Speaker 1: Hell the sam What's your Name?
Speaker 3: Had?
Speaker 2: The time that he is this Hanna statue, every started
Speaker 2: chick in his and egle will fly. Henni's gonna be here,
Speaker 2: win you him the real starting bell.
Speaker 1: And it'll be like the whole wid is raining down on.
Speaker 2: You broughtie courtesy her and why. Liberals be warned, your
Speaker 2: viewpoints will be subjected to straight scrutiny.
Speaker 1: You're listening to right Side Radio.
Speaker 4: Its like my eyes have been blown wide. We have
Speaker 4: come together here because the American people deserve better from
Speaker 4: those to whom they entrust, our nation's highest officers. We
Speaker 4: then united and are resolved to do something about it, which,
Speaker 4: whether we like it or not, spells you.
Speaker 1: You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. You tuned
Speaker 1: into right Side Radio.
Speaker 2: All right, guys, you have found that it is the
Speaker 2: right Side Radio program recording this episode on Friday, March
Speaker 2: the twenty first, and of course we apologized that we
Speaker 2: didn't release one yesterday because just a lot of stuff
Speaker 2: going on. As I've mentioned before, the delivery, you're out,
Speaker 2: and sometimes that takes toll on your fatigue level and
Speaker 2: that pulls you back and you're just not quite able
Speaker 2: to record the way that you want to. But yesterday
Speaker 2: I also got pulled into recording Chris McDaniels America by myself.
Speaker 2: Chris last second was not able to break free from work,
Speaker 2: and because of that, he he needed me to go
Speaker 2: ahead and host without him. We already had it scheduled,
Speaker 2: everything was set up to go, so it made more
Speaker 2: sense for me to just go ahead and host that
Speaker 2: show by myself. I know if I had called Jim Sielski,
Speaker 2: he to probably figured out a way to get there,
Speaker 2: but I just didn't want to. I didn't want to
Speaker 2: bother them. So what I did was I took some
Speaker 2: of the ideas that I had for this week's Right
Speaker 2: Side Radio program, utilized those as an episode for Chris
Speaker 2: McDaniel's America instead of recording it as a Right Side episode.
Speaker 2: I think it's a good episode. You can go find
Speaker 2: it on the Midnight Rides Facebook page and go find
Speaker 2: it on center Chris McDaniel facebook page. It's on the
Speaker 2: Midnight Rides YouTube channel, so there are multiple places you
Speaker 2: can go and find the Chris McDaniels America. I highly
Speaker 2: encourage you go do that, and while you're doing that,
Speaker 2: make sure you subscribe to it. Help our YouTube page
Speaker 2: grow for sure. That would be a huge bonus for
Speaker 2: us if you could do that. And of course, if
Speaker 2: you've not already liked and subscribe to the Right Side
Speaker 2: Radio program, please do so on your podcatcher of choice.
Speaker 2: Remember around iTunes, our Heart Radio, Spotify, Spreaker, Amazon Music,
Speaker 2: and so many more. Help us grow. This show has
Speaker 2: been growing at a great level. We have been added
Speaker 2: to spreakers Prime Network, so we are featured right there
Speaker 2: on Spreaker's main website if you click on their Prime network.
Speaker 2: We are one of the featured shows now, which is exciting.
Speaker 2: As we continue to grow, we continue to ask you
Speaker 2: guys to share us because that's how we're able to
Speaker 2: accomplish this and hopefully this will lead to a larger
Speaker 2: audience and the Right Side will continue to grow. The
Speaker 2: Midnight Ride will continue to grow, and we'll just keep
Speaker 2: seeing our conservative message continue to get spread. Now, there's
Speaker 2: a lot that's going on in the news, But of course,
Speaker 2: yesterday I spent Chris McDaniels America talking about the Trump
Speaker 2: executive order that is going to lead to the abolishment
Speaker 2: of the Department of Education. I gave my thoughts on
Speaker 2: why I like that, but I also gave you my
Speaker 2: skepticism on whether or not it'll actually take because my
Speaker 2: complete and total lack of faith of the Republicans in
Speaker 2: Congress to actually do anything to codify it. I definitely
Speaker 2: express that. So there's no there's no real point in
Speaker 2: me repeating myself and going back over that. I've been
Speaker 2: looking through the released JFK files and I see some
Speaker 2: things that are of interest, but it's there hadn't been
Speaker 2: that smoking gun that we were all hoping for when
Speaker 2: we heard that Trump was about to declassify all these files.
Speaker 2: We just hadn't found it yet. Not saying there's not
Speaker 2: something there, just saying we haven't found it yet. So
Speaker 2: going through some of these stories, I just decided I've
Speaker 2: already covered it this week, on whether it was in
Speaker 2: morning coffees or whether or not it was the guest
Speaker 2: hosting duty of Chris McDaniel's America. So what could I
Speaker 2: do well? About a month ago, I sat down and
Speaker 2: did an interview with Chris McDaniel for a profile piece
Speaker 2: that I was writing for The Laurel Leer Call. It
Speaker 2: was one in which I interviewed him, I interviewed his boys.
Speaker 2: I even got a couple of quotes from his wife, Jill,
Speaker 2: and it was basically a piece the way how it
Speaker 2: was crafted in the newspaper, a piece of how Chris
Speaker 2: has left the State Senate and is able to focus
Speaker 2: more on his children and their baseball careers. It's a
Speaker 2: piece that I was really proud of and really happy
Speaker 2: to get to right. But I did record the interview,
Speaker 2: and there's so much more, because, again, when you're writing
Speaker 2: a story, especially when you have a hook, you have
Speaker 2: a direction you want to go with the story, there's
Speaker 2: only so much that you can put into the written
Speaker 2: space that you're given. And believe me, I was given
Speaker 2: a term menace about of space because it was well
Speaker 2: over two thousand word feature story. But even then, there's
Speaker 2: so much because it's a thirty minute interview and I
Speaker 2: didn't I couldn't fit everything into the interview space. The
Speaker 2: way that I wanted to. So with Chris's permission, I
Speaker 2: asked him, can I play the unedited interview and let
Speaker 2: the listening audience hear a little bit more. I think
Speaker 2: in this interview.
Speaker 1: You'll hear.
Speaker 2: Chris talk very candidly about how he feels about the
Speaker 2: legislature in general, and it's total, it's totally ineptitude, and
Speaker 2: the fact that the Republicans who have long claimed to
Speaker 2: be the champions of conservative values are the very ones
Speaker 2: who have been slapping conservatives in the face the last
Speaker 2: several years in many ways. For those of you who
Speaker 2: aren't as familiar with the process as might be eye
Speaker 2: opening for those of us who feel like we do
Speaker 2: know the process, it's probably going to be validating in
Speaker 2: your opinion that the process is extremely broken. So, because
Speaker 2: Chris gave me that permission, now this will be a
Speaker 2: shorter show. So I'm going to take an earlier commercial
Speaker 2: break than usual, just because again we want to pay
Speaker 2: a couple of bills here or there and make sure
Speaker 2: that we get our sponsors happy. So I'm going to
Speaker 2: Paul's right here for a commercial break. I know this
Speaker 2: is way earlier in the show, but after this break,
Speaker 2: I'll introduce the interview segment. We'll come back and play
Speaker 2: that straight through with no interruptions, and let you hear
Speaker 2: this candid interview with Chris mcdanie and you'll get to
Speaker 2: hear his thoughts on his fellow politicians from back in
Speaker 2: the day and again I think it's very eye opening.
Speaker 2: So get ready for this, guys. This is the right
Speaker 2: Side Radio Program. I'm your host, Jack Fairchild's. We'll be
Speaker 2: right back the Midnight Ride, the home of the anti
Speaker 2: establishment movement. This network features great programming such as Chris
Speaker 2: McDaniel's America, God and Country, The right Side Radio Show,
Speaker 2: Paul Revere's Liberty Layer, and many more coming soon. So
Speaker 2: check out the Midnight Ride today. Head to the Midnight
Speaker 2: Ride dot com and check out all the amazing content.
Speaker 2: All right, guys, so welcome back here to the Right
Speaker 2: Side Radio Program again. I'm your host, Jack Fairchild's, and
Speaker 2: I'm going to go into this interview that I played
Speaker 2: with Chris McDaniel now again. I recorded this about a
Speaker 2: month ago for the intent for a newspaper article that
Speaker 2: has already run. Great feature. You can check it out
Speaker 2: at the Laurel Leader. Call and check out this feature
Speaker 2: that I did on Chris and as boys, But there
Speaker 2: was so much more out of this interview that I
Speaker 2: wasn't able to get to. As I said in the
Speaker 2: first segment, that I want to play this full uninterrupted interview.
Speaker 2: So let me start this for you right now. Well, Chris,
Speaker 2: first off, you know, you served in Missisi State Senate
Speaker 2: for sixteen years. Correct, that's correct.
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 2: First off, you know, I mean you fought many battles
Speaker 2: up there in the in the Senate, you know, and
Speaker 2: how much how hard was it during those sixteen years
Speaker 2: to have to be away from family during session?
Speaker 1: It was incredibly difficult. It's some of the things that
Speaker 1: I regret about the sixteen years. Of course, of course,
Speaker 1: I've always been involved in politics. I always involved in politics,
Speaker 1: probably two thousand and eight, and I've always fault for
Speaker 1: my convictions, the things that I believe would make this
Speaker 1: country better and to me in many ways, it hasn't stopped.
Speaker 1: I'm still involved in the fight. Almost every day. I'm
Speaker 1: being asked to speak, or being asked to write, or
Speaker 1: being asked to influence so and those things they haven't
Speaker 1: changed much. Being away though from my boys was probably
Speaker 1: not probably you know, being away from the boys was
Speaker 1: the most difficult part of that job. When you thank
Speaker 1: you on the fact that I'm a lawyer as well
Speaker 1: and licensed to practice the States, and I'm going a
Speaker 1: lot with a legal job as well, it just adds
Speaker 1: to that regret that I spent so much time away.
Speaker 1: Strangely enough, I was doing it for them. I hope
Speaker 1: one day they'll understand that. I hope one day they
Speaker 1: can see past the fact that in many ways I
Speaker 1: wasn't with them the way I should have been, or
Speaker 1: at least the way I believe I should have been.
Speaker 1: But I did the very best I could under very
Speaker 1: difficult circumstances. And but yeah, it was it was tough.
Speaker 1: It was really tough.
Speaker 2: You talked about you know, you have always been in politics,
Speaker 2: you know, you started out the Right Side radio show.
Speaker 1: Even before that. I mean, I've been involved in Republican
Speaker 1: politics since I was eighteen years old, No, probably before
Speaker 1: I was helping I was doing my best to get
Speaker 1: to kirk Ford I selected. So it was well prior.
Speaker 2: To the of course, now you're you're doing the Chris
Speaker 2: McDaniel's America on the Midnight Ride network, so and of
Speaker 2: course still actively fighting for or against certain pieces of legislation.
Speaker 2: So despite the fact you're not a member of the
Speaker 2: body currently, you're still an active participant.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, Once a senator, always a senator, And it
Speaker 1: doesn't change the influence that I still have. I have
Speaker 1: many many friends that still serve and we talk almost daily,
Speaker 1: so it's still an important point. Look at it this way,
Speaker 1: look at it this way. There are two ways to
Speaker 1: have influence in this world. One is you can have
Speaker 1: a very narrow feel of influence inside of capital building.
Speaker 1: I never wanted that influence. The influence I saw was
Speaker 1: the ability to influence legislation from outside the capital building,
Speaker 1: that is, going straight to the people and talking to
Speaker 1: the people. The reason I saw it that way is
Speaker 1: because I always saw the people as my bosses, and
Speaker 1: as an employee of theirs, I wanted to be sure
Speaker 1: that I was accountable to them. So I never tried
Speaker 1: to find the internal capital ladder with committees with as
Speaker 1: situations there. I spent my time outside of the capital
Speaker 1: in that sense, influencing the population, and that's what I'm
Speaker 1: still doing so to the extent. To that extent, nothing's
Speaker 1: really changed.
Speaker 2: Is that part of the reason why why you were serving.
Speaker 2: You were very very active, especially during the legislative session
Speaker 2: with Facebook lives updating different things that were happening. I
Speaker 2: mean you did it outside of session too, but deuring
Speaker 2: session it seemed to be like at least two three
Speaker 2: times a week we would see you on Facebook Lite.
Speaker 1: It was very important for me to remain accountable, to
Speaker 1: remain open to the people, and sometimes the people would disagree,
Speaker 1: and sometimes they would agree, but I still wanted them
Speaker 1: to know what my position was, and I wanted to
Speaker 1: do my best to represent their position. And you know,
Speaker 1: as you know, I think to this day, I probably
Speaker 1: have the largest social media followed any individual in the state,
Speaker 1: certainly the largest to any politician in the state. So
Speaker 1: being able to utilize that social media to reach people
Speaker 1: and to do my best to influence debates, that's something
Speaker 1: I did when I was in Jackson. It's something I
Speaker 1: did when I traveled. It's something I still do today,
Speaker 1: because again, the fight isn't so much what's going on
Speaker 1: inside the capital. The fight that's what's going on with
Speaker 1: people and how they view the capitol. My personal position
Speaker 1: is if we can wake people up, then we can
Speaker 1: save this country. But if we stay asleep, or distracted
Speaker 1: where we are now. Eventually we're going to lose the country.
Speaker 2: Is there anything you miss about serving.
Speaker 1: I miss nothing, absolutely nothing about it. And there's a
Speaker 1: reason for that. A the great majority of the politicians
Speaker 1: in this country are despicable, egoist, selfish, self centered. We'll
Speaker 1: stop my friend in the back for a dime. People
Speaker 1: that simply are despicable and can't be trusted. I don't
Speaker 1: miss being around those types of people. Now, I did
Speaker 1: not mean to infer that they're all that way. Are
Speaker 1: some good ones out there, but it is a distinct minority.
Speaker 1: There's almost no integrity in this business. There's almost no
Speaker 1: justice in this business. It's rumors and accusations and backstabbing.
Speaker 1: So do I miss that junk. Absolutely not. I'll give
Speaker 1: you some examples. I've I've practiced law all over the country,
Speaker 1: and I've represented big companies and I've represented individuals. The
Speaker 1: people that I meet with daily outside of politics are
Speaker 1: far and away better human beings. They're smarter, they're more capable,
Speaker 1: and that taught me a lot about human nature because
Speaker 1: something about the prefer the perverse mindset of a politician
Speaker 1: that seeks power and control. These are the very people
Speaker 1: that don't belong anywhere near an office. So I don't
Speaker 1: miss those people at all. I did not enjoy my
Speaker 1: time serving with many of those people.
Speaker 2: Just to be frank, was it always that way or
Speaker 2: did it develop well a little bit over time.
Speaker 1: It's it was always that way, but like any new politician,
Speaker 1: I had not quite seen behind the veil yet. Once
Speaker 1: you witness the corruption, once you're in those back rooms
Speaker 1: and you see these conversations taking the place, it opened
Speaker 1: your eyes and put it this way. Every year I
Speaker 1: was there, it wasn't so much that it worsened. It
Speaker 1: just became more apparent that it was occurring. But I'll
Speaker 1: tell you again, I want to be clear about this.
Speaker 1: There are very few good people serving in politics. And
Speaker 1: once you realize that, it's liberating. And I realized it
Speaker 1: pretty soon upon arriving. So yes, was it always like that,
Speaker 1: absolutely that I had a full realization of how corrupt
Speaker 1: it all was.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 2: Well, you know, one of the things that I think
Speaker 2: shruck may was, you know, after you were out, it
Speaker 2: seemed like there was a sense of relief, especially knowing
Speaker 2: that your oldest was going into i think his junior
Speaker 2: year of playing baseball. Your youngest this year is starting
Speaker 2: on the seventh grade team, so he's starting high school
Speaker 2: baseball himself. How awesome is it that you were outside
Speaker 2: of when you get pulled away from, you know, legal work.
Speaker 2: How awesome is it that you're going to be able
Speaker 2: to see almost every game of your son's senior year
Speaker 2: and probably a lot of your the start of your
Speaker 2: youngest son seventh grade year.
Speaker 1: It's incredibly important to me. I was blessed with a
Speaker 1: wonderful father and I lost him too young, and then
Speaker 1: I always wanted to emulate his influence my life with
Speaker 1: my own sons, and in many ways I've done that.
Speaker 1: Distinction is is that I miss way too much time,
Speaker 1: And frankly, I missed a lot of time fighting for people,
Speaker 1: fighting for their convictions, fighting for their viewpoints, and most
Speaker 1: of them didn't care one way or the other. Many
Speaker 1: folks can be as self interested in the self and
Speaker 1: as yeah as self interested as the politicians they claim
Speaker 1: they want to remove. And so the ability to fight
Speaker 1: for my belief system, to fight for the people that
Speaker 1: represented that elected me, that was a huge deal. But
Speaker 1: it's not nearly as big as being the good daddy.
Speaker 1: Look my sons are getting older. I am not going
Speaker 1: to handle this empty mess very well because I love
Speaker 1: them so much. I want them to be strong, good,
Speaker 1: independent men. But at the same time, I would lie
Speaker 1: if I told you I wanted them out of the house,
Speaker 1: right So the ability to be around this part of
Speaker 1: their lives, to hug them, to play with them, and
Speaker 1: then watch them mature from being boys and to young men.
Speaker 1: I don't want to miss another moment, not a second
Speaker 1: of that. And so it was always very conflicting in
Speaker 1: that I knew I had a duty to fight for
Speaker 1: the people, but the overwhelming duty should have always been
Speaker 1: and always will be being add daddy to those boys.
Speaker 2: Let's talk about Cambridge for a second. You know, he's
Speaker 2: he's already signed with Meridian Community College. Uh, he's put
Speaker 2: up some monster home run numbers for a high school kid.
Speaker 2: Uh you know, I mean, just just tell me about
Speaker 2: what you see about Cambridge on the baseball I mean,
Speaker 2: his his own ball coach just the other day in
Speaker 2: a preview story, referred to him as probably Mississippi's best hitter.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he is an incredible hitter. More importantly, he's an
Speaker 1: incredible human. Uh. You know, Baseball's a game and they'll
Speaker 1: be a they'll come up point a time in his
Speaker 1: life where he will have to give that game up.
Speaker 1: And so the reason I like baseball is that I
Speaker 1: believe it has helped him to become the man he is.
Speaker 1: The sacrifice, the rules, the regulations, the ability to learn
Speaker 1: to fail with dignity, these are all things that men
Speaker 1: have to learn, and he's learned it very well. But
Speaker 1: the most important thing is not his baseball career. The
Speaker 1: most important thing is that he grows up to be
Speaker 1: a good man, a good daddy to his children. And
Speaker 1: you know, I've been incredibly blessed with that young man
Speaker 1: because if you know him, you know he has the
Speaker 1: biggest heart imaginable. You know, he doesn't have a pretentious
Speaker 1: or unruly or stubborn bone in his body. He's just
Speaker 1: a very rare and wonderful human being. So, putting baseball aside,
Speaker 1: I don't care if he ever gets another hit. As
Speaker 1: long as he it's a good boy and becomes a
Speaker 1: good man, I'll be satisfied.
Speaker 2: You know, when he first started playing ball, it was
Speaker 2: on a T ball level and didn't seem as interested
Speaker 2: in it as he has become. Did you ever envision
Speaker 2: that baseball was going to become his love perhaps.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, I love baseball. I've taken him
Speaker 1: to Rigley Field and Fenway Park and other baseball parks
Speaker 1: for as long as he's been alive. I remember having
Speaker 1: him in a stroller at Rigley Field, so he always
Speaker 1: was around the game, and I think he understood the
Speaker 1: historical significance of the game and what it means to
Speaker 1: families and to American society. But watching him play tea
Speaker 1: ball and that significant lack of focus was a bit hilarious,
Speaker 1: you know, playing in the dirt, running the wrong direction,
Speaker 1: chasing every ball that was hit. Every kid does that,
Speaker 1: and that's what makes it so wonderful to watch. But
Speaker 1: I think he would become altily obsessed with the seagle
Speaker 1: sport of baseball, not necessarily, and I'm happy he did it. Yes,
Speaker 1: It's a wonderful sport filled with important lessons for life.
Speaker 1: And I believe that his coaches that he's had have
Speaker 1: helped create this spectacular young man that we see today,
Speaker 1: and I give them full credit for that as well. Chris.
Speaker 2: You know, he was named one of two team captains
Speaker 2: this year for his senior season. As a dad what's
Speaker 2: that mean to you to see your son be elected
Speaker 2: one of the two team captains.
Speaker 1: I liked it, it was impressive, but I also had
Speaker 1: to remind him of the responsibility that entels. He's not
Speaker 1: just a captain to the starters. He's not just a
Speaker 1: captain to the seniors. He's a captain to all those
Speaker 1: young players that look up to him. And he needs
Speaker 1: to be kind, irrespectful, and most importantly fair to all
Speaker 1: those players. And he has been. But it's a great
Speaker 1: honor for him, and I know he's excited about it.
Speaker 1: So yeah, if he's happy, I'm happy, you know.
Speaker 2: Talking with his coach the other day, he told me
Speaker 2: stories you know of you know Cambridge, you know, just
Speaker 2: being funny, always coming to get practice with a big
Speaker 2: smile on his face, talked about finding his TikTok videos.
Speaker 2: Is there any fun story you know about Cambridge you
Speaker 2: would like to share right now?
Speaker 1: I don't know. There's so many. When you take a
Speaker 1: personality like his, which is open to the world and
Speaker 1: its experiences, and yet it's so kind and unpretentious and
Speaker 1: disarming and even goofy at times, there are dozens of
Speaker 1: hilarious stories to tell about Cambridge, MCDA. I tell you what,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give out a thought over the next day
Speaker 1: or so. And I almost supplement that because there's got
Speaker 1: to be one that that will be more fitty than
Speaker 1: all the others. But they need us to say he's
Speaker 1: he makes me laugh every single day.
Speaker 2: Well, I got one that can relate to his pitching.
Speaker 2: Did you know he was going to have a great
Speaker 2: pitching arm when he tagged you in the eye with
Speaker 2: that book?
Speaker 1: There's true stories of aut pitching. That's really funny. I
Speaker 1: was laying there in bed reading, getting ready to go
Speaker 1: to bed, and like a little ninja, he sneaks in.
Speaker 1: And he's a little fello at this time, maybe two
Speaker 1: maybe three, and he has one of those small hardcover
Speaker 1: books and it's thin, and instead of handed me the
Speaker 1: book so I could read it to it, I guess
Speaker 1: he thought it would be cute to try to impel me,
Speaker 1: and so he crow hops the book with his strongest
Speaker 1: throw and he hit me right in the corner of
Speaker 1: the eye. And I had a couple of speeches to
Speaker 1: give that week, and I remember giving thosepeeches for the
Speaker 1: Black Eye, which was hilarious because I've never seen anybody
Speaker 1: walking down the street with a black eye that I
Speaker 1: didn't think was crazy, and so naturally the people I
Speaker 1: was giving the speech you probably thought I was crazy.
Speaker 1: The other one I thought was funny was this a
Speaker 1: few years ago. He was pitching a little bit here
Speaker 1: and there. And if you know him, this is such
Speaker 1: a camera story because he walks in, he goes, Daddy,
Speaker 1: I want to tell you something, he says. I think
Speaker 1: I'm probably one of the best pictures in the whole state.
Speaker 1: I just can't throw strikes. Just consider that for a moment. See,
Speaker 1: he had not quite understood that the whole point of
Speaker 1: pitching just to throw strikes. But that's who he is.
Speaker 1: And like I said, there are dozens of stories about
Speaker 1: Cambridge that would be wonderful too.
Speaker 2: Now you're daring a lot of times during weekend and
Speaker 2: sometimes in the afternoons, you'll leave the office and head
Speaker 2: out to a ball field and help him with the swing.
Speaker 2: You know, I mean, how first off, how impressive is
Speaker 2: it that he's willing to come to his dad and
Speaker 2: ask for help with that swing that you know he
Speaker 2: gets rave reviews on anyway, And how does that make
Speaker 2: you feel as a dad, know that he wants you
Speaker 2: to help when he feels like he's struggling.
Speaker 1: I love that That's what daddies were supposed to do.
Speaker 1: We're supposed to always be there to help when our
Speaker 1: children are struggling, whether it's a swing or whether it's life.
Speaker 1: Didies are here to provide safety and security, and I
Speaker 1: think that's an important responsibility that I have. So for
Speaker 1: him to ask the advice on it really means a
Speaker 1: lot to me. He knows I know the game. He
Speaker 1: knows I've played a lot of baseball, and he knows
Speaker 1: that when I see those slight adjustments that could be
Speaker 1: problematic he has with this swing, he knows we can
Speaker 1: make those small changes and getting right back to form.
Speaker 1: But yeah, it means a lot to me that he
Speaker 1: would ask. And I love doing and I love pitching
Speaker 1: to him. I love throwing with him. You know, we
Speaker 1: take for granted as fathers just playing catch. Yep. I
Speaker 1: wish I could play catch with my dad one more time.
Speaker 1: But the thing I remember about him is is that
Speaker 1: every time people play catch, big smile. He always had
Speaker 1: this really big smile on his face. And that's that's
Speaker 1: a really neat memory for me because it was spontaneous
Speaker 1: and it was real it well, nothing fake about it.
Speaker 1: So when he would throw with me, he would just smile,
Speaker 1: and that's what every father's son relationship should be about.
Speaker 2: Now let's talk about Chamberlain for a second. You know,
Speaker 2: he's he's made several All Star teams, much like his
Speaker 2: big brother did before him, and now this year is
Speaker 2: his first year as part of the high school program
Speaker 2: at Sal Jones's parted the junior high team as seventh grader.
Speaker 2: What do you see from from Chamberlain and how much
Speaker 2: do you think he might have picked up from that
Speaker 2: big brother?
Speaker 1: A lot, very different personalities, both amazing and I can't
Speaker 1: love the more I love him. But he is very athletic,
Speaker 1: very driven, has a touch of perfectionism in him, and
Speaker 1: all of those things can be incredibly powerful when you're
Speaker 1: a baseball player. However, they can also be a weakness
Speaker 1: if you don't learn to control those impulses. Baseball's a
Speaker 1: game of failure. If you hit three balls out of ten,
Speaker 1: you're an All Star, but you failed seven, at least
Speaker 1: theoretically speaking, So he has to learn how to play
Speaker 1: the game and not be afraid of failure, and he's
Speaker 1: done that very successfully. Over the last few years. I
Speaker 1: think he's won three state championships wolverif that he's learned
Speaker 1: to play every position, including catcher on the field, he's
Speaker 1: a good utility in fielder as well. So I like
Speaker 1: the diversity of the game. I like the fact that
Speaker 1: he can play any position, really strong arm, great ability
Speaker 1: with the bats. So if he stays focused and stays happy,
Speaker 1: he's going to be a great, great baseball player.
Speaker 2: You know why. He may not have the power that
Speaker 2: his older brother has. He might one day, but he.
Speaker 1: May not yet. He hit his first home run before
Speaker 1: age wise chrinologically speaking, he is first on run four games.
Speaker 1: Didn't now just develops power as he ages. But then again,
Speaker 1: he also developed size. Right now, he's sixty two hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty pounds. That's a big man. So we've got
Speaker 1: to see how Chamberain grows. He has good beat steed,
Speaker 1: so if he grows to a reasonable weight, yeah, he'll
Speaker 1: have tremendous power to you know.
Speaker 2: One of the things that you know, I've always noticed
Speaker 2: when you were serving in the Senate and your boys
Speaker 2: were playing, you know, whether it was Cambridge or Chamberain,
Speaker 2: didn't matter, they were playing a game. You had your wife,
Speaker 2: Chill or me. Sometimes I can't put me in the ratcle,
Speaker 2: but call you and tell you after every at bat,
Speaker 2: after every inning pitch, what was going on, how they did.
Speaker 1: Whether I was in Washington, New York, Chicago, or Jackson.
Speaker 1: I'm paying attention to those baseball games, and I want
Speaker 1: him to know I'm paying attention because I love him
Speaker 1: that much. So yeah, call Jill and ask for the update.
Speaker 1: And what's funny about Jill. She doesn't know, well even now,
Speaker 1: all the rules of baseball, so you would have to
Speaker 1: you know, she wasn't really sure what a double or
Speaker 1: triple was, but she would at least tell me if
Speaker 1: you make contact with the bat, right, So yeah, I
Speaker 1: would always call and get reports because I was just
Speaker 1: that interested. And if I was in a meeting, I
Speaker 1: would pause the meeting and make the call. If I
Speaker 1: was at dinner, I paused at dinner and make that call.
Speaker 1: It was more important to know what he was doing,
Speaker 1: to let him know I love him than it was
Speaker 1: to be in that meeting.
Speaker 2: How still practicing the law? How hard is it to
Speaker 2: schedule everything around these games now? I mean, especially with
Speaker 2: this being Cambridge's senior year. I know you don't want
Speaker 2: to miss any, but is that feasible or you know,
Speaker 2: is that going to be possible.
Speaker 1: I don't anticipate missing any now. You never can tell, because,
Speaker 1: as you know, the practice of law can be a
Speaker 1: bit stressful and can be very unpredictable. Of a recent
Speaker 1: judges don't seem to care a lot about my schedule.
Speaker 1: So you know, if a judge, I could tell the judge,
Speaker 1: I could try to tell him I've got a baseball
Speaker 1: came Thursday night or Thursday afternoon, but he may not
Speaker 1: agree that that's a very important thing when considering his doctor. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so I hope not to miss any, but you never
Speaker 1: know if I am not, if I'm not, if I'm
Speaker 1: not here in state, I'll be calling and watching and
Speaker 1: keeping it with it the best way I can, you know.
Speaker 2: I mean, how how awesome would it be, you know,
Speaker 2: especially if it happens sometimes during Chamberline's career, if they
Speaker 2: you know, they start being able to broadcast these games online.
Speaker 2: How much would that improve for you on those rare
Speaker 2: instances where you can't get out of being.
Speaker 1: I would never I would never miss a pitch. I'd
Speaker 1: never miss a pitch. I might have a my dad
Speaker 1: been sitting on my desk in front of the court
Speaker 1: with a volume down, but I would never miss a pitch.
Speaker 2: You know, what's the difference between You know, you talked
Speaker 2: about working with Cambridge. He's always very receptive whatever you
Speaker 2: tell them. What's different when you're working with Chamberlain because
Speaker 2: you know they have different personalities and he might sometimes
Speaker 2: be harder to work with.
Speaker 1: He's a bit more stubborn, which is common for younger brothers.
Speaker 1: You know, he's had to put up with his older
Speaker 1: brother playing with him and picking on him and pushing
Speaker 1: him around all these years, so he can be a
Speaker 1: bit more stubborn. But he's still a fabulous kid. And
Speaker 1: he does listen and he does his very best to
Speaker 1: implement the suggestions that I give him, and he's very coachable.
Speaker 1: He's very coachable, and like that about him. A lot
Speaker 1: of times kids can be stubborn and not coachable. He's
Speaker 1: just the opposite. He'll listen and he'll do exactly what
Speaker 1: he's asked. So I'm very proud of her, you know, he.
Speaker 2: How much how much do you think he's driven by
Speaker 2: his brother's success to equal or surpass what his brother's not.
Speaker 1: It's hard to say just yet, but I can tell
Speaker 1: you his brother's success has been a motivating factor in
Speaker 1: his love for the game. Is he competing with his
Speaker 1: brother directly now? Not yet, because he's so much smaller
Speaker 1: and so much younger. Will he be when he's a
Speaker 1: sophomore in high school. Probably so, because he's gonna want
Speaker 1: to at least live up to his brother's name. And
Speaker 1: Cambridge has had a spectacular career South John's he made
Speaker 1: five Ay'all state as a junior. He's doing well as
Speaker 1: a senior. Cambridge Chamberlain sees those things, and I'm comfortable
Speaker 1: he wants to emulate it, but he doesn't see himself
Speaker 1: in competition with his brother yet. In fact, it's just
Speaker 1: the opposite. He he cheers for his brother. He wants
Speaker 1: his brother to do well, and he's very happy when
Speaker 1: his brother as well.
Speaker 2: I've noticed he comes running up like he'll be off
Speaker 2: playing with friends. But whenever his brother comes up to
Speaker 2: a bat, it's not just him that runs up, it's
Speaker 2: him plus a whole host of little kids.
Speaker 1: There's a whole bunch of kids. They come to the
Speaker 1: games and they love to watch Cambridge bad. I told
Speaker 1: Cambridge years ago that the most magical play, perhaps in
Speaker 1: all the sports, is a home run. It just has
Speaker 1: a there's a magnificent feeling about it, and they can
Speaker 1: change the whole direction of the game with one swing.
Speaker 1: And power hitters have a magic about them. And so
Speaker 1: when a power hitter comes to the play, you realize
Speaker 1: he may strike out, he may fly out, but it
Speaker 1: may hit it four hundred and fifty feet. And so
Speaker 1: there's something really magical about watching a power hitter step
Speaker 1: up knowing that he has the ability to devastate a
Speaker 1: fastball or a breaking ball, And so these kids all
Speaker 1: rush up there to watch him, and I think they
Speaker 1: realize that's part of it. It's just, you know, there's
Speaker 1: a reason that Babe Ruth is still considered the greatest
Speaker 1: baseball player that's ever played. He was a power hitter,
Speaker 1: and Cambridge being a power hitter holds an extra better
Speaker 1: magic for those kids to watch.
Speaker 2: I suppose you know, next year he'll be at Meridium
Speaker 2: Community College, not too far but not right down the
Speaker 2: road from the house anymore. Uh. I'm assuming that you're
Speaker 2: going to try to make as many games as you can.
Speaker 2: Of course, uh, being even a junior college, you may
Speaker 2: not be able to catch all the road games. But
Speaker 2: I'm assuming your your goal is to see as many
Speaker 2: of those games as she possibly can't.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna be there as long as God
Speaker 1: allows me. I'm gonna be watching him play baseball, watching
Speaker 1: him race his family, watching him play catch with his
Speaker 1: kids every chance I get so, absolutely, I don't want
Speaker 1: to miss a thing.
Speaker 2: And what about on the incidents is when Chamberlain's got
Speaker 2: a high school game and Cambridge has got a college game,
Speaker 2: where do you go from there?
Speaker 1: I may have to find a way to video one
Speaker 1: of those. Each game would be dependent on the unique
Speaker 1: circumstances of the game. I'll give you an example. If
Speaker 1: Cambridge is playing his eleventh college game against a team
Speaker 1: in North Mississippi, and Chamberlain is pitching for the first
Speaker 1: time in a high school game, then naturally I'm going
Speaker 1: to choose Chamberlain's game. But it does create some difficulties.
Speaker 1: I'll probably end up having to hire somebody to FaceTime
Speaker 1: one of the two games so I can sit and
Speaker 1: keep up and watch both of them.
Speaker 2: Chris, when you served in the Senate, you always chose
Speaker 2: the same desk, the same seat, and I think You
Speaker 2: explained it to me that you chose that seat because
Speaker 2: it was the one that kind of stayed off camera
Speaker 2: a little bit. You could kind of could sit there
Speaker 2: and do your own thing. Whereas you know, if the
Speaker 2: baseball games your seasfront and center right behind home played,
Speaker 2: you know, you know, first off, you know which seat is.
Speaker 1: Which seat do you prefer? Oh, watching baseball behind home
Speaker 1: played all day every day and it's not even close.
Speaker 1: To watch my son play is one of the great
Speaker 1: pleasures of my life, both of them. To watch my
Speaker 1: son's play is one of the great pleasures of my life.
Speaker 1: So not even was called.
Speaker 2: You know, Chris, as as Cambridge moves on and he's
Speaker 2: going to be at college and you know, be harder
Speaker 2: for you to have those daddy's son patent practices. You
Speaker 2: know that you currently So how much are you going
Speaker 2: to soak up every minute that he asked you to
Speaker 2: step out on that field? And how much do you
Speaker 2: look forward to repeating that with Chamberlain?
Speaker 1: Yeah, every time he asked I went yesterday to throwing
Speaker 1: that And we are already two games in the season
Speaker 1: and you realize that his baseball career at South Joines
Speaker 1: is going to end sooner than later, and I got
Speaker 1: Tierry yesterday walking off the field with it because it's
Speaker 1: one of the last times I'll be able to do
Speaker 1: that there. So yeah, I'm very aware of it. I'm
Speaker 1: very aware of the Yeah, how fight that all is
Speaker 1: and how very special that all is. Because now we're
Speaker 1: talking about just a handful of times that I have
Speaker 1: left to do this with Hill while he's still as
Speaker 1: the South sounds brave. So yeah, I'm going to embrace
Speaker 1: every second he was the ones that made me cry.
Speaker 2: But knowing that you have Chamberlaine coming behind him, and
Speaker 2: that these moments, even though it won't be the same
Speaker 2: because it's a different son, but they're going to repeat themselves.
Speaker 1: We hope. That's the thing. These moments are not guaranteed.
Speaker 1: You know, we're only here for a season, and our
Speaker 1: children go through changes of heart and minds. We're not
Speaker 1: promised that Chamberlain will play when I promise that he'll
Speaker 1: love the game the way Cambridge did. So although I'm
Speaker 1: looking forward to it and I hope he does, and
Speaker 1: I hope I get the chance to relive these moments
Speaker 1: with him, I'm also very much aware that those days
Speaker 1: are promised.
Speaker 2: Two more questions. This one probably won't go in the
Speaker 2: story unless he does something crazy this week. Your boy's
Speaker 2: sitting close to records, you know, he's you know, currently
Speaker 2: three away from time the su Chann's record, four from
Speaker 2: breaking it. What as a dad, what's that going to
Speaker 2: mean to you? To see him set a record at
Speaker 2: his school?
Speaker 1: Pretty incredible? Again, we're not promised those days. Those days
Speaker 1: we assume that he'll hit a number of home runs,
Speaker 1: and only because he has a track record of hitting
Speaker 1: home runs. He may get hurt, he may get flat,
Speaker 1: he may go into a slump. A dozen things could
Speaker 1: happen to prevent any of these things from coming to fruition.
Speaker 1: And yet if they do, I think he would be
Speaker 1: absolutely wonderful because all of a sudden now he would
Speaker 1: be essentially passing a legend to become Amminians as a
Speaker 1: legend of his own. And as hard as he's work,
Speaker 1: he deserves that. But I'll tell you again, like I
Speaker 1: told you earlier, I don't care if he ever hits
Speaker 1: another baseball. He's a legend in my mind right now
Speaker 1: because he's a good boy. And if he gives the
Speaker 1: game up, we'll miss it. But as long as I
Speaker 1: can see him, uh, stay in the same panth and
Speaker 1: become a good man and a good daddy to his children.
Speaker 1: That I'm going to be perfectly satisfied with every moment
Speaker 1: I've had.
Speaker 2: All Right, I'm gonna fast forward to the end of
Speaker 2: the season. Yeah, South Jones playing for the state championship,
Speaker 2: and there were we're going to where we want to
Speaker 2: be and at the end of the game they win,
Speaker 2: your son gets to hold up that trophy. Yeah, tell
Speaker 2: me as a dad, what's what's that moment gonna feel.
Speaker 1: Like I won't be able to see it because of
Speaker 1: the tears and it's time to cost the championship. It's
Speaker 1: just because he works so hard, so amazing. Need to
Speaker 1: think about We'll have to wait to see absolutely.
Speaker 2: Trying to think. Is is there anything you know you
Speaker 2: want to just add for your voice?
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: You've said a lot.
Speaker 1: I think it's once you get the story read and
Speaker 1: I'll be able to go back and do a few things.
Speaker 1: But just for purposes of listen to you, I'll just
Speaker 1: say that I've been very blessed that it's hard to
Speaker 1: express the love offer them. They're very different children, but
Speaker 1: both equally amazing, and I just so hope that I
Speaker 1: can help the opportunity to watch them grow and to
Speaker 1: be successful or whatever they choose to do. More importantly,
Speaker 1: I wanted to be happy. And as long as they're happy,
Speaker 1: I'm happy.
Speaker 2: And I'm going from the Senate floor to the ball field.
Speaker 2: Just sounds like it suits you so much, and it
Speaker 2: sounds like you're you're just a in a happier spot
Speaker 2: being able to watch them play.
Speaker 1: Very much so being around baseball fans, being around these kids,
Speaker 1: it's just a far better environment with far better people,
Speaker 1: People of integrity, of kindness, and compassion. And those are
Speaker 1: the types of people I prefer to spend my time with,
Speaker 1: not selfish and ego driven politicians.
Speaker 2: And in this instance, you're referring to the other parents,
Speaker 2: to the players, and the coaches.
Speaker 1: All of them, all of them, I mean, you know
Speaker 1: some You'll always have a few fans sometimes can get
Speaker 1: rowdy on both sides, but for the most part, these
Speaker 1: these people on around with the baseball games, they are
Speaker 1: all really good people. It doesn't matter if they're on
Speaker 1: the opposing team or opposing players. They're good folks and
Speaker 1: they're not driven by the selfish and nasty attributes to
Speaker 1: drive politicians. And so if I have a choice to
Speaker 1: spend time around regular Mississippians as opposed to politics, I'm
Speaker 1: going to spend time around Mississippians. If I haven't been
Speaker 1: clear enough, Jack, you mean you may have realized this.
Speaker 1: I'm just not a big fan of politicians. I've seen
Speaker 1: enough of their disgusting behavior the last lifetime. So that's
Speaker 1: all I've got to say about that.
Speaker 2: I've got one more question and this that'll wrap it up.
Speaker 2: You know, obviously, when you go to a home game,
Speaker 2: you're recognized, you know, because you grew up here.
Speaker 1: People know.
Speaker 2: How often are you recognized on when you go on
Speaker 2: the road to watch Cambridge play? And is it usually cordial.
Speaker 1: All the games? That's why people might wonder why I
Speaker 1: have this beard. It helps me to hide a little bit. Now.
Speaker 1: There's never I've never been anywhere where somebody doesn't want
Speaker 1: to tell politics. And that's fine, that's fine. I understand
Speaker 1: that was part of what I did for sixteen years,
Speaker 1: and I enjoyed talking politics. As to the question of
Speaker 1: whether it's cordial or not, almost always, almost always not
Speaker 1: In nine percent of the interactions are always positive. Of course,
Speaker 1: there's always going to one or two and that's okay too,
Speaker 1: but yeah, very cordial. But to answer your question, I
Speaker 1: don't have not been anywhere any part of the state
Speaker 1: where someone hasn't come up to be and talk to
Speaker 1: you about politics. Perfect.
Speaker 2: Thank you got an idea for how a good interview there,
Speaker 2: and I enjoyed sitting down with Chris on that. But
Speaker 2: what I want to play now before we close this
Speaker 2: show up is, of course I did sit down with
Speaker 2: his two sons and I asked them a question about
Speaker 2: their dad's service, and I want to play that because
Speaker 2: I think, again, I don't think Chris has heard this,
Speaker 2: so I feel like it's something worth playing. Also, before
Speaker 2: I play that, just to give you an update, since
Speaker 2: i'd mentioned something to Sarah McDaniel about his boy being
Speaker 2: three away from tying his school's home run record, he
Speaker 2: has since tied that home run record, so he is
Speaker 2: sitting tied for the most home runs at South Jones,
Speaker 2: which is impressive. So he has tied the record, just
Speaker 2: to update you on that question. Now this interview, the
Speaker 2: audio is a little bit rougher, but again I'm only
Speaker 2: going to play this segment because I think it's important
Speaker 2: for the audience. See how Chris's boys viewed him as
Speaker 2: a state senator. But also I think it's important for
Speaker 2: Chris to hear this because I don't believe he's heard
Speaker 2: this portion of the interview yet. But trying to think
Speaker 2: of a tell me how proud you are of your dad,
Speaker 2: Senate Park.
Speaker 5: I am beyond proud of him because he did stuff
Speaker 5: that no other senator has ever done in say, Mississippi,
Speaker 5: and quite frankly, he's probably the best I said, they're
Speaker 5: ever in Mississippi to ever be in the legislation. The
Speaker 5: countless things that are incredible. He tries, He tries so hard,
Speaker 5: and he's uh, he's stressed a lot on some of
Speaker 5: the work. But uh, he is one of a kind
Speaker 5: and he will not nobody really does what he does
Speaker 5: because he's straightforward, simple, and he's gonna be You'll give
Speaker 5: it to you straight. He's not gonna sugarcoated, and he's
Speaker 5: not gonna take any bribes or nothing like that ever.
Speaker 2: Move the phone closer to Chamberlain. Chamberlain, say what.
Speaker 1: You tell me?
Speaker 2: What what? What about your dad's work as a senator
Speaker 2: makes you most proud?
Speaker 3: It is the fact that he like doesn't give love
Speaker 3: everyone like sometimes like when he is there and is
Speaker 3: that all of his confidence kind of like he said,
Speaker 3: solve as a confidence and what he's doing for the
Speaker 3: same city.
Speaker 2: Helped me. Guys kind words. You can tell a lot
Speaker 2: about a man by the way that his children talk
Speaker 2: about him. And there you hear both Cambridge and Chamberlain
Speaker 2: speak very, very highly of their father, and they are
Speaker 2: very proud of the work that he did in the
Speaker 2: state legislature, much like their father is proud of the
Speaker 2: work they've put forth on the baseball diamond. It is
Speaker 2: an interesting interview and it was a lot of fun
Speaker 2: to not just hear the political side that Chris was
Speaker 2: wanting to talk about, but also his life now that
Speaker 2: he's moved out of the State legislature. And I can
Speaker 2: tell you that he is definitely happier as a result.
Speaker 2: So you can hear in his voice and when you
Speaker 2: see him and the smile on his face in those
Speaker 2: baseball stands, even on nights where it doesn't go the
Speaker 2: Soucha s. Braves way, or maybe Cambridge doesn't have as
Speaker 2: strong performance as we're used to seeing, he's still happy
Speaker 2: to be there and be able to witness what his
Speaker 2: son's done. There's an amazing moment where Cambridge, who had
Speaker 2: no clue he was even in striking distance of the
Speaker 2: South Jones home run record, his coach let Crispy, the
Speaker 2: one to tell him that he had tied the home
Speaker 2: run record. And of course my friend and co worker
Speaker 2: Kevin Lindsay was there covering the game in which he
Speaker 2: tied the record, and he captured that moment on film.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna play the audio of it now. Of course
Speaker 2: it's at a ball park, so it is going to
Speaker 2: be a little rough, but it's still a cool moment.
Speaker 3: I was like.
Speaker 1: One, like, what was it?
Speaker 2: You just.
Speaker 1: Awesome? Congratulations, that's so cool.
Speaker 2: It's freaking proud of you. So that who you heard
Speaker 2: in that video? Of course you heard Chris telling him
Speaker 2: he had tied the record. You also heard his head coach,
Speaker 2: Mason Strickland in the background, and I think you hear
Speaker 2: Chris's wife Jill as well. But it's a a cool moment.
Speaker 2: The video is even cooler because of course you see
Speaker 2: Chris running in hugg his dad after he tells him
Speaker 2: Hugger his coach, hugg his mom just speaks volumes about
Speaker 2: who Cambridge is as a kid, but those are the
Speaker 2: type moments that before Chris might would have had to
Speaker 2: have somebody relate to him later. Now he's actually able
Speaker 2: to be in the stands and able to witness firsthand. Yes,
Speaker 2: I know that this particular interview was a departure from
Speaker 2: some of our political takes. Although Chris did hit on
Speaker 2: politics and hit pretty harshly at some of the politicians
Speaker 2: that he served with. At the same time, it's important
Speaker 2: to see the happiness and the fact that he is,
Speaker 2: I think in a much better environment as someone who
Speaker 2: worked for the last thirteen years in a very toxic
Speaker 2: working fire, one that was not healthy in the slightest
Speaker 2: one that ultimately I wasn't happy in. Now I've moved
Speaker 2: over and working at the newspaper. I ran into a
Speaker 2: former co worker the other day and she told me
Speaker 2: I looked happier, and that's because I am. I'm out
Speaker 2: of that extremely toxic work environment that I used to
Speaker 2: be in, and I'm in a place where, even though
Speaker 2: I've been there a short time, we feel like family.
Speaker 2: And that's remarkable, and Chris has found that on his own.
Speaker 2: Chris has found that they're with those baseball parents, the
Speaker 2: parents of the other kids on the team. They're not
Speaker 2: just spectators. They're part of that family. And you can
Speaker 2: see it in the way they all talk when one
Speaker 2: of their kids does good, when they're trying to pick
Speaker 2: up a kid that's struggling, and you can just see
Speaker 2: that Chris seems happier. And I'm happy to share that
Speaker 2: with my audience, share that with each and every single
Speaker 2: one of you, so you can hear that interview. And
Speaker 2: of course, you know you heard him almost tear up
Speaker 2: whant to point it out, the possibility of Cambridge when
Speaker 2: in a championship in his final high school season. Just
Speaker 2: a fun, raw interview, and I'm happy that we got
Speaker 2: to finally share that one with you. Hopefully Chris actually
Speaker 2: listens this episode so we can hear the part where
Speaker 2: his voice say kind words about him, because I can
Speaker 2: tell you after sitting down with both of them and
Speaker 2: doing a thirty minute long interview with them as well,
Speaker 2: they are proud of his sacrifices and they do understand
Speaker 2: that he was making those sacrifices for them, and I
Speaker 2: think that if Chris could understand that, I think he
Speaker 2: would be a little bit more at peace with having
Speaker 2: to be away for as long as he was in
Speaker 2: certain times. But at the same time, I also know
Speaker 2: Chris and the regret over the time that you can't
Speaker 2: get back. That's something he'll never let go of because
Speaker 2: that's human nature, and that's part of who he is
Speaker 2: and what makes him special in the first place. We're
Speaker 2: gonna stop right here with the Right Side Radio Program
Speaker 2: this week. We hope you guys have enjoyed this week's episode.
Speaker 2: It's been a lot of fun putting this one together,
Speaker 2: sharing with you this interview from Chris and letting you
Speaker 2: hear it in its entirety, pulling that bit from the
Speaker 2: Boys and letting you as well as Chris, hear that clip,
Speaker 2: and of course so much more. Next week, hopefully things
Speaker 2: will be a little bit back to normal. We'll get
Speaker 2: back into covering the political news that this week we
Speaker 2: weren't quite able to. But I think it worked out
Speaker 2: for the best. Me having to host Chris McDaniels America
Speaker 2: last week by myself, I think that only led to
Speaker 2: us putting together a very special episode this week. So
Speaker 2: I hope you guys enjoyed it. I hope you guys
