Speaker 1 (00:00):
Remaining relevant in media over a long period of time
requires a certain amount of recreating yourself, and it means
(00:20):
even a natural process. Let's assume you're not just trying
to be talked about and keep your job. Let's assuming
you just respond honestly to news of the day. In
the course of your life, You're naturally going to have
(00:42):
some different opinions with regard to things as you grow
into each season of life. I'm in a season of
life personally where I am heavily focused on two age groups.
One is the elderly and infirm. Because my father's eighty five.
(01:08):
He's in an old folks home, and you know, we
talk about the care he's getting. We talk about it's
not just about keeping the engine running, it's about who
you are as a person. You're confronting death. We're all
marching toward the graveyard. And any of us could die early.
My brother died at fifty four. I'm fifty four, so
(01:30):
it could happen. But you have to confront that as
you get older. I was walking down the hallway of
the old folks home yesterday and older lady she's she's
got some memory care issues, and she's talking to her daughter,
and her daughter was talking about let's just say Mith Smith.
I'm just making that number up, who lived a couple
(01:52):
of rooms down, and she said something something about miss Smith,
and the mother with a memory, career shoes and also
no depth perception said does she die? And her daughter said, no, Mom,
she didn't die. She uh, she had a fall, but
(02:12):
looks like she's gonna be okay, and they're going to
bring her back. She's she's still at the hospital, but
they're going to bring her back after they finish up
with the X rays. She didn't die. No, she didn't die, okay.
So that is one season of life for me because
of my dad. And the other one is I've got
a soon to be senior in high school and the
(02:34):
soon to be sophomore in college just finished his freshman
year in college. So where you are in life with
regard to what you're going to do for a living
or who you're going to be, you know all of
these things, and as you're in a season, you have
different focuses and change your opinion on things. When I
(02:55):
was younger, I thought Bill maher was was rather witty, thoughtful,
and then he began to embrace what were probably previously
his private opinions, which were more liberal opinions on issues
of the day, and he was kind of the toast
(03:17):
of media and Hollywood and Democrat Party. But as the
Democrat Party has gone off the rails and the public
has shifted, and you look at the folks who are
coming up, they're either a political Nate Bargatsi's the biggest
draw right now in comedy ticket revenue. Don't blame me,
(03:39):
that's a fact. Bill Burr, who it's kind of anti everything,
but has criticized the Democrats. Now he has to say
some things too. I'm told to kind of please his wife,
so he has to come back and criticize, you know,
white Americans that they're all readnecks in idiots. But even
(04:00):
he has kind of shifted toward criticizing the craziness of
the left. So Bill Maher, who has kind of tried
to recreate himself and went to the White went to
did he go to the White House? Where you go
to Palm Beach? I can't recall to see President Trump
at supposedly at the behastor at the arranging of Kid Rock.
(04:25):
Get those two together. So Bill Maher now plays this
is him talking about a recent poll that only twenty
five percent of Democrats under thirty are proud to be American.
I'm glad for things like this. I want people to
see what we're dealing with. I want people to see
(04:47):
what they're doing to our young people. I want people
to see who these people that they're telling you what
we should do. They're casting this kind of vote, they're
making these kind of demands. These are people who hate this,
and that's important to understand clip six oh two.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Seriously, this is a serious problem for Democrats. Less than
one in four Democrats under thirty say they're proud to
be an American.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Fifty four percent say.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
They're embarrassed by it, embarrassed like Americas your mom picking
you up at school.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
We are embarrassed to be an American.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Well, guess what the feeling's mutual because you have no perspective.
Is America perfect? No, of course not, no country is.
Although don't get Tucker Carlson started on Russia. Globalize the
Intifada is the catchphrase that's really catching on these days,
as if worldwide suicide bombing and cosplaying Islamic revolutionaries is
(05:46):
the answer.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
To our problems.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
At an AOC Bernie Sanders rally in Idaho last month,
someone threw a Palestinian flag over an American flag and
the crowd.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Erupted in approval.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
What should have happened after that is one of the
adults on stage should have told their young loyal followers,
this is.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Not a symbol of freedom. This is if the thought
leaders in the.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Democratic Party keep encouraging and not rebuking, the idea that
America is cringe and the people who run Gaza are great,
the Democrats are doomed.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Alyssa.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Slotkin's right, Liberals are weak and woke, especially the white ones,
and they indulge all sorts of nonsense from their kids,
a pattern that then continues on in the Democratic Party.
Last election, it was all the gender stuff, the insistence
that men can have babies and such, and now I
fear that we like the terrorists. Is the new that
(06:49):
Liberals need to push back on the dumb ideas that
come from their children. The Democrats problem is the energy
of the parties with the young and the younger.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
With the terrorists.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Good, So talk to your children and remind them you
don't really want to live like your heroes in Hamas
all that you do all day.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
It was all made in America.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Your smartphone, your grub hub, your freedom to bitch about America.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
That's all American stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
You tell your phone you want a milkshake, and a guy.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Brings it to your house. Please.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
You couldn't survive a week living into Fadaville.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
So imagine that seventy of young Democrats do not love
their country. These are people that not only vote, they
also sit on juries. They become teachers. They will have children,
even even though they'll most of them, they'll still have some,
and they will teach those children to hate this man.
(07:49):
They will teach those children that we are evil people.
That's fot like man, no more like women.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Michael, I'm not gay, no more.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
One of the things I try to be conscious of
is the privacy and security of my family. They didn't
ask to come into this family. They didn't ask to
be my son, and they certainly didn't ask to be
talked about on the air. And I try to balance
that out. So sometimes there are things I don't tell
(08:30):
about them because it would narrow down. You know where
they're going to be, or what they're doing, or who
their friends are, And I don't think that's fair to them,
and I take that very seriously. And so that's all
by way of saying why this audio clip is from
a while back. Crockett was at a soccer match and
(08:53):
we were playing a team out in the far suburbs
of Houston, and it had taken me over an hour
to get there, and it was a Saturday night and
my wife had something to do with Michael t. So
I got there insanely early, because that's what I'm at
(09:15):
that age, where I get over early. It was a
little text next joint around the corner, and I ate
there before the game, and it was freezing cold in
this game, and so because of the long drive in
the cold weather, well, I have two little handheld Coleman
lanterns that I carry with me for such events, and
(09:35):
people laugh at me hauling these two big Coleman heater
handheld heaters up. But when I get up there, they
all gravitate towards me because these things throw so much
heat off. So there I am to go to the
game and the announcer, God bless him. I don't know
what his story was, but it was one of the
(09:56):
best experiences listening to this guy announced not because he
was good, but because he was so unique, and so
I decided I had to record it. The audio quality
is not good, so lean in, but maybe you'll enjoy
it as much as I did.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Lets it go up in the end, a little bit
of a condision trying to get by a story. Can't
quite do it. Could footwork, perhaps it to the inside.
Can't quite make that pass for it. Gets a piece
of it once again. Nice job clears it. It's gonna
get by, so you can stand. It just goes out town.
(10:34):
Can't get there quite in time.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Even when our team scored or their team scored.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
He was just real calm and smith. I'm with the ball,
he's dribbling down the sideline and the ball is out.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
So I couldn't see well because I sat down front
and he was up in the box. You know, it's
the field box that you do the announcing from. And
he had the windows closed, obviously because it was so
cold that day for Houston. You know, anybody else would
think anywhere else in the country would say, what are
you wanting about? But for us, it was cold. And
(11:12):
I kept looking up there because I kept imagining that
there was gonna be some smoke leaking out of there.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Right.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
It was like a Cheech and Chong movie. And I
was just imagining this dude was hot boxing up in
the field house and there's you know. That's that's why
the stories of the things that happen in schools make
make big stories, because we all think back to when
we were a kid. The school is sacred, right, you
can't be smoking a joint up in the field box.
(11:40):
But I'm certain this dude was. I'm certain, and it
makes the story funnier than he was. All right, So
now listen to it and tell me you think I'm wrong.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
Let's it go a little bit of a condision, trying
to get by a story. Can't quite do it worth
perhaps it to the inside, can't quite make that pass
for it. Gets a piece of it once again. Nice
job clears it. It's gonna get by, so you can
(12:10):
stay in. It just goes down to town. Can't get
there quite in time.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Since we're on the subject of funny and fun audio,
there's a fellow who records under the name Earl Pitts,
and this will send to me sometime back by a listener.
Some of the best stuff I discover comes from listeners.
The problem is most of it I never get to
(12:35):
hear because they just send a link. They don't get
any context or whatever. But people will say, hey, here
is this, here's how I found it, here's why it's funny.
Give it a listen. And the best part is you're
mentioned at thirty thirty eight seconds in, or the best
part is blah blah blah blah blah. And so this
next one is earl pits. And I was sitting out
(12:57):
speaking of cold nights, will sit outside around a fire,
and that's when I prep, that's when I read, I
make notes. I listened to speeches, I listened to interviews,
I listened to TV news reports, and I enjoy it.
I enjoy getting right in on that fire. And the
fire was blazing on this particular night. It would do
(13:17):
my that's my idea of heaven. And somebody had sent
me some earl pits to listen to, and so I
kind of started listening to some more earl pits, and
I came across this bit called filling up at the
gas station. And you'll either like it or you want
Some of you won't appreciate it, and that's fine. But
for those of you who do you do? I found
(13:39):
this incredibly relatable.
Speaker 7 (13:49):
You know what makes me sick? You know what makes
me so angry? I just more a suck at juice
out the gas station. Squeegee, you're about to had that
robbery and progress down at gas and gold this morning? Yeah,
I filled up. That's what you call highway robbery anymore.
(14:09):
Now I might be the only guy left on earth
what likes to buy my gas old fashioned way three
bucks at a time. And don't call me cheap neither,
because you used to be three bucks of gas cost
me ten sure once you added in a cup of coffee,
a two chocolate doughnuts, a sausage biscuit and package, a
hosted snowball, and two packs of smokes. Hell, these prices
(14:30):
keep going up. I'm gonna look like that animic bull chicken.
I ain't eating nothing no more. We gas prices are
going by next month, I'm gonna be bumming, booming to
smoke or booming the ride. I can't afford more. Somehow,
I don't know what come over me this morning, but
I pulled in there and I filled up. Now, I
got to tell you, I ain't used to people taking
(14:52):
that kind of money. Off me without least knocking me
over the head with a pipe. First, I seen them
dollar numbers spinning on that. I got on my knees
twice to see if a gash was running out the
bottom of the tank. Twenty seven bucks, twenty seven dollars
for a Philip.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
I wantn't even on e.
Speaker 7 (15:13):
I ain't won them. Sky is falling, the mafia killed Kennedy,
Conspiracy Ntwich. But don't it seem kind of funny to
anybody but me that soon as we get too big
old bowlsos up in the White House, we're looking at
three bucks a gallon for gas. Hello, I say, something
smells pretty fishy around here, And I used to like
(15:36):
stuff it smells fishy, not this wake up for Morico what.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
She said in s finish.
Speaker 8 (15:46):
I just said it to the judge in Spanish, because
I feel like she forgets that we're Hispanic and that
we're the people.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
That she targeted for a book.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
The Michael Verry Show, Running the Shop Suits and Smokey's
in Trouble, the former lead singer of The Miracles, the
Real Talent scout of Motown Records, and oh, by the way,
(16:14):
when he wasn't recruiting, training, building up, promoting, and writing
songs for some of the greatest musical acts of all time.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
He made a little time to sing some himself. Pretty
amazing career, right, But as often happens, sometimes amazing, powerful, talented,
accomplished men have demons or just really struggle with normal behaviors.
(16:58):
Their appetites can sometimes be larger than the law and
consent will allow. Now, it's one thing, if you're having
a consenting relationship, people will judge you for the immorality,
but it's not illegal. Used to be, it's not. But
(17:23):
when you are doing something that, as women now claim
Smokey was doing, is unwanted and was protested against. Four
women who allegedly previously worked for the R and B
soul Icon accused Robinson of sexual battery, assault, false imprisonment,
(17:46):
gender violence. Look, violence is violence. Can we stop with
that nonsense. It's not a worse crime if you punch
somebody because they're black and you're white than it is
if you just punch somebody. We got to stop with
this nonsense and creating a hostile work environment, among other offenses.
According to a May sixth complaint filed in the Los
(18:10):
Angeles County Superior Court and obtained by USA Today. Now
here's the part where it gets rather interesting. The women
who were each reportedly employed as housekeepers at Smokey's home
in Chatsworth, Los Angeles. By the way, he's eighty five,
(18:32):
now claim they were forced to leave their job with
him due to the singer's quote repeated sexual assaults and
sexual harassment, adding that his alleged conduct was quote willful, wanted,
and malicious with a conscious disregard of their rights, privacy,
(18:55):
and feelings. This reporter needs to spend a little more
time reading the case more carefully. I can guarantee you
that their lawyers did not claim that the alleged conduct
was wilful, wanted, and malicious, because if they wanted the conduct,
that would reduce the criminal element of it. It is
(19:17):
not wanted. It is wanton wa n t O N,
which means intentional, without purpose, without without being provoked, without
reacting to something. It's not like someone came up and
slapped you in the face and then you punched them.
Wanton is it's just this idea that you get in
(19:38):
your head and you go do it, and it wasn't
asked far it's not right. It was deliberate, it was unprovoked,
and it's awful. So that's what they are accusing old smokey.
It appears ramon that. I mean, could you figure smoking
had pretty much whoever he wants right? You know, maybe
(19:59):
it's in the Cali Fuhnia water or something, because remember
Ernold Schwarzenegger made a baby with the housekeeper. Do you
remember that? Looks like smoke. He had a hanger in
for some fun time fabulosa. Maybe it was the smell
of fabulosa that got him all wound up. I like
(20:19):
the smell of fabulosa. Do you maybe fabulosa was a
trigger for smoking? You know what I mean? Smoking rocks.
I mean, you know, lounging around the house.
Speaker 8 (20:45):
Turn the knights down in makes me want to get
close because.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Let me get you.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Clean that your mob willess you know, sexual assaults of
(21:29):
horrible things, all of that true? Yes, yes, yes, but
I do wonder about the timing here. Just to touch,
I think you have to be careful. The problem is
I believe that for so long there were men who
(21:52):
sexually assaulted women, especially in their employee or in some
way or another. The woman had no ability or felt
like they no ability to push back, didn't want to
lose their job, and it was clearly unconsensual and abusive.
(22:12):
And I think there may have been cases. I'm certain
there would have been cases where if a woman did
boldly go to law enforcement that some male law enforcement
officers would have said, all, get over it. Who's going
to believe you. You probably asked for it, you probably
(22:32):
provoked it. Now Here is the problem people want you
to take. Because that was the case, people now want
the exact opposite to be the case. All someone has
to do is claim she was sexually assaulted or sexually harassed,
and we're not allowed to ask a question. They get
a big payout, the person gets prosecuted. And that's not
(22:55):
progress the believe all women? What about Rachel All? What
about Kamala Harris? What about all the other women who lie?
Believe Hillary Clinton? What about women who make faith, who
make fake claims? And later we can't Should we have
believed her when she told us that no, No, that's
(23:16):
that's not judicious. And the healthy thing to do is
to question every single time there is a case like this,
you have to thoroughly question. Now, friends of the victim,
never want It feels frustrating that your credibility is questioned,
but it has to be questioned. You're making a strong
(23:39):
statement here. It has to be questioned always. That is
Anglo American jurisprudence. It ain't pretty, it ain't always nice,
not always easy, but even smoked, even smoke, deserves a
fair trial and the presumption of innisence.
Speaker 7 (23:59):
But we're gonna add a little bit about these warhouses
I know all about.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Ramon wants to know what around the world is.
Speaker 9 (24:05):
Whistling bungholes, spleen splitters, whisker biscuits, honkey riders, hoosker doos hohosker,
don'ts nips and dazers with it without the scooter stick
or one single whistling kiddy chasing.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
There is a scene in No Country for Old Men,
one of my all time favorite movies, where the sheriff
is going back to see I guess his uncle who
was an old law man before him, and he's he's
there to get some advice on how to handle this
case he's working on, and he talks about how things
(24:44):
have gone to hell, and it all started when them
girls started wearing green hair, and that story has always
spoken to me because he says in there Signs and Wonders.
So I came back to the studio after watching it
for the fifteenth time recently, and I decided that we
(25:09):
had to start doing a segment for the fact that
sometimes I see a story and I think to myself,
if if you put this moment in a time capsule
and one hundred years later you looked at it, there
would be that carnival cruise brawl that mayhem there. There
(25:32):
was recently at a in Houston, at a sweet sixteen party.
Guy walks in. They tell him he can't be there.
He's probably in a rival gang or something. So he
pulls out his gun and wounds eighteen and kills one.
Wasn't so sweet after all. It's soured the sweet sixteen party,
(25:55):
and you just think, who does these sorts of things. Well,
just so you don't think I'm picking all minorities, this
guy's a white guy that I'm about to tell you about.
And well it qualifies for a Signs and Wonders segment.
So here we go.
Speaker 10 (26:25):
It's all the damn money, money in the drugs. It's
just damp beyond everything. What's it mean? What's it leading to.
You 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 bones and their noses, it flat
(26:46):
out wouldn't have believe Signs and wonders.
Speaker 7 (26:49):
But I think once you quit here in sir and ma'am,
the rest of them to follow.
Speaker 10 (26:54):
Oh, it's the tide. It's the dismal tide. It is
not the one thing Signs and wonders serve mans, Signs
and wonders. It's the additional signs and wonders.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Signs and wonders.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
The little background. This fellow was a security guard an
hour north of Houston in a bedroom community called the Woodlands.
It's one of the nicest places to live in the
Greater Houston area. People want to get north of the crime,
north of the crowds, north of the Sweet sixteen parties
(27:38):
where somebody shoots the place up, and it is an
idyllic community. It has a mall there, and there was
a security guard who's working at the mall who was
secretly recording children when they'd go to the bathroom. My brother,
(27:58):
the cop, used to tell me that X crimes have
the highest recidivism rate. When a guy commits a sex crime,
especially on kids, you let him out. The chances he's
going to re offend are almost they're approaching one. They're high.
So you figure this old boys out. He's had his
(28:21):
pictures splashed across the news of every station in Houston.
He's lost his job, he's ashamed. You figure last thing
he'd do, well, he can't work an hour north of Houston.
Last thing he'd do is go an hour south of
Houston in Galveston, which is an island community the other
(28:44):
end of Houston. That's the far north and now this
is far south. Last thing he would do is that
same thing again? Right, you'd be wrong? Sorright?
Speaker 11 (29:00):
Ready facing charges for secretly recording underage girls, is back
in jail, this time in Galveston. Taylor Roy was arrested
Wednesday on a new invasive recording charge. KPRCTWO reporter Corley
Peel is outside the Galveston County jail where Roy is
being held, and she's sharing how Roy was caught a
second time.
Speaker 12 (29:20):
Taylor Roy's arrest here in Galveston County and Montgomery County
are almost exactly a year apart. This time he's accused
of trying to take videos of a child on the beach.
The beaches of Galveston Island are where many families spend
quality time on Easter Weekend. It's where police say a
(29:41):
bystander notice Taylor Roy taking videos and pictures of their child.
The family managed to gather pictures of Roy and his vehicle.
Police quickly identified him as their suspect. Eleven days later,
police tracked Roy down, taking him into custody. During the investigation,
deta dictis learned Roy was already out on bond for
(30:02):
the same crime in Montgomery County. Roy was a security
guard at the Woodlands Mall and a youth tennis coach.
He and his wife, Tasha, were arrested last year after
allegedly creating secret videos of girls as young as ten
and selling them. Roy is accused of recording in many
(30:23):
places where young girls were known to be wearing swimsuits,
like dressing rooms and six Flags Hurricane Harbor. Investigators in
both Galveson County and Montgomery County now working together to
solve Roy's accused crimes. Taylor Roy is currently being held
in the Galveson County Jail on a seventy five thousand
dollars bond. His next court date has not been set yet.
(30:45):
I did reach out to the Montgomery County District Attorney's
office to find out if his new charge here in
Galveson will have an impact on his bond in Montgomery County.
Their spokesperson says that generally speaking, if someone is out
on bond with conditions and they commit a new offense
and maybe a basis to ask a judge to set
aside that bond, increase the bond, or make changes to
(31:08):
the bond conditions. But this is an active and ongoing
investigation in Galveston. Corley Peel KPRC to News.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
I don't feel sorry for this guy. I don't empathize
with criminals because there are real victims of these sorts
of things. But I do look at them as peculiar.
And I will tell you that I believe something goes
(31:37):
wrong in a brain for somebody to want to do that.
I believe something goes wrong in a brain that in
almost every case cannot be fixed. You know, I'm not
a heroin addict, because I've never tried heroin. Right, there
are things that scare me. Things are areas you just
(31:58):
don't go. You don't leave your wife for a stripper
who you met at the strip club if you don't
go to the strip club, Just that simple. You don't
get hooked on heroin if you don't try it the
first time. It's like this guy had one shot at
(32:19):
not doing this. I don't think he intended for his
life to fall apart like this. A lot of guys
like this will suck start a shotgun because they see
no upside from it. But boy, that's a horrible, horrible
place to be in your life, a terrible horror. Imagine
(32:41):
the demons he's got to put him. He knows he's
been caught before. So being caught, you know, when you
had teenage kids like I do, you got to tell them, hey,
don't drive fast, you can die. Oh I won't die.
How about this guy over here? Oh dad, you always
know somebody died. This guy's been caught before, so when
he got arrested this second, I can't imagine how awful.
(33:01):
My goodness and a good night, m
Remaining relevant in media over a long period of time
requires a certain amount of recreating yourself, and it means
(00:20):
even a natural process. Let's assume you're not just trying
to be talked about and keep your job. Let's assuming
you just respond honestly to news of the day. In
the course of your life, You're naturally going to have
(00:42):
some different opinions with regard to things as you grow
into each season of life. I'm in a season of
life personally where I am heavily focused on two age groups.
One is the elderly and infirm. Because my father's eighty five.
(01:08):
He's in an old folks home, and you know, we
talk about the care he's getting. We talk about it's
not just about keeping the engine running, it's about who
you are as a person. You're confronting death. We're all
marching toward the graveyard. And any of us could die early.
My brother died at fifty four. I'm fifty four, so
(01:30):
it could happen. But you have to confront that as
you get older. I was walking down the hallway of
the old folks home yesterday and older lady she's she's
got some memory care issues, and she's talking to her daughter,
and her daughter was talking about let's just say Mith Smith.
I'm just making that number up, who lived a couple
(01:52):
of rooms down, and she said something something about miss Smith,
and the mother with a memory, career shoes and also
no depth perception said does she die? And her daughter said, no, Mom,
she didn't die. She uh, she had a fall, but
(02:12):
looks like she's gonna be okay, and they're going to
bring her back. She's she's still at the hospital, but
they're going to bring her back after they finish up
with the X rays. She didn't die. No, she didn't die, okay.
So that is one season of life for me because
of my dad. And the other one is I've got
a soon to be senior in high school and the
(02:34):
soon to be sophomore in college just finished his freshman
year in college. So where you are in life with
regard to what you're going to do for a living
or who you're going to be, you know all of
these things, and as you're in a season, you have
different focuses and change your opinion on things. When I
(02:55):
was younger, I thought Bill maher was was rather witty, thoughtful,
and then he began to embrace what were probably previously
his private opinions, which were more liberal opinions on issues
of the day, and he was kind of the toast
(03:17):
of media and Hollywood and Democrat Party. But as the
Democrat Party has gone off the rails and the public
has shifted, and you look at the folks who are
coming up, they're either a political Nate Bargatsi's the biggest
draw right now in comedy ticket revenue. Don't blame me,
(03:39):
that's a fact. Bill Burr, who it's kind of anti everything,
but has criticized the Democrats. Now he has to say
some things too. I'm told to kind of please his wife,
so he has to come back and criticize, you know,
white Americans that they're all readnecks in idiots. But even
(04:00):
he has kind of shifted toward criticizing the craziness of
the left. So Bill Maher, who has kind of tried
to recreate himself and went to the White went to
did he go to the White House? Where you go
to Palm Beach? I can't recall to see President Trump
at supposedly at the behastor at the arranging of Kid Rock.
(04:25):
Get those two together. So Bill Maher now plays this
is him talking about a recent poll that only twenty
five percent of Democrats under thirty are proud to be American.
I'm glad for things like this. I want people to
see what we're dealing with. I want people to see
(04:47):
what they're doing to our young people. I want people
to see who these people that they're telling you what
we should do. They're casting this kind of vote, they're
making these kind of demands. These are people who hate this,
and that's important to understand clip six oh two.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Seriously, this is a serious problem for Democrats. Less than
one in four Democrats under thirty say they're proud to
be an American.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Fifty four percent say.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
They're embarrassed by it, embarrassed like Americas your mom picking
you up at school.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
We are embarrassed to be an American.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Well, guess what the feeling's mutual because you have no perspective.
Is America perfect? No, of course not, no country is.
Although don't get Tucker Carlson started on Russia. Globalize the
Intifada is the catchphrase that's really catching on these days,
as if worldwide suicide bombing and cosplaying Islamic revolutionaries is
(05:46):
the answer.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
To our problems.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
At an AOC Bernie Sanders rally in Idaho last month,
someone threw a Palestinian flag over an American flag and
the crowd.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Erupted in approval.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
What should have happened after that is one of the
adults on stage should have told their young loyal followers,
this is.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Not a symbol of freedom. This is if the thought
leaders in the.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Democratic Party keep encouraging and not rebuking, the idea that
America is cringe and the people who run Gaza are great,
the Democrats are doomed.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Alyssa.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Slotkin's right, Liberals are weak and woke, especially the white ones,
and they indulge all sorts of nonsense from their kids,
a pattern that then continues on in the Democratic Party.
Last election, it was all the gender stuff, the insistence
that men can have babies and such, and now I
fear that we like the terrorists. Is the new that
(06:49):
Liberals need to push back on the dumb ideas that
come from their children. The Democrats problem is the energy
of the parties with the young and the younger.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
With the terrorists.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Good, So talk to your children and remind them you
don't really want to live like your heroes in Hamas
all that you do all day.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
It was all made in America.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
Your smartphone, your grub hub, your freedom to bitch about America.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
That's all American stuff.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
You tell your phone you want a milkshake, and a guy.
Speaker 3 (07:20):
Brings it to your house. Please.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
You couldn't survive a week living into Fadaville.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
So imagine that seventy of young Democrats do not love
their country. These are people that not only vote, they
also sit on juries. They become teachers. They will have children,
even even though they'll most of them, they'll still have some,
and they will teach those children to hate this man.
(07:49):
They will teach those children that we are evil people.
That's fot like man, no more like women.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
Michael, I'm not gay, no more.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
One of the things I try to be conscious of
is the privacy and security of my family. They didn't
ask to come into this family. They didn't ask to
be my son, and they certainly didn't ask to be
talked about on the air. And I try to balance
that out. So sometimes there are things I don't tell
(08:30):
about them because it would narrow down. You know where
they're going to be, or what they're doing, or who
their friends are, And I don't think that's fair to them,
and I take that very seriously. And so that's all
by way of saying why this audio clip is from
a while back. Crockett was at a soccer match and
(08:53):
we were playing a team out in the far suburbs
of Houston, and it had taken me over an hour
to get there, and it was a Saturday night and
my wife had something to do with Michael t. So
I got there insanely early, because that's what I'm at
(09:15):
that age, where I get over early. It was a
little text next joint around the corner, and I ate
there before the game, and it was freezing cold in
this game, and so because of the long drive in
the cold weather, well, I have two little handheld Coleman
lanterns that I carry with me for such events, and
(09:35):
people laugh at me hauling these two big Coleman heater
handheld heaters up. But when I get up there, they
all gravitate towards me because these things throw so much
heat off. So there I am to go to the
game and the announcer, God bless him. I don't know
what his story was, but it was one of the
(09:56):
best experiences listening to this guy announced not because he
was good, but because he was so unique, and so
I decided I had to record it. The audio quality
is not good, so lean in, but maybe you'll enjoy
it as much as I did.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Lets it go up in the end, a little bit
of a condision trying to get by a story. Can't
quite do it. Could footwork, perhaps it to the inside.
Can't quite make that pass for it. Gets a piece
of it once again. Nice job clears it. It's gonna
get by, so you can stand. It just goes out town.
(10:34):
Can't get there quite in time.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
Even when our team scored or their team scored.
Speaker 6 (10:40):
He was just real calm and smith. I'm with the ball,
he's dribbling down the sideline and the ball is out.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
So I couldn't see well because I sat down front
and he was up in the box. You know, it's
the field box that you do the announcing from. And
he had the windows closed, obviously because it was so
cold that day for Houston. You know, anybody else would
think anywhere else in the country would say, what are
you wanting about? But for us, it was cold. And
(11:12):
I kept looking up there because I kept imagining that
there was gonna be some smoke leaking out of there.
Speaker 3 (11:18):
Right.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
It was like a Cheech and Chong movie. And I
was just imagining this dude was hot boxing up in
the field house and there's you know. That's that's why
the stories of the things that happen in schools make
make big stories, because we all think back to when
we were a kid. The school is sacred, right, you
can't be smoking a joint up in the field box.
(11:40):
But I'm certain this dude was. I'm certain, and it
makes the story funnier than he was. All right, So
now listen to it and tell me you think I'm wrong.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
Let's it go a little bit of a condision, trying
to get by a story. Can't quite do it worth
perhaps it to the inside, can't quite make that pass
for it. Gets a piece of it once again. Nice
job clears it. It's gonna get by, so you can
(12:10):
stay in. It just goes down to town. Can't get
there quite in time.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Since we're on the subject of funny and fun audio,
there's a fellow who records under the name Earl Pitts,
and this will send to me sometime back by a listener.
Some of the best stuff I discover comes from listeners.
The problem is most of it I never get to
(12:35):
hear because they just send a link. They don't get
any context or whatever. But people will say, hey, here
is this, here's how I found it, here's why it's funny.
Give it a listen. And the best part is you're
mentioned at thirty thirty eight seconds in, or the best
part is blah blah blah blah blah. And so this
next one is earl pits. And I was sitting out
(12:57):
speaking of cold nights, will sit outside around a fire,
and that's when I prep, that's when I read, I
make notes. I listened to speeches, I listened to interviews,
I listened to TV news reports, and I enjoy it.
I enjoy getting right in on that fire. And the
fire was blazing on this particular night. It would do
(13:17):
my that's my idea of heaven. And somebody had sent
me some earl pits to listen to, and so I
kind of started listening to some more earl pits, and
I came across this bit called filling up at the
gas station. And you'll either like it or you want
Some of you won't appreciate it, and that's fine. But
for those of you who do you do? I found
(13:39):
this incredibly relatable.
Speaker 7 (13:49):
You know what makes me sick? You know what makes
me so angry? I just more a suck at juice
out the gas station. Squeegee, you're about to had that
robbery and progress down at gas and gold this morning? Yeah,
I filled up. That's what you call highway robbery anymore.
(14:09):
Now I might be the only guy left on earth
what likes to buy my gas old fashioned way three
bucks at a time. And don't call me cheap neither,
because you used to be three bucks of gas cost
me ten sure once you added in a cup of coffee,
a two chocolate doughnuts, a sausage biscuit and package, a
hosted snowball, and two packs of smokes. Hell, these prices
(14:30):
keep going up. I'm gonna look like that animic bull chicken.
I ain't eating nothing no more. We gas prices are
going by next month, I'm gonna be bumming, booming to
smoke or booming the ride. I can't afford more. Somehow,
I don't know what come over me this morning, but
I pulled in there and I filled up. Now, I
got to tell you, I ain't used to people taking
(14:52):
that kind of money. Off me without least knocking me
over the head with a pipe. First, I seen them
dollar numbers spinning on that. I got on my knees
twice to see if a gash was running out the
bottom of the tank. Twenty seven bucks, twenty seven dollars
for a Philip.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
I wantn't even on e.
Speaker 7 (15:13):
I ain't won them. Sky is falling, the mafia killed Kennedy,
Conspiracy Ntwich. But don't it seem kind of funny to
anybody but me that soon as we get too big
old bowlsos up in the White House, we're looking at
three bucks a gallon for gas. Hello, I say, something
smells pretty fishy around here, And I used to like
(15:36):
stuff it smells fishy, not this wake up for Morico what.
Speaker 3 (15:44):
She said in s finish.
Speaker 8 (15:46):
I just said it to the judge in Spanish, because
I feel like she forgets that we're Hispanic and that
we're the people.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
That she targeted for a book.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
The Michael Verry Show, Running the Shop Suits and Smokey's
in Trouble, the former lead singer of The Miracles, the
Real Talent scout of Motown Records, and oh, by the way,
(16:14):
when he wasn't recruiting, training, building up, promoting, and writing
songs for some of the greatest musical acts of all time.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
He made a little time to sing some himself. Pretty
amazing career, right, But as often happens, sometimes amazing, powerful, talented,
accomplished men have demons or just really struggle with normal behaviors.
(16:58):
Their appetites can sometimes be larger than the law and
consent will allow. Now, it's one thing, if you're having
a consenting relationship, people will judge you for the immorality,
but it's not illegal. Used to be, it's not. But
(17:23):
when you are doing something that, as women now claim
Smokey was doing, is unwanted and was protested against. Four
women who allegedly previously worked for the R and B
soul Icon accused Robinson of sexual battery, assault, false imprisonment,
(17:46):
gender violence. Look, violence is violence. Can we stop with
that nonsense. It's not a worse crime if you punch
somebody because they're black and you're white than it is
if you just punch somebody. We got to stop with
this nonsense and creating a hostile work environment, among other offenses.
According to a May sixth complaint filed in the Los
(18:10):
Angeles County Superior Court and obtained by USA Today. Now
here's the part where it gets rather interesting. The women
who were each reportedly employed as housekeepers at Smokey's home
in Chatsworth, Los Angeles. By the way, he's eighty five,
(18:32):
now claim they were forced to leave their job with
him due to the singer's quote repeated sexual assaults and
sexual harassment, adding that his alleged conduct was quote willful, wanted,
and malicious with a conscious disregard of their rights, privacy,
(18:55):
and feelings. This reporter needs to spend a little more
time reading the case more carefully. I can guarantee you
that their lawyers did not claim that the alleged conduct
was wilful, wanted, and malicious, because if they wanted the conduct,
that would reduce the criminal element of it. It is
(19:17):
not wanted. It is wanton wa n t O N,
which means intentional, without purpose, without without being provoked, without
reacting to something. It's not like someone came up and
slapped you in the face and then you punched them.
Wanton is it's just this idea that you get in
(19:38):
your head and you go do it, and it wasn't
asked far it's not right. It was deliberate, it was unprovoked,
and it's awful. So that's what they are accusing old smokey.
It appears ramon that. I mean, could you figure smoking
had pretty much whoever he wants right? You know, maybe
(19:59):
it's in the Cali Fuhnia water or something, because remember
Ernold Schwarzenegger made a baby with the housekeeper. Do you
remember that? Looks like smoke. He had a hanger in
for some fun time fabulosa. Maybe it was the smell
of fabulosa that got him all wound up. I like
(20:19):
the smell of fabulosa. Do you maybe fabulosa was a
trigger for smoking? You know what I mean? Smoking rocks.
I mean, you know, lounging around the house.
Speaker 8 (20:45):
Turn the knights down in makes me want to get
close because.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
Let me get you.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Clean that your mob willess you know, sexual assaults of
(21:29):
horrible things, all of that true? Yes, yes, yes, but
I do wonder about the timing here. Just to touch,
I think you have to be careful. The problem is
I believe that for so long there were men who
(21:52):
sexually assaulted women, especially in their employee or in some
way or another. The woman had no ability or felt
like they no ability to push back, didn't want to
lose their job, and it was clearly unconsensual and abusive.
(22:12):
And I think there may have been cases. I'm certain
there would have been cases where if a woman did
boldly go to law enforcement that some male law enforcement
officers would have said, all, get over it. Who's going
to believe you. You probably asked for it, you probably
(22:32):
provoked it. Now Here is the problem people want you
to take. Because that was the case, people now want
the exact opposite to be the case. All someone has
to do is claim she was sexually assaulted or sexually harassed,
and we're not allowed to ask a question. They get
a big payout, the person gets prosecuted. And that's not
(22:55):
progress the believe all women? What about Rachel All? What
about Kamala Harris? What about all the other women who lie?
Believe Hillary Clinton? What about women who make faith, who
make fake claims? And later we can't Should we have
believed her when she told us that no, No, that's
(23:16):
that's not judicious. And the healthy thing to do is
to question every single time there is a case like this,
you have to thoroughly question. Now, friends of the victim,
never want It feels frustrating that your credibility is questioned,
but it has to be questioned. You're making a strong
(23:39):
statement here. It has to be questioned always. That is
Anglo American jurisprudence. It ain't pretty, it ain't always nice,
not always easy, but even smoked, even smoke, deserves a
fair trial and the presumption of innisence.
Speaker 7 (23:59):
But we're gonna add a little bit about these warhouses
I know all about.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Ramon wants to know what around the world is.
Speaker 9 (24:05):
Whistling bungholes, spleen splitters, whisker biscuits, honkey riders, hoosker doos hohosker,
don'ts nips and dazers with it without the scooter stick
or one single whistling kiddy chasing.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
There is a scene in No Country for Old Men,
one of my all time favorite movies, where the sheriff
is going back to see I guess his uncle who
was an old law man before him, and he's he's
there to get some advice on how to handle this
case he's working on, and he talks about how things
(24:44):
have gone to hell, and it all started when them
girls started wearing green hair, and that story has always
spoken to me because he says in there Signs and Wonders.
So I came back to the studio after watching it
for the fifteenth time recently, and I decided that we
(25:09):
had to start doing a segment for the fact that
sometimes I see a story and I think to myself,
if if you put this moment in a time capsule
and one hundred years later you looked at it, there
would be that carnival cruise brawl that mayhem there. There
(25:32):
was recently at a in Houston, at a sweet sixteen party.
Guy walks in. They tell him he can't be there.
He's probably in a rival gang or something. So he
pulls out his gun and wounds eighteen and kills one.
Wasn't so sweet after all. It's soured the sweet sixteen party,
(25:55):
and you just think, who does these sorts of things. Well,
just so you don't think I'm picking all minorities, this
guy's a white guy that I'm about to tell you about.
And well it qualifies for a Signs and Wonders segment.
So here we go.
Speaker 10 (26:25):
It's all the damn money, money in the drugs. It's
just damp beyond everything. What's it mean? What's it leading to.
You 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 bones and their noses, it flat
(26:46):
out wouldn't have believe Signs and wonders.
Speaker 7 (26:49):
But I think once you quit here in sir and ma'am,
the rest of them to follow.
Speaker 10 (26:54):
Oh, it's the tide. It's the dismal tide. It is
not the one thing Signs and wonders serve mans, Signs
and wonders. It's the additional signs and wonders.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
Signs and wonders.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
The little background. This fellow was a security guard an
hour north of Houston in a bedroom community called the Woodlands.
It's one of the nicest places to live in the
Greater Houston area. People want to get north of the crime,
north of the crowds, north of the Sweet sixteen parties
(27:38):
where somebody shoots the place up, and it is an
idyllic community. It has a mall there, and there was
a security guard who's working at the mall who was
secretly recording children when they'd go to the bathroom. My brother,
(27:58):
the cop, used to tell me that X crimes have
the highest recidivism rate. When a guy commits a sex crime,
especially on kids, you let him out. The chances he's
going to re offend are almost they're approaching one. They're high.
So you figure this old boys out. He's had his
(28:21):
pictures splashed across the news of every station in Houston.
He's lost his job, he's ashamed. You figure last thing
he'd do, well, he can't work an hour north of Houston.
Last thing he'd do is go an hour south of
Houston in Galveston, which is an island community the other
(28:44):
end of Houston. That's the far north and now this
is far south. Last thing he would do is that
same thing again? Right, you'd be wrong? Sorright?
Speaker 11 (29:00):
Ready facing charges for secretly recording underage girls, is back
in jail, this time in Galveston. Taylor Roy was arrested
Wednesday on a new invasive recording charge. KPRCTWO reporter Corley
Peel is outside the Galveston County jail where Roy is
being held, and she's sharing how Roy was caught a
second time.
Speaker 12 (29:20):
Taylor Roy's arrest here in Galveston County and Montgomery County
are almost exactly a year apart. This time he's accused
of trying to take videos of a child on the beach.
The beaches of Galveston Island are where many families spend
quality time on Easter Weekend. It's where police say a
(29:41):
bystander notice Taylor Roy taking videos and pictures of their child.
The family managed to gather pictures of Roy and his vehicle.
Police quickly identified him as their suspect. Eleven days later,
police tracked Roy down, taking him into custody. During the investigation,
deta dictis learned Roy was already out on bond for
(30:02):
the same crime in Montgomery County. Roy was a security
guard at the Woodlands Mall and a youth tennis coach.
He and his wife, Tasha, were arrested last year after
allegedly creating secret videos of girls as young as ten
and selling them. Roy is accused of recording in many
(30:23):
places where young girls were known to be wearing swimsuits,
like dressing rooms and six Flags Hurricane Harbor. Investigators in
both Galveson County and Montgomery County now working together to
solve Roy's accused crimes. Taylor Roy is currently being held
in the Galveson County Jail on a seventy five thousand
dollars bond. His next court date has not been set yet.
(30:45):
I did reach out to the Montgomery County District Attorney's
office to find out if his new charge here in
Galveson will have an impact on his bond in Montgomery County.
Their spokesperson says that generally speaking, if someone is out
on bond with conditions and they commit a new offense
and maybe a basis to ask a judge to set
aside that bond, increase the bond, or make changes to
(31:08):
the bond conditions. But this is an active and ongoing
investigation in Galveston. Corley Peel KPRC to News.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
I don't feel sorry for this guy. I don't empathize
with criminals because there are real victims of these sorts
of things. But I do look at them as peculiar.
And I will tell you that I believe something goes
(31:37):
wrong in a brain for somebody to want to do that.
I believe something goes wrong in a brain that in
almost every case cannot be fixed. You know, I'm not
a heroin addict, because I've never tried heroin. Right, there
are things that scare me. Things are areas you just
(31:58):
don't go. You don't leave your wife for a stripper
who you met at the strip club if you don't
go to the strip club, Just that simple. You don't
get hooked on heroin if you don't try it the
first time. It's like this guy had one shot at
(32:19):
not doing this. I don't think he intended for his
life to fall apart like this. A lot of guys
like this will suck start a shotgun because they see
no upside from it. But boy, that's a horrible, horrible
place to be in your life, a terrible horror. Imagine
(32:41):
the demons he's got to put him. He knows he's
been caught before. So being caught, you know, when you
had teenage kids like I do, you got to tell them, hey,
don't drive fast, you can die. Oh I won't die.
How about this guy over here? Oh dad, you always
know somebody died. This guy's been caught before, so when
he got arrested this second, I can't imagine how awful.
(33:01):
