Do you think it's time for the 14 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 1: Republican Party to move on from President Trump? 15 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 3: You know, in politics, unless you can win an election, 16 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 3: you're pretty much irrelevant. 17 00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 5: The senator didn't say who he intends to support, but 18 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 5: he didn't double down on who he believes the Republican 19 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 5: Arty should not nominates. Former President Donald Trump born untold 20 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 5: Fox twenty six. He won't be supporting former President Trump, 21 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 5: and neither should all the Republicans. 22 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:18,320 Speaker 6: So you prom and think this song is about You're so. 23 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:20,680 Speaker 7: Do you think this song. 24 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 4: Is about. 25 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 8: I can tell you that I've worked with Senator Cornyn, 26 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 8: who is a for re election a number of times 27 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,959 Speaker 8: on a number of pieces of legislation, he's actually not 28 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:39,559 Speaker 8: been the worst Republican that you can find in the Senate. 29 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 8: To be perfectly honest. 30 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 3: I know Republicans voters, and as I said earlier, really 31 00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 3: it's a question of who bothers to show up. If 32 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 3: only the most radical people show up in the primary, 33 00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 3: then I think that's going to be a analogy song. 34 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: This song is a bound your. 35 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 9: Texas Senator John Cornyan to negotiate with Democrats to see 36 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 9: if there is a compromise to be reached. Cornan joins 37 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,119 Speaker 9: a bipartisan group of senators who say they will work 38 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 9: on the issue throughout the Memorial Day recess. 39 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 3: I expector will be an informed debate about reforms we 40 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 3: can make, and I look forward to participating in those discussions. 41 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: I've been working for more than three years on a 42 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: red flag statute that seems now to have met its moment. 43 00:02:47,200 --> 00:03:07,079 Speaker 10: Senator John Cornan, conservative like you the songs. Now, there 44 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:11,040 Speaker 10: are some Republicans, including former President Trump, who are ripping 45 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 10: this and ripping you as well. The deal on gun 46 00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 10: control currently being structured and pushed in the Senate by 47 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 10: the radical left Democrats with the help of Mitch McConnell, 48 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 10: Rhino Senator John Corner of Texas and others will go 49 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 10: down in history. Is the first step of the movement 50 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 10: to take your guns away. 51 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 3: The wall, I have to tell you, doctor, is non'm 52 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 3: going to stop your llegal immigration. 53 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: The wall is an immorality. What we need is a 54 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: virtual border. 55 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 3: Giant wall from sea to shining sea makes no sense. 56 00:03:40,680 --> 00:04:02,160 Speaker 1: What's what? Elections can get very complicated, and complication and 57 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: confusion can cause frustration. I see it every day. Voters 58 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 1: are frustrated. The comment I get is, oh, I can't 59 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: wait till those selection is over. So how do I 60 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: just see all these commercials on TV? I don't know 61 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: the TV advertising business very well, but I would tell 62 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 1: you this. I don't believe it to be the case 63 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: that the total number of commercials interrupting your programming increases 64 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: during political season. I don't believe it to be the 65 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 1: case that it does. It may slightly, they may have expanded. 66 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:46,040 Speaker 1: We have that in the radio business, but marginally it's 67 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 1: not enough that would make a difference. So what's really 68 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: happening here? When you listen to the radio or watch TV. 69 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,039 Speaker 1: You have content and you have commercials, and then you 70 00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,359 Speaker 1: have service elements. In radio you have traffic, which are 71 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 1: in news which are called service elements. But basically you 72 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:07,479 Speaker 1: have content and commercials. And what you're telling me is 73 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: for the I don't know on TV what the percentage 74 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: is twenty percent. For the twenty percent of the time 75 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 1: that we're not in content, you can sell me cars, 76 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: you can sell me sell phone service, you can sell 77 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:29,680 Speaker 1: me promotions for other shows. But for the love of anything, 78 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 1: don't ask me to vote for somebody that feels weird. 79 00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: It feels like an odd thing to say. Yeah, so 80 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,479 Speaker 1: how you can get back to watch the TV and 81 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:45,160 Speaker 1: the commercials will be different than they are right now, 82 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: do the commercials normally bother you that much? 83 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 4: No? 84 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: Only political? Okay, so you'll still have as many commercials. 85 00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: So if Billy Bob or whoever the other guy is 86 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: is just repeatedly telling you that this is a cell 87 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:07,679 Speaker 1: phone service you should use, that doesn't bother you, right, 88 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,839 Speaker 1: But don't ask me to pay attention to something that 89 00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:15,280 Speaker 1: actually affects my life, which is who my congressman, Senator 90 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 1: Doug Catcher is correct. Don't like it Okay, all right, 91 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,200 Speaker 1: I got it. I said where you're going here? All right? 92 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:29,159 Speaker 1: Let me ask you think how best to approach this question. 93 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 1: How much do you know about individual office holders? Nothing? 94 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,359 Speaker 1: I just heard nothing know anything? How else would you 95 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: know anything? We can't trust anything they say, true, true point, 96 00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:50,359 Speaker 1: But wouldn't you at least like to know what they 97 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: have to say before you cats the vote, even if 98 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 1: they're lying when you at least like to hear it 99 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:01,400 Speaker 1: because who you choose to put in your government, or 100 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 1: or what we could do this is my favorite, we 101 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 1: could declare because once you do this, you're checked out 102 00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: and it's no longer any responsibility. I'm gonna vote. They're 103 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: all terrible. I'm not going to vote. They're all terrible. Okay, yeah, 104 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,239 Speaker 1: all of them. All the politicians are terrible. Are they terrible? 105 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,160 Speaker 1: Are they terrible because they're politicians or were they terrible 106 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:30,480 Speaker 1: before they were politicians? And so there's a casting call says, 107 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: all terrible people come and file for the office you're 108 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: running for. Only terrible people allowed to file, And some 109 00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,720 Speaker 1: good people showed up, and they're like, uh uh uh uh, 110 00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: you're a good one. You stay out. Anybody else here 111 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: who's terrible over here. Okay, yeah, you get in here? 112 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:50,040 Speaker 1: So or are you terrible because you're a politician? Because 113 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,800 Speaker 1: how about this? How about you, mister good guy, how 114 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 1: about you run for office and not be terrible. I'd 115 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: never get in all this stuff on my record. Well wait, 116 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: get it all.

And 158 00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:23,320 Speaker 1: he pulls his phone out and the nice little old 159 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:27,520 Speaker 1: white lady who was working the poles said first, very sweetly, 160 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 1: and I mean, you know, her name was Verlin or 161 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,199 Speaker 1: Verdine or Olive or Gertrude or Beatrice or something, just 162 00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: sweet little white lady, old and she said, sir, I'm sorry, 163 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:45,320 Speaker 1: you can't use your phone, and he proceeded not to 164 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 1: hear her, and she was like, that's my trick. So 165 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 1: she paused and she waited, and she she's closing in 166 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: on him as she does this, and she's a little 167 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: bity tiny thing, and she's that kind of old where 168 00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,120 Speaker 1: people get where their body is kind of misshaping right, 169 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:02,960 Speaker 1: so there's like no neck left, and she's kind of 170 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: crumpled over, like she's like a half finished aluminum can 171 00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:11,840 Speaker 1: of Coca cola, and she's kind of like you went 172 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:14,120 Speaker 1: to crunch it, but you didn't get a good you 173 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,319 Speaker 1: know how when you put a ramona when you put 174 00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,760 Speaker 1: a can on the on the concrete, and you go 175 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 1: to stomp it to make it tiny to put in 176 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,760 Speaker 1: the trash, but you only hit side of it, so 177 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: she just crumpled up. The little lady. She's real sweet, 178 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: and she starts toward him and she says it again, 179 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 1: very politely, sir, you can't use your phone. Well, at 180 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: this point, he's starting, she's getting real close on him, 181 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 1: and so he can't use the old I can't hear 182 00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:42,520 Speaker 1: you get him anymore. So then he starts trying to 183 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,200 Speaker 1: rapidly vote, but you can't rapidly vote on those machines. 184 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: So at this point, she very sweetly puts her hand 185 00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,520 Speaker 1: on the back of his arm, and she's about to 186 00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,280 Speaker 1: do that thing my mom used to do when we were little, 187 00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:54,719 Speaker 1: which just pinched him on the back of that thing 188 00:11:54,800 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: hurts ooh, on the back of the bicep. So he said, okay, okay, 189 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,240 Speaker 1: puts his phone note and then he proceeds for five 190 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 1: minutes to explain to her how this is the st 191 00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: stupidest ruling in the world. I agree, but it's not 192 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 1: her rules. She says, said it to enforced the rule. 193 00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 1: She doesn't like telling a cop you think a law 194 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,200 Speaker 1: is stupid. He's not the guy that can change it. 195 00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,960 Speaker 1: He's got a job to do anyway. So I keep 196 00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:23,000 Speaker 1: getting this question of term limits, where your ballot says 197 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 1: that you're four one through ten, item number six is 198 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: or you're in favor of one through ten. Item six 199 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:29,920 Speaker 1: is term limits, so you're in favor of term limits, 200 00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:33,000 Speaker 1: to which I answer, and I will say this, nobody 201 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:35,160 Speaker 1: seems to understand this. I don't give a damn about 202 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,040 Speaker 1: term moments. I really don't. I'm not for them or 203 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,160 Speaker 1: against them. I said four because I didn't want to 204 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,200 Speaker 1: confuse people on the items one through ten. I'm not 205 00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:47,600 Speaker 1: against them necessarily. But here's what makes me mad that 206 00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:51,200 Speaker 1: nobody seems to get because everybody is convinced that if 207 00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:53,880 Speaker 1: you just change that, you can you can have good government. 208 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,920 Speaker 1: If you just write new laws, if you have new restrictions, 209 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:02,439 Speaker 1: your kids will no longer be having promiscuous sex all 210 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 1: night long, unprotected, doing drugs, driving one hundred dollars an hour, 211 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:10,040 Speaker 1: sneaking out of the house, and engaged in all sorts 212 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 1: of bad behaviors. If you just write it down that 213 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: they can't do that, well, that's not how it works. 214 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 1: So here's the point. You have term limits, You f 215 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 1: things have term limits. Why is it so hard to understand? 216 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: If you're in favor of term limits, what's your terminate 217 00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: three two year terms for a congressman? Vote out every 218 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 1: congressman they've all been in that long. Well, like my guy, 219 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: Then you don't want term limits. You want a law 220 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,600 Speaker 1: that keeps you from doing what you're doing right now. 221 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:47,080 Speaker 1: This is like sex fiends who run around as pornography crusaders, 222 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: and then you find out that they're obsessed Ted Haggard, 223 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 1: they're obsessed with porn. This is like people run around 224 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,439 Speaker 1: him homos and homos are taking over the world, and 225 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: then you find out they got fifteen homo escorts coming 226 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,760 Speaker 1: to their house. These people that have this this sort 227 00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:06,360 Speaker 1: of frustration as to who they are or what they do, 228 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: are their inability to make decisions, so they run around 229 00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,920 Speaker 1: changing laws. You can be for termaments, but how about this, 230 00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:15,400 Speaker 1: how about vote against every incumbent, Vote against Cornyn, vote 231 00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,240 Speaker 1: against Crenshaw, vote against Abbot, vote against all of them. 232 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 1: All right, your calls coming up, Luis and add Michael 233 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: Bay try to the bone lines.

It 255 00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 11: was terrific. So I listened to your show regularly. I'm 256 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 11: up in spring, I'm in District two, and at the 257 00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,880 Speaker 11: end of January I met Dan Crawford of briefing that 258 00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 11: he covered up near where we lived, and it was 259 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,360 Speaker 11: the most obnoxious thing I ever saw, with everybody in 260 00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:54,240 Speaker 11: their red cards and the Democrats and interrupting every question, 261 00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,080 Speaker 11: and he was going to ask. But I'm still going 262 00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:57,440 Speaker 11: to vote for him. I had a chance to talk 263 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 11: to him afterwards.

But you know, we persevere. But 268 00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 11: I just want to say, love your show and listen 269 00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 11: to it when I'm in the car. 270 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 1: Thanks you, buddy, Lyndy. You're ol Michael Berry Show, Sir. 271 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 6: Go ahead, Hello, Michael, I'm driving down I chant in 272 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 6: my farm. I'm a retired energy person and I voted 273 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 6: first day of early voting, and I basically followed your 274 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:47,640 Speaker 6: recommendation with a couple of exceptions. Exception one was I'm 275 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:52,520 Speaker 6: a Leshly Hunt supporter, and two I went for Abbot 276 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 6: as opposed to your recommendation. 277 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:56,960 Speaker 1: Okay, tell me why you went with. 278 00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 6: Abbott more of a known commodity than anything. I just 279 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 6: generally like what I see from him. I didn't know 280 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:13,439 Speaker 6: anything about him not supporting trying to get to the 281 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 6: bottom of the mealer problem in Houston. But you know, 282 00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 6: other than that, I'm pretty cool with that. 283 00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: Abbot. Let me ask you a question, and I'm not. 284 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 1: Your vote is cast, so I'm just and maybe it 285 00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 1: wouldn't make a difference. 286 00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 6: It's done. 287 00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: So in the last couple of days, there's been a 288 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 1: lot of people talking about the fact that with the 289 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:40,040 Speaker 1: issue of the guy in Austin with the property of Allah, 290 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:45,120 Speaker 1: Abbot's biggest donor is a Pakistani man that's given him 291 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:49,200 Speaker 1: fourteen million dollars with strong ties to Pakistan. His head 292 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:55,320 Speaker 1: of the Texas Medical Board has also been tied to 293 00:17:55,640 --> 00:18:01,160 Speaker 1: a Pakistani position in the medical field. There's a video 294 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,639 Speaker 1: of him talking to a group called Muslim Health and 295 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 1: telling people how to come to this country and become 296 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,879 Speaker 1: doctors when we have doctors here who can't find positions 297 00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:15,399 Speaker 1: because they're not available. He has a disturbing tie to 298 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,480 Speaker 1: Pakistani businessman. I'm assuming you probably didn't know that, But 299 00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:23,880 Speaker 1: if you did know that, would that bother you? 300 00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:24,600 Speaker 6: Not particularly? 301 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,880 Speaker 1: I did not know that, Okay, No, no, if it doesn't. 302 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 6: But I'm not sure. 303 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 1: Okay, let me ask you another question. I'm asking because 304 00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 1: I want to know how these things play to voters, 305 00:18:32,640 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 1: not to change your vote. You've already cast your vote. 306 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 1: He received I think it was four or five different checks, 307 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 1: so it's not a one time oversight from Colony Ridge. 308 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 1: And I'm assuming you know what Coliny Ridge is for 309 00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:47,199 Speaker 1: well over a million dollars from the Colony Ridge developer 310 00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,119 Speaker 1: and then separately from his wife. Does that bother you? 311 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:57,920 Speaker 6: I guess you're thinking a little about illegal immigration. 312 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,600 Speaker 1: No, no, my opinion. It doesn't matter here. I'm curious 313 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 1: about your opinion. Everybody gets to have their own opinion. 314 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:08,040 Speaker 1: And it's legitimate and authentic and rich connection. What's that? 315 00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 6: That's the colony rich connection? 316 00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:14,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, but no, But I'm just asking, do you know 317 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:16,280 Speaker 1: what Connie Ridge is? And does that bother you? 318 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:19,520 Speaker 6: That kind of does? 319 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:19,919 Speaker 12: Yes? 320 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:27,160 Speaker 1: Okay? When they give him over a million dollars, why 321 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:28,880 Speaker 1: do you think they do? You think they just kind 322 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 1: of want good government? 323 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 6: Well, I would imagine they are clearly thinking he's going 324 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 6: to support what they're doing. 325 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,520 Speaker 1: Right, And why do you think he would take the 326 00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:44,360 Speaker 1: money when there had been so complaints able. 327 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,160 Speaker 6: Don't know. 328 00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,520 Speaker 1: I can, I can give you some ideas. I'm not 329 00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:54,600 Speaker 1: trying to beat you up. You're actually the perfect case. 330 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,760 Speaker 1: I think it's good to hear what people have to say. 331 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:00,560 Speaker 1: There is no perfect candid. I don't mean say that 332 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: there is. I do believe that there is evil afoot 333 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:14,000 Speaker 1: and I do believe that we have people in office 334 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 1: who make a deal with the devil, knowing it's a 335 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:23,719 Speaker 1: deal with the devil, and counting on the fact that 336 00:20:23,760 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 1: you won't know about it, or that they can use 337 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:32,439 Speaker 1: the money to claim that anyone questioning them is awful, 338 00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: and that that that that that is a calculation they 339 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 1: make because it's always worked before. I do believe that, 340 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:48,000 Speaker 1: and I think we're gonna you see that in your elections. 341 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: You see that in people who who do things that 342 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:59,440 Speaker 1: are unthinkable and then they have to come back before 343 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:02,240 Speaker 1: the voters. And nobody comes back before the voters and says, 344 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:05,159 Speaker 1: you know what, you called me, that was a horrible 345 00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: thing I did. I should be ashamed of myself. I apologize, 346 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,199 Speaker 1: and I want to ask your forgiveness, and I want 347 00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,200 Speaker 1: to ask for your vote. They don't do that. They 348 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:18,920 Speaker 1: just start smearing the other guy really hard and claiming 349 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 1: that anyone who questions them is a demon. And the 350 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,440 Speaker 1: reality is, it works. And it doesn't work because there's 351 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 1: a tsunami in Thailand, and it doesn't work because there's 352 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 1: heavy rain in Beaumont. It works because we are fallible 353 00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:39,159 Speaker 1: human beings who are capable of being swayed, and we 354 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,280 Speaker 1: are capable of being swayed into taking a shot that 355 00:21:42,440 --> 00:21:46,440 Speaker 1: ends up killing us. We are capable of being swayed 356 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:51,040 Speaker 1: into believing that Obamacare is healthcare for everybody. We are 357 00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:54,400 Speaker 1: capable of being manipulated. And we may not like that 358 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 1: because it doesn't come off well, but it's true. And again, 359 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,000 Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be up on callers. I'm trying 360 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 1: to have some fun in exchange and engage. I appreciate 361 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:06,600 Speaker 1: Lindy being honest about that. I'm not asking you to 362 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,879 Speaker 1: regret your vote. Greg, You're up, go ahead. 363 00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 12: Hey, Michael, thanks for taking my car. Hey just wanted 364 00:22:12,760 --> 00:22:15,640 Speaker 12: to let you know I took your advice last week 365 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:19,440 Speaker 12: and went and voted early and took my cheat sheet 366 00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 12: with me that you had online. And my wife went 367 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,679 Speaker 12: today and took the cheat sheet with her and she 368 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 12: just called me a little bit Ago said when she 369 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:31,760 Speaker 12: got up there to vote, when she was done or 370 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:34,359 Speaker 12: when she was going through the ballot, there were no 371 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:38,560 Speaker 12: Republicans on the ballot. It was all Democrats, and she 372 00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:41,880 Speaker 12: didn't realize what was going on, so all she got 373 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:44,480 Speaker 12: to vote for was the propositions. And when she was 374 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:48,199 Speaker 12: done voting, she asked the lady there, what why are 375 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,439 Speaker 12: there no Republicans on the ballot, and she just told her, 376 00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,000 Speaker 12: well that this is all Democrats. So I'm confused how 377 00:22:55,119 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 12: she got into the wrong voting area there, it did seem. 378 00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 1: Sorry to Michael Verry show, let me just say this, 379 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:12,639 Speaker 1: if you're retired or off work today or otherwise have 380 00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:19,639 Speaker 1: some free time and you want to you're feeling the 381 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:23,880 Speaker 1: election spirit. If you call the campaign that you support, 382 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 1: they'll send you out to a campaign location. It's not 383 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:30,120 Speaker 1: real formal, there's no training. You just stand there and go, hey, 384 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 1: please vote for Steve Toath, please vote for Alex Meeler, 385 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:40,280 Speaker 1: whoever the candidate is. And the other thing is, even 386 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:41,760 Speaker 1: if you don't know anybody, even if you have to 387 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,600 Speaker 1: go by yourself. This is how I started. When I 388 00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,520 Speaker 1: came to Houston, I would go to campaign. I would 389 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:50,359 Speaker 1: go to election night events before I knew anybody, and 390 00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 1: I just look around see who the players were, and 391 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: I learned pretty quickly. But go to you. If you 392 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: look at the website for the candidate you support at 393 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,960 Speaker 1: whatever level, there's there's probably an election night watch party 394 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: tonight and there's no cost and there's no ticket required. 395 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 1: You just show up and at seven o'clock you'll get 396 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:11,399 Speaker 1: the first round of election of you'll start getting the 397 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,399 Speaker 1: early vote will drop, and then through the course of 398 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,960 Speaker 1: the evening you'll get earlier returns than you do in 399 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: November because the Democrat cheating will only be on the 400 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: Democrats side. The Republicans will turn the votes in pretty fast. 401 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: The way we used to where you could have your 402 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:28,760 Speaker 1: election would be put to bed about ten o'clock. But 403 00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 1: those are open. If you go to the candidate, you 404 00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 1: choose their website or look them up, it's not that hard. 405 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: You can go to their parties and they usually start 406 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,160 Speaker 1: at about seven o'clock and it's a fun thing to do. 407 00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 1: There's usually free food and drinks too. So all right, 408 00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,719 Speaker 1: who are you voting for? And why Dan? You're up? 409 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 7: Go ahead, Hey, Michael, Dan. 410 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: Call call it. 411 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:55,160 Speaker 7: I'm actually coming from voting, and I just moved here 412 00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,440 Speaker 7: just under four years ago. I'm a scapee from the 413 00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,639 Speaker 7: People's Republic of New York and so this is my 414 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:04,959 Speaker 7: first primary voting here. Interesting observation. I don't know if 415 00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 7: anyone's told you this. On the list of candidates for Senate, 416 00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 7: everyone is listed except for one. Because there's no room. 417 00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,560 Speaker 7: You have to push the Seymour candidate's button to reveal 418 00:25:18,600 --> 00:25:21,520 Speaker 7: Ken Paxton. So I thought that was kind of interesting 419 00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 7: in wondering if anybody's it is. 420 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:31,159 Speaker 1: And obviously that stresses people out. Now I tested it. 421 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:35,560 Speaker 1: You can't move to the next page until you scroll down, 422 00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:40,800 Speaker 1: so the first page is everybody in the race, because 423 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:45,160 Speaker 1: there's a bunch of people other than Paxton, and then 424 00:25:45,359 --> 00:25:48,440 Speaker 1: when you look at the bottom, it says scroll down. 425 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 1: It's not easy to find. I think for an older 426 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 1: voter who's not you know, my kids are walking it 427 00:25:55,240 --> 00:25:59,000 Speaker 1: popop because it's very intuitive to them. But for an 428 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 1: older voter it might be very stressful. But you cannot 429 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:08,200 Speaker 1: go to the next vote, to the next race unless 430 00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:12,919 Speaker 1: you scroll down and see Paxton's name. So there is 431 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 1: I guess some sort of a safeguard. I don't know 432 00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:20,639 Speaker 1: what to make of that. I also know you know 433 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:22,520 Speaker 1: what I don't understand, and this was kind of odd 434 00:26:22,520 --> 00:26:25,160 Speaker 1: to me. Why couldn't you make the font a little smaller? 435 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 1: How many of us didn't have a paper we had 436 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: to submit, and you know it had to be ten 437 00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: pages when we turned it in and we only had six, 438 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,679 Speaker 1: So we just changed our margin and added more space 439 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 1: in between. The professors knew what we were doing, but 440 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,800 Speaker 1: you can stretch her. You could have programmed this damn 441 00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:47,280 Speaker 1: thing where you'd have all the votes, all the candidates 442 00:26:47,359 --> 00:26:51,480 Speaker 1: on one page. That felt very weird that they couldn't 443 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 1: fix that. I mean, how hard would that be to do? 444 00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:58,679 Speaker 1: Because they knew this was happening really really weird. I 445 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,240 Speaker 1: thought that whole deal was really really weird. Carla, what 446 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:03,439 Speaker 1: you got? Glands from heart? 447 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 11: Hi? 448 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:06,040 Speaker 6: Yes, I. 449 00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,840 Speaker 13: Wanted to say that I voted for Hawkdown Lap for 450 00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:15,160 Speaker 13: her Bay Road Commission. And the reason I did that 451 00:27:15,359 --> 00:27:17,760 Speaker 13: is because there's this lady that's been going around and 452 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 13: she has these real videos about zombie wells and she's 453 00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:26,639 Speaker 13: been addressing this for some time and having her content 454 00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:29,920 Speaker 13: with the state about it and the oil companies and 455 00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 13: and it is an issue. But the thing is one 456 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 13: day I saw this real nursous guy out there helping 457 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:38,360 Speaker 13: her doing this day, and I said, is the real 458 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 13: and yeah, So I. 459 00:27:42,119 --> 00:27:43,440 Speaker 12: Voted for him for that. 460 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,520 Speaker 1: I I can barely hear you, but I got I 461 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,479 Speaker 1: got the thrust of your argument. Uh, Steve, You're up, 462 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:49,879 Speaker 1: Go ahead. 463 00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:52,960 Speaker 12: Hey, thanks a lot. 464 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 4: I was calling to let you know about my boat 465 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,800 Speaker 4: for Senate as well as for the proposition on term limits. 466 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,800 Speaker 4: So percentate, I voted for Ken Paxton, and simply because 467 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 4: his record is so good and what he's done as 468 00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,400 Speaker 4: our attorney general versus what I haven't seen done by 469 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,359 Speaker 4: Senator Cornyn. And I don't think we have enough time 470 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:17,560 Speaker 4: with Congressman Hunt to realize what his track record is 471 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,959 Speaker 4: going to be at this point. So I think the 472 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:24,359 Speaker 4: best choice for me was Ken Paxton for Senator, and 473 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 4: just praying for him and his family and understanding there's 474 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 4: some rough things to go through that that shouldn't dissuade 475 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,240 Speaker 4: any of us from the record that he can has 476 00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 4: done and can do as the senator for our state. 477 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:44,640 Speaker 1: Thank you. I want to go to clip number fourteen, Ramon, 478 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 1: this is if I were to sew up this entire 479 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:53,719 Speaker 1: election cycle, really, the entire election process. This is it 480 00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 1: in a nutshell. This is John Cornyn on with CBS 481 00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:58,719 Speaker 1: a couple of days ago. Listen to this. 482 00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:03,920 Speaker 3: I know Republicans voters, and as I said earlier, really 483 00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 3: it's a question of who bothers to show up. If 484 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:10,440 Speaker 3: only the most radical people show up in the primary, 485 00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 3: then I think that's. 486 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 1: Going to be a challenge. If we get a broad. 487 00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,720 Speaker 3: Spectrum of Republican voters to turn out in the primary. 488 00:29:19,920 --> 00:29:22,600 Speaker 3: I'm optimistic about the outcompany. 489 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:29,200 Speaker 1: When we refer to Muslims or Islam, what is the 490 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,520 Speaker 1: word we use to take it from the guy who 491 00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,200 Speaker 1: works in the lab down the hall, from us to 492 00:29:35,360 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 1: the person who will blow the whole place up in 493 00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:46,800 Speaker 1: murder children. One word radical? He says, if only the 494 00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 1: most radical people show up, that I won't win. Show 495 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 1: up where in the Republican primary? Who are these radical 496 00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:06,480 Speaker 1: people of which you speak? Are they not Republicans? Because 497 00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 1: he doesn't want to close primary. Neither is Greg Abbott 498 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:10,640 Speaker 1: for that matter. Do you know why they don't want 499 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:14,920 Speaker 1: to close primary? They want Democrats to vote in our primary. 500 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 1: Do you know why? Because they don't want just the 501 00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 1: base to vote in our primary? Because they do better 502 00:30:22,600 --> 00:30:28,440 Speaker 1: among Democrats than the radical Republican in the race. He's 503 00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,960 Speaker 1: not talking about candidates. He's not saying Paxton is radical. 504 00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:36,240 Speaker 1: He believes he is. He's saying you're radical. You know 505 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 1: why you're radical because you don't support him. You know 506 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: why you're radical because you don't want red flag laws 507 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 1: and he does.

All 512 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 1: of these things make you radical. And if all you 513 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,640 Speaker 1: radicals show up in the Republican primary, he won't win 514 00:31:06,840 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 1: because you radicals don't like him.
