I never really heard of West Point. 75 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 4: I had no clue of its existence or really any 76 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 4: of the academies other than just Army football, Air Force, Navy, 77 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:17,040 Speaker 4: et cetera. And so my first visit, you know, I 78 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,000 Speaker 4: wasn't really sure. You know, this was very different compared 79 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 4: to any other college that I've been to. And then 80 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,520 Speaker 4: my second visit for the spring game, you know, do 81 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 4: you get this these goosebumps?

And I want the challenge to 86 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 4: graduate from there and to have the opportunities that they 87 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:46,159 Speaker 4: can provide me. 88 00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 1: Are you eighteen, Isaac, Yes, sir, just turn eighteen. 89 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 3: I have a son who's a high school senior as well, 90 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 3: named Crockett marcos Berry. You know, at eighteen, you will 91 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 3: be enamored of the tradition of West Point. 92 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 1: But when you're my. 93 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 3: Age, which is fifty five, which is three times your age, 94 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 3: or I'm sure you think of as five hundred Methusela 95 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,520 Speaker 3: type thing. You will look back on that experience and 96 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:15,360 Speaker 3: the tradition and the fact that you were walking the 97 00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:20,479 Speaker 3: hallways and the steps of some of the greatest men 98 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 3: in this country's history. I don't know that that will 99 00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 3: fully sink in when you're eighteen nineteen twenty, but you 100 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:32,280 Speaker 3: will pull out the Howitzer the old yearbook when you're 101 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,679 Speaker 3: my age, and you will look back and say, Wow, 102 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 3: what an experience that was. 103 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:37,359 Speaker 1: And it will be. 104 00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 3: So your middle name is Stone, I've come to learn, 105 00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 3: and they call it Stony. That feels like the kind 106 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 3: of thing that when when George Shoemate sees his baby 107 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,920 Speaker 3: boy and has given him a name, says, I want 108 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,160 Speaker 3: a rock solid kid who's going to play middle linebacker, 109 00:05:54,240 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 3: and his middle name shall be Stone.

But in the March primary, which starts 519 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 3: on Monday, almost nobody votes. 520 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 1: What if three people voted for who. 521 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,280 Speaker 3: Would be our president and you were one of those three, 522 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:52,600 Speaker 3: you'd be feeling pretty good. All you have to do 523 00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:54,680 Speaker 3: is hope one of the other two votes with you, 524 00:27:54,760 --> 00:27:57,400 Speaker 3: and you got to elect our president. But your vote 525 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:03,400 Speaker 3: is extremely diluted, right dropping the ocean. Well, you're one 526 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:07,480 Speaker 3: of three in the primary. Very few people going to run. Okay, 527 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 3: let's start there. So your vote matters. That's not some 528 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:12,440 Speaker 3: bs hype. 529 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:14,960 Speaker 1: It matters. 530 00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,360 Speaker 3: It matters more than it normally. What number one, number two? 531 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,760 Speaker 3: From who your precinct chairman is, to your state rep 532 00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 3: to your state senator, to your congressman to your governor 533 00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:30,160 Speaker 3: to Yeah, it feels like a lot, and yes there 534 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 3: is noise, as they call it, like walking along the 535 00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:40,320 Speaker 3: strip in Las Vegas, and all of that can feel 536 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 3: like it's inducing an epileptic seizure. I get it, of 537 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 3: course it can. There is no reason to be angry 538 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 3: that candidates are running ads on radio or television. There's 539 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 3: no reason to be mad at them. I've been a candidate. 540 00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 3: Imagine for a moment that you're a candidate. You're Chad 541 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:06,440 Speaker 3: Knakanishi running for Congress in your district. Nobody knows you. 542 00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 3: But if you got there, you do the best you could. 543 00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:15,240 Speaker 3: You do the best for amara. You'd do the best 544 00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:17,960 Speaker 3: for your son, for your for your wife, for your 545 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 3: family's history and legacy and future. 546 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:24,040 Speaker 1: I mean you would, You would really do the best. 547 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 1: You'd be the. 548 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:28,400 Speaker 3: Best congressman ever, at least be most conscientious. But how 549 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 3: do you get people to know who you are? 550 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 1: How are you going to get it? 551 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 3: Well, if you can raise any money, which is very 552 00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 3: hard to do. People don't like to part with their money, 553 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 3: even rich people. If you could raise any money, then 554 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 3: you'd spend that money, say in your name again and 555 00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 3: again and again. How else are you ever going to 556 00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,920 Speaker 3: know their names? So it's kind of cognitive dissonance that 557 00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 3: we go I don't even know who is jackasses are 558 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 3: that are running And five minutes later we. 559 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,160 Speaker 1: Go always said top, tell us who they are. 560 00:29:58,240 --> 00:29:58,760 Speaker 3: They're running. 561 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 1: You're not a bad person. I'm not ridiculing you. 562 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:04,920 Speaker 3: You're doing the best you can. We all are. You 563 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,920 Speaker 3: got a lot going on. You're trying to figure out 564 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,800 Speaker 3: if your pubic hair is changing color. You're trying to 565 00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:14,760 Speaker 3: figure out if your stuff still works. You're hoping you 566 00:30:14,800 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 3: don't get a hemorrhoid. You just notice there's more hair 567 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,640 Speaker 3: in the toilet, I mean in the shower drain than usual. 568 00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 3: And you're not sure if that's you or your husband, 569 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,840 Speaker 3: but either way it ain't good. You got on the scale, 570 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 3: which you weren't going to do, and you're up three 571 00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 3: pounds from one weekend. You don't feel like. 572 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 1: Working out, but you know you need to. 573 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,480 Speaker 3: Okay, So we got a lot ahead of us. We're 574 00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 3: going to talk heavily about politics between now and March thirty. 575 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,520 Speaker 3: I always tell you, And now it's the time. We 576 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 3: don't talk politics every day because it isn't support for me. 577 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 3: It isn't a fun thing. It's important. It's a necessity, 578 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:54,400 Speaker 3: like taxes, all right, But when we do focus, we focus. Now, 579 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 3: that doesn't mean, we're not going to fart around in between. Well, 580 00:30:58,080 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 3: you ought to just talk about politics all day long, 581 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 3: because because you're that person does that, I would have 582 00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 3: an audience so small that nobody'd be listening. 583 00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:08,160 Speaker 1: There's a reason people listen, because it's interesting. 584 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:10,120 Speaker 3: And entertaining in the midst of being informed. 585 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:12,719 Speaker 1: If I may say so myself. 586 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 3: Well, gentlemen, Ellis has let for killing me, Thank you, 587 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 3: and have a good night.
