Hey, 177 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 4: I'm reading that the virtues of getting direct sunlight in 178 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:15,559 Speaker 4: the increased vitamin D exposure outweigh the old dermatologist's fear 179 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 4: of sunlight and skin cancer. 180 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:19,920 Speaker 2: What do you think about that? 181 00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:22,480 Speaker 4: And sometimes they haven't read on it lately, and they 182 00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 4: will go read and we'll engage in a conversation as 183 00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 4: a hobbyist in this subject. 184 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 2: But in any case, I added a. 185 00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 4: Concierge doctor, which is kind of that type of relationship 186 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 4: that you pay for you pay. I forget what his 187 00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:36,559 Speaker 4: is up front. I think it's twenty five hundred. Some 188 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,240 Speaker 4: of them charge more than that. I don't think any 189 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 4: of them charge less than that. But I know one 190 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 4: that charges seventy five hundred. And if you say to yourself, oh, 191 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 4: I don't pay that, not pay twenty five hundred urs 192 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:49,480 Speaker 4: some munch, then you're not a You know, we have 193 00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 4: a broad audience. Some people make twelve dollars an hour. 194 00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,760 Speaker 4: Some people are worth hundreds of millions of dollars. So 195 00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,640 Speaker 4: when I talk about things, everything is not suitable for everybody. 196 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,679 Speaker 4: And it's okay if you can't afford something. That doesn't 197 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:04,640 Speaker 4: mean I shouldn't talk about it, or I've lost a 198 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:06,679 Speaker 4: common touch, or I forgot where I can't. No, no, no, 199 00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 4: don't do that. Don't do that. That is beneath you, 200 00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:14,840 Speaker 4: and that won't be tolerated by me. There is kind 201 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 4: of a sweet spot of arrange that people make. So 202 00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:20,559 Speaker 4: whether you can call up twenty five hundred up front 203 00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,720 Speaker 4: to have that kind of relationship with a doctor, I 204 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 4: guess you have to make that decision. 205 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:27,200 Speaker 2: But I will say this, and nobody this talks about 206 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:27,959 Speaker 2: the tough teachings. 207 00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 4: I'm not your preacher here, but I will tell you this, 208 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 4: and I will say this again. This is important and 209 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,880 Speaker 4: this should convict a few of you. People will say 210 00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 4: to me, oh, I don't have let's take this in. 211 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 4: I don't have twenty five hund dollars to pay doctor. Okay, 212 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,319 Speaker 4: I understand, Yeah, I mean you got all this rich presents. Okay, 213 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 4: all right, I'm just looking at the other expenses that 214 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 4: you laid out that you really didn't that were completely 215 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 4: by choice. 216 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 2: So it's not that you don't have twenty five hundred dollars. 217 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:57,240 Speaker 2: For many people, this is the case. 218 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:01,040 Speaker 4: It's that you don't value that in life to put 219 00:13:01,040 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 4: twenty five hundred dollars on it. When people tell me 220 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 4: they don't want to eat it this way, they can't 221 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 4: afford to eat it this or that restaurant, and then 222 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 4: I go, well, you do do this. Yeah, So what 223 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 4: you mean is you don't value it that much, And 224 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:17,040 Speaker 4: that's okay. There are a lot of things I don't 225 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 4: do because I don't value something as part of my 226 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 4: overall mix of expenses to that level. 227 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 2: So if it cost me nothing, I do that. If 228 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 2: it cost me this amount, I'd never do it. If 229 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 2: it's somewhere along the sliding scale, I would do it. 230 00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 4: So for many people, twenty five hundred dollars you're upfront. 231 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 4: And this is true of a lot of stuff I 232 00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:41,160 Speaker 4: talk about. For many people that's nothing. They go, yeah, 233 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,440 Speaker 4: I drop that at dinner with expensive wine, and I 234 00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 4: do know people that do that. 235 00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:48,160 Speaker 2: And then there are other people that go, Okay, that pinches, 236 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 2: but I'll do. 237 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,199 Speaker 4: It, and the other people who say, look, I literally 238 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:53,599 Speaker 4: don't have a penny left over at the end of 239 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 4: the month. Okay, that's fine, but it's important that we 240 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 4: understand a difference between I can't afford something and I 241 00:14:00,840 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 4: don't value it enough to make other sacrifices in my life. 242 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:11,000 Speaker 4: I was shocked when Petru started as my trainer, and 243 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:12,080 Speaker 4: you pay. 244 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 2: Quarterly and up front. I wasn't sure. 245 00:14:15,320 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 4: I wanted to pay quarterly, but it wasn't sure I 246 00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 4: want to pay for training like that. And my wife said, 247 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 4: how about if you're fifty to fifty? I push you 248 00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 4: over the edge. I think you'll feel better if you train. 249 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 4: I said, huh, you care enough to give me that 250 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,560 Speaker 4: advice to kind of needle me when I didn't want to. Yeah, 251 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 4: I do. I think it's that important to you. Well, 252 00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 4: now I don't question it. It was brilliant. It was 253 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,720 Speaker 4: the best advice. My wife doesn't nag, she doesn't give 254 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 4: advice to every turn, but when she takes the time 255 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 4: to give me advice, I know that she knows that 256 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 4: she's risking that. I'm going to tell her. I don't 257 00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 4: want to be a hand packed husband whose wife tells 258 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 4: them what to do. How dare you so for her 259 00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:01,560 Speaker 4: to risk getting, you know, a SNA like that. She 260 00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 4: has to believe it's important. There again, are you going 261 00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 4: to pay good money for somebody to come to your 262 00:15:10,280 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 4: house and train you. And when I tell friends of mine, 263 00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:15,440 Speaker 4: they say, hey, I'm gonna train with Petro. 264 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 2: What do you think? 265 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 4: And I say, well, here's here's what I believed the 266 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,240 Speaker 4: cost to be, and here's what. And if someone says 267 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:23,680 Speaker 4: I can't afford it, and they drove up in one 268 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 4: hundred and thirty thousand dollars car, I said, no, no, no, no, 269 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 4: I choose not to afford it. There's a lot of 270 00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:30,400 Speaker 4: things we can afford. We have to be honest with 271 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 4: what we value. And that's okay. We each have our 272 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 4: own value, but let's not say we can't afford. 273 00:15:35,000 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 7: It till t me a second hand. 274 00:16:12,960 --> 00:16:14,800 Speaker 8: Got seven round. 275 00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 2: The place, three little. 276 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 7: Exact in the Sarsky. 277 00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,080 Speaker 2: He's the one to God, He's the one, the big. 278 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:31,120 Speaker 7: He's the one to go. 279 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 8: Holiday cat does do Sunday but last three times sad. 280 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 7: He's the one to go. He's the one. He's the one. 281 00:16:58,600 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 8: He's gonna be away. 282 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 4: So I'm gonna try to get the complete endorsement list 283 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 4: out tomorrow. I understand people want me to release it now, 284 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:46,760 Speaker 4: but just a word of caution, let's be reasonable here. 285 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 4: Voting starts on the seventeenth. I understand people need some 286 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:59,840 Speaker 4: sense of certainty in their lives. If I rush in 287 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 4: print a list today versus tomorrow versus next week. But 288 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 4: I am trying to get it out, how is that 289 00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:10,920 Speaker 4: going to change anything. You're not going to vote until 290 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 4: the seventeenth at the earliest. I guess you could be 291 00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 4: absentee voting. I mean, I love that people are fired 292 00:18:18,040 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 4: up to vote, but there are there My challenge so 293 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:24,840 Speaker 4: that you understand, it's not a question of being lazy. 294 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:26,879 Speaker 2: My challenge is. 295 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:35,239 Speaker 4: There are races where I sense that one candidate might 296 00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:39,199 Speaker 4: be better than the other, but I'm not sure how 297 00:18:39,320 --> 00:18:44,719 Speaker 4: much better to weigh in. And there are a lot 298 00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,240 Speaker 4: of races where I'm not going to weigh in because 299 00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 4: I just don't know enough or get enough of a 300 00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:52,879 Speaker 4: sense on a race. They give you an example of 301 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,479 Speaker 4: Galveston County District Attorney. I've got dear friends who are 302 00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 4: with the district attorney. I've got other folks who are 303 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 4: against the district attorney. I have not been able to 304 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 4: come to a conclusion as to who is better, and 305 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 4: I try to do the best I can. When I 306 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 4: say I would or am, depending on if I'm able 307 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 4: in that district to vote for somebody to have some 308 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:17,680 Speaker 4: basis for saying that somebody that I really trust says, 309 00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,680 Speaker 4: here's the reason I'm supporting them. So much of politics, 310 00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:25,879 Speaker 4: at the primary level, especially comes down to I go 311 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 4: to Churchy. The woman yesterday who said, I'm supporting this 312 00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 4: guy in Waller County. He's the best choice, he's great, 313 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 4: he should win the election. Okay, who's he running against? 314 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:42,880 Speaker 4: And she said, I have no idea, We just moved in. Well, 315 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 4: I don't know if that's how that works. I don't 316 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:50,479 Speaker 4: know how your guy is better than someone you don't know. However, 317 00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 4: is that the worst thing in politics? No, at least 318 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 4: she knows the guy she's supporting. At least she has 319 00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,920 Speaker 4: some basis for thinking he's going to do a good job. 320 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:02,240 Speaker 4: In most of the cases, we're never going to meet 321 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:06,600 Speaker 4: these people. And almost everybody in politics i've met I 322 00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,239 Speaker 4: met from back when I was a candidate or an 323 00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:13,879 Speaker 4: office holder and going to events. I intentionally don't go 324 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:18,000 Speaker 4: to events now because I find it hypocritical if I 325 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 4: go to an event Lincoln Day dinner or whatever, and 326 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:29,159 Speaker 4: the office holders are there. Office holders most of you know, 327 00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:32,960 Speaker 4: to survive in politics, you have to have a skill 328 00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:37,919 Speaker 4: set that the average person doesn't have and the average 329 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 4: most people hate politicians, and in some cases for good reason. 330 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:45,119 Speaker 4: But I would say this, if you ran far and 331 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,480 Speaker 4: were elected to office, there are people who currently like 332 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,520 Speaker 4: you who would not like you, and you would not 333 00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:51,119 Speaker 4: have changed. 334 00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 2: That is a fact. 335 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 4: You would still be the same person. Because I'll take 336 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:03,440 Speaker 4: an easy question. Let's say you become the commissioner of 337 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 4: these four blocks, a homeowner association president, whatever it is, 338 00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 4: and there is a question as to whether a speed 339 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 4: bump should be put on Smith Street, and the engineer 340 00:21:14,840 --> 00:21:17,360 Speaker 4: says the most effective place to put the speed bump 341 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:22,680 Speaker 4: is one third of the way each direction to slow them. 342 00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 4: That'll keep the speed at a certain speed the whole 343 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 4: way down. And you've got the mommies on the street 344 00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 4: whose kids are out playing in the yard all American 345 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:33,840 Speaker 4: rock well painting, and you've got people using that as 346 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:37,840 Speaker 4: a cut through because ways shows you can go there 347 00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,000 Speaker 4: instead of the main street. All right, So we need 348 00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 4: a speed bump because we've had some kids just about 349 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 4: get run over in this street and kids should be 350 00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,640 Speaker 4: able to play on their own street, and we can't 351 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 4: change ways, and we got cars coming through and they're 352 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:53,240 Speaker 4: not aware that we got kids out there playing, right, 353 00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:55,399 Speaker 4: speed bump, no brainer. 354 00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 2: So you put the speed bump out. 355 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 4: But as you're doing that, you got the people on 356 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,119 Speaker 4: either side of where the speed bump is going to 357 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 4: be in front of their house who don't want it 358 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,400 Speaker 4: there because they know, which is the case that you're 359 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 4: going to get an increase in noise. You're going to 360 00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 4: get the sound of the compression of the breaks and 361 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 4: the screeching when people realize there's a speed bump there 362 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 4: and all that goes with that, and they don't want it. 363 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,800 Speaker 4: That is reducing their enjoyment of their property. So now 364 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:33,639 Speaker 4: those people come out and you say, well, protecting lives 365 00:22:34,200 --> 00:22:39,080 Speaker 4: is more important than avoiding you being annoyed, all right, Okay, 366 00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,920 Speaker 4: so that's a reasonable thing to come to the conclusion of. Secondly, 367 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 4: you say, look, I got more mommies on the street 368 00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 4: and they're more active than the people complaining because they 369 00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:50,640 Speaker 4: don't want a speedbone from their house. 370 00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,040 Speaker 2: So now what do you do where they like it 371 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:54,439 Speaker 2: or not. You demonize the. 372 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:59,520 Speaker 4: People who are pestered by the speedboat, so you make 373 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:03,159 Speaker 4: it out because they're mad at you. You justify that 374 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 4: as you know what, I guess because their kids are 375 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,320 Speaker 4: grown and moved off. They don't give a damn about kids, 376 00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,560 Speaker 4: But I do because I have kids and I love kids. 377 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:15,680 Speaker 4: And those people go straight to hell. Right, that's how 378 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:17,680 Speaker 4: you justify it, because now you're under attack, and what 379 00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 4: do we do when're under attack? 380 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:19,600 Speaker 2: Fight or flight? 381 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:23,240 Speaker 4: Most of us fight. So now you push back, and 382 00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 4: in their frustration, because they knew you, they supported you 383 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 4: for this position, they're going, hey, uh, can't we fight? 384 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 4: Can't we put an officer on the street? There are alternatives, 385 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,399 Speaker 4: because now that thing is going to be there, and 386 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 4: it keeps us up at night and I already have 387 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,080 Speaker 4: trouble sleeping, and it's a real health problem. Is there 388 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 4: something else we can do to slow the traffic down? 389 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:52,080 Speaker 4: Then put these damn things. They're a huge hassle. Nobody 390 00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 4: likes them once you put them in, which it turns 391 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 4: out to be true, and on and on and on. 392 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,920 Speaker 4: So now you're mad at the people who don't want 393 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 4: it there, okay, And and so if you ask that 394 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:06,680 Speaker 4: person about the homeowners president or whatever, they'd tea you 395 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,920 Speaker 4: what an awful person. They're not an awful person. So 396 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:13,240 Speaker 4: it's not the case that every politician is a horrible person. 397 00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 4: That's not true. 398 00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 2: It's just that your own separate side of them on 399 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 2: an issue. When the sun goes. 400 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 1: Down on my side of town, that los sun feeling 401 00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 1: comes to minor. 402 00:24:29,960 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 7: Overorld term. 403 00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 8: Blue. 404 00:24:38,840 --> 00:24:39,640 Speaker 7: There's a run. 405 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:44,199 Speaker 2: Down bar across the railroad front. I got a table 406 00:24:44,400 --> 00:24:53,040 Speaker 2: for two win bass justin Vincent. I said, they are 407 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:53,639 Speaker 2: losing you. 408 00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 8: Life. 409 00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 1: Spend most every night. He's the lights of a kneeon. 410 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 8: Now if you one and. 411 00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:13,960 Speaker 2: Almost here on the. 412 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:19,520 Speaker 1: Watch your bro country stay sitting out of the bee 413 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:27,800 Speaker 1: seventy on.

But that plaque closes with 428 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 10: a quote from a reporter who asked Borglam why he 429 00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 10: selected that region for that monument, you know, as remote 430 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 10: as it was even more so back then, and his 431 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 10: answer was that he wanted to pick a place so high, 432 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 10: so remote and so difficult to reach that to tear 433 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 10: it down would basically be cost prohibitive. It would be 434 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 10: more dangerous, more expensive, and not even worth the effort 435 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 10: to tear it down. And that's his reason behind it. 436 00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:58,000 Speaker 2: Now. 437 00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 10: I think it's sold today, as you know, to bring 438 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:05,879 Speaker 10: people to the area for tourism and that. But his 439 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 10: original vision was to put a monument to our founding 440 00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:13,119 Speaker 10: fathers in such a difficult place to reach that it 441 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 10: couldn't be tore down. And to see that in twenty fifteen, 442 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,280 Speaker 10: it wasn't too long after that that, you know, they 443 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 10: started tearing statue down and throwing them in rivers and 444 00:27:22,680 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 10: painting them and I don't know, I just wanted to 445 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 10: share that with you, and I think it's a fascinating 446 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:29,080 Speaker 10: point of that. 447 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,640 Speaker 2: It's, first of all, I'm glad you held. 448 00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 4: Obviously that moved you, and obviously it came to mind 449 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,359 Speaker 4: today and you recognized that it was further to the 450 00:27:42,440 --> 00:27:46,040 Speaker 4: point of, you know, the tearing down of idols and 451 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 4: monuments and statues, as well as that I had made 452 00:27:49,560 --> 00:27:51,200 Speaker 4: a Mount Rushmore. 453 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 2: Comment. 454 00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,520 Speaker 4: But it obviously hit you, and it hits me. No, 455 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,879 Speaker 4: obviously not as much because I wasn't there with you 456 00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 4: when you did it. But in the telling, it's interesting 457 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 4: this concept of, you know, the artist being afraid, being 458 00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:11,960 Speaker 4: conscious that there was a real risk that his work 459 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 4: could be destroyed. You know, there was a movement a 460 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:21,280 Speaker 4: few years ago when the left was bullying and terrorizing 461 00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:25,919 Speaker 4: Middle America over tearing down the monuments of our history, 462 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 4: and most Americans, the nice neighbor of the naive neighbor, 463 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,359 Speaker 4: don't want to stand up for anything. And they said 464 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 4: of the man who chiseled Mount Rushmore, which in and 465 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 4: of itself, aside from the symbolism and importance to you 466 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 4: and me, don to every American is a piece of 467 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 4: art of the highest order, particularly the scale of the 468 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 4: damn thing, you know when we see it.

And you don't realize how big some of 477 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 4: these exotics are until you get right up on them, 478 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:28,880 Speaker 4: and then all of a sudden, Wow, I only ever 479 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:34,880 Speaker 4: see them from a distance.

But actually it's not our founding vice the 484 00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:53,719 Speaker 4: only founding father well too, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. 485 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 4: But then, but then sort of a fifty years in between, 486 00:29:57,880 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 4: you've got Abraham Lincoln and then you've got Teddy Roosevelt. 487 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,120 Speaker 4: And there's an argument to be made that Roosevelt does 488 00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:07,120 Speaker 4: not belong in that conversation, A very strong argument, might 489 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:10,600 Speaker 4: I say, And I know a lot of people whether 490 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:14,120 Speaker 4: it's the Teddy Bear or whatever, but I would argue 491 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,200 Speaker 4: that if you're going to keep Teddy Roosevelt in the conversation. 492 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 4: It is not because of his presidency, which in many 493 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 4: ways I disagree with. 494 00:30:23,320 --> 00:30:29,000 Speaker 2: It would be because and the sight of Mount rushmore 495 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 2: so I speaks of this. 496 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:34,080 Speaker 4: It was because of the idea of exploring and enjoying 497 00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 4: and conserving the Great American West, and Teddy Roosevelt, to me, 498 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 4: that's his greatest legacy was his passion for the great 499 00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 4: outdoors and particularly the lore of the Great American West, 500 00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 4: and conservation through efforts that were not just don't hunt, 501 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 4: don't fish, but quite the opposite, the strategic use of 502 00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:57,160 Speaker 4: our lands and our livestock. I do think he deserves 503 00:30:57,240 --> 00:31:00,600 Speaker 4: to be placed, but in that sense, he's like a 504 00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:04,600 Speaker 4: lot of other people, whether a Jane Goodall or Jacques Cousteau. 505 00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:08,520 Speaker 2: Or you know, other zoo keepers. So in any case, 506 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:10,480 Speaker 2: don what do you ride? What's your bike? 507 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 10: Man? It was Arnie Davison Custom Superglide, and look I 508 00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:17,719 Speaker 10: got rid of that thing. 509 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:18,960 Speaker 2: I love living, you know. 510 00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,080 Speaker 10: On that road trip to Sturgis, I talked to Jesus 511 00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 10: more than I ever have in my life. It was fun, 512 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:29,800 Speaker 10: glad I did it twelve days on a bike. I 513 00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 10: was ready to get home and get off of it, 514 00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:33,360 Speaker 10: and I bought it. I was going to ride with 515 00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 10: my dad. He's been riding for forty years, and then 516 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:37,480 Speaker 10: he passed. We didn't have much time to do that. 517 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 10: So anyway, I got an aduro bike, a trail bike 518 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:42,520 Speaker 10: now that I get on occasionally. 519 00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 2: And what'd you give for that superglide. 520 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:49,240 Speaker 10: Sixty five hundred? I bought it used in twenty fourteen, 521 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 10: made the trip twenty fifteen. I think I sold in 522 00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 10: twenty seventeen or so. 523 00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:57,680 Speaker 2: Interesting. 524 00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:02,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, my nephew, he married my niece. Kyle Hazelwood's his name. 525 00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:05,520 Speaker 4: He's a pH d in geology for occidental but he's 526 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:09,160 Speaker 4: a redneck, redneck. He can fix anything. And he went 527 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,040 Speaker 4: to mining school up there, not far from Mount Rushmore. 528 00:32:12,280 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 4: But he and his dad, and his dad lives in 529 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 4: Virginia where they're from, and his dad rides out and 530 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,480 Speaker 4: they got big Harley's and they ride all over the country. 531 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:20,960 Speaker 2: And he's got the map on the wall and all that. 532 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 4: And he talks about the solitude and the free thinking 533 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:29,920 Speaker 4: and the unencumbered you know, when in your face. 534 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,880 Speaker 2: And your free thoughts and all alone. And I mean 535 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:34,640 Speaker 2: it sounds envy. I'm not a bite guy, but it 536 00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:35,760 Speaker 2: does sound pretty awesome.
