Stop, stop, stop the music, stop. We got to turn it off. No, sorry, fade out this. Y'all, I did not realize coming in and sitting down at this microphone that today is actually Juneteenth observed. Yesterday was Juneteenth, the date that the Union Army brought word, I think, to Galveston, Texas that the Emancipation

Proclamation had actually been signed sometime before. It's a Texas holiday. Donald Trump

wanted to sign it into law to make it a federal holiday. The Democrats actually blocked

Trump from doing it. They didn't want him to take the credit. Biden signed it in the law last

year. So it's federal. Today's a holiday. So I didn't want him to take the credit. Biden signed it a law last year. So it's

federal. Today's a holiday. So I don't want anyone to think I'm a racist by working on Juneteenth.

So I have to leave you now with dead air for the next three. I can't work. It's Juneteenth.

It's Sacra Saint. The New York Times said so. So you guys enjoy your day and I will talk to you all tomorrow.

Or I guess I could, I mean, I didn't plan. I assumed I was going to work. I guess I could stay. I got golf this afternoon. I can stick around until then.

I just, oh my gosh. You know, I've got friends of mine who are upset that

appropriated from Texas, a uniquely Texas holiday. Half the states don't give off for Juneteenth. A lot of people think it's

Y'all, I don't care. I have no dog in the fight. If I got the entire month of pride off,

I would hoist the rainbow flag, make some

fun fettied cakes that identify as pies and take a vacation to the beach. But nope, I don't get off

for that. And this year, I don't get off of this. I don't, I don't really, it doesn't bother me.

If you want to give me off a holiday, I mean,

if you want to create a holiday around Joe Biden falling down on his bicycle and give us all a day off, I'll take the day off. I won't complain about the day off. I may find it ridiculous,

but I'm happy to take the day off.

This one, look, there's, it's a, it's a historic moment in American history. It's kind of a cool

story. Uh, they, they want a distinct, um, a distinct holiday to memorialize that moment in
