1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,080 Speaker 1: We changed our voicemail system recently. We're always tweaking things. 2 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:05,800 Speaker 1: If you haven't noticed, and it's not it does not 3 00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:08,639 Speaker 1: always to a good end. I should probably just leave 4 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:12,040 Speaker 1: things b but it's my nature to constantly try to improve, 5 00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 1: and usually what I do is screw it up. We 6 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 1: had been unable to retrieve our voicemails until now, and 7 00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:20,520 Speaker 1: that was one of the things I wanted to get 8 00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: our voicemail system back when we moved our phone system, 9 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 1: because I love to get phone calls from you. A 10 00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,240 Speaker 1: lot of them are late at night calls. Sometimes people 11 00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: in early in the morning on their way to the office. 12 00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,880 Speaker 1: They'll call and leave us a voicemail. So we haven't 13 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: done this in a while, but we do love our voicemail. 14 00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,879 Speaker 1: Our first voicemail comes from a fella in Alabama and 15 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,879 Speaker 1: he enjoyed our conversation yesterday with Ray Wiley Hubbard, and 16 00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:46,840 Speaker 1: he recalls seeing Ray Hubbard in the late seventies. 17 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 2: Mister Barry, send here to listen to you interview and 18 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 2: Ray Wiley Hubbard if you talk to him again, asking 19 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 2: if you're remembers to play in South Garland High School 20 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 2: in Texas, Garland, Texas in the seventies because I washed 21 00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 2: Eeden and that was something else in the seventies, the 22 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 2: late seventies. This is bea from Alabama, but I am 23 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 2: from Texas. I grew up in Dallas and moved to Garblan. 24 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 2: Love you, show brother, see you. 25 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: Our next listmail comes from Lindsay. I get these quite 26 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,559 Speaker 1: a bit. Lindsay doesn't like the fact that I criticize 27 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,679 Speaker 1: Republicans when they don't do their jobs, when they promise 28 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 1: things that they don't deliver, when they have an opportunity 29 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: to win on a key policy point that the public 30 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,559 Speaker 1: wants and they choose not to engage in the battle 31 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: because they don't want any scars. They don't want to 32 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: use their political capital. And I don't like that. You 33 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: have a job to do. You're in there, do your job, 34 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 1: and when you don't, I'm going to criticize you. It'd 35 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 1: be a lot easier to just praise Republicans and criticize 36 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 1: Democrats all day long. And that's what some people want 37 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 1: me to do. Don't criticize Republicans. If you don't criticize Republicans, 38 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:22,560 Speaker 1: then there's no one keeping them honest. All they ever 39 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,480 Speaker 1: have to do is not be a Democrat. That's not 40 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: good enough. 41 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 3: Michael Lindsey calling you to please begging you stop cutting 42 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 3: down Greg Abbot when you don't do one tenth of 43 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,560 Speaker 3: the job he does, not one one hundredth of the 44 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:44,760 Speaker 3: job he does. 45 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: You have no. 46 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 3: Business cutting down Greg Abbot or anybody else in our 47 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 3: government when you aren't doing anything but talking the cheap 48 00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 3: talk and lose the fake accent. By the way, I 49 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 3: can not stand when you come on, but I do 50 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 3: love Hannity in between, and I also don't mind the 51 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:12,399 Speaker 3: guy who plays football games and wrote a book named Balls. Anyway, 52 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:13,840 Speaker 3: I'm done. 53 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 4: With listening to your show. 54 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 3: If you're going to continue to cut down my favorite conservatives, 55 00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 3: this is not conservative talk radio. 56 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 4: Good night. 57 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, it sounds like you should probably find somewhere else 58 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,640 Speaker 1: to get your jolly's. I don't think we're exactly aligned 59 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: in our sensibilities, Lindsey. Let's go back to Alabama and 60 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: a voicemail from Wally. 61 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 5: This is Wally from him Alabama, Right. 62 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,120 Speaker 2: Well, I was just wondering why you didn't talk more 63 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 2: about Vick. 64 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 4: Trainey this week, and then I answered wrong question. 65 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, this is nobody gives us three. 66 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: Well done, Wally good call. Eve called and left a 67 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: list of things that she's of. 68 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 6: Hey, Michael, this is Eve, and I've got a list 69 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 6: of things that I'm just tired of. I'm tired of 70 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 6: the phony politicians like John Cornyn who always talks tufts 71 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,279 Speaker 6: when he's ready to run for office. I'm tired of 72 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 6: saying things like them saying things like well, when those 73 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 6: you know Texans get that from Illinoying, they may lose 74 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 6: their seats. 75 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 7: Just a bunch of tough talk. I'm tired of all 76 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 7: the money that is being taken from us. I'm tired 77 00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:32,039 Speaker 7: of all the book writings for media and politicians. I'm 78 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 7: tired of the Carl Rose and the poll guesters. I'm 79 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 7: tired of the David Mason's that destroys a beautiful state 80 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 7: and then things you can run for an even bigger 81 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 7: office like the president. I'm tired of the Dan Crenshaws 82 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 7: that run as a Republican, that vote with every Democrat 83 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 7: every time. 84 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:50,279 Speaker 6: Have a great day. 85 00:04:50,520 --> 00:04:54,000 Speaker 1: Bye, Well, Lindsey, wouldn't like that. You're not supposed to 86 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 1: criticize Republicans. Our final voicemail this week is from an 87 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 1: unknown woman in Portland, unknown because she didn't give her name. 88 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: She wants to build cities for homeless people like FDR 89 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 1: did for the Japanese during World War Two. 90 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 4: So the question is what on earth to do with 91 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 4: this situation because spending billions of dollars every year on 92 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 4: homeless shelters quote unquote, that is not a solution. Us 93 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 4: to me that a solution might be brand new cities 94 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:33,359 Speaker 4: with some type of factory connected to the housing. That 95 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 4: people are homeless would have to kind of build them 96 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 4: for themselves, and they could make it better if they 97 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 4: wanted to earn it making it better. And because I think, 98 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 4: if wellthy you and I were not born when the 99 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 4: Japanese was put into instrument camps because of the fear 100 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:57,200 Speaker 4: of them being some of them being willing to, you know, 101 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:02,000 Speaker 4: slip the information to Japanese these submarines off the coast. 102 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 4: But so Manzanita I think, or Manzanars something like that. 103 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 4: The people were Scentics, my next surname was on either 104 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 4: side of us were Japanese and when they were kids, 105 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:19,520 Speaker 4: their families got transported to these camps inland and then 106 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,919 Speaker 4: they were able to build the places and then fix 107 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 4: them up all over there. Now, wasn't wonderful. It's pretty 108 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,599 Speaker 4: pretty uh guessperate at first, but the whole point was 109 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,240 Speaker 4: they were able to make it better. And uh so 110 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 4: I do think that probably the anterest starting these cities, 111 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 4: you know, Inland, in another state or something, so that 112 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:49,119 Speaker 4: they are away from their drug dealing and uh oh gosh, 113 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 4: it's just really a mess. We can't go on like 114 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:57,159 Speaker 4: it is. So that's ridiculous and absurd and it makes. 115 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 2: Everybody want to leave. 116 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:08,640 Speaker 4: Uh Okay, what would you do, Michael, that's the question. 117 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 5: Michael Mary. 118 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: Vice President jd. Vance is really growing into the job. 119 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: I'm very proud of the job he's done. I didn't 120 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: know how he would do. I don't just assume, well, 121 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,240 Speaker 1: your Trump's running mate, you'll be great. It's a big job. 122 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: It's a tough job. You're called on to be tough. 123 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 1: You're called on to deal with the left. You're called 124 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 1: on to be smart, You're called on to put in 125 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:47,720 Speaker 1: long hours and travel and especially with this president. My goodness, 126 00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: I'm twenty five years younger than this president, and I'm 127 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: marvel at the schedule he keeps. I'm marvel at it. 128 00:07:55,080 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 1: It is really really impressive. You've got the fit. It's 129 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: physically grueling. It takes a toll on your family. He's 130 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 1: got a wife and young kids. You're constantly being criticized. 131 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,200 Speaker 1: They're they're accusing him of everything. They're they're you know, 132 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: you made Susie madd in fourth grade when you didn't 133 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:20,680 Speaker 1: take her to homecoming, you humped a couch. I mean, 134 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,880 Speaker 1: they just make all this stuff up. I'm sure there's 135 00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: somebody out there claiming he ate his boogers, and maybe 136 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: he did. It's a terrible toll that that that they 137 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:34,320 Speaker 1: put our people through. But in any way, he was 138 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: on Fox with Sean Hannity, and I like this answer. 139 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,559 Speaker 1: This is the reason, this is the reason we're playing 140 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: this clip. I really like this answer. It's very, very thoughtful. 141 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 1: Listen to this five oh won Roman. What if you 142 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 1: learned from President Trump? I mean, he is a force 143 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: of nature. He is. What have you learn from him? 144 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: You know a few things. 145 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 8: Number One, the President is amazing at compartmentalizing things when 146 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 8: something is going on. 147 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:05,800 Speaker 1: There's always a crisis. 148 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,320 Speaker 8: The very best day in the West Wing, there's at 149 00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 8: least one crisis somewhere in the world that somebody's putting 150 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 8: your desk. The president has an incredible ability to sort 151 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 8: of say, Okay, focus on that for fifteen minutes and 152 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 8: then go and focus on something totally different for fifteen minutes. 153 00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,200 Speaker 1: That's not naturally how I am. 154 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,880 Speaker 8: If something bad is going on, I tend to want 155 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 8: to think about that thing and solve that problem before. 156 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:28,600 Speaker 1: I go on to something else. 157 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,160 Speaker 8: The President is incredible at that compartmentalization. I think that's 158 00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 8: one of the reasons why he can handle ten different 159 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 8: problems at once, is because he's able to troubleshoot and 160 00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:39,439 Speaker 8: then move on to the next thing, troubleshoot and move 161 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,959 Speaker 8: on to the next thing. The second thing that I've 162 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 8: learned from the President sean and I've tried to absorb 163 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 8: it as much as I can. And I think some 164 00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,680 Speaker 8: of this is just who he is and his natural 165 00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 8: instincts is he has better instincts about human beings than 166 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,400 Speaker 8: anybody that I've ever met. 167 00:09:55,800 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 1: I have maintained that Trump is the guy in the 168 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: dog Kingdom. If you ever go to a dog park, 169 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: you watch various species breeds interact. Trump is the one 170 00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:12,520 Speaker 1: that can go up and tell who's the big dog 171 00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: that's in the chuahwa's body, who's the wimp that's in 172 00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:24,680 Speaker 1: the big fluffy dog's body. He can tell you he 173 00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: can sense things about people and whether to use the 174 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,240 Speaker 1: carrot and the stick and when to use it. But 175 00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: I wanted to say about the first thing he pointed out. 176 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:40,080 Speaker 1: I study people because I'm interested in it. I like 177 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 1: to take them apart and put them back together. But 178 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,079 Speaker 1: I also study people for what can I learn from 179 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: that and apply to my own life. What he said 180 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: there was that Trump doesn't labor the point. He troubleshoots 181 00:10:53,920 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 1: and moves on. Really effective people make quick decisions, not 182 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: hasty decisions. Quick decisions. I'm give you an example, and 183 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: they move on. I have noted people that you know, 184 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: you call you haven't talked to them in a long time. Hey, 185 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: how are you doing. I'm pretty good. I lost my mom, 186 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,800 Speaker 1: you know, three months ago, so you know I'm having 187 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: to deal with that. I never mentioned to a single 188 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:34,240 Speaker 1: person I talked to that my mother had passed. I 189 00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:35,720 Speaker 1: mentioned it on the air, and I said, I don't 190 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,679 Speaker 1: want to talk about it. Why are you three months later? 191 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 2: Is that? 192 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:42,960 Speaker 1: How much of your time is that occupying? Well? We 193 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 1: got to get the house cleaned out. We had to 194 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:47,600 Speaker 1: clean out the house. Well, you know, there's her estate. 195 00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 1: I had to deal with her estate. I had to 196 00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 1: deal with every penny I had to deal with. Getting 197 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 1: my father moved to an old folks home, had to 198 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: sell the house, had to tie everything up, had to 199 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,439 Speaker 1: get the pictures that they had accumulated in seventy nine 200 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: years alive to the various grandkids. Yeah, you do it 201 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: and you move on. It's not about the size of 202 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: the task, It's about your skill set in prioritizing. If 203 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,200 Speaker 1: you ever heard it said, if you want to get 204 00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 1: something done, give it to a busy person. Never were 205 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:24,920 Speaker 1: truer words spoken spoken That maxim is so true. And 206 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:31,760 Speaker 1: do you know why, because busy people solve problems. People 207 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,240 Speaker 1: that tell you how busy they are are people who 208 00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: don't get problems solved. They fill their time with whatever 209 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: they have to do, so they drag it out. They 210 00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 1: talk about what they're going to have to do rather 211 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:52,760 Speaker 1: than doing it. When you get so busy. I give 212 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,679 Speaker 1: it example, Chance McLain. My dear friend has a company 213 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 1: called Heritage Films, and they make documentaries of your mom 214 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 1: or your dad, or your grandfather grandmother. And he sits 215 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 1: down and he makes a biography. Because why should you 216 00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,959 Speaker 1: only have biographies of famous people, why not have one 217 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: of your mom and dad? The first one he did. 218 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 1: He had a production company he made commercials, and I 219 00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,000 Speaker 1: had him sit down with my dad for several hours 220 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: and he made a biography film from my dad ten 221 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: years ago when my dad was turning seventy five, so 222 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:22,440 Speaker 1: that my kids as they grew up, if my dad died, 223 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,680 Speaker 1: they would always have the story of his childhood, my childhood, 224 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 1: first time he met his grandkids. You know, all of 225 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: these things, where he worked, what he enjoyed, what were 226 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,840 Speaker 1: his favorite foods, Where did his family come from? All 227 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: of those things. Well, when he started the business and 228 00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: I started bragging on him, the business picked up, and 229 00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: about a year into it, he was able to hire 230 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:48,000 Speaker 1: every member of his family to come and join his company. 231 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 1: And he said, Man, I'm so busy. I couldn't be Man, 232 00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,679 Speaker 1: I am crazy busy. I couldn't be more busy. And 233 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,719 Speaker 1: I said, chance, you're not half as busy as you're 234 00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 1: going to be in two years, that's impossible. Michael, I 235 00:14:00,280 --> 00:14:02,920 Speaker 1: am as busy as I could possibly be. And today, 236 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,720 Speaker 1: ten years later, we laugh about He says, I didn't 237 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: know what I didn't know, and you were right. I 238 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 1: didn't realize how much more I could get done as 239 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:16,040 Speaker 1: I got more busy, because now you don't have time 240 00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: to belabor the point when someone calls you wanting to 241 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: do business, and you're a person who lets you know 242 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 1: there's three minutes worth of business and twenty minutes worth 243 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: of bs, you get the business done and move on 244 00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,320 Speaker 1: because you don't have time. If you don't have a 245 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: reason to cut the conversation short, you'll fill the time. 246 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:41,440 Speaker 1: Trump does that. He makes quick decisions and he moves on. 247 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 1: He doesn't doubt himself, he doesn't regret things. He keeps moving. 248 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:49,960 Speaker 1: That is the sign of a high functioning executive who 249 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: will well, I figure you need a good laugh right 250 00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:00,520 Speaker 1: about now. Kamala Harris continues her book tour. Can you 251 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: imagine the whole nation has forgotten you exist? She's got 252 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,680 Speaker 1: to show up knowing there's a good chance that nobody 253 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: will be there, and so she drinks. She drinks hard 254 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:20,800 Speaker 1: and heavy, and she goes staggering in there, and she 255 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 1: says the same things again and again and again. It's 256 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:29,000 Speaker 1: really it's a sad, sad life if you're Kamala Harris. 257 00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:36,280 Speaker 1: But the ridiculousness. I find to be incredibly comical. Here's 258 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: and you have to learn to laugh. You can't be 259 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:40,160 Speaker 1: mad at Kamala Harris. You have to laugh because it 260 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:45,000 Speaker 1: is hilarious. Like when she says during the twenty twenty 261 00:15:45,040 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 1: four election last year, she was playing three D chess. 262 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 9: I was aware of my opponent's strategy and I wasn't 263 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 9: about to fall prey. 264 00:15:57,160 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 1: Or fall into those traps. Wait, hold on, That awkward 265 00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 1: laugh is one of the strangest tics I have ever seen, 266 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: and a politician in a politician in my life. I 267 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: don't know if she developed it on her own or 268 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:22,960 Speaker 1: if it was taught to her, because when you get 269 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: to a certain level, there are professionals that will sit 270 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: down with these people and teach them, you know, how 271 00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 1: to make eye contact, how much to move their hands, 272 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 1: how to dress, how to wear their makeup, how to 273 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:42,120 Speaker 1: hold their head, how to modulate their voice, how to 274 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: deliver things, what kind of words to use, and what 275 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:51,160 Speaker 1: words to stay away from. And it would have been 276 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 1: a glaring, glaringly obvious aspect of Kamala Harris doing an 277 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:03,280 Speaker 1: interview for giving a speech, that there are moments where 278 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:09,560 Speaker 1: she has gaps and she's not a substantive person. That's 279 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:13,399 Speaker 1: not an insult, it's just a statement of fact. And 280 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:20,360 Speaker 1: she's not very quick witted, so she lacks knowledge and 281 00:17:20,400 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 1: she lacks skills, so she finds herself with an uncomfortable 282 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,120 Speaker 1: silence and she doesn't have anything to fill it with. 283 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 1: So I don't know if it was by default or 284 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 1: design she learned to laugh, but it's a very awkward 285 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 1: laugh because it's typically unrelated to anything being funny, so 286 00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 1: she just cackles. Now people will say, well, her being 287 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,560 Speaker 1: a woman, you hold her to a higher standard. It 288 00:17:51,600 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 1: is different. I will admit that it is more grating 289 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,160 Speaker 1: because she is a woman, there's no doubt. But there 290 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 1: are people who like her more because she's a woman. 291 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 1: You can't take that out of anything, but that awkward laugh. 292 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 1: I must admit that's one of the reasons. That's one 293 00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 1: of the big reasons I'm glad I don't have to 294 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,639 Speaker 1: hear her anymore. And so now I just laugh at 295 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,399 Speaker 1: the laugh, and I think she can't help, but she 296 00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:19,720 Speaker 1: can't get out of her own way. 297 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 9: I was aware of my opponent's strategy, and I wasn't 298 00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 9: about to fall prey or fall into those traps, and 299 00:18:32,560 --> 00:18:36,560 Speaker 9: part of his strategy and those around him was to 300 00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:43,080 Speaker 9: try and take me off are gang and message, and 301 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 9: I wasn't about to be distracted by those little those 302 00:18:46,560 --> 00:18:49,520 Speaker 9: plans that he was trying to throw to get me 303 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,640 Speaker 9: away from one of my highest priority, which was talking 304 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 9: to people about the economy and their well being in 305 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 9: terms of their financial well being. 306 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:00,760 Speaker 1: And that's so I was. 307 00:19:01,200 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 9: I understood the game that was being played, and I 308 00:19:04,200 --> 00:19:07,399 Speaker 9: made a decision that I wasn't gonna get played and 309 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:18,119 Speaker 9: three dimensional chests, I'm telling you, yeah, yeah, Now let's go. 310 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:20,280 Speaker 1: Let's throw it a little ghetto fray. You know, you 311 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 1: don't know who I is. You know, this girl o't play. 312 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: You know, at that moment after the you know, we 313 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 1: start real serious and then we run out of things 314 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:35,359 Speaker 1: to say. We're speaking about something that did not happen. 315 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:41,359 Speaker 1: You didn't out smart Donald Trump. And then there's a pause, 316 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 1: and then there is the cackle, which is designed to 317 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:49,679 Speaker 1: kind of make you relatable and then in order to 318 00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:52,680 Speaker 1: throw you off and hopefully keep you from paying attention 319 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: to the fact that this is a person. This is 320 00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:00,439 Speaker 1: in school. You called this a social promotion person. Who 321 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:05,080 Speaker 1: would who would be graduated from year to year in 322 00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,639 Speaker 1: school because a teacher didn't want them back in their 323 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 1: class even though they had not shown mastery of the subjects. 324 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,680 Speaker 1: This is the ultimate DEI higher. You've got one at 325 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,199 Speaker 1: your company. Everybody does. You may have more than that. 326 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,880 Speaker 1: You've got one in every aspect of your life. Who's your? 327 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,639 Speaker 1: Who's ours? You know the old rule. If you have 328 00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: to ask who's ours? Ramon probably really named Raymond. I'm 329 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:37,440 Speaker 1: not even you don't even speak Spanish. 330 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,600 Speaker 8: Because some don't want to hear it, He'll just go 331 00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 8: ahead and say it. 332 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:50,320 Speaker 1: Sorry. The Michael Arry Show is ingratitude. Anyone who knows 333 00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:55,120 Speaker 1: me knows I will do over the top nice things 334 00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:59,040 Speaker 1: for people, not for them, because it makes me feel good. 335 00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:02,360 Speaker 1: It's a selfish thing. That's why we do nice things 336 00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,159 Speaker 1: because it gives us a good feeling. That's why a 337 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:06,840 Speaker 1: lot of people, when they do something nice for someone, 338 00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:09,640 Speaker 1: then want to tell everybody about it because it prolongs 339 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:15,159 Speaker 1: the high. Nothing wrong with that. That's the basis of charity. 340 00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,720 Speaker 1: Now when people say, oh, that's not true, I give 341 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:21,840 Speaker 1: because no, it's okay. I'm just more comfortable with it. 342 00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: It's a good feeling. It's a good feeling to help 343 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,399 Speaker 1: another person. It doesn't have to be a bad feeling. 344 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,159 Speaker 1: You don't have to say it's a bad feeling. It 345 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 1: doesn't have to be that it's a terrible, horrible thing. 346 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 1: But you do it anyway. It's a wonderful, beautiful thing. 347 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 1: And if we would explain that, more people would do it. 348 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 1: If people would understand, it's a glorious high. It's a 349 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: high that's not a drug. It's a high that's very natural. 350 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 1: It's a high that's very righteous. Pursue it do things 351 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:57,400 Speaker 1: for people. That's why you see people who become missionaries, 352 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,919 Speaker 1: or you see people who who spend You see women 353 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 1: who their kids go off to college and they have 354 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:09,639 Speaker 1: extra time and they go volunteer. They don't even get paid, 355 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:12,240 Speaker 1: and they don't mail it in. They come home they're 356 00:22:12,240 --> 00:22:14,400 Speaker 1: talking about what's going on all day and the husband's going, 357 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 1: wait a second, isn't this an unpaid deal? You're on me, 358 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:23,400 Speaker 1: what are we doing here? And she's so engaged in it. Well, yeah, 359 00:22:23,800 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 1: because this is something she's doing to apply her passions. 360 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:32,639 Speaker 1: She has talents and gifts and she wants to apply 361 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,920 Speaker 1: those and that's a wonderful thing. It's a great thing 362 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:41,000 Speaker 1: if we actually started as people when we have time 363 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,280 Speaker 1: and energy, or as we Southern Baptists say, gifts. If 364 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,120 Speaker 1: we have those talents and gifts and we apply them 365 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:51,119 Speaker 1: to people and we start helping our neighbors, then we 366 00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,199 Speaker 1: won't need social services. And then we can call for 367 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 1: the end of social services because social services are evil. 368 00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 1: And when we get involved with young children who don't 369 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:05,399 Speaker 1: have a father, and young women who don't have a 370 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,479 Speaker 1: man in their life and they're short of cash, we 371 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:11,440 Speaker 1: can help them make better decisions because we're naturally going 372 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:13,800 Speaker 1: to mentor them even though we don't even realize it. 373 00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:18,399 Speaker 1: That's how you solve society's problems. There's the answer to 374 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:25,119 Speaker 1: everything you want. You want to fix, so ingratitude. I 375 00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: said all that to tell you that people who do 376 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 1: not appreciate things, people who are not thankful grateful, are broken. 377 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:39,400 Speaker 1: One of the best things you can learn to do 378 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 1: is be thankful, grateful for whatever it is you have 379 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,480 Speaker 1: God's hand in your life, a person who loves you. 380 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:51,240 Speaker 1: And I'll give you a great example of this. A 381 00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 1: lot of men are of the opinion that, well, I'm 382 00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:01,760 Speaker 1: married to her, she and he's pretty issue. Once was well, 383 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 1: are you as handsome as you once were, Are you 384 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: as wonderful as you think you are? Well, she's had 385 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 1: kids now, and yeah, and you fart all the time 386 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,959 Speaker 1: and scratch yourself. I'm just speaking for myself. And your 387 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: breat's bad in the morning, and you stagger into the bathroom. 388 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:24,040 Speaker 1: Sometimes you throw up, and sometimes you're crass, and sometimes 389 00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: you're lazy, and you know you've lost your hair or 390 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:30,160 Speaker 1: you've gotten fat. None of us are what we were. 391 00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:33,560 Speaker 1: But the point of the love is that it endures. 392 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,360 Speaker 1: And so while she's not what she wants, wasn't, neither 393 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 1: are you. But what about being grateful? What about being grateful? 394 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,119 Speaker 1: A friend of mine, Kenny Allen, lives outside of Houston, 395 00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: about an hour out in Waller, and he posted a 396 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,800 Speaker 1: picture of his dinner last night and his wife had 397 00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,639 Speaker 1: made it for him. And I could see some people 398 00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:54,040 Speaker 1: because Houston is the Text mex capital of the world. 399 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,359 Speaker 1: There's no other Text Mex like in Houston. It's not 400 00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 1: even close. And I'm not trying to be provocative or 401 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,360 Speaker 1: spur a conversation should It's just sort of like saying 402 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 1: a man is a man and a woman as a woman, 403 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:05,840 Speaker 1: and you can argue that a woman can be a 404 00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:07,119 Speaker 1: man or a man could be a woman if they 405 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,680 Speaker 1: call himselves out. But you can argue that, but I'm 406 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,960 Speaker 1: not going to argue with you, because this is a 407 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,080 Speaker 1: factual thing. It's the best text max in the world. 408 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,240 Speaker 1: And he had made she had made him this text, Maxine, 409 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,879 Speaker 1: and he posted a picture of it that you know, 410 00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:26,480 Speaker 1: you know, Enchilada's at home, thanks Mama, something like that, 411 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: called his wife mama, the mother of their kids. And 412 00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 1: he was being grateful for such a small act. But 413 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,680 Speaker 1: he was being grateful for this act of love that 414 00:25:37,160 --> 00:25:41,439 Speaker 1: she had undertaken, for him being grateful for what we have. 415 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 1: You know, when people will tell me they're upset about 416 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,800 Speaker 1: their kid because their kids not studying hard enough in 417 00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,320 Speaker 1: school and not getting all a's, and it's not you know, 418 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 1: the star of the team is not this, and it's 419 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,199 Speaker 1: not that, and it's not this. I'll say, is your 420 00:25:55,280 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 1: child healthy? Be grateful for that. You ever been around 421 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 1: a parent of a child, it's not healthy a parent, 422 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:07,480 Speaker 1: it's had to bury a child. Well, it'll change your 423 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:11,920 Speaker 1: perspective in a minute. And if you're grateful for what 424 00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:16,320 Speaker 1: you have, it makes you a person that is happy. 425 00:26:17,400 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 1: Ingratitude is based in evil, It's based in selfishness, a 426 00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:26,480 Speaker 1: lack of self awareness, a lack of understanding of what 427 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:30,240 Speaker 1: other people do for you. So that's my lead up 428 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 1: to the most ungrateful person in public life that I 429 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:39,480 Speaker 1: can ever imagine is Michelle Obama. So she's out promoting 430 00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:41,480 Speaker 1: her book. That's the only time she goes out in 431 00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:43,960 Speaker 1: public because she wants people to give her money. And 432 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,920 Speaker 1: her book is called The Look, And the latest cut 433 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 1: we're going to play for you comes from her podcast. 434 00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:56,159 Speaker 1: The episode is titled The Power of Hair, Identity, Legacy 435 00:26:56,240 --> 00:27:05,359 Speaker 1: and Black Womanhood, and he says, black female beauty is 436 00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 1: so powerful we are owed respect. 437 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:14,159 Speaker 10: We have to start educating people about all kinds of beauty. Yes, 438 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 10: and our beauty is so powerful and so unique that 439 00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:23,199 Speaker 10: it is that it is worthy of the conversation, and 440 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:27,679 Speaker 10: it's worthy of demanding the respect that we're old for 441 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,399 Speaker 10: who we are and what we offer to the world. 442 00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:37,200 Speaker 1: Absolutely, absolutely, you know, it's good that a woman feels beautiful. 443 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: It is I encourage that. Courage my wife to feel beautiful, 444 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,360 Speaker 1: encourage my mom to feel beautiful. I think it's good 445 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,159 Speaker 1: that everyone feels beautiful. It's a natural thing. It's a 446 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:50,520 Speaker 1: good thing. If you don't feel beautiful, then that's unfortunate. 447 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 1: You don't have to be the perfect size, quote unquote perfect. 448 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 1: You don't have to be any of those things to 449 00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:04,199 Speaker 1: feel and be beautiful. But this woman is determined in 450 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: the most race based way to convince everybody that black 451 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 1: is better. You know why, because she feels inferior. Everything 452 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,119 Speaker 1: she accuses you of is actually what she's upset about. 453 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 1: She wishes she wasn't black. She doesn't like that she's black, 454 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,120 Speaker 1: and so she has to tell you how great black. 455 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 1: You don't need to do that. White women don't need 456 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,440 Speaker 1: to do that. Hispanic women don't do that. Asian women 457 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 1: don't need to do that. She also sat down with 458 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,320 Speaker 1: Amy Poehler where she was dumbfounded that someone would not 459 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:36,160 Speaker 1: take her advice. 460 00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:41,000 Speaker 10: People line up for my advice, and you're walking away 461 00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 10: like I'm stupid. It's like I've written books, I've given speeches. 462 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 1: And so I leave you now, friends with this bit 463 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,600 Speaker 1: of advice. If I may be so impertinent, be grateful. 464 00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,480 Speaker 1: Count your blessings, name them one by one. Count your blessings. 465 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,440 Speaker 1: See what God hath done on this drive room tonight 466 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,080 Speaker 1: or over the weekend, just take a moment right down 467 00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 1: on the list, what are you grateful for? Make the 468 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:12,640 Speaker 1: longest list you can. I bet you have more blessings. 469 00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,880 Speaker 1: You have more things to say grace over as we 470 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 1: approach Thanksgiving than you could ever ever fully elsns left 471 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 1: for killing, thank you, and good night.
