We're happy talking about everything.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
We're not wearing that goody we God that's been gone.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Damn good morning. It is hard to imagine how much
Captain Kangaroo meant to me as a kid. My goodness,
don't you wish you could get that excited over something again.
(01:50):
I can remember my grandma mother dropping me off my
grandmother's house and I go in when that show would start.
I mean it was like that show was programmed for you.
You sit Indian style and front of the TV, none
of your joints or bones, your ligaments ached, and you
said that you have your pajamas on. Oh, man, here
(02:14):
we go, shat by quiet, everybody is over for me. Man,
I was exciting. God, LEI that was exciting. Those were
good times right there, now, that was good times. It
was on this day in nineteen twenty two that Judy
Garland was born Francis ethel Gum in Grand Rapids, Minnesota.
(02:38):
A few years later, her family would move to California
and she would become a child star, playing Dorothy in
the Wizard of Oz when she was believe it or not,
she was seventeen at that time. What a great movie.
The story behind the ten Man, just so many, so
(02:59):
many greats where he's behind that movie. How many times
you think you've seen that movie?
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Remore?
Speaker 1 (03:05):
You never seen the who way through? Oh my guess
like Rodney Carrington, the pastor said, I don't believe I'd
told that. I'd go home today and watch the whole thing.
Advise you I really would. Born on this day in
nineteen sixty eight. Bill Burr, this is Bill Burr is
an acquired taste, and I don't always agree with him.
(03:26):
I'll tell you it's almost like he doesn't want you
to like him. He's got to do something. Ever, so
he's got to throw you off, because otherwise he feels
like he's pandering if everybody likes him. Here he is
making a very compelling argument that it's not men that
have failed the w NBA, it's the feminists.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Do look at a wnbade. Nobody in a WABA got COVID.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Good.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
They've been playing in front of three to four hundred
people a night for a quarter of a century. It's
a male subsidized league.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
We gave you a league.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
None of you shut up?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Where are all the feminists?
Speaker 5 (04:09):
That place should be packed with feminists, the faces painted,
wearing jersey, slashing a d, going nuts like the guys don't.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Then the upper deck with their big beer.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
Tu are you on the jump on trot am I
doing it?
Speaker 1 (04:33):
You did?
Speaker 5 (04:34):
None of you, None of you went to the games,
none of you.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
You all you sailed them, not me, not men. Women
failed the w NBA.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Ladies, ladies, name your top five all time w NBA
players of all time, park Nate five w NBA team
naked WNBBA team.
Speaker 6 (04:58):
And your fe you can't do it.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
You don't give off about them.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
They play night in a night out in front of nobody.
It's a tragedy, right, and then meanwhile you look at
the Kardashians. They're making billions. You know, those Real Housewives shows,
They're making money hand over fists, because that's what women
are watching.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
The money listens. You don't want to watch this shop.
You watch the ship.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
They just shoot it over there, drowning these horse and
money purses and shoes and botoks.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
It's just raining. It's raining money.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
So the money listens.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
You'd rather watch that Real Housewives, a bunch of women
just tearing.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Each other down.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
Well, maybe that's why your husband laught too. That's why
your husband laught.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
That's why you can't I can't pitch.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
Buy your a. That's the message you said. We would
rather watch that and see a bunch of women come
together as a team and try to achieve.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
A common goal.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
We would rather watch him actually destroy each other.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
No, no, no, And.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
You come back and you yell at guys like and
it's like, all right, so let me get this straight.
I have to buy you a drink, stop the axe
murderer from coming through the window, and I have to
watch WNBA games for you, Like, where are you going
to pick up your end of.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
The couch.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
On this day. In two thousand and four, Ray Charles
died at the age of seventy three of liver disease.
Considering what he did to his body, seventy three is
a pretty good run, I mean, honestly, if the stories
are to be believed. And it was on this day
in two thousand and three at the great Luther Vandross,
who died far too young, released the album Dance with
(07:03):
My Father was released. It was two months after he
had suffered a debilitating stroke that would eventually take him down.
The album went to number one in America and the
title track won the Grammy for Song of the Year,
but he would die two years later July first, two
thousand and five. Room, let's let that take it to break,
and you just think about how much you loved your daddy.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
And dance with my mother and me, and then spend
me around up fatherlessleep. Then up a stasy would carry
me and I knew for sure I was loved.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
If I could get another chance, another walk the dance
with him, I'd lace that would know how love love
(08:11):
to dance with my father again.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
We're going to be changing the name of the Gulf
of Mexico to the Gulf of Michael Berry, which has
a beautiful It is amazing to me. It's important that
you understand this. How many politicians give as their opinion,
(08:37):
not what they believe to be true, but what they're
grinding an acts they're angry at someone. Louis Gohmer, for instance,
was the US congressman from Texas and he ran for
attorney general. They put him up to run against Ken Paxton,
(08:57):
and there was a runoff. He didn't make it. He
came out in fourth place with seventeen percent of the vote.
And here he is repeating the same old talking points
that Ken Paxton is corrupt because of you know, accusations.
Speaker 7 (09:15):
He told a lot of lies. As his wife now knows,
he lied a lot. He's quite corrupt, quite corrupt. From
all the things I know. I think he's the most
corrupt attorney general we've had in my lifetime.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Bitter, not a good look. Bitter. How's he corrupt because
he charged him with crimes for which he was found
not guilty. Why don't you finish that sentence? Why don't
you say he's just as corrupt as Donald Trump, who
(09:55):
had what thirty four felonies? Why don't you say he's
got an egen Carol out there like Trump did. Why
don't you say big Letitia big Tish, the Attorney General
of New York, accused him, charged him with mortgage fraud.
Turns out she was doing it herself. Or what about
fat Alvin Bragg, the prosecutor in New York who brought
(10:20):
charges against Trump. What about when they went through his
wife's panty drawers? What about fat Fannie down in Atlanta
and her boyfriend, hot dog Nathan? What about Jack Smith
out of the Department of Justice? What about all the
people they sicked on Trump and all the felonies they got?
Was he corrupt? Louis? Was he corrupt?
Speaker 8 (10:42):
Fact is.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
A lot of these politicians have visions of grandeur, like
sugar plums dancing in their heads. They're going to be great,
They're going to be grand, and when they are defeated,
they are bitter. Oh horror, they ever bitter. Congressman Brandon
gil was on Fox News with Laura Ingram when he
was asked what he knew about Ken Pashton that the
(11:06):
Republican establishment did not when he endorsed him over John
Wayne mccornyn.
Speaker 9 (11:11):
You endorse Paxton before President Trump came out and endorsed him,
despite the fact that not one sitting Republican senator endorsed him.
What do you know that the GOP establishment didn't at
what age thirty two?
Speaker 1 (11:25):
All of thirty two that you are, well.
Speaker 10 (11:28):
What I know is that the people of Texas are
looking for somebody who's going to fight for them in Washington.
You know, right now, it's not good enough to say
the right things, to say I'm going to do this,
or we should do that. What the people want, what
the Texas GOP voters want is somebody who's going to
do the right thing, who's going to get to Washington
and who's actually going to get the Save America Act passed,
(11:49):
who's not just going to talk about it, Who's going
to do whatever is necessary, including if that means using
a talking filibuster, for somebody who is going to do
what we said we'd do last cycle, which is MASSDEPORTI patients,
not talk about amnesty, which has been a long history
amongst some in our party.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
That is not what the people of Texas want.
Speaker 10 (12:07):
They want somebody who is going to stand up for
conservative values and do it in a way that gets results.
And that's exactly what Ken Paxton's.
Speaker 8 (12:15):
Going to do.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Sean Spicer used to be White House Press Secretary's been
a guest on the show many times. I always thought
he was pretty smart when it came to media relations
and things, but he really nailed it. He was on
the huddle when he said, all these people in media
who keep calling Paxton's defeat of Cornan an upset, they
(12:40):
don't understand what happened. Folks. I have said this all along.
I was telling people, Paxton beats Cornyn. How can you
say that the polls showed that corn wins. Poles don't vote,
That's just it. How do movies that have all this
money spent on them flop? You know, they do tests.
(13:01):
You understand they do tests. They don't just roll it
out and go, hey, let's see if y'all like it.
They've been testing that thing. They've got the best and brightest,
the smartest people to hand you a movie that you
will love, and they get it wrong. And then you
got this movie, The Obsession, that was made for seven
hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Somehow they got it right.
(13:27):
How is it that the establishment gets it so wrong
so many times? Because they don't know anybody who drives
a truck. They don't know any textans.
Speaker 8 (13:36):
I'll tell you that I was actually shocked at the
number of media folks that led their broadcast this morning
by saying a huge upset in Texas.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
You watch the huddle.
Speaker 8 (13:45):
That wasn't a huge upset that was predicted, and you know,
we talked about the margin of victory.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
So I got to be honest with.
Speaker 8 (13:52):
You, this is an indictment as far as I'm concerned
on anyone who thought that was going to be close
that that just tells you how bad your sources are.
This was this was that Paxson was going to win
it regardless. The Trump endorsement just shows you how powerful
it is go down ballot. By the way, you mentioned
this also, Rachel, that Chip Roy, the attorney general rights there.
He also lost every MAGA endorsed candidate one last night
(14:12):
in Texas. And we keep seeing this pattern and this
is good as gold. When the President endorses you in
a primary, that's worth a crazy amount and I don't
know that you can overcome it in almost any circumstance.
Now it's growing more and more strong, which is just fascinating.
Here we are in a second term, and President Trump's
power over the party is growing, not waning.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Paxon was on Fox News when he said, there's some
comedic value to this, but I think it's actually true.
He said he doesn't think Tellafrico could win even in California.
This guy is so much wackier than even Gavin Man.
That's saying something.
Speaker 11 (14:53):
This guy doesn't represent Texas values. He doesn't even I'm
not even sure he could get a looted in California.
His views are so radical exposed. Now look, he's trying
to walk them back right now.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
You know, his his vegan campaign views, his saying the
American flag was a complicated it's a complicated symbol, is
talking about God being non binary, and pushing men into
women's sports.
Speaker 11 (15:16):
I mean, the list goes on. And this isn't just
me making this up. This is what he actually said.
And now he's complaining that I'm quoting him with this
with his strange, weird comments.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
So California, you know, California was once the most visited state,
the most tourists visited. Businesses were opening up there. You know,
I got to read this. I'll get to it in
the next segment. I saw a uh oh, my goodness.
(15:56):
I saw a stat on where where people are moving,
what states they're moving to.
Speaker 8 (16:04):
I'll what a.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Maroon to Michael Verry, show what anom I told you
all wanted to share with you about the changes in economics.
That was short on time there. I saw a report
from the Economist, and this is going to blow your mind.
(16:33):
It is the net change in number of company headquarters
from relocations in only five years from twenty twenty to
twenty twenty five. And they were moving. Three of the
five that were that had the biggest losses were out
(16:55):
of California, one from New York, one or and then
New York and then Chicago. It's by city, sorry, And
three of the five states they're moving to where Texas
and in Arizona and Tennessee. Net change in company of
a number of company headquarters from relocations five year period
(17:17):
twenty twenty twenty twenty five, Dallas gained almost one hundred.
San Francisco lost, actually one hundred. Austin gained about it's
a it's on a grass. It's hard to tell about
(17:38):
fifty five Austin. Those are high tech companies moving there.
Los Angeles lost about eighty. Houston gained about twenty five.
New York City lost about twenty five, Phoenix gained about
(18:03):
twenty two twenty three. Chicago lost looks like about ten.
San Diego lost about eight. Nashville gained about twenty three.
Three cities Houston, Phoenix in Nashville gained not quite twenty, well,
(18:27):
twenty five for Houston, let's say twenty five for three.
Let's round them up. Houston, Phoenix in Nashville all gained
about twenty five. Three California cities lost San Diego, La
in San Francisco, San Diego because it's not what it
(18:51):
used to be. Los Angeles lost almost one hundred. I
saw the other day a picture it was the only
thing that's been rebuilt after the Palisad fires, and it
was literally a framed out It was one framed out wall.
It was like a faux wall in a furnit in
a decor store, just so they could hang stuff on it.
(19:16):
They burned that city to the ground, figuratively and literally,
and they won't rebuild. They got a wacko mayor, Karen Bass.
How bad did things have to get that they would
stop voting for a whack chop and they may steal
good grief. San Francisco. I know that when a lot
(19:40):
of people hear San Francisco, they just think of a
bunch of homos. I'm gonna tall something. San Francisco is
one of the great American cities. It's a dentity as
a gay city. I don't know when that happened. There
was Harvey Milk and all that, but that was in
the seventies. But San Francisco was historically a great American city.
(20:03):
I've quoted many times a line that I love Tennessee
Williams who said there are only three great American cities
New York, San Francisco, and New Orleans. Everything else is Cleveland.
San Francisco was a great save. My wife and I
used to love to go out to San Francisco. Our
favorite Jewish deli was there. We go down and eat,
(20:24):
go down to Gerard Deli Square. It was great food,
it was an interesting vibe. She's such a wonderful said,
great architecture. Look at it now, what's it known for?
Speaker 5 (20:39):
Now?
Speaker 1 (20:41):
A TV reporter doing a story out in the field
about the number of smashing grabs, and while they're doing
the story, they're van right there, smashing grab people attacked
in the middle of a story about how bad crime is.
Liberalism has failed again and again and again. Eventually, the
(21:08):
strong are going to destroy the weak, and the weak
are going to be the white liberals. It is suicidal empathy.
The only thing that keeps powerful people from destroying weak
people is that other powerful people will stop in and
(21:30):
defeat them, And it is that threat of power against them.
When you remove that threat and you say no, no, no,
have your way with these weak white liberals, they will
and they have, and that's where you end up. That's
exactly where you end up. And the left will call
(21:54):
that culture wars. What enforcing the law closing the border?
Houston Chronicles quote unquote, business columnist Chris Tomlinson says that
Republican voters have chosen culture war candidates over Chamber of
Commerce conservatives. Well, let me tell you something. The Chamber
(22:14):
of Commerce crowd wanted wide open borders so they could
have cheap labor. The average American was tired of being raped, beaten, robbed, murdered.
So you want to call that culture war, call it
what you want. You're so out of touch it's embarrassing
(22:36):
for you. Or if you had any sense, it would be.
Speaker 12 (22:39):
Republicans are out, culture warriors are in, and political gridlock
is here to stay. Republican primary voters sent a clear
message in the runoff elections.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
They picked the most extreme.
Speaker 12 (22:54):
MAGA candidates without regard for expertise. Ken Paxton trounced US
editor John Cornyn, an old school conservative who cared about governing.
Paxton won by touting his support for President Donald Trump,
including his attempt to overturn the twenty twenty election. MAGA
May's Middleton defeated Chip Roy to win the nomination for
(23:17):
Texas Attorney General. Middleton is a political neophight, but he's
also the heir to an enormous oil fortune. He promises
to tear down the separation of church and state, as
well as target LGBTQ rights. Then there's Beau French, another
scion of Texas oil money. He won the Republican nomination
(23:39):
to become an energy regulator on the Railroad Commission by
suggesting that we not denaturalize and deport one hundred million
US citizens. One thing unites all these candidates a hatred
for people who are not like themselves. While MAGA voters
may find that attractive. Most Texans are worried about inflation,
(24:02):
their jobs, and their economic future. Democrats are trying to respond,
and polls show James Tallerrico has a chance against Paxton,
but many Texans will never vote for a Democrat. If
Americans want a better economy and government, they will need
to start compromising and voting for candidates who care more
(24:25):
about governing than poster.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Diamonds are forever, and so with the Michael Barry. Remember
that President Trump goes on Fox News with his daughter
in law, Laura, she's married to Eric, when he called
(24:49):
tall Rico a transgender. This way, He's aid, they won't
change men playing in women's sports. They won't. You know
this transgender, this guy running in Texas. He says there
are six genders. He wears a mask all the time.
You know he's a disaster candidate. I'll tell you.
Speaker 8 (25:05):
I think Ken Paxson's gonna absolutely just destroy him.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
I think that's fair to say.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
So.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
A former Democrat spokesman named exoche Ty, he know Josa
the first letter is an X, and that's like the
I think that's the old Aztec spellings. Those are hard
to figure out how to pronounce how to pronounce like
jabier can be ja.
Speaker 13 (25:32):
V I e R, but it can be x A
v I e R, in which case the X can
be a ha. But it can be used different ways.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
The X can be like an H. So I don't
know if this is so cheaty. This might be so cheaty.
He know Josa. Anyway, he's a former Democrat spokesman and
he was trying to defend the Democrat whack job. Wait
till you learn more about this in Texas named James Talafrico.
(26:04):
He's on CNN, and now we know why he's a
former spokesman.
Speaker 14 (26:10):
He is an eighth generation white Texas male who loves meat.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Okay, so let's unpack that. He's an eighth generation white
male who loves me. So he's real effeminate. So people
are saying he's gay. That's why Trump calls him transgender.
(26:40):
There was a rumor out there that from sixth grade
to ninth grade he dressed as a girl. And you
know there's gonna be a lot of rumors between now
and November. If it's true, we'll get verification. I have
no reason to know that it's true yet, but that
play that again, if you would please.
Speaker 14 (27:00):
He is an eighth generation white Texas male who loves meat.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
So what the Democrats are doing is the Democrat they're
desperately trying to win over voters on identity politics. Except
instead of now saying he's gay, he's black, it's a woman,
it's a transgender, they're trying to win over, if not
(27:29):
white males, in at least white females. Hey, we'll play
identity politics with y'all. Look, we found one who looks
just like you. And they say so, then they start
with he's an eighth generation. First of all, there was
a primary, a congressional primary here where the candidate who
(27:54):
was leading and one very big Trump supported I supported,
named Alex Meeler, was run against an individual who said
he was a fifth generation Texan. Great, wonderful. And I
got into an argument with some friends of mine over this,
and they said, she was born in California, So that's interesting.
(28:17):
Trump was born in New York. How does that matter?
And they started getting really really into American born people
who were not born in Texas. But Democrats have never
been big fans of the who was born in Texas thing.
(28:38):
This is the party of illegal aliens. So for them
to be saying he's an eighth generation You realize how
far back we're going there. They are rooting him in
the very Texas past that they have called evil so
(29:00):
many times. But what they're doing now rather so for
all these years they've said, you white Texans are devils,
and they keep losing elections. So now they go, we
got us a white Texan vote for him. It's very stealthy.
(29:21):
You gotta give them credit. They're trying to dupe people
who say, well, that person's a communist and she's a
black woman. I think I won't vote for huh. Okay,
all right, she's a communist, she's a black woman, and
she tells me I'm a devil and I need to die. Okay,
(29:45):
So we'll get a communist who's a white male. Okay,
he's an eighth generation white Texas male. See what they're
saying is that this is what y'all I wanted to remember.
We're giving it to you. But again with the identity politics,
(30:07):
we don't want to play identity politics. We'll vote for
a black male Wesley Hunt if he says and does
the right things. We'll vote for a female Alex Meeler
if we like what she stands for. He is an
eight generation white Texas male. What kind of male is that?
(30:32):
What does that mean? My argument on the what generation
you are as? If that's something to make that's great.
I mean, there's nothing wrong with being proud of how
many generations you've been in Texas. But it seems weird
like Davy Crockett came to the Alamo from Tennessee. In fact,
(30:56):
all the major figures, almost all the major figures at
the Alamo we're not from Texas, such as Texas was
at that moment, Bowie, Travis Crockett. They came from other places.
Sam Houston came from Tennessee. I've always been kind of
curious when someone, as I said, I want to be clear.
(31:19):
I think it's something to be proud of that you're third, fifth, seventh, whatever,
generation Texan. I think that's cool. I think that's neat.
I brag about it too. I don't know what generation
am I don't I don't. I just don't know because
I've never thought to look it up. I don't know
when our people ever weren't in Texas, but I've never thought,
(31:41):
but there are people, especially in Texas. Oh the seventh
generation Texan. Okay, all right, and what does that? What
does that mean? Well, it's fine that you're rooted in
the place you're you're committed to it, Okay, great, But
when you're arguing that that is the basis of upon
which you're better than the next guy, that's always kind
(32:03):
of creeped me out. But the last thing she says
there is he's an eight generation white Texas male who
loves meat. He actually came out and said our campaign
is vegan. Because this is what he does. He picks
up the ladies. And that's what makes him frightening as
a potential senator is whatever's the hot new thing. He'll
(32:26):
get caught up in that. And so since he said
he was vegan. Remember we're the state where Oprah Winfrey
lost a lawsuit over attacking the beef industry. She can't
show her fat face in the state of Texas because
of it. And here he comes out, we're gonna be vegan. Hello,
(32:46):
I'm an eight generation white taxis maw. We're going to
be vegan. And now it's so sad. It's like a hostage.
He's holding with a napkin, he's holding a piece of barbecue.
He's eating it. He's looking at Hi. How I follow
Texans I'm from I'm wearing a Texas flag shirt and
you notice
Speaker 8 (33:12):

Speaker 3 (01:02):
We're happy talking about everything.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
We're not wearing that goody we God that's been gone.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Damn good morning. It is hard to imagine how much
Captain Kangaroo meant to me as a kid. My goodness,
don't you wish you could get that excited over something again.
(01:50):
I can remember my grandma mother dropping me off my
grandmother's house and I go in when that show would start.
I mean it was like that show was programmed for you.
You sit Indian style and front of the TV, none
of your joints or bones, your ligaments ached, and you
said that you have your pajamas on. Oh, man, here
(02:14):
we go, shat by quiet, everybody is over for me. Man,
I was exciting. God, LEI that was exciting. Those were
good times right there, now, that was good times. It
was on this day in nineteen twenty two that Judy
Garland was born Francis ethel Gum in Grand Rapids, Minnesota.
(02:38):
A few years later, her family would move to California
and she would become a child star, playing Dorothy in
the Wizard of Oz when she was believe it or not,
she was seventeen at that time. What a great movie.
The story behind the ten Man, just so many, so
(02:59):
many greats where he's behind that movie. How many times
you think you've seen that movie?
Speaker 4 (03:04):
Remore?
Speaker 1 (03:05):
You never seen the who way through? Oh my guess
like Rodney Carrington, the pastor said, I don't believe I'd
told that. I'd go home today and watch the whole thing.
Advise you I really would. Born on this day in
nineteen sixty eight. Bill Burr, this is Bill Burr is
an acquired taste, and I don't always agree with him.
(03:26):
I'll tell you it's almost like he doesn't want you
to like him. He's got to do something. Ever, so
he's got to throw you off, because otherwise he feels
like he's pandering if everybody likes him. Here he is
making a very compelling argument that it's not men that
have failed the w NBA, it's the feminists.
Speaker 5 (03:43):
Do look at a wnbade. Nobody in a WABA got COVID.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Good.
Speaker 5 (03:52):
They've been playing in front of three to four hundred
people a night for a quarter of a century. It's
a male subsidized league.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
We gave you a league.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
None of you shut up?
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Where are all the feminists?
Speaker 5 (04:09):
That place should be packed with feminists, the faces painted,
wearing jersey, slashing a d, going nuts like the guys don't.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
Then the upper deck with their big beer.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
Tu are you on the jump on trot am I
doing it?
Speaker 1 (04:33):
You did?
Speaker 5 (04:34):
None of you, None of you went to the games,
none of you.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
You all you sailed them, not me, not men. Women
failed the w NBA.
Speaker 5 (04:47):
Ladies, ladies, name your top five all time w NBA
players of all time, park Nate five w NBA team
naked WNBBA team.
Speaker 6 (04:58):
And your fe you can't do it.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
You don't give off about them.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
They play night in a night out in front of nobody.
It's a tragedy, right, and then meanwhile you look at
the Kardashians. They're making billions. You know, those Real Housewives shows,
They're making money hand over fists, because that's what women
are watching.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
The money listens. You don't want to watch this shop.
You watch the ship.
Speaker 5 (05:33):
They just shoot it over there, drowning these horse and
money purses and shoes and botoks.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
It's just raining. It's raining money.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
So the money listens.
Speaker 5 (05:48):
You'd rather watch that Real Housewives, a bunch of women
just tearing.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
Each other down.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
Well, maybe that's why your husband laught too. That's why
your husband laught.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
That's why you can't I can't pitch.
Speaker 5 (06:00):
Buy your a. That's the message you said. We would
rather watch that and see a bunch of women come
together as a team and try to achieve.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
A common goal.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
We would rather watch him actually destroy each other.
Speaker 4 (06:16):
No, no, no, And.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
You come back and you yell at guys like and
it's like, all right, so let me get this straight.
I have to buy you a drink, stop the axe
murderer from coming through the window, and I have to
watch WNBA games for you, Like, where are you going
to pick up your end of.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
The couch.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
On this day. In two thousand and four, Ray Charles
died at the age of seventy three of liver disease.
Considering what he did to his body, seventy three is
a pretty good run, I mean, honestly, if the stories
are to be believed. And it was on this day
in two thousand and three at the great Luther Vandross,
who died far too young, released the album Dance with
(07:03):
My Father was released. It was two months after he
had suffered a debilitating stroke that would eventually take him down.
The album went to number one in America and the
title track won the Grammy for Song of the Year,
but he would die two years later July first, two
thousand and five. Room, let's let that take it to break,
and you just think about how much you loved your daddy.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
And dance with my mother and me, and then spend
me around up fatherlessleep. Then up a stasy would carry
me and I knew for sure I was loved.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
If I could get another chance, another walk the dance
with him, I'd lace that would know how love love
(08:11):
to dance with my father again.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
We're going to be changing the name of the Gulf
of Mexico to the Gulf of Michael Berry, which has
a beautiful It is amazing to me. It's important that
you understand this. How many politicians give as their opinion,
(08:37):
not what they believe to be true, but what they're
grinding an acts they're angry at someone. Louis Gohmer, for instance,
was the US congressman from Texas and he ran for
attorney general. They put him up to run against Ken Paxton,
(08:57):
and there was a runoff. He didn't make it. He
came out in fourth place with seventeen percent of the vote.
And here he is repeating the same old talking points
that Ken Paxton is corrupt because of you know, accusations.
Speaker 7 (09:15):
He told a lot of lies. As his wife now knows,
he lied a lot. He's quite corrupt, quite corrupt. From
all the things I know. I think he's the most
corrupt attorney general we've had in my lifetime.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Bitter, not a good look. Bitter. How's he corrupt because
he charged him with crimes for which he was found
not guilty. Why don't you finish that sentence? Why don't
you say he's just as corrupt as Donald Trump, who
(09:55):
had what thirty four felonies? Why don't you say he's
got an egen Carol out there like Trump did. Why
don't you say big Letitia big Tish, the Attorney General
of New York, accused him, charged him with mortgage fraud.
Turns out she was doing it herself. Or what about
fat Alvin Bragg, the prosecutor in New York who brought
(10:20):
charges against Trump. What about when they went through his
wife's panty drawers? What about fat Fannie down in Atlanta
and her boyfriend, hot dog Nathan? What about Jack Smith
out of the Department of Justice? What about all the
people they sicked on Trump and all the felonies they got?
Was he corrupt? Louis? Was he corrupt?
Speaker 8 (10:42):
Fact is.
Speaker 1 (10:44):
A lot of these politicians have visions of grandeur, like
sugar plums dancing in their heads. They're going to be great,
They're going to be grand, and when they are defeated,
they are bitter. Oh horror, they ever bitter. Congressman Brandon
gil was on Fox News with Laura Ingram when he
was asked what he knew about Ken Pashton that the
(11:06):
Republican establishment did not when he endorsed him over John
Wayne mccornyn.
Speaker 9 (11:11):
You endorse Paxton before President Trump came out and endorsed him,
despite the fact that not one sitting Republican senator endorsed him.
What do you know that the GOP establishment didn't at
what age thirty two?
Speaker 1 (11:25):
All of thirty two that you are, well.
Speaker 10 (11:28):
What I know is that the people of Texas are
looking for somebody who's going to fight for them in Washington.
You know, right now, it's not good enough to say
the right things, to say I'm going to do this,
or we should do that. What the people want, what
the Texas GOP voters want is somebody who's going to
do the right thing, who's going to get to Washington
and who's actually going to get the Save America Act passed,
(11:49):
who's not just going to talk about it, Who's going
to do whatever is necessary, including if that means using
a talking filibuster, for somebody who is going to do
what we said we'd do last cycle, which is MASSDEPORTI patients,
not talk about amnesty, which has been a long history
amongst some in our party.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
That is not what the people of Texas want.
Speaker 10 (12:07):
They want somebody who is going to stand up for
conservative values and do it in a way that gets results.
And that's exactly what Ken Paxton's.
Speaker 8 (12:15):
Going to do.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Sean Spicer used to be White House Press Secretary's been
a guest on the show many times. I always thought
he was pretty smart when it came to media relations
and things, but he really nailed it. He was on
the huddle when he said, all these people in media
who keep calling Paxton's defeat of Cornan an upset, they
(12:40):
don't understand what happened. Folks. I have said this all along.
I was telling people, Paxton beats Cornyn. How can you
say that the polls showed that corn wins. Poles don't vote,
That's just it. How do movies that have all this
money spent on them flop? You know, they do tests.
(13:01):
You understand they do tests. They don't just roll it
out and go, hey, let's see if y'all like it.
They've been testing that thing. They've got the best and brightest,
the smartest people to hand you a movie that you
will love, and they get it wrong. And then you
got this movie, The Obsession, that was made for seven
hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Somehow they got it right.
(13:27):
How is it that the establishment gets it so wrong
so many times? Because they don't know anybody who drives
a truck. They don't know any textans.
Speaker 8 (13:36):
I'll tell you that I was actually shocked at the
number of media folks that led their broadcast this morning
by saying a huge upset in Texas.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
You watch the huddle.
Speaker 8 (13:45):
That wasn't a huge upset that was predicted, and you know,
we talked about the margin of victory.
Speaker 1 (13:51):
So I got to be honest with.
Speaker 8 (13:52):
You, this is an indictment as far as I'm concerned
on anyone who thought that was going to be close
that that just tells you how bad your sources are.
This was this was that Paxson was going to win
it regardless. The Trump endorsement just shows you how powerful
it is go down ballot. By the way, you mentioned
this also, Rachel, that Chip Roy, the attorney general rights there.
He also lost every MAGA endorsed candidate one last night
(14:12):
in Texas. And we keep seeing this pattern and this
is good as gold. When the President endorses you in
a primary, that's worth a crazy amount and I don't
know that you can overcome it in almost any circumstance.
Now it's growing more and more strong, which is just fascinating.
Here we are in a second term, and President Trump's
power over the party is growing, not waning.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
Paxon was on Fox News when he said, there's some
comedic value to this, but I think it's actually true.
He said he doesn't think Tellafrico could win even in California.
This guy is so much wackier than even Gavin Man.
That's saying something.
Speaker 11 (14:53):
This guy doesn't represent Texas values. He doesn't even I'm
not even sure he could get a looted in California.
His views are so radical exposed. Now look, he's trying
to walk them back right now.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
You know, his his vegan campaign views, his saying the
American flag was a complicated it's a complicated symbol, is
talking about God being non binary, and pushing men into
women's sports.
Speaker 11 (15:16):
I mean, the list goes on. And this isn't just
me making this up. This is what he actually said.
And now he's complaining that I'm quoting him with this
with his strange, weird comments.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
So California, you know, California was once the most visited state,
the most tourists visited. Businesses were opening up there. You know,
I got to read this. I'll get to it in
the next segment. I saw a uh oh, my goodness.
(15:56):
I saw a stat on where where people are moving,
what states they're moving to.
Speaker 8 (16:04):
I'll what a.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Maroon to Michael Verry, show what anom I told you
all wanted to share with you about the changes in economics.
That was short on time there. I saw a report
from the Economist, and this is going to blow your mind.
(16:33):
It is the net change in number of company headquarters
from relocations in only five years from twenty twenty to
twenty twenty five. And they were moving. Three of the
five that were that had the biggest losses were out
(16:55):
of California, one from New York, one or and then
New York and then Chicago. It's by city, sorry, And
three of the five states they're moving to where Texas
and in Arizona and Tennessee. Net change in company of
a number of company headquarters from relocations five year period
(17:17):
twenty twenty twenty twenty five, Dallas gained almost one hundred.
San Francisco lost, actually one hundred. Austin gained about it's
a it's on a grass. It's hard to tell about
(17:38):
fifty five Austin. Those are high tech companies moving there.
Los Angeles lost about eighty. Houston gained about twenty five.
New York City lost about twenty five, Phoenix gained about
(18:03):
twenty two twenty three. Chicago lost looks like about ten.
San Diego lost about eight. Nashville gained about twenty three.
Three cities Houston, Phoenix in Nashville gained not quite twenty, well,
(18:27):
twenty five for Houston, let's say twenty five for three.
Let's round them up. Houston, Phoenix in Nashville all gained
about twenty five. Three California cities lost San Diego, La
in San Francisco, San Diego because it's not what it
(18:51):
used to be. Los Angeles lost almost one hundred. I
saw the other day a picture it was the only
thing that's been rebuilt after the Palisad fires, and it
was literally a framed out It was one framed out wall.
It was like a faux wall in a furnit in
a decor store, just so they could hang stuff on it.
(19:16):
They burned that city to the ground, figuratively and literally,
and they won't rebuild. They got a wacko mayor, Karen Bass.
How bad did things have to get that they would
stop voting for a whack chop and they may steal
good grief. San Francisco. I know that when a lot
(19:40):
of people hear San Francisco, they just think of a
bunch of homos. I'm gonna tall something. San Francisco is
one of the great American cities. It's a dentity as
a gay city. I don't know when that happened. There
was Harvey Milk and all that, but that was in
the seventies. But San Francisco was historically a great American city.
(20:03):
I've quoted many times a line that I love Tennessee
Williams who said there are only three great American cities
New York, San Francisco, and New Orleans. Everything else is Cleveland.
San Francisco was a great save. My wife and I
used to love to go out to San Francisco. Our
favorite Jewish deli was there. We go down and eat,
(20:24):
go down to Gerard Deli Square. It was great food,
it was an interesting vibe. She's such a wonderful said,
great architecture. Look at it now, what's it known for?
Speaker 5 (20:39):
Now?
Speaker 1 (20:41):
A TV reporter doing a story out in the field
about the number of smashing grabs, and while they're doing
the story, they're van right there, smashing grab people attacked
in the middle of a story about how bad crime is.
Liberalism has failed again and again and again. Eventually, the
(21:08):
strong are going to destroy the weak, and the weak
are going to be the white liberals. It is suicidal empathy.
The only thing that keeps powerful people from destroying weak
people is that other powerful people will stop in and
(21:30):
defeat them, And it is that threat of power against them.
When you remove that threat and you say no, no, no,
have your way with these weak white liberals, they will
and they have, and that's where you end up. That's
exactly where you end up. And the left will call
(21:54):
that culture wars. What enforcing the law closing the border?
Houston Chronicles quote unquote, business columnist Chris Tomlinson says that
Republican voters have chosen culture war candidates over Chamber of
Commerce conservatives. Well, let me tell you something. The Chamber
(22:14):
of Commerce crowd wanted wide open borders so they could
have cheap labor. The average American was tired of being raped, beaten, robbed, murdered.
So you want to call that culture war, call it
what you want. You're so out of touch it's embarrassing
(22:36):
for you. Or if you had any sense, it would be.
Speaker 12 (22:39):
Republicans are out, culture warriors are in, and political gridlock
is here to stay. Republican primary voters sent a clear
message in the runoff elections.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
They picked the most extreme.
Speaker 12 (22:54):
MAGA candidates without regard for expertise. Ken Paxton trounced US
editor John Cornyn, an old school conservative who cared about governing.
Paxton won by touting his support for President Donald Trump,
including his attempt to overturn the twenty twenty election. MAGA
May's Middleton defeated Chip Roy to win the nomination for
(23:17):
Texas Attorney General. Middleton is a political neophight, but he's
also the heir to an enormous oil fortune. He promises
to tear down the separation of church and state, as
well as target LGBTQ rights. Then there's Beau French, another
scion of Texas oil money. He won the Republican nomination
(23:39):
to become an energy regulator on the Railroad Commission by
suggesting that we not denaturalize and deport one hundred million
US citizens. One thing unites all these candidates a hatred
for people who are not like themselves. While MAGA voters
may find that attractive. Most Texans are worried about inflation,
(24:02):
their jobs, and their economic future. Democrats are trying to respond,
and polls show James Tallerrico has a chance against Paxton,
but many Texans will never vote for a Democrat. If
Americans want a better economy and government, they will need
to start compromising and voting for candidates who care more
(24:25):
about governing than poster.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
Diamonds are forever, and so with the Michael Barry. Remember
that President Trump goes on Fox News with his daughter
in law, Laura, she's married to Eric, when he called
(24:49):
tall Rico a transgender. This way, He's aid, they won't
change men playing in women's sports. They won't. You know
this transgender, this guy running in Texas. He says there
are six genders. He wears a mask all the time.
You know he's a disaster candidate. I'll tell you.
Speaker 8 (25:05):
I think Ken Paxson's gonna absolutely just destroy him.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
I think that's fair to say.
Speaker 4 (25:13):
So.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
A former Democrat spokesman named exoche Ty, he know Josa
the first letter is an X, and that's like the
I think that's the old Aztec spellings. Those are hard
to figure out how to pronounce how to pronounce like
jabier can be ja.
Speaker 13 (25:32):
V I e R, but it can be x A
v I e R, in which case the X can
be a ha. But it can be used different ways.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
The X can be like an H. So I don't
know if this is so cheaty. This might be so cheaty.
He know Josa. Anyway, he's a former Democrat spokesman and
he was trying to defend the Democrat whack job. Wait
till you learn more about this in Texas named James Talafrico.
(26:04):
He's on CNN, and now we know why he's a
former spokesman.
Speaker 14 (26:10):
He is an eighth generation white Texas male who loves meat.
Speaker 1 (26:18):
Okay, so let's unpack that. He's an eighth generation white
male who loves me. So he's real effeminate. So people
are saying he's gay. That's why Trump calls him transgender.
(26:40):
There was a rumor out there that from sixth grade
to ninth grade he dressed as a girl. And you
know there's gonna be a lot of rumors between now
and November. If it's true, we'll get verification. I have
no reason to know that it's true yet, but that
play that again, if you would please.
Speaker 14 (27:00):
He is an eighth generation white Texas male who loves meat.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
So what the Democrats are doing is the Democrat they're
desperately trying to win over voters on identity politics. Except
instead of now saying he's gay, he's black, it's a woman,
it's a transgender, they're trying to win over, if not
(27:29):
white males, in at least white females. Hey, we'll play
identity politics with y'all. Look, we found one who looks
just like you. And they say so, then they start
with he's an eighth generation. First of all, there was
a primary, a congressional primary here where the candidate who
(27:54):
was leading and one very big Trump supported I supported,
named Alex Meeler, was run against an individual who said
he was a fifth generation Texan. Great, wonderful. And I
got into an argument with some friends of mine over this,
and they said, she was born in California, So that's interesting.
(28:17):
Trump was born in New York. How does that matter?
And they started getting really really into American born people
who were not born in Texas. But Democrats have never
been big fans of the who was born in Texas thing.
(28:38):
This is the party of illegal aliens. So for them
to be saying he's an eighth generation You realize how
far back we're going there. They are rooting him in
the very Texas past that they have called evil so
(29:00):
many times. But what they're doing now rather so for
all these years they've said, you white Texans are devils,
and they keep losing elections. So now they go, we
got us a white Texan vote for him. It's very stealthy.
(29:21):
You gotta give them credit. They're trying to dupe people
who say, well, that person's a communist and she's a
black woman. I think I won't vote for huh. Okay,
all right, she's a communist, she's a black woman, and
she tells me I'm a devil and I need to die. Okay,
(29:45):
So we'll get a communist who's a white male. Okay,
he's an eighth generation white Texas male. See what they're
saying is that this is what y'all I wanted to remember.
We're giving it to you. But again with the identity politics,
(30:07):
we don't want to play identity politics. We'll vote for
a black male Wesley Hunt if he says and does
the right things. We'll vote for a female Alex Meeler
if we like what she stands for. He is an
eight generation white Texas male. What kind of male is that?
(30:32):
What does that mean? My argument on the what generation
you are as? If that's something to make that's great.
I mean, there's nothing wrong with being proud of how
many generations you've been in Texas. But it seems weird
like Davy Crockett came to the Alamo from Tennessee. In fact,
(30:56):
all the major figures, almost all the major figures at
the Alamo we're not from Texas, such as Texas was
at that moment, Bowie, Travis Crockett. They came from other places.
Sam Houston came from Tennessee. I've always been kind of
curious when someone, as I said, I want to be clear.
(31:19):
I think it's something to be proud of that you're third, fifth, seventh, whatever,
generation Texan. I think that's cool. I think that's neat.
I brag about it too. I don't know what generation
am I don't I don't. I just don't know because
I've never thought to look it up. I don't know
when our people ever weren't in Texas, but I've never thought,
(31:41):
but there are people, especially in Texas. Oh the seventh
generation Texan. Okay, all right, and what does that? What
does that mean? Well, it's fine that you're rooted in
the place you're you're committed to it, Okay, great, But
when you're arguing that that is the basis of upon
which you're better than the next guy, that's always kind
(32:03):
of creeped me out. But the last thing she says
there is he's an eight generation white Texas male who
loves meat. He actually came out and said our campaign
is vegan. Because this is what he does. He picks
up the ladies. And that's what makes him frightening as
a potential senator is whatever's the hot new thing. He'll
(32:26):
get caught up in that. And so since he said
he was vegan. Remember we're the state where Oprah Winfrey
lost a lawsuit over attacking the beef industry. She can't
show her fat face in the state of Texas because
of it. And here he comes out, we're gonna be vegan. Hello,
(32:46):
I'm an eight generation white taxis maw. We're going to
be vegan. And now it's so sad. It's like a hostage.
He's holding with a napkin, he's holding a piece of barbecue.
He's eating it. He's looking at Hi. How I follow
Texans I'm from I'm wearing a Texas flag shirt and
you notice
