Just not About a new 125 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: app that connects families with teachers and helps them create 126 00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: miniature schools. It's called pod Schooling. The statement by the 127 00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: company says they're called Edifi E D E F Y 128 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:48,240 Speaker 1: play of course on education EDIPHI. Edifi's marketplace and logistics 129 00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:54,280 Speaker 1: app connects families to preferred teachers at nearby host sites 130 00:08:54,800 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: to launch pods on demand. I'll read that again. Marketplace 131 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 1: and logistics app connects families to preferred teachers at nearby 132 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: host sites to launch pods on demand. I have reached 133 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,080 Speaker 1: out to them to hopefully get a statement from them 134 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:25,360 Speaker 1: as to what exactly their how exactly that's going to work. 135 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: But you don't. In small towns especially, you have folks. 136 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,600 Speaker 1: You'll have a woman who maybe her husband works or 137 00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: she's unable to work because the age of her own kids, 138 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: and she will put the word out that she'll babysit 139 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: your kid during the day. You can call it education, 140 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:49,680 Speaker 1: you can call it baby city, can call it whatever 141 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,720 Speaker 1: you want. And I knew. In fact, I went to 142 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:57,000 Speaker 1: one on very infrequent occasion because I suspect my parents 143 00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 1: couldn't afford it. But if my mother had something she 144 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: had to be at. I can remember getting dropped off 145 00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:05,000 Speaker 1: at this lady's house in west Ron, maybe kind of 146 00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:09,480 Speaker 1: the Cove, which is a part of Orange and she 147 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: had a modest little house. She was an older lady. 148 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: I did not care for this lady because she felt 149 00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 1: like nurse Ratchet to me. But looking back, I suspect 150 00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 1: she was sort of old school, and being an older woman, 151 00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: she didn't have quite the patience and she wasn't going 152 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: to tolerate your nonsense, and so she set the tone 153 00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 1: when you first got there that you were going to 154 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 1: you were going to abide by her rules, and that 155 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,240 Speaker 1: would have worked for my mother. I don't know how 156 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:49,320 Speaker 1: much it costs, but it's sort of like Airbnb, which 157 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 1: has turned out not to be as great as everyone 158 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,480 Speaker 1: had hoped. But that's really more a function of a 159 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: subculture of thugs and goons and entitled people who've ruined it, 160 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,040 Speaker 1: who were in a house and then throw a party. 161 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 1: So now you have to go back to the We 162 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: really want the people, We really want to know who 163 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: we're dealing with before we rent to somebody, because as 164 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: it turns out, this is unfortunate. I hope this is 165 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,880 Speaker 1: not the first time you hear this. Not every person 166 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,600 Speaker 1: is the same. You would gladly rent your home to 167 00:11:20,720 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 1: some people, and some people you wouldn't dare rent your home. 168 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,319 Speaker 1: And those people to whom you would gladly rent your home, 169 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,480 Speaker 1: they would rent your home and leave it cleaner than 170 00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 1: they found it. They would pay you the agreed upon rate. 171 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 1: They would leave your home and talk to you about 172 00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: coming back and tell other people nice things about how 173 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,200 Speaker 1: you left a candy on their pillow for them and 174 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:46,760 Speaker 1: the place was clean and everything was thought through ahead 175 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:52,320 Speaker 1: of time. Likewise, there are people who feel quite entitled 176 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 1: to rent your place, throw a party, tear it up, 177 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: and claim that you were out to get them. Once 178 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,679 Speaker 1: the police are called and they're told you can't ever 179 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,520 Speaker 1: rent again, we can pretend that's not true. But we 180 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: all know that's true. We've all been through some experience 181 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: like that at some point before. But that's sort of 182 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 1: it's interesting. Takes us back to where we were before 183 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: we set up schools. There was a time before everything 184 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 1: we now know existed. There was a time that if 185 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: the mother, if the husband died in war, or it 186 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,480 Speaker 1: was attacked by a tiger while he was out hunting 187 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 1: and gathering, the mother had to figure out a way 188 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 1: to she take in extra washing, or take in extra cleaning, 189 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,840 Speaker 1: or take in kids and do what it took to 190 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,280 Speaker 1: got to get through. And what you're really talking about, 191 00:12:50,320 --> 00:12:54,200 Speaker 1: she's going back to where we once were. I've got 192 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 1: a friend and his son got transferred to a different school. 193 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 1: So the school going to he's not going to get 194 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,040 Speaker 1: to go to anymore, and he'll be a junior this year, 195 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 1: and the kid does not want to go to the school. 196 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 1: There's there's some bad elements there. And a kid has 197 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,439 Speaker 1: worked with his father in his electrical business for years 198 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,839 Speaker 1: since he was a little bitty kid, and he said, Dad, 199 00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 1: how about I'm gonna work for you when I graduate anyway, 200 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,160 Speaker 1: it's what I want to do. How about I start 201 00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,920 Speaker 1: working for you full time? Now and I do online school, 202 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 1: and so we talked about it and dad was bouncing 203 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: ideas off and I said, look, why is he finishing school. 204 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: You've said he's not going to college. He said, he's 205 00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,959 Speaker 1: not going to college. He's sure of that. He loves 206 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:43,800 Speaker 1: working with you. It's a multi generational family business, small business, 207 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,560 Speaker 1: and he wants to work with you, just as you 208 00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: wanted to work with your dad and you didn't go 209 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 1: to college and you turned out well, and there's still 210 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:55,280 Speaker 1: going to be a need for electricians for years and 211 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,959 Speaker 1: years and years to come. And he's very good at this. 212 00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: He works with his dad during sommer, his dad after school, 213 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 1: worst his dad on the weekends. He's a good helper 214 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:07,079 Speaker 1: for you. He's eventually going to grow into taking over 215 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: the business and running it. So why not let him 216 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: do the homeschooling thing. Because homeschooling now the you know, 217 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: I understand every mother says I. You know, I love 218 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 1: the concept of homeschooling. I'm not sure I could teach 219 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 1: my kids. It's a different relationship. You have taken a 220 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,000 Speaker 1: different role. Maybe when they're little, but you know, by 221 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: the time they get to be a junior in high school, 222 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: are you really going to be You know, you have 223 00:14:31,560 --> 00:14:34,480 Speaker 1: this image of what a teacher does. Well, now it's 224 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: all online. And I know so many kids who are 225 00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: five or ten years into having gone to quote unquote 226 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,880 Speaker 1: homeschool that they did it online. Now I'm not against 227 00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,320 Speaker 1: the school setting. I'll have to hear about that. I'm not. 228 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: But let's be honest. If you actually break down every 229 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 1: minute spent during the educational day from getting to school 230 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:05,240 Speaker 1: to getting home lunch, the time in between classes, and 231 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 1: the time getting Johnny to be quiet and Billy to 232 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: quit pulling ponytails, and there's not there's an hour and 233 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:15,520 Speaker 1: a half maybe of actual instruction. Yeah, you can do 234 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:19,880 Speaker 1: this by self instruction. You can the Michael Barry Show. 235 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: Please clap, please, please clap. I've noticed one of the 236 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 1: issues that society ladies have taken up that ten years 237 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:46,880 Speaker 1: ago you never heard about. Not to minimize society ladies 238 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 1: taking it up. That's actually how a lot of things 239 00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,640 Speaker 1: end up getting done because in many cases their husbands 240 00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: are powerful men. But I have noticed that society ladies, 241 00:15:56,040 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: particularly Republican society ladies, have taken up the issue of 242 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 1: sex trafficking and child trafficking, and I don't remember this before, 243 00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 1: relatively new phenomenon and it comes out of nowhere. Not 244 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 1: to say that it's not a real issue. In fact, 245 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,000 Speaker 1: it's a huge issue, and it has been for quite 246 00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:29,280 Speaker 1: some time, but it has now become openly spoken of 247 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 1: that sex trafficking, including child trafficking, in fact, probably largely 248 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 1: child trafficking, is a major American crisis, specifically as it 249 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: relates to Houston being the national hub, which most everyone, 250 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 1: law enforcement, you name it, the folks should do this, 251 00:16:55,840 --> 00:17:00,760 Speaker 1: say that Houston is the hub, which makes sense because 252 00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:05,040 Speaker 1: these people, these children, largely boys and girls or girls 253 00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: and boys, are being brought up across the border. So 254 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: you've got California, Arizona, and Texas, but particularly Texas, and 255 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: then they're farmed out, they're sold, they're distributed like a 256 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:22,640 Speaker 1: Walmart distribution network to the pervs and creeps and goons 257 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,199 Speaker 1: around the country who wish to harm them. Now we 258 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:30,200 Speaker 1: also know from the marijuana grove farm in California, they're 259 00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:34,880 Speaker 1: also used in addition to the subjects of rape objects 260 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 1: of rape, they're also a twofer. They put them to work. 261 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,119 Speaker 1: They put them to work, and they don't have to 262 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,960 Speaker 1: pay Social Security payroll. In all the other things have 263 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:49,960 Speaker 1: to abide by labor regulations. A pretty nasty deal. And 264 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 1: this is one of the reasons that those who oppose 265 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:59,800 Speaker 1: the crackdown on I legal immigration oppose it because it's 266 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:03,880 Speaker 1: not there's some random pedo out there doing this. It's 267 00:18:03,920 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 1: big business. It's an actual commodity bought and sold in 268 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 1: bult for big money, just like drugs. And when this 269 00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:21,640 Speaker 1: much money is involved, and this many sophisticated players are involved, 270 00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,239 Speaker 1: you're not going to just shut down their business. A 271 00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: disturbing sex trafficking story has made national news out of Houston. 272 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: A Honduran national accused of holding a Chinese immigrant captive 273 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 1: in a Harris County trailer. So you've got the guy 274 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 1: from Honduras who comes here illegally in his job is 275 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:49,479 Speaker 1: to keep the Chinese woman and lots of other people 276 00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:55,199 Speaker 1: locked up so they can sell her for sex. She 277 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,560 Speaker 1: had been locked in a room for five days without 278 00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:03,520 Speaker 1: food or water in an East Houston home. Apparently, according 279 00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 1: to her, he had punched her, tied her up, sexually 280 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:10,880 Speaker 1: assaulted her. She managed to get out and run down 281 00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 1: the street, and a ring camera caught it caught her 282 00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:20,159 Speaker 1: him grabbing her and her screeching. He then locked her 283 00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 1: in the closet. She was a messeuse from New York 284 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:28,159 Speaker 1: who was offered a position in Houston for more money. 285 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 1: Police believe there is more to this operation than just 286 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: him and her. The story from click to Houston Good Evening. 287 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,360 Speaker 7: I'm Danielle Gusman. Some disturbing surveillance video.

Well, that man has been charged 291 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 7: with kidnapping, but the Harris County Sheriff's Office says they're 292 00:19:51,040 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 7: looking for more suspects and more victims. 293 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:55,880 Speaker 1: They believe it is part of a larger human smuggling 294 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,440 Speaker 1: sex trafficking operation.

She had been held 298 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,160 Speaker 6: captive for at least five days inside a mobile home 299 00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 6: by a man in the country illegally.

They were recruited to come here, 345 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 1: they were induced to come here. They were given packages 346 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,640 Speaker 1: with phones and money. They were flown in the dead 347 00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:44,640 Speaker 1: of night, no cost to them. They were flown around 348 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:48,520 Speaker 1: the United States. They were dropped into communities. They were 349 00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: placed in public facilities, like a new gymnasium that a 350 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,919 Speaker 1: school had just built, so the kids couldn't use it. 351 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:57,960 Speaker 1: They took over veterans were kicked out of their housing 352 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: so that these beloved illegal aliens could be placed there. 353 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:10,000 Speaker 1: They were given food, housing, jobs, money, phones.

This was part of a 357 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 1: strategy and still is. This is a monstrous business that 358 00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:33,399 Speaker 1: is not relegated to the cartels. They operate on this 359 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:38,439 Speaker 1: side of the border. They own law enforcement, they owned prosecutors, 360 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:44,679 Speaker 1: they own everybody, the Democrat Party, they owned the media. 361 00:23:44,920 --> 00:23:51,280 Speaker 1: This this didn't happen by accident. These the Michael Barry 362 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,280 Speaker 1: that don't make me wrong. So some of you got 363 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:02,160 Speaker 1: very indolt as we did along inside us in the 364 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:07,840 Speaker 1: Travels and Travail's and Triumph. I was trying to think 365 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:09,480 Speaker 1: of tr Ward and I found it on the fly 366 00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:15,080 Speaker 1: of Nadville Junior of the Nadville Little League All Stars 367 00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 1: and their run to Nationals in Williamsport. Well, that is 368 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 1: a special group of kids. They have stayed together, and 369 00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 1: there is the thirteen year old competition which doesn't get 370 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:34,159 Speaker 1: nearly as much attention, but they're thirteen year olds, the 371 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:37,480 Speaker 1: same group that just moved up. One of them are 372 00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:42,159 Speaker 1: playing in the Southwest Regional in New Mexico. They played 373 00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:46,320 Speaker 1: the host team there New Mexico and drummed them thirteen 374 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,640 Speaker 1: to one over the weekend, and then they had a 375 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 1: thrilling nine to eight win over Texas East yesterday to 376 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 1: advance to the championship game. If they win this tournament, 377 00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 1: they go to in the Junior League World Series. I 378 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 1: wonder how many kids have gone to the Little League 379 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 1: World Series, which is well nigh impossible. You gotta win 380 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:11,959 Speaker 1: your district, you gotta go to Waco, you gotta win 381 00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:14,480 Speaker 1: the state. You got to then go to the regional. 382 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,920 Speaker 1: You gotta win the regional and then you make it 383 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:20,439 Speaker 1: to Williamsport to compete with teams around the country and 384 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:23,720 Speaker 1: then the world. It's a huge honor for a kid 385 00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:27,640 Speaker 1: for the rest of their lives. And those kids did 386 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:32,920 Speaker 1: it now to keep winning like this at thirteen. This 387 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,440 Speaker 1: is a really really neat deal. And I'll bet you 388 00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 1: the city of Needville is on fire for these kids, 389 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:42,040 Speaker 1: because I know they were last year. All the everybody 390 00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:45,520 Speaker 1: has their stickers in the window and go and closing 391 00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,880 Speaker 1: down or opening up for people to come and watch 392 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 1: the game there, or closing their shop so they can 393 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:52,920 Speaker 1: go and watch the game. And everybody rooting for them. 394 00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:56,879 Speaker 1: And what a neat deal. What a neat deal. The 395 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 1: opposite of like Coman Dante, Lena Hadalo wanting to raise 396 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:05,439 Speaker 1: property taxes again, Yeah, I think this pretty well seals 397 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:08,959 Speaker 1: the deal. She's not running for reelection. And here's what 398 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:15,840 Speaker 1: I think is happening. I think that so Rodney. If 399 00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 1: she were running for reelection and Rodney wanted her to 400 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 1: be the county judge, he would have kept Erica Lee, 401 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:27,320 Speaker 1: Sheila Jackson, Lee's daughter out of the race. The fact 402 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 1: that Shela Jackson Lee's daughter is in the race means 403 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:38,160 Speaker 1: that Rodney is easing Lena out. It is clear from 404 00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:43,119 Speaker 1: her public statements and behavior. She didn't want to be out. 405 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:47,120 Speaker 1: She now feels like a jolted lover. So she's over 406 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 1: there with Ichabod and he's a nerd and we've all 407 00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: embraced he's a nerd, and nerds are great, and we've 408 00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,480 Speaker 1: had our revenge of the Nerds moment. She's had a 409 00:26:55,520 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 1: complete meltdown. Her name is absolute Mud and not Jim 410 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:04,399 Speaker 1: Mudd in this community. Bad mud, not like dusty mud, 411 00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 1: but a bad mud. She is not well regarded. She 412 00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:11,560 Speaker 1: is scoffed at, laughed at. She is a walking meme. 413 00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:14,960 Speaker 1: Somebody sent me the oh it was fatal punawalle. He 414 00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:18,120 Speaker 1: sent me the mug that he ordered that we did 415 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,000 Speaker 1: of her when she said she was overwhelmed. Remember she 416 00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,440 Speaker 1: she had to step out of the county commissioner's meeting 417 00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,399 Speaker 1: because she was overwhelmed. We had a new pope. She 418 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:27,560 Speaker 1: could handle it. She couldn't conduct the meeting. We had 419 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:30,560 Speaker 1: a new pope. She was overwhelmed. Anyway, he said, he 420 00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,160 Speaker 1: pulled that out. He had some liberals at his house 421 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:36,960 Speaker 1: and he pulled that out to shock them. So so 422 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:42,119 Speaker 1: she's in a very bad way. Rodney has placed her replacement, 423 00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,200 Speaker 1: and you've got Letitia Plummer. She's a city councilman. She's 424 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:47,399 Speaker 1: not a front runner, but she would have split the 425 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 1: vote further. And then you've got a niece Porker. She's 426 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,919 Speaker 1: the eight hundred pound gorilla over here. She's going to 427 00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:57,960 Speaker 1: be very tough because every Democrat that doesn't base, that 428 00:27:58,040 --> 00:28:00,360 Speaker 1: doesn't vote based on race, is going to vote for her. 429 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,359 Speaker 1: She's going to raise money, she's going to get she's 430 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:06,359 Speaker 1: going to get the old Democrat coalition, and she's going 431 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,439 Speaker 1: to get some of the black vote. That's true too, 432 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,600 Speaker 1: because people aren't gonna want the feeling that it was 433 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,960 Speaker 1: handed to Sheila Jackson, Lee's daughter. And then you got Lena. 434 00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 1: She's still the county judge. Nutty Hearn squirrel turns there. 435 00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 1: She is, well, she has proposed yet another property tax increase. 436 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 1: This time you know what I'll let her take to 437 00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 1: fund early childhood education programs. Here's the story from ABC. 438 00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 13: Thirteen and we were first to report this only on thirteen. 439 00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:34,640 Speaker 13: Harris County Judge Lena at Dalgo telling our Tom Abrams 440 00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,199 Speaker 13: in an exclusive interview that she plans to ask for 441 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 13: a one cent property tax increase to fund early childhood education. 442 00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 13: Some Harris County leaders, saying tonight that is where they 443 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,000 Speaker 13: first heard about it as well. 444 00:28:47,040 --> 00:28:49,160 Speaker 10: Today we went to Commissioner's Court to see if it's 445 00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 10: something they could support. 446 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,720 Speaker 6: But as ABC thirteen's dictatorio discovered, outside of what was 447 00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:55,840 Speaker 6: on eyewitness news, they don't know anything. 448 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 11: Else the penny tax. 449 00:28:58,520 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 4: In order to keep childcare program in place, Harris County 450 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 4: Judge Lena Hidalgo is turning to pennies and property. 451 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 11: Would enable us to continue these programs and actually expand 452 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 11: them a little bit. 453 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:10,160 Speaker 4: Next month's Commissioners Court meeting, Hadago says she'll add to 454 00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 4: the agenda a penny proposal to keep a childcare program running. 455 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 1: She says it's. 456 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 4: Needed because the federal COVID relief dollars they used to 457 00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 4: start it are running out. 458 00:29:18,200 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: If passed, Dago says it'll cost. 459 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,520 Speaker 4: Homeowners ten more dollars for everye hundred thousand dollars of evaluation, 460 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 4: a proposal she shared with ABC thirteen viewers. They weren't 461 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,960 Speaker 4: the only ones who learned it watching it on our news. 462 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 2: When you called just a little while ago, that's when 463 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,240 Speaker 2: we heard about the program. 464 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 1: It was news reports. 465 00:29:37,360 --> 00:29:40,280 Speaker 4: No Brakings Commissioner Tom Ramsey says he won't support the 466 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:43,640 Speaker 4: tax increase. The proposal, he says, may be difficult, knowing 467 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 4: the county could be facing a multi million dollar budget deficit. 468 00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,800 Speaker 2: The first thing that Judge Holdago wants to do is 469 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:55,720 Speaker 2: to raise taxes before we even began the budget process. 470 00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,680 Speaker 4: The county has to approve a budget by October. Policy 471 00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:02,200 Speaker 4: experts say normally tax increases come up during those discussions. 472 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 14: I want to do as part of the regular order, 473 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,000 Speaker 14: which is to do it as part of the budget 474 00:30:08,120 --> 00:30:10,280 Speaker 14: cycle for the year, to go out and just say 475 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,400 Speaker 14: we're going to go spend this on some project, because 476 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:15,040 Speaker 14: I want to do it without knowing what the rest 477 00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 14: of the budget's going to look like. 478 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:20,040 Speaker 4: Spokespersons for Commissioners Leslie Brionnis and Adrian Garcia told ABC 479 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 4: thirteen they received no proposal details. We didn't hear back 480 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:26,280 Speaker 4: from Commissioner Rodney Ellis. At this point, it's unclear if 481 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 4: the penny tax increase for childcare has support. 482 00:30:29,240 --> 00:30:33,239 Speaker 14: But there's an old county judge in Central Texas one 483 00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:36,000 Speaker 14: time tell me the most important ability for a county 484 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 14: judge is to count to three, and so generally, if 485 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:41,560 Speaker 14: you're going to propose them as you kind of go 486 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 14: around and line up and support. 487 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,040 Speaker 4: Hodogo plans to put this on the agenda for early August. 488 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 4: At pass, it will head to voters in November. 489 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,520 Speaker 1: It was a federal government fund that they got, and 490 00:30:57,560 --> 00:31:01,000 Speaker 1: then the COVID fund ran out, and now they're trying 491 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,480 Speaker 1: to keep the money going because they surely have some 492 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,960 Speaker 1: of their friends that are getting paid on it. Good grief, 493 00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:06,880 Speaker 1: it's almost funny.
