Bill. Its revised because, if youll remember, state democrats blocked the gops initial attempt. Remember, they staged a walkout . Said were not going to be part of this attempt to suppress the vote. It happened back in may. Just a few minutes before a house deadline. But it was kind of the only bullet they had, to stop it. They dont have the votes. Will another Walkout Work . Or is it just delaying the inevitable . The real question, though, is why the governor is now saying, now, that he must fix something that he admitted, in the past, was not broken. Listen. Right now, i dont know how many, or if any, elections in the state of texas in 2020 were altered because of voter fraud. So, he didnt know. He suggested there may be none. No proof to bolster any sense that there was fraud, ever, came thereafter. Nor, does he offer any. Yet now, there is something he must fix. It is the game. But again, the Democrat Walkout may not work, completely, but it did soften the suck that they now face and heres how. The revised bill excludes a couple of provisions. One. They were going to ban Sunday Voting known as souls to polls. And they were gonna lower the threshold for overturning an election. Now, both were obviouspower grabs and one was, specifically, targeting minorities. Speaking of power, listen to what is not on the agenda. The powergrid problems. Remember, the woes back in the wintertime . They said, oh, the grids built for summer. And now, not doing too great in texas with the grid. The governor said it was built to handle it. They have problems. Why not deal with the tough things . Thats what this is all about. Distraction. Kul Chr Culture wars. Its always worked. The new one . Criticalrace theory, crt. Buckle up. You are going to hear a lot about this and you should Proelk Proenl get curious about what it really is. It is a theory for understanding how racism has mixed with law, over time, to create systemic inequality. Thats what it is. Okay . What its being used for . A weapon. Forcing socialism. Teaching allwhite kids they are bad. These moves are, obviously, political. But will they be effective . Lets turn to a texas lawmaker, who has a say in all of this. State representative, Trey Martinez Fisher was one of the leaders of the democratic walkout in may, that likely got republicans to modify their voterrestriction legislation. Its good to have you, sir. Thank you, chris. You know, i see a lot of people asking you lawmakers on the Democrat Side in texas, will you do it again . Will you do it again . You know, its just delaying the inevitable. The question is what is the real move here . What is your warning on coming on a national show to tell people about what texas might mean for the rest of the country . The message is very clear. America. We need to wake up. We need to preserve our democracy. We need a federal Votingrights Solution and we need it, now. Chris, this is a nowornever moment. Were holding the lawn in texas and we are going to fight with all our might. But even if we were to fix this problem in texas, it doesnt solve the problem for the rest of the nation. We need a national standard and we are deadlocked in the u. S. Senate. It is time for everyone to up their game. We were in the fourth quarter. Every Man And Woman in america, this is the time to speak up. Have you seen, with the passage of time and trying to make the Case to colleagues, that it has changed the inclinations of any on the right in your state in terms of the lawmakers . Well, i will tell you what. You hit it on the head. The problem we have here in texas, people are actually voting. We had a 66 turnout in the 2020 election. And President Trump Formerpresident trump won by five and a half points. Were not as red as people think. We are becoming purple. And so, the only way you can stop that momentum is to change the game just like you said. Lets lets lets make the hurdles higher. Lets put more tripwire on the ground. Lets make it a crime to vote in texas and thats the only way these folks can hold onto power. So when it comes to survival of the fittest, theyre not willing to be pragmatic or bipartisan. Do you think that ignoring the powergrid problems, which are a concern for a lot of people in your state. And instead, focusing on the Culture War of Criticalrace Theory. Do you think thats going to work . So, yeah, they call this a special session, right . There is nothing special about this session. This is what we call the suppression session. Because we are not dealing with the real problems. We need to fix our grid, just like you mentioned. We have federal dollars sitting in our treasury that we havent given to our schools. We havent given to our small communities that dont get directfederal assistance from the federal government. And we donow have a Delta Varia exploding in the state of texas and we are not prepared for that. Thats what we need to be working on and i that i say wi think thats what actually gets voters ticked off. Republicans are going to focus on redmeat issues that go absolutely nowhere but they are just trying to hold onto that little power that they have and its slowly slipping out of their fingers. Now, when you say that, what is the feedback that you are getting in your you know, your area, your community, your constituency, that makes you think that this Wont Work . Because, at least on the media side, this Criticalrace Theorys getting a lot of traction in texas. And it does play into white fright. It it certainly does, right . But again, these are these dogwhistle politics. You know, we cant just, you know, fall for this, what i call, a jedimind trick here. We need to keep our eye on what really matters. Listen when i shop at my Grocery Store here in my community, No One ever tells me, trey, were not being mean enough to immigrants. Or hey, trey, by the way, were not making it hard enough for women to have healthcare choices. You know, Go Back Up To Austin and do that. Folks are concerned about these kitchentable issues. Having an Energy System that actually works. Making sure that we have an Air Conditioner in the summer and a heater in the winter. Making sure folks are prepared for a pandemic. Folks have a job. Folks have a place to go if they want to go to college, they can forward it. We are not focusing on those issues and i think voters can see right through it. Well, this is a laboratory, what is happening in your state. This is what is going to be what the midterms are about, writ large. So we will be watching to see how it goes, who benefits, and why. Trey martinez fisher, thank you, and good luck. Thank you, sir. All right. So, if republicans were serious about election integrity, they would follow what Arizonas Secretary of state is calling for. A criminal investigation, in the face of mounting evidence that trump allies pressured Maricopa County Election officials for months to announce Voting Irregularities in the 2020 election. Wouldnt that be, by definition, fraud . Recall, what clint hickman, the guy at the center of this, said on this show. I told people, that were close to the trump campaign, with all this litigation that was going on. I said, just, hey, just do me a favor. I Cant Talk to anyone, while this is being litigated. And um, it and that stayed true, all the way up till that that new years weekend. I got a Phone Call from the White House switchboard. Arizonas secretary, katie hobbs, joins us right now. Secretary of state, thank you very much. Any indication that the republicans in your state want to move away from the Fraud Farce, and deal with any actual fraud that involved anything to do with trump . Well, we could only hope. But right now, it seems like they are just continuing to lead by conspiracy theory. Those who know that this fraud is a Farce Arent willing to speak up about it. And certainly, no indication that the states top Law Enforcement Officer is going to act on our request to investigate. And in fact, he didnt even need a request from my office. Um, he should have just acted, on the reports, alone. Every layperson can look at this, and say this this really does look like an attempt to interfere. And should be warrant further investigation. Unless the man who was on this show was lying, it happened. But do you agree that, as it stands right now, it is highly unlikely anyone will be held to account for strong arming State Officials into putting out what they wanted which was the Fraud Farce . Well, to my knowledge, there is an investigation right now on the the same tactics that were used in georgia. And so hopefully, now that we have this actual evidence thats come forth, this will it will result in at least in an investigation here that can lead to these folks being held accountable. Heres what you are up against. The Gop Chair Kelli ward put up her tweet. She was suggesting that election officials should go to jail, because their pushback against the fraudit. You know, you blocked access. You withheld or deleted information. Said they did not possess the passwords to the computers. Did any of that happen . They are just making this stuff up. I mean, honestly, right now, anything you see coming out of these peoples mouths, you can just assume they made it up. To just continue to pile on because theyre thats their goal is to is to continue to sow doubt, to undermine the integrity of our election. And they are just making it up. Secretary of state, thank you for making your Case to the audience. Thank you for letting us know whats happening. Thank you. All right. We got to spend some time on this crt. Criticalrace theory. Why . Because its going to be abused, a lot. So lets look at it from the teacher angle. My next guest says that teachers in america are being bullied from teaching students accurate history about race. Its not just about talking too much about race. Its that, she believes, this is about really suppressing any talk about it. She leads one of the largest teachers unions in this country. And shes getting ready for a majorlegal fight.

Its a boogieman. Its not even taught in most kthrough12 schools. But suddenly, its like the biggest thing thats going on in the country when it comes to our kids and schooling. Now, what does that tell you . Tell you that there is bs here. The Criticalrace Theory, this boogieman, is just the now front on the Culture War. Thats all. The Brown Menace is gone. You know, you have to theyre not coming over the wall to come and take your women. Now, its theyre coming to take your kids. They claim crt doesnt enlighten. It spreads racism. It spreads socialism. Its just telling white kids that everything you do is, somehow, given to you and youre worthless. And that you have to be to blame for all the bad things. Its none of those things. Dont fall for what youre being told. Do the homework. Okay . It isnt about an intellectual theory. Thats not their fight. Their fight is about a power theory. Okay . Now, what Criticalrace Theory is really about is just choosing which stories matter, in the teaching of the history of america. Formersecretary of state, mike pompeo, gave up the goods on what this is really about for the trumpers. He tweeted, if we teach that the founding of the united states of america was, somehow, flawed, it was corrupt, it was racist. Thats really dangerous. It strikes at the very foundations of our country. This guy is supposed to be a genius. He was at the top of his class at west point. You can teach that america, her birth, her independence, her fight, her foundation, was part of the most notable and exceptional experiment in democracy, on the face of this planet. Comma, and, there have been problems. All along. And racism is a primary one. Both of those things can be said. Both are true. And he knows it. This is fake outrage. But its having real impact on School Districts across the country. And it may have a chilling effect on what our kids get to learn about who we are, and how we got here and why things are not perfect here. And why we are trying to promote a moreperfect union. Parents, against parents. Student, against student. Teachers, in danger of getting punished for what they teach in their classrooms. States all across the country are taking up bills to ban Criticalrace Theory. What does this mean . Lets discuss with the president of the american federation of teachers, randy winegarden. Good to see you, randy. Good to be with you, chris. Lets deal with the argument and then well go to the remedy. The argument. You are teaching about the oppression of black people in this country but you are using it as a cudgel. Mike pompeo is saying you want to say that this country basically stinks, and blame white people. And this is the Lefts Effort to make a minority into a majority. Because you want them all to vote for guy s, so you can stay in power. You know, i i mean thats what youre hearing. I mean, and you are going to hear it more and more so whats the answer . Right. So the answer is its completely not true. I mean, i am a High School social studies teacher. Its hard to, actually, fight against something thats completely not true. Because then, youre assuming something in evidence thats not true. So let me go through what is true, which is that for the last, i dont know, as long as i have been teaching, we teach history in a way where you take salient pieces of american history. And you look at them, and you examine them to have your kids be able to know the facts. And to think through what that means. So, when it comes to issues of american history, we teach about the founding. And how great it was to, actually, break from Great Britain and have a democracy. And how important the constitution was, one of the first constitutional democracies. But it wasnt a multiethnic democracy. The the founders, basically, were very focused on making sure that white men, of certain ways, had a vote. But this is whats great about america, and what we teach in history. That the arc of the moral universe has, actually, bent towards justice. And that, whereas the founders actually were slaveholders, we went through a Civil War. We went through the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendment. Weve just got to celebrating juneteenth. And so, you see that, through the struggle of america, we create more opportunity, more freedom. What i dont get is that thats a great story for fox tv. Thats a great story for all americans. And whats happening, now, is that in this push to try to erase, um, what has happened in our history. It is chilling teachers from teaching the fact that we did have slavery. It was uncomfortable. We need to get through it. We need kids to be able to critically think about it, and to engage and understand it. And get better, as a result of it. It is the american experiment, that we are trying to teach as schoolteachers. Both, the good and the ugly, but the change that weve seen, including having our first africanamerican president and our first africanamerican vice president. So, you see these bills. Five states, arkansas, tennessee, texas, bans on Criticalrace Theory. Um, related topics, as well. Now, thats the dangerous part because Criticalrace Theory, as is, is not really taught at the primary, secondary level. But if you have a dozen other states pushing for similar legislation, what is your fear these laws, what they will do, and what is your remedy . Okay. So, number one, the fear is take whats happening so, number one. Its, like, a modernday scopes trial. Its like the Modernday Version of stopping us from Teaching Biology and evolution. What its what the fear is, is that teachers will be so bullied and so disparaged. Weve seen that, already, and threatened. That theyll stop teaching about the Civil War. The 13th, 14th, 15th amendment, anything to do with the you know, the issues around race, discrimination, bigotry, and thin things like that. And that will be terrible for kid kids to not understand history and how we actually move to be a more perfect union. Whats the remedy . The remedy is that, number one, as a union, we have a Legaldefense Fund that we have now put some more money in. And were going to fight to defend every one of our members who teach honest history. But the other remedy is this. Were going to the courts. Like, take the texas law. It basically says i dont have the exact language but it basically says that you can only teach teach slavery, as if it was a deviation from the founders. Now, thats completely the opposite of our professional responsibility and our standards that says we have to teach honest history. So, in texas, were going to go to the courts and say, well, can we . Or cant we teach the Civil War . Can we, or cant we teach the dredscott decision, juneteenth, the national holiday. So we are going to do those things but the the other thing we are doing, chris, is were actually explaining to parents what were really doing. And really, truly, we want to get kids back into school, in august and september. In a welcoming and safe environment. Where we really start, actually, bringing community back together because i think thats the real issue here. People have gone through such terrible because of Covid that that that there is a Sense Of of Chaos And Consternation that these Culture Warriors are seizing on. And what we need to do is bring people back together, our community, our education community, and do it in a welcoming and safe environment where all kids can thrive. Well, i look forward to the kids being back in school, in person. That is for sure. Randi weingarten, thank you for coming on to make the Case. A brand new update out of haiti.

Authorities now say as many as 28 attackers were vofed in the assassination of president moise. And two of them were american citizens. You are looking at video of a gun battle, presumably, between Haitian Police and 15 of the suspects. It was posted to Social Media today. Cnn has not confirmed its authenticity. But the point stands. Haitian officials say that they have arrested eight suspects, including two haitianamericans and six colombians. Seven other suspects were killed. In the meantime, what does this mean . Joining us now, Richard Clark, who served as the white House Point Man on haiti. Um, the fact that two have american citizenship. Does that mean, to you, in any way, that there was u. S. Involvement in any attack on moise . No, chris, it doesnt. But it suggests to me, based on the reporting we have so far, is that colombians, a large number of colombian citizens and, perhaps, two haitianamericans, were involved in this. That suggests a drug gang. It suggests mercenaries hired by, perhaps, one of the colombian cartels because the president , probably, wasnt cooperating. Haiti has always been a Transit Point for drugs, from colombia, moving into the united states. And its a small market for drugs from colombia, as well. So, this looks like um a spillover of a colombiandrug war. Big move for a Drug Dealer or a cartel, even, to go after a president. But then again, it is haiti. Its not like you are worrying about the state coming after you. What does this mean about the likelihood that americas going to have to have a heavier footprint there because therell be chaos to come . Well, i dont think so. I mean, the u. N. Was there last with its troops. And tried to establish security. We tried to establish security, before that. Its a very difficult country to govern. I have been in every corner of it. Ive been there over a dozen times. Its a country that just doesnt allow itself to be governed very well. Theres no tradition of policing. We spent a lot of time trying to build haitian Police Force and lasted about two or three years before it, too, fell into corruption. So, no, i dont think the united states is going to back in. But it does show us, chris, that the reason that we, as americans, have an interest in preventing countries from falling into Failedstate Status is that the spillover affects us. In this Case, that haiti is more or less a failed state means that drugs can flow, from it, into the u. S. More easily. Speaking of failed states, and what it means for us. Afghanistan. You dont have to be Richard Clark to know that, when america leaves, the taliban will move right back in. Theyre going to have a war there. But its going to be pretty quick. And they use the stick and the carrot. And were going to start to hear ugly things there, about whats happening to women. Whats happening to ethnic minorities. Whats happening to nonmuslim extremists. And what does that mean for the united states . Short and long . You know what, chris, thats probably right. The president said, today, the afghan forces have 300,000 troops. And the taliban only have 75,000. I think those numbers are off, a little. But its not a foregone conclusion that kabul will fall or it will fall, immediately. But your chances are, youre right. And we will probably see terrible things happen. And the rights of women will, probably, be cut back, enormously. Heres let me just play, for context. Lets play what he said, and then i will have you comment on it. Heres the president. No, i do not trust the taliban. Its a silly question. Do i trust the taliban . No. But i trust the capacity of the Afghan Military, who is better trained, better equipped, and more re more competent, in terms of conducting war. Since when . Who is the Afghan Military ever taken on and won . Well, No One. And they really dont have 300,000 people. But the point he made that i that resonated most with me is he said we did not go in to do nation building. Uhhuh. I remember the decision. I was in the room on the night of 9 11 when we made the decision to go into afghanistan. It was to get bin laden. To clean out the terroristtraining camps. To prevent afghanistan from being a sanctuary for Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups. Well, its not, anymore. And we dont have to be there, in the country, with u. S. Troops, all the time, to prevent it from being a sanctuary. We can operate remotely from over the horizon. And the military plans to do just that. I dont think we can say to an american mother or a father, you have lost your kid in afghanistan, in 2021. And and look em in the eye and say to them, honestly, and your son was there fighting for the freedom of americans. Thats just not the Case, anymore. And i couldnt say, to a parent, and i know Joe Biden Couldnt say to a parent, your Son Or Daughter died in afghanistan. And they were there fighting to keep us safe. Thats not true, anymore. I dont think its been true, for quite a number of years, now. The question is will it become true, again . Well see. Well see. And Richard Clark, i will call on you to help us understand whatever happens, going forward. Thank you, sir. All right. The war at home, as tough as any terrorist. Covid. 24 states are now going in the wrong direction, again. Look. This isnt a surprise. You knew the variants were going to be here. You knew that places where there hadnt been vaccinations were going to be harder hit. There is news, tonight, from the government on Booster Shots. Thats not new, either. Be honest. Theyve been talking that, maybe, you would need a Booster Shot for a long time, even if fully vaccinated. Its the only way it makes sense. Why would you need a booster if youre not vaccinated . You need the vaccine, first. So, do we need them sooner, than later . Theres confusion because of Something Pfizer just said. Well put it out there. Well explain it. Well discuss with somebody who understands the medicine and the policy. Next. What does it mean to be a hero . Ancestry helped me learn more about the man behind the medal. He was a father to two young daughters. He was a scout and he knew the land better than anyone. He came from italy with nothing for a new life. His family depended on him. He sacrificed so much.

There are hundreds of goodpaying jobs, with most new workers hired from bayviewhunters point. We dont just work at recology, we own it, creating opportunity and a better planet. Now, thats making a difference. Okay. So, why is everybody talking booster, booster, booster, booster . Pfizer. Pfizer put out a statement saying its ramping up efforts to develop Booster Shots. Why . Data from this real. That immunity is waning from initial doses. However, the cdc just put out this statement. Americans who have been fully vaccinated do not need a Booster Shot, at this time. Fda, cdc, and nih are engaged in a sciencebased rigorous process to consider whether or when a booster might be necessary. Heres something that you have not heard, and you need to hear and needs to be said. Okay . If you guys are all getting together, why not do this . Push the fda to commit to the process, to get the vaccine approved. Instead of jumping ahead to booster, get past eua because there are many people in this country, especially where their kids are involved, who wont take the vaccine because it is not approved. Why isnt it, yet, if its so safe and all the data is so good . Legit question. Now, when it comes to the booster, lets talk about what is noise and what is news. Dr. William schaffner. Its been a minute, doc. You look well. How you doing . Im doing fine, chris. Glad to help. Booster, booster, booster. The vaccine doesnt work. You see, now, we need more. Calm me down. Um, the answer is that our vaccines, still, are very, very effective in keeping us out of the hospital. In averting severe disease. Thats what they were designed to do. Now, its a bonus if they can, also, prevent what we call infection. You could get infected, have mild symptoms, or no symptoms at all. They diminish that possibility, greatly. But they cant turn it off, completely. And thats what the israelis are talking about and pfizer has echoed. But as long as these vaccines keep us out of the hospital, then we dont need a booster. And at the moment, they, also, cover all the variants, including that Delta Variant th thats rushing through the unvaccinated in this country, today. So were on solid ground, at the moment. Im so glad the pfizer people have done the research. Ready to have a booster on the shelf, if we need it. But we dont need it, yet. Lets look at the data about how the you know, this idea of waning immunity, versus what we are seeing about the strength of the vaccination, in the first place. Put up the bar graph, please. The number of people fully vaccinated by Covid19 vaccine type. Pfizer, 83. 9 million. Moderna, 61. 7. J j, the single shot, 12. 5. Isnt that enough people, and enough time for them to be able to make the Case that this should be authorized and approved, and not just for Emergency Use . You are talking about licensure. Thats exactly correct. A lot of us are, frankly, a Bit Impatient that the fda hasnt, yet, worked its way through all of the elaborate, important evaluations, in order to license this vaccine. This vaccine has been used in more people. And we know more about its Effectiveness And Safety than any, other vaccine that weve ever licensed. Hurry up, already. Right. So whens going on . Because, look, im sure you hear it all the time. Being a white coat. That, listen, if its so easy and so good, why isnt it approved, yet . And im not giving it to my kids before its approved. And State Officials, local officials, even private entities, saying look, i dont think that we can demand that people take it when its not even approved, yet. This would be a big piece in the puzzle, would it not . Oh, it certainly would. It would put at ease many, many people. And would make it so much easier for us to speak to so many folks. And get people who are, still, anxious and not quite convinced over the line. And we could get them vaccinated. It would be a great help. And i would urge my friends at the fda. I have no insights into the process. I would say, how about a few allnighters and long weekends . Lets get a moveon, please. Because who is going to believe the fda about not needing a booster when they cant even say this thing is approved, yet . Look, not many people are saying this. Its not that politically popular but who cares . I hear it from too many people. They should get it done. Biden says he is going to do what he can. Thats what he can do. Let me ask you something else, as i let you go. Are those cds over your right shoulder in that rack . They are. Yes. Any Bee Gees in there . I have all kinds of stuff but i dont think i have beegees. What . I am dr. I have a lot of country music. Here in nashville. Of course, you do. Youre down in nashville and youre a mans man. All right, doctor, be well. Always a pleasure. My pleasure.

Elliott joins us now. God bless, brother. Thank you for what youre doing. Tell us why you started. Yes, sir. Pretty much in 2019 it was a Food Drive that me and the mayor of andrews we conducted. Andrews is a small town. We did the Food Drive. We had about 250 Family Boxes that we can provide for the area and once those boxes was gone, i did notice that there was a few people that wasnt able to get any. So i was walking out the door to try to tell them sorry we were out, and when i turned my head down the block, there were a lot of people still left. Just distraught by the folks who couldnt receive the food. But even more distraught by the fact that some of them just turned around and started walking back. They didnt go to cars or anything. And i caught up with some of them and i was like, im sorry, im sorry, is there anything i can do . Im sorry, are you walking back to a car . You need a hand . P and we had some elderly folks there. And they were like, no, i walked 3 miles to get to the Food Drive. And from that moment on i said im dealing with Food And Beverage now but i need to do something about this. And thats how it started. Where did you get the idea that ill trade you ribs for a wreck, and ill fix it up and give it away . Well, of course, with anything a good tradeoff would be great versus it going to the Salvage Yard. I figured the ribs would be a good pitch to get folks to let me have their cars instead of going to the Salvage Yard and you get a Dinner Plate of ribs on me. So that started off, and it took off after that. And theyre giving you cars that where you dont you can get them to a place where theyre going to pass inspection and people will feel good at it. And how is it scaling up in terms of what youve seen with what these cars mean to people in their lives . What ive seen is just a turn of emotions, a turn of a lifestyle. Theyre able to do different jobs, go and seek jobs. All of this is really pretty much going on during of course the worldwide Covid outbreak. When all of this happened, folks were losing jobs. They needed to be able to pay their bills and they couldnt. Folks were losing their cars and homes and all that stuff. So ive seen a whole lot from the cars that were donated up until this date as far as how it changed lives and just made people a little bit more comfortable, made them be able to go out and search for jobs and reliable transportation for Grocery Shopping and medicines and hospital bills. Hospital visits. I know its ramping up. Word is spreading and people want to help you and get you cars but you cant do it all by yourself. Especially when youre running a business. And you want to be able to help more people. So theres a Gofundme Page, right . Where can people find it and what is your hope . Yes, sir. My Gofundme Page is its a you can go on facebook and its under Middletons Village to village foundation. Thats the main page that we operate off of. This is all something thats just getting pumped up as far as the page is concerned. You can go there and find the Mailing Address and also just folks pitching in now. Like we have car carriers, we have different folks that are asking how can they help, what can they do . It was just me and one other friend who pretty much towed those cars, repaired the cars and got them to the family. Thats the way it was for pretty much the last nine months. But were starting to get more people involved. Were starting people who just want to help. Thats something that i didnt think was going to be on the broad span it is now. But my logo and my pitch on my foundation is Middletons Village to village. Middletons village to village. Middletons village to village. Middletons village to village. Middleton is m mm mid middleton. You have right now a goal of getting to 50 grand. Youre going to get to 50. Im going to tweet it out. Youre going to have to pick a new goal because youre going to have more people to help. Real quick, whats the secret . Whats the difference between a good rib and a great rib . I tell you what, a good rib and a great rib, thats a tough question. Because sometimes i sit there and i want my customers to experience it. Sometimes they go off the wall, these are the best ribs ive ever had. Other times its more like, let me try another piece. And once they try the other piece its like this is awesome. The fried ribs is awesome. They just love picking choices and coming in and experiencing a good time at my restaurant. Yes, sir. I love it. Im going to talk to you in the break. Ive got to see how i can get some flown up right away. Elliot middleton, thank you. Im glad youre doing well and im impressed that youre doing good for people. God bless and thank you.

That sounds much no, no. You deserve everything. Youre not me. You deserve good things. I dont believe that. Were all doing the best we can especially on a night like tonight. Whats leading the show for you . Whats got you burning . Voting rights. It should be burning everyone. The idea that were in a democracy in 2021 and its still up for debate, whether it should happen, whether it can be happening. Its unbelievable to think that im still and everyone is still talking about Voting Rights because theyre still seeming to be on the chopping block. I dont understand why. Sure you do. Because they want more of theirs and less of others to vote. This is about winning. And it doesnt matter if it winds up creating racial strife. It doesnt matter if it takes us back culturally. Its about winning. I keep thinking about sisyphus, you know that story where they rolled up the boulder sisyphus. Rolls it up, comes right back down. I keep putting that together with dr.
