1
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:09,960
Speaker 1: It's that time time, time, time, luck and load.

2
00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 2: The Michael Verie Show is on the air.

3
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:19,799
Speaker 3: If your political rhetoric encourages violence against our law enforcement,

4
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 3: you can go straight to Hell and you have no

5
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 3: place in the.

6
00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 2: Political conversation of the United States of America.

7
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 4: ICE is looking more and more like an American Gestopo.

8
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:42,160
Speaker 5: They're huddled around the elevator banks in masks without identifying information,

9
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 5: with a terrifying like these are Gestapo tactics, but it.

10
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,920
Speaker 3: Has created this year as they've seen the kind of

11
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 3: fascist ICE Gestapo militias go around the Latino American citizens

12
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 3: in places like La.

13
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 4: ICE agents, masked ICE Gestoppo agents getting more funding than

14
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 4: any other law enforcement agency in the history of the

15
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 4: United States.

16
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 3: ICE running guestopo like around our country.

17
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 4: The Gestapo had the same function. It was there to

18
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 4: draw distinction between us and them. It was not federally,

19
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 4: it was controlled from the by the leader. And we're

20
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 4: seeing a disturbing similarities between this force and the Gestapo.

21
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 1: We've got these masked thug cowards kidnapping innocent people and

22
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,839
Speaker 1: sending them off to be slaves or tortured in other countries.

23
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 2: Dressing like thugs and acting like thugs.

24
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 3: People still want to come here, despite the crazy They

25
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 3: still want to come here because they know in this

26
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 3: land their voice is protected, their rights are protected, and

27
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 3: there won't be jack boottt thugs coming in wearing masks

28
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 3: over the face to take them off the streets.

29
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 2: Oh wait, oh wait, I'm sorry about that's happening. That's

30
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 2: happening right now.

31
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: We've got to figure out a way to stop ICE

32
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: from what they are doing as soon as possible. We've

33
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 1: got to figure out a way to stop ICE from

34
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: what they are doing as soon as possible.

35
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 3: This is not about the pronoun police.

36
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 2: This is about the secret police.

37
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:53,079
Speaker 1: We're not North Korea, mister President, We're not the Soviet Union.

38
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 2: Man to see his rabbi in a very serious tone,

39
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 2: he said, Rabbi, something terrible is happening, and I have

40
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 2: to talk to you about it. Rabbi asked, what's wrong.

41
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 2: The man replied, my wife is poisoning me. The rabbi

42
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 2: was very surprised by this and asked how can that be,

43
00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 2: to which the man pleaded, I'm telling you, I'm certain

44
00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 2: she's poisoning me. What should I do? Rabbi said, what?

45
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,800
Speaker 2: Let me talk to her. I'll see what I can

46
00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 2: find out, and i'll let you know. A week later,

47
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 2: the rabbi called a man and said, well, I met

48
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:15,360
Speaker 2: with your wife. We talked for three hours. The man

49
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 2: anxiously replied, yes, Oh, you want to punchline now, Mattina Minnie.

50
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 2: How in the world were so many violent criminals in

51
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 2: Harris County able to bond out so easily? Well? The

52
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 2: Houston Chronicle in Fox twenty six provide a look into

53
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 2: the Aabel bail Bond's fraud scheme. That's the letter A

54
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,679
Speaker 2: and then a a Able Bailbond's fraud scheme that helped

55
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 2: get violent criminals back out on the street. Chronicles says

56
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 2: many of the people indicted are accused of being straw

57
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 2: co signers who put their names on documents they knew

58
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 2: painted an incorrect financial picture. The proof, according to prosecutors,

59
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 2: came in the form of forged payt ubs. In many cases,

60
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 2: the pay stubs that were submitted to the insurers were

61
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 2: from companies that didn't even exist or that never employed

62
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 2: the person who submitted the pay stub, according to court documents.

63
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 2: The story from Fox twenty six.

64
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 5: After an Astros game in July of twenty twenty one,

65
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 5: thirty eight year old Gerald Wayne Williams shot and killed

66
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 5: seventeen year old David Castro in a road rage incident.

67
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 5: In twenty twenty three, Williams was sentenced to thirty years

68
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 5: in prison. Friday afternoon, he appeared in federal courts to

69
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 5: plead guilty to conspiracy.

70
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 2: To commit wire fraud.

71
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 5: That's charge stems from williams three hundred and fifty thousand

72
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,560
Speaker 5: dollars bond he posted while awaiting trial for David's murder.

73
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 6: He conspired with a number of people, including Aable Bonds

74
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 6: in Nashiba mahab to put together falsified records, and those

75
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 6: falsified records were submitted and sent across state lines in

76
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 6: order to get them bailed out.

77
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 5: Soon, corrupt bail bonding practices here in Irris County would

78
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 5: come to light. In August of twenty twenty two, the

79
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 5: FBI rated Aable bonds, leading to several of us, including

80
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 5: company owner Shiba Maharab, our ongoing series breaking bond exposed

81
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 5: defendants free on multiple bonds for aggravated robbery. Turns out

82
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 5: some of them were robbing people in order to make

83
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 5: payments on their multiple bonds. It became sort of well

84
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 5: known that defendants weren't posting ten percent of the bond amount.

85
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, so separately on top of it being falsified, they

86
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 6: also weren't putting up the entire ten percent that people assumed.

87
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 6: And what we found out as a community was that

88
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 6: was more of an understanding and not a policy, and

89
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 6: so we started making a push that that's something that

90
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 6: had to change.

91
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 5: That push led to a new state law mandating ten

92
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 5: percent of the bond amounts for violent offenses and a

93
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:15,600
Speaker 5: decrease and violent crime here. Old Williams will be sentenced

94
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 5: next month. Shiba Mahara is expected to stay in trial

95
00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 5: later this year.

96
00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 2: There comes a point where you realize we have people

97
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 2: we live among with whom we do not share values.

98
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 2: This is not a nation in that sense. As regards

99
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 2: those people. We can coexist to some extent, and we

100
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 2: all know at some point we're going to be a

101
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 2: victim of one of their crimes. It's simply going to

102
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 2: be a question of whether we're armed and prepared and

103
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 2: blast them and then deal with other people like them claiming,

104
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 2: you know, they did nothing wrong, or whether they're going

105
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 2: to get the better of us fast. We're going to

106
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 2: serve on juries with other people like this who are

107
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 2: going to be sympathetic to them. But we might as

108
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 2: well just go and admit this and work around it.

109
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 2: Rabb I said, you want my advice? What flavor park? Chocolate?

110
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 2: I said, chocolate. Freak freaking out. I worked for Papa's

111
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 2: family around ninety ninety one. I was in college at

112
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 2: the University of Houston. I trained. I got hired at

113
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:55,800

115
00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 2: lot east of Kirby, and I can't remember what was there,

116
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 2: but they bought it and it had like a covering aray,

117
00:09:11,840 --> 00:09:13,200
Speaker 2: and they just kept it and they put a sign

118
00:09:13,240 --> 00:09:15,320
Speaker 2: there and they made that they're parking because they had

119
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 2: insufficient parking. So I got hired there. I trained at

120
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:29,640

Speaker 2: come in and sit at a table by himself AND

138
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 2: I i would BE i was kind of the star

139
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,960

313
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,480

314
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 2: we had kind of a friend of me, relationship BUT

315
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:36,239
Speaker 2: i didn't know he took it. Personally so THEN i

316
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 2: Took Pat gray's. Job and then WHEN i took over

Speaker 2: on the air with his own, show which turned out

322
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,479

323
00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:00,560
Speaker 2: carry a show Like Whoopy. Goldberg he was very funny

324

Speaker 2: you know What Michael berry used to do to. Me

328
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,040

406
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 2: a long time at the same, place building a business

407
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:22,439
Speaker 2: starting from. Scratch you Know i've had. Addicts tell. ME

408
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,399
Speaker 2: i think you can learn a lot from. Addicts because

409
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,679
Speaker 2: we all have our own, weaknesses whether it's an addiction or.

410
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 2: Not we all do things that are not in our best,

411
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 2: interest despite the fact that we know they're not in

412
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 2: our best. Interests for some, reason we keep giving in

413
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 2: to these. DECISIONS a lot of people like to make

414
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 2: it the case that addiction takes the choice out of

415
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 2: the addict's hand because that reduces the personal. Accountability but

416
00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 2: anybody that goes to one of those treatment programs will

417
00:27:52,320 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 2: tell you that the treatment programs are all about taking

418
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 2: responsibility for who you. Are that's part of what being

419
00:27:59,560 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 2: an addict. Doesn't god help you if you have a
