Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So Michael Veri show is on the air.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
He is not pardoning his son, which he could do.
These are federal charges. He is not doing that. He
is not doing it because he is living what it
means to have a rule of law in this country.
And then it isn't I mean, if you want to know,
if he believes it, you can actually see what is
(00:36):
happening with his own son.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
If Biden has lost something with the American people over
the last few years, it's that reminder that he is
sort of the opposite of Trump on empathy, right, He's
the opposite of Trump on some of these things. And
I think this verdict their reaction to it versus how
the Trump's have reacted to the rule of law. Certainly,
I think presents that character contrast.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
It goes, let's bokeet all that and give me the normal,
and you can't find it.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
So I can't call.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Just the denim I'm finding so.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Overcome.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
I learned to take it well. I wish my words
it just cos myself.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
Then it just goes over me.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
But that's not the way it feels.
Speaker 6 (01:28):
Joe and Joe Biden, We're so concerned about their family
that they decided to run for president.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
So when you talk about.
Speaker 6 (01:34):
The word selfish, it's almost like the word doesn't I
mean I Their decision to run for president put the
entire Democratic Party in the United States of America in
the position that it's in now.
Speaker 7 (01:47):
This pardon is just deepflating for those of us who
have been out there for a few years now yelling
about what a unique threat Donald Trump is for Joe
Biden to do something like this, nobody's above the law.
We've been screaming, Well, Joe Biden just made clear his
son Hunter is above the law.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Isn't that the way they said? Let's voke it all
that and give me the number, and you can't find it,
and so I can't call just to tell him I'm
find and to show.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
Overcome and bloke take it.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Well. I wish my words just defends myself that it
just wasn't real.
Speaker 8 (02:32):
But that's not the.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Way it be.
Speaker 7 (02:34):
Donald Trump lies every time he opens his mouth. We've
been screaming, Joe Biden repeatedly lied about this. This just
furthers the cynicism that people have about politics and and
and that cynicism strengthens Trump because Trump can just say
I'm not a unique threat. Everybody does this if I
(02:56):
do something for my kid, my son in law, whatever. Look,
Joe Biden does the same thing. I get it. But
this was a selfish move by Biden, which politically only
strengthens Trump. It's just deflating.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
But let's hook it all that and give me and
you can't find it, so I can't be called.
Speaker 7 (03:23):
To show.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
To take it well.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
That the CEO of United Healthcare, Brian Thompson, it is
being reported as of about a moment ago, a minute ago,
was fatally shot in Manhattan outside of his hotel room,
just before he was supposed to speak at a conference
(03:52):
as the CEO of United Healthcare. More when we know it,
whether that was a personal issue or something related to
his professional capacity. Of course, it's Manhattan, so it could
just be that some dude was bored. The trial of
Daniel Penney wrapping up. He's the United States marine who's subdued.
(04:18):
The thug who happened to be black, who was terrorizing
the New York subway and threatening to kill everyone on
the subway. News now emerging. I don't know how it
took this long to get out that Jordan Neely, the thug,
the turd, who he subdued and then died as part
(04:38):
of this submission, was out on an arrest bond for
having beaten up a woman on the subway. Oh yes,
remember they told us what a nice guy he was.
He was of diminished capacity. He'll kill you just as
dead as the next one. Today is forty seven days
(05:00):
till Donald Trump becomes the forty seventh president. Wall Street
Journal reported last night that Ron DeSantis is being considered,
if not the decision already made, to be the replacement
for Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense. Now that doesn't
(05:22):
necessarily doesn't necessarily mean that it's true. I suppose we'll
find out in good time. Why can't Pete Hegseth be
the Secretary of Defense? Well, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska is
refusing to vote for him. Republican Susan Collins of Maine
(05:47):
refusing to vote for him. You're going to hear those
two names a lot. Murkowski, You'll recall who claims to
be a Republican and we count her in our caucus.
But Murkowski is the one who lost her father was
the big prominent politician. She lost her primary, her Republican
(06:08):
primary years ago, and ran in November, and just like
drunk Dad in Beaumont, she managed to get the Democrats
to vote for her, and so she picked up a
small percentage of Republicans and all the Democrats. So she
won and went back and claims she's a Republican, but
(06:31):
in fact she wasn't supported by the Republican base. She's
been a problem ever since. Susan Collins of Maine is
certainly no conservative, and so again we tend to count
her in our caucus, but she's going to be a problem.
Senator John Curtis refusing to vote for Pete haig Seth.
(06:53):
Lindsey Graham refusing to vote refusing to vote for Pete
haig Seth. And you may say, well, why, because Lindsey
Graham masturbates to war and Pete Hegseth does not want
more war, and Lindsey Graham is going to get his
porn one way or another. Mitch McConnell refusing to vote
for Pete Hegseth, and John Thune, the new Senate majority leader,
(07:15):
refusing to vote for Pete Haigseth, which means there would
be more if a vote is held. If Thune is
openly opposing hegseeth, there will be others who will fall
in line. They do not report to Donald Trump. That
is not the person who can do them the most
good or ill. It is John Thune committee assignments favors done.
(07:41):
It is an old boys club. They have some women
in it, but it's an old boys club and they
are clubby and they will do what John Thune, the
new Majority leader, wants them to do, just as they
did for Mitch McConnell. We're going to have some serious,
serious problems with the United States Senate over the coming years,
(08:01):
and again in two years, we're going to have to
primary as many of them as possible. There is a
movement gaining a lot of steam behind the scenes to
replace John Cornyn. Now, replacing John Cornyn unites enough people
to win an election, problem becomes who is that candidate.
(08:23):
If it's Ken Paxton and there is a ground swell
behind Ken Paxton, one and one candidate only, it's possible
to do it. The problem is there's going to be
a lot of people across the country who will name
themselves Texts or Freedom or Sam Houston or Davy Crockett
or whatever. They may literally change their names. There's a
(08:44):
lot of these guys. They'll be constitutionalists, there'll be secessionists.
They'll be this, they'll be this. There'll be a lot
of people who will want to run, who won't raise
one dollar and can't win. It'll be mad everybody doesn't
support them. But if it's just Ken Paxton, we can
beat Cornick and.
Speaker 9 (08:57):
You listen to this season radio Michael Bare.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Did I ever tell you what Billy gibbons business card says?
I met Billy Gibbons in about two thousand and five ish,
might have been a little before at Downing Street, Kirby
and West timer a cigar lounge. Say, very cool Garland,
(09:28):
and he said, here, take my card. Took his card.
I didn't look at it right when I took it.
He walked away and said, Billy Gibbons on one side.
On the flip side friend of Eric Clapton. He didn't
you give a phone number, per se, It just said
(09:51):
friend of Eric Clefton. I asked Crockett what he learned
in school yesterday. I asked Crockett what he learned in
school today? He said, apparently not enough because I had
to go back tomorrow. A friend of mine met a
girl at the bar and she said, would you like
me to show you a good time? And he said yeah.
(10:15):
She said, all right, we'll come outside with me. They
got outside, she ran one hundred meters in less than
thirteen seconds.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
BO.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Why did Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer not become the valedictorian?
He went down in history. Mattress mack set to get
open heart surgery this coming Tuesday. No, unfortunately, that one's
(10:51):
not a joke. It's true. Our dear beloved friend, James
mack Ingveil needs your prayers because this Tuesday he will,
in fact, he will, in fact have an open heart surgery.
(11:13):
He has been shopping doctors. Mac as you may or
may not know, has a passion for medicine. It's very
interested in it. He and Bud Frasier, the famous heart
doctor who trained under DeBakey, have had a long standing friendship.
(11:36):
I think Texas Heart Institute. He and his wife Linda
at the Westwood Country Club have funded a number of
initiatives and I think probably some professorial chairs and various
things with regard to medicine in our community. It's a
subject of great interest to him, as you know, he's
(11:58):
a survivor. I think they as of yesterday, he said
they had decided on the doctor. That's a big deal.
You know. You you you order the wrong pair of
underwear and get it wrong, you can always go back
to fruit of the loom or whatever that is. But
(12:18):
when it comes to a person who's going to literally
lay open your chest and fondle your heart and put
you back together again, you want to get that right.
And so that it turns out will be Methodist doctor
Gerald Lowry. I mentioned that because I am a believer
(12:41):
in specificity in prayer, and so if you would keep
doctor gerald Lowry the l Owe Roy in your prayers,
I would well, I would certainly appreciate that. And no pressure, Doc,
It's just Mattress Mac, Mattress Mac. I mean, you know,
just treat it like any other at bat. You know,
(13:07):
you just go in there and do your best. Just
know that now your name has been mentioned. Eat a
good breakfast that day, Make sure you get a good
night's sleep, make sure you're sufficiently hydrated. You know what
I'm saying. Wear are your comfortable shoes that day? No pressure.
(13:30):
But this is Mattress mac here. This is kind of
a big deal. And I said, I was just talking
to him, praying with him yesterday, and I said, do
you mind if I announced it on the air or
would you prefer I keep it quiet. Of course, it's
your choice, because our people would like to know so
(13:51):
that they could pray for you. And he said, you
absolutely can. Thank you for asking any to love me.
If you could tell them that nothing would make me
feel better, then for them to come in and buy furniture.
I said, I will do just that. I will do that.
(14:14):
And he said, tell them I do appreciate their prayers.
If they're not the praying type, they're good wishes. They're
well wishes. So if you find yourself wanting to write
a little handwritten it doesn't have to be, you know,
a handwritten note goes so so far. My boys know
that I love this, and they they absolutely own me
(14:34):
with this issue. But when I'm doing something, they'll for
all the we don't buy cards, they make them. But
it may just be a handwritten note. I mean, it's
always just hey, hey, dad, you know this is what
I want you to know. And this was Michael and
then they date it, and I keep all of them.
They make fun of them, they make fun of me.
(14:54):
I keep all of them in a little drawer where
I dress every morning, and me when any is the
time when I'm just needing a little pick me up
as I'm getting ready that day, and I'll dig in
there and whatever I pull out first, and it will
be one of those notes in their children's chicken scratch
from when they were seven or eight or seventeen for
(15:15):
that matter. Neither one of them is going to win
handwriting awards, but it comes from the heart and that
boy that goes a long long way. Apparently doctor Lowry
was trained by doctor de Bakey, as was Bud Fraser.
My guess is Bud Fraser had some influence on which
(15:37):
doctor they finally went with, because I know they had
talked to Saint Luke's and also to this doctor Gerald
Lowry at Methodists to find the right doctor. But I
think good things are in store. You know, none of
us has promised tomorrow, and we have to live each
day for the moment. And I'm certainly not ready to
(16:00):
let go of Mac, and I know you're not as well.
And Houston doesn't want to but I don't think that
Mac has any regrets. I'll tell you that that's not
a fellow that said I'll wait till I'm retired or
I'll wait till this is perfect. I mean, that's a
guy that strings together a lot of today's that creates,
at the end of it quite some legacy. And you
(16:24):
know that that's that's a stalwart, that's something too, that's
something to be extraordinarily proud of. So please keep Mattress
Mac in your prayers and doctor Gerald Lowry, who will
perform that procedure which will occur on Tuesday, And as
soon as I know the results that he has come
(16:46):
out of surgery, I will obviously share that with you.
And oh yeah, he'll be answering phones on them, he'll
do TV interviews, and I guarantee you when he comes out,
he'll still be woozy. He'll still be in that goofy
gown they put you in where your stuff's dangling around.
He won't even care. He might you know what, he
might have had him roll in a sealypostrophedic or whatever and
(17:11):
say and slap the bed and say, just got them.
It's bed. It's bed, but it's comfortable hospital bed is
not worry. Come, I got one of these sleep great tonight.
Come come, come by a gallery furniture and oh yeah, absolutely,
And this is his big time of the year. You know.
The thing that you know how you know this is
this can't be put off because it was originally going
(17:32):
to be today and they were in their last round
of meetings yesterday, and so I told him, I said, Mac,
I'm not gonna be able to come see you. I've
got pretty I've got bronchittas, pneumonia whatever. Mary Tellyboden said
I have, and she's got my doctor. She know my
wife sat up with so many drugs and nebulizers and
(17:55):
steroids and everything. Problem with steroids as you can't sleep.
But anyway, I said, I can't come by there. I
don't want to do that to you because I don't
you don't need to get And he said, no, No, that's okay,
that's okay. So it was originally going to be today.
It's gonna be but you know it's serious because this
is his heaviest time of year. But I believe he
is at the store today if you want to go
(18:16):
by to see it.
Speaker 9 (18:17):
Yeah, the girls all get pretty at closing time when
you're listening to the Michael Berry Show and it keeps
sitting up lot of same.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
You know, when that shot and just like that, it's
Mattress mack with it scarlet. How are you feeling?
Speaker 8 (18:39):
I feel pretty good. You know. I was very tired
there for a couple of weeks, but uh, they put
me on all these man so I feel better.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
Now.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
What kind of meds they got you on?
Speaker 8 (18:51):
Every med knowing the man? In fact, I was late
listen to Michael Berry Show today because I'm trying to
figure out which one I'm supposed to take and not take.
I got some procedure today, so I'm taking a course
in chemistry.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
I think, what do they what they got you doing today?
Speaker 8 (19:08):
They're doing something where they put dye down. Your things
are arteries to see. There's no arvy cat blocking. So
if they go and do the open heart surgery, that
everything proceeds smoothly. So today I'll from one to three,
I'll be in La La Land getting all these checkout checkups.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
That that whole contrast process is so fascinating. Whoever came
up with that was a genius. Ramon said, if you
could please not use the word dyet instead use coloring.
It's not a good time to be using.
Speaker 8 (19:39):
That one coloring. Okay, So uh.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Tell me how you were feeling before. How did you
know this was not just exhaustion fatigue? What made you realize, okay,
I might need to get this checked.
Speaker 8 (19:57):
Well, I was coughing every night, and I wasn't sick.
I was coughing a lot every night when I laid down,
and then it got to where when I laid down
in my temper peegue, I couldn't hardly breathe and had
trouble breathing. So I went to the doctor. They did
(20:17):
a couple of tests, and then they kept getting worse
and worse. And then they started doing all these tests
and figured out, I need to have his open heart
circuit to get these leaflets and whatever they are in
your heart that opened the door and let the blood in.
The close the door let the blood out. They aren't
working properly.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
So he said that you had obviously a great deal
of blocking.
Speaker 8 (20:45):
I don't know if it's blocking or not, but the
blood wasn't when the heart pumps, the blood wasn't pumping
back out because the leaflets weren't opening and closing properly interesting?
Speaker 2 (20:57):
So that's did you did you did you expect that
this was an open heart surgery correction or did you
think you know this is going to be a minor thing.
Speaker 8 (21:11):
Well, I'd hope that was one of those things they
could go up through your arm or groin and do
it that way without having to crack me open. But
it didn't work out. So I have lots of confidence
in the doctor down at the medical center, and lots
of confidence the Good Lord. Hopefully everything will come out
all right.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Oh, I'm sure it's going to be absolutely fine. It
he tell you how long the procedure would.
Speaker 8 (21:32):
Take, thinking about four hours?
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Did Ramon wants to know if you're going to have
a siaypostropedic or your bed of choice rolled in there
so you can get a good night's sleep after your surgery.
Speaker 8 (21:46):
I'm certainly thinking about it. If the If they'll let me,
I'll bring in one of my own adjustment matches because
hospital beds are not very comfortable.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
No, they're not. Have they told you how long they
expect you to be in the hospital.
Speaker 8 (22:01):
A week?
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Oh? Wow, I can't see you sitting in there for
a week.
Speaker 8 (22:07):
I can't either, But then and they said I need
to be at home for four or five weeks. They
told me yesterday I can still start going back to
work the second week, so that's better.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Well, you feel most at home at Gallery Furniture as
long as you say that you got comfortable places to sit.
Speaker 8 (22:23):
I do. I'm just forbidden from lifting any self as
their recliners.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
So it's gonna be Laurie. I'm told it's Laurie. Some
of the doctors that work with him email me. I
thought it was Lowry, but apparently his name is Laurie H.
And is are there any other doctors involved?
Speaker 8 (22:42):
Well, you know, my friend doctor Fraser at Saint Luke's
has been very instrumental in helping me get all this
treatment for my various heart problems over the years. So
I want to give a shout out of my friend
doctor bus Fraser.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
And then.
Speaker 8 (22:59):
Doctor Lowrie will do the surgery on Tuesday. So looking
forward to a good result and getting back in the
saddle once again.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Well, we're all looking forward to a good result and
you getting back in the saddle. And we have encouraged
folks to come by and share the good wishes for you.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
You are.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
You are an important part of this community and have
been for a very long time, and we want the
absolute best for you and yours. I would be remiss
if I didn't ask you. I know, as a former
member of the National Championship University of Texas Longhorn team.
Even though you say you didn't play, you were on
the team. We're in a uniform. How you felt after
Saturday's game against Texas A and M.
Speaker 8 (23:45):
Well, it was a good game. You know, Texas has
a tremendous defense, and I would did some somebody tell
me that the team's the best defense win the national championship?
So Texas is on a roll. They've got a great team,
and hatsas A and M. They had a good season,
much better than expected. But Texas came out on top
of that game. And we'll see what happened in Georgia
(24:07):
this week. Hook them horns.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Yes, indeed, all right, Matt, get well soon.
Speaker 8 (24:12):
Thanks Mitch. Very appreciate having me take care of it
my brother.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Yes, sir, Well there you have it. That is uh,
you know it. Every day every day I get emails,
so hey, would you please pray for my mother? She's
going in for open heart surgery today, Hey, would you
please pray for my husband, my wife, my son for
(24:38):
that matter, From gunshot wounds to open heart surgery, to
cancer treatments to anything else. That's the reality, and medical
care is one of those things we take for granted
until you are in the throes of it. I am
fortunate to have a wife who cares deeply about me,
because all day long, she's bringing me different pills. Right
(25:04):
now and I don't I don't have to fool with it.
I can focus on the show. A friend of mine said,
you don't sound like you're sick, and I'm not sick.
I don't get sick, but I don't want to be sick.
I'm being treated for whatever the hell it was, which
is minor compared to what Mac is going through. But
I'll tell you what it's a It's a humbling feeling.
You know, when you're Mac, you're king of the world.
(25:26):
You do anything you want. You climb up that tower
if you want to, you can get up in your
in your whatever, that big military tank thing he drives
around and when it's raining, you can, you know, send
a million dollars here to a million dollars there. But
at the end of the day, the Lord is looking
over us, and God's in charge, and we got to
take care of our health. And it's a humbling thing.
(25:48):
Don't press for our friend.
Speaker 10 (25:49):
Mac at least chairs keep rolling around. Damn it all right,
This is Mark Chestnut. Enjoy are of talk.
Speaker 5 (26:01):
Radio, and now from the bubbling heart of where Cajun
Country meet Cowboy Country. Through his blood flow a mix
of petrochemicals, small water and conservatism.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
Now broadcasting this ignorance all the way.
Speaker 5 (26:21):
From New York to Ergon with a heart pulsing in Texas,
ladies and gentlemen, Mister Michael Berra.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Well, we haven't talked about Colony Ridge in a while.
The head of it was in jail in Waller County
for a little while and was let out early. But
we go back to Liberty County, which does not have
an animal control division because apparently they didn't have a
(26:58):
stray dog problem until now. A pack of stray dogs
has been terrorizing residents of Colony Ridge. Before you think
this is nothing, you'll have to see the videos that
go with the stories that have been filed by local
two KPRC. The Sheriff's office is telling residents to shoot
(27:19):
the dogs if they have to defend themselves. And I
know that dog lovers are probably the most obnoxious group
of people out there. But if a stray dog is
terrorizing me or anyone around me, they're being put down
in a second, and you can sit and run to
peta or whatever else you want. That is what has
to happen. But here we have it. Here are the
(27:40):
cultural problems that come with illegal alien communities and the
ramshackle shanties they've built, and the fraud that's going on.
The first story from KPRC TV.
Speaker 11 (28:02):
This is video taken on the road fifty two oh
three in Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
The fact that we have to put up with this
is ridiculous.
Speaker 11 (28:11):
This woman, who asked not to be identified, says more
than two dozen straight dogs roam the neighborhood. She says
it was her cousin who could be heard screaming for
his life while being attacked right outside their door on
Thanksgiving Day. She says the same dogs also tried to
(28:31):
attack the paramedics who came to see about her cousin.
I don't have a life, I can't go out.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
I'm constantly scared about leaving my house, coming home at night.
I have to stay in my car thirty thirty five
minutes to make sure that these dogs are not anywhere arouse.
Speaker 11 (28:43):
She says she's only lived here since May and already
wants to sell her house. This is the sand of
the woman says her cousin was wearing when he was attacked.
As you can see, it is all tewed up. They
say the situation has gotten so out of hand that
they've had to take matters into their own hands and
hire someone to put these traps, hoping to make this
problem a thing of the past. Emily Curtis, who lives
(29:04):
right across the street, says no one can even walk
their own pets because of stray dogs.
Speaker 12 (29:09):
I was attacked and it was completely unprovoked, Curtis says.
Speaker 11 (29:14):
She was trying to go to work on Thanksgiving Day
when she suddenly found herself trying to ward off around
eight relentless caneines.
Speaker 12 (29:21):
But I feel every bite, I remember every ripping of
the dog's heads, and I just thank god that a
neighbor came out and got them off of me, because
I may have been dead.
Speaker 11 (29:38):
Curtis says, no one is safe.
Speaker 12 (29:40):
The same dogs that have attacked me have attacked Amazon,
drivers have attacked Terminex employees on the same street.
Speaker 11 (29:51):
And investigator with the Liberty County Sheriff's Office says, while
the county does not have an animal control division, deputies
do respond to dog bite nine calls, and if its
owner can't be found, or if it's astray, then they'll
call Dayton's or the City of Liberty's animal control the problem.
They say, the city's animal control officials may not be
able to come out after hours.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
We also reached.
Speaker 11 (30:13):
Out to several Liberty County commissioners, but so far have
not heard back.
Speaker 12 (30:17):
I'm just really disappointed that nobody's there to protect and
serve us.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Gosh, if only a little bit of that bribe money
had been dedicated toward an animal control officer and maybe
a dog pound, which you didn't need before. HPRC TV
with an update on that story.
Speaker 5 (30:43):
It's a horrible situation.
Speaker 11 (30:45):
As disturbing as this is to look at, people who
live in Liberty County say, the issue with packs of
vicious stray dogs attacking almost any and everybody extends far
beyond these recent caught on camera.
Speaker 12 (30:58):
Incidents like two and twenty twenty three.
Speaker 10 (31:03):
They've skyrocketed, and you know people are getting big.
Speaker 11 (31:07):
Amanda Jordan, who volunteers to foster and rescue animals in
Liberty County, says about six months ago she lost five
of her own pet cats to Conniving k nines.
Speaker 10 (31:17):
They never left the yard, and there was a pack
of dogs that lived down.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
The street and they came like over a two.
Speaker 10 (31:24):
Week period and killed every single one of them, and
the cops said there was nothing we could.
Speaker 8 (31:28):
Do about it.
Speaker 11 (31:29):
This after, she says she tried to raise the issue
last year in Commissioner's Court to county leaders.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Nothing has changed.
Speaker 11 (31:37):
Our first story aired Monday night, showing you images of
serious bite wounds two people who live in the Colony
Ridge area of Cleveland suffered on Thanksgiving Day. Since then,
three KPRC two crews who went to investigate those attacks
saw the issue firsthand. Also being met by aggressive and
possibly rabid dogs.
Speaker 13 (31:57):
Many residents back in twenty to twenty two two in
twenty twenty three that said, my son got bid at
a bus stop by a stray dog, or I walk
out in the morning and I have to carry mace
an issue.
Speaker 11 (32:11):
Texas Humane Legislation Executive Director Shelby Boboski says can only
be changed if county leaders take action, as there is
no animal control division in Liberty County. Now County Judge J. H.
Knight vowing to our coarly peel he's working with other
county leaders to develop a solution. Meanwhile, but Boski encouraging
(32:31):
residents to do their part.
Speaker 13 (32:33):
They need to go to their commissioner court and reach
out to their commissioners and explain the importance.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
You know, this is another great example. Let's let's not
talk about what you're told to do in a situation
like this. Let's go back to the original state of nature.
I live on little plot of land over here before
we have surveyors and all that. You live over on
the on that side of the mountain. Roone lives over
(33:04):
there in an area he kind of hoards and a
bunch of trash on it, but that's his hilar area.
Chad lives in a very tidy area over there. That's
his Japanese background. And so we're all. We're all in
our little sector. And I got a dog that is
my pet dog, and I've domesticated it. And my dog
(33:26):
keeps coming over to your area and terrorizing you. And
you shoot and kill it, follow us to it. If
it wasn't a domesticated dog, if it was any other animal,
that's what you do. So it's very simple. You rather
shoot and kill the dog or you call the deputies
and they come out. You got an un You got
(33:48):
an unleashed dog roaming the territory. It's not that hard.
The deputies take the dog into possession, take it, put
it in a cage at the station. Well, we need
to have meetings and have a comprehensive plan, and we
need to and we need to talk to our elected
officials and we need to come up with a plan
and we need No, you don't take the damn dogs
(34:08):
off the street. It's not hard at all. This this
is a very they create. All its nonsense. Do your job,
get the damn dog off the street. Do you work
for Trey Harris or do you work for the citizens
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So Michael Veri show is on the air.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
He is not pardoning his son, which he could do.
These are federal charges. He is not doing that. He
is not doing it because he is living what it
means to have a rule of law in this country.
And then it isn't I mean, if you want to know,
if he believes it, you can actually see what is
(00:36):
happening with his own son.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
If Biden has lost something with the American people over
the last few years, it's that reminder that he is
sort of the opposite of Trump on empathy, right, He's
the opposite of Trump on some of these things. And
I think this verdict their reaction to it versus how
the Trump's have reacted to the rule of law. Certainly,
I think presents that character contrast.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
It goes, let's bokeet all that and give me the normal,
and you can't find it.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
So I can't call.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
Just the denim I'm finding so.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Overcome.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
I learned to take it well. I wish my words
it just cos myself.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
Then it just goes over me.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
But that's not the way it feels.
Speaker 6 (01:28):
Joe and Joe Biden, We're so concerned about their family
that they decided to run for president.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
So when you talk about.
Speaker 6 (01:34):
The word selfish, it's almost like the word doesn't I
mean I Their decision to run for president put the
entire Democratic Party in the United States of America in
the position that it's in now.
Speaker 7 (01:47):
This pardon is just deepflating for those of us who
have been out there for a few years now yelling
about what a unique threat Donald Trump is for Joe
Biden to do something like this, nobody's above the law.
We've been screaming, Well, Joe Biden just made clear his
son Hunter is above the law.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
Isn't that the way they said? Let's voke it all
that and give me the number, and you can't find it,
and so I can't call just to tell him I'm
find and to show.
Speaker 5 (02:22):
Overcome and bloke take it.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Well. I wish my words just defends myself that it
just wasn't real.
Speaker 8 (02:32):
But that's not the.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
Way it be.
Speaker 7 (02:34):
Donald Trump lies every time he opens his mouth. We've
been screaming, Joe Biden repeatedly lied about this. This just
furthers the cynicism that people have about politics and and
and that cynicism strengthens Trump because Trump can just say
I'm not a unique threat. Everybody does this if I
(02:56):
do something for my kid, my son in law, whatever. Look,
Joe Biden does the same thing. I get it. But
this was a selfish move by Biden, which politically only
strengthens Trump. It's just deflating.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
But let's hook it all that and give me and
you can't find it, so I can't be called.
Speaker 7 (03:23):
To show.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
To take it well.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
That the CEO of United Healthcare, Brian Thompson, it is
being reported as of about a moment ago, a minute ago,
was fatally shot in Manhattan outside of his hotel room,
just before he was supposed to speak at a conference
(03:52):
as the CEO of United Healthcare. More when we know it,
whether that was a personal issue or something related to
his professional capacity. Of course, it's Manhattan, so it could
just be that some dude was bored. The trial of
Daniel Penney wrapping up. He's the United States marine who's subdued.
(04:18):
The thug who happened to be black, who was terrorizing
the New York subway and threatening to kill everyone on
the subway. News now emerging. I don't know how it
took this long to get out that Jordan Neely, the thug,
the turd, who he subdued and then died as part
(04:38):
of this submission, was out on an arrest bond for
having beaten up a woman on the subway. Oh yes,
remember they told us what a nice guy he was.
He was of diminished capacity. He'll kill you just as
dead as the next one. Today is forty seven days
(05:00):
till Donald Trump becomes the forty seventh president. Wall Street
Journal reported last night that Ron DeSantis is being considered,
if not the decision already made, to be the replacement
for Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense. Now that doesn't
(05:22):
necessarily doesn't necessarily mean that it's true. I suppose we'll
find out in good time. Why can't Pete Hegseth be
the Secretary of Defense? Well, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska is
refusing to vote for him. Republican Susan Collins of Maine
(05:47):
refusing to vote for him. You're going to hear those
two names a lot. Murkowski, You'll recall who claims to
be a Republican and we count her in our caucus.
But Murkowski is the one who lost her father was
the big prominent politician. She lost her primary, her Republican
(06:08):
primary years ago, and ran in November, and just like
drunk Dad in Beaumont, she managed to get the Democrats
to vote for her, and so she picked up a
small percentage of Republicans and all the Democrats. So she
won and went back and claims she's a Republican, but
(06:31):
in fact she wasn't supported by the Republican base. She's
been a problem ever since. Susan Collins of Maine is
certainly no conservative, and so again we tend to count
her in our caucus, but she's going to be a problem.
Senator John Curtis refusing to vote for Pete haig Seth.
(06:53):
Lindsey Graham refusing to vote refusing to vote for Pete
haig Seth. And you may say, well, why, because Lindsey
Graham masturbates to war and Pete Hegseth does not want
more war, and Lindsey Graham is going to get his
porn one way or another. Mitch McConnell refusing to vote
for Pete Hegseth, and John Thune, the new Senate majority leader,
(07:15):
refusing to vote for Pete Haigseth, which means there would
be more if a vote is held. If Thune is
openly opposing hegseeth, there will be others who will fall
in line. They do not report to Donald Trump. That
is not the person who can do them the most
good or ill. It is John Thune committee assignments favors done.
(07:41):
It is an old boys club. They have some women
in it, but it's an old boys club and they
are clubby and they will do what John Thune, the
new Majority leader, wants them to do, just as they
did for Mitch McConnell. We're going to have some serious,
serious problems with the United States Senate over the coming years,
(08:01):
and again in two years, we're going to have to
primary as many of them as possible. There is a
movement gaining a lot of steam behind the scenes to
replace John Cornyn. Now, replacing John Cornyn unites enough people
to win an election, problem becomes who is that candidate.
(08:23):
If it's Ken Paxton and there is a ground swell
behind Ken Paxton, one and one candidate only, it's possible
to do it. The problem is there's going to be
a lot of people across the country who will name
themselves Texts or Freedom or Sam Houston or Davy Crockett
or whatever. They may literally change their names. There's a
(08:44):
lot of these guys. They'll be constitutionalists, there'll be secessionists.
They'll be this, they'll be this. There'll be a lot
of people who will want to run, who won't raise
one dollar and can't win. It'll be mad everybody doesn't
support them. But if it's just Ken Paxton, we can
beat Cornick and.
Speaker 9 (08:57):
You listen to this season radio Michael Bare.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Did I ever tell you what Billy gibbons business card says?
I met Billy Gibbons in about two thousand and five ish,
might have been a little before at Downing Street, Kirby
and West timer a cigar lounge. Say, very cool Garland,
(09:28):
and he said, here, take my card. Took his card.
I didn't look at it right when I took it.
He walked away and said, Billy Gibbons on one side.
On the flip side friend of Eric Clapton. He didn't
you give a phone number, per se, It just said
(09:51):
friend of Eric Clefton. I asked Crockett what he learned
in school yesterday. I asked Crockett what he learned in
school today? He said, apparently not enough because I had
to go back tomorrow. A friend of mine met a
girl at the bar and she said, would you like
me to show you a good time? And he said yeah.
(10:15):
She said, all right, we'll come outside with me. They
got outside, she ran one hundred meters in less than
thirteen seconds.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
BO.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
Why did Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer not become the valedictorian?
He went down in history. Mattress mack set to get
open heart surgery this coming Tuesday. No, unfortunately, that one's
(10:51):
not a joke. It's true. Our dear beloved friend, James
mack Ingveil needs your prayers because this Tuesday he will,
in fact, he will, in fact have an open heart surgery.
(11:13):
He has been shopping doctors. Mac as you may or
may not know, has a passion for medicine. It's very
interested in it. He and Bud Frasier, the famous heart
doctor who trained under DeBakey, have had a long standing friendship.
(11:36):
I think Texas Heart Institute. He and his wife Linda
at the Westwood Country Club have funded a number of
initiatives and I think probably some professorial chairs and various
things with regard to medicine in our community. It's a
subject of great interest to him, as you know, he's
(11:58):
a survivor. I think they as of yesterday, he said
they had decided on the doctor. That's a big deal.
You know. You you you order the wrong pair of
underwear and get it wrong, you can always go back
to fruit of the loom or whatever that is. But
(12:18):
when it comes to a person who's going to literally
lay open your chest and fondle your heart and put
you back together again, you want to get that right.
And so that it turns out will be Methodist doctor
Gerald Lowry. I mentioned that because I am a believer
(12:41):
in specificity in prayer, and so if you would keep
doctor gerald Lowry the l Owe Roy in your prayers,
I would well, I would certainly appreciate that. And no pressure, Doc,
It's just Mattress Mac, Mattress Mac. I mean, you know,
just treat it like any other at bat. You know,
(13:07):
you just go in there and do your best. Just
know that now your name has been mentioned. Eat a
good breakfast that day, Make sure you get a good
night's sleep, make sure you're sufficiently hydrated. You know what
I'm saying. Wear are your comfortable shoes that day? No pressure.
(13:30):
But this is Mattress mac here. This is kind of
a big deal. And I said, I was just talking
to him, praying with him yesterday, and I said, do
you mind if I announced it on the air or
would you prefer I keep it quiet. Of course, it's
your choice, because our people would like to know so
(13:51):
that they could pray for you. And he said, you
absolutely can. Thank you for asking any to love me.
If you could tell them that nothing would make me
feel better, then for them to come in and buy furniture.
I said, I will do just that. I will do that.
(14:14):
And he said, tell them I do appreciate their prayers.
If they're not the praying type, they're good wishes. They're
well wishes. So if you find yourself wanting to write
a little handwritten it doesn't have to be, you know,
a handwritten note goes so so far. My boys know
that I love this, and they they absolutely own me
(14:34):
with this issue. But when I'm doing something, they'll for
all the we don't buy cards, they make them. But
it may just be a handwritten note. I mean, it's
always just hey, hey, dad, you know this is what
I want you to know. And this was Michael and
then they date it, and I keep all of them.
They make fun of them, they make fun of me.
(14:54):
I keep all of them in a little drawer where
I dress every morning, and me when any is the
time when I'm just needing a little pick me up
as I'm getting ready that day, and I'll dig in
there and whatever I pull out first, and it will
be one of those notes in their children's chicken scratch
from when they were seven or eight or seventeen for
(15:15):
that matter. Neither one of them is going to win
handwriting awards, but it comes from the heart and that
boy that goes a long long way. Apparently doctor Lowry
was trained by doctor de Bakey, as was Bud Fraser.
My guess is Bud Fraser had some influence on which
(15:37):
doctor they finally went with, because I know they had
talked to Saint Luke's and also to this doctor Gerald
Lowry at Methodists to find the right doctor. But I
think good things are in store. You know, none of
us has promised tomorrow, and we have to live each
day for the moment. And I'm certainly not ready to
(16:00):
let go of Mac, and I know you're not as well.
And Houston doesn't want to but I don't think that
Mac has any regrets. I'll tell you that that's not
a fellow that said I'll wait till I'm retired or
I'll wait till this is perfect. I mean, that's a
guy that strings together a lot of today's that creates,
at the end of it quite some legacy. And you
(16:24):
know that that's that's a stalwart, that's something too, that's
something to be extraordinarily proud of. So please keep Mattress
Mac in your prayers and doctor Gerald Lowry, who will
perform that procedure which will occur on Tuesday, And as
soon as I know the results that he has come
(16:46):
out of surgery, I will obviously share that with you.
And oh yeah, he'll be answering phones on them, he'll
do TV interviews, and I guarantee you when he comes out,
he'll still be woozy. He'll still be in that goofy
gown they put you in where your stuff's dangling around.
He won't even care. He might you know what, he
might have had him roll in a sealypostrophedic or whatever and
(17:11):
say and slap the bed and say, just got them.
It's bed. It's bed, but it's comfortable hospital bed is
not worry. Come, I got one of these sleep great tonight.
Come come, come by a gallery furniture and oh yeah, absolutely,
And this is his big time of the year. You know.
The thing that you know how you know this is
this can't be put off because it was originally going
(17:32):
to be today and they were in their last round
of meetings yesterday, and so I told him, I said, Mac,
I'm not gonna be able to come see you. I've
got pretty I've got bronchittas, pneumonia whatever. Mary Tellyboden said
I have, and she's got my doctor. She know my
wife sat up with so many drugs and nebulizers and
(17:55):
steroids and everything. Problem with steroids as you can't sleep.
But anyway, I said, I can't come by there. I
don't want to do that to you because I don't
you don't need to get And he said, no, No, that's okay,
that's okay. So it was originally going to be today.
It's gonna be but you know it's serious because this
is his heaviest time of year. But I believe he
is at the store today if you want to go
(18:16):
by to see it.
Speaker 9 (18:17):
Yeah, the girls all get pretty at closing time when
you're listening to the Michael Berry Show and it keeps
sitting up lot of same.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
You know, when that shot and just like that, it's
Mattress mack with it scarlet. How are you feeling?
Speaker 8 (18:39):
I feel pretty good. You know. I was very tired
there for a couple of weeks, but uh, they put
me on all these man so I feel better.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
Now.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
What kind of meds they got you on?
Speaker 8 (18:51):
Every med knowing the man? In fact, I was late
listen to Michael Berry Show today because I'm trying to
figure out which one I'm supposed to take and not take.
I got some procedure today, so I'm taking a course
in chemistry.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
I think, what do they what they got you doing today?
Speaker 8 (19:08):
They're doing something where they put dye down. Your things
are arteries to see. There's no arvy cat blocking. So
if they go and do the open heart surgery, that
everything proceeds smoothly. So today I'll from one to three,
I'll be in La La Land getting all these checkout checkups.
Speaker 2 (19:30):
That that whole contrast process is so fascinating. Whoever came
up with that was a genius. Ramon said, if you
could please not use the word dyet instead use coloring.
It's not a good time to be using.
Speaker 8 (19:39):
That one coloring. Okay, So uh.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Tell me how you were feeling before. How did you
know this was not just exhaustion fatigue? What made you realize, okay,
I might need to get this checked.
Speaker 8 (19:57):
Well, I was coughing every night, and I wasn't sick.
I was coughing a lot every night when I laid down,
and then it got to where when I laid down
in my temper peegue, I couldn't hardly breathe and had
trouble breathing. So I went to the doctor. They did
(20:17):
a couple of tests, and then they kept getting worse
and worse. And then they started doing all these tests
and figured out, I need to have his open heart
circuit to get these leaflets and whatever they are in
your heart that opened the door and let the blood in.
The close the door let the blood out. They aren't
working properly.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
So he said that you had obviously a great deal
of blocking.
Speaker 8 (20:45):
I don't know if it's blocking or not, but the
blood wasn't when the heart pumps, the blood wasn't pumping
back out because the leaflets weren't opening and closing properly interesting?
Speaker 2 (20:57):
So that's did you did you did you expect that
this was an open heart surgery correction or did you
think you know this is going to be a minor thing.
Speaker 8 (21:11):
Well, I'd hope that was one of those things they
could go up through your arm or groin and do
it that way without having to crack me open. But
it didn't work out. So I have lots of confidence
in the doctor down at the medical center, and lots
of confidence the Good Lord. Hopefully everything will come out
all right.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
Oh, I'm sure it's going to be absolutely fine. It
he tell you how long the procedure would.
Speaker 8 (21:32):
Take, thinking about four hours?
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Did Ramon wants to know if you're going to have
a siaypostropedic or your bed of choice rolled in there
so you can get a good night's sleep after your surgery.
Speaker 8 (21:46):
I'm certainly thinking about it. If the If they'll let me,
I'll bring in one of my own adjustment matches because
hospital beds are not very comfortable.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
No, they're not. Have they told you how long they
expect you to be in the hospital.
Speaker 8 (22:01):
A week?
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Oh? Wow, I can't see you sitting in there for
a week.
Speaker 8 (22:07):
I can't either, But then and they said I need
to be at home for four or five weeks. They
told me yesterday I can still start going back to
work the second week, so that's better.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Well, you feel most at home at Gallery Furniture as
long as you say that you got comfortable places to sit.
Speaker 8 (22:23):
I do. I'm just forbidden from lifting any self as
their recliners.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
So it's gonna be Laurie. I'm told it's Laurie. Some
of the doctors that work with him email me. I
thought it was Lowry, but apparently his name is Laurie H.
And is are there any other doctors involved?
Speaker 8 (22:42):
Well, you know, my friend doctor Fraser at Saint Luke's
has been very instrumental in helping me get all this
treatment for my various heart problems over the years. So
I want to give a shout out of my friend
doctor bus Fraser.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
And then.
Speaker 8 (22:59):
Doctor Lowrie will do the surgery on Tuesday. So looking
forward to a good result and getting back in the
saddle once again.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Well, we're all looking forward to a good result and
you getting back in the saddle. And we have encouraged
folks to come by and share the good wishes for you.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
You are.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
You are an important part of this community and have
been for a very long time, and we want the
absolute best for you and yours. I would be remiss
if I didn't ask you. I know, as a former
member of the National Championship University of Texas Longhorn team.
Even though you say you didn't play, you were on
the team. We're in a uniform. How you felt after
Saturday's game against Texas A and M.
Speaker 8 (23:45):
Well, it was a good game. You know, Texas has
a tremendous defense, and I would did some somebody tell
me that the team's the best defense win the national championship?
So Texas is on a roll. They've got a great team,
and hatsas A and M. They had a good season,
much better than expected. But Texas came out on top
of that game. And we'll see what happened in Georgia
(24:07):
this week. Hook them horns.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
Yes, indeed, all right, Matt, get well soon.
Speaker 8 (24:12):
Thanks Mitch. Very appreciate having me take care of it
my brother.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Yes, sir, Well there you have it. That is uh,
you know it. Every day every day I get emails,
so hey, would you please pray for my mother? She's
going in for open heart surgery today, Hey, would you
please pray for my husband, my wife, my son for
(24:38):
that matter, From gunshot wounds to open heart surgery, to
cancer treatments to anything else. That's the reality, and medical
care is one of those things we take for granted
until you are in the throes of it. I am
fortunate to have a wife who cares deeply about me,
because all day long, she's bringing me different pills. Right
(25:04):
now and I don't I don't have to fool with it.
I can focus on the show. A friend of mine said,
you don't sound like you're sick, and I'm not sick.
I don't get sick, but I don't want to be sick.
I'm being treated for whatever the hell it was, which
is minor compared to what Mac is going through. But
I'll tell you what it's a It's a humbling feeling.
You know, when you're Mac, you're king of the world.
(25:26):
You do anything you want. You climb up that tower
if you want to, you can get up in your
in your whatever, that big military tank thing he drives
around and when it's raining, you can, you know, send
a million dollars here to a million dollars there. But
at the end of the day, the Lord is looking
over us, and God's in charge, and we got to
take care of our health. And it's a humbling thing.
(25:48):
Don't press for our friend.
Speaker 10 (25:49):
Mac at least chairs keep rolling around. Damn it all right,
This is Mark Chestnut. Enjoy are of talk.
Speaker 5 (26:01):
Radio, and now from the bubbling heart of where Cajun
Country meet Cowboy Country. Through his blood flow a mix
of petrochemicals, small water and conservatism.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
Now broadcasting this ignorance all the way.
Speaker 5 (26:21):
From New York to Ergon with a heart pulsing in Texas,
ladies and gentlemen, Mister Michael Berra.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Well, we haven't talked about Colony Ridge in a while.
The head of it was in jail in Waller County
for a little while and was let out early. But
we go back to Liberty County, which does not have
an animal control division because apparently they didn't have a
(26:58):
stray dog problem until now. A pack of stray dogs
has been terrorizing residents of Colony Ridge. Before you think
this is nothing, you'll have to see the videos that
go with the stories that have been filed by local
two KPRC. The Sheriff's office is telling residents to shoot
(27:19):
the dogs if they have to defend themselves. And I
know that dog lovers are probably the most obnoxious group
of people out there. But if a stray dog is
terrorizing me or anyone around me, they're being put down
in a second, and you can sit and run to
peta or whatever else you want. That is what has
to happen. But here we have it. Here are the
(27:40):
cultural problems that come with illegal alien communities and the
ramshackle shanties they've built, and the fraud that's going on.
The first story from KPRC TV.
Speaker 11 (28:02):
This is video taken on the road fifty two oh
three in Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
The fact that we have to put up with this
is ridiculous.
Speaker 11 (28:11):
This woman, who asked not to be identified, says more
than two dozen straight dogs roam the neighborhood. She says
it was her cousin who could be heard screaming for
his life while being attacked right outside their door on
Thanksgiving Day. She says the same dogs also tried to
(28:31):
attack the paramedics who came to see about her cousin.
I don't have a life, I can't go out.
Speaker 1 (28:35):
I'm constantly scared about leaving my house, coming home at night.
I have to stay in my car thirty thirty five
minutes to make sure that these dogs are not anywhere arouse.
Speaker 11 (28:43):
She says she's only lived here since May and already
wants to sell her house. This is the sand of
the woman says her cousin was wearing when he was attacked.
As you can see, it is all tewed up. They
say the situation has gotten so out of hand that
they've had to take matters into their own hands and
hire someone to put these traps, hoping to make this
problem a thing of the past. Emily Curtis, who lives
(29:04):
right across the street, says no one can even walk
their own pets because of stray dogs.
Speaker 12 (29:09):
I was attacked and it was completely unprovoked, Curtis says.
Speaker 11 (29:14):
She was trying to go to work on Thanksgiving Day
when she suddenly found herself trying to ward off around
eight relentless caneines.
Speaker 12 (29:21):
But I feel every bite, I remember every ripping of
the dog's heads, and I just thank god that a
neighbor came out and got them off of me, because
I may have been dead.
Speaker 11 (29:38):
Curtis says, no one is safe.
Speaker 12 (29:40):
The same dogs that have attacked me have attacked Amazon,
drivers have attacked Terminex employees on the same street.
Speaker 11 (29:51):
And investigator with the Liberty County Sheriff's Office says, while
the county does not have an animal control division, deputies
do respond to dog bite nine calls, and if its
owner can't be found, or if it's astray, then they'll
call Dayton's or the City of Liberty's animal control the problem.
They say, the city's animal control officials may not be
able to come out after hours.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
We also reached.
Speaker 11 (30:13):
Out to several Liberty County commissioners, but so far have
not heard back.
Speaker 12 (30:17):
I'm just really disappointed that nobody's there to protect and
serve us.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Gosh, if only a little bit of that bribe money
had been dedicated toward an animal control officer and maybe
a dog pound, which you didn't need before. HPRC TV
with an update on that story.
Speaker 5 (30:43):
It's a horrible situation.
Speaker 11 (30:45):
As disturbing as this is to look at, people who
live in Liberty County say, the issue with packs of
vicious stray dogs attacking almost any and everybody extends far
beyond these recent caught on camera.
Speaker 12 (30:58):
Incidents like two and twenty twenty three.
Speaker 10 (31:03):
They've skyrocketed, and you know people are getting big.
Speaker 11 (31:07):
Amanda Jordan, who volunteers to foster and rescue animals in
Liberty County, says about six months ago she lost five
of her own pet cats to Conniving k nines.
Speaker 10 (31:17):
They never left the yard, and there was a pack
of dogs that lived down.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
The street and they came like over a two.
Speaker 10 (31:24):
Week period and killed every single one of them, and
the cops said there was nothing we could.
Speaker 8 (31:28):
Do about it.
Speaker 11 (31:29):
This after, she says she tried to raise the issue
last year in Commissioner's Court to county leaders.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Nothing has changed.
Speaker 11 (31:37):
Our first story aired Monday night, showing you images of
serious bite wounds two people who live in the Colony
Ridge area of Cleveland suffered on Thanksgiving Day. Since then,
three KPRC two crews who went to investigate those attacks
saw the issue firsthand. Also being met by aggressive and
possibly rabid dogs.
Speaker 13 (31:57):
Many residents back in twenty to twenty two two in
twenty twenty three that said, my son got bid at
a bus stop by a stray dog, or I walk
out in the morning and I have to carry mace
an issue.
Speaker 11 (32:11):
Texas Humane Legislation Executive Director Shelby Boboski says can only
be changed if county leaders take action, as there is
no animal control division in Liberty County. Now County Judge J. H.
Knight vowing to our coarly peel he's working with other
county leaders to develop a solution. Meanwhile, but Boski encouraging
(32:31):
residents to do their part.
Speaker 13 (32:33):
They need to go to their commissioner court and reach
out to their commissioners and explain the importance.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
You know, this is another great example. Let's let's not
talk about what you're told to do in a situation
like this. Let's go back to the original state of nature.
I live on little plot of land over here before
we have surveyors and all that. You live over on
the on that side of the mountain. Roone lives over
(33:04):
there in an area he kind of hoards and a
bunch of trash on it, but that's his hilar area.
Chad lives in a very tidy area over there. That's
his Japanese background. And so we're all. We're all in
our little sector. And I got a dog that is
my pet dog, and I've domesticated it. And my dog
(33:26):
keeps coming over to your area and terrorizing you. And
you shoot and kill it, follow us to it. If
it wasn't a domesticated dog, if it was any other animal,
that's what you do. So it's very simple. You rather
shoot and kill the dog or you call the deputies
and they come out. You got an un You got
(33:48):
an unleashed dog roaming the territory. It's not that hard.
The deputies take the dog into possession, take it, put
it in a cage at the station. Well, we need
to have meetings and have a comprehensive plan, and we
need to and we need to talk to our elected
officials and we need to come up with a plan
and we need No, you don't take the damn dogs
(34:08):
off the street. It's not hard at all. This this
is a very they create. All its nonsense. Do your job,
get the damn dog off the street. Do you work
for Trey Harris or do you work for the citizens
