1 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:11,480 Speaker 1: It's that time time time, time, Luck and Load. The 2 00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:31,520 Speaker 1: Michael Verie Show is on the air. I'm a big 3 00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:34,879 Speaker 1: fan of the gig economy. I think that there are 4 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 1: a lot of things that people have skills to do 5 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,720 Speaker 1: that other people would be willing to pay for, but 6 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:46,839 Speaker 1: they're uncomfortable asking to be paid sort of awkward. I 7 00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,240 Speaker 1: think there are a lot of people who help other 8 00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: people fix their cars or fix their cars for the 9 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: rest of the family that if they could ever get 10 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,480 Speaker 1: over the barrier and say the way to do it is, Hey, 11 00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: I've started a business and I've been happy to fix 12 00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:06,039 Speaker 1: your car, but I've decided to make a living at this. 13 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: So just so you know, I'll be charging less than 14 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: you'd pay somewhere else because I don't have overhead. But 15 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 1: I'm well, where's your shop? You never asked where my 16 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: shop was when I was fixing your car before. But 17 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 1: I'm going to work at people's houses. If I can't 18 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 1: do it mobile, then I'm not going to fix it. Well, 19 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: I mean I could take it to the professionals. Take 20 00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,119 Speaker 1: it to the professionals. Then if people could get comfortable 21 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: with selling their services to friends and family, then they 22 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,320 Speaker 1: could make a living doing what they love to do, 23 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: devote more time to it. But it's hard to do 24 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 1: because a lot of people, and I've witnessed this, a 25 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,559 Speaker 1: lot of people are very uncomfortable talking about money. They 26 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: are not comfortable at all. Now, as long as you 27 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: have an office or a retail location and a sign 28 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: out front, money is supposed to supposed to pass in 29 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: those locations. But just the delivery of a service and 30 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 1: the payment for it. People don't think there should all 31 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: that should be free, and a lot of people have 32 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: the very stupid and I believe it is stupid idea 33 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 1: that everything should be free all the time. You shouldn't 34 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:24,480 Speaker 1: charge for things. I have decided that those people are 35 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: not worth my time because I want to make money 36 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:29,799 Speaker 1: and if I'm doing something that I think is of 37 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: value that someone else would pay for, I'm going to 38 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 1: charge for it, and that person can choose not to 39 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: pay for it. I don't know why they don't understand that, 40 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 1: but they like to bitch about it, and it usually 41 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: consists of you being a bad person for charging for 42 00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: something and them not having the money. But they do 43 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 1: have money, they just don't want to spend it on that. 44 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: They want that thing free. I say all that to 45 00:02:55,520 --> 00:03:00,519 Speaker 1: say this the gig economy for the right people, especially 46 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,960 Speaker 1: wives of men. When the wives are stay at home 47 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: and have a skill set that is monetizable, you'd be 48 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: You're never going to support the whole family with it. 49 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: You don't need to, but for vacation money or more. 50 00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,880 Speaker 1: I'm amazed how many people create little side how many 51 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,560 Speaker 1: wives I have seen this, How many wives create little 52 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:28,800 Speaker 1: side businesses while raising kids at home and managed to 53 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: make it work without it without it affecting them being 54 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:33,400 Speaker 1: a mommy or a wife or the you know, the 55 00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: person that keeps the house running and makes dinner. Example, 56 00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: my wife has some friends who play Majong. I like 57 00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: the Majong trend for this reason. It's a game that 58 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: I don't know much about it, so I'm probably gonna 59 00:03:49,080 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: say something wrong. You don't need to correct me because 60 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 1: I don't really care. But it's a game that apparently 61 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: has been around for eight billion years, and it's gotten 62 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:05,840 Speaker 1: popular with white women and they have gatherings. Well, part 63 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 1: of the issue here is women don't know how to 64 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:14,080 Speaker 1: get together as women. Guys easiest to play golf. Hey, 65 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 1: you and join us playoff. I don't really care it 66 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. We're not really there to play golf, come, 67 00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,400 Speaker 1: drink beers and hang out. Okay, women don't do that. 68 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,760 Speaker 1: There's some, but not mostly they don't do that. So 69 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: guys have that. Or you want to spend time with 70 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 1: somebody to get to know them, engage them. Bringing interesting 71 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: people together as a group can create magic. That is, 72 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: there are endorphins released. That's why people that have a 73 00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 1: farm or a ranch will invite people out, maybe have 74 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 1: somebody play guitar and sit around the campfire and sing. 75 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 1: There is something about male fraternity that is important and engaging. 76 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,239 Speaker 1: It's different than couples hanging out. That's also special, that's fun. 77 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 1: There is guys hanging out. This is a good thing. 78 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: Fishing trip, there's always a Houston gun club, going to 79 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:11,160 Speaker 1: a gun club. Those are the sorts of things activities 80 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,640 Speaker 1: that guys are very good at. And you develop friendships 81 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 1: through that, and through that you meet new people who 82 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,880 Speaker 1: also become your friends. And as an adult, it's a 83 00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 1: lot harder to make new friends than it was in 84 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:29,360 Speaker 1: school because you know you're married, so you go to work, 85 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: you come home, you got your wife, your kids, your responsibilities, 86 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 1: and most people go to bed at a reasonable time, 87 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 1: so you don't have a lot of free time, so 88 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,720 Speaker 1: you don't get to meet new friends. And you find 89 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: out that years are going by and you haven't developed 90 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:50,040 Speaker 1: any new friendships, and friendships feed you. You know, new people, 91 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: interesting people. What do they do for a living? How 92 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: do they end up here? 93 00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 2: What? 94 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: What interesting things have happened to them? That all of 95 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:01,240 Speaker 1: that is the stuff of life. And you have difficulty 96 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 1: developing those new friendships, especially if you don't have a 97 00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 1: work job, a job that allows you to interact with 98 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: new people. So what do you do? Well, men are 99 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: just better at that than women. But women have learned 100 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 1: that they need this and so one of the things 101 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 1: that this Majong gives them the ability to do this. 102 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,239 Speaker 1: And I say, what I like about Majong for women 103 00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 1: is that it is a game, a sport. I guess 104 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,039 Speaker 1: it's a card game of some sort or some sort 105 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: of table game. But what I love about it is 106 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:41,200 Speaker 1: I know women who play this game with people that 107 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,359 Speaker 1: I know women who play this game in their forties 108 00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 1: with women in their eighties. And what other activity can 109 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,760 Speaker 1: you get multiple generations at the same table around a 110 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 1: game interacting socially pickleball's pretty good about that, but there 111 00:06:57,120 --> 00:07:00,320 Speaker 1: is still a physical component such as it is. It's 112 00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:03,640 Speaker 1: not intense, but such as it is with majong. You 113 00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 1: really can get from what I've seen of people. I've 114 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 1: had people say, hey, I I met this lady who 115 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:11,400 Speaker 1: really loves you. She just thinks the world are you. 116 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 1: And this will be somebody in their forties, And I said, oh, 117 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: who is it? And Miss so and so she's eighty five. 118 00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: How do you know her? We played majong together. Anyway, 119 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: the point of this whole discussion was, my wife tells 120 00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:28,160 Speaker 1: me she's having a group over to the house. She's 121 00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: just she has all these friends who play majong and 122 00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: they've been asking her to play forever. And they have 123 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: hired a woman to teach you newbies, because my wife's 124 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: a nubie to play majong, this this game. I said, oh, okay, well, 125 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:46,840 Speaker 1: how the person who teaches you to play majong? What 126 00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 1: were they doing yesterday? And she said, raising kids, She 127 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: was working out of the house, and she's really good 128 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,040 Speaker 1: at majah. She was playing all the time. She figured 129 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: out a lot of people wanted to wanted to do, 130 00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,840 Speaker 1: wanted to play majong and didn't know how. So now 131 00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: she is in the gig economy. She is a person 132 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 1: who goes to your house. You host amajon group of 133 00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 1: all newbies, and she comes in and teaches you. Again, 134 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 1: I don't think she's getting rich, but to have a 135 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:13,880 Speaker 1: little play money on the sign. There's so many things 136 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 1: that people can do. It's a brave new world. Interesting 137 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,360 Speaker 1: times we're living. Oh, I got to give you my votes. 138 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:22,679 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I'll do that next segment. 139 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:29,520 Speaker 3: Damn it, all right, this is Mark Chestnut Enjoy Bizaar 140 00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:47,400 Speaker 3: of talk radio. 141 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 1: In the US Senate race. I think John Cornyn is 142 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: an embarrassment. I think he's a hypocrite. I think that 143 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,840 Speaker 1: Washington owns him, and I think he is the best 144 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:02,920 Speaker 1: example in Americans to day of the problem we have. 145 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: It's not the Democrats, we know who they are. It's 146 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: Republicans who claim they're with you and behind your back 147 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: do exactly the opposite. We've played for you before, we'll 148 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,440 Speaker 1: play it again. The audio of him telling a business 149 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:21,760 Speaker 1: group that Trump's border wall is impractical and won't happen. 150 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,680 Speaker 1: Now he comes around and says, oh, no, no, no, I 151 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,120 Speaker 1: change my mind. It's a good idea. What do you 152 00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: think the people of Texas wanted? John Cornyn knew what 153 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 1: the people of Texas wanted when he said that, because 154 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: six years is a long time. I had somebody tell 155 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:42,840 Speaker 1: me the other day, if Cording doesn't win the primary, 156 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:47,760 Speaker 1: then he's going to torment Trump from March through the 157 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 1: end of the year because he'll still be the Senator. 158 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,640 Speaker 1: And that's what scares me about Cornyn. Wait a minute, 159 00:09:55,280 --> 00:10:00,439 Speaker 1: this guy hates Trump and Texas so much that if 160 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: he can't be your senator, you believe and I do too. 161 00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,880 Speaker 1: Did he go back to Washington, d C. And torment 162 00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,800 Speaker 1: Trump for nine months and that's your basis for voting 163 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,160 Speaker 1: for him? He has blackmailed you into voting for him. 164 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: Does that tell you where you are in this process? 165 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:25,280 Speaker 1: Wesley Hunter, Ken Paxton, Congress Steve Toath. I think Dan 166 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,199 Speaker 1: Crenshaw's an embarrassment. I think he's horrible. There's one guy 167 00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: running in that district who's running. Finny is his name. 168 00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 1: I don't know him, but his whole spot is that 169 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,079 Speaker 1: Crenshaw's a drunk and crass and rude, and he goes 170 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 1: into that story in Mexico, Crenshaw claims that story is debunked. 171 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: I don't know if it's debunk or not. I know 172 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,439 Speaker 1: the story's out there. The guy's running ads at say 173 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:46,679 Speaker 1: Crenshaw's a drunk and he won't be a drunk. That's 174 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: the whole spot, which is an interesting approach. I don't 175 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,120 Speaker 1: know that it gets any attraction, but it'd be interesting 176 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,640 Speaker 1: to study whether. I don't know how much money he's 177 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: got behind it, because the only thing I watch on 178 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 1: TV is Jeopardy that I record and watch at night. 179 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: I don't know who's watching Jeopardy. Maybe seniors, I don't know. 180 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,880 Speaker 1: Steve Toath is a constitutional conservative with a strong track 181 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 1: record in the House. You know this is where politics 182 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:15,559 Speaker 1: is so filthy, so dirty, so diabolical. Crenshaw's professionals out 183 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:21,440 Speaker 1: of DC are running ads that say Crenshaw worked against us. 184 00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:27,280 Speaker 1: He didn't want to cut taxes in the House. Crenshaw 185 00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:30,320 Speaker 1: was a group of what Texas Monthly called far right 186 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:35,360 Speaker 1: conservatives who fought the budget bill because it didn't cut 187 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: taxes enough. So he voted against a bill that was 188 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: too bloated but claimed to have some tax cuts in it. 189 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: Now they claimed Toth this against tax cuts. Toth is 190 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:54,040 Speaker 1: the constitutional conservative. Crenshaw is not a good representative. Crenshaw 191 00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 1: wants wars foreign spending Afghans coming to Houston. He wrote 192 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 1: this in a letter, in a letter for Afghans to 193 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 1: be relocated in Houston, and we see what they've done 194 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 1: to rapes and the murders. He and Sylvia Garcia wrote 195 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,720 Speaker 1: that letter together. If you're ever co authoring a letter 196 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: with Sylvia Garcia and you're not sure if this is 197 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 1: the right thing to do, just look at the other 198 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 1: seat that t'rore on the letter and go, oh, Sylvia Garcia, Yeah, 199 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: not the right thing to do, and steve toath District two. 200 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:25,720 Speaker 1: Some of you are going to be in District two 201 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:27,400 Speaker 1: that don't Some of you are going to be in 202 00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,680 Speaker 1: districts that you didn't expect before. So don't be surprised 203 00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: by that. The redistricting moved some people around. District eight. 204 00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 1: Jessica Hart Steinmann or Nick Tran. I think Steinmann's got 205 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,679 Speaker 1: the endorsements and the money. Nick Tran's got a lot 206 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: of folks that I respect who are constitutional conservatives and 207 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 1: good guys. I think either one of them would be good. 208 00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:53,280 Speaker 1: Best I can tell. District nine Alex Meeler. I was 209 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 1: a big supporter of Meeler for County Judge. Mattress Mac 210 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,240 Speaker 1: myself and Tom Ramsey have been big supporters of her 211 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:03,160 Speaker 1: for Congress. I can tell you that if the vote 212 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:07,080 Speaker 1: went to the grassroots, Mieler would win. She's got the 213 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,320 Speaker 1: mayors of the communities within the district. She's got the 214 00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,840 Speaker 1: city council one of the communities in the district. She's 215 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: got law enforcement. The Border Patrol endorsed her. Briscoe Caine 216 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,520 Speaker 1: has got the big money guys. He's got Abbot's money 217 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 1: people because he was one of Abbot stooges in Austin. 218 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: He's the guy who led the impact the impeachment of Paxton. He's, 219 00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 1: my opinion, a complete sellout. He declared Colony Ridge to 220 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,600 Speaker 1: be the American dream. He took money from the Colony 221 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,960 Speaker 1: Ridge guys. And if you look at the agency that 222 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: is representing him, they are also the agency that are 223 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: the lobbyists for the Harris family who developed Colony Ridge, 224 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 1: and you will notice there is a very close tie there. 225 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: You will notice that it is the financial interests that 226 00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,320 Speaker 1: are behind Briscoe Caine. And I think there is in 227 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: the mix really dirty people involved. I think Meeler will 228 00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:05,640 Speaker 1: do a much better job. I think that Brisco Kaine's 229 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,160 Speaker 1: a complete sellout, and I could say a lot worse, 230 00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:11,600 Speaker 1: but I'll hold that for now. District twenty two, Congress 231 00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: Trevor Nails District thirty six, Brian Babbin District thirty eight, 232 00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:23,000 Speaker 1: John Bonk, Attorney General Aaron Wrights. I kind of gave 233 00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: right short shrift the other day because I said that 234 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,120 Speaker 1: I didn't know if he could win, but I think 235 00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,640 Speaker 1: he should win. Didn't know how he could do in fundraising, 236 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 1: so I reached out and asked for some details and 237 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:39,080 Speaker 1: did a little research. Wrights is actually doing better than 238 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: everyone else in fundraising that is not self financing. He 239 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:48,280 Speaker 1: raised four million dollars from nearly three thousand individual contributors 240 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 1: in under seven months since he launched his campaign. He 241 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 1: has three million on hand. That's it's not as much 242 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: as you want a state wide race, but it's way 243 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 1: better than you would have expected considering this. Four candidates 244 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: in that race. May's Middleton is self financing. Chip Roy 245 00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 1: has name ID because he's been up there, but the 246 00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: Trump folks hate chip Roy. John Huffman's got the Texans 247 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,160 Speaker 1: for lawsuit reform and that group behind her because she's 248 00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: a state senator. And I think there's a lot of 249 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: people scared to death and this happens, there's nothing wrong 250 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: with it. I think there's a lot of people supporting 251 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,680 Speaker 1: her who are scared to death if she loses and 252 00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:28,280 Speaker 1: she goes back. She's got a powerful committee chairmanship in 253 00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: the State Senate that they don't care she wins or loses. 254 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,000 Speaker 1: They don't want her mad at them as a state senator, 255 00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: and that's part of running as an office holder that's 256 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 1: a state senator. I think they're banking on her being 257 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:45,240 Speaker 1: a woman and the only woman in the field. But 258 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 1: Aaron Wright's has got all the momentum in terms of 259 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 1: grassroots support, money that he's raising. He went and worked 260 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 1: for Trump, Ken Paxton endorsed him as the candidate to 261 00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 1: replace him. That is the most like him. Chip Roy 262 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,240 Speaker 1: has been an anti Trump guy again and again and 263 00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: again and again, very openly, very vocally calling maga folks, 264 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 1: mf rors, talking about MAGA people in the worst possible way, 265 00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: seeking the impeachment of Trump. In January, as Trump was 266 00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 1: walking out the door in the election that had been 267 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: stolen from him, I know that Chip Roy doesn't think 268 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:25,600 Speaker 1: that anybody's going to remember that, but we are going 269 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:30,200 Speaker 1: to remember it. There are consequences to that. So anyway, 270 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 1: there's a couple other races that I'll give you my 271 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: opinion on them. This is Tracy Faird and Welcome to 272 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: the Lifestyles of the not so rich and famous are As. 273 00:16:41,160 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: I call it the Michael Berry Show. Get to it. 274 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:24,280 Speaker 4: Stevie Shadow, we talk about the ultimate breakup song. 275 00:17:45,760 --> 00:17:51,440 Speaker 1: Imagine breaking up with your band man. You came into 276 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 1: Fleetwood Mac with this person you share twenty four to 277 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:13,640 Speaker 1: seven music love. She said, what you you? She said 278 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,119 Speaker 1: he wanted to have sex seven times a day. I 279 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:21,040 Speaker 1: don't know how she arrived at that number. That's a 280 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 1: lot of sack. That's a lot of sack. We mean 281 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,200 Speaker 1: not at first. I don't think she was saying three 282 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,119 Speaker 1: days in. I think she's going, hey, how about we 283 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,040 Speaker 1: calm this down a little bit? Do I look like 284 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:46,920 Speaker 1: a rabbit? Imagine you were with this person twenty four 285 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:51,120 Speaker 1: to seven. You are, Oh, they're rolling a safe out 286 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,920 Speaker 1: of the next door neighbors. Please, I don't know where 287 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:55,360 Speaker 1: they're go on that Here it goes going to come 288 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: off the curb. 289 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 2: Pop. 290 00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:03,639 Speaker 1: That's a big safe right there. I know it's the 291 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,479 Speaker 1: only song credit with all over band members, but they 292 00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:08,200 Speaker 1: didn't all equally write it there. I don't have time 293 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:09,760 Speaker 1: for the story right now. Let me give my endorsements. 294 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:17,280 Speaker 1: There's not endorsements, my suggestions. Let's see Aaron Wright's for 295 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 1: Attorney General, Comptroller Don Huffines, Commissioner of Agriculture, Nate Sheets, 296 00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:28,719 Speaker 1: Railroad Commissioner, Bo French, Court of Criminal Appeals, Thomas Smith, 297 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:33,359 Speaker 1: and for separate seat, John Messenger, State Senator, Brett Ligan. 298 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 1: That's the Montgomery County area. State Rep. Dennis Goose Geeseman, 299 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:45,639 Speaker 1: State Rep. Polly Looper, State Rep. Scott Bowen, Court of 300 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:50,560 Speaker 1: Appeals Place three, Zach Gibson, Harris County Judge, Marty Langton 301 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: County Clerk Linda Santis, Dirty's sister Commissioner Precinct two, Richard Vega, 302 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:05,920 Speaker 1: Harris County Republican Party Chairman Don Hooper Propositions one through 303 00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 1: ten four, every one of them, I will have some 304 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:12,919 Speaker 1: precinct chairman. That's the lowest level. That's your person in 305 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:17,360 Speaker 1: your little in your neighborhood. But Mary Tally Boden, obviously 306 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,639 Speaker 1: I would endorse because she's done more for health freedom 307 00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 1: than probably any single person. That's why RFK reached out 308 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,240 Speaker 1: to her and has supported her efforts and a lot 309 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 1: of other people. But she's running for precinct chairman. I 310 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 1: think she'd be a good rabble rouser to have in 311 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:36,399 Speaker 1: the party hierarchy. The Republican party process should not be 312 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: a bunch of people gathering around lathering each other up 313 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 1: and telling them how great they are and giving speeches 314 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: and toasts to each other. It should be contentious. People 315 00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:52,439 Speaker 1: should argue. In fact, any deliberative body should be a 316 00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: frequent argument. Now again, this goes back to the nice neighbor. 317 00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:00,119 Speaker 1: The nice neighbor, the compassionate, kind, polite person is the 318 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:05,800 Speaker 1: death of America. This is why Muslims bully Christians in 319 00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: America so much. A one percent Muslim community can take 320 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:15,160 Speaker 1: over a Christian community because they're pushier, and the Christians 321 00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,239 Speaker 1: will keep turning the other cheek and being polite, and 322 00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: half of them will say, oh, it's not really happening, 323 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:24,720 Speaker 1: when it is. It's what they do. They just want 324 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: to keep loving people to death. We're just going to 325 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 1: love everybody as they insult us, ruin our schools, steal 326 00:21:32,280 --> 00:21:34,800 Speaker 1: our money. It doesn't matter. We're just going to keep 327 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 1: all love them and don't not love them, because that's 328 00:21:37,119 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 1: mean and rude and awkward, and can't we all just 329 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:47,400 Speaker 1: get along the process of politics and deliberative bodies. If 330 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,119 Speaker 1: you hear me say something, let it be this, and 331 00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:51,000 Speaker 1: it will bother some of you, It will make some 332 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:52,920 Speaker 1: of you you think I'm crazy, and maybe you don't 333 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:57,040 Speaker 1: agree with me. If you believe that what we want 334 00:21:57,119 --> 00:21:59,760 Speaker 1: is for everybody to just get along in the political process, 335 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 1: then you don't understand the political process our forefathers did. 336 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 1: That's why we have three branches of government instead of one. 337 00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:14,520 Speaker 1: That's why our chief executive, the head of the executive office, 338 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,480 Speaker 1: is not a king. He is a president with limited 339 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: powers overseeing the bureaucracy the executive branch. The Congress has 340 00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,679 Speaker 1: certain powers, including the power to remove him. But should 341 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 1: the Congress overstep their many powers, including the power to 342 00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: remove him, there is yet another body, a third, the judiciary, 343 00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 1: the highest body of which is the Supreme Court, that 344 00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:45,440 Speaker 1: can determine whether or not that was appropriate and everything 345 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,199 Speaker 1: else that comes through it. And to get onto that body, 346 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 1: you had to have the Upper Chamber of the legislative body, 347 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:57,840 Speaker 1: the law righting body, confirm you after you're nominated by 348 00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,679 Speaker 1: the president. The system is designed with what we learned 349 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,920 Speaker 1: as checks and balances. Let me tell you something. Checks 350 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 1: and balances means coordinated arguments, and there should be coordinated arguments. 351 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 1: People contentant. I don't like that they're always bickering. All right. 352 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:21,399 Speaker 1: How about this, you live next door to me. I 353 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,600 Speaker 1: want to put a fence in between us because I 354 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,359 Speaker 1: don't like looking at your ugly wife walking around in 355 00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: a bikini all day. You don't want a fence there 356 00:23:31,080 --> 00:23:35,600 Speaker 1: for whatever reason. What are we gonna do? Are you 357 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:39,199 Speaker 1: gonna win? Am I gonna win? It's just that simple. 358 00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:45,040 Speaker 1: How about this. Bob wants works for the government. He 359 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 1: wants to run a road right through your property. You 360 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 1: don't want to road through your property because you got 361 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: four houses on it, two of them with you and 362 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,400 Speaker 1: one of your kids, the other two with your other 363 00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,199 Speaker 1: two kids. This property has been in your family for 364 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:03,480 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty years. This is your dream, this 365 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 1: is your heaven, this is your sanctuary. But Bob with 366 00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: the government wants to build a road through there. So 367 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 1: which is it going to be? Are you gonna win, 368 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: or is he gonna win? Well, you've got enough acreage 369 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,280 Speaker 1: that for him to go around would cost fifteen times 370 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,320 Speaker 1: as much because now we'd have to go through the river, 371 00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,440 Speaker 1: had to build a bridge, we had to go around there, 372 00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:28,080 Speaker 1: we'd have a bunch of curves in it, which is dangerous. 373 00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:30,720 Speaker 1: Or we go right over your property. But you don't 374 00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:33,000 Speaker 1: want to go through your property. So what do we do? 375 00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,879 Speaker 1: Do you just sit quietly and give up your property? No? No, 376 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,400 Speaker 1: you fight that, and that is the process with fighting it. 377 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,400 Speaker 1: People email me all the time, and I've just I've 378 00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,680 Speaker 1: lost interest in arguing with them. People email me are 379 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:51,040 Speaker 1: all the time that a criminally charged defendant that their 380 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:56,560 Speaker 1: lawyer is making statements that the cops are bad and 381 00:24:56,600 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 1: the victim deserved it, and there guy's a really good guy, and. 382 00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 2: Babel, I'm so mad, A kn't see straight their lawyer 383 00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,919 Speaker 2: that bastard's lawyer is saying that his client is a 384 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,240 Speaker 2: good guy and the cops didn't do a good job 385 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,400 Speaker 2: and that the victim halfway deserved. 386 00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 1: It, and buckle A can't spared it. I think you 387 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: need to turn the TV off and go watch the 388 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:24,359 Speaker 1: Jetsons and Elroyd because this is how the process works. 389 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,400 Speaker 1: He's doing his job. 390 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 5: George Jackson, he's by now Jane. 391 00:25:55,720 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 1: What did they say his wife Jane? 392 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:08,240 Speaker 4: Jane? 393 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:13,040 Speaker 1: His wife instead of his wife Jane. I think they 394 00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:17,679 Speaker 1: didn't want to repeat that line. I think you're just 395 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 1: trying to mix it up. But I think it would 396 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: work better. Can you rewind about forty five seconds? Do 397 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,480 Speaker 1: the kids? I think it would. I think it would 398 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,720 Speaker 1: flow more naturally even if you did the repetition. 399 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 5: George Jackson's line. 400 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:31,920 Speaker 1: But yeah, should be his wife dame flow back. Think 401 00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:36,600 Speaker 1: about it is just the audio of that track without 402 00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 1: the visual. You think, man in post production, you should 403 00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 1: have brought that background down and brought the voices forward. 404 00:27:44,920 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 1: But because you have the visual, you're kind of reading 405 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:51,480 Speaker 1: along like subtitles. But when you just hear the audio, 406 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,359 Speaker 1: you're like, what's his daughter's name? I can't even hear it. 407 00:27:55,080 --> 00:28:03,239 Speaker 1: That's where the visual would have made a big difference. Oh, 408 00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 1: I got through everybody. I think it's important to vote 409 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 1: for Don Hooper as the Harris County Precinct Chairman Harris 410 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:14,640 Speaker 1: County Precinct Chairman, because I think we need change at 411 00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:17,480 Speaker 1: the Harris County Party. I don't have anything bad to 412 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,480 Speaker 1: say about the individuals involved there. I think they're nice people. 413 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:25,360 Speaker 1: I think they're good people. I think that you have 414 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 1: to be careful that you pick your fighter for the game. 415 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 1: I think that the days of the nice guy party 416 00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:35,640 Speaker 1: are over. We need people who are willing to fight. 417 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:40,240 Speaker 1: By God, we're up against Rodney Ellis. Okay, we're up 418 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 1: against Rodney Ellis. And I think having somebody who is 419 00:28:46,280 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 1: a really nice woman, who is very polite, is costing us. 420 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 1: I think the Harris County Party is not doing battle. 421 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 1: The problem is h let me go ahead and piss 422 00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:07,640 Speaker 1: everybody off. I don't care. Here we go Republican Party 423 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 1: heavy lifting, the actual grassroots is almost all women, almost 424 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 1: all women. George Strake told me this twenty five years ago. 425 00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:25,000 Speaker 1: Strake with a K like the school Strake Jesuit, good school, 426 00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:31,040 Speaker 1: great school. All the heavy lifting is done, all the organizing, 427 00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:35,000 Speaker 1: booking the speakers, keeping the finances, all of that, it's 428 00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 1: all done by women. Men do very very little of that. 429 00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:47,840 Speaker 1: And so some of those women who are very active, 430 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,040 Speaker 1: they go to the women's groups, they go to lots 431 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,840 Speaker 1: of meetings. Some of them that hang around a long time, 432 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,400 Speaker 1: they have lots of titles. They're the chair of this 433 00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:58,560 Speaker 1: and the vice chair of this, and they're in like 434 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 1: five different organizations and who about it, criticize. At least 435 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:06,560 Speaker 1: they do something, but their politics are often horrible. And 436 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,840 Speaker 1: this is a problem because everybody else's busy doing the 437 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: rest of their life and not doing anything political. It's like, oh, 438 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:15,640 Speaker 1: that's old Joan or Susie or Katie or Wendy. She's 439 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:18,960 Speaker 1: missed Republican. You know, she's always taken her picture with 440 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 1: Trump or Cruise or corn In or somebody. She got 441 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,120 Speaker 1: pictures with everybody. I mean, if you follow her on 442 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:30,600 Speaker 1: Facebook or Instagram, she knows everybody, and she does. She 443 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 1: goes to every gathering. They don't ask her about a 444 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 1: political don't ask her about a policy issue. She's pro life, 445 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,600 Speaker 1: by God, she knows it. That's fine. She's pro life 446 00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,680 Speaker 1: in pro Israel and pro Christian, and she loves America 447 00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:47,840 Speaker 1: and that's kind of her policy position. So you can 448 00:30:47,840 --> 00:30:50,360 Speaker 1: pretty much do anything you want as long as you 449 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 1: fit it into that. We're going to raise taxes and 450 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,480 Speaker 1: go to war in lots of places for twenty five 451 00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:01,360 Speaker 1: years because we love America. And she'll say yes of America, Yes, 452 00:31:02,040 --> 00:31:05,040 Speaker 1: and God help you if you criticize the person who 453 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 1: is doing the policy that is that way, because she's 454 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:13,280 Speaker 1: also very loyal and I can respect that. However, subtle 455 00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 1: nuance is lost on that individual, not because she's a woman, 456 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: but because that's her mindset. She keeps it pretty simple. 457 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,280 Speaker 1: She puts a lot of energy, not a lot of 458 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:26,560 Speaker 1: thought into it. And so we have a Republican Party 459 00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:31,200 Speaker 1: that is largely staffed by people like this. And so 460 00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 1: you start wondering, well, how come our taxes are up? 461 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,560 Speaker 1: How come we've got the Republican majority in the House 462 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,720 Speaker 1: and the Senate, We've got every Republican state wide elected official, 463 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:43,080 Speaker 1: and we never seem to get anything done that we 464 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,680 Speaker 1: want done. There's your reason. How Come we have the 465 00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:49,440 Speaker 1: Republican majority of the House and the Senate in DC 466 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 1: and the White House, and the majority on the Supreme 467 00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,200 Speaker 1: Court so they can't overrule our stuff, and yet we 468 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:59,120 Speaker 1: never get anything done. There's your reason. I call it 469 00:31:59,120 --> 00:32:03,000 Speaker 1: the Republican Party, the Bush Family, the Romney's. This is 470 00:32:03,040 --> 00:32:07,840 Speaker 1: your old fashioned, blue blood country club, bow tie Republicans. 471 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 1: These are Mike Pence Republicans. These are people that don't 472 00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:17,120 Speaker 1: like those gays. They love to go to war. They're 473 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,440 Speaker 1: against abortion. They keep it pretty simple. They love America, 474 00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 1: and they'll occasionally throw out we should balance the budget 475 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 1: and pray and school. But these the Maga Revolution was 476 00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 1: actually a punch in the face to this Republican Party 477 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:38,280 Speaker 1: by the grassroots. The problem is the grassroots doesn't control 478 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:42,600 Speaker 1: the parties. So you will notice that in some cases 479 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 1: the party is controlled by people who supported Niki Haley. 480 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,440 Speaker 1: The party is controlled by people who don't like Trump. 481 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:53,480 Speaker 1: The party is controlled by people who don't like revolutionaries, 482 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:56,800 Speaker 1: they don't like activists, they don't like Maga. So you've 483 00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:00,040 Speaker 1: got to make changes. Not to mention, you've got to 484 00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,160 Speaker 1: put a candidate in every judicial race. So when we're 485 00:33:02,160 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 1: out there busting our butt to get people elected, we've 486 00:33:05,120 --> 00:33:09,000 Speaker 1: got a Republican to defeat the Democrats. We need a fighter, 487 00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 1: a brawler. That's Don Hooper. Don Hooper's not going to 488 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 1: be the guy that comes in and give you a compliment. 489 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 1: He's going to be the guy that when he walks 490 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 1: in the room Rodney Ellis is going to go, oh, 491 00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,120 Speaker 1: that mfror right there.
