Speaker 2 (00:05):
Time, luck and load.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
So Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
That American dream is slipping away. I don't have to
tell you that you're feeling your lives. You see it
in your shrinking wages, in the cost of everything from
groceries to healthcare, to college, to filling up your car
at the gas station. It keeps going up, been up
(00:35):
and up, and the future keeps receiving further and further
and further away.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
That really speaks to a lot of pessimism here about
the American dream.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
How it feels like it's out of region.
Speaker 5 (00:47):
You know, home ownership for too many people in our
country now is elusive. You know, gone is the.
Speaker 6 (00:52):
Day of everyone thinking they could actually live the American dream.
Speaker 7 (00:54):
I'm here today with a message of hope for all Americans.
With your vote in this election, I will end inflation,
i will stop the invasion, and I will bring back
the American Dream.
Speaker 6 (01:06):
Lean on me.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
When you're not strong.
Speaker 8 (01:12):
And ill me your dream.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
I'll help you care.
Speaker 7 (01:20):
We're winning by a lot, We're leading by a lot.
We're leading in the polls. Every single state looks like
we're doing you and with your supporter November fifth, America
will be bigger, better, bolder, richer, safer, and stronger than
ever before.
Speaker 6 (01:38):
Lean on me.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
When you're not strong, and how me your dream? Now?
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Help you care for those who abandoned hope.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
We'll restore hope, and we'll welcome them into a great
national crusade to make America great again.
Speaker 7 (02:00):
That's why I'm here today, That's why I'm standing before you,
because we are going to finish what we started. We
started something that was America.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
We're going to complete the mission.
Speaker 7 (02:15):
We're going to see this battle through to ultimate victory.
We're going to make America great again.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
No ined somebody, this.
Speaker 7 (02:30):
Election is a choice between whether we will have a
four I think of this four more years, could you
stand it? It's four more years of incompetence, stupidity, and
failure and disaster, or whether we will begin the four
greatest years in the history of our country.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
I think we have a real chair make America great again.
Speaker 7 (02:54):
And quite simply put, we will very quickly make America
great again.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
I was scrolling this weekend. I needed a little break
from politics, and there weren't any football games on, so
I started scrolling through Prime, then Netflix, and there was
(03:33):
a I don't do real well with fiction. I'm more
of a documentary guy, And so there was one that
it was fiction, but I listened to the little pitch
you know, they give you a little pitch on it
when you scroll over in thirty seconds or a minute
or whatever it is. And it was about a doctor
(03:56):
who had taken over a broken medical institution in New
York City. I think it was called Amsterdam or New Amsterdam.
It's not important. But the doctor is standing in front
of the staff there and he says something to the
effect of, we're going to make this place great again,
(04:23):
and we're going to solve your problems. What are your pros?
How can I help you heal patients? And so some
guy says, I don't remember what it was, Oh, oh
he did, so I know. A woman screams out no
waiting rooms, and he says, why no waiting rooms? She said,
(04:45):
I want the patients to come in and go straight
to a room to be seen. And he said done,
no waiting rooms, and everybody looks around. He didn't have
a committee, he didn't very trump verdecisive. Then the next guy,
who like he could stand to eat health food, said,
(05:07):
we want health or I want health food And said,
what do you mean and he said, I want healthy
food in the cafeteria. Well, if you haven't been in
the hospital lately, that might not mean anything to you.
But I've spent a lot of time in the last
five years in Beaumont and Houston hospitals, a lot of time,
(05:33):
more time than you would imagine. Many is the day
I have come into the studio and I've been at
the hospital till two o'clock the night before and spent
a lot of time there, and I'm just beat. Absolutely,
Probably why I was so crank. That's my excuse for
why I was so cranky. I mean, that's my excuse. Okay,
(05:53):
you know, first it was my dad, and that it
was my mom. Then it was the overlap, and then
my mom just just went down hill over a long
period of time, and it was it was it was rough.
She had uh, she had great doctors, and I had
a great experience. I will tell you that with the
Houston Hospitals and doctors Tim Connolly, the lung doctor, and
Stan Dukman, the cardiologist. They did a wonderful job for her.
(06:17):
Did They did the best they could possibly do anyway,
and Uh, what's the other guy's name, the hip doctor
she had her hips replaced a couple of years ago.
What was his name. I'll tell you in the seconds.
That fonder, noorthopedic, great guy. Anyway, Yeah, it was always
(06:39):
interesting to me that you're at a hospital and the
only thing really available to eat is a McDonald's downstairs. Now,
I know we all love McDonald's because of the fries
and all that, but I try not to eat fast
food very often. And I don't know if you've ever noticed,
but in hospitals everybody's fat, especially the nurses there all fat. Now,
(07:01):
part of that is the type of person who makes
a good nurse is a caretaker, and caretaker personalities are
always fat because they don't they don't take any pains
for themselves, they don't work out, they don't worry about
what that. They just tend to other people. It's a ministry.
You're born that way. It's a countenance, a disposition, it's
(07:22):
it's who you are. And God bless them, Thank God
for them, because I can't imagine going to bed at night,
or for those of that work the night shift, going
to bed in the morning knowing I'm going to get
up six seven eight hours later and go change bedpans
and clean vomit. I mean, knowing I had to do
that tomorrow. You know, if somebody's sick in my house,
(07:45):
I know that we're going to get through this and
then we'll be back to normal. But when that is
your job, I just I don't know how you do that.
I don't know how you do that. My friend Mike
Silva the glass Man, says, we will be attending a
prayer service for our nation tonight at Saint Joseph Catholic
Church in Houston. I believe many other parishes are doing
(08:06):
the same here and across our country. It is important
that voters vote their conscience. I agree with that. I
agree with that. Seven one three nine nine, one thousand,
seven one thousand. We'll take some calls here. In just
(08:31):
a moment, I thought I had that ready but to go,
but I don't. All right, hang tight outro music, Maestro,
play it.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Came in a little late on that. If I don't
want you to come in, you come in hot and
interrupt my conversation. If I do want you, do you
just there and look at you.
Speaker 8 (08:53):
Concone always dies.
Speaker 6 (08:56):
The Michael Berry just put her.
Speaker 8 (08:58):
Head down and she went to work.
Speaker 9 (09:25):
Governor, you previously opposed an assault weapons van, but it's
only later in your political career did you change your position. Why.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
I become friends with school shooters. That's what I've said.
I become friends with school shooters. I'm a knucklehead at times.
I've become friends with school shooters. Those same people elected
me to Congress for twelve years. I've become friends with
(09:56):
school shooters, and I'm proud of that service. I've become
friends with school shooters, and I think that's a healthy conversation.
I've become friends with school shooters. I've become friends with
school shooters. I've become friends with school shooters. I've become
friends with school shooters. They've become friends with school shooters.
(10:18):
They've become friends with school shooters.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
I didn't finish my story, as I often don't. About
that TV show, I'm told that it is called New Amsterdam.
So the guy says we want healthy food, and the
fellow down in the front, who's answering the questions, who's
offering to bring change to the hospital, ask for more details,
(10:44):
and he says, there's no healthy food here. The food
is awful and we're here for long hours. So he
said done, we'll have healthy food and everybody. There's just
if you've ever hated someone and then you found out
(11:05):
that the thing you hated them over it didn't really do,
or you found out that they were sorry, whatever happened,
and you ever you ever get that feeling, It really
is like a physical It's like you were you were,
you were shackled and it's taken off. It just floats
off of you. Something that you know you're going in
(11:30):
for an interview, or you're going in to meet you
know what could be your biggest deal, or you're gonna
have to give a speech, and then it turns out
it wasn't really a speech. It was a round table
and you never even had to speak. And then that
deal's over and you're just like, ah, there's just a
sigh it it you physically feel better, like losing one
(11:55):
hundred pounds just in a moment. It's just gone. So
many problems, so many things that cause so much angst
and frustration, resentment that could just be fixed. And the problem,
especially with organizations like a hospital system or a university,
(12:19):
or a public school or a public company, is that
weak people, and there's a certain type of people who
does this. Weak people cannot make decisions. This is important
to understand. Weak people do not have the confidence to
make decisions, and they don't like people who do. They
(12:43):
view people who make decisions as shoot from the hip, reckless,
dangerous people. They prefer paralysis by analysis, and they prefer
to make problems far more complicated than they actually are
(13:05):
by distributing and eventually eliminating the accountability for decision making.
So what they do is they create committees, and the
creation of the committee this is this is Harris County government,
and this is this is most organizations. Hey there's a
(13:26):
big problem. We got a big problem here. Everybody knows
it's a big problem. Okay, we're going to appoint a committee,
and there's publicity around the committee. And you know what
it does. It buys time because nothing has to be
done now, and whoever is most bothered by the problem
(13:50):
now they get a chance to have their say with
the committee. But first, let the committee get gathered. Let's
pay you know, a jury foreman, let's pick all our titles.
Let's waste a bunch of time on that. Then maybe
we'll take input from the public, or from the employees.
(14:11):
If it's at a company, the employees will all have
an opportunity to tell what the grievance is, and then
the committee will meet some more than the committee might
have a subcommittee on the committee, and we'll study this
m effort to death, and then eventually we'll water down
what should be done or what often happens this is
(14:34):
a public company thing to do is the CEO leaves, retires,
moves on. The next guy comes in says, oh, let's
slow down on all that stuff. They put all of
their people in their half. The committee's gone, and things
die by neglect. But the underlying problem never gets solved
(14:55):
because you don't have decisive people and you don't have
a structure in your organzation that is a problem solving structure.
You look at how many functions of where the rubber
hits the road that major corporations have to outsource, that
major corporations don't innovate any longer. Major corporations go looking
(15:21):
and they find a three person company in Salsby, Texas
or Hammond, Louisiana that is figuring out super conductivity or
that's figuring out you know, a frictionless process to do this,
or a downhold fluid that is a fluid that will
(15:42):
you know withstand this and do this and do this.
That level of innovation is being done out of some
thousand square foot warehouse in a strip center of warehouse.
It's a whole row of warehouses, and there'll be initials
on it. DT Investments or DT Engineering or whatever else.
(16:07):
That's why folks our show sponsor Sparks Engineering, Spaarx Engineering.
You get companies that are going and blowing. They're a
big company, they've been a big company for a long time,
but when they have an actual problem that needs to
be solved, they don't have the expertise in house to
do that. Because if you don't have the expertise, you
(16:32):
don't know how to go get the expertise, and often
you don't know that you need the expertise, So you
hire a bunch of other people like yourself, and before
you know it, you end up a company. And every
company has this danger. You end up a company full
of people with MBAs, not one of whom can actually
(16:53):
do anything other than be a corporate employee, which means
show up to work, go to meetings, sit through sexual harassment.
Sit through this, sit through this, sit through this, ensure
that everything we do is in full compliance. There's no innovation,
no creativity, there's no vision. So that's why you have
(17:14):
to have these little companies. And that's why little companies
are always being bought up by big companies in the
tech sphere. You look at how often Apple or Google
is buying a smaller company, or Netflix for that matter,
they're going out. We got to figure out how to
distribute this, We got to figure out how to code this.
(17:36):
And for the billions of dollars they have in payroll,
they don't have anybody that can figure out this, this
and this. But there's some little company out of a
guy's garage in Bellevue or two hours from San fran
or an hour or in Smithville or a bass Drop,
(17:57):
and they'll just go in and buy that guy, him
and his three partners, and they'll give him crazy money,
thirty million bucks, which is nothing to them, and then
they bring his technology in. And every time, because I
talk to these people, not every day, I talk to
these people a lot, they're excited, Oh I'm gonna get
(18:17):
my cash. I'm gonna get thirty million bucks. Well, this
gonna be great. So they get their thirty million bucks
and they got to work there for two years, and
within two weeks they realized why that company could never
create what this guy created out on his own, because
there's no deciders. Trump is a decider and ninety nine
percent of people are not, and that's what scares them about.
Speaker 8 (18:36):
From all the King of Ding and this other guy,
Michael Barry.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
This is the kind of guy you like to smacking ass.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
The names have changed, the games, the same lord getter
around for weekend an this pain.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Imma loves go in on.
Speaker 8 (19:15):
The crime is high.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
They stole my car. You should have been a better borders.
Speaker 8 (19:21):
Are Kama loves go in On.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
You let crooks send Bud.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
You left the South yet then a sent have died,
kids lost and found in border town of Budget, never
and tried. You told me lies since you made crist Now,
I can't wait to say it by.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Kama Loves go in On. You've cursed the right.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
You could be wrong. It's been four years. It's been
so long. Come I loves going home. We're gonna vote
for Trump. We're gonna send you home. We gotta rise
before we fall. I'm gonna use this boat time. I
(20:21):
can't stand the lord of y'all. I've seen your place.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
A million times.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Every time TV's a yeah, don't.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
She tell me?
Speaker 1 (20:41):
How should just fall?
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Now's come up? Col I loves going home. We're gonna
send her home. Trump twenty four.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
That was filmed on somebody's phone on a cruise. Listeners
sent that as I get a lot of things of
the sorcerer. I don't actually know the guy's name, but
everyone was standing at rapt attention as he saying it.
So I don't know if it was open to the
public cruise or if it was a cruise of people
(21:26):
that shared the same values. I don't know, but nobody
interrupted him or boot or anything else. That's why the
audio quality is not so good. So I spoke this
morning to Karen Henry, who, along with Amy Huggins, is
involved with the making of the Fired Up to Vote
that I started the show with, and she has agreed
(21:46):
to come on the air and be subjected to all
sorts of awkward questions and otherwise impertinence.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Is Karen.
Speaker 5 (21:56):
Hid the two of you at the same time.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Yes, Oh that's always terrible.
Speaker 6 (22:04):
We'll just be Huggins done too.
Speaker 5 (22:06):
What's that.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
I said? It's Amy Huggins.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
As well as in Bow Huggins's wife. Yes, sir, I
adore your husband. I don't get to see him much anymore,
but I used to back in the day. He has
the beer distributorship. Ramon, you want to be nice to him? Yeah,
that's how you get free beer. Yes, nice to him,
you get free beer. Okay, him and Johnny Johnson when
they called you picked upon up. That's just what you do.
(22:31):
Tell me about fired up to vote? Did y'all build that?
Speaker 5 (22:37):
Yes, Amy Chill, Yes.
Speaker 6 (22:39):
We After the twenty twenty two election, we realized that
we needed to get more people to the polls, and
this summer we created a website and created a portal
so that friends can get their friends to vote and
know when their friends vote. Because the best way to
get somebody to vote, it's for somebody they know and
(23:02):
or respect to ask them to vote. So this lets
people basically do what every politician asks their supporters to do,
which is to get ten friends to the polls. And
this way you know if your friends actually vote, because
the county produces that information every day, which I'm sure
you know.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Yeah, no, I don't.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Don't.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Yes, I do, but that does not mean you shouldn't
tell it. This is fantastic. I love that you ladies
did this. Can we talk about your day job?
Speaker 8 (23:31):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (23:32):
Which one?
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Well, the pr boutique.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
Well, thank you Michael for asking. Yes, I'm on the
pr btiqu We have offices in Houston, Austin, and San Antonio,
but I managed the Houston office.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Well, I don't need to pitch, sweetheart. I'm on your
site all morning. I could tell the story. I just
want to make sure you were okay with me telling
you that's what you do. So I go on there
as I am George, and it's like, do you have
to be a model to work there? Because it's all
pretty women? What is going on with that? You got
one dude out there, Fulton Davenport, who's got a porn
(24:08):
name and looks like a model himself.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
Well he is a model. He's also our photographer and
he develops our website too.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Oh my goodness, it's all pretty women there. That's a
lot of pretty women under one under one roof.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
Well, thank you for saying that. But they're smart, smart,
aggressive and very well uh trained, let's put it that way.
Speaker 8 (24:30):
I know that.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
From the I can't know that from the photos. All
I can see is and there's nothing wrong with being pretty.
Speaker 5 (24:39):
We're good to think. So I like them all too.
They're all great. I know you're kidding, b No, but
they are.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Even you two are beautiful. Everybody on there is beautiful. Question. So,
so the goal in setting this up? Who funded this thing?
Speaker 6 (24:59):
We've got funding from quite a few just interested citizens
who want to increase voter robust voter participation basically in
all of our elections.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
All right, So I'm going to do. I wonder what
a lot of our listeners are going to do. And
I'm going to go to fired up to vote dot com.
And when I get there, because people want to Okay,
I didn't put the D in there. Hold on fired
up to Vote com. Okay, it's not letting me in there?
(25:31):
Do I guess? Do I need the www to start? Okay,
there we go.
Speaker 8 (25:36):
I don't need that.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Okay, it's okay. So I don't need that. I just
go straight fired up to Vote and peer to peer
vote platform that empowers people to do this and vision statement,
mission statement, how it works. Upload your list to your
fired up to Vote account, so they create an account,
and then the person I didn't get her authorisation to
mention her name on air, so I'm not going to.
But the person who contacted you that I saw yesterday
(25:59):
at lunch nineteen, she showed her list and so it
went through and it was a lot of people that
are mutual friends of ours. So she had uploaded up
uploaded her list of people like these are her friends.
I guess she did one by one or her contacts
or whatever, and then she could go through and see
as they had voted, which I think is just fantastic,
(26:19):
and then from there, I guess she contacted each one
of them, and she was telling me that in the
last election, y'all had something like seventy six percent of
the people who ended up being uploaded on the list
ended up voting, which is way higher than the general
voting stats. Hold on just a moment, Karen Henry and
Amy Huggins. Their group is THEPR group pr boutique dot com.
(26:41):
It's you haven't fired.
Speaker 5 (26:42):
Up to vote dot com and I haven't been to ye.
Speaker 9 (27:02):
Governor, you previously opposed an assault weapons ban, but it's
only later in your political career did you change your position.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Why I've become friends with school shooters.
Speaker 9 (27:11):
Oh my god, there.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
I become friends with school shooters.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
There.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
I've become friends with school shooters.
Speaker 8 (27:25):
There.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
There, There, I've become friends with school shooters. There, I
become friends with school shooters.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
There.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
There, I've become friends with school shooters. There, I've become
friends with school shooters.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
We have to stop waiting on the Republican Party. You
have to stop waiting on Donald Trump. We have to
stop waiting on the big donors. We have to stop
waiting on other people to solve the problems. Self governance
requires the self. It will always be people who step
in and fill the void. One of the highlights for me,
one of the takeaways from this year's election is how
(28:28):
many people have just had enough. They are fed up,
and they have engaged. They're people who are raising kids,
running a business, all the things that keep us busy
in life, and they have gotten involved. And this is
a great example. The website is Fired Up to Vote
dot com. Don't put the www in front of just
(28:48):
put fired up to Vote dot com. Karen Henry and
Amy Huggins of the pr Boutique put this thing together.
When did this site go live?
Speaker 6 (29:02):
In June. We got it going at the end of June,
actually right. We had our website in June, and then
we had the portal working, which is for how you
create your account and get to put in the names
of your friends and colleagues and neighbors in July, and
so we've been asking people to join since then, and
we hope people will join today so that we can
(29:24):
get every common sense, conservative fundamentals of government voter in
Harrison County to vote tomorrow because there are a lot
of them left.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
I love it. I love that you are people in
a retail sort of retail went to professional service. But
I love that you are people who are willing to
put yourselves out there and say the good of the
country comes for us. If you don't like us, you
don't have to a lot of people that do what
you do would hide from taking a stand, and I
think that's the reason for the decline in this country.
(29:55):
I really do, so a big applause for you on that.
Speaker 5 (30:00):
Could not agree with you more.
Speaker 6 (30:02):
Michael.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
We have to do it, we have to read because
nobody else is doing it. There are people that do it,
but not to the degree that we're trying to do it.
I just want to let you know that there's a
lot of GOOTV get off the vote groups, So we
had to come up with a name that was about
getting out the vote, but we couldn't use that name.
So that's all we came up with, fired Up to Vote.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
You know, the people I talked to, including the person
I saw at on Chesterday, they are not passively watching
this election. They are fired up. They have been awakened
from their slumber. They are well aware, they are damn
near obsessed with We've got to fix this. We've got
(30:48):
to fix the things in this country, and they have
to begin now. It cannot get any worse. And I
have to tell you it is a sleeping giant that
has been awakened, and that is the everyman, and especially
the every woman, because women will always do more in
campaigns than men. I learned that as a candidate. George
Strake taught me that twenty four years ago, and it
has turned out to be true. Men will talk, women
(31:10):
will act. It's just true. But this is this is
very interesting. Do you have a sense of how many
people have already logged onto this and are using this
and how you know the numbers of this, the seven.
Speaker 6 (31:24):
Hundred people have created accounts. Unfortunately, not all seven hundred
people have added names, but hundreds of people have added
their lists of friends and are tracking with us. We
are We have contacted through our group over two hundred
thousand voters in the Harris County area.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
That's incredible. So when someone creates their account and they
put in their list of people and it populates it
with whether that person has voted or not, and then
and then from there, do they need to have their
own contact information for that person, which presumably they would.
Speaker 6 (32:06):
They have to, they do not put that into our system.
We don't have any contact information on the people on
your list that like you. If you have your list
of people, yeah, you have their phone number and you
text them to remind them. We actually provide template texts
for people to send to their friends so that we
put links of voting locations and how to find your
(32:26):
sample ballot and voting location hours, just to make it
easy for people to tell their friends where to vote
and when to vote.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Our mutual friend who I saw, showed me she scrolled down,
I guess it's the emails you'll send out, and it
was it was, you know it was a calendar of days.
You know, on this day, do this, on this day,
do this, on this day, do this, And there was
an election day text to send to your list, and
(32:59):
I thought that was just that's just fantastic. I mean,
it makes it so easy, you know. When someone asked
me for a letter of recommendation, which I don't like
to do anymore because it's just too many people. But
if I am going to do it, I will say,
write me a draft, because if I have to sit
and come up with all this stuff and who to
send it to and all that, it makes it less
likely I'm going to do it. Or if you need
(33:20):
a letter for your Eagle Scout or whatever else, write
me a draft and then I'll go in and make
it my own. But I love that y'all are sending
out the templates. It's almost like y'all are good at
what you do.
Speaker 5 (33:33):
Who's were I'm in my car?
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Is the door open? Or you don't have your seat?
Speaker 5 (33:48):
No? I have it on. I hope y'all.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
So no, I'm just kidding. I hope y'all get so
much business from this. I hope that businesses out there
that would be a per fit for you go to
THEPR boutique dot com and say, I want to talk
to those two Patriot ladies who built that site to
get people out to vote, and I want y'all to
(34:12):
handle my PR and I don't care that y'all are
insanely expensive. I want to support y'all's business. I hope
that happens. I really do.
Speaker 6 (34:20):
Well. And I have to say Amy Huggins does not
work with Karen Henry at the PR boutique, but we've
worked together on Fired Up to Vote. Karen is solely
responsibility responsible for the PR boutique.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
So.
Speaker 6 (34:33):
Vote together.
Speaker 5 (34:34):
Yeah, And Michael, I want to say that there's so
many There's like four or five women that are very
dedicated to crafting those templates that Amy was talking about
that give all our users exactly the information they need
and they can kind of tailor it to what they
want to say that it's like you said, you get
the template, you can then you can make it your own.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Hey listen, but I'm not in the kitchen all them.
But give me a recipe and I can follow, right,
I can make something once somebody lays it out for me.
I think this is fantastic. Karen Karen Henry, Amy Huggins.
Good on you for getting out there and getting involved
and making a difference. It's fired up to vote dot com,
(35:15):
Fired up to vote dot com. You ladies are awesome.
You inspire me. This is this is the good news
to come out of all this.
Speaker 6 (35:24):
Well, we are starting my gol
It's that time, time, time.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Time, luck and load.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
So Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
That American dream is slipping away. I don't have to
tell you that you're feeling your lives. You see it
in your shrinking wages, in the cost of everything from
groceries to healthcare, to college, to filling up your car
at the gas station. It keeps going up, been up
(00:35):
and up, and the future keeps receiving further and further
and further away.
Speaker 4 (00:41):
That really speaks to a lot of pessimism here about
the American dream.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
How it feels like it's out of region.
Speaker 5 (00:47):
You know, home ownership for too many people in our
country now is elusive. You know, gone is the.
Speaker 6 (00:52):
Day of everyone thinking they could actually live the American dream.
Speaker 7 (00:54):
I'm here today with a message of hope for all Americans.
With your vote in this election, I will end inflation,
i will stop the invasion, and I will bring back
the American Dream.
Speaker 6 (01:06):
Lean on me.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
When you're not strong.
Speaker 8 (01:12):
And ill me your dream.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
I'll help you care.
Speaker 7 (01:20):
We're winning by a lot, We're leading by a lot.
We're leading in the polls. Every single state looks like
we're doing you and with your supporter November fifth, America
will be bigger, better, bolder, richer, safer, and stronger than
ever before.
Speaker 6 (01:38):
Lean on me.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
When you're not strong, and how me your dream? Now?
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Help you care for those who abandoned hope.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
We'll restore hope, and we'll welcome them into a great
national crusade to make America great again.
Speaker 7 (02:00):
That's why I'm here today, That's why I'm standing before you,
because we are going to finish what we started. We
started something that was America.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
We're going to complete the mission.
Speaker 7 (02:15):
We're going to see this battle through to ultimate victory.
We're going to make America great again.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
No ined somebody, this.
Speaker 7 (02:30):
Election is a choice between whether we will have a
four I think of this four more years, could you
stand it? It's four more years of incompetence, stupidity, and
failure and disaster, or whether we will begin the four
greatest years in the history of our country.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
I think we have a real chair make America great again.
Speaker 7 (02:54):
And quite simply put, we will very quickly make America
great again.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
I was scrolling this weekend. I needed a little break
from politics, and there weren't any football games on, so
I started scrolling through Prime, then Netflix, and there was
(03:33):
a I don't do real well with fiction. I'm more
of a documentary guy, And so there was one that
it was fiction, but I listened to the little pitch
you know, they give you a little pitch on it
when you scroll over in thirty seconds or a minute
or whatever it is. And it was about a doctor
(03:56):
who had taken over a broken medical institution in New
York City. I think it was called Amsterdam or New Amsterdam.
It's not important. But the doctor is standing in front
of the staff there and he says something to the
effect of, we're going to make this place great again,
(04:23):
and we're going to solve your problems. What are your pros?
How can I help you heal patients? And so some
guy says, I don't remember what it was, Oh, oh
he did, so I know. A woman screams out no
waiting rooms, and he says, why no waiting rooms? She said,
(04:45):
I want the patients to come in and go straight
to a room to be seen. And he said done,
no waiting rooms, and everybody looks around. He didn't have
a committee, he didn't very trump verdecisive. Then the next guy,
who like he could stand to eat health food, said,
(05:07):
we want health or I want health food And said,
what do you mean and he said, I want healthy
food in the cafeteria. Well, if you haven't been in
the hospital lately, that might not mean anything to you.
But I've spent a lot of time in the last
five years in Beaumont and Houston hospitals, a lot of time,
(05:33):
more time than you would imagine. Many is the day
I have come into the studio and I've been at
the hospital till two o'clock the night before and spent
a lot of time there, and I'm just beat. Absolutely,
Probably why I was so crank. That's my excuse for
why I was so cranky. I mean, that's my excuse. Okay,
(05:53):
you know, first it was my dad, and that it
was my mom. Then it was the overlap, and then
my mom just just went down hill over a long
period of time, and it was it was it was rough.
She had uh, she had great doctors, and I had
a great experience. I will tell you that with the
Houston Hospitals and doctors Tim Connolly, the lung doctor, and
Stan Dukman, the cardiologist. They did a wonderful job for her.
(06:17):
Did They did the best they could possibly do anyway,
and Uh, what's the other guy's name, the hip doctor
she had her hips replaced a couple of years ago.
What was his name. I'll tell you in the seconds.
That fonder, noorthopedic, great guy. Anyway, Yeah, it was always
(06:39):
interesting to me that you're at a hospital and the
only thing really available to eat is a McDonald's downstairs. Now,
I know we all love McDonald's because of the fries
and all that, but I try not to eat fast
food very often. And I don't know if you've ever noticed,
but in hospitals everybody's fat, especially the nurses there all fat. Now,
(07:01):
part of that is the type of person who makes
a good nurse is a caretaker, and caretaker personalities are
always fat because they don't they don't take any pains
for themselves, they don't work out, they don't worry about
what that. They just tend to other people. It's a ministry.
You're born that way. It's a countenance, a disposition, it's
(07:22):
it's who you are. And God bless them, Thank God
for them, because I can't imagine going to bed at night,
or for those of that work the night shift, going
to bed in the morning knowing I'm going to get
up six seven eight hours later and go change bedpans
and clean vomit. I mean, knowing I had to do
that tomorrow. You know, if somebody's sick in my house,
(07:45):
I know that we're going to get through this and
then we'll be back to normal. But when that is
your job, I just I don't know how you do that.
I don't know how you do that. My friend Mike
Silva the glass Man, says, we will be attending a
prayer service for our nation tonight at Saint Joseph Catholic
Church in Houston. I believe many other parishes are doing
(08:06):
the same here and across our country. It is important
that voters vote their conscience. I agree with that. I
agree with that. Seven one three nine nine, one thousand,
seven one thousand. We'll take some calls here. In just
(08:31):
a moment, I thought I had that ready but to go,
but I don't. All right, hang tight outro music, Maestro,
play it.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
Came in a little late on that. If I don't
want you to come in, you come in hot and
interrupt my conversation. If I do want you, do you
just there and look at you.
Speaker 8 (08:53):
Concone always dies.
Speaker 6 (08:56):
The Michael Berry just put her.
Speaker 8 (08:58):
Head down and she went to work.
Speaker 9 (09:25):
Governor, you previously opposed an assault weapons van, but it's
only later in your political career did you change your position. Why.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
I become friends with school shooters. That's what I've said.
I become friends with school shooters. I'm a knucklehead at times.
I've become friends with school shooters. Those same people elected
me to Congress for twelve years. I've become friends with
(09:56):
school shooters, and I'm proud of that service. I've become
friends with school shooters, and I think that's a healthy conversation.
I've become friends with school shooters. I've become friends with
school shooters. I've become friends with school shooters. I've become
friends with school shooters. They've become friends with school shooters.
(10:18):
They've become friends with school shooters.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
I didn't finish my story, as I often don't. About
that TV show, I'm told that it is called New Amsterdam.
So the guy says we want healthy food, and the
fellow down in the front, who's answering the questions, who's
offering to bring change to the hospital, ask for more details,
(10:44):
and he says, there's no healthy food here. The food
is awful and we're here for long hours. So he
said done, we'll have healthy food and everybody. There's just
if you've ever hated someone and then you found out
(11:05):
that the thing you hated them over it didn't really do,
or you found out that they were sorry, whatever happened,
and you ever you ever get that feeling, It really
is like a physical It's like you were you were,
you were shackled and it's taken off. It just floats
off of you. Something that you know you're going in
(11:30):
for an interview, or you're going in to meet you
know what could be your biggest deal, or you're gonna
have to give a speech, and then it turns out
it wasn't really a speech. It was a round table
and you never even had to speak. And then that
deal's over and you're just like, ah, there's just a
sigh it it you physically feel better, like losing one
(11:55):
hundred pounds just in a moment. It's just gone. So
many problems, so many things that cause so much angst
and frustration, resentment that could just be fixed. And the problem,
especially with organizations like a hospital system or a university,
(12:19):
or a public school or a public company, is that
weak people, and there's a certain type of people who
does this. Weak people cannot make decisions. This is important
to understand. Weak people do not have the confidence to
make decisions, and they don't like people who do. They
(12:43):
view people who make decisions as shoot from the hip, reckless,
dangerous people. They prefer paralysis by analysis, and they prefer
to make problems far more complicated than they actually are
(13:05):
by distributing and eventually eliminating the accountability for decision making.
So what they do is they create committees, and the
creation of the committee this is this is Harris County government,
and this is this is most organizations. Hey there's a
(13:26):
big problem. We got a big problem here. Everybody knows
it's a big problem. Okay, we're going to appoint a committee,
and there's publicity around the committee. And you know what
it does. It buys time because nothing has to be
done now, and whoever is most bothered by the problem
(13:50):
now they get a chance to have their say with
the committee. But first, let the committee get gathered. Let's
pay you know, a jury foreman, let's pick all our titles.
Let's waste a bunch of time on that. Then maybe
we'll take input from the public, or from the employees.
(14:11):
If it's at a company, the employees will all have
an opportunity to tell what the grievance is, and then
the committee will meet some more than the committee might
have a subcommittee on the committee, and we'll study this
m effort to death, and then eventually we'll water down
what should be done or what often happens this is
(14:34):
a public company thing to do is the CEO leaves, retires,
moves on. The next guy comes in says, oh, let's
slow down on all that stuff. They put all of
their people in their half. The committee's gone, and things
die by neglect. But the underlying problem never gets solved
(14:55):
because you don't have decisive people and you don't have
a structure in your organzation that is a problem solving structure.
You look at how many functions of where the rubber
hits the road that major corporations have to outsource, that
major corporations don't innovate any longer. Major corporations go looking
(15:21):
and they find a three person company in Salsby, Texas
or Hammond, Louisiana that is figuring out super conductivity or
that's figuring out you know, a frictionless process to do this,
or a downhold fluid that is a fluid that will
(15:42):
you know withstand this and do this and do this.
That level of innovation is being done out of some
thousand square foot warehouse in a strip center of warehouse.
It's a whole row of warehouses, and there'll be initials
on it. DT Investments or DT Engineering or whatever else.
(16:07):
That's why folks our show sponsor Sparks Engineering, Spaarx Engineering.
You get companies that are going and blowing. They're a
big company, they've been a big company for a long time,
but when they have an actual problem that needs to
be solved, they don't have the expertise in house to
do that. Because if you don't have the expertise, you
(16:32):
don't know how to go get the expertise, and often
you don't know that you need the expertise, So you
hire a bunch of other people like yourself, and before
you know it, you end up a company. And every
company has this danger. You end up a company full
of people with MBAs, not one of whom can actually
(16:53):
do anything other than be a corporate employee, which means
show up to work, go to meetings, sit through sexual harassment.
Sit through this, sit through this, sit through this, ensure
that everything we do is in full compliance. There's no innovation,
no creativity, there's no vision. So that's why you have
(17:14):
to have these little companies. And that's why little companies
are always being bought up by big companies in the
tech sphere. You look at how often Apple or Google
is buying a smaller company, or Netflix for that matter,
they're going out. We got to figure out how to
distribute this, We got to figure out how to code this.
(17:36):
And for the billions of dollars they have in payroll,
they don't have anybody that can figure out this, this
and this. But there's some little company out of a
guy's garage in Bellevue or two hours from San fran
or an hour or in Smithville or a bass Drop,
(17:57):
and they'll just go in and buy that guy, him
and his three partners, and they'll give him crazy money,
thirty million bucks, which is nothing to them, and then
they bring his technology in. And every time, because I
talk to these people, not every day, I talk to
these people a lot, they're excited, Oh I'm gonna get
(18:17):
my cash. I'm gonna get thirty million bucks. Well, this
gonna be great. So they get their thirty million bucks
and they got to work there for two years, and
within two weeks they realized why that company could never
create what this guy created out on his own, because
there's no deciders. Trump is a decider and ninety nine
percent of people are not, and that's what scares them about.
Speaker 8 (18:36):
From all the King of Ding and this other guy,
Michael Barry.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
This is the kind of guy you like to smacking ass.
Speaker 4 (19:01):
The names have changed, the games, the same lord getter
around for weekend an this pain.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Imma loves go in on.
Speaker 8 (19:15):
The crime is high.
Speaker 1 (19:16):
They stole my car. You should have been a better borders.
Speaker 8 (19:21):
Are Kama loves go in On.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
You let crooks send Bud.
Speaker 4 (19:30):
You left the South yet then a sent have died,
kids lost and found in border town of Budget, never

I can't wait to say it by.
Speaker 1 (19:52):
Kama Loves go in On. You've cursed the right.
Speaker 4 (19:58):
You could be wrong. It's been four years. It's been
so long. Come I loves going home. We're gonna vote
for Trump. We're gonna send you home. We gotta rise
before we fall. I'm gonna use this boat time. I
(20:21):
can't stand the lord of y'all. I've seen your place.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
A million times.
Speaker 4 (20:32):
Every time TV's a yeah, don't.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
She tell me?
Speaker 1 (20:41):
How should just fall?
Speaker 4 (20:44):
Now's come up? Col I loves going home. We're gonna
send her home. Trump twenty four.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
That was filmed on somebody's phone on a cruise. Listeners
sent that as I get a lot of things of
the sorcerer. I don't actually know the guy's name, but
everyone was standing at rapt attention as he saying it.
So I don't know if it was open to the
public cruise or if it was a cruise of people
(21:26):
that shared the same values. I don't know, but nobody
interrupted him or boot or anything else. That's why the
audio quality is not so good. So I spoke this
morning to Karen Henry, who, along with Amy Huggins, is
involved with the making of the Fired Up to Vote
that I started the show with, and she has agreed
(21:46):
to come on the air and be subjected to all
sorts of awkward questions and otherwise impertinence.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
Is Karen.
Speaker 5 (21:56):
Hid the two of you at the same time.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
Yes, Oh that's always terrible.
Speaker 6 (22:04):
We'll just be Huggins done too.
Speaker 5 (22:06):
What's that.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
I said? It's Amy Huggins.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
As well as in Bow Huggins's wife. Yes, sir, I
adore your husband. I don't get to see him much anymore,
but I used to back in the day. He has
the beer distributorship. Ramon, you want to be nice to him? Yeah,
that's how you get free beer. Yes, nice to him,
you get free beer. Okay, him and Johnny Johnson when
they called you picked upon up. That's just what you do.
(22:31):
Tell me about fired up to vote? Did y'all build that?
Speaker 5 (22:37):
Yes, Amy Chill, Yes.
Speaker 6 (22:39):
We After the twenty twenty two election, we realized that
we needed to get more people to the polls, and
this summer we created a website and created a portal
so that friends can get their friends to vote and
know when their friends vote. Because the best way to
get somebody to vote, it's for somebody they know and
(23:02):
or respect to ask them to vote. So this lets
people basically do what every politician asks their supporters to do,
which is to get ten friends to the polls. And
this way you know if your friends actually vote, because
the county produces that information every day, which I'm sure
you know.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Yeah, no, I don't.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
Don't.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
Yes, I do, but that does not mean you shouldn't
tell it. This is fantastic. I love that you ladies
did this. Can we talk about your day job?
Speaker 8 (23:31):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (23:32):
Which one?
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Well, the pr boutique.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
Well, thank you Michael for asking. Yes, I'm on the
pr btiqu We have offices in Houston, Austin, and San Antonio,
but I managed the Houston office.
Speaker 1 (23:45):
Well, I don't need to pitch, sweetheart. I'm on your
site all morning. I could tell the story. I just
want to make sure you were okay with me telling
you that's what you do. So I go on there
as I am George, and it's like, do you have
to be a model to work there? Because it's all
pretty women? What is going on with that? You got
one dude out there, Fulton Davenport, who's got a porn
(24:08):
name and looks like a model himself.
Speaker 5 (24:12):
Well he is a model. He's also our photographer and
he develops our website too.
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Oh my goodness, it's all pretty women there. That's a
lot of pretty women under one under one roof.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
Well, thank you for saying that. But they're smart, smart,
aggressive and very well uh trained, let's put it that way.
Speaker 8 (24:30):
I know that.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
From the I can't know that from the photos. All
I can see is and there's nothing wrong with being pretty.
Speaker 5 (24:39):
We're good to think. So I like them all too.
They're all great. I know you're kidding, b No, but
they are.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Even you two are beautiful. Everybody on there is beautiful. Question. So,
so the goal in setting this up? Who funded this thing?
Speaker 6 (24:59):
We've got funding from quite a few just interested citizens
who want to increase voter robust voter participation basically in
all of our elections.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
All right, So I'm going to do. I wonder what
a lot of our listeners are going to do. And
I'm going to go to fired up to vote dot com.
And when I get there, because people want to Okay,
I didn't put the D in there. Hold on fired
up to Vote com. Okay, it's not letting me in there?
(25:31):
Do I guess? Do I need the www to start? Okay,
there we go.
Speaker 8 (25:36):
I don't need that.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Okay, it's okay. So I don't need that. I just
go straight fired up to Vote and peer to peer
vote platform that empowers people to do this and vision statement,
mission statement, how it works. Upload your list to your
fired up to Vote account, so they create an account,
and then the person I didn't get her authorisation to
mention her name on air, so I'm not going to.
But the person who contacted you that I saw yesterday
(25:59):
at lunch nineteen, she showed her list and so it
went through and it was a lot of people that
are mutual friends of ours. So she had uploaded up
uploaded her list of people like these are her friends.
I guess she did one by one or her contacts
or whatever, and then she could go through and see
as they had voted, which I think is just fantastic,
(26:19):
and then from there, I guess she contacted each one
of them, and she was telling me that in the
last election, y'all had something like seventy six percent of
the people who ended up being uploaded on the list
ended up voting, which is way higher than the general
voting stats. Hold on just a moment, Karen Henry and
Amy Huggins. Their group is THEPR group pr boutique dot com.
(26:41):
It's you haven't fired.

Speaker 9 (27:02):
Governor, you previously opposed an assault weapons ban, but it's
only later in your political career did you change your position.
Speaker 2 (27:08):
Why I've become friends with school shooters.
Speaker 9 (27:11):
Oh my god, there.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
I become friends with school shooters.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
There.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
I've become friends with school shooters.
Speaker 8 (27:25):
There.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
There, There, I've become friends with school shooters. There, I
become friends with school shooters.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
There.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
There, I've become friends with school shooters. There, I've become
friends with school shooters.
Speaker 1 (28:04):
We have to stop waiting on the Republican Party. You
have to stop waiting on Donald Trump. We have to
stop waiting on the big donors. We have to stop
waiting on other people to solve the problems. Self governance
requires the self. It will always be people who step
in and fill the void. One of the highlights for me,
one of the takeaways from this year's election is how
(28:28):
many people have just had enough. They are fed up,
and they have engaged. They're people who are raising kids,
running a business, all the things that keep us busy
in life, and they have gotten involved. And this is
a great example. The website is Fired Up to Vote
dot com. Don't put the www in front of just
(28:48):
put fired up to Vote dot com. Karen Henry and
Amy Huggins of the pr Boutique put this thing together.
When did this site go live?
Speaker 6 (29:02):
In June. We got it going at the end of June,
actually right. We had our website in June, and then
we had the portal working, which is for how you
create your account and get to put in the names
of your friends and colleagues and neighbors in July, and
so we've been asking people to join since then, and
we hope people will join today so that we can
(29:24):
get every common sense, conservative fundamentals of government voter in
Harrison County to vote tomorrow because there are a lot
of them left.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
I love it. I love that you are people in
a retail sort of retail went to professional service. But
I love that you are people who are willing to
put yourselves out there and say the good of the
country comes for us. If you don't like us, you
don't have to a lot of people that do what
you do would hide from taking a stand, and I
think that's the reason for the decline in this country.
(29:55):
I really do, so a big applause for you on that.
Speaker 5 (30:00):
Could not agree with you more.
Speaker 6 (30:02):
Michael.
Speaker 5 (30:03):
We have to do it, we have to read because
nobody else is doing it. There are people that do it,
but not to the degree that we're trying to do it.
I just want to let you know that there's a
lot of GOOTV get off the vote groups, So we
had to come up with a name that was about
getting out the vote, but we couldn't use that name.
So that's all we came up with, fired Up to Vote.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
You know, the people I talked to, including the person
I saw at on Chesterday, they are not passively watching
this election. They are fired up. They have been awakened
from their slumber. They are well aware, they are damn
near obsessed with We've got to fix this. We've got
(30:48):
to fix the things in this country, and they have
to begin now. It cannot get any worse. And I
have to tell you it is a sleeping giant that
has been awakened, and that is the everyman, and especially
the every woman, because women will always do more in
campaigns than men. I learned that as a candidate. George
Strake taught me that twenty four years ago, and it
has turned out to be true. Men will talk, women
(31:10):
will act. It's just true. But this is this is
very interesting. Do you have a sense of how many
people have already logged onto this and are using this
and how you know the numbers of this, the seven.
Speaker 6 (31:24):
Hundred people have created accounts. Unfortunately, not all seven hundred
people have added names, but hundreds of people have added
their lists of friends and are tracking with us. We
are We have contacted through our group over two hundred
thousand voters in the Harris County area.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
That's incredible. So when someone creates their account and they
put in their list of people and it populates it
with whether that person has voted or not, and then
and then from there, do they need to have their
own contact information for that person, which presumably they would.
Speaker 6 (32:06):
They have to, they do not put that into our system.
We don't have any contact information on the people on
your list that like you. If you have your list
of people, yeah, you have their phone number and you
text them to remind them. We actually provide template texts
for people to send to their friends so that we
put links of voting locations and how to find your
(32:26):
sample ballot and voting location hours, just to make it
easy for people to tell their friends where to vote
and when to vote.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Our mutual friend who I saw, showed me she scrolled down,
I guess it's the emails you'll send out, and it
was it was, you know it was a calendar of days.
You know, on this day, do this, on this day,
do this, on this day, do this, And there was
an election day text to send to your list, and
(32:59):
I thought that was just that's just fantastic. I mean,
it makes it so easy, you know. When someone asked
me for a letter of recommendation, which I don't like
to do anymore because it's just too many people. But
if I am going to do it, I will say,
write me a draft, because if I have to sit
and come up with all this stuff and who to
send it to and all that, it makes it less
likely I'm going to do it. Or if you need
(33:20):
a letter for your Eagle Scout or whatever else, write
me a draft and then I'll go in and make
it my own. But I love that y'all are sending
out the templates. It's almost like y'all are good at
what you do.
Speaker 5 (33:33):
Who's were I'm in my car?
Speaker 2 (33:42):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Is the door open? Or you don't have your seat?
Speaker 5 (33:48):
No? I have it on. I hope y'all.
Speaker 1 (33:52):
So no, I'm just kidding. I hope y'all get so
much business from this. I hope that businesses out there
that would be a per fit for you go to
THEPR boutique dot com and say, I want to talk
to those two Patriot ladies who built that site to
get people out to vote, and I want y'all to
(34:12):
handle my PR and I don't care that y'all are
insanely expensive. I want to support y'all's business. I hope
that happens. I really do.
Speaker 6 (34:20):
Well. And I have to say Amy Huggins does not
work with Karen Henry at the PR boutique, but we've
worked together on Fired Up to Vote. Karen is solely
responsibility responsible for the PR boutique.
Speaker 2 (34:31):
So.
Speaker 6 (34:33):
Vote together.
Speaker 5 (34:34):
Yeah, And Michael, I want to say that there's so
many There's like four or five women that are very
dedicated to crafting those templates that Amy was talking about
that give all our users exactly the information they need
and they can kind of tailor it to what they
want to say that it's like you said, you get
the template, you can then you can make it your own.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Hey listen, but I'm not in the kitchen all them.
But give me a recipe and I can follow, right,
I can make something once somebody lays it out for me.
I think this is fantastic. Karen Karen Henry, Amy Huggins.
Good on you for getting out there and getting involved
and making a difference. It's fired up to vote dot com,
(35:15):
Fired up to vote dot com. You ladies are awesome.
You inspire me. This is this is the good news
to come out of all this.
Speaker 6 (35:24):
Well, we are starting my gol
