(00:03):
What we need is more common sense. Common We got used plane breaking down
the world's nonsense about how American commonsense. We'll see us through with the
common sense of Houston. I'm justpro common sense for Houston from Houston is
talking about. This is the JimmyBarrett Show, brought to you by viewin

(00:27):
dot Com. Now here's Jimmy Barrett. If I were to ask you for
a list of what you consider tobe the most beautiful cities in the United
States of America, what would makeyour short list of beautiful cities? Um,
there used to be a time whereprobably at least number one, two

(00:48):
or three, top three, justabout anybody's list would have been San Francisco.
But that probably is no longer true. Well, it's no longer true
for people who have been back toSan Francisco since the last time they were
there. I have to have beenI haven't been there a long long time.
I went to San Francisco. WhenI go to San Francisco, well,
this is easy to remember. Onmy first honeymoon, when I got

(01:11):
married way back, this would havebeen let's just say, a long long
time ago, better part of thirtyfive years ago, probably maybe even a
little bit longer than that. Atthis point, Matthew was never my strong
suit. That's not really important anyway. Let's put this way long time ago,
when San Francisco, like all ofCalifornia, was considered very beautiful,

(01:34):
and you know, we did theclassic things. We went on a honeymoon.
We went to California. We wentto Los Angeles first, and then
we went to San Francisco and thencame back to Michigan, which is where
we were living at the time.And I thought California was the most beautiful
place I'd ever seen. Then again, I grew up in the Midwest.

(01:57):
I wasn't used to seeing the PacificOcean and low humidity and you know,
just really nice weather all the time. And the thing I remember remember a
lot of things about San Francisco becausewe did all the touristy things. Uh
you know, we did the cablecars, and we did Lombardi Street.
Isn't that the one that's like themost curved road in all of America?

(02:20):
Lombardi Street? And we did theAlcatraz tour and all those types of things,
And I just remembered being a veryvibrant city, a very safe city,
a very clean city. None ofthose things are true anymore about San
Francisco. San Francisco has become adump by all reports. I haven't been
there to see it in person.I'm not sure I want to go back.

(02:42):
My marais of San Francisco from along time ago, and they're all
very pleasant memories. I mean itaside from politics, aside, you know,
take politics out of it. Idon't consider politics when I consider beauty,
at least not beauty in in objectsversus people. It's not the city's
fault that is such a liberal hellhole. It's I mean, it's not the
fault of the buildings in San Francisco, or the design of the city,

(03:07):
or any of those types of things. But anyway, Dave Chappelle evidently lives
at least part time in the SanFrancisco Bay area, and he's known these
days the commedian, has known thesedays for just kind of popping in sometimes
and doing comedy sets. So hedrops in the other day, he does
a comedy set, and he's makingall these jokes about San Francisco. You
know, what y'all need is abatman, was one of the things he

(03:29):
said. What else he had allkinds of jokes, you know, about
about all the homeless issues and whata cesspool it's become. And you know,
it's funny material, but kind offunny in a sad sort of way
because he's calling out the city forexactly what it is these days. A
hell hold. Jimmy Payla, who'son Fox these days, also a comedian.

(03:52):
By the way, here's his reactionto what Dave Chappelle had to say
by calling out San Francisco. Ilove that Chappelle segment. Everyone's writing at
it. He said this town needsa batman, and the people of San
Francisco were like, um, it'sbat them. You can't just assume as
gender and that's why your city's crushed. I've been to San Francisco, Me
and Jenny have been there a lotfor people who haven't gone. If you

(04:14):
remember the thriller video Roman, Michael'swalking home from the movie theater and all
of sudden, everybody starts coming outof the manholes and the clothes are ripped
and they're beat up. I mean, looking back, the most shocking part
of the video is Michael Jackson havinga girlfriend. But if we can move
forward to what was actually going onin the periphery. It was a society
that had kind of let itself go. San Francisco is it's sad. But
what Saturday to me is not Chappellecalling out Frisco. It's that he could

(04:38):
have been in about ten democratic runcities around the country and issued the same
declaration, let's not act like wherewe are in times squares. He's fat
like Club med right now. It'sa mess. Why is this important,
Jimmy to hear Chappelle say this,because he's not speaking from like a politically
motivated place, you know, He'scoming at it as a comic and medians

(05:00):
to succeed, the audience has toagree with the basic truth and whatever the
joke premise happens to be. Youknow. So if the premises, hey,
this place is a dump, theaudience on some level has to be
nodding in agreement. And it's kindof hard not to. When Whole Foods
leaves. Understand, Whole Foods hasmoney, they're owned by Amazon. If
they can't stick it out, whathope is there for the little guy?

(05:21):
You know? And that's said becauseI like you love San Francisco. We've
been there with Jenny and Lincoln tosee the seals and Alcatraz, and Lincoln
actually wants to go back to SanFrancisco this summer, but we actually decided
to go someplace safer like Baghdad.So we're safer like Baghdad. And you
know, we've talked a lot aboutbud Light, right and Anheuser Bush and

(05:44):
took them to task for their woketransad and their sales continue to plummet.
Their stock is in the is inthe crapper. I mean, things could
not be going worse. But asit turns out, they're not the only
one that's maybe guilty of being alittle to woke Miller Light. If you
were switching over to Miller Life frombud Light, you might want to know
about this ad. Now, thisad goes back to March. Okay,

(06:06):
it's it's made. This is goingback to before the controversy at a bud
Light. And I'm sure they wishthey could bank this thing disappear, but
this is an ad that they did. It's got a lot of s bombs,
had to be edited out, soit's not obviously a traditional commercial ad
that you find on TV, butit's an ad they did bringing feminism to

(06:27):
miller Light. Listen to this.Here's a little known fact that women were
among the very first to brew beer. Whoever, from Mesopotamia to the Middle
Ages to Colonial America, women werethe ones doing the brewin centuries later,
How did the industry pay homage tothe founding mothers of beer? They put
us in bikinis. Wow, lookat this wild It's time beer made it

(06:55):
up to women. So today MillerLight is on a mission to clean up
not just there, the whole beerindustry. Miller Light has been scouring the
internet for all this and buying itback so that you can turn it into
good for women brewers. Literally,how you ask ladies speak it away.
First, we turned the badge andinto compost that if you compost to warves.

(07:16):
Pushed me out a beautiful fertilizer thatgood helps farmers grow quality hogs,
which has been donated to women brewersto make their own really good. But
there's definitely more shed down there,and your attic in the garage and your
parents' basement. Send anything you gotinto miller Light and they'll turn that into
good. Two. So here's towomen, because without us, there would

(07:42):
be no beer. It's that right, sag all yours with a hit into
us. You'll all your old MillerLight memorabili lill chicks and Borkhinis and all
that kind of stuff, because we'rea a we're a proud woman's beer.
Is that okay? It's a feministapproach. It's not as bad as the

(08:03):
trans approach, but it is again, who's your audience for Millerlite? How
many women are drinking Miller lighte versushow many men are drinking Miller lte?
I mean, is there a didepartment at the Miller Brewing Company had something
to do with this one? Iwonder back with more of the moment Jimmy
Bart show a nine fifty kerc Allright, I suppose we should do a

(08:31):
segment today on the Durham Report.Right. Rather than for me to paraphrase
what the Durham Report says, I'mgoing to give you this little Fox report.
This Fox report aired yesterday. It'sDavid Spunt, He's one of the
reporters at Fox. This is rightafter the news broke that the Durham Report
had been released, you know,four years after it all began. Here

(08:52):
is what mister Spunt had to sayabout what The contents were of the Durham
Report on the FBI in Trump andRussia May thirteenth, twenty nineteen. That
is when John Durham, then USattorney in Connecticut, was tapped to look
at the origins of the Trump Russiaprobe. He wrote today in his three
hundred and six page report that thefindings are sobering. There's one big theme

(09:16):
here that the Hillary Clinton campaign wastreated much differently than the Donald Trump campaign.
I want to pull out one importantquote here again, this is one
of many, he wrote. Quote, we conclude that the Department and the
FBI failed to uphold their important missionof strict fidelity to the law in connection
with certain events and activities described inthis report. End quote. Now,

(09:39):
first we have to go back tothe years twenty sixteen twenty seventeen. The
primary focus of this report now theoverarching theme, as I say, Durham
says, the FBI rushed an investigationcalled Crossfire Hurricane without the proper basis.
Crossfire Hurricane is the umbrella name forthe investigation into alleged connections between the Trump
campaign and Russia. Now, Durhamtook two cases to trial over the past

(10:01):
four years, he lost them both, the first Michael Sussman, a cyber
lawyer with ties to the Clinton campaign. The other Igor Danchenko, a Russian
intelligence operative who helped craft that infamousSteel dossier full of salacious allegations about then
candidate Donald Trump. Kevin Kleinsmith wasa former FBI attorney. He actually pleaded
guilty to altering a document used tosurveil a Trump campaign eight Now. The

(10:24):
FBI was then under the leadership ofJim Comey. It's changed many times since
then, several layers of leadership.The FBI putting out a statement today.
Had those reform has been in placesince twenty sixteen, the missteps identified in
the report could have been prevented.This report reinforces the importance of ensuring the
FBI continues to do its work withthe rigor, objectivity, and professionalism the

(10:48):
American people deserve and rightly expect.Now. President Biden's Attorney General Merrick Garland,
received Martha this Durham report on Friday, looked at it over the weekend,
gave it today to Congress, andtransmitted it to the public without making
any changes. Okay, and whymake any changes? Did? There's no
need to make any changes. There'llbe no charges coming. Right, you

(11:09):
already heard there were two court cases, he lost them both. I mean
four years. This is what weget after four years? Right, four
years to state what we knew fromday one. You know that you're dealing
with a false report that the FBIwas using trumped up charges in order to

(11:30):
go after candidate Donald Trump, andthat there was completely different treatment for the
Trump campaign versus the Clean campaign.We knew all of that on day one.
There's nothing there, there's nothing therethat we don't are you know,
we're hearing all these reports. That'ssuch a damning report for the FBI.
Damning. How will change his commentas a result of it? No,

(11:54):
No, The only changes that cometo the FBI would be to systematically remove
the p whose policies made all thispossible. Yeah, James, James Cumming's
not there anymore, but Christopher Rayis, and there's plenty of people in
the upper echelons of the FBI whocome from the same or cut from the

(12:16):
same cloth. They'll do the samethings again. All right, let's do
this. Let's get some reaction tothis report. Here is first from the
five on box Judge Jeanine Pirou.It's not just the legal piece of it
where they say that the FBI andthe DJ failed to upholl their mission went
to strict fidelity to the law.They split this country apart. They had

(12:37):
families not talking to each other,parties more and more divided, and here
we are seven years later, stilldivided. And yet everything that we said
is true, Everything that we choosethem of was true. To call me
had no right to come out andsay, no reasonable prosecutor would try Hillary
and this guy Kevin Kleinsmith where thedefendants b Smith actually altered the basis for

(13:03):
a warrant. He's so practicing lawwith the Durham lost two cases that Dan
Senko and Sussman. So to me, I have to tell you, I
am disgusted. It's all words,and I am more disgusted that the FBI
comes out and says, had thosereforms been in place, none of this
would ever have happened. That's bologney. And I'll tell you why it's bologny,

(13:26):
because we had people protesting his SupremeCourt Justice's home trying to get them
to change an abending decision and afederal statute. There was no arrest because
we had the DJ saying that parentsare domestic terrorists. We have an out
of control intelligence agency, fifty oneintelligence agents lying about Russian disinformation. We've

(13:48):
got DJ, FBI. They're notafraid of anything anymore, Martha, because
none of them are having their feetheld to the fire. And there's the
New York Times of the Washington Postcan return the pullet. No, there's
not a whole lot I can addto that. I mean, she's absolutely
right though, there's absolutely no fearof any government organization. They feel free

(14:11):
to do whatever they want politically,and they're not worried about what happens to
them because they know nothing will happento them. I'm talking about the FBI,
the CIA, the I r S, the Department of Justice, all
of them, all of them.They're not afraid of you, they're not
afraid of me, they're not afraidof Congress. They're going to keep doing
what they're doing, and nothing willreally come with this. I don't believe.

(14:33):
I'd like to say their will,but I doubt that there will.
And we'll all forget about it astime goes on until the next time it
happens again. All Right, nowlet's get the perspective of a federal former
federal prosecutor, Andy McCarthy. Here'sAndy McCarthy what he makes of the Durham
report in what it means. WhatDurham is concluding mainly the target of the
investigation. It appears on the baseof what we've been able to see so

(14:56):
far as the FBI in particular,which ran the US Fire Hurricane investigation,
that was the code name that theyhad for this. What he's saying is
that they lacked fidelity to the strictobligations of law enforcement. That they basically
took information that was politically motivated fromobviously politically motivated sources. It's clear he's

(15:18):
talking there about the Clinton campaign.That they didn't vet it, they didn't
corroborate it, They went to theFISA court and swore to it under oath,
and even after it emerged over timethat the information that they had presented
to the court was not accurate,they not only didn't go back to the
court and correct it, they doubleddown and continued to get new surveillance warrants.

(15:41):
I've always suspected, Martha, thatwhat would frustrate this investigation and What
would make it take so long isit seemed to me that American intelligence agencies
and also foreign intelligence agencies were pervasivelyinvolved in this, and it was always
going to be very difficult for Doorto get to the bottom of that because

(16:02):
even if there was smoking gun informationthere, and I don't know if there
was or there wasn't, I doknow that what they're saying is this three
hundred page report is unclassified. There'sapparently a twenty nine page classified anex's attached
to it, but mainly what we'regetting is an unclassified report that suggests to
me that no matter what was there, the intelligence relationships that exist between American

(16:27):
intelligence services in their foreign counterparts aretoo important to national security that they were
going to be risked in order tobe completely transparent about what happened and how
this investigation got started. You know, there's really only one way to fix
this, and that is to,in many ways start from scratch. We
we need to break up intelligence,We need to break up the CIA,

(16:51):
we need to break up the FBI, and we need to reorganize it.
We need to weed out the lifetimeemployees who are there at the top,
who are making these decisions. Weneed to pretty much start from scratch.
We need to neuter them up toa certain extent, through out of control.
And I think that's the opinion ofour last audio cut for you.
Here is Senator Josh Holly, whosays it is time to break up the

(17:14):
FBI. There needs to be alot more than reports, Jesse. People
need to be prosecuted for this.The Clinton campaign and Hillary Clinton herself,
is at any coincidence that she istweeting about collusion at exactly the same time
her campaign operatives are feeding this bsto the FBI, I don't think so.
There needs to be consequences for herand also for the FBI. FBI

(17:36):
leadership has clearly got to be changed. In Jesse, I'm of the mind
we need to end the FBI aswe know it. It needs to be
broken up. I mean clearly,it has become corrupt. The leadership is
corrupt. You can talk to FBIagents in the field. I was just
doing this just this past week.Great folks in my home state, all
over the place, but they're notserved by this leadership. This leadership has
become totally radically politicized, and we'vegot to change it. No, we've

(18:00):
got to get justice here, andjustice needs to be served. You can't
interfere in a presidential election without consequences. At least you couldn't. You used
to not be able to in America. And that's what happened here. That's
what this report shows that one politicalparty, the Democrats, tried to use
the FBI to rig a presidential electionand just about got away with it.
They succeeded in getting the FBI tointervene. They succeeded in getting the FBI

(18:23):
to lie to a court to getwire taps. They succeeded in getting a
presidential campaign, Donald Trump's campaign spiedon. I mean, it's amazing.
If there's something like this in Americanhistory, I don't know what it is.
And that's why I say there needsto be prosecutions, There needs to
be accountability, and the FBI hasgot to be overhauled now top to bottom.

(18:44):
It's got to be completely reformed.It cannot go on like it is.
Would you think of when you sawBarack Obama tell Fox we don't do
anything corrupt. I don't know aboutpending investigations. I don't even talk to
people about pending you know, thething, the thing that sticks out to
me is when he said they almostsucceeded, he was talking about twenty sixteen.

(19:07):
I think a case can easily bemade that they did succeed in twenty
twenty. Maybe they didn't quite succeedin twenty sixteen, but they did succeed
in twenty twenty. Another question,is kimble wrastled control over this runaway government
of ours and get things back tosquare one? Is that even possible at
this point? I don't see how. Without without a major purge and without

(19:32):
major prosecutions, I don't see how. And quite honestly, I'd be shocked
if either one of those two thingshappened. All right, quick little breakback
with more in a moment, JimmyBarrett show A nine fifty KPRC. All

(19:52):
right, what is the job ofa commencement speaker? If you were to
ask, if you were asked tobe the keynote speaker at a graduation ceremony,
what would be your message? Forsome reason, I thought about this
before, and I'm not sure why. I've never given a commencement address.
I've never been asked to give acommencement address. I honestly don't expect I

(20:14):
ever will be asked to give acommencement address. But despite my position in
the world of politics and talking aboutthe world of politics, I think the
last thing that I would do isto give a political message. The only
thing I could think of a messagethat I would pass along to I guess
it depends on whether you're talking highschool graduates or college graduates, because that's

(20:38):
two different groups, right, You'retalking about eighteen verses twenty one and twenty
two. Basically we'll call it eighteenand twenty two as far as the age
you are when you graduate from thosetwo things, and that's provided of course,
on the twenty two, that's providedyou with the four year plan and
not the six year plan or theseven year plan or the eight year plan
like some of us did. Highschool is a different story getting out of

(21:00):
high school. You know it usedto be. I don't know how high
school graduates are now used to bethat that was. You know, you're
you're so optimistic, you know youfeel adulthood coming on. At least at
least I can only look back atmy coming of age of eighteen and graduating
from high school and preparing to goto college in that I thought, Okay,

(21:22):
this is my chance here, thismy chance to be independent, This
is my chance to live on myown, This is my chance to make
my own decisions without asking for permissionfrom mom and dad, and I relished
the opportunity. I don't know ifyou have the same feeling with your typical
eighteen year old these days. Idon't know they graduating from high school gives

(21:44):
you that, you know, adulthoodfeeling anymore. Maybe college does, because
I think I think all young peopleare waiting a little bit longer to adult,
certainly a lot longer than I did. And you know what, to
a certain extent, there's nothing wrongwith that. I try to grow up
too fast. I freely admit tothat. But I'm trying to think of
how how would I focus a message? You know, what would I talk

(22:04):
about? I think I'd be inclinedto find some way to talk about being
an independent thinker. And I don'tknow if the message would get through or
not, but I would want tosend along the message that this is your
opportunity now to start thinking for yourself. This is your time to start making

(22:26):
your own decisions and your own mistakes, and to own your decisions and your
mistakes and to learn from them.Mom and Dan are gonna be there to
pick you up anymore. It's goingto be completely on you to do this
for yourself. Something along those lines. It wouldn't be a message about politics
or liberals or conservatives or any ofthat, because honestly, nobody's going to

(22:49):
listen to you in that kind ofa setting. If if that's the message
you want to give, but Iwould want the message to be one of
hope. I would want the messageto be regardless. I would want the
message to be want a positive lookinto the future. And we don't seem
to get a lot of those messagesanymore. Even the President of the United
States is incapable of going to acollege graduation and delivering a commencement address and

(23:17):
saying something positive. You know,we're talking yesterday about how Biden did the
Howard University graduation and his message wasthat their biggest threat was was white supremacist
terrorism. And here he is sayingwhat he said, exactly what he said
to the graduates of Howard University.With a little follow up from Jesse Waters

(23:41):
on Fox, we know that Americanhistory has not always been a fairy tale,
the harsh reality. The racism haslong torns apart. It's a battle,
it's never really over. Enough ofus have the guts in the hearts
to stand up from the best inness, to choose love overhyd you do OVERDISHU

(24:07):
did progress over retreat, stand upagainst the poison white supremacies. I did
my Noggle address to a single outas the most dangerous chair instructor. Our
homeland is white supremacy. This isa very good school. If you graduate
from Howard University, you are goingplaces. You are going to be working

(24:30):
for white people, and white peopleare going to be working for you.
So to have the President come thereand feed them this stuff like they're victims
of white supremacy is such a disappointment. And you know what, the biggest
domestic threat is two young black menin this country other young black men with
guns. And that's the truth.And if you just talk raw numbers,

(24:52):
you got health issues to worry about. Coronavirus killed a million people, You
had absent fathers, education issues.Maybe there's a mass shooter who's a white
supremacist a couple times a year,But in terms of the biggest threat to
these very very intelligent Black people thathave the world at their fingertips. This

(25:15):
is not something I would be drillinginto their heads. And this is something
that proves that white supremacy is notwhat people think it is. They rank
all of the ethnicities on income inthis country. Indian Americans make one hundred
thousand dollars a year on average.Filipino Americans, Japanese Americans, Chinese Americans
all make more money on average thanWhite Americans. Hispanic Americans make more money

(25:40):
on average than African Americans. It'sa fact. Those are facts, all
right. One more for you here, a little something the ponder, not
something fun to pounder, because I'mone of those people who believe that we
are in the process of the redistributionof American wealth. Those who have wealth
are going to be there. Wealthis going to be taken from them,

(26:02):
regardless of what it is, Holmes, businesses, whatever it is, and
it's going to be redistributed to otherindividuals. Stuart Barney on his Fox Business
show talking about the possibility and it'sprobably not far away of a major wealth
tax. This is a setup,a warning of the ugliness to come.
Quote, the greatest wealth transferring historyis here with familiar rich winners end quote.

(26:29):
That's the New York Times, thebible of the left, laying the
groundwork for the seizure of your money. They don't think it's fair that older
people are rich. Baby boomers sixtyto eighty years old, they've accumulated seventy
eight trillion dollars, mostly in realestate and stocks. Don't kid yourself.
You didn't make that money by hardwork, drive, brains, and good

(26:51):
judging. Oh no, as theTime says, you made it in part
because of quote years of housing discriminationand a lack of access to financial tools
and advice for people of color.End quote. Since the vast majority of
baby boomers are with money are white, their white children and white grandchildren will
inherit the money, thus continuing racialinequality. This is a setup for a

(27:14):
wealth tax. The socialist wing ofthe Democrat Party demands that you add up
the value of all your stocks,bonds, houses, businesses, even your
artwork. Then you have to forkover a portion of that wealth every year
to the government. It doesn't matterwhether your investments are up or down.
Just having money is the excruse excuseto take it off you. They do

(27:37):
not respect success think about this.You have saved, invested, you've done
the right thing, You've worked hard, and you plan to pass along what
you've made. You are a successfulAmerican, So stand up and demand the
respect you deserve. See here's thething. If there comes to pairs,
it probably will. What gets peopleout of bed every day, successful people

(28:03):
to go out and be successful,to make money, to be able to
provide for their family and inheritance perhapsfor their grandchildren and their great grandchildren.
What gets them out of bed todo that, what gets them working hard,
the knowledge that what you make isyours. I guess you pay taxes,
but the vast majority of what youmake is yours. When that changes,

(28:26):
and it sure looks like it's headedin that direction, when that changes,
how many people are going to wantto do what's necessary to build that
wealth when you can't keep it andyou have to share it with people who
haven't done anything to build their ownwealth. All right, y'all have a
great day. Say tomorrow morning,Burton early at five am, a share
all over our news radio seven fortyKTIRAH. We're back here at four am,

(28:48):
nine fifty KPRC
