1 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:11,840 Speaker 1: It's that time. Time, time, luck and load. The Michael 2 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 1: Very Show is on the air. New York Times rand 3 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:48,520 Speaker 1: of story entitled how a far right takeover of Georgia's 4 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:55,080 Speaker 1: election board could swing the election? Do you know what 5 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 1: the far right takeover of Georgia's election board could do 6 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:03,240 Speaker 1: to swing the election? They want the ballots for early 7 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: voting tabulated every day and compared against the machine totals 8 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:16,039 Speaker 1: to make sure they match. And they want the county 9 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: officials to look into what they're actually certifying, because they 10 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: certify the results. See what we do in Georgia is 11 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:36,119 Speaker 1: you wait around till late endo the night election night. 12 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 1: You delay the county and say everybody go home, and 13 00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 1: then the steal is on and votes start showing up, 14 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 1: votes that didn't exist before. And it's so overwhelming that 15 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: even the Republican Secretary of State and governor said, cover 16 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: this up and certify the election and move on down 17 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,520 Speaker 1: the road, because they did not want to have to 18 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: dig into it. Why do some people have some bird 19 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: on them they don't want exposed. That's blackmail. It happens 20 00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:17,480 Speaker 1: a lot. Probably do they not want the fight because 21 00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: they don't see it as their fight. They see it 22 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:25,799 Speaker 1: as Trump's fight. Almost certainly are they unwilling to stand 23 00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: up to the type of people who will cheat an 24 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:31,440 Speaker 1: election because they're thugs and goons and they have lawyers 25 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: like Mark Elias. Absolutely, Sadly, most people on our side 26 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:44,079 Speaker 1: are afraid of a fight. It'd be surprised. I hope 27 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: it's not you, but I can tell you it's more 28 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 1: people than you realize. They're real big when they're listening 29 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: to the radio or the TV. I'll tell you what 30 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: I do. I stand up. You want to do a 31 00:02:55,240 --> 00:03:00,720 Speaker 1: damn thing, because I've seen it. I've seen it when 32 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: those people start threatening, calling you a racist, calling you 33 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,119 Speaker 1: of this, calling you of that, threatening your job, protesting 34 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 1: out in front of your house. When kwant Alex and 35 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: his goons were out in front of our house, they 36 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: had notified the police, and the police chief came by 37 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 1: my house that morning. He said, Michael, please leave. I'm 38 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: assuming you're going to I said, absolutely, not not leaving 39 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: my house. They cannot make me leave my house. My 40 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: wife doesn't want to leave. I'm not going to leave. 41 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: And he said, this is a very difficult situation. 42 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 2: You know. 43 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: They have announced they're bringing the long guns, which legally 44 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: they could do. I'm aware it was a nineteen oh 45 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 1: seven house, so you could shoot through the clapboard walls. 46 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 1: So when quantulexin the group came, they're out front. The 47 00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: police department had about fifteen police officers staged in between 48 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 1: them and us at the gate, and there were way 49 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 1: more of them than us. So we invited the media 50 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:13,040 Speaker 1: into the house. My wife had dinner ready on the 51 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 1: table and she waited until the media came in, and 52 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: we had eaten half our meal and left it there. 53 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 1: And the story was her and me sitting on the 54 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:30,000 Speaker 1: couch and they filmed our half eaten meal and they 55 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: described our half eaten meal. That was the story that 56 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: ran that night. It was a Sunday night. By Monday, 57 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: the story was there were eighty two police officers staged 58 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:48,400 Speaker 1: a block over and on the rooftops of all the 59 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 1: buildings around. Because the cops loved me, they were not 60 00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: going to let something bad happen to me. That there 61 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,039 Speaker 1: were snipers on all the buildings around. So the next 62 00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: day's question was did city councilman get too much protection? 63 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 1: You got fifty people standing out in front of your house, 64 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:13,280 Speaker 1: the black panthers who announce they're bringing the long guns, rifles. 65 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 1: They announce it, and they're calling you a white devil, 66 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: and you're worried that there was too much police presence, 67 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: because if you had run the background on the guys 68 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 1: that were in that crowd, there were more than a 69 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: few felons and more than a few people that would 70 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 1: love to take a shot at me. I didn't go 71 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:39,880 Speaker 1: peek out the window, not that dumb or brave. So 72 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: the one day story, I didn't ask to beat to 73 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 1: have this happen. And do you know what I had 74 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 1: done wrong? I had mobilized the mayor could never be 75 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 1: defeated by the city council, but we beat him. It 76 00:05:54,800 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: was a resolution supporting reparations, a resolution that was going 77 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: to Congress from the Houston City Council, which has no 78 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: legal authority. Nobody was getting they check. But I mobilized 79 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: support against Lee P. Brown. But do you know who 80 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: put that whole thing together? This was two thousand and 81 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,839 Speaker 1: early two thousand and three, early summer two thousand and three. 82 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: I don't know if I've ever told this. The person 83 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: who put that whole thing together was the candidate I 84 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: was running for mayor against who I was cutting into 85 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,280 Speaker 1: the black vote. I was winning a lot of the 86 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: black vote, and that's all he could hope to get. 87 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,760 Speaker 1: There were four of us running, Bill White, Orlando Sanchez, 88 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 1: Me and a black candidate, and the black candidate jinned 89 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:54,440 Speaker 1: the whole thing up, made the calls. He's the one 90 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 1: who did the press, car who got the press the 91 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: next day. He's the one who got the details of 92 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 1: how many the officers were there to protect me in 93 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 1: my wife, none other than Sylvester Turner. And that's how 94 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: they play the game. Do I regret it, not one bit. 95 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: I can't tell you to this day how many black 96 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: supporters I have who said, you stood up to those goons. 97 00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: I can't tell you how many people who said I 98 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:23,000 Speaker 1: remember on TV when they were out in front of 99 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: your house. First of all, I don't believe in reparations 100 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: because I think you can't determine who was that time 101 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: has passed, that ship has sailed. It's just a giveaway. 102 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: It breaks the economy, and it's not a giveaway on 103 00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:45,680 Speaker 1: the basis of anything anyone has qualified for. You cannot 104 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: determine eligibility. You can't do it. And I think it's toxic. 105 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: I think it further divides us. We need to be 106 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: moving forward. We already have enough giveaways at a race 107 00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 1: based we had affirmative action for too long. We're slowly 108 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: cutting that out. DEI was a step back. We're cutting 109 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,480 Speaker 1: that out more companies. Microsoft has dropped DEI. My goodness, 110 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: Auburn University just dropped DEI. Now, I know what you're thinking. 111 00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: Why is Auburn in Alabama? Why did they have a 112 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: d I got it, I got it. But let's celebrate 113 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: the progress. Let's keep moving forward. The point was, I 114 00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: knew when I did that they how they would react. 115 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 1: I knew that that would be a target on me. 116 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: My ghetto pass was famously revoked. I still did press 117 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: that week, and they said, how do you respond to 118 00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 1: the fact that they say your ghetto pass has been revoked? 119 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 1: I said, I wish they'd stopped issuing passes to the 120 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 1: ghetto and opened the city up so that black people 121 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: wouldn't need to live in them. I don't care if 122 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: somebody disrespects you, you can't shoot them. Show hittle pass. 123 00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 3: It's been revoked. 124 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:14,319 Speaker 1: Twenty four breaking. In a stunning new leaked video, jd 125 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: Vance claims that childless adults should pay more in taxes. 126 00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 1: It's clear jd Vance wants to wage war against Americans. 127 00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:37,680 Speaker 1: Eighteen days later, breaking, Kamala Harris just announced that if 128 00:09:37,679 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 1: she's elected, she will restore the child tax credit. This 129 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:52,680 Speaker 1: is huge. It's the same policy proposal by two different people. 130 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: But when jd Vance does it, it is punishing childless adults. 131 00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:07,319 Speaker 1: When Kamala Harris does it, it is restoring the child 132 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:13,720 Speaker 1: tax credit. Same action. By the way, you know why 133 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 1: she did it because they're polling showed it was popular 134 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 1: with independent voters. I'm going to say this a lot 135 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 1: of times between now and the election. The election will 136 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:30,840 Speaker 1: not be one based on how many people show up 137 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: at rallies. The election will not be one based on 138 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: how angry you get at the Democrats. You can ratchet 139 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:41,160 Speaker 1: that anger up to eleven. You can go what you do, 140 00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,920 Speaker 1: whatever you want. The election will be won and lost 141 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: based on how well we get low information. They call 142 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 1: them undecided, but they're typically low information voters to vote. 143 00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,199 Speaker 1: I know people who voted for Obama in a eight 144 00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 1: and twelve who it would surprise you today. They're Republicans today. 145 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: They see the writing on the wall today they see 146 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:14,680 Speaker 1: but at that time not bad people, low information voters. 147 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: This is why the Democrats hold on to things like 148 00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: Republicans are mean. Nobody wants to be mean. Nobody likes 149 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,679 Speaker 1: the person who's rude and mean and brash, and so 150 00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:33,640 Speaker 1: they paint Trump that way. Somebody told me this weekend, 151 00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,320 Speaker 1: what I worry about what Kamala is. She smiles a 152 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: lot and she laughs. It's true. We have to convince 153 00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: the people around us, whom most people are not spending 154 00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: any time trying to get to vote because you don't 155 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,240 Speaker 1: think of them as voters. But they're going to vote 156 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: a lot of them now if they could lose their 157 00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,439 Speaker 1: job between now and the election, that it helped, if 158 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,200 Speaker 1: a family member was a victim of crime, that would 159 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 1: affect them. See, when governmental policy affects their life, all 160 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: of a sudden, they care a great deal. But before 161 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 1: that they didn't. Before that, they were susceptible to arguments like, well, 162 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,440 Speaker 1: Kamala is a historic candidate. You know, we need a 163 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,920 Speaker 1: black woman. You know we do. You know we need 164 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,959 Speaker 1: a black woman. We hadn't had that. We should do that. 165 00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:39,079 Speaker 1: You can't pull your hair out. You have to engage. 166 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 1: You have to win them over if you actually want 167 00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: to win. Some people don't want to win. Don't be 168 00:12:45,080 --> 00:12:49,079 Speaker 1: that person. Some people want to be right and righteous. 169 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:52,160 Speaker 1: You've got to want to win. It's and I truly believe, 170 00:12:52,240 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: mister Roublass, are truly do you believe? And what do 171 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 1: you truly believe? Sweetheart? 172 00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 4: I truly believe that Tim Walsh is the Manchurian candidate. 173 00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:23,720 Speaker 1: Why do you say that? 174 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:34,239 Speaker 5: His beliefs and he's been to China thirty four times. 175 00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: He believes that China is. 176 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 2: Better than we are. 177 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:40,520 Speaker 3: So I believe that he. 178 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 5: Has been turned and will try to continue to turn 179 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 5: our government. 180 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:51,559 Speaker 1: You know, some of his students have spoken out and 181 00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:53,640 Speaker 1: talked about the things he said in class. They've never 182 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 1: had a teacher talk about. He worships China. He worships 183 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 1: the complete control of the people. You said he's been 184 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 1: thirty four times. I already had been twenty five. I 185 00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,240 Speaker 1: don't know that it matters. I don't know anybody who's 186 00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 1: been that many times. And I know people who do 187 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:13,360 Speaker 1: business there, I know people who manufacture there. I don't 188 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:17,439 Speaker 1: know anybody's been that many times. That is a disturbing 189 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: number of people. He went there on his honeymoon. You know, 190 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:27,120 Speaker 1: when you start roaring on your honeymoon to Russia or China. 191 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: You're in the company of Lee, Harvey Oswald and Bernie Sanders. 192 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: Nobody wants to be in that company. Nobody wants to 193 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: be in that company. Russell, what do you truly believe, sir? 194 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:48,600 Speaker 1: I truly believe thanks to UTU. 195 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:50,160 Speaker 2: My ears have developed a gag week. 196 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,800 Speaker 1: That's pretty good. Well done, sir, calling the day, Ben, 197 00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 1: What do you truly believe. 198 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 3: Mister Michael Berry? I truly believe that we can all 199 00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 3: hear Ramone and Rob Lists in the background very lightly, 200 00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 3: and if you're not careful, he's going to get his 201 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 3: own show. 202 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 1: You know, people tell me this, I can hear, and 203 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what happens. So I don't do the 204 00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,080 Speaker 1: overhead big they're called cans in the business. I don't 205 00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 1: do that because I don't I don't like it on 206 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 1: my ear, So I go with a little tiny in ear. 207 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,080 Speaker 1: So if I turn my head to look out the 208 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: window or at another screen and Ramone's talking to me, 209 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: it comes through the microphone. You can hear it distantly 210 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: into the microphone. And I guess I'm kind of at 211 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 1: a point almost twenty years in where I go, Okay, 212 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: is it ruining the experience is at the end of 213 00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: the world. Is Kama looking win because of it? Because 214 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: I guess we can figure out a work around. But 215 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm wondering if maybe people need to not 216 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 1: worry if my jaw clicks or there's a sound in 217 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:19,880 Speaker 1: there or something. Maybe just kind of enjoy the show 218 00:16:20,080 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: and destress. How about we're putting on a show. It's free, 219 00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,720 Speaker 1: it's five hours a day, plus bonus podcast. How about 220 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,040 Speaker 1: we all just agree. Hey, man, I'm at this almost 221 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,400 Speaker 1: twenty years. If there's a better show out there, please 222 00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: listen to it. I kind of you know, if the 223 00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:41,680 Speaker 1: signal's down, fine, What I ought to do is stop 224 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: reading emails. That is my fault and I know it. 225 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: My wife tells me this, Ralone tells me this. It 226 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: is my fault. I am too accessible because people will say, hey, today, 227 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: there was a moment where for point eight seconds the 228 00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 1: audio cutout. Did you miss something? No, it was in 229 00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 1: the middle of a song and I knew this song already. Okay, 230 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,639 Speaker 1: you need to know that because that's not good. Okay, 231 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,480 Speaker 1: And then what it makes me do is just rage, 232 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: and I shouldn't do that, so I it is I'm 233 00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 1: way too accessible. Because if I were to say, I 234 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:16,600 Speaker 1: tell you what, don't listen to the show. I love 235 00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:19,359 Speaker 1: your show. It's the greatest show ever. Will then stop 236 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:23,399 Speaker 1: picking at every detail because you wear me out. So 237 00:17:23,480 --> 00:17:26,679 Speaker 1: what I should do turn the email off, focus on 238 00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 1: the show and not and not receive all this input. 239 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,240 Speaker 1: The problem is I enjoy it so much, but it's 240 00:17:32,280 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 1: to the point now I'm not really enjoying it anymore. 241 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:39,119 Speaker 1: I'm realizing people overstep their bounds. This used to happen 242 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 1: at the RCC. People would come by so excited there 243 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 1: gonna meet Michael Berry and show up at the RCC, 244 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:46,560 Speaker 1: and they come over and they can walk it all 245 00:17:46,640 --> 00:17:50,520 Speaker 1: over and Michael, I'm Bob, I'm your biggest fan. Thank you. Hey, 246 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: y'all have ten stalls in the bathroom on stall eight, 247 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 1: there's no toilet paper, y'all. You should replace that toilet paper. Well, 248 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 1: right now I'm trying to deal with getting Jamie Johnson 249 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 1: on stage or getting willing enough. Well, I'm just telling 250 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 1: you it's installed number. And then you realize, you know, 251 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:10,080 Speaker 1: maybe there's a reason you don't make yourself that accessible. 252 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:14,399 Speaker 1: Maybe that's a bad idea because that effects Rush didn't 253 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:19,520 Speaker 1: do that. Nobody does that, and I probably shouldn't just 254 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 1: that send. Y'all really didn't need to hear that. I'm 255 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,159 Speaker 1: just kind of working this through in my head and 256 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:25,360 Speaker 1: one stick. 257 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 3: Deep to come up with the right character with the 258 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:28,280 Speaker 3: Michael Barrier. 259 00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: That's how I found my first ten Wives. My apology, 260 00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:38,199 Speaker 1: I shouldn't. I tend to work things out in my 261 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 1: head online radio, as you may have noticed, and sometimes 262 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:50,160 Speaker 1: when I'm working something out in my head, I'm expressing 263 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:55,399 Speaker 1: it on the show because I'm in a different mind space. 264 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,680 Speaker 1: When I'm on the air. My mind is sharper, and 265 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:05,119 Speaker 1: I'm more capable of communing with the audience. When I'm 266 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:10,040 Speaker 1: off the air, I let that go, and so decision 267 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:13,560 Speaker 1: making when I'm off the air is not as good 268 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 1: as when I'm making a decision or kind of having 269 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:23,360 Speaker 1: this argument with myself on the air and sometimes expressing 270 00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:31,440 Speaker 1: that and forcing myself to express that, whether it's frustration, elation, gratitude, motivation, 271 00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:35,840 Speaker 1: whatever I'm trying to convey to you. As I'm trying 272 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: to explain that to you, it helps me understand it 273 00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,640 Speaker 1: in my own mind. If that makes sense. I don't 274 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 1: know if it does, but it does make sense to me. 275 00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:50,719 Speaker 1: And I don't consciously do that. I've just learned to 276 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: do that over the years, and sometimes that's my way 277 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 1: of saying to people, whether it be back off, I 278 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 1: don't need to hear it every complaint, or hey guys, 279 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:05,440 Speaker 1: we got to do more than be here on this show. 280 00:20:05,480 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: We've got to go get the votes. We've got to win, 281 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:13,360 Speaker 1: or hey, guys, I know you're frustrated. I know you're 282 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 1: feeling defeated, but we've got to talk to people we 283 00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 1: don't know or whatever that is. Talking to you in 284 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,639 Speaker 1: a way that I feel explains where I am on 285 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:33,399 Speaker 1: an issue really helps me because I become, in some 286 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:37,400 Speaker 1: weird way like a listener myself. And I will say 287 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,919 Speaker 1: to myself later that was not a very compelling argument. 288 00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 1: The argument I made, if it were made to me, 289 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 1: would not be very compelling. So I need to rethink 290 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 1: is that really how I feel? Or did I do 291 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: a poor job of explaining that issue? And I mean, 292 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,879 Speaker 1: I think if any of us who do what we 293 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:04,280 Speaker 1: do is any good, you should constantly subject yourself to 294 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 1: that rather than just spouting opinions. Because it's easy to 295 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 1: spout opinions that you later realize you don't really feel 296 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,399 Speaker 1: that way. You said it because you read it, or 297 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:18,720 Speaker 1: you said it because it's popular, or you said it 298 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:21,320 Speaker 1: because you think the audience wanted to hear it. And 299 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 1: I think authenticity is everything. If you're going to do 300 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: what we do for any long period of time, people 301 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: have to know. Look, they may not like what you 302 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: have to say. We made it through twenty sixteen bashing 303 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,360 Speaker 1: Trump all day, every day, and I don't regret that. 304 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,800 Speaker 1: I think that was a growing pain. I did not 305 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,480 Speaker 1: believe that Trump would be the president he turned out 306 00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,119 Speaker 1: to be. Did not believe it. I thought it was 307 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 1: a sham. I thought he was being a character. I 308 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,359 Speaker 1: thought he was lying. And yes, I'm aware that many 309 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: of you, not as many as you now claim, but 310 00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: many of you. You worshiped him from day one before 311 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: he ever had an opinion, and you thought he was 312 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 1: a hero, and you saw some that's great. You were 313 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:14,639 Speaker 1: right and I was wrong, absolutely admit that. But I 314 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 1: also think it deepened the relationship that we had an 315 00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: honest disagreement, and I didn't hold back, not one bit. 316 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: Trumpkin Tom was not meant to be a compliment. It 317 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,120 Speaker 1: was what I was hearing from people every day, and 318 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:36,760 Speaker 1: I wanted to create a character to allow that to breathe, 319 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,840 Speaker 1: so you could see it for yourself what I was witnessing. 320 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: And as I've said, you don't have to pile on 321 00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,840 Speaker 1: I was wrong. Trump turned out to be good. Trump 322 00:22:48,880 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: turned out to be the candidate for twenty sixteen and 323 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:56,199 Speaker 1: not Cruise. I admit it. I'm glad it worked out 324 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,199 Speaker 1: the way it did. I don't think anybody could have 325 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:04,639 Speaker 1: beaten Hillary other than Trump. And I was dead wrong 326 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:09,399 Speaker 1: on Trump, like anybody else. I have my criticisms. I 327 00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,880 Speaker 1: don't want Scaramucci in the White House. I don't want 328 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 1: Amrosa in the White House. I think there's some I 329 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,720 Speaker 1: don't want Michael Cohen in the White House. I thought 330 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 1: those guys were clowns and criminals and crooks. I think 331 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: there's some more out there, some that are still hovering. 332 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:27,880 Speaker 1: But Trump himself turned out to have a very good 333 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:32,760 Speaker 1: gut judgment of what was wrong in DC. And in 334 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:35,720 Speaker 1: some ways the things I did not like about him. 335 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:38,000 Speaker 1: He was too much of an insider. He had dealt 336 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,560 Speaker 1: with the Democrats and done too much for the Democrats. 337 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:46,359 Speaker 1: He managed to use as assets to help him get 338 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:51,359 Speaker 1: things done. But I worked that out in my head 339 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:57,399 Speaker 1: throughout that election, and we had arguments on air and 340 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:01,320 Speaker 1: off air. We lost show sponsors. I had show sponsors 341 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:05,200 Speaker 1: who yanked off the show and they weren't allowed back 342 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 1: at a time when the company did not appreciate that 343 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 1: we were costing money. There was money on the books, 344 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: that was taking off the books, and they said, I 345 00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 1: don't like your opinion, so we're going off. Don't talk 346 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: about that anymore. That's not how this works now, audience 347 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: will our little family here would not respect me if 348 00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 1: I did that, and it was rough, because that affects 349 00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:38,120 Speaker 1: the bottom line, my bottom line, the company's bottom line. 350 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,719 Speaker 1: You start costing the company money, people start looking at it. 351 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,320 Speaker 1: They start looking very closely at those sorts of things. 352 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:51,879 Speaker 1: So the fact that we survived that, I think meant 353 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 1: that for the people who stayed and those who came later, 354 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 1: we know where we are. And if nothing else, and 355 00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:04,439 Speaker 1: you've heard this on shows, you know I'm not gonna pander. 356 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 1: You know that you're gonna know where I'm at on 357 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:14,679 Speaker 1: an issue at a given time, even if it's not 358 00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:18,320 Speaker 1: where you want me to be. We'll get back to 359 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,879 Speaker 1: the I truly believe. But I want to be clear 360 00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:24,679 Speaker 1: that where we are today, first day of the DNC, 361 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:29,399 Speaker 1: you've got a week of a freak show, and I 362 00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 1: understand there's a certain grudge watch that we do. Look 363 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:36,440 Speaker 1: at those freaks we have got, We're gonna We're gonna 364 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: another week is going to be gone. Early voting is 365 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:46,640 Speaker 1: going to begin. We have got to identify voters who 366 00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 1: were going to get to the polls to vote. And 367 00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,440 Speaker 1: I'm going to tell you have got to block out 368 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:53,800 Speaker 1: the person who says it don't matter, Michael, They're just 369 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 1: gonna cheap. Look, there are good people, at least in Texas, 370 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,640 Speaker 1: the general a count, the state party, other party officials 371 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 1: who have taken over for the fact that Greg Abbott 372 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:07,840 Speaker 1: won't do it to try to ensure election integrity. By 373 00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:12,040 Speaker 1: the way, we still need ballot judges. If you'll email me, 374 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 1: I'll connect you to that. No, no, no, don't even I'll 375 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: give you the website coming up. I received an email 376 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: earlier today from a lady who's said, Zara, I participated 377 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:29,160 Speaker 1: in a protect the Vote webinar this weekend in order 378 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 1: to help with pole watching and ballot counting. We need 379 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:39,680 Speaker 1: all we can get this will link people to their 380 00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:48,399 Speaker 1: state and county. It is protectthevote dot Com. I know 381 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,840 Speaker 1: some of the people who were involved in this project, 382 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 1: all of whom are volunteers. Ninety nine point nine percent 383 00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:05,280 Speaker 1: of people who will say, well, he's gonna cheat, will 384 00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:10,600 Speaker 1: not lift a finger to help. They'd rather it be 385 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 1: the case that they're going to cheat and nothing can 386 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:17,840 Speaker 1: ever be done. This is where the conspiracy theories feed 387 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: into the laziness. So you get the guy who's very opinionated, 388 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:29,199 Speaker 1: extremely lazy, and very connected and deepening. He'll just feed 389 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:33,680 Speaker 1: their websites who do this all day long. Nothing really happened, 390 00:27:34,040 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: Nobody really went to the grocery store. It was all 391 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:42,080 Speaker 1: a simulation. It's the whole thing, and it fits into 392 00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:47,560 Speaker 1: something that is a hallmark of his entire life, which 393 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,880 Speaker 1: is this guy never does a damn thing for anybody. 394 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:56,120 Speaker 1: Deadbeat dad of five different kids. But if each one 395 00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 1: of those women is a bitch, and she's horrible, and 396 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 1: she won't let him see his own kids, and she 397 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:04,520 Speaker 1: just wants to get money out of him, and that's 398 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:07,560 Speaker 1: why he won't pay her child support, and she's a 399 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,840 Speaker 1: whore and she's a bet. If he can spend. If 400 00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 1: he can weave this, it doesn't matter how many women, 401 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: and the less credible he becomes. What he's really doing 402 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:24,360 Speaker 1: is making an excuse for being a deadbeat dad. Right. 403 00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:30,040 Speaker 1: They're only playing politics at the At the company, it's 404 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 1: all politics, you know. That's how they decide who gets 405 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 1: paid and who gets promoted. What about the fact that 406 00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 1: you're a crank and constantly complain, Well you would too 407 00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 1: if you have, You will notice these people they have. 408 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 1: It's it's a loop of them. I mean, I hope 409 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:50,760 Speaker 1: they'll vote for Trump. Some of them won't show up 410 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,280 Speaker 1: and vote. They'll just complain because why would they vote there? 411 00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:56,040 Speaker 1: You know, they're so proud that they're not going to 412 00:28:56,080 --> 00:29:00,120 Speaker 1: cast a vote because the system is so crooked. Well 413 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 1: that's that's really three D genius there. If only everybody 414 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:11,920 Speaker 1: did that, we'd show them, wouldn't we. I mean, you 415 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 1: have to realize you're going to be part of the 416 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 1: solution or you're just complaining. I got an email earlier 417 00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 1: from a lady who said that she was at a 418 00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 1: dinner this weekend and there were two older Democrats there 419 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:30,600 Speaker 1: and they go twice a week to two different campuses 420 00:29:31,320 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 1: and they eat lunch on the campus and they talk 421 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:37,600 Speaker 1: to the students about why they should vote Democrat. Yes, 422 00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:43,880 Speaker 1: one thing about the Democrats. They are going to fight 423 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,640 Speaker 1: to win. They're not just going to complain about They're 424 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 1: going to do the things because it's not easy, right. 425 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,240 Speaker 1: It's one thing to watch TV and listen to radio 426 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 1: and read the websites, but to actually get out in 427 00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: the heat and talk to people and gauge people, it's brutal. 428 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 1: I mean, most people are not gonna do it, and 429 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:08,560 Speaker 1: for good reason. It's not fun. It's but if you're committed, 430 00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:11,560 Speaker 1: you do it. It's an I truly believe ten. 431 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 2: What do you think, Hey, good morning, Michael Barry. Hey, 432 00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 2: I truly believe that people that rely upon, depend on, 433 00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:26,240 Speaker 2: and benefit from our government, with the exception of veterrends 434 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:30,280 Speaker 2: and people with disability, are of zero benefit to society. 435 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 2: It's like the McDonald worker that's looking for thirty dollars 436 00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:36,520 Speaker 2: an hour. This is not a career path, this was 437 00:30:36,560 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 2: a career choice. You're not gonna get thirty dollars working 438 00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 2: at McDonald's. And these people are just way out of 439 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 2: tune with what's reality. 440 00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:45,560 Speaker 5: In this world. 441 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 1: You know, if people ever got wind of the retirement 442 00:30:53,080 --> 00:31:01,120 Speaker 1: packages of government employees. It's probably spiraled so big. There 443 00:31:01,160 --> 00:31:04,440 Speaker 1: are government employees who make more money in retirement than 444 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:09,400 Speaker 1: they made working. And I can't tell you how many 445 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 1: people work their tail off and they don't have a pension. 446 00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:21,200 Speaker 1: They have a self funded retirement. Maybe they got a 447 00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:25,800 Speaker 1: roth ira. If they're lucky, they got a four to 448 00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 1: oh one K, but probably doesn't have a match because 449 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 1: they don't do the matches the way they used to. 450 00:31:32,520 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 1: So most people don't realize the government employee is getting 451 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:39,680 Speaker 1: so far ahead of you during the course of their careers, 452 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:44,880 Speaker 1: and then you get a guaranteed payment upon death. And 453 00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 1: that's why in municipal elections, government employees are the largest 454 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 1: block of voters by far. And I'll tell you where 455 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 1: it turned, Lee P. Brown. Lee P. Brown came in 456 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 1: and promised the government workers that if he won, they 457 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,600 Speaker 1: would be rich, and he delivered. The only group he 458 00:32:05,640 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 1: didn't deliver for was the firefighters. And now Whitmyer's made 459 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 1: up for that. When you look at the retirement packages, 460 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:17,600 Speaker 1: they are rich. They're absolutely rich. And look, I want 461 00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 1: people to be well taken care of, but I would 462 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 1: rather pay people on the front end and encourage people 463 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 1: to invest in their own retirement package. But the bill 464 00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 1: will come do. There's no doubt in my mind the 465 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 1: bill will come do. Brenda, you're on the Michael Berry Show. 466 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:37,400 Speaker 3: Go ahead, take okay. 467 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 5: I truly believe that voting early gives the opponents an 468 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:47,400 Speaker 5: opportunity to know how many votes they have to make 469 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 5: up or fabricate to win the election on election day. 470 00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 4: I think everybody needs to take the day off. 471 00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 5: We need to go on election day cast our vote. 472 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:02,680 Speaker 5: Don't give them an opportunity to have any heads up 473 00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,480 Speaker 5: on how many of us are voting for Trump. 474 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:10,080 Speaker 1: That's what people did in the twenty two November election, 475 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 1: and so the election office didn't send ballots out, and 476 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,480 Speaker 1: so all of Alex Meeler's voters were waiting to vote 477 00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:20,040 Speaker 1: and couldn't vote. 478 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 4: It's a push in the right direction, because we really 479 00:33:26,160 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 4: need to have days off when you shut everything down, 480 00:33:31,520 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 4: go past your vote on one day, and then take care. 481 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,200 Speaker 5: Of all the other problems as we go forward. 482 00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 1: First of all, I don't want it to be easier 483 00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:45,560 Speaker 1: to vote. I want it to be harder. Why should 484 00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:49,040 Speaker 1: it be an easy thing to do something that people 485 00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:53,720 Speaker 1: gave their lives to ensure people want you to vote. 486 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,240 Speaker 1: We're talking about choosing who's going to be the president 487 00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,920 Speaker 1: of the United States of America. You don't need a 488 00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:03,080 Speaker 1: day off for that if you can't figure out. I 489 00:34:03,120 --> 00:34:05,680 Speaker 1: don't want more people voting. I want fewer people voting. 490 00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:08,440 Speaker 1: I want people who give a damn enough to go 491 00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:11,920 Speaker 1: wait in line, take time off from work, or go 492 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:15,000 Speaker 1: on a weekend and stand in line and vote. I 493 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,239 Speaker 1: don't want every jackass voting. And I Brenda, I think 494 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:21,640 Speaker 1: your idea is the worst idea ever. People are gonna 495 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:24,120 Speaker 1: get sick, they're gonna die, it's gonna be raining, they're 496 00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:27,480 Speaker 1: gonna be traveling.
