Every morning is a new opportunity to take in the news

the day and the challenges of life.

You try to make sense of it all.

Right now, we've got a show that tackles the topics

and asks what you think.

So get ready to start your day with a bold look at history

as it happens.

Let's learn, live, and sometimes laugh together.

It's the Mark Davis show.

On 660-A-I-D-N.

Here we go.

Good morning, 9 o'clock hour for this Wednesday, the 25th day

of March, 2026.

And as a few of our 9 o'clock hours have been,

and as I believe a couple more may yet be,

an opportunity to meet some folks.

In some cases, welcome some folks back.

In some cases, welcome some folks in who I've known for a long

time, but just haven't seen for a while.

In the food for the poor, contribute at a certain level.

You get to hang out the 9 o'clock hour

and co-host the show, level of giving.

And in this particular hour, it's just such a joy.

We've just been talking about stuff.

I can't wait to bust it out for public consumption.

The wonderful Lisa Lubey Ryan, a fixture in Dallas,

in culture, and design, and entrepreneurship,

in politics.

She ran for state legislature, won a primary.

There's more to the story.

We'll talk about that from 2018.

But she is here.

And it's just so wonderful to see you again.

How you doing, pal?

I'm great, Mark.

Thank you so much.

Such a joy to see you and be here and join you this morning.

So we're going to go back to 2018 when you ran for state

legislature.

But let's just talk about right here right now.

What are you still doing?

You've been a designer and entrepreneur,

just done all kinds of things.

But what is life like right now?

And you said that there was an interesting story

as to what was it that lit a spark in you and said,

hey, let's pony up and do the co-hosting thing for food

for the poor.

What made you do that?

I mean, I'll hang out with you for free.

That's I would love that.

And we have many hours before for the years of politics.

So let's go to your last question.

So the truth is, after the last election,

when Biden beat Trump, we turned off all TVs and all radios.

We did not listen to a radio in our car.

Our turn our TV back on the news.

We watch college sports.

We don't do NFL pro sports anymore since they went woke on us.

So we watch very little TV.

Haven't listened to the radio.

I got tired of listening to Russia, Russia, Russia.

I just didn't want people's opinions anymore.

So turned it off.

So about three weeks ago, I'm in the car.

And I turned on the radio.

And there is my friend, Mark Davis.

And I'm listening to you.

And I'm like, you know, I've kind of missed this guy.

And you were talking about your campaign for food for the poor.

And I'm a little girl from Tennessee who

was raised with not a lot.

Dallas has given me an amazing opportunity to grow my business.

And we've been very blessed.

And I feel deep in my soul to bless others with that.

That's what we're called to do, right?

And so you gave the challenge.

And I thought, you know, I'll donate.

Well, you know, I get to my next spot and went about my business.

And the next day I got in the car and I turned on the radio.

And there's my friend, Mark Davis, still pleading for food

for the poor.

And I'm like, okay, Lord, what do I do with this?

You're stirring my spirit.

What do I do?

And then you made the offer of, hey, if you give it this level,

you can come hang out with me for an hour.

And I'm like, boom, that's it.

I'm going.

And so not only is it a blessing to bless others,

but a blessing to be here with you.

And grateful for you and who you are and what you stand for.

I cannot tell you how humbling that is and how glad I am

to have asked that question and that is great.

So let's, so it was 2020.

The election that was a nightmare for a 2018,

2018, 2018 was your, your 20, the highs of the lows of 2018.

So turn around two years later when we get Trump and Biden and Vov

and all of that, you, for years did a media, we said, wait,

meaning you and my husband did, did, how deep I hear people

who say that and they're not really doing it because every once

in a while they got a check in.

I was like, how, but I know people who have described for me

the methodology of how you even do in the modern world,

a willful sort of media blackout for your life,

which I can only help aided your mental health enormously.

It was a huge aid in my mental health and I was just tired.

I was worn out.

It was a distraction.

It was brain space that I didn't want to give up anymore.

And so we just made a decision and I'm in my car a lot going

from project to project and I, the silence was a welcome for me.

And even today, literally just if I had the radio on,

I listened to you and maybe we'll listen to Mike Gallagher

and you know, listen to him when he's on it 725 in the morning

if I have the radio on.

But we just didn't turn the TV on.

We just don't turn the TV on.

That is wild.

And I know that I know there are humans like you who do this.

And it's just so other world.

We guess look what I do for a living.

I obviously don't have that option.

But I always tell people doing what I do for a living consume this

and consume political media in in a kind of a moderate amount

and then and then go take a walk and read a book and talk to your wife

and talk to your husband and raise your kids and go to church

and do other things to lead a versatile life.

Did you work?

Did conversations?

How did you keep up on stuff in the news like at all?

Well, I kept up.

I do do social media.

I have a few that I've followed that I feel are trustworthy.

The rest go away, you know, they go away.

So we knew what was going on.

We I'll tell you when we turned the TV back on

was when we were up on the East Coast for the summer

and we get a text from my older son that says,

oh my gosh, did you hear what happened to Donald Trump?

Butler PA.

And immediately we turned the TV on for the first time in years.

No kidding for coverage of the Butler rally

that's right July of 2024.

That's right.

So it was good.

And well, interesting.

So if things had been discouraging,

would it would it be safe to say that from that election season

forward, nothing's ever easy.

Nothing is ever 100% great.

How are things working out for you these days?

How do you think things are going right now?

I think, you know, I am so proud of our president.

I'm so proud of Americans who got out

and saw what he stood for and what the Democrats

stood for or didn't stand for.

So I'm very encouraged.

I hear you all at the time and I heard your guests

on earlier this morning that says, you know,

doom and gloom and Marlago's a blue county.

And you know what, go find out for yourself

what's really going on.

But I talk to people every day.

People know I ran for the legislature.

They know I'm engaged in politics.

And we talk about it all the time from the gym at 5 a.m.

in the morning till I go home at night.

My contractors, my subs on the project.

We talk about politics.

These are hard working Americans who just want the government

to get out of their way so they can earn a living

for their family and go about their day.

And so I'm encouraged by it.

I'm very encouraged by our world today.

Even though there's a lot going on, I'm very encouraged.

When you look at the midterms and everything,

everything's about the midterms.

There are ways that can go well, ways that it,

what would make you more comfortable

about the midterms going well?

What are some things you'd like to see happen?

What more of less of to help November go better?

Well, I think we've got to do a better job on our messaging.

I think we need to keep our message positive.

I think that we need to talk.

You know, we all have our own sphere of influence

that we must and need to use.

And we need to be talking to our neighbors.

We need to be talking to our friends.

We cannot let the work that we did boots on the ground,

whether you were boots on the ground,

knocked on the doors, made phone calls,

or just even voted.

We have got to go and do that overwhelmingly midterm.

We cannot stay at home.

And you know, I hear people say,

oh, you know, I wasn't going to vote for Trump again

or I can't vote for, let's go to the Texas Senate race.

Let's talk about that for a second.

I hear people say, oh, I hate Ken Paxton.

I can't ever vote for him.

I'm like, and I'll say to them, really?

Do you personally know Ken Paxton?

Hate is a very big word.

You know, and I personally know Ken Paxton.

I was one of Ken Paxton's very first supporters

when he ran for the legislature.

Then when he ran for the Senate.

And Ken Paxton was the supporter of mine

when I ran for the legislature.

Is Ken Paxton?

Does he have some baggage?

Absolutely.

But you know what?

So do I.

And so do you.

And so does every other listener listening today.

And it's interesting because I go back

to when I ran for the legislature

and I knocked on 6,000 doors personally,

plus an amazing army.

And I'd tell people before I left

and walked away from their door.

I'd say, you know what?

Go Google me.

Go Google me and see God's grace, mercy, forgiveness,

and redemption.

Because I want you to see it and see the truth

before the media tries to tell you who I am.

And so I think we're all sinners.

But I think going back to Ken.

Ken has a history.

He's stayed the course.

He's voted correctly.

He's filed the correct lawsuits.

He's fought for all of us.

Now, John Cornyn.

Well, that's another whole story.

You know, I was involved in the Republican women's organizations

for many, many years.

I kind of backed away working on my business,

rebuilding my business after running for the legislature.

But, you know, we saw John Cornyn when it was election time.

He'd come in through many

at our Republican women's organizations

and say, look at me.

I'm here for you.

No, John, you were never there for us.

And I think that Ken has a proven record.

And I think he would be amazing.

I'm thrilled.

And I hope that Donald Trump stays out of it.

I think he will.

Are you well, too?

You know, there's no, there's no upside for him.

That's it.

You know, exactly.

And you know what?

Here's the thing.

John Cornyn, and you've talked about this many times,

if he had the influence in DC with all of this seniority

and he wanted the Save Act passed, you know what?

It'd be done.

You know, I'm hoping it comes up to vote

before the primary runoff.

Make me a six.

That's right.

To say, you know what, Cornyn, if you want this to pass

and you're the man you say you are

and that you're all for this, you get up there

and use your influence on thin in those other senators

and get it passed before the primary.

You know, let's, let's go.

Put your money where your mouth is.

Lisa Lubey Ryan is here.

And she, let's take our pause, come back.

Let's go back to 2018.

When you said, you know what?

I'm going to run for state legislature.

And again, there were some highs and lows in that.

We'll recount them all.

Lisa, Lubey, Ryan, back with me.

Mark Davis is our food for the poor co-hosting gig.

We love it.

It's 9.19.

And I'm proud to be an American.

Where at least I know I'm free.

Lisa Lubey Ryan requested precisely one record.

And this isn't who gave that right to me.

And we were just talking.

It never gets old, doesn't it?

It doesn't.

It doesn't.

The great way is, what is Lee 82 or something?

And Hill still roll out and sing that for you

at a Trump rally, everyone's a little harder for him every time.

And you keep cheering him on.

Yes, yes, you can do it.

So we were cheering you on in 2018.

So you would have this designer career,

this entrepreneur career.

What was it that made you think,

I'm going to run for state legislature.

Greg Abbott had been governor for like one election cycle.

And I remember it, like it was yesterday.

What made, let's start at the beginning.

What made you think I want to run for the legislature?

I wanted to give back.

I've watched politics from afar for a long time.

And something was in my spirit to do it.

And I researched it.

I put it out there when, before Morgan Meyer ran.

And there were quite a few of us.

I think it was in 2016, actually probably 2014.

And did an exploratory committee.

But that's when Kay Bailey was going to shuffle

and everybody was shuffling in.

Nobody moved.

Case, all the writing on the wall, she didn't move.

So I stayed put and still stayed involved.

It was present in the parts of these Republican women

served on a lot of other boards.

And then things shifted.

And Jason Viaba, we moved to North Dallas.

And Jason Viaba was my state representative.

And I had watched him from afar for many years.

And he wasn't who he said he was.

You know, he was not doing what he said he would do

at the state legislature.

And I wanted better representation than that.

What did he not do?

Because I mean, I've known Jason a long time.

He's always positioned as a sort of center right,

not quite as conservative as me kind of person.

But what he was a I wouldn't say he's a was a flame thrower.

He never voted.

He did not vote on conservative issues like he said he would.

Specifically, it's been so far so long ago

that I can't say specifics.

He'd sit on the back row and not even vote.

He are not show.

There were lots of things.

And I thought and people were prompting me.

My dear friend Debbie George Addis, who you know,

we've done politics and life together

since she moved to Dallas.

And so I went and explored.

And I wasn't going to do it.

There's a lot of fear in doing that

because you're taking on a world.

I will tell you, we were in Florida.

My husband and I and we were in a swimming pool.

And there was a woman that you know,

you kind of watched people as you're sitting on the side

of the pool and she kind of worked her way over to exc.

And I kept saying, God, if I'm supposed to do this,

you're going to have to drop a center block from the sky.

And this woman came over and we started talking.

And she's from New York and we're from Texas.

And she goes, well, obviously you are God-fearing,

Bible-carrying pro-life.

If you're from Texas and I'm like, well, yeah, I am.

And she goes, well, what are you going to do

about the state of our country?

What are you going to do to keep your state red?

And all of a sudden it was like, okay,

Lord, you didn't sit in the center block.

You sent a woman from New York.

You were exactly right.

Which made it even greater impact.

And so that night at dinner, I looked at my husband

and said, honey, I'm going to do it.

And he goes, oh, geez, what are you going to do?

You know, this time what are you doing?

I said, I'm going to run.

And I went and I called my consultants

and I said, okay, I'm going to do it.

And I will tell you, it was the hardest thing

I've ever done in my life.

The loneliest thing I've ever done in my life.

You wouldn't think that, right?

Because you're surrounded by people.

Everybody wants your space.

Everybody wants to bend your ear.

How is it lonely?

You, I walked on six of walked neighborhoods,

knocked on six thousand doors and you had 30 seconds

to two minutes.

And then you're out in the neighborhoods by yourself.

But there's a lot of time spent in your lockdown

and your study calling and asking for money,

selling yourself, asking for a vote at night.

I'd get out my call list.

You know, everybody's at home with their families

and I'm raising money.

But I have to tell you, it was the most amazing thing

I've ever done in my life.

And my tent stakes were broadened.

And it was just, it was amazing.

And, you know, beating Jason was a huge feat,

as you know, four, what, fourth, fifth term incumbent.

All I do is chronicle how hard it is to beat incumbents

and ever in the, the, the, the, the, the,

the Mark Davis rule of primaries, you can't win.

Unless there's just a sea change in attitude

and people to say, you know what?

We don't want this guy anymore.

We want new blood.

What do you think it was?

60 seconds now we hit the break and come back to talk some more.

What do you think changed in the district?

Did the district get more conservative?

And that's why they went with you in 2018.

What happened?

No, I think I, I messaged and I think out,

I think I got out and messaged and personally met people.

And I was somewhere every single day.

And I think people wanted fresh new.

Someone, they wanted someone that they could trust.

You know, we as Americans, as people as voters,

we, now we like trust and we like patients.

And they wanted someone that they could trust.

And I will tell you this real quick,

in knocking on the stores, everybody talks about Californians,

have come here to bring Californian policies.

That is so wrong.

I talked to hundreds of them.

They are here for Texas.

They are thrilled to have escaped.

Absolutely.

Nothing is unanimous, but by and large.

So we all thought that back in 2018,

that they're voting, you know, blue

and that's why the other Republicans lost,

because we all lost that year.

No, I think we had to stop and look at,

and I think it's more visible today with Trump,

exposing the fraud and voter fraud.

And I'm not here as, you know, ill-will or whatever.

But things have changed since then,

and we do look at that now.

But Californians come here to keep Texas red,

not to turn it blue.

Let us take a quick pause.

Lisa Lubey-Rion is here talking about that race in 2018,

and stuff that's going on since.

Things going on with her, stuff in her head, stuff in her body

of experience across the FW,

and just doing all kinds of entrepreneurial things,

and decorative things, and political things.

And we'll talk about more of those things as we continue.

Mark Davis, Lisa Lubey-Rion,

our food for the poor co-hosting gig.

It's 9-31.

Into the newsroom we go, and here's Mickey Waley.

MUSIC

Lisa Selection.

Lisa Lubey-Rion with us.

She's done a lot of things.

Ran for the legislature, won the primary,

but alas, we'll get to that here in a second.

But first, the reason you can't think,

and what was that big record from the early 80s,

cool-in-the-gang celebration, it's iconic,

we've all heard it a million times,

you, however, heard it.

Well, you were in college in New Hampshire

doing a dance contest.

I was, of what type?

It was a 48-hour dance marathon.

Oh, Lord.

At UNH when I was there as a sophomore.

And it was raising money for the March of Dimes

or an organization like that.

And, you know, I'm always up for a good challenge.

Obviously, I don't mind asking people for money,

when you run for office, you have to.

And it's interesting because I raised the most money.

I had a dance partner who was not even a student.

He was a friend of mine from my hometown.

But the deal was, if we won,

that my roommate got to go to Jamaica with me.

So we...

So was that a prize?

That was the prize.

You got a trip over spring break to Jamaica.

And so, of course, give me a challenge,

raise money, and I won.

And that was the song that they played

at the end of 48 hours.

A dancing straight through.

Okay, wait a minute.

There's straight through and there's straight through.

Did you get...

There are breaks, right?

Every two hours, you get 10 minutes.

Yeah.

And they had massage therapists there

that would massage our feet.

But you know what?

It was so much fun.

And I remember as if it was yesterday.

And our friends would come all through the night.

They came in Friday night at two and three in the morning.

It was a gym.

And I'm thinking there was a movie called

They Shoot Horses, don't they?

There was about a dance marathon that took place

in some bygone decade.

The movie was from the 70s.

Try to remember who's in it.

And it was about that, about how punishing that can be.

Because these things were a fad for quite a while.

But this was 1981, gotcha.

So you start out, three o'clock in the morning.

I mean, you're just 48 hours means,

48 hours straight.

Every two hours.

Six o'clock Friday to 6 p.m. Sunday.

Everybody starts out.

Energetic thinks piece of cake.

We got this.

Yeah, was there a wall?

Was there a point where you thought,

well, I don't know if I don't know if I'm going to be able to do this?

No, not for us.

There was not.

It was just because you know, college students are up 24 hours.

You know, I wasn't.

I was a student.

But people, you know, would come in throughout the hours.

And just as you start to get tired,

the next group would come in and they'd been partying.

But it's interesting.

I think there were probably 60 couples

that started in the end.

I think there were four couples that finished,

but we raised the most money.

And so we won in, but I've just had to search my own brain.

1969 of the movie called They Shoot Horses.

Don't they with Jane Fonda and Michael Sarah's in.

And it was about your go to dance contest movie.

Man, what kind of shape are you in after after 48 hours of that?

I think I slept for 48 hours.

I was trying to say and earned it earned it earned it.

That's right.

Okay.

So let's talk about earning things.

You earned your primary win over Jason Vialba.

And I remember him doing talk shows at the time.

And everybody said, okay, conservatives, you know, you say this is what you want.

You wanted somebody more conservative.

But what not every district is going to give you the most conservative person.

And you go out on the general and it was John Turner, right?

John Turner.

You got beat and it was not that close.

What happened?

Well, he was, it was the district Republicans wanted somebody more conservative.

But the general electorate, what, what, what, what do you, what happened?

You know, we were surprised.

It was interesting.

Of course, we're doing our own internal polling.

And we, we felt good.

There were times when we didn't feel great.

But then as we got closer to the end, we felt confident.

And you know, again, I go back.

It's when Pete Sessions, everybody from our judges up to Pete Sessions, who was at

the head of the ticket, you know, we're wiped out.

So I don't think it was about us.

It was about the whole ticket and it was Trump's midterm.

And it was amazing.

We would knock on doors that we knew were Republicans.

And even if I saw a sign in the yard that was for John Turner, I knocked on that door.

Good for you.

And introduce myself and just said, I understand you're voting for him.

But one, just see if you have any questions for me.

Absolutely.

You know, it goes back to we were talking before the show.

People don't know what you need unless you ask.

They don't know who you are unless you tell them.

And it was, I think, I think it was a midterm election.

Is what I think.

And this in history will always tell that when a president wins, the very next election

afterward is very unkind to that freshly elected president's party.

So you might have had that.

If you think you flipped anybody, it went to a John Turner sign house, boom, boom.

Think you flipped anybody in that in those conversations.

100%.

Absolutely.

We did.

And I loved campaigning.

I loved meeting the people.

Our strategy was amazing.

We were not negative.

We stayed true.

You know, and I think as we're learning in the corn and race, corn and going after Ken

Paxton in a negative way is not moving that needle.

As you said, I don't think we stayed positive.

We knew it's interesting because there's many, many days that I stayed in the study and

calling, making phone calls, introducing myself.

I would say, Lord, here's another day to trust you more because I knew the arrows were

going to fly any day.

And I have a big story.

You can Google me, you know, I've traveled the world sharing our personal testimony.

It's out there.

And so, but I knew that they were going to come.

And I did an interview with the Dallas Morning News.

And of course, the Sunday before Tuesday, the general election, you know, the election

day above the fold on the Metropolitan Section is Lisa Loube Ryan in my story.

And I just, it was okay.

It was okay because they thought they had something and they didn't.

It was already out there.

But you know, the media wants to twist it and they want to villainize you.

And we knew who we were and we knew what we were doing.

And for such a time as that, I've got an inside baseball question because there's something

I say a lot.

And I want to, because you said, your internal polling thought things were going to go

better.

Okay.

But if I'm an internal pollster, do I want to deliver you the truth or do I want to

make you happy, which is not always going to be the same thing.

I tend to think that almost all internal polling is way too optimistic because they want

to make you happy because you're paying them on my roads.

We had both.

We had both.

We had different pollsters do running different polls.

There were days when they'd say it doesn't look good and you know what it did?

It made me go work harder.

It made me raise more money.

It made me go knock on more doors because in a lot of it's the way they ask the questions.

You know, I always wanted them to call and poll us for John Turner or poll them for me.

You know, but we never got those calls.

And I think it's very targeted.

So I don't always trust those internal polls, but I think using them as one data point.

Exactly.

I mean, here's a world you know a lot about.

You were president of the park cities Republican women, right, for, for how long?

Two years.

Gotcha.

And this would have been roughly.

Look, gosh, you're going back now.

It would have been 2000, four, 2005.

So before you ran, so this, so 20 years ago versus now, the Republican clubs and grassroots

gatherings and people just gathering and being Republican is really important.

And I hear this a lot.

I want to know what your thoughts are.

Because if I were to walk into, I do a lot.

I do a lot of speaking engagements, et cetera, et cetera.

And the average age is about your age in mind.

And where are the 20 year olds?

Where are the 30 year olds?

And the answer is, they're not doing other things.

Is it problematic that the average county Republican club or something is skewing a little

older these days?

Well, I think it always has.

I mean, I think it has always, you know, when you were in your 20s and 30s, you weren't

it becoming clubs.

Exactly.

No, I wasn't.

You weren't doing that.

You were living life and building your family.

Yeah.

And, and I think that's what they do.

That, you know, through turning point USA and some other organizations, they're engaging

the young people.

What I will say about the Republican women's clubs, though, is Republican women love to

dress up and they love to come to meetings and they love to go to lunch.

But how many actually go knock on doors for you?

I was shocked that more did not come.

It was your true activist that came.

It was the ones, you know, and I would be like, you know what?

Make phone calls for us.

We'll feed you.

We'll pay you.

Come make phone calls, knock on doors, write a check.

But we Republican women don't do that.

Will they vote?

Yes.

But they want to come in here that they talked, you know, so and so was their speaker today.

Do Hurst or whoever, you know, we used to have, we used to have great, they'd all come

when we were president.

But we have to get those women, if you're going to take the time and go gain the knowledge,

you know what you're up against, go put that knowledge into action, go help these candidates

get elected, go, it's a hard job.

I understand why more people don't run for president that aren't already in the cesspool,

you know, why more people don't run for the state legislature.

It's a hard job, but it's an important job.

It's very important.

All right.

I got one, one thing I wanted to ask you, then anything, we got two, three minutes, anything

else that you want to add on, because you brought a list of May 26 is going to be an amazing

answer that we'll get, not, not just in corn and versus Paxton, but MAGA maze, Middleton

and Chip Roy and railroad commissioner with both French, up against the incumbent.

I'm going to have a job on May 27th and that's to help the people who lost, get off the

ledge and beat this creature, James Tallerico.

What do you think would be harder or are they kind of the same?

Getting the disappointed Paxton people to go vote for Cornon or getting the disappointed

Cornon people to go vote for Paxton.

I think it's going to be harder to get the Cornon people to vote for Paxton than the other

way around.

Why?

I think the Cornon people are so establishment and just, you know what, the establishment

has hated Ken Paxton since the very beginning.

You know that, they've done every lawsuit, they've thrown everything against him, they've

tried to impeach him, they've done everything.

And I think Cornon is so establishment in the establishment, voters don't have a tendency

to vote and run off.

You've got grass roots who are all in for Ken Paxton and I talk to them daily 10 hours

a day and we are energized.

We know the truth.

We know that we've got to get out there.

So I think if Paxton doesn't win, they're going to vote for Cornon because they know the

option.

But I think Cornon voters would rather have Tallerico than Ken Paxton and I hate to say that.

You know, I tell you what, but I think you're right.

There's an X number of people for whom that's true, but I guarantee you I could fill these

lines every day with Paxton people who say, if he loses, there's no way in God's

earth I'm voting for Cornon because I'm so sick of the establishment, so sick of the

status quo, let him enjoy Tallerico for denying us our guy.

Maybe it's a wash, maybe it's the same thing, right?

But your point is well taken as well.

Anything on your list that we haven't gotten to here in a minute or two?

Well, no, I just, you know, I just love where we are.

I think we, I love what President Trump is doing.

Is this it?

Is this my final half?

No, no, I'll tell you what, give me 60 seconds.

Okay.

We're going to take the break.

We're going to come back in about two minutes on the other side.

What we listen to adjacent Aldi record underneath us.

Oh, good, good, good, good.

You know what?

Here's the thing.

I'm going to say about the last of the politics or whatever is with President Trump.

It's amazing what that man has done.

We all rallied together overwhelmingly to vote him for vote for him.

You know, I tell people all the time, when I married, might make a decision to marry

my husband 31 years ago.

I married him and trusted in him that every decision he made for our, was for the good

of our family.

And I have rested in that for 31 years.

We elected a president because we trusted him and we have got to trust him.

We have no idea what he knows.

Our human minds could not process what that man knows in the decisions that he has to

make.

But I do tell you, I rest in those decisions that he makes is for the betterment of you

and me and our country.

And you give me a president that's done that in a long time.

And I'll be shocked if you could.

Like you said, Jimmy Carter was the only one that was Bible thumping.

One wife, you know, behaviorally perfect, terrible, horrible.

So you know what, we've got to stay patient.

We've got to stay the course, it's like hiring a football coach, you know, basketball

coach.

We've all loved March Madness recently.

You know what, hire that coach, trust him, give him time to build a team, give him time

to make the decisions.

We don't know what his decisions are based on, but we trust him because we've hired him.

Lisa Louby Ryan is here.

I love a final word or two when we come back.

Mark Davis 950.

Pulling out the window and let's go.

Our coach Lisa Louby Ryan said, Hey, I kind of like Jason Aldean.

So here's dirt road anthem to take us out.

Let me calm Jason down here.

Give me 60 seconds.

You had a memory of when we were hanging out and about our mutual friend, Debbie, George

Addis.

Well, the last it's fun being back in the studio because Debbie, what, 10, 11 years

ago, used to be on Salem radio and Sunday nights and do a radio talk show.

So I would be a frequent visitor guest on her show and it was when Trump was running

for his first time.

And I'll never forget looking at Debbie and because we debated about Trump and through

the primaries and all of that.

And I said to her, I said, Debbie, I'll tell you this right now, mark it down.

Donald Trump is going to win this election and he's going to go down as one of America's

greatest presidents of all time.

And like him or not, history will show that that is the truth.

This is it.

And we need to rest in that every night when we go to bed that we have a man in the White

House protecting America first.

What an absolute joy to be at Lisa Lubey Ryan.

Thank you so much for the contribution for food for the poor and for being here.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thanks to Rhonda.

Thanks to Matt.

Thanks to Nikki Waley in the newsroom.

God bless our country.

Our troops, our families.
