They just 19 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:14,119 Speaker 3: needed to offer me equal time. 20 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:21,559 Speaker 1: That's good. 21 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 3: I want to be clear that like law enforcement isn't 22 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:34,080 Speaker 3: to prevent crime, law enforcement solves crime. Okay, that is 23 00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,840 Speaker 3: what they're supposed to do. So I had to go 24 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 3: around the country and educate people about what immigrants do 25 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 3: for this country, or the fact that we are a 26 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 3: country of immigrants.

Yah, I don't know 33 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 3: how many of them on that side are getting divorced 34 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 3: because they getting caught up sleeping with their coworker staffers 35 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 3: and turns all the things. Yeah, you ain't gotta believe me. 36 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: Just go Google. 37 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:15,880 Speaker 3: You'll find some of it, I'm telling you. And the 38 00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,640 Speaker 3: wives is being messy and petty. 39 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: They putting it into divorce. 40 00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, that's gotta be true, because your lawyer 41 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 3: would know that they're gonna lose it. SPCG, MEG GCG. 42 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: President Trump is not endorsing John Cornyan, and it's making 43 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,079 Speaker 1: Corning crazy because Cornyn is losing in the polls. He 44 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,800 Speaker 1: is being challenged by Ken Paxton, who's leading that race, 45 00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: and Wesley Hunt, who has garnered more support than anyone 46 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,959 Speaker 1: expected he would, and in one poll conducted at the 47 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: end of January, Hunt was actually in second place, making 48 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 1: it Paxton Hunt with Corning in third. Despite the fact 49 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: that they spent somewhere between seventy million and one hundred 50 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,720 Speaker 1: million out of DC in the swamp. Now come November, 51 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:27,320 Speaker 1: the National Republican Party will be begging you for money, 52 00:03:27,560 --> 00:03:30,480 Speaker 1: especially if you've ever contributed. You'll be getting all those 53 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: text messages. You'll be getting mailers, You'll be getting emails. 54 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:36,400 Speaker 1: Now's the time. There'll be a siren on one O. 55 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,760 Speaker 1: This is it. You got to give us some money. 56 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:45,200 Speaker 1: The Democrats are coming. The Democrats are coming. You got 57 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: to give us some money. You spent your money in 58 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:57,680 Speaker 1: a Republican primary. You spent your money in Texas telling 59 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: me to vote for the guy I don't like, John Cornyn. 60 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: We give you money National Republican Party to beat the Democrats. 61 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: You use that money to destroy Republicans who don't join 62 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: the uniparty. You blew through. The term that was used 63 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: in a number of articles last week talking about how 64 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: the national donors are very angry with Cornyn was that 65 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:32,359 Speaker 1: they felt the campaign was burning money. That's what happens. 66 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,360 Speaker 1: That's what happens when you get that funny money. That's 67 00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: what happens when private equity comes in and starts buying 68 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,360 Speaker 1: up an industry. They know nothing about they start buying 69 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: businesses that don't actually work, that have a good deck 70 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 1: that they showed. Let's go back to John Cornyn. I 71 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: just picked a newspaper at random, the Corpus Christi Caller Times. 72 00:04:54,160 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: This is from May eighteenth, twenty twenty three, to the 73 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: campaign that we just finished a little more than a 74 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: year ago. Headline Corpus Christy color Times, not an alternative 75 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: paper down the middle paper Corpus Christi Collor Times. Cornyan 76 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: says Trump cannot win twenty twenty four general election and 77 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:25,080 Speaker 1: that quote time has passed him by. Cornyan says Trump 78 00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 1: cannot win twenty twenty four general election and that time 79 00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:34,919 Speaker 1: has passed him by. The senior senator from Texas did 80 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 1: not say who he will back in the twenty twenty 81 00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: four Republican primaries, but that electability is key. Story by 82 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: John C. Moritz Us. Senator John Cornyon of Texas said 83 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 1: Thursday that former President Donald Trump cannot win the twenty 84 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 1: twenty four general election and that he'll be looking for 85 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:52,000 Speaker 1: alternatives as his party plans to take on Democrat Joe 86 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: Biden next year. Joe Biden wasn't on the ballot. Donald 87 00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: Trump won it. You don't know what you're doing, John Cornyn, 88 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: you don't count votes, well, but why would you. You 89 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 1: don't know how real Texans feel. Quote. I think President 90 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 1: Trump's time has passed him by, Cornan said during a 91 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:16,560 Speaker 1: conference call with Texas reporters. See he held this conference 92 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 1: call for the whole purpose of sabotaging Trump. It wasn't 93 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: an offhanded remark in the middle of a game as 94 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,680 Speaker 1: he was talking to somebody. He wasn't distracted in the 95 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:30,359 Speaker 1: middle of a hearing, and so hey, what about trumph 96 00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:34,080 Speaker 1: don't even pass. He planned this whole thing out. This 97 00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,279 Speaker 1: was his Iddes of March. He was putting a knife 98 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: into Trump. That's what he believed he was doing. This 99 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 1: was orchestrated, Cornan said during a conference call with Texts reporters. 100 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: I think President Trump's time has passed him by, and 101 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:52,159 Speaker 1: I think what's the most important thing for me is 102 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 1: that we have a candidate who can actually win. Cornan continued, 103 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: I don't think President Trump understands that when you run 104 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:07,400 Speaker 1: in a general election, you have to appeal to voters 105 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:12,080 Speaker 1: beyond your base end quote, full stop, technically full stop 106 00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: end quote inside the quotes, but you get the point. 107 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:21,680 Speaker 1: So you hear this term, You hear this phrasing, this 108 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: logic every primary season. I want you to think this through. 109 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:33,320 Speaker 1: Who makes the argument? Don't vote for the candidate you want. 110 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: Sure you'd like him. He's much more in tune with 111 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 1: your values. He'll go to Austin or DC and burn 112 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 1: the place down, and that's what you want. He'll be 113 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: true to what he promises. But he can't win in November. 114 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,560 Speaker 1: That's what they said about Trump. You need somebody who 115 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: you really don't like, who's really you know, Republican life rhino, 116 00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,280 Speaker 1: because that's the only ones that can win in November. 117 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 1: That's not true. Lena's lush carpet was the subject of 118 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: the day yesterday. Apparently she has had to live through 119 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: the living hell. Y'all don't know what she goes through. 120 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:16,800 Speaker 1: For you eight years she's been your county judge. She 121 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 1: gave up a job doing nothing, literally because it wasn't 122 00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:24,720 Speaker 1: a job making nothing to be your county judge. And 123 00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: do you know it was revealed during a very contentious 124 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,520 Speaker 1: cat fight between the two women on Commission's Court where 125 00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: Leslie brionis whose office abuts Lena Hidogo's, and they were 126 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:46,479 Speaker 1: requesting a door be opened or be cut for emergency 127 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: use into Lena Hidalgo's office, so they would have a 128 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 1: back door exit. Lena did not want a back door 129 00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: put in. She they shouldn't like the back door, so 130 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 1: that's not an option for her. She don't want. So 131 00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: Lena Headalgo pitched a fit because former of our chief 132 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 1: Sampagna now works for the county, had done the work 133 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 1: up on this deal, and he came before the County 134 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:16,880 Speaker 1: Commissioner's court. This very internal matter, right, this is the 135 00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 1: entirety of Harris County government was belaboring whether Leslie Brioni's 136 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: could get a door to her office that went into 137 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: Lena Headalgo's and Lena Headalgo pitched a fit. And when 138 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 1: she's in the middle of a mental health episode, she 139 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 1: sounds very very fatigued, very frustrated, a lot of wine 140 00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:46,240 Speaker 1: last night, very fatigued, very frustrated, very desperate, very whiny, 141 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 1: and she said she didn't like this. She was now 142 00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,960 Speaker 1: she was going to make her statement and then she 143 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,040 Speaker 1: was going to take her carpet and go home. She 144 00:09:57,120 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: was going to eat her lunch. I'm not going to 145 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: leave to go eat my lunch. I'm not going to 146 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,120 Speaker 1: stay here. I'm gonna leave. I'm gonna eat my lunch. 147 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: What pray tailer are you having? I'm going to go 148 00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 1: eat my lunch. I'm not going to stay here for 149 00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: this meeting. So she left and they voted for to 150 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: nothing to cut the door. And now we got our 151 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 1: commissioner's court very occupied with the space indoors of offices 152 00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,599 Speaker 1: at Harris County. You wonder why everything is wrong in 153 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: our county. You wonder why there is flooding every time, 154 00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,880 Speaker 1: there's so much as a mist because how would we 155 00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 1: have fixed the drainage issue, which should be so serious. 156 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 1: Why would we have time to pay the constables, keep 157 00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:42,800 Speaker 1: sheriff's deputies on the streets to keep our community safe. 158 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:46,000 Speaker 1: We don't have time for that. Lena's more worried about 159 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: whether a door is cut through her office for another 160 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 1: county commissioner. So we had to hear about Lena's lush carpet. 161 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,319 Speaker 1: She's for seven of the eight years, which means when 162 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 1: she hasn't done is that she had the bathroom remodeled 163 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: because the carpet didn't mash the drapes and she wasn't 164 00:11:07,160 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 1: gonna stand for that. Here's what she said. I had 165 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 1: carpet in my bathroom for seven of my eight years 166 00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:18,480 Speaker 1: in office. My goodness allowed that poor woman. How she 167 00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 1: has suffered to the emails we go. Bobby writes, Molly 168 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,360 Speaker 1: Ringwalald should have starred in Where the Red Fern Grows. 169 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 1: Mike writes, maybe radio appropriate joke. Friend of mine had 170 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:40,319 Speaker 1: a bandsaw accident. He calls his wife from the hospital 171 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: and says, Honey, I just want to let you know 172 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: I cut off my finger at work today. She said 173 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,760 Speaker 1: a whole finger. He said, no, just the one next 174 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: to it. Joy Rights. I thought you might get a 175 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: chuckle out of this. Had to get a ferrier come 176 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: trim my sheep's hoofs. I asked if they needed a 177 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,400 Speaker 1: harder surface to walk on. He said, no, ma'am. This 178 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,600 Speaker 1: here is a problem from too much groceries. I guess 179 00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: most of us have that a problem on occasion, she writes. 180 00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 1: Lyle writes, in nineteen eighty nine, I was hired to 181 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: repair and replace drywall for a home renovation. As I 182 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,320 Speaker 1: was setting up, I noticed there was a radio in 183 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:19,840 Speaker 1: the corner. So I walked over and turned it on 184 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:23,360 Speaker 1: and went back to work. That was my introduction to 185 00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 1: Rush Limbaugh. I listened pretty much every day till he 186 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 1: stopped broadcasting. Two or three day, sorry, two or three 187 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: years into listening, I heard him say, one day, I 188 00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 1: know how you started listening. Then he started relating that 189 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: exact story, except for the specific drywall hanger part. I 190 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,360 Speaker 1: stopped and looked at the radio, asking myself, how does 191 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 1: he do that? Amazing? And it's true, Rush read his emails. 192 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,440 Speaker 1: When you hear from people, there's a really neat thing. 193 00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: I use the word and it greeps people out, but 194 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: that's the word I consider for it. It's a really 195 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 1: intimate thing when you come into people's workspace, when you 196 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 1: come into the pods in their ear or the headphones 197 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 1: for the older folks, or when you come into their workshop. 198 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:23,600 Speaker 1: A lot of folks will they're retired, or they work 199 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 1: odd hours, or they get home from work and they'll 200 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,960 Speaker 1: go out to their wood shop or their workshop and 201 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: they've got something they do out there, and they're grinding 202 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 1: and pulling and twisting and turning and screwing and unscrewing 203 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:40,360 Speaker 1: and polishing and painting. And while they're doing that, they've 204 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: got us blasting. So we're there with them. We're hanging 205 00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: out with them. People will often feel awkward that they 206 00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,280 Speaker 1: will tell me something when they first meet me, and 207 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,360 Speaker 1: then they're embarrassed and they'll sort of snap back, as 208 00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,360 Speaker 1: if they're having out of body experiences. I don't know 209 00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,440 Speaker 1: why I told you that I've never even met you, 210 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:04,320 Speaker 1: and I always say as Russian, now, no, but you 211 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: know me, and in a sense I know you, not 212 00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:12,439 Speaker 1: your specific social Security number or where exactly you were born. 213 00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 1: But when you read your emails, which I spend an 214 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:20,400 Speaker 1: inordinate amount of time doing, you learn a lot about 215 00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: the people that you're interacting with daily. And I say 216 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,680 Speaker 1: interacting because I talk into the microphone you speak back 217 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 1: to me by email. People are often surprised at how 218 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:35,440 Speaker 1: passionate I get at our interactions. A half asked email 219 00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: that doesn't give me context, place, or anything else, and 220 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 1: I'll say, how on earth am I supposed to know 221 00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 1: who the hell you're talking about? Why didn't you just 222 00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:46,840 Speaker 1: say the name of who you're talking about and explain 223 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: what you're saying. And sometimes the next day people say, well, 224 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:51,880 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I was a little drun I shouldn't have 225 00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:58,360 Speaker 1: emailed you. Please don't, please don't. But there is a connection, 226 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: and Rush had that connect. He understood not just his listeners, 227 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: he understood voters, American citizens, or people. And that's how 228 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 1: he was able to communicate so well. And that's why 229 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: we felt we knew him because he knew us. Michael 230 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:23,920 Speaker 1: Verry Show, Amanda Wrights, Good Mornings. Are wanted to share 231 00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 1: that my uncle Rob clem passed away. I have him 232 00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: to thank for introducing me to you many years ago 233 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: when he lived near Birmingham, Alabama. Not sure if he 234 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:33,880 Speaker 1: ever called in or y'all ever interacted, but my goodness, 235 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:36,840 Speaker 1: he was a great guy, sixty five and didn't look it, 236 00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 1: took care of himself. Texas boy born and raised, pirate 237 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 1: dressing loving conservative got into pirate dress up when they 238 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: moved back to Texas after visiting the Texas Renaissance Festival. 239 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:49,560 Speaker 1: He was in Indiana for work and my aunt couldn't 240 00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,160 Speaker 1: reach him for a few hours, called the local sheriff 241 00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 1: for welfare check. They found him. We think a massive 242 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,720 Speaker 1: heart attack, but we really aren't sure. They're performing an 243 00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,479 Speaker 1: autopsy this week. Please keep his children and your prayers. 244 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 1: Amandi Kurtz Ole miss Rebel. And that's how it happens, 245 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: That's how it happens so often. I got the call 246 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,240 Speaker 1: and never forget it. I got the call from my 247 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:16,600 Speaker 1: brother's police chief. He had just come out of retirement 248 00:16:17,880 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 1: because his friend Rod Carroll was the chief of police 249 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:27,920 Speaker 1: and wanted to build a culture, restore a culture, build 250 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,520 Speaker 1: a culture, and he wanted some of some of the 251 00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 1: guys that he had grown up with that had been 252 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:41,200 Speaker 1: officers in the nineties and oughts to talk about to 253 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:47,200 Speaker 1: mentor some of these younger officers, and to create a culture, 254 00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 1: a cohesive culture, a brotherhood. And my brother was only 255 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 1: too happy because for many people, when you retire, and 256 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:58,960 Speaker 1: this was also true for my dad, you look forward 257 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 1: to that day of retire and it feels like it's 258 00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:06,320 Speaker 1: never gonna come, and you look forward to that day 259 00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:11,720 Speaker 1: of retiring. And the time you look forward to that 260 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: day of retiring is when you wake up in the morning, 261 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:17,919 Speaker 1: don't feel like going in that day, or when you 262 00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 1: get the call on Sunday from your buddy.

Hey, you 272 00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,879 Speaker 1: know there's this there's an ironic thing, you know. It's 273 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,879 Speaker 1: it's almost a cruel thing that we dream of the 274 00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: moment that we have all the time in the world, 275 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: and then once we have it, we realize a stolen 276 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:07,920 Speaker 1: moment is not any funny if it's not stolen anymore. 277 00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:12,240 Speaker 1: There's nothing as much fun as playing hooky from school. 278 00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:16,160 Speaker 1: I still call it playing hooky to this day. When 279 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 1: you can knock off when you're not supposed to take 280 00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:22,159 Speaker 1: a day, go to the movies on a day you're 281 00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:25,679 Speaker 1: supposed to be at work. Man, that's fun. That's a 282 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:30,640 Speaker 1: big deal that should be reserved for every few years. 283 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:35,160 Speaker 1: But there's nothing like it. Somebody told me, I can't 284 00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:37,880 Speaker 1: remember who it was, a few weeks ago, they were 285 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,639 Speaker 1: going to pick up their kid at school, take their 286 00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 1: kid out of school. And I don't remember what it 287 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:48,920 Speaker 1: was do you remember that moment when mom or dad, 288 00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,600 Speaker 1: because you know, at least Mom would do that on occasion, 289 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: but Dad never. Dad's got work. When Dad comes and 290 00:18:56,320 --> 00:19:00,880 Speaker 1: gets you out of school, if ever, because you got 291 00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,879 Speaker 1: something serious, he's told the school it's something serious, and 292 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,360 Speaker 1: you get in this truck. It's not something serious. We're 293 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 1: going fishing. We who ride four wheelers. We're gonna we're 294 00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:16,240 Speaker 1: going out to the farm. We're going to who knows, 295 00:19:16,280 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 1: We're going to movies. Man, that's a special experience. There's 296 00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:28,600 Speaker 1: so many people, so often who look forward to that 297 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 1: day of retiring, and then it comes and it leaves 298 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:35,399 Speaker 1: you a bit hollow and empty because it was supposed 299 00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 1: to be glorious to have complete control of your life. 300 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:44,119 Speaker 1: For most of us, we need structure. You may be 301 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,520 Speaker 1: one of the many people who struggled in high school 302 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: behavioral problems, acting out, getting in trouble, directionless, purposeless, weren't 303 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,359 Speaker 1: sure what you were going to do. There's a fear. 304 00:19:54,480 --> 00:19:55,760 Speaker 1: You know, you're in high school. What am I going 305 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 1: to do? Susie wants to be a veterinarian. Bobby wants 306 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,679 Speaker 1: to be a lawyer. Sam wants to go to what 307 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:06,000 Speaker 1: wants to become a mathematician. Toby wants to play pro football. 308 00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:07,320 Speaker 1: What am I going to do? I don't know what 309 00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:11,080 Speaker 1: I'm gonna do, And so there's this fear. Don't I 310 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: don't see myself in an adult job. What am I 311 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: going to do? So there becomes this recklessness, tays I'm 312 00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:20,439 Speaker 1: not gonna live forever anyway. Let me do stupid stuff 313 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 1: because stupid. Doing stupid stuff makes you feel alive, makes 314 00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 1: you feel you're in control. Nobody tells me what to do, 315 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 1: look at me. There's a reckless abandon to such a feeling, 316 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 1: to such an emotion, to such an experience. And then 317 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:40,800 Speaker 1: eventually there's the trouble that comes with it, always because 318 00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 1: eventually you do get caught. And then there is that 319 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 1: moment where the shame more than anything else, the shame 320 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:54,920 Speaker 1: you've embarrassed your parents, feel like a bad person. Now 321 00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,240 Speaker 1: that decision doesn't seem such a good one any longer. 322 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 1: So for many people, whether they get in trouble or not, 323 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,199 Speaker 1: who are directionless and purposeless, for a long time, the 324 00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: military served as that for some people, that sort does 325 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm gonna do, but I'm gonna 326 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,199 Speaker 1: I know I'm gonna go there, and while I'm there, 327 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have a purpose. I'm gonna start with a challenge. 328 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:20,960 Speaker 1: That's why boot camp's on the front end. The sense 329 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,360 Speaker 1: of accomplishment. If you ever, if you ever had, if 330 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 1: anybody you know file this way. Anybody you ever know 331 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:32,520 Speaker 1: goes into the Marines and they are graduating out at 332 00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:38,679 Speaker 1: Camp Pendleton in San Diego, Ish go to that graduation. 333 00:21:39,160 --> 00:21:42,040 Speaker 1: Oh man, let me tell you something that is an experience. 334 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,520 Speaker 1: Young man. We know very well David Burton. He just 335 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: got promoted again and it was my honor to get 336 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:53,200 Speaker 1: to pin his his newest rank on him. And he 337 00:21:53,400 --> 00:22:01,399 Speaker 1: was graduating from boot camp and he some distinction. Was 338 00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,119 Speaker 1: we done something I don't remember, but it was a 339 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:06,199 Speaker 1: big deal. We weren't surprised. He was meant for this 340 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:13,480 Speaker 1: and to see his growth just in his period of time. 341 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:16,080 Speaker 1: It's a great kid before raised by a single mom, 342 00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:17,800 Speaker 1: so he was kind of the man of the house 343 00:22:18,200 --> 00:22:20,720 Speaker 1: from his mid teens. He worked, he supported the family 344 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: or contributed to them, to the household. But he was 345 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,639 Speaker 1: a young man who had direction and purpose and structure. 346 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: I think children lacked that and need it and purpose 347 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:40,680 Speaker 1: and structure. Sorry, structure gives you comfort. You know the boundaries, 348 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:44,120 Speaker 1: you know the rules. I think that one of the 349 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:48,640 Speaker 1: great failures of modern parenting that people learn from reading 350 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:52,520 Speaker 1: too many articles online that are always written by women. 351 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,959 Speaker 1: We always tell our children no. We should tell our 352 00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:00,679 Speaker 1: children yes. Why do we have to tell our children now? 353 00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:04,600 Speaker 1: And so you raise these children who act at it, 354 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 1: and it's almost like each one of them. You see this. 355 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,400 Speaker 1: You see a lot of these protesters. They're waiting for 356 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,359 Speaker 1: someone to tell them no. They're waiting for someone to 357 00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,239 Speaker 1: build a barrier in a boundary. They're waiting for some 358 00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 1: place to nestle and have a space that has boundaries. 359 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 1: You need that. A lot of emails coming in asking 360 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,679 Speaker 1: the following question in one form or another, So let 361 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:31,239 Speaker 1: me try to address it. Zar. Why do I have 362 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 1: to hit the down arrow button to see Paxton's name 363 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:39,439 Speaker 1: on the ballot? Is that bad luck or just a 364 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 1: typical rhino trick? So people don't see it all? Right, 365 00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 1: let me explain how this works. Ballot positioning is done 366 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: by a name draw At least it used to. I 367 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,159 Speaker 1: think this is probably still. It's a random process. No 368 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,000 Speaker 1: matter what. When I was on the ballot, we would 369 00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:01,920 Speaker 1: go into see Secretary's office and you each draw a number. 370 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,479 Speaker 1: If you drew one, you were first on the ballot, 371 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,400 Speaker 1: which is what you want. If you drew I had 372 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: seven opponents my first election, or seven of us, so 373 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: six opponents, you didn't want to be number six out 374 00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,159 Speaker 1: of seven, you get buried in the middle of all that. 375 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 1: You want to be the first name on the on 376 00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 1: the list. It is completely and utterly random. Now has 377 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 1: there ever been in some place and time cheating done 378 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 1: where the corner of the number one was bent and 379 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 1: the candidate who rod near, whoever favored, got to pick first. Sure, 380 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:48,399 Speaker 1: of course they're cheating and everything all right, we've learned that, 381 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:53,119 Speaker 1: we've had to learn some lessons that we're putting right 382 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:57,560 Speaker 1: in our face in the last few years. However, buying large, 383 00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:01,200 Speaker 1: that process is completely random. So a number of people 384 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:04,080 Speaker 1: have asked, why do I have to scroll down to 385 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:05,960 Speaker 1: vote for Alex Miler? Why do I have to scroll 386 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 1: down to vote for Steve toth Paxton, whoever that may be? 387 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:18,399 Speaker 1: That is completely random. Now, we have had to be 388 00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: so cynical and skeptical of everything we are told, and 389 00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,879 Speaker 1: the fix is in on so many things that you 390 00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:31,440 Speaker 1: cannot blame us for seeing conspiracies everywhere, particularly because they 391 00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:36,199 Speaker 1: are there in many things. Do not despair over the 392 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:40,120 Speaker 1: ballot position of your favorite candidate without having been there 393 00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 1: for the process. I think you're fine on that. I 394 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:47,600 Speaker 1: don't think your candidate's being screwed. The fact that I 395 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 1: haven't voted yet we're talking about going today. The fact 396 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,160 Speaker 1: that in order to vote for I think for governor, 397 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 1: there's some large number of people running and you have 398 00:25:59,359 --> 00:26:02,600 Speaker 1: to scroll page two. Somebody was voting for Abbot. I 399 00:26:02,600 --> 00:26:04,160 Speaker 1: don't know why you vote for Abbot, but they were, 400 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:06,439 Speaker 1: and they had to scroll all the way down on 401 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 1: page two. Well, hold on, you have to scroll to 402 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,520 Speaker 1: page two because a lot of people are running, to 403 00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,840 Speaker 1: which the immediate reaction is without have like an IQ 404 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: test or something before you can run. I want you 405 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,719 Speaker 1: stop and think about what you say before you say it. 406 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 1: Too many people are running for office. We need to 407 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: have a process by which everybody can't run for office, 408 00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,000 Speaker 1: just the people I want the moment you have a 409 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,760 Speaker 1: process like that, it will end up in the hands 410 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,080 Speaker 1: of people who will keep your candidate off of That's 411 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,440 Speaker 1: what they try to do to Trump. They tried to 412 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 1: keep Trump from being one of the names that caused 413 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,320 Speaker 1: so many people to be on the ballot. You want that, No, 414 00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:50,879 Speaker 1: of course you don't, So don't worry about in the 415 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:56,399 Speaker 1: ballot position number one, number two. We live in an 416 00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 1: age of convenience. Everything is at our finger. Ye, I'm 417 00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 1: old enough to remember there was value to remembering things. 418 00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 1: One of the worst things you can do in the 419 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 1: middle of a conversation. Nothing, nothing like sitting around the 420 00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:16,399 Speaker 1: fire pit and you're having a conversation. I like to 421 00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:19,720 Speaker 1: remember things. Keeps my mind sharp, and it shows there's 422 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: value to knowing things and recalling things. What's the guy's 423 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:28,280 Speaker 1: name that ran in eighty eight as a Democrat? He 424 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:32,000 Speaker 1: was the heir to a fortune from Delaware. Had to 425 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 1: name Pierre. He went by Peter. Family had the polymer company. 426 00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 1: He was the scion of the wealthy family. And someone 427 00:27:43,600 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 1: put I'll look it up. No, no, no, no, no, we're 428 00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:48,879 Speaker 1: going to find it in our brain. We're going to 429 00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:51,760 Speaker 1: use this thing up here. Well, there was once a 430 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,520 Speaker 1: time when you couldn't look it up. Oh DuPont. There 431 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:58,640 Speaker 1: was once a time when you'd have to work through things. 432 00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 1: What do you remember? What do you you remember? Let's 433 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 1: all let's crowdsources thing to get to an answer. We 434 00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: expect everything immediately. The problem with the immediacy problem, or 435 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,880 Speaker 1: the problem with the immediacy dilemma, is that once things 436 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:22,800 Speaker 1: are available immediately, then any momentary delay is unbearable. So 437 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 1: we went from not being able to reach people. You 438 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,119 Speaker 1: remember the old days, you dial someone on another end, 439 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 1: might pick up or not. You didn't know if they 440 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:36,040 Speaker 1: were home, or they weren't home. They weren't answering. You 441 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 1: didn't know if maybe I let it ring one more time. 442 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:41,520 Speaker 1: Maybe they're outside and it's ringing inside. Remember when the 443 00:28:41,520 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 1: phone were ringing. Nobody wanted to answer it. Hey, Bobby, 444 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 1: phones ringing. I don't want to get it. Get the phone, 445 00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 1: you get it. I don't want to get it. I'm 446 00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 1: not expecting a call. I don't want to get it. 447 00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 1: Somebody needed some It was like having somebody at the door. 448 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:01,600 Speaker 1: And the only people that come to the door of 449 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:08,280 Speaker 1: the JW's maybe an occasional Mormon, maybe a door knocker 450 00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 1: for a candidate. There's nobody coming to your front door 451 00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 1: that you want. We didn't take people at the front door. 452 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 1: You came through the garage at our house. The garage 453 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 1: door is up all the time. Somebody came to the 454 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 1: front door. We didn't want them there. You knew that, Well, 455 00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 1: that's what getting a phone call was like. Well, once 456 00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:32,200 Speaker 1: you grow accustomed to, oh well, now we'll have a 457 00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:36,239 Speaker 1: phone on our hip. Used to you didn't expect to 458 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,480 Speaker 1: talk to someone within three seconds of wanting to talk 459 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: to him. You were prepared. It might take a couple 460 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,080 Speaker 1: of days to track them down. You'd have to call 461 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:50,240 Speaker 1: where they were, pull them from what they're doing, them, 462 00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,600 Speaker 1: get on the phone, and the call wasn't going to 463 00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 1: last long because I got you're always interrupted me. Yeah, 464 00:29:56,040 --> 00:30:00,000 Speaker 1: what you need? Hey, I was just calling to talk. 465 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 1: The only people that talked like that were stay at 466 00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: home moms because they were bored. They were out in 467 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 1: the country. You're in your trailer, she's in her trailer. 468 00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:14,400 Speaker 1: Hey is Robert starting to act funny and like they'd 469 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 1: sit and talk all day. That was understandable, but dudes 470 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 1: didn't get it. You didn't get on the phone and talk, 471 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 1: just chat for no reason, communicate for no reason at all. 472 00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 1: So then we got cell phones. Well we did beepers 473 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:34,800 Speaker 1: in between it. So once you have a cell phone, 474 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 1: you have immediately at all times. We have grown accustomed 475 00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 1: to that. And because we have grown accustomed to everything 476 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,680 Speaker 1: at our fingertips all the time, it changed the paradigm. 477 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:49,640 Speaker 1: It shifted everything, and we don't realize it happened. So 478 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:52,200 Speaker 1: if we have to go to any trouble. I read 479 00:30:52,200 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 1: this all day. Huh. I had to go in there. 480 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:00,640 Speaker 1: I just got the voting. 481 00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:05,680 Speaker 4: It was the worst thing. I had to get my 482 00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:08,720 Speaker 4: thing and all that I went over, Like I always said, Michael, 483 00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:09,520 Speaker 4: I had to scrow. 484 00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:15,280 Speaker 1: That was two pages for this to god un worse 485 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 1: lap out. I had to vote. It took me four. 486 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:22,640 Speaker 4: Minutes to get the all THEMN names. Michael, what are 487 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,800 Speaker 4: we gonna do? Michael's all EMN names? 488 00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 1: So I had to vote. Stop for a second. Did 489 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:34,400 Speaker 1: you land at Omaha Beach? Did you watch your buddies 490 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:37,520 Speaker 1: jump out of a Higgins boat to their death. Let's 491 00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 1: get a little perspective here. Too many names on the ballot. 492 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 1: Let's just rely. I'll bitch about the most tiny thing, 493 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:48,920 Speaker 1: but let's keep this in the perspective. This man throughout 494 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,280 Speaker 1: history was willing to die for what we get to do. 495 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:54,320 Speaker 1: Let's let's buck up a little here. Butter Cup
