Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. Michael
Very Show is on the air. The question is, foul Helm,
we are you lying then? Are you lying now? Or
are you not? In fact a chronic and habitual liar.

Speaker 2 (00:21):
When you hear the term fake news, you probably think
about how it's used often today by President Trump. But
it's actually an old term used by the Soviet Union
as a reference to disinformation campaigns that the Soviets and
now the Russians have long used to destabilize the West.

Speaker 3 (00:36):
US officials have warned that Russian interference remains an active
threat for the twenty twenty presidential elections.

Speaker 4 (00:43):
Why can't you see what to do to me?

Speaker 5 (00:50):
When the word say Shenn is scumb MSDNS scum, The
New York Times is scumb.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
Were suspicious? We can suspicious.

Speaker 6 (01:15):
Rudy Giuliani already had open contact with a person that
the US has called an agent for the Kremlin. Now
we are being told by two people who've been briefed
on what the FBI is doing that they're looking into
whether these unverified emails about Hunter Biden that were published
earlier this week by The New York Post about his

(01:37):
business dealings in Ukraine and China are part of this
bigger Russian disinformation effort in the twenty twenty election.

Speaker 5 (01:45):
CNN is scum, msdnngs scum. The New York Times is scumbe.

Speaker 1 (01:54):
Is suspicious.

Speaker 7 (01:58):
We can.

Speaker 8 (02:08):
President Trump will be at Mount Rushmore, where he'll be standing.

Speaker 9 (02:12):
In front of a monument of two slave owners and
on land wrestled away from Native Americans.

Speaker 10 (02:18):
We do have now some of the sound. As I
told you, we're not in the audience. We're not carrying
his remarks a live because, frankly, he says a lot
of things that are not true and sometimes potentially dangerous.

Speaker 5 (02:29):
CNN is scum, MSDNNG is scum. The New York Times
is scum.

Speaker 11 (02:35):
Start your tape right now, because I'm about to tell
you the truth and f you if you can't handle
the truth.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
This version of Biden.

Speaker 11 (02:47):
Intellectually, analytically is the best Biden ever looking at the
images and looking at what was actually damaged.

Speaker 12 (02:55):
The Defense Intelligence Agency has assessed that the core components
of Aron's nuclear program are largely intact, and that Iron's
nuclear program has essentially only been set back by months.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
Before US.

Speaker 11 (03:27):
You don't have to believe him You don't have to agree,
but I think he makes a pretty good case.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
Who said totally obliterated The President has said totally obliterated
the Iran nuclear program. Do you know for sure where
all the highly enriched uranium.

Speaker 13 (03:43):
Is well, Brett, I think that's actually not.

Speaker 1 (03:46):
The question before us.

Speaker 13 (03:47):
The question before US is can Iran enriched the uranium
to a weapons grade level? And can they convert that
fuel to a nuclear weapon? And we know, based on
the success of our mission, of course the leadership of
the President, but the incredible skill of our military, that
the two mission objectives are completely successful. We know that
they cannot build a nuclear weapon. Now you asked about

(04:09):
the highly enriched uranium. But what we know, Brett, is
that in uranium is something that exists in.

Speaker 1 (04:17):
Very large supply.

Speaker 13 (04:18):
Our goal was to bury the uranium, and I do
think the uranium is buried, but our goal was to
eliminate the enrichment and eliminate their ability to convert that
enriched fuel into a nuclear weapon. I actually just I
think that's an important point, Brett, because so many of the.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Folks who have focused on the highly.

Speaker 13 (04:35):
Enriched uraniums six usbertaine focus Brett has been to destroy
their enrichment capacity because we don't want that sixty percent
in uranium to become ninety percent in uranium. That's the
real concern and that's what was so successful about our mission.

Speaker 11 (04:50):
The Vice President told Rhetbeer that the Iranians warned us
before firing missiles at our base, and Cutter and listen,
here's what I think happened. They didn't want to escalate
this war. They had to do something, but they didn't
want to escalate the war by causing damage and forcing

(05:11):
Trump to need to escalate this to a higher level.

Speaker 1 (05:15):
They're reeling right now.

Speaker 3 (05:17):
The President called it very weak, the Iran missile firing
on the US base, and Cutter laded, was it a
face saving move? How do you get from that firing
missiles at a US base to a ceasefire? As he
details in this truth so.

Speaker 13 (05:33):
Well, as the President said, they actually gave us some
warning here, and we think they gave us some warning
because they didn't want to kill Americans and they didn't
want to escalate. There's definitely some symbolism to this, but
if you look at the Iranian attack, it was fourteen
missiles that they telegraphed ahead of time. We dropped fourteen
bunker buster bombs. As the President told me earlier, our missiles,

(05:53):
our bombs were a little bit bigger than their bombs.
Our bombs actually accomplished the goal of eliminating their nuclear program.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
But look, we're happy again.

Speaker 13 (06:02):
To restart the peace process as the President just did.

Speaker 3 (06:04):
This is the message delivered directly to the US or
through an emissary.

Speaker 13 (06:08):
The message is always delivered through some sort of intermediary.
That's been consistently true of the Iranians. Of course, we'd
love to talk to them. The President's been clear about this.
We'd love to have a direct conversation about how we
move this thing forward. Because again we've got to step
back here. Why did the President do what he did
over the past week. It's so that we could destroy

(06:29):
their nuclear program. If they try to rebuild it, they're
going to be on the wrong end of American power
once again. We don't want that. I think they don't
want that, but the balls in their hands.

Speaker 11 (06:38):
And then we get to the question of regime change,
and I think the Trump administration, and you're going to
hear jd Vance say, this is trying to be very
careful that if there is regime change, it does not
appear that that regime change came from us, but instead

(06:59):
that it was organ and internal. But he's making clear,
we like to say you do it, it's going to
have to come from you.

Speaker 13 (07:10):
Well, I think what the President is saying very clearly, Brett,
is if the Iranian people want to do something about
their own leadership, that's up to the Iranian people. What
the American national security interest here is very simple. It's
to destroy the nuclear program. That's what we've done. And
now that the twelve day war appears to be effectively over,
we have an opportunity, I think, to restart a real

(07:31):
peace process. And Brett, this is not just about two countries,
Iran in Israel.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
All of these golf Arab states.

Speaker 13 (07:38):
They want peace, They want to invest, they want to
build artificial intelligence hardware, they want to sort of come
into the new economy. And that was impossible when you
had Iran. That was, as the President said, acting like a.

Speaker 1 (07:51):
Bully across the Middle East.

Speaker 13 (07:53):
We really think that if the Iranians are smart about
the path forward, this could be.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
A new dawn of an economic age disparity.

Speaker 13 (08:00):
Of course, for our golf Arabella lies, for Us, for
the Israelis, for everybody. But it's going to require the
Iranians play its.

Speaker 5 (08:08):
Park for going to add a little bit about these
oar houses I know all about.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
Ramon wants to know what around the world.

Speaker 6 (08:13):
Is whistling bungholes, spleen splitters, whisker biscuits, honkey ridders, hooskerdoes
hohosker don'ts nips and.

Speaker 11 (08:20):
Dazers, whether without the scooter stick.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
Or one single whistling kiddy Jason Michael a White House
Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller. We like him, don't we.

Speaker 11 (08:31):
Ramon told Sean Hannity that critics of Operation Midnight Hammer
said it would start World War three, and instead it
led to a ceasefire.

Speaker 9 (08:41):
Well, let's just take a moment to think about how
historic this moment is and what President Trump has achieved in.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
This twelve day war. Presidents going back.

Speaker 9 (08:50):
To Bill Clinton have said it is the policy of
the US government not to allow ran to have a
nuclear weapon. But under every president except Trump, a rand
Mark closer and closer to being able to put onto
a ballistic missile a nuclear warhead that could take out
an entire city that has been the direction Iran has

(09:10):
been going in year after year. President Trump took action
flawlessly through the United States military to obliterate Iran's nuclear
sites and to stop them through the use of military force,
from having a nuclear weapon. It was a bold, courageous action,
and it happened without a single leak, without a single

(09:32):
solitary service member losing their life. Everyone said, who was
a critic of this action, that it would lead to
World War III, and instead we have a ceasefire. And
instead we have the beginnings of a new era of
stability and peace and security in the Middle East. President
Trump once again has demonstrated that he alone has the wisdom,

(09:55):
the judgment, the strength, and the courage to see this
nation through the most dangerous challenges we face around the world.

Speaker 11 (10:01):
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahoo says President Trump acted with
a lot of strength when he took out Iran's nuclear program.

Speaker 14 (10:09):
Telisian's, President Trump, your bold decision to target Iran's nuclear
facilities with the awesome and righteous might of the United
States will change history. In Operation Rising Line, Israel has
done truly amazing things. But in tonight's action against Iran's
nuclear facilities. America has been truly unsurpassed. It has done

(10:33):
what no other country on Earth could do. History will
record that President Trump acted to deny the world's most
dangerous regime the world's most dangerous weapons. His leadership today
has created a pivot of history that can help lead
the Middle East and beyond to a future of prosperity

(10:54):
and peace. President Trump and I often say peace through strength.
First comes strength, then comes peace. And today President Trump
and the United States acted with a lot of strength.
President Trump, I thank you the people of Israel, Thank
you the forces of civilization.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
Thank you.

Speaker 14 (11:17):
God bless America, God bless Israel. And may God bless
our unshakable alliance, our unbreakable faith.

Speaker 11 (11:25):
Well, after all that, President Trump was unhappy with Israel
for continuing to fire on Iran and said so in
no uncertain terms.

Speaker 4 (11:36):
They violated, but Israel violated it too. Went to Israel.
As soon as we made the deal, they came out
and they dropped the load of Bob's the likes of
which I've never seen before, the biggest load that we've seen.
I'm not happy with Israel. You know when I say, okay,
now you have twelve hours you don't go out in
the first hour, it just drop everything you.

Speaker 8 (11:55):
Have on them.

Speaker 4 (11:56):
So I'm not happy with them. I'm not happy with
Iran either, really unhappy of Israel's going out this morning
because the one rocket that didn't land, that was shot
perhaps by mistake, that didn't land. I'm not happy about that.
What we have, we basically have two countries that have
been fighting so long and so hard that they don't

(12:17):
know what the they're doing.

Speaker 11 (12:18):
Do you understand that Florida has approved the most Florida
facility on the peninsula. This brings back Florida, man, but
it's an actual policy. I thought this was a joke.

Speaker 1 (12:32):
When I first heard this, but I am. I am
assured it's not.

Speaker 11 (12:37):
Florida has approved a massive detention facility for illegals.

Speaker 1 (12:41):
That they call Alligator Alcatraz. I love this so much.

Speaker 15 (12:46):
Attorney General James Huntmeyer here at the Miami Dade Hollier
Training Facility. This is an old, virtually abandoned airport facility right.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
In the middle of the ever Lace.

Speaker 15 (12:56):
Florida has been leading on immigration enforcements, supporting the Try
administration and ICE's efforts to detain and deport criminal aliens.
The governor tasting leaders to identify places for new temporary
detention facilities. I think this is the best one, as
I call it, Alligator Alcatraz. This thirty square mile area

(13:16):
is completely surrounded by the Everslag. Presents a efficient, low
cost opportunity to build a temporary detention facility because you
don't need to invest that much in the perimeter.

Speaker 1 (13:27):
People get out.

Speaker 15 (13:27):
There's not much waiting for them other than alligators and pythons.
Nowhere to go, nowhere to hide. Within just thirty to
sixty days after we begin construction, it could be up
and running and could house as many as a thousand
criminal aliens. This presents a great opportunity for the State
of Florida to work with Miami Dade and Collier Counties.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
Alligator Alcatraz, We're ready to go.

Speaker 11 (13:49):
While we're on the subject of Florida, US Marshalls and
Florida officials announce sixty missing kids reskewed during Operation Dragonfly.
This is the best good news story I have heard
in a very very long time.

Speaker 16 (14:11):
My name is Bill berger Bee r Ger, United States
Marshall Middle District of Florida, and I am overwhelmed by
the results of this operation, Operation Dragonfly of Dragonfly I
the largest in the history of the United States Marshall Service,
if not the history of the United States. As the
AG mentioned, sixty juveniles recovered in two weeks, ranging from

(14:33):
age nine to seventeen years of age. Several years ago,
Atlanta had a similar operation which resulted in the recovery
of thirty children over six weeks. This effort was a
collaboration of, as the AG mentioned, twenty agencies with over
one hundred people involved. I want to thank the AG
for providing the statewide special prosecutors. I want to say

(14:56):
special things to Sheriff's Chronister Gold Terry and knock Go
Fdly of course are police Chief, my friends Lee work
Hall and Tony Holloway, Hillsborough County State Attorney Susie Lopez,
who many are will be speaking in the very near future.
It should be noted that Tampa Mayor Jane Caster and

(15:18):
former Mayor Bob Bolkhorn also visited the Commands command post
and spoke to our team emphasizing the importance of this operation.
We will put together this operation emphasizing recoveries, but I will,
but I can tell you I stressed arrest because experience
tells us if the offenders are not apprehended, they will

(15:40):
reconnect with these children. They are, in my opinion, leeches.
Behind me, you will see the pictures of eight persons
who are arrested and charged with crimes ranging from human trafficking,
child endangerment, drug possession, and trafficking.

Speaker 1 (15:58):
When arrested, they were in.

Speaker 16 (16:00):
Bonds ranging from no bond to two hundred and fifty
million dollar bond.

Speaker 1 (16:06):
That was never I've never heard of that before.

Speaker 16 (16:09):
Violate is important to give credit where credit is due.
The one person who was tasked with setting up this
operation and universally has been recognized by all people involved,
is Deputy US Christ.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
Michael Berry.

Speaker 15 (16:27):
Black.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
In the system law modern day.

Speaker 11 (16:36):
How the white liberals, many of whom are Jewish of
New York in a city they've lived in their entire
lives their parents before them. For many of these folks,
their grandparents were immigrees from Poland or Hungary, or Romania

(16:58):
or Germany. Many of them are descendants of Holocaust victims.
Many of them their families fled during Nazi Germany, and
many of them the children of Holocaust survivors and their

(17:20):
families came to New York.

Speaker 1 (17:22):
They went to NYU.

Speaker 11 (17:24):
They went to Columbia, they went to Hofstra, They went
to the various universities. There, they went to concerts there,
they joined the symphony. There, they supported Broadway. There, they
owned restaurants, They invested, They worked in finance or law

(17:44):
or manufacturing. And for generations they lived this life. They
wrote great books. They loved New York and all the
while New York was changing, transforming, and they thought their
enemy was Donald Trump. They thought their enemy was me

(18:09):
and you. And in order to wage war against their
enemy Donald Trump or me or you, they supported increasingly
crazy candidates like Oh, I don't know, Alexandria Cassio Cortes,
for instance, who endorsed Zorn Mundani. Bernie Sanders endorsed Zorn Mundani.

(18:36):
And that might seem crazy. What was Bernie have to
do with this race? Well, first of all, Mumdani is
an avowed socialist. And secondly, Bernie Sanders would fit into
the old New York, the ed Katch era in New
York very easily. There are a lot of New Yorkers
in Vermont. That's that's the playground for many New Yorkers.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
But what must seem.

Speaker 11 (19:01):
Odd is that the new Muslim mayor, if he beats
Sarah Adams says that should the leader of Israel come
to New York, he would arrest him.

Speaker 17 (19:17):
A mayor, Mum Donnie, would you welcome Prime Minister net
to New York City for the for whatever.

Speaker 1 (19:23):
He comes for?

Speaker 17 (19:24):
Given the US is not a signature to the ICC,
so he can travel to the US unlike a lot
of other countries. Would a maya, Mum doney, welcome Benjamin
to the city?

Speaker 18 (19:32):
No, as mayor New York City would arrest Benjamin Netanya
who this is a city that our values are in
line with international law. It's time that our actions are.

Speaker 17 (19:40):
Also, even though the US is not a signature of
the ICC.

Speaker 18 (19:42):
No, it's time that we actually step up and make
clear what we are willing to do to showcase the
leadership that is sorely missing in the federal administration.

Speaker 11 (19:53):
You know how I was thinking, the first Muslim mayor,
if he's elected, the first millennial mayor, the first Asian mayor,
and the first mayor to say that you would arrest

(20:14):
the leader of Israel in the city of New York,
the largest Jewish community in the entirety of the United States,
And that's not even the craziest thing to happen this week.
I was thinking earlier this morning, President Trump bombed Iran.

(20:35):
We've talked about the fear of a nuclear Iran. Whether
you're for the bombing or not, or like me, you're
somewhere in the middle, not certain on the intelligence that
was provided. That's not even being talked about. The president's
in the Hague today. I guess he's still in the
Hague today. You think you just had some of the

(20:57):
biggest protest us we've seen in five years, and it's
sort of like we just move on the next day.
What's h is Trump back home already? It was a
quick visit. Well, I did not realize that it's crazy story.

(21:21):
All right, it's gonna be clipping number twenty two Ramon
from Chaz Prep. A brother and a sister, both Democrats.
This is an Elhano Omar story. I know you had
are wondering. Faced off in a special election for Florida
Senate District fifteen this week. A brother and a sister
running against each other. The mother came out and endorsed
the sister. Last year, when the brother ran against the incumbent,

(21:46):
his sister and mother snubbed him by publicly endorsing the incumbent.
Now they ran against him. That incumbent died, which occasioned
a special election. The sister runs against him and wins.
Also running in that race, Alan Grayson, remember him the

(22:07):
unhinged far left Former Congressman Nutty Times w e SHTV
in Orlando with the story.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
State Representative Levon Bracy Davis.

Speaker 19 (22:19):
Made official to this crowd of Democratic leaders and supporters.
Would many have known for weeks that she's running to
replace State Senator Geraldine Thompson, whom Bracy Davis called her mentor.

Speaker 7 (22:32):
And I stand here today to say I will not waiver,
I will not retreat. I will continue to fight with
every ounce of my being to ensure that Florida.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
Works for us. All Yes.

Speaker 19 (22:49):
Thompson's daughter delivered their family's endorsement, and Circuit nine State
Attorney Monique Warrel promised a senator who has already worked
hard to improve the juvenile justice system.

Speaker 13 (23:00):
She was a diligent advocate for ensuring the safety of
our community and ensuring that we can help the children
in our community.

Speaker 19 (23:10):
But absent from the announcement was Bracy Davis's brother, Randolph,
the former state senator, ran to unseat Thompson last year,
but his sister and mother endorsed Thompson.

Speaker 11 (23:22):
The answer is yes, I will be seeking an election
to District fifteen.

Speaker 19 (23:27):
Making his own announcement on social media, Bracy had this
to say about his sister challenging him. This is a
sad day for the Bracy name. My sister choosing to
run against me dishonors our father's legacy in every way possible.
People know my record, and I will continue to walk
and live in the light by putting the people over power.

Speaker 1 (23:47):
I love my brother and I wish him well.

Speaker 7 (23:51):
I'll be running for the people at Santa District.

Speaker 11 (24:00):
I bet that district's going to get some good representation.
You just get the sense that there's a whole lot
of good coming out of that family. There is a
story that I'm trying to dig deeper into. It showed
up on my desk yesterday as a press release. They
covered it this morning on k trh's morning News, but
I did not get to hear the story. It goes

(24:23):
like this, A family has sued HISD saying their daughter
was being socially transitioned using a masculine name and different
pronouns from her at school without their knowledge. The Alliance
Defending Freedom ADF has filed a lawsuit in federal court

(24:46):
on behalf of the family. Kkrh's morning news reports quote
the issue began back in December of twenty twenty three,
when the Osbourne family discovered a masculine name on their
daughter's school. If somebody knows that family and can have
them call us, I would like to talk to them
on air seven one three nine nine nine one thousand,
seven one three nine nine nine one thousand.

Speaker 1 (25:09):
I think that there might because I've got nothing going
on down there, probably.

Speaker 16 (25:15):
By one Friday night, and said can you help make Trio?

Speaker 8 (25:19):
A new poll from UT's Texas Politics Project finds that
fifty three percent of Texas voters oppose Nan Patrick's MULLA
THHC band, while only thirty one percent support it.

Speaker 11 (25:37):
Fifty three percent oppose, thirty one percent support. That is
not typically an issue you take up and bet the
bank on.

Speaker 1 (25:49):
When we are at a point that George Soros.

Speaker 11 (25:51):
Is about to pour many million dollars into winning state
wide races, this will likely be the last thing anyone
will remain from this legislative session. It is the most
talked about thing across the state in political circles. Not
school vouchers, not anything that they accomplished, the thing that

(26:18):
people are talking about. I am surprised because I think
it's a horrible move on principle. I am surprised how
many emails I have received from people that I normally
receive emails from that agree with my position.

Speaker 1 (26:32):
I did not expect that.

Speaker 11 (26:35):
I expected more sweet little old ladies who don't want
their grandson to be.

Speaker 1 (26:39):
On that dope.

Speaker 11 (26:41):
But instead I'm hearing from people, sweet little ladies that
are taking some THHC based product for.

Speaker 1 (26:51):
Extreme extreme joint pain.

Speaker 11 (26:54):
Rheumatoid pain is a big problem as folks get older.
If you spend as much time as I do in
the old folks home, you can't help. But notice how
many people's fingers do not extend. You notice swelling and joints,
You notice gnarled hands, and there's pain that accompanies out.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
Why should you have.

Speaker 11 (27:19):
To live in that pain when there is a safe
natural product. Now, I suppose if Dan Patrick's consultants slash lobbyists,
because they're the same people, I suppose that we could
pay them a commission so that you could go into
the compassionate use program and then you can buy the
same product at a markup from their company that gave

(27:42):
them a commission.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
To keep you from being able to buy this conveniently.

Speaker 11 (27:46):
You know, there are still people that want you to
have to pay to go to the doctor to get
an aspirin or a Z pack or any number of
things that become over the counter. Pharmaceutical companies spend billions
of dollars lobbying to keep products from going over the market,

(28:07):
I mean over the counter, and the reason is supposedly
because you're too stupid to be able to buy it.
And never forget Lee Brown did it, Sheila Jackson, Lee
did it? Sylvester Turner did it, Dan Patrick does? It
is always about the children. Whatever they're doing, whatever they're

(28:28):
getting paid for, whatever they're cutting deals for, just remember
it's always for the children.

Speaker 1 (28:38):
You've got fifty.

Speaker 11 (28:39):
Three percent a post and thirty one percent in favor
of the THCHC band, which means because fifty three percent
of the people don't use THHC products, that means that
there are now people who say, I don't do it,
but it's not your job. It's not your authority, Dan Patrick,

(29:04):
to tell people what they can and cannot do.

Speaker 1 (29:08):
Stop just quit. Stop trying to control people.

Speaker 11 (29:13):
So that your friends can get paid, So that Alan
Blakemore can get paid by his lobby clients, so that
Louis Signs can get paid by lobby clients, so that
Logan Spencer, whatever the guy's name is, that's your former
chief of staff, can get paid. People have figured it out.
The deal was, this thing was ram rotted through the
House and the Senate. The governor was supposed to sign
it and move on. But this governor is scared to

(29:36):
death of putting his name behind something so unpopular. In
tennis or any racket sport, but I'll use tennis. One
of the statistics that has kept it's very important is
called unforced errors. So the guy serves, his opponent returns,

(29:58):
and the point begins, or the point continues. A rally ensues.
If you go for a winner, that is a shot
that you hit that the other guy can't get back,
and you get the winner. It's one point. You get
one point off of that, but psychologically it's like you
got ten It's a really good feeling.

Speaker 1 (30:20):
Fans cheer over a winner.

Speaker 11 (30:23):
But if you go for a winner and you miss
the shot, your opponent gets the point.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
And you might have had a gap, You might have had.

Speaker 11 (30:32):
An opportunity for that winner, but you miss it because
you try to what they call paint the line. You
try to make it look too pretty. You try to
keep him from getting a racket on it. It's the
equivalent of swinging for the fences or going for a dunk.
And not only that, it's the equivalent to posterize in somebody.
But you still only get two points when you dunk
on somebody's head.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
You still only get one run. Whether that home run.

Speaker 11 (30:56):
Goes out and the Portuguese water dogs go get it
for Barry Bonds, or you barely cross the fence. So
back to the tennis analogy, or pick a ball for
that matter. Harder to hit a winner and pick a ball.
But if you hit the winner, everybody cheers. If you
miss the winner, it's an unforced error. The other guy wins.
If you study players as they come into professional tennis,

(31:20):
you will notice that they have more unforced errors than
they do winners. The only reason you went for an
unforced error is you thought you could hit a winner.
So rather than put the ball back in play, keep
the point going and give yourself a fifty to fifty chance,
a sporting chance, as Jerry Klower would say, to stay

(31:40):
in the point, you do something stupid, you overreach, and
you give the other guy a point. Fifty three percent
of people oppose what Dan Patrick just did. Only thirty
one percent support it.

Speaker 1 (31:58):
So why would you do it?

Speaker 11 (32:00):
Because it's the right thing to do, because people were
clamoring for it, because it's a violation of civil rights,
because people are being murdered. No, no, you did it
because you were asked by the alcohol industry and the
various components of it. Because the other study that shows

(32:25):
that alcohol sales among young people are way down. Young
people today are not drinking to the level my generation
and even more so the level before that generation. Well,
if you're in the business, you're looking at the trend
line and going, we got to get these young people
back on alcohol. The only way to do that is
to make THC products illegal. Yeah, how did prohibition work?

(32:48):
The last time we did it with alcohol? You ended
up with organized crime. You ended up The only thing
good to come out of that was NASCAR and the
legend of al capone. First part about what dan Patrick
has done, which is going to cost us some elections,
there's no doubt in my mind about that. The worst
part about what he did is it didn't need to

(33:10):
be done. He had built up as lieutenant governor and
state senator before that, he had built up a good name,
He had some accomplishments. They won the Paxton case, and
he goes and squanders it unforced error. It was a
huge mistake.
