1 00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. So 2 00:00:11,400 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 1: Michael Varry Show is on the air. I remember when 3 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,160 Speaker 1: I remember, I remember when I lost my hand. Mind, 4 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: that was something so pleasant about that day. 5 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,000 Speaker 2: So I'm not maybe you sir excuse me, and so on. 6 00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:38,479 Speaker 2: So I've got the microphone, sir, excuse me. 7 00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 1: And when you're out there without there? Yeah, I was 8 00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:45,360 Speaker 1: out a time. 9 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,440 Speaker 2: And as I said, I'm not sure because. 10 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: Because I didn't know, I just new to love it. 11 00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: Does that make me pray? 12 00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 3: Is a factory equity as a factor? This is a 13 00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 3: Pearl Harbor moment of our generation. 14 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: All right, we'll go back to crazy Lena and her 15 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 1: latest antics. She got shot down on her request for 16 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: money to go to Paris, at least for all her staffers. 17 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 1: She wanted to take a posse with her. Now she 18 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: won't be able to take a posse. She can just 19 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,840 Speaker 1: go on her own. But who pray tell we'll carry 20 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: her purse. All right, I have a question for you, Garlo, 21 00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: you're in on this too. Do you know what the 22 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:06,280 Speaker 1: word temblor means? You can say timbler, timblore, t E 23 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: M B l O R. Do you know what a 24 00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:19,640 Speaker 1: timblor is parlo. Do you have a guess A drunk kit? Oh, 25 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 1: a drum kit? Okay, good guess. No, that is incorrect. 26 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: An earthquake is an earth movement that does significant damage. 27 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 1: We all know what an earthquake is, and you can 28 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: measure the strength of an earthquake. A trimmor is a 29 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: mild earthquake that does no damage. So you know, we 30 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 1: were in La they had trimmors. We got scared, but 31 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 1: we're okay. So you've got the earthquake up here, you've 32 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:58,040 Speaker 1: got the trimmer down there in the middle is a timbler. 33 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: A timbler is stronger than a tremor, but not really 34 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:10,720 Speaker 1: yet an earthquake. So windows will shake, doors will rattle, 35 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 1: might even burst. But you're not talking about you know, 36 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: I was in California in nineteen eighty three sort of 37 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,519 Speaker 1: thing that is a timbler. And the reason it came 38 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 1: up is there is a Wall Street Journal had a 39 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: story on Japan and the Japanese economy and the earthquakes 40 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:36,000 Speaker 1: in how earthquakes have had a habit of when Japan 41 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: is starting to see an acceleration in their economy, an 42 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: earthquake occurs because they are earthquake prone and sets everything back. 43 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: It's sort of like about the time you buy a 44 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: beach house in Galveston, that's when the big storm comes through. 45 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 1: You know. It's funny because I have a lot of 46 00:03:57,080 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 1: friends with places in Galveston and we talk a lot 47 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 1: about it, and they'll tell you the values after a 48 00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: If you want to buy in Galveston, you buy it 49 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: right after a storm because people are getting their insurance payment. 50 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,119 Speaker 1: They want out here done. I'm never coming back. This 51 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: is too traumatic. But the longer you go without a storm, 52 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,799 Speaker 1: the more we have. You know, it's like you wonder 53 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: how a woman. You see a woman go through childbirth, 54 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: and you think, how in the world does she agree 55 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 1: to do that again? And there's been a lot written 56 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: and talked about on We have. Women have a natural 57 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: innate ability to forget about that pain. In fact, I've 58 00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 1: tried to pay tribute to women on this show for 59 00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 1: the fact that they don't get credit for the hell 60 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,479 Speaker 1: they go through to bring us into this world. And 61 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 1: they will push back. They don't want me saying that 62 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: people want to be a victim over everything. Women do 63 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: not want to be a victim over childhood, over childbirth, 64 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:01,560 Speaker 1: And I find that interesting. And the reason that's interesting 65 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:07,760 Speaker 1: is that is the innate ability to reproduce again, because 66 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,400 Speaker 1: if you started panicking over it, I'd have a panic attack. 67 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: Wait a second, you mean you mean it's gonna get 68 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: so bad. I'd rather you stick a needle of mileng 69 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: into my back to make it stop hurting. It's going 70 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: to be that bad. You got to be kidding me. Yeah, 71 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,680 Speaker 1: I don't think I want to do that again. But honey, 72 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: we wanted to have three kids. Yeah you go, no, no, no, 73 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,160 Speaker 1: somebody else will do that. We're not going to do it. 74 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: So for a woman to get to that stage, think about, 75 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 1: there has to be something in her that turns it off. Well, 76 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,599 Speaker 1: that's kind of what happens over a period of time 77 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: in Galveston, where people slowly but surely forget and they go, 78 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,839 Speaker 1: you know, Galison's nice. I forgot how nice it is 79 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: down here, and then you see the prices start creeping up. Now, 80 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:06,479 Speaker 1: what happened during COVID is an artificial, altogether artificial deal. 81 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: In fact, Melissa, if I have time here, yes, well no, 82 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 1: we'll do it. The next seven Lena had algo asked taxpayers, 83 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: asked county commissioners to approve twenty three thousand dollars so 84 00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 1: she could take four staff members with her to Paris 85 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:27,680 Speaker 1: for a party. They were gonna have a little party 86 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,920 Speaker 1: in Paris, a little junket. No, I'm gonna lead the 87 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 1: delegation and show the world what Harris County can do 88 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 1: in AI. Okay, Well, let's do a dry run rehearsal. 89 00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:46,559 Speaker 1: Right now, what can Harris County companies do in AI? 90 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: They're working really hard and they're good. Okay, Well, we 91 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:59,080 Speaker 1: are a European company looking to spend eighty five trillion 92 00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 1: dollars on a investing in a company that can help 93 00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:09,200 Speaker 1: us use AI to enter the market in this field. 94 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: What do y'all have? We have a lot of stuff 95 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: and we're doing good, and you know, we have a 96 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,880 Speaker 1: lot of diversity. You know, I'm I'm a Latina, I'm 97 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:25,080 Speaker 1: an immigrant, i have mental health problems, and we have 98 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 1: a lot of poor people. But we have a basic income. 99 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:31,480 Speaker 1: So that's good and okay, But but we're trying to decide, 100 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 1: Like you're here as the head of the AI Capacity 101 00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: Delegation for Harris County, could you just explain a little 102 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: bit about what y'all what the companies there are doing. 103 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: This is shameful. There are people in downtown Houston who 104 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:56,640 Speaker 1: should be ashamed of this. And in fact, I think 105 00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,640 Speaker 1: it was Commissioner Ramsey who made the point if the 106 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: Chamber of Commerce, which is what the organization effectively is, 107 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: they have another name. If they want you to go 108 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: on this trip, then they can pay for you to go. 109 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: I'll play that audio. She has a meltdown. It's sad 110 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 1: because she asked for twenty three thousand and they say no, 111 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,559 Speaker 1: and she goes, wait, I'd like to bring up another 112 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 1: motion for half that amount. Yeah, no to that, toune 113 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 1: or she sh the Michael Mary, I think that there 114 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: might because I got nothing going on down there. Probably 115 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 1: why dude. Okay, So Leva had all who wanted money 116 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:34,959 Speaker 1: to go to Paris, and she wanted to bring four 117 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:43,360 Speaker 1: staffers with her. Can you imagine the gall to security 118 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: because you know, everybody knows where she's going to be, 119 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 1: and two staffers because somebody has to hold her person, 120 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: somebody has to open the door, because if she doesn't 121 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,839 Speaker 1: have a bunch of people with her, she doesn't look important. 122 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,440 Speaker 1: Here we are broke the county's facing with a two 123 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:05,480 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy million dollar deficit, and she wants four 124 00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 1: staffers to join her. She's already being paid, they've already 125 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 1: covered her going on this stupid trip. I honestly believe 126 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 1: ninety percent of these trips, conventions and all that is 127 00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: absolute waste. Your company does it, My company does it. 128 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: But nobody does it like governmental entities because they don't 129 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,680 Speaker 1: have to show a profit. School districts. You'd be shocked 130 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:40,079 Speaker 1: to know how much school districts spend on junkets, on 131 00:09:40,240 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 1: conventions and conferences and all this. I mean, they pay 132 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: a speaker. It's always some fat black lady to get 133 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 1: up there and tell them that white kids are awful. 134 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: And that's what they do. And all the teachers come 135 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,840 Speaker 1: back and they go, oh, this is really good. We 136 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,080 Speaker 1: took our careers to another level. We're learning instant stuff 137 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,959 Speaker 1: we didn't know. You know, all the of the little 138 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,079 Speaker 1: Cadence and Aidens and Braden's and Gayden, they don't know 139 00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,280 Speaker 1: how awful their kid is. But now we can come 140 00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 1: back and tell them because we went to the conference. 141 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: Now we got hammered every night and put that on 142 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 1: the expense report. School districts, universities, municipal employees, county employees, 143 00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:24,920 Speaker 1: state employees, federal employees, commissions for this, and commissions for that. 144 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 1: Even law enforcement has them. It's all one big junket. 145 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,920 Speaker 1: But you can't sell those junkets as such, so you 146 00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:38,040 Speaker 1: have to act like there's an underlying cause. It's like 147 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:44,200 Speaker 1: the crypto rug pullers, the pumping dump guys. After so 148 00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:47,880 Speaker 1: many crypto, after so many coins and NFTs and all that, 149 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 1: they come out with some of them then start trying 150 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: to act like they have a real product. They closed 151 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 1: that fund, Yeah they went bankrupt. And they closed that fund. Yeah, 152 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 1: that also went bankrupt. But this one, this one has 153 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 1: a real product. It's like the multi level marketer guys. 154 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: They're all hype. It doesn't It might be a barbecue grill, 155 00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 1: it might be soap, it might it changes. Each of 156 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 1: the products changes. But one thing you need to know. 157 00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:17,400 Speaker 1: I saw one this weekend. I'm on the internet and 158 00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:22,640 Speaker 1: it popped up and it says this product will be 159 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 1: gone before you know it. It is military grademoning. It 160 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 1: was military grade water pressure. Oh okay, all right, so 161 00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 1: but what's going to power the water? You're gonna have 162 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,720 Speaker 1: to have some sort of generator or something to push 163 00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,720 Speaker 1: the water down the line. The laws of physics don't change. 164 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, no, you don't need any of that. 165 00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:51,120 Speaker 1: You just have this one little adapter that goes at 166 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 1: the end of your hose. And that adapter when you 167 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: put it on there, it is military grade. It is 168 00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 1: used by militaries around the world to clean their tanks, 169 00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:07,960 Speaker 1: their aircraft, their fighter aircraft. Yes, but here's what you 170 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 1: need to know. This will not be sold in home 171 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: depot or lows. It won't even be sold on Amazon. 172 00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: It will only be sold direct on this website because, okay, 173 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 1: this is gonna be good. You don't want it in 174 00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 1: every big box store on every corner, okay, because they 175 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: wanted to keep the price as low as possible. Oh 176 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 1: you didn't want those evil big box stores to take 177 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 1: some of them to add to the price. Because that's 178 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:47,360 Speaker 1: how it works, okay, all right. Yeah, So you go 179 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: to your website and you buy it, and the number 180 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 1: ends in ninety nine to keep it below the next number. 181 00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:56,319 Speaker 1: So that tells me it's got to be a good deal. Okay, 182 00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:59,640 Speaker 1: all right, that's good, that's solid. All right, But let's 183 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 1: go back to the technology. Y'all are a little short 184 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: on how the technology works. Well, you put this adapter 185 00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 1: on the end of the hose and whoa man. Okay, 186 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,920 Speaker 1: I'm not the smartest guy in the world, but I 187 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:20,040 Speaker 1: do understand that basic laws of physics suggest that if 188 00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: you are not increasing the pressure on the back end, 189 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 1: there is no amount of holding your finger on the 190 00:13:28,480 --> 00:13:30,959 Speaker 1: end of the hose, which we did as a kid. 191 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:35,600 Speaker 1: There is no amount of that. Now if there's if 192 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 1: there's some genius engineer out there that can tell me 193 00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:41,680 Speaker 1: there is, But I can't imagine you could restrict the 194 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: flow sufficiently in a hose adapter that's about eight inches long, 195 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 1: that you could restrict the flow by putting that on there, 196 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:57,520 Speaker 1: and that would somehow give you military grade pressure coming 197 00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:01,040 Speaker 1: out of there. Oh boy, this is going to be something. 198 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: And I guarantee you that whoever is involved in this 199 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: effort has five other things on the market right now, 200 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,600 Speaker 1: and every one of them is pitched as the greatest, 201 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: most wonderful. So you get these guys that'll come in 202 00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: and buy out a product like that, or they'll buy it, 203 00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: they'll distribute a bunch of them, and they go, are 204 00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: we in Home Depot, Lows or Amazon? Not yet, We're 205 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 1: working Okay, that's right. Before that, what we'll just say 206 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 1: is we don't want to be in those places. You 207 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: won't find us in those places. Don't just go down 208 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:35,880 Speaker 1: to the store and find us there. We are not 209 00:14:36,120 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 1: in Ace Hardware. We are not in your local store. 210 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 1: You have to get them here because we don't want 211 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,800 Speaker 1: those people to have them. This thing is so amazing, 212 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: this thing could change the world. We don't want those 213 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 1: companies to have it and sell it on their shelves. 214 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,640 Speaker 1: Why would we do that. No, no, no, we're keeping 215 00:14:55,640 --> 00:15:00,320 Speaker 1: this for ourselves and you and that guy's We've got 216 00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,520 Speaker 1: ten other products. And that's how this whole deal works. 217 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:08,080 Speaker 1: That's this whole system of scam. And I've come to 218 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,320 Speaker 1: the conclusion that you have to step back and look 219 00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: at a macro, Bill Bennett's book sliding toward Gomorrah or 220 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:19,600 Speaker 1: any other number of cultural trends, and that is the 221 00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 1: lack of personal accountability, the willingness to stand up when 222 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 1: you know what's wrong. There's people at Harris County listening 223 00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 1: right now that know about frauds that would blow our mind. 224 00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,400 Speaker 1: The greatest wellments in your life. It's with the Michael 225 00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 1: Berry's formal aware we have all your formal ware needs, 226 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:38,760 Speaker 1: from morning suits to coordinating accessories. 227 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 4: When I want to play that audio because I've been 228 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:42,800 Speaker 4: willing to play it for a long but I have 229 00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:47,920 Speaker 4: a question. I think so my nephew Kyle, who is 230 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:53,360 Speaker 4: a who has performed on stage at our various events. 231 00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 1: He's the one married to my niece Shelby. He sent 232 00:15:57,480 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 1: me a song to listen to, and he's a very 233 00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: good guitarist, vocalist, pianist, the whole thing. And oddly enough, 234 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 1: because he'll perform country songs, he'll learn country songs that 235 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 1: I like so that we can play it for singer longs. 236 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: But his favorite band is Auzi, or is Black Sabbath, 237 00:16:17,520 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: and he's a Harley Ryder and he's got Black Sabbath 238 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,800 Speaker 1: stuff all in his garage. And he sends me this 239 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:29,479 Speaker 1: video of a guy named Charles Bradley performing Black Sabbath's 240 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:35,560 Speaker 1: song Changes, and it's this black guy who looks like 241 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: he's sang Wider Shade of Pale, but it wasn't his song. 242 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:49,680 Speaker 1: He has a diastole, he's a gap and his Harry 243 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 1: and fro. He was a porter at the hotel and 244 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: muscle showals. You know who I'm talking about Percy Sledge. 245 00:16:55,120 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 1: He's got looks like a leaner. Percy Sledge got some 246 00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: grit toing, he sweat, and he's talking about this song 247 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 1: about losing your woman, that he heard this song right 248 00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 1: after his mother died. I'll sent you this, and how 249 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,840 Speaker 1: meaningful it was to him. So here was and he said, 250 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,000 Speaker 1: I knew I could sing the song after one time. 251 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,679 Speaker 1: I knew a song made sense to me. So he 252 00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,840 Speaker 1: sings it. I'd never heard the song. I never heard 253 00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,800 Speaker 1: that version, but I don't think i'd ever heard the 254 00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: song itself. So when I learned and it was a 255 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:29,399 Speaker 1: black Sabbath song, I had to go back and listen 256 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:34,160 Speaker 1: to Ozzie in studio. I'm not the biggest Ozzie fan, 257 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:37,399 Speaker 1: but knowing Ozzie and who he is, it's kind of 258 00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 1: like Beth for Kiss when they break and sing that 259 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 1: one ballad's in a ballad. I mean, well, I guess 260 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,199 Speaker 1: this is a it's a deep song. But anyway, we 261 00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:49,840 Speaker 1: should come back with the studio cut all right back 262 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: to it. Lena had Allgough is very upset. She wants 263 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 1: your money to take a bunch of people with her 264 00:17:55,359 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 1: to Paris. This clip number to blind nightem twenty six. 265 00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 5: Trade missions have been important in our region for some time. 266 00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:07,920 Speaker 5: We are focused on. 267 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: Why are trade missions important to our region? 268 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 2: Region? 269 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:13,280 Speaker 1: You know, you keep going, why are they important to 270 00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:13,720 Speaker 1: our region? 271 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 2: Best practices in terms of major events? 272 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 1: Oh okay, and so you're gonna bring that. You're going 273 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,119 Speaker 1: to bring something back from there and tell Rodney and 274 00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:21,720 Speaker 1: he'll do it. 275 00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 2: Other was because they'd have to take vacation time. 276 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:29,440 Speaker 5: In the past, these kinds of requests have been approved 277 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 5: without issue. 278 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,920 Speaker 2: So that's my motion. I've taken out my pay. 279 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:38,359 Speaker 5: If you don't approve this, I can't even bring security detail, 280 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 5: even though the leaks about where I'm going already got 281 00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:42,520 Speaker 5: people to say they want they're gonna come. 282 00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:46,520 Speaker 1: Okay, hold on, she almost got over her skizer. The 283 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,399 Speaker 1: leagues about where I'm going to be already have people 284 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:57,720 Speaker 1: saying they're gonna She wants everyone to believe that she's 285 00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:00,320 Speaker 1: the president of the United States and their death threats 286 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:04,879 Speaker 1: against her. Lady, Nobody knows who you are, nor do 287 00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:08,560 Speaker 1: they care if you weren't the little ten Pan martinette 288 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:11,600 Speaker 1: princess that you are all they wasting our money crying 289 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,239 Speaker 1: about it, going off the mental health facilities because you've 290 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,119 Speaker 1: broken down again because you were hand picked for this 291 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,879 Speaker 1: position by Rodney. And if they hadn't stolen the election 292 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 1: last time, when remember they brought in the fake They 293 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,400 Speaker 1: brought in Chas Bono to be the head of the elections, 294 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,919 Speaker 1: and then even Chaz got run out of town, and 295 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: then they bring in Tatum, and Tatum's whole job was 296 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,320 Speaker 1: to come in and cheat the election, so they didn't 297 00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:34,639 Speaker 1: send ballots out to the West side.

It's Joe Biden all over again. Except 300 00:19:41,320 --> 00:19:43,679 Speaker 1: the difference is this one's crazy and dumb. She's not 301 00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:47,720 Speaker 1: yet demented. But it's the same thing. Everybody at the county. 302 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 1: I get stories every day. Everybody at the county knows 303 00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 1: she doesn't know what she's doing. She has no idea. 304 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: Rodney's running everything. The difference is the Rodneys of the 305 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:01,919 Speaker 1: Biden administration weren't as front and center, the Anita Duns 306 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:05,160 Speaker 1: and Ron Klains and those folks. They weren't as front 307 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: and center as as Rodney has to be to kind 308 00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:10,200 Speaker 1: of be the face. Because Rodney recognizes that it looks bad. 309 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,439 Speaker 2: All right, continue, I just want to make sure the 310 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:14,120 Speaker 2: public news will. 311 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 1: Say this is the last item, right. 312 00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 5: Yeah, oh excepts excepts okay.

They foster 336 00:21:54,880 --> 00:22:00,080 Speaker 1: best practices, climate change awareness, improvements in your flaw so 337 00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:03,360 Speaker 1: they grow more of your hair, make you feel younger, 338 00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: increase your testosterone, and basically make you more sensitive to 339 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:12,080 Speaker 1: the world and natural forces around you. In furtherance, there 340 00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 1: too is a resolution to send somebody for twenty three 341 00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,960 Speaker 1: thousand and eight hundred dollars to Paris. All those in favor, 342 00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:24,159 Speaker 1: Rodney says yes. She doesn't vote. At that point. Rodney 343 00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:27,040 Speaker 1: says yes, and that's when you know it's over all 344 00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:30,639 Speaker 1: those of posts. Nope, so there's three of those, and 345 00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: then Rodney wants to make sure her vote is counted, 346 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:37,359 Speaker 1: so he says three two, and then she she's in 347 00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 1: puddles at this point. She needs a thirsty meeting. At 348 00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:45,199 Speaker 1: this point, she's not she is not capable of this 349 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:47,800 Speaker 1: moment if they're not going to send me to And 350 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 1: then immediately she says okay, on too resolutions, because that 351 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:53,600 Speaker 1: was the last item, and then we're onto resolution. She goes, no, wait, 352 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,440 Speaker 1: I take that back all right. If y'all won't give 353 00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:56,800 Speaker 1: me half of it, will you give me all of it? 354 00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,879 Speaker 1: Will you give me half? It's like a child negotiating 355 00:22:58,880 --> 00:22:59,400 Speaker 1: with their parent. 356 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 2: Okay. 357 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 5: So the rest solution is, you know what, let me 358 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 5: make another motion here because I'm really concerned about my 359 00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:13,200 Speaker 5: security detail. So I would like to make a motion 360 00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:17,920 Speaker 5: to approve international travel to Paris, France for two staff members. 361 00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:22,399 Speaker 5: Had I needed four to include staff and detail from 362 00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,879 Speaker 5: the count judge from the County Judge's office for eleven 363 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,919 Speaker 5: six hundred and fifty dollars from June eight through fifteenth, 364 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:34,960 Speaker 5: twenty twenty five. My cavea is that this court approved 365 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 5: last year in May, international travel for the hetero director 366 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,680 Speaker 5: at a cost of thirteen thousand dollars for one employee. 367 00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:47,199 Speaker 1: This director spending all this money, why can't I You 368 00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 1: are listening to the Michael Berry Show. A friend sent 369 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 1: a message and I'm going to put it out for 370 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:59,840 Speaker 1: your consideration. He said, I have a solution to send 371 00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:02,479 Speaker 1: it to Paris with as many staffers as she wants 372 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 1: We're gonna put a tip jar at the pawn shops. 373 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 1: Each time a criminal comes in to sell the wheels 374 00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:14,919 Speaker 1: they stole from the cars at Bush Airport, they must 375 00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:18,880 Speaker 1: drop a dollar in the tip jar. She gets all 376 00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 1: the money. She'll have the money in no time. We'll 377 00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:25,239 Speaker 1: call the program rims for DIMS. I like it. I 378 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:28,280 Speaker 1: like it. Yeah. See that's the kind of forward thinking 379 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:34,919 Speaker 1: you gotta find new revenue streams. So the audio we 380 00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:37,600 Speaker 1: played earlier, did you see the second match that Chad 381 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: sent of the better version of the audio? He cleaned 382 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 1: it up because there's a lot of ambient noise in 383 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: the background. So this is Lena Hidalgo very upset. How 384 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 1: dare y'all try to have votes without me here? I'm 385 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:55,640 Speaker 1: the queen. Here, y'all keep forgetting I'm the queen. This 386 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,800 Speaker 1: is her getting very upset because they're trying to take 387 00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,680 Speaker 1: votes while she's at group therapy. And then she says 388 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 1: that Adrian Garcia is just picking on her for having 389 00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,320 Speaker 1: mental health. That's the only reason he won't change the thing. 390 00:25:08,840 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: He won't change the meeting. And he says, well, I've 391 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,760 Speaker 1: had to send a proxy to a commission I serve 392 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 1: on and she says, I can't send a proxy for 393 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 1: my health, my mental health. 394 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 6: I walk into these meetings with my day planned and 395 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:28,320 Speaker 6: so today I've already got I already got commitments. If 396 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 6: if we kill an hour without anything productive, it really 397 00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 6: sets my schedule up. So I will also like some 398 00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,960 Speaker 6: consideration for my schedule, not knowing that we're going to 399 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:47,840 Speaker 6: take an hour out during court meetings, and so I 400 00:25:47,880 --> 00:25:50,880 Speaker 6: would just say, if we can, we're going to change 401 00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,600 Speaker 6: the rule next court and we can just if we 402 00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:56,280 Speaker 6: happen to go into the three o'clock hour when you're gone, 403 00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:58,879 Speaker 6: I would just ask if we could just take votes 404 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 6: and then we're going to it's gonna be one court. 405 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 1: We'll be able to move forward the court. 406 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,439 Speaker 5: After yeah, and you can do the commissioner. I'll make 407 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 5: sure not tixend that courtesy in the future. But really 408 00:26:08,680 --> 00:26:11,360 Speaker 5: the concern is, you know court used to be on Tuesday. 409 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 5: The court decided to move our meetings to Thursdays. And 410 00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:18,120 Speaker 5: so this is not a committee a commitment that came 411 00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:22,160 Speaker 5: up for me out of nowhere. I did my mental 412 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 5: health leave in twenty twenty three. I was impatient for 413 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:28,479 Speaker 5: anxiety and depression for eight weeks. Have been very public 414 00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:31,720 Speaker 5: about that, and since I returned, I've been doing oh. 415 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,959 Speaker 1: Right, hold on hold therapy. She hasn't been public about it. 416 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,760 Speaker 1: We don't know. It was eight weeks, a month into 417 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:44,280 Speaker 1: her not having been seen one time, including at commission meetings. 418 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:50,919 Speaker 1: Questions started getting asked, rumors started speculating, and Rodney had 419 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:52,879 Speaker 1: to do what he hoped he wouldn't. He had to 420 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 1: address it publicly, which is where he stepped forward and said, 421 00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:00,920 Speaker 1: she's in the nutthouse, but don't worry in charge. Well, 422 00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:03,680 Speaker 1: we know that you've always been in charge, but shouldn't 423 00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:05,960 Speaker 1: you have had to tell us? Shouldn't somebody have had 424 00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 1: to tell us? By the way, he has no basis 425 00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:11,760 Speaker 1: for being in charge. He has no official capacity. The 426 00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 1: way the county is structured, it's a unique system. There 427 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 1: are four precincts that make up Harris County. There are 428 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 1: four precincts plus the Harris County Judge who's not actually 429 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,800 Speaker 1: a judge in a legal sense, which is the mayor. 430 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:33,000 Speaker 1: Unlike a city council, those commissioners run their precinct. They 431 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:36,440 Speaker 1: can build a park, they can they can do all 432 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 1: sorts of They have crews, they have work crews, They 433 00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:41,919 Speaker 1: have construction crews, they have all that. The Harris County 434 00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:46,800 Speaker 1: Judge is the county wide titular head, so that's the 435 00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 1: person who represents the county in an official capacity, but 436 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,560 Speaker 1: she doesn't run the end of the Commissioners have a 437 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:56,479 Speaker 1: lot more power than a regular city councilman would have. 438 00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:00,240 Speaker 1: So when she says, I've been very open about out 439 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,959 Speaker 1: my mental health issues, that's a lie. They were hidden 440 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:06,199 Speaker 1: until it was revealed, and then they ran out there 441 00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:08,320 Speaker 1: and said, oh, this is good. And then what did 442 00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:14,280 Speaker 1: they do. They hired strategy message strategists and they had 443 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:19,560 Speaker 1: her do interviews not with local TV stations but with 444 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,040 Speaker 1: the national guys. It would be super nice, and it 445 00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 1: was agreed that they would all play real nice with her, 446 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:29,200 Speaker 1: and they'd say, this is very brave of you. You've 447 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:34,760 Speaker 1: shown such courage and dignity to do this. We do 448 00:28:34,920 --> 00:28:37,480 Speaker 1: so hope no one will question or criticize. And you're 449 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 1: not supposed to question or criticize sort like Kamala Harris. 450 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 1: If you didn't think she should be president, you were 451 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:45,680 Speaker 1: a racist, right. That's how this game is played. It's 452 00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,320 Speaker 1: the shame game, and they're very very good at it. 453 00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,640 Speaker 1: And the only way you make it stop is you 454 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:56,120 Speaker 1: shame them back. You shame them for their shame game. 455 00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,800 Speaker 1: And you have to understand, which I do. There will 456 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 1: always be people, oh my god, he's mean. He's my 457 00:29:03,240 --> 00:29:06,200 Speaker 1: sister had mental health problems. We didn't try to make 458 00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,760 Speaker 1: your sister the county judge, did we. We didn't make 459 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 1: your sister the quarterback of the team or the head coach. 460 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:16,280 Speaker 1: We didn't make your sister the president. Right, your sister 461 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:20,240 Speaker 1: had some problems. Okay, fine, she got help. That's good. 462 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 1: Family psychiatry the Woodlands. We went looking for somebody because 463 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:27,280 Speaker 1: I had so many friends who told me that they 464 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:30,280 Speaker 1: had a spouse or a child, some cases a parent 465 00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 1: who had mental health issues, and they didn't want them 466 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 1: going into the public system. They wanted real people who 467 00:29:36,280 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 1: could provide solutions. And I took that very seriously, and 468 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:41,760 Speaker 1: we went and found somebody. I don't make fun of 469 00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,400 Speaker 1: mental health issues, but we've got to stop saying that 470 00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 1: you can use that as a defense for incompetence or 471 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 1: put that above the county. We're talking about a county 472 00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 1: bigger than three states. Anyway, back to it. 473 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,760 Speaker 5: For anxiety and depression. For eight weeks have been very 474 00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:00,920 Speaker 5: public about that. And since I returned, and I've been 475 00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 5: doing my group therapy on Thursdays from three to four thirty. 476 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 5: So when the court said they wanted to move our 477 00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:13,160 Speaker 5: meetings to Thursday, I said, I have the standing committee committee. Well, 478 00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 5: I guess it could be a committed it's a group, 479 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:18,520 Speaker 5: the standing commitment that is part of my mental health treatment. 480 00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:23,240 Speaker 5: So I would just like to underscore that that's you, 481 00:30:23,240 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 5: you know, joining the ranks of those who are trying 482 00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,040 Speaker 5: to pick on me over mental health treatment. 483 00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,800 Speaker 1: Well, please please, we're not going to go there. 484 00:30:30,320 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 6: Look, I get put on the Planning Commission that is 485 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:38,440 Speaker 6: on Thursdays. We move the court to Thursdays, I can't 486 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:42,080 Speaker 6: make all the Planning Commission meetings. So I have my 487 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,880 Speaker 6: proxy there and we're able to continue the business. 488 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 5: They can't send a proxy to my mental health treatment. Yes, commissioner, 489 00:30:48,040 --> 00:30:48,680 Speaker 5: let's just move on. 490 00:30:48,760 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 1: Okay. 491 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 5: If you want to have the vote without me, have the 492 00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 5: vote without me. I'll remind the community that you are 493 00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 5: interfering with something that I mentioned before. 494 00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,600 Speaker 2: And I mean people can see that. 495 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,640 Speaker 5: People can your behavior, and I frankly think it's embarrassing, 496 00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:07,440 Speaker 5: but that's okay. 497 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:11,480 Speaker 1: She's embarrassed for him that he's questioning her mental health. 498 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 1: People can see it. There's this vast group of faceless 499 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,040 Speaker 1: people out there who love Lena. Remember how she's told 500 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:24,160 Speaker 1: us how they love her. It came out recently that 501 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 1: her wedding was paid for by a bunch of engineering 502 00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 1: firms that do business with the city. It's all on her. 503 00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,800 Speaker 1: For some reason, Houston Chronicle didn't cover it, but Texas 504 00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 1: Scorecard did they because you have to report all this 505 00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:41,720 Speaker 1: money that you received. So she took in I don't know, 506 00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 1: seventy five thousand dollars over fifty thousand dollars for her 507 00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:49,760 Speaker 1: wedding reception and it was all engineering firms. Wh I 508 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 1: guess engineering firms just really want her to have a 509 00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:53,120 Speaker 1: nice wedding.
