1
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: It's that time time, time, luck and load.

2
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 2: So Michael Verie Show is on the air. So part

3
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 2: of the fallout from the primaries last week was the

4
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 2: biggest defeat of an incumbent was for the first time

5
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 2: since twenty fourteen, a sitting Republican congressman defeated in his

6
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:53,720
Speaker 2: own primary. That was the Dan Crenshaw Steve Toathe race.

7
00:00:55,160 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 2: Crenshaw had some statements to make about why he lost.

8
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 2: None of them, not one, suggested that even one percent

9
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 2: was related to anything he has said or done or

10
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 2: not done as a congressman, and I think that is

11
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 2: quite telling. Unfortunately, I don't want to spend any more

12
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 2: time on him. I do want to speak to the process. However,

13
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 2: Houston Chronicle had a story they posted that was entitled

14
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 2: who is Steve Toath? What to know about the Texas

15
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:43,880
Speaker 2: lawmaker who upset Dan Crenshaw in the primary? Well, first

16
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 2: of all, he beat him, I think sixty forty. It's

17
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 2: a pretty big win. And that surprised a lot of

18
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 2: people because there was some swamp money that came in

19
00:01:54,600 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 2: to attack Toath and push the incumbent. Incumbent has advantages

20
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 2: that a challenger doesn't have. They have the ability to

21
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 2: make news, over votes, over positions. They have a full staff.

22
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 2: You know, when you're running for office, a lot of

23
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 2: times it's just you and your cell phone, and it's

24
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 2: a tough thing to do. You're getting calls, hey can

25
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,800
Speaker 2: you do an interview? Can you be here at this time?

26
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 2: You're trying to call people and raise money so you

27
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,239
Speaker 2: can have a little money to do some TV, some radio,

28
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 2: some print whatever. You're going to do some billboards. But

29
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 2: it's just you and when you're in meetings what you

30
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 2: have to do or giving speeches which you have to do,

31
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 2: you're not making calls, you're not returning calls. It's a

32
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 2: tough thing to do. It's a very very difficult thing

33
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,799
Speaker 2: to do. If you are an incumbent, you've typically got

34
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 2: a campaign account already. You've got a government office which

35
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 2: you're not supposed to use as a campaign office, but

36
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 2: we all know that many congressmen in effect do. They're

37
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 2: they're careful, but there are ways that tasks can be

38
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 2: performed that help your campaign. And then you typically have

39
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 2: a campaign account that has rolled over, that has people

40
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 2: out doing things for you. So if you're the challenger,

41
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 2: it's as you're you're climbing a steep hill. Who is

42
00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: Steve coch Toth? What to know about the Texas lawmaker

43
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 2: who upset Dan Crenshaw on the primary. There are a

44
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 2: couple of different sites. One of them who advertises on

45
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 2: our station. I'm told I haven't seen it is called

46
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 2: Calshie or call she. Another one called Polymarket. And now

47
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: we love to gamble. I would say Americans love to gamble,

48
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: but I don't think Americans love to gamble as much

49
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 2: as Asians do, especially East Asians. They love to gamble,

50
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 2: but we do as people enjoy gambling. And now it's

51
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 2: not just on who's going to win the game, And

52
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 2: in fact, now it's not even limited to sports. You know,

53
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 2: it had moved to who was going to win the

54
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 2: coin toss at the Super Bowl. It's you can gamble.

55
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 2: You can bet on most anything now and a lot

56
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 2: of people do. And I think it's the thrill of

57
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:33,160
Speaker 2: that more than anything else that people enjoy. The betting

58
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 2: markets had Crenshaw with an eighty percent likelihood to win

59
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 2: and Toath at twenty percent as the polls closed. Well,

60
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 2: Chance McLean is good friends with Steve Toath, and he

61
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 2: texted he said Hey, you got a minute for a

62
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 2: phone call? I hate phone calls and I said yeah,

63
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 2: So I called him and he said, hey, I'm not

64
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 2: trying to scare you, but the polymarket numbers have Crenshaw

65
00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: at eight percent likelihood to win. And I said, they

66
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 2: don't know what has happened in the district. They're going

67
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 2: by an incumbent, and that's a perfectly reasonable thing to do.

68
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 2: The odds are a challenger is not going to beat

69
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 2: an incumbent, a four term incumbent. It's just not going

70
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 2: to happen. But what we know is the district is

71
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 2: wants change, and that Toath has a record as a reformer,

72
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:36,680
Speaker 2: as a constitutionalist, as a Tea Party guy, as a contrarian,

73
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 2: a guy who's willing to be if he has to

74
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 2: be the way Ted Cruz was the first time he

75
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 2: went to the Senate. If he has to be the

76
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 2: one guy to vote against something, he will, even if

77
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 2: they will twist and contort that vote to make him

78
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 2: look like he hates cops or flood control, flood prevention,

79
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 2: or human beings. I mean bill, that's the way these

80
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 2: bills are crafted. Wonder why you get bloat in your

81
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 2: government because they draft these bills so that if you

82
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 2: vote against something you voted, look at all the good

83
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 2: things you voted against. You're a monster. You don't support

84
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 2: police officers or bulletproof vests or flood relief for Kingwood

85
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 2: or children, or you're a monster. Well that's just not true,

86
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,919
Speaker 2: but that's what they do. But I wanted to speak

87
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 2: to and we knew that, and you knew that because

88
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 2: you were the change that was happening that they couldn't see.

89
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 2: So there was the article started. Steve Toath, an ordained

90
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 2: pastor and the owner of a pool cleaning business, is

91
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 2: known as one of the most conservative members of the

92
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 2: Texas legislature. So Tooth had a record too. Grenshaw had

93
00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 2: a record in Congress. Tooth had a record in the House,

94
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 2: and they were both able to run on those records,

95
00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:08,359
Speaker 2: and we see what happened. But I wanted to speak

96
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 2: to something that was very disturbing that I heard from

97
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 2: a lot of people, and that was, why are you

98
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 2: supporting Toath? He owns a pool cleaning company? Okay? Correct,

99
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:25,080
Speaker 2: He's also right handed, has blue eye. I don't know

100
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 2: if he's blue eyes, I don't know. He's right handed,

101
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 2: he's five', ten he has? Hair what? Else why does this?

102
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,240
Speaker 2: Matter what are you? Saying do you want to send

103
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 2: somebody that owns a pool cleaning company To? Congress, yeah

104
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,400
Speaker 2: that's exactly WHAT i want to send To. CONGRESS i

105
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 2: don't want four hundred and thirty five plus another one,

106
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 2: hundred five hundred and thirty five congressmen and senators who

107
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 2: all own pool cleaning. Companies but we got enough, lawyers.

108
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 2: Right we want to have some. Veterans we want to

109
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:04,239
Speaker 2: have some mommies so that when bills come up about mommy.

110
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 2: Issues we want to have some. Educators we want to

111
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 2: have some big tech. Guys we want to have a

112
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 2: little of some former law. Enforcement but why wouldn't? You

113
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 2: that's the salt of the, Earth that's what drives The

114
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 2: American we need more guys that own a pool cleaning,

115
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 2: company not. Less what kind of mindset to? People who

116
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 2: do you want in our government to particularly on your?

117
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 2: Takings WHEN i don't have to get, up and you,

118
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:38,680
Speaker 2: KNOW i haven't spent the night before preparing a, show

119
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:43,160
Speaker 2: AND i haven't thought as MUCH i. HAD i had

120
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:50,480
Speaker 2: been doing more research than usual on the goings on

121
00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 2: in D. C because you start noticing these patterns With

122
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 2: corny and with the Swamp Tom tillis leaving. Office Lindsey

123
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 2: graham over, there just all lathered up Overwore John, thune,

124
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 2: pressuring as he, said The president to Support John, Cornyn mitch,

125
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 2: McConnell who's clearly out of. It he's as out of

126
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 2: it As Dianne feinstein, was Or Kay granger or why

127
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 2: we allow this? Nonsense it's. Crazy and here was a

128
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 2: guy who was supposed to be The republican leader in

129
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 2: The senate and now he's working as hard as he

130
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 2: can Against. Trump and you've Got Susan collins In. Maine

131
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 2: and you've Got Lisa murkowski who couldn't win her own

132
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 2: primary In alaska and somehow ends up through The independence

133
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 2: and The democrats to be The senator From. Alaska it's,

134
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 2: disgusting and so sometimes in order to break that cycle

135
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 2: of just obsessing over things that frustrate, Me i'm, fine

136
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 2: BUT i think about the average. Guy this bust in his,

137
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 2: home paying his, taxes feels like he can never get,

138
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 2: ahead and especially the working class guy because all the

139
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 2: problems you see in the viral, videos the nonsense at

140
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:07,359
Speaker 2: The carnival, cruise nonsense at the public football game or basketball,

141
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 2: game the nonsense at the grocery. Store that's working class

142
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 2: people being exposed to, that that struggle to get out of.

143
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 2: It and that's why you're sending a lot of people

144
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:21,720
Speaker 2: move out of. Cities, now that's why you're seeing people

145
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 2: flee the cities who possibly. Can problem is it's hard

146
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 2: to find. WORK a lot of people would like to

147
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 2: move out To brenham Or Chapel hill Or, belleville it's

148
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 2: hard to find work out. There so they're stuck in

149
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:38,360
Speaker 2: and around the, city you, know In Deer park Or

150
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 2: Galena park Or baytown where they work at a, plant

151
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 2: because it's hard to replicate that Pay Pasadena. Laporte if

152
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 2: you go out to one of these places where you

153
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 2: don't have to deal with, democrats you don't have to

154
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:54,400

00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:51,840
Speaker 2: to get us out of the station wagon and out

377
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:55,120
Speaker 2: from off her. Nerves and because you, know we didn't

378
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 2: have back, then you didn't have an, iPad you didn't

379
00:23:58,280 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 2: have all this stuff you could plug into your. Ears

380
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 2: you were just. Talking you were calling out cars and

381
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 2: reading things and pinching each other and pulling each, other

382
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 2: and so to get into that. Pool kids, today you,

383
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 2: know a lot of kids have a pool or somewhere

384
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,639

385
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 2: what it was in those days in terms of like

386
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 2: the water parks and all. That and now people just

387
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 2: build one in their. Backyard but it was crazy WHEN

388
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 2: i think that probably had a lot to do with

389
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 2: the decline of the water. Park is everybody has a

390
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 2: pool at. Home there are a lot of people kind

391
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 2: of pools at home. Now seven one three nine nine

399
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:07,119

00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:27,360
Speaker 2: old and without anyone realizing, it they just never named

405
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 2: a Kid scott. Anymore just no More, scott's which means

406
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 2: there's probably a first Generation mexican woman who came To

407
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 2: houston within the last few years and has named her

408
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:43,320
