But 9 00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,280 Speaker 3: all four counties have been impacted, and I don't feel 10 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:59,200 Speaker 3: comfortable with giving special treatment. Everybody was notified that you, 11 00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 3: as a mayor and as a county judge are speaking. 12 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 4: I'm happy for them to join. 13 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 3: But at least if you want to her to speak, 14 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 3: let me do the duty to the Spanish. 15 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 2: Transitions and I'm glad I made the approval. Is oh, 16 00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 2: this is a disaster. 17 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 4: This is not the time, okay, So and it's fine your. 18 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 3: You have to think about the timing. It's no coincidence. 19 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 3: This is happening in the middle of my re election campaign. 20 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 3: That in and of itself should make very clear that 21 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 3: it's politically motivated, that it's meant to destruct, to destroy, 22 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:55,840 Speaker 3: to harm my campaign, to harm, to distract me. That 23 00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 3: is I think enough evidence and is very clear as 24 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:00,000 Speaker 3: to what the motive is. 25 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 5: Some of us are wrapped around the little finger of 26 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 5: a woman who I don't know what the she's threatened with. 27 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,919 Speaker 5: She had almost ten million dollars in the bank, and 28 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 5: she had a US senator, and she had a furniture salesman. 29 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 5: You can't win them all, can't win. 30 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:34,880 Speaker 6: All the book. 31 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 7: Well, Lena has outdone herself this times. She has absolutely 32 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 7: outdone herself. I often retire nicknames once they are written 33 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 7: about in mainstream media because I feel like I've accomplished 34 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 7: my goal at that point. So since Texas Monthly last 35 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,799 Speaker 7: week in a profile of Lena. 36 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,079 Speaker 2: At all Goo referred to the fact that. 37 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,359 Speaker 7: I commonly call her La cumandante and fact like our 38 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 7: work is done there, so we'll go back to that. 39 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 7: But my newest based on her, based on her activities 40 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 7: last night, my newest is Sheila Jackson Lena, because she'sa 41 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 7: Jackson Lee in reincarnated. This is Sheila Jackson Lee to 42 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:45,440 Speaker 7: a te bitchy bullying and then a victim. All this 43 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 7: story will tell you everything, but before we do that, 44 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,800 Speaker 7: let me give you a little history here. There was 45 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 7: a fellow named Roy Hawfines. He would serve as the 46 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 7: mayor of City of Houston also serve as a state representative. 47 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 7: He would served as the mayor of the City of Houston. 48 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 7: He would also serve as a counta. He is one 49 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:10,400 Speaker 7: of the founders, one of the major influences for the 50 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 7: Houston that existed from the sixties to the two thousands. 51 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 7: He was known as the Judge because he was the 52 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:25,159 Speaker 7: county judge. For some of that time, he would be 53 00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 7: called Judge haw Fines, but most people just respectfully called 54 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:32,239 Speaker 7: him the Judge. Until his dying days, he was spoken 55 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 7: about with such a sense of awe you would not 56 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 7: believe it. 57 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 2: I didn't know the man. He died before I got 58 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 2: to Houston. 59 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 7: He was the brains and the driving force behind the Astrodom, 60 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 7: the first indoor stadium of its type in the world, 61 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 7: the seventh Wonder of the world. He had vision, he 62 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 7: had hutzpah. He was some combination of Donald Trump, Tillman, Fertita, 63 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 7: Jim Mackingveil. This guy was was something else by all accounts, 64 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 7: and I've had many many conversations with folks who were 65 00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 7: around him, including Jordie Talet, who was his kind of 66 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 7: boy Friday for many years and kind of grew into 67 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 7: a position as his full aid advisor. 68 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 2: Drove him for a number of years. 69 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 7: Judge Roy Hawfines was the force behind the Houston Astronome 70 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,040 Speaker 7: and so much of what was going on in the 71 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 7: city and the county at the time, the Houston Livestock 72 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 7: Show in Rodeo, and mind you, I'm going to talk 73 00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 7: about things that I'm not an expert on, but I 74 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 7: probably know as much as anybody who's not a Rodeo 75 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:52,120 Speaker 7: director or lifetime member, at least for the purposes of 76 00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 7: getting through the basics of why what happened last night 77 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 7: was so much worse than it might even appear, and 78 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 7: it appears pretty bad. The Houston Livestock Show in Rodeo 79 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 7: is the biggest event in Houston and has been for 80 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:14,719 Speaker 7: my lifetime. It is internationally known. It is understood to 81 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 7: be the event that brings our community together, and by 82 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 7: our community, I mean more than the city of Houston 83 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:24,120 Speaker 7: and more than Harrison County. It brings people from outlying 84 00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 7: counties to create this sort of regional community. It really is, 85 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 7: and I don't want to wax too eloquent here. It 86 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 7: really is a beautiful thing. If you have ever sat 87 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:40,159 Speaker 7: and watched the trail rides coming in. You've got the 88 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,440 Speaker 7: Latino trail rides, You've got the Black Trail rides, You've 89 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 7: got the old Louisiana trail rides, and the Mississippi folks 90 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 7: and the Oklahoma folks, and these guys have been riding 91 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 7: for a week to come in and it culminates at 92 00:06:56,600 --> 00:07:00,359 Speaker 7: the staging ground for a parade that's so much in 93 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 7: the city year after year have taken their children. Some 94 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,440 Speaker 7: of you may have gone and watched this parade as 95 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 7: a child. The event itself is the largest concert event 96 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 7: I suspect in the country. And it does have HLSR, 97 00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 7: the rodeo i'll call it does have a professional staff, 98 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,239 Speaker 7: to be sure, but the vast majority of the work, 99 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 7: the heavy lifting, is done by volunteers. Now, those volunteers 100 00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 7: might be Mattress Mac or tell them for Tita or 101 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 7: you or me. It creates an environment with the committees 102 00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,160 Speaker 7: and the volunteer structure where you've got a guy who's 103 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 7: a pipe fitter working on readers and greets or the poultry. 104 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 7: They got all these different committees. You've got our transportation. 105 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 7: You've got a guy working on a committee next to 106 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 7: a guy that makes fifty times what he does. But 107 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 7: they are both equally members. They're both putting in their 108 00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 7: same time, they're both working toward their same badge, They're 109 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 7: both working towards the same goals. It's the only thing 110 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 7: like it. It's the only thing I've ever seen like it. 111 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 7: It's a social organization, it's a fundraiser for scholarships. 112 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 2: It is a community event the likes of which we've 113 00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:15,080 Speaker 2: never seen. 114 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 7: So how does it happen that Sheila Jackson Lena craps 115 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,800 Speaker 7: all over it and then claims to be a victim. 116 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 2: This is a story for the ages. You're gonna want 117 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:27,120 Speaker 2: to hang around for this the Michael Barry Show. 118 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 3: And eventually all of the facts will be public. 119 00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 7: This, oh, the irony time is such a cruel master. 120 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,760 Speaker 7: In twenty twenty, Lena had all Go canceled to Rodeo. 121 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 7: Remember how fired up she was over her color schemes 122 00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 7: and her red alert. She rolled out her color scheme. 123 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 7: She wanted everybody shut down. My friend Matt Brice, who 124 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 7: had known for ten years, he had one restaurant called 125 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:07,959 Speaker 7: Federal American Grill over on Shepherd and he had worked 126 00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:12,520 Speaker 7: and worked and worked, and he it wasn't gonna make it. 127 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 7: It wasn't wasn't getting where he needed to be. In fact, 128 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 7: he'd been a show sponsor of mine ten years before that. 129 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 7: We tried it for a year, but we just couldn't 130 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 7: with the single location and where he was, we just 131 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 7: couldn't get the results, and we agreed it wasn't worth it. 132 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 7: But we remained good friends, and I rooted for him. 133 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 7: And he tells the story that Johnny Cakarraba came and 134 00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,040 Speaker 7: sat in his dining room with him and they had 135 00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 7: dinner together, and he Johnny said, turn off your phone, 136 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 7: tell your staff not to talk to you. We're gonna 137 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,640 Speaker 7: sit in the corner with your back to them. We're 138 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 7: gonna have dinner as patrons. We're gonna figure out what 139 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 7: we can do to fix this place, to make it 140 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 7: what you wanted to be. You worked too hard not 141 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 7: to be a raging success. It took him a couple 142 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 7: of years after that to implement everything that he and 143 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 7: Johnny and who does that, right, That's a Russell le 144 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 7: Barr kind of thing to do, But Johnny Craba had 145 00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 7: taken the time and invested in him to do this. 146 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 2: It's doe personal game. 147 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:02,960 Speaker 7: I mean, you could argue that Federal American Grilla is 148 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,719 Speaker 7: is a challenger to U Corrabas. I mean, that's not 149 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:10,160 Speaker 7: how they look at it, but it's true. So Matt 150 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,959 Speaker 7: is so excited he opens a new location on Iten 151 00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:18,280 Speaker 7: at Campbell, which they call their Memorial Villages or their 152 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:22,959 Speaker 7: Headweg location, and a couple of weeks after they open it. 153 00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,599 Speaker 7: So opening a restaurant is a beast. You've got to 154 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 7: pay all these people to come in and train, you 155 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 7: got to staff everything up. You've got all your inventory 156 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:32,480 Speaker 7: of your drinks and your. 157 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:33,479 Speaker 2: Meats and your vegetables. 158 00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 7: So if you shut down, you not only don't make money, 159 00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:41,200 Speaker 7: you lose a fortune. And usually restaurants are right on 160 00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,400 Speaker 7: the cusp when they open. Anyway, they need to start 161 00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:47,600 Speaker 7: making money on day one. So they decide they're going 162 00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:49,880 Speaker 7: to open. They're going to follow all the silly little 163 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,079 Speaker 7: protocols that we now know are just so stupid. 164 00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 2: I said it at the time, six feet who came 165 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 2: up with that? What turns out a child? 166 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:59,480 Speaker 7: Anyway, So Selena finds out they're open and declares that 167 00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 7: she wants to Sheriff's department to shut them down because 168 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 7: they are in Harris County. Then yeah, they are in 169 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:08,360 Speaker 7: Harris County, and the sheriff, to his credit, said we 170 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 7: can't do that.

You've been to the rodeo, you know the drill. 370 00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,960 Speaker 7: The dirt is what would be normally your football field. 371 00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 7: You got your regular seats, your stands, and then the 372 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,400 Speaker 7: dirt is where the actual rodeo, you know, the chuck 373 00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,160 Speaker 7: wagon races, all that goes on, and then they bring 374 00:22:57,200 --> 00:23:00,640 Speaker 7: the artist out in a vehicle and. 375 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:01,680 Speaker 2: They get up on the stage. 376 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 7: To be down on the dirt is an expensive ticket 377 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 7: because it's like a front row ticket. And Lena went 378 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,960 Speaker 7: down there in somebody else's tickets, And I'm gonna find 379 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:16,320 Speaker 7: out whose tickets they are.

So when 384 00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:39,119 Speaker 7: they told her you have to move, she pulled the 385 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,640 Speaker 7: Oh no, I don't, I'm the county judge.
