That's a lot. That's a lot. 20 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:15,839 Speaker 1: So sad, that seems crazy. 21 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 4: I think we failed to get away with nineteen nine agencies. 22 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 5: I am a patriot, I love our country. I am 23 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 5: a strong and intelligent woman of color, and I have 24 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 5: dedicated almost my entire adult life to protecting the safety, security, 25 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,039 Speaker 5: and the freedom of all Americans in this city. 26 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,120 Speaker 6: I'm not anti vaccine, but I think we need to 27 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,280 Speaker 6: be honest and we need to have good science. I 28 00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,640 Speaker 6: spent thirty years trying to get mercury out of the 29 00:01:52,640 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 6: fish in this country, and nobody ever called me anti fish. 30 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 1: Well, one of the most important pieces of. 31 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 2: The team was put into place today in a fifty 32 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:27,560 Speaker 2: one to forty nine votes. Cash Patel has been named 33 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:32,239 Speaker 2: our has been confirmed as President Trump's FBI director. 34 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: He's going to lead your FBI. And I'm going to. 35 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,959 Speaker 2: Tell you, folks say this all the time. My job 36 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,600 Speaker 2: is not to break the news. You probably knew that already, 37 00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 2: although many of our listeners can't look at the news 38 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 2: during the day. 39 00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: You're on a back hoe. 40 00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:53,720 Speaker 2: You're on a forcliff, you're on a crane, you're doing 41 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 2: the things you do, and you're in meetings, you're teaching, 42 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 2: doing whatever you're doing, and you can't check the news. 43 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 2: So I don't spend a lot of time announcing the 44 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 2: news or breaking news. 45 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: Not what I do. 46 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 2: I tell you what I think is important, and I've 47 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,359 Speaker 2: spent the last few days telling you that I did 48 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 2: not think it was important to report on the or 49 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,520 Speaker 2: spend a lot of time commenting on the Delta Airlines 50 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 2: flight in Toronto. 51 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,560 Speaker 1: People loved Hey, people were on board. How much are 52 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: they flying it? What do we have video of it? 53 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,000 Speaker 2: Vic with is that none of that matters. That's just 54 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 2: it's treating you. It's insulting to you. That's not going 55 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 2: to affect your life. Other than the fact that we 56 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,120 Speaker 2: can step back and say, why was that woman flying 57 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 2: that plane when she didn't have enough experience? Who made 58 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,920 Speaker 2: the decision to put her flying that plane when she 59 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 2: didn't have enough experience. It's pretty obvious that she most 60 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 2: likely did it because she's a woman, and they've really 61 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 2: pushed to have unmanned flights. 62 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:57,160 Speaker 1: But in the greater. 63 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 2: Scheme of things, if you skip the news that day 64 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 2: don't matter. This is consequential news. 65 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:03,840 Speaker 1: Friends. 66 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 2: When you put Cash Fattel, who is whip smart, as 67 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 2: the director of the FBI, two things are going to happen. 68 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 2: Number One, the FBI is going to do its job now, 69 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,280 Speaker 2: and that's not easy to do because you've got folks 70 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 2: in that organization. And I'm not saying it's the majority 71 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 2: of them. But you've got folks in there who were 72 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 2: out to destroy Trump. You got folks who were involved 73 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 2: in January sixth. You've got folks who've been able to 74 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 2: obscure that they've been working to destroy Trump and you 75 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,640 Speaker 2: all the time. And they're scared. They're scared because they 76 00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 2: don't want the light shined on them these roaches. Instead 77 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 2: of scurrying, they're gonna play it cool and hope you 78 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 2: don't notice. 79 00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:55,479 Speaker 1: They're still there. They're still there. 80 00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,719 Speaker 2: They're still feeding information to the media the way Jim 81 00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 2: Comey did when he he hid behind the drape in 82 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 2: the Oval office. Jim Comey did everything he could to 83 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 2: undercut Donald Trump, Robert Muller, who they brought in to 84 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 2: investigate for two years, hiring all the Hillary lawyers, former 85 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 2: FBI guy. 86 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 1: These people are devious. 87 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:20,720 Speaker 2: The ranks of the FBI are still populated, particularly at 88 00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 2: the top, by devious people who have to be replaced 89 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 2: and punished. And the good FBI agents will now be 90 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 2: allowed to shine, and that's great news. We had a 91 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 2: story here at Houston Memorial High School on the near 92 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 2: west Side, part of the Spring Branch Independent School District, 93 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 2: a very very good public school. Two teenagers, I think 94 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 2: fifteen and sixteen girls with a credible threat to put 95 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 2: a pipe bomb and then shoot up the school. And 96 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,520 Speaker 2: in one of those occasions you don't see that often, 97 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:01,400 Speaker 2: the school police department teaming with the FBI and the 98 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,320 Speaker 2: Sheriff's department. The school police department has a guy who 99 00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,680 Speaker 2: probably should have been at some point the head of 100 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 2: the Houston Police Department, a guy named Bainbridge, very very 101 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 2: well respected law enforcement leader. They brought the school district, 102 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 2: brought him in kind of below his talent level to 103 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 2: just be running a school district's police department. But now 104 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 2: you're getting these great stories of the school police department 105 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 2: behaving in this phenomenal manner because you've got great talent 106 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 2: leading it. So anyway, the FBI thwarted a pipe bombing 107 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 2: and mass shooting in the school. 108 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 1: When's the last time that happened. 109 00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 2: All we've seen is Pulse Nightclub and all these schools 110 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 2: and churches and. 111 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 1: Las Vegas, which we still still won't tell us what's 112 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:46,920 Speaker 1: going on there. 113 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 2: All these things that happened, and then we have to 114 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 2: find out, Oh, the FBI had been apprised that this 115 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 2: guy was a real threat and was making was making 116 00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:00,159 Speaker 2: threats and they did nothing about it. So Number one 117 00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 2: why this matters is the FBI is now going to 118 00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 2: do its job. And that's good for us as a society. 119 00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,680 Speaker 2: It's good for our children, it's good for our culture. 120 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 2: To feel safer and be safer means that we're happier. 121 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 2: It means that we can accomplish more. But it also 122 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 2: means that good agents can now thrive. That's why the 123 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 2: good agents joined the FBI in the first place, is 124 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 2: to get to save lives. 125 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 1: They want it's like a dog that brings you back 126 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:26,960 Speaker 1: the bone. 127 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 2: They want that approval as the kind of as the 128 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 2: sheep dog personality. You want to get to save lives. 129 00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 2: But the second reason this is important is Cash Betel 130 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 2: is now going to walk in and open the kimono 131 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 2: and say, here's what happened. And now all of our 132 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:50,200 Speaker 2: crazy conspiracy theorists or theories are going to be proven true. 133 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 2: All the things we knew were happening January sixth, among them, 134 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,960 Speaker 2: Maybe we'll find out what happened in Las Vegas, all 135 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,280 Speaker 2: the lies that we're told, what happened in the JFK assassination, 136 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 2: what happened in all these things that we weren't told 137 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 2: and now will. We're going to find out what the 138 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:12,000 Speaker 2: FBI was doing at the school boards, harassing parents. We're 139 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 2: gonna find out who was calling that in. We're gonna 140 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:18,920 Speaker 2: find out who was coordinating. This is very, very consequential news. 141 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 2: This is the most consequential news. But I mean, by 142 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 2: the way, Mitch mcconel's announced this. 143 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 1: If you. 144 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:30,440 Speaker 2: It's Michael Barry's shows Chtch McConnell, who's one hundred and 145 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,600 Speaker 2: fifty eight years old and has been in the Senate 146 00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 2: for one hundred and forty of them, announced today that 147 00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 2: he will be retiring. He is the longest serving senator 148 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:49,240 Speaker 2: in Kentucky history. He's in his seventh term. Mind you, 149 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 2: these are six year terms. He uh, he's been in 150 00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 2: the Senate. It's nineteen eighty five. Yeah, the Roman Senate. 151 00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:08,840 Speaker 3: This is. 152 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,880 Speaker 2: But hold on, I want to address something a lot 153 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 2: of you love to go. Yeah, term limits, Michael, term limits. 154 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 2: Hold on a damn minute. We've got term limits already 155 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:28,640 Speaker 2: built into place. It's called elections. You know what happens. 156 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,280 Speaker 2: You know whether you voted or not, not how you voted, 157 00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 2: but whether you've voted or not. You can look up 158 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 2: and see if somebody voted or not. And you can 159 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 2: look and see if they voted in a party primary. 160 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,000 Speaker 2: And if you voted in a Republican primary for three 161 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 2: times in row, you're known as a three R. And 162 00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 2: in the political business, three rs are the people who 163 00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,600 Speaker 2: vote in primaries. Most people don't vote in primaries. Most 164 00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 2: people only vote in November, even people who listen to 165 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 2: Tart radio, And a lot of these people don't ever 166 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:03,360 Speaker 2: vote in the primary because they don't bother to know 167 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:06,280 Speaker 2: who's running against John Corn or Mitch McConnell or one 168 00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 2: of these evil people. And so they wake up just 169 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 2: before the November election when the Democrats start criticizing them, 170 00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 2: and they go, oh, my guy's not very good either, 171 00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 2: but he's better than the Democrats, and so you put 172 00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 2: them back in and they get six more years of it. 173 00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 2: The time to beat a Mitch McConnell was always in 174 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,839 Speaker 2: the Republican primary because you didn't want to work against 175 00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 2: him in November. What are we going to say, he's 176 00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 2: a horrible guy, he's a horrible Republican. I'd rather a 177 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,840 Speaker 2: Democrat be there instead. That's what Karl Rove used to do. 178 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 2: That's how we ended up with Todd Aiken losing declare mccaskell, 179 00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,400 Speaker 2: and mccaskell goes on to be one of the worst senators, 180 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:50,800 Speaker 2: most powerful senators under Obama for the Democrat causes, because 181 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 2: Karl Rove undercut him, because he made a statement that 182 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,439 Speaker 2: Rove twisted out a context about rape and pregnancy and 183 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 2: whether somebody had been raped or not, because Rove didn't 184 00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,360 Speaker 2: like him, because he couldn't control him. And I've told 185 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,160 Speaker 2: you all along, Rove is part of the controlled opposition. 186 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,680 Speaker 2: These are the Washington generals. The Washington generals are not 187 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 2: mad at the Harlem globetrotters that the globetrotters win every 188 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 2: time and the generals lose every time. Because if the 189 00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:23,720 Speaker 2: Washington generals don't have the Harlem globetrotters taking them around 190 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,520 Speaker 2: the country with them, they don't have a job. Their 191 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:30,679 Speaker 2: job is to lose, but it is nevertheless a job. 192 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: And if you want to keep. 193 00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 2: Your job in your John Bayn or Paul Ryan, Adam 194 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:39,319 Speaker 2: Ken Singer, Liz Cheney, if you're part of the controlled opposition, 195 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,760 Speaker 2: you'd do it. And Rove gets paid a lot of 196 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:48,840 Speaker 2: money to control this machine. A lot of money. Oh turd, 197 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 2: Blossom's doing quite well for himself. Misrees, he's a fat 198 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,960 Speaker 2: more chins than a Chinese phone book. This guy's he's 199 00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 2: living large, destroying your country. But let's go back to 200 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 2: Mitch McConnell. This is why we need so you've seen him. 201 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,080 Speaker 1: He keeps coming unplugged, and there is the turtle. 202 00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 2: He's just sitting there. He's unplugged. You don't know if 203 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,840 Speaker 2: it looks like a wax figure. We need term limits, 204 00:12:12,960 --> 00:12:18,040 Speaker 2: we need term lemits. Well, how about we just defeat 205 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:22,120 Speaker 2: him in the election. We can't, Michael, That would be hard, 206 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 2: Isn't that the point? 207 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:25,120 Speaker 5: Is that? 208 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 2: The point that anything worth doing? Do hard things. One 209 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,160 Speaker 2: thing I've learned in the last five years is that 210 00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 2: I feel better when I forced myself to do difficult things, 211 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:44,079 Speaker 2: whether that's workout, when I don't want to intermitting fasting 212 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:45,840 Speaker 2: and eating only one meal. 213 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:51,160 Speaker 1: Don't you get hungry? Yeah, you get hungry. What's the alternative? 214 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:54,719 Speaker 1: You eat and you're fat? But how do I do it? 215 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 1: I don't know if I can do it. 216 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, so be fat? Why are you bothering me? You 217 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 2: hate that you're fat, But when you're giving a plan 218 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:07,199 Speaker 2: to not be fat, you go oh, but that'd be hard, 219 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,880 Speaker 2: So that's fine. Just say, hey, look I'm fat and 220 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:13,720 Speaker 2: I'm weak, and that's okay. 221 00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:15,520 Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with that. Does it make you a 222 00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:16,120 Speaker 1: bad person. 223 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:21,400 Speaker 2: If somebody is lean, that means they work at it, 224 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 2: They make tough decisions. If somebody rises through the ranks 225 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:29,839 Speaker 2: of an organization, they work at it. If somebody builds 226 00:13:29,880 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 2: a business from scratch, they work. I don't know if 227 00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,560 Speaker 2: I could do that. Well, what you mean to say is, 228 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 2: I'm not willing to work hard. I'm not willing to 229 00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 2: do difficult things. We have to do difficult things. We 230 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:47,880 Speaker 2: have to beat Republicans in the primary rather than complain 231 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:52,440 Speaker 2: about them in November, because in November our only option 232 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,680 Speaker 2: is send the bad Republican or send the usually worst Democrat, 233 00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 2: and then there'll be somebody will go I'd just rather 234 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:00,080 Speaker 2: have the Democrats. 235 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,440 Speaker 1: We can beat him the next time. I'm not sure 236 00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: that's not true. 237 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:08,199 Speaker 2: I'm not sure Mitch McConnell has done more to help 238 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 2: the Democrats in the last year than any Democrat has 239 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 2: voting against stuff under cutting Trump. And I honestly believe 240 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:23,960 Speaker 2: once all the digging is done, I personally believe I 241 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 2: can't prove this. Yet, I think that we're going to 242 00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:32,120 Speaker 2: find I suspect we're going to find McConnell and his 243 00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 2: fingerprints all over our problems with China, all over the 244 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 2: over one hundred million dollars missing in Ukraine, whether he 245 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 2: kept some of it himself or not, his wife's involvement 246 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,920 Speaker 2: in a lot of the China stuff, his personal involvement 247 00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 2: in the Ukraine stuff. And by the way, I feel 248 00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 2: the same about Lindsey Graham. They're still trying to pack 249 00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:56,760 Speaker 2: cash in for Ukraine. 250 00:14:57,960 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: Ukraine has lost. 251 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:03,240 Speaker 2: Might I remind you that Zelensky flew to the United 252 00:15:03,280 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 2: States to campaign on behalf of Kamala Harris. Might I 253 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,560 Speaker 2: remind you that he was pulling the strings behind the scenes, 254 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,360 Speaker 2: and he's got strings to pull. You might think of 255 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:15,760 Speaker 2: him as just some guy in a country over there. No, no, no, 256 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 2: They've got a whole cyber uh division that is attacking 257 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,760 Speaker 2: and manipulating in the United States on a daily basis. 258 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:28,760 Speaker 1: Well, how about this. 259 00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 2: Mitch McConnell announcing today that he will finally be retiring 260 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,840 Speaker 2: at the end of his term was not even the 261 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 2: biggest news story. And he was the leader of the 262 00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 2: Senate and of the Republicans in the Senate up until 263 00:15:41,400 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 2: a minute ago. That's how big to me the Cash 264 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 2: Patel FBI director announcement is. And if I had to 265 00:15:51,080 --> 00:15:52,880 Speaker 2: choose one or the other of which is the bigger 266 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 2: story for me, it's the Cash Motel story. For me. 267 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,120 Speaker 2: Cash Pattel is going to turn out to be the 268 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 2: most important of all of the President's nomination, more than 269 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:10,640 Speaker 2: Pam Bondi, more than Hegsath, more than Rubio, more than Holman. 270 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: I believe this Michael Barry show. 271 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:21,280 Speaker 2: If he doesn't say it, who will our guest at 272 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 2: a random time, because I've been trying to grab him 273 00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:26,640 Speaker 2: long enough to chat with him, is my friend Jimmy Fullen, 274 00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 2: who happens to be the sheriff of Galveston County. For 275 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,600 Speaker 2: those of you not in the greater Houston area, Galveston 276 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 2: County is the county south of Houston that encompasses some 277 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 2: bedroom communities. 278 00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:40,160 Speaker 1: It's known as very safe. 279 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 2: A lot of League City, which is in the area, 280 00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 2: several years ago, was rated number one highest population density 281 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 2: of license to carry owners. You don't want to commit 282 00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 2: You don't want to walk up on a guy and 283 00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 2: try to carjack him in League City. Texas because there's 284 00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,440 Speaker 2: a good chance he owns a gun and knows how 285 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:02,000 Speaker 2: to use it and will and so that has an 286 00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:06,120 Speaker 2: effect because the citizenry helps law enforcement keep the community safe. 287 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 2: So my friend Jimmy Fullen is the sheriff of Galveston 288 00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 2: County and I wanted to talk to him about to 289 00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,320 Speaker 2: start with the border, and then I want to ask 290 00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,960 Speaker 2: you about Berna because you and I share an affinity 291 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:22,159 Speaker 2: for the Burna launchers. Let's talk about the border because 292 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,439 Speaker 2: as the sheriff of Galveston County before that, you were 293 00:17:24,440 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 2: a constable and you made the decision to take some 294 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 2: of your folks and go down to the border with 295 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:34,520 Speaker 2: Mexico and help border patrol keep our border secure. And 296 00:17:34,560 --> 00:17:36,960 Speaker 2: you announced that you were doing that because you could 297 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 2: deal with the legals once they got to your county 298 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 2: and hurt your people, or you could help border patrol 299 00:17:41,440 --> 00:17:42,399 Speaker 2: keep them from getting in. 300 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 1: What did you learn from that experience? 301 00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 4: What I learned was if you cut the snake's head 302 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,400 Speaker 4: off where it lies, is not able to get into 303 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 4: your community. And that's exactly why we sent people to 304 00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 4: the border. Like you said, we want to stop the 305 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 4: problems from me before they even get to Galveston County 306 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 4: and what I did, what I learned down there was 307 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 4: money is the root of all evil. Are human smugglers 308 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 4: down there? That's you know, that's what they were doing. 309 00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:09,320 Speaker 4: They were taking people's money and smuggling them into the 310 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 4: United States. Thankfully, the election went very well for nationally 311 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 4: and locally. 312 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 7: We have a new. 313 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,680 Speaker 4: President and back of our president, back Donald Trump, and 314 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 4: he is in essence and no matter of thirty days, 315 00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:22,560 Speaker 4: completely shut the border down. 316 00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, let's talk about what you saw at the border, 317 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,439 Speaker 2: because you and I were talking a lot when you 318 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:32,280 Speaker 2: were working down there. You know, some of these people 319 00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 2: are coming here to be dishwashers and farm workers, but 320 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 2: some of these people are people are trafficked as pure victims, 321 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 2: including children. Some of them are doing the trafficking, and 322 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,639 Speaker 2: some of them are out and out bad guy murderers, hitmen, 323 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,120 Speaker 2: and the like. Talk a little bit about what people 324 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:49,479 Speaker 2: need to understand about who was coming across the border. 325 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,400 Speaker 4: Well, I can certainly tell you this what they as 326 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:55,160 Speaker 4: the media was trying to portray them as a bunch 327 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,400 Speaker 4: of family units coming over, and that was totally the opposite. Well, 328 00:18:58,440 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 4: we found you had a bunch of people with felony 329 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 4: warrants for child you know, for a sexual assault of 330 00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:07,080 Speaker 4: the child, child pornography.

Every time we turned around, we were engaging 333 00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 4: in these violent offenders, people that were wanting to flee 334 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,480 Speaker 4: from us in their vehicles with reckless disregard for the 335 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,720 Speaker 4: motoring public, running you know, running into other vehicles, killing 336 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,720 Speaker 4: innocent victims. So yeah, it was nothing like the media 337 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:26,359 Speaker 4: was portraying saying that there were a bunch of family 338 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:27,280 Speaker 4: units coming over. 339 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:30,440 Speaker 1: Here and there. 340 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 2: You are having to see it for yourself and not 341 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,840 Speaker 2: wanting that to land up in Galveston County, which is 342 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 2: of course why you were down there. What did you 343 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 2: hear from the from the CBP, Customs and Border Patrol. 344 00:19:41,440 --> 00:19:43,600 Speaker 2: Those poor guys have had a real tough go of it. 345 00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:45,199 Speaker 2: But what were you hearing at the time, And then 346 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 2: let's talk about what I'm hearing today now that Trump 347 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:48,640 Speaker 2: is in office. 348 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 4: What we were hearing at the time is they were 349 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,280 Speaker 4: just flat told not to do engage with these people 350 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 4: coming across the border, and they were very thankful that 351 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 4: they had people like us in Maverick County and Kenny 352 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,160 Speaker 4: and DPS that were actually coming in taking the run 353 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,239 Speaker 4: of the load off of them because they were just 354 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:09,240 Speaker 4: they were basically handcuffed by the Biden administration. 355 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:11,280 Speaker 1: And now on. 356 00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 4: The contrary, now or and now and now, we still 357 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,880 Speaker 4: have people going to the border to this day, but unfortunately, 358 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:21,159 Speaker 4: I mean they're patrolling Kinney County in parts of Maverick County, 359 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,240 Speaker 4: but we have nothing to do right now. I mean 360 00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,000 Speaker 4: we're literally still trying to attract these people that are 361 00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 4: human smuggling, but they're completely being. 362 00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:29,359 Speaker 7: Stopped at the border. 363 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:31,679 Speaker 4: I think, if I'm not mistaken, I think yesterday I 364 00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,920 Speaker 4: heard there was only two hundred encounters, where prior to that, say, 365 00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:37,680 Speaker 4: six months ago to a year ago, you were encountering 366 00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:39,679 Speaker 4: thousands a day coming across that border. 367 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, Tom Homan deserves the Nobel Prize and keeping peace 368 00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,680 Speaker 2: for this country because truly these people need to stay 369 00:20:49,720 --> 00:20:52,399 Speaker 2: in the country where they are citizens and improve those 370 00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:55,800 Speaker 2: countries instead of coming here and worsening our country. I mean, 371 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,280 Speaker 2: that's just as simple as that. And I mean that, 372 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,640 Speaker 2: do you foresee yourself, as Gallison County Sheriff. 373 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:05,160 Speaker 1: Doing more of that or do you think there's less 374 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:07,760 Speaker 1: need for it. Now. How has that changed under Trump? 375 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 4: Well, I can tell you this from from the people 376 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 4: I know in DPS and the people I know that 377 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,439 Speaker 4: are still going down to the border from Galison County. 378 00:21:16,720 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 4: It has drastically been reduced since Trump stepped in, since 379 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:23,360 Speaker 4: he took office. We will continue sending our people down 380 00:21:23,359 --> 00:21:26,439 Speaker 4: there to assist until at such time the governor stops 381 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:27,359 Speaker 4: Operation Long Star. 382 00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:34,360 Speaker 2: It's it's amazing to think that there are people who 383 00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:40,440 Speaker 2: think it's okay for terrorists, child traffickers, sex traffickers, cartel members, 384 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,800 Speaker 2: and victims of those traffickers to be breaking into our 385 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,280 Speaker 2: country illegally. When we see the numbers of how many 386 00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,399 Speaker 2: young people die of fentanyl, we see the number of 387 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,520 Speaker 2: how many sex crimes are being committed. 388 00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:54,640 Speaker 1: We see these these safe quote unquote safe houses. 389 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 2: Where they're they're you know, they break in and you've 390 00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 2: got all these girls in there who've been raped, and 391 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 2: all these girls in there who are being trafficked, and 392 00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 2: we've got people who not only don't want to do 393 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 2: anything to stop it, they seemingly encourage it. 394 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 1: And it's it's mind boggling to me. 395 00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 4: I couldn't agree more. Michael I'll get I'll give you 396 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 4: an example. Me and fell Constable Edinburgh and Melville Real. 397 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 4: We went up and met with Jonathan Kim yesterday at 398 00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,560 Speaker 4: Camp Hope. First time I've ever been there and experienced 399 00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:31,520 Speaker 4: like I've never experienced before. So my point is, you 400 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 4: have all these illegals coming into the United States. The 401 00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:38,360 Speaker 4: federal government was housing them, feeding them, getting getting them 402 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,879 Speaker 4: items they needed. We have veterans to this day that 403 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:45,120 Speaker 4: are still sleeping under bridges, homeless and having to deal 404 00:22:45,160 --> 00:22:48,399 Speaker 4: with possible suicides every single day. But yet we can't 405 00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:50,960 Speaker 4: we can't take the federal government money that we're putting 406 00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,399 Speaker 4: in through our tax dollars and taking care of them first. 407 00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,359 Speaker 4: There seems to be a problem here, but thankfully again 408 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,399 Speaker 4: Donald Trump is going to change all that. 409 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 2: I think you're absolutely right, and I believe that to 410 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 2: be true. And I did get a report on y'all 411 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,040 Speaker 2: being there. For those of you who don't know, you 412 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,160 Speaker 2: will if you listen to me long enough, if we're 413 00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,640 Speaker 2: new to your market, Camp Hope is near and dear 414 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,919 Speaker 2: to my heart, I'm their national spokesman. It's the residential 415 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:18,920 Speaker 2: facility of something called the PTSD Foundation of America. I'm 416 00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,840 Speaker 2: not a big fan of the big corporate charities. I 417 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 2: know that sounds like an oxymoron, but it's not. 418 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:29,440 Speaker 1: The big black tie gala charities. That's not my vibe. 419 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 2: And it's fine if they raise money for the diseases 420 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 2: and all that, so be it. But I was asked 421 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 2: to get involved twelve years ago with a residential facility 422 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 2: for veterans who they call in. It's free for six 423 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:44,880 Speaker 2: months because our listeners pay for it. And they've got 424 00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 2: a gun to their head and they came home from 425 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 2: war a hero, and now they're under a bridge, ready 426 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:52,600 Speaker 2: to end it all because this world doesn't make sense 427 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:55,520 Speaker 2: to them anymore. And Camp Hope for six months puts 428 00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,800 Speaker 2: them through a christ based program to learn to deal 429 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 2: with these emotions, to learn to cope, and to get 430 00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:05,240 Speaker 2: their lives back together so they can go back and 431 00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:08,280 Speaker 2: be a good father to their children, so that they 432 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,919 Speaker 2: can be a good husband to their wife, so that 433 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,560 Speaker 2: they can interact with their parents again, and so that 434 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,000 Speaker 2: they can make sense of this crazy civilian world that 435 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,760 Speaker 2: they left behind when they went to war. And they 436 00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 2: came back with all these tattoos and their friends didn't. 437 00:24:21,440 --> 00:24:23,639 Speaker 2: And now it makes more sense if you email me 438 00:24:23,760 --> 00:24:26,760 Speaker 2: at any point. I can get you a tour of 439 00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:29,119 Speaker 2: the facility. I can get you connected to it. We 440 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,240 Speaker 2: raised millions and millions of dollars for them every year 441 00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:34,080 Speaker 2: because it saves lives. We're still losing over twenty veterans 442 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 2: a day to suicide, and I appreciate you going over there. 443 00:24:37,400 --> 00:24:40,040 Speaker 2: Jimmy full And the Sheriff of Galison County is our guest. 444 00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:45,040 Speaker 1: More coming up, just in here listening to Michael Berry. 445 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,679 Speaker 2: So, I'm a big one for self defense and the 446 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 2: responsibility we have as a head of household to defend 447 00:24:52,560 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 2: our family, but the responsibility every person has to defend 448 00:24:57,080 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 2: ourselves to the extent that we possibly can. I am 449 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,840 Speaker 2: a big believer in firearms because a little old lady 450 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:07,000 Speaker 2: can pick up a pistol and blast a thug coming 451 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:09,680 Speaker 2: through the door to harm her when she couldn't take 452 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,719 Speaker 2: him out at the knees or sucker punch him. It 453 00:25:12,800 --> 00:25:16,639 Speaker 2: has an effect of evening the playing field for the infirm, 454 00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 2: and the elderly. 455 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,760 Speaker 1: And the weak. It can give a little, tiny woman. 456 00:25:22,280 --> 00:25:26,440 Speaker 2: A fair fight against a bad guy when maybe she wouldn't. 457 00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,480 Speaker 2: She doesn't have the training or ability or strength to 458 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:34,000 Speaker 2: take care of herself otherwise. That being said, a firearm 459 00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:41,119 Speaker 2: is a real powerful tool of self defense, and sometimes 460 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:45,640 Speaker 2: you don't need such a powerful tool. Sometimes you need 461 00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:50,520 Speaker 2: a form of self defense that stops the threat but 462 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 2: is not necessarily always lethal. And that's why it's called 463 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:58,280 Speaker 2: Burna and I owned them long before they became partners 464 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:02,439 Speaker 2: with us Burna. I are in a dot com forward 465 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,920 Speaker 2: slash Michael my first name m I C H A E. L. 466 00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:09,280 Speaker 2: I bought at one point eight of them to put 467 00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,919 Speaker 2: all around my house. Everywhere I have pistols, I put 468 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:15,719 Speaker 2: burner guns, and then I bought more for everybody in 469 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:18,959 Speaker 2: my life to have one so that they could defend 470 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 2: themselves in a situation where you may not you may 471 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 2: not need to kill somebody. You may just need to 472 00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,480 Speaker 2: get the threat to stop, because that's the end of 473 00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:27,760 Speaker 2: the day. 474 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 1: You don't want to kill somebody. 475 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:32,480 Speaker 2: People talk lightly about killing somebody, but I'm going to 476 00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 2: tell you I've known a lot of people who've had 477 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 2: to defend themselves by killing someone. You never forget that 478 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:38,960 Speaker 2: you don't want to have to do it. You just 479 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,520 Speaker 2: want to stop the threat. And the beauty of this 480 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,760 Speaker 2: is it's legal in all fifty states. You don't have 481 00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:47,680 Speaker 2: to have a background check any You can buy this thing, 482 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:49,359 Speaker 2: have it delivered to you. You don't have to go 483 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,320 Speaker 2: through all the government forums or databases. And some people 484 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,919 Speaker 2: can't buy a gun because they had a problem earlier 485 00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 2: in life. So I was a big fan of the 486 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:01,040 Speaker 2: Burners and all of us. I get to know the 487 00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 2: folks at the company, and they say, hey, there's this, 488 00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 2: there's this. 489 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 1: Uh, well, he was constable at the time. 490 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 2: There's a sheriff down in Galveson County, and he was 491 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:12,640 Speaker 2: bragging on you and the fact that you love these guns, 492 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,119 Speaker 2: and you talked about him, and he's training all his 493 00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 2: law enforcement officers to use them, of course in addition 494 00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,160 Speaker 2: to their firearms. And Jimmy, I haven't asked you how 495 00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:24,440 Speaker 2: you got connected with the Burner gun itself, not the company, 496 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 2: but the Burner launcher itself. 497 00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:30,800 Speaker 4: Well, I got I got familiar with it because there 498 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,199 Speaker 4: were some guys that worked for the Galveston Police Department 499 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 4: that were actually trainers, and I actually went through the 500 00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 4: training class with them, and from the time I stepped 501 00:27:40,080 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 4: in that classroom and saw what it was all. 502 00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,080 Speaker 7: About, I was hooked that, you know, proud of that. 503 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:48,719 Speaker 4: I used to carry the traditional taser, but again, and 504 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:52,280 Speaker 4: I'm not knocking taser. They've got practical applications, but there's 505 00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 4: a lot of hit and miss with those with this. 506 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 4: With this burner, I have not had one one failed 507 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:02,080 Speaker 4: attemptle with my burner. It is so effective on caple 508 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 4: and for that matter, Mike, it's effective on animals. Sometimes 509 00:28:05,800 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 4: you go to scenes and you get animals, they get 510 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 4: loose and they. 511 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:09,680 Speaker 7: Come and touch towards you. 512 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:11,920 Speaker 4: You can utilize it on an animal and it'll get 513 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:13,720 Speaker 4: them away from you without having to end up killing 514 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 4: the animal. 515 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: Which again, if you can avoid ending a life. 516 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:23,400 Speaker 2: I see these cases of somebody that's schizophrenic or bipolar 517 00:28:23,800 --> 00:28:26,639 Speaker 2: and they're having an episode and so they're beaten up. 518 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,120 Speaker 2: You know, they're thirty five years old. They're beaten up 519 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 2: their mom or their grandmother that they live with. She 520 00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,439 Speaker 2: calls the cop because he's beaten her up and his 521 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 2: eyes are zonked out and he's in the middle of 522 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,920 Speaker 2: a mental health episode and when the officers arrive, it 523 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 2: triggers him and he goes outside and it's basically death 524 00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 2: by cop, and the cops end up you know, all 525 00:28:47,720 --> 00:28:50,120 Speaker 2: these problems as a result of it, and if there 526 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:53,200 Speaker 2: was just a way to get him subdued till we 527 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 2: could get him some help. And it strikes me that 528 00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,680 Speaker 2: that's one of the perfect examples of where you'd rather 529 00:28:57,760 --> 00:28:58,680 Speaker 2: not have to kill. 530 00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 4: Somebody, absolutely, and that's exactly why you had that means 531 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,480 Speaker 4: of non lethal force on your belt when you go 532 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,680 Speaker 4: deal with you know, mentally challenge people. All right, let's 533 00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:11,200 Speaker 4: go back to our veterans, Mike's. You know, they have 534 00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 4: some issues as well if you end up having to 535 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 4: deal with them. The last thing a policeman wants to 536 00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 4: do is have to use deadly force on somebody. So 537 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 4: if we have that alternate means, which is the burner, 538 00:29:20,320 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 4: you know, by all means, utilize it. So do the 539 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 4: suspect and get them taken into custody and get them 540 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 4: the treatment they need. 541 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:26,600 Speaker 1: Well. 542 00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:29,800 Speaker 2: And one of the things I like is law enforcement 543 00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 2: using it is a little different than the individual because 544 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 2: I think individuals, oddly enough, have more of a presumption 545 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:42,960 Speaker 2: of self defense than law enforcement today. And I think 546 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 2: I credit Black Lives Matter and Antifa and the left 547 00:29:46,640 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 2: with making law enforcement out to be a bunch of 548 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:51,880 Speaker 2: you know, gun slingers that are out to shoot people. 549 00:29:51,880 --> 00:29:53,360 Speaker 1: When my brother was an officer. 550 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:55,360 Speaker 2: I know you very well know lots of officers well, 551 00:29:55,800 --> 00:29:57,920 Speaker 2: and that's not what you want to do. You want 552 00:29:57,960 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 2: to go home safe and you want everybody else to 553 00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 2: go home save and having another tool to do that. 554 00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:04,400 Speaker 1: I am. 555 00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,320 Speaker 2: I'm an evangelizer. My friends laugh because they'll ask me 556 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,400 Speaker 2: questions about it. Let's go, let's go on. Burn up 557 00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:13,600 Speaker 2: by r NA dot com forward slash Michael, right now, 558 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 2: let's get it right now, Dude, you got to lay off. 559 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:17,760 Speaker 2: I'm a big believer in this. I think it could. 560 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 2: It could not only change lives, it could save lives. 561 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:22,520 Speaker 7: It absolutely saves lives. 562 00:30:22,720 --> 00:30:25,800 Speaker 4: I mean on a daily basis, you hear reports of 563 00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 4: officers being able to use the burners to subduce somebody, 564 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:30,720 Speaker 4: which you know, if you didn't have that burner on 565 00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 4: your belt, you may not have had a choice but 566 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 4: to go straight to deadly force. So thankfully there are 567 00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,080 Speaker 4: burners out there. I'm a I'm. 568 00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,360 Speaker 7: A big believer. I always have been. Uh. 569 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,520 Speaker 4: In fact, I just for the Sheriff's office. I just 570 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 4: ordered a hundred of them the other day. 571 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:44,040 Speaker 7: Uh. 572 00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 4: We're hoping to get those in for our corrections officer 573 00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,120 Speaker 4: as well as our patrol deputies and even some of 574 00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:51,280 Speaker 4: our SLOs. So I'm a I'm a firm believer in them. 575 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 4: Give you a prime example, Mike. You know we got 576 00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 4: Marti Graul coming up. If you were to have say 577 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 4: a big ride out on the street, maybe down on 578 00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 4: the strand or something, the officers don't have to actually 579 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:01,840 Speaker 4: get into the crowd to engage them and possibly get 580 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:04,040 Speaker 4: their sales injured. You just, you know, put a couple 581 00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 4: of rounds of pepper balls or burner rounds into the 582 00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 4: crowd and you disperse that crowd. So, I mean again, 583 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 4: there's multiple uses for the burner where the officers don't 584 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,520 Speaker 4: have to engage hand on hand, and you know they 585 00:31:16,520 --> 00:31:17,720 Speaker 4: don't have to use deadly force. 586 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:19,160 Speaker 1: Amen. 587 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,680 Speaker 2: Galveston County Sheriff now no longer constable.

This is this is a mission 597 00:31:48,080 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 1: for me. 598 00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:53,000 Speaker 2: It's a ministry for me to take measures to protect yourself. 599 00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 2: You I wish, I wish we lived in Japan, where 600 00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:01,040 Speaker 2: the likelihood that you're going to be accosted attacked was 601 00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:05,640 Speaker 2: insanely low.
