1
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. Michael

2
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 1: Very Show is on the.

3
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 2: Air, said quote. The most important thing here is that

4
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 2: we have the important hero archetypes that we look up

5
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 2: to here. Jesus is a hero archetype. Superman is a

6
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 2: hero archetype. Real characters too. I could name it thousand

7
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 2: Rosa Parks throm in quote.

8
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 3: I can't head around this.

9
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,519
Speaker 4: I'll help you put a period of here where Jesus

10
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 4: is no question by faith.

11
00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 5: Wow, it's very hard to beat the market, but Dan

12
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 5: Crenshaw did somehow. He made a lot of traits, including

13
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 5: after getting classified briefings on COVID policy.

14
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 4: Sure, yeah, why not. Don't let us trade stocks. How

15
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:01,960
Speaker 4: about about we'll just keep whipping ourselves. How about we

16
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 4: don't make any money either about, like, just cut our paychecks.

17
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 4: I haven't got a pay raise since two thousand and eight,

18
00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 4: even a cola increase. Yeah, no, actually no, yeah, this

19
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 4: is a great idea. Let's make Congress a place where

20
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 4: only the millionaires can actually afford to do the job.

21
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: This is a wonderful idea. Let's just keep Let's just

22
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 1: keep doing that.

23
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 6: Donald Gavitt, it's always some member, right who like who

24
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 6: senses the populist energy, and then and then mirrors believing

25
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 6: that this is what's going to help me connect with

26
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 6: the people, because what do the people want?

27
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 1: Well, I mean they want an easy button.

28
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 4: All my problems will be solved if there's if there's

29
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 4: no stock trading, all my problems will be solved, if

30
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 4: there's term moments. Yeah, but if you think about it,

31
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 4: any of these things for five whole minutes, you know,

32
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 4: you might quickly come to a different conclusion.

33
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 7: Three years ago, we went down to the border and

34
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 7: pretty much all of the Texas delegation was there. Mike

35
00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 7: Johnson came from Alabama or from Louisiana. The southern state

36
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 7: congressional members came down to be with us, and we

37
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 7: interviewed ICE agents, We interviewed US Border Patrol, we interviewed

38
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 7: US Border Patrol, Union, we interviewed Ranchers. The only person

39
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 7: from the congressional delegation that was not there, Dan.

40
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: Earning the name I coined for him, Dan Cringeshaw, is

41
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 1: continuing to unravel, accelerated yesterday with allegations that he was

42
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: prohibited from traveling abroad with the Congressional delegation. They call

43
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: him a Codel Congressional delegation because of a scandal that

44
00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 1: occurred in Mexico, and the story goes that he was overserved.

45
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: Story goes that there were some things that were said

46
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: that were very troublesome to a lot of people involved,

47
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,440
Speaker 1: and that he toasted the remarks after they were said.

48
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: I don't want to say what that is just yet

49
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: until we have better clarity. This is a bombshell for

50
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: Crenshaw because it's drawing a lot of attention to a

51
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: lot of brushfires that have been out there that only

52
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: the people paying close attention have noted. Crenshaw's hope is

53
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 1: that a lot of people who are not the base

54
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:25,480
Speaker 1: show up and vote. This is the problem with the

55
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: Greg Abbott fight with the state Republican Party. Greg Abbot's

56
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: Secretary of State, Jane Nelson, is spending well over a

57
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: million dollars to fight the Republican Party to make sure

58
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 1: that Democrats can vote in our party's primary in March.

59
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: The Republican Party says, no, We're going to do what

60
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: a lot of people do and say only Republicans can

61
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 1: vote in our primary. This is how you get a

62
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: drunk dad, This is how you get rhinos we don't

63
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:56,240
Speaker 1: want this. It's the Republican Party, it's not the Democrat Party.

64
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: They can vote in their primary if they want, we

65
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: don't want it in ours. So Krinshaw is in real trouble.

66
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:10,920
Speaker 1: It was alleged, and it is being alleged rather broadly,

67
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: that his own Speaker of the House had to protect

68
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: him from people who wanted far worse consequences. And these

69
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,960
Speaker 1: are all Republicans, these are not Democrats on these trips,

70
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 1: in this particular effort, and apparently allegedly his drunkenness, which

71
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: is legendary, was causing further problems. This is a man,

72
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 1: I will remind you, who said earlier this year that

73
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: he would like to kill Tucker Carlson. Wow, okay, that's

74
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 1: a sitting number of Commerce of Congress. This is a

75
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: guy who didn't want anything done with our border with

76
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 1: Mexico but could not send enough money to Ukraine. And

77
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: anybody who didn't agree with him, well, then you're an idiot.

78
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 1: This is a guy who had has been alleged to

79
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: be the second most successful stock picker in all of Congress,

80
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: behind only Nancy Pelosi. Now you're in some company. And

81
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,599
Speaker 1: his argument has always been well I don't have that

82
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 1: much money. If you bet ten dollars on inside information,

83
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter the size of it, and he does

84
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: bet more than ten dollars. Seemingly. His argument is, I

85
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: don't have that much money yet, but a will and

86
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: when I do, then we can criticize you then because

87
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,559
Speaker 1: it's even bigger trades. There are a lot of people

88
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 1: that don't have much money and they don't trade on

89
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:50,160
Speaker 1: inside information. I don't believe Congress should be allowed to

90
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 1: trade stocks at all. You give up the veil of

91
00:06:55,200 --> 00:07:00,479
Speaker 1: normalcy when you enter Congress. There are some things. Part

92
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,599
Speaker 1: of having this access is you don't get to do.

93
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 1: We don't think anything of the fact that the military

94
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: doesn't allow members of the military to make public statements

95
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: without their approval, and the assumption is always, well, you

96
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: go into public life, that's what you do. We don't

97
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,600
Speaker 1: think anything of the fact that police officers can't respond

98
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: when they're criticized by activists. It has to go through

99
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: the department. Their personal ability and rights to speak out

100
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 1: are hindered, and we say, well, you're a cop, you

101
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,800
Speaker 1: don't get to so why do Why do we act

102
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 1: like a member of Congress is somehow afforded anything other

103
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: than that. Why would we allow people into Congress to

104
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,400
Speaker 1: get all this information as part of the governing process

105
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: and then run and trade stocks on it. That's ridiculous.

106
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: And then you heard the statement he made. He said, well,

107
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: if that's your biggest problem, is it? You know we're

108
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: trading stocks and you think that if we stop trading stocks,

109
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: your life's going to be better. Well, that doesn't say

110
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: that you didn't do it. You're criticizing your critics, and

111
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: that's what the public gets to do. A scathing dissent

112
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: in the redistricting case by Judge Jerry Smith. Things have

113
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 1: heated up. This case would be going before the Supreme Court.

114
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 2: Interesting times read on what would you do with a

115
00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,360
Speaker 2: brain if you had one? Bring it on, because there

116
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 2: is nothing here to Michael Berry show.

117
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 1: A poll recently came out in Dan Crenshaw's congressional district

118
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: and it showed Crenshaw in first place, Steve Toth in

119
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: second place. And then you have several other people who filed.

120
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: Each one of them had a percent or two as

121
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 1: I recall, and it might look like, oh, Crenshaw's winning,

122
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: And technically in the poll he received more votes than

123
00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: the others. He had just over less than fifty percent.

124
00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: These are Republican primary voters. When they call that, that's

125
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: how they set the list. This isn't Democrats. He had

126
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: fewer than half of the voters in his own base,

127
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: in his own party, saying they will vote for him

128
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: in a primary. Do you know why people call for

129
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 1: term limits because congressmen serve for so long? Do you

130
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:29,080
Speaker 1: know why they serve for so long because people always

131
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,880
Speaker 1: vote for their own congressman. Everyone wants term limits for

132
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:37,679
Speaker 1: someone else. A congressman in his own district, in his

133
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: own party, should be faring much better than fifty percent

134
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 1: of the voters, but he's not. It's one of those

135
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 1: things that when a team ends up now two and

136
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,839
Speaker 1: fifteen used to be two and fourteen, and you go, oh,

137
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,600
Speaker 1: I thought they were going to be good, but you

138
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 1: saw at the beginning of the season their quarterback goes

139
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:01,880
Speaker 1: down with an injury that I should have seen that

140
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: was going to be the problem. This is a big

141
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:08,839
Speaker 1: problem for Crinchshaw, and it should be. It should be.

142
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 1: He has done nothing but squander the goodwill that the

143
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 1: district gave him in sending him to Congress. He has

144
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: nothing He's done nothing but insult the district continuously and

145
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: anyone who dares question him. Sure, he can trade stocks

146
00:10:25,200 --> 00:10:26,880
Speaker 1: all day. I don't know how he got so good.

147
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: He must be really, really financially savvy, in addition to

148
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 1: being a member of Congress. Where'd that come from? And

149
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: Nancy Pelosi as well? So what is he doing? Isn't

150
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 1: there a consequence? But don't dare question him, He'll not

151
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: stand for it. But first we turn to the issue

152
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:51,720
Speaker 1: of the border. Dan Crenshaw was going to be involved

153
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: in the border because he's from Houston. You know, you'd

154
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:56,280
Speaker 1: think that would be a natural fit, right, and then

155
00:10:57,280 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: the only border he ended up being worried about was Ukraine.

156
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: He could not argue that we send more money to Ukraine.

157
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: Jiman soon to.

158
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 8: Right O Records. It's Dan Crenshaw's greatest tits featuring the

159
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 8: number one charting single going to the Border.

160
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,840
Speaker 3: Well, I'm going to the border, going to the border.

161
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,559
Speaker 1: I'm going to the border, the one in Ukraine, going

162
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 1: to the border, not the US border. Yeah, I'm going

163
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,640
Speaker 1: to the border, the one in Ukraine. So what are

164
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: you waiting for?

165
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 7: It?

166
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:26,719
Speaker 8: Come now and get you a copy of Dan Crenshaw's

167
00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 8: Greatest Tits, featuring thirteen different songs about why we need

168
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,839
Speaker 8: to send more money to Ukraine. Hurry, operators are standing by.

169
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: Then there was a town hall he had, well i'll

170
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: come back, I'll calm the locals down. I'll do a

171
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: town hall. And a young girl questioned Dan Crenshaw with

172
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: a quote about his faith. She questioned him about the

173
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: very words he had said. Now that's fair game. I

174
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: don't care who you are. And he got angry because

175
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: you don't question his faith. Well, if you make a

176
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:02,959
Speaker 1: statement about your faith, that is open. And she was

177
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: a young lady, I think she was seventeen, sixteen, seventeen,

178
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: And the people in attendance lost their mind. Thank goodness

179
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 1: it was recorded.

180
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 2: The most important thing here is that we have them

181
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 2: from Kiera archetypes that we wore out to.

182
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on, this islet me just say, this

183
00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 1: is her quoting what what?

184
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 3: What?

185
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 1: What was printed of what Dan Crenshaw said, So she's

186
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: quoting him verbatim.

187
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 2: The most important thing here is that we have them

188
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:29,920
Speaker 2: from Kiera archetype that we.

189
00:12:29,960 --> 00:12:30,440
Speaker 7: Will out to.

190
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 2: Jesus is a hero archetype. Superman is a hero archetype.

191
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,559
Speaker 2: Real characters too too. I could name it now Rosa

192
00:12:37,600 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 2: parks from a bretend quote. I can't head around this.

193
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 9: Well, I'll help you.

194
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: Put a period out here.

195
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 4: Word Jesus and don't question my faith.

196
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 1: Wow, I don't know right, you're moron, but.

197
00:12:55,520 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, you guys can't ask questions about all of these things,

198
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 4: and I will answer.

199
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:09,679
Speaker 1: Not but don't question my faith. Don't question my faith

200
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 1: even when I say that Jesus Christ is an archetype.

201
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 1: Just like Superman. Your faith is your faith, be Muslim

202
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,400
Speaker 1: for all anybody cares. But people get to ask about it.

203
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 1: And now Crenshaw was stripped of of his panel in Mexico.

204
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: It's like high school again. These people are going on

205
00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: so many international trips. He's not allowed to go on

206
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: international trips anymore because he got so drunk and belligerent.

207
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: That's the allegation. So we thought, in tribute to Dan

208
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,640
Speaker 1: Crenshaw yelling at a little girl about his faith, we'd

209
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: tell a story in song.

210
00:13:54,920 --> 00:14:00,599
Speaker 10: DC's been nice black ties and cocktail parties full of

211
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 10: Insta hoties.

212
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 1: I like to swalloby smell. I've only been home twice.

213
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 10: Once was a photo opportunity be a Monthgomery County Q

214
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 10: and a that didn't go so well. There was a bride,

215
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 10: young lady who had a problem with one of my

216
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 10: awesome bird bait.

217
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: Don't quotes question.

218
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 3: She acting like a baby who needs a bob.

219
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: I dressed that little Jules the girl down and I

220
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: told her she should know.

221
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 4: But a period after the word Jesus, and don't question

222
00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:37,640
Speaker 4: my faith.

223
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: Not to question my faith. Don't crush my faith.

224
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 3: Don't question my face.

225
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: Don't question my faith to faith the faith. Don't push

226
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: in my faith to faith to face, question my faith.

227
00:14:50,080 --> 00:14:53,400
Speaker 10: We used to be best the chums. We drank bourbon,

228
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 10: had some fun. We were two peas in a pod.

229
00:14:56,640 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: Don't custion my faith free.

230
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 10: Thing. He said about Greg Abbot where unberried made.

231
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 3: Me Maddy was a lightning rod. And so I made

232
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:15,040
Speaker 3: a story about advertising. I tried to faint my boy

233
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:19,240
Speaker 3: in a bad light. Uncle I said, I had the

234
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 3: text through my side, but bet ThReD upon the air,

235
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 3: and that is how I lost the fight.

236
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,840
Speaker 1: Didn't question my faith, don't question my faith. Didn't question

237
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: my faith. Don't question my faith the faith the faith.

238
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: Don't question my faith for faith to pay don't question

239
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: in my faith. Michael Barry, Sheila Jackson Lee was twice

240
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 1: named meanest member of Congress, and I used to make

241
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: the point, it'd be one thing if you were the

242
00:15:57,080 --> 00:16:01,560
Speaker 1: meanest member of the Houston delegation, even if you are

243
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:08,240
Speaker 1: the meanest member of the Texas delegation. But when you're

244
00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: number one at anything out of four hundred and thirty

245
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: five people, you're the valedictorian, a vicious to come in

246
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 1: first ahead of every other congressman. That's impressive if you

247
00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: think about it. You're beating out Maxine Waters, You're beating

248
00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 1: out all the ilhan Omars aoc, Jasmine Crockett, You're beating

249
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: out some people that have some serious anger management issues.

250
00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: And you do it twice something. You're not top five,

251
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: you are number one. So when Nancy Pelosi, the very powerful,

252
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: long time Speaker of the House, gets the number one,

253
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 1: stock returns because she walks out of meetings, presumably allegedly,

254
00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 1: it makes a phone call and a trade is made

255
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:12,360
Speaker 1: and a lot of money has made and she's become

256
00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:17,760
Speaker 1: wealthy off of it. We find that disgusting. There's a

257
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,840
Speaker 1: Pelosi tracker so that you can trade the way Pelosi does.

258
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: It also allows people to see what she's traded on,

259
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:30,000
Speaker 1: which strangely is related to what governmental actions are being taken.

260
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 1: Long before a law has passed or a budget bill

261
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:39,560
Speaker 1: is altered to affect the company. Long before that, there

262
00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: are briefings. There's information that hits Hey, we've got news

263
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: on a virus in China that is causing these sorts

264
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:56,360
Speaker 1: of problems in Wuhan. Or Hey, we're seeing an uprising

265
00:17:56,400 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: in this particular country, and we've asked Haliburton to increase

266
00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:10,200
Speaker 1: production of materials. Should we need to invade? What would

267
00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 1: that tip be worth? What's the stock going to do?

268
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: Or we're getting reports at this particular product. This manufacturer

269
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 1: is about to be sued and the product is causing

270
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 1: premature death to a very high degree. There's going to

271
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:31,959
Speaker 1: be a massive settlement. It may put this company out

272
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: of business. If you own that stock, what's it worth

273
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,359
Speaker 1: to you when the stock's at thirty eight and it's

274
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: going to go down to zero to get out of

275
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:46,280
Speaker 1: that stock. So when Dan Crenshaw comes in number two

276
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 1: and he's only been there a few sessions, boy he

277
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 1: really got up to speed, didn't he. Or he's ghost

278
00:18:54,640 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 1: about it brazen. He doesn't care when anybody thinks. And

279
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: you can hear that tone. Don't question me, girl. You

280
00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,960
Speaker 1: can hear that tone with anyone who dares ask him

281
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 1: a question. He is indignant, he's furious, he's imperious, he's angry.

282
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 1: Don't ask me a question. You don't get to all

283
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 1: you stupid people out there trying to question what I

284
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: do as a congressman. I know things that you don't.

285
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:33,640
Speaker 1: That tone that is dripping from everything he does, Well,

286
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,879
Speaker 1: here is how he answers to the question about insider trading,

287
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: which means trading stocks on information. You know, executives at

288
00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 1: companies are under very very strict regulation as to what

289
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 1: they can tell people outside the company, and they are

290
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:57,360
Speaker 1: on very very strict regulation on when they can sell

291
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,199
Speaker 1: their stocks. There is a window within which they can

292
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:04,879
Speaker 1: sell a stock after a major announcement, and the reason

293
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 1: is to prevent them obviously knowing that this is what

294
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 1: the stock's about to do. Good news stock goes up,

295
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: bad news stock goes down. To prevent them from trading

296
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: on that, we have strict sec regulations and they create

297
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:27,680
Speaker 1: windows within which they can trade. Very simple. You must

298
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: abide by them or it's a big no, no, it's criminal.

299
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 1: Martha Stewart went to prison for, in my opinion, far

300
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: less than what some members of Congress have done, far

301
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:45,119
Speaker 1: less one percent what they've done. She went to prison.

302
00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: So here is Dan Crenshaw losing his mind because you

303
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 1: don't get to ask him questions about what he does

304
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 1: with him. You know, John Bolton could potentially go to prison.

305
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: He's in the sling right now for doing what allegedly

306
00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: misappropriating national security information. People will often say to me, well,

307
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,959
Speaker 1: he didn't commit murder. What does that even mean? Nobody

308
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: says he did. But if you sell our secrets to

309
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:24,360
Speaker 1: the Chinese and enable an invasion, do we all sit

310
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: around learning Mandarin going well, leasy, didn't commit murder? This

311
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:34,680
Speaker 1: is a terrible, treacherous crime. You are entrusted with information

312
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: as a member of the government, and if you use

313
00:21:37,880 --> 00:21:41,159
Speaker 1: that information to trade. Maybe he didn't, Maybe he's just

314
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 1: a really, really really genius stock picker. Well i'll tell

315
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 1: you this. You won't ask him questions about it. You

316
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: don't get to ask him questions about it because he's

317
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:59,760
Speaker 1: Dan Crenshaw member of Congress and you're not listen pulling.

318
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 9: So that there is majority support. Eighty six percent of

319
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:06,719
Speaker 9: Americans support a ban on members of Congress trading stocks.

320
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,960
Speaker 9: You've been sort of ambivalent about something like that. I

321
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 9: did see that a bill did make its way out

322
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 9: of committee. Would you vote for a ban on Congress

323
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:17,400
Speaker 9: members trading stocks?

324
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 3: Yeah?

325
00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:21,200
Speaker 4: I mean this is like number one thousand on my

326
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 4: priority list of things to care about. This is one

327
00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:26,399
Speaker 4: of those stupid things that I've been dragged through the

328
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:29,040
Speaker 4: mud on. You know, money I've ever had in the

329
00:22:29,040 --> 00:22:31,880
Speaker 4: stock market about twenty thousand dollars, and I've been dragged

330
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 4: through the mud on this as if like there's some

331
00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 4: insider trading. I sent a I just send a letter

332
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 4: to Fox News demand, you know, a threatening letter from

333
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 4: my lawyers, threatening them with defamation because they because Jesse

334
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 4: Waters is basically insinuated that I was insider trading. Of

335
00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 4: course it's not true. You'd be more surprised how much

336
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 4: little we information we have. This is one of those

337
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 4: bills that like some of course, yeah, people support it, Yeah, sure, okay,

338
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 4: who cares? Because I don't have a probably if anything

339
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 4: in the market anyway. Are there a couple of cases

340
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 4: like in where in Nancy Pelosi has some very suspicious

341
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 4: timing of her trades. Yeah, that that has happened, but

342
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 4: nobody else can point any other examples out. So sure, yeah,

343
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 4: why not don't let us trade stocks? How about how

344
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,679
Speaker 4: about how about we'll just keep whipping ourselves. Let's how

345
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 4: about we don't make any money either, how about like

346
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:28,640
Speaker 4: just cut our paychecks. Haven't gotten a pay raise since

347
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:34,280
Speaker 4: two thousand and eight, even a cola increase. So yeah, no,

348
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 4: actually no, yeah, this is a great idea. Let's make

349
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 4: Congress point.

350
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:45,160
Speaker 1: Dan Crenshaw is making the argument that Congress isn't making

351
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 1: enough money. Dan Crenshaw is running for reelection, and he's

352
00:23:54,200 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: making the argument we're not paid enough. Can you imagine

353
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: you imagine making that argument to your constituents.

354
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 4: This is the Michael Berry Show, Locked and loaded.

355
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 3: Load it.

356
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 1: I want to play that clip in its entirety. I

357
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: want you to hear it, and then we will move on.

358
00:24:24,280 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 1: If people choose to vote for Dan Crenshaw, that's their

359
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 1: own business. But I think Steve Toth has a real

360
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: chance of winning that race because Toath is a small

361
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,480
Speaker 1: business owner in the district who has served as a

362
00:24:37,600 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 1: constitutional patriot in the state House and proven his chops,

363
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:46,959
Speaker 1: who doesn't have an arrogance toward the people of his district,

364
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,719
Speaker 1: like he thinks he's better than them, And who wouldn't

365
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: insult a teenage girl who asked a question about a

366
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 1: quote that came directly from his mouth. Hey, uh, I

367
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: want to kill all the mammals that are walking the earth,

368
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 1: mister Barry, I would like to read a quote from you.

369
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: I would like to kill all the mammals that are

370
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 1: walking in the earth. Don't question me and what I

371
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: want to do. Do you doubt that I shouldn't have

372
00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: to answer that? Well, but you said it. That doesn't

373
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 1: make any sense to me. Don't question my faith. You

374
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: offered that your faith wasn't a faith, that Jesus was

375
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 1: an archetype like Superman. I guess we should be greatful

376
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,280
Speaker 1: you didn't throw Batman in there, because then they'd be

377
00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:41,919
Speaker 1: robbing and all of those questions. What about the green lantern?

378
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 1: I always like the green lantern anyway. I just want

379
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 1: you to listen to the tone with which he answers

380
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:54,720
Speaker 1: the question A very legitimate question. Hey, why should members

381
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 1: of Congress be able to trade socks? Don't I don't

382
00:25:57,880 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 1: think that's asking too much shows that there is majority

383
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 1: of support.

384
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:05,440
Speaker 9: Eighty six percent of Americans support a ban on members

385
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 9: of Congress trading stocks. You've been sort of ambivalent about

386
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 9: something like that. I did see that a bill did

387
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 9: make its way out of committee. Would you vote for

388
00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:16,679
Speaker 9: a ban on Congress members trading stocks?

389
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:18,120
Speaker 7: Yeah?

390
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 4: I mean, this is like number one thousand on my

391
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:22,399
Speaker 4: priority list of things to care about. This is one

392
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 4: of those stupid things that I've been dragged through the

393
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:27,600
Speaker 4: mud on. You know, money I've ever had in the

394
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 4: stock market, about twenty thousand dollars, and I've been drag

395
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 4: through the mud on this as if like there's some

396
00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,520
Speaker 4: insider trading. I sent a I just sent a letter

397
00:26:34,600 --> 00:26:37,719
Speaker 4: to Fox News demanding, you know, a threatening letter from

398
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 4: my lawyers, threatening them with defamation because they because Jesse

399
00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 4: Waters have basically insinuated that I was insider trading.

400
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: Of course it's not true. You'd be more surprised how

401
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,200
Speaker 1: much little we in Volden Station we have.

402
00:26:50,320 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 10: This is.

403
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: Defamation is one of the hardest cases to prove.

404
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:00,679
Speaker 10: It is.

405
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: Fifty times harder in a public person. It is fifty

406
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,439
Speaker 1: times harder in a public person. And you must im

407
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: you must prove that they knew that what they were

408
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: saying was not true, and they knew that it would

409
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: harm you. First of all, good luck showing that Fox

410
00:27:25,400 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: News knows it isn't true. When your stock trading is

411
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: a subject of constant, constant conversation. How do they know

412
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 1: that isn't true? How would they know that isn't true? Listen,

413
00:27:41,880 --> 00:27:44,879
Speaker 1: go back for a moment, rewind a tape. Listen to

414
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:48,760
Speaker 1: how he stumbles. He's trying to make it seem like, yes,

415
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 1: I was walking through the garden of getsemine, and they

416
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,880
Speaker 1: hurled stones at me because I am a godlike man

417
00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 1: above it all, and one pierced to my toga. He

418
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 1: has this tone as if to say they dared question me.

419
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 1: And then I I I my lawyers. I told a

420
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: bunch of lawyers that I have just team of just

421
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: a Really I heard Trump say something about having lawyers,

422
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,159
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna do lawyer. I had my lawyers. My

423
00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:25,360
Speaker 1: lawyers sent a letter and said Fox News, you you're

424
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 1: gonna get in big trouble. I'm gonna tell Dad. I

425
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 1: told him my center. We how should I say it

426
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 1: so it sounds real? I sent letters. Letters. Letters were sent,

427
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: many letters, multiple letters, lots, lots and lots of letters

428
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: upon letters, letters about letters. There were letters about letters

429
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 1: with letters in the letters, and we told him, you're

430
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna be in big trouble for me for saying this.

431
00:28:54,600 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: But if you notice, his defense of whether or not

432
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 1: he was on inside information is not that he wasn't

433
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,720
Speaker 1: traded on inside information. It was I don't have much money.

434
00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: That's interesting. It's an interesting defense of whether you were

435
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 1: using information not available to the public to trade stocks

436
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,880
Speaker 1: and get great returns. Did you, in fact get very simple,

437
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:24,680
Speaker 1: did you in fact get great returns on your stocks?

438
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: That's a verifiable fact. That's not an opinion. That's not

439
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,800
Speaker 1: a slur, it's not a slander. Did you get great

440
00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 1: returns spoiler alert, Yes, phenomenal returns. If you were to

441
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 1: match Dan Krenshaw's returns, you'd fire your financial advisor because

442
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 1: he's one hell of a stock picker. How do you

443
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: get to be so good? It's almost as if he

444
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,320
Speaker 1: has inside information, because how else could you be so good?

445
00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,479
Speaker 1: That was always the argument against the astros. Well, if

446
00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:05,640
Speaker 1: they're not cheating, how they play so well? We are

447
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:09,680
Speaker 1: playing pretty well at that moment. So listen again, let's

448
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: do the whole clip, and I just want you to

449
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,560
Speaker 1: pay attention to the fact that he never answers the questions.

450
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: It's clear he loses confidence when he starts saying something

451
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 1: that I think is making it up, and that he

452
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 1: told you this isn't even important. Yeah, it kind of

453
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: is important. If members are of Congress are trading on

454
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: inside information, that is important. If it's number thousand on

455
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 1: your list, what's higher sending money to Ukraine, that's your problem.

456
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: That's how you're out of touch with your district, because

457
00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:40,520
Speaker 1: I guarantee you your district does care.

458
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 9: Polling shows that there is majority support. Eight six percent

459
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 9: of Americans support a ban on members of Congress trading stocks.

460
00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 9: You've been sort of ambivalent about something like that. I

461
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 9: did see that a bill didn't make its way out

462
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:56,560
Speaker 9: of committee. Would you vote for a ban on Congress

463
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:57,840
Speaker 9: members trading stocks?

464
00:30:59,080 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 3: Yeah?

465
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 4: This is like number one thousand on my priority list

466
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 4: of things to care about. This is one of those

467
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,560
Speaker 4: stupid things that I've been dragged through the mud on.

468
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:08,760
Speaker 4: You know how many money I've ever had in the

469
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 4: stock market, about twenty thousand dollars, and I've been dragged

470
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 4: through the mud on this as if like there's some

471
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 4: insider trading. I sent a I just sent a letter

472
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 4: to Fox News demand, you know, a threatening letter from

473
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:25,200
Speaker 4: my lawyers, threatening them with defamation because they because Jesse

474
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 4: Waters had basically insinuated that I was insider trading. Of

475
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 4: course it's not true. You'd be more surprised how much

476
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 4: little we information we have. This is one of those

477
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 4: bills that like some of course, yeah people support it. Yeah, sure, okay,

478
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,479
Speaker 4: who cares because I don't have any time probably if

479
00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 4: anything in the market anyway. Are there a couple of

480
00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:51,000
Speaker 4: cases like in wherein Nancy Pelosi has some very suspicious

481
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 4: timing of her trades. Yeah, that has happened, but nobody

482
00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 4: else can point any other examples out, So sure, yeah,

483
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 4: why not don't to trade stocks? How about how about

484
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:03,920
Speaker 4: we'll just keep whipping ourselves. How about we don't make

485
00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:07,320
Speaker 4: any money either, how about just cut our paychecks. Haven't

486
00:32:07,320 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 4: gotten a pay raise since two thousand and eight, even

487
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 4: a colon increase.

488
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 1: So yeah, actually no, yeah, this is a great idea.

489
00:32:15,480 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 4: Let's make Congress a place where only the millionaires can

490
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 4: actually afford to do the job.

491
00:32:20,040 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: This is a wonderful idea. Did you trade stocks on

492
00:32:31,280 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: inside information. I don't have that much money in the

493
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: stock market. I had a letter sent to Fox News.

494
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 1: You don't just want rich people in Congress, So you

00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: are you trying to get rich as a congressman? Did

496
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:51,760
Speaker 1: everybody else? Oh,
