Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
So Michael Very Show is on the air. There is

(00:35):
good news and there is bad news. The good news
is the Kamala Harris campaign is falling apart, exactly what
you would expect. The bad news is Kamala Harris doesn't
run the campaign or lead the Democrat Party. There are

(00:55):
powerful people behind the scenes who are calling the shots,
and those people know the campaign is falling apart, and
when that happens, they do things that are desperate. There
was an attempt the cultural phenomenon that is Kamala Harris.

(01:20):
She was going to be the first woman president, the
first of her type. She was a happy warrior. There
was joy in the land. She alone was going to
bring joy to the people because she is joyous. So
the misery you were suffering was going to be alleviated

(01:43):
and replaced with joy, a new way forward, as their
presidential campaign airplane says on the side that was unveiled
this week. She was going to be the one, and
she had her an everyman. He was a coach, he

(02:03):
was a warrior, a combat warrior that too, a governor,
a farmer from the Midwest.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
He was whoo many this was the ticket.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
This was a dream ticket, and they tried it and
for a week the media went ahead with it, but
she couldn't do an interview. Their convention fell apart. They've
been revealed for who they are, and now independent voters
have come to the conclusion she's the problem, not the solution.

(02:37):
So that means they resort to the despert They will
now turn back and begin a vicious attack on Donald Trump.
What are they capable of? Well, they got him removed
from the ballot in several states. Supreme Court had to
overrule that they raided his home mar A Lago in

(02:59):
Florida while bringing a criminal case against him there.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
They brought a case against.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
Him in Atlanta, Fulton County. You remember Fat Fanny Willis
and her hot dog, Nathan Wade. Then you had Jack
Smith bringing a case in Washington, d c. They've brought
that back by the way they're refiling. You've got the

(03:26):
Letitia James Attorney General in New York case where they
tried to bankrupt him, demanding that he put over four
hundred million dollars up for a bond cash mind you,
or they would start taking his properties. And then of
course she had Fat alvim Bragg, and he had the

(03:47):
most success because they had a judge ready to do
their bidding. The judge's daughter getting paid a lot of
money by the Democrats. She's a consultant. And they actually
convicted him of a felaon. They convicted him of a
he is a felon. Today everyone knows it'll be overturned.
This is how bad it was. Then from there they

(04:08):
couldn't remove him from the ballot. They tried him criminally.
Then they decided to just kill him, just shoot, shoot
and kill him. And they did shoot.

Speaker 3 (04:17):
Him, shot him in the head.

Speaker 2 (04:21):
And yet here we are Trump more popular than he's
been the entire campaign, and Kamala Harris just not likable.
Record speaks for herself. She either hasn't done anything or
what she has done is awful. And Tim Walls was
not the answer, and they're struggling. In fact, there are

(04:45):
several states now in play where the Democrats are having
to visit that never should have been in play before.

Speaker 3 (04:54):
This is like in the.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
Battle where you're having to go back and protect territory
that you had already taken.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
This was not what they had been planning on.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
States like New Hampshire and Virginia that they were believed
to be pretty strong. In New York Times headlines over
the last week, Trump can win on character.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
Wow, New York Times, Harris.

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Is weak and a phony and doesn't truly care about
the country. Not headlines, these were opeds. More dismaying was
her seeming ignorance. This is appearing on the pages of
the New York Times. It is not good for the Democrats.
But brace yourself, because we're going to have to have

(05:45):
a race war between now and November. They're going to
have to have George Floyd on steroids. It's going to happen.
Count on it, because they've got to have a way
for blacks to be angry and motivated. And unfortunately that
has worked in the past, and I hope it won't

(06:08):
this time. But hope's not a strategy. They're also going
to have to have a war. There's no way they can't.
You have six hostages, one of them an American citizen
murdered by Hamas after Joe Biden said I will bring

(06:33):
him home. You half my word.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
It's not good. It's not good.

Speaker 2 (06:39):
One person referred to Joe Biden, who's been now's going on.

Speaker 3 (06:44):
Twenty days on vacation.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
He was laid out at the beach Rehoboth Beach in
Delaware over the weekend and they kept showing video of it,
and someone said, this is the longest open casket viewing
I think I've ever seen. He is still the president.
She will have to be the president between now and November.
They have to have that week, if not two of

(07:09):
positive stories.

Speaker 3 (07:10):
What's it liked?

Speaker 2 (07:11):
Because she can't do an interview, Kamala Harris is now
not taking questions from the media, and to avoid the
look that she's ignoring the questions, she now gets out
of her vehicle and puts headsets into her ear and

(07:34):
does a wave without even looking. She goes on to
Air Force one. She gets to the very top, she
turns back and waves. They bark out questions. She pretends
not to hear them. That's not good. That's not good
at all. Tim Walls was at the Minnesota State Pharaoh

(07:55):
of the weekend, first time he's been back since named
the VP running mate. He held some ice cream because
that's what you do, that's a Democrat standard.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
He held some ice cream. They asked a question about
the ice cream. Oh, that's great.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
They asked another question about the state fairs, just the best,
his best state fair?

Speaker 3 (08:13):
Ever?

Speaker 2 (08:13):
Is it different in the past? How great is this
state fair? He answered that one. They said, what about
the six hostages that were killed? He crinkled up his
face in distinct face. He said, turn and walked off,
because why would he answer that question. You don't deserve
an answer to that. Mattress Mac was hospitalized over the weekend.

(08:37):
Many of you probably know that with what we're described
as cognitive issues and we have a new Harris County
scandal in the health department bid rigging twenty million dollars.

Speaker 3 (08:50):
We'll talk to Mattress Mac and get his status update.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
Formal aware, we have all your formal ware needs, from
morning suits to coordinating accessories. Very few people are beloved
any long used to. You could have heroes, titans and
pillars of the community, but it feels like that is

(09:15):
gone for a number of reasons.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
This is too bad.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
But Mac qualifies as beloved. The entire community concerned over
the last few days as he was hospitalized, but I
think I think he's on the mind. Mattress Mac is
our guest.

Speaker 3 (09:34):

(18:58):
well this Time Harris County Public Health Director Barbie. Robinson

Twenty she was brought here to be the health. Director
now she's been. Fired she. Says she resigned over allegations

(19:23):
of steering a contract to a for profit firm that
she has ties. To this is the same department that
awarded an eleven million DOLLAR covid outreach contract to A democrat,
operative which resulted in the indictment of three Of lena's top.

(19:44):
Staffers fox twenty six is. Tomorrow bell says That Harris
County Purchasing Director Dwight dopslough even resigned from the county
over the, contract saying he didn't want to go to.

Speaker 6 (19:55):
Jail one, Thing i'm not surprised that it, occurred because,
journally it's never the person who does.

Speaker 4 (20:00):
The order that gets.

Speaker 6 (20:01):
Fired is the person who does what was ordered to
do that gets. Fired in addition to, that, well that's
firing occurred the purchasing, Director dwight.

Quit and room on the street is that he tells
the people that he quit because he.

Speaker 3 (20:17):
Wasn't going to jail for.

Speaker 6 (20:18):
Nobody so when you have the purchasing that whos been
there a long time and is very well respected for
being able to do their job quitting and then you
have this, fired it.

Speaker 3 (20:28):
Does cause some serious.

Speaker 6 (20:30):
Concern so you all need to really really look at
this and push back at another eight percent to go
down the toilet that we don't know what happens to.

Speaker 2 (20:37):
It how did A california company land a six million
dollar contract With Harris. County, well there's an email trail
where they say they're going to hire her to be
a consultant for them In california while she's The Harris

(21:03):
County Health, director.

Speaker 3 (21:07):
And they asked, her what would you like to get?

Speaker 2 (21:10):
Paid have you ever walked into a job where somebody
said how much would you like to get?

Speaker 3 (21:19):
Paid, no because this is not a job.

Speaker 2 (21:23):
Interview this was one month before they were getting a
big contract that she was going to sign off on
In Harris. County one month before. That the exchanges went
all the way up until a few days before. That
because it wasn't a job offer or a consulting, engagement

(21:43):
it was a. BRIBE abc thirteen.

Speaker 4 (21:47):
The former chair for this organization still wonders how it
lost To Harris county contract to take nine to one
one calls to how people having mental health, issues a
question The Houston chronicle has looked into as. Well our
partners recently see emails possibly shedding light it. Started they
say THE covid nineteen testing. Site they're trying to.

Speaker 5 (22:06):
Find a replacement on a pretty quick, basis and they
couldn't find anyone locally to do, it according To, robinson
so she, said, WELL i know this company that took
a very similar situation In.

Speaker 3 (22:17):
California let me see if they can do.

Speaker 4 (22:18):
It Barbie robinson was hired As Harris County Public House
director In may of twenty twenty. ONE a month, Later,
dema a consultant based in the county In california Where
robinson came, from got THE covid testing. CONTRACT a few months,
later emails The chronicle received Showed dema Offered robinson a.
JOB a month, Later dema applied for A county nine

(22:38):
one one. Contract weeks, later an email showed A dema
employee acting confidently as if it was awarded the. Contract
it wasn't Until january when commissioners approved the six million dollar.
CONTRACT abc thirteen reached out To, robinson we were told
she wasn't. Available she did respond to The chronicles question
about the job offer.

Speaker 5 (22:59):
Email Director robinson says that she did not see that
email at the. Time she only learned of it this
year when we requested the.

Speaker 4 (23:04):
Emails teama beat The Harris center for the nine one one.
Contract the former chair TOTALLY abc. Thirteen this was despite
them putting in the lower. Bid it was odd that
a for profit agency was awarded the contract over a
county agency they. Controlled we were all stunned when the
email came out that the contract had been, awarded even
though it. Hadn't it was our first clue something was going. On,

(23:27):
now county leaders, say not only are they looking into
the contract, process yesterday they voted to withhold payment to
DEMON q two item does not.

Speaker 3 (23:35):
Pass County Commissioner Tom, Ramsey i'll.

Speaker 7 (23:41):
Be calling for an audit of everything within The Health
department as we evaluate what issues are. There we had
to give an accounting to the federal government on THE
arka fund. Spent there's been more than a billion dollars
SPENT arpa related.

Speaker 3 (24:02):
Dollars spent by The.

Speaker 7 (24:03):
COUNTY a large amount of that has come into the health.

Speaker 3 (24:06):
APARTMENT i want to be as clear AS i possibly.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
Can city Of houston government Under Sylvester turner and The
Harris county government Under Rodney. Ellis rodney runs. Things lena's
just a, puppet just Like Kamala. Harris in the case
Of Harris, county you can see who's, running It's. Rodney
with The United states, government you can't see it so.

(24:33):
Clearly they find big pockets of money federal, Grants they
hire their friends to do the, project their friends get,
rich they.

Speaker 3 (24:48):
Kick it back to, them and.

Speaker 2 (24:50):
Oh by the, way you get, screwed because that's why
county services are just.

Speaker 3 (24:55):
Crap all these people care about is stealing.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
Money case after case after case After oh hold, on
could YOU i get some?

Speaker 3 (25:06):
Music the trash can is then picked up and dumped
in just one.

Speaker 2 (25:20):
Block the more announced he'd like to run a block
on the on the trash.

Speaker 3 (25:29):
Can is That Toby keith?

Speaker 2 (25:30):
Reference or do you mean you would like to run
the truck for one? Block and just like, that there they,
Go and just like, that there they, go trash all
over the, streets all over the, city. Everywhere they can't get,

(25:55):
it because here's what's. Happened Whip myers told multiple people
since he got down there that things are much worse
than he. Expected it's hard to imagine how bad things
are at The city Of houston and At Harris.

Speaker 3 (26:10):
County but let me help.

Speaker 2 (26:12):
You you've got elected officials who are sitting around all
day every day, scheming how can we get a big
chunk of money that we can steer to somebody we.
Control that, way they kick it back to. Us so

(26:35):
you get these chunks of, MONEY covid, outreach public, health affordable.
Housing then you've got to bring together the people that
you trust because this is. Criminal this is very criminal
what you're looking at. Here so then you've got to figure, out,
well how do we give the bid that it's required

(26:57):
that you have AN rfp process is request for proposals
and government contracting has to Follow there's a certain, standard
a certain protocol of laws that are required to be.

Speaker 3 (27:09):
Followed so the request for proposals has a deadline and they, submit.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
And then based on that you choose, negotiate and then
you put it before your, council city council Or Harris.

Speaker 3 (27:25):
County well At Harris County it's a lot.

Speaker 2 (27:29):
Easier to get away with this now because The democrats
control four out of the five. Seats all they have
left Is, ramsey and If ramsey it's like The Scooby.
Doo if it wasn't For ramsey pointing out all the, irregularities.

Speaker 3 (27:44):
They'd be able to get away with.

Speaker 2 (27:45):
Everything but in this environment Under Sylvester, turner who will
now Be Sheila Jackson lee's, replacement how very. Appropriate under
this little, deal what you've got is they've got to
circumvent the process where they score these. Vendors so in this,

(28:05):
case you've got the public health director who is they're
having these meetings and you have to stack the committee
with your. Staff that's Why Lena hidalgo's top staffers were
on the. Committee we saw this in The city Of,
houston Where Sylvester turner would stack the committee with his.

(28:26):
People but the problem is there are a few bureaucrats
who've been there before this mayor and Before rodney ellis
the few that are left and they notice what's going.
On it's rather obvious if you remember THE covid contract
that's Got Lena hudalgo's top three people under.

Speaker 3 (28:45):
Indictment.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
Today it was A Ut Health Science, center another, one another,
one and then this one woman working out of an
apartment In. Montrose and So lena's people had to say
that THE Ut Health Science, center they had to give
them a terrible score in order to make up for
the good score of people who were objective on the.

(29:08):
Committee because this is what THE Ut Health Science center,
does it would be pretty obvious that this is what

of the. Deal so it's like it became like a

mafia run. Organization but in this, case the lead contractor
on this particular project was somebody who'd Given Lee brown
a lot of money and actually a really nice guy
by the, way but had no business doing. This they
