And 6 00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:24,599 Speaker 1: if you weren't listening yesterday morning, that sent me an email, 7 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:27,880 Speaker 1: just a random email. No no, no, no, that that 8 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,159 Speaker 1: was from Scott Kutauch. Never mind. But what spurred the 9 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,519 Speaker 1: conversation was it my friends got Kutach had sent a 10 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 1: picture of Teddbiassi in a tuxedo with dollar signs on 11 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 1: it and said, uh, jyd Junkyard dog was at was 12 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: a groomsman in Ted Dibiassi's wedding. You know, isn't that interesting? 13 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,639 Speaker 1: Or whatever else? And then that got us going. So Jay, 14 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: who writes, So somebody walked to my office right after 15 00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: I emailed you about Ted Dibiassi, and I didn't get 16 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 1: to listen to the rest of the segment until I 17 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: heard the podcast earlier this morning. I had the chance 18 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: encounter with Joseph Bednarski, that's Ivan Putski about ten years 19 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 1: ago when I was working as a property claims adjuster. 20 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: I had a roof claim by Joe Bednarski. I showed 21 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,039 Speaker 1: up at this unassuming house in South Austin, and I 22 00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: had no clue who I was going to meet. The 23 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: old feller in the satin jacket that I met in 24 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,959 Speaker 1: the driveway was in his seventies and maybe five five 25 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty pounds. He had a roof leak and 26 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 1: took me inside to see the damage. We walked through 27 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:39,960 Speaker 1: this converted garage that was covered in dozens and dozens 28 00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,760 Speaker 1: of framed photos of this hulked up guy posing with 29 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:47,160 Speaker 1: all the big names from wrestling and pop culture of 30 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: the seventies and eighties. I stopped to look and he says, 31 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: you recognize that guy? And I said yes, I do. 32 00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: And he said I said, yes I do. That's the 33 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: Polish hammer and he says, yeah, that's me. Mind blown. 34 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: We talked for over an hour, the sweetest old guy. 35 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,360 Speaker 1: He told me that his family fled Poland when he 36 00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: was just a baby and settled in Smithville. His dad 37 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,600 Speaker 1: got a janitorial job or something like that. He played 38 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: high school football and got a scholarship to Texas A 39 00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,519 Speaker 1: and I and then Canadian football, and then he got 40 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: into wrestling. So often we missed a chance and never 41 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: know who that old guy was, and about how and 42 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: about the life well lived. Sorry for the email. Much 43 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: love from Jayhu. Yeah, that's so true. That is so true. 44 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:44,560 Speaker 1: It's amazing how there are fascinating people who've done fascinating 45 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 1: things and now they may not have that as their 46 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:53,080 Speaker 1: day job anymore, because we all age, we're not the 47 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: person we once were. But that person has the best 48 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 1: stories and the time to tell him. There was a 49 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,679 Speaker 1: Live Nation used to be part of the company that 50 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: owns our show, which is iHeartMedia, and before that, Clear 51 00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: Channel and Live Nation was the concert portion of the show. 52 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 1: And there was a man in town whose name was 53 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,640 Speaker 1: Alan Becker. And Alan Becker's best friend is like a 54 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: second dad to me, Barry Lewis, and Alan Becker's son, 55 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,720 Speaker 1: Brian Becker, was the head of Live Nation, the CEO 56 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: of the biggest concert company in the world. And Alan 57 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: would always try to get his son to meet with 58 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,480 Speaker 1: me because Alan took a liking to me and he 59 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: wanted his son to be friends with me. And he 60 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: would say, call Brian and tell him, and I've told 61 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 1: him and y'all need to go to lunch, y'all need 62 00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: to be friends. And this would go on, and it 63 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 1: would be awkward because every time I would see Alan, 64 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: he would ask me if I had spent any time 65 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,680 Speaker 1: with Brian. And finally, at some point Brian gave me 66 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 1: fifteen minutes. I went in his office and do you 67 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 1: need anything? No, he's a check. No, there's no ask 68 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: Your dad wanted us to be friends, and I'm happy 69 00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: to in our office in the same building with him. 70 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 1: Two thousand West Loop. And it just fit with what 71 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: I've always said is that folks that were my age 72 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: coming up never had time to really invest in other relationships. 73 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 1: Everything was transactional because they're trying to You get an 74 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: older guy who's retired, and on the backside, they'll take time, 75 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 1: they'll do things for you. It's amazing how it works. 76 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,799 Speaker 1: The Michael Mary Shaw the city council City of Houton, 77 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 1: or the City of Houston under Silvester Turner as its mayor, 78 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: was a cesspool of crime. You had this cabal. Sheila 79 00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:01,159 Speaker 1: Jackson Lee as the congressman, so she was doing her 80 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: best to run the federal side of these things. Sylvester 81 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 1: Turner as the mayor, so he's got the big pot 82 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 1: of money in the city of Houston. And then you 83 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,880 Speaker 1: got Rodney Ellis at the county. Of course he put 84 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 1: his person in as county judge and then kick Jack 85 00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: Cagle out. There is no degree of shame for these people, 86 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: nothing to hold them back. Just steal, just corrupt as 87 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: all get out. KPRC TV's Amy Davis has done a 88 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:37,480 Speaker 1: wonderful job exposing a lot of the corruption in these 89 00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: investigative reports she's been doing. The Houston Housing Authority, You'll 90 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 1: remember they had a fellow named David Northern who was 91 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 1: the head of it. So he was a black guy 92 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 1: who appears to have been just a stooge for Rodney 93 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:59,600 Speaker 1: Ellis and Sylvester Turner. And then it turned out that 94 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 1: one of the things that Amy Davis revealed was that 95 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: there was this project for all these this public housing 96 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: and they were supposed to they were supposed to green 97 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: energy thing. They were gonna they were gonna seal these 98 00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 1: houses up. They're gonna put air conditioning and seal them 99 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 1: up so they wouldn't leave and then be more energy efficient. 100 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: And the guy they hired was some dude from Chicago 101 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:33,680 Speaker 1: who was supposed clothing designer. He'd never done anything like this, 102 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: and he gets paid millions of dollars and they pull 103 00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 1: up on the scene of one of these projects. He 104 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: had supposedly finished their air conditioning units out out in 105 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 1: the yard. He couldn't figure out how to install an 106 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,280 Speaker 1: You can't believe this would possibly be true, but it is. 107 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: That's the amazing thing. Well. Amy Davis's report finds that 108 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,840 Speaker 1: a close friend of mister Northern, who was head of 109 00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 1: the Houston Housing Authority, Chris Senegal, bought the Pleasant Grove 110 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 1: Missionary Baptist Church property known as the Dome Church at 111 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: fifty nine to ten for six point seven million dollars 112 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:13,440 Speaker 1: in December of twenty twenty.

A cynical person might say, 323 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:10,600 Speaker 1: what if all six point seven that was supposedly paid 324 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:16,400 Speaker 1: to the church didn't stay with the church. What if 325 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:19,960 Speaker 1: that property wasn't worth three hundred thousand dollars? What was 326 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,880 Speaker 1: that property?

We already 328 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,919 Speaker 1: know that the score by the housing Authority for the 329 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 1: property as to amenability to being a public housing was 330 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,200 Speaker 1: a fifty four out of one hundred, which is apparently 331 00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:47,000 Speaker 1: quite low. So why was it purchased and why was 332 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:51,560 Speaker 1: it purchased If it was scored low? It was scored 333 00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:57,560 Speaker 1: low so nobody would swoop in and buy it, and 334 00:20:57,640 --> 00:21:03,679 Speaker 1: then it was purchased for the sole purpose of making 335 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,119 Speaker 1: the profit two years later. But a cynical person might say, 336 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,280 Speaker 1: what if all that money didn't go to the church. 337 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 1: What if that property that was only worth I don't know, 338 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: five hundred thousand dollars a six point seven million dollars 339 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: purchase price. Part of that was kicked back to some people. 340 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 1: So the profit, short term profit on this deal was 341 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:28,200 Speaker 1: far more than it looks like on paper. Why I'm 342 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:29,119 Speaker 1: gonna talk. 343 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:29,440 Speaker 2: To you. 344 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:39,160 Speaker 1: About about a situation that that was made. 345 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 3: I don't hear it.

Give me that again. 353 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:05,960 Speaker 3: I don't have what's need to be talking to you 354 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:11,240 Speaker 3: about a situation and that we made and we carry 355 00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:16,520 Speaker 3: it out. 356 00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:25,359 Speaker 1: Hey, were you negotiating your exit from this position while 357 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,160 Speaker 1: you were still employed on company time? 358 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:31,199 Speaker 3: Let me talking to you about a situation and that 359 00:22:32,160 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 3: we made and we carry it out. 360 00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:46,080 Speaker 1: There is an allegation that you and miss Lewinsky are 361 00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: known to each other in the biblical sense. Is it's true? 362 00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 3: What I don't have what's need to be talking to 363 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:59,000 Speaker 3: you about a situation and that we made and we 364 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,159 Speaker 3: carry it out. 365 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 1: Scott writes, maybe we should also wonder how much and 366 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:08,639 Speaker 1: to whom the contract to clear the property was awarded to. 367 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:15,160 Speaker 1: Let me tell you were on the right track. If 368 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:21,119 Speaker 1: you look at City, Houston, Harris County, Metro, all of these, 369 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,480 Speaker 1: and you look at where money is spent from the 370 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:31,560 Speaker 1: law firm that does the bond deal to the mowing contract. 371 00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 1: And for some reason it seems like there is always 372 00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:41,119 Speaker 1: more corruption for things that are overtly for poor people, 373 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:46,480 Speaker 1: you know, food programs and housing programs and low income 374 00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:55,600 Speaker 1: neighborhood stuff. You'll remember under Sylvester Turner there was a 375 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 1: lady who was put in charge of the water department 376 00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:03,399 Speaker 1: within public worse and she had no idea what she 377 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:08,560 Speaker 1: was doing. And remember they were sending out water bills 378 00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 1: to people and it would be a six seven eight. 379 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 1: It was a fourteen thousand dollars water bill in one case. 380 00:24:15,119 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 1: And unlike a lot of credit cards, you could float 381 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:24,000 Speaker 1: for a while. But in this case they in this case, 382 00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:30,280 Speaker 1: I can't find my glasses, Jim, oh, well, in this case, 383 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:36,120 Speaker 1: they shut off your water. So you're in a bit 384 00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:40,639 Speaker 1: of a panic. If you can't you can't find, you can't, 385 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,720 Speaker 1: you can't pay your bill right off. You're you're in 386 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 1: a bad way because you can't, you know, while you 387 00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:53,000 Speaker 1: negotiate with it. Hey, I normally have an eighty dollars 388 00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,640 Speaker 1: water bill, and in this month at six thousand dollars, 389 00:24:55,760 --> 00:24:58,360 Speaker 1: and I've had two plumbers come out, and there's no league. 390 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 1: There's a problem who knows exactly what happened. They're all 391 00:25:05,320 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: sorts of different answers, but they go straight to the television, 392 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,720 Speaker 1: to the TV reporters, and these stories start appearing, and 393 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,119 Speaker 1: so then they dig into who the woman is, who's 394 00:25:16,160 --> 00:25:20,359 Speaker 1: in charge of it all, And all the while they're 395 00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:22,680 Speaker 1: telling people, you know, don't water your yard you we're 396 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:26,320 Speaker 1: short on water, don't do this. Pressure's down. And then 397 00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: there are water mains that are busted and just gushing 398 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:36,920 Speaker 1: rivers into the roads, just gushing rivers of water into 399 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,320 Speaker 1: the roads, while they're telling everybody else don't use your 400 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 1: water because we're short on water and we're low on pressure. 401 00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:48,880 Speaker 1: And all the while everybody's thinking, what in the hell 402 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 1: is going on? And then they get the woman. They 403 00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: finally corner the woman and she starts crying, and she 404 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,240 Speaker 1: basically gives this sort of sob story like it's not 405 00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 1: my fall, I shouldn't have been in this job, I 406 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 1: don't know what I'm doing. That's reassuring. And then we 407 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:10,639 Speaker 1: find out that her brother, she's given a contract to 408 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 1: her brother. He's going to be the guy that was 409 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 1: going to fix the water mains. And at some point 410 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:20,679 Speaker 1: they show up and they start asking him questions about, 411 00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:22,680 Speaker 1: you know, these projects that he got, none of which 412 00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:26,600 Speaker 1: have been completed, but he's been paid exorbitant amounts of 413 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:30,480 Speaker 1: money to do so. And it turns out he doesn't 414 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,399 Speaker 1: even own a truck. That was what his defense was, 415 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 1: I don't know what I'm doing. I don't even own 416 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,400 Speaker 1: a truck. I'm not sure how that would change anything, 417 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,240 Speaker 1: but it definitely reflected the fact that he was probably 418 00:26:42,280 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 1: not out working on water mains. Lord knows what he 419 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:51,080 Speaker 1: was doing. Somewhere across town. Some dude was was ordering 420 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 1: corvasier doubles like a boss during the day, and people 421 00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,359 Speaker 1: will say, wonder what he does for a living, Wonder 422 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: how him, Wonder how him to make money? 423 00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 2: I don't have. 424 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 3: What's the need to be talking to you about a 425 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 3: situation that we made and we carry it out. 426 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:13,879 Speaker 1: City of Houston officials up very upset, outraged. It's been 427 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:19,400 Speaker 1: described as are Harris County commissioners, state reps, state senators. 428 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,760 Speaker 1: Oh yes, they're all very outraged. Now. No, no, not 429 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:27,680 Speaker 1: over millions of dollars squandered and continually squandered. No, that's 430 00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:33,320 Speaker 1: not to worry. They're very upset, not over the fact 431 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 1: that story ran last week of a woman that her 432 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 1: vehicle was destroyed. She drove across a five foot long pothole, 433 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 1: so it was like a crater. I'm not worried about 434 00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,679 Speaker 1: that either. Crime rate, and I don't worry about all 435 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:51,880 Speaker 1: that taxes, bond rating, none of that. They're very upset, 436 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 1: very upset that they had painted a rainbow in the 437 00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 1: crosswalk in Montrose and it has been ordered to be removed. 438 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 1: You can't have political paintings in the middle of the 439 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 1: street on the asphalt. And John Whitmer says, there's probably 440 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:18,640 Speaker 1: a young man in Pasadena this morning, a gay young 441 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 1: man that hasn't come out of the closet, and the 442 00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:25,760 Speaker 1: rainbow means something to him. It's not just the Montrose community, 443 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 1: it's our region, it's our state, it's our society. Is 444 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:37,320 Speaker 1: he driving over to Montrose? Is he driving through the 445 00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 1: intersection in Montrose? Is he gonna stop and back up 446 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:47,040 Speaker 1: in the intersection over the rainbow crosswalk. 447 00:28:48,760 --> 00:28:51,960 Speaker 6: I don't know what I'm gonna do. I'm a queer 448 00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,800 Speaker 6: as a three dollar bill. My daddy's gonna hate me. 449 00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:59,959 Speaker 6: My mother's gonna be so disappointed.
