Of course, the MSU Burns fantasy of lights and all these displays, this predates the LED lighting years by decades.

Terry McAdams: 00:07:19

Yeah.

But what these folks are doing. I don't know if this would even be possible at someone's residence to do a display this elaborate without LED technology.

Announcement: 00:07:39

I don't know that you physically could do it. I don't know that you would have enough service.

Terry McAdams: 00:07:43

You'd have to. Have to get another leg of power on.

Announcement: 00:07:46

Oh, yeah, you'd have to run over like. Was it Jingle all the Way? There's a Christmas show. It's one of. Actually one of my favorites.

Everybody talks about the Griswolds, but it's the one with Danny DeVito and Matthew Broderick in it. And they're the two stars for it. It's got some big names in it. And. And Danny DeVito goes and plugs in.

Terry McAdams: 00:08:36

Just remember, run across that last year.

Terry McAdams: 00:08:41

Yes.

Announcement: 00:08:41

Mike Hendren: 00:08:43

That's on the campus of Midwestern State University along Taft Boulevard. And like I said, you just got to get out of your car and walk it to really experience it. Electric Critters is also about to kick off.

It'll be November 29th through December 21st.

Announcement: 00:08:57

By the time you hear that, see this show, it'll probably be kicked in.

Mike Hendren: 00:09:00

Probably be kicked every Friday and Saturday night from 6:30 to 8:30. So, I mean, here's a. Here's a cool idea. Pick a Friday or Saturday night.

Go over to Electric Critters, walk that display and then head over to Midwestern State University and check them out. You can get done at electric critters by 8:30. Fantasy of Lights is on till 10. You still got time to.

It'll take you literally less than 10 minutes to make the drive from Electric Critters to the MSU campus.

Announcement: 00:09:27

Yeah, it depends on how busy the Fancy of Lights is. It'll take you. Won't take you long to get there, but if you get it stuck in the traffic.

Mike Hendren: 00:09:34

Yeah, it could take you a while to get parked. You plan to take at least 10 to 15 minutes to get parked, get out of your car, get to the displays and walk them, you know, and they'll have.

There's several nights they'll have, you know, people have cookies and hot chocolate and things like that at Fantasy of Lights. So. But Electric Critters, that's pretty cool in itself too. That's pretty elaborate displays that they do there too.

Announcement: 00:09:57

It's over at the Riverbend Nature Center.

Mike Hendren: 00:10:00

Yeah. All along those trails down there. I mean that, that can't be easy to set all that.

Announcement: 00:10:05

Mike Hendren: 00:10:06

So. But that's going on again 29th November through 21st December, every Friday and Saturday.

Enjoy the Christmas lights and the festivities.

It was a Dairy Queen 35 years ago. 40 years ago.

Terry McAdams: 00:10:45

That doesn't even look.

Mike Hendren: 00:10:46

Oh yeah.

Announcement: 00:10:47

They've done a lot of remodeling around it because the building itself was the original building.

Terry McAdams: 00:10:51

Usually you can go, oh, that was a Dairy Queen. Or that was a.

Announcement: 00:11:16

The Dairy Queens and then, then the Taco Mayo People came in and bought the building, bought those buildings. And there was Taco Mayo's everywhere for a long time in those. And then some of the Dairy Queens turned into Quarter Palaces.

Announcement: 00:11:40

This was probably early 80s. Yeah. When the arcades were blowing and going and.

Mike Hendren: 00:11:45

Yeah, yeah.

Terry McAdams: 00:11:46

Okay.

Mike Hendren: 00:11:46

In fact, there was one not far from where we lived on Old Iowa Park Road here in Wichita Falls. I think it was Old Iowa Park Road, which is business 287 and I think Covington. Yeah, there's one.

It was a car lot for a while there, but it was a Dairy Queen and then it was a Quarter Palace.

Announcement: 00:12:03

Where Texoma Community Credit Union now their indirect lending building is, right?

Mike Hendren: 00:12:13

Yes, yes, that's right.

Announcement: 00:12:14

That was originally a Dairy Queen. And I think it was a Quarter palace before it was Taco Mayo. Yeah, I know it was because Taco Mothers were around when we were in high school.

Mike Hendren: 00:12:21

I'll take you back further than that, Trey. Taco Burrito.

Announcement: 00:12:25

I remember Taco Burrito, but I don't remember where they were.

Mike Hendren: 00:12:28

Well, I can tell you where. I can tell you where. There was one on Jacksboro Highway. Jacksboro Highway. Kind of.

Kind of on that corner where there's a real estate office there now, I think right there. And then there was another one on Old Iowa Park Road again, where Tommy's Donuts was. I'll tell you, that was a Taco Burrito.

Announcement: 00:12:53

Old Iowa Park Road is so depressing to drive down.

Mike Hendren: 00:12:57

It is very depressing.

Announcement: 00:12:58

It was a hub for business at one time. And you could see all the. When you drive down Old Ohio Park Road years ago in the 70s, the 60s, the 70s, the 80s, and even in the 90s.

Even in the 90s, all those buildings had stuff in them.

Mike Hendren: 00:13:15

Yeah, yeah.

Announcement: 00:13:16

Big Nine Grocery was kind of one of the big anchors there.

Mike Hendren: 00:13:18

Yeah.

Announcement: 00:13:19

But all those little shops in those buildings where they were all full of businesses and now they're just.

Mike Hendren: 00:13:23

Well, before it was Big Nine Grocery, it was Piggly Wiggly.

Announcement: 00:13:26

Yeah.

Mike Hendren: 00:13:27

And then United Supermarket was a little further west from where they are now in that shopping center that's now, I think, almost totally empty, or maybe completely empty.

Announcement: 00:13:35

By the way, my wife did not believe there was A store called Piggly Wiggly. She thought I'd made it up. I said, no. And when we were actually in these.

There's still some of them in America that we were in the Southeast traveling, and we drove by and said, there's a Piggly Wiggly.

Mike Hendren: 00:13:51

They got them in Louisiana, too.

Terry McAdams: 00:13:52

And by the way, Don Jose Mexican restaurants. Oh, yeah, we got a restaurants. Is there more than one?

Mike Hendren: 00:14:00

I know where one is.

Terry McAdams: 00:14:01

Yeah. 24 years.

Announcement: 00:14:03

24 years.

Mike Hendren: 00:14:04

Wow.

Announcement: 00:14:05

They've got good. They've got really good Mexican food. But I think they're really also known for their margaritas.

Mike Hendren: 00:14:10

I was going to say the margaritas are legendary there. And I know people that go there just for the margaritas. They'll eat there.

But the main reason they go there is the margaritas are super good and apparently super cheap, too.

Announcement: 00:14:24

Yeah, they're reasonable price, but their chips and hot sauce are really good. So if you're in a margarita eater that chips, hot sauce, and queso, you can have a meal there and get your tipsy on or whatever.

Mike Hendren: 00:14:34

Don't, don't. Don't sleep on that salsa, man.

Announcement: 00:14:36

That is good.

Mike Hendren: 00:14:37

It's good stuff. Holy Lord, have mercy.

Announcement: 00:14:40

Don Jose's on the corner of 10th and Camp.

Terry McAdams: 00:14:43

2601. 10th. It's actually on 10th.

Mike Hendren: 00:14:46

Yeah. Obviously, it's corner. 10th and Camp.

Announcement: 00:14:48

Yeah.

Mike Hendren: 00:14:48

Okay. You know, sometimes parking gets to be a little bit of a challenge. Right around the restaurant. They've got a parking area right across the street.

Announcement: 00:14:54

Right.

Mike Hendren: 00:14:55

So you can park over there. And, you know, be careful crossing Kent Boulevard. There's a little bit of risk in that sometimes.

Terry McAdams: 00:15:02

Yes.

Announcement: 00:15:03

Especially if you had enough margaritas.

Mike Hendren: 00:15:04

Exactly.

Terry McAdams: 00:15:05

Yeah.

Mike Hendren: 00:15:05

If you're too loaded up. Well, first of all, don't get in your car and drive anywhere. Call a cabin. Don't call me, but call a cab. Yeah. Anyway, so that's it.

Don Jose Mexican Restaurant. There we go. All right. Shall we move on? Sure. Let's see here. There was a car show benefit for local radio host Keith Vaughn.

Of course, Keith is one of the jocks on 104.7. The bear.

Announcement: 00:15:30

The Bear.

Mike Hendren: 00:15:31

And he's got a really deep voice. And you meet him and you go, that's you.

Terry McAdams: 00:15:36

Yeah.

Announcement: 00:15:37

One time made the joke. We were standing next to each other. Somebody said somebody met him for the first time.

And I happened to be standing there, and they said something about that voice comes out of you. And he goes, yeah. He said, every surprise, everybody. Because everybody thinks I look like him. And he pointed at me. They hear my voice.

Mike Hendren: 00:15:53

You Expect to meet this huge guy and. No, he's very average. Very average.

Announcement: 00:15:57

Anyway, super, super nice guy. Really cool guy. He's into classic rock and cars. He's been a big car enthusiast, muscle cars and that sort of stuff.

Mike Hendren: 00:16:05

Yeah.

Announcement: 00:16:05

So this was kind of a fitting benefit for him. Keith got. Been very sick.

He's somebody who's been very healthy, but he ended up having a condition that came down with, I mean, just like something people. Things happen to people, and got incredibly ill.

And I believe I heard that he is back on the radio, but I think there was some speculation at one time that he may not even be able to get back on on the radio.

Mike Hendren: 00:16:27

Well, they had this. They held this. This car show to.

As a benefit for Keith to help with medical bills, raise some money for him and his wife and to help them out with that. And apparently it went very well.

Announcement: 00:16:38

Well, here's how popular he is. I heard through the grapevine that that car show changed locations three times because it kept getting bigger.

Mike Hendren: 00:16:48

Yeah.

Announcement: 00:16:48

And they end up at Castaway Cove and still completely filled Castaway Cove parking lot up. And they were just trying to park cars wherever they could out there.

Mike Hendren: 00:16:56

Yeah, yeah, but.

Announcement: 00:16:57

But I've heard that that's. That it had to heard something click.

Mike Hendren: 00:17:02

Click. Somebody cock a gun or what?

Announcement: 00:17:04

No, no, it sounded. Sounded like the. Like a recording button went off.

Mike Hendren: 00:17:08

Oh, I don't know. Anyhow, all right, that says we be recording over there a lot, so.

Announcement: 00:17:16

All right. But anyhow, so.

So I think it's really cool you have a guy who's a local person who's entertained a lot of people for many, many years and been good to the community.

I mean, Keith's giving back to the community and done a lot of community stuff, and for people to come out and support him in his time of need, I think it's a great idea.

Mike Hendren: 00:17:31

Yeah. So we wish him the best and speedy recovery and many more years on the radio.

Announcement: 00:17:37

Absolutely.

Mike Hendren: 00:17:38

He's a good guy. Let's see here. Realities and responsibilities of the position when it comes to fears about Trump's Cabinet positions.

Announcement: 00:17:49

Yeah, I mean, you hear about this. This is one of those deals that a lot of people have fears about Trump. Trump's cabinet. But this. But to be fair, people had those fears.

People Republicans handled some of those fears about Obama and. And Biden and Biden and. And their cabinet picks and that sort of thing. What everybody needs to understand is sometimes you may be. You may.

Your Persona may be this person in this position. Like, for instance, say they pull up Marco Rubio. Marco Rubio is a senator. Marco Rubio has.

He has his positions and everything that he's done as a senator in that position.

Mike Hendren: 00:18:30

Sure.

Announcement: 00:18:30

Now he's moving over to Secretary of State. The chain. The roles and responsibilities of the Secretary of State are different than being a senator.

Terry McAdams: 00:18:40

Yeah, sure.

Announcement: 00:18:41

So therefore, you can't just say this guy said this or thought this as a senator. He's automatically going to think the exact same thing as the Secretary of State.

Mike Hendren: 00:18:49

Yeah.

Announcement: 00:18:49

Because when you get put in a different responsibility role, your mindset has to change. And then also there are times, and this is a perfect example. I've made the. I've made this example a bunch. This happened with Barack Obama.

Barack Obama campaigned on closing Guantanamo. Guantanamo Bay, remember?

Mike Hendren: 00:19:05

Yes.

Announcement: 00:19:06

Guantanamo Bay is still open. Because I think what happened was. And I do believe Barack Obama was sincere about that. I think he sincerely wanted to close Guantanamo Bay.

Mike Hendren: 00:19:15

But.

Announcement: 00:19:16

But I think what happened was the reality was once he got elected, he went to a room with a bunch of people who know a lot of what's going on in the world, and they gave him a dose of reality.

Terry McAdams: 00:19:25

Intelligence briefing of what.

Announcement: 00:19:27

What would happen if we did that, and therefore it stayed open. And it's one of those things. You don't know what you don't know until you know it.

Mike Hendren: 00:19:36

Yeah.

Announcement: 00:19:36

And so all of my point behind this is give everybody a little bit of leeway.

Mike Hendren: 00:19:43

Yes.

Announcement: 00:19:43

Now, I'm glad Matt Gaetz dropped out. I am not a Matt Gaetz fan. I think he was. I don't. I don't think he's a very good human being for sure. But I know.

I don't like the way he was so disruptive, and I don't think he would have been a very good person in that role. So I'm glad he dropped out. But everybody else, whether you like him or not like him, give him a chance. See what happens.

And just because they said something or thought something or had a stance on this, in this position does not necessarily mean it'll translate 100% to this.

Terry McAdams: 00:20:12

Well, here. Okay, tell me if I'm wrong. Unless I miss something, let me.

What's your assessment, both of you, on Hillary Clinton's role and the job she did as Secretary of State overall?

Mike Hendren: 00:20:27

Horrible. Terrible.

Terry McAdams: 00:20:28

Really? Okay, what. What things would she. Did she do worse than you thought?

Mike Hendren: 00:20:32

Benghazi.

Announcement: 00:20:33

Benghazi.

Mike Hendren: 00:20:36

That was her defining moment in that role.

Terry McAdams: 00:20:39

Yeah, so I'd forgotten about that. But. So, but, but other than that, was there anything else that some of the.

Announcement: 00:20:45

Some of the Some of the deals that were made, weren't we. Didn't we end up selling some pretty precious metals to, to some. Made some really strange deals. And didn't we sell some.

Some, well, nuclear type stuff? I think we sold some nuclear type.

Mike Hendren: 00:21:05

Basically the interactions with Iran. Yes, that was, that was. We made some horrible concessions to the Iranians. You know, I mean, the mullahs in Iran are a bunch of murderous thugs.

Let's just call it what they are, okay? And we made some really horrible concessions to these guys. Terrible concessions.

Announcement: 00:21:25

And she was the architect of a lot of them.

Mike Hendren: 00:21:28

She was. And then Benghazi, you know, she had personally believe, you know, yeah, Obama was president, that was her boss.

But she had the power and the stroke, as in her role as secretary, to do something different with Benghazi.

Announcement: 00:21:45

Oh, to save the world.

Mike Hendren: 00:21:46

She could have saved lives. They could have. That whole situation could have been a completely different situation. Totally. It could have ended totally, totally differently.

But because of her decision making and her failure, just call it what it is, it was a total, absolute, unmitigated failure on her part.

Announcement: 00:22:09

Here, let me tell you what, I'm going to recommend this real quick. The reason I'm looking at my book, I listen to audiobooks and there's an audiobook that I'm going to recommend to everybody.

It's a real good book overall.

It's about Navy seals, I believe it's eyes on target and it talks about the Navy seals and, and the, the whole evolution of Navy seals and that sort of thing. But there's a whole section about Benghazi because that is a massive stain in the U. S. Military.

And there was, there was a scenario, and this was, this is a scenario compiled by a whole bunch of smart people who knows what the hell they got their together and they know what they're talking about. Of every way that the problems of Benghazi could have been mitigated. Oh, once the shit hit the fan.

Mike Hendren: 00:22:59

There'S a whole laundry list of things that could have been.

Announcement: 00:23:01

It will make you sick. It will make you sick to your stomach when you sit and listen to it and go, those, those men could have been saved, those Americans.

Mike Hendren: 00:23:11

That's right.

Announcement: 00:23:12

That lots of them could have been saved had action been taken. And there was a whole scenario of actions that could have been taken that probably would have resulted in changing the whole thing.

Terry McAdams: 00:23:24

Right. Well. And my whole point of this is not to get too much into it, but it certainly. It's a reason why people are skeptical.

Mike Hendren: 00:23:32

Oh, well, yeah.

Terry McAdams: 00:23:33

This kind of Thing happens. And I'm talking about on both sides, right?

Announcement: 00:23:36

Yeah.

Terry McAdams: 00:23:37

So, yeah.

Mike Hendren: 00:23:38

Well, here's the other thing, though, is that it's really easy, and the left seems to be more apt to do this than the other side. It's really easy to pick out individuals in the Cabinet and try to use them as a primer to blow everything up.

I believe if Matt Gaetz had stayed in the running for Attorney General, I think it would have been so disruptive in the Senate, it would have been so disruptive to the business of the Senate trying to get him confirmed that it would. They would have. They, they were going. And I think to his credit, I think Gates, whether he was, whether he was pushed into.

Into stepping away as well as he was easily, probably.

Announcement: 00:24:23

He was probably told, you're stepping away. Yes, you're going to step away one way or another. To his credit, you're welcome to do it yourself, but this is how it's going to happen.

Mike Hendren: 00:24:32

To his credit, he didn't throw a fit about it. He was gracious about it.

He said, I'm doing, basically, I'm doing this for the greater benefit of the Trump administration, the incoming administration. Okay, wonderful. And I do think in his case, they would have used. Whether any of this stuff that he's been accused of is true or not doesn't matter.

He's been accused of it. There was an investigation. There's a House report out there on this.

So they would have used that as a disruption tool to try to upend anything and everything within the incoming administration that they could. And I think the left is more likely to do that than the right is.

Announcement: 00:25:13

You say that, though, maybe, but during the Obama administration, though, I don't know how many people from the right were. The whole thing was Obama's taking the guns, taking the guns. And I kept going. Well, I don't know how many people I heard that.

I'm like, no, that's a ridiculous statement. That's not reality.

Mike Hendren: 00:25:29

Well, you and I both had those conversations with people. It's like, they're not going to go door to door and start confiscating firearms.

Announcement: 00:25:35

Tell me how it's going to work. I go back to, how is it going to work physically, how is it going to work? Obama going to come to your door.

Mike Hendren: 00:25:41

If they ever try that in this country. I'm just going to say it out loud. There's going to be a lot of dead people.

Announcement: 00:25:45

Well, there's going to be a lot of bloodshed, but people aren't even going to do it, what I'm saying is, so if you tell the police officers, you must go this, do this, there's a lot of cops in America. It's like, hell with that. I'm not doing that.

Mike Hendren: 00:25:55

That's what I'm saying. Yeah. Most of your local police are not going to participate in that. I guarantee.

I can tell you here in Wichita county, our sheriff's office, o will have zero.

Terry McAdams: 00:26:05

Yeah.

Announcement: 00:26:06

Clay County, I would say 95% of Texas.

Terry McAdams: 00:26:10

Yes, Maybe, right?

Announcement: 00:26:12

Yeah.

Terry McAdams: 00:26:12

What is it?

Mike Hendren: 00:26:13

Austin, Travis County, Travis County, Harris County, Dallas County, Tarrant County? Is it El Paso County?

Announcement: 00:26:21

I think it is, yes. Maybe, maybe. But I don't know. I don't think Tarrant county would either, to be honest with you.

Mike Hendren: 00:26:26

Tara might not, but in Dallas county, some of those metroplex counties, the more left leaning might. But yeah, on the whole, in America, that's not going to happen because of this.

I think most people who truly understand the purpose and the reasoning behind the Second Amendment understand that that is a right we can never ever surrender. The Second Amendment and the First Amendment, there's a reason that they're placed in the Bill of Rights where they are.

There's a reason that the first two things that they discuss in the Bill of Rights is right to say what the hell you want to and your right to defend yourself with a firearm. That's. There's a reason that those two items are the first things addressed in the Bill of Rights.

Announcement: 00:27:14

Number two exists, so number one can exist.

Mike Hendren: 00:27:16

Exactly. And both of those amendments are really what gives teeth to everything else in our Constitution.

Because you think about it, if we didn't have that, how easy would it be for a rogue government to run roughshod over the people? How easy would it be for any other country to run roughshod over the people?

Announcement: 00:27:34

Oh, absolutely. You know, look how it's happened. Look at Australia. Australia's a perfect example. Australia. Think about it this way.

Australia, in many ways was like Texas.

Mike Hendren: 00:27:44

Yes.

Announcement: 00:27:45

A lot like Texas.

Mike Hendren: 00:27:46

Yes, it was.

Announcement: 00:27:47

It was born from a, from a foreign country. People came over, you had wide open spaces, but you. The people live outside, they buy, they have big houses.

s or the early: 2000

Mike Hendren: 00:28:04

Early: 2000

Announcement: 00:28:06

They confiscated.

Mike Hendren: 00:28:08

Yeah.

Announcement: 00:28:08

They confiscated handguns.

Mike Hendren: 00:28:10

Yeah.

Announcement: 00:28:10

Which were very prevalent in Australia. Look what happened during COVID Oh, God.

Mike Hendren: 00:28:15

That country.

Announcement: 00:28:17

That country turned Marxist.

Mike Hendren: 00:28:19

Yes.

Announcement: 00:28:20

I mean, they, they really did. It was.

Mike Hendren: 00:28:22

They were jailing people.

Announcement: 00:28:23

Jailing People. People were sitting on the beach in the wide open, drinking, you know, drinking or partying or sitting around or whatever, getting arrested for.

And they were being arrested, which makes, to me. It was always those deals.

So you're gonna say, I'm sitting out in the wide open, and you're talking about this Covid, which affects people when they're closed in. So I'm sitting in the wide open where I'm not a danger to myself or anybody else, but you're gonna arrest me and throw me in a.

In a pin that I'm gonna be closed in with a bunch of people.

Mike Hendren: 00:28:49

Yeah, yeah.

Announcement: 00:28:49

Oh, but I put a mask on, so that'll save it.

Mike Hendren: 00:28:52

Dumbass.

Announcement: 00:28:53

No, so, so you're, you're, you're right.

But my point on this whole deal, a lot of this is most of these people in this Cabinet, whether you like them or don't like them, give them a shot, see what happens. It's like anything else. Trump was elected. He has a right to pick his Cabinet. Now, the Senate does have the right. Is it advising consent?

Mike Hendren: 00:29:17

They do, they do.

Announcement: 00:29:18

But on confirmation. But doesn't mean block everyone. No, it means. It means advising consent. If there's somebody that you really think doesn't meet the bar.

And I think Matt Gates would not. I don't think he would have passed Senate confirmation.

Mike Hendren: 00:29:30

I don't, I don't think would let him know. I think you would. You would have. And I was going to say, I think you would have had Republicans that would have been.

That would have tried to disrupt that, to try to stop his confidence, didn't want him there. That would, Would. Would work to stop his confirmation. And all of that would have become very disruptive.

I mean, look, the Congress has business to do the stuff they should be doing. They need to be doing the stuff that we pay them to do up there.

And if they're wasting weeks, maybe two or three months on confirmations and a battle to try to get some guy confirmed that a full one third of the Senate may not even approve of, that's disruptive. And it's going to cause problems in the country. It's going to cause problems in the governance of the country. You can't have that.

So again, like you said, whether he was told to step down or he did it on his own, he was gracious about it. I thought, at least publicly, privately, he may have been mad as hell about it.

Announcement: 00:30:33

He might have been an ass. You never know.

Mike Hendren: 00:30:35

You don't know. But at least publicly, I think he was Pretty gracious about it. And he did the right thing by stepping away.

Terry McAdams: 00:30:40

I, I, I, you know, I'm not a real big, I don't judge people by the looks oftentimes, but he just, I don't know, he creeps me out.

Announcement: 00:30:50

Yeah, he, I agree with you. He's, he's got, sorry, he's got one of those, he's, he's, he, he comes across as a very creepy dude.

He's almost, he's a Gavin Newsom slick kind of one of those guys, it just, it, they just come across and give you kind of that icky feeling.

Mike Hendren: 00:31:05

Well, you know, I know what you mean. You know, one of the things he was accused of again, accused of was having sex with a 17 year old.

Now out here in the rest of the world, in America, if you're a guy, 40 something, 50 something guy, 30 something guy even, and you do that, the court of public opinion puts an end to your life pretty damn quick.

Announcement: 00:31:31

The one thing, the caveat on this, and look, would never say it's right to do that, but at some point, did he know that? I'll be honest with you. I mean, did he know, did he know that, did he know that somebody was 17 years old?

You could obviously tell when somebody's a child. Yes, but, but there are people, there are women, men and women who could pass for 18 at 17 or 16.

Mike Hendren: 00:32:00

Oh, yeah, yeah. There was a story, I can't remember exactly where I read it. Year. This has been a number of years ago, maybe 20 years ago or more. I don't know.

It's been a long while. And I believe the guy that was involved in it was in the military. This happened in another state, like one Texas, it was somewhere else.

Goes to a bar, meets this girl, they're drinking, she's in the bar drinking when he meets her. And fast forward several days later, he gets arrested by the military police for having sex with a minor. She was like 15 years old.

Announcement: 00:32:39

Holy crap.

Mike Hendren: 00:32:40

She had gotten into the bar on a fake id, was drinking. She looked, obviously you go into a bar, you meet at some you think is a woman 21. I think 21 is the legal drinking age across the country now.

Pretty much everywhere now, for sure. You just assume, well, they're in here, they're drinking. There's no big red X on her hand or anything. Okay, she's legal.

And what are you gonna, you're gonna ask for a damn driver's license every time you meet somebody?

Announcement: 00:33:06

She had a fake ID to get into the bar.

Mike Hendren: 00:33:09

Exactly you'd still be fooled. And apparently the fake ID was good enough to get her into the bar and to allow her to drink. And so he didn't.

Well, he ends up being charged with a crime anyway. Even though she deliberately deceived the people at the bar. She deceived him. Who knows how many people in the chain of events were deceived.

Terry McAdams: 00:33:30

What the ultimate result was that.

Mike Hendren: 00:33:32

I don't recall. I don't recall if I ever even saw what the end result of that was. But I got a feeling. I know he probably got booted out of the military at a minimum.

Well, that's ridiculous.

Terry McAdams: 00:33:43

Well, that also just in life you got to really weigh out the risks.

Announcement: 00:33:49

That's true.

Terry McAdams: 00:33:50

Okay. And if you are, I mean just, just that alone, whether, whether.

Let's say she wasn't under 18 or 21 or whatever and he had sex with her and then she claimed. Or she had a disease. She had. I mean, there's a lot of reasons why you probably. It's not a practical thing to do.

Mike Hendren: 00:34:07

Yeah, there's. Yeah, yeah, you're right. You're right. Risk assessment.

Announcement: 00:34:11

And I agree with that. But. But whether it goes to the level of criminal. Well, right on the books. I kind of see what you're getting at, Mike. You're, you're.

Mike is not condoning no sex with 15 year old girls. Or girls. Neither am I. Yeah, but what you're.

Mike Hendren: 00:34:26

Saying is deceived in the same thing.

Announcement: 00:34:27

Yeah. I mean. Yeah. If you, if you don't know and you are under the reasonable. I guess it's reasonable to have been. If you. A jury would. I would guess.

And I don't know this from a legal standpoint. I'm just guessing that jury would have to look and say would a reasonable person believe.

Terry McAdams: 00:34:43

Right.

Announcement: 00:34:44

That he intentionally slept with somebody who was under.

Mike Hendren: 00:34:48

Was it was their intent. Was he deliberately pursuing a minor.

Announcement: 00:34:51

Yeah. Yeah. Which is good. Which is a complete.

Mike Hendren: 00:34:54

That's. That, that, that gets into a whole other category.

Announcement: 00:34:56

Exactly. That's. That it's creepo central right there.

Mike Hendren: 00:34:59

Beyond that.

Terry McAdams: 00:35:00

Yeah. Well, the bottom line is that I, I agree with you that, that we've really got to give these guys a chance.

And you're right that, that their role as a senator in the case of Rubio.

Mike Hendren: 00:35:11

Yeah.

Terry McAdams: 00:35:12

He has a way different agenda going on. He's trying to please his constituents and he's. In a much broader sense, though.

But then if you get into a role in the administration, one of the head of departments or whatever position, you then have a Con. Well, I guess it's not. Not all of them are constitutional, but essentially they're. You have a role that's specific to that. It's very.

Announcement: 00:35:37

You have a job.

Terry McAdams: 00:35:38

Right. And so you, yeah, you take out. Theoretically, you're not political in that position, but you're following the orders of a politician. Right, right.

And that's. Your marching orders are going to be set out at a very high level from a strategy point of view. And your implement.

You have to implement that strategy of the administration.

Mike Hendren: 00:35:58

Yeah.

Terry McAdams: 00:35:58

So, yeah. Loyalty. Because you won't hold that position.

Announcement: 00:36:01

It's kind of like military. The military. You're not, you're not. You're supposed to be apolitical and you can have your own political beliefs. But when you're given an order.

Terry McAdams: 00:36:11

Right.

Announcement: 00:36:12

And it is from a politician because the chief, the head of the military is the very top. Commander in chief. Is the politician, is the elected president.

Terry McAdams: 00:36:21

But it, but in theory, the president has two hats, the commander in chief. And there should be a true.

And mostly, I guess, I don't know how, I guess you can't completely separate politics out of it in their decision making because a lot of things happen because of your policies that you make that are political choices. And then you have to.

If somebody goes and because of a political decision, another country starts trying to attack our friends, try to attack our friends, then we're going to have to go and help them out.

Announcement: 00:36:57

There's a lot to it. The whole point is, I think overall, looking at this cabinet with Gates being gone, I don't have any heartburn, any real heartburn with anybody.

And the one thing I will say that I, That I don't believe that I, That I'm happy for on this cabinet is I don't believe that any of these were hired to check boxes.

Terry McAdams: 00:37:15

Right.

Announcement: 00:37:16

I don't think, I don't think the chief of staff was hired because she's a woman and she's going to be the first ever. Because that wasn't the whole thing. It was, hey, this is my chief of staff.

And then reporters said, oh, hey, wait a minute, she's the first women chief of staff. It wasn't a whole big press conference, by the way. Yeah, it wasn't a big press conference is we're going to have a fir.

The first woman chief of staff and say 20 times. Which, which makes sense because. And that's a better. For that person. The fact is, if you're hired, it's like Kamala Harris.

I believe that Joe Biden put Kamala Harris in a bad situation to begin with.

Terry McAdams: 00:37:46

Yeah.

Announcement: 00:37:47

Because he set her up to fail, is she's going to be this and this and this, and we're putting her in. Well, did she get the job? Because she's the best person. Did she get the job? No.

And all of a sudden, in the back of a lot of people's minds, whether they like her or don't like her, in the back of people's minds was Democrat or Republican. Did they just. Did she just get the job because she checked boxes?

It's not fair to give people those jobs to check boxes and then tell everybody I gave them to check.

Mike Hendren: 00:38:13

And I will say this. I don't believe, I don't believe Joe Biden had a direct hand in choose.

Announcement: 00:38:18

Oh, no, I know. It's.

Mike Hendren: 00:38:19

hing. When you go back to the: 2020

Announcement: 00:38:37

She never got a vote or never won a.

Mike Hendren: 00:38:40

No, she didn't.

Announcement: 00:38:41

She didn't. She never won a delegate.

Mike Hendren: 00:38:43

No, she was, she was dead bottom of the list in the primary.

Terry McAdams: 00:38:47

Yeah.

Mike Hendren: 00:38:48

And so that tells me right there that the people didn't want her. And number two, her own party didn't respect her for leadership. They wanted her because she checked the boxes. That was it.

Terry McAdams: 00:39:05

ote, his, what is it, Project: 2025

Announcement: 00:39:24

Yeah.

Terry McAdams: 00:39:25

So he has, of course, denied any knowledge, really, in the beginning, didn't know anything about it. I, I find that hard that he had never heard of it. But maybe not. Maybe he didn't at the time and didn't care about it.

Announcement: 00:39:36

It depends on, real quickly on that. I don't know that he said that he's never even heard of it, but I don't have any knowledge of it.

There's a lot of things I could have heard of something and I don't have any knowledge. I don't know.

Mike Hendren: 00:39:47

I've heard of it, but I know very well.

Announcement: 00:39:49

I'm the same way I've heard of.

Terry McAdams: 00:39:50

It, but I looked into it a little bit and basically, here's what it is. It's put out by the Heritage foundation and apparently a number of. A high number of. And of course, I don't.

I'm looking for the inventory of this, but the people who Trump has been nominating, some of them have had a role in helping draft. Some parties contributed, Party right contributed. And I don't know what level that could been.

They could have just signed on and said, I support it all the way to actually writing it. But whatever level it is, here's the realities on that, too. This, to be fair to everybody on this, you got to look at it.

This is one very conservative organization that's on, on our side for the most part. Doesn't mean that all of us, we may not know that much in it.

But I bet you if you read it and you looked at it, because I've looked at it, some of those things are like, of course, that's a, well, that's a position of a conservative at anything.

Announcement: 00:40:53

Usually if you read anything, there's going to be some things that you agree with.

Terry McAdams: 00:40:56

And so they're making it sound as though the left and making it sound as though this is, you know, it's anti women. It's, you know, it's anti this, it's anti that. And I think there's probably some argument to be had about some of that.

But it's just like any other politician, you can't agree. It's very difficult to agree with 100% of every politician that you happen to support.

Announcement: 00:41:21

I'll go back and review. But see, I equate this a little bit to. When you talk about. So this is a, apparently it's a large document.

Terry McAdams: 00:41:29

Yes.

Announcement: 00:41:30

With many, many, many ideas or prongs or whatever.

Mike Hendren: 00:41:33

Yes.

Announcement: 00:41:34

It's the same thing as all we ran into when C Scope. I don't know if you guys, you guys probably don't remember. I was on the school board.

Terry McAdams: 00:41:39

Yeah, I remember this.

Announcement: 00:41:40

Oh my God. And we, we heard so much about C Scope this and C Scope that we had people in the WFISD that were contributors to some of the C Scope stuff.

They didn't contribute the crazy stuff in there.

Terry McAdams: 00:41:53

Right.

Announcement: 00:41:54

They were contributing some of the stuff that everybody would go, oh yeah, that's good, solid curriculum.

Mike Hendren: 00:41:59

Right.

Announcement: 00:41:59

And, and so you, it's hard to take my point on this is you don't take one document that or a large document that has a lot of people that contribute to it and say, okay, everybody that, that contributed to this believes all, everything that's in here. That's not true.

Terry McAdams: 00:42:14

Right.
