and paulet. earning more money before they got married. she was on broadway working, paid for the first date, paid the billers paid the cab ride. the classically trained pianist. went to juliard. i learned a lot from her. my father taught me how to hunt. my mom taught me how to love. it looked a young j.d. my father did shakespeare in the park had i was 4 years old and richard iii, seeing him limping. he had this mullet going on. i thought it was the coolest thing ever. i was like, i want to do that. instead of running into the spotlight, john david initially ran from it and on to the football field. as he started to become successful, people started changing around me and gave me a little anxiety, resentment, anger. so i filtered those emotions through this outlet. football.
total mess. lot of it is because some of these power companies, they have the money. they have the werewithal. they couldn t get their permits. for years and years and years they re trying to get permits. now they get them really fast. they re getting them so fast, one man told me, what the hell happened? we re fighting for years. i got a call, we were approved. we didn t even try. some consultants will be making a lot of money. sir, we need $2 million for the great job we did on getting you approved. they didn t do a damn thing. except trump got elected. that s about all. that s about all. how about, i tell this. being a builder, we can all talk as friends. we re all billers in this room. look at these people back here. you better believe they re builders. [ applause ] they re builders.
place for them to stay in office. sometimes, incentives. martha: they may not get that. that s correct. but i believe that they will get to yes on the health care bill. martha: mitch mcconnell and john cornyn late today said that they believe that they are getting to something. are they going to as a republican billers is something where they re going to bring in some democrats? that they re going to be some people who will not. i m not close enough to a prodigious mouth like it will likely be all republican bill the same way the obamacare act with the affordable care act was all democrat. and that sort of a shame because there s a lot of this bill, many of the moderate democrats would like but they now have built this antiadministration coalition, and i think my prediction is the president will get this done. look at some tax reform done, and i think is going to try to reach out to the other side and be the president for everybody. he s had six months ahead of him that i think
