1 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:11,559 Speaker 1: It's that time time, time, time, luck and load. The 2 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,160 Speaker 1: Michael Verie Show is on the air. 3 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:37,800 Speaker 2: The mom said, I did a half assed job of 4 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,520 Speaker 2: trying to describe what most women are doing all day 5 00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:44,480 Speaker 2: and why they don't have time to focus on what's 6 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 2: going on with DC. I thought I did a pretty 7 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 2: good job of explaining that I don't understand women. I 8 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,840 Speaker 2: don't understand most men, and I am one, all right, 9 00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 2: I'll do my best. I think that most women, not all. 10 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,240 Speaker 2: I think that most women wake up in the morning 11 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 2: feeling well, here's the problem, and this is what I 12 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:14,280 Speaker 2: didn't want to say, But since you've jabbed me about it, 13 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:19,960 Speaker 2: I'm gonna address this. If I claim to say, if 14 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 2: I claim that this is what most men feel and 15 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 2: go through and do, I don't get a bunch of 16 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:33,320 Speaker 2: men going you don't know, even if that's not their 17 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 2: life or their thoughts. But women have this hang up 18 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,360 Speaker 2: that we don't understand them because we don't have a 19 00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 2: period and we don't give birth, and we're not a 20 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:45,320 Speaker 2: mommy and we're not a And I was trying to 21 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,680 Speaker 2: acknowledge that without saying it. But since you're gonna, for 22 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 2: some reason, make a big deal out of this. Here's 23 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 2: what I would say most women, most not all, but 24 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 2: most women are. 25 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: They wake up in the morning. 26 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 2: And they have an a in their heart and a 27 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 2: frenetic mind as to is everybody in my pack okay? 28 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 2: Are my children okay? Is my husband okay? Or at 29 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 2: least are my children okay? And then they begin the 30 00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,920 Speaker 2: process that most men don't go through, and that is 31 00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 2: getting their kids up, dressed, fed, prepared, off to school, 32 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 2: and worrying. I think women spend a lot of time worrying. 33 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 2: It's natural. They're the primary caretaker. God plants that seed 34 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 2: in them. Worrying about their kids, whether their kids are 35 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 2: okay mentally, physically, whether they're socially adjusted, how they're doing 36 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 2: in school, all these things they worry about their kids, 37 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 2: and I think that occupies a lot of energy, a 38 00:02:55,639 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 2: lot of energy. And then, depending on their relationship, some 39 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 2: women more or less than others, getting their husband ready 40 00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 2: to go to work if they work outside the home, 41 00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 2: getting themselves ready for work, which is a much bigger 42 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:17,119 Speaker 2: ordeal than it is for men. Worrying about what they're 43 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 2: going to wear, how they're going to look, never feeling 44 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 2: like they look good. Women never think they look good, 45 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,360 Speaker 2: and then you've got to look just like men do 46 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 2: in the mirror at I. 47 00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: Don't look as good as I used to. 48 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 2: And that's true for most people, and it will continue 49 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 2: to be true until the day we die. That's the 50 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 2: nature of the process. It's true in every species. And 51 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 2: so then there's all that. Then there's trying to cram 52 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 2: oneself into an outfit we both we bought ten or 53 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 2: twenty years ago, and she's trying to make that fit. 54 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 2: She doesn't feel like she looks good. She's looking in 55 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 2: the mirror. She's starting to run late. She's got to 56 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:05,600 Speaker 2: get there. She's hungry and late and worried, and so 57 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 2: now she's got to get into the office or the 58 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:12,640 Speaker 2: classroom or wherever she's worked, the hospital. So she's going 59 00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 2: in and you see it on their face. Most women 60 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 2: when they come, you know, buzzing into the workplace, they 61 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 2: look like they you know, they've just been through a 62 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 2: roller coaster ride and now they have to start to work. 63 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 2: So you can kind of see that this is an 64 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 2: all encompassing thing. There's not a lot of time the 65 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,640 Speaker 2: way political consultants and politicians in media do to stop 66 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:39,960 Speaker 2: and ponder what Trump's up to or what the government's 67 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 2: up to, or whether you know this regulation will affect us. 68 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: In this way. And then there is the workday. 69 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 2: They're the first call when the kid's six, so they 70 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 2: got to go get the kid and bring them home. 71 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 2: They're the first call when the kid's in trouble at school, 72 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,479 Speaker 2: or they got to call the school because somebody's picking 73 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:00,240 Speaker 2: on their kid, or the teacher is bothering their kid. 74 00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:02,200 Speaker 1: You know, Lord knows what else is going on. 75 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 2: They tend to take more care of what's going on 76 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,240 Speaker 2: at home and with the parents, so they got to 77 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 2: check on their parents during all of this. They tend 78 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 2: to be more nurturing and empathetic toward their fellow workers, 79 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 2: so they'll borrow problems. A lot of women will borrow problems. 80 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 2: So if there's especially if there's another woman in the workplace, 81 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 2: and they'll worry about you know, she's unhappy in her marriage, 82 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 2: or she's unhappy as a parent, or she needs advice. 83 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 2: They love, love, love to worry over another woman and 84 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 2: give them advice. Men won't do this. We are crass, 85 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:38,480 Speaker 2: we're individualistic. You see this in a lot of species 86 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,320 Speaker 2: where the male doesn't have time for the pack he's 87 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,360 Speaker 2: out for him. He wants to eat and have sex 88 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 2: and then sleep, and that's kind of his thing, whereas 89 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 2: you've got the female who's keeping this whole species alive. 90 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 2: It's how we're built, right, God, God made us this way. 91 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 2: You don't need to tell me that you're the exception 92 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 2: to the rule. There's an exception to every rule, okay, 93 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:05,160 Speaker 2: but by and large these things are true. 94 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,240 Speaker 1: And so then she finishes her work day. 95 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 2: She's beat, her makeup is worn off, she's hungry, but 96 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 2: she knows that eating too much will make her fat. 97 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: She doesn't want to be fat. 98 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,559 Speaker 2: Most people struggle with fat a lot of their time 99 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,240 Speaker 2: and how they look a lot of their time. In fact, 100 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 2: we were talking about it. Ramon thought we should coming 101 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 2: up for the last two segments. 102 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:29,920 Speaker 1: I think we will. 103 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:34,320 Speaker 2: Jim Mudd, our creative director, really liked an interview we 104 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 2: did this morning. I was talking I don't remember what 105 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 2: brought it up, but I was talking about massive weight 106 00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 2: loss and how if you talk to somebody who's had 107 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 2: massive weight loss, it's like they've. 108 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: Won the lottery. 109 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 2: You know, most Americans, I don't know most a lot 110 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:56,560 Speaker 2: of Americans struggle with weight and they don't feel like 111 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 2: they look good. But more importantly, they know that it's 112 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 2: a affecting their health. Right, they got high blood pressure, 113 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 2: they've got their heart doctors tell. 114 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: Him they need to lose weight. There's all these things that. 115 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,960 Speaker 2: You know, when a lot of people smoke cigarettes, the 116 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 2: doctors would harass you about stopping smoking cigarettes. But and 117 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 2: people could stop. It's hard, but they could stop. Then 118 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 2: the trade off is they put on weight. But people 119 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 2: that are carrying extra weight. Oh, I know what it was. 120 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:30,600 Speaker 2: Jelly Roll did an interview with Joe Rogan and Jelly 121 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:33,679 Speaker 2: Roll has lost three hundred pounds and he was talking 122 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 2: about he went for a run in the rain or 123 00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 2: a walk in the rain. The first day you know 124 00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:41,280 Speaker 2: he's going to start an exercise program, he goes for 125 00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:43,920 Speaker 2: a walk in the rain. His wife said, you know, 126 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,120 Speaker 2: you know what, why don't you start on It was 127 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 2: a Tuesday. Boy, he said, don't you start tomorrow when 128 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 2: it's not raining. And he went out went for the 129 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 2: walk anyway, because he knew if he didn't start now, 130 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 2: he never would. And he didn't realize how worried his 131 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 2: family was over him. So when he's coming back at 132 00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 2: the end of his ten thousand steps, which he was 133 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 2: to term to do even in the rain, and he's 134 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 2: coming up the. 135 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: Hill as he crosses. 136 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,040 Speaker 2: As he crests the hill, his family is waiting on 137 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 2: his porch and they're cheering for him, and he got 138 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 2: so choked up. Hell, I got choked up watching it, 139 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 2: thinking that they're all rooting for him. 140 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 1: And he told that story. 141 00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,880 Speaker 2: Anyway, we had a guy that called in today about 142 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 2: losing three hundred and fifty pounds, and I thought it. 143 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,280 Speaker 1: Was very inspiring. And I think you're right. 144 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 2: We're going to play that at least in the last segment, 145 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 2: maybe the last two. 146 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:33,319 Speaker 1: We'll see how emailing me and saying, yes, she's gone 147 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:34,200 Speaker 1: and I'm. 148 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:38,160 Speaker 2: Painting a bleak picture. It's not that bad, not meant 149 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 2: to be that bad. All I'm trained to say is 150 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,319 Speaker 2: that when you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail. 151 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 2: If you live in d C and you work in DC, 152 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:54,320 Speaker 2: you think the people back home are idiots because they 153 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 2: don't know the name of the senator of their state 154 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 2: or what bill passed or what's happening. They're all idiots. 155 00:09:01,120 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 2: They're not idiots. They're busy living their lives. Life is 156 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 2: not easy. You've got your personal life. You've got the 157 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,679 Speaker 2: people you care for, the people you take care of, 158 00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,280 Speaker 2: the company you work for, or the company you lead. 159 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:18,959 Speaker 2: These are all things that take a lot of our 160 00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,319 Speaker 2: time and energy. We don't have a lot left over 161 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,920 Speaker 2: for this cottage industry that has taken over our country 162 00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:30,160 Speaker 2: called politics. It was never designed to be that way. 163 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 2: Quite the opposite. The farmer, the surveyor the mercantil owner 164 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 2: was supposed to put down his shovel, walk down and 165 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 2: serve the same way you would for a homeown association 166 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:52,400 Speaker 2: president or school board member do his public duty because 167 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 2: it had to be done and then come home. And 168 00:09:56,400 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 2: we allowed it to happen. People get up there and 169 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 2: won't leave and get rich off of it. Vote out 170 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,000 Speaker 2: John Cornyn in the state of Texas, period into story. 171 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:13,840 Speaker 2: He's been there too damn long. We need term limits. 172 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 2: You've got term limits. It's called elections. You keep voting 173 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 2: for your same incumbents. But then you say you can't 174 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 2: help yourself. You want you want a system that doesn't 175 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,199 Speaker 2: allow you who to choose for, who to choose to 176 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,360 Speaker 2: vote for, Just choose not to vote for the incumbent. 177 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:31,199 Speaker 1: It ain't hard. 178 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:38,839 Speaker 2: Democrats have been trying to make affordability an issue, all 179 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 2: the while ignoring the actual root cause of the rising prices. 180 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 2: President Trump put the blame where it belonged, at the 181 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 2: foot of the Biden administration. 182 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 1: That's who caused all this. 183 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,960 Speaker 3: Here at home, we're bringing our ecouontomy back from the 184 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 3: brink of ruin to last administration and their allies in 185 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:03,480 Speaker 3: Congress looted our treasury for trillions of dollars, driving up 186 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 3: prices and everything at levels never seen before. I am 187 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 3: bringing those high prices down and bringing them down very fast. 188 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 3: Let's look at the facts. Under the Biden administration, car 189 00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,960 Speaker 3: prices rose twenty two percent and in many states thirty 190 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 3: percent or more. Gasoline rose thirty to fifty percent. Hotel 191 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 3: rates rose thirty seven percent, airfares rose thirty one percent. 192 00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 3: Now under our leadership, they are all coming down, and 193 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:36,719 Speaker 3: coming down fast. Democrat politicians also sent the cost of. 194 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 1: Grocery storing, but we are solving that too. 195 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,880 Speaker 3: The price of a Thanksgiving turkey was down thirty three 196 00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 3: percent compared to the Biden last year. The price of 197 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,559 Speaker 3: eggs is down eighty two percent since March, and everything 198 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 3: else is falling rapidly and it's not done yet, but boy, 199 00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:58,840 Speaker 3: are we making progress. Nobody can believe what's going on. 200 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 3: Just some of the efforts that we have underway. You 201 00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 3: will see in your Wallace and bank accounts in the 202 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 3: new year. 203 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 2: That's a very very smart presentation. When you talk about 204 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 2: the growth of GDP or the growth of debt or 205 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 2: the growth of the deficit, that's a number that doesn't 206 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,400 Speaker 2: mean anything to people. When you talk about the cost 207 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:28,679 Speaker 2: of a Thanksgiving turkey, every red blooded American bought a 208 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:33,480 Speaker 2: Thanksgiving turkey. By the way, Ramon, what is up with 209 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,960 Speaker 2: these people who don't serve turkey on Thanksgiving? There are 210 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 2: more and more people doing this. I think this is 211 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 2: a decay in our society. I want you to identify yourself. 212 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,480 Speaker 2: I want you to resolve you're never. 213 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,720 Speaker 1: Going to do this. I've got buddies who. 214 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 2: Have family traditions where they barbecue on Thanksgiving. I had 215 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:58,240 Speaker 2: a listener a couple of weeks ago saying they were 216 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,200 Speaker 2: coming to Houston because they're getting cancer track MD Anderson 217 00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 2: and that their tradition is they eat Chinese food on Thanksgiving. 218 00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 1: I looked at the name. It didn't seem to be Chinese. 219 00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:12,839 Speaker 2: I asked, and they said, no, we just like to 220 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 2: eat Chinese food on Thanksgiving. Now I'll tell you where 221 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:21,800 Speaker 2: that started. Chinamen open on Christmas because they don't celebrate Christmas. 222 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 2: So if it's kind I think that's kind of a 223 00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 2: Seinfeld or Section the City kind of deal. Like everybody knows, 224 00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:31,960 Speaker 2: you know, because what happens is people live in the South, 225 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,280 Speaker 2: they go to work on Wall Street, or they go 226 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,559 Speaker 2: to work in Hollywood, or they go to work on 227 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 2: one of the coasts, and they don't go home for Thanksgiving, 228 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,120 Speaker 2: so they're there alone. So they end up going to 229 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,720 Speaker 2: whatever is open on Christmas, and that's the Chinese food restaurant. 230 00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 2: But I'm hoping the President will decree that it is 231 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:54,559 Speaker 2: required that everybody must eat turkey and dressing on Thanksgiving 232 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 2: Day and nothing else. I think that would be a 233 00:13:58,040 --> 00:14:01,840 Speaker 2: good positive move. Like his move on marijuana today, he's 234 00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:07,080 Speaker 2: a good, solid move. President Trump laying out a very 235 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:12,200 Speaker 2: popular twenty twenty six year campaign year proposal, the largest 236 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 2: tax cuts in American history. 237 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 1: Next year, you. 238 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,720 Speaker 3: Will also see the results of the largest tax cuts 239 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 3: in American history that were really accomplished through our great, big, 240 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 3: beautiful bill, Perhaps the most sweeping legislation ever passed in Congress. 241 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 3: We wrapped twelve different bills up into one beautiful bill 242 00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 3: that includes no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, 243 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 3: and no tax on Social Security for our great seniors. 244 00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 3: Under these cuts, many families will be saving between eleven 245 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,400 Speaker 3: thousand and twenty thousand dollars a year, and next spring 246 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 3: is projected to be the largest tax refund season of 247 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 3: all time. 248 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 2: Well, the media won't tell you that, They'll just focus 249 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:02,880 Speaker 2: on mean tweets. And then Trump talked about something that's 250 00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:08,360 Speaker 2: kind of an underground constituency doesn't get enough attention. That 251 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:13,520 Speaker 2: is active duty troops in this country, active duty service 252 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:14,920 Speaker 2: members in this country. 253 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:20,600 Speaker 1: He announced what he called the Warrior Dividend.

Nobody deserves it more than our military, and 266 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 3: I say congratulations everybody. And by the way, we now 267 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,760 Speaker 3: have record enlistened in our military. And last year we 268 00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 3: had among the worst recruitment numbers in our military's history. 269 00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:19,479 Speaker 1: What a difference a year, mix. 270 00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 2: What a difference in elections from your vote. 271 00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 4: Matters today to the colonial House apartments and received a 272 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 4: free and we're recorded. 273 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 2: The greatest supergroup of all time courses the Hogward But 274 00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 2: of the great supergroups, I'm gonna tell you something. If 275 00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 2: that song right there spoke to you, that version of 276 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:54,560 Speaker 2: that song, I will tell you this, so Charlie Pride number. 277 00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 2: But that group is called the Texas Tornadoes. And there 278 00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 2: is a lot about Texas. If you're not from Texas, 279 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 2: and I'm going to tell you would really surprise you 280 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 2: because people think of Texas as Audi Murphy as you know, 281 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:15,440 Speaker 2: John Wayne and the Alamo and all that is true, 282 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 2: that is Texas. 283 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:17,440 Speaker 1: It's very Texas. 284 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:22,280 Speaker 2: They think of a cowboy and a horse and a dusty, 285 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 2: flat prairie tumbleweeds, land man. All of that is true. 286 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:34,359 Speaker 2: But Texas is so much more than just that. That's 287 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:39,800 Speaker 2: that's the stock. Right after that, you're cutting up stuff 288 00:17:39,840 --> 00:17:42,880 Speaker 2: and putting it in there for color and flavor and texture. 289 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:49,400 Speaker 2: That song right there encompasses to meet what Texas is 290 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 2: to me, because you're getting the influence of the different 291 00:17:53,640 --> 00:18:00,320 Speaker 2: groups that make the state special. It's called Conjunto music, 292 00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 2: which is interestingly, interestingly enough, a fusion of German music 293 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:14,040 Speaker 2: and a Mexican style of music called Northano and conjunto 294 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:21,360 Speaker 2: was performed by both white and Mexican and Tejano artists, 295 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,879 Speaker 2: and it kind of fused together and it became something 296 00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 2: that went mainstream that is neither distinctly Texan, nor distinctly Mexican, 297 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 2: nor distinctly German. And that's what makes it so damn cool. 298 00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,879 Speaker 2: And you're getting all of those elements in there. The instrumentation, 299 00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:45,479 Speaker 2: that the arrangement, the cover of a traditional, very very 300 00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 2: country song by a country artist who also happened to 301 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 2: be black, who also happened to start his professional life 302 00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:53,160 Speaker 2: in the Negro leagues. 303 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: Charlie Proude is no end of fascinating. 304 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,159 Speaker 2: I think it's from Mississippi originally, but the group is 305 00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:04,040 Speaker 2: called the Texas Tornadoes, and they're considered a Tejano supergroup 306 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 2: and uh, and it's it's four guys that are legends 307 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 2: that are probably not known uh as widely as as 308 00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:15,040 Speaker 2: I would hope they would be named. 309 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:15,960 Speaker 1: Uh. 310 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,240 Speaker 2: Freddie Fender one of my all time favorites from South Texas. 311 00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:22,760 Speaker 2: He's from not really from Corpus. I think he's from 312 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 2: sam Benito. Uh, I'm not sure he was. He was 313 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,280 Speaker 2: Baltimar Webb, though you had the good sense to change 314 00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 2: his name to Freddy Fender. But so you have Freddie Fender. Uh, 315 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:39,200 Speaker 2: don't interrupt, merong, Doug som Augie Myers. I always forget 316 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,959 Speaker 2: Augie Myers, but I remembered him now. And who oh 317 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 2: Flaco Flaco hum it is?

The Tornadoes performed on wasn't Letterman, 321 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 2: Wasn't I think it was? Maybe it was Letterman? And 322 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,399 Speaker 2: I think they had a two Night run. I watched 323 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 2: this on YouTube a year or so ago. This was 324 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 2: a long time ago, and you could tell whoever the 325 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,000 Speaker 2: host was. It wasn't Carson. I want to say it 326 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,879 Speaker 2: was Letterman. You could tell whoever the host was didn't 327 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,120 Speaker 2: get them. So somebody who was booking had the good 328 00:20:21,119 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 2: sense to go, hey, here's a man you wouldn't know about. 329 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:27,440 Speaker 2: But a certain sector, a certain segment of society will 330 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:31,119 Speaker 2: be impressed that you knew who they were. And you know, 331 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,240 Speaker 2: they kind of went up in my esteem for doing that. 332 00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 2: I thought it was cool. But they're called the Texas Tornadoes. 333 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 2: Why did I tell you that? I don't even know. 334 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,879 Speaker 2: I don't know that I needed to, But since Ramon 335 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:43,840 Speaker 2: played it and I'm in a good mood, I thought 336 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 2: we'd do that. 337 00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:47,600 Speaker 1: President Trump said something in his speech last night. This 338 00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:48,840 Speaker 1: is going to be clip five zero two. 339 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 3: Roman. 340 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 2: I forgot to get this earlier. You know, I was 341 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 2: talking about the average life of a man and woman, 342 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,400 Speaker 2: and I didn't mean it to sound bleak. Apparently I did. 343 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,679 Speaker 2: A lot of you said that. That's not my point. 344 00:20:58,760 --> 00:21:02,160 Speaker 2: What I was trying to say is we're all busy 345 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 2: in the moment. We're trying to get through this moment. 346 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 2: We're trying to survive, keep it all together. But we 347 00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 2: have a lingering paul over the nation that things are 348 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,280 Speaker 2: not good. We may not be able to tell you 349 00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:28,240 Speaker 2: why they're not good. Using statistical economic data, wage rates, 350 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 2: savings rates. We know that credit card debt is higher 351 00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 2: than's ever been. We know that student loan debt is 352 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 2: higher that's ever been. Whatever that number is, I can 353 00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:39,639 Speaker 2: tell you you're going to forget it in two minutes. 354 00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:42,840 Speaker 2: But we have a sense that there is a sense 355 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 2: of impending doom, that things are not good in America. 356 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 2: And we've been told that by the Democrats who were 357 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:56,320 Speaker 2: in the process of making it. So President Trump said something, 358 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 2: and I think this is important. Every leader should inspire 359 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:06,800 Speaker 2: their people, not with false promises, not with silly slogans. 360 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,440 Speaker 2: There has to be action to a company. But but 361 00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:15,000 Speaker 2: Trump does something that should not be as unique as 362 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,359 Speaker 2: it is. It should be more common, and that is 363 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:22,520 Speaker 2: that he says this country has a big future. In 364 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:26,280 Speaker 2: nineteen eighty four, Ed Rollins ran the Reagan campaign and 365 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 2: the messaging was it's morning in America and the idea 366 00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 2: was four years into this presidency, I'm asking for four more. 367 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 2: This is the start of America, not the end. There's 368 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:44,479 Speaker 2: a certain hint of that in what Trump says here tonight. 369 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 3: After eleven months, our border is secure, Inflation has stopped, 370 00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 3: wages are up, prices are down, Our nation is strong, 371 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:58,160 Speaker 3: America is respected, and our country is back, stronger than 372 00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 3: ever before. They're boys for an economic boom the likes 373 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,080 Speaker 3: of which the world has never seen. 374 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 2: America is back, that's what we want. The left doesn't 375 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:15,399 Speaker 2: want that. The left thinks that a bold, proud America 376 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:21,199 Speaker 2: is arrogant. They resent it, they don't like it. They 377 00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:22,080 Speaker 2: want it to fail. 378 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 1: That is true. 379 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,200 Speaker 2: They want America to fail. They want you to fail. 380 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:28,720 Speaker 2: They want me to fail. They want Trump to fail. 381 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 2: They're doubtful, they're guilt ridden, they're angry, they're bitter, they're resentful. 382 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,520 Speaker 2: They want this nation to fail, and they've done everything 383 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:40,439 Speaker 2: they can to make it so. 384 00:23:41,800 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: But we won't let them. 385 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:47,439 Speaker 2: And finally we have a president who we can be 386 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,680 Speaker 2: proud of, who is proud of us, and who is 387 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,199 Speaker 2: proud of America. Just stop for a moment in the 388 00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,600 Speaker 2: midst of everything else and enjoy this moment, because that 389 00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 2: hadn't happened in a long time. 390 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: The Michael Berry Show. Michael Berry Show. 391 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 2: Which you note puts me in a good mood every time, 392 00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:13,919 Speaker 2: and Texas Tornado is playing it no less im and 393 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:19,159 Speaker 2: then we get to close the show with Keith Whitley. 394 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,679 Speaker 1: This is a good day. Thank you, Reymanning. If I 395 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:29,200 Speaker 1: forget to thank you, Stranger to the Rain, I cooks 396 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:33,120 Speaker 1: botty bad shadow. 397 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 2: President Trump signed an executive order earlier today that would 398 00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:43,000 Speaker 2: reschedule marijuana to a lower drug classification. 399 00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,520 Speaker 1: This will ease federal restrictions. 400 00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 2: It is not full legalization, but it is closer to decriminalization. 401 00:24:56,640 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 3: I want to emphasize that the order I am about 402 00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:07,560 Speaker 3: to sign not the legalization or does it legalize marijuana 403 00:25:07,640 --> 00:25:11,000 Speaker 3: in any way, shape or form. In no way sanctions 404 00:25:11,080 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 3: it's use as a recreational drug, has nothing to do 405 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 3: with it. 406 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,160 Speaker 1: At the same time, the facts. 407 00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,119 Speaker 3: Compel the federal government to recognize that marijuana can be 408 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:25,920 Speaker 3: legitimate in terms of medical applications when carefully administered. In 409 00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:29,720 Speaker 3: some cases, this may include the use as a substitute 410 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 3: for addictive and potentially lethal opioid painkillers, and they cause 411 00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 3: tremendous problems. This can do it in a much lesser way. 412 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 3: Can make people feel much better. This reclassification order will 413 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,440 Speaker 3: make it far easier to conduct marijuana related medical research, 414 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:54,000 Speaker 3: allowing us to study benefits, potential dangers, and future treatments. 415 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,920 Speaker 3: It's going to have a tremendously positive impact. I believe. 416 00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 3: We're also asking Congress to reconsider a classification of hemp 417 00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 3: derived CBD to ensure seniors can access CBD products they 418 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:12,400 Speaker 3: have found beneficial for pain and other reasons. 419 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 1: Here's the goop from it. Who was that? 420 00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:20,960 Speaker 2: I am well aware that a number of you are 421 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,600 Speaker 2: going to disagree with my position on this, and you're 422 00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 2: going to say, Michael, dope is bad. People ought not 423 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 2: to do it. And all I ask this is all 424 00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 2: I've ever asked. You don't have to agree with me. 425 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,119 Speaker 2: You can momentarily hate me for a position I have 426 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:44,159 Speaker 2: on this or that. That's part of what I do. 427 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,639 Speaker 2: I make statements. You get to react, But all I 428 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:52,840 Speaker 2: ask you to do is think anew about this. You 429 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:54,479 Speaker 2: know I didn't care for spinach when I was a kid. 430 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 1: I like it now. There was a point where I 431 00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 1: tried it again and I liked it now. As we grow, 432 00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:03,080 Speaker 1: as we. 433 00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:10,119 Speaker 2: Have experiences, sometimes we notice things. Sometimes we grow to 434 00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:15,119 Speaker 2: different opinions on things. Well, let me ask you this, 435 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:22,399 Speaker 2: is it really your job to tell people adults what 436 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:23,880 Speaker 2: they can and cannot. 437 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,159 Speaker 3: Do, is it? 438 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 2: And if your answer is yes, because I want you 439 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 2: to ask yourself if that is a freedom loving position, 440 00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:41,200 Speaker 2: because you say you're freedom loving, but you don't believe 441 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 2: that a person in the comfort of their own home 442 00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 2: should be able to use a product a drug. And 443 00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:55,040 Speaker 2: then you say, yeah, I get this one a lot. Yeah, 444 00:27:55,080 --> 00:28:00,320 Speaker 2: but it makes you not work as hard. Okay, eating 445 00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 2: too much? Are we going to make that illegal? Sort 446 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:05,119 Speaker 2: of staying up all night? 447 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 1: We're going to make that illegal. 448 00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 2: Are we really in the business of passing laws to 449 00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:16,560 Speaker 2: prevent people from doing things that will make them less productive? 450 00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 2: We're now the productivity police. That's not freedom. 451 00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:24,959 Speaker 1: Good grief. Do you hear yourself? All right? 452 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:30,399 Speaker 2: The next one is, well, Michael, I'm upset because my 453 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:33,040 Speaker 2: son is hooked on her and my son took this drow. 454 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 1: He had an overdose. 455 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:34,119 Speaker 4: He had a. 456 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 2: Properly grown marijuana will not cause overdoses nor addiction. 457 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 1: I don't care if you agree with me. I believe 458 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 1: this to be true. 459 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 2: I can guarantee you that there's about a ninety nine 460 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 2: percent likelihood that I've spent more time studying the issue 461 00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 2: than you have. 462 00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 1: Oh will you just do dope? 463 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:56,520 Speaker 3: No? 464 00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 1: Actually I don't, but I would. In fact, if I 465 00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 1: could make it work for me, I would move from. 466 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 2: Alcohol to that because it doesn't destroy your liver in 467 00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 2: a second, I would do it. I'd even risk it 468 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 2: being illegal to do it. But it doesn't do anything 469 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 2: for me. I tried the edibles and I did twenty 470 00:29:23,840 --> 00:29:27,160 Speaker 2: milligrams because I'm stupid, because I didn't know how many 471 00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:31,080 Speaker 2: milligrams to dose. And I did four pods when each 472 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 2: one was a five, and it gave me the worst trip. 473 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 2: And I'm not a tripper. 474 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:35,600 Speaker 1: I'm not a guy. 475 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,280 Speaker 2: I don't do psychedelic drugs. I like to be in 476 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 2: control at all times. I'm one of those people had 477 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 2: a horrible trip and freaked me out. So then I 478 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:48,000 Speaker 2: tried it later because I had a doctor who told me, 479 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:49,360 Speaker 2: you know, it'd be better for you. 480 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 1: I get it. 481 00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 2: You get home at night, you're wound up. You're wired up. 482 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 2: You have trouble going to sleep. You have trouble stop reading, 483 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:59,000 Speaker 2: stop thinking, stop writing, stop recording. 484 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:00,600 Speaker 1: But you got to go to bed so you can 485 00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 1: get up in the morning. 486 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,280 Speaker 2: I had a doctor tell me, I think you'd be 487 00:30:04,360 --> 00:30:07,400 Speaker 2: a great candidate to smoke a joint or do a 488 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 2: do an edible didn't do anything for me, and so 489 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 2: what's the point? And so that was kind of where 490 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 2: I left it. I can dose bourbon, beer or red wine. 491 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 2: Bourbon's my preference, and it gives me a night, it 492 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:25,080 Speaker 2: calms me down. 493 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 1: I got it. 494 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 2: People judge other people's what they do with their time 495 00:30:29,640 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 2: because you're so perfect. But let me say this, I 496 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,960 Speaker 2: don't understand how somebody gets to be six hundred pounds 497 00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 2: like my guest this morning. 498 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,520 Speaker 1: But he did, and he's not a bad person. 499 00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:45,720 Speaker 2: He's got compulsions, he's got neuroses, he's got cravings that 500 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 2: I don't have or that I'm able to control better. 501 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 2: You know, there are a lot of people who ended 502 00:30:53,960 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 2: up using marijuana CBD because they have had arthritis, and 503 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 2: they tried every drug that the pharmaceutical company could sell them, 504 00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 2: and none of them gave them relief. You ever seen 505 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:13,920 Speaker 2: somebody who's suffering. It's hurtful, it's it's it's it's it's 506 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,640 Speaker 2: it's horrible to watch. I don't want to watch old 507 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:20,520 Speaker 2: people suffer. I don't want to watch our veterans come 508 00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:25,280 Speaker 2: back from war and suffer when we've seen that marijuana 509 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:28,320 Speaker 2: can help many of them. You know, there's a law 510 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 2: enforcement group called LEAP, Law Enforcement Against Prohibition. My late 511 00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 2: brother was not a member of LEAP because he was 512 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 2: still active duty. But my late brother said, if I 513 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 2: could be king, I'd outlaw alcohol and give out free 514 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:49,000 Speaker 2: marijuana because everybody's calm, nobody wants to fight, nobody wants 515 00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 2: to beat their their girlfriend up. You don't have to 516 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,280 Speaker 2: agree with me on this point, but just all I'm 517 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:59,360 Speaker 2: asking is actually think about it anew. The people who 518 00:31:59,440 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 2: told you maryor Ijana was so bad was the alcohol industry. 519 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 2: That's who's still doing. It's happening in Texas today we 520 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:07,120 Speaker 2: had the lieutenant governor out claiming that it was reefer 521 00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 2: madness all over again. 522 00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,120 Speaker 1: You're gonna die. People are gonna die. 523 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:13,560 Speaker 2: People are gonna die from the synthetic crap that they 524 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 2: do in order to make it legal so they can 525 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,200 Speaker 2: put it on the If you let this natural. You know, 526 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:25,959 Speaker 2: my wife has a theory that we should eat natural herbs, spices, meats. 527 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 1: That's what we're meant to do. 528 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 2: That is a natural organic product, all this other stuff 529 00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 2: we make in plants, we make using synthetics. 530 00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:41,720 Speaker 1: We may, oh, that's horrible for you there. I don't 531 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:43,719 Speaker 1: expect you to like my position on it, but that's 532 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:49,760 Speaker 1: where I stand. Help us.
