1
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:08,520
Speaker 1: It's that time wooks.

2
00:00:09,039 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 2: Sorry, we apologize for the technical issues. Due to the

3
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:17,320
Speaker 2: severely cold weather. We have to defrost the Michael Berry Show.

4
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,159
Speaker 2: Is there a bottle of bourbon around here? No, this

5
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 2: old hair dryer should do. There we go, all right,

6
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 2: come on, warm up, warm out there we go to

7
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:32,160
Speaker 2: Michael very shery.

8
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 3: Okay, there we go boom, fully locked and loaded and

9
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 3: short nights still get in the mac.

10
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,440
Speaker 2: We gotta feeding bed.

11
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: I don't plan of shame, and it's you've the thing.

12
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:56,520
Speaker 3: But I just gotta seem una right.

13
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: Will you come mix.

14
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 3: Stee the drink the drug snool just turn outright.

15
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: Ins to the market with over eleven inches of snow. Wow,

16
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: that is a lot of snow. And here we are.

17
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: It is cold in Texas, and we don't do cold.

18
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 1: The Yankees do, the Dallas folks and when you get

19
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: up near the Panhandle. But the rest of us, no,

20
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: we're not. We're not built for that. All we ramon,

21
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,959
Speaker 1: we are not built for that. We are delighted to

22
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: have you here. Get another cup of coffee, put another

23
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 1: log on the fire. We will be with you, of course,

24
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: all day. Live less than a thousand homes in the

25
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 1: Houston area are without power. As a six am, seven

26
00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty three these Center Point customers throughout the

27
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: Houston area are without power. The story from KPRCTV those

28
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: outages are very low this morning.

29
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 4: More than ninety nine percent of Centerpoint customers across the

30
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,519
Speaker 4: greater Houston area have power are sitting in warm homes

31
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 4: this morning. Centerpoint Energy gave what they said would be

32
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 4: their final briefing on their response to this freeze at

33
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 4: four point thirty yesterday afternoon, and.

34
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: This is what they said.

35
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 4: They say they do still have about twenty nine hundred

36
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 4: crews staged ready to respond to any outages, but they

37
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 4: released five hundred linemen from other states who were here

38
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 4: to help local crews. Those contractors are now headed to

39
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 4: harder hit areas.

40
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: But let's take a look at the overall.

41
00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 4: Outages right at this minute. This is the Center Point

42
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 4: outage tracker and it shows that currently they have six

43
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 4: hundred and fifty six customers without power. That is fewer

44
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,399
Speaker 4: outages than the tracker shows just on a normal day

45
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,520
Speaker 4: with no weather problems. Now, most of these cases these

46
00:02:53,560 --> 00:02:56,520
Speaker 4: outages are in small groups. We see that there are

47
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 4: eleven up in the Green's Point area eighteen of West

48
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 4: Houston right over that Sugarland area actually, and the biggest

49
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 4: clusters that we see are in Magnolia in a task casita.

50
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 4: And then we're not down in Jamaica beach. Down there.

51
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 4: You see that green lightning bolt. That means that they

52
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 4: are about fifty customers without power there.

53
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 1: So the CEO, I'm sure is very happy rubbing his

54
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: hands together. He's going to get that big bonus this year.

55
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: Nobody would be questioning how much money he makes. That

56
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: was inconvenient, wasn't it. Nobody knew how much money that

57
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: dude was making in for what they paid the big

58
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: money to bring him here. And by the measure of

59
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: the consumer, they weren't doing their job. But of course

60
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: they were not rating his success based on what they

61
00:03:53,840 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: did for the consumer. It's interesting. There was a kind

62
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 1: of a pop culture critic, fellow, whatever you want to

63
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: call him, and he wrote a book and using the

64
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:16,200
Speaker 1: word for crap that we can't say by FCC regulations,

65
00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: so I use crap instead. And he's the one who

66
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:27,200
Speaker 1: kind of popularized the term the crapification of America. But

67
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 1: of course he used actually the in crapification een and

68
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: then the SHI and he talked about how apps and

69
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 1: different pieces of computer technology have been designed. This is

70
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,240
Speaker 1: a different phase of quote unquote customer service have been

71
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: designed so that your experience once they have you locked in,

72
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: is unpleasant, and they can get paid more to make

73
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: the experience less unpleasant. It's another way to increase revenues.

74
00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: But the bigger question is at what point did we

75
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: tolerate such poor customer service? And I've certainly witnessed it

76
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: in my lifetime, to the point that the standards are

77
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 1: so low that people don't even really get angry. They

78
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,359
Speaker 1: just expect businesses to be terrible. It's like voters in

79
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:30,159
Speaker 1: majority black districts expect a Shila Jackson Lee. They expect

80
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:34,919
Speaker 1: a Sylvester Turner, they expect an Al Green. They're not

81
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,600
Speaker 1: shocked by it, they're not bothered by it. They assume

82
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: politicians are awful because that's all they've ever known, and

83
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: so they're not bothered. That's why they stand by their

84
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: politician when he's caught taking money or committing a crime

85
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:55,680
Speaker 1: or doing something awful. They expected that. I think that

86
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: was a real wake up call that consumers became so

87
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: angry and the politicians very eager for their moment in

88
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:06,279
Speaker 1: the limelight, jumped on that and there were hearings and

89
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 1: it got very, very unpleasant for elected officials, and that's

90
00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: a good thing. Fox twenty six has the story about

91
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 1: Montgomery County hit a bit harder with down power lines,

92
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:23,280
Speaker 1: power outages, and a neighborhood without running water, affecting several

93
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: hundred residents.

94
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 5: Do you see just right there that is the utility

95
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 5: pole that actually was also helping power the Emergency Services Center.

96
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,359
Speaker 5: They are now on a generator right now, and you

97
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 5: can see just across the street from there, there's also

98
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,920
Speaker 5: being work on another utility pole nearby. And first we're

99
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 5: showing you all of these because not only is this

100
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 5: affecting emergency services here for Montgomery County, it's also affecting

101
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 5: a nearby neighborhood several hundred residences. They say the emergency

102
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,800
Speaker 5: management team went to check on generators at the airport

103
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 5: and found this poll down.

104
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 1: Entergy has been notified.

105
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 5: And crews are working to restore power to the effects

106
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 5: did homes and facilities, But right now a generator is

107
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 5: helping power those emergencies the Emergency Operations Center, and we

108
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 5: actually drove through that neighborhood where people were without power.

109
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: There were some folks.

110
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,400
Speaker 5: Sitting in their cars with the engine running in the

111
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 5: driveway just to try and stay warm until power could

112
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 5: be restored. We know crews are trying to get that

113
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 5: done before midnight tonight to make sure that those people

114
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 5: are not going too long without electricity. And in Lexington

115
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 5: Heights and Willis Cruz were out distributing bottled water to

116
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 5: residents who were without running water. That's due to a

117
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 5: mechanical failure at their neighborhood water well. So officials say

118
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 5: they're in contact with the utility provider. They're staying on

119
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 5: top of restoration.

120
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 1: I always worry about the elderly at a time like this,

121
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: I know, I know we all do. If someone did

122
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: something very nice to you for you during this time,

123
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 1: and you would like to remind us that there is

124
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:03,600
Speaker 1: good in our world, if not the greater world, feel

125
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: free to call us seven one three nine nine nine

126
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: one thousand seven one three nine nine nine one thousand.

127
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: There are acts of kindness out there being done for

128
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: our neighbors in need at a time like that, and

129
00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: it is good to remember that. But it's not surprising

130
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: that to who you are now now world like black Night,

131
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: when you need to escape from the every day escape

132
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: of the Michael Very Show portrait. Poor Ted Cruse, he

133
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:39,839
Speaker 1: cannot catch a break, that fella. The media still brings

134
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: up that Ted Cruz traveled to Cancun during the twenty

135
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: twenty one freeze, despite the fact that senators don't play

136
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: a role in local storms. But it doesn't matter. People

137
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: that don't like Ted Cruz and some who are indifferent

138
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: saw that as he needs to be here there's a

139
00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: storm coming, we're nervous. But the reality is you don't

140
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: know where John Cornan is. You don't know where your

141
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: US senator is during a storm because no one expects

142
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: them to be in your state because they don't have

143
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: any administrative authority. Well, we might need the federal government.

144
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: If you think the governor calls the US Senator before

145
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 1: they call the national emergency. You have no clue how

146
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 1: this works. But it doesn't matter because people don't have

147
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: any idea how any of this works. And there's poor

148
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 1: old Ted Cruz and it is it's horrible, it's horrible.

149
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: There is that unflattering picture of him at the airport

150
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:52,680
Speaker 1: with the red white and blue mask on and pulling

151
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:56,679
Speaker 1: his luggage that somebody took. And I'm going to tell

152
00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 1: you we have all had a bad day. You just

153
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: hope you weren't caught on a camera when you did,

154
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: because that one that just will not go away for

155
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:18,680
Speaker 1: that fellow. I will say this. The two individuals I

156
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: have said for years with the most tenacity that they

157
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,440
Speaker 1: can get knocked down and get back up no matter

158
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 1: how bad it is, and how many other people would

159
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: running hide, were Ted Cruz and Bill Clinton because they

160
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: would keep getting knocked down. I would say that is

161
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,839
Speaker 1: true of Trump. But Trump never really got knocked down.

162
00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: I never felt that there was a moment that you

163
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: just cringed and went uh. There was the open mic

164
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: Billy Bush audio, but that was just male bravado. As

165
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: when Trump came out and said that's locker room talk.

166
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,200
Speaker 1: I think that's what most people saw it as locker

167
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 1: room talk. Trump has a ah. They used to call

168
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:08,800
Speaker 1: uh Ronald Reagan teflon Ron or the Teflon run like

169
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: the Teflon don because nothing stuck to him. Ramona, did

170
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 1: you ever cook with teflon? Oh man? I remember when

171
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: Teflon came out. We'd been using iron skillets, and I

172
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 1: remember frying an egg and telling my mom, boy, this teflon,

173
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 1: this is the deal man. You could just glide your

174
00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: little spatula across. And then it was a really big deal.

175
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,320
Speaker 1: You weren't allowed to use the old metal stuff anymore.

176
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: You had to use the plastic on the teflon so

177
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 1: you didn't scrape it off. And then once you did

178
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: dig into that teflon and there was oh, it was

179
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 1: a big deal. Oh yeah. Nevertheless, the Dallas County Democrat

180
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: judge who is the head of emergency operations for the county,

181
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: Clay Lewis, left for Costa Rica before the storm. Did

182
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 1: I mention he's the head of emergency operations for the county.

183
00:12:02,559 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: Remember when the head of the emergency operations for Harris

184
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:10,960
Speaker 1: County was in the nuthouse for months and they didn't

185
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 1: want to criticize because, oh, mental health problems. That's one

186
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 1: of those things we're not supposed to criticize. All you

187
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,560
Speaker 1: have to do is say mental health problems, and everybody says, oh, no,

188
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 1: you can't criticize that. Okay, Well let's try this on

189
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 1: for size. You're mad at C. J. Stroud for the

190
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: horrible game he played that cost you going to the

191
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,160
Speaker 1: next round of the playoffs, and the horrible game he

192
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: played before that. You're mad about it, Well, guess what.

193
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,960
Speaker 1: He's got mental health problems. Shame on you for criticizing him.

194
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 1: How dare you criticize him for that? Oh? Oh, you

195
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 1: mean people might use that as an excuse, so they

196
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:57,480
Speaker 1: don't have any accountability. Oh you mean we should still

197
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:01,320
Speaker 1: care about consequences. Chief of State aff Lauren Trimble to

198
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: the Dallas County Democrat Judge Clay Lewis said in a

199
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:09,080
Speaker 1: statement to the Dallas Morning News that Jenkins' trip was

200
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 1: quote scheduled months ago. Oh, scheduled months ago. Oh, so

201
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 1: when the schedule was made, they didn't know about the storm.

202
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: So anything that comes up after the schedule has made

203
00:13:27,120 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 1: ramon the schedule, they you still have to go to

204
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,840
Speaker 1: Costa Rica. She declined to say when the Democrat will

205
00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:36,120
Speaker 1: return or whether he considered canceling his trip as the

206
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: storm developed. Because he's a Democrat, you don't see a

207
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: whole lot of coverage from the Texas media, even though

208
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: the position he holds during a natural disaster is the

209
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: actual final decision maker on actual local emergency operations. And

210
00:13:56,800 --> 00:14:00,720
Speaker 1: then there's poor Cruise who what he should have said

211
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: was I'm not needed in the storm. That's the reality.

212
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,680
Speaker 1: I will humbly tell you I'm not needed to be

213
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,960
Speaker 1: here during a storm. Now, maybe people think they do

214
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,439
Speaker 1: because politician Sheila Jackson Lee was the worst of them.

215
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 1: Love to go over to the emergency center, and they

216
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: love to put on a jacket, oh Urman jacket emergency operations,

217
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: and they love at a press conference to all try

218
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: to get up there and talk about how we're rooting

219
00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 1: on the fellows out there doing their job. And for

220
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: all the rooting and tooting it's being done. The guy

221
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,680
Speaker 1: that never gets any credit during all of this is

222
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: the poor sap out there in the cold, who's wet,

223
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: out there in the cold, who's all alone. And everybody

224
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: loves to criticize everyone throughout all of it. There's the

225
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,000
Speaker 1: CEO of Center Point making what was it seven or

226
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,680
Speaker 1: eight million dollars that was a wake up call. I

227
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: mean people were shocked at the money. And they brought

228
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: him from what was it Pacific Light It was it

229
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: was an agency or an organization in California that had

230
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: already been under fire and he's coming here making all

231
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 1: this money, and then you see the poor SAPs out there,

232
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: the linemen, those guys they've released, the linemen who've come

233
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: from other states. That's one of the coolest things you see.

234
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: That's something that still works in this country, that linemen.

235
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: You know, these are everyday workaday guys that are coming

236
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: from Louisiana. There's nothing I like seeing better than those,

237
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 1: Like a convoy of those guys. Every one of you

238
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: guys out there. I hope you go into a restaurant

239
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: this morning. You're way home to your state, and I

240
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: hope the owner says, I got you, Bud. Listen to

241
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: the zones. Two eggs over medium, bacon, grants, toast, coffee,

242
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 1: large grape fruit juice on me. Resident Trump on the

243
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: Minnesota border patrol shooting of the man who was interfering

244
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,080
Speaker 1: with their operations. Quote, we're looking, we're reviewing everything, and

245
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:07,359
Speaker 1: will come out with a determination. The President has dispatched

246
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:13,760
Speaker 1: Tom Homan to Minnesota, a man highly honored with the

247
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: highest honor the president can give by Barack Obama ten

248
00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 1: years ago. I assume that he will be treated with

249
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:30,200
Speaker 1: respect and reverence and a sense that he has forgotten

250
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: more about this issue than anyone in the media will

251
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:37,400
Speaker 1: ever know. So Tom Holman will be riding in there

252
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: sending in the wolf. As for my opinion on the issue,

253
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,720
Speaker 1: I'm not going to do what some of you woosies

254
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 1: have already been very keen to do and jump up

255
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: and say I'm for issen, I'm not for protesting. But

256
00:16:54,720 --> 00:17:04,240
Speaker 1: this was indefensible because deep down, deep down, in the

257
00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: sinews of your mind, you still want the left to

258
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 1: think that you're not a bad person. I can't tell

259
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 1: you how many people reached out to me and said,

260
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 1: I can't believe you're not condemning the murder of George Floyd. Well,

261
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: I don't know that he was murdered. Looks to me

262
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,960
Speaker 1: like some sort of overdose. He's had an overdose before

263
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: when an officer came upon him where he threw the

264
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:43,320
Speaker 1: drugs down his throat and began spassing and he was hospitalized,

265
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: and that happened a matter of less than two months

266
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:51,920
Speaker 1: before this happened, and he said he couldn't breathe while

267
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: he was still inside the vehicle, not with a knee

268
00:17:55,600 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 1: on his neck. Well, this just looks bad. I've reviewed

269
00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 1: the video. Good Grief you deserve to lose to the

270
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:12,159
Speaker 1: left because deep down, what you care about most is

271
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 1: that what they say of you not be true, and

272
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: that they admit it. It is the weakness of the

273
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:28,560
Speaker 1: American right that deep down they want, they desperately crave,

274
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,920
Speaker 1: the approval of the people who call them racists and

275
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 1: misogynists and xenophobes. And they figure if they can just

276
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:44,520
Speaker 1: self flagellate enough times, somebody on the left will say

277
00:18:44,600 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 1: he doesn't agree with us, but he's one of the

278
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: good ones. I don't know what happened. I don't know

279
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:58,000
Speaker 1: all the context within which you've seen a steel frame

280
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:02,199
Speaker 1: or ABC's minute, I'm in it. Here's what I do know.

281
00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: What I do know is the left, including the media,

282
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:11,679
Speaker 1: do not want people deported. I know that, and I

283
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 1: know they have tried everything to prevent people from getting

284
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 1: deported everything. And I know that every person who confronts

285
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: a police officer, whether and everyone who makes a claim

286
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: five year old child, well, actually he was abandoned in

287
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:39,800
Speaker 1: the officer was saving him. Oh well, well they shot

288
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 1: the woman who is a sweet mother of three really

289
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: only one because she lost custody for two children because

290
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: her lesbian girlfriend was burning them with cigarettes, and she

291
00:19:55,920 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 1: was trying to run the officer over. She wasn't she

292
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,359
Speaker 1: She's just wanted to leave from the situation where she

293
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:08,200
Speaker 1: insinuated herself hardly. She was trying to run him over.

294
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: He should know better than to stand in front of

295
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:18,320
Speaker 1: the vehicle. He was hospitalized with internal injuries. Well, George Floyd,

296
00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: is it not right? You do whatever makes you feel good,

297
00:20:24,040 --> 00:20:26,160
Speaker 1: and you keep waiting for the pat on the head

298
00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: from the people who will destroy you. And they will

299
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: destroy you. They will stop it. Nothing short. We start

300
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: with the idea that the deportations are lawful. We start

301
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,879
Speaker 1: with the idea that we have immigration laws for a reason.

302
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,719
Speaker 1: And for years you believed the left is not in

303
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 1: favor of increasing legal immigration. They just want to be real.

304
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: They want to have a comprehensive immigration plan. Yes, yes,

305
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: we'll have a comprehensive immigration plan. Does that include removing

306
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,919
Speaker 1: people that broke the law to get here? Well, you know,

307
00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: these are dreamers, and these are people and they're part

308
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 1: of our community. They're here illegally. Oh, we can't afford to.

309
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: They're too ingrained in our economy. They're good people, they're

310
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:22,880
Speaker 1: the best among us. All of those lines, And it's

311
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 1: not nuntil Trump forced the hand. Why was this man

312
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:35,919
Speaker 1: in the middle of an ice operation that too armed? Well,

313
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 1: I'm second amendment, Michael, I am too. Try to second

314
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 1: amendment your ass in to a meeting with Trump in

315
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: his office and tell me if you get to second

316
00:21:46,840 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 1: amendment your ass through the gates into his office, in

317
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: front of his in front of his desk. How about this.

318
00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,440
Speaker 1: Did the people get to second amendment their way into

319
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 1: the Capitol on January sixth because they weren't armed. One

320
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:09,439
Speaker 1: of them, a female doctor, was guilty of the horrible

321
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:13,359
Speaker 1: crime because we have video of it of her standing

322
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: inside the Capitol reading the Bill of Rights or the

323
00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 1: Declaration of Independence. That's just threatening as it gets, isn't it.

324
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:27,199
Speaker 1: And one of them, one of them, technically two, but

325
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 1: one of them in particular, was guilty and did time

326
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:38,400
Speaker 1: for the unpardonable sin of putting his shoes on Nancy

327
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 1: Pelosi's desk. How dare you defile the very desk where

328
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: insider trading orders are placed? And oh, the people on

329
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 1: our side, so many of the people on our side,

330
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:57,160
Speaker 1: some of them the same people who rushed to get

331
00:22:57,160 --> 00:23:00,879
Speaker 1: the shot, told me I was crazy and sounded like

332
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: some sort of a coup. Oh did they ever rush

333
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 1: to tell us that this was the end of it?

334
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:10,400
Speaker 1: The January sixth riots. I don't believe anything the left

335
00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: tells us an ever period. End of story. Michael Detisho unhinged,

336
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: violent liberal goons swarmed a Minneapolis hotel they believed was

337
00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 1: housing ICE agents. They threw items at people inside, They

338
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: smashed the windows, They graffitied f ICE across the building's

339
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:44,520
Speaker 1: facade in large letters. The employees had to barricade themselves inside,

340
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:49,080
Speaker 1: using two large vending machines to physically block the crowd

341
00:23:49,280 --> 00:23:54,400
Speaker 1: from entering. I don't want to hear about a guy

342
00:23:54,440 --> 00:24:00,400
Speaker 1: who obstructed ICE operations while wearing a gun. You ended

343
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: up dead. You're free to make clear to me and insist.

344
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 1: Did I be as torn up as you are about it?

345
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:13,400
Speaker 1: Show me one person on the left that's ever apologized

346
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:18,879
Speaker 1: for any of this nonsense. Do ICE agents deserve what

347
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:26,840
Speaker 1: they've done here? What about hotel employees? Do you needle

348
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:31,119
Speaker 1: them to apologize for the hell they're putting people through?

349
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:37,639
Speaker 1: For being what a holy hotel employee? That is not

350
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: a job anybody wants you show up to tug sheets

351
00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: tight and put a crease on the corners, and you're

352
00:24:49,119 --> 00:24:54,480
Speaker 1: having bottles coming through the window at you. And I

353
00:24:54,480 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 1: don't hear anyone anyone. Well, I'm not for for Ice

354
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,439
Speaker 1: Operations or Donald Trump. I don't like him, but I

355
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: must admit this here is problematic. You don't hear them

356
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:12,439
Speaker 1: say that because they're not weak, because they believe in

357
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:18,959
Speaker 1: their position, because they understand that winning is everything. I

358
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 1: am so sick of the weak people on our side

359
00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 1: who cannot rush to their computer fast enough to send

360
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:33,439
Speaker 1: me an email. Michael, Michael, I'm for Trump. I voted

361
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: for him three times. I love Trump, Michael. Of that man,

362
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:42,160
Speaker 1: but what has happened in Minneapolis with this man? He

363
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:47,840
Speaker 1: was a nurse, Michaell. He was a nurse and they

364
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:52,800
Speaker 1: killed him. Michael, ten shots in five seconds. Michael. I

365
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:53,560
Speaker 1: am not for that.

366
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 2: Michael, I am not.

367
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 1: Okay, You've been noted on the record. Not a single

368
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: person gives that damn what your opinion is, especially me.

369
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 1: But I will note it down in the book of

370
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:12,560
Speaker 1: life that you sided with the left and the media

371
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: based on the little bit of information you have. Right now,

372
00:26:15,920 --> 00:26:19,120
Speaker 1: let me see written house written now, Oh yes, here

373
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: you were on the record saying Kyle Rittenhouse gunned people down,

374
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 1: because that's what you were told before you knew anything

375
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: about the details of what they did. What gun was

376
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 1: raised in his face. Oh but you were against this,

377
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: this letto vigilante punk. How could I dare speak in

378
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: his defense because you were against it. And by the way,

379
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: you got the shot. And you want me to know

380
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,560
Speaker 1: you're not ashamed of it, because you're not anti science.

381
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:49,639
Speaker 1: And I've gone too far. You're going to have to

382
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,359
Speaker 1: tune out for a while. You're very disappointed in me

383
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 1: because you got the shot, and you know what, You

384
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: got a compromised immunity, and you have relatives who are

385
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: doing you can't them, and you took the shot. And

386
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: you wish I'd stop this nonsense. And I'm really hurting

387
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 1: the cause by saying these things, because doctor Fauci knows

388
00:27:08,840 --> 00:27:11,399
Speaker 1: more about COVID than I ever will. And he says

389
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:15,000
Speaker 1: to take the shot. Well, first he didn't, and he

390
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 1: says it, and you're gonna do it, and you're disappointed

391
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 1: in me, and on and on and on, and you

392
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:30,199
Speaker 1: wonder why we lose. Imagine this. Imagine the fact that

393
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 1: a guy goes bounding into an ice operation. You've got

394
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,960
Speaker 1: guys that are armed, that are in fear of anyone

395
00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: they're arresting, turning and shooting these these are these are

396
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 1: violent criminals they're going after. And you got Joe Q.

397
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:50,359
Speaker 1: Public running up on there injecting himself into the situation.

398
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? We've normalized this. Imagine guys going

399
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: into a scene at a grocery store where there's just

400
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: been a robbery and somebody goes running up right in

401
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 1: the middle of the officers to prevent them from from

402
00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: arresting the guy. They don't know who this guy is

403
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: or what his intentions are. There are officers getting injured.

404
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 1: How dare you put yourself in that situation? You should

405
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: expect to end up dead. Don't run in and interrupt

406
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 1: ice operations. Holy same people have voted for Trump, but

407
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 1: you can't just break into the Capitol and have a riot.

408
00:28:36,040 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 1: They could have killed people. They didn't, though, did they.

409
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 1: The only person who claimed she feared for her life

410
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: was Alexandria Casio Cortez, and she was three blocks away, unreachable.

411
00:28:48,320 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: Not a person was armed inside there. Oh, but you

412
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: were quick to tell her I'm not for that You're

413
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,400
Speaker 1: never for anything, are you? You always want to be

414
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: so eager to tell us that whatever the media says

415
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: has just happened, that you're not for that. What are

416
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:09,320
Speaker 1: you for? You're against everything the media says they are against?

417
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,160
Speaker 1: Which is what you said you wanted to happen. Deport

418
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: the illegals. Did you think they were going to sit

419
00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: idly by? Did you think they weren't going to try

420
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: to create civil war? Did you think they weren't going

421
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: to inspire the stupidest among them to go rushing in

422
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 1: and interrupting these things until eventually you put ice agents

423
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 1: who are on such alert and so scared and so exhausted,

424
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:36,440
Speaker 1: and separated from their families till one of them fired.

425
00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: You think that wasn't going to happen. We like to

426
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 1: judge people in that situation. I'll never forget the emails

427
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: I got. How dare our marines piss on the guy

428
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: that had just killed their buddy? Oh? They wrung those

429
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 1: people up. They were the worst of the worst. We

430
00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 1: don't do this. We don't piss on a guy who

431
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: just killed our buddy. Can you imagine what the rest

432
00:30:04,040 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: of us would do in that situation? This is what

433
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 1: they want. They're getting what they want, the five year

434
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: old kid hopes. So we just moved on from that.

435
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: They're attacking. They're going to create more and more situations

436
00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 1: where ice officers are going to panic. They are, well,

437
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: they should be professionals, Michael, what do you do for

438
00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 1: a living that you're a professional? Let you called your

439
00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:32,480
Speaker 1: kid the worst possible name three nights ago because he

440
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: pissed you off, But oh that's okay. Aren't you supposed

441
00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: to be a professional parent. Aren't you supposed to be

442
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: a loving parent. They are creating situations, inflection points, and

443
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 1: they're just looking for the right moments. They're looking for

444
00:30:45,040 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 1: their George Floyd that they can run with and lie

445
00:30:47,200 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: about and turn our own people against our own people,

446
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 1: because at the end of the day, they don't want

447
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: the murderers, rapists and pedophiles deported, and we do. Period.

448
00:30:56,040 --> 00:31:00,120
Speaker 1: End of story. M
