1
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.

2
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 2: So Michael Verie Show is on the air.

3
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:18,239
Speaker 3: That American dream is slipping away. I don't have to

4
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 3: tell you that you're feeling your lives. You see it

5
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,880
Speaker 3: in your shrinking wages, in the cost of everything from

6
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:32,200
Speaker 3: groceries to healthcare, to college, to filling up your car

7
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,919
Speaker 3: at the gas station. It keeps going up, been up

8
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 3: and up, and the future keeps receiving further and further

9
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 3: and further away.

10
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,519
Speaker 1: That really speaks to a lot of pessimism here about

11
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 1: the American dream.

12
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 2: How it feels like it's out of region.

13
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,279
Speaker 4: You know, home ownership for too many people in our

14
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,480
Speaker 4: country now is elusive. You know, gone is the day

15
00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 4: of everyone thinking they could actually live the American dream.

16
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 5: I'm here today with a message of hope for all Americans.

00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 5: the American Dream.

00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:07,280

Speaker 5: We're winning by a lot, We're leading by a lot.

24
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 5: We're leading in the polls. Every single state looks like

25
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:32,959
Speaker 5: we're doing you and with your supporter November fifth, America

26

00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 5: ever before.

28
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:39,560

Speaker 2: Help you care for those who abandoned hope.

32
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 3: We'll restore hope, and we'll welcome them into a great

33
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,559
Speaker 3: national crusade to make America great again.

34
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 5: That's why I'm here today, That's why I'm standing before you,

35
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 5: because we are going to finish what we started. We

36
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 5: started something that was America.

37
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 2: We're going to complete the mission.

38
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 5: We're going to see this battle through to ultimate victory.

39
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 5: We're going to make America great again.

40
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 2: No ined, somebody still.

41
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 5: This election is a choice between whether we will have

42
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 5: a four I think of this four more years, could

43
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:37,440
Speaker 5: you stand.

44
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:46,360
Speaker 7: It's four more years of incompetence, stupidity, and failure and disaster,

45
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 7: or whether we will begin the four greatest years in

46
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 7: the history of our country.

47
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 3: I think we have a real chair make America great again.

48
00:02:54,680 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 5: And quite simply put, we will very quickly make America

49
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 5: great again.

50
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 2: I was scrolling this weekend. I needed a little break

51
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 2: from politics, and there weren't any football games on, so

52
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:33,040
Speaker 2: I started scrolling through Prime, then Netflix, and there was

53
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 2: a I don't do real well with fiction. I'm more

54
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 2: of a documentary guy, And so there was one that

55
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 2: it was fiction, but I listened to the little pitch,

56
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 2: you know, they give you a little pitch on it

57
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 2: when you scroll over in thirty seconds or a minute

58
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 2: or whatever it is. And it was about a doctor

59
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 2: who had taken over a broken medical institution in New

60
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 2: York City. I think it was called Amsterdam or New Amsterdam.

61
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:11,480
Speaker 2: It's not important. But the doctor is standing in front

62
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 2: of the staff there and he says something to the

63
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 2: effect of, we're going to make this place great again,

64
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 2: and we're going to solve your problems. What are your pros?

65
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 2: How can I help you heal patients? And so some

66
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 2: guy says, I don't remember what it was, oh oh, oh,

67
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 2: I know. A woman screams out no waiting rooms, and

68
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 2: he says, why no waiting rooms? She said, I want

69
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 2: the patients to come in and go straight to a

70
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 2: room to be seen. And he said done, no waiting rooms,

71
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 2: and everybody looks around. He didn't have a committee, he

72
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: didn't very trump verdecisive. Then the next guy, who like

73
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 2: he could stand to eat health food, said we want

74
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 2: health or I want health food and said, what do

75
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 2: you mean, and he said, I want healthy food in

76
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 2: the cafeteria. Well, if you haven't been in the hospital lately,

77
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 2: that might not mean anything to you. But I've spent

78
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 2: a lot of time in the last five years in

79
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 2: Beaumont and Houston hospitals, a lot of time, more time

80
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 2: than you would imagine. Many is the day I have

81
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,799
Speaker 2: come into the studio and I've been at the hospital

82
00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 2: till two o'clock the night before and spent a lot

83
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:46,800
Speaker 2: of time there, and I'm just beat. Absolutely, Probably why

84
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 2: I was so crank. That's my excuse for why I

85
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 2: was so cranky. I mean, that's my excuse. Okay, you know,

86
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 2: first it was my dad, and that it was my mom.

87
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 2: Then it was the overlap, and then my mom just

88
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 2: just went down hill over a long period of time,

89
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:03,080
Speaker 2: and it was it was it was rough. She had, Uh,

90
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 2: she had great doctors, and I had a great experience.

91
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 2: I will tell you that with the Houston Hospitals and

92
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:15,040
Speaker 2: doctors Tim Connolly, the lung doctor, and Stan Dukman, the cardiologist.

93
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 2: They did a wonderful job for her. Did They did

94
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 2: the best they could possibly do anyway, and uh, what's

95
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,600
Speaker 2: the other guy's name, the hip doctor she had her

96
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 2: hips replaced a couple of years ago. What was his name.

97
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 2: I'll tell you in the seconds. That fonder, noorthopedic, great guy. Anyway, Yeah,

98
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 2: it was always interesting to me that you're at a

99
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 2: hospital and the only thing really available to eat is

100
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 2: a McDonald's downstairs. Now, I know we all love McDonald's

101
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 2: because of the fries and all that, but I try

102
00:06:52,520 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 2: not to eat fast food very often. And I don't

103
00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:58,040
Speaker 2: know if you've ever noticed, but in hospitals, everybody's fat,

104
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 2: especially the nurses there all fat. Now, part of that

105
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:04,799
Speaker 2: is the type of person who makes a good nurse

106
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 2: is a caretaker, and caretaker personalities are always fat because

107
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 2: they don't they don't take any pains for themselves, they

108
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 2: don't work out, they don't worry about what that. They

109
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 2: just tend to other people. It's a ministry. You're born

110
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 2: that way. It's a countenance, a disposition, it's it's who

111
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 2: you are. And God bless them, Thank God for them,

112
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 2: because I can't imagine going to bed at night, or

113
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 2: for those of that work the night shift, going to

114
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 2: bed in the morning knowing I'm going to get up

115
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 2: six seven, eight hours later and go change bedpans and

116
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,960
Speaker 2: clean vomit. I mean, knowing I had to do that tomorrow.

117
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 2: You know, if somebody's sick in my house, I know

118
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 2: that we're going to get through this and then we'll

119
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 2: be back to normal. But when that is your job,

120
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 2: I just I don't know how you do that. I

121
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 2: don't know how you do that. My friend Mike Silva

122
00:07:57,320 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 2: the glass Man, says, we will be attending a prayer

123
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 2: service for our nation tonight at Saint Joseph Catholic Church

124
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 2: in Houston. I believe many other parishes are doing the

125
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 2: same here and across our country. It is important that

126
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 2: voters vote their conscience. I agree with that. I agree

127
00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 2: with that. Seven one three nine nine, one thousand, seven

128
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 2: one thousand. We'll take some calls here. In just a moment,

129
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 2: I thought I had that ready but to go, but

130
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 2: I don't. All right, hang tight outro music, Maestro, play it. Oh.

131
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 2: Came in a little late on that. If I don't

132
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 2: want you to come in, you come in hot and

133
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 2: interrupt my conversation. If I do want you, do you

134
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 2: just there and look at you.

135
00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,840
Speaker 8: Conconell always dies.

136
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,080
Speaker 6: The Michael Berry just put her.

137
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 8: Head down and she went to work.

138
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 9: Governor, you previously opposed an assault weapons van, but it's

139
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 9: only later in your political career did you change your position. Why.

140
00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 10: I become friends with school shooters. That's what I've said.

141
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 10: I become friends with school shooters. I'm a knucklehead at times.

142
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 10: I've become friends with school shooters. Those same people elected

143
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 10: me to Congress for twelve years. I've become friends with

144
00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 10: school shooters, and I'm proud of that service. I've become

145
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 10: friends with school shooters, and I think that's a healthy conversation.

146
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 10: I've become friends with school shooters. I've become friends with

147
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 10: school shooters. I've become friends with school shooters. I've become

148
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 10: friends with school shooters. They've become friends with school shooters.

149
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 10: They've become friends with school shooters.

150
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 2: I didn't finish my story, as I often don't. About

151
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 2: that TV show, I'm told that it is called New Amsterdam.

152
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 2: So the guy says we want healthy food, and the

153
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 2: fellow down in the front, who's answering the questions, who's

154
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,800
Speaker 2: offering to bring change to the hospital, ask for more details,

155
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:46,559
Speaker 2: and he says, there's no healthy food here. The food

156
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,920
Speaker 2: is awful and we're here for long hours. So he

157
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:55,960
Speaker 2: said done, we'll have healthy food and everybody. There's just

158
00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 2: if you've ever hated someone and then you found out

159
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 2: that the thing you hated them over it didn't really do,

160
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 2: or you found out that they were sorry, whatever happened,

161
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 2: and you ever you ever get that feeling, It really

162
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 2: is like a physical It's like you were you were,

163
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 2: you were shackled and it's taken off. It just floats

164
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 2: off of you. Something that you know you're going in

165
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 2: for an interview, or you're going in to meet you

166
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 2: know what could be your biggest deal, or you're gonna

167
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 2: have to give a speech, and then it turns out

168
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 2: it wasn't really a speech. It was a round table

169
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 2: and you never even had to speak. And then that

170
00:11:43,400 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 2: deal's over and you're just like, ah, there's just a

171
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 2: sigh it it you physically feel better, like losing one

172
00:11:55,080 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 2: hundred pounds just in a moment. It's just gone. So

173
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:05,959
Speaker 2: many problems, so many things that cause so much angst

174
00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:14,439
Speaker 2: and frustration, resentment that could just be fixed. And the problem,

175
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 2: especially with organizations like a hospital system or a university,

176
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 2: or a public school or a public company, is that

177
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,240
Speaker 2: weak people, and there's a certain type of people who

178
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:34,120
Speaker 2: does this. Weak people cannot make decisions. This is important

179
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,920
Speaker 2: to understand. Weak people do not have the confidence to

180
00:12:39,080 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 2: make decisions, and they don't like people who do. They

181
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 2: view people who make decisions as shoot from the hip, reckless,

182
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:57,720
Speaker 2: dangerous people. They prefer paralysis by analysis, and they prefer

183
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 2: to make problems far more complicated than they actually are

184
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 2: by distributing and eventually eliminating the accountability for decision making.

185
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:16,920
Speaker 2: So what they do is they create committees, and the

186
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 2: creation of the committee this is this is Harris County government,

187
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 2: and this is this is most organizations. Hey there's a

188
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 2: big problem. We got a big problem here. Everybody knows

189
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 2: it's a big problem. Okay, we're going to appoint a committee,

190
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,400
Speaker 2: and there's publicity around the committee. And you know what

191
00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:45,040
Speaker 2: it does. It buys time because nothing has to be

192
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:49,480
Speaker 2: done now, and whoever is most bothered by the problem

193
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,320
Speaker 2: now they get a chance to have their say with

194
00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 2: the committee. But first, let the committee get gathered. Let's

195
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 2: pay you know, a jury foreman, let's pick all our titles.

196
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 2: Let's waste a bunch of time on that. Then maybe

197
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 2: we'll take input from the public, or from the employees.

198
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 2: If it's at a company, the employees will all have

199
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 2: an opportunity to tell what the grievance is, and then

200
00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 2: the committee will meet some more than the committee might

201
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 2: have a subcommittee on the committee, and we'll study this

202
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 2: m effort to death, and then eventually we'll water down

203
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 2: what should be done or what often happens this is

204
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 2: a public company thing to do is the CEO leaves, retires,

205
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 2: moves on. The next guy comes in says, oh, let's

206
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 2: slow down on all that stuff. They put all of

207
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 2: their people in their half. The committee's gone, and things

208
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:53,479
Speaker 2: die by neglect. But the underlying problem never gets solved

209
00:14:55,240 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 2: because you don't have decisive people and you don't have

210
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:03,200
Speaker 2: a structure in your organzation that is a problem solving structure.

211
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,840
Speaker 2: You look at how many functions of where the rubber

212
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 2: hits the road that major corporations have to outsource, that

213
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 2: major corporations don't innovate any longer. Major corporations go looking

214
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 2: and they find a three person company in Salsby, Texas

215
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 2: or Hammond, Louisiana that is figuring out super conductivity or

216
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 2: that's figuring out you know, a frictionless process to do this,

217
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:42,400
Speaker 2: or a downhold fluid that is a fluid that will

218
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 2: you know withstand this and do this and do this.

219
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 2: That level of innovation is being done out of some

220
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 2: thousand square foot warehouse in a strip center of warehouse.

221
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:59,680
Speaker 2: It's a whole row of warehouses, and there'll be initials

222
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 2: on it. DT Investments or DT Engineering or whatever else.

223
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:12,359
Speaker 2: That's why folks our show sponsor Sparks Engineering, Spaarx Engineering.

224
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:17,120
Speaker 2: You get companies that are going and blowing. They're a

225
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 2: big company, they've been a big company for a long time,

226
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 2: but when they have an actual problem that needs to

227
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 2: be solved, they don't have the expertise in house to

228
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 2: do that. Because if you don't have the expertise, you

229
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 2: don't know how to go get the expertise, and often

230
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 2: you don't know that you need the expertise, So you

231
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 2: hire a bunch of other people like yourself, and before

232
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 2: you know it, you end up a company. And every

233
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 2: company has this danger. You end up a company full

234
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 2: of people with MBAs, not one of whom can actually

235
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,920
Speaker 2: do anything other than be a corporate employee, which means

236
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:02,800
Speaker 2: show up to work, go to meetings, sit through sexual harassment.

237
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 2: Sit through this, sit through this, sit through this, ensure

238
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 2: that everything we do is in full compliance. There's no innovation,

239
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:14,520
Speaker 2: no creativity, there's no vision. So that's why you have

240
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 2: to have these little companies. And that's why little companies

241
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,720
Speaker 2: are always being bought up by big companies in the

242
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 2: tech sphere. You look at how often Apple or Google

243
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:29,639
Speaker 2: is buying a smaller company, or Netflix for that matter,

244
00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 2: they're going out. We got to figure out how to

245
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 2: distribute this, We got to figure out how to code this.

246
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 2: And for the billions of dollars they have in payroll,

247
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 2: they don't have anybody that can figure out this, this

248
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 2: and this. But there's some little company out of a

249
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:51,840
Speaker 2: guy's garage in Bellevue or two hours from San fran

250
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 2: or an hour or in Smithville or a bass Drop,

251
00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,280
Speaker 2: and they'll just go in and buy that guy, him

252
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,359
Speaker 2: and his three partners, and they'll give him crazy money,

253
00:18:02,840 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 2: thirty million bucks, which is nothing to them, and then

254
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 2: they bring his technology in. And every time, because I

255
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 2: talk to these people, not every day, I talk to

256
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 2: these people a lot, they're excited, Oh I'm gonna get

257
00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 2: my cash. I'm gonna get thirty million bucks. Well, this

258
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 2: gonna be great. So they get their thirty million bucks

259
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,479
Speaker 2: and they got to work there for two years, and

260
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,200
Speaker 2: within two weeks they realized why that company could never

261
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 2: create what this guy created out on his own, because

262
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 2: there's no deciders. Trump is a decider and ninety nine

263
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 2: percent of people are not, and that's what scares them about.

264
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 8: From all the King of Ding and this other guy,

265
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 8: Michael Barry, this is the kind.

266
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:44,640
Speaker 2: Of guy you like to smacking as.

Speaker 1: Gow's come up? Col I loves going home. We're gonna

290
00:20:54,560 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 1: send her home. Trump twenty four.

291
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 2: That was filmed on somebody's phone on a cruise. Listeners

292
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 2: sent that as I get a lot of things of

293
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 2: the sorcerer. I don't actually know the guy's name, but

294
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 2: everyone was standing at rapt attention as he saying it.

295
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:23,199
Speaker 2: So I don't know if it was open to the

296
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,960
Speaker 2: public cruise or if it was a cruise of people

297
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,199
Speaker 2: that shared the same values. I don't know. But nobody

298
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 2: interrupted him or boot or anything else. That's why the

299
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 2: audio quality is not so good. So I spoke this

300
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:40,679
Speaker 2: morning to Karen Henry, who, along with Amy Huggins, is

301
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 2: involved with the making of the Fired Up to Vote

302
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 2: that I started the show with, and she has agreed

303
00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 2: to come on the air and be subjected to all

304
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 2: sorts of awkward questions and otherwise impertinence. Is Karen.

305
00:21:56,720 --> 00:22:00,679
Speaker 11: Hid the two of you at the same time.

306
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 2: Yes, Oh that's always terrible.

307
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 6: We'll just be Huggins done too.

308
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:06,399
Speaker 11: What's that.

309
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 6: I said? It's Amy Huggins.

310
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:14,960
Speaker 2: As well as in Bow Huggins's wife. Yes, sir, I

311
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 2: adore your husband. I don't get to see him much anymore,

312
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:20,560
Speaker 2: but I used to back in the day. He has

313
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 2: the beer distributorship. Ramon, you want to be nice to him? Yeah,

314
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,680
Speaker 2: that's how you get free beer. Yes, nice to him,

315
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 2: you get free beer. Okay, him and Johnny Johnson when

316
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:31,680
Speaker 2: they called you picked up. That's just what you do.

317
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 2: Tell me about fired up to vote? Did y'all build that?

318
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 11: Yes, Amy Chill.

319
00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 6: Yes. We After the twenty twenty two election, we realized

320
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:46,720
Speaker 6: that we needed to get more people to the polls,

321
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:51,959
Speaker 6: and this summer we created a website and created a

322
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 6: portal so that friends can get their friends to vote

323
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 6: and know when their friends vote. Because the best way

324
00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:01,879
Speaker 6: to get somebody to vote, it's for somebody they know

325
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 6: and or respect to ask them to vote. So this

326
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:11,359
Speaker 6: lets people basically do what every politician asks their supporters

327
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,600
Speaker 6: to do, which is to get ten friends to the polls.

328
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 6: And this way you know if your friends actually vote,

329
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 6: because the county produces that information every day, which I'm

330
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 6: sure you know.

331
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I don't don't. Yes, I do, but that

332
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,959
Speaker 2: does not mean you shouldn't tell it. This is fantastic.

333
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 2: I love that you ladies did this. Can we talk

334
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 2: about your day job?

335
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 8: Yes?

336
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 11: Which one?

337
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:35,320

340
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:45,679
Speaker 11: but I managed the Houston office.

341
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 2: Well, I don't need to pitch, sweetheart. I'm on your

00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:16,960
Speaker 11: he develops our website too.

352
00:24:17,280 --> 00:24:19,879
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, it's all pretty women there. That's a

353
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 2: lot of pretty women under one under one roof.

354
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 11: Well, thank you for saying that. But they're smart, smart,

355
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 11: aggressive and very well uh trained, Let's put it that way.

356
00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 8: I know that.

357
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:35,200
Speaker 2: From the I can't know that from the photos. All

358
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,080
Speaker 2: I can see is and there's nothing wrong with being pretty.

359
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 11: We're good to think. So I like them all too.

360
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:47,720
Speaker 11: They're all great. I know you're kidding, b No, but

361
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 11: they are.

362
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 2: Even you two are beautiful. Everybody on there is beautiful. Question. So,

363
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,160
Speaker 2: so the goal in setting this up? Who funded this thing?

364
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:03,920
Speaker 6: We've got funding from quite a few just interested citizens

365
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 6: who want to increase voter robust voter participation basically in

366
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 6: all of our elections.

367
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:12,399
Speaker 2: All right, So I'm going to do. I wonder what

368
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,159
Speaker 2: a lot of hell listeners are going to do. And

369
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 2: I'm going to go to fired up to Vote dot com.

370
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:23,399
Speaker 2: And when I get there, because people want to Okay,

371
00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:26,680
Speaker 2: I didn't put the D in there, hold on fired

372
00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:31,560
Speaker 2: up to Vote. Okay, it's not letting me in there?

373
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 2: Do I guess? Do I need the www to start? Okay,

374
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 2: there we go. I don't need that, Okay, it's okay.

375
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 2: So I don't need that. I just go straight fired

376
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 2: up to Vote and peer to peer vote platform that

377
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 2: empowers people to do this and vision statement, mission statement,

378
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 2: how it works, Upload your list to your fired up

379
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,960
Speaker 2: to Vote account, so they create an account, and then

380
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,760
Speaker 2: the person I didn't get her authorisation to mention her

381
00:25:55,840 --> 00:25:57,199
Speaker 2: name on air, so I'm not going to. But the

382
00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 2: person who contacted you that I saw yesterday at lunch nineteen,

383
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,639
Speaker 2: she showed her list and so it went through and

384
00:26:04,680 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 2: it was a lot of people that are mutual friends

385
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 2: of ours. So she had uploaded up uploaded her list

386
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 2: of people like these are her friends. I guess she

387
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,199
Speaker 2: did one by one or her contacts or whatever, and

388
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,040
Speaker 2: then she could go through and see as they had voted,

389
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 2: which I think is just fantastic, and then from there,

390
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 2: I guess she contacted each one of them, and she

391
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 2: was telling me that in the last election, y'all had

392
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 2: something like seventy six percent of the people who ended

393
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 2: up being uploaded on the list ended up voting, which

394
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 2: is way higher than the general voting stats. Hold on

395
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 2: just a moment, Karen Henry and Amy Huggins. Their group

396
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 2: is THEPR group pr boutique dot com. It's you haven't

397
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 2: fired up to vote.

398
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 4: Dot com and I haven't been to ye.

399
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 9: Governor, you previously opposed an assault weapons ban, but it's

400
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,120
Speaker 9: only later in your political career did you change your position.

401
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:11,120
Speaker 10: Why I've become friends with school shooters.

402
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:15,360
Speaker 9: Oh my god.

403
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 10: There I become friends with school shooters. I've become friends

404
00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:35,840
Speaker 10: with school shooters there. There, there, I've become friends with

405
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:45,200
Speaker 10: school shooters. There, I become friends with school shooters.

406
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 11: There.

407
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 10: There, I've become friends with school shooters. There, I've become

408
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 10: friends with school shooters.

409
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,800
Speaker 2: We have to stop waiting on the Republican Party. You

410
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 2: have to stop waiting on Donald Trump. We have to

411
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,040
Speaker 2: stop waiting on the big donors. We have to stop

412
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:17,280
Speaker 2: waiting on other people to solve the problems. Self governance

413
00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 2: requires the self. It will always be people who step

414
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 2: in and fill the void. One of the highlights for me,

415
00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 2: one of the takeaways from this year's election is how

416
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:32,199
Speaker 2: many people have just had enough. They are fed up

417
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,119
Speaker 2: and they have engaged. They're people who are raising kids,

418
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 2: running a business, all the things that keep us busy

419
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 2: in life, and they have gotten involved. And this is

420
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 2: a great example. The website is Fired Up to Vote

421
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 2: dot com. Don't put the www in front of just

422
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,840
Speaker 2: put fired up to Vote dot com. Karen Henry and

423
00:28:51,920 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 2: Amy Huggins of the pr Boutique put this thing together.

424
00:28:58,480 --> 00:28:59,520
Speaker 2: When did this site go.

425
00:28:59,560 --> 00:29:05,800
Speaker 6: Live in June. We got it going at the end

426
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 6: of June, actually right. We had our website in June,

427
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 6: and then we had the portal working, which is for

428
00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:12,440
Speaker 6: how you create your account and get to put in

429
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 6: the names of your friends and colleagues and neighbors in July,

430
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:22,160
Speaker 6: and so we've been asking people to join since then,

431
00:29:22,200 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 6: and we hope people will join today so that we

432
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:29,080
Speaker 6: can get every common sense, conservative fundamentals of government voter

433
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,880
Speaker 6: in Harrison County to vote tomorrow because there are a

434
00:29:31,880 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 6: lot of them left.

435
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 2: I love it. I love that you are people in

436
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 2: a retail sort of retail went to professional service. But

437
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,280
Speaker 2: I love that you are people who are willing to

438
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:45,560
Speaker 2: put yourselves out there and say the good of the

439
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 2: country comes for us. If you don't like us, you

440
00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:49,600
Speaker 2: don't have to a lot of people that do what

441
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,320
Speaker 2: you do would hide from taking a stand, and I

442
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 2: think that's the reason for the decline in this country.

443
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 2: I really do, so a big applause for you on that.

444
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:02,240
Speaker 11: Could not agree with you more.

445
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:02,680
Speaker 2: Michael.

446
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 11: We have to do it, we have to read because

447
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 11: nobody else is doing it. There are people that do it,

448
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 11: but not to the degree that we're trying to do.

449
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: It.

450
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 11: I just want to let you know that there's a

451
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 11: lot of GOOTV get off the vote groups, So we

452
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:20,440
Speaker 11: had to come up with a name that was about

453
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 11: getting out the vote, but we couldn't use that name,

454
00:30:22,840 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 11: So that's all we came up with, fired Up to Vote.

455
00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 2: You know, the people I talked to, including the person

456
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 2: I saw at on Chesterday, they are not passively watching

457
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 2: this election. They are fired up. They have been awakened

458
00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 2: from their slumber. They are well aware, they are damn

459
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 2: near obsessed with We've got to fix this. We've got

460
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,880
Speaker 2: to fix the things in this country, and they have

461
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 2: to begin now. It cannot get any worse. And I

462
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 2: have to tell you it is a sleeping giant that

463
00:30:57,200 --> 00:31:00,920
Speaker 2: has been awakened, and that is the everyman, and especially

464
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 2: the every woman, because women will always do more in

465
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 2: campaigns than men. I learned that as a candidate. George

00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 2: Strake taught me that twenty four years ago, and it

467
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 2: has turned out to be true. Men will talk, women

468
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 2: will act. It's just true. But this is this is

469
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 2: very interesting. Do you have a sense of how many

470
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 2: people have already logged onto this and are using this,

471
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 2: and how you know the numbers of this.

472
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:29,520
Speaker 6: The seven hundred people have created accounts. Unfortunately, not all

473
00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 6: seven hundred people have added names, but hundreds of people

474
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 6: have added their lists of friends and are tracking with us.

475
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:43,479
Speaker 6: We are We have contacted through our group over two

476
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 6: hundred thousand voters in the Harris County area.

477
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:50,760
Speaker 2: That's incredible. So when someone creates their account and they

478
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 2: put in their list of people and it populates it

479
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:57,680
Speaker 2: with whether that person has voted or not, and then

480
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 2: and then from there, do they need to have their

481
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:04,240
Speaker 2: own contact information for that person, which presumably.

482
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 6: They would they have to, They do not put that

483
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 6: into our system. We don't have any contact information on

484
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 6: the people on your list that like you. If you

485
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 6: have your list of people, yeah, you have their phone

486
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,680
Speaker 6: number and you text them to remind them. We actually

487
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 6: provide template texts for people to send to their friends

488
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:26,200
Speaker 6: so that we put links of voting locations and how

489
00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:30,040
Speaker 6: to find your sample ballot and voting location hours, just

490
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:34,040
Speaker 6: to make it easy for people to tell their friends

491
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:35,920
Speaker 6: where to vote and when to vote.

492
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 2: Our mutual friend who I saw, showed me she scrolled down,

493
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,080
Speaker 2: I guess it's the emails you'll send out, and it

494
00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:50,959
Speaker 2: was it was you know it was a calendar of days,

495
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:52,960
Speaker 2: you know, on this day, do this, on this day,

496
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 2: do this, on this day, do this, And there was

497
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:59,080
Speaker 2: an election day text to send to your list, and

498
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:02,400
Speaker 2: I thought that was just that's just fantastic. I mean,

499
00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 2: it makes it so easy, you know. When someone asked

500
00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:07,600
Speaker 2: me for a letter of recommendation, which I don't like

501
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:10,200
Speaker 2: to do anymore because it's just too many people. But

502
00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 2: if I am going to do it, I will say,

503
00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 2: write me a draft, because if I have to sit

504
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 2: and come up with all this stuff and who to

505
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 2: send it to and all that, it makes it less

506
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 2: likely I'm going to do it. Or if you need

507
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 2: a letter for your Eagle Scout or whatever else, write

508
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:25,680
Speaker 2: me a draft and then I'll go in and make

509
00:33:25,720 --> 00:33:27,960
Speaker 2: it my own. But I love that y'all are sending

510
00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 2: out the templates. It's almost like y'all are good at

511
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:30,320
Speaker 2: what you do.

512
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 11: Who's were I'm in my car?

513
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 10: Yes?

514
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:44,640
Speaker 2: Is the door open? Or you don't have your seat?

515
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 11: No? I have it on. I hope y'all.

516
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 2: So no, I'm just kidding. I hope y'all get so

517
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 2: much business from this. I hope that businesses out there

518
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,719
Speaker 2: that would be a per fit for you go to

526

00:34:36,239 --> 00:34:39,439
Speaker 11: many There's like four or five women that are very

533
00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:43,200
Speaker 11: dedicated to crafting those templates that Amy was talking about

534
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:48,359
Speaker 11: that give all our users exactly the information they need

535
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 11: and they can kind of tailor it to what they

536
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:52,439
Speaker 11: want to say that It's like you said, you get
