Speaker 3: I don't plan to shave, and it's good thing, but

00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:29,400

Speaker 1: The League World Series in Williamsport at the twelve year

Speaker 1: old age division, well they can and you're playing together

15
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 1: and playing together well, and they went to the Juniors

16
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 1: Little League World Series. They were defeated last week. That

17
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: group well, wherever they play together, high school, it's going

18
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: to be interesting to see that group grow up together

19
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: because they are obviously a unit. And the year before them,

20
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: Lamar Little League out of Richmond in Southwest Houston had

21
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: their incredible run come to an end with a seven

22
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: to three loss to New England. Head coach Justin Pollard

23
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: talking about the experience.

24
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 7: Sold the boys there at the end. It's not the

25
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 7: way that we wanted it to go. It's definitely disappointing.

26
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 7: We had high expectations of playing a lot longer here and.

27
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: Just didn't play out that way.

28
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 7: But you know, we've got to be We're definitely grateful

29
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 7: for the opportunity to be able to be here and

30
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 7: play on this state and represent the Southwest and just

31
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 7: it was an unbelievable experience. I just wish we could

32
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 7: have made it a little bit longer.

33
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 8: But when you.

34
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 7: Out hit a team but have four errors and it's tough,

35
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 7: it's awesome to see the community rally behind you and

36
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 7: all the support that we get along the way. The

37
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 7: amount of people that we had from back home travel

38
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,239
Speaker 7: here to come out and watch us play here in

39
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 7: Williamsport is amazing. We know there's been There was tons

40
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 7: of watch parties and everything going on back home in

41
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 7: Houston too. We get lots of phone calls and texts

42
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 7: and everything all the time. The community, sport, his support

43
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 7: has been amazing throughout the whole journey.

44
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: Very cool, very cool, And may I say that coach

45
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: and his staff conducted themselves the way you would want

46
00:02:55,280 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: father coaches to conduct themselves, all the while mindful that

47
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 1: you're raising young men. You're not sparky, you're not Tommy Lasorda,

48
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: You're not Tony LaRussa, don't make this about you. Teach

49
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: those young men, teach those young boys to grow into men.

50
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,359
Speaker 1: And I have to say I think he did a

51
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: great job. In a three two surprising vote, Tom Ramsey,

52
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: Leslie Brioni's and Adrian Garcia made a three to two

53
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 1: packed against Rodney Ellis and Lacoman Dante to approve a

54
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: pay raise for the Harris County constables, prompting Lena to

55
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: get very, very angry. She's gonna have to go back

56
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: in the loney bin. She's gonna have to there. They're

57
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: setting her off.

58
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,080
Speaker 6: There was a heavy police presence at Harris County Commissioner's

59
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 6: Court today, not because something was wrong, but the.

60
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 2: Fight for over how much to pay them was up

61
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 2: for debate.

62
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 6: After agreeing to give raises to debties earlier this year,

63
00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:01,560
Speaker 6: commissioners considered elected constable salaries. Today they go from about

64
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 6: one hundred and eighty thousand to nearly three hundred thousand

65
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 6: dollars measure that passed by a three to two vote.

66
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 6: Now there's a question of how to afford it. Budget

67
00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 6: director says the recent pay raises added one hundred million

68
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 6: dollars to the proposed budget. That's not the only shortfall,

69
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 6: the director says, in all, the county needs to find

70
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 6: about two hundred and ten million dollars.

71
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 2: How they're going to close the gap depends.

72
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: On who you ask.

73
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 9: Let me try it. I'd like to see two hundred

74
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 9: million dollars worth of efficiencies. I don't see them appear.

75
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 6: During the meeting, Judge Lena Hadago constantly blamed Commissioners Tom Ramsey,

76
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 6: Leslie Brionis and Adrian Garcia for the shortfall. She says,

77
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 6: to balance the budget, positions may get cut, services get dropped,

78
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 6: and money for emergencies like hurricanes could be impacted.

79
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 9: Unless my colleagues can make money grow on trees. Yes,

80
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:55,360
Speaker 9: there will be cuts to basic services.

81
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 2: Garcia and Brionis don't see it that way.

82
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 6: They say over the last eight months they as non

83
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 6: critical service departments to cut their budgets by ten percent.

84
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 6: They see savings with the hiring freeze, cutting contracts and

85
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 6: selling property.

86
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 1: Library hours as I mentioned earlier, are not being cut.

87
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 4: That's something that you've seen other governments do.

88
00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: We're not doing it.

89
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:17,800
Speaker 2: Just by increasing police pay.

90
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 6: The commissioners say the county can't afford it without raising taxes.

91
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 6: It's not a done deal though, as commissioners still have

92
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 6: a few weeks to finalize their plans. To me, raising

93
00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:31,240
Speaker 6: taxes is a last last resort. We have to put

94
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 6: in the work to see what we can do to

95
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,479
Speaker 6: be more strategic and more effective with what we have.

96
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 2: So let's give you a timeline of what could be coming.

97
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 2: In early September, Herdago said.

98
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: We might even have to cut back on her trips

99
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:51,480
Speaker 1: to Paris. Oh my, oh my, where in the world

100
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: is Lena? Had all go, oh, she's stuck here in

101
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: Harris County. Wouldn't that be a strange twist of fate.

102
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: I've said it before, I'll say it again. You don't

103
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:09,360
Speaker 1: need to operate public libraries in twenty twenty five, you

104
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 1: do not need to operate public libraries. Now. People have

105
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 1: this emotional connection to where we have to have a library.

106
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 1: You've ever been to one? Howvin since you've been to

107
00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: the public library? How long has it been since you've

108
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: been to the public library. It's very expensive to operate.

109
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: You've got to staff them, you have to air condition them.

110
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: This is property that's taken off the tax roll, the

111
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 1: no tax is paid on it. And then of course

112
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: you got your collections, So take that property, put it

113
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:51,159
Speaker 1: to auction, let it be sold. Put that money toward

114
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:54,039
Speaker 1: debt retirement. They'll never do this because there's no glory

115
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: for them in doing that. Put that money toward debt

116
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 1: retirement and get those salaries all off the public teat

117
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: So people say, no, I've said this about the city. No, no, no,

118
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: you got to have the libraries. Okay, the next time

119
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: you call for a cop and there's not one for

120
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: a long time, and you find out that there's not

121
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: the money in the budget for enough cops. Considering how

122
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 1: many Democrats are out here mugging, raping, pedophiles, carjacking, jugging,

123
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: the whole thing, there's just not enough to keep up

124
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 1: with the Democrats, because it's all democrats. Make no mistake.

125
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: Every Democrat is not a criminal, but every criminal is

126
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 1: a Democrat. Well, how about if you found out the

127
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: next time there's not a cop that comes for an

128
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,360
Speaker 1: hour when you've had you've been the victim of a

129
00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: violent crime, and you find out that that money could

130
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 1: have come from the library to put more cops on

131
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,800
Speaker 1: the street. Are you so passionate about these libraries that

132
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 1: you're holding on to now? It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. You

133
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:01,320
Speaker 1: could sell that property, put the money toward debt. Stop

134
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 1: those operations, lay off all the librarians. I'm sure they're

135
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: wonderful people, and I'm sure they'll find a job doing

136
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,840
Speaker 1: something else. This is the point, Oh, to roll up

137
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: our sleeves. There's a lot of tough work. There's not

138
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: tough work. No, no, this is what families would do. Hey, guys,

139
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: we're spending money on stuff we can't afford. We're gonna

140
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 1: cut that period. End of story. The King of Team

141
00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: continues on The Michael Berry Show. I love this dum

142
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 1: dumb KP George, the county judge in Fort Benn County.

143
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: The poor Man's Lena Hidalgo indicted by Fort Benn County

144
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: prosecutors for using campaign funds for personal expenses, including property

145
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: taxes and a down payment on his home. Assistant District

146
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:55,120
Speaker 1: Attorney Charin might be Charon, I don't know, c cha

147
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: r a in In. Thompson wrote last week that after

148
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: George's first campaign for only judge in twenty eighteen, he

149
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 1: reported a campaign balance of three hundred ninety nine dollars. However,

150
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: Thompson stated his actual campaign balance was thirty seven twenty

151
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: eight dollars and ninety four cents, noting that two weeks later,

152
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 1: the defendant transferred thirty thousand dollars from his campaign account

153
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 1: to his personal account. The DA's office said George transferred

154
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,959
Speaker 1: another sixteen thousand, five hundred from his campaign account to

155
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: his personal account a few months later, with Thompson saying

156
00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 1: quote that the defendant used the money to pay his

157
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 1: personal property taxes and toward a down payment on a

158
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: new house. Prosecutors also said George not only concealed the

159
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 1: campaign contribution from his January report, but also concealed the

160
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: transfers from the subsequent campaign finance report, adding that George

161
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: knowingly made a false entry in a government document KP. George.

162
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: We call him dumb dumb. And the reason we call

163
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 1: him dumb dumb is it's complicatedy because he's stupid. He's

164
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 1: really stupid. He's not smart. He's low IQ, he's well,

165
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: I don't want to say he's that because that would

166
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: make you more sympathetic. He's just really, really slow. He's

167
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: not smart. He's the opposite of smart. He can't add

168
00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:17,960
Speaker 1: two and two together. Now, the problem with someone being

169
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: so stupid in a position of authority. Is that then

170
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: he is beholden to people around him who want to

171
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: use him to make money. And he goes and that's

172
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: what he does, kind of grunts, kind of uh, do

173
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: you remember what is that movie we've been still?

Speaker 1: Uh uh? Tropic thunder? Do you remember the movie he

176
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: had made? And that you don't go that's KP. George,

177
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:53,160
Speaker 1: That is KP George. The yeah, go ahead.

00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: That he retaught it. He was a damn war hero.

187
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: You know what, he retired war heroes.

188
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:27,320
Speaker 11: You went full retarding man, never go for retarding. You

Speaker 11: remember went full retard, went on emptenda.

191
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 1: So you've got Lena Hidalgo, who even her peers now

192
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: admit she's crazy, even the people who helped put her there.

193
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 1: She's crazy, Okay. Her three top aides were indicted for

194
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: an inside deal to give twenty million dollars to a

195
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 1: woman who would have given them a kickback. You you've

196
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: got now, you've got the mayor of New Orleans who's

197
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 1: been in on using seventy thousand dollars of city funds

198
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: to travel with her boyfriend bodyguard. And we've been saying

199
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:15,040
Speaker 1: for three four years because New Orleans is a big

200
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,480
Speaker 1: market for us, and people would say they're lovey dove everywhere.

201
00:12:18,520 --> 00:12:23,559
Speaker 1: I mean, they're like two rabbits, they're like teenagers. It's disgusting.

202
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 1: And she was paying to have him flown everywhere else. Well,

203
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: of course he's married. That creates awkwardness with his wife,

204
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 1: and she's flying first class. She said that she couldn't

205
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,440
Speaker 1: couldn't travel in quitch because it was not safe for

206
00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: her as a black woman. This is like a vaudeville

207
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: act being carried out in this country. You've got these fat, ugly,

208
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: stupid black women who are mayors of cities, and then

209
00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: our police chiefs are fire chiefs. You've got other non

210
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: white that's Lena hid allgo who are county judges and

211
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: mayors and police chiefs, and they're always lesbians. In this case,

212
00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: we don't think she is. And then you've got the

213
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 1: white liberal women who are the most dangerous of them all.

214
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: And if things don't change, now, we're going to have

215
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 1: a white liberal lesbian as our next county judge. And

216
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:28,680
Speaker 1: you get these very angry white liberal women judges, white

217
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 1: liberal women, police chiefs, fire chiefs. You look at what

218
00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,360
Speaker 1: happened in Cincinnati where those people were pummelings. A wonder

219
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: they didn't die. It's really a wonder they did not die.

220
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:42,320
Speaker 1: They were beaten so badly. And you wonder about the

221
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: black people who beat them like that, clearly orchestrated, clearly

222
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 1: plan and such anger at just a random woman half

223
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: your size. You don't know to beat a woman like this.

224
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 1: Investigators will tell you when somebody is beaten beyond being incapacitated,

225
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,040
Speaker 1: it's always a crime of passion because there's so much

226
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,600
Speaker 1: anger built up. How you have that much anger toward

227
00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: a random white woman. Well, there are a lot of

228
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: black thugs walking around, and white liberals and black elected

229
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: officials who are very, very angry at normal white people.

230
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,920
Speaker 1: And if they had the opportunity to kill them, beat them,

231
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: maim them, they would. And that's what's going on all

232
00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: the time around us. Everywhere there is a simmering animosity.

233
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: Go to the post office. Just go to any post

234
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: office today and transact business three times, and at least

235
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:44,480
Speaker 1: one of your experiences will be with some angry black

236
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 1: woman who hates you for being a white guy. It'll happen.

237
00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: You're just used to it now, God forbid you go

238
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: in there and ask to buy a book of stamps.

239
00:14:54,440 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: And how long it'll take for this letter to reach Philadelphia?

240
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 1: And it's in everything we do. And now you've got

241
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:07,280
Speaker 1: that as the leadership of every major city in this country.

242
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: If Whipmer didn't meet Sheila Jackson Lee, you realize over

243
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 1: a third of Houstonians voted for Sheila Jackson Lye as

244
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: our mayor. Can you imagine Sheila Jackson Lee is our mayor?

245
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 3: From Portland to Waldeny, all Greek cities in between to

246
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 3: Michael Berry show is nationwide.

247
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: After President Trump's meeting with Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday,

248
00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: Zelenski will be at the White House this afternoon. Immediately

249
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: after that, meeting at one pm Eastern will be a

250
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: two fifteen meeting with European leaders. Sure seems like they're

251
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: setting the stage for the announcement of a deal. Now

252
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:07,440
Speaker 1: that might be putting extra pressure to get the deal done.

253
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: Lindsey Grahamnesty, over the weekend, along with a Democrat senator,

254
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: was moving to bring criminal charges against Vladimir Putin. Now,

255
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: what does that sound like? He's trying to do? Queer

256
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 1: the deal? Absolutely exactly what he's trying to do. And

257
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: it's just it's blatant. It's embarrassing, it's childish. It really

258
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: is childish to think this looks like it's natural coming. Now,

259
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: of course we're talking about Lindsay Grahamnesty. I mean, this

260
00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: guy talk about a fraud in every aspect of his life.

261
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: We'll get to that in just a moment. Larry writes,

262
00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: I'm so excited right now I can barely contain it.

263
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,720

Speaker 1: assuming that's also five point twenty nine and ninety nine area.

266
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:12,120
Speaker 1: I'm shocked. They were there about two hundred pounder hogs.

267
00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: Best I could tell they were three foot off the ground,

268
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: grazing by their retention pond. I can't wait to go

269
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,880
Speaker 1: to the HOA meeting and offer my pest control services.

270
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: They won't like my methods, but I can guarantee results

271

Speaker 1: with no civilian casualties. Are I'm going to corn the

00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: I got this. I like to imagine the HOA guy

274
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 1: trying to get him to calm down, and him steady going,

275
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 1: I'm gonna kill him, hogs, I'm gonna kill him. Well,

276
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,040
Speaker 1: now hold on, sir, now, now, now don't you do that.

00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,959

Speaker 8: we're gonna We're gonna play gun fight till Kraill.

369
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 4: You're not first sake me, hol my secretary.

370
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 8: Come back here, said, who you yelling at? What's going on?

371
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:30,080
Speaker 1: Roy D Mercer was voiced by Felling Brent Douglas out

372
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:33,439
Speaker 1: of Tulsa, Oklahoma. They were on the radio there, it

373
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: was Brent and Phil and Phil would be in the

374
00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: background laughing, and I don't know, ten years or so ago,

375
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: Phil passed. They'd been off the air for a while,

376
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: and so I got an email address for Brent, tracked

377
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 1: it down my p I said, it's best we can find,

378
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: and Brent had kind of gone off the grid, but

379
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,440
Speaker 1: he was the voice of Roy Mercer and I sent

380
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: him an email told him about the show. What a

381
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,120
Speaker 1: fan I was. Never got a response back. I ended

382
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: up sitting in about five emails, but I offered him money,

383
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: a monthly retainer to cut a couple of spots a month.

384
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 1: I didn't know if he'd want to do it or not,

385
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,400
Speaker 1: but it was my hope that he would, and I thought,

386
00:22:20,440 --> 00:22:23,120
Speaker 1: how cool would it be to bring roy D Mercer back.

387
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,720
Speaker 1: Never responded and My understanding from other people in the

388
00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: radio business is that he didn't want any part of

389
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 1: anything anymore. When Phil died, that was kind of the

390
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: death of that character and their you know, radio persona.

391
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: And Brent passed in February of this year, so we

392
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: just passed a couple of months ago. So that means

393
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: that the roy D Mercer that we have in the

394
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,679
Speaker 1: can is all the roy D Mercer there will there

395
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:55,760
Speaker 1: will never be. You know that you could always hold

396
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,720
Speaker 1: out hope that he would come back. And I played

397
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:05,360
Speaker 1: roy D Mercer about ten maybe fifteen years ago or so,

398
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: and I got no. We were on in Kentucky, so

399
00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,320
Speaker 1: it must have been about ten years ago, and I

400
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,880
Speaker 1: got an email from a fellow in Kentucky and he said,

401
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:22,360
Speaker 1: those guys ripped off. I can't remember the guy's name.

402
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: The guy's real name is something like r. D. Mercer.

403
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 1: It's not Roy It was like r. D Mercer, and

404
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:34,479
Speaker 1: they ripped him off and he was the original, and

405
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:39,400
Speaker 1: he had tapes that he would sell. And I did

406
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:41,720
Speaker 1: my research and it turned out it's true. They had

407
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 1: absolutely one percent ripped off a guy that never really

408
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 1: made any real money off the creation of that chair.

409
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: But he cussed that's why he couldn't play him.

410
00:23:50,600 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 12: On air very show, President Trump talking about the summit

411
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 12: with Putin, saying, we were together almost three hours and

412
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:11,719
Speaker 12: it was very extensive.

413
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: We agreed on a lot of points. I mean a

414
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 1: lot of points were agreed on, and there's not that much.

415
00:24:18,480 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: There's you know, one or two pretty significant items, but

416
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,560
Speaker 1: I think they can be reached. Resident Trump is a

417
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 1: hype man. He builds hype to build momentum for his efforts.

418
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: The fact that he is offering less hype than he

419
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,760
Speaker 1: usually would. This is a man who called an omnibus

420
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:41,280
Speaker 1: spending bill the one big beautiful bill. The fact that

421
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: he is not hyping this makes me think perhaps that

422
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: he's got a deal, but he doesn't want to put

423
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 1: himself in this situation where Putin Zelenski has no hand

424
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:01,960
Speaker 1: in this, but where Putin can kill this deal and

425
00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 1: would have that over him. So by underselling this, he's

426
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 1: creating a situation where Putin's more likely to finish the deal,

427
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: Whereas if he does a victory lap before the meeting,

428
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 1: that would be an unsophisticated approach because Putin will be

429
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: renegotiating until the last minute. Here was President Trump talking

430
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 1: to Sean Hannity.

431
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 13: It's a terrible war where he's losing a lot and

432
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:30,120
Speaker 13: both of them are, and hopefully it can get completed.

433
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:33,000
Speaker 13: That would be great achievement for them, forget about me,

434
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 13: for them, and you'll save seven thousand lives a week.

435
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 5: That's a lot.

436
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 14: I spoke very briefly to Secretary of State Rubio and

437
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 14: he did say to me, he goes, there's a difference

438
00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,360
Speaker 14: when you sit in the same room together, the versus

439
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:51,119
Speaker 14: you know, talking to each other through the press. Do

440
00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 14: you even through the phone, even through the phone, not the.

441
00:25:54,160 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 13: Same thing when you're on a telephone, it's not the

442
00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 13: same thing either.

443
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 5: This was I mean, we were together.

444
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 13: Almost three hours, and it was very extensive and we

445
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:04,239
Speaker 13: agreed it a lot of points. I mean a lot

446
00:26:04,240 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 13: of points were agreed on, but there's not that much,

447
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:09,840
Speaker 13: as you know, one or two pretty significant items, but

448
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:11,399
Speaker 13: I think they can be reached.

449
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 5: Now.

450
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 13: It's really up to Presidents Olynsky to get it done.

451
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 13: And I would also say the European nations they have

452
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 13: to get involved a little bit. But it's up to

453
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 13: Presidents Olynsky. I think we are and if they'd like,

454
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 13: I'll be at that next meeting. They're going to set

455
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 13: up a meeting now between Presidents Olynsky and President.

456
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,280
Speaker 5: Putin and myself.

457
00:26:29,320 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 13: I guess you know, I didn't even I didn't ask

458
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 13: you about it. Not that I want to be there,

459
00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,159
Speaker 13: but I want to make sure it gets done.

460
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 5: And we have a pretty good chance of getting it

461
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 5: done if.

462
00:26:37,840 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 14: You had to grade it on a scale of one

463
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:40,240
Speaker 14: to ten.

464
00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 13: So I think the meeting was a ten in the

465
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 13: sense that we got along great and it's good when

466
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 13: you know two big powers get along, especially when they're

467
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,600
Speaker 13: nuclear powers. You know, we're number one, they're number two

468
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:56,320
Speaker 13: in the world, and it's a big deal. That's a

469
00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 13: big deal. You never want to even mention that word,

470
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 13: the word nuclear. But we have a tremendous nuclear and

471
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 13: I rebuilt it when I was president first term, and

472
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 13: I hated to rebuild it. It was the one thing I

473
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 13: hated to rebuild, but we had to. And we have

474
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 13: the greatest nuclear force with the greatest military in the

475
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:20,600
Speaker 13: world actually, and they have a big nuclear presidents also.

476
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: He's right, President Trump talking to Sean Hannity about the war,

477
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: which should have never happened.

478
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 14: He said at the Joint Press conference that you have

479
00:27:37,080 --> 00:27:39,639
Speaker 14: said this many, many times, and he confirmed for the

480
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:43,480
Speaker 14: world today that if you were president, this wouldn't have happened.

481
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 14: Did any of the specifics come up as to why

482
00:27:46,320 --> 00:27:47,520
Speaker 14: he said that it did.

483
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 13: It doesn't matter at this point. But this war should

484
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 13: never have happened. You know, a lot of wars should

485
00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 13: never have happened. There was stupid things go down, and

486
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:59,879
Speaker 13: the wrong people are talking. But Biden was a terrible

487
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 13: resident in so many ways. He should have never let

488
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 13: it happen, and it did.

489
00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 5: There are millions of people killed.

490
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 13: I mean, it's the worst thing since I see everyone's

491
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 13: saying since World War Two. By far, there's nothing even close.

492
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 13: But we had a very good meeting today and I

493
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:21,679
Speaker 13: think a lot of points were negotiated on behalf of

494
00:28:21,880 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 13: Ukraine and on behalf of the whole NATO situation where

495
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:28,600
Speaker 13: we're dealing very well with a lot of foreign countries

496
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,160
Speaker 13: that are great European countries.

497
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 5: So look, as far as I'm concerned.

498
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,239
Speaker 13: There's no deal until there's a deal, But we did

499
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 13: make a lot of progress.

500
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:45,360
Speaker 1: It was during the Biden presidency that the Putin invasion

501
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: of southeastern Ukraine along the border, along the entire eastern

502
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:57,080
Speaker 1: border with Russia occurred, and Putin said at the summit

503
00:28:58,040 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: on Friday that if Trump had been president, there would

504
00:29:02,320 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 1: have been no invasion. There is a consequence to incompetence.

505
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 1: There is a consequence to elections, and that is one

506
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: of them. We have no business being involved in that war,

507
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 1: and certainly not to the extent that we have. The

508
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: American people have funded what is, in effect, by mid

509
00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:33,719
Speaker 1: eighties standards, a massive civil war. The intricacies between the

510
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: Ukrainians and the Russians are extensive. It's a very very

511
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:50,400
Speaker 1: complicated matter. But either way, a war that is chosen

512
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: between those countries is not an American war and we

513
00:29:56,160 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: should not be funding it. We big budget once a year,

514
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 1: and then I constantly revise it, and we sit down

515
00:30:06,840 --> 00:30:12,200
Speaker 1: credit cards, bank records, checkbook, and we go through every expense.

516
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: Who paid for this this amount. It's a very uncomfortable

517
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: thing for people to have to go through. If we

518
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:23,880
Speaker 1: did that with the federal government, if the American people

519
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:29,000
Speaker 1: knew what you are paying for. So the question, well,

520
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,239
Speaker 1: Putin's got the better hand here. Putin's the one who

521
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: decides whether there will be a war or not. And

522
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 1: Marco Rubio is right when he makes that point. You've

523
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: got to say that you have to give him his due,

524
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,640
Speaker 1: that he is in charge of whether this war continues

525
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:45,959
Speaker 1: or not.

526
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,040
Speaker 15: You're not going to have a peace agreement between Russia

527
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:51,600
Speaker 15: and Ukraine.

528
00:30:51,600 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 5: You're not going to end a war between.

529
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 15: Russia and Ukraine without dealing with Putin. That's just common sense.

530
00:30:58,240 --> 00:31:00,520
Speaker 15: I should even have to say it, so people can

531
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:03,080
Speaker 15: say whatever they want. Ultimately, at the end of the day,

532
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 15: we have to get the Russian side to agree to

533
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 15: things that they don't want to agree to if we're

534
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 15: going to have peace. If not, they'll just be a war.

535
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 15: They'll keep killing each other and life will go on

536
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 15: in America and in the rest of the world, but

537
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,960
Speaker 15: not for Ukraine. So the President has invested a lot

538
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 15: of time in trying to bring an end to this war.

539
00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 15: He deserves credit for doing that. He gets criticism for

540
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 15: doing that. He could just let this war go on.

541
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 15: The President could have just said this is Biden's war.

542
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:26,360
Speaker 5: It started under him.

543
00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:28,280
Speaker 15: We'll do what we can for Ukraine, but we're going

544
00:31:28,320 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 15: to focus on other things. He could have easily said that,

545
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:31,800
Speaker 15: But he's.

546
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 5: The only leader in the world.

547
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 15: Final if we get pert into a meeting to talk

548
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:35,479
Speaker 15: about serious things.

549
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:37,040
Speaker 2: Just just a final point here.

550
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 1: So at this point, even though he demanded sanctions, no sanctions,

551
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: no ceasefire, and no deadlines.

552
00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 15: Well, but ultimately, first of all about deadlines. The deadline

553
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:49,720
Speaker 15: is as soon as possible. We want this war to

554
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:51,560
Speaker 15: end as soon as possible. I mean, that's why we're

555
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,600
Speaker 15: working on it. In terms of sanctions. Look, at the

556
00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 15: end of the day, if we can't reach a peace

557
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 15: agreement here and this war continues and so forth, then

558
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 15: I anticipate you'll see the President take further action. He's

559
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 15: already made that clear. The problem is this, let's let's

560
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 15: use our heads here. The problem is this. The minute

561
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 15: you levy additional sanctions, strong additional sanctions, the talking stops
