<v Speaker 4>those to whom they entrust, our nation's highest officers. We

38
00:03:41.000 --> 00:03:46.919
<v Speaker 4>then united and are resolved to do something about it, which,

39
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:50.039
<v Speaker 4>whether we like it or not, spells you.

40
00:03:50.039 --> 00:03:57.439
<v Speaker 1>You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. You tuned

41
00:03:57.439 --> 00:03:59.240
<v Speaker 1>into right Side Radio.

42
00:04:01.759 --> 00:04:05.800
<v Speaker 2>All right, guys, you have found that it is the

43
00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:12.479
<v Speaker 2>right Side Radio program recording this episode on Friday, March

44
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:17.680
<v Speaker 2>the twenty first, and of course we apologized that we

45
00:04:17.720 --> 00:04:22.319
<v Speaker 2>didn't release one yesterday because just a lot of stuff

46
00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:25.839
<v Speaker 2>going on. As I've mentioned before, the delivery, you're out,

47
00:04:26.079 --> 00:04:31.959
<v Speaker 2>and sometimes that takes toll on your fatigue level and

48
00:04:32.000 --> 00:04:35.480
<v Speaker 2>that pulls you back and you're just not quite able

49
00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:40.399
<v Speaker 2>to record the way that you want to. But yesterday

50
00:04:41.720 --> 00:04:48.879
<v Speaker 2>I also got pulled into recording Chris McDaniels America by myself.

51
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:55.600
<v Speaker 2>Chris last second was not able to break free from work,

52
00:04:56.000 --> 00:05:01.399
<v Speaker 2>and because of that, he he needed me to go

53
00:05:01.439 --> 00:05:04.040
<v Speaker 2>ahead and host without him. We already had it scheduled,

54
00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:08.120
<v Speaker 2>everything was set up to go, so it made more

55
00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:13.000
<v Speaker 2>sense for me to just go ahead and host that

56
00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:17.279
<v Speaker 2>show by myself. I know if I had called Jim Sielski,

57
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:19.839
<v Speaker 2>he to probably figured out a way to get there,

58
00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:22.120
<v Speaker 2>but I just didn't want to. I didn't want to

59
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:25.839
<v Speaker 2>bother them. So what I did was I took some

60
00:05:25.959 --> 00:05:31.240
<v Speaker 2>of the ideas that I had for this week's Right

61
00:05:31.279 --> 00:05:38.519
<v Speaker 2>Side Radio program, utilized those as an episode for Chris

62
00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:45.079
<v Speaker 2>McDaniel's America instead of recording it as a Right Side episode.

63
00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:48.040
<v Speaker 2>I think it's a good episode. You can go find

64
00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:53.040
<v Speaker 2>it on the Midnight Rides Facebook page and go find

65
00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:58.040
<v Speaker 2>it on center Chris McDaniel facebook page. It's on the

66
00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Midnight Rides YouTube channel, so there are multiple places you

67
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:06.800
<v Speaker 2>can go and find the Chris McDaniels America. I highly

68
00:06:06.920 --> 00:06:09.600
<v Speaker 2>encourage you go do that, and while you're doing that,

69
00:06:09.639 --> 00:06:13.000
<v Speaker 2>make sure you subscribe to it. Help our YouTube page

70
00:06:13.079 --> 00:06:16.600

00:06:16.720 --> 00:06:20.319
<v Speaker 2>us if you could do that. And of course, if

72
00:06:20.319 --> 00:06:22.839
<v Speaker 2>you've not already liked and subscribe to the Right Side

<v Speaker 2>We are one of the featured shows now, which is exciting.

80
00:06:55.240 --> 00:06:58.480
<v Speaker 2>As we continue to grow, we continue to ask you

81
00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:02.399
<v Speaker 2>guys to share us because that's how we're able to

82
00:07:02.439 --> 00:07:07.639
<v Speaker 2>accomplish this and hopefully this will lead to a larger

83
00:07:07.680 --> 00:07:10.720
<v Speaker 2>audience and the Right Side will continue to grow. The

84
00:07:10.759 --> 00:07:13.680
<v Speaker 2>Midnight Ride will continue to grow, and we'll just keep

85
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:20.800
<v Speaker 2>seeing our conservative message continue to get spread. Now, there's

86
00:07:20.839 --> 00:07:23.360
<v Speaker 2>a lot that's going on in the news, But of course,

87
00:07:23.879 --> 00:07:32.160
<v Speaker 2>yesterday I spent Chris McDaniels America talking about the Trump

88
00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:35.519
<v Speaker 2>executive order that is going to lead to the abolishment

89
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:39.560
<v Speaker 2>of the Department of Education. I gave my thoughts on

90
00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:43.160
<v Speaker 2>why I like that, but I also gave you my

91
00:07:44.079 --> 00:07:48.600
<v Speaker 2>skepticism on whether or not it'll actually take because my

92
00:07:48.680 --> 00:07:52.439
<v Speaker 2>complete and total lack of faith of the Republicans in

93
00:07:52.560 --> 00:07:58.399
<v Speaker 2>Congress to actually do anything to codify it. I definitely

94
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:02.560
<v Speaker 2>express that. So there's no there's no real point in

95
00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:06.759
<v Speaker 2>me repeating myself and going back over that. I've been

96
00:08:06.839 --> 00:08:12.800
<v Speaker 2>looking through the released JFK files and I see some

97
00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:19.000
<v Speaker 2>things that are of interest, but it's there hadn't been

98
00:08:19.040 --> 00:08:21.879
<v Speaker 2>that smoking gun that we were all hoping for when

99
00:08:21.920 --> 00:08:26.199
<v Speaker 2>we heard that Trump was about to declassify all these files.

100
00:08:27.079 --> 00:08:29.040
<v Speaker 2>We just hadn't found it yet. Not saying there's not

101
00:08:29.199 --> 00:08:35.399
<v Speaker 2>something there, just saying we haven't found it yet. So

102
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:39.519
<v Speaker 2>going through some of these stories, I just decided I've

103
00:08:39.519 --> 00:08:43.159
<v Speaker 2>already covered it this week, on whether it was in

104
00:08:43.279 --> 00:08:46.919
<v Speaker 2>morning coffees or whether or not it was the guest

105
00:08:46.919 --> 00:08:51.120
<v Speaker 2>hosting duty of Chris McDaniel's America. So what could I

106
00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:57.159
<v Speaker 2>do well? About a month ago, I sat down and

107
00:08:57.240 --> 00:09:01.399
<v Speaker 2>did an interview with Chris McDaniel for a profile piece

108
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:06.399
<v Speaker 2>that I was writing for The Laurel Leer Call. It

109
00:09:06.480 --> 00:09:10.120
<v Speaker 2>was one in which I interviewed him, I interviewed his boys.

110
00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:14.320
<v Speaker 2>I even got a couple of quotes from his wife, Jill,

111
00:09:15.559 --> 00:09:18.200
<v Speaker 2>and it was basically a piece the way how it

112
00:09:18.279 --> 00:09:21.879
<v Speaker 2>was crafted in the newspaper, a piece of how Chris

113
00:09:21.919 --> 00:09:26.919
<v Speaker 2>has left the State Senate and is able to focus

114
00:09:27.120 --> 00:09:32.279
<v Speaker 2>more on his children and their baseball careers. It's a

115
00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:36.000
<v Speaker 2>piece that I was really proud of and really happy

116
00:09:36.080 --> 00:09:40.360
<v Speaker 2>to get to right. But I did record the interview,

117
00:09:40.440 --> 00:09:44.799
<v Speaker 2>and there's so much more, because, again, when you're writing

118
00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:48.159
<v Speaker 2>a story, especially when you have a hook, you have

119
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:51.840
<v Speaker 2>a direction you want to go with the story, there's

120
00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:56.080
<v Speaker 2>only so much that you can put into the written

121
00:09:56.200 --> 00:09:59.360
<v Speaker 2>space that you're given. And believe me, I was given

122
00:09:59.600 --> 00:10:03.039
<v Speaker 2>a term menace about of space because it was well

123
00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:08.559
<v Speaker 2>over two thousand word feature story. But even then, there's

124
00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:11.240
<v Speaker 2>so much because it's a thirty minute interview and I

125
00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:16.320
<v Speaker 2>didn't I couldn't fit everything into the interview space. The

126
00:10:16.320 --> 00:10:20.679
<v Speaker 2>way that I wanted to. So with Chris's permission, I

127
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:29.440
<v Speaker 2>asked him, can I play the unedited interview and let

128
00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:32.000
<v Speaker 2>the listening audience hear a little bit more. I think

129
00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:34.039
<v Speaker 2>in this interview.

130
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:34.440
<v Speaker 1>You'll hear.

131
00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:43.080
<v Speaker 2>Chris talk very candidly about how he feels about the

132
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:48.480
<v Speaker 2>legislature in general, and it's total, it's totally ineptitude, and

133
00:10:48.519 --> 00:10:52.080
<v Speaker 2>the fact that the Republicans who have long claimed to

134
00:10:52.080 --> 00:10:55.240
<v Speaker 2>be the champions of conservative values are the very ones

135
00:10:55.279 --> 00:10:58.720
<v Speaker 2>who have been slapping conservatives in the face the last

136
00:10:58.759 --> 00:11:02.919
<v Speaker 2>several years in many ways. For those of you who

137
00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:06.480
<v Speaker 2>aren't as familiar with the process as might be eye

138
00:11:06.519 --> 00:11:10.960
<v Speaker 2>opening for those of us who feel like we do

139
00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:14.360
<v Speaker 2>know the process, it's probably going to be validating in

140
00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:21.480
<v Speaker 2>your opinion that the process is extremely broken. So, because

141
00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:24.519
<v Speaker 2>Chris gave me that permission, now this will be a

142
00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:27.919
<v Speaker 2>shorter show. So I'm going to take an earlier commercial

143
00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:31.320
<v Speaker 2>break than usual, just because again we want to pay

144
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:33.639
<v Speaker 2>a couple of bills here or there and make sure

145
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:38.360
<v Speaker 2>that we get our sponsors happy. So I'm going to

146
00:11:38.960 --> 00:11:43.120
<v Speaker 2>Paul's right here for a commercial break. I know this

147
00:11:43.240 --> 00:11:47.559
<v Speaker 2>is way earlier in the show, but after this break,

148
00:11:47.919 --> 00:11:52.679
<v Speaker 2>I'll introduce the interview segment. We'll come back and play

149
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:56.919
<v Speaker 2>that straight through with no interruptions, and let you hear

150
00:11:57.120 --> 00:12:01.279
<v Speaker 2>this candid interview with Chris mcdanie and you'll get to

00:14:02.080 --> 00:14:06.159
<v Speaker 2>Side Radio Program again. I'm your host, Jack Fairchild's, and

163
00:14:07.279 --> 00:14:10.759
<v Speaker 2>I'm going to go into this interview that I played

164
00:14:10.759 --> 00:14:14.039
<v Speaker 2>with Chris McDaniel now again. I recorded this about a

165
00:14:14.159 --> 00:14:18.720
<v Speaker 2>month ago for the intent for a newspaper article that

166
00:14:18.840 --> 00:14:22.000
<v Speaker 2>has already run. Great feature. You can check it out

167
00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:25.720
<v Speaker 2>at the Laurel Leader. Call and check out this feature

168
00:14:25.799 --> 00:14:29.480
<v Speaker 2>that I did on Chris and as boys, But there

169
00:14:29.559 --> 00:14:31.480
<v Speaker 2>was so much more out of this interview that I

170
00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:34.080
<v Speaker 2>wasn't able to get to. As I said in the

171
00:14:34.120 --> 00:14:40.720
<v Speaker 2>first segment, that I want to play this full uninterrupted interview.

172
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:45.879
<v Speaker 2>So let me start this for you right now. Well, Chris,

173
00:14:45.919 --> 00:14:49.879
<v Speaker 2>first off, you know, you served in Missisi State Senate

174
00:14:49.960 --> 00:14:53.799
<v Speaker 2>for sixteen years. Correct, that's correct.

175
00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:54.279
<v Speaker 3>You know?

176
00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:57.000
<v Speaker 2>First off, you know, I mean you fought many battles

177
00:14:57.080 --> 00:14:59.720
<v Speaker 2>up there in the in the Senate, you know, and

178
00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:05.279
<v Speaker 2>how much how hard was it during those sixteen years

179
00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:07.879
<v Speaker 2>to have to be away from family during session?

180
00:15:08.360 --> 00:15:13.159
<v Speaker 1>It was incredibly difficult. It's some of the things that

181
00:15:13.200 --> 00:15:16.840
<v Speaker 1>I regret about the sixteen years. Of course, of course,

182
00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:19.720
<v Speaker 1>I've always been involved in politics. I always involved in politics,

183
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:23.720
<v Speaker 1>probably two thousand and eight, and I've always fault for

184
00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:27.639
<v Speaker 1>my convictions, the things that I believe would make this

185
00:15:27.679 --> 00:15:33.440
<v Speaker 1>country better and to me in many ways, it hasn't stopped.

186
00:15:33.440 --> 00:15:36.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm still involved in the fight. Almost every day. I'm

187
00:15:36.519 --> 00:15:39.039
<v Speaker 1>being asked to speak, or being asked to write, or

188
00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:43.039
<v Speaker 1>being asked to influence so and those things they haven't

189
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:48.399
<v Speaker 1>changed much. Being away though from my boys was probably

190
00:15:48.879 --> 00:15:50.960
<v Speaker 1>not probably you know, being away from the boys was

191
00:15:50.960 --> 00:15:55.480
<v Speaker 1>the most difficult part of that job. When you thank

192
00:15:55.559 --> 00:15:58.519
<v Speaker 1>you on the fact that I'm a lawyer as well

193
00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:02.759
<v Speaker 1>and licensed to practice the States, and I'm going a

194
00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:05.480
<v Speaker 1>lot with a legal job as well, it just adds

195
00:16:05.559 --> 00:16:08.000
<v Speaker 1>to that regret that I spent so much time away.

196
00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:13.000
<v Speaker 1>Strangely enough, I was doing it for them. I hope

197
00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:15.159
<v Speaker 1>one day they'll understand that. I hope one day they

198
00:16:15.200 --> 00:16:17.720
<v Speaker 1>can see past the fact that in many ways I

199
00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:19.879
<v Speaker 1>wasn't with them the way I should have been, or

200
00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:22.240
<v Speaker 1>at least the way I believe I should have been.

201
00:16:22.799 --> 00:16:25.639
<v Speaker 1>But I did the very best I could under very

202
00:16:25.639 --> 00:16:29.320
<v Speaker 1>difficult circumstances. And but yeah, it was it was tough.

203
00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:30.039
<v Speaker 1>It was really tough.

204
00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:33.600
<v Speaker 2>You talked about you know, you have always been in politics,

205
00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:36.679
<v Speaker 2>you know, you started out the Right Side radio show.

206
00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:40.159
<v Speaker 1>Even before that. I mean, I've been involved in Republican

207
00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:43.279
<v Speaker 1>politics since I was eighteen years old, No, probably before

208
00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:46.679
<v Speaker 1>I was helping I was doing my best to get

209
00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:49.399
<v Speaker 1>to kirk Ford I selected. So it was well prior.

210
00:16:49.120 --> 00:16:54.720
<v Speaker 2>To the of course, now you're you're doing the Chris

211
00:16:54.759 --> 00:16:58.600
<v Speaker 2>McDaniel's America on the Midnight Ride network, so and of

212
00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:04.319
<v Speaker 2>course still actively fighting for or against certain pieces of legislation.

213
00:17:05.160 --> 00:17:07.680
<v Speaker 2>So despite the fact you're not a member of the

214
00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:11.079
<v Speaker 2>body currently, you're still an active participant.

215
00:17:11.440 --> 00:17:14.599
<v Speaker 1>Well yeah, Once a senator, always a senator, And it

216
00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:17.799
<v Speaker 1>doesn't change the influence that I still have. I have

217
00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:21.400
<v Speaker 1>many many friends that still serve and we talk almost daily,

218
00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:26.079
<v Speaker 1>so it's still an important point. Look at it this way,

219
00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:27.559
<v Speaker 1>look at it this way. There are two ways to

220
00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:29.799
<v Speaker 1>have influence in this world. One is you can have

221
00:17:29.839 --> 00:17:33.839
<v Speaker 1>a very narrow feel of influence inside of capital building.

222
00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:38.200
<v Speaker 1>I never wanted that influence. The influence I saw was

223
00:17:38.200 --> 00:17:41.279
<v Speaker 1>the ability to influence legislation from outside the capital building,

224
00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:43.720
<v Speaker 1>that is, going straight to the people and talking to

225
00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:46.000
<v Speaker 1>the people. The reason I saw it that way is

226
00:17:46.039 --> 00:17:49.480
<v Speaker 1>because I always saw the people as my bosses, and

227
00:17:49.559 --> 00:17:52.559
<v Speaker 1>as an employee of theirs, I wanted to be sure

228
00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:55.359
<v Speaker 1>that I was accountable to them. So I never tried

229
00:17:55.400 --> 00:18:01.039
<v Speaker 1>to find the internal capital ladder with committees with as

230
00:18:01.119 --> 00:18:03.799
<v Speaker 1>situations there. I spent my time outside of the capital

231
00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:06.599
<v Speaker 1>in that sense, influencing the population, and that's what I'm

232
00:18:06.640 --> 00:18:09.319
<v Speaker 1>still doing so to the extent. To that extent, nothing's

233
00:18:09.359 --> 00:18:10.000
<v Speaker 1>really changed.

234
00:18:10.680 --> 00:18:13.160
<v Speaker 2>Is that part of the reason why why you were serving.

235
00:18:13.359 --> 00:18:17.559
<v Speaker 2>You were very very active, especially during the legislative session

236
00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:22.440
<v Speaker 2>with Facebook lives updating different things that were happening. I

237
00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:25.079
<v Speaker 2>mean you did it outside of session too, but deuring

238
00:18:25.200 --> 00:18:29.119
<v Speaker 2>session it seemed to be like at least two three

239
00:18:29.160 --> 00:18:31.240
<v Speaker 2>times a week we would see you on Facebook Lite.

240
00:18:31.359 --> 00:18:34.400
<v Speaker 1>It was very important for me to remain accountable, to

241
00:18:34.519 --> 00:18:39.319
<v Speaker 1>remain open to the people, and sometimes the people would disagree,

242
00:18:39.559 --> 00:18:41.559
<v Speaker 1>and sometimes they would agree, but I still wanted them

243
00:18:41.599 --> 00:18:43.599
<v Speaker 1>to know what my position was, and I wanted to

244
00:18:43.640 --> 00:18:48.039
<v Speaker 1>do my best to represent their position. And you know,

245
00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:50.440
<v Speaker 1>as you know, I think to this day, I probably

246
00:18:50.480 --> 00:18:53.440
<v Speaker 1>have the largest social media followed any individual in the state,

247
00:18:53.799 --> 00:18:57.119
<v Speaker 1>certainly the largest to any politician in the state. So

248
00:18:57.279 --> 00:19:01.200
<v Speaker 1>being able to utilize that social media to reach people

249
00:19:01.240 --> 00:19:03.880
<v Speaker 1>and to do my best to influence debates, that's something

250
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:07.160
<v Speaker 1>I did when I was in Jackson. It's something I

251
00:19:07.160 --> 00:19:09.440
<v Speaker 1>did when I traveled. It's something I still do today,

252
00:19:09.480 --> 00:19:12.440
<v Speaker 1>because again, the fight isn't so much what's going on

253
00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:14.519
<v Speaker 1>inside the capital. The fight that's what's going on with

254
00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:18.599
<v Speaker 1>people and how they view the capitol. My personal position

255
00:19:18.720 --> 00:19:20.880
<v Speaker 1>is if we can wake people up, then we can

256
00:19:20.920 --> 00:19:24.680
<v Speaker 1>save this country. But if we stay asleep, or distracted

257
00:19:24.799 --> 00:19:27.519
<v Speaker 1>where we are now. Eventually we're going to lose the country.

258
00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:29.960
<v Speaker 2>Is there anything you miss about serving.

259
00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:33.960
<v Speaker 1>I miss nothing, absolutely nothing about it. And there's a

260
00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:38.599
<v Speaker 1>reason for that. A the great majority of the politicians

261
00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:47.200
<v Speaker 1>in this country are despicable, egoist, selfish, self centered. We'll

262
00:19:47.240 --> 00:19:50.839
<v Speaker 1>stop my friend in the back for a dime. People

263
00:19:50.839 --> 00:19:54.000
<v Speaker 1>that simply are despicable and can't be trusted. I don't

264
00:19:54.119 --> 00:19:57.400
<v Speaker 1>miss being around those types of people. Now, I did

265
00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:00.200
<v Speaker 1>not mean to infer that they're all that way. Are

266
00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:04.039
<v Speaker 1>some good ones out there, but it is a distinct minority.

267
00:20:04.559 --> 00:20:06.960
<v Speaker 1>There's almost no integrity in this business. There's almost no

268
00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:13.599
<v Speaker 1>justice in this business. It's rumors and accusations and backstabbing.

269
00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:17.279
<v Speaker 1>So do I miss that junk. Absolutely not. I'll give

270
00:20:17.279 --> 00:20:20.440
<v Speaker 1>you some examples. I've I've practiced law all over the country,

271
00:20:20.920 --> 00:20:26.000
<v Speaker 1>and I've represented big companies and I've represented individuals. The

272
00:20:26.039 --> 00:20:30.119
<v Speaker 1>people that I meet with daily outside of politics are

273
00:20:30.279 --> 00:20:36.319
<v Speaker 1>far and away better human beings. They're smarter, they're more capable,

274
00:20:37.200 --> 00:20:39.640
<v Speaker 1>and that taught me a lot about human nature because

275
00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:44.279
<v Speaker 1>something about the prefer the perverse mindset of a politician

276
00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:47.480
<v Speaker 1>that seeks power and control. These are the very people

277
00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:50.319
<v Speaker 1>that don't belong anywhere near an office. So I don't

278
00:20:50.319 --> 00:20:54.480
<v Speaker 1>miss those people at all. I did not enjoy my

279
00:20:54.599 --> 00:20:56.480
<v Speaker 1>time serving with many of those people.

280
00:20:56.559 --> 00:20:58.880
<v Speaker 2>Just to be frank, was it always that way or

281
00:20:58.920 --> 00:21:02.039
<v Speaker 2>did it develop well a little bit over time.

282
00:21:02.680 --> 00:21:07.519
<v Speaker 1>It's it was always that way, but like any new politician,

283
00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:13.079
<v Speaker 1>I had not quite seen behind the veil yet. Once

284
00:21:13.119 --> 00:21:17.279
<v Speaker 1>you witness the corruption, once you're in those back rooms

285
00:21:17.319 --> 00:21:21.839
<v Speaker 1>and you see these conversations taking the place, it opened

286
00:21:21.880 --> 00:21:25.079
<v Speaker 1>your eyes and put it this way. Every year I

287
00:21:25.200 --> 00:21:28.000
<v Speaker 1>was there, it wasn't so much that it worsened. It

288
00:21:28.119 --> 00:21:32.880
<v Speaker 1>just became more apparent that it was occurring. But I'll

289
00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:34.480
<v Speaker 1>tell you again, I want to be clear about this.

290
00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:39.240
<v Speaker 1>There are very few good people serving in politics. And

291
00:21:41.160 --> 00:21:45.480
<v Speaker 1>once you realize that, it's liberating. And I realized it

292
00:21:45.880 --> 00:21:49.279
<v Speaker 1>pretty soon upon arriving. So yes, was it always like that,

293
00:21:49.319 --> 00:21:52.640
<v Speaker 1>absolutely that I had a full realization of how corrupt

294
00:21:52.680 --> 00:21:53.279
<v Speaker 1>it all was.

295
00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:53.960
<v Speaker 4>No.

296
00:21:55.799 --> 00:21:58.039
<v Speaker 2>Well, you know, one of the things that I think

297
00:21:58.079 --> 00:22:01.680
<v Speaker 2>shruck may was, you know, after you were out, it

298
00:22:01.799 --> 00:22:05.680
<v Speaker 2>seemed like there was a sense of relief, especially knowing

299
00:22:05.720 --> 00:22:09.799
<v Speaker 2>that your oldest was going into i think his junior

300
00:22:10.480 --> 00:22:15.799
<v Speaker 2>year of playing baseball. Your youngest this year is starting

301
00:22:16.359 --> 00:22:19.359
<v Speaker 2>on the seventh grade team, so he's starting high school

302
00:22:19.400 --> 00:22:26.000
<v Speaker 2>baseball himself. How awesome is it that you were outside

303
00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:28.960
<v Speaker 2>of when you get pulled away from, you know, legal work.

304
00:22:29.400 --> 00:22:31.799
<v Speaker 2>How awesome is it that you're going to be able

305
00:22:31.839 --> 00:22:36.720
<v Speaker 2>to see almost every game of your son's senior year

306
00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:40.240
<v Speaker 2>and probably a lot of your the start of your

307
00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:42.200
<v Speaker 2>youngest son seventh grade year.

308
00:22:42.400 --> 00:22:46.400
<v Speaker 1>It's incredibly important to me. I was blessed with a

309
00:22:46.440 --> 00:22:51.920
<v Speaker 1>wonderful father and I lost him too young, and then

310
00:22:52.119 --> 00:22:56.319
<v Speaker 1>I always wanted to emulate his influence my life with

311
00:22:56.359 --> 00:22:59.200
<v Speaker 1>my own sons, and in many ways I've done that.

312
00:23:00.079 --> 00:23:02.279
<v Speaker 1>Distinction is is that I miss way too much time,

313
00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:06.160
<v Speaker 1>And frankly, I missed a lot of time fighting for people,

314
00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:09.519
<v Speaker 1>fighting for their convictions, fighting for their viewpoints, and most

315
00:23:09.559 --> 00:23:13.200
<v Speaker 1>of them didn't care one way or the other. Many

316
00:23:13.200 --> 00:23:17.200
<v Speaker 1>folks can be as self interested in the self and

317
00:23:17.759 --> 00:23:21.240
<v Speaker 1>as yeah as self interested as the politicians they claim

318
00:23:21.279 --> 00:23:26.400
<v Speaker 1>they want to remove. And so the ability to fight

319
00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:29.039
<v Speaker 1>for my belief system, to fight for the people that

320
00:23:29.119 --> 00:23:31.799
<v Speaker 1>represented that elected me, that was a huge deal. But

321
00:23:31.839 --> 00:23:33.880
<v Speaker 1>it's not nearly as big as being the good daddy.

322
00:23:35.240 --> 00:23:37.720
<v Speaker 1>Look my sons are getting older. I am not going

323
00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:42.119
<v Speaker 1>to handle this empty mess very well because I love

324
00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:44.920
<v Speaker 1>them so much. I want them to be strong, good,

325
00:23:45.039 --> 00:23:47.000
<v Speaker 1>independent men. But at the same time, I would lie

326
00:23:47.000 --> 00:23:49.200
<v Speaker 1>if I told you I wanted them out of the house,

327
00:23:49.920 --> 00:23:53.559
<v Speaker 1>right So the ability to be around this part of

328
00:23:53.599 --> 00:23:58.599
<v Speaker 1>their lives, to hug them, to play with them, and

329
00:23:58.640 --> 00:24:02.079
<v Speaker 1>then watch them mature from being boys and to young men.

330
00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:05.039
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to miss another moment, not a second

331
00:24:05.039 --> 00:24:09.920
<v Speaker 1>of that. And so it was always very conflicting in

332
00:24:10.039 --> 00:24:12.359
<v Speaker 1>that I knew I had a duty to fight for

333
00:24:12.640 --> 00:24:18.000
<v Speaker 1>the people, but the overwhelming duty should have always been

334
00:24:18.119 --> 00:24:21.519
<v Speaker 1>and always will be being add daddy to those boys.

335
00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:24.440
<v Speaker 2>Let's talk about Cambridge for a second. You know, he's

336
00:24:25.319 --> 00:24:29.720
<v Speaker 2>he's already signed with Meridian Community College. Uh, he's put

337
00:24:29.799 --> 00:24:33.519
<v Speaker 2>up some monster home run numbers for a high school kid.

338
00:24:34.200 --> 00:24:37.079
<v Speaker 2>Uh you know, I mean, just just tell me about

339
00:24:37.119 --> 00:24:39.279
<v Speaker 2>what you see about Cambridge on the baseball I mean,

340
00:24:39.279 --> 00:24:41.880
<v Speaker 2>his his own ball coach just the other day in

341
00:24:41.920 --> 00:24:47.440
<v Speaker 2>a preview story, referred to him as probably Mississippi's best hitter.

342
00:24:47.599 --> 00:24:53.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he is an incredible hitter. More importantly, he's an

343
00:24:53.160 --> 00:24:58.960
<v Speaker 1>incredible human. Uh. You know, Baseball's a game and they'll

344
00:24:58.960 --> 00:25:01.359
<v Speaker 1>be a they'll come up point a time in his

345
00:25:01.400 --> 00:25:04.640
<v Speaker 1>life where he will have to give that game up.

346
00:25:05.960 --> 00:25:08.799
<v Speaker 1>And so the reason I like baseball is that I

347
00:25:08.880 --> 00:25:12.079
<v Speaker 1>believe it has helped him to become the man he is.

348
00:25:13.599 --> 00:25:18.720
<v Speaker 1>The sacrifice, the rules, the regulations, the ability to learn

349
00:25:18.759 --> 00:25:22.000
<v Speaker 1>to fail with dignity, these are all things that men

350
00:25:22.119 --> 00:25:24.119
<v Speaker 1>have to learn, and he's learned it very well. But

351
00:25:24.160 --> 00:25:27.039
<v Speaker 1>the most important thing is not his baseball career. The

352
00:25:27.079 --> 00:25:28.920
<v Speaker 1>most important thing is that he grows up to be

353
00:25:28.960 --> 00:25:33.000
<v Speaker 1>a good man, a good daddy to his children. And

354
00:25:33.160 --> 00:25:35.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, I've been incredibly blessed with that young man

355
00:25:35.240 --> 00:25:37.720
<v Speaker 1>because if you know him, you know he has the

356
00:25:37.720 --> 00:25:41.440
<v Speaker 1>biggest heart imaginable. You know, he doesn't have a pretentious

357
00:25:42.119 --> 00:25:46.759
<v Speaker 1>or unruly or stubborn bone in his body. He's just

358
00:25:46.799 --> 00:25:51.880
<v Speaker 1>a very rare and wonderful human being. So, putting baseball aside,

359
00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:54.519
<v Speaker 1>I don't care if he ever gets another hit. As

360
00:25:54.559 --> 00:25:57.640
<v Speaker 1>long as he it's a good boy and becomes a

361
00:25:57.680 --> 00:25:59.200
<v Speaker 1>good man, I'll be satisfied.

362
00:26:00.039 --> 00:26:04.160
<v Speaker 2>You know, when he first started playing ball, it was

363
00:26:04.200 --> 00:26:08.480
<v Speaker 2>on a T ball level and didn't seem as interested

364
00:26:08.519 --> 00:26:12.200
<v Speaker 2>in it as he has become. Did you ever envision

365
00:26:12.279 --> 00:26:15.640
<v Speaker 2>that baseball was going to become his love perhaps.

366
00:26:15.720 --> 00:26:20.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, I love baseball. I've taken him

367
00:26:20.400 --> 00:26:25.319
<v Speaker 1>to Rigley Field and Fenway Park and other baseball parks

368
00:26:25.359 --> 00:26:28.079
<v Speaker 1>for as long as he's been alive. I remember having

369
00:26:28.160 --> 00:26:31.319
<v Speaker 1>him in a stroller at Rigley Field, so he always

370
00:26:31.599 --> 00:26:33.799
<v Speaker 1>was around the game, and I think he understood the

371
00:26:33.880 --> 00:26:36.559
<v Speaker 1>historical significance of the game and what it means to

372
00:26:36.680 --> 00:26:41.519
<v Speaker 1>families and to American society. But watching him play tea

373
00:26:41.559 --> 00:26:48.160
<v Speaker 1>ball and that significant lack of focus was a bit hilarious,

374
00:26:49.359 --> 00:26:51.839
<v Speaker 1>you know, playing in the dirt, running the wrong direction,

375
00:26:52.319 --> 00:26:54.920
<v Speaker 1>chasing every ball that was hit. Every kid does that,

376
00:26:55.240 --> 00:26:58.119
<v Speaker 1>and that's what makes it so wonderful to watch. But

377
00:26:58.359 --> 00:27:01.880
<v Speaker 1>I think he would become altily obsessed with the seagle

378
00:27:01.920 --> 00:27:06.799
<v Speaker 1>sport of baseball, not necessarily, and I'm happy he did it. Yes,

379
00:27:07.480 --> 00:27:10.720
<v Speaker 1>It's a wonderful sport filled with important lessons for life.

380
00:27:10.839 --> 00:27:15.160
<v Speaker 1>And I believe that his coaches that he's had have

381
00:27:15.319 --> 00:27:19.920
<v Speaker 1>helped create this spectacular young man that we see today,

382
00:27:20.440 --> 00:27:23.440
<v Speaker 1>and I give them full credit for that as well. Chris.

383
00:27:23.640 --> 00:27:26.519
<v Speaker 2>You know, he was named one of two team captains

384
00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:29.720
<v Speaker 2>this year for his senior season. As a dad what's

385
00:27:29.759 --> 00:27:32.359
<v Speaker 2>that mean to you to see your son be elected

386
00:27:32.359 --> 00:27:33.720
<v Speaker 2>one of the two team captains.

387
00:27:35.480 --> 00:27:40.359
<v Speaker 1>I liked it, it was impressive, but I also had

388
00:27:40.400 --> 00:27:45.319
<v Speaker 1>to remind him of the responsibility that entels. He's not

389
00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:47.759
<v Speaker 1>just a captain to the starters. He's not just a

390
00:27:47.799 --> 00:27:50.240
<v Speaker 1>captain to the seniors. He's a captain to all those

391
00:27:50.279 --> 00:27:53.319
<v Speaker 1>young players that look up to him. And he needs

392
00:27:53.319 --> 00:27:57.799
<v Speaker 1>to be kind, irrespectful, and most importantly fair to all

393
00:27:57.839 --> 00:28:00.799
<v Speaker 1>those players. And he has been. But it's a great

394
00:28:00.799 --> 00:28:03.160
<v Speaker 1>honor for him, and I know he's excited about it.

395
00:28:04.279 --> 00:28:07.640
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, if he's happy, I'm happy, you know.

396
00:28:08.079 --> 00:28:10.200
<v Speaker 2>Talking with his coach the other day, he told me

397
00:28:10.359 --> 00:28:13.240
<v Speaker 2>stories you know of you know Cambridge, you know, just

398
00:28:13.279 --> 00:28:16.119
<v Speaker 2>being funny, always coming to get practice with a big

399
00:28:16.160 --> 00:28:20.680
<v Speaker 2>smile on his face, talked about finding his TikTok videos.

400
00:28:21.200 --> 00:28:24.960
<v Speaker 2>Is there any fun story you know about Cambridge you

401
00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:26.119
<v Speaker 2>would like to share right now?

402
00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:28.799
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. There's so many. When you take a

403
00:28:28.839 --> 00:28:31.759
<v Speaker 1>personality like his, which is open to the world and

404
00:28:31.799 --> 00:28:36.400
<v Speaker 1>its experiences, and yet it's so kind and unpretentious and

405
00:28:36.480 --> 00:28:41.119
<v Speaker 1>disarming and even goofy at times, there are dozens of

406
00:28:41.200 --> 00:28:45.759
<v Speaker 1>hilarious stories to tell about Cambridge, MCDA. I tell you what,

407
00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:47.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna give out a thought over the next day

408
00:28:47.319 --> 00:28:50.480
<v Speaker 1>or so. And I almost supplement that because there's got

409
00:28:50.599 --> 00:28:53.559
<v Speaker 1>to be one that that will be more fitty than

410
00:28:53.599 --> 00:28:56.960
<v Speaker 1>all the others. But they need us to say he's

411
00:28:56.960 --> 00:28:59.880
<v Speaker 1>he makes me laugh every single day.

412
00:29:00.480 --> 00:29:02.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, I got one that can relate to his pitching.

413
00:29:02.480 --> 00:29:03.920
<v Speaker 2>Did you know he was going to have a great

414
00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:06.240
<v Speaker 2>pitching arm when he tagged you in the eye with

415
00:29:06.279 --> 00:29:06.759
<v Speaker 2>that book?

416
00:29:08.000 --> 00:29:11.440
<v Speaker 1>There's true stories of aut pitching. That's really funny. I

417
00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:15.759
<v Speaker 1>was laying there in bed reading, getting ready to go

418
00:29:15.799 --> 00:29:19.400
<v Speaker 1>to bed, and like a little ninja, he sneaks in.

419
00:29:19.880 --> 00:29:21.559
<v Speaker 1>And he's a little fello at this time, maybe two

420
00:29:21.640 --> 00:29:24.559
<v Speaker 1>maybe three, and he has one of those small hardcover

421
00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:29.000
<v Speaker 1>books and it's thin, and instead of handed me the

422
00:29:29.039 --> 00:29:31.559
<v Speaker 1>book so I could read it to it, I guess

423
00:29:31.559 --> 00:29:33.799
<v Speaker 1>he thought it would be cute to try to impel me,

424
00:29:34.680 --> 00:29:37.480
<v Speaker 1>and so he crow hops the book with his strongest

425
00:29:38.400 --> 00:29:40.480
<v Speaker 1>throw and he hit me right in the corner of

426
00:29:40.519 --> 00:29:42.680
<v Speaker 1>the eye. And I had a couple of speeches to

427
00:29:42.680 --> 00:29:44.599
<v Speaker 1>give that week, and I remember giving thosepeeches for the

428
00:29:44.640 --> 00:29:47.680
<v Speaker 1>Black Eye, which was hilarious because I've never seen anybody

429
00:29:47.720 --> 00:29:49.880
<v Speaker 1>walking down the street with a black eye that I

430
00:29:49.920 --> 00:29:53.000
<v Speaker 1>didn't think was crazy, and so naturally the people I

431
00:29:53.039 --> 00:29:55.880
<v Speaker 1>was giving the speech you probably thought I was crazy.

432
00:29:56.160 --> 00:29:57.880
<v Speaker 1>The other one I thought was funny was this a

433
00:29:57.880 --> 00:30:01.920
<v Speaker 1>few years ago. He was pitching a little bit here

434
00:30:01.960 --> 00:30:04.799
<v Speaker 1>and there. And if you know him, this is such

435
00:30:04.839 --> 00:30:06.960
<v Speaker 1>a camera story because he walks in, he goes, Daddy,

436
00:30:06.960 --> 00:30:09.839
<v Speaker 1>I want to tell you something, he says. I think

437
00:30:09.839 --> 00:30:12.079
<v Speaker 1>I'm probably one of the best pictures in the whole state.

438
00:30:13.319 --> 00:30:19.240
<v Speaker 1>I just can't throw strikes. Just consider that for a moment. See,

439
00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:21.559
<v Speaker 1>he had not quite understood that the whole point of

440
00:30:21.599 --> 00:30:25.559
<v Speaker 1>pitching just to throw strikes. But that's who he is.

441
00:30:25.640 --> 00:30:28.279
<v Speaker 1>And like I said, there are dozens of stories about

442
00:30:28.279 --> 00:30:30.480
<v Speaker 1>Cambridge that would be wonderful too.

443
00:30:31.759 --> 00:30:36.440
<v Speaker 2>Now you're daring a lot of times during weekend and

444
00:30:36.519 --> 00:30:40.160
<v Speaker 2>sometimes in the afternoons, you'll leave the office and head

445
00:30:40.160 --> 00:30:43.279
<v Speaker 2>out to a ball field and help him with the swing.

446
00:30:43.519 --> 00:30:47.799
<v Speaker 2>You know, I mean, how first off, how impressive is

447
00:30:47.839 --> 00:30:49.480
<v Speaker 2>it that he's willing to come to his dad and

448
00:30:49.559 --> 00:30:52.359
<v Speaker 2>ask for help with that swing that you know he

449
00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:58.079
<v Speaker 2>gets rave reviews on anyway, And how does that make

450
00:30:58.119 --> 00:31:01.200
<v Speaker 2>you feel as a dad, know that he wants you

451
00:31:01.279 --> 00:31:03.839
<v Speaker 2>to help when he feels like he's struggling.

452
00:31:03.960 --> 00:31:06.319
<v Speaker 1>I love that That's what daddies were supposed to do.

453
00:31:06.799 --> 00:31:08.720
<v Speaker 1>We're supposed to always be there to help when our

454
00:31:08.799 --> 00:31:11.599
<v Speaker 1>children are struggling, whether it's a swing or whether it's life.

455
00:31:12.799 --> 00:31:17.039
<v Speaker 1>Didies are here to provide safety and security, and I

456
00:31:17.079 --> 00:31:20.920
<v Speaker 1>think that's an important responsibility that I have. So for

457
00:31:21.200 --> 00:31:22.960
<v Speaker 1>him to ask the advice on it really means a

458
00:31:23.000 --> 00:31:24.559
<v Speaker 1>lot to me. He knows I know the game. He

459
00:31:24.640 --> 00:31:26.519
<v Speaker 1>knows I've played a lot of baseball, and he knows

460
00:31:26.599 --> 00:31:30.440
<v Speaker 1>that when I see those slight adjustments that could be

461
00:31:30.480 --> 00:31:33.200
<v Speaker 1>problematic he has with this swing, he knows we can

462
00:31:33.240 --> 00:31:37.559
<v Speaker 1>make those small changes and getting right back to form.

463
00:31:38.079 --> 00:31:39.359
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, it means a lot to me that he

464
00:31:39.400 --> 00:31:41.359
<v Speaker 1>would ask. And I love doing and I love pitching

465
00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:44.880
<v Speaker 1>to him. I love throwing with him. You know, we

466
00:31:44.920 --> 00:31:48.720
<v Speaker 1>take for granted as fathers just playing catch. Yep. I

467
00:31:48.759 --> 00:31:50.839
<v Speaker 1>wish I could play catch with my dad one more time.

468
00:31:51.799 --> 00:31:54.000
<v Speaker 1>But the thing I remember about him is is that

469
00:31:54.240 --> 00:31:58.079
<v Speaker 1>every time people play catch, big smile. He always had

470
00:31:58.079 --> 00:32:00.759
<v Speaker 1>this really big smile on his face. And that's that's

471
00:32:00.799 --> 00:32:04.279
<v Speaker 1>a really neat memory for me because it was spontaneous

472
00:32:04.319 --> 00:32:07.240
<v Speaker 1>and it was real it well, nothing fake about it.

473
00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:09.559
<v Speaker 1>So when he would throw with me, he would just smile,

474
00:32:10.000 --> 00:32:12.559
<v Speaker 1>and that's what every father's son relationship should be about.

475
00:32:13.000 --> 00:32:15.359
<v Speaker 2>Now let's talk about Chamberlain for a second. You know,

476
00:32:16.039 --> 00:32:18.920
<v Speaker 2>he's he's made several All Star teams, much like his

477
00:32:19.440 --> 00:32:23.559
<v Speaker 2>big brother did before him, and now this year is

478
00:32:23.640 --> 00:32:26.240
<v Speaker 2>his first year as part of the high school program

479
00:32:26.240 --> 00:32:30.039
<v Speaker 2>at Sal Jones's parted the junior high team as seventh grader.

480
00:32:32.000 --> 00:32:35.039
<v Speaker 2>What do you see from from Chamberlain and how much

481
00:32:35.079 --> 00:32:36.880
<v Speaker 2>do you think he might have picked up from that

482
00:32:36.960 --> 00:32:37.480
<v Speaker 2>big brother?

483
00:32:38.599 --> 00:32:43.960
<v Speaker 1>A lot, very different personalities, both amazing and I can't

484
00:32:44.000 --> 00:32:49.400
<v Speaker 1>love the more I love him. But he is very athletic,

485
00:32:50.000 --> 00:32:54.279
<v Speaker 1>very driven, has a touch of perfectionism in him, and

486
00:32:54.319 --> 00:32:57.200
<v Speaker 1>all of those things can be incredibly powerful when you're

487
00:32:57.200 --> 00:33:00.759
<v Speaker 1>a baseball player. However, they can also be a weakness

488
00:33:01.000 --> 00:33:05.240
<v Speaker 1>if you don't learn to control those impulses. Baseball's a

489
00:33:05.279 --> 00:33:09.720
<v Speaker 1>game of failure. If you hit three balls out of ten,

490
00:33:09.799 --> 00:33:12.799
<v Speaker 1>you're an All Star, but you failed seven, at least

491
00:33:12.799 --> 00:33:16.079
<v Speaker 1>theoretically speaking, So he has to learn how to play

492
00:33:16.119 --> 00:33:19.240
<v Speaker 1>the game and not be afraid of failure, and he's

493
00:33:19.240 --> 00:33:21.680
<v Speaker 1>done that very successfully. Over the last few years. I

494
00:33:21.720 --> 00:33:25.079
<v Speaker 1>think he's won three state championships wolverif that he's learned

495
00:33:25.079 --> 00:33:28.039
<v Speaker 1>to play every position, including catcher on the field, he's

496
00:33:28.039 --> 00:33:31.480
<v Speaker 1>a good utility in fielder as well. So I like

497
00:33:31.559 --> 00:33:33.559
<v Speaker 1>the diversity of the game. I like the fact that

498
00:33:33.599 --> 00:33:37.920
<v Speaker 1>he can play any position, really strong arm, great ability

499
00:33:37.960 --> 00:33:41.720
<v Speaker 1>with the bats. So if he stays focused and stays happy,

500
00:33:42.200 --> 00:33:44.039
<v Speaker 1>he's going to be a great, great baseball player.

501
00:33:44.640 --> 00:33:47.559
<v Speaker 2>You know why. He may not have the power that

502
00:33:47.640 --> 00:33:50.079
<v Speaker 2>his older brother has. He might one day, but he.

503
00:33:50.039 --> 00:33:53.559
<v Speaker 1>May not yet. He hit his first home run before

504
00:33:54.319 --> 00:33:58.559
<v Speaker 1>age wise chrinologically speaking, he is first on run four games.

505
00:33:58.599 --> 00:34:02.880
<v Speaker 1>Didn't now just develops power as he ages. But then again,

506
00:34:02.920 --> 00:34:06.720
<v Speaker 1>he also developed size. Right now, he's sixty two hundred

507
00:34:06.720 --> 00:34:09.920
<v Speaker 1>and fifty pounds. That's a big man. So we've got

508
00:34:09.920 --> 00:34:12.599
<v Speaker 1>to see how Chamberain grows. He has good beat steed,

509
00:34:13.440 --> 00:34:17.199
<v Speaker 1>so if he grows to a reasonable weight, yeah, he'll

510
00:34:17.239 --> 00:34:19.320
<v Speaker 1>have tremendous power to you know.

511
00:34:19.840 --> 00:34:23.880
<v Speaker 2>One of the things that you know, I've always noticed

512
00:34:24.880 --> 00:34:28.280
<v Speaker 2>when you were serving in the Senate and your boys

513
00:34:28.320 --> 00:34:31.519
<v Speaker 2>were playing, you know, whether it was Cambridge or Chamberain,

514
00:34:31.599 --> 00:34:36.000
<v Speaker 2>didn't matter, they were playing a game. You had your wife,

515
00:34:36.119 --> 00:34:39.320
<v Speaker 2>Chill or me. Sometimes I can't put me in the ratcle,

516
00:34:39.360 --> 00:34:43.480
<v Speaker 2>but call you and tell you after every at bat,

517
00:34:43.599 --> 00:34:48.320
<v Speaker 2>after every inning pitch, what was going on, how they did.

518
00:34:48.760 --> 00:34:52.000
<v Speaker 1>Whether I was in Washington, New York, Chicago, or Jackson.

519
00:34:52.920 --> 00:34:56.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm paying attention to those baseball games, and I want

520
00:34:56.400 --> 00:34:58.679
<v Speaker 1>him to know I'm paying attention because I love him

521
00:34:58.679 --> 00:35:02.280
<v Speaker 1>that much. So yeah, call Jill and ask for the update.

522
00:35:02.440 --> 00:35:05.119
<v Speaker 1>And what's funny about Jill. She doesn't know, well even now,

523
00:35:05.440 --> 00:35:07.440
<v Speaker 1>all the rules of baseball, so you would have to

524
00:35:07.440 --> 00:35:10.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, she wasn't really sure what a double or

525
00:35:10.360 --> 00:35:11.880
<v Speaker 1>triple was, but she would at least tell me if

526
00:35:11.880 --> 00:35:14.320
<v Speaker 1>you make contact with the bat, right, So yeah, I

527
00:35:14.320 --> 00:35:17.559
<v Speaker 1>would always call and get reports because I was just

528
00:35:17.599 --> 00:35:19.840
<v Speaker 1>that interested. And if I was in a meeting, I

529
00:35:19.840 --> 00:35:22.039
<v Speaker 1>would pause the meeting and make the call. If I

530
00:35:22.119 --> 00:35:24.599
<v Speaker 1>was at dinner, I paused at dinner and make that call.

531
00:35:24.920 --> 00:35:27.320
<v Speaker 1>It was more important to know what he was doing,

532
00:35:27.480 --> 00:35:29.119
<v Speaker 1>to let him know I love him than it was

533
00:35:29.119 --> 00:35:29.840
<v Speaker 1>to be in that meeting.

534
00:35:30.840 --> 00:35:37.000
<v Speaker 2>How still practicing the law? How hard is it to

535
00:35:37.039 --> 00:35:41.119
<v Speaker 2>schedule everything around these games now? I mean, especially with

536
00:35:41.159 --> 00:35:43.840
<v Speaker 2>this being Cambridge's senior year. I know you don't want

537
00:35:43.840 --> 00:35:46.840
<v Speaker 2>to miss any, but is that feasible or you know,

538
00:35:46.960 --> 00:35:48.159
<v Speaker 2>is that going to be possible.

539
00:35:48.719 --> 00:35:52.079
<v Speaker 1>I don't anticipate missing any now. You never can tell, because,

540
00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:56.480
<v Speaker 1>as you know, the practice of law can be a

541
00:35:56.480 --> 00:36:00.440
<v Speaker 1>bit stressful and can be very unpredictable. Of a recent

542
00:36:00.519 --> 00:36:02.440
<v Speaker 1>judges don't seem to care a lot about my schedule.

543
00:36:03.320 --> 00:36:06.360
<v Speaker 1>So you know, if a judge, I could tell the judge,

544
00:36:06.360 --> 00:36:08.000
<v Speaker 1>I could try to tell him I've got a baseball

545
00:36:08.039 --> 00:36:10.679
<v Speaker 1>came Thursday night or Thursday afternoon, but he may not

546
00:36:10.760 --> 00:36:15.760
<v Speaker 1>agree that that's a very important thing when considering his doctor. Yeah,

547
00:36:16.119 --> 00:36:18.440
<v Speaker 1>so I hope not to miss any, but you never

548
00:36:18.480 --> 00:36:21.000
<v Speaker 1>know if I am not, if I'm not, if I'm

549
00:36:21.039 --> 00:36:23.400
<v Speaker 1>not here in state, I'll be calling and watching and

550
00:36:23.480 --> 00:36:26.440
<v Speaker 1>keeping it with it the best way I can, you know.

551
00:36:26.599 --> 00:36:28.559
<v Speaker 2>I mean, how how awesome would it be, you know,

552
00:36:28.760 --> 00:36:32.239
<v Speaker 2>especially if it happens sometimes during Chamberline's career, if they

553
00:36:32.440 --> 00:36:35.679
<v Speaker 2>you know, they start being able to broadcast these games online.

554
00:36:36.679 --> 00:36:40.800
<v Speaker 2>How much would that improve for you on those rare

555
00:36:40.800 --> 00:36:42.639
<v Speaker 2>instances where you can't get out of being.

556
00:36:42.559 --> 00:36:44.840
<v Speaker 1>I would never I would never miss a pitch. I'd

557
00:36:44.880 --> 00:36:47.320
<v Speaker 1>never miss a pitch. I might have a my dad

558
00:36:47.360 --> 00:36:49.079
<v Speaker 1>been sitting on my desk in front of the court

559
00:36:49.480 --> 00:36:52.320
<v Speaker 1>with a volume down, but I would never miss a pitch.

560
00:36:52.880 --> 00:36:55.760
<v Speaker 2>You know, what's the difference between You know, you talked

561
00:36:55.800 --> 00:36:59.400
<v Speaker 2>about working with Cambridge. He's always very receptive whatever you

562
00:36:59.480 --> 00:37:02.800
<v Speaker 2>tell them. What's different when you're working with Chamberlain because

563
00:37:02.800 --> 00:37:05.519
<v Speaker 2>you know they have different personalities and he might sometimes

564
00:37:05.559 --> 00:37:07.800
<v Speaker 2>be harder to work with.

565
00:37:08.320 --> 00:37:15.320
<v Speaker 1>He's a bit more stubborn, which is common for younger brothers.

566
00:37:15.440 --> 00:37:17.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's had to put up with his older

567
00:37:17.440 --> 00:37:20.079
<v Speaker 1>brother playing with him and picking on him and pushing

568
00:37:20.159 --> 00:37:21.880
<v Speaker 1>him around all these years, so he can be a

569
00:37:21.920 --> 00:37:25.800
<v Speaker 1>bit more stubborn. But he's still a fabulous kid. And

570
00:37:25.840 --> 00:37:29.559
<v Speaker 1>he does listen and he does his very best to

571
00:37:29.760 --> 00:37:34.280
<v Speaker 1>implement the suggestions that I give him, and he's very coachable.

572
00:37:34.480 --> 00:37:36.119
<v Speaker 1>He's very coachable, and like that about him. A lot

573
00:37:36.159 --> 00:37:40.000
<v Speaker 1>of times kids can be stubborn and not coachable. He's

574
00:37:40.039 --> 00:37:43.519
<v Speaker 1>just the opposite. He'll listen and he'll do exactly what

575
00:37:43.559 --> 00:37:47.199
<v Speaker 1>he's asked. So I'm very proud of her, you know, he.

576
00:37:48.880 --> 00:37:52.639
<v Speaker 2>How much how much do you think he's driven by

577
00:37:52.639 --> 00:37:58.360
<v Speaker 2>his brother's success to equal or surpass what his brother's not.

578
00:37:58.599 --> 00:38:00.920
<v Speaker 1>It's hard to say just yet, but I can tell

579
00:38:00.920 --> 00:38:04.360
<v Speaker 1>you his brother's success has been a motivating factor in

580
00:38:04.400 --> 00:38:08.320
<v Speaker 1>his love for the game. Is he competing with his

581
00:38:08.320 --> 00:38:12.079
<v Speaker 1>brother directly now? Not yet, because he's so much smaller

582
00:38:12.119 --> 00:38:15.480
<v Speaker 1>and so much younger. Will he be when he's a

583
00:38:15.519 --> 00:38:20.360
<v Speaker 1>sophomore in high school. Probably so, because he's gonna want

584
00:38:20.400 --> 00:38:22.960
<v Speaker 1>to at least live up to his brother's name. And

585
00:38:23.000 --> 00:38:27.679
<v Speaker 1>Cambridge has had a spectacular career South John's he made

586
00:38:27.719 --> 00:38:30.519
<v Speaker 1>five Ay'all state as a junior. He's doing well as

587
00:38:30.559 --> 00:38:34.159
<v Speaker 1>a senior. Cambridge Chamberlain sees those things, and I'm comfortable

588
00:38:34.159 --> 00:38:36.880
<v Speaker 1>he wants to emulate it, but he doesn't see himself

589
00:38:36.920 --> 00:38:38.840
<v Speaker 1>in competition with his brother yet. In fact, it's just

590
00:38:38.880 --> 00:38:41.679
<v Speaker 1>the opposite. He he cheers for his brother. He wants

591
00:38:41.679 --> 00:38:44.599
<v Speaker 1>his brother to do well, and he's very happy when

592
00:38:44.599 --> 00:38:45.920
<v Speaker 1>his brother as well.

593
00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:49.000
<v Speaker 2>I've noticed he comes running up like he'll be off

594
00:38:49.000 --> 00:38:52.000
<v Speaker 2>playing with friends. But whenever his brother comes up to

595
00:38:52.519 --> 00:38:55.320
<v Speaker 2>a bat, it's not just him that runs up, it's

596
00:38:55.440 --> 00:38:58.480
<v Speaker 2>him plus a whole host of little kids.

597
00:38:58.719 --> 00:39:01.079
<v Speaker 1>There's a whole bunch of kids. They come to the

598
00:39:01.119 --> 00:39:04.679
<v Speaker 1>games and they love to watch Cambridge bad. I told

599
00:39:04.719 --> 00:39:07.920
<v Speaker 1>Cambridge years ago that the most magical play, perhaps in

600
00:39:07.960 --> 00:39:10.800
<v Speaker 1>all the sports, is a home run. It just has

601
00:39:10.840 --> 00:39:14.639
<v Speaker 1>a there's a magnificent feeling about it, and they can

602
00:39:14.719 --> 00:39:17.199
<v Speaker 1>change the whole direction of the game with one swing.

603
00:39:17.800 --> 00:39:20.400
<v Speaker 1>And power hitters have a magic about them. And so

604
00:39:20.480 --> 00:39:22.960
<v Speaker 1>when a power hitter comes to the play, you realize

605
00:39:23.000 --> 00:39:26.039
<v Speaker 1>he may strike out, he may fly out, but it

606
00:39:26.159 --> 00:39:28.400
<v Speaker 1>may hit it four hundred and fifty feet. And so

607
00:39:28.440 --> 00:39:31.280
<v Speaker 1>there's something really magical about watching a power hitter step

608
00:39:31.360 --> 00:39:34.039
<v Speaker 1>up knowing that he has the ability to devastate a

609
00:39:34.079 --> 00:39:37.199
<v Speaker 1>fastball or a breaking ball, And so these kids all

610
00:39:37.280 --> 00:39:39.159
<v Speaker 1>rush up there to watch him, and I think they

611
00:39:39.239 --> 00:39:42.199
<v Speaker 1>realize that's part of it. It's just, you know, there's

612
00:39:42.239 --> 00:39:44.400
<v Speaker 1>a reason that Babe Ruth is still considered the greatest

613
00:39:44.400 --> 00:39:47.599
<v Speaker 1>baseball player that's ever played. He was a power hitter,

614
00:39:48.400 --> 00:39:52.280
<v Speaker 1>and Cambridge being a power hitter holds an extra better

615
00:39:52.360 --> 00:39:53.519
<v Speaker 1>magic for those kids to watch.

616
00:39:53.519 --> 00:39:57.400
<v Speaker 2>I suppose you know, next year he'll be at Meridium

617
00:39:57.400 --> 00:40:02.400
<v Speaker 2>Community College, not too far but not right down the

618
00:40:02.480 --> 00:40:06.840
<v Speaker 2>road from the house anymore. Uh. I'm assuming that you're

619
00:40:06.840 --> 00:40:10.159
<v Speaker 2>going to try to make as many games as you can.

620
00:40:10.280 --> 00:40:13.840
<v Speaker 2>Of course, uh, being even a junior college, you may

621
00:40:13.880 --> 00:40:16.280
<v Speaker 2>not be able to catch all the road games. But

622
00:40:16.360 --> 00:40:19.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm assuming your your goal is to see as many

623
00:40:19.400 --> 00:40:20.920
<v Speaker 2>of those games as she possibly can't.

624
00:40:21.440 --> 00:40:23.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna I'm gonna be there as long as God

625
00:40:23.960 --> 00:40:29.119
<v Speaker 1>allows me. I'm gonna be watching him play baseball, watching

626
00:40:29.199 --> 00:40:32.119
<v Speaker 1>him race his family, watching him play catch with his

627
00:40:32.239 --> 00:40:37.000
<v Speaker 1>kids every chance I get so, absolutely, I don't want

628
00:40:37.000 --> 00:40:37.639
<v Speaker 1>to miss a thing.

629
00:40:38.239 --> 00:40:43.079
<v Speaker 2>And what about on the incidents is when Chamberlain's got

630
00:40:43.079 --> 00:40:45.760
<v Speaker 2>a high school game and Cambridge has got a college game,

631
00:40:46.239 --> 00:40:47.119
<v Speaker 2>where do you go from there?

632
00:40:47.280 --> 00:40:48.880
<v Speaker 1>I may have to find a way to video one

633
00:40:48.880 --> 00:40:52.679
<v Speaker 1>of those. Each game would be dependent on the unique

634
00:40:52.679 --> 00:40:55.280
<v Speaker 1>circumstances of the game. I'll give you an example. If

635
00:40:55.320 --> 00:41:01.679
<v Speaker 1>Cambridge is playing his eleventh college game against a team

636
00:41:01.719 --> 00:41:04.760
<v Speaker 1>in North Mississippi, and Chamberlain is pitching for the first

637
00:41:04.760 --> 00:41:07.119
<v Speaker 1>time in a high school game, then naturally I'm going

638
00:41:07.159 --> 00:41:11.480
<v Speaker 1>to choose Chamberlain's game. But it does create some difficulties.

639
00:41:11.480 --> 00:41:14.880
<v Speaker 1>I'll probably end up having to hire somebody to FaceTime

640
00:41:15.679 --> 00:41:17.280
<v Speaker 1>one of the two games so I can sit and

641
00:41:17.360 --> 00:41:19.360
<v Speaker 1>keep up and watch both of them.

642
00:41:19.880 --> 00:41:23.199
<v Speaker 2>Chris, when you served in the Senate, you always chose

643
00:41:23.239 --> 00:41:26.239
<v Speaker 2>the same desk, the same seat, and I think You

644
00:41:26.320 --> 00:41:29.320
<v Speaker 2>explained it to me that you chose that seat because

645
00:41:29.519 --> 00:41:31.679
<v Speaker 2>it was the one that kind of stayed off camera

646
00:41:31.760 --> 00:41:34.440
<v Speaker 2>a little bit. You could kind of could sit there

647
00:41:34.440 --> 00:41:36.840
<v Speaker 2>and do your own thing. Whereas you know, if the

648
00:41:36.880 --> 00:41:40.519
<v Speaker 2>baseball games your seasfront and center right behind home played,

649
00:41:40.920 --> 00:41:44.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, you know, first off, you know which seat is.

650
00:41:45.039 --> 00:41:48.480
<v Speaker 1>Which seat do you prefer? Oh, watching baseball behind home

651
00:41:48.480 --> 00:41:50.920
<v Speaker 1>played all day every day and it's not even close.

652
00:41:51.840 --> 00:41:54.199
<v Speaker 1>To watch my son play is one of the great

653
00:41:54.239 --> 00:41:56.599
<v Speaker 1>pleasures of my life, both of them. To watch my

654
00:41:56.679 --> 00:41:59.000
<v Speaker 1>son's play is one of the great pleasures of my life.

655
00:41:59.039 --> 00:42:00.519
<v Speaker 1>So not even was called.

656
00:42:01.440 --> 00:42:05.880
<v Speaker 2>You know, Chris, as as Cambridge moves on and he's

657
00:42:05.880 --> 00:42:08.440
<v Speaker 2>going to be at college and you know, be harder

658
00:42:08.440 --> 00:42:13.679
<v Speaker 2>for you to have those daddy's son patent practices. You

659
00:42:13.719 --> 00:42:17.880
<v Speaker 2>know that you currently So how much are you going

660
00:42:17.960 --> 00:42:21.039
<v Speaker 2>to soak up every minute that he asked you to

661
00:42:21.079 --> 00:42:23.119
<v Speaker 2>step out on that field? And how much do you

662
00:42:23.159 --> 00:42:25.880
<v Speaker 2>look forward to repeating that with Chamberlain?

663
00:42:26.320 --> 00:42:30.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, every time he asked I went yesterday to throwing

664
00:42:30.119 --> 00:42:35.079
<v Speaker 1>that And we are already two games in the season

665
00:42:35.760 --> 00:42:40.079
<v Speaker 1>and you realize that his baseball career at South Joines

666
00:42:40.199 --> 00:42:44.039
<v Speaker 1>is going to end sooner than later, and I got

667
00:42:44.039 --> 00:42:47.440
<v Speaker 1>Tierry yesterday walking off the field with it because it's

668
00:42:47.519 --> 00:42:49.840
<v Speaker 1>one of the last times I'll be able to do

669
00:42:49.920 --> 00:42:55.360
<v Speaker 1>that there. So yeah, I'm very aware of it. I'm

670
00:42:55.440 --> 00:43:00.880
<v Speaker 1>very aware of the Yeah, how fight that all is

671
00:43:01.159 --> 00:43:04.320
<v Speaker 1>and how very special that all is. Because now we're

672
00:43:04.320 --> 00:43:06.320
<v Speaker 1>talking about just a handful of times that I have

673
00:43:06.519 --> 00:43:09.559
<v Speaker 1>left to do this with Hill while he's still as

674
00:43:09.559 --> 00:43:13.440
<v Speaker 1>the South sounds brave. So yeah, I'm going to embrace

675
00:43:13.480 --> 00:43:15.639
<v Speaker 1>every second he was the ones that made me cry.

676
00:43:16.559 --> 00:43:19.280
<v Speaker 2>But knowing that you have Chamberlaine coming behind him, and

677
00:43:19.320 --> 00:43:23.159
<v Speaker 2>that these moments, even though it won't be the same

678
00:43:23.199 --> 00:43:26.039
<v Speaker 2>because it's a different son, but they're going to repeat themselves.

679
00:43:26.079 --> 00:43:29.079
<v Speaker 1>We hope. That's the thing. These moments are not guaranteed.

680
00:43:29.679 --> 00:43:32.239
<v Speaker 1>You know, we're only here for a season, and our

681
00:43:32.320 --> 00:43:37.800
<v Speaker 1>children go through changes of heart and minds. We're not

682
00:43:37.920 --> 00:43:41.280
<v Speaker 1>promised that Chamberlain will play when I promise that he'll

683
00:43:41.360 --> 00:43:44.559
<v Speaker 1>love the game the way Cambridge did. So although I'm

684
00:43:44.559 --> 00:43:46.119
<v Speaker 1>looking forward to it and I hope he does, and

685
00:43:46.159 --> 00:43:48.639
<v Speaker 1>I hope I get the chance to relive these moments

686
00:43:48.639 --> 00:43:52.000
<v Speaker 1>with him, I'm also very much aware that those days

687
00:43:52.000 --> 00:43:52.679
<v Speaker 1>are promised.

688
00:43:53.480 --> 00:43:57.159
<v Speaker 2>Two more questions. This one probably won't go in the

689
00:43:57.199 --> 00:44:01.440
<v Speaker 2>story unless he does something crazy this week. Your boy's

690
00:44:01.440 --> 00:44:05.599
<v Speaker 2>sitting close to records, you know, he's you know, currently

691
00:44:05.719 --> 00:44:08.920
<v Speaker 2>three away from time the su Chann's record, four from

692
00:44:08.960 --> 00:44:14.360
<v Speaker 2>breaking it. What as a dad, what's that going to

693
00:44:14.440 --> 00:44:17.079
<v Speaker 2>mean to you? To see him set a record at

694
00:44:17.079 --> 00:44:17.519
<v Speaker 2>his school?

695
00:44:17.719 --> 00:44:21.679
<v Speaker 1>Pretty incredible? Again, we're not promised those days. Those days

696
00:44:21.719 --> 00:44:24.519
<v Speaker 1>we assume that he'll hit a number of home runs,

697
00:44:24.519 --> 00:44:26.400
<v Speaker 1>and only because he has a track record of hitting

698
00:44:26.440 --> 00:44:29.719
<v Speaker 1>home runs. He may get hurt, he may get flat,

699
00:44:29.760 --> 00:44:31.679
<v Speaker 1>he may go into a slump. A dozen things could

700
00:44:31.679 --> 00:44:34.039
<v Speaker 1>happen to prevent any of these things from coming to fruition.

701
00:44:34.800 --> 00:44:37.199
<v Speaker 1>And yet if they do, I think he would be

702
00:44:37.199 --> 00:44:40.920
<v Speaker 1>absolutely wonderful because all of a sudden now he would

703
00:44:40.920 --> 00:44:45.280
<v Speaker 1>be essentially passing a legend to become Amminians as a

704
00:44:45.360 --> 00:44:49.760
<v Speaker 1>legend of his own. And as hard as he's work,

705
00:44:49.760 --> 00:44:52.320
<v Speaker 1>he deserves that. But I'll tell you again, like I

706
00:44:52.360 --> 00:44:54.480
<v Speaker 1>told you earlier, I don't care if he ever hits

707
00:44:54.480 --> 00:44:57.920
<v Speaker 1>another baseball. He's a legend in my mind right now

708
00:44:57.960 --> 00:45:01.119
<v Speaker 1>because he's a good boy. And if he gives the

709
00:45:01.119 --> 00:45:03.400
<v Speaker 1>game up, we'll miss it. But as long as I

710
00:45:03.400 --> 00:45:06.000
<v Speaker 1>can see him, uh, stay in the same panth and

711
00:45:06.000 --> 00:45:08.239
<v Speaker 1>become a good man and a good daddy to his children.

712
00:45:08.599 --> 00:45:11.159
<v Speaker 1>That I'm going to be perfectly satisfied with every moment

713
00:45:11.159 --> 00:45:11.519
<v Speaker 1>I've had.

714
00:45:12.519 --> 00:45:14.079
<v Speaker 2>All Right, I'm gonna fast forward to the end of

715
00:45:14.079 --> 00:45:19.920
<v Speaker 2>the season. Yeah, South Jones playing for the state championship,

716
00:45:21.239 --> 00:45:24.079
<v Speaker 2>and there were we're going to where we want to

717
00:45:24.119 --> 00:45:28.320
<v Speaker 2>be and at the end of the game they win,

718
00:45:29.400 --> 00:45:33.239
<v Speaker 2>your son gets to hold up that trophy. Yeah, tell

719
00:45:33.239 --> 00:45:36.280
<v Speaker 2>me as a dad, what's what's that moment gonna feel.

720
00:45:36.079 --> 00:45:40.840
<v Speaker 1>Like I won't be able to see it because of

721
00:45:40.880 --> 00:45:52.119
<v Speaker 1>the tears and it's time to cost the championship. It's

722
00:45:52.159 --> 00:45:57.519
<v Speaker 1>just because he works so hard, so amazing. Need to

723
00:45:57.519 --> 00:46:02.199
<v Speaker 1>think about We'll have to wait to see absolutely.

724
00:46:03.320 --> 00:46:06.559
<v Speaker 2>Trying to think. Is is there anything you know you

725
00:46:06.599 --> 00:46:08.559
<v Speaker 2>want to just add for your voice?

726
00:46:09.119 --> 00:46:09.519
<v Speaker 3>You know.

727
00:46:12.280 --> 00:46:12.920
<v Speaker 2>You've said a lot.

728
00:46:13.119 --> 00:46:14.800
<v Speaker 1>I think it's once you get the story read and

729
00:46:14.840 --> 00:46:17.079
<v Speaker 1>I'll be able to go back and do a few things.

730
00:46:17.119 --> 00:46:19.400
<v Speaker 1>But just for purposes of listen to you, I'll just

731
00:46:19.440 --> 00:46:26.679
<v Speaker 1>say that I've been very blessed that it's hard to

732
00:46:26.760 --> 00:46:31.800
<v Speaker 1>express the love offer them. They're very different children, but

733
00:46:31.960 --> 00:46:36.639
<v Speaker 1>both equally amazing, and I just so hope that I

734
00:46:36.679 --> 00:46:40.679
<v Speaker 1>can help the opportunity to watch them grow and to

735
00:46:41.000 --> 00:46:43.480
<v Speaker 1>be successful or whatever they choose to do. More importantly,

736
00:46:44.079 --> 00:46:47.440
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to be happy. And as long as they're happy,

737
00:46:47.960 --> 00:46:48.599
<v Speaker 1>I'm happy.

738
00:46:49.280 --> 00:46:53.119
<v Speaker 2>And I'm going from the Senate floor to the ball field.

739
00:46:53.199 --> 00:46:56.079
<v Speaker 2>Just sounds like it suits you so much, and it

740
00:46:56.119 --> 00:46:59.239
<v Speaker 2>sounds like you're you're just a in a happier spot

741
00:46:59.320 --> 00:47:01.239
<v Speaker 2>being able to watch them play.

742
00:47:01.239 --> 00:47:07.440
<v Speaker 1>Very much so being around baseball fans, being around these kids,

743
00:47:08.280 --> 00:47:12.000
<v Speaker 1>it's just a far better environment with far better people,

744
00:47:13.039 --> 00:47:17.719
<v Speaker 1>People of integrity, of kindness, and compassion. And those are

745
00:47:17.719 --> 00:47:20.760
<v Speaker 1>the types of people I prefer to spend my time with,

746
00:47:22.320 --> 00:47:26.400
<v Speaker 1>not selfish and ego driven politicians.

747
00:47:27.000 --> 00:47:30.000
<v Speaker 2>And in this instance, you're referring to the other parents,

748
00:47:30.039 --> 00:47:32.199
<v Speaker 2>to the players, and the coaches.

749
00:47:31.760 --> 00:47:33.840
<v Speaker 1>All of them, all of them, I mean, you know

750
00:47:33.880 --> 00:47:36.880
<v Speaker 1>some You'll always have a few fans sometimes can get

751
00:47:36.920 --> 00:47:40.280
<v Speaker 1>rowdy on both sides, but for the most part, these

752
00:47:40.400 --> 00:47:42.360
<v Speaker 1>these people on around with the baseball games, they are

753
00:47:42.400 --> 00:47:44.559
<v Speaker 1>all really good people. It doesn't matter if they're on

754
00:47:44.599 --> 00:47:48.000
<v Speaker 1>the opposing team or opposing players. They're good folks and

755
00:47:48.039 --> 00:47:52.760
<v Speaker 1>they're not driven by the selfish and nasty attributes to

756
00:47:52.920 --> 00:47:56.280
<v Speaker 1>drive politicians. And so if I have a choice to

757
00:47:56.320 --> 00:48:01.320
<v Speaker 1>spend time around regular Mississippians as opposed to politics, I'm

758
00:48:01.320 --> 00:48:04.079
<v Speaker 1>going to spend time around Mississippians. If I haven't been

759
00:48:04.079 --> 00:48:06.039
<v Speaker 1>clear enough, Jack, you mean you may have realized this.

760
00:48:06.280 --> 00:48:09.480
<v Speaker 1>I'm just not a big fan of politicians. I've seen

761
00:48:09.559 --> 00:48:14.599
<v Speaker 1>enough of their disgusting behavior the last lifetime. So that's

762
00:48:14.599 --> 00:48:15.679
<v Speaker 1>all I've got to say about that.

763
00:48:16.119 --> 00:48:18.840
<v Speaker 2>I've got one more question and this that'll wrap it up.

764
00:48:19.239 --> 00:48:22.440
<v Speaker 2>You know, obviously, when you go to a home game,

765
00:48:22.480 --> 00:48:24.679
<v Speaker 2>you're recognized, you know, because you grew up here.

766
00:48:24.679 --> 00:48:25.480
<v Speaker 1>People know.

767
00:48:25.639 --> 00:48:28.400
<v Speaker 2>How often are you recognized on when you go on

768
00:48:28.480 --> 00:48:32.199
<v Speaker 2>the road to watch Cambridge play? And is it usually cordial.

769
00:48:31.840 --> 00:48:34.800
<v Speaker 1>All the games? That's why people might wonder why I

770
00:48:34.840 --> 00:48:38.000
<v Speaker 1>have this beard. It helps me to hide a little bit. Now.

771
00:48:38.000 --> 00:48:40.880
<v Speaker 1>There's never I've never been anywhere where somebody doesn't want

772
00:48:40.920 --> 00:48:44.440
<v Speaker 1>to tell politics. And that's fine, that's fine. I understand

773
00:48:44.480 --> 00:48:47.599
<v Speaker 1>that was part of what I did for sixteen years,

774
00:48:47.599 --> 00:48:50.920
<v Speaker 1>and I enjoyed talking politics. As to the question of

775
00:48:50.960 --> 00:48:55.000
<v Speaker 1>whether it's cordial or not, almost always, almost always not

776
00:48:55.079 --> 00:48:59.320
<v Speaker 1>In nine percent of the interactions are always positive. Of course,

777
00:48:59.320 --> 00:49:02.679
<v Speaker 1>there's always going to one or two and that's okay too,

778
00:49:03.159 --> 00:49:05.480
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, very cordial. But to answer your question, I

779
00:49:05.519 --> 00:49:08.000
<v Speaker 1>don't have not been anywhere any part of the state

780
00:49:08.039 --> 00:49:09.840
<v Speaker 1>where someone hasn't come up to be and talk to

781
00:49:09.880 --> 00:49:12.159
<v Speaker 1>you about politics. Perfect.

782
00:49:13.360 --> 00:49:20.840
<v Speaker 2>Thank you got an idea for how a good interview there,

783
00:49:20.880 --> 00:49:24.760
<v Speaker 2>and I enjoyed sitting down with Chris on that. But

784
00:49:24.800 --> 00:49:27.760
<v Speaker 2>what I want to play now before we close this

785
00:49:27.920 --> 00:49:30.400
<v Speaker 2>show up is, of course I did sit down with

786
00:49:30.400 --> 00:49:34.000
<v Speaker 2>his two sons and I asked them a question about

787
00:49:34.119 --> 00:49:37.280
<v Speaker 2>their dad's service, and I want to play that because

788
00:49:37.320 --> 00:49:40.960
<v Speaker 2>I think, again, I don't think Chris has heard this,

789
00:49:41.079 --> 00:49:44.920
<v Speaker 2>so I feel like it's something worth playing. Also, before

790
00:49:44.960 --> 00:49:47.280
<v Speaker 2>I play that, just to give you an update, since

791
00:49:47.320 --> 00:49:52.239
<v Speaker 2>i'd mentioned something to Sarah McDaniel about his boy being

792
00:49:52.480 --> 00:49:56.800
<v Speaker 2>three away from tying his school's home run record, he

793
00:49:57.000 --> 00:50:02.119
<v Speaker 2>has since tied that home run record, so he is

794
00:50:03.320 --> 00:50:07.320
<v Speaker 2>sitting tied for the most home runs at South Jones,

795
00:50:07.840 --> 00:50:11.360
<v Speaker 2>which is impressive. So he has tied the record, just

796
00:50:11.360 --> 00:50:15.519
<v Speaker 2>to update you on that question. Now this interview, the

797
00:50:15.559 --> 00:50:19.559
<v Speaker 2>audio is a little bit rougher, but again I'm only

798
00:50:19.599 --> 00:50:24.039
<v Speaker 2>going to play this segment because I think it's important

799
00:50:24.119 --> 00:50:28.840
<v Speaker 2>for the audience. See how Chris's boys viewed him as

800
00:50:29.239 --> 00:50:32.119
<v Speaker 2>a state senator. But also I think it's important for

801
00:50:32.199 --> 00:50:35.159
<v Speaker 2>Chris to hear this because I don't believe he's heard

802
00:50:35.519 --> 00:50:42.880
<v Speaker 2>this portion of the interview yet. But trying to think

803
00:50:42.920 --> 00:50:48.440
<v Speaker 2>of a tell me how proud you are of your dad,

804
00:50:48.559 --> 00:50:49.159
<v Speaker 2>Senate Park.

805
00:50:50.559 --> 00:50:54.400
<v Speaker 5>I am beyond proud of him because he did stuff

806
00:50:54.639 --> 00:50:57.000
<v Speaker 5>that no other senator has ever done in say, Mississippi,

807
00:50:57.519 --> 00:51:00.559
<v Speaker 5>and quite frankly, he's probably the best I said, they're

808
00:51:00.599 --> 00:51:06.079
<v Speaker 5>ever in Mississippi to ever be in the legislation. The

809
00:51:06.119 --> 00:51:12.320
<v Speaker 5>countless things that are incredible. He tries, He tries so hard,

810
00:51:12.360 --> 00:51:16.280
<v Speaker 5>and he's uh, he's stressed a lot on some of

811
00:51:16.320 --> 00:51:23.559
<v Speaker 5>the work. But uh, he is one of a kind

812
00:51:24.239 --> 00:51:28.199
<v Speaker 5>and he will not nobody really does what he does

813
00:51:28.760 --> 00:51:32.639
<v Speaker 5>because he's straightforward, simple, and he's gonna be You'll give

814
00:51:32.639 --> 00:51:35.840
<v Speaker 5>it to you straight. He's not gonna sugarcoated, and he's

815
00:51:35.880 --> 00:51:38.440
<v Speaker 5>not gonna take any bribes or nothing like that ever.

816
00:51:40.000 --> 00:51:43.119
<v Speaker 2>Move the phone closer to Chamberlain. Chamberlain, say what.

817
00:51:43.519 --> 00:51:44.039
<v Speaker 1>You tell me?

818
00:51:44.119 --> 00:51:48.559
<v Speaker 2>What what? What about your dad's work as a senator

819
00:51:48.760 --> 00:51:49.719
<v Speaker 2>makes you most proud?

820
00:51:50.519 --> 00:51:52.159
<v Speaker 3>It is the fact that he like doesn't give love

821
00:51:52.159 --> 00:51:56.360
<v Speaker 3>everyone like sometimes like when he is there and is

822
00:51:56.400 --> 00:52:00.840
<v Speaker 3>that all of his confidence kind of like he said,

823
00:52:00.960 --> 00:52:02.719
<v Speaker 3>solve as a confidence and what he's doing for the

824
00:52:02.800 --> 00:52:06.599
<v Speaker 3>same city.

825
00:52:06.519 --> 00:52:12.800
<v Speaker 2>Helped me. Guys kind words. You can tell a lot

826
00:52:13.559 --> 00:52:17.119
<v Speaker 2>about a man by the way that his children talk

827
00:52:17.199 --> 00:52:21.360
<v Speaker 2>about him. And there you hear both Cambridge and Chamberlain

828
00:52:21.519 --> 00:52:25.440
<v Speaker 2>speak very, very highly of their father, and they are

829
00:52:25.559 --> 00:52:30.360
<v Speaker 2>very proud of the work that he did in the

830
00:52:30.400 --> 00:52:35.400
<v Speaker 2>state legislature, much like their father is proud of the

831
00:52:35.440 --> 00:52:39.880
<v Speaker 2>work they've put forth on the baseball diamond. It is

832
00:52:39.920 --> 00:52:42.320
<v Speaker 2>an interesting interview and it was a lot of fun

833
00:52:42.519 --> 00:52:49.199
<v Speaker 2>to not just hear the political side that Chris was

834
00:52:50.039 --> 00:52:53.480
<v Speaker 2>wanting to talk about, but also his life now that

835
00:52:53.599 --> 00:52:56.519
<v Speaker 2>he's moved out of the State legislature. And I can

836
00:52:56.559 --> 00:53:00.000
<v Speaker 2>tell you that he is definitely happier as a result.

837
00:53:00.320 --> 00:53:03.960
<v Speaker 2>So you can hear in his voice and when you

838
00:53:04.039 --> 00:53:08.079
<v Speaker 2>see him and the smile on his face in those

839
00:53:08.119 --> 00:53:12.199
<v Speaker 2>baseball stands, even on nights where it doesn't go the

840
00:53:12.239 --> 00:53:17.679
<v Speaker 2>Soucha s. Braves way, or maybe Cambridge doesn't have as

841
00:53:17.760 --> 00:53:22.760
<v Speaker 2>strong performance as we're used to seeing, he's still happy

842
00:53:22.800 --> 00:53:25.599
<v Speaker 2>to be there and be able to witness what his

843
00:53:25.719 --> 00:53:32.199
<v Speaker 2>son's done. There's an amazing moment where Cambridge, who had

844
00:53:32.320 --> 00:53:35.920
<v Speaker 2>no clue he was even in striking distance of the

845
00:53:35.960 --> 00:53:41.639
<v Speaker 2>South Jones home run record, his coach let Crispy, the

846
00:53:41.679 --> 00:53:44.239
<v Speaker 2>one to tell him that he had tied the home

847
00:53:44.320 --> 00:53:48.320
<v Speaker 2>run record. And of course my friend and co worker

848
00:53:48.400 --> 00:53:51.800
<v Speaker 2>Kevin Lindsay was there covering the game in which he

849
00:53:51.880 --> 00:53:56.559
<v Speaker 2>tied the record, and he captured that moment on film.

850
00:53:56.880 --> 00:53:59.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna play the audio of it now. Of course

851
00:53:59.400 --> 00:54:01.719
<v Speaker 2>it's at a ball park, so it is going to

852
00:54:01.800 --> 00:54:04.280
<v Speaker 2>be a little rough, but it's still a cool moment.

853
00:54:07.440 --> 00:54:07.760
<v Speaker 3>I was like.

854
00:54:10.760 --> 00:54:18.840
<v Speaker 1>One, like, what was it?

855
00:54:19.800 --> 00:54:20.119
<v Speaker 2>You just.

856
00:54:26.480 --> 00:54:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Awesome? Congratulations, that's so cool.

857
00:54:32.039 --> 00:54:40.119
<v Speaker 2>It's freaking proud of you. So that who you heard

858
00:54:40.159 --> 00:54:43.039
<v Speaker 2>in that video? Of course you heard Chris telling him

859
00:54:43.079 --> 00:54:46.760
<v Speaker 2>he had tied the record. You also heard his head coach,

860
00:54:47.039 --> 00:54:50.159
<v Speaker 2>Mason Strickland in the background, and I think you hear

861
00:54:50.960 --> 00:54:55.000
<v Speaker 2>Chris's wife Jill as well. But it's a a cool moment.

862
00:54:55.440 --> 00:54:58.119
<v Speaker 2>The video is even cooler because of course you see

863
00:54:58.199 --> 00:55:02.000
<v Speaker 2>Chris running in hugg his dad after he tells him

864
00:55:02.039 --> 00:55:06.079
<v Speaker 2>Hugger his coach, hugg his mom just speaks volumes about

865
00:55:06.119 --> 00:55:09.920
<v Speaker 2>who Cambridge is as a kid, but those are the

866
00:55:09.960 --> 00:55:15.639
<v Speaker 2>type moments that before Chris might would have had to

867
00:55:15.679 --> 00:55:20.920
<v Speaker 2>have somebody relate to him later. Now he's actually able

868
00:55:20.960 --> 00:55:25.840
<v Speaker 2>to be in the stands and able to witness firsthand. Yes,

869
00:55:25.920 --> 00:55:29.599
<v Speaker 2>I know that this particular interview was a departure from

870
00:55:29.679 --> 00:55:33.679
<v Speaker 2>some of our political takes. Although Chris did hit on

871
00:55:33.800 --> 00:55:39.440
<v Speaker 2>politics and hit pretty harshly at some of the politicians

872
00:55:39.480 --> 00:55:44.800
<v Speaker 2>that he served with. At the same time, it's important

873
00:55:44.840 --> 00:55:47.079
<v Speaker 2>to see the happiness and the fact that he is,

874
00:55:48.400 --> 00:55:52.119
<v Speaker 2>I think in a much better environment as someone who

875
00:55:52.199 --> 00:55:58.199
<v Speaker 2>worked for the last thirteen years in a very toxic

876
00:55:59.199 --> 00:56:03.719
<v Speaker 2>working fire, one that was not healthy in the slightest

877
00:56:03.800 --> 00:56:11.159
<v Speaker 2>one that ultimately I wasn't happy in. Now I've moved

878
00:56:11.199 --> 00:56:14.920
<v Speaker 2>over and working at the newspaper. I ran into a

879
00:56:14.960 --> 00:56:17.280
<v Speaker 2>former co worker the other day and she told me

880
00:56:17.960 --> 00:56:22.400
<v Speaker 2>I looked happier, and that's because I am. I'm out

881
00:56:23.199 --> 00:56:26.559
<v Speaker 2>of that extremely toxic work environment that I used to

882
00:56:26.599 --> 00:56:31.119
<v Speaker 2>be in, and I'm in a place where, even though

883
00:56:31.159 --> 00:56:33.360
<v Speaker 2>I've been there a short time, we feel like family.

884
00:56:35.159 --> 00:56:41.320
<v Speaker 2>And that's remarkable, and Chris has found that on his own.

885
00:56:41.480 --> 00:56:47.679
<v Speaker 2>Chris has found that they're with those baseball parents, the

886
00:56:47.760 --> 00:56:50.599
<v Speaker 2>parents of the other kids on the team. They're not

887
00:56:50.800 --> 00:56:56.360
<v Speaker 2>just spectators. They're part of that family. And you can

888
00:56:56.400 --> 00:56:58.360
<v Speaker 2>see it in the way they all talk when one

889
00:56:58.360 --> 00:57:01.360
<v Speaker 2>of their kids does good, when they're trying to pick

890
00:57:01.400 --> 00:57:05.079
<v Speaker 2>up a kid that's struggling, and you can just see

891
00:57:05.119 --> 00:57:11.039
<v Speaker 2>that Chris seems happier. And I'm happy to share that

892
00:57:11.079 --> 00:57:13.440
<v Speaker 2>with my audience, share that with each and every single

893
00:57:13.440 --> 00:57:16.280
<v Speaker 2>one of you, so you can hear that interview. And

894
00:57:16.400 --> 00:57:19.599
<v Speaker 2>of course, you know you heard him almost tear up

895
00:57:19.639 --> 00:57:23.960
<v Speaker 2>whant to point it out, the possibility of Cambridge when

896
00:57:24.000 --> 00:57:30.320
<v Speaker 2>in a championship in his final high school season. Just

897
00:57:30.360 --> 00:57:32.960
<v Speaker 2>a fun, raw interview, and I'm happy that we got

898
00:57:33.000 --> 00:57:36.840
<v Speaker 2>to finally share that one with you. Hopefully Chris actually

899
00:57:36.920 --> 00:57:40.239
<v Speaker 2>listens this episode so we can hear the part where

900
00:57:40.280 --> 00:57:44.000
<v Speaker 2>his voice say kind words about him, because I can

901
00:57:44.079 --> 00:57:47.199
<v Speaker 2>tell you after sitting down with both of them and

902
00:57:47.239 --> 00:57:52.400
<v Speaker 2>doing a thirty minute long interview with them as well,

903
00:57:52.599 --> 00:57:56.719
<v Speaker 2>they are proud of his sacrifices and they do understand

904
00:57:57.880 --> 00:58:01.800
<v Speaker 2>that he was making those sacrifices for them, and I

905
00:58:01.840 --> 00:58:04.920
<v Speaker 2>think that if Chris could understand that, I think he

906
00:58:04.960 --> 00:58:10.360
<v Speaker 2>would be a little bit more at peace with having

907
00:58:10.400 --> 00:58:13.400
<v Speaker 2>to be away for as long as he was in

908
00:58:13.519 --> 00:58:18.239
<v Speaker 2>certain times. But at the same time, I also know

909
00:58:18.360 --> 00:58:21.440
<v Speaker 2>Chris and the regret over the time that you can't

910
00:58:21.480 --> 00:58:25.639
<v Speaker 2>get back. That's something he'll never let go of because

911
00:58:25.679 --> 00:58:29.400
<v Speaker 2>that's human nature, and that's part of who he is

912
00:58:29.440 --> 00:58:33.320
<v Speaker 2>and what makes him special in the first place. We're

913
00:58:33.360 --> 00:58:37.079
<v Speaker 2>gonna stop right here with the Right Side Radio Program

914
00:58:37.119 --> 00:58:41.760
<v Speaker 2>this week. We hope you guys have enjoyed this week's episode.

915
00:58:41.880 --> 00:58:44.000
<v Speaker 2>It's been a lot of fun putting this one together,

916
00:58:44.519 --> 00:58:48.039
<v Speaker 2>sharing with you this interview from Chris and letting you

917
00:58:48.079 --> 00:58:51.719
<v Speaker 2>hear it in its entirety, pulling that bit from the

918
00:58:51.800 --> 00:58:56.119
<v Speaker 2>Boys and letting you as well as Chris, hear that clip,

919
00:58:56.480 --> 00:59:01.079
<v Speaker 2>and of course so much more. Next week, hopefully things

920
00:59:01.079 --> 00:59:03.039
<v Speaker 2>will be a little bit back to normal. We'll get

921
00:59:03.079 --> 00:59:07.800
<v Speaker 2>back into covering the political news that this week we

922
00:59:07.800 --> 00:59:10.840
<v Speaker 2>weren't quite able to. But I think it worked out

923
00:59:10.880 --> 00:59:14.239
<v Speaker 2>for the best. Me having to host Chris McDaniels America

924
00:59:14.360 --> 00:59:17.800
<v Speaker 2>last week by myself, I think that only led to

925
00:59:19.280 --> 00:59:23.039
<v Speaker 2>us putting together a very special episode this week. So

926
00:59:23.559 --> 00:59:26.079
