Episode Transcript

(00:03):
What we need is more common sensebreaking down the world's nonsense about how American
common sense will see us through withthe common sense of Houston. I'm just
pro common sense for Houston from Houston. This he's the Jimmy Barrett Show,

(00:26):
brought to you by viewind dot Com. Now here's Jimmy Barrett. All right,
welcome to the show. We gota full show for you today.
And in our next segment, we'regoing to talk to a doctor Bord certified
Houston plastic surgeon. Do you heardthey made an arrest? Was it today?
Yestach? I remember of his dayyesterday of a guy who calls himself

(00:46):
mister injector, and evidently he injectssome kind of liquid into women's butts to
try to give them a better lookingbottom. And there's no notice that his
name is mister injector, not doctorinjector. And this is Brendon in the

(01:07):
heels of the two Hispanic women whowere arrested in the last week or so
for doing the same thing, doingbutt injections. What is what the butt
injections? More in that story comingup. First of all, let's talk
a little bit about this the Trumptrial back on today they're picking more jurors.
They have picked seven so far.Last night on his show Jesse Waters

(01:32):
Prime Time, Jesse had on awoman who is a jury consultant. You
know a lot of these attorneys hireconsultants to you know, kind of analyze
the juror pool to see who wouldbe a good fit it might be sympathetic
to their case, and who wouldn'tbe a good fit. So here he
is with her and they're talking aboutthe first five jurors they got picked and

(01:56):
who they a little bit about whothey are at least their backgrounds and what
we might bill surmise about how sympatheticor anti Trump they may be. Here
we go, So the foreman's asalesman from Harlem, but he was born
in Ireland, didn't finish college,married, no kids. Do you think
this guy's a defense juror? He'sa defense gur This is a juror that's

(02:21):
coming to this country, right.He's looking at this as a land of
opportunity and he's trumpeting everything that hebelieves in. So when I look at
this particular juror and that he isalso a middle class citizen and the type
of position that he has is nonauthoritarian. I think this is definitely a
defensejur and a very strong one.Number two's the nurse. This nurse scares

(02:44):
me if I'm Trump. She's fromthe Upper East Side, master's degree,
not married, no kids, liveswith her fiance, gets her news from
the New York Times and CNN.Yeah, goodbye. You know it sounded
good until I heard the CNN partof it and automa automatically strike strike that

(03:05):
so you can't strike, all right? And then you got an Asian lawyer.
Yeah, and he's a corporate guy, his law firm. You go
right on it, says DEI allover it. What do you think about
him? No, definitely no,because he's too influential. You get him
into the get him into deliberations,and he can sway those jurors that are
in there. So absolutely no.Now here's a juror that I like.

(03:27):
Puerto Rican born there says Trump's fascinatingand mysterious and he has a grandchildren.
I mean that's that's pretty good,right, Yes, And I see this
one as a Trump apprentice. Thisis someone that is really fascinated with Donald
Trump. He finds a mysterious andI think that he's going to be sitting
there and on wonder just watching.Uh, you know, Donald Trump in

(03:51):
the jury during the whole jury process, So I think he's definitely a great
defense jury. Okay, And itonly takes one to have it hung.
Your number five? Now, thisone, I could go either way.
Black woman in her twenties, doesn'tfollow the news, knew nothing of any
of Trump charges. She's a teacher, not married, no kids, and

(04:12):
all of her friends hate Trump.But I don't know. I'm not so
sure about her. What do youthink? Yeah, when I'm concerned about
her? For number one, usuallyI don't like teachers on the defense side,
I usually, you know, thoseare one of my eliminations. But
the other part, why don't youlike teachers because they're usually very opinionated,
They're very right and wrong. AndI think that's going to be a real

(04:35):
problem because I see Donald Trump's jurorsbeing the ones that are in those gray
areas, not those black and whiteauthoritarian jeurs, more egalitarian. And also
is you're going to be influenced byher own community within the African emni between
Yeah, I find that fascinating.Do you find that fascinating how they go

(04:58):
about trying to figure out who's likelyto be sympathetic to your cause in picking
juries. Of course, the biggerof the trial, the more likely you're
to have a jury consultant like this. I think most attorneys have a certain
level of training of picking this stuffout themselves. I mean, you can't
expect to get a whole lot ofconservatives in Manhattan, New York. So
you know, all Trump really needsis a couple of people they cannot be

(05:20):
swayed to find him guilty, andthen he end up with the hung jury.
That's probably what's gonna happen here,hung jury. All right. Meantime,
after being in court on Tuesday,where did Trump go? Trump went
to a bodega, the same Boatdegaby the way, where the man running
the bodega uh stabbed and killed aguy who was trying to stab him and

(05:40):
rob him. And Alvin Bragg,the DA who was prosecuting Trump, wanted
to well he did. He didbring charges, murder charges against this guy,
until public opinion got to the pointwhere he had to take a walk
it all back here. Listen,this is in Harlem, you know,
a predominantly black community. Listen tothe welcome and the channing going on in
the background when Trump shut this bodega. They want law in order. They

(06:01):
have a lot of crime, tremendouscrime where their stores are being robbed.
We have to straighten out now thatincludes crime. These guys are great people,
great friends, but they have tremendouscrimes. It's Alvin Bragg's well.
Alvin Bragg does nothing. He goesafter guys like Trump who did nothing wrong.
Violent criminals, murderers. They knowthere are hundreds of murderers all over

(06:25):
the city. They know who theyare. They don't pick them up.
They go after Trump. This manis the epitomy of grace under fire.
I mean, forget about the factthat he was spied on, he was
in beach twice. They took ahalf a billion dollars from him, They've
indicted him four times. They're lookingto put him in jail. This guy's
out campaigning as soon as quarter isout. And you know this guy Bragg,

(06:45):
I gotta tell you he is amake beulief prosecutor. This guy's job
is to protect the criminal and forgetabout the victim. Alvin Bragg is the
kind of guy who forgives those whorob people with weapons, but then indicts
people who defend themselves with weapons.This guy is a pathetic example of what's
going on. And he can talkabout crime being down in New York,

(07:09):
Alvin Bragg all he wants, he'sa fool. First of all, police
aren't making arrest because there aren't enoughof them. Secondly, people aren't reporting
crimes because they know that nothing's goingto happen. And the idea, and
I can speak to this, theidea of downgrading nine hundred and thirty eight
of the most serious felony charges andreducing felonies to misdemeanors in almost a thousand

(07:32):
cases, sixty percent reduced. Imean, this is sad, this is
pathetic, that is but it iswhat it is, right, it is
what it is. But that welcomehe got in Harlem, I mean that
gets your attention a little bit.Do you think Biden would get a welcome
like that anywhere anywhere at all?Lit alone Harlem. All right, we're
gonna take a little break, we'regonna come back. We're going to talk

(07:54):
about this mister injector arrest with aHouston certified surgeon. Why are people going
to people that have no medical backgroundto get injections to try to lift their
butts or to get rid of theirwrinkles. I don't quite understand what's going
on in their heads. More onthat story coming up next year on A
nine fifty KPRC. I don't knowif this is happening in other parts of

(08:26):
the country. My suspicion as itprobably is. But we've had two,
well I guess technically three arrest inthe last week or two for people who
are injecting people in the butt withsome sort of a substance. I assume
they are telling these people they're injectingthat it's going to enhance their bottoms.

(08:48):
I could only assume that. Joiningus to talk about it today is Houston
based Board certified plastic surgeon, doctorHerman Newell. Doctor Newell, Welcome to
AM nine to fifty KPRC. Whatwhat do you think is going on in
the minds of people that are lettingpeople that have names like mister injector just
yes inject stick, stick a needlein your button and put some sort of

(09:11):
a foreign substance in there. Yes, it's very traumatic to to to believe
that these people are doing that.Uh. First of all, UH,
there's no filler that is FDA approvedto be injected in the buttocks. Uh,
except for your own fat, andthat has to be done in the

(09:33):
operating room by basically a borster fireplastic surgeon that knows how to do it.
So many people are told that theyare some fillers that are approved and
they are okay to be injected inthe buttocks. And that's not correct.
Okay, But but why wouldn't yougo to I'll give you an example here.

(09:54):
Did you see the mugshots of thetwo women who've got arrested for doing
this? Yes? I I did, and there's terry. Women know it's
beyond it looks like they've been experimentingon themselves. You're going to walk up
to somebody and offer to do thisfor them, One look at their face
should have made you go, oh, hell no, I'm not doing this.

(10:16):
Absolutely absolutely. They might be fasttalking women. You know that they
can convince with a tremendous power convictionthat tell people that it's okay to do
it. And they've been doing itforever. And I know that lady that
Carr says that she's been doing itfor twenty years, So you know they

(10:41):
do it for a long time.I'm guessing I don't know how they got
caught this time. I'm guessing maybesomebody actually reported them, or somebody complained,
maybe somebody realized that the results theywere getting were not their promised results.
Yes, apparently this is the firsttime this guy has been a problem
with the law. Back in twentytwenty he was basically told we were slapping

(11:05):
the hand, not to do it. Then in twenty two he was sued
because of a botched product injection.And now more women are coming up saying
that indeed they were traumatized by thissame individual, So it's another first time.
I'm guessing that probably it took along time for some of these women

(11:26):
to come forward and complain about theguy because they're probably embarrassed, right.
Yes, not only that, butalso a lot of the problems are complications
that you see in situations like thisarise later in time, so it's not
immediate. It could be immediate likean infection, but it could also be
granny lomas and masses that form ina period of time, so they might

(11:52):
have been injected, you know,three four years ago and then start to
see the problems. All right,doctor no, I'd like to kind of
get into the the psychology or psychiatry, if you will, of these women
who are getting this done. AndI guess more and more men are also
getting plastic surgery. Now, obviouslyyou do this for a living. There's
nothing wrong with plastic surgery. Butit seems that we have gotten to a

(12:16):
point as a society. And Iknow if we want to blame social media
for this or keeping up with theJoneses, but is it my imagination?
Are we getting more and more vainas far as our appearance and the aging
process? Yes, and you shareit in the spot. I think social
media has had a lot to dowith this. Influencers come up and they

(12:37):
are really influencing people about the wayyou should look. Now that it's easy
to look that way and this certainindividual, famous individual looks great and you
should be imitating that, and it'sa problem. I mean, there are
things you can do and things youshouldn't be doing. And if you decide

(12:58):
to do something, make sure yougo with somebody that knows what he's doing
and certainly is qualified to do surgicalprocedures. Now, just out of curiosity,
I don't know how many years you'vebeen a plastic surgery. How many
How many years has been? Thirtyone years? Wow? Okay, in

(13:18):
thirty one years, have you seena difference in the type of people who
are asking for plastic surgery or thetypes of procedures they're asking for. Yes,
yes, I've seen it. LikeI said, I think that social
media has a lot to do withthis. Rarely in the past did we

(13:39):
ever injected anything too the buttocks.Now it's more common, But like I
said, the proper way of doingis using your own fab and I do
it all the time. But totry to do it in a clindestine,
in a clinic with a cheap approach, it's a problem, a big problem.

(14:01):
Now, why why do they wantto have these butt injections? Do
they feel their butts are too flat? What where are there the complaints about
their current butts too flat? Yeah, they're flat. You know, you
have the uh, the influencers thatcan name, you know, the Kardashians
and this and that and and theywant to look like that, and they

(14:22):
say that it's possible to do it, and and uh, you know,
most of the time it is notpossible. You have to have a special
anatomy to create curves like that.I'm not quite sure why anybody wants a
Kardashian But but okay, is breastaugmentation still your top procedure for women?
Uh? Actually, now that hasgone down and light posuction to uh sculpt

(14:48):
about it is probably the top procedurefor women. And now, uh,
the enhancement of the bullocks what theycall bbls with with your own fat uh
is Uh. It's a pretty popularoperation. Okay, must be because then
again we got got the fake,the fake medical people out there doing the
thing. What about men? Areyou seeing more men opting for plastic surgery?

(15:11):
Yes? Back, you know,thirty years ago, I can tell
you that probably about two percent orfive percent of my practice was men asking
for surgeries. Now it's close totwenty five percent, So so yes,
there are more men interested in inin changes. What are the typical procedures

(15:33):
that men are interested in doing?Okay, Typically the young crowd does the
liposuction abdumble etching to give her alittle more her cullion. Look, you
know, muscular, well, thefake the fake six pack, the fake
six pack exactly, there you go, so you look like you have a

(15:54):
six pack even though you didn't workout to get it. That's right,
that's right. And and so that'sthe younger group, and then the older
group. You know, when theyhave they see signs of aging the upper
eye lids and a little bit ofgrafting at times a facelift, but that

(16:15):
by far the most common. IsLIKEO sution for the for the common soul.
Okay, uh, As far asfacelifts go, I think, you
know, we've all seen good facelifts, and we've all seen facelifts that have
gone horribly wrong. And I haveto think that the ones that have gone
wrong. I mean, I'm surethat there are great plastic surgeons, good
plastic surgeons and not so great plasticsurgeons. But but I have to think

(16:38):
that a lot of times when itwhen it when it really looks bad,
it's because it's been done multiple times, or it has been done it has
been done in an effort to tryto create a look that just doesn't fit
with the with the person who's havingthe procedure done. And I think if
somebody like a Wayne Newton, forexample, who is he's get us like

(17:00):
you could bounce a quarter off ofit, but it doesn't look right,
right, Yes, I in myin my book, lesser is better,
especially in men, uh and inwomen too. But uh, I disliked
the plastic look. I think it'sfake and it's noticeable for a mile away.
So so uh, you know,you have to also play with the

(17:23):
psychology of the patients. Sometimes patientsare somewhat you know, uh, compromised
mentally and and and they they're lookingfor something that is unreal and and their
expectations are totally and realistic. Andhave you ever turned anybody down? Yes,
many times. Okay, what isthe strange request you've ever gotten that

(17:45):
you had to turn down? Tolook like a catwoman? You know?
Uh, you just pulled the eyesso high and on the ladd side and
inject the cheeks with with a lotof filler to make it look a little
more sea line looking. And whydid she want why did she say she
wanted to look like a cat becausethere was some lady that they called a

(18:10):
cat lady. And well I remember, yeah, yeah, yeah, she's
scary looking, very scary looking.I don't get it. Okay, all
right, You've you've got to meetsome very interesting characters in your line of
work. But I'm so glad youjoined me today. Thank you for coming
on the show, doctor Nowell,my pleasure, my pleasure, take care
by no Yeah that doctor Hermain Newelljoining us here at name of nine fifty

(18:34):
k PRC and the Jimmy Verrett Show. Why are we paying Superintendent's a half
a million dollars a year? We'regoing to get into that one next here
on a nine fifty k PRC.All right, there's a couple of things

(18:56):
that are concerning me about the jobmarket in general right now. Talked a
little bit about it on the morningshow today on KTRH. We talked about
the number of jobs that are beingcreated and what the jobs are and who
the jobs are. With a lotof the jobs, when you see figure
like three hundred thousand dollars jobs werecreated this last month, a lot of
those were part time jobs, anda lot of those were jobs that were

(19:19):
being filled by somebody who already hadanother job, who's doing a side hustle
in order to be able to affordBidenomics in already be able to deal with
inflation. So that excuse the jobnumbers. Here's the other thing that's painfully
obvious. How many of these jobsare government jobs working for the government or
government entities. And what's even morealarming about that is how much some of

(19:41):
these jobs are paying. Join usto talk about that is Jose Melendis with
the Texas Public Policy Foundation. Welcometo the show, Jose. I know
a perfect example of what we're talkingabout here is a superintendent of public schools.
I can't remember what ISD this is, but he's making about a half
a million dollars a year. WhileJimmy, thank you for having me.

(20:02):
It's a pleasure to be on.And the superintendent you're referring to is superintendent
of sci fi ID, which isout in the Houston area, who makes
five hundred and thirty six thousand dollars. So on this topic, according to
the new TA data that was justreleased, we're seeing a rise in superintendent
salaries across Texas. And this isdespite the fact that enrollment continues to fall

(20:26):
across the state. So what's theexplanation. What are they telling you as
far as why these salaries are sohigh? And that's that's something we need
to find out. That's the bigquestion mark, right. You know,
you look at the top ten superintendent, eight of them make more than the
president of the United States, whomakes a salary of four hundred thousand dollars.

(20:47):
What's ian more striking? Eighty nineof those superintendents make more than three
hundred thousand dollars, and they're seeminglyno correlation. We're trying to look at
the data to see, well,where are they coming up with these numbers
of these salaries, and there's nocorrelation between what a superintendent salary is and
say the school district and enrollment numbers. In fact, if you look at

(21:08):
the top three earners, number onesci frais D superintendent takes home five hundred
and thirty six thousand dollars. Numbertwo takes home four hundred and seventy seven
thousand dollars. But if you lookat the enrollment numbers, si FRAISD has
one hundred and eighteen thousand students,while she Barber's Hill is D, which
is number two, has just alittle over seven thousand students enrolled. That's

(21:33):
less than ten percent of Sci FiSD. You know, I guess you
could make a case for Let's say, for example, you wanted to get
one of the top superintendents in thecountry to come in and help your failing
school system. Let's use Houston ISDas an example of that, yeah,
which has basically been taken over bythe state. I think it would probably
be worth it to the people ifyou used to pay five hundred thousand dollars

(21:55):
a year, if somebody could actuallyget in that job and turn that school
system around. Improve the test scores, improve the grades, and improve teacher
morale, improve everything necessary to brida kid with a good education. But
other than that, I don't know, Especially some of these suburban districts which
don't have any of the same problemsthat you have in a major urban district,
I don't know how you make acase for it. I would agree

(22:18):
with that not only are enrollment numbersdown, but we're seeing test scores down,
and as you mentioned, houstonizedd yes, special cases can be made.
In fact, the new incoming superintendentfor Houston IZEDT who took cover when the
state came in, said that hefound a lot of abuse in terms of
dollars being spent within the ISD.So, you know, it gets to

(22:40):
show that this is something that canbe prevalent across school districts in the state
of Texas. I think the bigissue at hand here is an issue morale.
You know, we think of publicsector leaders as individuals who are in
the arena to serve their communities,not seeking to get lucrative salaries or get
rich off the taxpayer dime. Yeah, I think I'd rather see some of

(23:00):
that money spent on really great teachers, not just on every teacher, but
i'm really great teachers who prove thatthey can get the job done under some
trying circumstances. All right, Sothe responsible party, I guess technically for
hiring these superintendents are the school boards. Correct, That's correct. So is
there any oversight on school boards asfar as what they can offer? I

(23:21):
mean, they're spending tax payer dollars. That's something we need to crack down
on. And I don't know thatthere's oversighter these school boards and how they
select salaries for these superintendents. Butwe do need to do is turn to
the legislature. We need to findsolutions through the leg stay to process.
In fact, in the past coupleof sessions or have in two proposals that
have been put forward from the legislature, one would have called for a limit

(23:47):
on public employee salaries across all politicalsubdivisions. So thank cities, counties,
school districts, and the limit wassaid at no more than what the Governor
of Texas makes. What's the what'sthe current seller of Governor Abbot? So
Governor Arabbit is just under two dredthousand dollars. Okay. The other proposal

(24:10):
that was a little more narrow wouldhave been more specific to specifically school district
superintendents, and that would have setthe limit at no more than one hundred
and fifty percent of what the governorof Texas makes. Okay, Well,
you're we're assuming that that being governorof Texas is the most important job you
can have in Texas, and it'dbe hard to argue against that. So

(24:30):
that seems like a fair metric tomeasure it against. Would you agree with
that absolutely? I think that's it'sa very good metric. You think of
the governor of Texas, that's theexecutive of the state, and the idea
that a school superintendent is making moreit's a little troubling, and I think
something that it's a good parameter forall other public employees. Yeah, I

(24:53):
would. I wouldn't mind seeing superintendentpay tied somehow into This is the one
thing that you would have a verydifficult time convincing anybody in the education business
to go along with But it seemsto me that at least a portion of
a superintendent salary should be tied toresults. In other words, if you
in know words, here's your here'syour base pay. Here's how much we're

(25:14):
gonna pay you. We're gonna payyou. One hundred thousand is an example,
one hundred thousand dollars a year basepay. If you achieve x amount
of you know, average test scores, your pay goes to one hundred and
twenty five thousand dollars a year.If if you if you retain the majority
of your teachers, it goes onehundred and fifty thousand. In other words,
job performance, the things that canbe measured. I think what you're
talking about is similar to we callthe free market, where a business that

(25:37):
does good means more money, meanshigher salaries, and we just don't see
that from school districts. You know, school districts may have failing test course,
shooting test scores across math, youknow, reading, but yet salaries
for superintendents continue to go up.I think if we introduced healthy competition among
school districts, nerd to compete todrive up test course. And yes,

(26:02):
you can make the case for increasingthe superintendent salary. Okay, why have
superintendents been afforded this luxury that otherschool employees are not. My wife works
in the public school system and she'sin a secretary position, and I think
she probably makes She doesn't care becauseshe doesn't do it for the money.

(26:23):
She does it because she loves todo what she does. But she probably
makes twenty four to twenty five thousanddollars a year. Teachers make maybe sixty
seventy thousand dollars a year, andthen you have superintendent making half a million
dollars a year. How they getso out of whack? I think you
make a great point. So notenough of a spotlight has been shown on

(26:44):
this issue, and we keep hearingfrom the other side that teachers need to
make higher salaries. And I absolutelybelieve that the teachers do you need to
make a higher salary? Well,the good teachers need to make the higher
salary. Correct, the good teachersdo. But yet it's a super attendance
for saying this. It's a lotof the public education crowd who's telling us

(27:07):
that super teachers here to make highersalaries. Meanwhile, they're raising their own
salaries. I think, you know, we could use a lot of that
money and put it into teacher paywell. I don't think that's a bad
idea. I don't know how muchmore you know, you could pay it
if you were to reduce let's sayyou reduce a five hundred dollarsand dollars salary
to two hundred and fifty grand.They's short than fifty thousand dollars, but

(27:30):
that's a lot of people to spreadit to. Probab wouldn't amount too much,
would it. It's a start,true enough, guys, you got
to start somewhere, all right,Jose, thanks for bringing our attention to
it. I'm glad we had achance to talk about it. Absolutely.
Thanks so much, Jimmy, youbet take care. Jose Melendez with a
Texas Public Policy Foundation. We're backwith more in a moment. Jimmy ver

(27:52):
show here an AM nine fifty KPRC. All right, final secret today,
I thought we'd share little audio withyou from a couple of things that the
stories that we've kind of been followinghere for the last several weeks, maybe
even more than a month. Insome cases. The first one I want

(28:15):
to, you know, kind ofbring up to date on is you heard
what happened in the Senate yesterday rightregarding impeaching Alejandro Majorcis. Yeah, they
as expected, the Democrats tabled it. They all voted together on this,
so it will there will be noimpeachment trial. He has been impeached by

(28:36):
the House, but there's no impeachmenttrial to try to remove him from office.
So there you go. Nothing accomplished, not that we thought that anything
would be accomplished. I will saythis, it did fire up a few
Republicans. It fired up, inparticular, Senator Ted Cruz. This is
pretty impassioned. Take a listen toSenator Ted Cruz talking to the Democrats about
not going through with the impeachment trial. Well, we just witnessed was a

(28:57):
travesty. It was a travesty tothe Constitution, and it was a travesty
to the American people. And it'simportant to understand why the Democrats did what
they did. We're here on theSenate floor right now, but I want
the record to reflect. I'm goingto do a very accurate count of the

(29:18):
number of Democrats who are with us. That would be zero other than the
presiding officer, and somebody has topreside. Not a single Democrats senator chose
to come to this floor and listento one word of evidence. When it

(29:38):
comes to the Constitution, the Democratsconcluded that Joe Biden and Alejandro majorcis defying
federal law, ignoring the text ofthe statue, deliberately releasing criminal, illegal
aliens over and over and over again. That's just hunky dory. You can't

(30:00):
impeach him for that. Every Democratjust voted. By the way, every
cabinet member, guess what, You'vejust been given a blank slate. Ignore
the law. When Democrats are incharge of the Senate, the entire cabinet
could ignore the law. It isno longer impeachable in Democrat Wonderland when a

(30:22):
member of the executive branch openly defiesthe law. By the way, every
Democrat just voted that way. Theydidn't hear one word of argument. The
Majority leader didn't stand up and sayhere's the reason why it's okay. No,
he didn't present that argument. Theydidn't read a brief. Nobody wrote
a brief. They didn't care enoughto know what Senator Lee just laid out

(30:47):
that the Biden Department of Justice wentin front of the US Supreme Court and
said, if the executive defies thelaw, the answers impeachment. The willingness
of every Democrat to be blatantly hypocritical. Just last year, the Biden Justice
Apartment said no, no, no, no, you can't sue in court

(31:10):
when we abide the administration defire thelaw. The answer is impeachment. In
like three card money, every SenateDemocrat said no, no, no,
no, the answer is not impeachment. I don't know what it is.
Actually I do know what it is. There's only one answered left, which
is everyone who is unhappy about theopen border shows up in November and to

(31:33):
use the phrase, throw the bumsout. There you go. That's all
you can do. Really, whenwe get right down to it, Even
if you throw the bums out,how much confidence do you have left anymore
that anything will ever happen to drainthat swamp in Washington, DC. I
have very little patience left for it, a very little hope left for it.

(31:57):
So much so I'm gonna move righton to something else. And this
is just a follow up a storythat we've been following for the last week
or so. Uri Berl Lennard,that's the editor at one of the editors
at NPR who was a whistleblower,that there's no diversity of thought, there's
nobody of any other political persuasion otherthan liberals that work for NPR. None

(32:22):
of this is surprising, Dnavius,right, But what is I guess even
more surprising as we find out moreabout the CEO. We find out she's
as woke as the day is long. She has no broadcasting background whatsoever.
What qualifies her to be the CEOof NPR. Why are we paying taxpayer
dollars to have her run an armfor the Democratic National Committee. Here is

(32:44):
Raymond de Royo on that topic,and the new NPR chief who suspended him
said his comments were disrespectful, hurtful, and demeaning, particularly Berliner's comments that
NPR was more focused on diversity thanquality journalism. Remember NPR's government fund.
And this is the new CEO,Catherine Maher in action. Perhaps for our

(33:06):
most tricky disagreements, seeking the truthand seeking to convince others of the truth
might not be the right place tostart. I'm certain that the truth exists
for you, and probably for theperson sitting next to you. But this
may not be the same truth.The number one challenge here that we see

(33:28):
is, of course, the FirstAmendment in the United States is a fairly
robust protection of rights. Totally,Laura. As a result of wonderful comments
like that and mar the CEO justifyinglooting in the name of racial justice,
now Uri Berliner, the whistle blowingeditor, has resigned. He wrote today,

(33:50):
I cannot work in a newsroom whereI'm disparaged by the new CEO whose
divisive views confirmed the very problems atNPR I cite in my free press essay.
I mean, this is the lastthing they should have done, Laura.
It bespeaks the lack of what hecalled the absence of viewpoint diversity in

(34:12):
that newsroom. And I'm gonna likethis where truth, I guess, is
just fungible. You know. Iwonder if there is any newsroom left though,
when you get right down to it, that has any diversity of opinion.
I don't think there's any diversity ofopinion at CNN or at MSNBC.
There might be some at Fox,but not in a ton They know who

(34:35):
their audience is. But the differencebetween all of those and MPR is very
simple. The other ones are broadcasters. They make money based on selling commercials.
That's how they make money. NPRdoesn't run commercials. They do fundraising
and they take your tax dollars.So here's what I say, NPR.
You can be whatever you want tobe if you are an actual broadcaster and

(35:00):
lay by the rules that broadcasters do. No more government funding. It's time
to defund in PR. All right, listen, y'all, have a great
day. See you tomorrow morning breaknearly five am to share over on news
