It's still the same thing. My 175 00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 2: dad had to take time off, pick up extra shifts, 176 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 2: he had to do all sorts of things. When I 177 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 2: traveled for sports to other cities. He never ever missed. 178 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 2: I never looked up in the stands. He wasn't there. 179 00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:38,320 Speaker 2: I never looked out in the audience. Every academic award, 180 00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:44,120 Speaker 2: every you name it. He never missed a thing. Now, 181 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 2: I'm not trying to compromise anybody out there or convict 182 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,680 Speaker 2: anybody out there who can't I understand it. You're a 183 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:52,640 Speaker 2: long haul driver. You can't be there for every Everybody 184 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 2: has to do what they can do. So because of that, 185 00:10:55,400 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 2: I go to every event for my kids, right and 186 00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,199 Speaker 2: I watch, and I can tell you there is a difference. 187 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 2: There is a difference between being a mommy and a daddy. 188 00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:12,760 Speaker 2: I don't care what you think, and I don't care if 189 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 2: you're a single dead I don't care. There's a difference. 190 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 2: And let me tell you what it is. It's like 191 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 2: the difference between the nurse and the doctor. 192 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 6: There is. 193 00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:33,840 Speaker 2: There is God has given to women. So we have 194 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 2: to understand how many things are completely natural that are 195 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 2: outside our control. God instilled in women a caring nature 196 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 2: that men are just not capable of, not to that extent. 197 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 2: I believe every child needs a mother and a father, 198 00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,079 Speaker 2: and I believe the roles are different at different part 199 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:02,800 Speaker 2: different points in their lives. But there is something about 200 00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:09,280 Speaker 2: the way women look at child rearing that is so 201 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 2: different and so deep. Does every school board need to 202 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:20,680 Speaker 2: be all mommies across the state. Yes, No, I don't 203 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,840 Speaker 2: know that that's necessary. But I will tell you that 204 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:28,360 Speaker 2: the old days of some guys in the community who 205 00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 2: were using that hisd's board, you know what HISDS board 206 00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 2: has been people that wanted to then run for state 207 00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 2: repor state senate, People that were stealing from the district, 208 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:43,560 Speaker 2: taking bribes from people with engineering contracts. Half of them 209 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 2: don't have kids or haven't had kids in a long time. 210 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 2: They don't give a damn about the school. They're there 211 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,680 Speaker 2: to self deal and build a political career. And that's 212 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:55,320 Speaker 2: what was wrong with HISD for so many years, is 213 00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:58,720 Speaker 2: it was a political post for people to feather their nest. 214 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,600 Speaker 2: Same of HCC, same of metro board. That's what it 215 00:13:03,679 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 2: was for years and years and years. And you know 216 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 2: where all this happened. You can trace all this, folks. 217 00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:15,439 Speaker 2: You can trace this to COVID. And a thing happened, 218 00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:20,720 Speaker 2: which was the schools said you can't come to school. 219 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 2: Everybody go home. Okay, But I thought that people who 220 00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 2: learned at home were creepy. Remember the homeschoolers, they're not socialized. 221 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 2: They're all so creepy. By the way, that's a lie. 222 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 2: Some of the most well adjusted kids I've ever met 223 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 2: in my life homeschooled. Chance McLean's wife homeschooled their kids 224 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,920 Speaker 2: for several years. Some of the best adjusted kids you'll 225 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 2: ever meet in your life. And I've seen this again 226 00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 2: and again and again and again. But back to the 227 00:13:54,720 --> 00:14:03,320 Speaker 2: mommy issue. During COVID, you had the kids at home 228 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 2: on their laptop, and so mom stay at home. Moms, 229 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:11,120 Speaker 2: we're still doing their things. So they're doing the laundry, 230 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,839 Speaker 2: keeping one ear on what's going on, and they're realizing 231 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,280 Speaker 2: you've got complete freak shows in some of these classes. 232 00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:21,360 Speaker 2: Some of you understand this, not all of you do. 233 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 2: So let me state what I shouldn't need to state. 234 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,840 Speaker 2: I don't think every teacher is a whack job. I 235 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 2: don't think they're all lesbians that want to murder men. 236 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 2: I don't think they're all men that want to be women. 237 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 2: I don't think they're all you know, left wing progressive nuts. 238 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 2: There are plenty of wonderful teachers in the classroom, men 239 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 2: and women. I do know that, Okay, I'm talking about 240 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:51,280 Speaker 2: those that don't qualify as that and the terrible effect 241 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:54,840 Speaker 2: they can have on our children, teachers and administrators, and 242 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,960 Speaker 2: I look, it's just like deportation, nothing personal, but you 243 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 2: got to go. This is our chill room we're talking about. 244 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 2: So the mommies started while they're cooking and doing laundry 245 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,280 Speaker 2: and cleaning and doing the things they do around the 246 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:13,320 Speaker 2: house to keep the house running. And that is sacred 247 00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:17,440 Speaker 2: to me. My wife works harder at home now being 248 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,280 Speaker 2: retired than she did as a lawyer at a downtown 249 00:15:20,280 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 2: office building. And she'll tell you that because it never stops. Well, 250 00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,160 Speaker 2: they started overhearing what was going on, and then they 251 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 2: started going to the schools and going, hey, my kids 252 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 2: in fourth grade. Well, first they went to the school 253 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 2: and said miss Smith has assigned a book about why 254 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 2: Cindy has two daddies, and it has a paragraph in 255 00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 2: here on butt sex and how butt secks between people, 256 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 2: and then Cindy's half getting involved, and then we got 257 00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 2: this going on and this going in, and then there's 258 00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:59,600 Speaker 2: another book about drag Queen's coming to the library, and 259 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 2: then there's this, and I have a problem with that, 260 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,320 Speaker 2: And they said, go home, bitch, this is the school. 261 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 2: You don't belong here. And mommies were all of a sudden, going, 262 00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 2: wait a minute, you can't talk to me. You can't 263 00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:17,000 Speaker 2: treat me this way. So they said, all right, your bosses, 264 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 2: administrators and teachers are the school board. I'll go to 265 00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,080 Speaker 2: the school board. That's parents like me. When the parents 266 00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 2: find out what's happening, they'll have a problem with this. 267 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 2: Do I sound stuffed up? Ramo, I do? You weren't 268 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 2: gonna say anything. I feel like I sound stuffed up. 269 00:16:33,520 --> 00:16:35,080 Speaker 2: I don't want people to have to hear me sounding 270 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 2: stuffed up. No, I don't want you to get in 271 00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:42,320 Speaker 2: here and look. So these mommies and daddies at this point, 272 00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:46,840 Speaker 2: but mostly mommies, went to the school board and they said, hey, 273 00:16:47,480 --> 00:16:50,720 Speaker 2: two problems. Number one, my wife was disrespected at the 274 00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 2: school number two. Here's this book. I'm going to read 275 00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 2: to you from this book. And the school boards would 276 00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,840 Speaker 2: shut them down. They would direct the police officer take 277 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 2: them out. And then the National school Board Association, led 278 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:10,160 Speaker 2: by this crazy Randy Winegarden, the Biden administration opened FBI 279 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:14,080 Speaker 2: files on parents that had gone to the school board. 280 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,400 Speaker 2: This is January sixth all over again. So now you're 281 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:21,280 Speaker 2: making criminals out of mommies and daddies. And this is 282 00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:24,359 Speaker 2: just brewing and brewing and brewing and brewing. And you 283 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,680 Speaker 2: know what, if it was a job, they would have 284 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:29,199 Speaker 2: walked away from it. If it was a neighborhood, they 285 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 2: would have moved. But the hill these parents, particularly women, 286 00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 2: will die on is their children. You want to know 287 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 2: why we need school vouchers because these people should be 288 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:43,920 Speaker 2: able to get out of the school and go somewhere 289 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,719 Speaker 2: else if they want. But what happened is this has 290 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 2: been brewing for four years now, and I man, I'm 291 00:17:50,280 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 2: so fired up and I'm so excited about this. The 292 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 2: Senate Majority Leader vote is going on as we speak. 293 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,879 Speaker 2: You may know before I do. We're not a breaking 294 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:15,920 Speaker 2: news show for a number of reasons, one of which 295 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:21,439 Speaker 2: is while we're doing the show. I have to receive 296 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:26,639 Speaker 2: emails from our team of researchers and contributors, and I 297 00:18:26,680 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 2: can't always. I am not. Some of you are, and 298 00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 2: that's fine. I'm not a person who gets excited to 299 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,160 Speaker 2: be the first to get the news of anything. I've 300 00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 2: never been. In fact, I think local news stations could 301 00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:48,560 Speaker 2: get over this exclusive on our station tonight. This happened. 302 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 2: By tomorrow, everybody will have it. And that's why I 303 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 2: don't get news alerts all day long, because you could 304 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,879 Speaker 2: never have. You never be able to stop and process 305 00:18:58,040 --> 00:19:00,160 Speaker 2: and think. And I think a higher level of thinking 306 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,000 Speaker 2: requires that you can't have a chiron scrolling in your 307 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:12,280 Speaker 2: brain at all times. But in any way, Politico is reporting. 308 00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:21,320 Speaker 2: Let's see if I can find this that Political reports 309 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:24,479 Speaker 2: that Republican senators are quite upset at the effort on 310 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:28,480 Speaker 2: social media to promote Rick Scott for Senate Republican leadership. Quote. 311 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 2: Senators do not take kindly to having an army of 312 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,879 Speaker 2: social media trolls attack them. All right, let me just 313 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,600 Speaker 2: say this in as clear as terms as I can. 314 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:40,679 Speaker 2: I've said it a million times, but I want you 315 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 2: to hear it. Now that we've won the path to 316 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:50,679 Speaker 2: rebuilding our republic does not just mean we're going to 317 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:54,119 Speaker 2: have to trample Democrats. I want you to understand this. 318 00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 2: There are a lot of Republicans in the way, and 319 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,399 Speaker 2: one of the greatest challenges is the naivete of your neighbor, 320 00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:10,119 Speaker 2: the niceness of your neighbor. Well, Michael, what has John 321 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:14,440 Speaker 2: Cornyn done wrong? I thought he was a Republican. Well 322 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 2: he claims to be. Well, I just don't understand you're 323 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,640 Speaker 2: so angry at him. Yeah, he sells us down the river. 324 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 2: He ensures that Obamacare and bad bills, the Green New 325 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:31,080 Speaker 2: Deal get passed, and at the last minute, once the 326 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:36,040 Speaker 2: vote is assured that the Democrats have their majority, he 327 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 2: authorizes a few Republicans who are not up or they're retiring. 328 00:20:40,960 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 2: It's a big deal. You'll get a Republican who's retiring, 329 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,560 Speaker 2: like an Adam Kinsinger or Liz Cheney, and they'll go 330 00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:50,480 Speaker 2: act like Democrats because they're not up for vote. Again. 331 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 2: You don't see Democrats becoming conservative Republicans once they're on 332 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,960 Speaker 2: their way out. But boy, you other than Mansion, you 333 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:02,040 Speaker 2: will see Republicans who will show their true colors. Hey, 334 00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 2: you bastards, can't vote me out office anymore. So guess what, 335 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,479 Speaker 2: I'm going to give the government all your money and 336 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 2: tax you into bankruptcy because that's what I've wanted to 337 00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 2: do all along. And besides, I'm taking all your money 338 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 2: to give it to special interests because that's who's going 339 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,160 Speaker 2: to hire me the second I walk out the door. 340 00:21:21,359 --> 00:21:23,679 Speaker 2: Truth be told, they got a handshake agreement long before that, 341 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,200 Speaker 2: and they, by the way, the special interests have already 342 00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 2: hired their children, their wife, their campaign manager. You just 343 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,520 Speaker 2: keep an eye on a congressman or a senator when 344 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:41,919 Speaker 2: they leave office where they land, who hires them, Defense industry, 345 00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:47,520 Speaker 2: big AG, big pharma. You look at who pays their 346 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:51,240 Speaker 2: bills once they're gone, and it will answer for a 347 00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:56,480 Speaker 2: lot of things. But the path to restoring the Republic 348 00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 2: means we're going to have to trample some Republicans as well. 349 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:05,400 Speaker 2: Nice enough people, they're people we worked for. I mean, hell, 350 00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,440 Speaker 2: I busted my bunt to get the Bush family elected. 351 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:15,679 Speaker 2: But let's be honest. They're part of the problem and 352 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 2: people are onto them. That's why George W. Bush got 353 00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 2: his ass kicked multiple times riding on his four wheeler 354 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:30,000 Speaker 2: on the canyons. I'm gonna be attorney general, but mostly 355 00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,879 Speaker 2: I'm gonna be out here on my four wheeler patrolling 356 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 2: the border. Oh we believe you, w we believe that 357 00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 2: Jeb's son is going to be out of here on 358 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:41,320 Speaker 2: his four wheeler. And they had him all made up. 359 00:22:41,400 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 2: He had his flannel shirt and his jeans. They hadn't 360 00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 2: weathered his jeans. If they had had had time, they 361 00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 2: would have acid washed them or something. And they had 362 00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 2: the boots that they had just bought for him, but 363 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:56,200 Speaker 2: they were low boots. I'm fired up about Trump's selections. 364 00:22:56,240 --> 00:22:59,679 Speaker 2: Pete he Seth is the most excited I've ever been 365 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,640 Speaker 2: about a cabinet secretary in my life period. End of story. 366 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,960 Speaker 2: Christy know him at Department of Homeland Security. Look, I'm 367 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:12,159 Speaker 2: not criticizing Trump personally. It is our job, even with Trump, 368 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:18,479 Speaker 2: to question, be critical, offer suggestions. When you don't do that, 369 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,040 Speaker 2: he can't be the best president he can be. Am 370 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:23,080 Speaker 2: I going to help him succeed? Yeah, you better believe it. 371 00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:26,000 Speaker 2: Don't ever worry about that. Christy know him is in 372 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:30,800 Speaker 2: over her head Department of Homeland Security. Is Customs and 373 00:23:30,840 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 2: Border Patrol. You talking about the border, You're talking about 374 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 2: the airports? Is she going to be able to step 375 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 2: in and gut tsa and tell him to stop button 376 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,800 Speaker 2: diddling us. Is she gonna be able to step in 377 00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,760 Speaker 2: with the border. That's why Tom Holman is the borders are, 378 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 2: which is not a cabinet official. It's just a you know, 379 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:53,679 Speaker 2: bully pulpit. He's going to get the work done. Do 380 00:23:53,800 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 2: I think Christy know Him is the right choice for that? 381 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 2: Absolutely not. Do I think she should be traveling the 382 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,119 Speaker 2: country with Corey Lewandowski from the campaign leading everyone in 383 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:04,400 Speaker 2: the country to think they're banging. 384 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:04,639 Speaker 6: No. 385 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,720 Speaker 2: I think it's terrible optics. I think it's horrible. I 386 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 2: think it may be worse than optics. Do I think 387 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 2: Little Marco should be Secretary of State? No, I think 388 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,879 Speaker 2: it's a horrible choice. And mark my words, I know 389 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 2: y'all are all fired up. Y'all are all fired up 390 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 2: about Rex Tillerson. You were all fired up about Pompeo, 391 00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 2: and you were all fired up about Millie Millie. Oh, Michael, 392 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 2: you can't criticize Millie. He's an American patriot. Milli worked 393 00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 2: harder to keep Donald Trump from getting re elected than 394 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 2: probably anybody in this country. And MILLI worked harder as 395 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 2: the insidious little cancer that he is from within the administration. 396 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 2: John Bolton, I told you I don't trust John Bolton then, 397 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 2: and I don't trust John Bolton now, and most of 398 00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 2: you came to understand why that was the case. He's 399 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:57,159 Speaker 2: a backstabber, oh, Michael, John Bolton's he's a warmonger. John 400 00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:00,920 Speaker 2: Bolton and Lindsey Graham get together in a circle, jerk 401 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:03,280 Speaker 2: and wank off to the idea of your son's being 402 00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:08,480 Speaker 2: murdered in Afghanistan in Iraq. Fact, Little Marco is a 403 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:11,119 Speaker 2: terrible choice for Secretary of State there. I said it. Now, 404 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 2: we got to replace the Senate seat which DeSantis is 405 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,320 Speaker 2: going to put an anti Trump person in there. Watch this, 406 00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:22,240 Speaker 2: it's coming. He's got his pick already. Well. Today is today. 407 00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:28,919 Speaker 2: It is Wedness Day, November thirteenth. The Astrodome Conservancy is 408 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 2: rolling out their new plan for the Astrodome today. I 409 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:38,239 Speaker 2: don't know what it is, but I can guarantee you 410 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:43,600 Speaker 2: it will be a bunch of boosterism. We'll hear tale 411 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:50,400 Speaker 2: of Judge Hawphin's how he had the vision for the Astrodome. Awesome. 412 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:55,880 Speaker 2: I love that. I love Houston's history. I traveled all 413 00:25:55,920 --> 00:26:00,080 Speaker 2: around Houston speaking for years at business groups to tell 414 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:01,919 Speaker 2: the history of Houston and how I came to be 415 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 2: in a position of leadership because I loved the history 416 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:11,640 Speaker 2: and I wanted to continue. Now. That wasn't the Sheila Jackson, 417 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:17,720 Speaker 2: Lee Rodney Ellis, Sylvester Turner Houston. That was a Houston 418 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 2: of people who were selfless, who loved the city, who 419 00:26:23,119 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 2: were pioneers, who were entrepreneurs and risk takers, but who 420 00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 2: had an incredible sense of no bless obliege. That was 421 00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:41,879 Speaker 2: downtown interests who cared deeply about the region and people 422 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:47,000 Speaker 2: who came here from all over and were welcomed into 423 00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:53,960 Speaker 2: the social, financial, religious institutions and never expected to stay. 424 00:26:54,600 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 2: You ask a lot of people I came here in 425 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,159 Speaker 2: eighty nine. I always asked me, when'd you come to Houston. 426 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:04,439 Speaker 2: Nobody planned to come to Houston. People planned to go 427 00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:08,440 Speaker 2: to la or New York because that was glamorous, they thought. 428 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,320 Speaker 2: Turns out they got mugged. But nobody planned to come 429 00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:17,800 Speaker 2: to Houston from Bogalusa. They came here because there was 430 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 2: a job, and once they got here and they started 431 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:25,159 Speaker 2: the job because nowhere else was hiring. None of the 432 00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:28,480 Speaker 2: other great cities were hiring. And once they got to 433 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 2: Houston and they got hired, and they realized, wait a second, 434 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 2: on my income, I can afford a little house close 435 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:42,480 Speaker 2: enough to work that I can get to. And then 436 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:48,200 Speaker 2: they met a nice Houston girl with Southern values, or 437 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:53,520 Speaker 2: maybe she was a Louisiana girl or Mississippi girl or 438 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 2: Alabama girl or Florida girl who came here, and then 439 00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 2: they start Dayton and guess what. Back then, anyway, you 440 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,399 Speaker 2: could move around. It was the only big city in 441 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:11,600 Speaker 2: America you could You could travel around. The traffic wasn't crippling, 442 00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:17,399 Speaker 2: you weren't paralyzed at all times, and you could afford 443 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 2: a home. And then you start moving up in your job. 444 00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,280 Speaker 2: Before you know it, you got a kid. You could 445 00:28:22,280 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 2: put them in the good public schools and before and 446 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 2: then and then you kind of move out to the 447 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 2: suburbs and you sort of leave Houston, Houston behind. But 448 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:33,879 Speaker 2: you tell people you live in Houston, but really you 449 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:35,760 Speaker 2: live in Cyprus, because then you don't get shot at, 450 00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 2: you don't fall asleep to gunshots every night. Or the 451 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:44,800 Speaker 2: Woodlands or Conroe or Spring or Texas City or League 452 00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 2: City or friends would or Crosby or Katie fullsher because 453 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 2: that's where people really live. Nobody wants to live in 454 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:58,640 Speaker 2: the City of Houston. You live in the villages or 455 00:28:58,680 --> 00:29:01,720 Speaker 2: one of these communities. Somebody says they live in Houston 456 00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:05,760 Speaker 2: and they're inside the loop. If they're not getting shot 457 00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:07,400 Speaker 2: at every day, they'd live in bel Air and West 458 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,720 Speaker 2: u which are their own communities. And that's just the 459 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,160 Speaker 2: way it is. It's not good, but that's the way 460 00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 2: it is. I've seen the belly of the beast from inside, 461 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 2: and it's ugly. It's nasty. I mean, the fact that 462 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 2: Sylvester Turner was elected to the eighteenth Congressional district is 463 00:29:24,480 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 2: all you need to know. What are we going to 464 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:32,000 Speaker 2: follow Sheila Jackson Lee up with? Could we possibly do worse?

Because unless I can personally verify it, I 480 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 2: can't say it out loud. And that's not a complete 481 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 2: idiot and it wouldn't be fair. We have a big audience. 482 00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:52,040 Speaker 2: I can't just go off willy nilly screaming stuff. Okay, 483 00:30:52,040 --> 00:30:54,480 Speaker 2: I do, but not all the time. I like to 484 00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,719 Speaker 2: I like to keep it limited a little bit. So 485 00:30:57,800 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 2: what we're seeing right now is a Senate majority leader 486 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:10,240 Speaker 2: vote between Rick Scott and let me pull up my numbers. 487 00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 2: You've got fifty three senators that are going to be voting, 488 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 2: but you only have Ted. By the way, Ted Cruz 489 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 2: came out this morning and said he's supporting Rick Scott. 490 00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 2: They are peeling away votes from John Thune to go 491 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:33,880 Speaker 2: to Rick Scott, and that's what I want, don't get 492 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:37,680 Speaker 2: me wrong, But you've got to beat Corner. The number 493 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:41,120 Speaker 2: one job is to beat Corny. The number two job 494 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:45,640 Speaker 2: is to get Rick Scott in. But you cannot let 495 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,560 Speaker 2: Cornyan win. And I will tell you what scares me, 496 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,560 Speaker 2: because this is the way they operate. What scares me 497 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:58,479 Speaker 2: is Thoon had the lead, so they peel away his 498 00:31:58,600 --> 00:32:03,160 Speaker 2: votes and give them to Scott. Cornan was only six 499 00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 2: votes behind. So you get this race where you have 500 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 2: Thun and Scott with parody and Cornyan Harry's to day. 501 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:19,000 Speaker 2: Cornn is an evil, devious bastard who is responsible for 502 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 2: why he's responsible for the problems in government. It's people 503 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 2: like him and Paul Ryan that are the neighbors Dick Cheney. 504 00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:34,080 Speaker 2: This is that whole deal. They are clever enough to 505 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:37,720 Speaker 2: peel some voters off of Thune, give them to Scott 506 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,240 Speaker 2: to get Thune out of the lead, and put John Corny. 507 00:32:40,240 --> 00:32:44,160 Speaker 2: He doesn't care how he wins, understand that if he 508 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 2: comes out the winner. And see, by the way, this 509 00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 2: is not transparent. This should all be done in public. 510 00:32:51,600 --> 00:32:52,760 Speaker 2: You're elected officials.
