1
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.

2
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 2: So Michael Verie Show is on the air.

3
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:32,279
Speaker 3: So it's to be clear that conversation about menopause and

4
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:38,159
Speaker 3: women's hormonal issues as they age will air next Friday.

5
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 3: Sometimes visits with doctors I will pre record in case

6
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 3: there is a medical emergency so we don't miss the

7
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 3: conversation that I've slotted for that time, especially if I've

8
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 3: promoted it and I know people are going to be

9
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 3: tuning in to listen to that. So that will be

10
00:00:57,160 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 3: next Friday morning, and next Friday it'll probably be an

11
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 3: hour all in. We will record that middle of next week.

12
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 3: So I would suggest, if you have a question you

13
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 3: would like ask of her a menopause expert women's hormone expert,

14
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 3: that you email me through the website Michael Berryshow dot com.

15
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 3: Don't worry, I will not say this is Ruth Silver's question.

16
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 3: I understand some of these things can be embarrassing. I

17
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 3: also believe that a lot of people don't have the

18
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 3: easy access by phone or text that I do to

19
00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 3: top medical professionals, and to visit a doctor means driving, well,

20
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 3: setting it up, driving, waiting and then limited amount of time.

21
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 3: So we've got a platform. I choose how to use it,

22
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 3: and one of the things I choose to do is

23
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 3: to share what I consider to be public information about

24
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 3: very personal issues. I understand that makes some people feel

25
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 3: very uncomfortable. It's often because they have discomfort with their

26
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:12,239
Speaker 3: own body or discussing adult topics. But that's on you,

27
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 3: so feel free to tune out. That will be next

28
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 3: Friday morning, and any questions that you submit, I would

29
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 3: do my best to ask of doctor Andrew Davis. So

30
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 3: it has come to my attention, Well, let me start

31
00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 3: with this. Ramon was on a roll this weekend. I

32
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 3: mean he was teaching a master class on libertarian values

33
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 3: and it was all couched in terms of when he

34
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 3: could order a drink. And I guess he was at

35
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 3: the Great Wolf Lodge or Disney World or wherever he goes,

36
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 3: and he couldn't order a drink till ten o'clock. And

37
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 3: by god, Davy Crockett didn't die for him to have

38
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 3: to wait till ten o'clock. And it was nine to

39
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 3: twenty at the time. So you get to a lot

40
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 3: of ladies going well, if you if you're mad, you

41
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,760
Speaker 3: can't get a drink till ten, and that's on you.

42
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 3: And he's going, lady, this is about Jim Bowie and

43
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 3: Alamo and the whole you know, the whole thing. So

44
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 3: somebody made the mistake of saying, well, I guess you

45
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 3: took seventh grade history, and that's about where you tapped out.

46
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 3: Whereupon Ramone's deep pride in the great state of Texas

47
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 3: was inflamed. Musket shots were.

48
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 2: Fired, lines were drawn.

49
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 3: William Barrett Travis a commentary was invoked. It turned into

50
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 3: a moment. It has come to our attention. You know

51
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 3: when in seventh grade when you had Texas history for

52
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,360
Speaker 3: many Texans, most Texans, that's the most Texas they'll ever know.

53
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 3: And then at forty they go to the Alamo and.

54
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:36,119
Speaker 4: They're like, okay, now, let's see Booye had to big knife, right,

55
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 4: David Crockett had to coonskin cap, and fest Parker sang

56
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 4: his song, and then let's see it was Sam Houston

57
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 4: here and no, no, no, he was, and then what happened

58
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 4: at Goliad and then what happened over here.

59
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 3: That is an important part teaching your history. Great cultures

60
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 3: teach their history to perpetuate them. It's very important you

61
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 3: do that it increases state pride. There's no greater state

62
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 3: pride than this state, Texas pride. It has come to

63
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 3: my attention that the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills Teks,

64
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 3: the state standards that spell out what every student has

65
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 3: to learn in every subject, that all of that is up.

66
00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 2: We're on a.

67
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 3: Timeline for that to be reviewed. So oddly enough, when

68
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 3: you wake up and go, hey, my kid came home

69
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 3: in seventh grade and they're not teaching history, or the

70
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,279
Speaker 3: history they're teaching is that Texas was stolen from the Mexicans,

71
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 3: or the history we're teaching is that Texas is an

72
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 3: awful place. How did this happen? It happened because of

73
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 3: a lot of boring meetings that you didn't want to

74
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,040
Speaker 3: go to. It happened because a lot of people were

75
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 3: willing to sit on weekends at conferences, give speeches, do this,

76
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 3: serve on committees and do this, and it's a lot

77
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:50,400
Speaker 3: of work. And then we wake up and there's a

78
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 3: real problem. So I reached out to a friend of

79
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 3: mine named Judge Knwise, who, in addition to being a

80
00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:01,599
Speaker 3: great golfer like he played professionally a great If you

81
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 3: need a ringer to bring to Houston Gun Club for

82
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 3: your competition, and a world class billiard pool player. In

83
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 3: addition to those three things, happens to have a sideline

84
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 3: as a judge. And he is a Texas history nut.

85
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 3: So I said, look, I know you probably don't want

86
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 3: to do this because of your judicial role, but could

87
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 3: you put me in touch with the right person. He say,

88
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 3: I'm going to give you somebody better than me. His

89
00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,360
Speaker 3: name is Don Fraser. He's a PhD and something bad

90
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 3: assery apparently. He's the chairman of the Texas eighteen thirty

91
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 3: six Project Advisory Committee. Again, another one of those seemingly

92
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 3: boring things that are very important. And he's the director

93
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:46,280
Speaker 3: of the Texas Center at Shriner University in Kerrville. And

94
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 3: I looked him up and said, doctor Fraser leads initiatives

95
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 3: focused on Texas history, culture and community outreach. He's an

96
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 3: award winning author and historian with extensive experience in the field.

97
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 2: It is our honor.

98
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,840
Speaker 3: I'm going to have some nice music. Oh we didn't

99
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 3: have music ready to hold on. It is our honor

100
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 3: to welcome for the first but not last time, the

101
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 3: You just are a chairman of the Texas eighteen thirty

102
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:16,160
Speaker 3: six Project Advisory Committee and the director of the Texas

103
00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 3: Center at Shriner University, the honorable doctor Don Fraser.

104
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 5: That's quite the build up.

105
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't disappoint.

106
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 3: Oh he he did the You're a dawn as in

107
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 3: you're a dome, you know, Marlon Brando.

108
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 2: Mario Poots, you got Yeah, that's touch Okay.

109
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 3: So let's set the stage. We're talking in an environment

110
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 3: where our discussions are what Trump is doing, what Biden did,

111
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 3: RFK Junior Toolsey Gabbard Congress coming back from But things

112
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 3: like this matter, and they matter for the short term

113
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 3: and the long term, and they're generally conducted under cover

114
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 3: of darkness. And thank goodness, we have someone who cares

115
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 3: deeply and passionately about Texas history the way all of

116
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 3: us do, but is willing to put in the time

117
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 3: and effort to make sure our kids' course books curriculum

118
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 3: are doing what they should do. So I got about

119
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 3: a minute in this segment, and then we'll dive deep

120
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 3: into this. Let's start with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills.

121
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 3: Can you explain what that is in about a minute?

122
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 3: You bet so.

123
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 6: I'd say that most of this debate's not handled in

124
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 6: under cover of darkness, but under the cover of apathy.

125
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 6: The TEKS is essentially the guidebook for what we want

126
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:45,800
Speaker 6: our kids to know across Texas schools, all two hundred

127
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 6: and fifty four counties, public schools, public charters. I mean,

128
00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,720
Speaker 6: there's it's got an incredible reach.

129
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 2: So how does it come about? How is it developed?

130
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 6: The State Board of Education is elected by the voters.

131
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 6: They come up with a framework, and they come up

132
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 6: with a policy. This is kind of the you know

133
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 6: what we think people ought to know. Then it's tossed

134
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 6: over to Tha Texas.

135
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 2: I've got my clock wrong. Hold on, doctor Don Fraser.

136
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 2: More coming up the.

137
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 3: Champion Marbel shooting, the fastest runner big league ballplayers. There, tuckist,

138
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 3: the Michael Berry American is level winner.

139
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 2: Doctor Don Fraser.

140
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,280
Speaker 3: He's the chairman of the Texas eighteen thirty six Project

141
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 3: Advisory Committee and the Texas Center Director of the Texas

142
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 3: Center at Shriner University. So one of the things I

143
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 3: read was that Texas is one of the largest textbook

144
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 3: markets in the country. So whatever is approved here influences

145
00:09:03,280 --> 00:09:07,559
Speaker 3: textbooks and classrooms across the country because as the materials

146
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 3: are printed, you want to print something that's compliant with

147
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 3: the Texas standards because otherwise, you know, one of your

148
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 3: biggest markets is lost out on. Can you explain how

149
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 3: this whole process works for how kids? I don't know,

150
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 3: you know, my kids don't need to buy nearly as

151
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 3: many books, or the university at ut where my son

152
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 3: is a sophomore, now they buy almost no books. Everything's online.

153
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 3: And my son's a senior in high school and he

154
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 3: has a third the number of books you used to

155
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:39,360
Speaker 3: because everything's online. But I'm sure the curriculum is still similar.

156
00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 3: How does that come to be?

157
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 5: All right?

158
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 6: So let's start at the whalehead and go downstring. So

159
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 6: State Board of Education comes up with policy, and then

160
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 6: the Texas Education Agency implements that policy. That implementation is

161
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,480
Speaker 6: where we get the Texas of Central Knowledge and Skills

162
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 6: from and then that go downstream to you know, school boards,

163
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 6: superintendents into the classroom. So that's kind of the flow,

164
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 6: and the TA is tasked with coming up with appropriate

165
00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 6: educational material to support the policy that has been adopted

166
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 6: by the State Board of Education and agreed upon by

167
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 6: the legislature of the State of Texas. So it's about

168
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 6: halfway down the processes where we get the educational material. Now,

169
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:31,479
Speaker 6: one of the things that big publishers go ahead.

170
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 2: No, no, I'm sorry, you go ahead.

171
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 6: Well, So one of the things that big publishers like

172
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 6: to do is they like to have one size fits

173
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:44,640
Speaker 6: all curriculum. So you can get a ghost writer out

174
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:47,760
Speaker 6: of a junior college in Connecticut to write your US

175
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:52,319
Speaker 6: History survey book, and it'll sell in Idaho, it will

176
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 6: sell in Iowa. But when it comes to Texas, Texas

177
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,840
Speaker 6: has always been kind of a one off. So any

178
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 6: way that you can chant that curriculum to where Texas

179
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 6: is treated as a one off and your focus just

180
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:11,359
Speaker 6: on that you know, broad American story, how it is told,

181
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:17,080
Speaker 6: is a lot more efficient for the big educational publishers.

182
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 6: So what we've got now, I mean, if you went

183
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 6: to took a look at textbooks, now you've got a

184
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,080
Speaker 6: lot of Texas sidebars, and then you have a seventh

185
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 6: grade Texas history textbook. What's happened, though, in reality, is

186
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:36,600
Speaker 6: that as Texas is treated as one off, that particular

187
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,719
Speaker 6: piece of intellectual geography in the classroom, those hours that

188
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 6: you're spending teaching Texas end up being cannibalized because people

189
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 6: see it as not particularly important. It's not you know,

190
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 6: it's not the big American story. It's some sort of

191
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 6: you know, strange curiosity that if you need to teach

192
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 6: your kids something about keyboarding, well you can do keyboarding

193
00:11:58,640 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 6: and computer skills.

194
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 5: It's the second semester of Texas history and nobody will notice.

195
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 6: So we've had a real decline in the actual amount

196
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:13,199
Speaker 6: of instruction over the Texas story in the last decade

197
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:14,040
Speaker 6: decade and a half.

198
00:12:16,440 --> 00:12:21,120
Speaker 3: So I'm thinking of, you know, the teaching of youth

199
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 3: is very important, and it strikes me that while Texans

200
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 3: are more proud of our history than any state in

201
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 3: the Union, there are still a lot of people who've

202
00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:36,239
Speaker 3: been cussed into or cowed into this posture of being ashamed.

203
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,679
Speaker 3: You know, we've watched our monuments be toppled and our

204
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 3: heroes be leveled and spoken ill of. But I think

205
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:52,840
Speaker 3: of subjects that you have to teach slavery, civil rights, immigration, religion,

206
00:12:53,480 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 3: political movements, US Mexico relations, migration of people from Mexico

207
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:06,160
Speaker 3: into Texas, and the cultures and the Tejano and all

208
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 3: of these things that developed and how that is taught.

209
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 3: You know, AI can't replace that. It will in a

210
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 3: negative way. But I think that those are very nuanced

211
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 3: conversations that need to be considered carefully so that you

212
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 3: don't get some I'll say this so you don't have

213
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 3: to some crazy liberal woman coming in with a bone

214
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 3: through her nose and purple hair declaring that Texas should

215
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 3: apologize for existing on indigenous lands.

216
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 2: I guess that was a question I ferunctuated.

217
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's kind of a question in there somewhere. And

218
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,400
Speaker 6: really the root of all of this goes back to

219
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 6: our institution to higher learning, because that's where teachers are made,

220
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 6: and so school of education, some of our flagship institutions.

221
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:55,719
Speaker 5: If that's the message that.

222
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 6: They're pumping into their education classrooms, then those teachers then

223
00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:01,880
Speaker 6: export that into their.

224
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:05,559
Speaker 5: Public school classrooms. And uh So.

225
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 6: It's a it's an interesting intellectual genealogy, but it all

226
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 6: starts and higher ed in my opinion.

227
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:18,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, so, is there an opportunity not to put you

228
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 3: on the spot it may already be. Is there an

229
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 3: opportunity for somebody out there says I'd like to get

230
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:24,600
Speaker 3: involved in this process?

231
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:25,080
Speaker 6: Sure?

232
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 2: And if so, what what would what is that?

233
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:27,360
Speaker 5: Corium?

234
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 6: Well, I mean you can talk to your elected officials, uh,

235
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 6: state Board of Education is probably not on your speed,

236
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:39,560
Speaker 6: doll uh, but it might need to be. What's coming

237
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 6: up next week is they're thinking about revising the t

238
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 6: k s in what that's called is the framework. You

239
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 6: know what framework are we going to use that? We

240
00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:54,160
Speaker 6: will then decide what fits into that framework in terms

241
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:56,560
Speaker 6: of the Texas Essential Knowledge and.

242
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 5: Skills and so uh.

243
00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 6: That has next week and you probably ought to send

244
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 6: an email or make a phone call to your SBOE representative.

245
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:14,239
Speaker 6: I know in Houston that's Will Hickman. There's Julie Pickering's

246
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 6: over in Perland, I think, so that's kind of within

247
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 6: the greater Houston area.

248
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 5: But that's step one.

249
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 6: Step two. There's going to be working groups that are

250
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 6: formed after the framework is adopted, and those working groups

251
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 6: are composed of volunteers, and you can lobby to be

252
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 6: part of the working group and actually review the various

253
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:45,640
Speaker 6: tks are being proposed by content experts. Now content experts,

254
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 6: That's what I did back in twenty twenty two. I

255
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:52,520
Speaker 6: was a content expert, and what we do is advise

256
00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 6: on here's what we think the s ought to look like.

257
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 6: Then it goes to the working groups, and the working

258
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 6: groups come up with the burbs and specifics. So, uh,

259
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 6: that's the process and you can jump in at anytime.

260
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,280
Speaker 3: Doctor Don Fraser whole with me if you can for

261
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 3: one more segment.

262
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 5: And right there.

263
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 3: I sport flop Michael Berry Shower.

264
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:21,760
Speaker 2: Don Frasier.

265
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,200
Speaker 3: Doctor Don Fraser serves as the chairman of the Texas

266
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 3: eighteen thirty six Project Advisory Committee. He's also the director

267
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:34,520
Speaker 3: of the Texas Center at Shriner University. So I have

268
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 3: a friend named Larry Bogus. His son Noah, went to Shriner.

269
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:39,160
Speaker 5: Uh.

270
00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 3: He's a filmmaker and he made a film for the

271
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:44,920
Speaker 3: one hundred or one hundred and fifty, I guess be

272
00:16:44,960 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 3: the one hundredth anniversary of Shriner and asked me to

273
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 3: be a part of it, using the radio show and

274
00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 3: a radio piece, and it was funn He's a great kid,

275
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 3: and I love to see young people pursuing things like that.

276
00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 3: And then I have a friend named Robert Reese who's

277
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:03,440
Speaker 3: a superstar. The term is seller, but he's a relationship

278
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 3: manager for our show.

279
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 2: I never knew.

280
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:12,120
Speaker 3: Anybody who went to Shriner except for a fellow named

281
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,919
Speaker 3: Rick Bays who was my wife's law partner. And I

282
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 3: used to play tennis with years ago, minsh of a man,

283
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 3: super great guy. He was the only person I ever

284
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,199
Speaker 3: knew who went to Shriner, and now I probably know

285
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 3: ten people who've been there in the last few years.

286
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 3: Is Shriner on the rise or am I just moving

287
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 3: in different circles?

288
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 6: Now we're moving We're moving up. We had a long

289
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:38,159
Speaker 6: history of punching above our weight, and now we're actually

290
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:42,399
Speaker 6: reaching out to statewide audience, especially through outreach programs like

291
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:46,560
Speaker 6: the Texas Center. I mean, we're determined to help Texas

292
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 6: tell it story, and that means we get involved in

293
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,400
Speaker 6: a bunch of these conversations like the ones we're discussing now.

294
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 3: You know, the concept of hiding your light under a

295
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:03,679
Speaker 3: bushel is antithetic to the academic environment, particularly as it

296
00:18:03,720 --> 00:18:06,719
Speaker 3: relates to the professor. I think Texas A and M.

297
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 3: I'm not an alumnus, but I think they've done probably

298
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,960
Speaker 3: the best job at Through the Extension service, through the

299
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:18,720
Speaker 3: agricultural through transportation, through a number of different things, they

300
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 3: have reached out into every sinew of the state and beyond,

301
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 3: using their faculty and their resources and their institutes. University

302
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 3: of Texas has a long standing support of the arts

303
00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 3: especially fine arts as well as literature. You know, there

304
00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 3: should be so much more to a university than the football, basketball,

305
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 3: and baseball team. And it's nice to see these professors

306
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 3: who devote themselves as you do to a subject, sharing

307
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:51,480
Speaker 3: that beyond kids in class who are probably less likely

308
00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 3: to be interested in it than us. Old Fogey's sitting

309
00:18:54,280 --> 00:18:57,879
Speaker 3: at home reading Loansome Dove for the third time. So

310
00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 3: it's nice to see you're sharing the wealth and evangelizing.

311
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 6: Yeah, that's uh. You know, we were looking for a

312
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:07,520
Speaker 6: way where we could do the most good for the

313
00:19:07,520 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 6: most people, and a lot of people were running away

314
00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 6: from the Texas identity and trying to ran smackdub into

315
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 6: it right through the middle. And I was recruited down

316
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 6: to stand up the Texas Center. And first thing we

317
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 6: had to figure out is what does the Texas Center do?

318
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 6: And we stood it up actually on the first of

319
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 6: June twenty twenty, and so I was there at the

320
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 6: height of COVID, which meant that I got a lot

321
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 6: of time to look around the state and figure out,

322
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 6: you know, what's next, what is the Texas story has

323
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:41,280
Speaker 6: it being told? And got a really good you know,

324
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 6: thirty thousand foot view of what was going on across

325
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 6: the state. And I came back and said, all right,

326
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 6: Texas culture is formed in the classrooms and we are

327
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 6: watching that or road away and think about it. We're

328
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,399
Speaker 6: about to be the largest state in the country in

329
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 6: terms of population. That's the trend we're going on now.

330
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 6: I think it's thousand people a day moving here. And

331
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 6: these people didn't have Coach Pringle in seventh grade to

332
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:09,440
Speaker 6: hand out.

333
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 5: The worksheets so that you could learn.

334
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 6: About, you know, Booie's knife. They had no Texas history.

335
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 6: So there's kind of a dual purpose here. One is,

336
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,680
Speaker 6: let's get the culture factory right in the K through

337
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 6: twelve space, but also in the K through sixteen space,

338
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,479
Speaker 6: and we're doing a lot of outreach at the cottage

339
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 6: level as well to prepare a population in this state

340
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 6: to take care of this state into the future. Somebody's

341
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 6: got to know this story and carry it forward. We're not,

342
00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:42,200
Speaker 6: you know, as they say, we're not worshiping ashes. We're

343
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:45,680
Speaker 6: actually passing the porch at Shriner and we think that

344
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 6: Texas I'll be front and center, and that's that's we're

345
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:49,480
Speaker 6: living into.

346
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 3: That promise was Shriner University hit by the flood physically hit.

347
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:56,919
Speaker 5: You know, it was.

348
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 6: We were high and drive. You know, I'm speaking to you,

349
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 6: one mile from Guadelupe River. I was high and dry.

350
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 6: I was wondering where the rain was falling. So I

351
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 6: wasn't seeing much in my backyard. And I was heading

352
00:21:08,840 --> 00:21:13,880
Speaker 6: out to gathering Fourth July gathering out in Tarpley down

353
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 6: in Vandera County, and the only thing I saw was that,

354
00:21:17,320 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 6: you know, one of the river crossings might be a

355
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,600
Speaker 6: little tough, so I was going to delay going. And

356
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 6: then all of a sudden, the news started growing in

357
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:27,199
Speaker 6: that there was a disaster unfolding just within you know,

358
00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 6: nearly rifle shot of my house, and I had no idea.

359
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 3: I was not aware that area was even known as

360
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:40,359
Speaker 3: flash Flood Alley. I have since learned so much about

361
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 3: Kerrville and Kerr County and part of a movie team

362
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 3: that will be releasing a movie in a few months

363
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 3: about it, called River of Angels, And I have learned

364
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:54,399
Speaker 3: so much about rescue and then unfortunately recovery, and the

365
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 3: nobility of people who do these sorts of things, and

366
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:02,359
Speaker 3: the area and the history, and it's all so fascinating

367
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 3: to me, just absolutely fascinating Doctor Don Fraser. Let me

368
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,399
Speaker 3: ask you this. I'm gonna hear from parents when we

369
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,439
Speaker 3: hang up. Who are going to say? I have a

370
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,520
Speaker 3: young kid who is interested in Texas history.

371
00:22:15,119 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 2: My mother imbued in me a great.

372
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:22,679
Speaker 3: Love of Texas history, and for Christmas I would get books.

373
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 3: I had a teacher, Miss Steed, in third grade who

374
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:28,520
Speaker 3: I would finish the reading early because I was a

375
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 3: little dork, and she would go to the library and

376
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 3: pull Texas history books on me. I wanted to have

377
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 3: a son named Crockett from the time I was in

378
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 3: middle school, and I do. And so Texas history is

379
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 3: near and dear to me. But is there a site

380
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:45,800
Speaker 3: or a resource or things that you have found in

381
00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:50,640
Speaker 3: budding young Texas officionados, if not historians, that you would

382
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,360
Speaker 3: give as a resource to parents.

383
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 5: You Bett.

384
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:58,000
Speaker 6: This summer we launched a two hundred and fifty video

385
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 6: series that tells the entire story of Texas from Day

386
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,199
Speaker 6: eight of Genesis to last Thursday. And we do it

387
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 6: in five minute chunks. So each video is five minutes long,

388
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,360
Speaker 6: and it's a narrative story. Gives you the entire narrative

389
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 6: arts that you can pick up the plotline on how

390
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 6: Texas came to be what it is today, and that

391
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,359
Speaker 6: is on our YouTube channel, and you can go to

392
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:26,120
Speaker 6: our website, the Texas Center dot org and you'll see

393
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 6: a link to e Pluribus Texas, which is our big project.

394
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 2: Oh I had my mic off. Sorry.

395
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 3: The Texas Center dot e or dot org I'm looking

396
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 3: at is a slick website, Doctor Frasier.

397
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,439
Speaker 6: That's good, going to be sicker because we're going to

398
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:55,280
Speaker 6: be delivering a lot of curricular content both for public

399
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 6: schools that homeschoolers, private schools, charter schools. We're leaning into

400
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:03,639
Speaker 6: fight and curriculum now to go with those videos. So

401
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 6: the videos that's that's free to the public, we're going

402
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,679
Speaker 6: to mount those on the website. Right now, they're all

403
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:13,640
Speaker 6: available on YouTube on the Texas Center website. But it's

404
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 6: about twenty three hours worth of content. So thank you know,

405
00:24:17,119 --> 00:24:22,199
Speaker 6: three Netflix series for seasons, and by the time you

406
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,439
Speaker 6: get done with it, you'll know a lot about things

407
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 6: like you know why oil is important, and what the

408
00:24:29,640 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 6: whole story of the comanches were, and where does Mexico

409
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,919
Speaker 6: play into all this, and you know what was the

410
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 6: story behind the alum on we are the implications of

411
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 6: that story for the rest of the country. And you'll

412
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,879
Speaker 6: also learn about slavery and learn about the importance of

413
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 6: cotton and all sorts of things. By the time you're

414
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,679
Speaker 6: done with this two hundred and fifty video series, you

415
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 6: will be ready to be fully immersed, baptized in the

416
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:55,640
Speaker 6: brasses as a true text.

417
00:24:56,119 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 3: God bless you, Doctor Don Fraser, the Texas Center, Shriner University.

418
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:03,040
Speaker 2: You normally smell mister.

419
00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:11,400
Speaker 3: The Michael Berry Show, Urban Cowboy, don't ride bulls, but I.

420
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 5: Will.

421
00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 2: All of a sudden, we're in crisis again.

422
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:22,960
Speaker 3: Because Congress has been out, they've been on vacation, they've

423
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 3: been on their lobbyist funded vacations, and somehow the country

424
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 3: kept going. And then they come back and all of

425
00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 3: a sudden, it's into the world. Have you ever known

426
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 3: that person? Maybe in school, maybe in your workplace. God,

427
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 3: I hope not in your household, but it can happen.

428
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 3: Maybe at church. Maybe you haven't seen them since yesterday,

429
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:48,760
Speaker 3: maybe it's been a year, but it's always going to

430
00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:53,040
Speaker 3: be the same, and almost always a woman, never a

431
00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:53,680
Speaker 3: straight man.

432
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 2: And they come bounding into the room. Oh my God,

433
00:25:56,840 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 2: have you hired?

434
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,440
Speaker 3: No, has my dad died? Is my wife sick, or

435
00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:05,720
Speaker 3: my kids in trouble. No, no, they're gonna, they're gonna.

436
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,800
Speaker 3: And then whatever it is is what what's got that

437
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 3: person twisted off? And if you're if most people will go, oh,

438
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 3: I'm sorry and empathize.

439
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 2: I don't.

440
00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 3: I'm dead inside. I've done what I do for too long,

441
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 3: everyday emails.

442
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,480
Speaker 2: Of hey, what I have going on over here is

443
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 2: really important?

444
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:27,720
Speaker 4: Look over here.

445
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 2: Sorry, I don't have time for that. You're awful, You're horrible.

446
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:33,320
Speaker 3: At some point you just kind of you literally grow

447
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:36,000
Speaker 3: a skin of leather and you do am I am I?

448
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:41,400
Speaker 2: Okay? Good to know. Well you're stupid and overly emotional.

449
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 2: How about that? How about that? I can play too.

450
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,199
Speaker 2: So there's that person that.

451
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 3: Is just they're wound up like a whirling dervish, and

452
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 3: there's always a crisis.

453
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:55,640
Speaker 2: That's what the liberals do.

454
00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 3: The average everyday liberals do it, and that crisis it's

455
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 3: what drives them. That's what makes you go get the

456
00:27:04,320 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 3: hair and pink, that's what makes you get the bones

457
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 3: through every part of your body. So you can't go

458
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,880
Speaker 3: through the magnetometer at the airport without getting dragged into

459
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:17,119
Speaker 3: the wall. That's what causes these people to have fifty

460
00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 3: five bumper stickers on their back. It's what causes them

461
00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,480
Speaker 3: to run up and screech at you. They're dead inside.

462
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,720
Speaker 3: They're sad and pathetic and hollow and dead inside, and

463
00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 3: they're just gloming on to anything. Like Greta Thunberg. They're

464
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 3: just what is my next thing that I can get

465
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 3: attention for it, that I can get caught up in.

466
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,280
Speaker 3: But what's the point of getting caught up if everybody

467
00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 3: else isn't getting caught up. You got to get everybody

468
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:45,720
Speaker 3: caught up. That's you're just the foot soldiers in the

469
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:49,479
Speaker 3: whole fraud. But Congress, and by the way, there's some

470
00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:52,400
Speaker 3: Republicans that do this too. This is what they do

471
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 3: when they're on vacation, or we can be on vacation now.

472
00:27:55,800 --> 00:28:00,719
Speaker 3: Then they come back and whoooo. The worst part is

473
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 3: a lot of people don't realize that game is going on.

474
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 3: They don't realize, Oh, how come I wasn't how come

475
00:28:06,080 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 3: I wasn't all panicked over Congress the last three weeks?

476
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 3: Oh because they were they were in recess. Now the

477
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 3: day they get back, all of a sudden, the crisis again.

478
00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:18,760
Speaker 3: Do you not notice? So they're threatening another government shutdown.

479
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 3: Oh no, not another government shut down. I died twenty

480
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:27,199
Speaker 3: three of them ago didn't. Wasn't there a fiscal cliff?

481
00:28:27,720 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 3: Ask Chad chat had a bunch of materials on the

482
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 3: fiscal cliff. We were going off the fiscal cliff. Oh,

483
00:28:32,240 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 3: it was gonna be the end of the world. The

484
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,840
Speaker 3: government was going to shut down. And every year they

485
00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 3: bring out, oh, one of the wise sages of government shutdowns,

486
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 3: he's been around a while. They'll roll out brit Hume,

487
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 3: for instance. Oh, you know, government shutdown, honey four. They

488
00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 3: Republicans have regretted that ever since then the government shut

489
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 3: down and oh brit Hume.

490
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 6: Oh.

491
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 3: And then the Fox audience says, oh, maybe we're not

492
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 3: for a government shut Yeah, you know that's that new Gangridge.

493
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 2: He misplayed his hand.

494
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 3: And then Clinton got reelected and you know, you know

495
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 3: what happened and all those things and terrible and horrible.

496
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:03,479
Speaker 2: Oh go home.

497
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 3: Maybe we shouldn't. I thought we did want of the

498
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 3: compan should I Maybe we don't? Break Humo says we don't.

499
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 3: And there's all this drama over the government shut down,

500
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 3: and I'm like, look, if y'all need something to put

501
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:17,840
Speaker 3: on TV, do this during the off season.

502
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 2: It's football season.

503
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 5: Man.

504
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 3: We're over here arguing over whether Arch Manning is overhyped

505
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,480
Speaker 3: or he's going to be fine. You got me over

506
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,520
Speaker 3: here going calm down, all you people who hyped him

507
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 3: up and now kicked him.

508
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:31,040
Speaker 2: Out of the bed.

509
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 3: His first career start, he went seventeen for thirty. Peyton

510
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 3: Manning's first career start, he went ten for eighteen. Arch

511
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 3: had one hundred and seventy yards. Peyton had one hundred

512
00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:47,200
Speaker 3: and thirty eight. Arch had a touchdown and an interception.

513
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 3: Peyton had no touchdowns in two interceptions. Arch paid the

514
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:56,600
Speaker 3: number three Ohio State team with arguably the best defensive

515
00:29:56,640 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 3: coordinator in college football this year, Matt Patricia Peyton was

516
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 3: number ten Alabama. And by the way, it wasn't Nick

517
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 3: Saban Alabama. They both lost. They were both hyped. It's

518
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 3: not Arche's fault. He was hyped and the very people

519
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 3: who hyped him, hey, aggress It's a generational six star town.

520
00:30:15,320 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 3: He's got the pedigreat pedigree doesn't matter one bit.

521
00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:20,960
Speaker 2: Oh, it means he got good, good jeans.

522
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 3: He's big, he's strong, and if you listen to the game,

523
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 3: you heard fifteen times you got the speed from his mama.

524
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:29,440
Speaker 3: That's what happens the first game when these guys have

525
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 3: had too much time to prep and they got a

526
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 3: long list of stuff and they got to work it

527
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:37,360
Speaker 3: into the broadcast. So every time arch Manning out ran somebody,

528
00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 3: cut the corn, turned the corner, ran down on the

529
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 3: side of you knows a he's a manny, but he

530
00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 3: got that speed from his mama.

531
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 2: Okay, Joel, we heard you. We know that.

532
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 3: You've spoken to the family and his dad and he

533
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 3: insisted that his mama get credit for his speed. We've

534
00:30:51,360 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 3: got that. You've said it enough times. We know what

535
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 3: town he's from, we know his mama's fast.

536
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 2: We got it.

537
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 3: But anyway, you got these fools trying to get you

538
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:05,920
Speaker 3: all hyped up in his football season. No thanks, you

539
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 3: can save that for you know, there's a couple of

540
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,520
Speaker 3: weeks there, there's no sport, there's no sport on TV.

541
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 3: You don't do this, then maybe we'll go okay, all right,

542
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:15,840
Speaker 3: all right, we'll do it. Then you can roll out

543
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 3: il hom Omars. You'll say stupid stuff. Jasmine Clark, Jasmin

544
00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 3: Crockett will have even more of a ghetto accident.

545
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,520
Speaker 2: I won't tell y'all what they going? Okay, you know what,

546
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 2: it's kind.

547
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 3: Of funny for a minute, But I think in the

548
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 3: midst of all this nonsense, before you get worked up,

549
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 3: it's time we heard from Trump's secretary of sanity to tell.

550
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 2: Us what's going on.

551
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:39,640
Speaker 1: Good afternoon, let me get right to it. Congress has

552
00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 1: returned from a month long vacation. During their absence, America

553
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: did not collapse. The sun came up, dog still barked,

554
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:50,200
Speaker 1: Bucky still sold brisket sandwiches. In fact, many Americans reported

555
00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: a noticeable reduction and noise. They now inform us of

556
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 1: an impending funding crisis.

557
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 2: Translation, they forgot to do their job before they left.

558
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: Now they want credit for sprinting to clean.

559
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 2: Up their own mess.

560
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:06,080
Speaker 1: If your babysitter took the month off then ran back

561
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 1: and yelling the kids might starve, you wouldn't give her

562
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: a medal, you'd fire O.

563
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:12,600
Speaker 2: My goodness, hell, could he say.

564
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: That shutdowns are not the apocalypse? The last time it happened,

565
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:20,120
Speaker 1: the biggest tragedy was someone couldn't tour the Washington Monument. Meanwhile,

566
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: the people who caused the shutdown, well, they still got paid.

567
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 1: Of course they did so to summarize, Congress left, nobody

568
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:27,960
Speaker 1: missed him.

569
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 2: They came back, started.

570
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,040
Speaker 1: Panicking about a problem they created, and now the expect

571
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 1: applause for maybe possibly sort of fixing it. Ladies and gentlemen,

572
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:39,720
Speaker 1: this is not governance. This is performance art, and a

573
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: bad one. So in closing, America is not in a

574
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:46,080
Speaker 1: funding crisis. America is in a Congress crisis. Thank you,

575
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 1: No further.

576
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 6: Question, no.

577
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 4: Promo.

578
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:55,959
Speaker 3: Should we open up the phone lines seven one thousand, No,

579
00:32:56,600 --> 00:32:57,280
Speaker 3: we got a guess,
