Be 44 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,639 Speaker 6: the cheering section, because you're nothing more or less than 45 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,119 Speaker 6: the cheering section.

You are getting the evening show and Friday 229 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 6: morning we start with oh Happy Day. And we start 230 00:12:52,440 --> 00:13:00,320 Speaker 6: the show by setting our balance, by centering ourselves and 231 00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 6: know that I am god kind. 232 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 1: Of thing, a sort of prayerful mode of. 233 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:12,119 Speaker 6: A resounding sense of completeness and calm. 234 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:15,480 Speaker 1: And I do that because people are on their way 235 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: into work. It's Friday. Let's have a good Friday. 236 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 6: Let's extend the weekend so that Friday is a happy day, 237 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 6: and that's why we started that. Then by the end 238 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 6: of the day, when people are headed home, we do 239 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:35,480 Speaker 6: BlackBerry smoke and I can feel a good one coming on. 240 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 6: And the idea there was to pop a top crack 241 00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:44,480 Speaker 6: of beer on the drive home and relax, because I 242 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 6: am mindful of the fact that the Friday drive home 243 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 6: is the bridge between your work, wife and what matters, 244 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 6: which is what's waiting for you at home. 245 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,520 Speaker 1: And that was a way to reset the mood and 246 00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: put a smile on. Put a smile on your face 247 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 1: and really focus on being that breath. 248 00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 6: Of fresh air as you come blowing into the house, 249 00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 6: so that your family is you know, your family does 250 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 6: not see the guy who comes home and complains about 251 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:16,280 Speaker 6: the work he's already left. 252 00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: You've already left work. Well, I complain about it, but. 253 00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 6: Instead you come blowing in and pick the kids up 254 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 6: and swing them around and take mom and a dinner, 255 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 6: and let's take the kids out and go on the swing. 256 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:29,640 Speaker 6: And and so the idea was to pop a top 257 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,800 Speaker 6: to the end of the week and the journey. Now 258 00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 6: there will be people who live in fear and love 259 00:14:36,560 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 6: to constantly be afraid of everything and getting in trouble 260 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 6: over everything. It's a sad, sad, depressing, defeatist mentality, and 261 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 6: they'll say, oh, you ought not drink a beer. And 262 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:52,080 Speaker 6: it's been my mentality for years that it is safer 263 00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,120 Speaker 6: for a person if they're going to have one beer 264 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,480 Speaker 6: to have one beer on the drive home that's open container, 265 00:14:57,560 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 6: not drunk driving one beer and one beer only on 266 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 6: the drive home, than it is for them to stop 267 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:05,000 Speaker 6: at a bar. But in the state of Texas you 268 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 6: have to stop at a bar. You can't have an 269 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,880 Speaker 6: open container, but you can stop at a bar and 270 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 6: have a beer, except you're never just going to have 271 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 6: one at a bar. You're going to have multiples, which 272 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 6: makes it more likely you're actually going to drive drunk. 273 00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 6: One beer does not make you drunk. That's what people 274 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 6: seem to struggle with. And the only reason we have 275 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 6: that rule is in the state of Texas in nineteen 276 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 6: ninety eight, before he ran for president in two thousand, 277 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,680 Speaker 6: George W. Bush was hiding a DWI from twenty years before, 278 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 6: and so the way he was going to sort of 279 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:37,000 Speaker 6: inoculate himself to that fact was to close off our 280 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 6: open container law. So it wasn't a good policy. It 281 00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 6: was a way for him to run for president and 282 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 6: cover his track. So anyway, here's to you, Papa. Top 283 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:47,960 Speaker 6: to you after a long, hard week and being a great, 284 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 6: great person when you walk in the door in a breath.

Yeah, we just got good. 326 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 5: I was just gonna say that. What brought it to 327 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,879 Speaker 5: my mind is that I barely bumped this lady not 328 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,080 Speaker 5: too long ago, and the insurance company, my insurance company 329 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 5: actually came out and did a black box search on 330 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 5: my jeep and there was no impact, no noticeable impact. 331 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 5: But he's getting all his medical care and all this stuff. 332 00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:19,400 Speaker 5: It's just it's ridiculous. 333 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:24,720 Speaker 6: Well, uh, the tort reform in the state of Texas 334 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 6: changed a lot of that, but basically, if there is 335 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:34,639 Speaker 6: a lawyer willing to take the case, then they're gonna 336 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:39,439 Speaker 6: What ended up happening was that companies didn't want to 337 00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:40,480 Speaker 6: fight these cases. 338 00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:44,480 Speaker 1: So you would have law firms that were basically just 339 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:44,920 Speaker 1: a mill. 340 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 6: They'd have one lawyer, but he'd have a bunch of paralegals. 341 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 6: They're not even really paralegals. He'd have a bunch of 342 00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:52,879 Speaker 6: young women who were good on the computer, and they 343 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:55,959 Speaker 6: would just generate letters demand letters all day long. And 344 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:58,400 Speaker 6: so they'd say, hey, you know, this guy walked into 345 00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:01,640 Speaker 6: your grocery store and he slipped in and the demand 346 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:05,199 Speaker 6: is for one hundred thousand, and you'd call back and 347 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,959 Speaker 6: go well, will you settle in ten thousand and so 348 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,720 Speaker 6: they have nothing in the case ten thousand, they keep forty, 349 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 6: they make four grand, they give six to the client. 350 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,680 Speaker 6: And over a period of time, because nobody would fight 351 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:19,840 Speaker 6: these cases. 352 00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: Then they became. 353 00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,400 Speaker 6: You know, these demand letters just became through the roof, 354 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 6: and the combination of tort reform and some people fighting 355 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 6: back made a world of difference to stop that nonsense. Rebecca, 356 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 6: you're on the Michael Berry Show. What is your executive order? 357 00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:41,840 Speaker 11: Executive order is I'm out here in Katie and I 358 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,919 Speaker 11: would draft legislation that would protect our children in the 359 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 11: classroom nationwide, because there was a Republican girl a couple 360 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 11: of weeks ago that was assaulted in class at Taylor 361 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 11: High School. And I'm going to talk with your producers 362 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:58,800 Speaker 11: afterwards about it, so maybe we can do a show 363 00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 11: on it. But our children need to be protected and 364 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,480 Speaker 11: they're not, and it's it's disgusting. You know, we can't 365 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 11: send our children to public school without wondering if they're 366 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:11,480 Speaker 11: going to be injured or you know, something's going to happen. 367 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,440 Speaker 1: I saw a video on this. 368 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:17,119 Speaker 6: It was a tiny, little white girl and a big 369 00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:18,879 Speaker 6: black fellow. I mean, he looked like he'd be a 370 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 6: starting offensive guard potentially in college. And she was tougher 371 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 6: that I would have expected, considering the blows he was 372 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,119 Speaker 6: raining down on her. Is that that same case? 373 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,840 Speaker 11: It's that same case, and you know now they're trying 374 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 11: to hold the girl accountable when she was being attacked 375 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:45,400 Speaker 11: and no officials were there to stop it. And it's frightening, 376 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,880 Speaker 11: and it's frightening how she's being treated, and it's frightening 377 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:54,080 Speaker 11: how it's being handled, and parents across America need to know. 378 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: They do need it. But hold on. 379 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,640 Speaker 6: I saw the video and I agree. I think they're 380 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,439 Speaker 6: covering kit up. They're covering up what happened. And I 381 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:06,119 Speaker 6: think that a guy of this size pummeling a girl 382 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:09,120 Speaker 6: of that size is wrong. But I did see her 383 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,200 Speaker 6: hit him. I saw her hit him before he hit her. 384 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 6: I did see that on the video, and I got 385 00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:16,480 Speaker 6: we've got the racial element, we got the cover up. 386 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,439 Speaker 6: She hit him, and I think she might have hit 387 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,879 Speaker 6: him twice. I think that girl was not exactly trying 388 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 6: to get away from the confrontation. I don't think she 389 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 6: expected him to respond. And I think a lot of 390 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:29,840 Speaker 6: girls get themselves into trouble going and looking for problems 391 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 6: like that. 392 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: Do you deny that she hit him? 393 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 11: Well, I have the whole video, and what I know 394 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,479 Speaker 11: is that she was not the one who started it. 395 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:46,840 Speaker 11: And what I know is from the information that I have, 396 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:52,720 Speaker 11: there was some sexual harassment beforehand. But from what I know, 397 00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:56,119 Speaker 11: knowing the family and having the full and edited video, 398 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 11: is that he hit first, and any kind of hitting 399 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 11: that she did was in defense. So I have the 400 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,280 Speaker 11: whole video that I can send to you. 401 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 6: I would love to see it and listen. He should 402 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 6: not given the size difference. He should never have done 403 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 6: what he's done, and he should have been punished more 404 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,400 Speaker 6: than that. And I'd be shocked if any football team 405 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 6: would ever want him on their team, because he's clearly 406 00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:24,040 Speaker 6: got some serious impulse control and discipline problems. But the 407 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 6: video I saw is at least five seconds of her 408 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,720 Speaker 6: walking and he's there both in the middle of the 409 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:33,400 Speaker 6: room and everybody's watching the fireworks. There had clearly been 410 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,159 Speaker 6: some things before that, and she takes about two steps 411 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 6: toward him and she punches him very hard in the chest, 412 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:41,159 Speaker 6: and I think she may have hit him in the face, 413 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,639 Speaker 6: whereupon he pounces. 414 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,359 Speaker 1: But there is no doubt in my mind that. 415 00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:50,240 Speaker 6: She approached him, She took steps to approach him, then 416 00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,640 Speaker 6: she hit him at least once, if not twice. I'll 417 00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:55,200 Speaker 6: go back and review it, and I remember thinking, that's 418 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:59,119 Speaker 6: a girl with some big brothers. That is a tomboy 419 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 6: girl who has had fights before. I will tell you 420 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,520 Speaker 6: the fact that she held her own in the fight 421 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:06,320 Speaker 6: as well as she did, consider that he had one 422 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,800 Speaker 6: hundred pounds on her, was impressive. But I think we've 423 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,680 Speaker 6: got to be careful here that we don't position this 424 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 6: just because there are so many cases like this as 425 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 6: if this is a damsel in distress and this guy 426 00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 6: just came and jumped on her and dropped her. She 427 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 6: approached him physically, I'm certain of that she punched him physically. 428 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:30,239 Speaker 6: I'm certain of that at least one time, she was 429 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 6: not removing herself from the situation. She was approaching the situation. 430 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:38,160 Speaker 6: And I'm just look, I get these all day, every day, 431 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 6: the racial element, the male female element of what's gone 432 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 6: wrong with the school, the football player getting the. 433 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 1: Preferential treatment. 434 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,159 Speaker 6: However, all of that being said, I think we have 435 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 6: to be honest about what that video show. 436 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,879 Speaker 1: Hey job, who'd use that tone to me, not a joe. 437 00:23:56,920 --> 00:24:00,280 Speaker 6: That's sarcastic, contemptuous tone that means you know. 438 00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,119 Speaker 1: Everything because you're a man. Then I know nothing because 439 00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: I'm a woman. That is not a joke. That is 440 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 1: a natural fact. 441 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:08,120 Speaker 8: The Michael Verry. 442 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 6: Show from Livings to Louisiana is excited to call in 443 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:17,640 Speaker 6: and talk about American made nuts and bolts from the 444 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 6: voicemail line. 445 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,479 Speaker 10: Him Michael Berry, this is Jim from the reach they 446 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 10: of living to Louisiana, but other way around.

The nuts and bolts in 449 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:34,639 Speaker 10: America are extremely high quality. They are not a little 450 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 10: bit better than Chinese. They are a thousand times better. 451 00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:40,359 Speaker 10: They have numbers on the heads, numbers on the nuts. 452 00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:44,000 Speaker 10: They match up. They show the high quality hardened steel 453 00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,560 Speaker 10: that they need for that job, and that specification exactly. 454 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 10: That's why you pay twelve dollars for it. It ain't gonna break, 455 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:54,320 Speaker 10: it ain't gonna kill nobody. They have certain specifications. When 456 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:57,119 Speaker 10: you're doing buildings and everything, you get the American nuts 457 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,600 Speaker 10: and bolts because the Chinese will print it on there, 458 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,360 Speaker 10: but they buying so you have to buy the American 459 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,440 Speaker 10: products because that's the stuff. 460 00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 1: That I'll hold up. 461 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:06,119 Speaker 10: It ain't gonna break. 462 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 8: You have. 463 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:11,480 Speaker 10: They have whole lists of what the nothing bolting letters mean, 464 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 10: and that's just ten times better American quality. You pay 465 00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 10: that twelve dollars that people live. 466 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 6: To the phone calls, We go, Bob, what is your 467 00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 6: executive order? 468 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 7: Field service? Repair and technicians should not be on commission? 469 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 1: Why not? 470 00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 7: Because they upsel a lot of needless crap. 471 00:25:41,280 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 6: Okay, are you talking in oil and gas or are 472 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,200 Speaker 6: you talking about just generally. 473 00:25:48,400 --> 00:25:51,679 Speaker 7: Generally mainly household stuff? 474 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: You know, I agree, But here's the problem. What we're 475 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:57,360 Speaker 1: this is sort of like how I. 476 00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,760 Speaker 6: Get into the arguments or term limits. What we're talking 477 00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 6: about out here are people with no scruples, people with 478 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:10,920 Speaker 6: know ethics, consumers having to defend themselves and protect themselves 479 00:26:10,920 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 6: and not assume that everybody's. 480 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:12,640 Speaker 1: A good guy. 481 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 6: But when you are a company and you're trying to 482 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 6: get people to show up and work hard and put 483 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:25,879 Speaker 6: in long hours, we have found that increased compensation tends 484 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 6: to be a very powerful motivator. So the business is 485 00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:33,440 Speaker 6: trying to motivate them to do more. A good salesman 486 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,479 Speaker 6: will show up and do what's right, or the person 487 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:39,879 Speaker 6: that they're serving at their home. A bad salesman will 488 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 6: simply try to. 489 00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:44,040 Speaker 1: Make more money. I don't think you're going to replace. 490 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 6: Bad people by replacing the financing mechanism. They just won't 491 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,560 Speaker 6: show up to the house or whatever else that being said, 492 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 6: I get it. It's frustrating. I have seen over the years, 493 00:27:00,160 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 6: and in fact, I've had to fire some show sponsors 494 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 6: over the years, or their salesmen going out and they're 495 00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,800 Speaker 6: behind on their mortgage payment and their child support and 496 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,239 Speaker 6: you know the court costs for their DWI, and so 497 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:14,920 Speaker 6: they're trying to tack on every little thing they can 498 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:19,399 Speaker 6: to a sell and it creates a very very acrimonious relationship, 499 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 6: a contentious, adverse relationship between the customer and the salesman 500 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,879 Speaker 6: who is pushing all of these things that the person 501 00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:30,719 Speaker 6: doesn't need. And I mean, look, I got to tell 502 00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:32,440 Speaker 6: you right now, when I go in to buy something. 503 00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,720 Speaker 6: If I go into a store to buy something and 504 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:37,120 Speaker 6: I get to the cash register and they go, would 505 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:37,439 Speaker 6: you like this? 506 00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: No, would you like that? Okay? 507 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:41,600 Speaker 6: Let me and I now say to them, I've had 508 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,920 Speaker 6: to be an ass about it. Look, I'm not giving 509 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 6: you my information, none of it. And I'm not signing 510 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:49,960 Speaker 6: up for anything and I'm not paying for anything extra. 511 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,720 Speaker 6: If you want to check me out for this right here. 512 00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:53,600 Speaker 1: We could do this. 513 00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,439 Speaker 6: Otherwise I will leave, and I'm okay leaving, and it 514 00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:57,520 Speaker 6: shouldn't have to come to that. 515 00:27:57,600 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 1: I agree with that. 516 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,160 Speaker 6: I'm not sure commissions were the problem, but I agree 517 00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 6: with you that they've they've taken how many businesses have 518 00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:07,159 Speaker 6: taken the joy out of the transaction? 519 00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 1: Robert, what is your executive order? 520 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:10,119 Speaker 9: Go ahead? 521 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:16,399 Speaker 7: My executive order is keep deporting until I don't have 522 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,000 Speaker 7: to press one for English. 523 00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,040 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, say that again. 524 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:26,360 Speaker 7: Keep deporting until I don't have to press one for English. 525 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 1: Keep deporting until you don't have to press one for English. 526 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,600 Speaker 1: All right, I got it. Jeff, you're on the Michael 527 00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:34,120 Speaker 1: Berry Show. What is your executive order? 528 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 3: Michael? 529 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 7: We need to eliminate the federal minimum wage. 530 00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 6: You know, it's an interesting thing, isn't it, Because the 531 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 6: federal minimum wage only comes into effect for the positions that. 532 00:28:52,360 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 1: Require the least amount of value added. 533 00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 6: Do you have a company that that hires people at 534 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:05,560 Speaker 6: minimum wage? No, we don't, but I'll tell you it's 535 00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 6: an interesting conversation I have with many people when we 536 00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 6: talk about minimum wage, and they will tell you that 537 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,720 Speaker 6: any employee that will work for minimum wage in today's 538 00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:20,760 Speaker 6: society is your least desirable. And if people are honest, 539 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 6: especially on the left, if they're honest, when you get 540 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:26,200 Speaker 6: deep into this conversation, they'll say, well, what about people 541 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,120 Speaker 6: with a felony? And what about people with this problem? 542 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 6: And what about people with this So now what you 543 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 6: are doing is a guaranteed floor for the worst in society. 544 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 6: What if we allow a state of nature and people fail. 545 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 6: What if we say the marketplace will. 546 00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 1: Set the revenues. 547 00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 6: If the government is having to tell a company how 548 00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 6: much they have to pay you, that means you're not 549 00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:56,360 Speaker 6: worth that much to the company. Because wages are an 550 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,080 Speaker 6: interesting thing people have been taught to everybody gets a 551 00:29:59,120 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 6: trophy and everybody happy, and everybody's valuable. And that's just 552 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 6: not true. Tom Brady is not equally valuable to the 553 00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:11,040 Speaker 6: third string punter on the team. It's just not And 554 00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:15,480 Speaker 6: their salaries are commensurate with that. People who feel like 555 00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 6: they are underpaid need to understand. If you're making let's 556 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 6: fill in the number fifty thousand dollars a year. If 557 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 6: you're making fifty thousand dollars a year and you are 558 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 6: underpaid at your company, you simply need to start picking 559 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,920 Speaker 6: up the phone and calling other companies who need someone 560 00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 6: who does what you do and say I'll come to 561 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:38,320 Speaker 6: work whatever. What are you worth sixty seventy eighty, set 562 00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:41,360 Speaker 6: your rate, Say hey, I'll come to work for you 563 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 6: for this amount of money, and if they accept it, 564 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 6: you have just validated your position. 565 00:30:47,600 --> 00:30:50,960 Speaker 1: You are in fact worth that to someone else. 566 00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:52,400 Speaker 6: Now you might not be to the company you're at 567 00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 6: because the company may not be able to monetize your 568 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:58,080 Speaker 6: unique and extraordinary skills, but okay, somebody else may be 569 00:30:58,160 --> 00:30:58,520 Speaker 6: able to. 570 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,959 Speaker 1: Or the other companies go, we can't pay you that. 571 00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:05,520 Speaker 1: And if they. 572 00:31:05,360 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 6: Can't pay you that, then you're not worth that. You see, 573 00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,520 Speaker 6: you're worth what someone will pay you. And if you 574 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,040 Speaker 6: can't get anybody to pay you, but you're really, really, 575 00:31:14,080 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 6: really good and you're convinced of it, then leave and 576 00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,720 Speaker 6: start your own business. Oh well, I count Okay, then 577 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 6: you're not worth that because somebody else had to start 578 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 6: a business. Wages are unfortunately a mirror to value, and 579 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 6: people don't want to admit they don't want to process that. 580 00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:36,560 Speaker 6: They're simply not that valuable. If you're not a person who. 581 00:31:36,400 --> 00:31:40,160 Speaker 1: Can add value to a company. 582 00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 6: Compared to the rest of the labor market, then you're 583 00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:46,800 Speaker 6: not going to get paid that way. It's not a 584 00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:51,800 Speaker 6: charitable contribution. That's not what wages are. If you're the 585 00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:55,360 Speaker 6: guy that can program a computer to make it do 586 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 6: what it does, that they get paid for billions of 587 00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 6: dollars and you say I'm leaving and I'm going next door, 588 00:32:01,080 --> 00:32:02,480 Speaker 6: they're going to start negotiating. 589 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:07,240 Speaker 1: So make yourself valuable hard work. I work hard. 590 00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 6: That's very rarely the basis upon which you're paid value added. 591 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:15,160 Speaker 1: How are you adding value to that company? What can 592 00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:18,160 Speaker 1: they not replace if you leave? That's how you earn 593 00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:18,920 Speaker 1: higher wages. 594 00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:20,720 Speaker 6: And if you're a person that has to have the 595 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:25,240 Speaker 6: government set a wage, that's basically charity, that's welfare because 596 00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 6: you're not worth that. If you were worth that, they 597 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,520 Speaker 6: wouldn't be required to pay you that you'd be able 598 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:30,240 Speaker 6: to demand it.
