1 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. So 2 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:13,960 Speaker 1: Michael Arry Show is on the air. 3 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:25,280 Speaker 2: No, no, I want you to put on every process 4 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:30,200 Speaker 2: like this and stay. Decide to rush so you can 5 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:31,720 Speaker 2: pull your comrade back. 6 00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: Will be very very strong in terms of law and order. 7 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,839 Speaker 3: It's about law order. We're gonna be watching it very closely. 8 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 4: Here we go, h Those demonstrators are making their way 9 00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 4: down the ramp and onto the one o one freeway. 10 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 4: This is a think, a concern that we had seen 11 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 4: a little earlier. The freeway had been shut down by 12 00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 4: law enforcement, and it is now being shut down by 13 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 4: the other side. Demonstrators are on the surface of the 14 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 4: southbound one oh one freeway and blocking traffic. 15 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 5: They're on the freeway. 16 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: Officer down to hit with a rug Alameda Temple dogs. 17 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 5: They're there to restore order. 18 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,759 Speaker 1: Anyone who looks at the scene on your TV, look 19 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: at that. It's out of control. 20 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,480 Speaker 4: What normal person, what member of the public feels comfortable 21 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 4: being in downtown LA right now? 22 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: Nobody? So I don't know what he's talking about. 23 00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 4: He needs to watch the TV and see what's going on. 24 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 3: It's out of control, and since he can't control the state, 25 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 3: he can't control. 26 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 5: The lawlessness, We'll do it for him. 27 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: And that's what the president's doing. He is deploying the 28 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: National Guard. 29 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 4: We will have order in the city of Los Angeles. 30 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 3: And I told them, nobody's gonna spit on our police offices. 31 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 3: Nobody's gonna spit on our military, which they do is 32 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 3: a common thing. They get up to them this far 33 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,640 Speaker 3: away and then they shot spitting in their face. That happens, 34 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 3: they get hit very hard. 35 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:43,799 Speaker 6: That violence that you were referring to. Just you can 36 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 6: see that there's a car burning in the background. And 37 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 6: while they've made a semicircle here on the street, you 38 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 6: can see that the WEIMO over there has been vandalized, 39 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,560 Speaker 6: and we understand that some cars over there may also 40 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,239 Speaker 6: be wamo's at the set on fire. 41 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 5: The government use is an embarrassment for the stake. You know, 42 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 5: he's the one that's feeding this at Mantra. He supports 43 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 5: sanctuary cities, he supports sanctuary laws. If he if he 44 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 5: cared about public safety and state of California, he would 45 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,720 Speaker 5: not have a sanctuary for criminals where criminals get released 46 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 5: to the street to this state every day because of 47 00:03:20,120 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 5: his problem. 48 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: Yep, I'm assuming you know this, but just so you 49 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: do in case you don't. WAIM is a self driving 50 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: taxi company that is owned by Alphabet, which is the 51 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 1: parent company of Google. They actually spun the company off 52 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: back in twenty sixteen as a separate company. There is 53 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:13,560 Speaker 1: a race to dominate the space of the self driving vehicle, 54 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 1: not just a taxi, but the self driving vehicle. Alphabet, 55 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:24,560 Speaker 1: which is Google, entered that space with Weimo. Uber has 56 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: a product, and Amazon has a product, and of course 57 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: Elon has a product. I believe that as of right now, 58 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: this will change soon. But I believe that the most innovative, 59 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: groundbreaking development in automotive history of the last twenty five 60 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: years is full self driving and I think within a 61 00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: few years it will go mainstream. And the way it'll 62 00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: go mainstream is that Elon will license it, and that's 63 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: the payout. That's one of the reasons. That's one of 64 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:18,880 Speaker 1: the underpinning factors in Tesla's stock. It was never believed 65 00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 1: that Tesla was going to sell more cars than General Motors. 66 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: It's not going to happen, or Ford or Dodge for 67 00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: that matter. Tesla's market capitalization is greater than the three 68 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 1: of those companies. And the next four combined. In the 69 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,919 Speaker 1: technology world, you bet on the comp you don't bet 70 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: on current revenues. I remember reading an article. I don't 71 00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: know what year it was, let's say it was about 72 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: It feels like it was about the year two thousand 73 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:55,200 Speaker 1: and a much younger Jeff Bezos. I think it was 74 00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,440 Speaker 1: a Wall Street journal, but it doesn't matter. Twenty five 75 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: years ago or so, and that company still had not 76 00:06:01,279 --> 00:06:06,280 Speaker 1: made a profit. It was losing less and less. And 77 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:10,240 Speaker 1: I remember Jeff Beso saying, they said, will you ever 78 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: be profitable? And he said, we will be profitable within 79 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:19,599 Speaker 1: five years. And on that news, the Amazon stock jumped again. 80 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:26,360 Speaker 1: And the reason was because a company like that is 81 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 1: not a traditional company like you or I might start 82 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: a Hamburger joint. We pretty much have to be profitable 83 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 1: pretty early in because we're going to burn through our 84 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 1: cash reserves. And nobody believes that well, once they get 85 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:45,479 Speaker 1: it figured out, he's going to take over the world 86 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:50,640 Speaker 1: with burgers. No, that's not how most businesses work. But 87 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 1: the idea was this company that started as a bookseller. 88 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 1: Once this company that could sell everything and could figure 89 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:06,720 Speaker 1: out a massive logistical nightmare of delivering anything to your doorstep, 90 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 1: and that too quickly at a lower cost than most places. 91 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,640 Speaker 1: Once he figured it all out, it was going to 92 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: take over the world, and it did. It did it 93 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:26,480 Speaker 1: disrupted retail traffic, It destroyed a lot of brick and 94 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:31,559 Speaker 1: mortar as a result, and it changed a lot of things. 95 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: I just got distracted on way mode because I'm fascinated 96 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,080 Speaker 1: by full self driving, Absolutely fascinated by it. But anyway, 97 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: where we are in the process now is that Gavin 98 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,920 Speaker 1: Newsom is going on the record demanding that Trump withdraw 99 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:52,200 Speaker 1: the National Guard. Once that is done, once that is submitted, 100 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: the next phase is mayhem. So now the guys they 101 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: did not want the violence against LA cops. They needed 102 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: to create enough fure to call for public involvement to 103 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 1: get Trump involved. Now Gavin Newsom is saying Trump is 104 00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 1: the reason it has elevated. Now what we want is 105 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: violence and killing and that can all be blamed on Trump. 106 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: That's the next phase. 107 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 5: Continues. 108 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: So here's the statement from Gavin Newsomb. I have formally 109 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:46,280 Speaker 1: requested the Trump administration rescind their unlawful deployment of troops 110 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: in Los Angeles County and return them to my command. 111 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:57,160 Speaker 1: We did not have a problem until Trump got involved. 112 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: This is a serious breach of state sovereignty. Oh we're 113 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 1: states writers? Now are we inflaming tensions while pulling resources 114 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: from where they're actually needed? Rescind the order, return control 115 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 1: to California. It is important to understand exactly what is 116 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:26,080 Speaker 1: happening here because it is not happening naturally. This is 117 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 1: all very carefully coordinated. Now, that doesn't make it any 118 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:41,000 Speaker 1: less precarious. The overlords who are running this op, there 119 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: are a lot of moving pieces here. There are some 120 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:51,360 Speaker 1: people in the crowds that are their useful idiots who 121 00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:59,960 Speaker 1: are there to create the violence, instability, fear, who are 122 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: who are wild cards, shall we say? There could be 123 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 1: one of their guys who walks in with an uzi 124 00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: and starts unloading on the cops. It's going to be 125 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,559 Speaker 1: harder to blame that on Trump. They will, but it's 126 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 1: going to be harder. There could be a guy set 127 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 1: off a bomb. There are a lot of things that 128 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 1: can happen that they're carefully carefully regulating and controlling top down. 129 00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:39,599 Speaker 1: But what they've now done, and you watch this play out, 130 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 1: you can both hate them and respect the hustle because 131 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:51,920 Speaker 1: their side unlike our side. Their side is very sophisticated 132 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:57,360 Speaker 1: at how things like this are handled. Our folks react 133 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:03,600 Speaker 1: to it as a naive neighbor in charge. Well, god, hey, 134 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: we got we got a protest going on here. We 135 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,840 Speaker 1: probably need to send in the cops or something. And 136 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 1: don't don't see it coming. They don't even realize what 137 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:19,200 Speaker 1: is happening right before their eyes. And you know the 138 00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:28,440 Speaker 1: worst part is the rioters, the the violent rioters, chose 139 00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:36,400 Speaker 1: to be there. Cops didn't sign up for this. I mean, realistically, 140 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 1: cops don't sign up for a moment like this. There's 141 00:11:42,400 --> 00:11:49,679 Speaker 1: no valor, there's no glory to this. You can either 142 00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:54,800 Speaker 1: suffer through it. It's over and you get to go 143 00:11:54,920 --> 00:12:01,560 Speaker 1: back to your job. Or you could very easily if 144 00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,720 Speaker 1: you don't keep your head about you, or if you 145 00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:08,480 Speaker 1: misjudge a threat, or if a threat is thrown at 146 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 1: you and you have no opportunity to get out of 147 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: the way of it, you could very easily end up 148 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 1: in prison for life. You could very easily end up 149 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: being lynched. You could very easily end up in a 150 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: situation where, you know, these guys are really not even 151 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 1: middle class, they're the upper end of working class and 152 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: their wives are all school teachers, nurses, government employees. So 153 00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:50,959 Speaker 1: when you have to pull the trigger your identity, you'll 154 00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: be docksed in just a moment. You don't get to 155 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: wear a face mask the way the protesters do. When 156 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:03,599 Speaker 1: that happens, your wife and kids then have to be relocated. 157 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 1: You go into hiding. You're not prepared for that, you 158 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: don't have the resources for that. It's horrifying. You gotta 159 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:18,400 Speaker 1: feel for these cops anybody who says that's what you 160 00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 1: signed up for. You didn't sign up for this. And 161 00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:25,600 Speaker 1: by the way, at your job, did you sign up 162 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:28,000 Speaker 1: for everything that happens there? Did you sign up for 163 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:32,680 Speaker 1: everything you are asked to do? Did Sharon Watkin sign 164 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 1: up for accounting fraud ullus? You had to. She went 165 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:41,520 Speaker 1: to enrunch, she signed up. No, you didn't. It comes 166 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 1: across your desk and you go, oh my god, what 167 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 1: in the world is happening here? You didn't sign up 168 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,960 Speaker 1: for that. I mean, if we're being realistic, you signed 169 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,959 Speaker 1: up to serve and protect and get a pension and 170 00:13:56,040 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 1: a paycheck like everybody else. I don't know why we 171 00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: have to act like cops. You know, had a calling 172 00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: from God, and it's their responsibility to put up and 173 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: tolerate all of this nonsense. You know, a cop could 174 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:20,280 Speaker 1: be killed today and the Left would not cry, and 175 00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 1: the media would not cry, and the Democrats would not cry. 176 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: It would be more collateral damage that would be thrown 177 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 1: at Donald Trump. This is what happened. This is all 178 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: Trump's fault. I mean, just watch what they're doing. You 179 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: have to think, man, these guys are good. And here's 180 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:43,000 Speaker 1: Trump out here by himself having to handle all this 181 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: by himself, and most naive Americans are watching this and thinking, 182 00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: it's just what are they mad about? What happened? I'm 183 00:14:51,920 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 1: a protest or something, you know. I mean, you know 184 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: Trump hadn't something about Trump. You know, Trump did something. 185 00:14:58,000 --> 00:14:59,600 Speaker 1: They're mad about it. You can't blame them, you know 186 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:04,400 Speaker 1: the about it. And then you pull you pull LAPD back. 187 00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 1: You know, the same mayor that watched Los Angeles burn, 188 00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,600 Speaker 1: the same castro supporting mayor, she pulls l a p 189 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 1: D back. There's footage of the rioters smashing in the 190 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: windows of the l a p D headquarters a matter 191 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: of hours after LAPD's official position is that they were 192 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: mostly peaceful. Well, okay, I guess, and you know the 193 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: poor rank and file, it's not their fault. So you 194 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,560 Speaker 1: pull l A p D back and the protesters get 195 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 1: more and more, more and more things burn. You allow 196 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,440 Speaker 1: them to do this, but you make sure it's all filmed. 197 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,320 Speaker 1: You make sure there's there's fear and anger in America 198 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 1: because Trump won't be able to help himself. Then the 199 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:55,280 Speaker 1: governor refuses to send in the National Guard. Then the 200 00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:57,800 Speaker 1: President says, all right, if the mayor won't do anything, 201 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:02,000 Speaker 1: the governor won't do anything, I'll And you immediately say, 202 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 1: oh my god, you've inflamed it all. This is all 203 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,680 Speaker 1: your fault. That's that's where we're going to go. This 204 00:16:06,760 --> 00:16:09,120 Speaker 1: is this is going to get very bad. I feel 205 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:11,160 Speaker 1: pretty certain of it. They have to stop Trump, and 206 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:17,400 Speaker 1: this is how they stopped. Escaped Michael Very Show early 207 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: Saturday to drive to Orange to get my parents home, 208 00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,680 Speaker 1: my childhood home, ready to put on the market. My 209 00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 1: dad is now certain he wants to live in Houston 210 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 1: at the at the Assistant Living Facility. I wanted to 211 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: keep it long enough that if he changed his mind 212 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: he would it would still be there for him. He 213 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 1: had lived there since I was eight years old, so 214 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 1: forty seven years at home. He built that home in 215 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 1: nineteen seventy eight with his own hands. Now, there were 216 00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,600 Speaker 1: a few things he had to bring people in, but 217 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: there was no architect, there was no mineral contractor. And 218 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: many of you have done the same thing. I'm not 219 00:17:03,160 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 1: saying he's the only person ever do this, but I 220 00:17:05,000 --> 00:17:08,200 Speaker 1: admire it. I don't think I could do that. I've 221 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,879 Speaker 1: never built a home from scratch, and frankly, I have 222 00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 1: no interest in it. I'm amazed when people do. It's 223 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,240 Speaker 1: a lot of work. I mean, it's a lot of work. 224 00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: We have a show sponsor, Mike Fagen, and he's the 225 00:17:28,600 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: number one builder at Republic Grand Ranch and he's been 226 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:37,600 Speaker 1: at this for a very very long time, and he talks. 227 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:43,680 Speaker 1: He gives a seminar once a month, and he still 228 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,439 Speaker 1: gives it himself. And even if you don't buy a 229 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 1: home through him, a seminar is on how to be 230 00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 1: an informed, engaged, effective homeowner in the custom home building 231 00:17:55,040 --> 00:17:58,040 Speaker 1: process so that you don't end up with a divorce 232 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: as many people have done. But anyway, so I'm going 233 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: through this house and I'm looking at it for the 234 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:10,840 Speaker 1: last time, which you know, it's that's that's a different 235 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:16,479 Speaker 1: set of eyes that you use. And it's a I 236 00:18:16,520 --> 00:18:20,920 Speaker 1: find the rendering of some guy probably out at DuPont, 237 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,880 Speaker 1: who drew up my dad's direction, and you can see 238 00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:26,920 Speaker 1: where he's erased things. You know, this is kind of 239 00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:28,720 Speaker 1: where this is going to look over here is where 240 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: this is going to look over here. And it's a 241 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: simple home, but it's a certainly nothing to be ashamed 242 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:39,480 Speaker 1: of it. It's a pretty little home, not very big, 243 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:44,440 Speaker 1: three little bedrooms, and so you move the things out 244 00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:48,480 Speaker 1: in the house, in your childhood household, your childhood house. 245 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:52,280 Speaker 1: The structure, just like when you go back to a 246 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:54,560 Speaker 1: hill that you ran up when you were a kid, 247 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,680 Speaker 1: and man, that hill was you know, Kilimanjaro, and now 248 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: it's a little knowle as you go wow, But when 249 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:05,679 Speaker 1: you were little, wooh boy, you thought that was that 250 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:12,640 Speaker 1: was it. But it's interesting to study in this manner 251 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 1: to the extent you can study something that you're emotionally 252 00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:21,399 Speaker 1: attached to, how what kind of person my parents are 253 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:27,080 Speaker 1: and were depending on mother or father. And it's incredible 254 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 1: because you see things that have been saved for forty 255 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 1: seven years. Some of the things are things that have 256 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: been saved for longer than that, and you go, Wow, 257 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,919 Speaker 1: that's you realize your importance in the role of your parent, 258 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: when you realize that everything of your life has been 259 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 1: packed away and squirreled away. And for what purpose. Well, 260 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,960 Speaker 1: what I suspect is so that it can be handed 261 00:19:57,000 --> 00:19:59,399 Speaker 1: over to you, you know, when you get older. I 262 00:19:59,440 --> 00:20:01,720 Speaker 1: mean of you on through this process. And I've had 263 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,399 Speaker 1: conversations with folks over the years about cleaning out your parents' 264 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:09,119 Speaker 1: house after they leave because they don't get the opportunity 265 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:13,600 Speaker 1: to do it. One of the things I noticed coming back, 266 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:19,400 Speaker 1: or that I remarked on, was that Chevron Phillip's plant 267 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: because we were coming back late at night. I was tired, man, 268 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:28,400 Speaker 1: I was tired. I don't engage in physical activity every day. 269 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,360 Speaker 1: I'm not here to tell you that that I do 270 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,520 Speaker 1: not like that. You know, I do my workout with Petro, 271 00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:40,679 Speaker 1: but you know, hauling boxes, you know, getting up on 272 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:44,640 Speaker 1: a ladder and taking things down, wiping things down. It's 273 00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 1: hard work and to do it all day long, it 274 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,960 Speaker 1: is exhausting. I admire people who do that. And you know, 275 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: you're using muscles that you don't use in a gym 276 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: or in your normal day to day life, and you know, 277 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:03,960 Speaker 1: everything aching, and I'm driving back and I forget how 278 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:10,239 Speaker 1: magical that Chevron Phillips plant is on the right, so 279 00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 1: on the north side of it tent as you're coming 280 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 1: through Mont Bellevue, and I made the comment, which I 281 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: wished I hadn't, because I have. I have said over 282 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:24,360 Speaker 1: the years, it has been ten years probably since I've 283 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:27,280 Speaker 1: remarked to anybody about it, that I find that plant 284 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 1: to be magical. You know, it's lit up all those 285 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 1: beautiful lights. It looks like a crystal magical garden or something. 286 00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 1: It's something you'd see in in the Lion, the Witch 287 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: and the Wardrobe or something. And anyway, so every time 288 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 1: I've ever said that over the years, someone will say, yeah, 289 00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:57,120 Speaker 1: but it stinks. Yeah, okay, it does stink, but it's glorious. 290 00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:02,400 Speaker 1: And you know, a farm stinks if you're not used 291 00:22:02,440 --> 00:22:06,840 Speaker 1: to the smell of manure. I actually love the smell 292 00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:11,200 Speaker 1: of fresh cut grass. Some people think that's an awful smell. 293 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:15,439 Speaker 1: I love that smell, so I suppose, but the number 294 00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:20,280 Speaker 1: of people responded, smell of money. The point wasn't the smell. 295 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,199 Speaker 1: The point was just how magical that damn place looks. 296 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,640 Speaker 1: And that has always been over the years. How many 297 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,120 Speaker 1: times I have driven to Orange and back from Houston, 298 00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 1: is that every time I pass by there, I am 299 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:39,119 Speaker 1: in awe of the simple beauty of this industrial complex. 300 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:44,359 Speaker 1: And no point to that story. Just in case. My 301 00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:48,400 Speaker 1: dad bought a small to seven point fifty John Dere 302 00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:55,199 Speaker 1: tractor in when I was about fifteen or sixteen, so whatever, 303 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,879 Speaker 1: that would have been seventy five, sorry, eighty five, and 304 00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: the darn thing it still looks like it drove off 305 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:06,679 Speaker 1: the showroom floor. Because of the pride he had and 306 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:11,320 Speaker 1: how he takes care of things. It's just incredible. The 307 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:16,919 Speaker 1: house so clean, things wiped down, things he hadn't been 308 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:21,399 Speaker 1: there for months, but things taken care of and preserved. 309 00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 1: I think it says a lot about a person how 310 00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,520 Speaker 1: well they take care of their things. Now, granted, that's 311 00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:32,240 Speaker 1: how I was raised. We took our shoes off at 312 00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 1: the door, and you didn't just fling your shoes off 313 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 1: just to the side of the door. You sat them 314 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:44,919 Speaker 1: in an organized, structured way. And I don't know, I 315 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 1: look at cultures, I look at people, you know, I 316 00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,120 Speaker 1: see people that don't take care of their stuff. I 317 00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:55,639 Speaker 1: see people and I see communities where a pool is 318 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 1: built and then it's trashed, or built, a housing complex 319 00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 1: built and it's trashed. I see an automobile with three 320 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:09,640 Speaker 1: hubcaps missing, and the automobile is trashed, and it's filthy. 321 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: And I can't help because it's the way I was raised. 322 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,879 Speaker 1: It's values. I can't help but think how much of 323 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 1: who I am and I could see it in that house, 324 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 1: how much of who I am is? Those were the 325 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 1: values I was raised with, and I think those are 326 00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:29,679 Speaker 1: better values. It's Tracy Burrs. 327 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,040 Speaker 2: Hey, y'all, if you drink, don't drive, do the watermelon 328 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:35,200 Speaker 2: crawl and listen to the tsar of talk. 329 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:43,320 Speaker 1: My buddy, Michael Berry. Wall Street Journal has an article 330 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 1: this morning which they call a Wall Street Journal News exclusive. 331 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:53,399 Speaker 1: A George Soros backed group is to plow millions of 332 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:59,880 Speaker 1: dollars into trying to turn Texas blue. Texas Majority pack 333 00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:05,000 Speaker 1: will launch a Blue Texas Initiative Monday to try to 334 00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:10,439 Speaker 1: reverse decades of Democratic losses in the nation's second largest state. 335 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:18,280 Speaker 1: Initiative will attempt to bolster democrats hope of making Texas 336 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:22,760 Speaker 1: competitive after failing to win any state wide races since 337 00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:28,159 Speaker 1: nineteen ninety four. Democrats are launching a multimillion dollar effort, 338 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: helped by megadoner George Soros, to turn Texas into a 339 00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:38,679 Speaker 1: political battleground after suffering through decades of electoral losses in 340 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:48,160 Speaker 1: the nation's second largest state. So, one of the dangers 341 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:57,320 Speaker 1: of one party rule is that you become arrogant and 342 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:05,520 Speaker 1: sloppy because you no longer have battles, competitive battles that 343 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:10,639 Speaker 1: you have to win. So when the Republican Party nomination 344 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 1: becomes to facto the election, when novembers aren't sufficiently competitive, 345 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:28,159 Speaker 1: what ends up happening is you lose sight of governing 346 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 1: in a manner that maintains a majority. You start doing 347 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 1: things in a sloppy manner, and you stop listening when 348 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: the voter, especially your base, complaints. You grow arrogant, You 349 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: start taking up causes that don't serve the public will 350 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 1: start taking up call is to serve very narrow special interests. 351 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:12,879 Speaker 1: That is the THCHC band. You know what's interesting, My 352 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 1: views on marijuana have evolved over the years. When I 353 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 1: was growing up, my mother would refer to the dope, 354 00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:28,600 Speaker 1: and we were taught in school and at home and 355 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:33,679 Speaker 1: at church. You don't mess with the dope. Dope is bad. 356 00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 1: Dope heads. We'd refer to people as a dope head. 357 00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,359 Speaker 1: He got long hair, he got a tattoo, He's a 358 00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:45,400 Speaker 1: dope head. And dope was this horrible, terrible thing that 359 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,240 Speaker 1: once it got hold of you, you couldn't get loose, 360 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,399 Speaker 1: and you'd probably never bathe. It wouldn't allow you to bathe. 361 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: You'd be dirty. You'd be listening to Ozzy Osbourne and 362 00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 1: your hair would be long, and you'd be green, and 363 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:05,919 Speaker 1: you'd wear old concert heavy metal concert t shirts and 364 00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 1: you'd be nasty and filthy, and nobody ever would be 365 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:11,879 Speaker 1: around you because you were on the dope. You were 366 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 1: eat up with the dope. My mother would refer to 367 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 1: people being eat up with two things, not the dumb ass, 368 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 1: if that's what you're thinking. That was my dad, he 369 00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 1: would say that, but not my mother. You would be 370 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,760 Speaker 1: eat up with cancer or eat up with the dope. 371 00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 1: And if you were eat up with the dope, it 372 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:36,000 Speaker 1: had control of you. It was highly addictive and highly controlling, 373 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 1: and once once it had hold of you, you smelled 374 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:44,120 Speaker 1: of it all the time, and it controlled every aspect 375 00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 1: of your being, and nobody wanted to be around you 376 00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,600 Speaker 1: or hire you. Or marry you, or be your friend, 377 00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,240 Speaker 1: or frankly in the same room, because you were filthy 378 00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:59,280 Speaker 1: and dirty, like a pigpen in the Peanuts cartoons. And 379 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 1: then as I got I pretty much kept that view 380 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 1: for most of my early adult years. And then I 381 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: got to college and there was an army graduate there 382 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 1: was I had a classmate who was an army guy, 383 00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 1: and he had suffered some injuries in the army. He 384 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 1: served in Desert Storm in ninety one ninety two, had 385 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:34,480 Speaker 1: a real bad back, and we studied together, and he 386 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 1: was he was married. I was, I guess, getting married 387 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:43,600 Speaker 1: that year, and his wife didn't like him to smoke 388 00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:45,920 Speaker 1: a joint, and so he'd have to wait till she 389 00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:49,480 Speaker 1: was gone, and he'd smoke a joint. And I would say, noon, 390 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,320 Speaker 1: not in my presence, brouh you get you get arrested 391 00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 1: for that. I might go, I don't want to be 392 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,840 Speaker 1: a part of that. And I would ask him, why 393 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 1: do you do that? It seemed too smart to do that. 394 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:03,400 Speaker 1: And he had back pain, and he was scared to 395 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:09,320 Speaker 1: take a vicodin or whatever the chronic addictive prescription drug 396 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:13,120 Speaker 1: that these Republicans would have you take. You're scared of 397 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: that and this gave him relief from a horrible back 398 00:30:16,040 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 1: pain and he walked slumped over. Relatively young guy served 399 00:30:19,840 --> 00:30:23,479 Speaker 1: I think seven years in the army. You know, fast forward, 400 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:27,720 Speaker 1: fast forward him. So I would run into people who 401 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:33,360 Speaker 1: were marijuana smokers, and they were not what I thought 402 00:30:33,920 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 1: those people were. They were not losers, they were not layabouts, 403 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:46,120 Speaker 1: they were highly successful people. They were CEOs. And one 404 00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:50,200 Speaker 1: day I'm having a conversation with my brother who said, 405 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:52,960 Speaker 1: I said, you know, I got approached by this group 406 00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:57,080 Speaker 1: called LEAP law Enforcement Against Prohibition and their former law 407 00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,320 Speaker 1: enforcement officers because you can't do it when you're active, 408 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 1: who are in favor of legalizing marijuana. And they claim 409 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,720 Speaker 1: that based on their experience as law enforcement, they think 410 00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,880 Speaker 1: it's safer than alcohol. And my brother said, as I've 411 00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,480 Speaker 1: quoted many times, that if I was king, I'd rather 412 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 1: people do marijuana than alcohol, because I show up at 413 00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 1: a lot of calls where a guy's beating the snot 414 00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,840 Speaker 1: out of his woman, a guy's in a bar fight, 415 00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:25,040 Speaker 1: a guy's in a car and he's killed somebody else, 416 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 1: all because of alcohol. He said. Most marijuana folks, whether 417 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 1: it's gummies, smoking it, vaping it, whatever, all they want 418 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,040 Speaker 1: to do is sit on the couch and eat cheetos 419 00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 1: and watch TV. He said much rather that at least 420 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 1: it don't harm anybody else. Well, the big complaint I 421 00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,480 Speaker 1: hear from little old ladies who grew up on reefer 422 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 1: madness videos and marijuan is that we cannot legalize or 423 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:54,880 Speaker 1: decriminalize marijuana because nobody will go to work. It'll make 424 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:58,280 Speaker 1: everybody real lazy. Does alcohol make people want to go 425 00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:02,440 Speaker 1: to work? Really? Does it? I mean is that it 426 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:06,920 Speaker 1: We got to make laws to prevent people from being lazy. 427 00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 1: If we can just keep them from having video games, 428 00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,480 Speaker 1: people don't go to people call in sick on that. 429 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:19,840 Speaker 1: What about prescription drugs? Anyway, you got George Soros with 430 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:24,160 Speaker 1: an eye toward Texas. So the last thing we could 431 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:30,000 Speaker 1: do we should do is fumble. The last thing Ramon 432 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,040 Speaker 1: should do is bring the music in too hot. So 433 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:38,560 Speaker 1: you got Sorows put big money into winning Texas. And 434 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:43,840 Speaker 1: what are our guys doing. Are they attacking property taxes 435 00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:48,000 Speaker 1: because that's a bipartisan issue. Even Democrats don't like to 436 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:52,560 Speaker 1: pay high property taxes. No, they're not. Are they attacking 437 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 1: the issues that matter property taxes? No? I have never 438 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 1: in my life had an issue that I criticized a 439 00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:05,520 Speaker 1: statewide elected official, and I'm criticizing Dan Patrick ONNAS that 440 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:09,080 Speaker 1: ninety five percent or more of you have said I'm 441 00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:11,440 Speaker 1: with you. I don't care. I will criticize if I 442 00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 1: think it needs to be criticized. But there are many 443 00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:17,120 Speaker 1: times that people will go, dude, you're off base just 444 00:33:17,160 --> 00:33:19,880 Speaker 1: because they like the governor of the lieutenant governor. I 445 00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:23,040 Speaker 1: have had over ninety five percent response going this was 446 00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:27,640 Speaker 1: a bonehead move, this is an unforced error, huge mistake, 447 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 1: and then you've got sorrows ready to attack.
