Speaker 1 (00:03):

Arry Show is on the air.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Hey, Lauren, don't just sit over here singing. Why don't

Yeah, real real, real, real nights. Go head on, Jasis.

Speaker 5 (01:26):
You maybe out the days here the saar rest's chief
and until menight you can stop.

Speaker 7 (01:35):
And you up there.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
South Park weighed in on the college football situation as
only South Park can do.

Speaker 7 (01:51):
Seen Helen, a representative from another prestigious.

Speaker 4 (01:53):
Institution is here to see you.

Speaker 2 (01:55):
What centerment? Hello, dah, the name is Eric P.

Speaker 5 (02:01):
Cartman.

Speaker 2 (02:02):
I'm a well respected owner in the slave trade and
the what, my peaches, what a wonderful office you got
your zell y'all certainly got yourself a lucid and bid
the dog well, let me get right down to it then,
Like yourself, I'm also in the slave trade, but at
the moment I found myself in a little quandary with

(02:23):
legal issues, was wondering if you could share some secrets.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
I have no idea what you're talking about.

Speaker 2 (02:32):
You have some mighty strong looking workers here. I'd be
willing to offer you forty dollars for two of the
white ones and fifty for the blacks.

Speaker 1 (02:40):
Are you referring to our student athletes?

Speaker 2 (02:42):
Student athletes? Hold, that is brilliant. Up now, when we
sell their likeness for video games, how do we get
around paying for our slaves student athletes?

Speaker 3 (02:53):
Then?

Speaker 2 (02:54):
Look, there are good reasons why our student athletes cannot
be paid.

Speaker 8 (02:58):
Young man.

Speaker 2 (02:59):
If they got paid, then how do we make all
our money? Right? We do not own slaves, and we
have no desired to own slaves. But of course you
own slaves, because right, of course you don't have desired
owned slaves.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
Signed neither do I.

Speaker 2 (03:17):
And if there was any government agency listening in on
this here conversation, they should know that we're not talking
about slave owner ship down.

Speaker 4 (03:27):
All right?

Speaker 2 (03:27):
So now how do you get around not paying your slaves?
Get out?

Speaker 1 (03:30):
This is a prestigious university, and I am not saying
what more work do you?

Speaker 2 (03:35):
You think you can do whatever you want, But because
your corporation is a university, this country was founded on
the ideas that one corporation couldn't hug all the slaves
while the rest of us wollowing povertych Screw you, simon,
I'm going home.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
I do find it interesting that we all know exactly
what's happening here. A large number of college football players
will stick to football. This is also true of basketball,
but we'll stick to football in this case. I don't
know what percentage, but I think we can all agree
it's a large number of college football players are young

(04:13):
inner city black kids. Those kids are in their prime
earning capacity. If you look at the arc of their
life from the time they are eighteen to twenty two.
When they turn twenty two, let's not talk about hypothetically

(04:34):
what we'd like if you were to look at the
data of what becomes of their life. For most of
those kids, if there is nil in effect as it
is now uncapped, those kids are going to make more
money during those four years than the rest of their
lives combined, unless they go pro. That is a fact.

(04:58):
Now you can say, well that' that doesn't have to
be that way. No, it doesn't. Nothing has to be
the way it is. But that is the reality. Why
wouldn't we By the way, as Dan Pastorini says, everybody's
going to stop playing. It's just a question to win.
Some people stop playing in high school, some people stop

(05:19):
playing in college. Some people stop playing when they get
cut after the first year. Some make three, some make ten,
and then there's Tom Brady and George Blanda. But everybody's
going to stop playing, and everybody's going to stop playing
when they are, relatively speaking a young man. And for

(05:40):
almost every NFL player or every player who ever makes
a penny playing football, which is the tiniest percentage because
most people play football for the fun of it. But
if you do get to the point that you actually
get paid to play because you're entertaining to the people
up in the stands of time on which you can

(06:01):
do that is frighteningly short compared to every other career.
So why shouldn't you be able to maximize your earnings
during those few years you can play. Doesn't that make sense?
So then we moved to the portal. By the way,
with Wesley Hunt's entrance into the Senate race, I will

(06:26):
open the phone lines for you to call and say
who you're voting for, and in just a few seconds.
Why don't need a long story. Don't just tell me
who you're voting against. Tell me who you're voting for,
and give me one reason for it. Now, if you're

(06:46):
for Wesley Hunt or Ken Paxton and the reason you're
willing to vote for them is you hate Cornyn, fine,
but how do you choose between the two of them?
You can say both of those seven one three nine
nine nine one thousand, seven one three nine nine nine
one thousand, seven one three nine, one thousand. So then
we moved to this next issue, and this is the
new one. People have taken them all, right, man, Okay,

(07:07):
pay the damn players. That's fine. Pay the players, that's fine.
You mean like you get paid. You know, I don't
think you should get paid. I don't know why you
get paid. It makes sense. You get paid well, because
because I lift boxes and drive a forklift. Well, we
like caving you around. You're part of the part of

(07:27):
the group. There's a camaraderie to it all. We thought
you liked being here. I mean, we feed you lunch
every day and breakfast. We give you a uniform to wear.
Why do you need to get paid well, Well, but
that's it. No, no, no, no, no no, We're already
paying you. We feed you every day, we give you
health insurance, we give you a uniform. There's water available

(07:49):
for you to drink. We bring in donuts three days
a week. What why do you need to get paid well,
But uh, because I would like to get money. No,
you don't need to get money. They don't need to
get money. You don't need to get money. Why do
you need to get money? But the other one becomes

(08:10):
the portal. I don't like them moving around. I don't
like the fact that they can move school. Okay, you
stay stuck at your job for a minute. All right,
phone lines on the Senate race seven one three nine
nine nine one thousand. Allow need to introduce myself.

Speaker 6 (08:22):
My name is Mitch Michael, Berry's genius.

Speaker 1 (08:26):
I'm still get an email from a fellow. Use of
Hallelujah for Antifa spoof song really disappointing, tasteless, taking a
song meant to remember the little girls who perished in
a tragedy. You are right, I can turn the dial
and I will. You may not use my name on air,

(08:52):
so eager to be mad, so eager to boycott, so stupid.
I took the time because I was feeling patient to
explain that that song, which we didn't write, I discovered
it and I love it, which is a spoof of Antifa,

(09:13):
a murderous terror organization that President Trump has labeled as such.
Using that song to spoof them was not our idea,
but we thought it was pretty good, so we amplified
it by playing it again. And it'll be posted to
our blog today and they'll get a bunch of hits
off of it, and everybody wins, and we were all entertained.
But here's the part. Oh boy is so angry, He's

(09:37):
angry on behalf of the Camp Mystic Girls, because this
was their song and we shouldn't use that song for
anyone else, except it's not their song. There's a delightful
young lady who made a wonderful tribute song to the
girls who died on July fourth and used the song

(10:03):
Hallelujah as the basis for it, But that's not the song.
The song was written in nineteen eighty four by Leonard Cohen,
a mostly nonpracticing jew who wanted to find a way
to mix the music he heard from his cantor growing
up in Temple with the Christian songs he heard at

(10:27):
weddings and funerals, and I think he did an amazing
job of it. But truthfully, nobody would know the song.
Most people wouldn't know the song if it hadn't been
picked up by JJ Kele and then later by Jeff Beck.
It is not an overtly religious song to start with.
It's been used at funerals and weddings and everything in between.

(10:47):
But to suggest that we somehow took this song which
jackass there had never heard before the middle of July
when this young lady used the song, and that we
have perverted it, and that is poor taste. That's just
the kind of people that are running around that late
night television makes fun of that claim to be among

(11:09):
us and embarrass us. I'm man over here. Why are
you mad? Y'all took and hallllo you song for them
girls in the river flood, and y'all used it for
Antifa to make fun of ant Tifa, and that's horrible.
I ain't for it, and I'm going to go somewhords else. Okay, Well,
that's that's not what the song is. The song's been

(11:30):
around for over forty years. That little girl who wrote
the song made the song off of an original song.
This girl who made this song based it on that
same original song. But that song is not a camp
mystic song. It was just used in the camp mystic case.
It might have been used in John and Susie's wedding

(11:51):
as well, but we weren't spoofing John and Susie's wedding.
Maybe take ten seconds to look something up before you
go far hiring off your boycott and your anger. Are
are you just walking around looking for something to be
angry at? Because by God, I want to lead a
boycott too, will lead a boycott. Boycott stupidity and start

(12:11):
with yourself seven nine nine, nine one thousand. All right,
it is early. It'll be interesting to see how ideas
will grow and develop. Some people who love Wesley Hunt
today will not love him by election day. Some people
who love Ken Paston today will not love him on
election day. Some people who still support John Corning today
will not support him on election day. Because there will

(12:33):
be things that change. There will be revelations, there will
be how the campaign is going. There maybe people who
come into the campaign and people who leave. I did
hear from Steve Toath, who's running against Dan Crenshaw in
Congressional District two, that John Bunk, who was the third
candidate in that race, which would mean you would be
splitting the anti Crenshaw vote, is moving out of that race,

(12:54):
which is Congressional District two and into Congressional District thirty eight.
That is the seat that will be vacated by Wesley Hunt,
and I suspect there will be others. So a the
beginnings of the reshuffling of the deck with candidates moving out.
We've got Creighton going to Texas Tech the state senator.

(13:18):
We've got Brett Ligan in that race. I think there's
some more folks. Well, as time goes on, we will
bring those bring you those developments. We've got the comptroller,
Glenn Hagar leaving to take over at Texas A and M.
So you've got four candidates in that race. You've got
a very very active attorney general's race, and you're going

(13:39):
to see quite a bit of movement in the coming
months for the March primary. But let's get to your votes.
I'm going to run to phones today. This is only
our second day to do this. Mike and Colorado, you're up.
Who you are?

Speaker 3 (13:53):
Hey, Mark? I am for Ken Paxton, and I fear
that I like Wesley Hunt, but that he's going to
get torn and elected. So but I think Ken Paxton
has earned it.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
Let me stop precent. How how would it work that
Wesley Hunt would get John Cornyn elected?

Speaker 3 (14:15):
Well, at least he's going to get He's going to
split the vote in the anti corning.

Speaker 1 (14:23):
Okay, I think that presumes that case, But what if
that's well no, No, I get everybody everybody plays political consultant,
but I think sometimes they get it wrong. And sometimes
this this sort of armchair political consulting makes people say
and do things they're not accurate. What if Wesley Hunt's

(14:44):
entrance into the race splits the anti Paxton vote. There
are some people who are going to vote for Cornyan
who don't like Paxton because the media has beat up
on Paxton so many times that they figure whether smoke
there's fire. Now. Most of those didn't buy that with
Trump because Trump's God. But Paxton doesn't get to be God.

(15:06):
He still has to be a man. So if they
keep attacking him this much, he must be less than
God and less than perfect. So I'm going to vote
for somebody other than Paxton. So they go back home
where they're from. They go back to roost, which is Cornin.
What if the anti Paxton forces that cornn has been

(15:28):
driving say I don't like Cornin, I don't like Paxton.
I'm going over here to Wesley Hunt, in which case
Cornyn doesn't get those votes. We don't know how big
that block of votes is yet, but if that's the case,
then you force a runoff. If Paxton gets corn in
a runoff, don't waste the time holding a vote because

(15:50):
he will beat him. Well, let's just say he'll beat him,
and we don't know what that number is going to
look like. Yet we don't know where people really are yet, Beth,
you're up who you got Wesley.

Speaker 9 (16:03):
Hunt, absolutely no question about it.

Speaker 8 (16:06):
Why he is a man of integrity.

Speaker 9 (16:09):
He has served our country.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
Phil and Joe. Sorry, I had to cut you off
of killing Joe. You're coming up call? I used to.
That's the use of Hallelujah in the movie Shrek. I
wonder if Richard is upset about that, he responded after
I laid out my comment. I know the history of

(16:32):
the song. I thought you were using an AI version
of the little girl who sang it. No you didn't.
They don't sound anything alike. You didn't know the history
you need. Your reaction got mad. This is what happens
when you've got people's adrenaline flowing at all time, mad
about everything all day. Every day, I hear from me, Hey,
well we need a boycott concrete. How come to much concrete?

(16:56):
What do you mean?

Speaker 6 (16:56):
Well?

Speaker 1 (16:57):
I read a story about it. You can't be mad
at everybody all the time. You start looking ridiculous, you
start looking paranoid. You've got to pick and choose. You
can't be mad at everything all the time, or people
who aren't mad at everything all the time, look at
you like a nut. And then it comes time for
you to say, hey, vote for Trump. Vote for Trump
because the other side's evil, other side's evil. According to you,

(17:17):
everything's evil. Everything's evil all the time. Nothing's not evil.
Remember you got mad at me. Remember you got mad
at Bob, You got mad at Susie, you get mad
at everybody. You're mad all the time about everything. You
don't have any credibility left. And you don't see yourself.
By the way, you're probably unpleasant to live with, be around,
work with, work for do business with, dial it back.

(17:41):
You look like a fool. You're mad at everything all
the time. And every time you mad at something and
you scream and holler, you shoot another bullet and then
you're out. You got nothing left. You have no ability
to bring change in society because nobody trusts your endorsement,
your opinion, your recommendation, because they're tired of you being

(18:02):
mad at everything. You have no credibility left. Just heard
from Wesley Hunt and he will be joining us tomorrow
morning at eight fifteen. Our policy on candidates for office.
You know, let me go through this first, and I'm
going to explain on our policy on candidates for office.
It won't matter, because if people want to be on
the air, they're going to get mad. And if they

(18:24):
want to be on the air and they're not allowed
on the air, then they're going to get mad. And
there's really there's no policy you can have to keep
that from happening. Phil from Falls Church of Virginia. I
think on the Orange Line, if I remember correctly.

Speaker 8 (18:36):
You're up, Sir Patay Wesley Hunt.

Speaker 1 (18:40):
And that is because.

Speaker 8 (18:42):
Comment aviation pilot west Point Graduate, a sixty four pilot.
And if you've ever known these guys, nobody's going to
tell him what to do. Nervous of steel ice cole
vains guys. He's a true warrior, all right now, I
want to make sure that's the kind of guy we want.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
Are a fellow veteran, I am okay. I wasn't sure
you were talking about him or you? And then did
you say sixty.

Speaker 8 (19:07):
Four A sixty four AA sixty four is a PATCHI helicopter?

Speaker 1 (19:12):
Oh my bad? Okay, all right, okay? And did you
fly a patch Apache helicopters? Also?

Speaker 8 (19:18):
I did not. They wouldn't let me fly anything. I
sat in the back of UH one's and jumped out
of C one thirties.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
All right, on, man, how old are you?

Speaker 8 (19:27):
I'm seventy three, okay, so fifth Vietnam, post Vietnam. I
came in right at the end of Vietnam, graduated in Texas,
A and M nineteen seventy four, and uh vinnam ended
when I was second lieutenant, niece second have born divisity.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
And then what did you do?

Speaker 4 (19:46):
Uh?

Speaker 8 (19:47):
Stayed in, stayed in eighty seconds, stayed in Special Forces,
and second Army Division did a lot of different things
in that Estates Armament retired after twenty two years.

Speaker 1 (19:58):
If Wesley Hunt had not entered the race, who would
you have voted for?

Speaker 8 (20:03):
Ten past?

Speaker 1 (20:03):
Okay, all right, very helpful, Phil, Thank you, sir. I
appreciate you.

Speaker 5 (20:09):
So well.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
Let me get this one other one in and I
have a thought on the on the race, Joe, I
love the new phone system, just not used to it yet. Joe,
you're on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead.

Speaker 6 (20:19):
Voting for Ken Paxton because he's a dog, he's a fighter,
and he wins. He's the only one in this race
that can articulate the Chris Serve a position in Congress
the way we want.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
All right, and your thoughts on Wesley Hunt.

Speaker 6 (20:37):
I think Wesley Hunt's a great candidate, but I want
someone in there that's a braceist, that's going to challenge
the Democrats, that's gonna be a fighter. I know Wesley
Hunt is as well, but Ken Paxton has a proven
track record, So for that, I get him the leg up.

Speaker 1 (20:55):
All right, thank you, seven one thousand, seven one thousand.
So a number of people think that I think I
mentioned Wesley Hunt will be our guest at eight fifteen
tomorrow morning. A lot of people the immediate reaction at

(21:15):
first Blush is Paxton versus Cornyn. Paxton is leading in
the polls, and I think Paxton beats corn There's no
doubt about that in my mind. And the belief is
if Wesley Hunt gets in, that splits the vote and
re elects Cornyn. I don't believe that's how the numbers

(21:38):
will work out. And here is why I say that.
When you look at political consultants and observers, operatives and
strategists will often use the term lane. What is the
lane of a candidate? When you look at the lane,
John Cornyn has establishment guy, a guy that people are

(22:06):
going to vote for because he's the name you know,
a guy's gonna vote for because he have a lot
of money behind him, and they're going to keep telling
you John Wayne mccorny, and he's one of us. He's
a good guy, he's a fighter.

Speaker 3 (22:16):
Right.

Speaker 1 (22:17):
Then, if you look at the lane of Paxton, that
is a it's a wide lane that encompasses two major components.
Number One, fighter guy that is tough. A lot of
Texas Republican voters. Remember, if just stay focused here, this
is a primary, not a general. Texas Republican voters like

(22:39):
a fighter. When George P. Bush was on his four
wheeler on the canyon there, he looked ridiculous. And the
Bush family already has that reputation of this sort of
patrician family that vacations in Maine. And here was little
George P. Look at me? How you turned in? And

(23:01):
it was ridiculous and it was the best Carl Road
could do. But it didn't add up. And he's Jeb
Bush's son. Again. Trump really exposed this kind of low energy, soft, flabby,
pasty Republican candidate, and I think the base has that
has resonated with the base. Paxton comes from that platform.

(23:26):
He comes from the fighter. Trump made it such that
you can be indicted, you can have a woman divorce
you, you can have people criticize you, you can have people
say you're a terrible person. And if a Republican primary
believes that you have been wrongfully accused or that it
has nothing to do with your job, then I think

(23:47):
by and large, in the main it does not affect
your overall. It might cost you a few percentage points,
and for now it's gonna be a long, rueling campaign.
For now, I would say that's where Ken Paxton is.
So there's your two way. Each of them has their lane.
The question is who's lane does Wesley Hunt take. Everybody

(24:09):
assumes Wesley Hunt takes part of Ken Paxton's lane. I
don't believe that's true, and I'm gonna show you that
within the next two weeks, you're going to see John
Cornyn start attacking Wesley Hunt. There's a reason for that.
He's going to stop attacking Paxton and start attacking Wesley Hunton.
He's going to attack him Hart watching.

Speaker 9 (24:27):
We'll reprint them or refine your money.

Speaker 2 (24:29):
No matter who's fault, it is the very show photo map.

Speaker 8 (24:33):
Your photo matters.

Speaker 2 (24:36):
It's a man tend he was there.

Speaker 10 (24:39):
It was on this day three years ago the great
Vienne sausage mystery saga came to an end when Ramon
Roebliss Junior, who turned eighty yesterday, discovered that the Viennye
sausages that had been stolen, lost, misplaced, or couldn't be
found were.

Speaker 1 (25:00):
Located exactly where they were supposed to be in the cabinet. Yes,
the chocolate cake for the weekend was from Treebeards, the
yellow cake with the chocolate icing. Thank you to all
of you who sent in an email. A number of

(25:21):
you got upset over whatever, because you get upset over everything.
We had I think four hundred people comment on a
great place to get a cake in the neighborhood, which
means that a number of cake places got to sell
cakes to people who didn't know about them ten minutes ago.
And that's a good thing. How about relax a little

(25:42):
calm down so people still take you seriously. Wesley Hunt's
announcement that he is entering the Senate race shakes up
a two way into a three way. We're going to
record the calls we get today and we will look
back the day before the election at how people's opinions

(26:03):
have changed. Some people like Wesley Hunt today and won't
like him on that day. Some people like Ken Paxton
today and won't like him some people, same thing with
John Cornyn. That's what elections do. You start slinging mud
at somebody. Sometimes some of that sticks. Some people are
gonna say Ken Paxton today, and later they're gonna say, hey,

(26:25):
do they know much about Hunt? I really like him.
Some people are gonna say Wesley Hunt today, and in
time they're going to go back to Paxton. That's how
campaigns work. And you take a snapshot today, but that
snapshot is not how everything ends. Proof positive. I told
you earlier the first week of the college football season,

(26:45):
of the four top teams that were projected, three of
those four are not in the top twenty five any longer.
As Denny Green said, Chad, that's why you play the game.
That's why you play the game. They are exactly who
we thought they were, except in this case that's not
always going to be true. Mindy, you're on the Michael

(27:07):
Berry Show. Who will you take? Sweetheart?

Speaker 9 (27:10):
Ken Paxton. I like the fact that he's Magan, he's
a fighter, and he has a proven record and all
the times that he went up against the Biden administration
and one no on Wesley Hunt. He was one of
the forty seven Republican House members that voted to get

(27:31):
out of Syria within that one and eighty time day
time frame that Biden had set up, and so he
was he was in that group. So I definitely don't
believe in him.

Speaker 1 (27:43):
And let me ask you why. I mean that vote
was that and that vote mattered to you that much?
Or do you just not like you you.

Speaker 9 (27:51):
Seem I feel like that contributed to what eventually happened
getting out in such a just a lot of turmoil,
and it was just leaving. It just felt like it
was the wrong decision to broadcast a time period in
which we were to get out and how we were
to get out to the world. And so I don't

(28:13):
trust him. I know he's got a great military career
and that's great. I'm not sure he's done anything much
in the House representatives that I know of. I looked
him up weeks ago, and I definitely don't want Corn
and I post every day on Twitter to get corn
and out.

Speaker 1 (28:31):
Mindy, for the record, I don't disagree with your opinion
on Syria. It wouldn't matter. It's the conversation that matters.
I just wanted to make sure you understand. Sometimes I
ask questions and push back to force people to explain
themselves better, and I would love to talk with you
about Syria. At some point. I think we're in violent
agreement on the matter. It turns out that everybody said

(28:52):
we had to get rid of a sad A. Sod's
a bad guy. Sod's a bad guy. Yes, he's a
bad guy, but he's a better bad guy that he's
going to be replaced with. No, No, I saw it.
That's a bad guy, all right, You're going to replace
him with a worse guy. That's also what happened in Libya.
That's also what happened in Egypt. That's also what happened
in Iraq. We have a very very nasty habit of
violating the Powell doctrine, which is if you break it,

(29:15):
you buy it, you fix it. We love to topple
leaders because they are imperfect leaders, and we don't understand
the regions well enough to understand that the person who's
going to replace that guy who's imperfect is going to
be far worse. At least we understand that in Saudi Arabia. Bill,
you're on the Michael Berry Show. What say you, sir?

(29:35):
Who are you for?

Speaker 4 (29:38):
I'm definitely for Paxton. I was at the four hour
and forty five minutes of hearing that this state House had.
It was a railroad job. I mean, one charge after
another after another, with no rebuttal at all. It was infuriating.
And like I live in Victoria. When Victoria you have

(30:00):
the Hurricane Harvey. We saw Ted Cruse five times right
here in Victoria's Ted Cruz loaded cars with water and
food for the people for an hour and a half
and sweat right through his clothes, all of his clothes.
We never saw John Cornon except one time at a school.

(30:23):
I hate John Cornyan. I love the Paxton. That the
Paxton is a junkyard dog and he's got teeth.

Speaker 1 (30:31):
I got it. I got it, bite, I'm gonna keep moving, Bill,
thank you, but I got it. Darcy. Who you with?

Speaker 7 (30:38):
I am with Ken Paxton. I actually block walked for
Wesley Hunt in his both of his campaigns for Congress,
his first one against Lizzie Fletcher. I just I was
a Ted Cruz supporter for him when he ran against
Trump in twenty sixteen. That was my first choice, and
I believe that Paxton is going to fight. He's been

(31:01):
so bullied by the establishment that when he gets to
d C, he's still going to have a lot of
fight left in him. And that's one of the things
I like the most about Ted Cruz is that he's
fighting day I got it.

Speaker 1 (31:17):
I hear that sentiment a lot in the emails that
what Ken Paxton has been through has proven he's been
through the fire and people like him as a result
of that. I think Wesley Hunt's challenge to start with
is from what I hear from a lot of people
is look, I really like him. I really like Wesley Hunt.

(31:38):
I'm just going with Paxton. And I had a similar
feeling when I ran for mayor, but people would say,
I really like you, but I'm going with Orlando Sanchez
because I went with him last time. That's not to
say Wesley Hunt cannot overcome that challenge. He has not
had to go through the fires that Ken Paxton has
to have an opportunity to prove himself worthy or unworthy,

(32:01):
and there are six months left. The President's endorsement would
make a world of difference he's not going to endorse Cornyn.
Many people thought that Wesley Hunt wouldn't get in unless
Trump endorsed him. He has now entered the race. There
was some talk Ken Paxton can lay claim to the
Trump endorsement, and Trump has endorsed him in the past

(32:22):
and he's carried a lot of water for Trump. I
suspect Trump stays out of that race because if there
are three different answers to how that could cause him
problems and how he doesn't want to mess the race up,
It's going to be very interesting. We'll talk to Wesley
Hunt tomorrow morning. Keep sending you your emails of your
thoughts on the race.
