And I introduced him at 92 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 3: this event by telling the story of what had happened 93 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 3: a couple of years earlier at a shareholder meeting, and 94 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 3: a shareholder stood up and said, mister Kellahair, you have 95 00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:30,120 Speaker 3: prostate cancer and you are a big part of what 96 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:34,919 Speaker 3: our stock price is tied to because your longevity is 97 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 3: tied to the success of this company. Now that you 98 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 3: have prostate cancer and you've not stopped smoking, are you 99 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 3: going to stop smoking? And he said no, because I 100 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 3: don't smoke out of my ass. And I thought that 101 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 3: was the great the greatest story. So I told that story, 102 00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 3: and as I did, I turned to my right and 103 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 3: he's sitting up on the dais at the head table, 104 00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:04,160 Speaker 3: and he's in the seat next to me. He has 105 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,400 Speaker 3: fired up a cigarette in the middle of my story, 106 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 3: and I hadn't even noticed, and I glanced behind me 107 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 3: and there is a sign that says no smoking, but 108 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 3: you're not telling herb Kellor Hair not to smoke. Well. 109 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:23,360 Speaker 3: Southwest Airlines has announced sweeping layoffs at their Dallas headquarter, 110 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 3: laying off seventeen hundred and fifty employees at their Dallas 111 00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 3: headquarters for the first time in their history. Folks, change 112 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 3: is inevitable. Don't be scared of it. The days of 113 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 3: my dad working for forty years at DuPont are over. 114 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 3: Those days are gone. That's not going to happen any longer. 115 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,560 Speaker 3: Chevron is reducing up to twenty percent of their global 116 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 3: workforce and unfortunately, a lot of that's going to come 117 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,800 Speaker 3: at the top, and the top is headquartered right here 118 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,720 Speaker 3: in Houston. One of the exciting things about being a 119 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 3: city that lures companies to have your headquarters in your 120 00:07:56,320 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 3: city is that when those companies suffer, you suffer because 121 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 3: you grow accustomed to the wealth that they bring to 122 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 3: your community. 123 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: But it's an. 124 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:10,960 Speaker 3: Unfortunate time in the life of Southwest Airlines because that 125 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:15,440 Speaker 3: was for years and years I had no money. You 126 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 3: talk about a discount carrier, they were solid. There's still 127 00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 3: I still like to fly Southwest Airline. 128 00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: I do. 129 00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:24,160 Speaker 3: I still think there's something specially about the airline. I 130 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 3: just I think they fell behind. 131 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: Mica Ferry Shelf. 132 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 6: I know that. 133 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:41,240 Speaker 3: Trashing airlines is export, and we've all had that experience. 134 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 3: The airline industry has gone down in terms of customer service, 135 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 3: and there's no doubt in my mind about that. You 136 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 3: walk around an airport which you're run by the municipalities 137 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 3: where they are either the city or the county or 138 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,959 Speaker 3: sometimes it's a joint city county commission that administers those. 139 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:03,280 Speaker 3: In Houston, it's all the City of Houston, and you 140 00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 3: look at the areas where you sit and you see 141 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 3: that like a bench in a metro a public transport shack, 142 00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:17,679 Speaker 3: you see that they don't want you to lay down. 143 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:22,079 Speaker 3: You can sit, but the bars prevent you from laying 144 00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 3: down unless you were really talented and maybe you could 145 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:25,720 Speaker 3: lay on top of those bars. 146 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,880 Speaker 1: And so you walk along and you. 147 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 3: See people, especially when you're traveling east, you end up 148 00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:34,440 Speaker 3: in airports in the middle of the night one o'clock, 149 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 3: two o'clock and you're catching a connecting and you walk 150 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 3: along you see the people who are laid out and 151 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 3: they look like they've been asleep there for a while. 152 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 3: And they're stuck in the airport for some period of time, 153 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 3: and some people are stuck for days. And they've made 154 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 3: certain that you can't lay down on the seats even 155 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 3: though there's nobody there. And you look around at every 156 00:09:57,200 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 3: airport as you go to board, and you say to yourself, second, 157 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 3: there are never enough seats. Ever, it's not that hard 158 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 3: if you've got if you expect that a plane can seat. 159 00:10:12,040 --> 00:10:13,160 Speaker 1: I don't know how many they can seat. 160 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 3: Let's say con seat two hundred people, whatever that number is, 161 00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,760 Speaker 3: you put fifty percent more because people put their stuff 162 00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 3: in between them, and God forbid. You asked the lady, hey, 163 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:24,719 Speaker 3: could you move all your crap because I want to 164 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 3: sit down? And she's got all her stuff there in 165 00:10:27,920 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 3: a seat. But you stand around at airports looking for 166 00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 3: a place to sit. How hard was this? You built 167 00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 3: this airport, build enough seating, and then you walk in 168 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 3: areas they've got the little areas where somebody's sitting on 169 00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 3: the massage chair. 170 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:47,320 Speaker 5: Ooh. 171 00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,280 Speaker 3: They hate when you do that, not paying for the 172 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,600 Speaker 3: massage chair, just using it to sit in. Why not 173 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,880 Speaker 3: put more seating there. I've argued this for years and 174 00:10:55,960 --> 00:10:59,720 Speaker 3: years and years. They take no efforts to make an 175 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 3: airport comfortable, not even the slightest bit. And there's there's 176 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 3: because there's no regard for the consumer. There's no regard 177 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 3: for the passenger, there's no I'll tell you what is 178 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:15,040 Speaker 3: a great airport In all my airport days, maybe my 179 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:20,480 Speaker 3: favorite airport is skip Ole in UH Amsterdam. Fantastic airport. 180 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 3: Terrible airports the Gale Standstead, Gatwick, what's the big one 181 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 3: in UH London? 182 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:31,680 Speaker 1: There's two? 183 00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 3: What he throwed terrible John F. 184 00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,199 Speaker 1: Kennedy. Although I kind of like Donn F. Kennedy. John F. 185 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,840 Speaker 3: Kennedy reminds me of what an airport would have been 186 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:44,079 Speaker 3: in the sixties because they haven't updated. It's kind of 187 00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 3: dirty and grudgey, but it's it's very it's very New York, 188 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,679 Speaker 3: uh in a time that I kind of idolized New York. 189 00:11:51,760 --> 00:11:54,000 Speaker 3: So I don't I don't mind JFK, don't mind JFK. 190 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 3: I'll tell you it's not about airport, and it's probably 191 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:59,560 Speaker 3: it's one of the few things Baltimore does right is 192 00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:04,360 Speaker 3: because for years all I could afford was Southwest Airlines 193 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 3: and I didn't mind. I used to say it's better 194 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 3: than Continental, and people to laugh, especially people that I 195 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 3: knew because they were all first class on Continental people. 196 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:16,600 Speaker 1: But I enjoyed flying Southwest Airlines. 197 00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 3: I thought that they I love the fact that if 198 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:21,560 Speaker 3: you miss a flight, there's another one in thirty minutes. 199 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 3: No matter where it's going, there's another one in thirty minutes. 200 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 3: We were coming back from New York one night and 201 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,600 Speaker 3: he had to go to Long Island. It was islip, 202 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 3: I think it is, and we somehow one of the 203 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 3: flights didn't make or whatever else. 204 00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 1: We get to an airport, we're rushing. 205 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 3: They let us on a flight, last two seats on there, 206 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,680 Speaker 3: and they led us on a flight the last minute. 207 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 3: They got us back and I had to be at 208 00:12:44,080 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 3: work the next morning, and we made it. 209 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:48,600 Speaker 1: And they, I mean they didn't. 210 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 3: Even they didn't put it through the system that two 211 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:53,040 Speaker 3: seats left were running through the thing. We please get 212 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,319 Speaker 3: back to Houston. They pitied us, and a lot of 213 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,400 Speaker 3: people in the airline business have They don't have any 214 00:12:57,440 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 3: pity for people anymore. They got pissed off somewhere along 215 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,120 Speaker 3: the way. They got pissed off. And I will say this, 216 00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,720 Speaker 3: people will act like an ass on an airplane that 217 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,719 Speaker 3: they want in a way. They won't act any other 218 00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 3: time because their anxiety is high and they are upset 219 00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 3: and there everybody's fighting and putting their stuff up there. 220 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 3: And I would like to be a person and I 221 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 3: think we should do this.

That is fifteen percent 255 00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 7: of the airline's entire corporate workforce, which means major major 256 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,520 Speaker 7: impacts on the love Field headquarters. 257 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: Still is a sad moment, quite honestly. 258 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:54,880 Speaker 7: Aviation consultant and former Southwest spokesperson Ed Stewart were called 259 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:58,640 Speaker 7: how the airline publicly boasted for years about never laying 260 00:14:58,680 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 7: off its employees. 261 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:01,080 Speaker 1: There's always people first. 262 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 5: That's why I think this is such a big shock 263 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 5: in the industry right now. 264 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 7: According to Southwest, the move will save the company approximately 265 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 7: three hundred million dollars annually moving forward. Will Anderson is 266 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 7: the editor in chief of the Dallas business journal. 267 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,600 Speaker 8: THEO Bob Jordan has said that he wants to say, 268 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,080 Speaker 8: run five hundred million dollars a year, So this gets 269 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 8: some part of the way there, but not all the way. 270 00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 7: The historic cuts come during stressful times for the airline 271 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 7: amid they're run in with an activist investor. Southwest is 272 00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 7: in the midst of a board shakeup and an aggressive 273 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 7: effort to reduce costs. 274 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:34,160 Speaker 5: Fifty years they've never laid off. 275 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,400 Speaker 3: I think about how herb Kella Hairs started that business, 276 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 3: and he was a lawyer by day going to court. 277 00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:44,080 Speaker 3: Frank Lorenzo's as was trying to put them out of business. 278 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:45,920 Speaker 3: Continental was trying to put them out of business. The 279 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 3: industry was trying to put them out of business. And 280 00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 3: he would lawyer all day and then he would by 281 00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:55,240 Speaker 3: night come back and run the company. And they flew, 282 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 3: They flew Houston, Dallas, San Antono. And that was just 283 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,600 Speaker 3: a little trying the same plane. It just they would 284 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 3: make that keep that plane in the air all day 285 00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 3: and fight by day to stay alive. But my understanding 286 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 3: is that for those years of the two thousands and 287 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 3: the oughts, they were they were booking profits but not 288 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 3: investing in technology, and they fell so far behind that 289 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,400 Speaker 3: it's it's very hard to catch up. 290 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:33,000 Speaker 1: The Michael Berry Show. 291 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 3: Probably lose a lot of respect, but it's it's my 292 00:16:37,880 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 3: honest opinion. 293 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: It's hard, it's hard to articulate, but I'm going to 294 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: do my best. The Beach Boys were always in the 295 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:46,720 Speaker 1: background for me growing up. 296 00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 3: They're they're not a band, They're the soundtrack of life. 297 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 3: It's there, kind of like the Beatles. I never really 298 00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 3: like when I think of bands, there's a band, they're 299 00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 3: playing music, and they're not playing music. The Beach Boys 300 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,399 Speaker 3: are just sort of this thing that's always on loop 301 00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:09,920 Speaker 3: wherever you are all the time. And so I never 302 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,080 Speaker 3: really bothered to be a fan or not be a fan, 303 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 3: and I never did a deep dive into their music 304 00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:20,880 Speaker 3: until a few years ago. And you know, the serious 305 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:26,760 Speaker 3: mental health problems that they're mostly lead singer until he 306 00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:30,640 Speaker 3: wasn't but lead writer had and the troubles they had 307 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,880 Speaker 3: with his father, and you've got the brothers and you've 308 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:38,920 Speaker 3: got everything going on, and then just stratospheric popularity. People 309 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 3: think of the Beatles getting off the plane and the 310 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,919 Speaker 3: girls going crazy, but the Beach Boys were bigger in 311 00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:48,960 Speaker 3: the US, and pet Sounds was more influential, and the 312 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,160 Speaker 3: Beatles wanted to make music like that. 313 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: I have always liked. 314 00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 3: This song, but the deeper I dug into this song 315 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:02,679 Speaker 3: in the history and you know, the whole kind of 316 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,920 Speaker 3: British American love affair with the Caribbean and the Caribbean 317 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:11,360 Speaker 3: people and the seafaring cultures and all. 318 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:15,160 Speaker 1: It's it's fascinating to me.

That's a good story that your father 372 00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 3: in law was mistaken for Christopher Walkin. 373 00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 1: But let's make no mistakes here. He didn't fail to correct. 374 00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,680 Speaker 3: The man because he didn't want to embarrass the guy. 375 00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 3: He failed to correct the man because he didn't want 376 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,920 Speaker 3: to have to pay the bill. I mean, if a 377 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:28,159 Speaker 3: guy comps your meal, you know, there's a great story. 378 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,280 Speaker 3: I'm going to do the entire story at some point. 379 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:39,560 Speaker 3: The Rich Carleton has a policy that any employee has 380 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,919 Speaker 3: the authority, any employee, the lady that changes the sheets 381 00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,160 Speaker 3: to comp up to two thousand dollars in a day 382 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,680 Speaker 3: to solve a problem. And they figured out that a 383 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 3: rich Carlton employee is on average worth to them I 384 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,640 Speaker 3: think one hundred and ninety seven thousand dollars because Rich 385 00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,360 Speaker 3: Carlton customers are loyal. Rich Carlton is something you stay 386 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 3: at one time, you know, Maywell, Marriott or. 387 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:07,920 Speaker 1: Rich carl It's expensive. And so there are stories. I'm 388 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:09,680 Speaker 1: going to do a podcast on this. I've been reading 389 00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 1: about this. 390 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:13,960 Speaker 3: There are stories where a kid, you know, where an 391 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,520 Speaker 3: item is left in Atlanta and the people are in Hawaii, 392 00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:20,400 Speaker 3: and a staffer hopped on a plane and flew there 393 00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:22,440 Speaker 3: and flew back to keep the item from being lost 394 00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:26,440 Speaker 3: in the It's incredible, it's in incredible the authority you 395 00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,639 Speaker 3: give an employee, and what a difference it makes to 396 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 3: customers shows nice. 397 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:38,560 Speaker 10: Don't call them a fat pick Dorf saying this straight up, 398 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:43,920 Speaker 10: saying this and his version of suspicious minds the only 399 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:44,520 Speaker 10: Elvis cover. 400 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: I will about it, but I will about it. 401 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:52,119 Speaker 3: Expectation is that today the Senate will move to advance 402 00:24:53,600 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 3: Cash Patel for FBI Director and outright confirm Howard Lutnick 403 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:06,720 Speaker 3: for Commerce. Advancing Cash Pattel requires a vote on cloture, 404 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:12,159 Speaker 3: which will allow Senate Majority Leader Thoon to close debate. 405 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 3: Cloture means ending the filibuster. All right, guys, we're gonna 406 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:21,560 Speaker 3: have a vote if you have enough for cloture, which 407 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 3: is the closure of debate c l O t U 408 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 3: r E. If you have enough for cloture unless someone 409 00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 3: votes for cloture and then votes against it, and that 410 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 3: can happen, but in this case won't. 411 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:34,439 Speaker 1: Then he will pass. 412 00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:38,960 Speaker 3: Fifty two forty eight is my expectation, because Mitch McConnell 413 00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:44,400 Speaker 3: will vote against him. You got to figure Cash Patel 414 00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:48,120 Speaker 3: must have never had sex in his life or even 415 00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 3: been in the presence of a woman, because what they 416 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,960 Speaker 3: do very effectively is the Brett Kavanaugh attack. They claim 417 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:57,680 Speaker 3: they were a rapist, a drunk rapist. They did it 418 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,159 Speaker 3: to Clarence Thomas, they did it to Brett Kevanaugh. They 419 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,640 Speaker 3: did it, of course recently to Pete Hegseth. And that's 420 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 3: how they peel off Lisa Rakowski and Susan Collins because 421 00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,119 Speaker 3: girl power got all sticked together, because we have the 422 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:10,920 Speaker 3: same reproductive organs. 423 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 7: And so. 424 00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 3: They haven't hit him with that. In fact, you got 425 00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:22,840 Speaker 3: to figure Cash Ptel is pretty christine if they haven't 426 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:26,080 Speaker 3: been able to dredge up anything on him, because Adam 427 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:28,679 Speaker 3: Schiff is scared to death. There's a reason Joe Biden 428 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,119 Speaker 3: pardoned Adam Schiff. We've got a member of the Senate 429 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:38,480 Speaker 3: and members of Congress, Benny or Bernie Thompson from Michigan. 430 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 3: Of course, Liz Cheney's out. We've got we've got a 431 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,760 Speaker 3: sitting US Senator from California who was pardoned by the President, 432 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:48,119 Speaker 3: Joe Biden. 433 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:50,000 Speaker 1: Let mean think about that. 434 00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 3: Accepting a pardon, which he said he wouldn't do and 435 00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 3: then did, is an admission of gift. You know, it 436 00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 3: is treated by Supreme Court decision as an admission of commission. 437 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:08,320 Speaker 3: So Cash Bettel will be voted out today and confirmed 438 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 3: tomorrow or Thursday. 439 00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:14,359 Speaker 1: And when that happens, it is on. Oh is it 440 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: ever gonna be on? My goodness, it's gonna be a 441 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:20,679 Speaker 1: great day, a great day, indeed, all right? 442 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 3: Ramon dead or alive.

She still forks better than anyone 448 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:37,440 Speaker 3: young woman at ninety years old. 449 00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:39,080 Speaker 1: Dead her alive? 450 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 3: She is alive and well.
