The story that 166 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:45,960 Speaker 10: was brought to our attention this. 167 00:10:46,559 --> 00:10:47,800 Speaker 3: I think it's dangerous. 168 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:51,720 Speaker 17: It's dangerous for the citizen, it's dangerous for the solicitor, 169 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,840 Speaker 17: and I think it invites deaths and burglaries. 170 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 1: That's what Rosenberg Mayor William Benson says is the reason 171 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,400 Speaker 1: behind his proposal to ban door to door salespeople in 172 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:01,880 Speaker 1: the city. 173 00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,199 Speaker 17: They'll come in as a group, they'll go to a neighborhood, 174 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 17: then they'll go to another neighborhood, then they may go 175 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:07,479 Speaker 17: to another town. 176 00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 5: It tells ABC thirteen. 177 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 1: On top of complaints from residents, there was an incident 178 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,199 Speaker 1: where former council member's father was a victim of theft. 179 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:18,200 Speaker 17: I think they were selling electricity plans and they use 180 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 17: that as a pretext to distract the homeowner and went 181 00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,640 Speaker 17: and stole his safe out of his closet. It's twelve 182 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:26,439 Speaker 17: thousand dollars. 183 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 1: The currency law allows door to door sales as long 184 00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,679 Speaker 1: as a person has a permits, but if his proposal 185 00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 1: goes into law, there would be a total ban. 186 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 3: Going to be up to the council. 187 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:40,760 Speaker 17: But I would suggest to avoid the loopholes and make 188 00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 17: it easier for enforcement. It would be easier if you 189 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:45,199 Speaker 17: just had a total prohibition. 190 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: One Rosenberg residence and business owner doesn't feel a ban 191 00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: is needed. 192 00:11:49,600 --> 00:11:51,280 Speaker 3: I don't think a ban is necessary. 193 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 13: I don't think it's it's not been something so prevalent 194 00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:58,719 Speaker 13: here for me anyway that we need to put that. 195 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,640 Speaker 5: Much concern in field. The decision should be left. 196 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,200 Speaker 10: To guarantee you that woman right there. Yeah, I don't 197 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:10,599 Speaker 10: see any need. No, No, I hadn't. I don't know 198 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,400 Speaker 10: why we need rape laws. I never been raped. Why 199 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 10: we got murder laws. I don't want anybody been murdered. 200 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,120 Speaker 10: I think it's just much you do about nothing. That's 201 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:21,400 Speaker 10: the woman that the first time some thug drives out 202 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:24,319 Speaker 10: from Houston and starts banging on her door, she's calling 203 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:26,839 Speaker 10: and wondering how come the cops aren't there in twelve seconds? 204 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:31,559 Speaker 3: Same one apparently Lago Vista. Uh was it League City? 205 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:32,800 Speaker 2: Uh? 206 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 10: Jimmy pappas the mayor of Bunk was it Bunker Village Valley? 207 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,240 Speaker 10: He said that in their in their hamlet, uh, they 208 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 10: have a you have to go to the to the 209 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 10: city hall and get a permit and get strip searched. 210 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 10: I guess by him, before you can go door to 211 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 10: door all of those things. All that you're really doing 212 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 10: is making it difficult. Somebody does go door to door, 213 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 10: and you're giving the cops the ability to go up there. 214 00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,199 Speaker 10: Billy Benton, the mayor of Rosenberg, is our guest. I'm 215 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,040 Speaker 10: a little mad at him because I said it a 216 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:01,680 Speaker 10: message yesterday to be on the show and he didn't 217 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:02,720 Speaker 10: call intel after the show. 218 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:07,920 Speaker 3: We'll get past that.

H Oh. I'm not mad at the opportunity. 227 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 10: I think those experiences make you a better mayor. What 228 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:38,440 Speaker 10: made you want to do this. 229 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 12: Uh, it's just public service. 230 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,840 Speaker 10: I mean, what made you want to do the anti 231 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:47,600 Speaker 10: solicitation stuff? 232 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:53,920 Speaker 12: Well, frankly, we're at our wits end. We ten years ago, 233 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 12: ten or twelve years ago, we passed a permitting process 234 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 12: because we had nothing on the books at that time. 235 00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:06,719 Speaker 12: I propose that I actually I proposed total prohibition at 236 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,679 Speaker 12: that time, but the council that I was working with 237 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:15,600 Speaker 12: at that time didn't didn't want total prohibition, so we 238 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 12: passed a permitting process. And really that has not been 239 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:26,560 Speaker 12: that effective. When these folks are are confront are asked 240 00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,480 Speaker 12: by a citizen if you have a permit, they claimed 241 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,880 Speaker 12: they didn't know they needed a permit, and perhaps they 242 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 12: don't know, but I think it just has provided loopholes 243 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 12: for folks uh to to continue to door to door pedal. Frankly, 244 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 12: and when when folks are asked about to go get 245 00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 12: a permit, they simply go around the corner or go 246 00:14:50,200 --> 00:14:54,040 Speaker 12: down the street and continue their their door to door pedaling. 247 00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 3: Do you think you'll get this passed? 248 00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 12: I I hope so, I don't know, you know, it'll 249 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 12: be a group decision. Hopefully folks will come and express 250 00:15:06,960 --> 00:15:14,080 Speaker 12: their view. This was actually this last time. The current 251 00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 12: time we're talking about, some of our constituents are requesting this, 252 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,040 Speaker 12: so hopefully I'll have a little help. I didn't have 253 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 12: much help last time, So if we can get some 254 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 12: folks to show up Yeah, it's likely or hopeful to pass, 255 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,360 Speaker 12: but you know other folks may show up and speak 256 00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 12: against it. So it's just democracy, Yes. 257 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 3: It is. 258 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 10: Well, we think it's a great idea.

Ramon said, Commissioner, you won't believe 303 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 10: what happened at County Commissioner's Score yesterday. And I think 304 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:36,119 Speaker 10: Tom Ramsey was thinking, well, okay, he had no idea. 305 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:37,760 Speaker 3: How to take that? Am I right?

I got that. 312 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,840 Speaker 10: So so let's step back for a moment. You know 313 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 10: that Lena is all joking aside. She is unstable and 314 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:06,840 Speaker 10: it's a problem. We start with that promise, and we've 315 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 10: seen some pretty wacky stuff, but yesterday what happened? 316 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:13,240 Speaker 3: Could you walk me. 317 00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,439 Speaker 10: Through what you're thinking, because this might have been the 318 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:16,920 Speaker 10: craziest she has behaved. 319 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 13: Yeah, and it's really a sad commentary on her. She's 320 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 13: very passionate about a particular program, early childhood program, which 321 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:32,439 Speaker 13: the county has no business doing, but we're doing it, 322 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,240 Speaker 13: and she's made it her number one mission in life 323 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 13: to fund this program. We said when this program started 324 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:44,320 Speaker 13: Early Childhood Program with URPA money four years ago, that 325 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:46,400 Speaker 13: at some point we're going to have to end it 326 00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 13: because it's only going to run as long as we 327 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:51,720 Speaker 13: have URP of money. The money runs out next year, 328 00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:55,800 Speaker 13: and so she wanted to have a vote. Asked the 329 00:19:55,880 --> 00:20:00,479 Speaker 13: court to vote to establish a penny tax, which is 330 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:05,600 Speaker 13: sixty million dollars a year for a thirty million dollar program. 331 00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,280 Speaker 13: That's pretty consistent with her the math part. And then 332 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:13,119 Speaker 13: she makes it like everybody is going to come to court, 333 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 13: we're going to vote, you know, to get people to 334 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 13: support whatever initiatives. You don't insult them, you don't make 335 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,919 Speaker 13: fun of them. And for over an hour before we 336 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 13: ever got to the point of trying to vote, she 337 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:30,600 Speaker 13: insulted everybody in the room, from Adan Garcia to Commissioner Brionis. 338 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 13: She has such a poor relationship with her Democrat colleagues. 339 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 13: The only one that, occasionally, I think, frankly feel sorry 340 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,080 Speaker 13: for her and votes with her, it's Commissioner Ellis. But 341 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 13: she is so ostracized herself from the other two Garcia 342 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:53,160 Speaker 13: and Brionis, that it's to a point it's embarrassing. So 343 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 13: she could probably get three votes, but she doesn't know 344 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 13: how to do that. 345 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,600 Speaker 10: I'll say it so you won't have to. I don't 346 00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 10: believe Anielais feels sorry for her. That's the reason he 347 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,040 Speaker 10: votes for her. He owns her, and he runs the 348 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 10: county through her. She is the puppet he used as 349 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:13,800 Speaker 10: much as as Clean and Company did with Joe Biden, 350 00:21:14,200 --> 00:21:16,880 Speaker 10: and now he's worried whether he'll be able to control 351 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 10: her replacement because there's so much egg on his face 352 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 10: for what all she has done in public. It's embarrassing 353 00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:28,080 Speaker 10: and it has splashed on him. 354 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 13: Yeah, it has become a problem for the county that 355 00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 13: she goes through what she did yesterday, and both Commissioner 356 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 13: Brionas and commission Garcia are on the ballot next year. 357 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:40,840 Speaker 13: I would think the one thing they don't want to 358 00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,160 Speaker 13: be is on the ballot with her because of her 359 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 13: incredibly poor leadership and how she has created issues when 360 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:54,919 Speaker 13: sometimes there are aren't any issues. So that's why I 361 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,640 Speaker 13: think we need to look at at her tenure, look 362 00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 13: at what's being done, because right now it's a problem 363 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 13: in serving Harris County by the fact that she is 364 00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:10,560 Speaker 13: responsible for just a simple act of leading a meeting 365 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,399 Speaker 13: and running a meeting, and Michael, she didn't know how 366 00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:13,920 Speaker 13: to do that. 367 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 10: Well, she didn't know how to do it when she started, 368 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:22,679 Speaker 10: and I think her instability has gotten the better of her. 369 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:24,000 Speaker 3: It is. 370 00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 10: It really is all kidding aside. It's not good for her. 371 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 10: A person like her, who has had a lifetime by 372 00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:38,679 Speaker 10: her own admission of institutionalization, should not be in a 373 00:22:38,800 --> 00:22:42,560 Speaker 10: high stress position like this. It is unhealthy and it's dangerous, 374 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 10: and a lot of people around her know that and 375 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 10: could have prevented this. I think I think she will 376 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 10: be much better off when she's out of office because 377 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,520 Speaker 10: it will bring her less. The woman is ill. I mean, look, 378 00:22:56,560 --> 00:23:00,520 Speaker 10: I can disagree with Rodney Ellis. He's not ill. He's smart, whip, 379 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,879 Speaker 10: I mean, he's controlling everything. I think he's crooked. I 380 00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:08,160 Speaker 10: think he's a bad person. I think he's all these 381 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:12,000 Speaker 10: other things. But with her, I genuinely believe she is 382 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:13,040 Speaker 10: mentally ill. 383 00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 13: Well when we have to try to go through a 384 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:25,520 Speaker 13: court meeting under her leadership, the just the going through 385 00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 13: there was five hundred and forty items of the agenda. 386 00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:32,119 Speaker 13: We pulled roughly ten percent of them for discussion. And 387 00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 13: normally that's a pretty transparent, easy process, you get through 388 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,439 Speaker 13: get input from the public. But she makes it so 389 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 13: difficult to even function. So we need to look at 390 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 13: just out of respect for who we are responsible for. 391 00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:55,280 Speaker 13: We did vote yesterday. That's one of the last things 392 00:23:55,320 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 13: we did was to vote to censor her based on 393 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:03,040 Speaker 13: her decorum. She was dropping f bombs in front of 394 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 13: little children three meetings ago, so we can't have that. 395 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,280 Speaker 13: That that's just not that's just not what leaders should do. 396 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 13: And people that tell me, oh, well, you know she 397 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:20,359 Speaker 13: just been No, you can't do that. That is inappropriate behavior. 398 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,720 Speaker 13: What she did yesterday was not appropriate. Commission Garcia even 399 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 13: apologized to whoever was left at the court for her behavior. 400 00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 13: So when we're having my colleagues, my Democrat colleagues apologizing 401 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:37,520 Speaker 13: for her behavior, we got we can do better. 402 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,560 Speaker 3: Can you hold just a moment, sure? 403 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,880 Speaker 10: Commissioner Tom Ramsey is our guest of the Harris County 404 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 10: Commissioners Court. 405 00:24:44,760 --> 00:24:58,080 Speaker 19: More, that's will break my intermittent fast scheduled time after 406 00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:00,800 Speaker 19: the evening show today and eat afternoon. 407 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:03,960 Speaker 10: And I'm going to take Uncle Jerry because it's his 408 00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 10: birthday and he's already agreed he's going to take all 409 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:12,000 Speaker 10: the bandageing off his foot looks like a mummy and 410 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 10: take it. 411 00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:16,480 Speaker 3: All off and let me see. He authorized me. 412 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 10: To post a picture of his foot to Facebook. But 413 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 10: I'm afraid they'll ban us. And the reason is Renee 414 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:31,080 Speaker 10: told me, oh, I forgot Tom Rasey. 415 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 3: Just one second. I'll be real quick. 416 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,040 Speaker 10: Renee told me his wife when he came out, I'm 417 00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:37,840 Speaker 10: on the phone trying to make sure he's okay, trying 418 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:38,679 Speaker 10: to make sure he's okay. 419 00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 3: She said. 420 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:44,200 Speaker 10: The doctor came out, he's doing great. The doctor said, 421 00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:46,960 Speaker 10: he's going to be very happy with his surgery. Well, 422 00:25:47,400 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 10: he's had a bone sticking out of the bottom of 423 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,439 Speaker 10: his foot for years. He's been in a boot for 424 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:55,440 Speaker 10: almost just short of five years. So the boot became 425 00:25:55,480 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 10: who he was. And so finally this was this was 426 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,280 Speaker 10: to fix the bone spurs that he's had since he 427 00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:05,560 Speaker 10: was a teenager just got worse and worse that were 428 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,199 Speaker 10: literally poking through the bottom of his foot, and his 429 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:15,520 Speaker 10: foot was like not quicksand but his foot was just oozing. No, 430 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:18,280 Speaker 10: you're going to hear this, you asked, would just start 431 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,560 Speaker 10: oozing and it was split open and it was painful, 432 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 10: and so he'd go back in the damn boot. So 433 00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:27,560 Speaker 10: he'd had enough. He does competitive shooting. So the competitive 434 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:31,640 Speaker 10: shooting deal is you shoot and you move down the line, 435 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 10: and you shoot and you move down the line. Well, 436 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,119 Speaker 10: he wasn't able to do his competitions and that was 437 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 10: caused him to go crazy. So he does the surgery. 438 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 3: Okay, fine. 439 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,640 Speaker 10: He had a toenail on this same foot that had 440 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 10: a fungus, which a lot of people do. My dad 441 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:48,960 Speaker 10: has fungus on every single one of his nails. He's 442 00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,919 Speaker 10: treated every day. And you see guys that have this 443 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:54,639 Speaker 10: and it just gets real thick, and it was causing 444 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,400 Speaker 10: a lot of problems. That doctor made the decision while 445 00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 10: she was in there. She probably had a mortgage due 446 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:02,600 Speaker 10: and she decided to take that nail off. So when 447 00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:07,720 Speaker 10: she took that nail off, it is absolutely brutal. I mean, 448 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:11,680 Speaker 10: it's just brutal. And in fact, Renee Jerry's wife said, 449 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:14,440 Speaker 10: I'm more worried about this big toenail that I am 450 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 10: the underside of his foot, well, the underside of his foot. 451 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,199 Speaker 10: She split that foot open. She went in there and 452 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 10: she's grinding and cutting off trees like tree limbs. You know, 453 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:25,840 Speaker 10: you ever had a big oak tree room on We 454 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 10: lived in westy We had a big oak tree. It 455 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,440 Speaker 10: was growing underneath our house and they had to come 456 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:33,879 Speaker 10: in and they put these uh barriers. I forget what 457 00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,639 Speaker 10: they're called. I bet Tom Ramsey'll know. We'll ask him 458 00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:38,080 Speaker 10: in a minute. And why they put these barriers in 459 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,879 Speaker 10: root barriers to keep it from growing any further. Well, 460 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:45,160 Speaker 10: that's what they did here. And they did all that, 461 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,000 Speaker 10: and his foot, the underside of his foot, is just 462 00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:50,040 Speaker 10: I mean, they put staples the cut. They had to 463 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 10: go in with such a wide deal. You saw the staples. 464 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:54,119 Speaker 10: I sent it to Ramon. He wasn't expecting it, but 465 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,640 Speaker 10: lost his mind anyway. So that there's the big toenail, 466 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 10: which Renee said, is that their biggest concern? And then 467 00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,960 Speaker 10: there's the bottom of the foot. So I counted. There 468 00:28:02,960 --> 00:28:07,240 Speaker 10: were twenty three text messages between me and Renee until 469 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,760 Speaker 10: the twenty fourth one where she sends me a message 470 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:16,080 Speaker 10: and says, Oh, don't worry, I need to tell you 471 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 10: one other thing. Well, now I'm worried. They had to 472 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 10: take off his pinky toe. Well, Renee, you buried the lead. 473 00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,199 Speaker 10: I knew he was going to have a surgery. I 474 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:34,479 Speaker 10: had seen his I'd seen his big toenail for years. 475 00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 10: I wasn't shocked they took his big toenail off. Let's 476 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 10: get that thing out of Let's get all this done 477 00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 10: while we got in because he won't sit still to 478 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 10: have any procedures done in the first place, and that's 479 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 10: half the problem. My wife fusses at him, Jerry, let's 480 00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:47,920 Speaker 10: just get this thing fixed and be done with it. 481 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,160 Speaker 10: You've been dragging this thing out. And that's what Renee says, 482 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:50,920 Speaker 10: That's what I says. 483 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:52,400 Speaker 3: But he's very hard headed. 484 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 10: Oh and by the way, they just decided he didn't 485 00:28:55,960 --> 00:29:01,080 Speaker 10: need his pinky toe, I said, Renee, we're twenty three 486 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 10: text messages into this.

It's kind of 523 00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 13: like coming on to Michael Berry and you think you're 524 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,240 Speaker 13: gonna talk about the county. You end up talking about feet. 525 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 13: But somehow, somehow the foot story really ties into I 526 00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,480 Speaker 13: figured it would. I think that was good. Yeah, that 527 00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:12,800 Speaker 13: was a good tie. So no, we not sure every 528 00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 13: time when she leaves if she's gonna come back. So 529 00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:20,640 Speaker 13: there's an unknown. She at some point she left and 530 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:21,800 Speaker 13: she did not come back. 531 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:26,160 Speaker 3: So what did y'all do? 532 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,920 Speaker 13: Well? We we do very well, thank you. I mean 533 00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 13: we we function really well. We get through the agenda. 534 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 13: We we actually talk about things. I get to vote 535 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:42,560 Speaker 13: know on a lot of stuff that that's put out there. 536 00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:48,680 Speaker 13: So it does actually run a lot better because we're 537 00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:53,280 Speaker 13: not distracted by unusual rants or talking about things that 538 00:31:53,320 --> 00:31:56,400 Speaker 13: don't have anything to do with the topic. She hardly 539 00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 13: ever prepares for a meeting and we're sitting there, uh uh, 540 00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 13: fully prepared. I will give my colleagues book credit. They 541 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:12,920 Speaker 13: come to court, they're prepared. We have good, short, effective conversations. 542 00:32:13,200 --> 00:32:16,960 Speaker 13: We agree, disagree, we vote and move on. But it's 543 00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:22,400 Speaker 13: just very unpredictable what what might what she might do 544 00:32:22,880 --> 00:32:25,840 Speaker 13: or might say. And that's the that's the sad part 545 00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,400 Speaker 13: about it. In terms, that's the embarrassing part of it. 546 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 13: She had children in there yesterday at Commissioner's court doing 547 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,640 Speaker 13: these antics, and it's just it's just really really a 548 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:42,360 Speaker 13: shame that that's what uh, that's what uh we're we 549 00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:46,840 Speaker 13: have to experience, not just as commissioners, but it's embarrassing 550 00:32:46,880 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 13: the third largest county in America as that type of leadership. 551 00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 10: Well, you're the last hold out Republican commissioner. They jerrymandered 552 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:02,240 Speaker 10: Cactus Jack Cale, your buddy in mine, out of his seat. 553 00:33:02,640 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 10: We've got elections coming up next year. Let's hope we 554 00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,280 Speaker 10: can bring a change. But you keep doing the good 555 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,239 Speaker 10: work you're doing. It reminds me of Ted Cruz when 556 00:33:09,240 --> 00:33:11,640 Speaker 10: he first got to the Senate in January twenty thirteen. 557 00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,640 Speaker 10: Sometimes it was ninety nine to one, but his vote 558 00:33:14,720 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 10: was the one vote that was the logical one. We 559 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,760 Speaker 10: appreciate your true public service 560 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,680 Speaker 3: Tom Ramsey, thank your Bible
