1 00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:06,720 Speaker 1: Lock and load. Michael Very show is on the air. 2 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,920 Speaker 1: This okay, it is not to rush, so you can 3 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 1: pull your comrade back. I will be very very strong 4 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,200 Speaker 1: in terms of law order. Is it not long order? 5 00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: We're going to be taking very closely we go. 6 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 2: Those demonstrators are making your way down the ramp and 7 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:33,879 Speaker 2: onto the one on one freeway. This is, I think 8 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 2: a concern that we had seen a little earlier. The 9 00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,680 Speaker 2: freeway had been shut down by law enforcement, and it 10 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:39,840 Speaker 2: is now being shut. 11 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 1: Down by the other side. 12 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 2: Demonstrators are on the surface of the southbound one on 13 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 2: one freeway and blocking traffic. 14 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,319 Speaker 1: Tear out the freeway officer down to hit with a rock, 15 00:00:50,360 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: a temple. They're there to restore order. Anyone who looks 16 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 1: at the scene on your TV, look at that. It's 17 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: out of control. 18 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 3: What normal person, what member of the public feels comfortable 19 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 3: being in downtown and lay right now? 20 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: Nobody? So I don't know what he's talking about. He 21 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: needs to watch the TV and see what's going on. 22 00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: It's out of control. And since he can't control the state, 23 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,680 Speaker 1: he can't control the lawlessness, we will do it for him. 24 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: And that's what the president's doing. He's deploying the National Guard. 25 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: We will have order in the city of Los Angeles. 26 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 1: And I tell him them, nobody's gonna spit on our 27 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,759 Speaker 1: police offices. Nobody's gonna spit on our military, which they 28 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: do is a common thing. They get up to him 29 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: just far away, and then it's like spitting in the face. 30 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 1: That happens. They get hit very hard, that violence that 31 00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: you were referring to. 32 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 4: Just you can see that there's a car burning in 33 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 4: the background. And while they made a semicircle here on 34 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:44,480 Speaker 4: the street, you can see that the Weimo over there 35 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 4: has been vandalized, and we understand that some cars over 36 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,639 Speaker 4: there may also be waymos that have been set on fire. 37 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 5: The gomn Neus some's a embarrassment for the stake. He's 38 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 5: the one that's feeding this at Mantra. He supports sanctuary cities, 39 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 5: he supports sancstory laws. If you cared to if you 40 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 5: cared about public stations, stay of California, he would not have. 41 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:04,760 Speaker 1: A sanctuary for criminals. For criminals get. 42 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 5: Released in the streets of this state every day because 43 00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 5: of his part. 44 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 1: Just as I have told me, everything in la is staged, 45 00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:13,640 Speaker 1: every bit of it. It's all fake it is not 46 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 1: that a few folks were upset about the deportation of 47 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 1: their fellow illegal aliens, and so they gathered in the 48 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: square and more came, and you know, it was interesting 49 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:31,799 Speaker 1: thing to be at, and it just grew and do 50 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: and grew. Remember they told us that with Tarier Square 51 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: and the Arab Spring. I remember there was there was 52 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:44,519 Speaker 1: a film that had been released in Egypt and it 53 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 1: had upset people and as a result, then we had 54 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: the Arab Spring. You know, there was there was the 55 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:59,800 Speaker 1: sweet fellow at the Kabab that the donut Kebab little cart, 56 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: and he was killed and there was a reaction because 57 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,959 Speaker 1: he was a good man. And then that just you know, 58 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: there was there was bubbling beneath the bubbling beneath it 59 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 1: all in the secular Muslim nations, by which I mean 60 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 1: not uh Caliphate puppets. There were Muslims who felt they 61 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 1: were being wronged and they wanted they wanted democracy. And 62 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: Americans fell for this. Barack Obama pushed this Tyrear Square 63 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: and the Arab Spring, and this was a great moment. 64 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 1: This was their Thomas Payin moment. This was their declaration 65 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: of independence. They wanted, they wanted self governance in Egypt, 66 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 1: and Mabarak would not give it to them, and so 67 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: he was a bad guy, and so they just and 68 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: since we support democracy, because democracy is always great, the 69 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:59,040 Speaker 1: people should determine their own future. Democracy is wonderful, much 70 00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: as we saw whatocracy did in nineteen seventy nine when 71 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 1: Komani came to power ousting Shah Paulavi and the Muslim 72 00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: Shia takeover of Iran and it becoming a rogue state 73 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: came to pass. Did the majority of Irani's want that, 74 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 1: I don't know that they did. I think a small 75 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,720 Speaker 1: I think a minority of very violent Irani's, well organized 76 00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 1: pushed the law abiding Iranis out of the country and 77 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 1: took over the country and drove the shaw out. I 78 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: don't believe that was quote unquote democracy that became theocracy 79 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 1: that we should have supported, Nor do I believe that 80 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,919 Speaker 1: the Arab Spring was anything of the sort. It was 81 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 1: a well planned effort to install the Muslim brotherhood, which 82 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: it did, and Egypt took a different direction as a 83 00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: result of it. But hey, the people supposedly voted for it. 84 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: And then we go to this case of Greta Thunberg 85 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 1: and her pro Hamas yacht was on its way bound 86 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 1: for Gaza and the Israeli Defense forces stopped them and 87 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: to screen what was going on. Hey, we want to 88 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,719 Speaker 1: figure out what you're doing. And Greta Thunberg coached as 89 00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 1: she is because she again, nothing she does is real. 90 00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: This isn't a little girl who just doesn't want the 91 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 1: earth to burn up. Notice how many causes she's involved with. 92 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: She said, Oh, we're just bringing aid to the people. 93 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,880 Speaker 1: You want to know the aid they were bringing, the 94 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: supplies they were eating, Yeah, their picnic supplies. Yes, you 95 00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 1: know she's twenty two years old. Now, Yeah, she was 96 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 1: hoisting a Palestinian flag with Game of Thrones actor Liam 97 00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 1: Cunningham and Rema Hassa, a French member of the European 98 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: Parliament who is of Palestinian descent. These people are now 99 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 1: professional activists for every cause designed to bring down Western civilization. 100 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: That's what's happening. If you were to see a compilation 101 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: of all the things that Chinese nationals do on American soil, 102 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 1: especially spying, bribing our elected officials, the Chinese were bribing 103 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:43,120 Speaker 1: Hunter Biden. Where they were bribing Joe Biden. Hunter Biden 104 00:06:43,160 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 1: was the mule that used to carry the cash. You'll 105 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: remember Eric Fartwell was having sex with Fang Bang, who 106 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 1: was a confirmed spy sent by the Chinese government. She 107 00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 1: wasn't only was Fang Bang banging Eric, she was also 108 00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: banging a mayor of a city. You think it's at 109 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 1: the same time, it's not coincidence that she sleeps with politicians. 110 00:07:09,279 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 1: She wants information to send back at the direction of 111 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:17,320 Speaker 1: the Chinese government. Diane Feinstein, who's on a very important 112 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: Senate committee regarding America's national security, her driver of over 113 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,800 Speaker 1: ten years was a Chinese national who it was confirmed 114 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:29,000 Speaker 1: was buying on behalf of the Chinese government. They have infiltrated 115 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,280 Speaker 1: our government from top to bottom, from absolute top to bottom. 116 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,680 Speaker 1: And how many Americans were killed from the virus they 117 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 1: unleashed upon us, which our own government was funding the 118 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: research that led to that. Well, we add to all 119 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 1: of this theme of the Chinese or not our friends, 120 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,600 Speaker 1: they are out to destroy us with a story that 121 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,600 Speaker 1: I met you hadn't heard of. Kind of seems important. 122 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:57,559 Speaker 1: A Chinese national who was a researcher at a lab 123 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: at the University of Michigan, along with her boyfriend, have 124 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: been arrested for smuggling into our country a crop killing 125 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,880 Speaker 1: fungus in what the Department of Justice calls a case 126 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:18,120 Speaker 1: of quote potential agro terrorism, one administration official saying, this 127 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: is an attack on the American food supply. These are 128 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,280 Speaker 1: the sorts of things that China does. They come in 129 00:08:25,320 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 1: and destroy your industry so that you are reliant on them. 130 00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 1: You'd think that President Trump would get more credit for 131 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: taking on the Chinese, but how could he? They bought 132 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: all the people who should be standing beside him. Here's 133 00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:41,800 Speaker 1: Fox News with the story. 134 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 3: Well, FBI Director Cash Bettel called this a direct threat 135 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 3: to national security end quote. This case is a sobering 136 00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:50,280 Speaker 3: reminder that the Chinese Communist Party continues to deploy operatives 137 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 3: and researchers to infiltrate our institutions and target our food 138 00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 3: supply and act that could cripple our economy and endanger 139 00:08:56,920 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 3: American lives. Federal prosecutors who charged a Chinese couple, Young 140 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:04,560 Speaker 3: Qing Chian and zanjug Liu, was smuggling a dangerous biological pathogen, 141 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,640 Speaker 3: the government says. In July, Leo flew from China to Detroit, 142 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 3: where customs officials found a fungus stashed in his backpack, 143 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 3: one prosecutors call a potential agro terrorism weapon. They say 144 00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,560 Speaker 3: Leo wanted to conduct research on it at the University 145 00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:19,400 Speaker 3: of Michigan, where his girlfriend, Jion worked. The FBI says 146 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,800 Speaker 3: it searched Gion's phone and found a form describing her 147 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 3: membership in and loyalty to the Chinese Communist Party, and 148 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,839 Speaker 3: that she previously tried smuggling this same substance into the 149 00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,400 Speaker 3: United States. As some Republicans say, the US should prohibit 150 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 3: any foreign national affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party from 151 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,640 Speaker 3: getting a student visa. The University of Michigan says it's 152 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,600 Speaker 3: cooperating with law enforcement end quote. We strongly condemn any 153 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 3: actions that seek to cause harm threat national security. It 154 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,880 Speaker 3: is important to note that the university has received no 155 00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:46,920 Speaker 3: funding from the Chinese government in relation to research conducted 156 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 3: by the accused individuals. Gion is in federal custod depending 157 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 3: on here in tomorrow afternoon. Official say Leo, her boyfriend 158 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 3: was denied entry into the US last year and returned 159 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 3: to China after customs official seiz's backpack. The Chinese Embassy 160 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,040 Speaker 3: in DC says the Chinese government requires its cit this 161 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 3: is to abide by local laws. 162 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:07,840 Speaker 1: So imagine, oh, mid nineteenth century, and you're seeking to 163 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 1: cripple Ireland, and you introduce some sort of a fungus, 164 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:15,840 Speaker 1: some sort of a beetle, some sort of an insect, 165 00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: whatever that may be, that will destroy the Irish potato crop, 166 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:27,719 Speaker 1: you can bring the nation to its knees. Or imagine 167 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:35,000 Speaker 1: you are seeking to cripple the American South's cotton crop. 168 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:40,640 Speaker 1: The bowl weavil did exactly that. It migrated to the 169 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,199 Speaker 1: United States from Mexico in the late nineteenth century, so 170 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:47,080 Speaker 1: the late eighteen hundreds, and by the nineteen twenties it 171 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: had infested America's cotton growing regions. In the industry was devastated. 172 00:10:56,679 --> 00:11:04,000 Speaker 1: It wrought so much much suffering on people who worked 173 00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,800 Speaker 1: in various aspects of that industry. Or you know, you 174 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 1: could find a similar example the BP explosion or BP 175 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: spill that hit southern Louisiana so bad. Plackhaman's Parish was just, 176 00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 1: you know, one big oil dump. It's not just the 177 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:31,840 Speaker 1: people who work in the industry, it's the fishermen. In 178 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,719 Speaker 1: that case, it's the people who supply the fishermen. It's 179 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,320 Speaker 1: the people who drive the fish. It's the people who 180 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 1: provide the gas, to those who drive the fish. You know, 181 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: when you do damage to an industry, you do damage 182 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 1: to an entire circle of folks that rely on that customer. 183 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 1: So how many of these cases do we have to 184 00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:01,680 Speaker 1: have until we take strong action and say, or instance, China, 185 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: you've done it too many times. We are deporting every 186 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 1: Chinese national that would get their attention, or China we 187 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 1: are no longer, no longer allowing anyone from China into 188 00:12:17,679 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 1: this country. And people go, well, that's not fair to 189 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:25,880 Speaker 1: those people. Okay, how else do you get China's attention? 190 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:30,720 Speaker 1: Because they know that we won't do this, and they 191 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:36,120 Speaker 1: continue to do harm to our country, to our systems, 192 00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:43,080 Speaker 1: to our you name it right, And so they will 193 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 1: because eventually she's going to get this fungus, she's going 194 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,079 Speaker 1: to get it into the fields, and she's going to 195 00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:51,280 Speaker 1: hurt the American commony, probably a lot of Americans in 196 00:12:51,320 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 1: the process. Michael Berryshaw I owned a place called the 197 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:05,000 Speaker 1: Redneck Country Club and we booked David allen Coe to play, 198 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: and I was so excited. I love his music, I 199 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 1: love his writing, and he's famous for walking off stage 200 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:16,960 Speaker 1: if he doesn't like if the air conditioning is on 201 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 1: because he says it bad for his voice. If someone 202 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:22,959 Speaker 1: screams out you never even called me by my name 203 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 1: because they want to hear his most famous song, He'll 204 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:30,800 Speaker 1: walk off stage, he'll throw stuff, he'll cuss people out, 205 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:36,680 Speaker 1: he'll cut the night short. So I had warned our 206 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:40,120 Speaker 1: members at our club. You know, if you buy tickets 207 00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,839 Speaker 1: to see David Allen Cole, you gotta understand. If you're 208 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 1: the reason he gets kicked out, you'll never be allowed 209 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,880 Speaker 1: back in again. So I had everybody prepared with an 210 00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:54,480 Speaker 1: email to every member of the club. Then I got 211 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 1: on stage before he went out, and I said, all right, guys, 212 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:01,640 Speaker 1: you should have received an email. But in case some 213 00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,000 Speaker 1: of you are with the person who got the email 214 00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 1: and they haven't told you about it, you are not 215 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: to call out and request songs. This is David Allen 216 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:15,000 Speaker 1: Cooch show, not yours, and he can be difficult, and 217 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: I want him to finish the event now. On the weekend, 218 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:24,760 Speaker 1: before that event, he had walked off after one song 219 00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: or two because something had upset him. I don't remember what. 220 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:35,280 Speaker 1: He's volatile. So we have the event. I'm on pins 221 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: and needles, tenterhooks, the whole time the event goes off, 222 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: he leaves and he's back in the green room. Except 223 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: the green room because we haven't opened inside, we only 224 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: have the outdoor side of the venue is just an 225 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 1: area under construction with an old glider recliner sitting there 226 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: for two people. And his manager comes to get me. 227 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 1: You're the owner, Yes, I am, mister Cole would like 228 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: to talk to you, I said, oh lord, So I 229 00:15:06,560 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 1: start walking back. I figure he's gonna cuss me out. 230 00:15:10,120 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: The man's served serious time in prison, and you know, 231 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: he's legendary for his temper tantrums and for being violent. 232 00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 1: And so my brother and my best friend both think 233 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: they're serving as my security. They're following behind me, and 234 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 1: I turned back because I'm pretty sure he's gonna cust 235 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: me out over something. And I don't mind being cussed out. 236 00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 1: If nobody else sees it, I don't even need to 237 00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 1: tell anybody it happened. So I turned back and kind 238 00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: of pushed them with my you know, on my hands, like, hey, guys, y'all, 239 00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 1: don't follow me. I don't want you near me. And 240 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: so they stop, but little do I know, they still 241 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:51,080 Speaker 1: followed me. So I walk in and he's sitting there 242 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,000 Speaker 1: and he makes eye contact with me, and he pats 243 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: the seat beside him to sit down beside him. So 244 00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: I do, and he turns and he stares at me. Well, 245 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 1: I know what this is. It's a power play, my move. 246 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:14,960 Speaker 1: He wants to see what I'm going to say. I 247 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,040 Speaker 1: had not prepared for this. I was there to react 248 00:16:18,040 --> 00:16:20,960 Speaker 1: to what he says. He doesn't say a word, He 249 00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: hasn't said a word yet. He has padded the seat 250 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:28,160 Speaker 1: beside him to sit down beside him, So we're both 251 00:16:28,200 --> 00:16:30,720 Speaker 1: facing forward, and he swivels his head to look at me, 252 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,840 Speaker 1: and I swilled my head to look at him. And 253 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: he pauses and he kind of gives a half shrug, like, 254 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 1: what are you going to say? Well, hell, you invited 255 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 1: me back here. I don't know what I'm going to say. Well, 256 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: what I do know, having done my research, is he 257 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: doesn't want me to bring up the song you never 258 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,840 Speaker 1: even call me by my name. He's played that song 259 00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 1: so many thousand times. He don't want to play it again. 260 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: They won't talk about it. Well, I'm a deep I'm 261 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: a fan of the deep work and writings of David 262 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:07,159 Speaker 1: on Co. And I said, your version of Pledging My 263 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:14,040 Speaker 1: Love and your tribute to Johnny Ace moves me to tears. 264 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:18,119 Speaker 1: That's what we just played for you. What I just played, 265 00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 1: what Ramon just played right there. It's Johnny Ace's birthdays. 266 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:22,760 Speaker 1: Why are we doing this? Ninety six he would have 267 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:27,840 Speaker 1: been ninety six today. And he looks at me, squinched 268 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 1: his eyes, and he puts his index finger in my chest, 269 00:17:31,920 --> 00:17:37,760 Speaker 1: and he said, you you're a real fan. People call 270 00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,400 Speaker 1: out and to me, you never even called me by 271 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 1: my name. That's probably the only song you know, but 272 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: you you are a real fan, because that's the first 273 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:51,800 Speaker 1: thing that came to my mind. I hadn't prepared for this. 274 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: I hadn't prepared to meet him. I was just glad 275 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 1: he came and didn't cuss anybody out or shoot the 276 00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,840 Speaker 1: place up, and he finished the show. That moment was 277 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: so powerful to him. When he was in the he 278 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,960 Speaker 1: grew up in correctional institutes. He was a juvenile delinquent 279 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,520 Speaker 1: and one of the guards took pity on him when 280 00:18:10,600 --> 00:18:15,959 Speaker 1: Johnny Ace had died suddenly and told him and his 281 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:20,479 Speaker 1: favorite song by Johnny Ace was Pledging My Love, and 282 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,879 Speaker 1: he had always wanted to perform that on stage as 283 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,199 Speaker 1: a tribute to Johnny Ace, but he was never able to. 284 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,399 Speaker 1: And one time live in concert he did it, and 285 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 1: he told that story. He has taken all these years 286 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:33,440 Speaker 1: for me to be able to pay tribute. 287 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:34,680 Speaker 6: Well. 288 00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:38,160 Speaker 1: Johnny As had died. He was twenty five years old. 289 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,280 Speaker 1: He had been touring for a year, and he was 290 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 1: performing in Houston at the City Auditorium on Christmas Day 291 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,920 Speaker 1: in nineteen fifty four, and there was a break between 292 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,160 Speaker 1: sets and he was playing around with a thirty two 293 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 1: caliber revolver and his band members said he would do 294 00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 1: this often. Johnny Ace had shot to the top. He'd 295 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:02,399 Speaker 1: only been famous for but boy, he was famous. He 296 00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 1: was big. His band members said, as they were driving along, 297 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,800 Speaker 1: they didn't have a tour bus at that point. The 298 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: drive along in the car, he would shoot road signs 299 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: out the window. He was playing with this gun. A 300 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:17,439 Speaker 1: lot of people have claimed that he was playing Russian 301 00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 1: Roulette with the pistol and and that's how he ended 302 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:25,719 Speaker 1: up dying. But his bass player Curtis Tillman was in 303 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,679 Speaker 1: the room right next to him when it happened, and 304 00:19:27,720 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: he says, quote, I'll tell you exactly what happened. Johnny 305 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,960 Speaker 1: Ace had been drinking and he had this little pistol 306 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: he was waving around the table and somebody said, be 307 00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:43,000 Speaker 1: careful with that thing, and he said, it's okay. This 308 00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,680 Speaker 1: gun's not loaded, see and he put it in himself, 309 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 1: with a smile on his face, pulled the trigger. Sad, 310 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 1: sad thing. Big Mama ran out of the dressing room. 311 00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 1: He's talking about talking about Big Mama Thornton because she 312 00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:01,960 Speaker 1: was on tour with him, yelling, Johnny Ace just killed himself. 313 00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:06,399 Speaker 1: Well to a young, impressionable David allen Coe who loved 314 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: that song. That moment stuck with him when he sang 315 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,640 Speaker 1: about it on stage. And isn't it interesting, No matter 316 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,920 Speaker 1: how big you get, no matter how rich, no matter 317 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:18,679 Speaker 1: how famous, you can still take yourself back to that 318 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,800 Speaker 1: moment when you were a fan of another person and 319 00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,479 Speaker 1: their music or their art or their acting or their writing, 320 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:29,160 Speaker 1: or they're pitching or they're shooting, you've got them. Michael 321 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:36,840 Speaker 1: Berry show The latest break in the very odd story 322 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:42,880 Speaker 1: of a former Arkansas police chief who went to prison 323 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: for rape and murder and then he escaped from prison. 324 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: The really funny thing about that is, in my odd 325 00:20:55,040 --> 00:21:00,920 Speaker 1: should I say inmates hate law enforcement. When law enforcement 326 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:07,480 Speaker 1: officers are facing trial, there's a higher than usual likelihood 327 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,399 Speaker 1: that they will commit suicide. And the reason is because 328 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:12,399 Speaker 1: doing time for them is going to be much worse 329 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,880 Speaker 1: because the other inmates are going to mess with them. 330 00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: So Grant Harden, who was a former police chief in 331 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:25,160 Speaker 1: the small town of Gateway, Arkansas, town on the Arkansas 332 00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: Missouri border, was serving lengthy sentences for murder and rape 333 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,960 Speaker 1: the crews. Then he got out. He escaped. The crews 334 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:40,400 Speaker 1: had been using bloodhounds, they had officers on horseback, they 335 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:45,160 Speaker 1: had drones, they had helicopters. I mean, the whole deal. 336 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 1: It was quite the to do, if you will. But 337 00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:54,200 Speaker 1: he has been located and as it turns out, very 338 00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 1: close to the prison from which he had escaped. Almost 339 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:01,400 Speaker 1: two weeks ago. News Name with the story the. 340 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 7: First images of him being apprehended by law enforcement. He 341 00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 7: was taken into custody by a border patrol their Tactical 342 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:13,000 Speaker 7: Union out of West Texas. And this is a group 343 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 7: but that is taught and trained to search and find 344 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,840 Speaker 7: individuals alike this. And we spoke to some people who 345 00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,600 Speaker 7: live here who say that they are somewhat frustrated though 346 00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 7: because they feel like they were telling local police and 347 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:30,880 Speaker 7: local shriff deputies that something was off in certain areas 348 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 7: of town, and they don't feel like they were listened 349 00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 7: to until a Border patrol came in. And now we 350 00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:39,640 Speaker 7: did speak are one of our local affiliates with one 351 00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 7: of the women who lives right next to where they 352 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:44,760 Speaker 7: found hardened, and this is what she had to say 353 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:45,399 Speaker 7: last night. 354 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:48,159 Speaker 1: After the Border patrol showed up. 355 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:53,159 Speaker 6: Today, all of a sudden, trucks came from everywhere in SUVs. 356 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,240 Speaker 1: There was and want to say, there's twenty or thirty 357 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: of them. 358 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:58,800 Speaker 6: I don't know for sure, but they all took off 359 00:22:58,840 --> 00:23:03,520 Speaker 6: down this way and next thing we know, they're hauland 360 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 6: Grant Harden out from back here out of the woods. 361 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 7: And Harden has a long past in law enforcement throughout 362 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,959 Speaker 7: the years, especially in northwest Arkansas. I spoke with some 363 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,159 Speaker 7: people who live in the communities where he used to 364 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 7: be a constable Minton County, and they tell me that 365 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:26,359 Speaker 7: he was the kind of person who was supposed to 366 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 7: be preventing crime, but instead he was creating crime, and 367 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 7: so a lot of frustration there. But as you guys 368 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,880 Speaker 7: can see, that capture by Border patrol yesterday is definitely 369 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:39,919 Speaker 7: a welcome sign for the people who live here. 370 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:44,760 Speaker 1: In this community. It's not easy to do a report 371 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:51,120 Speaker 1: in the field as a reporter. Anchors are reading from 372 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:54,360 Speaker 1: a teleprompter, and that's a skill in and of itself 373 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:58,919 Speaker 1: to make it seem natural, and it's a practiced skill. 374 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 1: Are doing it on the fly. But old girl there, 375 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:07,800 Speaker 1: she's uh, she's in need of some more training, shall 376 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:12,720 Speaker 1: we say? She is kind of you know, as she's 377 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:17,600 Speaker 1: doing the report. Uh, she's she's struggling. It's tough to 378 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 1: listen to, you know. The unfortunate part of the elon 379 00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 1: Trump spat is that it has distracted from the good 380 00:24:31,520 --> 00:24:37,240 Speaker 1: work that Doge has done. There's another example. A USDA 381 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:42,800 Speaker 1: US Department of Agriculture employee, along with five other well, 382 00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 1: along with five others, has been charged in a multimillion 383 00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:51,200 Speaker 1: dollar food stamp fraud and bribery scheme more than sixty 384 00:24:51,359 --> 00:24:56,360 Speaker 1: six million dollars. The Department of Justice calls it one 385 00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:01,920 Speaker 1: of the largest food stamp frauds in America history. This 386 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,480 Speaker 1: is the Agriculture secretary. I don't know how many secretaries 387 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:09,679 Speaker 1: cabinet secretaries you can name, but I'll bet you fewer 388 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 1: than ten percent of you can name who the agriculture 389 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:18,640 Speaker 1: secretary is right now. You could probably do Homeland Security. 390 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 1: You probably do, Department of Defense, you probably do Secretary 391 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:31,120 Speaker 1: of State. Many of you, fewer could probably do Treasury. 392 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,199 Speaker 1: Some of you could do labor. But I'll bet you 393 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:38,119 Speaker 1: fewer than ten percent could tell who the Secretary of 394 00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:42,680 Speaker 1: Agriculture is. Extra credit to you if you can here 395 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 1: is that individual. I won't tell your name until the end. 396 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:46,680 Speaker 1: Go ahead. 397 00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 8: It's time for real effective change. Part of that two 398 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:55,439 Speaker 8: hundred billion dollar annual program. The best sort of estimate 399 00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:59,360 Speaker 8: is between twenty to thirty percent of that is fraud, 400 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:03,640 Speaker 8: wasted abuse. This sixty six million that was announced yesterday 401 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,240 Speaker 8: on behalf of USDA and the others that were part 402 00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 8: of that, again is just the tip of the spear 403 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 8: and the way that works, Maria. 404 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,880 Speaker 1: The EBT cards is. 405 00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 8: What USDA, the government uses to provide that supplemental nutrition assistance, 406 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 8: which is the food stamps, and that it's a you know, 407 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 8: fairly easy thing to do. 408 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 1: We're trying to lock it down right now. 409 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,640 Speaker 8: To ensure that it doesn't keep happening. But when you've 410 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:28,880 Speaker 8: got employees that you know basically don't follow the law, 411 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,160 Speaker 8: then we've got to fix it, and that's what we're doing. 412 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:31,880 Speaker 1: There's going to be. 413 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:36,679 Speaker 8: Real consequences for breaking the law across America's federal government 414 00:26:36,680 --> 00:26:39,240 Speaker 8: with President Trump. But this is just one of many 415 00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 8: more to come. 416 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:45,960 Speaker 1: Brook Rollins is her name, the Agriculture Secretary brook Rollins. 417 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:53,639 Speaker 1: You know, the amount of fraud in the food stamp program, 418 00:26:53,680 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 1: for instance, It'll never be stopped. And the reason is 419 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 1: nobody actually wants it to stop the only reason we're 420 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:12,720 Speaker 1: hearing about this is that Brooks brook Rollins wants to 421 00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:18,520 Speaker 1: further her own career, and fraud stories make for good 422 00:27:18,920 --> 00:27:24,760 Speaker 1: media stories, but nobody is actually interested in stopping this nonsense. 423 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:28,520 Speaker 1: The Department of Justice will bring the case because you know, 424 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,879 Speaker 1: it's there's two reasons. It's a it's a notch on 425 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,280 Speaker 1: your belt. If you're a prosecutor, you know, hey, here 426 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,919 Speaker 1: here's when you leave the Department of Justice and you 427 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 1: go to a litigation firm. Here's the big cases I handled. 428 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 1: And there are some actual do gooders. There are some 429 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:49,920 Speaker 1: actual prosecutors who who hate crime, who hate fraud, who 430 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 1: hate this sort of deception and law breaking, and they 431 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:56,880 Speaker 1: want to nail those people to the wall. Thank God 432 00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:03,840 Speaker 1: for them. But these programs don't care because, as my 433 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 1: dad always says, it's not their money. It's not their 434 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,160 Speaker 1: money they're wasting, it's not their money they're giving away. 435 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 1: And so there's no reason to care that there's all 436 00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:20,200 Speaker 1: this fraud, and there's so much fraud in every different department. 437 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,400 Speaker 1: The kind of people that are on it, some of them, 438 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 1: not all, many of them, I suspect probably the vast 439 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,239 Speaker 1: majority will commit fraud if they think I can get 440 00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,679 Speaker 1: away with it. And the truth is, I suspect a 441 00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:37,159 Speaker 1: goodly portion of the number of people who work in 442 00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,400 Speaker 1: levels of government, the kind of people who are attracted 443 00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:47,280 Speaker 1: to jobs like that, are attracted to fraud and taking bribes. 444 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,720 Speaker 1: You're not getting the best in bribers. I do believe that. 445 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 1: And so at the end of the day, you either 446 00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,600 Speaker 1: cut the program or you just bake in, build in, 447 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:03,720 Speaker 1: assume there's going to be all this trouble. And I'm 448 00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 1: forgoting proble. He's eteleman Alms has let opportunity. Thank you, 449 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:10,960 Speaker 1: and good night.
