You know, I know Clovis or Clovis kind of supports
Present State all the time, right, I mean, the city
of Clobus is just kind of part of everything, right.

Speaker 9 (01:46):
Yeah, the Clovis Studio Association has been huge for us
for a long time, and really the uh the community
of Clovis has really started jumping in on boat with
our programs, especially in the past couple of years.

Speaker 6 (01:59):
This is basically your house, isn't it. The Clovist Rodeo
Grounds is where the Bulldoggers do it.

Speaker 9 (02:05):
Yeah, we rodeo there since I you know, I went
to college at Fresno State and we rodeoed there then.
And thanks to those guys over the clubst Radio Association.

Speaker 8 (02:14):
I know that place.

Speaker 5 (02:15):
I could back my hand.

Speaker 4 (02:16):
Now, hey, buddy, so you've been a head coach for
about eighteen yes, sir, So tell us about yourself, man,
let everybody kind of know who you are in your background.

Speaker 9 (02:28):
Well, I grew up in a Ransom family outside rad
and Kern County.

Speaker 8 (02:34):
I did that and grew up.

Speaker 9 (02:36):
After high school, I went and lived with a horse trainer,
and then I went off to college rodeo up in
northern California, and then I came down here to finish
a bachelor's degree at Fresnel State and I pro rodeoed
for all kind of while doing that and after college
for a little while, and then.

Speaker 8 (02:55):
Yeah, I kind of ended up here.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
So before Fresnel State, where were you, man.

Speaker 9 (03:00):
I was at West Hills Community College that's over in
King's County, right in Kalinga. Yeah, they've had a they've
had a big radio program there for a long time.
And I was an assistant coach there for Justin Hampton
and he helped me kind of pat helped me with
the road in the way and I'm coaching.

Speaker 4 (03:19):
You know, we have Justin Lawrence has been on our
show before I know he was wordialed with you and
and you said you were his best man at his wedding.

Speaker 9 (03:27):
Yeah, I think he regrets that because my best man
speech kind of hurt his feeling this a little bit.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
He's a he's a he's a good guy man. We
love Justin Man.

Speaker 4 (03:37):
He's been on our show a couple of times. He's
played a couple of our events. He's just a rodeo
cowboy that's turned musician.

Speaker 9 (03:44):
Huh yeah, or maybe a musician that was a radio cowboy.

Speaker 8 (03:48):
He's done both of them at a pretty high level.

Speaker 7 (03:50):
Man.

Speaker 3 (03:50):
He could sing too, you know. And and he don't
just sing, he writes his own songs, right.

Speaker 7 (03:56):
Yeah, that's pretty cool man.

Speaker 5 (03:57):
Yeah, he's definitely the real too.

Speaker 6 (04:00):
And like yourself, it's amazing that Clovis, California has such
local talent like this guy right here, educated, motivated, dedicated,
everything that's right with the world, sitting right here in
front of us, folks. This is why uh Fresno State
Bulldoggers are right behind first place, you know, in their

(04:21):
standings right now. Probably you're one of the most winning
coaches around. We're all darn lucky to have you.

Speaker 7 (04:27):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
Yeah, we are I mean.

Speaker 4 (04:30):
Central Valley Man, Central Valley is is is known for
its athletics. It's known for its competitive nature in everything.
Fresno State is is always being competitive in everything they
do football, basketball, baseball, rodeo and rodeo is kind of
you know, how more American can you get than rodeo
in mead.

Speaker 8 (04:50):
Well, it can't be any more American than Ethiopian rodeo code.

Speaker 4 (04:58):
Yeah right, I mean, just so you cannot beat a
good rodeo.

Speaker 1 (05:04):
Man.

Speaker 4 (05:04):
When you go out to a rodeo, the sunshine and
normally Sunshine got.

Speaker 3 (05:08):
All these cowboys out there riding these.

Speaker 4 (05:10):
Horses and and and and bucking and and and I
love the bull riding. That's my favorite. That's probably a
lot most people's favorite, right the bull riding. Uh but
what what specifically did you do man? When you when
you were rodeo and did you do everything?

Speaker 3 (05:22):
Or were you? Were you kind of specific in one thing?

Speaker 9 (05:25):
I grew up doing pretty much all the events, but
by the time that professional PRCA radios came around, I
kind of just stuck to the Saldron credit right on.

Speaker 4 (05:35):
Same as justin Okay, Yeah, so you know it's it's
it's fun to have guys like you on my show man,
because it's it's part of the Cimpral Valley.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
You guys are part of the Cimpral Valley.

Speaker 4 (05:48):
Man, You guys, you guys are where's at and you
helped so many people. Man, do you have any shoutouts
right now to any of your your buddies that that
rodeo with you.

Speaker 9 (06:00):
You know, I've told them you did a job or
whatever enough they don't need to hear it on the radio.

Speaker 10 (06:05):
But madam many words, right, Sorry, guys, I gotta tell
you the rodeo people and this guy right here, I
don't care if it's one hundred and ten degrees outside
and the sun is baking down.

Speaker 6 (06:20):
I don't care if it's raining, sleet, snow, a foot
deep in mud.

Speaker 5 (06:24):
These guys are out there doing it.

Speaker 6 (06:26):
It is cowboys, guys like this that built this country,
just like the farmers that fed this country.

Speaker 5 (06:32):
Well that's these are the guys that put us where
we are, right.

Speaker 4 (06:34):
You know, you're right, And that's kind of what Big
Hat Days kind of kick off.

Speaker 2 (06:38):
You know.

Speaker 4 (06:38):
It started believing in like nineteen thirty eight, and when
they started, it was for for cowboys and farmers, you
know what I mean. And it's morphed into this just
a big, giant street fair and it's actually the largest
street fair I believe in California, right.

Speaker 6 (06:54):
Definitely Central California. Then number one, this is it, one.

Speaker 3 (06:57):
Hundred and forty thousand, got all these great out here.
My gosh, this is just.

Speaker 4 (07:02):
If you haven't game, or if you haven't experienced big
at days, please make your way out here.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
There's booths everywhere, there's food, there's fun. It is just
a good time out here.

Speaker 4 (07:12):
And then you get to meet great people you know,
and and it's like like you who were here, man?
He it was a pleasure meeting man, Well my pleasure.
I mean it's it's it's fun meeting people like you.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
You know what I mean, It really is, man.

Speaker 4 (07:28):
And so I have one question for you, what makes
you get into coaching?

Speaker 7 (07:34):
It was just.

Speaker 9 (07:37):
Wanting to see, you know, the help that it does take,
because it is a full time job being a student,
and it's a full time job being an athlete, and
when you put those two together, it's a lot. So
anything that I can do to help the heritage of
Rodeo that we have, that we still have, anything that
I can assist while these athletes are get agree, I'm

(08:01):
all for.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
So do you know how many athletes, uh you know
in the rodeo in the rodeo scene, actually get full
time uh sponsors or do they get sponsors on that
or is it just strictly you know, they just go
to school and they rodeo.

Speaker 9 (08:19):
I know that a lot of them get sponsors, you know,
because it gets really expensive.

Speaker 8 (08:23):
Going down the road. Diesel's five dollars a gay one with.

Speaker 9 (08:27):
A trailer, So it does get expensive, and there's a
lot of there's a lot of companies out there that
do have some athletes that they want to forefront their
their brand.

Speaker 5 (08:39):
Big word there is athletes.

Speaker 6 (08:41):
A lot of people think that, you know, rodeo is
nothing more than a pony ride.

Speaker 5 (08:46):
Far from it.

Speaker 6 (08:48):
These guys are every bit the athlete that basketball football
and out here in central California, Hey brother.

Speaker 5 (08:54):
Good to see you. Yeah, oh my gosh, Forrest.

Speaker 3 (08:57):
Lauren, Nathan Mattsig, Right, Eric, how you doing buddy?

Speaker 6 (09:02):
Anyway, they're every bit the athlete that any other athlete is.
These people train at it, they work at it. But
in addition to it's not like you just go buy
a pair of sneakers and you get a basketball. To
do this, first, you need a horse. Now you need
a place to put the horse. You know, God help
you if your parents don't own ten acres and don't
have a facility for that. You know, you could spend

(09:22):
five hundred and six hundred and seve hundred bucks a month.

Speaker 5 (09:24):
Keeping your horse there. Every day.

Speaker 6 (09:27):
You're shoveling, you're picking hoofs, you're training, you're working the horse.
It's it is a huge commitment. And then once you've
done all that, you've paid for the lessons. Now you
get to get in your truck and drive halfway across
the state of California and spend three days living in
a trailer all to go out there for ten seconds
and lose and load back up and do it again,

(09:48):
and do it again. It's my hat is off to
all of those people because it's some very big highs,
some very big lows, but they stay in the game.

Speaker 7 (09:55):
I love them.

Speaker 8 (09:56):
Yeah, it's just like I said, it's a dream.

Speaker 4 (09:59):
What about I mean, do you see a lot of injuries,
you know in the rodeo life, And sure you do,
And I think it would be a little tougher on
the kids actually going to school, right, and then they
hurt themselves and kind of keep some out of the classroom.

Speaker 3 (10:12):
Is that what happens or you know?

Speaker 9 (10:13):
I actually I've had a couple of students just you know,
this semester that have had some injuries.

Speaker 8 (10:20):
Luckily they weren't huge injuries. But I had one kid
that tore something in his knee.

Speaker 3 (10:27):
Well boy, and was.

Speaker 8 (10:28):
In the class that same afternoon.

Speaker 3 (10:29):
What about scholarships? Do they get scholarships for Rodeo?

Speaker 9 (10:33):
And yeah, we have Actually we have a non profit
organization called Central Valley Rodeo that's helping with our program.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
That's awesome.

Speaker 9 (10:40):
Some friends actually been Jenko and his wife Becky Jenko
help with that and Ryan Dener And.

Speaker 4 (10:46):
See that's how you give shoutouts yeah on the air right.

Speaker 8 (10:50):
Well, you know, there's it takes a whole army.

Speaker 5 (10:53):
I'm just the front.

Speaker 8 (10:53):
I don't know why they picked my face as the front.
But there's so many people that help our program.

Speaker 11 (10:58):
Yeah.

Speaker 8 (10:59):
Eric Shardon with Old Town Kuwanas, he's been huge.

Speaker 9 (11:03):
Those guys have all been huge. But yeah, it's I'm
just a front. There's a whole army that I shouldn't
even get recognition.

Speaker 6 (11:09):
Well, that is the kind of leader that some some organization,
any successful organization has this one where the leader puts
the mission above himself and God bless you for that.

And last time I seen you, we were in Texas,

Speaker 3 (15:06):
An inauguration party. How fun was that?

Speaker 7 (15:09):
You know?

Speaker 13 (15:09):
I got it for all the listeners, you know, one
of the coolest parties.

Speaker 7 (15:14):
Uh, we ever had a crowd out. He's you guys,
came to me and said, you know, we need to
have an inauguration.

Speaker 13 (15:19):
Party for for Trump's inauguration. And I thought, I guess
we could.

Speaker 5 (15:25):
Look.

Speaker 7 (15:26):
We can sell that, I think, and I put a
price on it.

Speaker 13 (15:29):
And I thought, man, I don't know if anybody's going
to buy it. And I think the place holds two
hundred people, And within two weeks we had four hundred
tickets sell it out there. Oh my god, what are
we going to do? And that was a beautiful event,
wasn't it?

Speaker 5 (15:47):
Yes?

Speaker 3 (15:47):
It was.

Speaker 6 (15:47):
It was That's why they blocked off the sidewalk blocked off.

Speaker 13 (15:51):
Read it for that, Frank you, oh my god, we're
not going to be able to do that. You went
to the city because I don't want to deal with
the city, and you got that blocked off, and that
was just an amazing event.

Speaker 6 (16:03):
I mean, it was crazy when you drove by and
you saw the barricade, the arm security out there, the
strobe light's going and I don't know about the army set,
the balloons, the confetti, all of it.

Speaker 5 (16:15):
It was crazy.

Speaker 12 (16:16):
You know.

Speaker 4 (16:17):
I want to give the credit really to Frank because
he came to me. Actually, Keith, before we came to you,
and he said, hey, we.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
Had to do an auguration party.

Speaker 5 (16:26):
Man.

Speaker 13 (16:26):
You know, I usually got a great eye or you know,
just a great feeling of what's going to sell. And
I was apprehensive about that. I'm not really sure that this.

Speaker 7 (16:36):
Is going to go. Boy. Was I wrong? Man? You
guys just not.

Speaker 3 (16:40):
I kept telling you, I don't remember this, but I
kept saying, relaxed.

Speaker 10 (16:43):
Man.

Speaker 4 (16:44):
Probably the about two weeks before the event, the ticket's
going to go crazy. And I remember you kept calling
telling me, hey, man, I'm selling tickets like crazy.

Speaker 13 (16:53):
I was like Anakin because I said, you know, good thing,
a bunch of cops and firemen are coming to this
that because we're going to be over capacity. And then
we had DJs on both floors and then we did
what's this Trump song?

Speaker 6 (17:08):
Ym Just everybody was up doing the Trump dance.

Speaker 5 (17:14):
It was in tuxedos.

Speaker 3 (17:15):
That was a lot of fun, man, That was good stuff.

Speaker 4 (17:18):
And so the biggest thing that I thought I took
back from all that, man, was just the camaraderie that
everybody had there. Everybody had a good time. There was
nobody that was crazy, nobody got stupid. Uh, it was
just a good time. People ate dinner, and and we
just had an overall good time and it was a
good feeling.

Speaker 13 (17:38):
It was I just had, you know, from a month,
I had great people feedback, people saying wow, man, that
was the event, and I thank you guys for it.
I made a couple of bucks on that, so not questions, hey, man,
and it's all about me.

Speaker 7 (17:54):
I like I like to pay the medicine bill.

Speaker 6 (17:56):
And I think you are the content of an event.
Anytime we've done a fundraiser, anytime we've had any kind
of event at your venue, you are the one that
turns the switch and you come alive.

Speaker 5 (18:10):
And you make it happen.

Speaker 7 (18:12):
And we all know it's not cheap vodka that I drank.

Speaker 3 (18:15):
Hey, what's next for Crawdaddies? Man? What next event?

Speaker 7 (18:18):
I know you guys probably saw my post on Facebook.

Speaker 5 (18:22):
Yeah.

Speaker 13 (18:23):
Look, I am sixty seven years old and I've been
working there seven days a week for.

Speaker 7 (18:30):
A long time.

Speaker 13 (18:31):
I love the place, I love my employees, and I
found the perfect person to take over. I'm not leaving, Okay,
I hope I can explain this. It's going to remain.
Crawdaddy's a guy named Colin Wyrick, who is a powerhouse
in the lumber industry has bought it. He loves the

(18:52):
building and he wants to stay at the building when
he's in town.

Speaker 7 (18:56):
But I'm going to remain as general manager. We're going
to conte can you with.

Speaker 13 (19:01):
All our great shows, our our our staff is going
to still remain there.

Speaker 5 (19:06):
So nothing changes from the customer's perspective.

Speaker 7 (19:09):
So I've you know, I just.

Speaker 13 (19:13):
I'm so happy because Colin also owns multiple restaurants on
the Central Coast.

Speaker 7 (19:18):
So he knows, he knows what he's getting into.

Speaker 13 (19:21):
It's not going to be any shock to him, and
it's it's going to be a real smooth transition and
hopefully allow me where I don't have to work seven
days a week. If I want to go see my
grandkids for a couple of days, I don't have to
panic about it.

Speaker 7 (19:35):
I can do it.

Speaker 4 (19:36):
You can actually start going having like dinner and stuff
like that out there.

Speaker 7 (19:39):
I don't care about that.

Speaker 4 (19:41):
I'm just saying, Man, every time I've ever asked you
to go do something, man, I can't.

Speaker 3 (19:45):
Man, I gotta do this.

Speaker 7 (19:46):
Hey, I gotta tell you. I don't usually even come
up to this.

Speaker 13 (19:49):
I had no idea what I was getting into my god,
what's the intendancy here in this one?

Speaker 4 (19:54):
Well, I hear there's about one hundred and forty thousand
people to come.

Speaker 13 (19:57):
Okay, you know, it's immediately come into my mind. Why
isn't this happening in front of my restaurant? I know
I could, I could serve a lot of these people.

Speaker 4 (20:10):
You know, it first started Keith with you know, it
was to honor the cowboys and the farmers in the area.

Speaker 13 (20:17):
You know, we're.

Speaker 3 (20:23):
The we're the bread basket of the world here, man,
and and things like this.

Speaker 4 (20:28):
When you come out and you enjoy this, and you
look around and you really think, you know what, I'm
glad I live here in the Central Valley. You know,
there's a lot of people moving away, and I get it.
You know, it's tough, uh, you know, with all the
taxes and everything like that, but you know what, it's
it's still a great place to live.

Speaker 5 (20:47):
Man.

Speaker 3 (20:47):
You know, we're two.

Speaker 4 (20:48):
Hours from the mountains, two hours from from the beach.
You know, it's it's it's They don't call it Central
California for nothing, right.

Speaker 7 (20:57):
We're a bastion of sanity here, man. I wouldn't you know.

Speaker 13 (21:02):
I love the valley I'm people say, oh, guys, tell
you Fresno.

Speaker 7 (21:07):
You know, I wouldn't. I wouldn't trade living in this
area for anything in the world.

Speaker 13 (21:13):
That one time the great Frank Sinatra said, where's the
greatest place to live? And he was sitting around all
his friends and they were saying to Paris, New York
and blah blah blah, and says, now, the greatest place
to live is with your family and friends. And I've
made so many relationships, I could never leave this area yet.

Speaker 5 (21:29):
Yeah, I'm one hundred percent with you.

Speaker 6 (21:31):
And if you think about it, Big Hat Days started
in nineteen thirty eight.

Speaker 5 (21:35):
Okay, what was going on in nineteen thirty eight?

Speaker 7 (21:36):
Have I been?

Speaker 13 (21:37):
Man?

Speaker 7 (21:37):
I don't really know what that was going on.

Speaker 13 (21:39):
This is awesome, But think about it for a minute, folks,
if you've never been here, this is incredible.

Speaker 7 (21:45):
All these people here, you've got to come check out.

Speaker 3 (21:47):
And it's off the church.

Speaker 5 (21:48):
But while the world was going crazy, just in the run.

Speaker 6 (21:51):
Up to World War two, people were here having celebrations, here,
being good to one another, here, enjoying life. When we've
seen the world go up, down, up down, sideways and everything.

Speaker 5 (22:03):
And guess what, right here in Clovis, California.

Speaker 6 (22:06):
Everybody's getting along, everybody's being kind to one another. This
is we are surrounded by the most wonderful people you
can possibly imagine.

Speaker 4 (22:14):
Don't know about you, guys, but but when that's right,
that's right. We got the crowd kind of Jordan in here.
And but you know what, Susan, we're done here.

Speaker 7 (22:22):
Man.

Speaker 3 (22:23):
I'll tell you what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna get
some kettle corn.

Speaker 7 (22:25):

some guy walks by with it looked like chips, like
chips or something.

Speaker 5 (22:35):
Potato chips on a stick.

Speaker 3 (22:37):
Yeahack, perfectly, potato chips on the stick.

Speaker 13 (22:39):
You don't have to worry about tariffs. They're all making
their kits.

Speaker 4 (22:45):
So I told Frank, I go, man, those look good,
and he goes, you know anything, Fried's good?

Speaker 3 (22:48):

Speaker 4 (22:49):

it right now, and when we have it played, we're
gonna we're gonna play it on our show, and it's

(23:10):
gonna kind of start bringing our show in.

Speaker 3 (23:11):
But I just want to let everybody know that Frank
wrote this.

Speaker 4 (23:14):
So uh, if somebody says, if somebody says it's crazy
or whatever, it's Frank's fault.

Speaker 5 (23:21):
I don't care, you know what, not my fault.

Speaker 6 (23:23):
One of the good things about being shelf employed is
nobody can fire me.

Speaker 5 (23:26):
I really don't care.

Speaker 13 (23:28):
Frank the man of many talents. He's a great contractor.

This has been going on I believe for over eighty
years out here in Clovis. I've been coming to it
for about thirty and it's amazing. I think this is
one of the biggest crowds I can remember, probably in
the last ten years. So if you are looking for
something to do this weekend, make your way out to
Old Town Clovis. We've got a number of vendors. I
really tip my hat to the business organization of Old Town,

(39:09):
but specifically the Chamber of Commerce here in Clovis.

Speaker 17 (39:11):
It makes this thing happen every year.

Speaker 4 (39:13):
Yeah, hey, Nathan, you're absolutely right, man, it's absolutely one.
It's it's morphed into this just this giant, ginormous street fair, right.

Speaker 17 (39:22):
Oh, it's it's more than that.

Speaker 18 (39:23):
I mean, this last two days, this particular event brings
more people to the Central Valley than any other single event.
So again, in years past, we've seen close to one
hundred thousand people that are out here over this two
day period.

Speaker 17 (39:38):
And what's neat is.

Speaker 18 (39:39):
As we make our way to the end of the month,
we have we have the Rodeo. So there's lots of
stuff going on in Clovis in April.

Speaker 3 (39:46):
Hey, Nathan, Yeah, it's it's absolutely wonderful.

Speaker 14 (39:49):

Speaker 18 (39:55):
So I'm on the Board of Supervisors. I represent the
fifth District. I've been doing that. I'm in my third
term right now. Absolutely love the mountains, the lakes, the
city of Clovis, Southeast Fresno, all the areas they get
to represent, Pray their Aubrey, the Squad Valley region all
the way up to Hume Lake. But I'm in the
process of running for state Senate. And for those of
you who are frustrated by food prices, gas prices, insurance prices,

(40:19):
all the fires we continue to have in our beautiful
mountain areas, I want to go to Sacramento fight alongside
my good friend David Tongypa who just got elected to
the Assembly last year, and it makes something happen. So
there's a lot of work that needs to be done
and I'm ready to go up there and fight.

Speaker 4 (40:32):

just send a seat twelve, that is correct.

Speaker 18 (40:36):
So Shannon Grove an amazing senator that we've had the
pleasure of serving us here in Clovis for two terms.
But she's turned out she's going to be running for
the Bard of peopleization, and so it will be an
open seat.

Speaker 6 (40:47):
I got a question for you going up there, You
and we all know you're going to hit some headwinds.

Speaker 5 (40:54):
They're not going to roll out the red carpet for you.

Speaker 6 (40:56):
I've seen the way they're treating Alley, I've seen the
way they're treating Dave It.

Speaker 5 (41:01):
How are you going to deal with that?

Speaker 7 (41:02):
Well?

Speaker 18 (41:02):
So one thing, the way that you get anything done
in Sacramento is with numbers, and so the Republican Party,
the Senate Caucus, the Assembly caucus need to be focusing
on getting more Republicans elected. So that's gonna be one
area that I'm going to be focusing on because I
can go up there with the greatest ideas, but if
we don't have the numbers to get things done, nothing
will happen. So I'm committed to getting more Republicans elected

(41:23):
to the Senate and Assembly.

Speaker 4 (41:24):
Beautiful, you know, and it's nice to see such great
people running for these seats. You know, we just had
Michael Marher. I guess he's running against you too, right
in the same seat.

Speaker 18 (41:34):
Well, I really don't look at it as running against me.
He has ideas, I have ideas, But we're both Republicans
and at the end of the day, Republicans need to
we need to focus on conservative messaging. Really, most of
the state agrees with the issues we have, who we
have to do a better job communicating those. So we're
running together for the same.

Speaker 5 (41:50):
Seat, Awsom. And what is the eleventh commandment?

Speaker 17 (41:55):
Do not say anything ill of another Republican?

Speaker 5 (41:57):
Yeah? Never never.

Speaker 6 (41:58):
The other side seems to know that we kind of
undermine ourselves in that regard, And honestly, you guys.

Speaker 5 (42:07):
Seem like both wonderful people. Absolutely, I put an r
behind it. I'm behind it.

Speaker 3 (42:12):
Yeah, you know, and and it really is. They're both
great people.

Speaker 4 (42:16):
You see him fighting all the time for conservative values,
for the American way of life. Nathan Man, thank you
very much for coming on, for being here, for doing
what you do.

Speaker 19 (42:26):
Man.

Speaker 17 (42:26):
You know what, Jody, I appreciate all that you do.

Speaker 18 (42:28):
I appreciate power talk, all your listeners out there who
are working hard trying to get other Republicans elected. So
we have to stick together. We have to remember too,
that we have the winning message. And all we need
to do is be out there recruiting folks, talking to
our neighbors, and that's how we change this state.

Speaker 3 (42:42):
Oh man, awesome, I love it. I love it. I
love it.

Speaker 7 (42:44):
I love it.

Speaker 4 (42:44):
Hey, guess what, man, we have Michael Waher waiting in
the wings here and we're gonna have him on and
we're gonna talk to him real quick and get his
his little two cents in here.

Speaker 3 (42:57):
And Michael, how you doing, buddy?

Speaker 5 (43:00):
S going on?

Speaker 14 (43:00):
Mike?

Speaker 7 (43:01):
I'm doing good.

Speaker 3 (43:02):
I'm doing really good, you know, Michael, Yes it is.

Speaker 4 (43:05):
And then you know, like I said, you know what
I love to do here on the Jody Jones Show
is is share the conservative values, man. And that's kind
of my pitch is bringing back you know, conservative you
know values and the American way of life through the
conservative way of life, you know.

Speaker 3 (43:23):
And that's just that's what I love to do. That's
what I want to do.

Speaker 4 (43:26):
And we've did some things together, Michael, and so tell
us about what you're doing now, man.

Speaker 19 (43:32):
Absolutely, For those who don't know where got my name
is Michael Maher, I ran against Jim Costa.

Speaker 3 (43:38):
The Super Close race.

Speaker 19 (43:40):
Super actually speak of their house, Mike, Johnson sent me
an email. I was invited back to do new member orientation.
Oh nice for the twenty twenty four election. Unfortunately, Uh,
they just kept counting ballance and kept counting ballance, and
and here we are. But I think God has a
plan for each and every one of us. So my
time in the Millet Harry, and my time in federal

(44:01):
law enforcement, and then just family here in Hagon in
the valley, growing up Bakerfield, Larry County, and here in
Fresno County.

Speaker 7 (44:08):
It's been.

Speaker 19 (44:10):
Quite a lot over the last forty plus years on
this earth to find myself now running for state Senate
with the.

Speaker 4 (44:19):
Why I think, Michael, I think I think you're gonna
find your home somewhere, man, because you're you're too good
a person not to And I know that your values
are the American values, man, and the conservative values. And
and I know you want to fight for you know,
for the valley and the communities and the communities you
live in. I know that's your number one thing. And

(44:41):
I know you want some safe streets for your kids,
for our kids. And I know the Lord will will
find you a place, man. There's no doubt in my mind.

Speaker 19 (44:50):
Hey, man, and I appreciate that, and that that is
a lot of the reason why I'm continuing to do
what I'm doing. It is for our community. Just like
serving in the middle of or in law enforcement, getting
out there and actually, my boots have hit the pavement,
my hands have been to the construction site's doing the work,
and now let's get to Sacramento start fixing some of

(45:11):
these issues.

Speaker 6 (45:12):
Yes, no, that sounds great. I got one question for you.
And there are two schools of thought for a conservative
who goes to Sacramento to serve his people.

Speaker 5 (45:21):
One school of.

Speaker 6 (45:22):
Thought is to be a goal along, get along game
show host Namby Pamby, and maybe they'll like you. The
other is going there and be a bulldog. I've seen
what happens to tongue pot, seen what they're doing to Ali.
You get in there, how are you gonna do it?

Speaker 19 (45:38):
This isn't the time to go along to get along.
And that's not something I ever did when I was
in the military. It's not something I did in law enforcement.
When I want up on national security matters or even
against mars La Truca.

Speaker 7 (45:50):
You know MS.

Speaker 3 (45:50):
Thirteen, right, the cartels, those are the people.

Speaker 19 (45:54):
It's easy to just go along, get along, keep your
head down and not do anything.

Speaker 3 (45:57):
But that is not what we need.

Speaker 7 (45:58):
We need leaders, and we have a leader like that
right now.

Speaker 19 (46:02):
I was up at California and Sacramento for the Republican
Convention just a few weeks ago, and they interviewed me
for a TV spot and we talked about Ali Messino.
She had produce, and she turned around and just said,
I hope hopefully that was growing in California because she
has a sensition.

Speaker 3 (46:19):
Mato thrown at her right, Tomato throwing everybody protesters.

Speaker 19 (46:21):
But not only is she an attorney and a businesswoman,
she's up there fighting.

Speaker 7 (46:25):
And what do they have to do so effective?

Speaker 19 (46:27):
They remove you from your committees to try to silence you,
and that hasn't done anything.

Speaker 3 (46:32):
You know.

Speaker 4 (46:32):
It's funny because they're proven that a lot of these
protesters are paid protesters. And I love how Elon Musk
is saying, you know, let's find out who's paying these
protesters and go after them.

Speaker 3 (46:43):
That's how you stop this.

Speaker 7 (46:46):
You get the money one hundred percent.

Speaker 19 (46:48):
That's something I did as a specialation with the FBI
on the national security side as well as law enforcement.

Speaker 7 (46:53):
What you always hear these charges.

Speaker 19 (46:55):
There's reco charges how they went after capone. It was
tax evasion, not being them mofter. And you have to
be creative on how you get these people. And that's
where you have to be sacramented. You have to be smart.

Speaker 7 (47:06):
But now you're gonna do that.

Speaker 6 (47:08):
They're not gonna get all these useful idiots if they
don't give them a stipend.

Speaker 5 (47:11):
Yeah exactly, and yeah, these are just dummies for hire
and basically what they are.

Speaker 19 (47:16):
These are when you see the clock at twelve, what
happens all the protesters are going against Elon Musk and Tesla.

Speaker 7 (47:21):
What do they do?

Speaker 5 (47:21):
They leave?

Speaker 11 (47:22):
They leave scause they're paid and it's a job.

Speaker 3 (47:24):
How funny is that?

Speaker 5 (47:25):
I wonder what time their break is.

Speaker 6 (47:26):
It's like twelve fifteen, Okay, they stop burning things, Okay,
twelve twenty five they start burning things again.

Speaker 4 (47:30):
You know, I think they're gonna be thinking twice though,
because they're actually catching on camera.

Speaker 3 (47:34):
They're actually prosecuting them though, one hundred percent.

Speaker 19 (47:36):
And that's one of the great things. I don't have
an electric vehicle, but one of the interesting things. And
there's YouTube channels called Wambam Tesla Cam out there that does.
What all they do is every week they pump out
of videos on all of the tacks that happen on
Tesla's or accidents because it's it's dash cam twenty four
to seven built right into the car.

Speaker 6 (47:54):
Right. What do you think Greta Thunberg's thinking while she's
watching them do that.

Speaker 5 (47:57):
She must be conflicted, right, she.

Speaker 19 (47:59):
Has to be like, this is everything I stood for,
or at least I was told by my puppet masters
to stand for, is electric vehicles and.

Speaker 7 (48:07):
Save the economy.

Speaker 19 (48:08):
But I don't know what to do, and I always dook.
Blackrock is the biggest shareholder of Tesla right now, not
Elon Musk. So who are you really attacking? And most
of those people are actually the people that were not
supportive of this administration, and I think of those only backfiring.
There's so many people leaving the Democrat Party because they
said the Democrat Party is not the party that they

(48:28):
were a part of ten years ago and fifteen years ago,
and a lot that's why California is shifting. What happened
in the Central Valley. All of the Republicans standing have
been saying, what it's for change?

Speaker 3 (48:38):
Well, you know what I'll tell you what.

Speaker 4 (48:40):
It's refreshing to see guys like you, Michael, like Nathan.
It's absolutely refreshing to see you guys actually running for
these positions and seeing Ali Mesito and David tange Paul
winning their assembly seats. It is, it is inspiring and
it just feels good. Now, Michael, thank you very much

(49:01):
for coming on that.

We really appreciate it.

Speaker 5 (49:03):
Always good to see you.

and you see what's happening today, it just feels good.

you love him or hat him, he is America first.

Speaker 3 (49:23):
And I love the way.

Speaker 4 (49:24):
He He's a chess player, playing chess with playing checkers
with these people.
