69
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 5: most people, it turns out, are not.

70
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 1: Well.

71
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 5: Let me first say I think the product on the air,

72
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 5: on the field.

73
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 1: Football. We'll start with football.

74
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 5: This past year, past two years, has been better than

75
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 5: it's been in the past. Now there are people who

76
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,760
Speaker 5: say yoah, but the coaches don't like it.

77
00:04:47,839 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: Wait a minute.

78
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 5: Nick Saban, who was making ten million dollars a year

79
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 5: to be a coach, didn't like the fact that the

80
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 5: players were getting paid at most.

81
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: A million bucks.

82
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 5: He didn't like the fact that he didn't have absolute

83
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 5: utter control over them because some other school was paying

84
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:14,600
Speaker 5: them money to go there, and these guys had options.

85
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 5: How about this, how about he play for room and board. Oh,

86
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 5: he doesn't want that. The coaches want to be able

87
00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 5: to move around for higher pay and benefits, but not

88
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 5: have the players do it. Well, it's like the NFL, Michael,

89
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 5: It's like the NFL. Now, the kids they don't care

90
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 5: about where they go to school. You really think, you

91
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 5: really think Eric Dickerson cared where he was going to

92
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 5: go to school. He got his Golden trans am, he

93
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 5: got his bundle of cash. Why did he move schools

94
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 5: at the last minute? How about Kyler Murray moving schools.

95
00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: At the last minute? How about all the players moving

96
00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 1: schools before we had nil? How could they do that.

97
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 5: Michael, I'm an aggie, and I want them to go

98
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 5: to A and M because they love the university. They

99
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 5: want to go where they can make the most impact

100
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 5: and increase the likelihood that they can play professional football.

101
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 5: They'll wear your jersey or they'll wear another one. They'll

102
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 5: be an LSU Tiger as soon as they'll be a

103
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 5: Crimson Tide, as soon as they'll be an Auburn war Eagle,

104
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:38,239
Speaker 5: as soon as they'll be an Oklahoma sooner. But Michael,

105
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 5: I'm a Okhoma sooner. I want them to go there,

106
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 5: and I want them to love it. And they're supposed

107
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 5: to be a student athlete.

108
00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: Don't forget that. You want to watch a bunch of

109
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: kids run up and down the field where in your

110
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 1: school's uniform and think they give a damn about your

111
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: fraternity or or your ritual or your experience.

112
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 5: You really believe that, you're dumb enough to believe that,

113
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 5: or you like this little fantasy land that we live in.

114
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 5: Well Nil started paying, as in Il said. The fans

115
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 5: who want the best players on their team understand it's

116
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:23,640
Speaker 5: it's Jimmy's and Joe's, not x'es and o's. You got

117
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 5: the best players, you're probably gonna win, right And by

118
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 5: the way Saban had the best players, his worry was

119
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,360
Speaker 5: he would no longer have the lock on the best players.

120
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 5: People paying other people for what they want is as

121
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 5: old as time. Now you've got these young people. The

122
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 5: ktr H story was they're paying them in high school,

123
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 5: and the guests said something about it.

124
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: I heard just go, we're gonna get these kids in

125
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: these pipeline and playing ball. It ain't about playing ball, fool.

126
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 5: If I want to sell cheves, and I got a

127
00:07:56,960 --> 00:08:00,480
Speaker 5: high school kid that everybody in the neighborhood loves, and

128
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 5: I pay him ten grand to sell cheves, that's what

129
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 5: he's gonna do. And look at these guys. They're getting

00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:16,160

Speaker 8: aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and DWI.

161
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 9: This is a week long operation where we really fled

162
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 9: the zone with additional resources from all these agencies and

163
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 9: come together trying to make the biggest impact and get

164
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 9: as many of these folks off.

165
00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:32,520
Speaker 1: The streets as we possibly can.

166
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,839
Speaker 8: More than two hundred of the illegal migrants arrested had

167
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,559
Speaker 8: final orders of removal, according to ICE, including this thirty

168
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 8: six year old criminal migrant from El Salvador. ICE is

169
00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 8: speeding up that removal process now, so instead of bringing

170
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,000
Speaker 8: them to detention centers and taking up space the illegal

171
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 8: migrants with final orders of removal, they're being transferred to

172
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 8: hub locations immediately and then quickly deported to their home countries.

173
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 9: We can arrest the individual this morning, process in this afternoon,

174
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,280
Speaker 9: and him on removal flight this evening same day, saving

175
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 9: taxpayer costs and just to make it a more efficient

176
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 9: and expedited process to get these folks out.

177
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 10: Of the countries.

178
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 8: I Meanwhile, at the southern border, numbers there continue to

179
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 8: stay drastically low. According to the CBP's latest monthly report,

180
00:11:19,080 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 8: Apprehensions are down in ninety percent compared to this time

181
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 8: last year.

182
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: Imagine that it can be done. It really can.

183
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 5: Remember the liberal activist Wisconsin judge Hannah Dugan indicted now

184
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 5: for trying to prevent Ice from executing an arrest warrant

185
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 5: on a previously deported illegal alien by grabbing him and

186
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 5: his lawyer, shoving them into her chambers, closing the door

187
00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:53,960
Speaker 5: behind her, and sending them out the back door. Fox

188
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 5: six Milwaukee with the story.

189
00:11:56,200 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 11: Milwaukee County Judge Christolla Servera entered Milwaukee Federal courthousew Tuesday

190
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 11: alongside Milwaukee defense attorney Michael Hart.

191
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 1: Once inside, the two were.

192
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 11: Later seen walking down a hallway where the grand jury

193
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 11: is reportedly meeting. Servera and Hart left the courthouse about

194
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,000
Speaker 11: an hour later. Servera, who handles misdemeanor cases on the

195
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 11: sixth floor of the Milwaukee County Courthouse, works on the

196
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 11: same floor as Dugan. Servera's arrival followed that of Ellen Freed,

197
00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:23,360
Speaker 11: Dugan's court clerk, who spotted leaving the federal building at

198
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 11: around three pm Tuesday morning. State public defender Mercedes Dela

199
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 11: Rosa walked inside, flanked by several other people. Del Rosa

200
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 11: represented the man at the center of the case twenty

201
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,680
Speaker 11: nine year old Eduardo Flores Ruiz. He was in Dugan's

202
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 11: county courtroom last month on a misdemeanor battery case. Federal

203
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:42,280
Speaker 11: prosecutor say Dugan learned federal agents were outside her courtroom

204
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 11: to arrest Floras Ruiz, a Mexican national previously removed from

205
00:12:45,920 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 11: the US. Filing say Dugan left the bench and told

206
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 11: agents to go to the chief Judge's office down the hall.

207
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 11: Prosecutors say she returned to the bench and escorted Floras

208
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 11: Ruiz through a jury door and told his attorney, Dela Rosa,

209
00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 11: she and her client should leave through the back door

210
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 11: of the court room. Filing say that two re entered

211
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,280
Speaker 11: the public hallway and were spotted by two DEA agents,

212
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 11: one of which rode on an elevator with them down

213
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,240
Speaker 11: to the first floor of the courthouse for as. Ruiz

214
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 11: was later arrested after a short chase. Now, the Wisconsin

215
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 11: Supreme Court has since suspended Dugan indefinitely since she was

216
00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 11: arrested and charged by federal prosecutors late last month. Dugan

217
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 11: is due back in court on Thursday.

218
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 5: They really did have to show their hand, They really

219
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 5: did want us to be overrun with illegal aliens, including rapists, murderers, traffickers.

220
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 5: They really did want this. For years they said they didn't.

221
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 5: For years they said, no, we should just be merciful.

222
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,760
Speaker 5: You should be Christ like what would Christ do? You

223
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:57,199
Speaker 5: should be like Christ? You're not even a believer. Don't

224
00:13:57,200 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 5: try to use that against me. And a silliness is this.

225
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:07,040
Speaker 5: We're just being compassionate. They just want a better life.

226
00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 5: They're good people. They're just doing the jobs that Americans

227
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:17,559
Speaker 5: won't do. Remember all that, But we're not trying to

228
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 5: overwhelm the system with them. We're not trying to flood

229
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 5: the zone with all these people. We don't want the

230
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 5: bad guys. But they did want the bad guys. They

231
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,440
Speaker 5: wanted as many as they could. They want to destroy

232
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 5: this country. I have absolutely no compunction in saying these

233
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 5: people should.

234
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,520
Speaker 1: Not pull public office.

235
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 5: I won't hire them, I won't promote them, I won't

236
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:40,560
Speaker 5: do business with them.

237
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: They are destroying this country. Fat God, you know what,

238
00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: We're overdue for a little, I truly believe.

239
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 5: I was driving back to town from Republic Grand Ranch a

240
00:14:58,880 --> 00:15:02,280
Speaker 5: couple of years ago, so I had some time, just

241
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 5: me and my cigar and some windshield, and I'm driving

242
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:11,520
Speaker 5: along thinking about all the crazy things that were happening.

243
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:14,240
Speaker 1: This was during the Biden administration.

244
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 5: And as I thought about various crazy things that were happening,

245
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 5: and much of it by design, how many truths were

246
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 5: being called lies, how many lies were being called truth,

247
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 5: and it was bothering me. And I decided that I

248
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:37,040
Speaker 5: couldn't control other people. I could only control myself. And so,

249
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 5: just as you do with your faith, I decided that

250
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 5: what I would do is I would hold firm to

251
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 5: the truth. And so I simply began stating simple truths

252
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 5: that I knew to be the case, and that I

253
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,920
Speaker 5: didn't care who disagreed with or what they said. They're

254
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 5: in the truck by myself, and I started by saying,

255
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 5: I truly believe that. And some of the things were controversial,

256
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 5: and some of them were simple and silly, but it

257
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 5: gave me a sense of grounding to know that nobody

258
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 5: could shake my faith, nobody could alter my reality, no

259
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 5: matter how hard they tried. I got an email this morning,

260
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 5: by the way, we're going to play, and I truly

261
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 5: believe seven one three nine nine nine one thousand. Remember

262
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 5: when I go to you, you say I truly believe

263
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 5: that the shorter and sharper the better. They said, and Hi,

264
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 5: it's going to be a long story. No, no, no, no,

265
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 5: you go right to it. So I got an email

266
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 5: from a fellow that he had made a post and

267
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 5: it went like this. On January seventh of twenty twenty one,

268
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 5: he had made a posted, it said. Ashley Babbitt, a

269
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 5: fourteen year Air Force veteran, was shot and killed by

270
00:16:56,040 --> 00:17:00,040
Speaker 5: Capitol police in Washington yesterday. She was armed only with

271
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 5: her belief that the law should be distributed equally unfairly.

272
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 5: But she was in Washington, where election law is not

273
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 5: honored and justice does not apply to people like Clinton

274
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 5: and Kmy and others. The news coverage of the Trump

275
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,320
Speaker 5: supporters and the Antifa riots of the summer were strikingly different.

276
00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 5: I remember the media simply reporting the fires, looting, and

277
00:17:19,680 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 5: other damage caused by Antifa in a hulhum fashion. Trump

278
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 5: supporters protesting a tainted election were labeled a threat to

279
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 5: our nation and democracy. Last night, I did not hear

280
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 5: the media types condemn Ashley's shooting. To them, not only

281
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 5: did her vote not matter, but neither did her life.

282
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:42,360
Speaker 5: Ashley Babbitt, I wish you had lived in a country

283
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 5: where you would not be murdered by police because of

284
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 5: your conviction. I hope that you may rest in peace,

285
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,360
Speaker 5: but I'm confident the new media will be working over

286
00:17:50,520 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 5: time to uncover all your faults so they can justify

287
00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:59,880
Speaker 5: your demise. That was the post this listener put up,

288
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,919
Speaker 5: and he wrote this about that post. On January seventh,

289
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 5: twenty twenty one, I posted a piece on my Facebook

290
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 5: page regarding the murder of Ashley Babbitt, which caused quite

291
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 5: an uproar amongst some friends and followers, so much so

292
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:22,200
Speaker 5: that I removed the post because the comments got ugly

293
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 5: and turned into threats. In some cases, some of my

294
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 5: so called friends unfriended me and made it clear that

295
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 5: they did not care for my politics or me. But

296
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 5: the post was not about politics. The post was about

297
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 5: an unarmed woman that was shot and killed by a

298
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 5: Capitol police officer. I had mentioned and predicted unequal justice

299
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 5: in the post back then, and now events of today

300
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 5: proved me right. The Capitol police officer that shot and

301
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:58,200
Speaker 5: killed an unarmed woman has been exonerated of any wrongdoing, so.

302
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,879
Speaker 1: So troubles me about this is a couple of statements.

303
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,120
Speaker 5: It caused quite an uproar amongst my friends and followers,

304
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:13,520
Speaker 5: so much so that I removed the post because the

305
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:19,960
Speaker 5: comments got ugly and turned into threats. In some cases,

306
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:29,560
Speaker 5: if someone threatens you, you don't hide the fact that

307
00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 5: they've done it. That's how that persists. You leave it

308
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 5: there for the whole world to see. You don't comment,

309
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:42,200
Speaker 5: You just leave it there. You let everyone. You let

310
00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:48,480
Speaker 5: that person be exposed. If a friend unfriended you because

311
00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 5: of your position on something that happened in Washington, DC,

312
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:54,919
Speaker 5: that is not a friend.

313
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:58,199
Speaker 1: I think we use that term too lightly.

314
00:19:59,040 --> 00:20:02,439
Speaker 5: Because some body works at the same place that you

315
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 5: Werek and y'all take your lunch at exactly the same time,

316
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 5: because better to have once with that person and no

317
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:13,399
Speaker 5: one that's not necessarily a friend because they live in

318
00:20:13,400 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 5: the same neighborhood, not necessarily a friend because y'all went

319
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 5: to the same high school.

320
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 1: Not necessarily a friend.

321
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:26,960
Speaker 5: Don't confuse the two because you're you're in for some

322
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:28,199
Speaker 5: really sad news.

323
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:31,439
Speaker 1: When you do, you're in for a shock.

324
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 5: The tree of friendship has to be pruned on frequent occasion.

325
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 5: You don't need to have the most number of followers

326
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,800
Speaker 5: you don't need to know the most number of people.

327
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:50,800
Speaker 5: That is not the path to a fulfilling life. If

328
00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 5: you have one good friend who you love and who

329
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,120
Speaker 5: loves you, you're.

330
00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: Ahead of the game.

331
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 5: But most people don't have these exacting standards. They think

332
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:06,440
Speaker 5: all these people are their friend because that guy hit

333
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 5: the button to friend you. Oh, it's flattering out of

334
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 5: the whole world. He hit the button, and we went

335
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 5: to high school for the other. Well, I'll hit the

336
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:19,159
Speaker 5: button back and now we'll be friends. Why does he

337
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 5: care what your opinion of what happened in Washington, DC is? Anyway,

338
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 5: if your opinion on anything matters to an individual and

339
00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 5: it's not his child or his wife involved, and he

340
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:48,600
Speaker 5: lashes out at you, count yourself lucky. You just culled

341
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 5: from your life trash, And that's what that is. That

342
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 5: is trash. So many people come to me and say,

343
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 5: I don't know what to do. I got this friend

344
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:06,080
Speaker 5: and he just oh, he just constantly taunts me over

345
00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:10,960
Speaker 5: Trump and he just, oh, it's gotten to where it's hard.

346
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,880
Speaker 1: To be around him. Let's start here. You don't have

347
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: a friend.

348
00:22:16,600 --> 00:22:20,399
Speaker 5: You have a person who is coincidental to you to

349
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 5: space as y'all occupy or live, or ride to work

350
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 5: in or eat lunch.

351
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:26,879
Speaker 1: That is not a friend.

352
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,240
Speaker 5: I feel bad for you that you don't know what

353
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 5: a friend is, which must mean that you don't have

354
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 5: a friend. Go find a friend, a dog, for instance.

355
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 5: There are people that are awful and evil. Cut them

356
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 5: from your life. Stop feeling bad about that.

357
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: This is the Michael Mary Show.

358
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 5: It is time once again for another the rousing edition

359
00:23:02,080 --> 00:23:22,679
Speaker 5: of iys are truly.

360
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: We'll start with John, John, what do you truly believe?

361
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 10: I truly believe that enterprise product should be held accountable

362
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 10: to pay a fair price to the landowners for this

363
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 10: parkline they're running up in here to walk the county.

364
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:44,400
Speaker 1: Are you a landowner? Yes, sir? And what are they offering?

365
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:48,880
Speaker 12: Fifty eight thousand.

366
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 5: Total?

367
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, totally under what do they have the mineral rights?

368
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: Or how is this happening?

369
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:04,720
Speaker 10: What is the They just property took out close to

370
00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:05,639
Speaker 10: two hundred trees.

371
00:24:06,280 --> 00:24:08,240
Speaker 12: It's an active dirt pit. They don't want to pay

372
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 12: for the dirt. They don't want to pay for nothing.

373
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 12: They haven't paid us and they lay in line in

374
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:15,199
Speaker 12: here now and they haven't paid us nothing. You know,

375
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,679
Speaker 12: this law is mess up.

376
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: How many acres?

377
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:19,320
Speaker 13: Do you know?

378
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:25,719
Speaker 5: When thirty they they condemned thirty acres for fifty eight

379
00:24:25,760 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 5: thousand dollars.

380
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:32,679
Speaker 12: Well, they condemned the ride away, which crosses thirty acres.

381
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:39,359
Speaker 1: You live on it. Yes, you have a lawyer. Yes?

382
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:41,400
Speaker 1: And what's he doing?

383
00:24:43,200 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 12: Oh, he's battling. He's got like one hundred and forty

384
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 12: clients up there between Republic Grand Ranch and Texas Grand Ranch.

385
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,400
Speaker 12: That's that's where I'm at. I'm right in between them.

386
00:24:52,080 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 10: H And he's busy, he's bowed up. But you know

387
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 10: they dragged you know, Enterprise of dragging a feet on

388
00:24:59,280 --> 00:25:02,719
Speaker 10: fan of bill. You know it's a sixty two billion

389
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 10: dollar company and they can't play that bill.

390
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 5: Well believe, but that's how they got to be sixty

391
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 5: two billion dollars.

392
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:13,719
Speaker 1: Richard. What do you truly believe? Richard?

393
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 10: I truly believe on January sixth that the Capitol Fleet

394
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:23,159
Speaker 10: were not beaten and killed. I believe one girl was

395
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:24,199
Speaker 10: killed innocently.

396
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 5: Rat me if I'm wrong, You're absolutely right. Ashley Babbitt

397
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:34,840
Speaker 5: was shot and killed unarmed. And uh it is now

398
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 5: there is no report now that says a single officer

399
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 5: was beaten to death.

400
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 1: That is not true.

401
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:46,640
Speaker 5: There were several officers who took their own life. Why

402
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,840
Speaker 5: would you take your own life in the middle of

403
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 5: an unarmed, supposed insurrection. These are guys that have been

404
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 5: around armed people, some have been shot at before. What

405
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,720
Speaker 5: about this was so troubling to to these guys. Well,

406
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,600
Speaker 5: I'll tell you that they were forced to do something

407
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,720
Speaker 5: that they didn't believe in, and that's not protect the capitol.

408
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 5: That is criminalized people who showed up wearing red, white

409
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 5: and blue, singing patriotic songs because they were worried about

410
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:18,600
Speaker 5: the fall of our nation. These guys knew exactly what

411
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,639
Speaker 5: was going on and they couldn't live with it, so

412
00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,359
Speaker 5: they took their own lives. They are victims of what

413
00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 5: the Democrats did. The one guy I believe his name

414
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 5: is Slotnik that they tried to claim died from blunt

415
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 5: force to his head, that died later his own mother

416
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 5: said that is not true and stop saying it.

417
00:26:36,080 --> 00:26:39,200
Speaker 1: He died of a stroke. He had health problems. Let's

418
00:26:39,240 --> 00:26:42,360
Speaker 1: go to Ben Ben. What do you, sir, truly.

419
00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 13: Believe Michael, I truly believe that you and Joe Rogan

420
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 13: should sit down together and interview each other. Or just

421
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 13: talk nonsense or shoot the you know what, I think

422
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,439
Speaker 13: it would be fun to watch.

423
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: It will be fun and it will happen. Baba. What

424
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:07,160
Speaker 1: do you truly believe, Michael?

425
00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:08,439
Speaker 14: Get down Berry?

426
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:12,239
Speaker 13: I truly believe my son, who graduated A and M

427
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:16,439
Speaker 13: last Friday with honors nuclear engineering degree, is going to

428
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 13: do great things in his life.

429
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 1: Bubby, do you know you are one of only three

430
00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:24,159
Speaker 1: percent of Rednecks that can say nuclear without putting an

431
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 1: extra vowl in there? I commend you for that, jack Wagon.

432
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:32,800
Speaker 1: What do you truly believe? Michael?

433
00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:37,680
Speaker 13: I truly believe that after Trump being given a mobile McDonald's,

434
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:42,400
Speaker 13: the only big question left on their bros' minds.

435
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:45,520
Speaker 1: Is the league and swallow.

436
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 5: Okay, I mean it's and I truly believe, Ramon, you

437
00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,679
Speaker 5: can't you can't you know, change the rules on them, Jeff,

438
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 5: what do you truly believe?

439
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 13: Excuse me?

440
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:08,880
Speaker 14: I truly believe that property taxes in Harris County are absolutely,

441
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,800
Speaker 14: wanted to say, unconstitutional and excessive, and I truly believe

442
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 14: that they should be eliminated.

443
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 1: On what basis are they unconstitutional?

444
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:24,199
Speaker 14: Well, it's a it's excessive. Basically, it's an excessive fine.

445
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 14: For doing nothing. I mean, they call it a tax

446
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 14: or whatever, but my property tax could wind up one

447
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 14: hundred and forty eight dollars from last month to this month,

448
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,399
Speaker 14: and I pay four hundred dollars house payments for my

449
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:41,840
Speaker 14: house with homeowners insurance, and property taxes has cost me

450
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 14: over fifteen hundred a months.

451
00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:45,160
Speaker 1: Now, Well, I don't want to.

452
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 14: I've had I've paid on my house for fifteen years.

453
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 5: I don't want to quibble, but I believe the Texas

454
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 5: State Constitution includes a measure for an advaloreum property tax.

455
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 5: Could be wrong in that, but I believe that is

456
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 5: the case. However, your point is well taken. Let me

457
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:07,400
Speaker 5: tell you something. The Republicans are as in on this

458
00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 5: mess as the Democrats are. And that's what chaps my ass.

459
00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 5: I mean, for that matter, Paul Bettencourt owns a company

460
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 5: that protests high property taxes. You think he's got any

461
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 5: incentive to lower property taxes. Imagine that you go to

462
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:26,440
Speaker 5: the Senate a job you hold because you quit as

463
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 5: tax assessor collector. You just quit that job, and then

464
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 5: you run for the Senate. Great, he's a great SoundBite

465
00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 5: on the evening news, Okay, and then you leave the

466
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 5: tax assessor collector job to team up with some folks

467
00:29:40,360 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 5: and a property tax company, and then you go to

468
00:29:43,640 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 5: the state Senate.

469
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 1: Okay, great, you're popular. I got it.

470
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,239
Speaker 5: I look most of what Paul Betton Court does I

471
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 5: really like, don't get me wrong, But I don't know

472
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 5: why nobody points out that you have a conflict of

473
00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 5: interest that you don't want to lower property taxes because

474
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 5: you get paid off of fighting high property taxes. The

475
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:07,360
Speaker 5: higher property taxes go, the more Paul Bettencourt makes. I

476
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,520

477

479
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,200

480
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 5: know he's he's you know, one of the best centers.

481
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:23,680
Speaker 1: He might be.

482
00:30:25,120 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 5: He might be, But how can we think this is okay?

483
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 5: The Republicans could lower property taxes. They could, they could

484
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 5: force it, and they're not as simple as that. We'll

485

Speaker 5: talk about different ways to tax We talk about this,

486
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:46,000

487
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 5: have a competition with another lower the damn taxes.

488
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:50,800
Speaker 1: That's all anybody cares about
