1 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 1: What it's that time, time, time, time, Luck and load 2 00:00:11,119 --> 00:00:14,440 Speaker 1: of Michael Verie Show is on the air last night. 3 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,759 Speaker 2: On the President's orders, US Central Command, under the command 4 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 2: of General Eric Carilla, executed Operation Midnight Hammer. 5 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:23,079 Speaker 1: A short time ago. 6 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:27,479 Speaker 3: The US military carried out massive precision strikes on the 7 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 3: three key nuclear facilities in the Iranian regime, Bordeaux, Natance 8 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 3: and Esfahan. Our objective was the destruction of irans nuclear 9 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 3: intrichment capacity and a stop to the nuclear threat posed 10 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 3: by the world's number one state sponsor of terror. Tonight, 11 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 3: I can report to the world that the strikes were 12 00:00:52,840 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 3: a spectacular military success. 13 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,120 Speaker 4: The order we received from our commander in chief was focused, 14 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 4: it was powerful, and it was clear we devastated the 15 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:20,119 Speaker 4: Iranian nuclear program. But it's worth noting the operation did 16 00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 4: not target Iranian troops of the Iranian. 17 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 5: Jump. 18 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 4: Thank President Trump's bold and visionary leadership and his commitment 19 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 4: to peace through strength, Iran's nuclear ambitions have been obliterated. 20 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 4: Many presidents have dreamed of delivering the final blow to 21 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 4: Iran's nuclear program, and none could until President. 22 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 1: When this president. 23 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 4: Speaks, the world should listen, and the US military we 24 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 4: can back it up. Taran is certainly calculating the reality 25 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 4: that planes flew from the middle of America and Missouri 26 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 4: overnight completely undetected over three of their most highly sensitive sites, 27 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 4: and we were able to. 28 00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,640 Speaker 1: Destroy nuclear capabilities. 29 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,839 Speaker 4: And our boys in those bombers are on their way 30 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 4: home right now. We believe that'll have a clear psychological 31 00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 4: impact on how they view the. 32 00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:39,399 Speaker 1: Future, and we certainly. 33 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,000 Speaker 4: Hope they take the path of negotiated peace. 34 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 1: But I could not be more proud you just. 35 00:02:51,800 --> 00:03:12,519 Speaker 2: How this mission demonstrates the unmatched reach, coordination, and capability 36 00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 2: of the United States military. In just a matter of weeks. 37 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:21,359 Speaker 2: This went from strategic planning to global execution. This operation 38 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 2: underscores the unmatched capabilities and global reach of the United 39 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:31,519 Speaker 2: States military. 40 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: For order, we will give you an opportunity to comment 41 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: on that effort and the go forward plan, whether you 42 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: for it, against it, have some observation, or whatever that 43 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 1: may be. Reminder seven to one three nine one thousand. 44 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: But first, first, I want to address a couple of things. 45 00:03:54,280 --> 00:04:01,840 Speaker 1: Number One, with regard to marijuana as a generational question, 46 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:06,240 Speaker 1: over sixty and especially over eighty folks tend to be 47 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,760 Speaker 1: more against marijuana than younger folks. And there are a 48 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: lot of reasons for that. There was a powerful movie 49 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: called Reefer Madness basically had people murdering everyone if they 50 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:20,880 Speaker 1: smoked marijuana, and smoking marijuana was in those days really 51 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:24,400 Speaker 1: the only delivery mechanism. But then it turned out that 52 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: this drug had a lot of powerful properties, but an 53 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:32,280 Speaker 1: awful I mean just awful dirt weeds smell to it, 54 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: and nobody wanted that around. And that is still the 55 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: number one objection to marijuana. I'm in d C. And 56 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 1: I will tell you that walking the streets about every 57 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: thirty minutes, you will smell some idiot smoking. And the 58 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: way they put the cigarette in their palm, they turn 59 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,560 Speaker 1: it inward where they can and if they're short, they're 60 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: short blunts they can smoke it. You can't even see 61 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: they have it in their hand. I find the smell 62 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 1: to be repulsive. It smells like body odor. I hate it, 63 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:16,640 Speaker 1: absolutely hate it. Number one, that's not the number one 64 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: delivery mechanism. There are a number of different ways now 65 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 1: between gummies, which by the way, I do not recommend, 66 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: but for some people that works. The problem with gummies 67 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: is delayed and uncontrollable delivery mechanism when people get in 68 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 1: trouble with marijuana. They get in trouble with gummies, and 69 00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 1: I'll tell you why they take the gummy. Okay, I 70 00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:40,920 Speaker 1: want to see what all the fuss is about. I 71 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 1: really like to stop destroying my liver. I'd like to 72 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: try marijuana. So they take a gummy when they sit 73 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,280 Speaker 1: around and they wait, Well, Tommy, this ain't doing it 74 00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 1: for me. What do I do? Fifteen minutes, thirty minutes, Well, 75 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 1: clearly one gummy's not gonna work. Let me take two. 76 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 1: That's a bad idea. So they take two at about 77 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:12,359 Speaker 1: forty five minutes, and within five minutes, number one takes effect, 78 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: and number one, let's say five milligrams, might have gotten 79 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,360 Speaker 1: where they wanted to be. Okay, let me see if 80 00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: I would prefer this to drinking alcohol. Except the problem 81 00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,919 Speaker 1: is number two starts to kick in, and that was 82 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 1: too much. If they took ten milligrams, now they're at twenty. 83 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 1: They're about to have a bad trip. Oh look, god, 84 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 1: we can have people having a bad trip. You ever 85 00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:37,599 Speaker 1: stood outside a bar, because I've owned one, Do you 86 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 1: know how much people will drink? Do you know that 87 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,000 Speaker 1: the moment I see somebody taking a shot, my immediate 88 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:51,679 Speaker 1: reaction is that's regrettable, and that's how dwis and incarcerations occur. 89 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 1: There is no reason to slam a high alcohol content drink. 90 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 1: But you see it. You see it at bars. Bar 91 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: owners know it. They charge extra for it. Because how 92 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: do you say, we're having a great time, we're cutting loose. 93 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 1: Let me buy you a shot. Why don't you instead 94 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,679 Speaker 1: just inject me with heroin. Let's just make a bunch 95 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:18,200 Speaker 1: of stupid mistakes, maybe have unprotected sex with our next 96 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 1: door neighbor and we're both married to other people I 97 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: don't know, drive one hundred and fifty miles an hour 98 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 1: down the road. Why don't we do a bunch of 99 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,119 Speaker 1: really stupid things. What is the point of a shot 100 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: to get incredibly drunk, really fast, to the point that 101 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: you can no longer control it. So back to what 102 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: people don't like is the smell of dope. I got that. 103 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 1: There's a lot of things we don't like. You regulate that. 104 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: What they do in Colorado is they say you can't 105 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: smoke it in public. It's very simple, and they will 106 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: arrest you because that's what turns people off. Right, that's 107 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:52,520 Speaker 1: not that hard, have reasonable time and place, as the 108 00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: Supreme Court has said, you can make restrictions regarding reasonable 109 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 1: time and place. You can't do those things out in public. Okay, 110 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,080 Speaker 1: that's not that hard to do. So when I say 111 00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: to people, okay, you have all this problem with marijuana. 112 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 1: Alcohol is the most abused drug in America, wife beatings, dwis, 113 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: deadly crashes, Well, alcohol is already legal, so we can't no, no, no, 114 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: if marijuana should be a legal should alcohol? And if 115 00:08:16,840 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: alcohol can be legal? And somehow we survive, soa can marijuana. 116 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:21,760 Speaker 1: And I'll move on from that subject. I know I'll 117 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: beat it today VERI show. So I don't know which 118 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: country has the most state holidays, by which I mean 119 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 1: national holidays. But every time I'm in India, there's a holiday, 120 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,439 Speaker 1: and I'll ask my wife what is it. Well, it's 121 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: a Christian holiday, it's a Hindu holiday, it's a Muslim holiday, 122 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:49,559 Speaker 1: it's a military holiday, it's national independence. It's Mother's day, 123 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 1: father's day, brother's day, sister's day, cousin's day, aunt's day, 124 00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 1: Uncle's day, Children's day, grandparents' day. There's how many gods? 125 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: If you give you actually start counting, how many gods 126 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 1: there are? There are more gods than days. So there's 127 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 1: always a holiday, and it's, uh, it's kind of interesting 128 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:18,840 Speaker 1: because hold on, I'm gonna I'm gonna hold that thought, 129 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,280 Speaker 1: hold that thought, hold on just a moment. Mon I 130 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: just had a h I just had a message come 131 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: in with regard to I'm not allowed to say that yet. 132 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: All right, No, we're not in danger. No, No, it's 133 00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: a political development. But I'm not allowed because it will 134 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,760 Speaker 1: be obviously who I said that about. All right, I'll 135 00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,680 Speaker 1: get to that. Give me about thirty minutes to clear 136 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,320 Speaker 1: that I can say that. I'm on air. So there's 137 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:48,439 Speaker 1: a very interesting thing happening in the Senate race Cornyn 138 00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:57,640 Speaker 1: versus the challenger Ken Paxton. The initial polling had Paxton 139 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: up by twenty five percent points and more. It's unheard 140 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 1: of for an incumbent who has been in office for 141 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: this long to be in this much trouble this early. 142 00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: Cornin was elected US Senator or sworn in as US 143 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: Senator in December of two thousand and two. That's twenty 144 00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,960 Speaker 1: three years. Before that, he served three years as Attorney General. 145 00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:30,800 Speaker 1: Before that, he served six years as a Supreme Court 146 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,120 Speaker 1: justice statewide. Also, and before that he was a district 147 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: court judge for six years. I believe in San Antone. 148 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,319 Speaker 1: So this is a guy if we just take his 149 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 1: statewide office, he's been in state wide office for thirty 150 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: four years in a big state like Texas. The reason 151 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: it's hard to challenge an incumbent is because you can't 152 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 1: afford to run a statewide campaign. The Houston media market 153 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,679 Speaker 1: alone wipes out candidates. But we don't have just the 154 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: Houston media market. We have the Houston media market, the 155 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:08,079 Speaker 1: Dallas media market, the Austin San Antone media market, West Texas, 156 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: South Texas, and East Texas. California and New York are 157 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,800 Speaker 1: the only states that rival that in Florida ain't cheap. 158 00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 1: So Cornyan has it. Once you get elected a senator 159 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:22,840 Speaker 1: in the state of Texas, pretty well stay there as 160 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,439 Speaker 1: long as you want. I'm trying to remember the last 161 00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:34,480 Speaker 1: time a US Senator in Texas was defeated a sitting 162 00:11:34,600 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: US senator, and I can go back to the nineteen thirties, 163 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: and I can't recall one unless there's a glaring gap 164 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:46,439 Speaker 1: in my mind. But Cornyan just couldn't help himself. Old 165 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: John Wayne Sellout mccorny just couldn't help himself. So then 166 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,720 Speaker 1: along comes Ken Paxton and the way Rove set up 167 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,720 Speaker 1: to defeat They knew they couldn't beat Paxton in an election. Remember, 168 00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:59,719 Speaker 1: these people are always thinking several years ahead of where 169 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 1: the rest, sorry, because it's their whole job, it's their 170 00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:06,160 Speaker 1: whole life. Apple Computers doesn't think up the Apple computer 171 00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: or the newest iPhone the day before we see it. 172 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: By the time we know about it, they've been thinking 173 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: about it far ahead. Same with Tesla, same with with Microsoft. 174 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: So the way they were going to get Paxton, keep 175 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:25,320 Speaker 1: Paxton from running against cornn was they were going to 176 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:28,320 Speaker 1: impeach him and then he'd be wounded. The problem is 177 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 1: if you go for the king, you better kill him, 178 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 1: and they didn't. They made Paxton stronger, and they ruined 179 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:36,320 Speaker 1: some careers in the process. Over a dozen state reps 180 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 1: lost over the way that whole thing came down. So 181 00:12:39,640 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: Paxton is absolutely pummeling corn in the early polling, and 182 00:12:44,480 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 1: so Karl Rove set out to destroy Paxton with some 183 00:12:48,920 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 1: negative stories on him. He's a crook, he's a bad guy, 184 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: he's no good. He was impeached, but it hasn't stopped. 185 00:12:56,559 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 1: In fact, Paxton is growing the last round of has 186 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: Paxton beating Cornyan by more and once a sign of 187 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 1: weakness blood in the water that Cornyan might actually lose. 188 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,199 Speaker 1: There are a lot of people who give money to 189 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 1: candidates and a lot of people who just kind of 190 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:19,559 Speaker 1: go along, who go oh, looks, say Paxton's gonna win. 191 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: So that made it harder for corn to raise money. 192 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: You know, he's sitting on a pile, and Paxton's growing 193 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 1: more and more and more strong. So the rumblings over 194 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:34,360 Speaker 1: the last week were the big boys are telling Cornyan, 195 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: you got to get out. We've got to put somebody 196 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 1: else in there. Well, the candidate in the waiting is 197 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 1: Wesley Hunt. Now this is where this gets very, very interesting, 198 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: because Trump really likes Ken Paxton does not like John Cornyan, 199 00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 1: but Trump loves Wesley Hunt. That's also why if you've 200 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:05,319 Speaker 1: noticed Wesley Hunt has been on Bill Maher this past week, 201 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,680 Speaker 1: there's been a lot of publicity to him shutting Bill 202 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 1: Maher down. Wesley hunts a war hero. We supported Wesley 203 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,240 Speaker 1: Hunt big. He's a personal friend. That doesn't so is 204 00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:20,360 Speaker 1: Dan Patrick. He probably doesn't feel like I'm his friend today. 205 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 1: I do what's best for the country, not my friends. 206 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 1: Or associates or whatever else. It looks to be the 207 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:34,360 Speaker 1: case that the switcheroo is in for Corning to get 208 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:38,920 Speaker 1: out and Wesley Hunt to get in, setting up a 209 00:14:39,120 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: very very interesting race. Now, if you were handicapping, is 210 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: Wesley Hunt a stronger candidate than Cornying? You start on 211 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: this level, Wesley Hunt starts with very little name I D. 212 00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: Outside of Houston, not no name I D. Because he's 213 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 1: had some national moments. He's flown on the jet with 214 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: Trump on Bill Maher the other day, there will be 215 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: a whirlwind media tour and he will be introduced. The 216 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 1: pitch is going to be that Wesley Hunt is more 217 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: popular in November of next year, and so you have 218 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: to pick a candidate who can win in November as 219 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 1: opposed to a candidate who can win in March. In 220 00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:26,640 Speaker 1: other words, the theory is going to be Republicans need 221 00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: to vote for what would have otherwise been their second choice, 222 00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 1: so you could hold onto the seat in November without judgment. 223 00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: That is my assessment of what is going on right now. 224 00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: I've just like a movie, all right, I got a 225 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,240 Speaker 1: message I had to read, so I couldn't finish the point. 226 00:15:49,280 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: But in India there's a different holiday every day, so 227 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,880 Speaker 1: the government has closed as much as it's open, not more. 228 00:15:58,760 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 1: And it kind of feels that way with the American 229 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 1: left right now they have a new big issue every day. 230 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 1: Remember when it was global warming? Whatever happened to global warming? 231 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: Did we burn up already? What about net neutrality? I 232 00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:20,600 Speaker 1: mean they've then they moved to Hamas. They've got Greta 233 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: Thunberg going to Hamas, supposedly with relief supplies. You know, 234 00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,840 Speaker 1: it turned out now she's just a pig. Those were 235 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: just donuts she was eating on the way. She wasn't 236 00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:33,040 Speaker 1: going to share them with the Muslims. But in the meantime, 237 00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: we had Ukraine. Remember everybody was very, very concerned for 238 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 1: the future of Ukraine because we all loved Ukraine. We 239 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 1: hadn't thought about Ukraine before that, but now all of 240 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 1: a sudden we loved Ukraine. And then we moved from 241 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,800 Speaker 1: Ukraine to we really need to have boys in the 242 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:58,080 Speaker 1: girl's locker rooms. And that's when the issues got crazy. 243 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: That was the moment that the left jumped the shark. 244 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:06,920 Speaker 1: Boys in girls' locker rooms turns out to be a 245 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: real loser. We want democrats hammering that issue. I mean 246 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 1: that is, that's exactly where we want them. But they 247 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: moved from there to Hamas after Hesbelah attacked Israel on 248 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 1: October seventh in an awful, deadly and most importantly filmed 249 00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:35,000 Speaker 1: attack that included some Americans. So even the Jew haters 250 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:38,480 Speaker 1: had to go, I don't want Americans attacked abroad. You 251 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 1: people are monsters. Hamas not very popular except on the 252 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:49,399 Speaker 1: university campus. And the point of the university campus is 253 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: whatever my parents are against, that's what I'm for. That's 254 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: what the bone through the nose green haired crowd does. 255 00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,080 Speaker 1: The rest of the students are going, y'all are a 256 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,600 Speaker 1: bunch of idiots, and that's been the case for a 257 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:07,640 Speaker 1: very long time. So now we have moved from all 258 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 1: of this to now their care. So then it was 259 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:14,440 Speaker 1: the Mexican flag, because nothing says don't send the Mexicans 260 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:18,560 Speaker 1: back to Mexico like saying this is Mexico. They get 261 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:23,520 Speaker 1: to stay because it isn't America anymore. You don't exist. Interesting, 262 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:29,160 Speaker 1: now they've taken to waiving the Irani flag. I think 263 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 1: Iran probably had about one percent support, and it wasn't 264 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:38,880 Speaker 1: from Irani's living in this country. That's for sure, they 265 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:44,040 Speaker 1: fled that country. So all we can hope is that 266 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:50,520 Speaker 1: the Democrats keep taking up the least popular positions possible, 267 00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:56,199 Speaker 1: because that is what they're doing. Here is Vice President 268 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:59,679 Speaker 1: jd Vance clip number five, Ramon on Meet the Press 269 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 1: yesterday making the point we're not at war with the 270 00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:08,880 Speaker 1: people of Iran. We're at war with Iran's nuclear program. 271 00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,359 Speaker 1: We're not at war with Iran. We're at war with 272 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,439 Speaker 1: Iran's nuclear program. And let me just say Christen that 273 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 1: we're incredibly grateful and proud of the American Air Force 274 00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 1: pilots who did an incredible job last night. The operation 275 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:23,600 Speaker 1: was really extraordinary. 276 00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:27,439 Speaker 6: These guys flew from Missouri, they didn't land a single time. 277 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,719 Speaker 6: They dropped thirty thousand pound bombs on a target the 278 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:34,240 Speaker 6: size of a washing machine, and then got back home 279 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,400 Speaker 6: safely without ever landing in the Middle East or ever 280 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:40,320 Speaker 6: stopping other than to briefly refuel. 281 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:42,000 Speaker 1: And of course they did that in the air. 282 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 6: So it's really an incredible operation, a testament to the 283 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 6: power of American military. And I think what shows what 284 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,719 Speaker 6: can happen when you have that great American military in 285 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 6: the hands of capable presidential leadership. What we did is 286 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,480 Speaker 6: we destroyed the Iranian nuclear program. I think we set 287 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,520 Speaker 6: that program back substantially. We did it without endangering the 288 00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 6: lives of the American pilots. That's an incredible thing, and 289 00:20:04,359 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 6: I think we all should be proud, whatever our politics, 290 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,119 Speaker 6: we should be proud of what these guys accomplished, a very, 291 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,880 Speaker 6: very high impact mission under a lot of pressure. Can 292 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:18,360 Speaker 6: you rule out that getting involved in this conflict won't 293 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 6: eventually lead to US boots on the ground. Well, the 294 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,879 Speaker 6: President's been very clear, Kristin, we have no interest in 295 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 6: a protracted conflict. 296 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:26,760 Speaker 1: We have no interest in boots on the ground. 297 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,680 Speaker 6: That president has actually been one of the fiercest critics 298 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,720 Speaker 6: of twenty five years of failed foreign policy in the 299 00:20:32,760 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 6: Middle East, which is why he did what he did, 300 00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,639 Speaker 6: a very precise, a very surgical strike tailored to an 301 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 6: American national interest, and that national interest is Iran cannot 302 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:44,240 Speaker 6: have a nuclear weapon. It would be a disaster for 303 00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,879 Speaker 6: US and for our allies in the region. So I 304 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 6: don't fear that this is going to become a protracted 305 00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 6: conflict because I think that we have a president who 306 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:53,800 Speaker 6: knows what's an America's interest and is willing to do 307 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,159 Speaker 6: the things necessary to accomplish that interest. 308 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: Great offenses use misdirection so that defenses are headed the 309 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:09,080 Speaker 1: wrong direction. And I love a great reverse, but not 310 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,000 Speaker 1: have as much as I love a fake reverse. I 311 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,959 Speaker 1: love the swinging gait, I love the pump fake. I 312 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 1: love Dan Marino with a few seconds left in the game, 313 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,679 Speaker 1: walking up to the line like he's throwing something like 314 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,879 Speaker 1: he's flinging a bugger off his finger to indicate that 315 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 1: he's going to spike the ball. Snap the ball so 316 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:34,400 Speaker 1: I can spike it. So the defense stops and breathes 317 00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:36,680 Speaker 1: and relaxes because he's going to take the snap and 318 00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,480 Speaker 1: spike the ball to stop the clock. Whereupon he takes 319 00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 1: the snap, fakes the spike, and his wide receiver, probably 320 00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 1: Mark Duper, but I don't know if it was for sure, 321 00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,520 Speaker 1: is headed down the sideline and he hits him for 322 00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:55,240 Speaker 1: a touchdown. The fact that Trump said you've got two weeks, 323 00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 1: don't make me do something and then attack when he 324 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:05,840 Speaker 1: had already given them far more than that. I am 325 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:11,680 Speaker 1: not a warmonger. Let's be clear. I have not favored 326 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 1: or disfavored these attacks. I don't have the intel that 327 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 1: the president does. I am disposed against the neo con position, 328 00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 1: the Dan Crenshaw's and Lindsay Grahamnesty and John Bolton's that 329 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,960 Speaker 1: want us in every war and keep saying this ridiculous 330 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 1: statement that well, we have to fight them over there, 331 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,800 Speaker 1: or then we'll fight them here. That doesn't work that way. 332 00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:43,480 Speaker 1: Do you know how many Afghan terrorists we brought here? 333 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:47,120 Speaker 1: Do you know how many Iraqis we brought here? What happens? 334 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:49,359 Speaker 1: You know how many Ukrainians will end up here? What 335 00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: happens is we go get look at how many Vietnamese 336 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,680 Speaker 1: came here. Most of them turned out to be great Americans. 337 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: But what we end up doing is going and fighting 338 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 1: other people's wars, and we need there's so much help 339 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: from their people while we're there, that we then just 340 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: bring their people to this country. How about we take 341 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 1: care of America and we let other countries fend for 342 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 1: themselves and stop involving ourselves in other people's wars. That'd 343 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 1: be nice, wouldn't it. Well? Iran presented, and this is 344 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 1: the argument. President Trump makes a situation where not only 345 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 1: in Israel's best interest, but in the worlds. This is 346 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,080 Speaker 1: his position. I don't know that this is true. Where 347 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 1: they were at sixty percent, which is close enough to 348 00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 1: ninety percent that their three major nuclear facilities needed to 349 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 1: be destroyed. He made his case pretty well because seventy 350 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:49,240 Speaker 1: nine percent of Democrats and eighty three percent of Republicans 351 00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 1: agreed with the bombings. It's hard to get that many 352 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: people to agree to much of anything, so compay. My 353 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 1: mother would have turned eighty years old today, and little 354 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: did I know until today is she shared a birthday 355 00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:14,400 Speaker 1: with my favorite living Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. Here 356 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,679 Speaker 1: was Clarence Thomas, who, at seventy seven, was asked a 357 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,359 Speaker 1: couple of years ago when he would be retiring, and 358 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 1: he had this to say. 359 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,800 Speaker 7: One of the things I'd say in response to the 360 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,800 Speaker 7: media is when they talk about, especially early on, about 361 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,920 Speaker 7: the way I did my job, I said, I will 362 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:35,720 Speaker 7: absolutely leave the court when I do my job as 363 00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:36,919 Speaker 7: poorly as you do yours. 364 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:44,879 Speaker 1: And that was met as a compliment. Really he was 365 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:47,159 Speaker 1: neglect at this side of the room, I guess all 366 00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:51,159 Speaker 1: way over here. Yes, it really is good to be me, 367 00:24:51,400 --> 00:25:01,600 Speaker 1: It really is. He has the most charming laugh of 368 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,920 Speaker 1: anybody in public life. He really does. It comes from 369 00:25:04,920 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: a deep place. It's a true belly laugh. Peter Falk 370 00:25:10,920 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 1: that on this day, fourteen years ago, he would have 371 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: been ninety eight had he survived. He was, of course Colombo. 372 00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: And here is Peter Falk as Colombo, telling the suspect, 373 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 1: as he often did, how he had figured out the case. 374 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:28,880 Speaker 1: This was always my favorite part of the show. 375 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:31,600 Speaker 8: You know, when you bring a car into a garage 376 00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 8: a no town of mileage. And I looked at your 377 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 8: car the morning after the crime, and this phenometer showed 378 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 8: nine miles more than when you brought it in. 379 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:45,760 Speaker 9: Of course, you drove that route from Mike's garage to miss. 380 00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,360 Speaker 8: Well's house exactly nine laughs. 381 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,879 Speaker 9: I think you might have something there, lieutenant. Of course, 382 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 9: one of the garage mechanics could have taken my car 383 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 9: and driven it around. 384 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:56,800 Speaker 1: Just to test it. 385 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 10: They don't remember that shit, they don't remember that. 386 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 1: Oh. 387 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 9: I'm having a little difficulty imagining this hypothetical court case. 388 00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:14,880 Speaker 1: I mean, there's no. 389 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 9: Real proof, there's uncertain garage mechanics. No, I don't think 390 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,679 Speaker 9: your theory holds up too well, Lieutenant. You see, I 391 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:28,600 Speaker 9: didn't kill Jennifer Wells, and it looks almost like a 392 00:26:28,640 --> 00:26:31,240 Speaker 9: certainty to me that her untimely death will do Donna's 393 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 9: an official suicide. 394 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:34,840 Speaker 8: Well, sir, I want to thank you very much for 395 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,640 Speaker 8: your time anytime, Lieutenant right, yeah, I don't want. 396 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:41,880 Speaker 1: To forget my cigar. Good data. Oh listen, just one 397 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:42,320 Speaker 1: more thing. 398 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,439 Speaker 8: I know you don't agree, but at least I've convinced 399 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 8: my superiors that Jennifer Wells was murdered was not a suicide, 400 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 8: and they've officially assigned. 401 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 1: Me to the case. That's my specialty. 402 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 10: You know. 403 00:26:54,520 --> 00:27:03,359 Speaker 1: Homicide on Friday was a major historic date in American 404 00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:08,760 Speaker 1: cinematic look for that matter, world cinematic history, and without 405 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: saying more than that, we turn it over to the 406 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 1: Great Mike Rowe. 407 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:17,360 Speaker 5: When witnesses reflected upon the impact of what Tommy had 408 00:27:17,400 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 5: perpetrated on that fateful afternoon, they would say the same 409 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 5: things we always hear after situations like this, How is 410 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:29,679 Speaker 5: it possible? He seemed like such a nice man. Truth is, 411 00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 5: Tommy was a nice man. He won the Lifetime Pta 412 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 5: Award from Sepulvida Junior High School, where he taught band 413 00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:40,119 Speaker 5: for over twenty years. He was the teacher every parent 414 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 5: hopes their teenager will get. He was not the sort 415 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 5: of man anyone expected to encounter on the shoulder of 416 00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:52,119 Speaker 5: a Los Angeles Freeway, driving like a maniac, armed with 417 00:27:52,200 --> 00:27:57,920 Speaker 5: a deadly tuba. That's right, a tuba. Ultimately, everything on 418 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 5: Tommy's long and impressive resume would be eclipsed by the 419 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:05,000 Speaker 5: two notes he played on that fateful day in nineteen 420 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,399 Speaker 5: seventy five, the day he swerved off the four zero 421 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:12,399 Speaker 5: five at speeds entirely inconsistent with the posted maximum. The 422 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:15,600 Speaker 5: day he bolted across a parking lot while clutching a 423 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,760 Speaker 5: forty pound tuba and crashed through the doors of twentieth 424 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:23,359 Speaker 5: Century Fox, where a world class orchestra waited for the 425 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:27,679 Speaker 5: tardy tubist. Tommy called out to the composer, excuse me. 426 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 5: I'm sorry, but I think I think you gave me 427 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 5: the wrong part. The composer laughed, No, Tommy, those notes 428 00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 5: are all for you. The composer knew only one man 429 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:42,320 Speaker 5: with the talent to turn the bouncy sound of the 430 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 5: lumbering tuba into something truly terrifying, so he wrote a 431 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 5: completely non traditional solo for the best tuba player You've 432 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:55,080 Speaker 5: never heard of, and the rest is Hollywood history. In 433 00:28:55,120 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 5: the back of the hall, the not yet famous director 434 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 5: paced in nervous anticipation on the podium, the not yet 435 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 5: famous composer brought the orchestra to attention and smiled down 436 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:11,000 Speaker 5: at the tuba player with the sweat stained shirt. Today, Tommy, 437 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,200 Speaker 5: you're the bad guy. Now go ahead and scare the 438 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:19,160 Speaker 5: hell out of us. Tommy nodded and took one more 439 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:24,760 Speaker 5: very deep breath. Then, with just two notes, he brought 440 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:28,080 Speaker 5: a monster to life and gave a voice to our 441 00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 5: most primal fear. You know the composer John Williams. You 442 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,200 Speaker 5: know the director Steven Spielberg. You might even know the 443 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 5: mechanical shark. His name was Bruce. But now you know 444 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 5: the man who put the teeth into jawls. Tommy Johnson, 445 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 5: the mild mannered middle school teacher who ventured way out 446 00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 5: on thin branches to snag an Academy Award for what 447 00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 5: many believed to be the best movie soundtrack of all time, 448 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:01,280 Speaker 5: and in the process he air a America right out 449 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:09,960 Speaker 5: of the water with just two notes from his trusty tuba. 450 00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 1: He played on recording sessions, did Tommy Johnson with Elvis 451 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:17,440 Speaker 1: Presley and Frank Sinatra. He was weird. Al Yankovich is 452 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 1: preferred go to guy when he needed and I didn't 453 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 1: know this word until today. Player of a tuba is 454 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: known as a tubist. John Williams, who's considered a genius, 455 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:35,640 Speaker 1: who did the score for that, asked Tommy Johnson to 456 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:39,800 Speaker 1: perform the tuba for the recording of the soundtrack for Jaws, 457 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 1: giving the voice to Jaws. And Tommy Johnson would later 458 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:50,320 Speaker 1: remember he was late to the recording session and he 459 00:30:50,440 --> 00:30:53,720 Speaker 1: opened his music to find the tuba solo, and he 460 00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 1: said it wasn't until much later that he found out 461 00:30:57,040 --> 00:31:00,120 Speaker 1: that it was the theme for the Shark that is 462 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,360 Speaker 1: going to be the star musical piece. So he asked 463 00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:06,600 Speaker 1: John Williams, the composer, why didn't you write the solo 464 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:09,239 Speaker 1: for the French horn because it was in such a 465 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:13,240 Speaker 1: high register for the tuba. John Williams told him, well, 466 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 1: I wanted something that was in that register, but I 467 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:21,440 Speaker 1: wanted it to sound a little more threatening, and if 468 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 1: you think about it, a tuba is far more threatening 469 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,760 Speaker 1: than the French horn. But Tommy Johnson said it was 470 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,240 Speaker 1: not easy to hit that note because it was so 471 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:37,240 Speaker 1: high for the tuba. Fifty years ago on Friday, I 472 00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:41,000 Speaker 1: meant to get that on Friday, but I didn't. Tommy 473 00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:45,040 Speaker 1: Johnson died in two thousand and six, but whole fifty 474 00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 1: years on Friday since the release of Jaws. That's a 475 00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 1: great film. Let's open up the phone line, shall we. 476 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:59,840 Speaker 1: Your thoughts on the bombing of Iran. Not your question, 477 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:05,000 Speaker 1: your thoughts on the bombing of Iran, even if you 478 00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,720 Speaker 1: think they're unpopular. We want to hear seven one, three, nine, nine, 479 00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:10,600 Speaker 1: one thousand.
