Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
So Michael Arry Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Michael ol Sith pair is doing the best they can.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Michael, why are you picking on them?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
They're doing the.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Best they can. You know, one thing you got to understand.
The way you get to the best results is not
everybody holds hand and holds hands against.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
The long.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
You've got to have a sharp clash of ideas. And
if you've never been exposed to that, you don't understand.
You watch on the sideline winning teams coaches and Belichick
and Brady used to go at it. Great coaches, great players,
great owners. When the Yankees were at their best, Steinbrenner
(01:12):
was stirring up.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Everybody was on edge at all time.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Nick Saban doesn't walk along the sideline saying, boys, y'all
are doing a great He's in their face and sometimes
you can tell the fight is over. Coach, we winn
by forty points. I don't care you, mister Block. Nine
of the twenty highest salaries in the state last year
were in the Houston area, including the top two sci
(01:37):
Fair ISD Superintendent Mark Henry at five hundred and thirty
seven thousand dollars. Maybe Mark Henry should take a pay
cut instead of the parents not having school bus service
for their kids. Maybe that would be a better move, Scott,
(02:01):
he writes, sorry to disagree with you, but they have
an extremely conservative board now they flipped last year.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
The district was forced a force remark.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
To cut across the board, including teachers, counselors, transportation, which
CFISD has always exceeded the state minimum distance.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Well there, Well you're the tallest madget. Be proud of that.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Para professionals, substitute teachers, et cetera. All school districts are
dealing with this due to drunk Day not getting school
funding passed through the House. Also, CFISD is over eighty
million dollars budget shortfall this year. Okay, that is not
(02:47):
an argument in favor of the administration. That's an argument
against it. See if in my household we have a
budget shortfall and all of a sudden, children starve to death,
and you go your kids starve to death a budget shortfall.
Oh oh, well we didn't realize that.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Okay, y, that's fine, But.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
You also went on vacation, Michael, Yeah, yeah, still went
on vacation. Yeah, because you don't weren't gonna cut back
on my vacation. I'm gonna starve my kids instead. This
is ridiculous some of some of the parents don't understand.
I know you've fallen in love. You always have to
put the doctor with doctor Mark Henry. It's a PhD
(03:33):
in education. Okay, you fart around long enough in school
and you'll get one. It's not that impressive. Door, Doctor
Henry is here of you? One all rise, Doctor Henry.
I see these school districts where they treat the superintendent
like they're the king of the world. That's nonsense. They
(03:58):
are public servants. You got a better education in the
one room schoolroom. You know why, because you didn't have
all the nonsense. You started hiring these people and worshiping them.
I've seen the school board members hiring lunch with doctor
Henry today.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Okay, well, doctor Henry.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
You know he's a leading authority on educational theory.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Doctor Henry. Oh wow, do.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
You hear yourselves? Do you hear yourselves? Anywhere in this
whole thing? Is your child a part of it? You
need teachers, you need students, You need a room, preferably
with air conditioning. Everything else is details. Want to have
(04:55):
a football program, fine, but you can't have forty sports
and fund them all.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Get the kiss to schooling back.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Realistically, that's an expectation, a reasonable one. But see these
superintendents then want three people to delegate to.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Oh that's brilliant.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
They want to hand everything off to the to the
people below them. Well, the people below them, Oh, I
want to be the head superintendent in charge.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Oh it's doctor Douglas Killian. Well how much is he making.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
So then the assistant superintendents hire their people, and then
they hire a chief of this and a director of that.
And by the time you get down to the teachers
the front line, because I can guarantee your kid doesn't
(05:57):
know who the assistant to the superintendents assistant director of
superintendality is. It's the teacher and the kid. There's the education,
there's where the roaver meets the boom. Next question, by
the way, I'm told, is that Jeff on the black line,
(06:17):
white Jeff.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
We got white jeffs.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
We've gone old school for a while there we only
had black Jeffs. Jeff, you're out in front of the building.
That's the eighty million dollar building that's backed up the
Barry Center.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
No, I'm not Hey, by the way, I'm transitioning to
be black, so I can't get on.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
The black line. Later.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
I saw a zoom call last week. It was a
zoom call for what did they call themselves? It was
an obese lesbian zoom call. And so a skinny white
guy gets on there and he looks like a gaming kid,
looks about twenty years old, and they're all looking at him,
and they're trying to be inclusive and tolerant.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
But excuse me, are you supposed to be yes, what
are you doing.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
I'm a fat I'm an obese lesbian. You don't look
they said, but you look able bodied. He said, I
identify as obese and I am a lesbian. And it
took him about five minutes till they finally dropped him
off the call.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
But he was dead serious. He stayed in character.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
He was an he identified as an obese lesbian, and
why were they doing this to him?
Speaker 2 (07:26):
It was brilliant anyway. So you're out in front of
the building, Yeah I'm not.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
But the report you played at the last hour about
the people waiting forty five minutes in line at the
corner of Cyprus, North Houston and Telby, that is literally
one minute away from the Sci Fair Performing Art Center,
the multimillion dollars Cipher Performing Art Center.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
That we now have.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
You know, my thought on all of that is this,
if you look at the model of a private school,
everything the private school wants to do above the level
of education, they go get donors. Far I don't have
a problem with that. Go get people who voluntarily wish
(08:16):
to buy in to your program. Put their name on
the building, Sell every seat at the theater, sell the carpet, sell.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
The you name it.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I was working in DC at a law firm and
I had to do some legal research. And this was
we didn't have access to.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Shepherdized, which means look at the history of a case
at our law firm, if you can believe this in
nineteen ninety five. So I went to Catholic University Law School,
Beautiful and I would work there every evening. Because ansing resources,
we didn't every seat. They had a phone book where
you could call. It was like the Jack Mercer phone booths.
That's how they raised the money to do a little bit.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
The law school. No debt bulletin boards out there. You
know a woman named Laurie gr nand I think she's
an emailer for us.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
You want another reason the school districts are low on cash,
Foolish spending is one reason. Another is that more parents
are homeschooling because more parents are tired of the garbage in,
garbage out they're teaching in schools. I support parents doing this.
Why are test scores getting lower and lower when the
spending is increasing. Look at the district policies in the
(09:24):
classroom in some cases in parents and other cases. Also
numerous reports on hospitals saying they're out of money to
treat to treat patients in the er who have no insurance.
Why illegals coming over handouts? Same with the public school system.
Check reports on how much schools are having to spend
on educating, feeding, and after school care for illegal aliens.
(09:46):
Also check the increase in low income housing developments in
your area. Department of Housing and Urban Development have been
moving these out to the suburbs for over twenty years.
It's so true, She's so right, Valerie Rights. Sci fi
ISD ran themselves into this budget crisis. This started years
ago with their bonds that we probably all voted for
(10:07):
at the time. Easy to point fingers, but it starts
with CFISD one hundred and thirty eight million dollars shortfall
is a joke. Why do you think doctor Henry up
and left midyear? He knew this mess was coming. Check
the link above and gather your info. Gather ye rosebuds
while ye may ramon because a budget crisis is a coming. Ooh,
(10:31):
these parents are hot, man, They are mad about this.
All I keep hearing about is this administration building. Apparently
they built the taj Mahal of administration buildings. It is

Peggy Flannagan eedy welcome. You know it's comical, it really is.
If we could get people to understand these are they
call jd Vance weird. This is who you're dealing with.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
This is what Peggy Flannagan couldn't be Peggy Flannagan because
she spends her whole day lecturing everybody about indigenous people
and blacks and Hispanics and retards and cripples and cyclopses.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
And men that want to be women that love women
that want to be.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Men who've had an abortion and now they're a man
who's had an abortion and wants to protect abortion and sleep.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
But it's a lot, it's a lot to prove. I
can't keep up with it and not going to bring
back shame. We've just got to you know, these.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
People always existed, the person that wanted a lot of attention,
the person that got really really into you know, defending
this or protecting that, or being the spokesman for this
over there. But in the past nobody paid attention to them,
and their family members were ashamed of them.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
So they went off to Berkeley. They just all lived
in Berkeley.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
But somehow along the way people decided, oh, we're gonna
act like this is normal.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
This is not normal. This is freakish.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
It is outside the laws of nature, It is perverse,
and it is wrong. But you know who she reminded
me of some of you who've been with the show
for a while. You remember the memorial in Tucson. Remember
they brought in Carlos Gonzalez before, I say, before we
played Carlos Gonzalez. How many of you remember Carlos Gonzalez
(24:40):
was but doctor Carlos Gonzaltz. Make sure you know that
was brought in to lead us in a prayer. If
you've been with us for a while, you already know
this one.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
Let's not forget our fellow creatures, those that stand, those
are blowing the wind, those that are tall and stately,
those that crawl on the earth, those that slither under
the earth, those that live under the earth. Let us
remember and bless the wiged ones, those that those that

their hearts, so that they too can heal, Yes, so
that they too can feel better.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
The flee the ant.
Speaker 10 (25:33):

We are all here in prayer.
Speaker 9 (25:41):
The leaf, the lizard, the booger, the flower, the dirt,
the tire and the tire iron, the window glass and
the window.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Windshield washer.

Wait are you telling me the Indians we're killing other
Indians and Mexicans.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Oh well, then that means.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
There's some oppressive Indians that owe you some money, but
they might be rounded up on a reservation.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
How will we now trust the feeling.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Got se Michael Berry, it's not your.
Speaker 10 (26:55):
God cherokey people.

way with dam Ukwe or in English speaks with a
clear and loud voiced woman. I'm a member of the
White Earth Nation and my family is the Wolf Clan,
(27:22):
and the role of our plan is to ensure that
we never leave anyone behind. That's why I am supporting
Kamala Harris and Tim Walls to be the next President
and Vice President of the United States.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
Let us not forget our fellow creatures, those that stand,
those that blow in the wind, those that are tall
and state me, those that crawl on the earth, those
that slither on the earth, those that live under the earth.
Let us remember and bless the wigged ones, those that
(28:00):
swim in the waters. The four Legates and also our brothers,
are two legates that walk.
Speaker 10 (28:07):
Throughout this world.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
When we all come together at this time, I made
the words that people here here sink in to their
hearts so that they too can heal, so that they
two can feel better.
Speaker 10 (28:22):

From time immemorial, our ancestors lived in the Great Lakes region. However,
in eighteen forty nine and illegal auction by the US
government forcibly removed our tribe from our homeland. Since then,
we have been working to reclaim it.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
But we're going to settle for a couple of casinos.
Speaker 11 (31:02):
The Department of the Interior placed some of our ancestral
lands west of Chicago into a trust.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Yeah, they put it in the trust. Get casinos wrong.
Speaker 11 (31:13):
Thanks thanks to the resolve of our tribal community and
the Biden Harris administration.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Oh yes, we reclaimed a piece of our home.
Speaker 11 (31:22):
We became the only federally recognized tribal nation in Illinois
in one hundred and seventy five years.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Oh yeah, you deserve it. It's yours blood.
Speaker 11 (31:32):
Together in our homelands. Let's have a joyful historic convention.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Blessings to you all. Migwitch.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
So imagine this. You're sitting at home. You just got
home at nine thirty. You got to get the kids
fed and in bed, and you hope they did their homework.
The school has canceled the bus service, but you're not
(32:01):
about to let your little nine year old daughter walk
to the school with all the perverts and awful human beings,
including all the illegal aliens and Democrats have let in
patrolling the streets in front of the school waiting for
a kid to be walking alone. You are exhausted, and
(32:24):
you say, maybe my government, here's my crist Is this
ever going to get any better. Here we are in
this little apartment.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
I'm working.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Everybody tells me I should quit and take welfare. But
I don't want my kids to see their mom on welfare.
That's not what I want from my children. I want
them to see, if nothing else, I want them to
see that mom might have struggled, but.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
She did it with dignity. She worked hard. Mom was
a good person. But you're tired, you're exhausted.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
No food ready, so you heat up some ramen noodles
or a frozen pizza and you sit down and say, well,
maybe the government's going to figure out a way to
make things better for me, because this is my struggle
and this is where I am in America today. Let's see,
let's see what this party wants to do to win
(33:21):
my vote. And you got some dude from the pot
of Watames telling you about his tribe wants some cash
because one hundred and seventy five years ago they killed
another tribe and they owned this land. And you're thinking
to yourself, this in America. This is the very first
(33:42):
thing they present as to who they are. The grocery
stores are price gouging. We're told at one point six
percent profit, but they take thirty percent of my income
in taxes, and you're
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Giving it to the pot of Watames.
It's that time time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
So Michael Arry Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Michael ol Sith pair is doing the best they can.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
Michael, why are you picking on them?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
They're doing the.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Best they can. You know, one thing you got to understand.
The way you get to the best results is not
everybody holds hand and holds hands against.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
The long.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
You've got to have a sharp clash of ideas. And
if you've never been exposed to that, you don't understand.
You watch on the sideline winning teams coaches and Belichick
and Brady used to go at it. Great coaches, great players,
great owners. When the Yankees were at their best, Steinbrenner
(01:12):
was stirring up.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
Everybody was on edge at all time.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Nick Saban doesn't walk along the sideline saying, boys, y'all
are doing a great He's in their face and sometimes
you can tell the fight is over. Coach, we winn
by forty points. I don't care you, mister Block. Nine
of the twenty highest salaries in the state last year
were in the Houston area, including the top two sci
(01:37):
Fair ISD Superintendent Mark Henry at five hundred and thirty
seven thousand dollars. Maybe Mark Henry should take a pay
cut instead of the parents not having school bus service
for their kids. Maybe that would be a better move, Scott,
(02:01):
he writes, sorry to disagree with you, but they have
an extremely conservative board now they flipped last year.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
The district was forced a force remark.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
To cut across the board, including teachers, counselors, transportation, which
CFISD has always exceeded the state minimum distance.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
Well there, Well you're the tallest madget. Be proud of that.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
Para professionals, substitute teachers, et cetera. All school districts are
dealing with this due to drunk Day not getting school
funding passed through the House. Also, CFISD is over eighty
million dollars budget shortfall this year. Okay, that is not
(02:47):
an argument in favor of the administration. That's an argument
against it. See if in my household we have a
budget shortfall and all of a sudden, children starve to death,
and you go your kids starve to death a budget shortfall.
Oh oh, well we didn't realize that.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
Okay, y, that's fine, But.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
You also went on vacation, Michael, Yeah, yeah, still went
on vacation. Yeah, because you don't weren't gonna cut back
on my vacation. I'm gonna starve my kids instead. This
is ridiculous some of some of the parents don't understand.
I know you've fallen in love. You always have to
put the doctor with doctor Mark Henry. It's a PhD
(03:33):
in education. Okay, you fart around long enough in school
and you'll get one. It's not that impressive. Door, Doctor
Henry is here of you? One all rise, Doctor Henry.
I see these school districts where they treat the superintendent
like they're the king of the world. That's nonsense. They
(03:58):
are public servants. You got a better education in the
one room schoolroom. You know why, because you didn't have
all the nonsense. You started hiring these people and worshiping them.
I've seen the school board members hiring lunch with doctor
Henry today.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Okay, well, doctor Henry.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
You know he's a leading authority on educational theory.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Doctor Henry. Oh wow, do.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
You hear yourselves? Do you hear yourselves? Anywhere in this
whole thing? Is your child a part of it? You
need teachers, you need students, You need a room, preferably
with air conditioning. Everything else is details. Want to have
(04:55):
a football program, fine, but you can't have forty sports
and fund them all.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Get the kiss to schooling back.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Realistically, that's an expectation, a reasonable one. But see these
superintendents then want three people to delegate to.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Oh that's brilliant.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
They want to hand everything off to the to the
people below them. Well, the people below them, Oh, I
want to be the head superintendent in charge.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
Oh it's doctor Douglas Killian. Well how much is he making.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
So then the assistant superintendents hire their people, and then
they hire a chief of this and a director of that.
And by the time you get down to the teachers
the front line, because I can guarantee your kid doesn't
(05:57):
know who the assistant to the superintendents assistant director of
superintendality is. It's the teacher and the kid. There's the education,
there's where the roaver meets the boom. Next question, by
the way, I'm told, is that Jeff on the black line,
(06:17):
white Jeff.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
We got white jeffs.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
We've gone old school for a while there we only
had black Jeffs. Jeff, you're out in front of the building.
That's the eighty million dollar building that's backed up the
Barry Center.
Speaker 4 (06:31):
No, I'm not Hey, by the way, I'm transitioning to
be black, so I can't get on.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
The black line. Later.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
I saw a zoom call last week. It was a
zoom call for what did they call themselves? It was
an obese lesbian zoom call. And so a skinny white
guy gets on there and he looks like a gaming kid,
looks about twenty years old, and they're all looking at him,
and they're trying to be inclusive and tolerant.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
But excuse me, are you supposed to be yes, what
are you doing.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
I'm a fat I'm an obese lesbian. You don't look
they said, but you look able bodied. He said, I
identify as obese and I am a lesbian. And it
took him about five minutes till they finally dropped him
off the call.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
But he was dead serious. He stayed in character.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
He was an he identified as an obese lesbian, and
why were they doing this to him?
Speaker 2 (07:26):
It was brilliant anyway. So you're out in front of
the building, Yeah I'm not.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
But the report you played at the last hour about
the people waiting forty five minutes in line at the
corner of Cyprus, North Houston and Telby, that is literally
one minute away from the Sci Fair Performing Art Center,
the multimillion dollars Cipher Performing Art Center.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
That we now have.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
You know, my thought on all of that is this,
if you look at the model of a private school,
everything the private school wants to do above the level
of education, they go get donors. Far I don't have
a problem with that. Go get people who voluntarily wish
(08:16):
to buy in to your program. Put their name on
the building, Sell every seat at the theater, sell the carpet, sell.
Speaker 5 (08:27):
The you name it.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I was working in DC at a law firm and
I had to do some legal research. And this was
we didn't have access to.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Shepherdized, which means look at the history of a case
at our law firm, if you can believe this in
nineteen ninety five. So I went to Catholic University Law School,
Beautiful and I would work there every evening. Because ansing resources,
we didn't every seat. They had a phone book where
you could call. It was like the Jack Mercer phone booths.
That's how they raised the money to do a little bit.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
The law school. No debt bulletin boards out there. You
know a woman named Laurie gr nand I think she's
an emailer for us.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
You want another reason the school districts are low on cash,
Foolish spending is one reason. Another is that more parents
are homeschooling because more parents are tired of the garbage in,
garbage out they're teaching in schools. I support parents doing this.
Why are test scores getting lower and lower when the
spending is increasing. Look at the district policies in the
(09:24):
classroom in some cases in parents and other cases. Also
numerous reports on hospitals saying they're out of money to
treat to treat patients in the er who have no insurance.
Why illegals coming over handouts? Same with the public school system.
Check reports on how much schools are having to spend
on educating, feeding, and after school care for illegal aliens.
(09:46):
Also check the increase in low income housing developments in
your area. Department of Housing and Urban Development have been
moving these out to the suburbs for over twenty years.
It's so true, She's so right, Valerie Rights. Sci fi
ISD ran themselves into this budget crisis. This started years
ago with their bonds that we probably all voted for
(10:07):
at the time. Easy to point fingers, but it starts
with CFISD one hundred and thirty eight million dollars shortfall
is a joke. Why do you think doctor Henry up
and left midyear? He knew this mess was coming. Check
the link above and gather your info. Gather ye rosebuds
while ye may ramon because a budget crisis is a coming. Ooh,
(10:31):
these parents are hot, man, They are mad about this.
All I keep hearing about is this administration building. Apparently
they built the taj Mahal of administration buildings. It is
a doozy, A doozy, I tell you it's something else.

a day, after school programs conferences because every administrator has
to go to the conference for their particular assistant director
of procurement. Yeah, sorry, parents, we don't have a bus
(17:37):
for you. Just send your child through the Houston traffic
to the school. But once they get here, four buildings

a lot of money with big titles, who your child
will never meet or benefit from.

Don't email me.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
I dug into the City of Houston budget. I've dug
into these school district budgets. I've seen the bloat. If
you're dumb enough to say, well, they're doing best they can.

Speaker 8 (22:09):
My name, my name in the Ojibway language is eazy
way without uthway or in English speaks with a clear

eji way Kenobi. And she was like, my name Ischiwa Konobe.
I'm not a white girl. Now bar girls.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
I can't be a Zeta anymore. I'm now ig way Kenobi.
What the hell, Peggy, Yeah, I'm egi wa Kanobe. My
people come from the clay. Well, what is what is

Speaker 2 (23:02):
Peggy, girl.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
You so crazy?
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Peggy Flannagan eedy welcome. You know it's comical, it really is.
If we could get people to understand these are they
call jd Vance weird. This is who you're dealing with.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
This is what Peggy Flannagan couldn't be Peggy Flannagan because
she spends her whole day lecturing everybody about indigenous people
and blacks and Hispanics and retards and cripples and cyclopses.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
And men that want to be women that love women
that want to be.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
Men who've had an abortion and now they're a man
who's had an abortion and wants to protect abortion and sleep.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
But it's a lot, it's a lot to prove. I
can't keep up with it and not going to bring
back shame. We've just got to you know, these.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
People always existed, the person that wanted a lot of attention,
the person that got really really into you know, defending
this or protecting that, or being the spokesman for this
over there. But in the past nobody paid attention to them,
and their family members were ashamed of them.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
So they went off to Berkeley. They just all lived
in Berkeley.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
But somehow along the way people decided, oh, we're gonna
act like this is normal.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
This is not normal. This is freakish.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
It is outside the laws of nature, It is perverse,
and it is wrong. But you know who she reminded
me of some of you who've been with the show
for a while. You remember the memorial in Tucson. Remember
they brought in Carlos Gonzalez before, I say, before we
played Carlos Gonzalez. How many of you remember Carlos Gonzalez
(24:40):
was but doctor Carlos Gonzaltz. Make sure you know that
was brought in to lead us in a prayer. If
you've been with us for a while, you already know
this one.
Speaker 5 (24:48):
Let's not forget our fellow creatures, those that stand, those
are blowing the wind, those that are tall and stately,
those that crawl on the earth, those that slither under
the earth, those that live under the earth. Let us
remember and bless the wiged ones, those that those that
(25:08):
swim in the water. The four leggos, and also our brothers,
are two leggeds, the two legs, the walk throughout this world.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
When we all come together, all of us, salamander, at
this time, snakes.
Speaker 5 (25:20):
I made the words, go here here, sink in to
their hearts, so that they too can heal, Yes, so
that they too can feel better.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
The flee the ant.
Speaker 10 (25:33):
A.
Speaker 2 (25:34):
This sound like the lineup of the red hot chili peppers.
We are all here in prayer.
Speaker 9 (25:41):
The leaf, the lizard, the booger, the flower, the dirt,
the tire and the tire iron, the window glass and
the window.
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Windshield washer.
Speaker 10 (26:01):
Let us not forget a foul the preacher.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
On mother's side, I am Mexican, the child of descendants
of this valley pioneer family.
Speaker 10 (26:14):
Is this the prayer from Mexico? It came into eighteen hundred,
Oh you said it off my father's side.
Speaker 5 (26:19):
I'm YACKI refugees from Mexico.
Speaker 10 (26:24):
From escaped the genocide.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
If you say, if you say, wait, the genocide of
been here.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Wait are you telling me the Indians we're killing other
Indians and Mexicans.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Oh well, then that means.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
There's some oppressive Indians that owe you some money, but
they might be rounded up on a reservation.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
How will we now trust the feeling.
Speaker 3 (26:50):
Got se Michael Berry, it's not your.
Speaker 10 (26:55):
God cherokey people.
Speaker 8 (27:02):
My name, my name in the Ojibwe language is easy
way with dam Ukwe or in English speaks with a
clear and loud voiced woman. I'm a member of the
White Earth Nation and my family is the Wolf Clan,
(27:22):
and the role of our plan is to ensure that
we never leave anyone behind. That's why I am supporting
Kamala Harris and Tim Walls to be the next President
and Vice President of the United States.
Speaker 5 (27:40):
Let us not forget our fellow creatures, those that stand,
those that blow in the wind, those that are tall
and state me, those that crawl on the earth, those
that slither on the earth, those that live under the earth.
Let us remember and bless the wigged ones, those that
(28:00):
swim in the waters. The four Legates and also our brothers,
are two legates that walk.
Speaker 10 (28:07):
Throughout this world.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
When we all come together at this time, I made
the words that people here here sink in to their
hearts so that they too can heal, so that they
two can feel better.
Speaker 10 (28:22):
Is my story.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
So many of you don't want to run.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
Fuck people away here from Orda Mansua.
Speaker 10 (28:32):
After Carlosadras.
Speaker 5 (28:34):
On my mother's side, I am Mexican, the child of
descendants of this valley pioneer family from Mexico.
Speaker 10 (28:45):
It came in the eighteen hundred. On my father's side, I'm.
Speaker 5 (28:48):
Yaqui refugees from Mexico that escaped to genocide and the
Rio Yaki in the eighteen hundred. We have been here
sick for myself, I am fifth generation in the valleys
of Tustan.
Speaker 2 (29:07):
You won't know how dangerous these people are. This is
real funny until it's not.
Speaker 1 (29:15):
The first page of the Democrat National Convention, their platform.
This is what we stand for, the very first page,
not an addendum, not buried somewhere.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
The first thing on there.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
They began their convention with a quote land acknowledgment.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
Do you know what the land acknowledgment was? That they're
holding this convention on stolen land.
Speaker 4 (29:45):
Please welcome Prairie Band Podawa, Tommy Nation Tribal Council Vice
Chair Zach Palmami and Secretary Lori Melchior.
Speaker 11 (29:55):
Here we are together on our ancestral homelands of the
Prairie Band Pada Nation and our sister potawatominations. We also
honor the spirit of the other tribal nations who traveled
westward through this beautiful area. Welcome twenty twenty four Democratic
National Convention to our homelands.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
Oh yeah, yeah, thank you for letting us.
Speaker 2 (30:20):
The paw Plan.
Speaker 11 (30:22):
Has and always will carry enormous importance to its original stewards,
our ancestors, and our present day communities. I am Vice
Chairman of the Praie Band Potawat Domination, joined by Secretary
of Laurie melk Here.
Speaker 2 (30:35):
He's a big chief, hey lad, Lurie milk here looks.
Speaker 11 (30:40):
And our nation's Tribal Council, who are also with.
Speaker 2 (30:43):
Us in the audience.
Speaker 11 (30:45):
From time immemorial, our ancestors lived in the Great Lakes region. However,
in eighteen forty nine and illegal auction by the US
government forcibly removed our tribe from our homeland. Since then,
we have been working to reclaim it.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
But we're going to settle for a couple of casinos.
Speaker 11 (31:02):
The Department of the Interior placed some of our ancestral
lands west of Chicago into a trust.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
Yeah, they put it in the trust. Get casinos wrong.
Speaker 11 (31:13):
Thanks thanks to the resolve of our tribal community and
the Biden Harris administration.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Oh yes, we reclaimed a piece of our home.
Speaker 11 (31:22):
We became the only federally recognized tribal nation in Illinois
in one hundred and seventy five years.
Speaker 2 (31:28):
Oh yeah, you deserve it. It's yours blood.
Speaker 11 (31:32):
Together in our homelands. Let's have a joyful historic convention.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Blessings to you all. Migwitch.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
So imagine this. You're sitting at home. You just got
home at nine thirty. You got to get the kids
fed and in bed, and you hope they did their homework.
The school has canceled the bus service, but you're not
(32:01):
about to let your little nine year old daughter walk
to the school with all the perverts and awful human beings,
including all the illegal aliens and Democrats have let in
patrolling the streets in front of the school waiting for
a kid to be walking alone. You are exhausted, and
(32:24):
you say, maybe my government, here's my crist Is this
ever going to get any better. Here we are in
this little apartment.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
I'm working.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
Everybody tells me I should quit and take welfare. But
I don't want my kids to see their mom on welfare.
That's not what I want from my children. I want
them to see, if nothing else, I want them to
see that mom might have struggled, but.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
She did it with dignity. She worked hard. Mom was
a good person. But you're tired, you're exhausted.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
No food ready, so you heat up some ramen noodles
or a frozen pizza and you sit down and say, well,
maybe the government's going to figure out a way to
make things better for me, because this is my struggle
and this is where I am in America today. Let's see,
let's see what this party wants to do to win
(33:21):
my vote. And you got some dude from the pot
of Watames telling you about his tribe wants some cash
because one hundred and seventy five years ago they killed
another tribe and they owned this land. And you're thinking
to yourself, this in America. This is the very first
(33:42):
thing they present as to who they are. The grocery
stores are price gouging. We're told at one point six
percent profit, but they take thirty percent of my income
in taxes, and you're
Speaker 2 (33:56):
Giving it to the pot of Watames.
