Go ahead, sir. You're on the Michael Berry Show. 20 00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 5: Morning, Michael. So, yesterday you were talking about sea sections 21 00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,400 Speaker 5: and I just wanted to tell you what happened to 22 00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 5: us in the eighties. Our second child during childbirths and 23 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 5: the problem came up, and so they took her with 24 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 5: a c section and then pregnant again, and my wife 25 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,920 Speaker 5: didn't want a sea section because it was the recuperation time. 26 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,840 Speaker 5: But she went to a doctor who was a great doctor. 27 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 5: He said, well, you know, once a sea section, always 28 00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 5: a C section, and she said, wow, I don't really 29 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 5: want to go through that. So she started looking around 30 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 5: for doctors and she she couldn't find anybody that wouldn't 31 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 5: give her a sea section, I mean that would let 32 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,639 Speaker 5: her have it naturally. And so she ended up at 33 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:15,160 Speaker 5: Herman Hospital and she walked in and told the people 34 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 5: what she was doing and they said, oh, oh, you 35 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 5: need to see I forget the doctor's name, And so 36 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 5: she got an appointment with this doctor and he said, 37 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 5: we're trying to do a trial now to say that 38 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 5: after sea sections you can continue to have natural trialbirth. 39 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 5: And so my wife got in there. It was the 40 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:39,679 Speaker 5: greatest thing because they would bring and they would bring 41 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 5: all the little trainee doctors and everybody in there. She said, 42 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,639 Speaker 5: every time she went in for a checkup, she'd have 43 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 5: the best, the best of best in there looking at 44 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 5: her and everything. And sure enough, her child was born 45 00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 5: natural childbirth. And my wife bounced back from it real quick, 46 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 5: like she had done on the first one, and I 47 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:05,559 Speaker 5: just wanted to so first was so, first was natural conversation, First. 48 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 2: Was natural, second one C section third natural. Yes, that's 49 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 2: very interesting. That's kind of I'm no expert on it, 50 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,800 Speaker 2: but that's kind of what I'd always heard that once 51 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 2: you go was it C section or black, you'd never 52 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,240 Speaker 2: go back which one? Was it wrong? Big Jeff at 53 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 2: Trailer Will and Frame tells me that oil and gas 54 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 2: money is starting to come back into the store. The 55 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 2: oil and gas folks are starting to spend money on 56 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 2: capital expenses like trailers. At Trailer Will and Frame, I 57 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 2: asked my show sponsors, we have over eighty of them, 58 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 2: to tell me how business is going and who's spending money, 59 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 2: who's coming in, who, what are they buying. I'm not 60 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 2: asking you to violate any you know, privacy of your 61 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 2: customers or anything like that, but this is this is 62 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 2: one of the ways I find out what's going on, 63 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 2: at least in the Houston economy. Michael Petri, my trainer, 64 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,839 Speaker 2: sends me a message this morning. A small business hired 65 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 2: us to come to the office to train six employees. 66 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 2: We will teach all six how to safely train and 67 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 2: they're hoping that this builds a team camaraderie. It's in 68 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 2: Southeast Houston a company called doc to e file. They 69 00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 2: convert paper and film documents to digital and sell software 70 00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:29,720 Speaker 2: to manage the digital records. By the way, I got 71 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:33,440 Speaker 2: a message from my buddy Donnie that he is a 72 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 2: cursive translator. The National Archive Project has a citizen Archive 73 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 2: project where you sign up and you take documents that 74 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:53,279 Speaker 2: are cursive in American history and you translate them into print. 75 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:58,120 Speaker 2: You write them out in our traditional printed script so 76 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 2: that those documents can be preserved. He said, I absolutely 77 00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 2: love doing it. I'll put a link to that in 78 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,960 Speaker 2: the Daily Blast today. If you go to Michael Berryshow 79 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 2: dot com and sign up for the Daily Blast, Kunda 80 00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,919 Speaker 2: will put a link to how to sign up for 81 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:16,760 Speaker 2: that if you retired or just have interest in that, 82 00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 2: or just want to read cursive and make sure to 83 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 2: preserve those documents. That was pretty cool, Mike, you're on 84 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 2: the Michael Berry Show. 85 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 4: Go ahead, Okay, Two things real quick, somewhat related. When 86 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,360 Speaker 4: I was in school, we were looking at history, and 87 00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 4: in the early seventeen hundreds, when the printing press, you know, 88 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 4: came out a little earlier, they would put a news, 89 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 4: a one page newspaper up in the town square once 90 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 4: a week, and the academics would converse with each other 91 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 4: that way, and there was a serious long term discussion 92 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 4: going on from you know, week to week to week 93 00:05:56,360 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 4: tw weeek on the value of standard spelling in the 94 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 4: English language. Imagine cursive. With no standardized spelling, you got 95 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 4: no chance. 96 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 2: Okay. 97 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 3: Two. 98 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 4: The reason cursive was developed, I've been told, is that 99 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 4: the quill pens would often blot where you first put 100 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 4: the pin down. Yeah, and when you first picked it 101 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 4: up you would use it kind of link as many 102 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 4: letters to get yes that have you heard that too? 103 00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:31,640 Speaker 2: I have read that. I follow a podcast called the 104 00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 2: History of English uh, and there's a couple other podcasts 105 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 2: that I follow it that go pretty deep in that. 106 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 2: But but hold on, Mike, I think that's important for 107 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 2: people to understand. My understanding is that one of the 108 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 2: beliefs as to why cursive came about. Mike said it well, 109 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 2: is you put the quill into your ink bottle, and 110 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 2: when you pull it out, if it clotted and you 111 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 2: had a bigger clump of ink than you needed, you 112 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 2: were simply spreading it around by linking one letter to 113 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:05,320 Speaker 2: the next like a Neon light machine. You you would you, 114 00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 2: and so that that developed. That was there a number 115 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 2: three because I wanted to speak to what you just said. 116 00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 4: No, the only thing I was going to add is 117 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 4: I've been to Montcello and seen that device that Jefferson 118 00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 4: used to write two letters at the same time. It 119 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,239 Speaker 4: really had to slow him down. 120 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 3: Though. 121 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 2: Yes it looked fragile. Yes, it looked fragile. 122 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:29,640 Speaker 4: So I don't know how effective it was. 123 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, he's brilliant. You're absolutely right, you know, 124 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 2: because it wasn't mechanized, it wasn't a machine shop making it. 125 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,679 Speaker 2: You're you're absolutely right. It's held together by what looks 126 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,920 Speaker 2: like a thread. The dumb waiter was pretty impressive that 127 00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:47,480 Speaker 2: he had as well. I forgot what I was gonna say. 128 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 2: Uh oh, you know. It's it's interesting to me how 129 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 2: people will email me and say that's not the right word, 130 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 2: or that's not the right spelling, And I wonder if 131 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 2: they understand that we've only spelled that word for in 132 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 2: some cases fifty years or maybe one hundred. That word 133 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,880 Speaker 2: comes from the Middle English or the Old English or 134 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 2: the French. And do you understand it. For three hundred 135 00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 2: years it was spelled this way, and this one guy 136 00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 2: who turned out to be a drunk, he spelled it this. 137 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,680 Speaker 2: There is no right or wrong with all this, and 138 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 2: these people they need some certainty in life. You're gonna die, okay. 139 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,800 Speaker 2: Everything that is your neurosis is related to not wanting 140 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 2: to an email. A fella this morning said, hey, did 141 00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 2: you ever find a chimney sweep, chimney repair, chimney installation company? 142 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 2: Because I got a leak in my chimney. And that's 143 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 2: not a euphemism, moon, I know it sounds like it is, 144 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:52,800 Speaker 2: And the answer is no, I didn't. I gave that 145 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:54,760 Speaker 2: to Robert Rees and he made a run at it. 146 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 2: And I think part of it is it's a hard 147 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:03,080 Speaker 2: category to monetize. When we needed a siding company, Allied 148 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 2: Siding Windows, they've got to throw everything they've got at 149 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 2: our listeners because our listeners all need siding, and they 150 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 2: all need windows, and they all need roofs, and you know, 151 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:22,679 Speaker 2: so when somebody needs jewelry. Buddy of mine lives three 152 00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 2: hours northeast of Houston, and he sent me a message 153 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 2: the other day a picture of him at Corey diamonds, 154 00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:31,720 Speaker 2: so he needed jewelry. He drove past probably five jewelry 155 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:35,800 Speaker 2: stores to drive to Friendswood to do business with Connie 156 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 2: and Billy, so he had a good experience. They had 157 00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:46,760 Speaker 2: a good experience. They made money off the deal. He 158 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,800 Speaker 2: was happy he did it because he got exactly what 159 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:51,400 Speaker 2: he wanted and he felt good about it, and he 160 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,120 Speaker 2: dealt with people he liked. And as a result, they 161 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 2: pay our company to continue to sponsor our show, and 162 00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 2: we get to do what we do here. And I 163 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:00,880 Speaker 2: don't know if you notice. That's why they keep expanding 164 00:10:00,920 --> 00:10:04,559 Speaker 2: our show is because we provide results for listeners, because 165 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:08,959 Speaker 2: you provide the results for listeners. By the way, yesterday 166 00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 2: we were talking about somebody being Jewish. I don't remember why. 167 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 2: I asked the guy if he was Jewish. Remember he 168 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 2: said non from Missouri. I said, well, what is it. 169 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,640 Speaker 2: That's a weird answer, isn't it. I like to put 170 00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 2: people under stretch. You just never know what kind of 171 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 2: goofy stuff they'll say in response. But anyway, oh, I 172 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 2: hadn't mentioned Saint Louis on the show in years. I 173 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 2: think I think Jim Mutz from Saint Louis. And then 174 00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 2: yesterday afternoon, we get an emails that's how you're going 175 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,880 Speaker 2: on in Saint Louis. Just out of nowhere, you're going 176 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 2: on in Saint Louis. Who knew? All right, let's go 177 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,959 Speaker 2: to John, John, you're on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead. 178 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:55,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, So yesterday I'm driving down scenic Washington Avenue eastbound 179 00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:01,479 Speaker 1: and uh and it's imploded. I might add from Memorial 180 00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 1: Park area down to Shepherd it's imploded on both sides, 181 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:13,080 Speaker 1: down to one lane. So anyway, so at the corner 182 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 1: there's an individual wearing a sandwich board and he's, you know, 183 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:31,600 Speaker 1: advertising for a company that will put cannabis inside your 184 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:39,600 Speaker 1: dockory so you can drive down the imploded Washington Avenue wasted. 185 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 1: I So you wonder why drivers in Houston are so bad. 186 00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 2: There you have it, John, how old are you? 187 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 1: I'm seventy. 188 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 2: Okay, Well, let me just tell you. First of all, 189 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:06,080 Speaker 2: I reject wholeheartedly and always will, the idea that it 190 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:10,160 Speaker 2: should be the role of the government to tell people 191 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:14,439 Speaker 2: what dangerous activities they can undertake. Now, however dangerous you 192 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 2: think either alcohol, dackery or pot marijuana are, it is 193 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:24,719 Speaker 2: not the role of the government to decide what you do. 194 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:29,480 Speaker 2: And there are and I can't even win that argument 195 00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 2: because there's probably sixty percent of the population, particularly older people, 196 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 2: who say, but everybody'll be out drunk and dope duck Michaels, 197 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 2: they'll be seate up with the dope, they won't go 198 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 2: to work or nothing, and the whole country will fall apart. Well, 199 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 2: that's not true. Number One, in any government powerful enough 200 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 2: to keep you from doing this bad behavior, is powerful 201 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:55,160 Speaker 2: enough to keep you from doing that bad behavior that 202 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,520 Speaker 2: Oh you do want to do that over there? Oh well, 203 00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, but I've decided that that's a dangerous behavior 204 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 2: that I don't want and I want the government to 205 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,679 Speaker 2: stop you. So as long as the governments stopping everybody 206 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,200 Speaker 2: from doing everything. How many times have you heard somebody say, 207 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,280 Speaker 2: you know, they've set up a new park where you 208 00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 2: can drive tractors or drive heavy equipment. You do are 209 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 2: you doing something in the backyard? And they go, can 210 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,480 Speaker 2: they do that? And they say, I don't think it's illegal. 211 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 2: We are a nation a feared of a government telling 212 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 2: us we can't do anything because they're keeping us safe 213 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 2: and healthy and all. How's that worked out? But I 214 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 2: don't like the idea of putting restrictions on people. You go, well, 215 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:38,400 Speaker 2: they'll just drive down the road drunk and stoned, and 216 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 2: first time somebody does that, you throw the book at them. 217 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 2: People understand the risk driving baked or driving drunk or 218 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:52,200 Speaker 2: extremely dangerous behaviors, and if you have an accident, that's 219 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 2: an aggravating factor, and we're going to send you to prison. 220 00:13:54,760 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 2: This is really this is the downstream of what happens 221 00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:06,320 Speaker 2: upstream when you don't prosecute crimes. You're drunk, you blow hot, 222 00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,520 Speaker 2: you get in an accident. You better hope you don't 223 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,960 Speaker 2: get in an accident, and you've had too much to drink, 224 00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 2: because even if it's the other guy's fault, you're going 225 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 2: to jail for manslaughter. Okay, all right, I'll take that seriously. Okay. 226 00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 2: The other thing is you were told that marijuana was 227 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,440 Speaker 2: a terrible drug. You were told that, and you were 228 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:33,400 Speaker 2: told that by the liquor industry through the big government. 229 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 2: And the reason was marijuana was the drug that Mexicans took. 230 00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,880 Speaker 2: So what they used as an example to fire people 231 00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 2: up was in the town square of Santa Fe, the 232 00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 2: Mexican laborers would come in if nobody was the home 233 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 2: depot of the day, and if nobody hired them, they'd 234 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 2: lay up against the wall, stoned out of there. They'd 235 00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:58,800 Speaker 2: start smoking dope and they'd sit there until they passed 236 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 2: out in the town square and the nice white people 237 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 2: would walk in and go, augh, we got this nice 238 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 2: town with beautiful architecture in great weather. He got a 239 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 2: bunch of Mexicans laying around here. Well, I know how 240 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 2: we'll deal with that. We'll make their drug of choice, 241 00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:16,720 Speaker 2: which is not our drug of choice because we're good, 242 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 2: proper people that drink alcohol. We'll make that a crime 243 00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,400 Speaker 2: and throw them in jail. And that's what they did. 244 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,320 Speaker 2: And then you had an enterprising young deea director who 245 00:15:27,320 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 2: wanted to be the next j Edgar Hoover, who made 246 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 2: a refer madness movie that is so laughable it's amazing. 247 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 2: People took it for granted. But some people don't realize 248 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:40,120 Speaker 2: it was ever debunked. The myth that pot is horrible 249 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:44,040 Speaker 2: is ridiculous. But then again, there are people walking around 250 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 2: in this country that think the COVID shot worked or 251 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:50,640 Speaker 2: didn't kill people, or that OJ's innocent. I mean, it's 252 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:53,120 Speaker 2: only so much you can do. I feel sorry for 253 00:15:53,160 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 2: these people. I will tell you this. My brother, the 254 00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 2: longtime police officer, would tell me that if he was 255 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 2: king and he could choose between marijuana and alcohol, he'd 256 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 2: have people do marijuana instead of alcohol, because he never 257 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 2: showed up at a trailer to watch some guy beat 258 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 2: his girlfriend half to death under the influence of marijuana. 259 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:14,520 Speaker 2: And potheads stay home. They don't get out on the 260 00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 2: road and drive. And pot is not typically or as 261 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 2: consistently a social drug as alcohol is. But hey, that's 262 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 2: all right. We fund our government on alcohol taxes. Let's 263 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:26,760 Speaker 2: keep up with that. It's working out great. 264 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,720 Speaker 6: We fund your money, no matter whose fault it is. 265 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 4: The Michael Verie show your photo matters. 266 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:39,760 Speaker 2: Hunt Ramond, prepare yourself to receive. We've got to get 267 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:45,480 Speaker 2: some knowledge dropped on you. You ready. I got an 268 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 2: email from a lady named Karen North. She said I 269 00:16:56,720 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 2: had six V backs capital V capital capital A capital C. 270 00:17:01,840 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 2: Do you know what that is? Don't look it up yet. 271 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 2: I had six V backs after a C section from 272 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,560 Speaker 2: eighty six to ninety eight. It's not a big deal 273 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 2: with the right medical care. A V back, I had 274 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 2: to look it up, is a vaginal birth after cesarean, 275 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 2: meaning a person delivers their baby vaginally after a previous 276 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:32,080 Speaker 2: T section. You might be thinking to yourself, Yeah, but 277 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 2: what if I throw down v back and another person 278 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,000 Speaker 2: at the table knows what the word is, then I've 279 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,159 Speaker 2: lost the high ground. Okay. You may also refer to 280 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:44,439 Speaker 2: it as a tolac. That's when you deliver the baby 281 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,400 Speaker 2: through your foot. I'm just kidding. That is a trial 282 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,679 Speaker 2: of labor after cesarean. I don't like the word trial, 283 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 2: like I like my labor to be more kind of 284 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 2: you know, certain, you know what I mean. It is 285 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 2: sometimes refer to as a tolak trial of labor after 286 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:08,239 Speaker 2: cesarean if the attempt to deliver vaginally is successful. Like 287 00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:11,800 Speaker 2: they're being honest, Okay, you can, I mean, yeah, you 288 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:17,639 Speaker 2: win some, you lose some, you know. But she says 289 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 2: I had six v backs after a C section from 290 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 2: eighty six to ninety eight. Okay, so we know she's 291 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:28,680 Speaker 2: got at least seven kids, right, that's a tough woman. 292 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,840 Speaker 2: I get women get aggravated with me when I talk 293 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 2: about how tough a woman is to give birth. I 294 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:37,400 Speaker 2: don't know why. I don't know why y'all think that's 295 00:18:37,400 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 2: something you need to be quiet about. You should scream 296 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 2: that to the rooftops. You got the moral high ground. 297 00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 2: If a woman says, oh, sorry about your booboo, there 298 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,600 Speaker 2: you hamstring tour, you could have died. I gave birth 299 00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,399 Speaker 2: seven times. I go, I look around, make sure nobody's 300 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,119 Speaker 2: listening to ruin my you know image, and go, you 301 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,360 Speaker 2: damn tuting lady. You ought to be proud of that. 302 00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 2: It's not a big deal deal with the right medical care. 303 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 2: Our society is irrationally afraid of childbirth, as though it 304 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 2: weren't the most fundamental reason we were created. I like this, lady. 305 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 2: I believe we have a spirit to herod over our nation. 306 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,880 Speaker 2: The enemy wants to prevent life and has succeeded through abortion, 307 00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:26,000 Speaker 2: gender education, toxic femininity, femininity, and fear. Young women are 308 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,639 Speaker 2: taught that having children is a sacrifice that will steal 309 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:33,159 Speaker 2: their youth, freedom, happiness, and health. It's a spiritual battle 310 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,760 Speaker 2: we are losing. Ask yourself, why are they so passionate 311 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 2: about sterilizing our children. They always want to steal, keel 312 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:45,720 Speaker 2: and destroy. It's the root of all these evils. I 313 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:49,360 Speaker 2: like this, lady. See this is why I read my emails. 314 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,159 Speaker 2: This is why I read my emails sometimes I ask myself, 315 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:54,680 Speaker 2: why do you read your emails? Why do you beat 316 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,280 Speaker 2: yourself up? Because some people are idiots and it ruins 317 00:19:57,280 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 2: your mood. And this right here, because Karen or It 318 00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,000 Speaker 2: is a lady that if she was coming down to 319 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 2: the Tomato sauce ise and I was coming back, I 320 00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:08,920 Speaker 2: probably wouldn't give her a second look unless she had 321 00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:13,119 Speaker 2: open toad shoes and you know, Jankie feed or you 322 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,919 Speaker 2: know something weird about her. She just probably just another 323 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:20,719 Speaker 2: lady walking walking along. But then you listen to this 324 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,360 Speaker 2: lady and you go, man, she's got that ruddy spirit. 325 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 2: She's from strong Stock.

Eddie says that 330 00:20:42,440 --> 00:20:45,720 Speaker 2: I don't like people anymore. It's not true. Okay, it 331 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:49,720 Speaker 2: is true. I like my people. I just don't. I'm 332 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 2: going to tell you something. I've been out of events, 333 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:55,639 Speaker 2: a few more events than usual of late, and I 334 00:20:55,680 --> 00:21:00,160 Speaker 2: have noticed when you see crowds, you know, there's there's 335 00:21:00,200 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 2: these new studies coming out that are saying that testosterone 336 00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:07,680 Speaker 2: levels of teenage males today are lower than sixty one 337 00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:11,480 Speaker 2: of them was lower than sixty eight year olds. I 338 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 2: think that's in the food. I think that's in the culture. 339 00:21:16,480 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 2: I think that's in the training. You know, kids didn't 340 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,880 Speaker 2: wear a coonskin cap because there wasn't anything else to wear. 341 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 2: They wore a coonskin cap because Davy Crockett aka or 342 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,920 Speaker 2: as Fast Parker or Fast Parker as Davy Crockett. They 343 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,200 Speaker 2: wanted to be like Fast Parker. Right. You didn't buy 344 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 2: a charger because you want to charge. You want to 345 00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:38,400 Speaker 2: buy a charger because you wanted to put the Virginia 346 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:42,199 Speaker 2: battle flag on it and make it a general lee. 347 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 2: You didn't buy trans am because you needed a transam. 348 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 2: You bought a trans am because the bandit drove it. 349 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,640 Speaker 2: I saw a meme the other day that said, you're 350 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 2: telling me I can't that you're telling me that cigarette 351 00:21:55,800 --> 00:22:00,760 Speaker 2: companies can't put their logo on NASCAR viavehicles because it 352 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:04,960 Speaker 2: might lead me to smoke, But Drag Queen's Story hour 353 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 2: won't make me want to well. I think that we 354 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:13,680 Speaker 2: need to be very careful. Going back to what I saw. 355 00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 2: I see this even in people, maybe especially with people. 356 00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 2: I noticed a number of men with just a little bit, 357 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 2: just a little bit lighter than their loafers than they 358 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:26,560 Speaker 2: used to be. I notice men who are less what 359 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:30,879 Speaker 2: I would call traditionally manly. Now these are cultural traits. 360 00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 2: The friendship embodied them for a long time. But what 361 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 2: used to look like a Southern man with a certain 362 00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:40,960 Speaker 2: swagger and a look about him that you didn't pinch 363 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 2: his girl's butt or he'd beat you to death is gone, 364 00:22:44,440 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 2: largely gone. And I'm not just talking about muscle mass. 365 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 2: I'm talking about a certain bearing, a certain presentation, a 366 00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 2: certain mindset. And I'll tell you where you see it. 367 00:22:59,119 --> 00:23:01,239 Speaker 2: You see it out in public when a little old 368 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 2: lady is punched by a young pump and a young 369 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,600 Speaker 2: man at thirty two years old films it instead of 370 00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:12,800 Speaker 2: jumping in and solving it. Man, if that had happened 371 00:23:12,840 --> 00:23:15,840 Speaker 2: in Orange when I was growing up, God help you. 372 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,800 Speaker 2: You don't need to call the cops. Call call the morgue, 373 00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,040 Speaker 2: because they beat him to death. And I mean that 374 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,320 Speaker 2: they would beat him to death. There was a time 375 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:32,800 Speaker 2: when people would would would actually regulate when when the 376 00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,479 Speaker 2: people today, when I say, they go, well we'll get sued, 377 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:41,560 Speaker 2: Well they'll arrest us, can arrest you all. Can't arrest 378 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,919 Speaker 2: you all. I mean, go back and look at what 379 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaker 2: happened to the signers of the of the Director Dectoration 380 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 2: of Independence. It ended up badly for all of them. 381 00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:55,680 Speaker 2: Go back and look at what happened to the disciples. 382 00:23:56,720 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 2: They all died except for I'm trying to remember, because 383 00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,880 Speaker 2: Paul writes the letters from prison, I have been I'm 384 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:14,240 Speaker 2: thinking one of the apostles was not money. I was 385 00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 2: corrected on this other day, and I kind of got annoyed, 386 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 2: and I went and looked, and it was right. I have, 387 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:27,320 Speaker 2: for all these years labored that every apostle, that every 388 00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:32,520 Speaker 2: every disciple of Christ was put to death, and it 389 00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:34,760 Speaker 2: turns out that's not true. I'll get you an answer 390 00:24:34,760 --> 00:24:39,000 Speaker 2: on that just a minute. But the point is taking 391 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 2: back our society is not mean electing Donald Trump. Okay, 392 00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:45,320 Speaker 2: he's not God, he's not the Savior, and he'll be gone. 393 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,360 Speaker 2: Taking back our society is every single one of us 394 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 2: doing more and being braver, more courageous, and more fearless. George, 395 00:24:54,880 --> 00:25:09,639 Speaker 2: I can't excited, Frank, writes, listening to the show, I 396 00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 2: felt compelled regarding marijuana. I'm a little older than you, 397 00:25:15,720 --> 00:25:19,360 Speaker 2: and it has been my observation that habitual marijuana users 398 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 2: tend to be less than energetic and not in high 399 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 2: performance occupations. This is a very important moment for me, 400 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 2: a teachable moment, if you will, because people will say 401 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:42,760 Speaker 2: to me, we got to keep marijuana illegal because everybody 402 00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 2: I've ever known marijuana they you know, they're just happy 403 00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:52,120 Speaker 2: in some dead end job. They're not ambitious at all. 404 00:25:53,080 --> 00:25:56,720 Speaker 2: Wait a minute, Wait a minute, I want you to 405 00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:03,920 Speaker 2: hear what you're saying. You're saying, we're gonna use We've 406 00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:06,959 Speaker 2: set aside our own domestic army. We'll call them cops, 407 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 2: and we give them guns and tanks and all this equipment. 408 00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:17,159 Speaker 2: And you say, I'm willing to go kick down a 409 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 2: guy's door because he is taking something that is going 410 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:33,159 Speaker 2: to reduce his desire for excellence. And we cannot have 411 00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 2: people who are not sufficiently ambitious. Anything you do to 412 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:45,680 Speaker 2: reduce your ambition, we're going to arrest you. Well, I'm 413 00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 2: just saying, do you think that guy started as the 414 00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 2: most ambitious guy in the world, wanting to claw and 415 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,679 Speaker 2: scratch his way up to the corporate ladder, to get 416 00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:57,640 Speaker 2: to be CEO and wear a suit and a tie 417 00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 2: and stand around and say, why, Wilford, what have we 418 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 2: done this quarter? And what do you project for Q? 419 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:07,520 Speaker 3: Two? 420 00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:12,760 Speaker 2: And dare I ask old boy Q three? And uh, 421 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:17,120 Speaker 2: feeling a little of chiggy, I'm curious what Q four 422 00:27:17,160 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 2: will look like. Do you think that's his interest, because 423 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:27,240 Speaker 2: that's how he perceives the corporate suite. Well, it was 424 00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:31,400 Speaker 2: his interest. He wanted to be CEO until he got 425 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,040 Speaker 2: on that dope. Now he don't even want to be 426 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:37,200 Speaker 2: CEO anymore. He's just happy working in a record shop. 427 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 2: The guy who smokes marijuana wasn't on the chart to 428 00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 2: be Tillman for Tita or Donald Trump. He's a guy 429 00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 2: who enjoys solace in peace, and his brain moves too 430 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 2: fast and he wants to slow it down, and the 431 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 2: world doesn't make any sense to him. And truth is, 432 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 2: it doesn't make sense to you either. But right now 433 00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 2: you're in the righteous position. The world doesn't make any 434 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 2: sense to him. The evil that's done, the wrong that's done. 435 00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,679 Speaker 2: Maybe the war he served in. A lot of veterans 436 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,679 Speaker 2: smoke that dope makes them feel better, and there's a 437 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 2: lot of little old ladies that do it too, And 438 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,560 Speaker 2: the way that goes down is like this. She's got 439 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 2: chronic pain that's unbearable. She wishes she could die to 440 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,280 Speaker 2: make the pain stop. And her grandson, who she said 441 00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:35,160 Speaker 2: he stopped with that dope won't kill you, which it won't. 442 00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 2: Nobody dies from dope, and I can't convince people of that. 443 00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 2: But you know what, I can't convince people that you 444 00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 2: shouldn't have taken that shot. And more people died from 445 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,600 Speaker 2: it than not, so hey, it's not my cross to bear, 446 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 2: but she doesn't liked it. Her grandson smokes that dope 447 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,520 Speaker 2: and she's at her doctor's office and she's got pain 448 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:54,240 Speaker 2: so bad that she does not want to live any 449 00:28:54,240 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 2: longer and discomfort constantly. And she says to the doctor 450 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 2: who's not been able to solve her problem with traditional 451 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 2: pharmaceuticals from these evil pharmaceutical companies, and she says, my 452 00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 2: grandson said I should just take a couple of puffs 453 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 2: on his joint and I'd feel better. And the doctor 454 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:19,360 Speaker 2: leans in and says, I can't tell you to do 455 00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 2: that when when happens more than you realize, I'll get 456 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:28,640 Speaker 2: twenty emails today after this conversation with people going, my 457 00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:32,240 Speaker 2: eighty four year old dad took to gummies or took 458 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:36,800 Speaker 2: to joints or whatever else, and he just decided, I 459 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,320 Speaker 2: can't live like this anymore. I'm in such chronic pain. 460 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 2: It has a palliative effect that is greater than most pharmaceuticals. 461 00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:47,360 Speaker 2: It is completely all natural, and you know what, you're 462 00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:50,640 Speaker 2: welcome to waste a lot of police time and throw 463 00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:52,240 Speaker 2: a lot of people in prison. You know, we have 464 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 2: six hundred thousand people incarcerated for marijuana. Will Michael, I 465 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 2: ain't mad the ones that use it. I'm mad the 466 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 2: ones that distributed me too. We got all these fat 467 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 2: people out there, So I don't think we should incarcerate 468 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,920 Speaker 2: the chocolate makers. We got to go after the grocery stores. 469 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 2: See are the chocolate eaters. It's all right. If you 470 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:20,720 Speaker 2: eat too much chocolate, too much Bluebell ice cream, make 471 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 2: too much fried chicken, and eat too much Kraft macaroni 472 00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 2: and cheese. You know what, it's not good. You're getting 473 00:30:27,200 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 2: fat kills your ambition. It costs the rest of us 474 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,840 Speaker 2: in healthcare costs, because now we have socialized medicine. All 475 00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,880 Speaker 2: of that's bad. But we're not gonna prosecute you. We 476 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 2: understand you got a problem, you're a fat ass, But 477 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 2: we're gonna get them grocery stores because they're making money 478 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:48,000 Speaker 2: off this. Probably should have stuck the cursive. Hunh, Jason, 479 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 2: you're on a Michael Berry show. 480 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,200 Speaker 5: Hey Michael, how are you doing this morning? 481 00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:54,320 Speaker 2: I'm all right? How are you. 482 00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 3: All right? 483 00:30:56,200 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 5: So? 484 00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 6: I was an alcoholic for twenty eight years. I've been 485 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,280 Speaker 6: sober for nine. I went to prison for an alcohol 486 00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 6: related offense that it wasn't drinking and driving. I did 487 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,440 Speaker 6: a whole bunch of drinking and driving in my day. 488 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 6: Never killed anybody, never hurt anybody, never had a single accident. 489 00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:14,960 Speaker 6: So in my eight years in prison, I encountered quite 490 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:19,520 Speaker 6: a few people that were there for no accident, no injury. 491 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 6: D w I. I appreciate what you said about throw 492 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:28,600 Speaker 6: the book at them if they hurt somebody. I've met 493 00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,800 Speaker 6: a lot of people in there from manslaughter, double hemat 494 00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:37,040 Speaker 6: or double manslaughter, killed two killed kids from driving while intoxicated. 495 00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:40,400 Speaker 6: But why are we locking people up and putting them 496 00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,960 Speaker 6: in prison for something that could have happened. I could 497 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,520 Speaker 6: just as easily kill somebody by running a stop sign, 498 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 6: running a red light, or habitual speeding. Why not lock 499 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:53,040 Speaker 6: me up? And why not put me in prison for that? 500 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 6: So why are we locking people up, ruining their lives 501 00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:59,520 Speaker 6: and taking their families away from them for what could 502 00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:02,640 Speaker 6: have happened? What's your solution to that tough question? 503 00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:08,360 Speaker 2: It's a fair question. It's kind of questions we ought 504 00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:16,160 Speaker 2: to ask, you know, we ought to ask when we 505 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 2: initiate Operation Warp Speed. We ought to ask every single day, 506 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:22,280 Speaker 2: even if we answered the question yesterday, is this thing 507 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:26,959 Speaker 2: solving more problems than harms? Should we compel people to 508 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 2: do this or let them choose it on? Should we 509 00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 2: release every bit of information even when some of it's damning, 510 00:32:33,360 --> 00:32:34,960 Speaker 2: despite the fact that we want all the people to 511 00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 2: take the shot anyway? I think we ought to ask 512 00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 2: questions like this. It's it's a tough question, and unfortunately, 513 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:45,320 Speaker 2: policies on things like DWI are not driven, are not 514 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 2: data driven, and they're not rational policies. Everybody has a 515 00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,960 Speaker 2: relative who was harmed or killed by a drunk driver, 516 00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,920 Speaker 2: so we all secretly want a curb stop a drunk driver, 517 00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,960 Speaker 2: curb curb stomp runk driver like the American History X 518 00:33:02,040 --> 00:33:04,280 Speaker 2: you know, where Edward Norton puts the guy's head on there. 519 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:12,440 Speaker 2: I agree being arrested for drunk driving should be a 520 00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,440 Speaker 2: certain level of offense. Being a drunk driver who causes 521 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:21,040 Speaker 2: an accident should be times fifty. You're absolutely right, it 522 00:33:21,080 --> 00:33:24,600 Speaker 2: could have. Doug Stanhope has a bit that only about 523 00:33:24,640 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 2: thirty percent of our audience would think was interesting, but 524 00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:30,240 Speaker 2: I do. And he talks about how are you going 525 00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 2: to choose an actual number to decide who is and 526 00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:36,080 Speaker 2: isn't drunk? It is an inherently dangerous idea, and we 527 00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:38,480 Speaker 2: have agreed that we don't want it, but we're not 528 00:33:38,680 --> 00:33:40,920 Speaker 2: rational in the ways that we try to come to 529 00:33:40,960 --> 00:33:41,719 Speaker 2: that conclusion.
