Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load. So
Michael darry Show is.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
On the air.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
If I had a hammer, I had.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
A hammer in the mall, I had a hammer any.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
All over this line.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
I had a hammer und danger, I have a rout
a warning.
Speaker 5 (00:41):
I'd have run luck.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Between my brother's emphasisters.
Speaker 6 (00:45):
All over this bad boo.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
If I had a bed, I hadn't ring it in
the mall, moarning, I hadn't ring.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
It any line, pottering up, pottering. These are going to
continue and they're only going to get worse. A hammer
wielding illegal alien arrested for threatening to kill his boss
while working as part of a yard crew in Friendswood.
(01:20):
He was arrested after nearly a one hour standoff. He
had open warrants out of two counties, plus an ice hold. Hmm.
The story from ABC thirteen.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
He was frantically knocking on my front door, April Hunley's
longtime landscaper, clearly in distress when she opens the door
at her home on North Mission Circle Friday afternoon.
Speaker 7 (01:47):
He was afraid and he said, April, you help me.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
She says. The day laborer he'd hired to help cut
her lawn was waving around a hammer and threatening him.
Police identify that man as Kevin Pon said.
Speaker 7 (02:00):
He said, I want my money now, and I'm gonna
kill you. I'm gonna kill you right.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
She says he appeared ready to make good od all
because of an apparent dispute over payment.
Speaker 7 (02:10):
He wanted full payment for a full day right then,
and he didn't want to work out the rest of
to day.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
Hunley says, the landscaper takes cover behind her while she
tries talking down the hammer wielding man.
Speaker 7 (02:22):
I said, put down the hammer and I'm calling the police,
and I said, Pelicia that much.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
He seems to understand, because Hunley says, he abandons the
hammer and instead grabs a leaf flower from his boss's
truck and runs down LaSalle with the blower slung over
his back.
Speaker 7 (02:40):
I'm thinking that he was taking it in payment.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
When he rounds the corner onto another part of North
Mischiard Circle, neighbors say he drops the leaf flower and
jumps this backyard fence, taking part of it out in
the process. From there, it's across the drainage dish to
the San Joaquina States neighborhood, where police eventually catch up
with him found.
Speaker 7 (03:00):
Him hiding in a drainage ditch that goes underneath to
drive away.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
Every police arrest him and charge him with aggravated assault.
He's also facing a separate charge since police say he
refused to identify himself. That maybe because police say he
has open warrants in Harrison Dallas Counties. I says also
put a hold on him.
Speaker 7 (03:21):
And I was wondering if that man was going to
try and charge me with that hammer, and I would
be ready for him.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
It's only going to continue. They're not huh, what you did? What? Oh,
you were just cleaning it. Well, here we are more
soaking the taxpayers. These people in public office, school districts, county,
(03:52):
city government, they're gonna piss people off enough and they're
gonna end up with a revolution, a real revolution. They
have got to stop. They are so tone deaf, These
bastards just more money, more money, more money. Willis ISD
(04:14):
asking voters for sixty eight point eight million dollars to
build a new football stadium. Well, at least voters will
get to vote. I mean, I guess that's better than
some of the rest of this stuff where they just
why doesn't willis ISD just say, well, we think this
(04:36):
fits within the loophole because there was just a natural
disaster and we really need a new football stadium. It
will be one of the most expensive high school football
stadiums in Texas. Sixty nine million dollars to build a
(04:59):
new football st what are there ten games a year,
five at home? Seventy practically seventy million dollars because there
(05:19):
will be a cost overrun, it will end up being
over seventy million dollars by the time it's done for
something that's going to be used a handful of times
a year. That's insane. This is crazy. How does anybody
(05:40):
think this is a good idea? Nobody loves high school
football more than I do. And I can enjoy high
school football on those same old horrible aluminum, hard on
your backing butt seats in the same old grass field
(06:06):
that one of the assistant coaches are some retarded dude
that just kind of has a maintenance, you know whatever.
Around the school. There's always some guy that's somebody's nephew.
We had that at Orangefield, and everybody loves them. They're
retarded and everybody loves them. And they got keys jangling,
you know, out of their jeans. Keys to everything, and
(06:28):
you you know, when something goes wrong, you call in
Carl because he's good with the small engine repair and
you get him some in French Fried ptators. That guy
cuts the lawn. He goes out there and marks off
the yard lines. Does he snap them all straight? No
he doesn't. Does he sometimes misspell the name of the
(06:50):
team when he spray paints it in the end zone?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Yes, it's not all good. Yeah, sometimes there's deflate gate,
but not on purpose because he forgets how much air
to put in the balls. Sure, but you don't need
seventy million dollars. And you know what, by the way,
(07:15):
a twenty seven million dollar student activity center with an
indoor field, with a baseball area, wrestling space, media center.
How about this? How about the taxpayers are already paying enough.
(07:36):
And if you want all this crap, oh also a
nineteen point six million dollar aquatic center. So you're asking
people for seventy make that ninety, make that one hundred
and thirty million dollars, one hundred and fifteen point four
million dollars, one hundred and fifteen million dollar bond package.
(07:57):
How about that. Let's start with the football field, all right,
you want a new football field for the parents. And
in a small town. You know, my parents still went
to high school football games up until a few years ago.
Now part of that was I had a niece that
(08:18):
was cheerleading for Orange Field High School. But in Orange
you still go to the local football games on Friday night. Fine,
how about this. How about instead of charging people on
their taxes, many of whom don't come to the games
and don't want a football field or a football team,
(08:39):
how about you charge admission you want to enjoy the
football field, pay as you go, instead of charging people
because they're in the minority that vote against this, for
a football field that they don't even want and certainly
don't need. The Michael Perry Show.
Speaker 7 (08:57):
Because Russia cannot hack a piece of paper, we listened to.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
That story again during the break and I must have
missed the the woman telling him that she was calling
the police, but Ramon caught it. This is the illegal alien, Uh,
day laborer who's pulled a hammer on his boss and
(09:25):
wants to get paid for the day. And uh, I think,
if you're his boss, you go ahead and pay him, right.
But maybe he didn't have any cash on him. I mean,
there's something you could give him that he could go pawn.
If he pulls a hammer on you, and he's a
day laborer and he's an illegal alien, you got to
(09:49):
figure he's probably committed a few murders in Venezuela, right
and if he is the one that's committed multiple murders
in Venezuela, because there's a lot of them, you don't
want to find that out by being beaten to death.
I mean, nobody wants to be killed, but you know,
a headshot be a whole lot better being beaten to
(10:09):
death with a hammer. You're not gonna die right off.
You're gonna lay there in pain and realize, I'm gonna
die from being hammered to death. This is not This
is not how I had it planned out. I thought
maybe I'd be walking in front of one of the
lawnmowers and you know, a limb would be in there
and he'd shoot up and hit, you know, lodge into
(10:31):
my head or something. But you did not plan on
getting hammered to death by some dude you picked up
in the home Depot parking lot this morning. I knew
that was a mad one, that one. He had that
eye in him, you know, he had he had that
eye he's looking at it. I knew he was troubled
from the start anyway, So the homeowner said, she went
(10:52):
Spanish on him.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
Listen, is this the hammer wielding man said, put down.
Speaker 7 (10:57):
The hammer and I'm calling the cool And I said, Pelicia.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
That much he seems to understand.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
I went Spanish on him. Did you say policia? No, Pelicia?
Speaker 7 (11:10):
Oh police, Felicia?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Okay, all right, say that again, because she told him.
She was like, Felicia, hey, put down the hammer. Hammer,
see hammer you got? Put hammer down. I see my eyeball.
I call ring ring, ring, ring, policia. I called woo
(11:33):
woo woo, gun jail, lock up, you bad. Played again, Felicia.
I want to hear what she said.
Speaker 7 (11:44):
I said, put down the hammer and I'm calling the police.
And I said, Pelicia that much.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
That much he understood. I guess he didn't have a
way to get away home. I don't know if I
maybe I like to know the decison. I like to
see the decision tree that got him to that point.
You know, wait, are you getting in an argument over
did he have the blade setting wrong?
Speaker 3 (12:15):
You know?
Speaker 1 (12:16):
And you're like, nah, I like, I like that to
be a little higher so I can come back in
a week and go, Hey, time to cut again in grassy?
Grassy growing, isn't it? Boy? Growing fast? So much rain
and everything? Your grass is high? Miss Smith? Should we
go ahead and instead of waiting two weeks, go ahead
and hit this one again this week? All this rain,
it's growing fast. See if you get it down there low,
(12:38):
won't pull gatto? Man, we want two weeks before we
can come. You want leave it up high?
Speaker 8 (12:45):
We all? O?
Speaker 1 (12:49):
What? Yeah? Do? The worst Mexican accent of anybody I've
ever known. And it's really embarrassing because if your parents,
I know your parents would be embarrassed if anyone ever
(13:12):
heard how bad. The only thing worse than your Spanish
is your impersonation of a Mexican. It's the worst I've heard.
It's so bad that it's hilarious. But what were they
arguing over?
Speaker 9 (13:30):
Right?
Speaker 1 (13:31):
What is there to argue over? Just cut the grass?
And at what point did this day and this week
is not even that hot like I could see if
it's real hot. You're like that son of a bitch
if he comes over here and has a single question
(13:53):
this The blade on this mower is crooked this thing.
I'm out here. I can't breathe. I got polling in
my eyes. I got grass cuttings.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
All over my arm.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I'm tired and I'm hungover. I'm tired and I am
hung over. I didn't get any minudo this morning. I'm
pissed off. The taxi dancing club was closed last night.
(14:31):
And if he comes over here and says one word,
why did they even have a hammer. There's a lawn crew.
He was prepared. He was prepared, premeditated. Yep, you come
over here. Good to know they're doing the jobs we
(14:51):
Americans won't do, taking out a hammer and bashing. His
name was Kevin Ponset. Hunley said. The laborer dropped the
hammer and instead grabbed a leaf blower from his boss's truck.
Neighbors saw him running down LaSalle with the blower slung
(15:13):
over his back. You think it was his leaf blower?
Or do you think because maybe he's figuring, I gotta
get some money today. And if I go knocking on
the door with a hammer in my hands, say hey,
excuse me, sir, do you have anything needs to be hammering?
Do you have anything in want of hammering? But if
(15:36):
you got a leaf blower, you get kind of rakeed.
You'll kind of push the leaves all up on everything,
and you are having bad mess. I blow, I gotta blow.
I blow it. Uh yeah, sure, but aren't you The
guy that had the hammer down at Miss Smith's house
was swinging it and wielding it and all that when
(15:59):
they called the police. Uh yeah, but I have blown.
I blow, you know, I blow. After let's see. So
neighbors saw him running down LaSalle with the blower slung
over his back. I gotta go back, Hundley said. The
laborer dropped the hammer and instead grabbed a leaf blower
(16:20):
from his boss's truck. Neighbors saw him running down LaSalle
with the blower slung over his back. When he rounded
the corner onto another part of North Mission Circle. Neighbors
say he eventually abandoned the leaf blower and jumped a
backyard fence, damaging it in the process. After crossing a
(16:42):
drainage ditch. Popos say they found Ponce in the San
Joaquin Estate's neighborhood about eighty minutes after they were first
called for the hammer attack. Ponce was charged with aggravated
assault and also faces a separate charge for reduced for
refusing to identify himself to police. Well, he may not
(17:05):
know what his identity is. They give him a new
identity when they come here. That way you don't have
you don't get to know that they're a murderer and
a rapist. He might have forgot what they told him.
That happens to Kamala sometimes they give her a front
story and she can't remember it. The friends with police
department said he has warrants in Harris County, in Dallas County,
and that is has put a hold on him. They've
(17:26):
really got a hold on him. Yeah, he's out. Which
he dropped the hammer and picked up the leaf flower.
I'd like to know what was going through his head
at that.
Speaker 7 (17:39):
That would look like U you try the kind of
what's her name?
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Bill Peverley says, I think you missed in the yard
man with the hammer story, I think you missed that
the homeowner sounds like she was armed during the encounter.
So I asked Ramona and Chad and neither one of
them caught that. And he said, I thought I heard
(18:12):
her say I was ready. Maybe I was wrong, but
that's what I thought I heard her say. If in fact,
that's the case. That changes his whole thing, because that
puts her in charge of this situation. She didn't just
have the moral authority as a homeowner. She's got the gun,
(18:32):
and you know even the biggest idiot would need to
would be afraid of that. All right, let's listen again,
and you tell me if you're getting from the story
that she has a gun. That would explain a lot
of things. Maybe I just didn't catch that. Go ahead.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
He was frantically knocking on my front door, April Huntley's
longtime landscaper, clearly in distress when she opens the door
at her home on North Mission Circle Friday afternoon.
Speaker 7 (19:02):
He was afraid and he said, April, you.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Help me, And she says the day laborer he'd hired
to help cut her lawn was waving around a hammer
and threatening him. Police identify that man as Kevin Ponce.
Speaker 7 (19:15):
He said, I want my money now, and I'm gonna
kill you. I'm gonna kill you thread.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
She says. He appeared ready to make good odd all
because of an apparent dispute over payment.
Speaker 7 (19:25):
He wanted full payment for a full day ride then,
and he didn't want to work out.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
The rest of the day, Hunley says, the landscaper takes
cover behind her while she tries talking down the hammer
wielding man.
Speaker 7 (19:37):
I said, put down the hammer and I'm calling the police.
And I said, Pelicia that much.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
He seems to understand, because Hunley says, he abandons the
hammer and it staid, grabs a leaf flower from his
boss's truck and runs down Lasal with the blower slung
over his back.
Speaker 7 (19:55):
I'm thinking that he was taking it in payment.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
When he rounds the corner onto another part of North
Mission Circle, neighbors say he drops the leaf flower and
jumps this backyard fence, taking part of it out in
the process. From there, it's across this drainage dish to
the San Joaquina States neighborhood, where police eventually catch up
with him.
Speaker 7 (20:14):
If they found him hiding in a drainage ditch that
goes underneath to drive away every.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
Police arrest him and charge him with aggravated assault. He's
also facing a separate charge, says police say he refused
to identify himself. That may be because police say he
has open warrants in Harrison Dallas Counties. I says also
put a hold on him and.
Speaker 7 (20:36):
I was wondering if that man was going to try
and charge me with that hammer, and I would be
ready for him.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Oh, I would be ready. Okay, you know, I would
really like to see some video of this because the
boss of the crew hiding behind the woman while the
illegal is over there with his hammer and she's in between.
(21:09):
If she doesn't have a gun and he's hiding behind her,
Oh my, that's a bad visual. How do you let
it get to that point? I mean, I guess, I
guess she can't just pay a guy when he demands
it for the day because the others are watching. You know,
(21:31):
you got to keep up. It's like prison mentality here.
But I like the fact that she goes into a
little Spanish on him, missus kill in your own words,
your own Spanish words.
Speaker 6 (21:43):

Speaker 1 (22:16):
I like that she's commanding him what to do.
Speaker 7 (22:19):
Put the taco down.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Do you remember? Do you remember all the details behind
that story? That was one of my favorite. They were
on the esplanade. Whatever happened to that woman. She's probably
divorced three times since then, probably got four kids by
three different men. Probably hate posting on Trump all day long,
(22:44):
thinking back to the highlight of her life with the
megaphone and telling people to put the taco down. Somewhere,
ta taco down somewhere. She's remembering the glory, Oh, the glory,
standing outside the restaurant and telling people to stop eating.
(23:05):
Y'all stop eating because they let the Attorney General come
here and eat y'all. Put your taco down. Taco down,
you just put it down, with the taco down. I'm
out here with the taco down, with the taco down.

No salt. Put the margarita down. Do not eat another chip.
It's just a fried tortilla. Put it down, no chip,
no saltsap. Tomatoes had to die for you to have
that salt.

Godah, do not eat the fajeta. That's a skirt steak.
It's the cheapest cut of meat. Don't eat the fijeta.
Do not eat the complete poeta. God, oh, you're eating chicken.

He's running too his car.
Speaker 1 (27:31):
Some of the best journalism done in this town in
the last ten years has been what Fox twenty six
has done on the crime beat. They have absolutely owned it. Also,
some of the best journalism done in the last ten
years is at KPRCTV Amy Davis. She has done an
ongoing series on Sylvester Turner's corrupt administration and the water
(27:54):
scheme that was going on. And now this one the
Houston Housing of the already the CEO, David Northern, this
guy's up to no good. So the AC units that
they had paid to put in in the public housing
projects and they had to pay to remove them and
put them back in. It turns out the guy that
David Northern hired to put him in was a buddy
(28:16):
of his in Chicago who has a clothing company and
has never installed a window unit. Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
It Trucker hats lounge wear men's and women's clothing made
by Bragger Company out of Chicago, Illinois. The company's Instagram
page describes Bragger as design and fashion, an esthetically clean,
classic and confident brand. So is it any wonder? Owner
Jonathan Stevens wanted to bring his fashion sense thousands of
(28:45):
miles to Houston for a chance to install window acs
for the Houston Housing Authority.
Speaker 10 (28:50):
That's odd because you would expect to want to hire
companies that had the experience to do the job, and
you would want to go local. It's Houston's a huge
We have plenty of companies that can do good AC work.
So why would you have to go to Illinois.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Houston City Council Member Julian Ramirez is asking a question.
We couldn't get the Houston Housing Authority to answer, but
we did pull together some documents that provide some insight.
Take a look. Jonathan Stevens signed the contract for Bragger
Company to install window acs on September fifteenth. On October fourth,
(29:26):
a Housing Authority procurement manager sends this letter to Stevens.
HHA has discovered that Bragger Company is not a registered
business in the state of Texas. He wrote, Stevens must
provide proof the company is registered here or the contract
will be terminated. October ninth, Jonathan Stevens registers his company
with the Secretary of State and on the line to
(29:48):
explain the purpose or purposes the company proposes to pursue,
Stevens boldly wrote, contract business with the Houston Housing Authority?
Can you at all address those you're the director. While
he wouldn't talk with us on camera, Houston Housing Authority
CEO David Northern did meet with me off camera. Northern,
who is from the Chicago area, to me he knows
(30:10):
Jonathan Stevens, but he didn't say how. AHHA general counsel
Jeanine Cox told me simply knowing someone doesn't constitute a
conflict of interest, but why we found another connection. In
twenty twenty three, Northern hired Marquise Barnes, also from Chicago,
(30:30):
to work as ahja's construction manager and contractor. Kevin Calvin,
owner of TPMG Construction, says Barnes asked him to do
the work for Bragger Company.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
They told me that if I would play ball and participate.
Speaker 7 (30:46):
And be it a certain way, that they would tell
me what the vietnambers wore, that they would actually make
sure I got some other contracts.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
This letter from Stevens in Chicago to the AHHA asks
them to release work materials in checks to Kevin and
Calvin here in Houston. When we reached out to Marquis
Barnes to ask him if he knew Jonathan Stevens of
Bragger Company before Stevens got the HHA contract, Marquise wouldn't answer,
but these pictures and videos on Barnes's own Facebook page
(31:16):
seemed to answer for him. This is Marquis Barnes showing
off his Bragger Company apparel in January, seven months before
the AHHA contract was signed.
Speaker 10 (31:28):
I guarantee you we've got plenty of MWBEAC companies in
Houston that can do that work. And so it raises
some suspicions why this company in Illinois was chosen over
all these companies in Houston MWBE firms that would be
able to do this work.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
I did call Jonathan Stevens in Chicago. He told me
he has no comment about the contract. When I asked
why he would want a job installing AC units in Houston,
he hung up. Hopefully we will get more answers soon. Yesterday,
the Houston Housing Authority Boys voted to hire outside legal
counsel to investigate the contracts and payouts. They also voted
(32:06):
to hire a consultant to evaluate Houston Housing Authority President
and CEO David Northern.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
He has a clothing company in Chicago. Probably also has
a mortgage company. And he's a rapper. Oh you know
the type yep. And he just received how much money?
Now he can't keep it all. He got to kick
(32:32):
a bunch of it back. This is your local government. Now,
this is what Sylvester Turner and Rodney Let's get you.
It's lappable. You know that guy. Without knowing that guy,
you know everything about him.
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load. So
Michael darry Show is.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
On the air.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
If I had a hammer, I had.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
A hammer in the mall, I had a hammer any.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
All over this line.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
I had a hammer und danger, I have a rout
a warning.
Speaker 5 (00:41):
I'd have run luck.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Between my brother's emphasisters.
Speaker 6 (00:45):
All over this bad boo.
Speaker 5 (00:52):
If I had a bed, I hadn't ring it in
the mall, moarning, I hadn't ring.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
It any line, pottering up, pottering. These are going to
continue and they're only going to get worse. A hammer
wielding illegal alien arrested for threatening to kill his boss
while working as part of a yard crew in Friendswood.
(01:20):
He was arrested after nearly a one hour standoff. He
had open warrants out of two counties, plus an ice hold. Hmm.
The story from ABC thirteen.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
He was frantically knocking on my front door, April Hunley's
longtime landscaper, clearly in distress when she opens the door
at her home on North Mission Circle Friday afternoon.
Speaker 7 (01:47):
He was afraid and he said, April, you help me.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
She says. The day laborer he'd hired to help cut
her lawn was waving around a hammer and threatening him.
Police identify that man as Kevin Pon said.
Speaker 7 (02:00):
He said, I want my money now, and I'm gonna
kill you. I'm gonna kill you right.
Speaker 5 (02:04):
She says he appeared ready to make good od all
because of an apparent dispute over payment.
Speaker 7 (02:10):
He wanted full payment for a full day right then,
and he didn't want to work out the rest of
to day.
Speaker 5 (02:16):
Hunley says, the landscaper takes cover behind her while she
tries talking down the hammer wielding man.
Speaker 7 (02:22):
I said, put down the hammer and I'm calling the police,
and I said, Pelicia that much.
Speaker 5 (02:29):
He seems to understand, because Hunley says, he abandons the
hammer and instead grabs a leaf flower from his boss's
truck and runs down LaSalle with the blower slung over
his back.
Speaker 7 (02:40):
I'm thinking that he was taking it in payment.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
When he rounds the corner onto another part of North
Mischiard Circle, neighbors say he drops the leaf flower and
jumps this backyard fence, taking part of it out in
the process. From there, it's across the drainage dish to
the San Joaquina States neighborhood, where police eventually catch up
with him found.
Speaker 7 (03:00):
Him hiding in a drainage ditch that goes underneath to
drive away.
Speaker 5 (03:05):
Every police arrest him and charge him with aggravated assault.
He's also facing a separate charge since police say he
refused to identify himself. That maybe because police say he
has open warrants in Harrison Dallas Counties. I says also
put a hold on him.
Speaker 7 (03:21):
And I was wondering if that man was going to
try and charge me with that hammer, and I would
be ready for him.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
It's only going to continue. They're not huh, what you did? What? Oh,
you were just cleaning it. Well, here we are more
soaking the taxpayers. These people in public office, school districts, county,
(03:52):
city government, they're gonna piss people off enough and they're
gonna end up with a revolution, a real revolution. They
have got to stop. They are so tone deaf, These
bastards just more money, more money, more money. Willis ISD
(04:14):
asking voters for sixty eight point eight million dollars to
build a new football stadium. Well, at least voters will
get to vote. I mean, I guess that's better than
some of the rest of this stuff where they just
why doesn't willis ISD just say, well, we think this
(04:36):
fits within the loophole because there was just a natural
disaster and we really need a new football stadium. It
will be one of the most expensive high school football
stadiums in Texas. Sixty nine million dollars to build a
(04:59):
new football st what are there ten games a year,
five at home? Seventy practically seventy million dollars because there
(05:19):
will be a cost overrun, it will end up being
over seventy million dollars by the time it's done for
something that's going to be used a handful of times
a year. That's insane. This is crazy. How does anybody
(05:40):
think this is a good idea? Nobody loves high school
football more than I do. And I can enjoy high
school football on those same old horrible aluminum, hard on
your backing butt seats in the same old grass field
(06:06):
that one of the assistant coaches are some retarded dude
that just kind of has a maintenance, you know whatever.
Around the school. There's always some guy that's somebody's nephew.
We had that at Orangefield, and everybody loves them. They're
retarded and everybody loves them. And they got keys jangling,
you know, out of their jeans. Keys to everything, and
(06:28):
you you know, when something goes wrong, you call in
Carl because he's good with the small engine repair and
you get him some in French Fried ptators. That guy
cuts the lawn. He goes out there and marks off
the yard lines. Does he snap them all straight? No
he doesn't. Does he sometimes misspell the name of the
(06:50):
team when he spray paints it in the end zone?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Yes, it's not all good. Yeah, sometimes there's deflate gate,
but not on purpose because he forgets how much air
to put in the balls. Sure, but you don't need
seventy million dollars. And you know what, by the way,
(07:15):
a twenty seven million dollar student activity center with an
indoor field, with a baseball area, wrestling space, media center.
How about this? How about the taxpayers are already paying enough.
(07:36):
And if you want all this crap, oh also a
nineteen point six million dollar aquatic center. So you're asking
people for seventy make that ninety, make that one hundred
and thirty million dollars, one hundred and fifteen point four
million dollars, one hundred and fifteen million dollar bond package.
(07:57):
How about that. Let's start with the football field, all right,
you want a new football field for the parents. And
in a small town. You know, my parents still went
to high school football games up until a few years ago.
Now part of that was I had a niece that
(08:18):
was cheerleading for Orange Field High School. But in Orange
you still go to the local football games on Friday night. Fine,
how about this. How about instead of charging people on
their taxes, many of whom don't come to the games
and don't want a football field or a football team,
(08:39):
how about you charge admission you want to enjoy the
football field, pay as you go, instead of charging people
because they're in the minority that vote against this, for
a football field that they don't even want and certainly
don't need. The Michael Perry Show.
Speaker 7 (08:57):
Because Russia cannot hack a piece of paper, we listened to.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
That story again during the break and I must have
missed the the woman telling him that she was calling
the police, but Ramon caught it. This is the illegal alien, Uh,
day laborer who's pulled a hammer on his boss and
(09:25):
wants to get paid for the day. And uh, I think,
if you're his boss, you go ahead and pay him, right.
But maybe he didn't have any cash on him. I mean,
there's something you could give him that he could go pawn.
If he pulls a hammer on you, and he's a
day laborer and he's an illegal alien, you got to
(09:49):
figure he's probably committed a few murders in Venezuela, right
and if he is the one that's committed multiple murders
in Venezuela, because there's a lot of them, you don't
want to find that out by being beaten to death.
I mean, nobody wants to be killed, but you know,
a headshot be a whole lot better being beaten to
(10:09):
death with a hammer. You're not gonna die right off.
You're gonna lay there in pain and realize, I'm gonna
die from being hammered to death. This is not This
is not how I had it planned out. I thought
maybe I'd be walking in front of one of the
lawnmowers and you know, a limb would be in there
and he'd shoot up and hit, you know, lodge into
(10:31):
my head or something. But you did not plan on
getting hammered to death by some dude you picked up
in the home Depot parking lot this morning. I knew
that was a mad one, that one. He had that
eye in him, you know, he had he had that
eye he's looking at it. I knew he was troubled
from the start anyway, So the homeowner said, she went
(10:52):
Spanish on him.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
Listen, is this the hammer wielding man said, put down.
Speaker 7 (10:57):
The hammer and I'm calling the cool And I said, Pelicia.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
That much he seems to understand.
Speaker 1 (11:05):
I went Spanish on him. Did you say policia? No, Pelicia?
Speaker 7 (11:10):
Oh police, Felicia?
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Okay, all right, say that again, because she told him.
She was like, Felicia, hey, put down the hammer. Hammer,
see hammer you got? Put hammer down. I see my eyeball.
I call ring ring, ring, ring, policia. I called woo
(11:33):
woo woo, gun jail, lock up, you bad. Played again, Felicia.
I want to hear what she said.
Speaker 7 (11:44):
I said, put down the hammer and I'm calling the police.
And I said, Pelicia that much.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
That much he understood. I guess he didn't have a
way to get away home. I don't know if I
maybe I like to know the decison. I like to
see the decision tree that got him to that point.
You know, wait, are you getting in an argument over
did he have the blade setting wrong?
Speaker 3 (12:15):
You know?
Speaker 1 (12:16):
And you're like, nah, I like, I like that to
be a little higher so I can come back in
a week and go, Hey, time to cut again in grassy?
Grassy growing, isn't it? Boy? Growing fast? So much rain
and everything? Your grass is high? Miss Smith? Should we
go ahead and instead of waiting two weeks, go ahead
and hit this one again this week? All this rain,
it's growing fast. See if you get it down there low,
(12:38):
won't pull gatto? Man, we want two weeks before we
can come. You want leave it up high?
Speaker 8 (12:45):
We all? O?
Speaker 1 (12:49):
What? Yeah? Do? The worst Mexican accent of anybody I've
ever known. And it's really embarrassing because if your parents,
I know your parents would be embarrassed if anyone ever
(13:12):
heard how bad. The only thing worse than your Spanish
is your impersonation of a Mexican. It's the worst I've heard.
It's so bad that it's hilarious. But what were they
arguing over?
Speaker 9 (13:30):
Right?
Speaker 1 (13:31):
What is there to argue over? Just cut the grass?
And at what point did this day and this week
is not even that hot like I could see if
it's real hot. You're like that son of a bitch
if he comes over here and has a single question
(13:53):
this The blade on this mower is crooked this thing.
I'm out here. I can't breathe. I got polling in
my eyes. I got grass cuttings.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
All over my arm.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I'm tired and I'm hungover. I'm tired and I am
hung over. I didn't get any minudo this morning. I'm
pissed off. The taxi dancing club was closed last night.
(14:31):
And if he comes over here and says one word,
why did they even have a hammer. There's a lawn crew.
He was prepared. He was prepared, premeditated. Yep, you come
over here. Good to know they're doing the jobs we
(14:51):
Americans won't do, taking out a hammer and bashing. His
name was Kevin Ponset. Hunley said. The laborer dropped the
hammer and instead grabbed a leaf blower from his boss's truck.
Neighbors saw him running down LaSalle with the blower slung
(15:13):
over his back. You think it was his leaf blower?
Or do you think because maybe he's figuring, I gotta
get some money today. And if I go knocking on
the door with a hammer in my hands, say hey,
excuse me, sir, do you have anything needs to be hammering?
Do you have anything in want of hammering? But if
(15:36):
you got a leaf blower, you get kind of rakeed.
You'll kind of push the leaves all up on everything,
and you are having bad mess. I blow, I gotta blow.
I blow it. Uh yeah, sure, but aren't you The
guy that had the hammer down at Miss Smith's house
was swinging it and wielding it and all that when
(15:59):
they called the police. Uh yeah, but I have blown.
I blow, you know, I blow. After let's see. So
neighbors saw him running down LaSalle with the blower slung
over his back. I gotta go back, Hundley said. The
laborer dropped the hammer and instead grabbed a leaf blower
(16:20):
from his boss's truck. Neighbors saw him running down LaSalle
with the blower slung over his back. When he rounded
the corner onto another part of North Mission Circle. Neighbors
say he eventually abandoned the leaf blower and jumped a
backyard fence, damaging it in the process. After crossing a
(16:42):
drainage ditch. Popos say they found Ponce in the San
Joaquin Estate's neighborhood about eighty minutes after they were first
called for the hammer attack. Ponce was charged with aggravated
assault and also faces a separate charge for reduced for
refusing to identify himself to police. Well, he may not
(17:05):
know what his identity is. They give him a new
identity when they come here. That way you don't have
you don't get to know that they're a murderer and
a rapist. He might have forgot what they told him.
That happens to Kamala sometimes they give her a front
story and she can't remember it. The friends with police
department said he has warrants in Harris County, in Dallas County,
and that is has put a hold on him. They've
(17:26):
really got a hold on him. Yeah, he's out. Which
he dropped the hammer and picked up the leaf flower.
I'd like to know what was going through his head
at that.
Speaker 7 (17:39):
That would look like U you try the kind of
what's her name?
Speaker 1 (17:49):
Bill Peverley says, I think you missed in the yard
man with the hammer story, I think you missed that
the homeowner sounds like she was armed during the encounter.
So I asked Ramona and Chad and neither one of
them caught that. And he said, I thought I heard
(18:12):
her say I was ready. Maybe I was wrong, but
that's what I thought I heard her say. If in fact,
that's the case. That changes his whole thing, because that
puts her in charge of this situation. She didn't just
have the moral authority as a homeowner. She's got the gun,
(18:32):
and you know even the biggest idiot would need to
would be afraid of that. All right, let's listen again,
and you tell me if you're getting from the story
that she has a gun. That would explain a lot
of things. Maybe I just didn't catch that. Go ahead.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
He was frantically knocking on my front door, April Huntley's
longtime landscaper, clearly in distress when she opens the door
at her home on North Mission Circle Friday afternoon.
Speaker 7 (19:02):
He was afraid and he said, April, you.
Speaker 5 (19:05):
Help me, And she says the day laborer he'd hired
to help cut her lawn was waving around a hammer
and threatening him. Police identify that man as Kevin Ponce.
Speaker 7 (19:15):
He said, I want my money now, and I'm gonna
kill you. I'm gonna kill you thread.
Speaker 5 (19:20):
She says. He appeared ready to make good odd all
because of an apparent dispute over payment.
Speaker 7 (19:25):
He wanted full payment for a full day ride then,
and he didn't want to work out.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
The rest of the day, Hunley says, the landscaper takes
cover behind her while she tries talking down the hammer
wielding man.
Speaker 7 (19:37):
I said, put down the hammer and I'm calling the police.
And I said, Pelicia that much.
Speaker 5 (19:44):
He seems to understand, because Hunley says, he abandons the
hammer and it staid, grabs a leaf flower from his
boss's truck and runs down Lasal with the blower slung
over his back.
Speaker 7 (19:55):
I'm thinking that he was taking it in payment.
Speaker 5 (19:58):
When he rounds the corner onto another part of North
Mission Circle, neighbors say he drops the leaf flower and
jumps this backyard fence, taking part of it out in
the process. From there, it's across this drainage dish to
the San Joaquina States neighborhood, where police eventually catch up
with him.
Speaker 7 (20:14):
If they found him hiding in a drainage ditch that
goes underneath to drive away every.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
Police arrest him and charge him with aggravated assault. He's
also facing a separate charge, says police say he refused
to identify himself. That may be because police say he
has open warrants in Harrison Dallas Counties. I says also
put a hold on him and.
Speaker 7 (20:36):
I was wondering if that man was going to try
and charge me with that hammer, and I would be
ready for him.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Oh, I would be ready. Okay, you know, I would
really like to see some video of this because the
boss of the crew hiding behind the woman while the
illegal is over there with his hammer and she's in between.
(21:09):
If she doesn't have a gun and he's hiding behind her,
Oh my, that's a bad visual. How do you let
it get to that point? I mean, I guess, I
guess she can't just pay a guy when he demands
it for the day because the others are watching. You know,
(21:31):
you got to keep up. It's like prison mentality here.
But I like the fact that she goes into a
little Spanish on him, missus kill in your own words,
your own Spanish words.

Put the taco down.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Do you remember? Do you remember all the details behind
that story? That was one of my favorite. They were
on the esplanade. Whatever happened to that woman. She's probably
divorced three times since then, probably got four kids by
three different men. Probably hate posting on Trump all day long,
(22:44):
thinking back to the highlight of her life with the
megaphone and telling people to put the taco down. Somewhere,
ta taco down somewhere. She's remembering the glory, Oh, the glory,
standing outside the restaurant and telling people to stop eating.
(23:05):
Y'all stop eating because they let the Attorney General come
here and eat y'all. Put your taco down. Taco down,
you just put it down, with the taco down. I'm

Some of the best journalism done in this town in
the last ten years has been what Fox twenty six
has done on the crime beat. They have absolutely owned it. Also,
some of the best journalism done in the last ten
years is at KPRCTV Amy Davis. She has done an
ongoing series on Sylvester Turner's corrupt administration and the water
(27:54):
scheme that was going on. And now this one the
Houston Housing of the already the CEO, David Northern, this
guy's up to no good. So the AC units that
they had paid to put in in the public housing
projects and they had to pay to remove them and
put them back in. It turns out the guy that
David Northern hired to put him in was a buddy
(28:16):
of his in Chicago who has a clothing company and
has never installed a window unit. Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
It Trucker hats lounge wear men's and women's clothing made
by Bragger Company out of Chicago, Illinois. The company's Instagram
page describes Bragger as design and fashion, an esthetically clean,
classic and confident brand. So is it any wonder? Owner
Jonathan Stevens wanted to bring his fashion sense thousands of
(28:45):
miles to Houston for a chance to install window acs
for the Houston Housing Authority.
Speaker 10 (28:50):
That's odd because you would expect to want to hire
companies that had the experience to do the job, and
you would want to go local. It's Houston's a huge
We have plenty of companies that can do good AC work.
So why would you have to go to Illinois.
Speaker 2 (29:05):
Houston City Council Member Julian Ramirez is asking a question.
We couldn't get the Houston Housing Authority to answer, but
we did pull together some documents that provide some insight.
Take a look. Jonathan Stevens signed the contract for Bragger
Company to install window acs on September fifteenth. On October fourth,
(29:26):
a Housing Authority procurement manager sends this letter to Stevens.
HHA has discovered that Bragger Company is not a registered
business in the state of Texas. He wrote, Stevens must
provide proof the company is registered here or the contract
will be terminated. October ninth, Jonathan Stevens registers his company
with the Secretary of State and on the line to
(29:48):
explain the purpose or purposes the company proposes to pursue,
Stevens boldly wrote, contract business with the Houston Housing Authority?
Can you at all address those you're the director. While
he wouldn't talk with us on camera, Houston Housing Authority
CEO David Northern did meet with me off camera. Northern,
who is from the Chicago area, to me he knows
(30:10):
Jonathan Stevens, but he didn't say how. AHHA general counsel
Jeanine Cox told me simply knowing someone doesn't constitute a
conflict of interest, but why we found another connection. In
twenty twenty three, Northern hired Marquise Barnes, also from Chicago,
(30:30):
to work as ahja's construction manager and contractor. Kevin Calvin,
owner of TPMG Construction, says Barnes asked him to do
the work for Bragger Company.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
They told me that if I would play ball and participate.
Speaker 7 (30:46):
And be it a certain way, that they would tell
me what the vietnambers wore, that they would actually make
sure I got some other contracts.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
This letter from Stevens in Chicago to the AHHA asks
them to release work materials in checks to Kevin and
Calvin here in Houston. When we reached out to Marquis
Barnes to ask him if he knew Jonathan Stevens of
Bragger Company before Stevens got the HHA contract, Marquise wouldn't answer,
but these pictures and videos on Barnes's own Facebook page
(31:16):
seemed to answer for him. This is Marquis Barnes showing
off his Bragger Company apparel in January, seven months before
the AHHA contract was signed.
Speaker 10 (31:28):
I guarantee you we've got plenty of MWBEAC companies in
Houston that can do that work. And so it raises
some suspicions why this company in Illinois was chosen over
all these companies in Houston MWBE firms that would be
able to do this work.
Speaker 2 (31:44):
I did call Jonathan Stevens in Chicago. He told me
he has no comment about the contract. When I asked
why he would want a job installing AC units in Houston,
he hung up. Hopefully we will get more answers soon. Yesterday,
the Houston Housing Authority Boys voted to hire outside legal
counsel to investigate the contracts and payouts. They also voted
(32:06):
to hire a consultant to evaluate Houston Housing Authority President
and CEO David Northern.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
He has a clothing company in Chicago. Probably also has
a mortgage company. And he's a rapper. Oh you know
the type yep. And he just received how much money?
Now he can't keep it all. He got to kick
(32:32):
a bunch of it back. This is your local government. Now,
this is what Sylvester Turner and Rodney Let's get you.
It's lappable. You know that guy. Without knowing that guy,
you know everything about him.
