17:17 How do you do that on a salary a couple hundred grand? I'd like somebody to tell me how Dan Crenshaw went to Congress with no money and is now worth massive amounts. I mean, it's all the same. Remember 15 years ago, Congress got in trouble for insider trading? So they passed a law to insider trade. As long as they disclose on a form that comes out a month after the trade, where no one else can use the information, as long as they disclose, they're allowed to do it. It's like a license to kill. As long as I tell you later I did something wrong, it's okay. So I'm going to say this again when I play this clip. $95.3 billion. When this country, for the general average person, because I've got a lot of family that have multiple college degrees, basically they all do, and most of them are veterans, and they work for power companies, and they work for school districts, and they
18:24 they work in law enforcement and they work in you name it professional jobs. And I got a big family on both sides, and I see him all three or four times a year, and I'll talk to him and come to dinner for like an hour and a half. They go. Sorry I got to go to work and I go, Where are you going? Oh, I got a second job. We own a gas station stuff like you're like how much you make not much, but we allows us to go on trips and save some money. But that's how they are. I mean, they love working 14 hours a day, but
19:00 They weren't doing that five years ago, 10 years ago. And all of my family, including family that are doctors, not my dad, other families, doctors have to work 60 hours a week. I mean, unless you're some rockstar plastic surgeon or some brain surgeon, the top surgeons, they can command whatever they want. Those guys are making 10 million bucks a year. But the average dentist, the average doctor, the average MD and you know, they're liability insurance is like 30 grand a year, and there's all these other expenses and everything else. Most doctors don't even start making money until they're 35, paying off the student loans. So all I'm saying is I don't need to read the news that tells me the economy's great. I talk to people on the street, I look at the numbers, you're out there listening, you're like, yeah, yeah, we hear you. And all of my family is working more than they've ever worked, and they've got college degrees and honorable discharges, and they're managers.
20:01 And they've all got two jobs at least. And that's not counting the other jobs they do. The other, you know, some of them, we have a family farm, family ranches, and running cows and planting Christmas trees and stuff just pays the taxes. And so sometimes they're up at 10 o'clock at night baling hay, and they love it. God love them. But the point is, you compare that when they're driving around, you know, with a tractor and its lights on, to the average millennial sitting around with their thumb up their rear end
20:37 And when the, you can criticize boomers all day, but a lot of them are lazy, a lot of them are hard working. And then the people right behind the boomers, Gen Xers, I'm seeing the statistics. I'm not saying everybody young is bad, but the numbers are clear. The millennials are the most lazy generation ever seen. They have no aspiration on average. Some are great. And you get into the Gen Z people and I mean, it's just a freak show. An absolute freak show. No connection reality. I mean, I remember being like 12 years old saying, I want a new pair of tennis shoes. My dad said, get up and get a job. And I remember about 12 years old sitting at the E-Z Mart, and he was pumping gas. He said, go in and get me a coffee and blah, blah, blah. We're going to go out on the boat or something. My dad said, if you want new tennis shoes, you need to get a job. So he'd buy me like two pairs of shoes a year, which is great looking back on it because I had to figure stuff out. I remember going to my dad, because I'd been reading the newspaper back then. I go, well, actually, there's child labor laws. He laughed.
21:42 And he said, well, I don't think it precludes that. And about a day later, he goes, I looked it up, you're right. He goes, you won the $100 bet. I had a $100 bet with him. But he said, now here's your 100 bucks. But he said, you're really in trouble now. And I said, I don't know how to get a job. So he put me in the car and drove to the marina in the neighborhood, speaking of boats, marches me into the old World War II, whatever it was, wasn't that old then, behind the counter, and goes, my son, he's learned how to work. You hire him here and he goes, yeah, we'll hire him for minimum wage. You say so, Mr. Jones, blah, blah, blah. How many days a week you want to work? Well, I want him to work after school, you know, during the months and then some in the summer and I'll be able to have a few weeks off when we're on vacation, but that's great, he'll be here. What do you want him to do? He goes, I'll put him to work power washing. And then as soon as I was power washing and go get the keys of this or bring that over here, getting this golf cart and drive over here and do this,
22:38 All of a sudden I had all these people that were in this wealthy area of Dallas seeing a kid working. They're like, hey, who are you? Who are your parents? You want a job? You want to come mow my yard? Then all of a sudden I was mowing people's yards. And see, that's why you, I know people that have worked know this. You're like, why are you telling me something we already know? Because a lot of people don't know this folks. A lot of people, speak of the devil, that's my middle daughter calling me. They don't know how this works. Like, you don't just go get a minimum wage job, you go get it, and when you work hard, you get promoted. I remember I only had a few fast food jobs, and the reason I quit them was within two months of the two fast food jobs I had, I had three, every time within two months I was the manager.
23:30 I was getting double the money, but it meant they wanted 60, 70 hours a week. And when you're 17, 18, bossing around 25-year-olds, it doesn't go well. And I didn't like telling people to get their asses in gear and pay attention at the ice cream shop and the two hamburger places I worked. But I'm digressing, and I'm sorry. You know, as you get older, you get more and more nostalgic. But the only bad part about working at the marina was that's when I started drinking at 12. Because the old World War II vets, there's a couple of them that managed it and I guess they owned it. They were always giving me Kurzweil lights. Wow, you worked really hard. You just cleaned 14 boats today, boy. Get over here and have a Kurzweil light with me. Then it'd be like, I'm going fishing at 5am tomorrow. I'm going to catch catfish. You ready to go? And man, it's the coolest thing hanging out with those old men. But then it's 5am, they're trying to get you to drink Kurzweil light.
24:34 So, I don't know, some will say it's good to shelter your children. Of course, I looked like I was 15 when I was 12. I'm done talking about that. Let's go to this disgusting, traitorous clip of them openly saying Mike Johnson's on by the Democrats and they're gonna outvote the Republicans now. This makes McCarthy look like an angel cake. Here it is. Congressman Conant, does Speaker Johnson deserve credit for how this played out? He does. Look, we came into Congress together and he always cared about civility. He actually led the civility pledge. And we had one issue, which was give individual votes. Don't lump things together.
25:11 And I give him credit for doing this. I would actually vote to table any motion to vacate him. You know, Chairman McCaul quoted Churchill. One of the things Churchill said is that America always exhausted every wrong option until doing the right thing. And this shows that American democracy still is very strong. Okay, you just said something significant. You said you would oppose the table, the motion to vacate. In other words, You will protect Speaker Johnson's job if Marjorie Taylor Greene and the others go through with their threat to try to remove him. I would, through the end of the term. I expect Speaker Pelosi... Speaker Jeffress will be there in 2025. But look, I'm a progressive Democrat, and I think you would have a few progressive Democrats doing that, and I disagree with Speaker Johnson on many issues and have been very critical of him, but he did the right thing here, and he deserves to keep his job till the end of this term.
