Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Till Michael Very Show.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Is on the air.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
And now a totally random week in review from the past.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Take a guess when this was blowing stuff up? Is
it's natural to our manhood? If you got some boy
talking about wanting to transition to be a girl and
you can't figure out because you need to just read
them an article about blowing stuff up. And if that
doesn't get them all fired up, say you know what,
(00:45):
you might be a girl. Go ahead and chop that
thing off. There's probably no hope for you at this point.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
I'm serious law enforcement speaking about what is being investigated
as a possible second attempted assassination of former President Trump.
Speaker 6 (00:59):
At all of course in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Hi's a guy from not here. Get all the way
to Mark to Trump International, realize that president former president
and I sensus golfing and is able to get a
rifle in that vicinity. Is this guy part of a conspiracy?
Is he a long guy?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Keep your eye on the jailhouse camera because I suspect
mister Ryan Roath may not make it. He knows too
many things. This is not what they would like you
to believe it is.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
Multiple reports say that Israel's Mussan spy agency placed explosives
in thousands of Hezbola pages before they detonate.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Majors started exploding all over levin On. They exploded. We
know now in Syria as well. Imagine the discipline you
have to have in your organization to be able to
carry out but we can't. Diversity is our strength. Bull
We couldn't pull that off. The United States Intelligence Services
could not pull that off. No chance, Camroids. Twenty five
(02:01):
years Ramona's worked for this company, never taken a sick
day with a hemorrhoid. You know that's a good point. Well,
we named it gross. What do you mean that's gross?
You ought to be impressed at Goofy bastard was at
work sitting on a hemorrhoid. That's commitment.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
K Kalala.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
That particular week in review was the review of the
week of Friday, September twenty. Number of you have asked
if we're going to do previous years, and we made
we won't do them every day. We just decided to
(02:52):
do it right here at Christmas because Jim came up
with the idea and it seemed like a lot of fun,
but yes, we we also enjoy trying to figure out, okay,
how long ago would that have been. Update on a
story you may have seen in the news. Police have
confirmed the man who tragically fell from the roof of
(03:16):
an eighteenth floor nightclub was not a bouncer Ramot. He
was not. Tomorrow beginning at eleven am, we will head
(03:37):
over when our show is over to eleven, so we
should be there hopefully by eleven thirty. We invite you
to join us where we will wish macwell well wishers
a plenty at Gallery Furniture, six thousand and six North
Freeway between Tidwell and Parker. I think Mac is excited.
(04:01):
You know, Mack loves what he does. That's his ministry,
that's his mission, that's his everything. That's what enables him
to do all the other stuff. And he loves the
response he gets from people. He enjoys it. It's all
consuming for him. He is very excited. He said yesterday
(04:22):
called me yesterday afternoon and he said, I've got food
coming because I had mentioned to him, you know, I
need to figure out something to do with food because
a lot of people don't have control of their schedule.
They don't own their own business. So if people cut
out at eleven or eleven thirty or noon or one,
(04:43):
you know, if they cut out for lunch and they
go over to see Mac by the time they get
there and get back, if they don't eat something when
they're there, they miss their lunch. And for people that
eat lunch, that's a big deal. And he said, don't worry.
I'll take care of food. And yesterday he said, do
you think we can get Big City Wings. You know,
(05:03):
I'd like to hire Big City Wings to add to
our food. And I said absolutely, And I called him
and they said, well, we were going to donate, and
I said, you don't have to donate. Mike said he
would be happy to support y'all. You're a Michael Berry
Show sponsor. There will be other food there, but I
know there will be Big City Wings. And thank you
to Big City Wings for the willingness to do that.
(05:25):
It's a big day in the Michael Berry Show home.
Michael t today turns nineteen on the nineteenth, of course,
the one and only time he will ever get to
do that. And he is home from his exams and
(05:45):
Crockett is finishing up his exams. We we don't do
Christmas on Christmas Morning anymore because we're usually traveling in
terms of gift swapping. So hold on, mom, I don't
know what that is. No, be honest with it looks
(06:07):
like a booger. I don't know what it was. It
was in between the keys and it wouldn't come up. Yeah,
that's it just happens, I guess. Anyway, So we have
with Michael t home from college. Some of you know
what that's like when you got the little one home
from college. How exciting that is. So we, uh, we
did that. We began that process last night. We started
(06:31):
with the stocking stuffers. I love a stocking. A stocking
to me is Christmas, I think because my mom was
really into stockings and it would just be candy. He'd
be little things, right. They didn't have any money, but
she made the most of it, and so you know,
you would look at your stocking and we're like, I
(06:52):
was going to be in your stocking, and I guess
my wife, because she didn't really grow up with Christmas,
she started that process having watched, you know, what my
parents do, and so you know, she got a little
customized stocking. His mine still says ah bah bah, she's Almama.
And then there's Michael t and Crockett and for some reason,
(07:12):
George has a stocking and I don't know why. I
really don't. Somewhat unrelated, we switched over from Landman, which
I thought was wonderful, and we started watching Lioness this week,
and that Lioness was the moment where Taylor Sheridan jumped
the shark if he didn't with Yellowstone. Do you know
(07:34):
how Yellowstone ends? If I told you, have you seen it?
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Yeah? Well?
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Whatever, I mean, if that's you know, at some point
it goes to their head and you wonder, you know,
how's a guy that is such a font of creativity
and awesomeness, how's this going to end? Because you're not
going to able to ride that high forever? Well here,
let me let me shoot myself in the foot with
something stupid, and that's how he did. I haven't seen it,
but I know what, I haven't even been interested in Yellowstone.
(08:02):
I think it just went too long. Yeah, I think
it just went too long. But this Lioness, Oh my goodness,
it's like Disney took over. It's like Disney took over
Red Dawn and made it all girls. They got this
cute Zoe Saldana. I guess she's she plays a woman
(08:24):
who's Puerto Rican, uh, and you get to see her
necket a lot. And but even that, it's just sort
of sort of like, it's so contracted. It's it's it's
a girl power kind of Disney style thing, and it's
it's so far beyond the pale. My wife said, shall
we just turn it off? Because I was complaining constant. No,
I'm giving you my real time review. Ebert's not available.
(08:47):
I'm getting to be grateful. Ramon, Why don't snowmen like
carrot cake because it tastes like buggers to them? He
was on this day in nineteen eighty at the movie
(09:13):
nine to five Air where Dolly Pardon showed her acting chops.
Sure it's a kitch park, but she nailed it. Of course,
she sings the theme song. She used her fingernails as
(09:36):
an instrument in song All Legit, I won't really happen.
Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda. What was the name of their
boss that was central casting for the boss? Huh, mister Hart?
What was his real name? Dabney Coleman? You nailed that one. Wow,
(10:03):
he's the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical Bigot's funny how that
those lines, how they rolled off. Dan Crenshaw had a
very bad night last night. He had a public meltdown
on Twitter. It all started with this tweet from Nick Sorder.
(10:28):
Nick Sorder wrote, DC sources told me that Dan Crenshaw
is spearheading the effort to get a pay raise for Congress.
Last week, when he was asked about his stock trading,
Crenshaw wined that members of Congress have not had a
pay raise since two thousand and nine. Crenshaw almost got
his way with a pay increase for members plus benefits
(10:51):
being included in today's massive spending boondoggle. Recently, Crenshaw even said, quote,
you have no way to better yourself as a congressman
end quote without being able to trade stocks. That's insane.
This guy is responsible for loads of the garbage we
(11:13):
see being thrown into spending bills, all for his own benefit.
Here is the audio post to the tweet he's talking
about Roman. Do you have that? It's clip number five
oh one from Jim Yep. This is where and by
the way, yesterday Joe Biden came out and said we
(11:36):
got to stop the stock trading by members of Congress.
It was a shot at Nancy Pelosi, who's trade stocks
with inside information. There is the widely understood belief that
congressmen are being briefed on things that the public doesn't know.
They're making laws on things that could make or break
a company. They shouldn't be trading stocks on that. It's
just that simple. If you want to be an active
(11:58):
day trader, don't be in Congress. And the flip is
also true, But this was the statement that got Dan
Crenshaw in trouble two weeks ago.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Well for a ban on congress members trading stocks.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Yeah, I mean this is like number one thousand on
my priority list of things to care about. This is
one of those stupid things that I've been dragged through
the mud on. You know how much funny I've ever
had in the stock market, about twenty thousand dollars, and
I've been dragged through the mud on this, as if
like there's some insider trading. I sent a I just
sent a letter to Fox News demand, you know, a
(12:31):
threatening letter from my lawyers threatening them with defamation because
they because Jesse Waters had basically insinuated that I was
insider trading. Of course it's not true. He'd be more
surprised how much little we information we have. This is
one of those bills that like some of course, yeah
people support it. Yeah, sure, okay, who cares? Because I
(12:52):
don't have any time parely if anything in the market anyway.
Are there a couple of cases like in where in
Nancy Pelosi has some very suspicious timing of her trades. Yeah,
that has happened I, but nobody else can point any
other examples out, So sure, yeah, why not don't let
(13:13):
us trade stocks?
Speaker 3 (13:14):
About?
Speaker 1 (13:14):
How about how about we'll just keep whipping ourselves. How
about we don't make any money either, how about like
just cut our paychecks. Haven't gotten a pay raise since
two thousand and eight, even a cola increase. So yeah,
actually no, yeah, this is a great idea. Let's make
Congress a place where only the millionaires can actually afford
to do the job. This is a wonderful idea. Let's
(13:35):
just keep let's just keep doing that because and then
some some it's always some member right who like who
senses the populist energy, and then and then mirrors believing
that This is what's going to help me connect with
the people, because what do the people want? Well, I
mean they want an easy button. All my problems will
be solved if there's if there's no stock trading, all
(13:57):
my problems will be solved if there's term limits.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
But if you think about any of these things for
five whole minutes, you know you might quickly come to
a different conclusion. Now again, what I vote for, Yeah, sure,
who cares? Who cares? It doesn't doesn't matter to me
because I don't have any funny to put in the
stock market.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
So after it was revealed by Nick Soretur that Crenshaw,
he says, was the one pushing to try to get
Congressman a pay raise, which ended up in the bill
which was only killed at the last minute yesterday, Crenshaw responded, yeah,
or maybe you're a he spells these words out e
fing lying piece of shi because I'm not even on
(14:41):
the yes list for the Whip team, never have been.
But hey, whatever gets you, pathetic bottom feeders, your clickbait,
you efing in cells. So cat Turd, who's gotten close
to Trump over the last couple of years and has
a massive following, wrote yeah, get it right. Dan Crenshaw
(15:02):
is the America last Ukraine First War pig who doesn't
need a raise because of all the money he makes
when he miraculously became a stock expert since joining Congress.
Grenshaw responded to that anonymous cowards like cat Turd talking
will say crap without any evidence. I'm used to it. Sorry,
(15:25):
I was fighting, Sorry guy, I was fighting the wars
that little bitches like you would never dare to. One
of us has actually served this country and continues to
while losers like you make money being trolls on social media.
I live in Atascacita, just outside Houston. If you think
I'm rich, you're an efing idiot. The people getting rich
(15:46):
off politics are the influencers like cat Turd selling their
platforms to the highest bidder. Sorry to break it to y'all,
that's the truth, to which cat Turn doubled back with lol. Yeah,
Dan really brought the hammer down on me, and then
a laughing emoji. Except everything he said was a lie
(16:08):
and why he's getting roasted all night. Number one, I'm
an army vet. Number two, I haven't been anonymous in
years because remember.
Speaker 7 (16:17):
He was.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Exposed. People say, you know this is who he is,
and they revealed his address and he was worried about it.
Number three, I've never taken a dime from any political
party in my life. Number four he lied about not
having money. He's a millionaire, and then he closed with
enjoy the ratio. I was not on the Twitter machine
(16:42):
last night. My wife and I were watching that stupid Lioness,
and so I had put my phone away. And when
I got up this morning my emails, I can scan
the subject line and see if something has happened or not.
And it was all Crenshaw, Crenshall. Crenshall melted down. Oh
(17:03):
my god, you see what happened to Crenshaw. Do you
see what Crenshall did? Can you believe what Crenshall said?
Can you believe?
Speaker 8 (17:09):
So?
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I knew there was something, and then that's when I
dug in and saw the late night melt down and
anger fest.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
It is.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
It's not his finest moment. How about that, we will
say it is not his finest moment. Coming up in
thirty minutes, a woman who along with her husband was
a January sixth did a prison sentence over the January
sixth Senate frame up. And now they've come out and
they're now that they're out, and they're they're offering a
(17:43):
road to recovery for people who serve prison time, you know,
to help them get reintegrated into life.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Michael, almost god.
Speaker 8 (18:02):
She can talk on the phone at a town hall meeting,
she'll call you mother just in her greeting.
Speaker 9 (18:12):
And she never reveals what's beneath that crown weed.
Speaker 8 (18:18):
She acts like a child, but she's the calm griswoman.
Speaker 10 (18:22):
To me, I'm Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee.
Speaker 11 (18:25):
She spoke at Jacka's funeral with a big resolution. She'll cut, carve,
destroy her our own constitution. The jets sat around just
as long as it is freeing. Yeah, she acts like
a clown, but she's the can Gris woman.
Speaker 10 (18:47):
It certainly seems ridiculous.
Speaker 12 (18:49):
Oh, she's so proud of herself.
Speaker 9 (18:56):
She can't wait there all day.
Speaker 8 (19:00):
She's been called.
Speaker 10 (19:01):
Ile hall and I believe that my facts are accurate.
Speaker 12 (19:08):
And she acts like a queen. And she dresses in
ill green like she's commit the from green.
Speaker 9 (19:21):
And if you work for her, she may make you cry,
and she'll cuss you and hit you and ask mussa die,
mus I die.
Speaker 11 (19:31):
But you'll play the old race card.
Speaker 12 (19:34):
Of course, Slavery.
Speaker 8 (19:37):
Blame it all along thol white Man.
Speaker 9 (19:39):
She's our Congresswomanly, I have a.
Speaker 10 (19:42):
Sense of humor and I believe in the First Amendment.
But frankly, I consider this insulting, and so did many
other It was not humorous, it was demeanings, very offensive. Well,
let me just say this.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
I am outraged, Thank you very much. City Council unanimously
approved a resolution to rename Terminal E after Sheila Jackson
Lee humph So if you know a member of Houston
City Council, they were part of this. Let's go back
(20:19):
to twenty seventeen where she made national news because she
wanted to be in first class but her seat wasn't
for first class. She bullied the staff at United Airlines
to bump a first class passenger so that she could
(20:41):
take that passenger's seat, and when the passenger complained to
the media, well, oh, she jack she played the race card,
because that's what she did. The story from Inside Edition.
Speaker 13 (20:56):
The airline passenger who says she was bumped from her
seat make room for a congresswoman is speaking exclusively to
Inside Edition.
Speaker 6 (21:04):
I said I want my seat back.
Speaker 13 (21:06):
Teacher Jean Marie Simon says she had booked a first
class seat on a United Airlines flight from Houston to Washington,
d C. She showed us her boarding pass United first
Class Seat one A, but a United gate agent had
a surprise. As Simon waited to bore.
Speaker 6 (21:22):
She said, you've been wiped from the system. I can't
even find your reservation.
Speaker 13 (21:25):
The seat was given to a local congresswoman, representative, Sheila
Jackson Lee. Simon ended up with a seat in Economy plus.
Speaker 6 (21:33):
I went up to the front of the plane and
took a picture of Miss Jackson Lee, and I turned
to the flight attendant who had brought her on the plane,
and I said, I know who's in my seat, and
I know why.
Speaker 13 (21:42):
You believe, without a doubt, you were removed from your
first class seat, which was your seat, to make room
for a congresswoman.
Speaker 6 (21:50):
Yes, I do.
Speaker 13 (21:51):
The incident is making headlines.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Texas Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee at the center of a.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Controversy tonight involving United Airlines.
Speaker 13 (21:58):
The congresswoman said she had nothing to do with Simon
being bumped, and added, since this was not any fault
of mine, The way the individual continued to act appeared
to be upon reflection because I was an African American woman,
seemingly an easy target. How do you respond when you
hear Congresswoman Lee say she was targeted because she was
(22:18):
African American and this has to do with ill racism.
Speaker 6 (22:22):
My beief is not with miss Jackson Lee. My concern
is with United. We need to know as United customers,
as frequent flyers, that we're going to be treated with
a modicum of respect and courtesy every time we get
on a flight.
Speaker 13 (22:35):
A United spokesperson said the airline did try to apologize,
but the teacher says that never happened.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
She was known for doing this when Continental Airlines was
looking for a bailout, the airline industry was struggling in
Congress was considering a bailout, the word got Tonental Airlines.
I know this because the Director of Government of Fairs
(23:04):
for Continental Airlines at the time told me directly that
Sheila Jackson Lee convened a meeting of the Congressional Black Caucus,
that is, the members of Congress who gather on the
basis of all being black, okay, and they were trying
(23:27):
to jack up the airlines that if we give them
a bailout. We need to make sure we can always
fly free first class. Continental Airlines was at the time
still a Houston based airline, and if you remember what
it was like back in those days, Continental Airlines was
(23:50):
as Houston a company as there was. Yeah, there was
Cleveland and there was Newark, but Houston was Continental's head orders.
I think it was twenty something thousand employees. They had
the office building downtown that Bethoon signed as part of
Lanier's renewal of downtown. It's the single largest vendor with
(24:14):
the City of Houston government. They were part of the
major construction of the new airline terminals. International flights all
of a sudden started going from Houston to foreign countries,
which you couldn't do before. In the past. You had
to depend on whether you go in west or east.
You'd have to stop in La or San Francisco, or
(24:34):
you'd have to stop in New York or Atlanta. And
now putting Houston back on the map. And here they
were struggling and Shila Jackson Lee was holding a meeting
that they weren't supposed to find out about it, but
they did. Where she's going, Hey, if we give them
all the taxpayers money. Basically, she wanted her own private airline.
(24:56):
So how very appropriate that this woman who was so
such a complete and utter bitch to so many people
in so many ways, but especially on the airline, that
these pitily little city councilmen would now be coming back
(25:17):
and saying we should honor her. And I read one
of the newspapers this morning and says she was a
fierce advocate for Houston.
Speaker 13 (25:25):
She was not.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
I'm tired of hearing this. She was a racist. She
jacked up people for money, she jacked up people for power.
She insulted people, she bullied people, she bullied poor blacks,
She burst into churches to demand that she speaks. She
was an evil, awful human being. And if you name
that terminal for her, shame on you. Myself.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
My name is Mitch Michael Berry genius.
Speaker 10 (26:00):
I'm Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee and I hailed from Houston, Texas.
Speaker 8 (26:06):
I've never seen a clap so hard as you did tonight,
never seen you in the secret Service fights the congress Woman.
I've never seen so many men laugh at you when
you stand catching the camera.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
When it panned, giving hair a chance.
Speaker 8 (26:30):
And I've never seen that jacket bloss or red thing
that you're wearing with the crowd wig on your head
that stuns my eyes?
Speaker 12 (26:38):
What does she get that.
Speaker 8 (26:41):
The congress woman in red?
Speaker 9 (26:48):
He's standing with me.
Speaker 8 (26:51):
When the president speaks, nobody else stands.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Harry writes, Zara Frenshaw's getting destroyed on X tonight. This
was at one o'clock this morning or late last night,
he wrote this, and it is glorious. We're gonna fix
that mistake, like corning. My wife was monstrating today, so
(27:17):
her uterus wanted Taco Bell to calm things down. She
requested a cheesy gordita crunch, nacho fries, and a beefy
five layer of burrito. That's a hungry girl. The beefy
five layer burrito, which I was reluctant to order because
(27:38):
I thought it wasn't real, was packed full of beans.
Stay away. Please pass this on to Ramon. I feel
like he would order the beefy five layer burrito on
a cheap day and he would be disappointed. She looking
out for us, Ramo, you know we haven't done. We
(28:01):
haven't done a signs and wonders in a minute clip
number six O three from Jim Mudd creative director for
The Michael Berry Show. It is uh, this one definitely
calls for it. This one definitely falls for middle school
teacher taking the yearbook photos of students and photoshopping them
(28:24):
onto porn. Yeah, kind of freak.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
It's all the damn money, money in the drugs. It's
just hemp beyond everything. What's it mean? What's it leading to?
I don't know. If you'd have told me twenty years ago,
i'd see children walking the streets of our Texas towns
with the green hair, the bones in their noses, and
(28:49):
it flat out wouldn't have bleak signs and wonders.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
But I think once you quit here in sir and ma'am,
the rest of them to follow.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Oh, it's the tide. It's the It is not the
one one signs and wonders, Sir Mam.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Master Falts signs and wonders.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
It's the visual size wonder, signs and wonders.
Speaker 7 (29:23):
The former Louisville school teacher accused of photo shopping students
photos onto other images of child porn is now pleading guilty.
Speaker 5 (29:31):
But while Jordan Fouts is admitting to the crimes, he's
not exactly happy with the sentence that the US government
is suggesting more. Jollice has the very latest in this
freaking use alert.
Speaker 7 (29:41):
Yeah, Myra, John fALS is now pleading guilty to seven
separate child sex crimes, including possession and distribution of child pornography,
but the actual written agreement is still in the negotiation phase.
Let me explain. False was a religion teacher and worked
maintenance at Saint Stephen Martyr School in Louisville. By pleading guilty,
he is now admitting to taking students' yearbook photos and
(30:05):
pasting them onto adult and child porn images while he
was working at the school. Some of the victims were
under twelve years old. Well, there is one thing though,
that Foughts is still contesting, and that is the sentencing
part of this agreement. The government is recommending a sentence
of about twenty years. His attorneys say that's too much, though,
and they're still working with prosecutors right now to come
(30:26):
to a different sentencing term. Foughts and his attorneys will
have until March nineteenth to do this, to renegotiate the
terms of this plea. If they don't, then this guilty
plea is pretty much out the window and we're.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Headed to trial.
Speaker 7 (30:38):
But if his attorneys and federal prosecutors do come to
an agreement, Foughts is most certainly headed to prison for
how long we don't know, but he'll have to serve
his entire sentence because there is no parole in the
federal system.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Taking the middle school yearbook of the school where you
teach in Louisville, Kentucky, and taking the faces of those kids,
and they are kids in middle school and photoshopping them
into porn. Something is real wrong with this guy, real wrong.
(31:20):
How screwed up is Houston City government. Well, over the
last year, we've brought you the stories that were actually
brought by Amy Davis of KPRC about Houston Housing Authority
CEO David Northern. You remember they hired some guy from
Chicago to put air conditioning units into the public housing
(31:44):
units and the guy had no clue how to do it,
so the units were falling out, falling in, they weren't
properly attached. The guy admitted he'd never done it. You
go online and he's one of these guys we've all
seen the type that you know, he's a fashion mogul
and probably has a mortgage company and maybe rents out
(32:08):
Lamborghinis by the hour on the weekend, you know the type.
And he's buddies with David Northern, who's the CEO of
the Houston Housing Authority, who is handing business to his
fellow probably fraternity buddies from college. He was allowed to
(32:28):
resign instead of being fired for all the crimes that
he's alleged to have committed. Plus he was given a
two hundred thousand dollars quote unquote settlement. Well, he was suing.
What the hell is that. It's not a severance. He's
not being laid off. It's been exposed all over the
(32:48):
evening news in Houston, Texas that this guy is committing
crime after crime after crime. Well, kprc's Amy Davis points
out he was paid for four f one hundred and
sixty nine hours because the board says there's no record
of him ever taking any time off. Oh okay, so
(33:13):
the guy running every other scheme never took vacation. You
know he did, but he didn't file it. So now
he says, hey, y'all need to pay me for all that.
In addition, as part of his settlement, Houston Housing Authority
will not investigate his corruption and that if any outside
investigations proceed, they will not issue any findings on his culpability.
Speaker 5 (33:37):
So we want to just catch you up here for
a moment. Northern came to Houston as hj's president and
CEO in twenty twenty two, so he was here just
over a little over two years. We uncovered a slew
of questionable contracts and shady deals that he signed, so
he resigned while he was under in this investigation by
the Houston Housing Authority Board. So now were received a
(34:00):
copy of that settlement that the new board approved. We're
going to come back on camera here because it shows
that Northern received six months of pay and time paid
time off. That was a total of mogins.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Cray got it many age a time. Well, it's Amy
Davis's story. It's on ks KPOC coming up. A woman
and her husband were January sixth defendants. They just went
to see President Trump s b that's it, and then
they got ensnared by the trap our federal government held. Well,
they're worried about these people. Once Trump pardons them, what's
(34:34):
their life going to be like they've been in prison.
We'll talk about that coming up.
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Till Michael Very Show.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Is on the air.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
And now a totally random week in review from the past.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Take a guess when this was blowing stuff up? Is
it's natural to our manhood? If you got some boy
talking about wanting to transition to be a girl and
you can't figure out because you need to just read
them an article about blowing stuff up. And if that
doesn't get them all fired up, say you know what,
(00:45):
you might be a girl. Go ahead and chop that
thing off. There's probably no hope for you at this point.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
I'm serious law enforcement speaking about what is being investigated
as a possible second attempted assassination of former President Trump.
Speaker 6 (00:59):
At all of course in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Hi's a guy from not here. Get all the way
to Mark to Trump International, realize that president former president
and I sensus golfing and is able to get a
rifle in that vicinity. Is this guy part of a conspiracy?
Is he a long guy?
Speaker 2 (01:17):
Keep your eye on the jailhouse camera because I suspect
mister Ryan Roath may not make it. He knows too
many things. This is not what they would like you
to believe it is.
Speaker 5 (01:33):
Multiple reports say that Israel's Mussan spy agency placed explosives
in thousands of Hezbola pages before they detonate.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Majors started exploding all over levin On. They exploded. We
know now in Syria as well. Imagine the discipline you
have to have in your organization to be able to
carry out but we can't. Diversity is our strength. Bull
We couldn't pull that off. The United States Intelligence Services
could not pull that off. No chance, Camroids. Twenty five
(02:01):
years Ramona's worked for this company, never taken a sick
day with a hemorrhoid. You know that's a good point. Well,
we named it gross. What do you mean that's gross?
You ought to be impressed at Goofy bastard was at
work sitting on a hemorrhoid. That's commitment.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
K Kalala.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
That particular week in review was the review of the
week of Friday, September twenty. Number of you have asked
if we're going to do previous years, and we made
we won't do them every day. We just decided to
(02:52):
do it right here at Christmas because Jim came up
with the idea and it seemed like a lot of fun,
but yes, we we also enjoy trying to figure out, okay,
how long ago would that have been. Update on a
story you may have seen in the news. Police have
confirmed the man who tragically fell from the roof of
(03:16):
an eighteenth floor nightclub was not a bouncer Ramot. He
was not. Tomorrow beginning at eleven am, we will head
(03:37):
over when our show is over to eleven, so we
should be there hopefully by eleven thirty. We invite you
to join us where we will wish macwell well wishers
a plenty at Gallery Furniture, six thousand and six North
Freeway between Tidwell and Parker. I think Mac is excited.
(04:01):
You know, Mack loves what he does. That's his ministry,
that's his mission, that's his everything. That's what enables him
to do all the other stuff. And he loves the
response he gets from people. He enjoys it. It's all
consuming for him. He is very excited. He said yesterday
(04:22):
called me yesterday afternoon and he said, I've got food
coming because I had mentioned to him, you know, I
need to figure out something to do with food because
a lot of people don't have control of their schedule.
They don't own their own business. So if people cut
out at eleven or eleven thirty or noon or one,
(04:43):
you know, if they cut out for lunch and they
go over to see Mac by the time they get
there and get back, if they don't eat something when
they're there, they miss their lunch. And for people that
eat lunch, that's a big deal. And he said, don't worry.
I'll take care of food. And yesterday he said, do
you think we can get Big City Wings. You know,
(05:03):
I'd like to hire Big City Wings to add to
our food. And I said absolutely, And I called him
and they said, well, we were going to donate, and
I said, you don't have to donate. Mike said he
would be happy to support y'all. You're a Michael Berry
Show sponsor. There will be other food there, but I
know there will be Big City Wings. And thank you
to Big City Wings for the willingness to do that.
(05:25):
It's a big day in the Michael Berry Show home.
Michael t today turns nineteen on the nineteenth, of course,
the one and only time he will ever get to
do that. And he is home from his exams and
(05:45):
Crockett is finishing up his exams. We we don't do
Christmas on Christmas Morning anymore because we're usually traveling in
terms of gift swapping. So hold on, mom, I don't
know what that is. No, be honest with it looks
(06:07):
like a booger. I don't know what it was. It
was in between the keys and it wouldn't come up. Yeah,
that's it just happens, I guess. Anyway, So we have
with Michael t home from college. Some of you know
what that's like when you got the little one home
from college. How exciting that is. So we, uh, we
did that. We began that process last night. We started
(06:31):
with the stocking stuffers. I love a stocking. A stocking
to me is Christmas, I think because my mom was
really into stockings and it would just be candy. He'd
be little things, right. They didn't have any money, but
she made the most of it, and so you know,
you would look at your stocking and we're like, I
(06:52):
was going to be in your stocking, and I guess
my wife, because she didn't really grow up with Christmas,
she started that process having watched, you know, what my
parents do, and so you know, she got a little
customized stocking. His mine still says ah bah bah, she's Almama.
And then there's Michael t and Crockett and for some reason,
(07:12):
George has a stocking and I don't know why. I
really don't. Somewhat unrelated, we switched over from Landman, which
I thought was wonderful, and we started watching Lioness this week,
and that Lioness was the moment where Taylor Sheridan jumped
the shark if he didn't with Yellowstone. Do you know
(07:34):
how Yellowstone ends? If I told you, have you seen it?
Speaker 4 (07:37):
Yeah? Well?
Speaker 2 (07:39):
Whatever, I mean, if that's you know, at some point
it goes to their head and you wonder, you know,
how's a guy that is such a font of creativity
and awesomeness, how's this going to end? Because you're not
going to able to ride that high forever? Well here,
let me let me shoot myself in the foot with
something stupid, and that's how he did. I haven't seen it,
but I know what, I haven't even been interested in Yellowstone.
(08:02):
I think it just went too long. Yeah, I think
it just went too long. But this Lioness, Oh my goodness,
it's like Disney took over. It's like Disney took over
Red Dawn and made it all girls. They got this
cute Zoe Saldana. I guess she's she plays a woman
(08:24):
who's Puerto Rican, uh, and you get to see her
necket a lot. And but even that, it's just sort
of sort of like, it's so contracted. It's it's it's
a girl power kind of Disney style thing, and it's
it's so far beyond the pale. My wife said, shall
we just turn it off? Because I was complaining constant. No,
I'm giving you my real time review. Ebert's not available.
(08:47):
I'm getting to be grateful. Ramon, Why don't snowmen like
carrot cake because it tastes like buggers to them? He
was on this day in nineteen eighty at the movie
(09:13):
nine to five Air where Dolly Pardon showed her acting chops.
Sure it's a kitch park, but she nailed it. Of course,
she sings the theme song. She used her fingernails as
(09:36):
an instrument in song All Legit, I won't really happen.
Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda. What was the name of their
boss that was central casting for the boss? Huh, mister Hart?
What was his real name? Dabney Coleman? You nailed that one. Wow,
(10:03):
he's the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical Bigot's funny how that
those lines, how they rolled off. Dan Crenshaw had a
very bad night last night. He had a public meltdown
on Twitter. It all started with this tweet from Nick Sorder.
(10:28):
Nick Sorder wrote, DC sources told me that Dan Crenshaw
is spearheading the effort to get a pay raise for Congress.
Last week, when he was asked about his stock trading,
Crenshaw wined that members of Congress have not had a
pay raise since two thousand and nine. Crenshaw almost got
his way with a pay increase for members plus benefits
(10:51):
being included in today's massive spending boondoggle. Recently, Crenshaw even said, quote,
you have no way to better yourself as a congressman
end quote without being able to trade stocks. That's insane.
This guy is responsible for loads of the garbage we
(11:13):
see being thrown into spending bills, all for his own benefit.
Here is the audio post to the tweet he's talking
about Roman. Do you have that? It's clip number five
oh one from Jim Yep. This is where and by
the way, yesterday Joe Biden came out and said we
(11:36):
got to stop the stock trading by members of Congress.
It was a shot at Nancy Pelosi, who's trade stocks
with inside information. There is the widely understood belief that
congressmen are being briefed on things that the public doesn't know.
They're making laws on things that could make or break
a company. They shouldn't be trading stocks on that. It's
just that simple. If you want to be an active
(11:58):
day trader, don't be in Congress. And the flip is
also true, But this was the statement that got Dan
Crenshaw in trouble two weeks ago.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Well for a ban on congress members trading stocks.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Yeah, I mean this is like number one thousand on
my priority list of things to care about. This is
one of those stupid things that I've been dragged through
the mud on. You know how much funny I've ever
had in the stock market, about twenty thousand dollars, and
I've been dragged through the mud on this, as if
like there's some insider trading. I sent a I just
sent a letter to Fox News demand, you know, a
(12:31):
threatening letter from my lawyers threatening them with defamation because
they because Jesse Waters had basically insinuated that I was
insider trading. Of course it's not true. He'd be more
surprised how much little we information we have. This is
one of those bills that like some of course, yeah
people support it. Yeah, sure, okay, who cares? Because I
(12:52):
don't have any time parely if anything in the market anyway.
Are there a couple of cases like in where in
Nancy Pelosi has some very suspicious timing of her trades. Yeah,
that has happened I, but nobody else can point any
other examples out, So sure, yeah, why not don't let
(13:13):
us trade stocks?
Speaker 3 (13:14):
About?
Speaker 1 (13:14):
How about how about we'll just keep whipping ourselves. How
about we don't make any money either, how about like
just cut our paychecks. Haven't gotten a pay raise since
two thousand and eight, even a cola increase. So yeah,
actually no, yeah, this is a great idea. Let's make
Congress a place where only the millionaires can actually afford
to do the job. This is a wonderful idea. Let's
(13:35):
just keep let's just keep doing that because and then
some some it's always some member right who like who
senses the populist energy, and then and then mirrors believing
that This is what's going to help me connect with
the people, because what do the people want? Well, I
mean they want an easy button. All my problems will
be solved if there's if there's no stock trading, all
(13:57):
my problems will be solved if there's term limits.
Speaker 5 (13:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
But if you think about any of these things for
five whole minutes, you know you might quickly come to
a different conclusion. Now again, what I vote for, Yeah, sure,
who cares? Who cares? It doesn't doesn't matter to me
because I don't have any funny to put in the
stock market.
Speaker 2 (14:18):
So after it was revealed by Nick Soretur that Crenshaw,
he says, was the one pushing to try to get
Congressman a pay raise, which ended up in the bill
which was only killed at the last minute yesterday, Crenshaw responded, yeah,
or maybe you're a he spells these words out e
fing lying piece of shi because I'm not even on
(14:41):
the yes list for the Whip team, never have been.
But hey, whatever gets you, pathetic bottom feeders, your clickbait,
you efing in cells. So cat Turd, who's gotten close
to Trump over the last couple of years and has
a massive following, wrote yeah, get it right. Dan Crenshaw
(15:02):
is the America last Ukraine First War pig who doesn't
need a raise because of all the money he makes
when he miraculously became a stock expert since joining Congress.
Grenshaw responded to that anonymous cowards like cat Turd talking
will say crap without any evidence. I'm used to it. Sorry,
(15:25):
I was fighting, Sorry guy, I was fighting the wars
that little bitches like you would never dare to. One
of us has actually served this country and continues to
while losers like you make money being trolls on social media.
I live in Atascacita, just outside Houston. If you think
I'm rich, you're an efing idiot. The people getting rich
(15:46):
off politics are the influencers like cat Turd selling their
platforms to the highest bidder. Sorry to break it to y'all,
that's the truth, to which cat Turn doubled back with lol. Yeah,
Dan really brought the hammer down on me, and then
a laughing emoji. Except everything he said was a lie
(16:08):
and why he's getting roasted all night. Number one, I'm
an army vet. Number two, I haven't been anonymous in
years because remember.
Speaker 7 (16:17):
He was.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Exposed. People say, you know this is who he is,
and they revealed his address and he was worried about it.
Number three, I've never taken a dime from any political
party in my life. Number four he lied about not
having money. He's a millionaire, and then he closed with
enjoy the ratio. I was not on the Twitter machine
(16:42):
last night. My wife and I were watching that stupid Lioness,
and so I had put my phone away. And when
I got up this morning my emails, I can scan
the subject line and see if something has happened or not.
And it was all Crenshaw, Crenshall. Crenshall melted down. Oh
(17:03):
my god, you see what happened to Crenshaw. Do you
see what Crenshall did? Can you believe what Crenshall said?
Can you believe?
Speaker 8 (17:09):
So?
Speaker 2 (17:09):
I knew there was something, and then that's when I
dug in and saw the late night melt down and
anger fest.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
It is.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
It's not his finest moment. How about that, we will
say it is not his finest moment. Coming up in
thirty minutes, a woman who along with her husband was
a January sixth did a prison sentence over the January
sixth Senate frame up. And now they've come out and
they're now that they're out, and they're they're offering a
(17:43):
road to recovery for people who serve prison time, you know,
to help them get reintegrated into life.
Speaker 3 (17:48):
Michael, almost god.
Speaker 8 (18:02):
She can talk on the phone at a town hall meeting,
she'll call you mother just in her greeting.
Speaker 9 (18:12):
And she never reveals what's beneath that crown weed.
Speaker 8 (18:18):
She acts like a child, but she's the calm griswoman.
Speaker 10 (18:22):
To me, I'm Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee.
Speaker 11 (18:25):
She spoke at Jacka's funeral with a big resolution. She'll cut, carve,
destroy her our own constitution. The jets sat around just
as long as it is freeing. Yeah, she acts like
a clown, but she's the can Gris woman.
Speaker 10 (18:47):
It certainly seems ridiculous.
Speaker 12 (18:49):
Oh, she's so proud of herself.
Speaker 9 (18:56):
She can't wait there all day.
Speaker 8 (19:00):
She's been called.
Speaker 10 (19:01):
Ile hall and I believe that my facts are accurate.
Speaker 12 (19:08):
And she acts like a queen. And she dresses in
ill green like she's commit the from green.
Speaker 9 (19:21):
And if you work for her, she may make you cry,
and she'll cuss you and hit you and ask mussa die,
mus I die.
Speaker 11 (19:31):
But you'll play the old race card.
Speaker 12 (19:34):
Of course, Slavery.
Speaker 8 (19:37):
Blame it all along thol white Man.
Speaker 9 (19:39):
She's our Congresswomanly, I have a.
Speaker 10 (19:42):
Sense of humor and I believe in the First Amendment.
But frankly, I consider this insulting, and so did many
other It was not humorous, it was demeanings, very offensive. Well,
let me just say this.
Speaker 2 (19:57):
I am outraged, Thank you very much. City Council unanimously
approved a resolution to rename Terminal E after Sheila Jackson
Lee humph So if you know a member of Houston
City Council, they were part of this. Let's go back
(20:19):
to twenty seventeen where she made national news because she
wanted to be in first class but her seat wasn't
for first class. She bullied the staff at United Airlines
to bump a first class passenger so that she could
(20:41):
take that passenger's seat, and when the passenger complained to
the media, well, oh, she jack she played the race card,
because that's what she did. The story from Inside Edition.
Speaker 13 (20:56):
The airline passenger who says she was bumped from her
seat make room for a congresswoman is speaking exclusively to
Inside Edition.
Speaker 6 (21:04):
I said I want my seat back.
Speaker 13 (21:06):
Teacher Jean Marie Simon says she had booked a first
class seat on a United Airlines flight from Houston to Washington,
d C. She showed us her boarding pass United first
Class Seat one A, but a United gate agent had
a surprise. As Simon waited to bore.
Speaker 6 (21:22):
She said, you've been wiped from the system. I can't
even find your reservation.
Speaker 13 (21:25):
The seat was given to a local congresswoman, representative, Sheila
Jackson Lee. Simon ended up with a seat in Economy plus.
Speaker 6 (21:33):
I went up to the front of the plane and
took a picture of Miss Jackson Lee, and I turned
to the flight attendant who had brought her on the plane,
and I said, I know who's in my seat, and
I know why.
Speaker 13 (21:42):
You believe, without a doubt, you were removed from your
first class seat, which was your seat, to make room
for a congresswoman.
Speaker 6 (21:50):
Yes, I do.
Speaker 13 (21:51):
The incident is making headlines.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Texas Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee at the center of a.
Speaker 2 (21:56):
Controversy tonight involving United Airlines.
Speaker 13 (21:58):
The congresswoman said she had nothing to do with Simon
being bumped, and added, since this was not any fault
of mine, The way the individual continued to act appeared
to be upon reflection because I was an African American woman,
seemingly an easy target. How do you respond when you
hear Congresswoman Lee say she was targeted because she was
(22:18):
African American and this has to do with ill racism.
Speaker 6 (22:22):
My beief is not with miss Jackson Lee. My concern
is with United. We need to know as United customers,
as frequent flyers, that we're going to be treated with
a modicum of respect and courtesy every time we get
on a flight.
Speaker 13 (22:35):
A United spokesperson said the airline did try to apologize,
but the teacher says that never happened.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
She was known for doing this when Continental Airlines was
looking for a bailout, the airline industry was struggling in
Congress was considering a bailout, the word got Tonental Airlines.
I know this because the Director of Government of Fairs
(23:04):
for Continental Airlines at the time told me directly that
Sheila Jackson Lee convened a meeting of the Congressional Black Caucus,
that is, the members of Congress who gather on the
basis of all being black, okay, and they were trying
(23:27):
to jack up the airlines that if we give them
a bailout. We need to make sure we can always
fly free first class. Continental Airlines was at the time
still a Houston based airline, and if you remember what
it was like back in those days, Continental Airlines was
(23:50):
as Houston a company as there was. Yeah, there was
Cleveland and there was Newark, but Houston was Continental's head orders.
I think it was twenty something thousand employees. They had
the office building downtown that Bethoon signed as part of
Lanier's renewal of downtown. It's the single largest vendor with
(24:14):
the City of Houston government. They were part of the
major construction of the new airline terminals. International flights all
of a sudden started going from Houston to foreign countries,
which you couldn't do before. In the past. You had
to depend on whether you go in west or east.
You'd have to stop in La or San Francisco, or
(24:34):
you'd have to stop in New York or Atlanta. And
now putting Houston back on the map. And here they
were struggling and Shila Jackson Lee was holding a meeting
that they weren't supposed to find out about it, but
they did. Where she's going, Hey, if we give them
all the taxpayers money. Basically, she wanted her own private airline.
(24:56):
So how very appropriate that this woman who was so
such a complete and utter bitch to so many people
in so many ways, but especially on the airline, that
these pitily little city councilmen would now be coming back
(25:17):
and saying we should honor her. And I read one
of the newspapers this morning and says she was a
fierce advocate for Houston.
Speaker 13 (25:25):
She was not.
Speaker 2 (25:26):
I'm tired of hearing this. She was a racist. She
jacked up people for money, she jacked up people for power.
She insulted people, she bullied people, she bullied poor blacks,
She burst into churches to demand that she speaks. She
was an evil, awful human being. And if you name
that terminal for her, shame on you. Myself.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
My name is Mitch Michael Berry genius.
Speaker 10 (26:00):
I'm Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee and I hailed from Houston, Texas.
Speaker 8 (26:06):
I've never seen a clap so hard as you did tonight,
never seen you in the secret Service fights the congress Woman.
I've never seen so many men laugh at you when
you stand catching the camera.
Speaker 2 (26:24):
When it panned, giving hair a chance.
Speaker 8 (26:30):
And I've never seen that jacket bloss or red thing
that you're wearing with the crowd wig on your head
that stuns my eyes?
Speaker 12 (26:38):
What does she get that.
Speaker 8 (26:41):
The congress woman in red?
Speaker 9 (26:48):
He's standing with me.
Speaker 8 (26:51):
When the president speaks, nobody else stands.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Harry writes, Zara Frenshaw's getting destroyed on X tonight. This
was at one o'clock this morning or late last night,
he wrote this, and it is glorious. We're gonna fix
that mistake, like corning. My wife was monstrating today, so
(27:17):
her uterus wanted Taco Bell to calm things down. She
requested a cheesy gordita crunch, nacho fries, and a beefy
five layer of burrito. That's a hungry girl. The beefy
five layer burrito, which I was reluctant to order because
(27:38):
I thought it wasn't real, was packed full of beans.
Stay away. Please pass this on to Ramon. I feel
like he would order the beefy five layer burrito on
a cheap day and he would be disappointed. She looking
out for us, Ramo, you know we haven't done. We
(28:01):
haven't done a signs and wonders in a minute clip
number six O three from Jim Mudd creative director for
The Michael Berry Show. It is uh, this one definitely
calls for it. This one definitely falls for middle school
teacher taking the yearbook photos of students and photoshopping them
(28:24):
onto porn. Yeah, kind of freak.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
It's all the damn money, money in the drugs. It's
just hemp beyond everything. What's it mean? What's it leading to?
I don't know. If you'd have told me twenty years ago,
i'd see children walking the streets of our Texas towns
with the green hair, the bones in their noses, and
(28:49):
it flat out wouldn't have bleak signs and wonders.
Speaker 2 (28:52):
But I think once you quit here in sir and ma'am,
the rest of them to follow.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Oh, it's the tide. It's the It is not the
one one signs and wonders, Sir Mam.
Speaker 3 (29:08):
Master Falts signs and wonders.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
It's the visual size wonder, signs and wonders.
Speaker 7 (29:23):
The former Louisville school teacher accused of photo shopping students
photos onto other images of child porn is now pleading guilty.
Speaker 5 (29:31):
But while Jordan Fouts is admitting to the crimes, he's
not exactly happy with the sentence that the US government
is suggesting more. Jollice has the very latest in this
freaking use alert.
Speaker 7 (29:41):
Yeah, Myra, John fALS is now pleading guilty to seven
separate child sex crimes, including possession and distribution of child pornography,
but the actual written agreement is still in the negotiation phase.
Let me explain. False was a religion teacher and worked
maintenance at Saint Stephen Martyr School in Louisville. By pleading guilty,
he is now admitting to taking students' yearbook photos and
(30:05):
pasting them onto adult and child porn images while he
was working at the school. Some of the victims were
under twelve years old. Well, there is one thing though,
that Foughts is still contesting, and that is the sentencing
part of this agreement. The government is recommending a sentence
of about twenty years. His attorneys say that's too much, though,
and they're still working with prosecutors right now to come
(30:26):
to a different sentencing term. Foughts and his attorneys will
have until March nineteenth to do this, to renegotiate the
terms of this plea. If they don't, then this guilty
plea is pretty much out the window and we're.
Speaker 2 (30:38):
Headed to trial.
Speaker 7 (30:38):
But if his attorneys and federal prosecutors do come to
an agreement, Foughts is most certainly headed to prison for
how long we don't know, but he'll have to serve
his entire sentence because there is no parole in the
federal system.
Speaker 2 (30:53):
Taking the middle school yearbook of the school where you
teach in Louisville, Kentucky, and taking the faces of those kids,
and they are kids in middle school and photoshopping them
into porn. Something is real wrong with this guy, real wrong.
(31:20):
How screwed up is Houston City government. Well, over the
last year, we've brought you the stories that were actually
brought by Amy Davis of KPRC about Houston Housing Authority
CEO David Northern. You remember they hired some guy from
Chicago to put air conditioning units into the public housing
(31:44):
units and the guy had no clue how to do it,
so the units were falling out, falling in, they weren't
properly attached. The guy admitted he'd never done it. You
go online and he's one of these guys we've all
seen the type that you know, he's a fashion mogul
and probably has a mortgage company and maybe rents out
(32:08):
Lamborghinis by the hour on the weekend, you know the type.
And he's buddies with David Northern, who's the CEO of
the Houston Housing Authority, who is handing business to his
fellow probably fraternity buddies from college. He was allowed to
(32:28):
resign instead of being fired for all the crimes that
he's alleged to have committed. Plus he was given a
two hundred thousand dollars quote unquote settlement. Well, he was suing.
What the hell is that. It's not a severance. He's
not being laid off. It's been exposed all over the
(32:48):
evening news in Houston, Texas that this guy is committing
crime after crime after crime. Well, kprc's Amy Davis points
out he was paid for four f one hundred and
sixty nine hours because the board says there's no record
of him ever taking any time off. Oh okay, so
(33:13):
the guy running every other scheme never took vacation. You
know he did, but he didn't file it. So now
he says, hey, y'all need to pay me for all that.
In addition, as part of his settlement, Houston Housing Authority
will not investigate his corruption and that if any outside
investigations proceed, they will not issue any findings on his culpability.
Speaker 5 (33:37):
So we want to just catch you up here for
a moment. Northern came to Houston as hj's president and
CEO in twenty twenty two, so he was here just
over a little over two years. We uncovered a slew
of questionable contracts and shady deals that he signed, so
he resigned while he was under in this investigation by
the Houston Housing Authority Board. So now were received a
(34:00):
copy of that settlement that the new board approved. We're
going to come back on camera here because it shows
that Northern received six months of pay and time paid
time off. That was a total of mogins.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Cray got it many age a time. Well, it's Amy
Davis's story. It's on ks KPOC coming up. A woman
and her husband were January sixth defendants. They just went
to see President Trump s b that's it, and then
they got ensnared by the trap our federal government held. Well,
they're worried about these people. Once Trump pardons them, what's
(34:34):
their life going to be like they've been in prison.
We'll talk about that coming up.
