1
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:08,879
Speaker 1: It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.

2
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 2: So Michael Very Show is on the air. There is

3
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 2: good news and there is bad news. The good news

4
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:45,880
Speaker 2: is the Kamala Harris campaign is falling apart, exactly what

5
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 2: you would expect. The bad news is Kamala Harris doesn't

6
00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 2: run the campaign or lead the Democrat Party. There are

7
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 2: powerful people behind the scenes who are calling the shots,

8
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 2: and those people know the campaign is falling apart, and

9
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 2: when that happens, they do things that are desperate. There

10
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 2: was an attempt the cultural phenomenon that is Kamala Harris.

11
00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 2: She was going to be the first woman president, the

12
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 2: first of her type. She was a happy warrior. There

13
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:34,679
Speaker 2: was joy in the land. She alone was going to

14
00:01:34,720 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 2: bring joy to the people because she is joyous. So

15
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 2: the misery you were suffering was going to be alleviated

16
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 2: and replaced with joy, a new way forward, as their

17
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: presidential campaign airplane says on the side that was unveiled

18
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 2: this week. She was going to be the one, and

19
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 2: she had her an everyman. He was a coach, he

20
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 2: was a warrior, a combat warrior that too, a governor,

21
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 2: a farmer from the Midwest.

22
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 3: He was whoo many this was the ticket.

23
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 2: This was a dream ticket, and they tried it and

24
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 2: for a week the media went ahead with it, but

25
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:28,119
Speaker 2: she couldn't do an interview. Their convention fell apart. They've

26
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:32,640
Speaker 2: been revealed for who they are, and now independent voters

27
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 2: have come to the conclusion she's the problem, not the solution.

28
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:42,839
Speaker 2: So that means they resort to the despert They will

29
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 2: now turn back and begin a vicious attack on Donald Trump.

30
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 2: What are they capable of? Well, they got him removed

31
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 2: from the ballot in several states. Supreme Court had to

32
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 2: overrule that they raided his home mar A Lago in

33
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: Florida while bringing a criminal case against him there.

34
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 3: They brought a case against.

35
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 2: Him in Atlanta, Fulton County. You remember Fat Fanny Willis

36
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 2: and her hot dog, Nathan Wade. Then you had Jack

37
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,560
Speaker 2: Smith bringing a case in Washington, d c. They've brought

38
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 2: that back by the way they're refiling. You've got the

39
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:29,520
Speaker 2: Letitia James Attorney General in New York case where they

40
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 2: tried to bankrupt him, demanding that he put over four

41
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 2: hundred million dollars up for a bond cash mind you,

42
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 2: or they would start taking his properties. And then of

43
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 2: course she had Fat alvim Bragg, and he had the

44
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 2: most success because they had a judge ready to do

45
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 2: their bidding. The judge's daughter getting paid a lot of

46
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 2: money by the Democrats. She's a consultant. And they actually

47
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 2: convicted him of a felaon. They convicted him of a

48
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 2: he is a felon. Today everyone knows it'll be overturned.

49
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 2: This is how bad it was. Then from there they

50
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 2: couldn't remove him from the ballot. They tried him criminally.

51
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 2: Then they decided to just kill him, just shoot, shoot

52
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 2: and kill him. And they did shoot.

53
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 3: Him, shot him in the head.

54
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,640
Speaker 2: And yet here we are Trump more popular than he's

55
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 2: been the entire campaign, and Kamala Harris just not likable.

56
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 2: Record speaks for herself. She either hasn't done anything or

57
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 2: what she has done is awful. And Tim Walls was

58
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:45,839
Speaker 2: not the answer, and they're struggling. In fact, there are

59
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 2: several states now in play where the Democrats are having

60
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:53,799
Speaker 2: to visit that never should have been in play before.

61
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 3: This is like in the.

62
00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 2: Battle where you're having to go back and protect territory

63
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 2: that you had already taken.

64
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 3: This was not what they had been planning on.

65
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 2: States like New Hampshire and Virginia that they were believed

66
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 2: to be pretty strong. In New York Times headlines over

67
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 2: the last week, Trump can win on character.

68
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 3: Wow, New York Times, Harris.

69
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 2: Is weak and a phony and doesn't truly care about

70
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 2: the country. Not headlines, these were opeds. More dismaying was

71
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:38,360
Speaker 2: her seeming ignorance. This is appearing on the pages of

72
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,440
Speaker 2: the New York Times. It is not good for the Democrats.

73
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,919
Speaker 2: But brace yourself, because we're going to have to have

74
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 2: a race war between now and November. They're going to

75
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:53,359
Speaker 2: have to have George Floyd on steroids. It's going to happen.

76
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 2: Count on it, because they've got to have a way

77
00:05:57,920 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 2: for blacks to be angry and motivated. And unfortunately that

78
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 2: has worked in the past, and I hope it won't

79
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 2: this time. But hope's not a strategy. They're also going

80
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 2: to have to have a war. There's no way they can't.

81
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 2: You have six hostages, one of them an American citizen

82
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 2: murdered by Hamas after Joe Biden said I will bring

83
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 2: him home. You half my word.

84
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 3: It's not good. It's not good.

85
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 2: One person referred to Joe Biden, who's been now's going on.

86
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 3: Twenty days on vacation.

87
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,240
Speaker 2: He was laid out at the beach Rehoboth Beach in

88
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 2: Delaware over the weekend and they kept showing video of it,

89
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 2: and someone said, this is the longest open casket viewing

90
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 2: I think I've ever seen. He is still the president.

91
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,600
Speaker 2: She will have to be the president between now and November.

92
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 2: They have to have that week, if not two of

93
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 2: positive stories.

94
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 3: What's it liked?

95
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 2: Because she can't do an interview, Kamala Harris is now

96
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:24,360
Speaker 2: not taking questions from the media, and to avoid the

97
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 2: look that she's ignoring the questions, she now gets out

98
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 2: of her vehicle and puts headsets into her ear and

99
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 2: does a wave without even looking. She goes on to

100
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 2: Air Force one. She gets to the very top, she

101
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 2: turns back and waves. They bark out questions. She pretends

102
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 2: not to hear them. That's not good. That's not good

103
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 2: at all. Tim Walls was at the Minnesota State Pharaoh

104
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 2: of the weekend, first time he's been back since named

105
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 2: the VP running mate. He held some ice cream because

106
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 2: that's what you do, that's a Democrat standard.

107
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 3: He held some ice cream. They asked a question about

108
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 3: the ice cream. Oh, that's great.

109
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 2: They asked another question about the state fairs, just the best,

110
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 2: his best state fair?

111
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:13,520
Speaker 3: Ever?

112
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 2: Is it different in the past? How great is this

113
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 2: state fair? He answered that one. They said, what about

114
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 2: the six hostages that were killed? He crinkled up his

115
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 2: face in distinct face. He said, turn and walked off,

116
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 2: because why would he answer that question. You don't deserve

117
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 2: an answer to that. Mattress Mac was hospitalized over the weekend.

118
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 2: Many of you probably know that with what we're described

119
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 2: as cognitive issues and we have a new Harris County

120
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 2: scandal in the health department bid rigging twenty million dollars.

121
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 3: We'll talk to Mattress Mac and get his status update.

122
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 2: Formal aware, we have all your formal ware needs, from

123
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 2: morning suits to coordinating accessories. Very few people are beloved

124
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 2: any long used to. You could have heroes, titans and

125
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 2: pillars of the community, but it feels like that is

126
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 2: gone for a number of reasons.

127
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 3: This is too bad.

128
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 2: But Mac qualifies as beloved. The entire community concerned over

129
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 2: the last few days as he was hospitalized, but I

130
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 2: think I think he's on the mind. Mattress Mac is

131
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:34,160

420
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 2: than he. Expected it's hard to imagine how bad things

421
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 2: are at The city Of houston and At Harris.

422
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 3: County but let me help.

423
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 2: You you've got elected officials who are sitting around all

424
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 2: day every day, scheming how can we get a big

425
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,840
Speaker 2: chunk of money that we can steer to somebody we.

426
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 2: Control that, way they kick it back to. Us so

427
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:41,159
Speaker 2: you get these chunks of, MONEY covid, outreach public, health affordable.

428
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 2: Housing then you've got to bring together the people that

429
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:48,360
Speaker 2: you trust because this is. Criminal this is very criminal

430
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 2: what you're looking at. Here so then you've got to figure, out,

431
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,120
Speaker 2: well how do we give the bid that it's required

432
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:01,119
Speaker 2: that you have AN rfp process is request for proposals

433
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 2: and government contracting has to Follow there's a certain, standard

434
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 2: a certain protocol of laws that are required to be.

435
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 3: Followed so the request for proposals has a deadline and they, submit.

436
00:27:17,880 --> 00:27:21,920
Speaker 2: And then based on that you choose, negotiate and then

437
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 2: you put it before your, council city council Or Harris.

438
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:29,280
Speaker 3: County well At Harris County it's a lot.

439
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,080
Speaker 2: Easier to get away with this now because The democrats

440
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 2: control four out of the five. Seats all they have

441
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 2: left Is, ramsey and If ramsey it's like The Scooby.

442
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 2: Doo if it wasn't For ramsey pointing out all the, irregularities.

443
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:45,240
Speaker 3: They'd be able to get away with.

444
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 2: Everything but in this environment Under Sylvester, turner who will

445
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:54,320
Speaker 2: now Be Sheila Jackson lee's, replacement how very. Appropriate under

446
00:27:54,400 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 2: this little, deal what you've got is they've got to

447
00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:05,480
Speaker 2: circumvent the process where they score these. Vendors so in this,

448
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 2: case you've got the public health director who is they're

449
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 2: having these meetings and you have to stack the committee

450
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:19,639
Speaker 2: with your. Staff that's Why Lena hidalgo's top staffers were

451
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 2: on the. Committee we saw this in The city Of,

452
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 2: houston Where Sylvester turner would stack the committee with his.

453
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 2: People but the problem is there are a few bureaucrats

454
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 2: who've been there before this mayor and Before rodney ellis

455
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 2: the few that are left and they notice what's going.

456
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 2: On it's rather obvious if you remember THE covid contract

457
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:45,000
Speaker 2: that's Got Lena hudalgo's top three people under.

458
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 3: Indictment.

459
00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 2: Today it was A Ut Health Science, center another, one another,

460
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,160
Speaker 2: one and then this one woman working out of an

461
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 2: apartment In. Montrose and So lena's people had to say

462
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,200
Speaker 2: that THE Ut Health Science, center they had to give

463
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 2: them a terrible score in order to make up for

464
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,560
Speaker 2: the good score of people who were objective on the.

465
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 2: Committee because this is what THE Ut Health Science center,

466
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 2: does it would be pretty obvious that this is what

467
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 2: they do and that they're going to win this. Contract

468
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 2: they're kind of set up to do. This they have

469
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 2: the infrastructure and the. Experience, No, no this this woman over,

470
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 2: here she's the. One if you remember the affordable housing

471
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 2: contract that was handed out To Sylvester turner's thirty year law,

472
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 2: partner the housing, director who was A Sylvester turner, appointee

473
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:47,360
