who's this If

101
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,359
Speaker 8: ever there was a job for the Commerce secretary? This

102
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 8: is it has no idea not paying attention to it.

103
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 3: Fox News.

104
00:07:07,960 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 9: Nearly fifty thousand unionized dock workers from Maine to Texas

105
00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 9: began walking off the job at midnight, just as their

106
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 9: contract with the ports expired. So Port employers, represented by

107
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 9: the US Maritime Alliance said they proposed a nearly fifty

108
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 9: percent wage increase to the International Longshoreman's Association in addition

109
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 9: to improvements to healthcare and retirement plans. But it was rejected,

110
00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 9: and the union president says it isn't enough.

111
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 10: The office that we had, it didn't work out there.

112
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 3: And I just told them so long, goodbye. I'm go

113
00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 3: with my members.

114
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,400
Speaker 10: We're always willing to sit down when the right numbers hit.

115
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 3: They know what the number is.

116
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 9: DOC workers are also striking over fears that automation could

117
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 9: be taking their jobs away. There demanding a total ban

118
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 9: on automated cranes, gates, and container moving trucks used for freight.

119
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 6: We are in negotiations jail for about fair contract, fair

120
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:07,320
Speaker 6: contract in a contract not filled with the automation, and

121
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,360
Speaker 6: women wouldn't been in any machine around anyway.

122
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 9: The ports shutting down are responsible for about half of

123
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 9: all US imports and billions of dollars in trade per month.

124
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 9: The JP Morgan analysis predicts this strike could cost the

125
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 9: economy more than five billion dollars per day, but President

126
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,239
Speaker 9: Biden says he does not plan to intervene in this strike,

127
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 9: and his Commerce secretary doesn't seem too concerned.

128
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 3: Listen, where are the issues most prominent?

129
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 8: Where have you been kind of focused?

130
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 5: In hearing on what would happen if the strike goes

131
00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 5: let's say longer than a week.

132
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 9: Again, I have not been.

133
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 3: Very focused on that.

134
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,960
Speaker 9: Okay, Well, New Jersey's sport director told Fox Business that

135
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 9: six ships have already anchored offshore after failing to make

136
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 9: it into the port before it shut down, and that

137
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 9: number guys is expected to reach thirty five if this strike.

138
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:02,240
Speaker 3: That they were four years ago.

139
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: Michael Barry so I was raised as a middle class KIDLFG.

140
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 8: Today, the Astros play the Detroit Tigers in the playoff

141
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 8: wild Card Series and Jordan is in the lineup.

142
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 3: I didn't pronounce it overly. Mexican. It's not Jordon. It's Jordan.

143
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 3: If you're friends with him, it's Jordan. For you, it's Jordon.

144
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:47,240
Speaker 3: Jordan is Jordone really is Jordan for Mexican's He's not

145
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 3: Mexican's Cuban. Same thing.

146
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 8: That's one of my favorite jokes, actually to refer to

147
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 8: somebody from a Latin American country as Mexican, and then

148
00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:59,959
Speaker 8: when someone corrects you to say same thing.

149
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 3: You know what's funny.

150
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 8: The people from countries other than Mexico never find that

151
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 8: as funny as.

152
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,840
Speaker 3: I feel like they should. That's too bad.

153
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 8: Really, I enjoy good redneck humor. Why do other people?

154
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 8: You know, when you're that worried about being offended? See

155
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 8: days like today or where the designated hitter is perfect.

156
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:26,400
Speaker 8: He got a Kirk Gibson enemy walking up Burri like

157
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 8: your back's all busted up. You can't even you ever

158
00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 8: seen the documentary on Kurk Gibson walking up there to bat?

159
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 8: He can't. He shouldn't even be at the stadium. He

160
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 8: should be on the operating table. And he comes out

161
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 8: there and he's getting his hands ready and he rubbing

162
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 8: a dirt on and getting his bat and lo and behold,

163
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 8: what does he do but launch a golf shot in it?

164
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 8: And then and you can see him when he's tugging

165
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,240
Speaker 8: to give to pump his fist. You can see even

166
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,920
Speaker 8: doing that is aching. But the adrenaline is just coursing

167
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 8: through his body. So your don is playing today and

168
00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 8: he will be batting second in the lineup.

169
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 3: What a lone can you imagine? Al tuove than you're done.

170
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:18,520
Speaker 8: I gotta tell you, I know it's gonna make people mad,

171
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 8: and I'm okay with that because it's the truth. And

172
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 8: you should know that I'm being honest with you. I

173
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 8: want the Astros to win, no questions asked. I want

174
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 8: the Astros to win. But I have nothing but respect

175
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 8: for aj Hinch and I don't care if that makes

176
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 8: you mad or not. I know it's gonna make people

177
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 8: mad because I've said it before and people get mad.

178
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 8: Aj Hinch is not the villain here. Aj Hinch is

179
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 8: not a bad man. Aj Hinch is a aj Hinch

180
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 8: knows baseball, and he knows more about baseball than almost

181
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 8: anybody you're ever gonna meet.

182
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:03,000
Speaker 3: And what was the other guy's name, Jeff what? Luna? Yeah,

183
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 3: Luno Luno or Luna Luna lu. I can't remember how

184
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 3: it's pronounced. But you know where he ended up.

185
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 8: He's working for Dan Friedkin and they have bought a

186
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 8: soccer team, a European soccer team. That guy you talk about,

187
00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 8: very few people have the processor. Very few people are

188
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 8: walking around with a computer on top of their shoulders

189
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 8: with the processing capability that that guy has. There's intel

190
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:37,679
Speaker 8: inside that right there. On a big level, when you

191
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,080
Speaker 8: can transition from baseball to soccer, it really doesn't matter

192
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 8: because you are in a billy bean way looking at

193
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 8: the game on a whole different dimension that most people

194
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,400
Speaker 8: will never understand and they're going to question it. I'll

195
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:57,400
Speaker 8: never forget. I will never forget. Jimmy Johnson comes in

196
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 8: and he's made the ty of herschel Walker to the

197
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 8: Minnesota Vikings, and he has to stand before the press

198
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 8: and answer the questions. There's a documentary on this. I

199
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 8: think it's thirty for thirty. Watch it because you'll be

200
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 8: amazed how.

201
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:20,800
Speaker 3: He was trashed for that.

202
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:25,040
Speaker 8: And he could have simply said, a hw bunch of

203
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 8: idiots for every player I sent there that they cut,

204
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 8: I mean sorry for every player I got. On the

205
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 8: seven players, you're saying you got a bunch of scrubs

206
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:40,600
Speaker 8: in exchange for herschel Walker. That's what I wanted, scrubs

207
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:43,840
Speaker 8: so I can cut them because for everyone I cut,

208
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 8: I get a first round draft pick. Herschel Walker ain't

209
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,960
Speaker 8: worth seven first round draft picks, and that's what I

210
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 8: just got. But I can't tell you all that because

211
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 8: I'm playing my cards. So I'm just going to hold tight,

212
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 8: and in a couple of years this team will have

213
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,720
Speaker 8: been turned around and you won't believe what just happened.

214
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 8: But for now, yeah, yeah, for now. Sports writer who

215
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 8: knows nothing. Cannot understand the dimension I'm operating on. Tell

216
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 8: every right to everybody, what an idiot I am. That's

217
00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 8: Richard Justice a few years ago telling the with the

218
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 8: Tombstone article. That's Richard Justice pooh pooing the Astros that

219
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 8: it's the end of their season and they go on

220
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 8: to win the World Series. Richard Justice is one of

221
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 8: those far left liberal sports reporters who thinks he's something

222
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 8: special and wants the Kamala Harris Is to win him.

223
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 3: I'm not a fan. What's that.

224
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 8: They got to the world That's not the year they

225
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 8: want it, Okay, mister know it all?

226
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 3: Oh, they got swept by the White Sox. Well, how

227
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,760
Speaker 3: did the White Sox do this year? Let me check.

228
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 3: Let's see.

229
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 8: According to Chad Nakanishi, the White Sox had the second

230
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 8: worst record of all time forty one wins one hundred

231
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 8: and twenty one losses, the most losses by any team

232
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 8: in the modern era. The only team that ever had

233
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 8: more losses in a season was eighteen ninety nine's Cleveland Spiders.

234
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,000
Speaker 8: The White Sox owner penned a letter to the fans

235
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 8: saying this season's performance was completely unacceptable and the varying

236
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:29,640
Speaker 8: reactions and emotions from our fan base are completely understandable. Well,

237
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:34,200
Speaker 8: thank you for validating the fact that we can be

238
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 8: angry at how bad your team is.

239
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 3: We really appreciate that.

240
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 8: Let's go to Jeff on the black line.

241
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 11: You know you really are working those names.

242
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,000
Speaker 3: I heard you which one.

243
00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 6: But.

244
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:57,720
Speaker 11: That's the Spanish names. But I agree with you. I

245
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 11: laugh because you know you're giving it your best shot

246
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 11: when you do that. But listen what I called about

247
00:16:04,720 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 11: real quick, because you're going to have to open up

248
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 11: the discussion on this long shoreman thing.

249
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 3: Okay.

250
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:15,280
Speaker 11: As a truck driver, Michael, I understand, and you know

251
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 11: it already got automated trucks. And yet when I had

252
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 11: the restaurant, I didn't want a union because I didn't

253
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 11: want my employees telling me how much I had to

254
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 11: pay them, and they didn't know whether or not I

255
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 11: had that kind of money in the budget, and so

256
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 11: forth and so on. So I've been on both sides

257
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 11: of it. But I'm like your brother, your deally departed

258
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 11: love brother. I love what I'm doing. I really do.

259
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:52,400
Speaker 11: I'm sixty eight, Michael, and this is how I see

260
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 11: myself wrapping it up. God willing. I want to go

261
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 11: out of here. I love being outside. I love what

262
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:02,520
Speaker 11: I'm doing of how I do it. But I am

263
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 11: concerned the illegal immigrants. I know Walgreens would love and

264
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 11: I don't mean to put them on the spot, but

265
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 11: any trucking company, I know they would love to pay

266
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 11: somebody a whole lot less money than they're paying me.

267
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:15,960
Speaker 3: How much do they pay?

268
00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 11: You can do what I do right? At thirty dollars

269
00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 11: an hour?

270
00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 3: Do you get? Timing?

271
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 11: Everything? Over eight hours every day, every every day of

272
00:17:25,880 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 11: eight hours time and a half double time? If I

273
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 11: work over five days, you know, if I get into

274
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 11: that sixth day, everything is double time. So it's a

275
00:17:36,160 --> 00:17:40,840
Speaker 11: six figure job, and I love it.

276
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 8: Thirty bucks an hour if you dot forty hours, that's

277
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:44,679
Speaker 8: only fifty a year.

278
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:46,400

Speaker 3: They done cleaned down the parks.

314
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 13: We gotta do something about these petties.

315
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 8: I don't know if you saw this story, but I

316
00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 8: think Richard Gear came out against them eating gerbils and

317
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 8: he said that is not their highest and best use.

318
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:37,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, he got black balled. Jeff on the black line.

319
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 11: Hey, if you know what I was trying to hold off? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

320
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 3: Go ahead, excuse me.

Speaker 8: I'm gonna I'm gonna play you a clip here, and

322
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 8: I'm not trying to be adversarial.

323
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 3: We just have conversations. We're friends here. We can we

324
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 3: can do this.

325
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,000
Speaker 8: I can tell even though I've never met you, I

Speaker 8: gonna turn your mic down, okay, and I want.

328
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 3: You to listen. This is her old Jay Daggett.

329
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 8: He is the International Longshoreman's Association President. Want you listen

330
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 8: to what he had to say? That's clip number six

331
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,919
Speaker 8: oh nine from GYM at ten oh five am Central Standing.

332
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 10: But today's world, it's changing into the future. They're not

333
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 10: making millions no more. They're making billions and they're spending

334
00:22:20,640 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 10: it fast as they make it. I want a piece

335
00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:26,000
Speaker 10: of that for my men, because when they made their

336
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,960
Speaker 10: most money was during COVID, when my men had to

337
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,440
Speaker 10: go to work on those piers every single day, when

338
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 10: everybody stayed home and went to work, not my men.

339
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,560
Speaker 10: They died out there with the virus. We all got

340
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 10: sick with the virus. We kept them going from Canada

341
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 10: to Maine, at Texas, Great Legs, Puerto Rico, now the Bahamas.

342
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 10: Everybody went to work during COVID, nobody stayed home. Well,

343
00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,159
Speaker 10: I want to be compensated for that. Now, I'm not

344
00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,080
Speaker 10: asking for the world. They know what I want. They

345
00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:02,679
Speaker 10: know what I want. If they don't, no, then I

346
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:04,919
Speaker 10: have to go into the street and we have to

347
00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 10: fight for what we rightfully deserve. These people today don't

348
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:12,919
Speaker 10: know what the shrike is. When my men hit the

349
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 10: streets from Maine to Texas, every single port a locked down.

350
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 10: You know what's gonna happen, I'll tell you. First week,

351
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 10: be all over the news every nine boom boom. Second week,

352
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 10: guys who sell cars can't sell costs because the cars

353
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 10: ain't coming in off the ships. They get laid off.

354
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:39,800
Speaker 10: Third week. Malls are closing down. They can't get the

355
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 10: goods from China. They can't sell clothes, they can't do this.

356
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 10: Everything in the United States comes on a ship. They

357
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 10: go out of business. Construction workers get laid off because

358
00:23:51,359 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 10: the materials aren't coming in. The steel's not coming in,

359
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 10: the lumber's not coming in. They lose their job. Everybody's

360
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 10: aid in the long showman now because now they realize

361
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 10: how important our jobs are. Now I have the president

362
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 10: screaming at me. I'm putting a taff Harley on. You

363
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 10: go ahead, taf Holly means I have to go back

364
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,879
Speaker 10: to work for ninety days after cooling off period. Do

365
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 10: you think when I go back for ninety days, those

366
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 10: men are going to go to work on that pier.

367
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 10: It's going to cost the money, the company's money to

368
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 10: pay their salaries. Well, they go one from thirty moves

369
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,840
Speaker 10: an now and maybe they eight. They're gonna be like this,

370
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 10: who's going to win here?

371
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 3: In the long run.

372
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,240
Speaker 10: You're better off sitting down and let's get a contract

373
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 10: and let's move on with this world. And could today's world,

374
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 10: I'll cripple you. I will cripple you, and you have

375
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 10: no idea what that means.

376
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 3: Nobody does. I'll cripple you. Do you think he means

377
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:49,359
Speaker 3: he'll cripple Jeff.

378
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 11: That's a hell of him. Yeah, that's a hell of

379
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 11: a motive.

380
00:24:55,400 --> 00:24:55,680
Speaker 6: You know.

381
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 11: That's not to throw it way off, Michael, but I

382
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:04,119
Speaker 11: leave Osama. Ben Lawton thought that same thing too, that

383
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 11: he would cripple the American economy.

384
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 8: But lat.

385
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 11: Well, I mean, it's a little on the dark side, Michael. Listen, Mine,

386
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 11: you know, I wanted to throw it out there real quick,

387
00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 11: like you say, it's how you formulated. I've been on

388
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 11: both sides. I'm no big fan of unions, not at all.

389
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 11: I don't like the organization that protects the lazy guy

390
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:36,400
Speaker 11: and he ends up getting the same pay I get

391
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,760
Speaker 11: even though I'm busting my ass. But at the same time,

392
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 11: I was an essential worker out there too during COVID.

393
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 11: I know what he's described and there, you know, Min

394
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 11: and Michael, I think there's a balance. Just like they've

395
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 11: discovered the electric card, the total electric ain't the answer

396
00:25:57,160 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 11: that the hybrid in the middle is somewhere in the

397
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 11: middle there. But I'd like to hear from other guys.

398
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 11: I mean, I'm just one guy.

399
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 8: Mike hold On, Pete Rose, well not today, you got

400
00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 8: corn pop was a bad dude. The Michael Berry Show,

401
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 8: half a mile.

402
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 3: From the Cannyfare.

403
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 8: How the rain came pouring down.

404
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 6: Me and boys.

405
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 3: Standing there with a silver half of round. He had

406
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 3: to pull off a fishing rod.

407
00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 8: Stopy just baggs. Yesterday with the storm record heat?

408
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:37,639
Speaker 3: Did you know that?

409
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 8: I heard Terry Smith said on the wind record heat yesterday,

410
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 8: why are you looking at me like that?

411
00:26:48,359 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 3: No, I'm not saying that there's no punchline. It was

412
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:53,639
Speaker 3: hot as hell yesterday.

413
00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 8: My buddy Michael Robinson Aggie Palmer said that the fall

414
00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 8: heat is worse than the summer heat. Me and uncle

415
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 8: Jerry and Michael and his electrical guy Jason, we're having

416
00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 8: We had about a half a beer each last night,

417
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 8: and he made that statement and we all kind of looked.

418
00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 3: Over at him, were like what. And he had a

419
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 3: whole theory on it. It's a dryer.

420
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 8: Heat hits you on one side of you.

421
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:34,439
Speaker 3: Heat it was. It was kind of convoluted, to be honest,

422
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 3: But then.

423
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:38,360
Speaker 8: I thought, who am I to criticize this guy's goofy

424
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 8: theories on how hot it is when I sit in

425
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,680
Speaker 8: the air conditioning all day and he's up in people's

426
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:44,600
Speaker 8: attic all.

427
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 11: Day and.

428
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:48,400
Speaker 3: It's hotter up.

429
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 8: There than it is anywhere else. And then this morning

430
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:53,919
Speaker 8: I hear record heat and I think, well, he was

431
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 8: out his face with some bur because he had been

432
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,679
Speaker 8: out in it all day, and I thought, well, maybe

433
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 8: there's something to the fall he. I will tell you

434
00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 8: this because I've been spending time in Austin again, which

435
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:08,159
Speaker 8: I hadn't done, not on this level, since I was

436
00:28:08,200 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 8: in law school thirty years ago.

437
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,840
Speaker 3: I will tell you that I find.

438
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 8: Austin's heat to be more bothersome than Houston's heat because

439
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:24,440
Speaker 8: it's a dryer heat. So when somebody from Arizona talks

440
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,680
Speaker 8: about it being hot, or if you say I was

441
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:31,200
Speaker 8: out in Arizona, man, it was so hot, and they'll

442
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 8: say it's a dry heat. If you've never been in

443
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 8: the dry heat, you wonder why they say that, because

444
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 8: they say it with such conviction, as if you're supposed

445
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 8: to go, oh, yeah, it's a dry heat. It's not

446
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:50,080
Speaker 8: until you're in it. There is something about the heat

447
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,960
Speaker 8: in Austin that bothers me way more than the heat here,

448
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 8: and I think part of.

449
00:28:56,120 --> 00:29:00,920
Speaker 3: It is, I don't know what it is.

450
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 8: It feels like a dry heat, it feels like a

451
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 8: more oppressive heat.

452
00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 3: And I'll give you an example.

453
00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 8: Austin has had a lot of infill, a lot of

454
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:15,240
Speaker 8: people moving in, and then of course the topography is

455
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:16,800
Speaker 8: you get out. People want to be out there, out

456
00:29:16,800 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 8: off Mopak and there's some pretty pretty areas out there,

457
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 8: those hills, especially the tech money. That's where a lot

458
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 8: of those guys are going. But as you're driving along,

459
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 8: especially on the west side of town and you're north

460
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 8: south arteries Mopack particularly, there's some of those real pretty

461
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 8: roads that just kind of wander and there's those there's

462
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 8: those rock formations, and we don't have that in Houston.

463
00:29:42,560 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 3: I really like that. You get that.

464
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 8: Out in Northwest Texas area. I like that out in Amarillo.

465
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:52,680
Speaker 8: There's a lot of that and it's just beautiful.

466
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 3: But as I'm.

467
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,160
Speaker 8: Driving out in those areas, I notice that when the

468
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,960
Speaker 8: road flattens out and straightens out, I see the heat

469
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 8: coming off the asphalt. I never see that here now,

470
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 8: maybe because you can't see far enough because the traffic

471
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 8: is so bad, And when you're out there like that,

472
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,240
Speaker 8: you've got a little space to look around.

473
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,680
Speaker 3: I don't know. I may be wrong, I admit it.

474
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 3: I'm just telling you.

475
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 8: My perception is the heat is more oppressive in Austin

476
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 8: than it is in Houston. And part of that is

477
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 8: if I can break a sweat, that's I'm cooling down.

478
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 8: When it's really hot, and you don't break a sweat,

479
00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 8: it feels like you retain that heat. And I do

480
00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 8: understand the biological process of why we break a sweat.

481
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:45,760
Speaker 8: So this segment mostly focused on heat and a comparison

482
00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:51,680
Speaker 8: of heat between Austin and Houston, with references to Arizona.

483
00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 8: Now to the subject of the Longshoreman's Union.

484
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:01,040
Speaker 3: I am well aware that we have a a lot.

485
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 8: Of longshoremen and other port related industry employees who listen

486
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 8: to our show. I'm well aware of that. You don't

487
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 8: have to keep telling me.

488
00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 3: I'm also well.

489
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 8: Aware that I could suggest that every one of you

490
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:20,640
Speaker 8: get paid a million dollars and that that would make

491
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 8: you like me more and probably not bother very many people. However,

492
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 8: that's not how I feel. I don't believe in a

493
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:39,560
Speaker 8: government mandated minimum wage. I believe that the marketplace should

494
00:31:39,600 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 8: dictate wages the marketplace and only the marketplace. Now does

495
00:31:49,000 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 8: that mean that most people will not get paid what

496
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 8: they'd like to get paid, Yes, it does, But there

497
00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 8: are a lot of other factors at play that people

498
00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:01,959
Speaker 8: don't consider. Many people think about when they're in financial trouble.

499
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:07,960
Speaker 8: They think about how to earn more money. Really smart

500
00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 8: people think about how to spend less money. Till and

501
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:16,560
Speaker 8: Fertita used to have a show on called Billion Dollar Buyer,

502
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 8: and the reason I think it didn't take off to

503
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 8: the extent that it probably should have was because he

504
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 8: focused on the part of the business that nobody's interested in.

505
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 8: He didn't focus on making more money. That's what people want.

506
00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 8: The Instagram models, the Kardashians. Look at the money, Look

507
00:32:34,320 --> 00:32:37,400
Speaker 8: at the cars, Look at the hoes, look at the travel,

508
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 8: Look at the boat I'm on, Look at her pretty

509
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 8: toes up in the air, look at the beautiful water

510
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 8: in the white sand beaches. Every one of those people

511
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 8: is going to be broke. It doesn't matter if they

512
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:52,719
Speaker 8: making one hundred thousand, a million or twenty million. You

513
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 8: look at how many mc hammers And the only thing

514
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 8: dumber than those pants he was wearing was blowing through

515
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 8: ten million dollars back then in a year. And his

516
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:12,200
Speaker 8: answer was, it's expensive to keep a posse. But when

517
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 8: you look at how much cost is passed from what

518
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:21,840
Speaker 8: they're asking for onto the consumer. Guess what Every American

519
00:33:21,920 --> 00:33:24,160
Speaker 8: is going to be affected by this union contract, every

520
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 8: single American. You won't know it. Part of what adds

521
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:33,240
Speaker 8: or what adds to inflation is printing too much money.

522
00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 8: But the reason government does it is because it makes

523
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 8: people happy. Well, guess what else adds to inflation? An

524
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 8: increased cost of bringing products in. When you start saying

525
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 8: we demand that you not automate our industry.

526
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:49,360
Speaker 3: How come because we want to get paid.

527
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 8: A bunch of money because they recognize that it would

528
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 8: save money to not have to pay them those wages.

529
00:33:56,040 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 8: And they're asking for seventy percent. So our business is

530
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:00,480
Speaker 8: basically going away and we want to.

531
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:01,120
Speaker 3: Make more money.

532
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 8: It's not gonna happen. And I'm sorry it's not gonna happen.

533
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 8: It's not my fault. But I don't think everybody else

534
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:07,280
Speaker 8: should have to pay for your raise.

535
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 3: I just don't.

536
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 8: There's a lot of industries that go under, and mine

537
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 8: will too. Right, I could be replaced by AI. It's true,

538
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:17,800
Speaker 8: you can do it today.

539
00:34:18,800 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 3: That's the struggle we all have.

540
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:22,680
Speaker 8: But nobody else should have to pay to support me

541
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,400
Speaker 8: if they don't want to, because I'm in some union.
