The 10 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 3: thing is, Bob, it's not that I'm lazy, It's that 11 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,519 Speaker 3: I just don't care working. 12 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 4: Not five bottle verse. 13 00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:55,440 Speaker 5: Just tell us about this email and what it was 14 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,800 Speaker 5: like receiving it and what you all have talked about 15 00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 5: after getting it. 16 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 6: I got this email Saturday afternoon, about three pm, and 17 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:09,680 Speaker 6: I felt absolutely infuriated getting this email with a demand 18 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 6: within forty eight hours to provide a response and what 19 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 6: I did within the last week or face termination. 20 00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:22,960 Speaker 7: Managers that had to be in office yesterday, and we 21 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 7: waited there all day until maybe twelve one o'clock and 22 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 7: then it was kind of like a fire and range. 23 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 7: They mined us up, took our equipment, and. 24 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 2: Sent us home. 25 00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: His pride and passion taken away, Yes, and. 26 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 8: Fine, so taking it again days you mine and you 27 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,120 Speaker 8: nene A get credit gets fine. 28 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 2: I'll admit I'm a little bit obsessed on the laying 29 00:01:56,880 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 2: off the government employees, the one and it gets me 30 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 2: as a woman that went on I can't remember seeing NMSNBC. 31 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 2: It's all the same. But she's talking about the fact 32 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 2: that she had to respond within forty eight hours what 33 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:20,640 Speaker 2: she had done this past week, and this wasn't enough time. 34 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,840 Speaker 2: She wasn't able to It's unfair. She was insulted. But 35 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 2: you had time to book yourself on a TV show, 36 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 2: get to a studio, get makeup done and all dressed 37 00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 2: up for it, and do the interview before that forty 38 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 2: eight hours elapsed. I think you had time to fill 39 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 2: out your report. Yeah, But of course it's not about 40 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:55,960 Speaker 2: the time. What we're seeing now is something that if 41 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 2: we were to discuss, would be hard to explain. But 42 00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 2: when it's laid bare on exhibition on national TV, it 43 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 2: becomes quite abundantly clear, and that is that government workers 44 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:17,360 Speaker 2: don't feel they should be held accountable because they never 45 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 2: have been. They are the most entitled, they're better than you. 46 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:30,920 Speaker 2: This is the mindset of the inspector when you're going, dude, 47 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 2: it's eight inches from the wall and you want it 48 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,520 Speaker 2: to be nine inches. That's going to cost me twenty 49 00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 2: eight thousand dollars. It's going to delay my project for 50 00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:45,839 Speaker 2: six months. I don't care. This is the mindset. You're 51 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 2: seeing it as clearly as possible, the idea. It's like 52 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 2: a simmering. What do they call that when people go 53 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 2: to work. Young people brag that they do it like 54 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 2: quiet or something like that. You remember the term for that, 55 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 2: Huh No, it's quitting. Quitting they call it where where 56 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,680 Speaker 2: you basically don't care that you get fired, so you 57 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 2: just show up, don't do anything until they finally you 58 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,560 Speaker 2: just don't put anything in. And young people, some young 59 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 2: people are very proud of that. That's kind of what 60 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 2: these government employees have been doing forever. I remember at 61 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 2: the city, I'd have people tell me. I'd say, hey, 62 00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 2: we're having problems with old Sam Sami Badrin, and I 63 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:34,200 Speaker 2: shouldn't say that's probably somebody's name with old Sam Samon 64 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,599 Speaker 2: Badron and public works and we can't get him to 65 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 2: get his work done. And we got people complaining about 66 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:46,960 Speaker 2: it that are trying to get projects going, and they'd say, counselmen, 67 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 2: we we can't get him to do anything. Well, let's 68 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 2: get him fired. Hadn't anybody been fired here in forever? 69 00:04:55,640 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 2: And if nobody is ever fired in an organization, that 70 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 2: organization is not going to be at maximum efficiency. People 71 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 2: get mad about let's take Bregman. They're upset, although people 72 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 2: are not as upset as I thought they would have been. 73 00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:18,320 Speaker 2: Are you noticing that? People? But they'll get upset that 74 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,000 Speaker 2: you trade a player away without understanding that if this 75 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:28,200 Speaker 2: organization or any organization is going to perform at peak performance, 76 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 2: they are going to have to be people who don't 77 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 2: make it. If everybody makes the team and everybody gets 78 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 2: to play, that's great. If you're eight but not in 79 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:44,920 Speaker 2: the pros and you know you win the championship. And 80 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 2: a good GM is huddling with a good owner and saying, 81 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 2: all right, who contributed, but is up for a new 82 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 2: contract and is not worth the extra money that we 83 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 2: could spend that money on getting a better person. Well 84 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 2: that that kind of organizational development and maintenance, which it's 85 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 2: a constant to do, is not at play in the government. 86 00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 2: It doesn't attract the kind of people with that mindset. 87 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 2: It doesn't reward the kind of people with that mindset. 88 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,359 Speaker 2: And it doesn't have specific goals, it doesn't have a 89 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,159 Speaker 2: clear mission, it doesn't have a purpose, it doesn't have measurables, 90 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 2: and if you don't have measurables, you're going to get 91 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 2: exactly what you see out of the government. There's a 92 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 2: story we'll get to in just a moment that near 93 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 2: NRG Stadium, residents have been waiting for over five months 94 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 2: for a water main break to be fixed, gallons of 95 00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 2: water gushing out since September, and the city has done 96 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:49,039 Speaker 2: absolutely nothing. Public Work says they're aware, there's a league 97 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 2: and it's taken more than five months for repairs. You're aware, 98 00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:57,599 Speaker 2: and it's taken more than five months, and you're aware 99 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:06,799 Speaker 2: how long it is and you're not doing anything. Remember 100 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 2: when the city told us not to run our taps, 101 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 2: not to open the tap when it was cold outside, 102 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 2: which is what you do to keep it from freezing up, 103 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 2: because we had to conserve water. There's your conserve water 104 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 2: big raid at Colony Ridge yesterday. We'll get to that 105 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 2: in just a moment. Trey Harris is John Harris, the 106 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,400 Speaker 2: CEO out there put out a statement saying that he 107 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:37,080 Speaker 2: supports this and he's grateful for the efforts of Tom 108 00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 2: Homan and the guys.

Did you have no idea 116 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 2: what was going on out there or did you just 117 00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:09,520 Speaker 2: choose to look the other way? The same Colony Ridge 118 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 2: that we've had people from all over the country calling 119 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 2: us that they're aware of it, and you've done nothing. 120 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 2: This came from the Feds, by the way, Oh can 121 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 2: I can I get credit for it?

It's 340 00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 2: worth the time to set up these schemes because you're 341 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 2: talking eighty ninety million dollars at a pop. Here was 342 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:20,160 Speaker 2: the Houston Chronicle story. 343 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 9: On Wednesday, a panel of state officials gathered to talk 344 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,240 Speaker 9: about the Texas Lottery Commission's budget, but the hearing quickly 345 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:27,400 Speaker 9: turned into something else. 346 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:30,119 Speaker 4: And then somebody showed up with about eleven million dollars 347 00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:36,560 Speaker 4: in cash to buy tickets. Would you consider that an 348 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:38,720 Speaker 4: ordinary operation? 349 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:39,640 Speaker 2: That's right. 350 00:21:40,200 --> 00:21:42,920 Speaker 9: Suddenly lawmakers wanted to hear more about the operation we've 351 00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:45,800 Speaker 9: been writing about for nearly a year. In April twenty 352 00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:49,120 Speaker 9: twenty three, a single lottery player calling itself Rook Texas, 353 00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 9: guaranteed it would win the ninety five million dollars Lotto 354 00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:55,959 Speaker 9: Texas jackpot by buying up every number combination. More than 355 00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 9: twenty five million tickets, by our calculations, were clear to 356 00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,919 Speaker 9: twenty min million dollar profit. We reported how the Texas 357 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:04,800 Speaker 9: Lottery Commission went out of its way to help the 358 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,879 Speaker 9: operations organizers, but lawmakers saw a bigger potential problem. 359 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,479 Speaker 2: If I was trying to launder money in this country, 360 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 2: I would buy twenty five million dollars worth of lottery tickets. 361 00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 2: This is ninety nine percent probability of money laundry. 362 00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 9: Lottery commissioners, who are appointed by gog Berner Greg Abbott agreed. 363 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,439 Speaker 4: To answer your question, yes, that that sounds incredibly. 364 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:29,600 Speaker 10: Irregular, And for the. 365 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 9: First time since we've covered this story, the lottery's director 366 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,399 Speaker 9: admitted that maybe helping a single buyer arranged to win 367 00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 9: a guaranteed jackpot win wasn't such a great idea. 368 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 2: I think it definitely hurt the integrity and perception of 369 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:43,200 Speaker 2: that game, and all. 370 00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 9: That was before the real bombshell dropped. 371 00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 8: I'm here today as legal counsel to make the following 372 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 8: statement on behalf of a client group victimized by a 373 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 8: long running criminal conspiracy between the Texas Lottery Commission, former 374 00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 8: Lottery director Gary grief Igt, and the publicly traded nasbat 375 00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 8: Companylottery dot com. 376 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 9: In a letter read to legislators, a group of aggrieved 377 00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:09,160 Speaker 9: investors called the April twenty twenty three Lotto Texas draw 378 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:13,359 Speaker 9: the biggest money long during scheme in global lottery history. 379 00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:17,280 Speaker 9: The Senator seemed alarmed that the Lottery Commission hadn't already 380 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 9: started investigating. 381 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,000 Speaker 2: Let me ask you us a question, then, do you 382 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,400 Speaker 2: think you should receive priority? Yes, sir. 383 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,399 Speaker 9: They also called out the Lottery Commission's recently retired director 384 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,399 Speaker 9: for allowing the controversial buy and. 385 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 15: Gary Grief was the executive director at the time and 386 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,520 Speaker 15: pretty much seemed like turned a blind eye to this. 387 00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 4: If not was eighteen and helping. 388 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,520 Speaker 9: This, then they called in the big guns. 389 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:45,119 Speaker 12: We just need to call them Texas rangers immediately. 390 00:23:45,480 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 9: You can read more about the hearing and how a 391 00:23:47,359 --> 00:23:50,120 Speaker 9: single buyer stacked the odds in a Texas lottery game 392 00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:53,120 Speaker 9: in the Houston Chronicle. Will be staying on this story. 393 00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 2: You know well. Senator Bob Hall, who has been leading 394 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,960 Speaker 2: the charge on them, made a statement quote one step 395 00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,479 Speaker 2: at a time. The crime syndicate inside the Texas Lottery 396 00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:11,760 Speaker 2: Commission completely destroyed what the nineteen ninety two Texas legislature 397 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 2: intended to be an honest game of chance with specific 398 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:22,920 Speaker 2: guardrails to protect miners and addicts. So we can't have 399 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:27,639 Speaker 2: legalized gambling in Texas. There are a couple of reasons. 400 00:24:27,880 --> 00:24:30,200 Speaker 2: One is some people will say God doesn't want you 401 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:34,120 Speaker 2: to and those same people love to wink wink, nod 402 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 2: nod head to Louisiana to gamble. Okay, so you're not 403 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:42,040 Speaker 2: really opposed to it. Maybe it makes it more thrilling 404 00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 2: that it's illegal here and you're breaking the law to 405 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 2: go to Louisiana to gamble instead of being able to 406 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 2: drive twenty minutes to do it. Okay, you need that. 407 00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:57,320 Speaker 2: It's the people who push for the Temperance Union and 408 00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,959 Speaker 2: like to drink on the side. They it's a fetish, 409 00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 2: it's a weirdness, but they do it. And there are 410 00:25:01,960 --> 00:25:05,680 Speaker 2: these types of people. But it's also the case that 411 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 2: God want God doesn't want gambling in Texas unless the 412 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:14,320 Speaker 2: Indians do it, m or the government runs it and 413 00:25:14,440 --> 00:25:19,399 Speaker 2: guess what, look how it turned out the Michael Mary Show. 414 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 2: Rarely this film penetrate so deeply that after you see something. 415 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:37,800 Speaker 2: The example I would give is Singing in the Rain 416 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:43,679 Speaker 2: from Clockwork Orange. You can never hear the Whimsicals singing 417 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:50,120 Speaker 2: in the rain again. After the scene in Clockwork Orange 418 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 2: where they beat the dude into paralysis the same you 419 00:25:55,640 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 2: will always at least that for me, I always have. 420 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 2: I can never hear this song again, which I had 421 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 2: probably heard a thousand times before that movie and not 422 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,000 Speaker 2: envisioned there you know what was the four or five 423 00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 2: part harmony. The NSSA has now confirmed that they are 424 00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:27,640 Speaker 2: investigating employees quote secret sex chats, as Elon posted when 425 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:31,200 Speaker 2: the story broke. Now we know what the employees were 426 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 2: doing last week. Maybe that's why they couldn't tell us. 427 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 2: Chris Ruffo, has been a guest on the show before, 428 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 2: has revealed from his investigation that an NSA spokesman had 429 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:47,639 Speaker 2: quote confirmed the authenticity of the secret sex chat and 430 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 2: the agency was taking administrative action against the employees who 431 00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 2: had reportedly abused the system. And what exactly supposedly happened 432 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:04,879 Speaker 2: is that you've got government employees who are using a 433 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:10,320 Speaker 2: private chat channel. A former NSA employee and a current 434 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 2: NSA employee provided chat logs from the NSA's into Link 435 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 2: messaging program. This is a secured messaging program supposedly that 436 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 2: the Chinese or the media can't hack, but instead the 437 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:30,879 Speaker 2: site had been taken over by the LGBTQ community within 438 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 2: the group, and it had evolved into discussing constantly sex, kink, polyamory, 439 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:44,600 Speaker 2: and castration. Some of the chat topics featuring male to 440 00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 2: female transgender surgery, discussing hair removal, estrogen injections, and the 441 00:27:51,440 --> 00:28:00,880 Speaker 2: experience of sexual pleasure post castration. That's what our government employees. 442 00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 2: We're doing on a site that the NSA was investing 443 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,440 Speaker 2: energy and money to keep private from the public and 444 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:20,080 Speaker 2: presumably foreign interest who might do us harm locally. We've 445 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:26,360 Speaker 2: got equal parts uselessness. ABC thirteen reports in clip number 446 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 2: ten that the Public Works Department can't seem to fix 447 00:28:31,359 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 2: a water main that's been busted for over five months, 448 00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 2: but they did admit, yeah, we're aware. We're aware it's busted. 449 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:46,160 Speaker 2: We've been aware for five months, and we're not gonna 450 00:28:46,200 --> 00:28:48,840 Speaker 2: fix it now. I don't know if that's because they're 451 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:52,520 Speaker 2: on sex chats. I don't know if they're busy taking bribes. 452 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,400 Speaker 2: I don't know if they're busy visiting their buddies who 453 00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,080 Speaker 2: worked for them a few weeks ago, who are now 454 00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 2: in prison under the Turner administration. We just know they're 455 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:01,160 Speaker 2: not fixing the waterman. 456 00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 1: Resident here at Tellison that she has called three one 457 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 1: one four times within just the last few months. Go 458 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:09,080 Speaker 1: ahead and take a look at this right behind me. 459 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 1: You can see that water just keeps gushing, and people 460 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 1: walking through the area are just avoiding this corner at 461 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,600 Speaker 1: all costs, they tell me, because that water just keeps 462 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 1: flowing onto the streets. And the same resident tells me 463 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 1: she noticed the leak in late August and called three 464 00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,280 Speaker 1: to one one in September to report it after it 465 00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:28,120 Speaker 1: wasn't fixed. In fact, according to the city's website, there 466 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 1: was a case number dating back to mid September. She 467 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 1: tells me she and others have made calls to the 468 00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 1: city several times since. I'm also being told people are 469 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:38,600 Speaker 1: having trouble walking along the sidewalk near the leak and 470 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 1: also crossing the street. It's also hard for families to 471 00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 1: have strollers for their kids. On top of that, they're 472 00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:46,760 Speaker 1: worries about what could potentially happen to the road. 473 00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:50,840 Speaker 12: You can also see the road on that side once 474 00:29:50,920 --> 00:29:53,000 Speaker 12: these cars are gone, are just kind of starting to sink, 475 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 12: And I do worry about a sinkhole. 476 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:57,800 Speaker 2: What if we have a giant sinkhole here now? 477 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:01,080 Speaker 1: So the cities work a public workstip Arman did acknowledge 478 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 1: the situation.

They also 482 00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:14,720 Speaker 1: went out to say our team is dealing with a 483 00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 1: backlog of repairs from the city's aging infrastructure, and that 484 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,440 Speaker 1: same stateman also did say the department is going to 485 00:30:21,560 --> 00:30:24,200 Speaker 1: fix the leak next Wednesday and right now they're also 486 00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,959 Speaker 1: working on adding more crew members as well to address 487 00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:29,520 Speaker 1: the issues when it comes to repair times as well 488 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 1: as a city's aging infrastructure. 489 00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:36,280 Speaker 2: Meanwhile, my mother went to an HISD school board meeting 490 00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,920 Speaker 2: at bel Air High School to tell the story of 491 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:46,560 Speaker 2: a child who was being groomed for gender transition at 492 00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 2: the school.

We 500 00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 13: were shocked to learn that the high school was actively 501 00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:17,720 Speaker 13: socially transitioning our daughter by calling her by a different 502 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 13: name in pronounce. On the first day of ninth grade, 503 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,960 Speaker 13: my daughter's theater teacher sent home an information sheet for 504 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 13: us to fill out. The second line of the sheet 505 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:29,640 Speaker 13: asked for her pronouns. Multiple teachers started calling her by 506 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 13: a different name in pronounce. One teacher even went as 507 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 13: far as to cross out my daughter's legal name that 508 00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,960 Speaker 13: she had written on her paper and write her chosen 509 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:40,760 Speaker 13: name in red ink. This occurred without our knowledge and 510 00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:44,240 Speaker 13: certainly without our consent. This goes against our Christian faith, 511 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 13: the advice of her therapist, and quite frankly, common sense 512 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,240 Speaker 13: we met with her teachers, counselors, and the principal to 513 00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:54,400 Speaker 13: no avail, HISD is purposely and secretively transitioning Minor. 514 00:31:57,040 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 2: Thank you cut her mic. You don't. If you're on 515 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 2: the board of trustees of HISD. That's like the board 516 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 2: of directors of a company. You're not at the school 517 00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:16,400 Speaker 2: all day. Every day you are providing oversight and a 518 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:23,160 Speaker 2: general vision. You're not there at the school delivering educational services, 519 00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 2: So you have to rely on whistleblowers and constituents or 520 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,360 Speaker 2: stakeholders as they love to say, to tell you what 521 00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 2: the hell's going on. Now you've got a woman who's 522 00:32:35,840 --> 00:32:40,560 Speaker 2: come down to do just that, and you're choosing to go, yep, 523 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 2: that's it, time up, get on out of hair, shut 524 00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:49,160 Speaker 2: her down because you don't want to hear that, because 525 00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 2: you don't want to address it, don't. I think the 526 00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 2: woman's name was Denise Bell. 527 00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 9: Is that what I heard? 528 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:00,880 Speaker 2: Harris County Moms for Liberty. If somebody can put me 529 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:02,880 Speaker 2: in touch with her, I'd like to put some air 530 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:06,680 Speaker 2: under this story. My email address is through the website 531 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,320 Speaker 2: Michael Barryshow dot com, and let's say send Michael an 532 00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 2: email and either have Denise Bell herself do it, or 533 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,520 Speaker 2: you do it and send me her phone number. I 534 00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 2: would like to explore this story more. And if they're 535 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:23,960 Speaker 2: going to cut her mic, we have a few more 536 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,920 Speaker 2: people listening than they do, and we're going to call 537 00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:31,120 Speaker 2: out each HISD school board member by name who did 538 00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,480 Speaker 2: not stand up and say, wait a minute, wait a minute. 539 00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,920 Speaker 2: If this is even ten percent true, this is very troubling. 540 00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,600 Speaker 2: Let's get this story on the record. And let's get 541 00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 2: it investigated, which, as I understand, they did not. So 542 00:33:43,920 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 2: laws in your court, Denise Bell, and great job by 543 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:46,480 Speaker 2: the way.
