1
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:09,239
Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, luck and load.

00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 2: So Michael vari Show is on.

3
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:27,480
Speaker 1: The air, speaking of West Point, where United States Senate

4
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: candidate current Congressman Wesley Hunt went, where candidate for Congress

5
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: alex Miheler went. Wesley Hunt would go on to be

6
00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: an Apache helicopter pilot serving flying I think fifty five missions,

7
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: a lot of missions, a lot of combat missions. Alex

8
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: Miheler would be a bomb technician. You talk about cold

9
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: blooded ramon, cold blooded hurt locker stuff. You're walking up

10
00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: on a bomb to defuse it. I mean, that's you

11
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: talk about home under pressure man. So we came across

12
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: the story of a young man at Splendora High School

13
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: in the Splendora Independent School District named Isaac Shoemate, and

14
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: they're very proud because he's the first kid from the

15
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 1: Splendora School District to ever go to West Point. It's

16
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 1: a really really big deal to get to go to

17
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: West Point. That it is it is so much tougher.

18
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 1: We were so excited that Crockett got into UT It's

19
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: so much tougher than that. The service academies are so

20
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 1: hard to get into. You can't believe how hard it

21
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 1: is to get in there. It's harder than you can

22
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: you can ever imagine Naval Air Force Army. It's it's incredible.

23
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: It's a huge, huge hues honor, and it's a special

24
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: kind of person who goes there.

25
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 2: And Isaac Shoemate is our guest. Welcome to the program.

26
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 2: Good morning, son.

27
00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,040
Speaker 1: I have done a little checking on you, and you

28
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: should be very proud of where you are now. It

29
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: doesn't carry over, You've got to prove yourself again, but

30
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: you should be very proud because some folks I did

31
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: a little checking with you on are extremely impressed with

32
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: the young man you are at this point.

33
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 2: In your life.

34
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 3: Yes, sir, thank you.

35
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 2: I spoke to your dad, George this morning, and how

36
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 2: would you describe him.

37
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 3: With one word, my biggest motivator.

38
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 2: Well, let me ask you a question. I said.

39
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 1: We had a number of conversations this morning trying to

40
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 1: get you on and I was in the middle of

41
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: a political interview with Wesley Hunt, who, by the way,

42
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: Wesley Hunt is running for the US Senate, is going

43
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 1: to be calling you this afternoon to invite you to

44
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 1: be his guest at the West Point dinner. I think

45
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 1: he's the speaker and he's very excited for you. He's

46
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: got some words of encouragement for you, which you'll need.

47
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 2: You will need.

48
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: So I called your dad back about the fourth or

49
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 1: fifth time we had talked this morning, and I call,

50
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: I have like a one minute packet of time where

51
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: I go, Hey, can you get him to do this?

52
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 2: Can I got?

53
00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: The superintendent says he's going to call the teachers and

54
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 1: telling me get And I called. I'm about the fifth

55
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: time just to mess with him, and I said, Hey,

56
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: what can you do for me on a thirty year

57
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:10,720
Speaker 1: perfect credit score? Twenty percent down loan to value? This

58
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: thing checks out? And he quoted me in the sixes

59
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: and I've already been offered high fives. He doesn't really

60
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: cut these deals very lean, does he?

61
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 2: Like?

62
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: I feel like I feel like he built a little

63
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: cushion in there for the Shoemate family.

64
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. It's there like maybe you know,

65
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: maybe Isaac could fly first class up to New York.

66
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 3: Hey, you know, whatever we have to do.

67
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 2: Clearly, how many times have you visited West Point so far?

68
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 3: I visited four times.

69
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 2: Why did you want to go to West Point so really?

70
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 4: Before I ever received the offer to play football there?

71
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 4: Or talked to his black share when he came down

72
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 4: to recruit me. I never really heard of West Point.

73
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 4: I had no clue of its existence or really any

74
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 4: of the academies other than just Army football, Air Force, Navy,

75
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 4: et cetera. And so my first visit, you know, I

76
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 4: wasn't real sure. You know, this was very different compared

77
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 4: to any other college I've been to. And then my

78
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 4: second visit for the spring game, you know, do you

79
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 4: get these goose bumps? And I told my dad, whenever

80
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 4: you go there, and it's like, like I said, it

81
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 4: is completely different from any other place.

82
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,360
Speaker 3: And when you go there, you just.

83
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 4: Get these goosebumps, and you know, it just excites me.

84
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 4: And I want the challenge to graduate from there and

85
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 4: to have the opportunities that it can provide me.

86
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 2: Are you eighteen, Isaac, Yes, sir, just turn eighteen.

87
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: I have a son who's a high school senior as well,

88
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: Na Crockett marcos Berry. You know, at eighteen you will

89
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:43,880
Speaker 1: be enamored of the traditions of West Point. But when

90
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: you're my age, which is fifty five, which is three

91
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 1: times your age, or I'm sure you think of as

92
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: five hundred Methusela type thing. You will look back on

93
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 1: that experience and the tradition and the fact that you

94
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: were walking the hallways and the steps of some of

95
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: the greatest men in this country's history. I don't know

96
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: that that will fully sink in when you're eighteen nineteen twenty, but.

97
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 2: You will pull out the Howitzer the old.

98
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:13,039
Speaker 1: Yearbook when you're my age, and you will look back

99
00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: and say, Wow, what an experience that was. And it

100
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: will be So your middle name is Stone, I've come

101
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 1: to learn, and they call it Stone. That feels like

102
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: the kind of thing that when when when George Shoemate

103
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 1: sees his baby boy and is giving him a name, says,

104
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: I want a rock solid kid who's going to play

105
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: middle linebacker, and his middle name shall be Stonemon. Can

106
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: you imagine that, man, You're setting a kid up like that,

107
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:45,320
Speaker 1: right Stone, I'm just letting it sink in. Isaac, Isaac

108
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: Stone Shoemate and they call you Stony.

109
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 2: How good a middle linebacker are you? I mean really?

110
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 4: I mean I would definitely put myself the above average class.

111
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 1: So he said, your hero? Are you know your favorite player?

112
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: A hero is Christian McCaffrey. But McCaffrey's a running back.

113
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: Were you just not fast enough to running back? Or

114
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: did you want to just hit people? Why are you

115
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: a middle linebacker?

116
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 3: You know?

117
00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 4: You know, Christiancaffrey though, has been my favorite player, you know,

118
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 4: just one for his spiritual guy to start his play,

119
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 4: but just his craft and the running back side of

120
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 4: the field, and uh, you know, I just I feel

121
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 4: like I'm a little bit too mean to be a

122
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 4: running back.

123
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 3: You know.

124
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 4: I like to take people's souls rather than you know,

125
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 4: running them over.

126
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 2: That's what I want. The linebacker. You probably don't remember

127
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 2: the name Dick Dick Buckers, do you. I have heard

128
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 2: the name at.

129

Speaker 2: He was a bad dude. There's some middle linebackers throughout.

133
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: There was a little guy, little black squad guy named

134
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 1: Mike Singletary went to Baylor undergrad and played for the

135
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: Bears middle linebacker on the eighty five team that won

136

Speaker 1: it all. And he was another one that just they

137
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: played a game against Lamar. There was a magazine article

138
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:03,680
Speaker 1: about it years ago. He knocked a guy clean out.

139
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: They had to take him to the hospital. It was

140

00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 4: I don't know if there's a certain way to get

227
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,920

Speaker 1: I'm impressed that whether he's a good dude or not

238
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:37,800

299
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,320

Speaker 4: so you know the first part of the digestive system

304
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 4: is going to start in the mouth with the teeth.

305
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 3: They do not have the K nine teeth to be

306
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:43,040

312
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:56,800

314
00:14:58,200 --> 00:14:58,960

319
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 1: that I consider the line of the day something that

320
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,880
Speaker 1: I said. But the line of the day is the

321
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 1: line of the day. Although the line of the day

322
00:15:26,240 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: might have been bumped when I asked Isaac shuemaate, what

323
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: is superpower? I like to hit people. I like to

324
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: hit them. You know, you need people that are made

325
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: that way, you really do. What's the line by orwell,

326
00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 1: we sleep, we sleep safely in our bed because rough

327
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: men will visit violence on those who seek to do

328
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: us harm.

329
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:50,560
Speaker 2: Something like that.

330
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,920
Speaker 1: Visit violence. That's always a line. I like, we seek

331
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: safely in our beds at night. We see we sleep

332
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: safely in our beds at night because rough men stand

333
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: Eddie's rough men stand ready to visit violence on those.

334
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 2: Who seek to do us harm. Something like that.

335
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: That's a good line, George orwell, Eric Blair. It is

336
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,120
Speaker 1: a very William line. Oh I see what you're saying. Yeah, oh,

337
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 1: you're right. Actually, you know he was a journalist. Ramon

338
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 1: Journalists used to be such a such an exalted term journalist.

339
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 1: I grew up viewing journalists as as fact finders. I

340
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: viewed journal journalists like Jonah Salk, or Einstein or Newton

341
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: or Linnaeus. You know, guys that are gregor Mendel, Guys

342
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: that but for them, we would never have developed theories

343
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: and transportation and communication. I mean, say what you will,

344
00:16:45,120 --> 00:16:47,600
Speaker 1: I view Elon Musk in that category. I think we

345
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: will look back one hundred years from I mean, I

346
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: won't be around, but well might he might fix he

347
00:16:51,040 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: might find something. He might put that neural link on me.

348
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:55,480
Speaker 1: He might wire me up to newer link. I don't

349
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: want to live that long. I spend too much time

350
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: in the old folks home. I just want to live

351
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,600
Speaker 1: my natural life and check out. You get to be

352
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,199
Speaker 1: too old. It's not man, it's rough, I tell you,

353
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 1: it's rough. I am so thankful my dad has kept

354
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,880
Speaker 1: he ascenient to this day. So he you know, look,

355
00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: he's not as sharp as he was thirty years ago,

356
00:17:15,640 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: but who is. But he pretty much knows what the

357
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: heck's going on. And I'm grateful for that, because I

358
00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:22,280
Speaker 1: will tell you spending as much time in the old

359
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: folks some as I do. There's a lot of people,

360
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:27,920
Speaker 1: you know, all you people worried about longevity. I got

361
00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: a dirty little secret. You look at a number, you're like,

362
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:33,520
Speaker 1: I want to live to be one hundred. You've been

363
00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 1: around anybody, it's a hundred. I want to keep my

364
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: people around as long as I can, as long as

365
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 1: they know where they are. But there's some people that

366
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: hang around a long time and life is not good.

367
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: Your buttthole hurts, you leak, your joints hurt everything hurts,

368
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 1: and you know the thing they don't tell you. I'm

369
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,120
Speaker 1: at a point in my life at fifty five, which

370
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 1: I've mentioned to you twenty times today for some weird reason.

371
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 1: I'm at a point in my life where a lot

372
00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: of people I know's parents are dying, right, and a

373
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: lot of people who were my mentors. I never had

374
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:11,440
Speaker 1: mentors who were my peers. In fact, once I got

375
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 1: to college, I didn't run with my peers. I ran

376
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 1: with old people because old people had time to train

377
00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:23,439
Speaker 1: and mentor a young person. My peers were busy being peers.

378
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:25,479
Speaker 1: They had nothing to offer me. So I sought out

379
00:18:25,480 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 1: people who were older than me to help me, guide

380
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: me open doors, and they were in a position to

381
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: help me. So now a lot of those people have passed.

382
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:36,320
Speaker 1: You know, it's been ten years since Walter Sively passed.

383
00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:38,240
Speaker 1: Not a day goes by. It's like, it's just like

384
00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:39,920
Speaker 1: my brother. Not a day that goes by that I

385
00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,040
Speaker 1: don't say his cell phone number in my head and

386
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,240
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna call Walter. Sometimes something will happen and

387
00:18:46,280 --> 00:18:48,480
Speaker 1: my wife will say, gosh, I wish Walter was alive.

388
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: He would love to know that. So and so just

389
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,000
Speaker 1: called you. He'd get such a kick out of that

390
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Pleman's rites, Zori, Yesterday, you spoke on the show

391
00:18:59,440 --> 00:19:02,040
Speaker 1: about a show on I'm sorry you spoke of the

392
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:06,200
Speaker 1: show on Prime as a Prime network about Bum Phillips

393
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: called Love You.

394
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 2: Bum.

395
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: Just wanted to say thank you. I don't look at

396
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,000
Speaker 1: Prime that much, and I did not know such a

397
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,879
Speaker 1: show existed until you mentioned it last night. I rented

398
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: it and it was great. Brought back a lot of memories,

399
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,520
Speaker 1: and I learned something I didn't know. Being a marine,

400
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 1: I had no idea Bum was also a marine. I

401
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: found that surprising because we, as Marines, are taught a

402
00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 1: lengthy list of celebrities, famous people who earned the title

403
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:32,160
Speaker 1: of marine, and his name was never included. I already

404
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:36,959
Speaker 1: liked him, now even more. I truly enjoyed the show. Well, great, Jeffrey,

405
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: but you don't mention my four appearances in it. Could

406
00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: have thrown a little singer, just a throwaway line there

407
00:19:42,520 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: and the end. By the way, you were great too, Michael.

408
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: But no, as we just take that for granted. I

409
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 1: guess Ozar doesn't need a compliment today, does he? Guess

410
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: he's had all the compliments he needs for today, he

411
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: can just yep, don't even worry about his mental health

412
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:03,159
Speaker 1: need for an occasional kind word, you know from a stranger.

413
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: If you're mad that we had Wesley Parish Hunt on

414
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 1: today and not Warren Kenneth Paxton, check make sure Warren's

415
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 1: his first.

416
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 2: I think it is.

417
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 1: Not Ken Paxton. Worry not Ken Paxton was supposed to

418
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,960
Speaker 1: be our guest this morning. Something came up. I said, look,

419
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 1: don't worry about it. I'll put you on whenever you

420
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: want to be put on. It is Warren Kenneth back, Okay,

421
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: thank you. So I said, no, no, no, no, no, do

422
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 1: not worry about that, because that's again the story is

423
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 1: about me. It's a very accommodative, very nice person. Did

424
00:20:35,200 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: you take away from that the way I wanted you

425
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 1: to do? You know, just me being made as I

426
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,400
Speaker 1: just do and do so. He will be our guest

427
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 1: tomorrow morning. But if you were wondering, hey, that's not fair.

428
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 1: Life's not fair. I don't claim to be fair. I

429
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:49,879
Speaker 1: do have opinions. And a friend of mine yesterday said, hey,

430
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:51,879
Speaker 1: could you lay off on Brisco Caine? He's my buddy,

431
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: And I said, what do you mean? Well, he's such

432
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:57,120
Speaker 1: a nice guy, and maybe he is. I honestly don't

433
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:59,480
Speaker 1: know him. And he said, well, he's a nice guy,

434
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 1: and this is friend of mine who's saying this. And

435
00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,840
Speaker 1: I said, okay, he can be a nice guy when

436
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:07,880
Speaker 1: he loses. But kind of like Isaac shuemaate, I play

437
00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: to win. I you know this, This isn't the question

438
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 1: of who's going to be the homecoming king. There are

439
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:15,840
Speaker 1: real consequences to who serves in Congress, in the State House,

440
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,520
Speaker 1: and the governor's office and Lieutenant governor's office and comptroller

441
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 1: and all that. There are real consequences to that. And

442
00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: when I truly believe that Alex Meeler would be a

443
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:29,480
Speaker 1: very different congressman and a much better congressman than Briscoe Kane,

444
00:21:29,960 --> 00:21:32,040
Speaker 1: and when I can show you why I believe that,

445
00:21:32,400 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 1: you don't have to agree with me. Lord knows I've

446
00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: been wrong before. I'm not rushlingball. I'm not niney nine

447
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: point six percent. I brought Dan Crenshaw around when he

448
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: was in third place and got him to a runoff

449
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,360
Speaker 1: and got him over the finish line. Because you trusted

450
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: me and I failed you. There is no doubt in

451
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 1: my mind I failed you. I did not know him

452
00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,719
Speaker 1: well enough to have done that. That was a favorite

453
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,480
Speaker 1: to friends who I love an adoor to this day.

454
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 1: And if I'm completely honest, without getting anybody else in trouble,

455
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:03,359
Speaker 1: the people who I knew around who wanted to help

456
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,760
Speaker 1: Dan Crenshaw are not impressed with Dan Crenshaw today.

457
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 2: We'll leave that at that. But let me just.

458
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: Say this, I do care passionately about this, and I

459
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 1: am mindful not to go so scorched earth that at

460
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: the end of all of this, I can't get you

461
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 1: to support that person in November because it would just

462
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 1: be beyond the pale. But I also believe that it really, really,

463
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:35,720
Speaker 1: really really matters. You know, it matters who's going to

464
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: do open heart surgery around you, who's going to do

465
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: brain surgery on you? And you can tell me that

466
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: this guy is not a good surgeon and he's a

467
00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 1: horrible person, and he played dungeons and dragons when he

468
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: was a kid naked and it was weird.

469
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 2: And then I find out.

470
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 1: You're lying when you're not a good surgeon and you've

471
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: been sued ten times for it and lost your license twice,

472
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: and he's a better search. So so it matters. It

473
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 1: matters who holds these office. And I take that to heart,

474
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 1: and that's why I get so passionate about these damned elections.

475
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 1: If you're wondering, Radio Michael Berry, I hate to do

476
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,239
Speaker 1: this cut and I do appreciate it.

477
00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 2: I should have asked you can you play Jump?

478
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 5: So?

479
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 2: Can you play the Jerry Jeff version?

480
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 1: Jump?

481
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 2: Just just a minute? If I could.

482
00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: Folks on the art of storytelling. At the end of

483
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 1: the day, it's not the things we build, the monuments

484
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:39,199
Speaker 1: we erect, the titles we hold. It's the stories you

485
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:44,360
Speaker 1: have to tell. And Jerry Jeff was so good at

486
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 1: the storytelling that New Yorker came down to Texas looks

487
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 1: like Alex muler Hey was born here. He comes down

488
00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:55,400
Speaker 1: to Texas, puts on a cowboy hat, figures out how

489
00:23:55,400 --> 00:24:00,080
Speaker 1: to wear boots, studies towns Van's ant and realizes I

490
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:03,000
Speaker 1: want to tell stories in the Texas way. And did

491
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,879
Speaker 1: he ever? It's a true story, the mister Bojangles story.

492
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:07,720
Speaker 1: Oh you found it, Oh you got the story with it? Okay,

493
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:12,320
Speaker 1: this is I say this for this reason. I don't

494
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 1: care if you run a forklift all day. I don't

495
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,200
Speaker 1: care if you're a hotshot driver, the receptionist at the

496
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 1: doctor's office. Everybody is a storyteller. Everybody is a story preachers, teachers, lawyers,

497
00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: You're all stories. When you study the art of storytelling,

498
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: our oral tradition of story to everybody can tell stories better.

499
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: Everybody can every report you fillow storytelling. If we taught

500
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,600
Speaker 1: the importance of storytelling, this you got to fall in. Okay,

501
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,680
Speaker 1: this is Jerry. This is storytelling.

502
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,720
Speaker 2: One O one. This is a beautiful story.

503
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,800
Speaker 1: He's thrown in jail and you got this bum, this

504
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: drunk bum and everybody in there. This is like sing

505
00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,360
Speaker 1: me back home. This is that moment where you want

506
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,520
Speaker 1: to be in the prison to experience this moment of

507
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: this drunk Who is otis from? Anyway? Play it so

508
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,679
Speaker 1: the candidates I am voting for you can find at

509
00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,560

510
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:10,280

Speaker 1: the voting booth with you. Early voting begins on Monday.

512
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 1: Let me just say this, You're going to find yourself

513
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:26,199
Speaker 1: invariably feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, confused, paralyzed by the lack of

514
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 1: knowledge and discernment. You have regarding the candidates. That's natural.

515
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 1: Embrace that. Okay, there's a lot of positions out there,

516
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,560
Speaker 1: a lot of them, and you can't know them. It's

517
00:25:38,600 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: every two years. Don't feel shame over that. It doesn't

518
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: make you not smart, doesn't make you a bad citizen

519
00:25:45,119 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 1: of the Republic. Okay, you're busy.

520
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:49,080
Speaker 2: By the way.

521
00:25:50,440 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: Do you know every teacher that your kid has this year?

522
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 1: Maybe you don't. Do you know the name of the

523
00:25:56,720 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 1: head of the cafeteria program, No you don't, But that

524
00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 1: has more impact on your life than a lot of

525
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 1: other things. Do you know the name of all the

526
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 1: assistant coaches of your kids football team?

527
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:05,400
Speaker 2: Probably not?

528
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 1: You know the name of the assistant baseball coach on

529
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:08,600
Speaker 1: your kids baseball team?

530
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:08,959
Speaker 2: Maybe not.

531
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: Doesn't make you a bad person, So first of all,

532
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:16,359
Speaker 1: do the best you can do, show up and vote early.

533
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:20,960
Speaker 1: You don't have to be a genius in statistics to

534
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:25,680
Speaker 1: understand this. But everybody votes in November, A massive people

535
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: vote in November. But in the March primary, which starts

536
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 1: on Monday, almost nobody votes. What if three people voted

537
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: for who would be our president and you're one of

538
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,680
Speaker 1: those three, you'd be feeling pretty good. All you have

539
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: to do is one of the other two votes with you,

540
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,160
Speaker 1: and you got to elect our president. But your vote

541
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: is extremely deluded, right drop in the ocean. Well, you're

542
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 1: one of three in the primary. Very few people going

543
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 1: to run. Okay, let's start there. So your vote matters.

544
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 1: That's not some bs hype. It matters. It matters more

545
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:06,879
Speaker 1: than normally went number one, number two, from who your

546
00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: precinct chairman is, to your state rep to your state Senator,

547
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 1: to your congressman to your governor.

548
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, it feels like a lot.

549
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 1: And yes there is noise, as they call it, like

550
00:27:17,320 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: walking along the strip in Las Vegas, and all of

551
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: that can feel like it's inducing an epileptic seizure. I

552
00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: get it, of course it can. There is no reason

553
00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 1: to be angry that candidates are running ads on radio

554
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 1: or television. There's no reason to be mad at them.

555
00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:39,920
Speaker 1: I've been a candidate. Imagine for a moment that you're

556
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:45,920
Speaker 1: a candidate. You're Chad Nakanishi running for Congress in your district.

557
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 1: Nobody knows you. But if you got there, you do

558
00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 1: the best you could. You do the best for amara,

559
00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,680
Speaker 1: You do the best for your son, for your wife,

560
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 1: for your family's history and legacy and future.

561
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 2: I mean, you would really do the best. You'd be the.

562
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,680
Speaker 1: Best congressman ever, at least be most conscientious. But how

563
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:10,280
Speaker 1: do you get people to know who you are? How

564
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:12,919
Speaker 1: are you going to get it? Well, if you can

565
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,160
Speaker 1: raise any money, which is very hard to do. People

566
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:16,840
Speaker 1: don't like to part with their money, even rich people.

567
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,000
Speaker 1: If you could raise any money, then you'd spend that

568
00:28:20,040 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 1: money saying your name again and again and again. How

569
00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: else are you ever going to know their names? So

570
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: it's kind of cognitive dissonance that we go, I don't

571
00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 1: even know who is jackassid are the running, and five

572
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 1: minutes later we go always said, some tell us who

573
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: they are they're running.

574
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:37,560
Speaker 2: You're not a bad person. I'm not ridiculing you. You're

575
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:39,280
Speaker 2: doing the best you can. We all are. You've got

576
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:39,920
Speaker 2: a lot going on.

577
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: You're trying to figure out if your pubic care is

578
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:46,080
Speaker 1: changing color. You're trying to figure out if your stuff

579
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 1: still works. You're hoping you don't get a hemorrhoid. You

580
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: just notice there's more hair in the toilet, I mean

581
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,960
Speaker 1: in the shower drain than usual, and you're not sure.

582
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 2: If that's you or your husband. But either way it

583
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 2: ain't good.

584
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: You got on the scale, which you weren't going to do,

585
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 1: and you're up three pounds from one weekend. You don't

586
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:06,240
Speaker 1: feel like working out, but you know you need to. Okay,

587
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,320
Speaker 1: So we got a lot ahead of us. We're going

588
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,480
Speaker 1: to talk heavily about politics between now and March third.

589
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: I always tell you now's the time. We don't talk

590
00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: politics every day because it isn't support for me. It

591
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: isn't a fun thing. It's important. It's a necessity like taxes.

592
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 1: All right, But when we do focus, we focus now.

593
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: That doesn't mean we're not going to part around in between.

594
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 2: Well, you ought to just talk about politics all.

595
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:31,120
Speaker 1: Day long, because because you're that person does that, I

596
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 1: would have an audience so small that nobody'd be listening.

597
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: There's a reason people listen, because it's interesting and entertaining

598
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 1: in the midst of being informal.

599
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:43,880
Speaker 2: If I may say so myself,
