Speaker 1: Kane see masterpiece back here on one oh five three

Speaker 1: for Texas, Built for you. Dallas Cowboys owner and general

4
00:00:09,080 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 1: manager Jerry Jones, Good morning, sir, Hey, good morning guys,

5
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:16,479
Speaker 1: and great to be on beautiful day. Absolutely and we

6
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,479
Speaker 1: heard there's beautiful things happening in the facility and that

7
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: perhaps Roger Staubach is at the Star doing some things.

8
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: What can you tell us about that? Well, it us

9
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 1: all leading up to the recognition of the Medal of

10
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:36,960
Speaker 1: Honor recipients that will be noted in a big way

11
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 1: at the Denver Cowboy game. And you may or may

12
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: not be aware that the National Medal of Honor Recipient

13
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: Museum will be permanently located. There's quite a fundraising effort

14
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: going on right now by some great Americans that are

15
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: so into the patriotism and the recognition of what the

16
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 1: Medal of Honor Recipient is all about. And it's really

17
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:15,200
Speaker 1: for young people. But what is really important is that

18
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: the museum is where it is, which is right there

19
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: by the stadium, right there by the complex there in Arlington.

20
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: It's where it is because we tyically take the visibility

21
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: that the NFL has, and that frankly baseball has, and

22
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,839
Speaker 1: we can use that to go to millions of people,

23
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: not just for several million, if you will. That will

24
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: ultimately go through the museum and we can remind and

25
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: tell American American use what it means to be a

26
00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: great patriot in this country. So we're excited about kicking

27
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: off tomorrow of recognition and the evolvement of all of

28
00:01:56,320 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: our full product of our president. Hey, Jerry, I'm sorry

29
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: to do this. We're having a little bit of connectivity issues.

30
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: We heard what's going on with the Medal of Honor.

31
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,400
Speaker 1: We might try to get you right back so we

32
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: can get a little bit better connection. We have got

33
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,400
Speaker 1: Jerry back. You hear us loud and clear. Okay, I

34
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: can hear you, And let's try to make this work.

35
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: I've got some real rough connection here, but we're going

36
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 1: to make this work, all right. I love it. Now.

37
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: We were just talking about in cooperation with the National

38
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: Medal of Honor Museum Foundation. What we saw out at

39
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: training camp is you got the opportunity to talk with

40
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: Medal of Honor recipients and one of them gave you

41
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: their challenge coin. And then we saw Dak come back

42
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 1: out and give some of the Cowboys challenge coins to

43
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: those Medal of Honor recipients, and we were just recounting

44
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: we thought that was a really cool set of moments

45
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: at training camp. The thing the Medal of Honor recipients

46
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:02,519
Speaker 1: really to me that the message is the courage and

47
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,640
Speaker 1: the fact that while we were all we're all born

48
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: nobody's you say their disadvantaged and advantaged. Everyone has courage.

49
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: And to the extent that you see normal people that

50
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: have called on that courage, it's inspirational because male, female,

51
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: any type of differences in US, we all have courage.

52
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: And the recipients of the Medal of Honors show that

53
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: and they come out of their lives and they've made

54
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: this country what it is. And so that's what this celebration,

55
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: that's what this visibility is about, and we're going to

56
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: be doing it in millions and millions of people, not

57
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: only this weekend but forevermore. Venture of what we do

58
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: with the Salvation Army on Thanksgiving Day and think about

59
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: what we can do with this. Not only the museum's

60
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 1: presence there and of course a great amount monument in

61
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: Washington will have more importantly think of what we'll be

62
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: able to do with the visibility of the national up

63
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: with cowboys and rangers and with people of sports. It's

64
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: a great way for sports to give to the country. Jerry,

65
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: I'm going to take you back to when you're eighteen

66
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: years old, and I know you went to Arkansas and

67
00:04:16,839 --> 00:04:19,279
Speaker 1: we know that history. Was there ever a time in

68
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: your kind of graduating high school that you thought about

69
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: serving the country in a certain branch. Well, I'll tell

70
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 1: you the times there were our Vietnam wartime, and I

71
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: had so many of the people that served were a

72
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 1: part of our ROTC program. And when you had went

73
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: to a land Grand college, you automatically for two years

74
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: were in the ROTC. If you decided to go your

75
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: last two years of college and be in the ROTC program,

76
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: you automatically served. And when you did, those served really

77
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: on the front lines of Vietnam and had some of

78
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: the greatest sacrifices that this country has ever seen by

79
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: those front line people. I had two teammates, one that

80
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 1: one of the most decorated soldiers of Vietnam, Mike Parker,

81
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 1: that was a coach at the University of Texas and

82
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: has a beautiful family and lives in Texas now. But

83
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: oh my goodness, what we owe to those people that

84
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: served during that time and times like that in the

85
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,760
Speaker 1: services is you'll never get it to give it back

86
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 1: enough for them. What they want to do, though, is

87
00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,840
Speaker 1: they want to take their interests what they did to

88
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: serve with lives and their limbs, and their lives really

89
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: impacted forever. What they want to do is create that

90
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: interest and make it go into patriotism and for the

91
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: country that we have today and for our young people today.

92
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: And that's possible to do. Jerry, three of my best

93
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: friends served, and they admire what y'all are doing here.

94
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: They really appreciate it. But one of the things they

95
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: always talk about with me is the ability to overcome adversity.

96
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 1: They're all Cowboys fans too, so they want me to

97
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: ask this question as well. This team that you have

98
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 1: has been able to adapt and overcome so many things

99
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,719
Speaker 1: they didn't seem to be able to adapt and overcome

100
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: last year or have it in the past. For whatever reason,

101
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: what trait or characteristic do you see personally that you

102
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 1: think that's why this team is so adaptable this year. Well, I,

103
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: first of all, the numbers and my hat goes off

104
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 1: to Mike McCarthy, our head coach, and he's instilling this

105
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 1: and he's instilling it in numbers. One of his favorite

106
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 1: messages to the team is it takes eighty players to

107
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 1: make this work. Now we know we only have active

108
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: fifty two. Where does he get a It goes through

109
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: our scouting squad, and it goes through our practice squad

110
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: that we call it there. And then of course you

111
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: have players that don't count because they our own injured reserve.

112
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: But you can't get to where we want to go.

113
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: But what there aren't a lot of people involved in

114
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: the effort. And he has won a Super Bowl. He

115
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: knows that it was the numbers. We've got to get

116
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 1: them ready, got to get the younger players ready to go.

117
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: It does take a number of players who do it,

118
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:37,840
Speaker 1: and I think that's the biggest thing is the number

119
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: that are participating in what we've done so far with

120
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. A player and Jerry there's like the old

121
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: saying is that like if you make a trade or

122
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 1: make a move that your team kind of gets a

123
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: shot and an injection of energy from a big trade.

124
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: And we saw that with Amari Cooper. We saw that,

125
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,920
Speaker 1: you know right there with the Cowboys. What do you

126
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: think or what do you hope the messages to your

127
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 1: team when you don't make a move. Well, I think

128
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: that we certainly had opportunities. But frankly, if you look

129
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: at players that we have promise for right now, this year,

130
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 1: next week, next month, we would be progress stopping in

131
00:08:19,480 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: most cases to bring in another player. We've got players

132
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 1: that can compete and should compete right now and are

133
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: really in line to help us, if you will, for

134
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 1: the future, which, by the way, and my way of

135
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,520
Speaker 1: looking at things right now, the future is the playoffs,

136
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: not the years to come, although that's there too. Now

137
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,560
Speaker 1: when you talk about the variety of players and the

138
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 1: adversity that's been to overcome, we've got, you know, some

139
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: tackle issues, so Lyle Collins and Terrence Steel. Like what

140
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 1: all goes into the determination of you know, who goes

141
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:57,320
Speaker 1: on the right side, who goes on the left side,

142
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 1: based on like continuity and practice time, time and everything

143
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: like that. Well, that's called a position flex And you

144
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 1: first of all have to what I call get man.

145
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 1: Get man. That means fundamentally, get the man there in

146
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 1: front of you and block him and keep him out

147
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: of the hole or keep him off the quarterback. And

148
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 1: we've really had thanks to our coaching we've had and

149
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: obviously the talent of the player, but in Steel, we've

150
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: really had a player that has evolved and that is

151
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:40,160
Speaker 1: so that's so Emboden's encouragement through your entire team. I've

152
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: always thought the offensive line sets the tone physically for

153
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: the football team. And if you've got a very physical

154
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 1: if you've got a one that won't be beat or

155
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,839
Speaker 1: one that won't quit, if you have an offensive line

156
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,360
Speaker 1: that that has that row about it, it goes through

157
00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: the entire team. And that's what you're seeing with this team.

158
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: And we've got position flex, we've got competition going on

159
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: out there every practice, and not only that, we've got

160
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 1: numbers that's rare in the NFL. So Jerry no Amari

161
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: Cooper had the unbelievable catch from Cooper Rush to win

162
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,080
Speaker 1: the game. He was working on his hamstring, was able

163
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: to go back in and make the play to win

164
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: the game. Just playing Major League Baseball and guys that

165
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: dealt with hamstrings, it's just a tough thing to keep

166
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: healthy throughout the season. Once you kind of injure that

167
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: is there a concern of or gosh, could we give

168
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: him a game off to maybe get that hamstring back

169
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: to one hundred. Well, we've just left the buy, and

170
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 1: of course that was the effect of that. It did

171
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,640
Speaker 1: give him a game off that the fact he's playing, though,

172
00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 1: it is since you've experienced that in your career, you

173
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 1: know what it's like, because maybe in the starting fullback

174
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:00,520
Speaker 1: I thought years and years ago and I'm still mad

175
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 1: about it today when I was in college, and so

176
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,199
Speaker 1: in that manner of speaking it say it was life

177
00:11:08,280 --> 00:11:14,560
Speaker 1: changing if I have put it in that context. But still, yes,

178
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: seft tissue is a real challenge. It's a challenge in

179
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: these athletes. It's always been, but it really seems to

180
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: be one today. But we've made a tremendous progress and

181
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,079
Speaker 1: the growth of how to treat them and how to

182
00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: get them ready to play. And it's just another tribute

183
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: when you look at these players and you see what

184
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:40,880
Speaker 1: they play through, what they play with, how they compensate

185
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:45,439
Speaker 1: for it, it's really you understand why the game is

186
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 1: as much about availability as it is ability. Jerry, A

187
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 1: terrible accident happened this week that we know about with

188
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,720
Speaker 1: the Raiders and Henry Ruggs out there in Las Vegas.

189
00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,079
Speaker 1: Can you tell us a little more about what kind

190
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: of options play years have in those in those moments,

191
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: what they can do, and what kind of decisions do

192
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: you have to make as an owner, and what kind

193
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: of conversations y'all have when something like this kind of

194
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: comes up. Well, first of all, I dare comment on

195
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 1: another person's or the team's persons accident if you will,

196
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: or situation. And one of the reasons you should is

197
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,440
Speaker 1: because you could blink and it could be right happening

198
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: to you. And I think that's life. It's so sad,

199
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: and I can't even begin to start where when you're

200
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: involved in a tragedy like that is starting with the

201
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 1: very victims themselves. But from the standpoint of the deal,

202
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: we've we had a player that years years ago, I

203
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: had a terrible accident and had to be incarcerated for

204
00:12:55,720 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: I think almost seven years with a automo be an accident,

205
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:07,720
Speaker 1: and those are just that's a tragedy, and that's that

206
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 1: world is dramatic. But that's a dramatic thing we obviously

207
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: as a society, or dealing with substance and driving a

208
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 1: lot more succinctly than we did when I was growing

209
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: up or when I was a kid, and so, and

210
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 1: it should be that way because those places can be

211
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 1: made in. Our society wants it as safe as it

212
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: can be. So again, that's all I've got to say

213
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,560
Speaker 1: about it. It's just I feel so bad for everybody involved,

214
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 1: including the all the way up through the people who

215
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: support and the Oakland Raiders. Now, we got a question

216
00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 1: on Twitter asking about who the best Cowboys defensive player

217
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: you've ever seen is and could Michael Parsons surpass that?

218
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: So I'm just curious. I know it's a tough question.

219
00:13:57,400 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 1: There's a lot of options. Who is the best cow

220
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: Boys defensive player you've ever seen? Well, I've seen I've

221
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 1: seen because I met him and I actually watched a

222
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:12,720
Speaker 1: lot of film on him. Bob Lily play by watching film,

223
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,880
Speaker 1: and I knew people that played against him, new people,

224
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: had a brother in law that had actually played against

225
00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 1: Bob Lily, and so he's been a lot of circles

226
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 1: thought to be the best defensive lineman that has played.

227
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: That's saying a lot, and we all know those are

228
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:36,440
Speaker 1: really headed for a question. The minute you make a

229
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: comparison like that, but we've been around some outstanding once.

230
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: I will tell you that as accomplished or unique a

231
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: player as I have seen was Charles Haley and the

232
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: way he approached the game and how he had the

233
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: impact he made from his position in the defensive line.

234
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:02,200
Speaker 1: But Randy White has to be mentioned. And again, I

235
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: think your question probably more on the play on the

236
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 1: teams that I've been involved directly in. But you know,

237
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:18,640
Speaker 1: we had We've had some guys that I thought were

238
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 1: great players, but one might say, well, but they didn't

239
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:29,080
Speaker 1: have the impact of a Donald. Well, Donald is one

240
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: that wouldn't be a part of the Cowboys. That I

241
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: would have to say is about his impactful a player,

242
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,680
Speaker 1: and he was when he came out, he looked like

243
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: he could do that. It didn't make sense because of

244
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: his size. Yet he has been disruptive his entire career.

245
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 1: So that's one that jumps to my mind and is

246
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:50,920
Speaker 1: still active and on the front of my mind. Awesome

247
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: answer right there. Appreciate it very much. And I just

248
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: one more thing for you is we talked about how

249
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:59,280
Speaker 1: amazing it's been in Charlotte has spearheaded these efforts, got

250
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: more than one hundred sixteen million dollars already getting going

251
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: from the Medal of Honor Museum Foundation. I was curious,

252
00:16:05,920 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: do you all have any fund raising tips for us?

253
00:16:09,200 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: We have a charity show we're going to do fourteen

254
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,840
Speaker 1: straight hours of radio the day before Thanksgiving. Do you

255
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: have any advice for us to help raise money in

256
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: cool things to donate? I have praise for you, I

257
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 1: really do. I think there's that it is the way

258
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: to serve. When you have visibility and you have celebrity,

259
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: then I think it is a great way to serve.

260
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: Incumbent upon you to use that unique position to have

261
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,440
Speaker 1: interested people, make them aware and if you can motivate

262
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 1: them to give. We certainly live in a society that

263
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 1: has always said help your brother and sister. We've always

264
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: felt that way, and that's a fundamental part of being

265
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,520
Speaker 1: a human being. And you guys, with such effort that

266
00:17:03,600 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 1: you're talking about making like that raised to the front.

267
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 1: I will tell you the most important thing about being

268
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: involved with the Dallas Cowboys that apart from just the

269
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: move over from the competitive part and wanting to win,

270
00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,199
Speaker 1: the most important thing that we have done was the

271
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 1: work that the Cowboys have done with the Salvation Army.

272
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:29,680
Speaker 1: No matter where I go in this country, I'll have

273
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: as many people walk up and say thanks for the

274
00:17:32,320 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: Salvation Army as I do go Cowboys, and that happens

275
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:38,360
Speaker 1: every time you step out. My point to you is

276
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 1: that that's the best use of this visibility, in this

277
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: talent to basically use those millions and millions and will

278
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 1: go to seventy eighty million people on Thanksgiving weekend talking

279
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,320
Speaker 1: about what the Salvation Army and Red Kettle is and

280
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: that has incrementally raised almost three billion dollars over the

281
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: last twenty years. No, it can be impactful. We don't

282
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: realize sometimes just how many people are listening or watching.

283
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: So we have a target then of three billion dollars

284
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: to get to this week and by that time, Jerry,

285
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:15,119
Speaker 1: the thank you. We really appreciate that target. There, you

286
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: bet guy as well. Listen, I will say this, if

287
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,480
Speaker 1: it's a dollar, it was worth it, and I'll thank

288
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 1: you for everybody else for your time and effort. There.

289
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 1: That's the way to go. Awesome. Thank you so much, Jerry. Okay,
