It's 47 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,480 Speaker 3: part of the natural yearning of the human spirit. It 48 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 3: is not granted by a government.

The US is the first time in 54 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 3: the history of the world where a government was organized 55 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 3: with a constitution laying out the rules that the individual 56 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 3: was supreme and dominant. And that is what led to 57 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 3: the US becoming the greatest country ever because it unleashed 58 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 3: people to be the best they could be, unlike it 59 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 3: had ever happened. 60 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 2: That's American exceptionalism. 61 00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: Brush Limbaugh behind the Golden EiV Mike one of a Kind. 62 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 2: Five years ago. 63 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 4: Today, Robert Duval has passed MoU Radley. 64 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 2: McRae. 65 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 4: So many great roles for duvall, I get Duval and 66 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 4: Dennis Hopper.

With 72 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 4: the primaries opening today that will go through next Friday 73 00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 4: and then March third called election day. I don't call 74 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 4: it election day because I want people to vote early, 75 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 4: because I've had too many people wait until quote unquote 76 00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:51,840 Speaker 4: election day and then you're sick, your kid is sick, 77 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 4: you get sent on a work project, you get in 78 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 4: a wreck, weather is bad, things happen, and then you 79 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 4: forget to vote. 80 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 2: Why not vote early? 81 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 4: I am intolerant of people's emails when they tell me 82 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 4: why they had trouble voting on election day. I just 83 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,359 Speaker 4: tell somebody else, I told you to vote early. You 84 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:20,000 Speaker 4: had all the time in the world. You waited till 85 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 4: the last minute. You created your own problems. And a 86 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 4: lot of people do this. A lot of people leave 87 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 4: eight minutes before something starts when they're ten minutes away, 88 00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 4: myself included, and create their own problems. So that person 89 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:45,479 Speaker 4: is going to get irrationally angry at a stoppage in 90 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 4: traffic or something else because they did not plan ahead. 91 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 2: So I am. 92 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 4: I am unsympathetic to those who wait until March third 93 00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 4: to vote when you had today through next Friday to vote. 94 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,039 Speaker 4: You're never going to know everything about every candidate. Just 95 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 4: understand that. People will say, well, here this one I 96 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 4: get all the time. Well, it's just he said, She said, 97 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 4: you ever served on a jury, You ever had to 98 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 4: determine someone's guilt or well it's not technically innocentse but 99 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,600 Speaker 4: you ever had to determine whether to sence oft to 100 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 4: prison or not. And so it's a lot more important 101 00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:26,679 Speaker 4: than your one vote in an election, an individual's vote, 102 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 4: You're one vote on a jury is much more And 103 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 4: that's the ultimate he said. She said, And by the way, 104 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,320 Speaker 4: they got lawyers each making the case for and against. 105 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 4: Part of being a high functioning citizen in the Republic 106 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 4: is making decisions. I will tell you this. People who 107 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:53,039 Speaker 4: lack the ability to make decisions are people who will 108 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 4: never be leaders. They're not highly successful. They are low functioning. 109 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,679 Speaker 4: Now the wrong with that. They might be very nice people, 110 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,280 Speaker 4: but people who cannot make decisions. 111 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 2: When George W. 112 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 4: Bush said, there was a question asked of him, well. 113 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 2: How are you going to go to war or whatever? 114 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 4: And you know, you don't have the support. He made 115 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 4: a statement that was written for him. He said, I 116 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:28,400 Speaker 4: am the decider, and he was derided by the liberal 117 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 4: press over that. But I would tell you for people 118 00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 4: who have built businesses and people who have been successful 119 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 4: professionally in their lives, whatever that might be, and personally 120 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,240 Speaker 4: they understood what that meant. I am the person when 121 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,240 Speaker 4: everyone else is panicked. I am the person who says, 122 00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 4: let's take this path, let's go this direction, let's do 123 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:02,000 Speaker 4: this thing. That is the leader, that is the alpha. 124 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:07,240 Speaker 4: So making a decision for candidates on imperfect information is 125 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 4: the best you can live. 126 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 2: Laugh, but you have to do it. Nine months out show. 127 00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 5: Loudy. 128 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,360 Speaker 4: Lena with get another meltdown at Commissioner's Court. As she 129 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 4: took her ball and went home. In her absence, commissioners 130 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 4: voted unanimously against her. She she lost her mind. You 131 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 4: know these people, it is amazing how much time they 132 00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:51,000 Speaker 4: spend on what's going on in their own offices. Who 133 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:56,360 Speaker 4: got a massive county with a massive budget, and she 134 00:08:56,559 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 4: lost her mind over another Democrat on Commissioner's Court, Leslie Brione, 135 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:08,360 Speaker 4: is needing a second exit door in her office because 136 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 4: she said that there was no way for people to 137 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 4: get out, for her staff to get out if there 138 00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 4: was a fire or a threat at the front office, 139 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:21,600 Speaker 4: and that meant they needed to cut into a wall 140 00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:25,480 Speaker 4: that was in Loony Elena's office, and she lost her mind. 141 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 4: She lost her ever loving mind. So this little child 142 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 4: that was put up there because she's a Hispanic female. 143 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 2: There was an old white dude who had filed. 144 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 4: They got him to take his name off the ballot 145 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 4: once they found her, and then I think he went 146 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 4: to work for her. I think that was probably the 147 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,240 Speaker 4: deal that was cut so that he was given a 148 00:09:54,320 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 4: job in her office. He's a stalwart old time white, 149 00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 4: angry liberal Democrat, and I suspect Rodney would have called 150 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,559 Speaker 4: him and worked the deal. That's what Rodney's very very 151 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 4: good at that. And then it was the way it 152 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 4: was paved for Loony Lena, and then she wins in 153 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:21,040 Speaker 4: eighteen and then of course they stole it twenty twenty two, 154 00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 4: and here we are, Here is her meltdown over something 155 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 4: that nobody in the county cares about. This is a 156 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 4: meltdown in front of the cameras over what goes on 157 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 4: in their own offices. 158 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:33,840 Speaker 2: At Commissioner's Court. 159 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:39,600 Speaker 5: Here's the item for the latest discussion on this and 160 00:10:39,679 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 5: please don't interrupt me, Commissioner Breness. 161 00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,319 Speaker 2: So this says feedback. 162 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:50,440 Speaker 5: Nowhere does it say Nowhere does it say decision.
