We're not wearing pants. Good morning, lady Laurie, 14 00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:16,399 Speaker 3: wake un based, God damn my career. 15 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 1: Good morning. In twenty seventeen, the state rep for the 16 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: area that is Colony Ridge Ridge was Ernest Bells. Ernest 17 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 1: Bells was carrying the water for Trey and John Harris. 18 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 1: You knew who Trey and John Harris are. They're the 19 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 1: folks that brought Colony Ridge to the community. Colony Ridge, 20 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: the colonia which is basically an outpost for illegal aliens 21 00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: to have their own little criminal enterprise. Turns out that 22 00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: when they were raided, how many illegals were hauled out 23 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: of there. It was a lot. You can't just go 24 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:12,799 Speaker 1: buy a home with a signature, but they did there, 25 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 1: it would appear from what we hear, they weren't in 26 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:21,359 Speaker 1: compliance with any of the laws in this country related 27 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: to the home purchasing process. The allegation by even Joe 28 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 1: Biden's Department of Justice was that the Harrises were running 29 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 1: an enterprise where people would give plunk down money as 30 00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:39,679 Speaker 1: a deposit on a house, begin financing the home, and 31 00:02:39,880 --> 00:02:43,040 Speaker 1: like a tote the note car lot on the corner 32 00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: anywhere forty five south at Wayside, ish they couldn't pay 33 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,919 Speaker 1: the note, so they get kicked out, and then you 34 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,560 Speaker 1: just repeat the process, so you keep getting money from 35 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,399 Speaker 1: these people who don't end up owning it. Well, let's 36 00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:01,280 Speaker 1: go back to Ernest Bells. He was supposed Republican, and 37 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:07,280 Speaker 1: we targeted Representative Bells for the colonia and for the 38 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: activities as a rhino that he was engaged in and 39 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: ended up beating him. But in twenty seventeen he co 40 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,799 Speaker 1: authored legislation. I don't think he could author anything. I 41 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: think that the Harrises wrote it and he carried the bill. 42 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: It would establish a special taxing district in the colony 43 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:32,639 Speaker 1: Ridge Colonia called Liberty County Municipal Management District Number one. 44 00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: Houston Landing looked into the management of that district and 45 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 1: found that millions in taxes collected are controlled by a 46 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: quote tight knit group of family and friends, all of 47 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 1: whom are connected to Colony Ridge, Inc. Notably, John Harris 48 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:58,880 Speaker 1: serves as the district's board president. The management district has 49 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: paid millions in paving and drainage contracts to a paving 50 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 1: company that is quote indirectly owned by the Harris brothers 51 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 1: and another board member from the Houston Landing investigation quote. 52 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: The district is governed by a tight knit group of 53 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 1: family and friends, all of whom are connected to Colony Ridge, Inc. 54 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: According to meeting minutes. Notably, John Harris, president of the 55 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: development company, also serves as the district's board president. The 56 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,359 Speaker 1: other four members who served on the five person board 57 00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: since its inception include Harris's niece and three Colony Ridge employees. 58 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,560 Speaker 1: Experts in municipal government and the creation of management districts 59 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: such as the one in Liberty County say that the 60 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 1: revolving circle of leadership raises significant conflict of interest concerns. 61 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 1: Matthew Poston, elected Liberty County Attorney in twenty sixteen, said 62 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: the scandal isn't what is illegal. The scandal is what 63 00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 1: is legal. All the complicated ways developers have some much power. 64 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: Nobody's interested in reviewing that. At the state level, meeting 65 00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,480 Speaker 1: minutes show that the district's only action to tackle road 66 00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: and drainage issues has been to approve three multimillion dollar 67 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:16,480 Speaker 1: paving in drainage contracts with Liberty Paving, a company indirectly 68 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:20,799 Speaker 1: owned by the Harris brothers and another board member. Meeting 69 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,680 Speaker 1: minutes and district records show that between twenty twenty two 70 00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 1: and twenty twenty three, the family controlled board unanimously approved 71 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:33,000 Speaker 1: two contracts totaling sixteen million dollars for the Colony Ridge Inc. Subsidiary. 72 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:37,159 Speaker 1: According to the minutes, A third contract for Liberty Paving 73 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: was approved in November, just a few months ago, for 74 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,039 Speaker 1: six point five million dollars. Conflict of interest statements show 75 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 1: that former board president Trey Harris and vice president Heath 76 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: Merrick have financial interest in Colony Ridge, Inc. However, those 77 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 1: disclosures did not stop them from voting to approve the 78 00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: first two paving and drainage contracts. According to financial disclosures, 79 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 1: John Harris, the current board president, owns at least ten 80 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: percent of Liberty paving. He abstained from voting on the 81 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: third contract granted to the subsidiary. Meeting minutes show experts 82 00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: told the Landing that state law does not prohibit management 83 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: district board members from doing business with companies they own 84 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,720 Speaker 1: or have a financial stake in, even after mandatory disclosures 85 00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,760 Speaker 1: are made. Additionally, districts are responsible for policing themselves through 86 00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: by laws and best practices, and developers can legally reimburse 87 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: themselves with tax money through a municipal board. You know, 88 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 1: it is good to remember that state Representative Ernest Bell Bells, 89 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,160 Speaker 1: who was clearly carrying the water for the heirises so 90 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: that the taxes they paid in they got right back. See, 91 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:51,680 Speaker 1: they don't have to pay for their taxes to taxing 92 00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 1: entities to pay for the stuff that the rest of 93 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,640 Speaker 1: us have to pay for. They get a district where 94 00:06:57,640 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 1: that money comes right back to them and they can 95 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: spend it as they wish, which they spent on roads 96 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: that they themselves get paid to pay. It's quite a 97 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: little arrangement, isn't it. Well, surely the governor would do. 98 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 2: No. 99 00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:18,400 Speaker 1: Do I need to remind you that Greg Abbott was 100 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: on the take as well. Do I need to remind 101 00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,239 Speaker 1: you that when this whole thing came out, Greg Abbot 102 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: went real quiet because he had taken a lot of 103 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: money from them Harris boys. It's amazing, isn't it, How 104 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: these good, decent, honorable Republicans like Greg Abbott are out 105 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 1: there fighting them dad burned Democrats until you find out 106 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: they're not until you find out they're engaged. They're scoundrels. 107 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: They're not protecting us, they're not speaking up for the state. 108 00:07:55,440 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: Greg Abbott collected a small fortune from the Harris brothers, 109 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,600 Speaker 1: and so when this whole thing busted, he was in 110 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:08,600 Speaker 1: a real pickle. There was Dan Patrick hovering over the 111 00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:13,280 Speaker 1: area in a helicopter, calling the national media in. Here 112 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: was Greg Abbott over here, kind of hyden and hoping 113 00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: nobody notice how much money he got from the Harris voice. Oh, 114 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: we noticed, Governor. We noticed the cherish keep rolling around. 115 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 1: Damn it all right? This is Mark Chestnut Enjoy Bizaar 116 00:08:31,840 --> 00:09:14,839 Speaker 1: of Talk Radio. A listener sent me a clip of 117 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:21,839 Speaker 1: Savannah Guthrie this morning on Liberation Day. But they didn't 118 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:26,960 Speaker 1: couch the story as if today is Liberation Day. They 119 00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:31,360 Speaker 1: couched it as if it's a horrible storm incoming, or 120 00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:39,679 Speaker 1: maybe we're being bombed or just punched bashed. Something horrible 121 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 1: is happening. She said that consumers are bracing for the terraffs. 122 00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,040 Speaker 1: Listen to this earth today. 123 00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 2: James is excepted on important goods from all around. 124 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,359 Speaker 3: The world, said, take affection immediately. 125 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:59,040 Speaker 1: Consumers embracing her in the story brace Are you bracing? 126 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,319 Speaker 1: I see you over there? You bracing you? 127 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 3: Man, It's to be bad. 128 00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:12,920 Speaker 1: It's gonna be bad day today. First of all, is 129 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,720 Speaker 1: anything Is anything happening today to affect a single person's life. 130 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:22,920 Speaker 1: Not likely. It's one of those interesting things where you 131 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 1: can go out and do a man on the street 132 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:28,320 Speaker 1: interview and people want to know that whatever's being talked about, 133 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,280 Speaker 1: they're part of it. Right. We're hearing the story that 134 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: people are now doing this. I'm doing it over here. 135 00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,079 Speaker 1: You just started doing it because you heard in the 136 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,960 Speaker 1: news that other people are doing it. You're not authentically 137 00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:44,199 Speaker 1: over there doing it. Are you bracing for taxes? It's 138 00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:47,959 Speaker 1: very important. A lot of people still don't understand what 139 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: tariffs are. And I've been talking about it this week. 140 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,760 Speaker 1: I've been talking about it last week, and I respond 141 00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,199 Speaker 1: to people and I try to engage in a multi 142 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:01,000 Speaker 1: part email because I'm trying to ferret out to sleuth 143 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: out what people do and do not know about tarifs, 144 00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:07,040 Speaker 1: because I think it's interesting. Our listeners are going to 145 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,160 Speaker 1: be more informed than the average public. That's the nature 146 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,679 Speaker 1: of a talk radio listener. So that's kind of the 147 00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:16,599 Speaker 1: high watermark of the average person's level of understanding of 148 00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,319 Speaker 1: what a tariff is and isn't. Ah, but if we 149 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 1: start calling them taxes, nobody likes taxes. If we call 150 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 1: them taxes, cans American consumers, citizenry bracing for taxes, well, 151 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:40,160 Speaker 1: I suppose, But not a tax imposed upon Americans. A 152 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:43,439 Speaker 1: tax imposed upon a foreign company. Well, you've listened to 153 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 1: the show long enough to know that when you impose 154 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 1: a tax, you intercede in the relationship between the seller 155 00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:55,839 Speaker 1: foreign country sending the product here and the buyer, the 156 00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: importer and then retailer or reseller of the product here. 157 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:08,120 Speaker 1: That you are in fact increasing the price indirectly. Doesn't 158 00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 1: have to be the case, because the country that's sending 159 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: the product here doesn't necessarily have to raise the price. 160 00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,560 Speaker 1: They could take a hickey on it. They could reduce 161 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:24,720 Speaker 1: the price concurrent with that amount commensurate with that amount. 162 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:29,760 Speaker 1: They could that's a choice they could make. Some it's 163 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,440 Speaker 1: going to each one's going to be different. In some cases, 164 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: there's the fat enough profit margin and the American consumer 165 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,520 Speaker 1: is so price sensitive. Those two things have to both 166 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 1: be at play. That they could simply say, we'll bear 167 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 1: the cost. It'll come out of our profits. But that's okay. 168 00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,280 Speaker 1: We have more than that in profits. We make more 169 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 1: than twenty five percent. A lot a lot of product 170 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 1: categories don't have a twenty five percent or more profit margin. 171 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,960 Speaker 1: They just don't. So what we're going to see now 172 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:02,599 Speaker 1: is a rearrange you give the day. It's not the 173 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,840 Speaker 1: case that the government waves a wand imposes a tariff 174 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden that one thing happens. There 175 00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: are going to be people who are going to One 176 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,319 Speaker 1: of the things, one of many things that's going to 177 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:21,160 Speaker 1: happen is companies outside the United States, and we're already 178 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,559 Speaker 1: seeing this are going to immediately announce in order to 179 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: get favorable tax terms tariff terms. They're going to immediately 180 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:32,120 Speaker 1: announce we're going to open a plant in the United States, 181 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,439 Speaker 1: and the Trump administration is going to say, great, we're 182 00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: going to hold a press conference and you're going to 183 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 1: announce it, and you're going to say it's because of 184 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,280 Speaker 1: the tariffs, and you're invested in America and you love 185 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 1: Donald Trump. We're in Can you not impose the tariffs 186 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,800 Speaker 1: in the meantime? And you drag your feet on when 187 00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: you open it, you have the announcement and you continue 188 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,800 Speaker 1: the flow of trade unimpeded. There. Well, that will happen. 189 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,840 Speaker 1: Some folks will actually break ground and open businesses. Others 190 00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:03,440 Speaker 1: will have tie ups with American companies where they will 191 00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: will outsource production with excess capacity. Because it's not all 192 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: about cars, it's all sorts of other things. There will 193 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,319 Speaker 1: be foreign companies who will come in and negotiate, Hey, 194 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: what if we make a cash injection of one hundred 195 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 1: million dollars into this manufacturing facility in Brownsville, Texas, and 196 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: we send in a third of the products we send 197 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,160 Speaker 1: into this country, we will now make out of the 198 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:32,680 Speaker 1: Brownsville plant. Well, that will happen too. There will be 199 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: all sorts of negotiations like this. American manufacturing will overnight. 200 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 1: Starting today, American manufacturing is more valuable as a potential 201 00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:48,760 Speaker 1: for hire commodity. We've got access capacity over here where 202 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: we're making toilet paper or we're making shirts or whatever 203 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: we're doing. No way's making shirts in the US anymore. 204 00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: No textile, hardly any textile left here. But there will 205 00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:03,800 Speaker 1: be companies that already in business here that will immediately 206 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: there will be an entire industry of brokers who will 207 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 1: come in and knock on your door and say, hey, 208 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:15,560 Speaker 1: I got a South Korean company. It's very eager to 209 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: announce they've got Here's how you check the box. Here's 210 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: what they have to do. They've got twenty five million 211 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 1: dollars to plunk down right now, and all we need 212 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,320 Speaker 1: you to do is make ten percent of their capacity. 213 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,880 Speaker 1: The Trump administration has told them that if they'll do 214 00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: ten percent of their capacity here, then they'll relax the 215 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:36,480 Speaker 1: tariff for six months during a safe harbor period. There's 216 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,280 Speaker 1: going to be a lot of things that happen like that, 217 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: and those things are going to actually spur the economy 218 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,800 Speaker 1: in the short term those actions. At the same time, 219 00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: the media is going to tell you that we can't 220 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,760 Speaker 1: survive without the goods that we're importing if a tariff 221 00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: is imposed, and that this is the end of the world, 222 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: and here's Rachel Maddow to tell you why, and your 223 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:03,920 Speaker 1: life is horrible. And here is Susan in Topeka, Kansas, 224 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 1: and she says, I just don't know how I'm gonna survive. 225 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: What's wrong the terrorists at taxes. I'm already struggling as 226 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,280 Speaker 1: it is, and I'm having a lot of trouble as horrible. Oh, 227 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: poor Susan in Topeka. We didn't care about her yesterday. 228 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,880 Speaker 1: She probably voted for Trump. She did vote for Trump, 229 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 1: and now she's disappointed. Oh my goodness, it's the end 230 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 1: of the world. Susan is struggling. So now Karen in 231 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 1: Omaha starts hearing these stories enough and she notices her 232 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 1: feet are hurting because she's on her feet all day, 233 00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 1: and she notices that her life is getting worse and 234 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 1: these terrorists are causing her problems. It hasn't changed her 235 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: life a bit, but if she hears it enough times, 236 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: and this is the battle that's going to play out, 237 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 1: this is this is the pitched battle. She's a mind 238 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: very show Michael what wants. 239 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 3: You don't know? If he cries it n. 240 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:01,240 Speaker 2: You don't know. 241 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:08,680 Speaker 3: If you don't what nothing becomes ec. 242 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:11,639 Speaker 1: Old Night Marison. 243 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:20,280 Speaker 3: Until you've been beside a man. You don't know how 244 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:21,120 Speaker 3: we feed here? 245 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:27,240 Speaker 1: Alright, I need your assistance on something one since I 246 00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 1: have a friend named Deanna Davila or Diana Davila if 247 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,920 Speaker 1: you like. Dianna Doavila was a state Rep on the 248 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:40,840 Speaker 1: east side of Houston, and she married a friend of mine, 249 00:17:40,880 --> 00:17:43,959 Speaker 1: which is how I got to know her, named Roman Martinez. 250 00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: Roman was a state rep. Back in the nineties ish eighties, nineties, 251 00:17:55,560 --> 00:18:00,919 Speaker 1: rather well liked elected official. I think he started as 252 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:02,880 Speaker 1: a state Rep. And I think he became a state 253 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,159 Speaker 1: Senator from there. I think he ran for Congress against 254 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 1: Ben Reyes and lost. But Raman was from outside the machine, 255 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:17,280 Speaker 1: so he was this sort of do good reformer who 256 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:24,119 Speaker 1: was up against the machine, and the independent voters of 257 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 1: the area loved him for that. But the machine is powerful, 258 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:32,119 Speaker 1: and eventually he barely lost I remember correctly, in a 259 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 1: congressional race in about ninety two in what came to 260 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 1: be known as the Brown seat, which was interestingly won 261 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,920 Speaker 1: by Jane Green, who was a white guy. Sheila jacksonally 262 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,439 Speaker 1: got very involved in that election and trying to create 263 00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: what she called a Brown Black coalition. It was all 264 00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 1: the drama back in the day, and I was quite 265 00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 1: interested in I was a COG student, but I was 266 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 1: going out to the campaign every day and watching what 267 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:02,040 Speaker 1: was going on and talking to people, and that was 268 00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,440 Speaker 1: when I was kind of making my introduction into local 269 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 1: political sy Fast forward, unrelated to any of that other 270 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,000 Speaker 1: than I got an email from Diana. Hadn't heard from 271 00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,399 Speaker 1: her in a while and the last time I saw her. 272 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,840 Speaker 1: She and her husband Raman split their time out in Independence, 273 00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 1: which is just outside of Brenham, in a Bucolic property 274 00:19:23,760 --> 00:19:26,880 Speaker 1: out in the country, and they drive back and forth 275 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: as needed. And she said, Zara, hope you and the 276 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,280 Speaker 1: family are doing well. Last week, as I was driving 277 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,920 Speaker 1: from Brenham to Houston, I listened to your program and 278 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,639 Speaker 1: I heard you talking about Paul Harvey during a segment 279 00:19:38,680 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: on listeners best Memories of KTRH. I was tempted to 280 00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:45,200 Speaker 1: call in and tell you a story. He once included 281 00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: a story about my family on one of his shows. 282 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: It was nineteen eighty four, the year I graduated from 283 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:56,959 Speaker 1: HISD Stephen F. Austin High School. My acceptance at Harvard 284 00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,240 Speaker 1: prompted a second article in the Houston Chronicle about a uote. 285 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:05,840 Speaker 1: Second Davila end quote going to Harvard, Paul Harvey picked 286 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:09,440 Speaker 1: it up and included it in his show. To this day, 287 00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,879 Speaker 1: I've never heard it. The mother of one of my 288 00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:17,120 Speaker 1: future Harvard roommates heard it in Rockford, Illinois years ago. 289 00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 1: I searched for a recording of it, but I was 290 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: not successful. I would be forever grateful for any guidance 291 00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:29,080 Speaker 1: you may have. Blessings, Dianna. I did a little Google search, 292 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 1: but I'm not as good at these things. There was 293 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 1: a woman named Katie Sherborne who was my legislative director 294 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 1: when I was on city council. This was the kind 295 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,720 Speaker 1: of thing that you could give Katie and thirty minutes 296 00:20:44,760 --> 00:20:47,400 Speaker 1: later she would dig it up in seven different languages 297 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:49,840 Speaker 1: and hand you the original script of the microphone Paul 298 00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,639 Speaker 1: Harvey used. And how do you do these things? It 299 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 1: was amazing. Well, fortunately, you have to find people like 300 00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 1: this and surround yourself with them in your life. And 301 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 1: I have two now, and that is Sandy Peterson and 302 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:08,520 Speaker 1: Rachel Palmer Hooper, and so between those two somebody's going 303 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: to be able to find this story. I have asked 304 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:16,159 Speaker 1: for any any terms that she knows of that were used, 305 00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:21,520 Speaker 1: would have been in nineteen eighty four, Dobby La spelled 306 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:25,440 Speaker 1: Da v Ila, probably going to have a reference to Houston, 307 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:31,680 Speaker 1: maybe Steven F. Austin High School, possibly Harvard. I don't 308 00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 1: know what other terms, because I don't know the context 309 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:42,119 Speaker 1: within which he told this story. And so if somebody 310 00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:44,920 Speaker 1: could find that for me and send me an email, 311 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,240 Speaker 1: I would certainly appreciate it. That would be very nice. 312 00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:52,199 Speaker 1: We will now open the phone lines. The official opening 313 00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 1: of the phone lines is about to occur in three 314 00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:02,399 Speaker 1: two one seven one three nine nine nine one thousand 315 00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: seven one three nine one thousand. A property owner in 316 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:11,720 Speaker 1: Brazoria County says she faces financial ruin and threats of 317 00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 1: arrest for confronting tenants who refused to pay rent on 318 00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,119 Speaker 1: her home.

She says, they won't pay rent. They've been 321 00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:31,640 Speaker 1: living in my house for months. They won't pay rent. Now, ramon, 322 00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:35,440 Speaker 1: before I tell you, just what's the likelihood the owner 323 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,280 Speaker 1: is Asian? Because Asian women won't tolerate that. Oh no, 324 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 1: she's a co Acosua. Well, let's see kho you. 325 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,240 Speaker 4: I can't even come to my home. This is the 326 00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 4: most disheartening thing that you can imagine. 327 00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:51,200 Speaker 5: Acusia Danqoix has owned this home in Iowa. Call any 328 00:22:51,359 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 5: for a year, hold on a minute? 329 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,840 Speaker 1: Hold own, hold own?

Rewind and let's see if we can 332 00:23:04,600 --> 00:23:05,320 Speaker 1: tell where she's from. 333 00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 4: I can't even come to my home. This is the 334 00:23:11,119 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 4: most disheartening thing that you can imagine. 335 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:18,600 Speaker 1: Has owned this home and Iowa call She's AKA.

Probably trying to build up a portfolio. 340 00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: She might have done, you know, some sort of course. 341 00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:42,040 Speaker 1: And the thing about it is a white woman will 342 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 1: be scared to come forward. She'd try to find some 343 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,320 Speaker 1: way to get her rent, but she'd be scared to 344 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:51,600 Speaker 1: come forward, especially if the tenants are not white. This 345 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 1: black woman's like bs on that you're gonna pay my rent. 346 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 1: I have to pay the mortgage on this thing. And 347 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:02,800 Speaker 1: the way this works is you pay your rent that 348 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: I can pay the mortgage and hopefully keep a couple 349 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: of dollars left over for a donut, ice cream, cup 350 00:24:10,040 --> 00:24:13,040 Speaker 1: of coffee, or to pay down the mortgage faster. You're 351 00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: gonna pay your rent. You're not gonna not pay your rent. Sister, 352 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,520 Speaker 1: Girl's not gonna play. I'm telling you. When trust me 353 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,080 Speaker 1: on this, a white woman would suffer in silence. But 354 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:25,960 Speaker 1: this woman, I need to look at the video. Chad 355 00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: will be able to tell me. I would like to 356 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:32,399 Speaker 1: know the demographics of whoever the tenant is because it 357 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 1: doesn't matter. But oh girl ain't gonna play a Cosia 358 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:44,160 Speaker 1: say do that again? Iowa, call me good. 359 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,840 Speaker 4: I can't even come to my home. This is the 360 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:49,880 Speaker 4: most disheartening thing that you can imagine. 361 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,879 Speaker 5: Acusia dan Koi has owned this home in Iowa Colony 362 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:55,639 Speaker 5: for years. She decided to rent it out when she 363 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 5: accepted a job out of state. What if her seemed 364 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,280 Speaker 5: like a good investment decision has turned into a nightmare. 365 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 4: January completely she stopped pan rent. February, no rent, marchinal rent. 366 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: What a coast to us? Since we saw this during COVID, 367 00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,680 Speaker 1: which this is the ultimate and communism, This is the 368 00:25:11,720 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 1: destruction of private property. This is the you know what 369 00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 1: ends up happening nobody rents their home. So this is 370 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,719 Speaker 1: what happens in India. People will just shudder their home. 371 00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: They won't let a tenant in there because once they 372 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:22,000 Speaker 1: get in there, they have so many rights you can't 373 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 1: kick them out. This is Tracy Baird and welcome to 374 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,399 Speaker 1: the lifestyles of the not so rich and famous, or 375 00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:42,879 Speaker 1: as I call it, the Michael Berry jail. You know, 376 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:46,760 Speaker 1: up until that that song had kind of an intro 377 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:48,800 Speaker 1: like it was going to be an ony o by 378 00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 1: dead spoof ad, doesn't it? So I must have seen it, 379 00:25:55,359 --> 00:26:03,400 Speaker 1: all right, nothing like him in years all. How about 380 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 1: the fact that Roger Dalter is doing literally blind and 381 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 1: death lightly ironic, maybe more than slightly. Okay, let's go 382 00:26:20,600 --> 00:26:22,640 Speaker 1: back to this story and then we'll take call seven 383 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 1: one three one, and here's what happens. Economies develop and 384 00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 1: based on those economies, people invest or, withdraw their money, 385 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:47,720 Speaker 1: they rent, or they don't. They in response to actions, 386 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,479 Speaker 1: they react as we will now see what people are 387 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,560 Speaker 1: going to do as a result of the terroriffs been 388 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: reading about Brazil positioning themselves to strengthen, Uh, there are 389 00:26:57,359 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 1: countries that that's what media people are not highly sophisticated 390 00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 1: in understanding the complexities of an issue like this. If 391 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 1: we stop importing so many take any country Chinese goods 392 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 1: because the tariff affects the price to such an extent. 393 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:19,920 Speaker 1: If that happens, and I don't know that it will. 394 00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:25,440 Speaker 1: If that happens, there are other countries out there begging 395 00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:29,000 Speaker 1: to get in who are going to do things. And 396 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:30,760 Speaker 1: I've said this a number of times and I will 397 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:34,680 Speaker 1: say it again because it's important you understand it, especially 398 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 1: for government controlled industry. China is more concerned with their industry, 399 00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 1: which is their government, than they are their consumers. So 400 00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:51,399 Speaker 1: if China can or South Korea to a lesser extent 401 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:56,199 Speaker 1: government control, but still if we close down our marketplace 402 00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: to them with high tariffs and they can't send their 403 00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: products here, that will cripple their economy. So if they 404 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 1: have to open their market to more of our products 405 00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:14,160 Speaker 1: in order to do that, unless and until we're hurting 406 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: their domestic production, because they also are creating things for 407 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:22,600 Speaker 1: their own economy. But in many third world countries it's 408 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 1: export only. When you go to India my wife's extended family, 409 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 1: when you say, oh, well, you know you can buy 410 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 1: that leather good, they'll say no, no, no, that's export 411 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,840 Speaker 1: only because those products are not even sold on the 412 00:28:36,920 --> 00:28:39,920 Speaker 1: Indian market because the Indian consumer does not have the 413 00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,880 Speaker 1: purchasing power that the American consumer does. So there are 414 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,480 Speaker 1: products made in India that you can't even buy in India, 415 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 1: and that's true of a lot of countries because they're 416 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:52,760 Speaker 1: exported here. So they're not trying to protect their market, 417 00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,960 Speaker 1: their domestic market from our leather goods, because we can't 418 00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,880 Speaker 1: make leather goods as cheaply as they can, because you know, 419 00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 1: somebody might make one hundred rupees a day or less, 420 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 1: a dollar a day or less, and we, of course 421 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 1: can't match those wages. So there's going to be a 422 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 1: lot of jostling that comes out of all this. All right, 423 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:12,600 Speaker 1: play old girls. 424 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 4: Bit, I can't even come to my home. This is 425 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:17,880 Speaker 4: the most disheartening thing that you can imagine. 426 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 5: Acusia Denkoa has owned this home in Iowa Colony for years. 427 00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 5: She decided to rent it out when she accepted a 428 00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 5: job out of state. What if her seemed like a 429 00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 5: good investment decision has turned into a nightmare. 430 00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:32,720 Speaker 4: January completely she stopped paying rent. February no rent, marchinal rent. 431 00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,520 Speaker 5: When Accostua says the tenants quit paying rent in January, 432 00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,920 Speaker 5: she gave them a notice of eviction, but when she 433 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 5: went to file the eviction at her local JP court 434 00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 5: in Bersoria County, she says she was told she'd have 435 00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:44,600 Speaker 5: to wait until thirty days passed. 436 00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 2: They've been living in my house for months. 437 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 5: Won't pay rent Now, she says, the tenants have stopped 438 00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 5: communicating completely, and whenever she comes over now, the tenants 439 00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:54,520 Speaker 5: call the police. 440 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 4: Two grown people are mad at me for paying their rent, 441 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 4: taking care of his family as. 442 00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,480 Speaker 2: A man, but he's mad at me. 443 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:07,840 Speaker 5: We tried to speak with the tenants herself. 444 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 1: And she got into his man. See that's another thing 445 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 1: a white person would never do that. Well, I'm just 446 00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:16,040 Speaker 1: here to try to do the right thing. And you know, 447 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 1: we do have a contractual relationship. And I thought in 448 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 1: the state of Texas that when you sign a contract 449 00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 1: for a lease, which is what a conlease is, it 450 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 1: is a contract that you should need to honor the 451 00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,040 Speaker 1: terms of those contracts. And it says right here in 452 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:34,720 Speaker 1: section nine, sub A that tenants shall make payment in 453 00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:37,920 Speaker 1: a reasonable amount of time. And she's like, what kind of. 454 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:38,640 Speaker 3: Man he is? 455 00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 1: Huh?

Telling the coosa, you make a 459 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 1: better face of all this, because she's like, I gotta 460 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,520 Speaker 1: pay this thing, and so if I got to pay it, 461 00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,280 Speaker 1: you gotta pay it.

You know, maybe we've 490 00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 1: given the tenants to Oh she's in flip flops. 491 00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:21,440 Speaker 2: No, she's not. 492 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,640 Speaker 1: Girl, She got the puppies out for all to see. 493 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 1: She is there to collect the rent.

White women 496 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 1: don't have enough heft in their hair to do this. 497 00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,320 Speaker 1: But where they put it up on top, okay, like 498 00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,720 Speaker 1: a nest up there, and then they push pins through 499 00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:46,320 Speaker 1: it like they push like heavy duty chopsticks.
