Speaker 1 (00:02):
Well, what we need is more common sense.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Common breaking down the world's nonsense about.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
How American common sense. We'll see us through with the
common sense of Houston.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
I'm just pro common sense for Houston.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
From Houston.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
This is the Jimmy Barrett Show, brought to you by
viewind dot Com. Now here's Jimmy Barrett.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
Hello, this is Jimmy. Danger is not my middle name, Barrett.
I don't do anything dangerous. I am a chicken. No
I am I'm I don't do anything dangerous. The most
dangerous thing I do is to get in my truck
and drive to work in the morning. That at two
thirty in the morning, that's the most dangerous thing I do. Now,
(00:51):
I take it back, the most dangerous thing I do
is drive home about nine thirty in the morning. That, yeah,
that's more dangerous than it is at two fifteen, two
thirty in the morning. Although I will say that at
two fifteen or two thirty in the morning, I make
the assumption that the only other people out there driving
beside me are either drunk, or they are police officers,
(01:14):
or they're criminals. For the most part, there's a few
people like you know, nurses and others who probably work
the strange hours that I do. But I kind of
make an assumption that most of the people out there,
and I always see the signs too driving into work
in the morning. I mean, it seems like it's every
week there's a sign about a wrong way driver on
(01:35):
the freeway, you know, especially on the North Freeway. Wrong
way driver, how do you? How do you mess that up?
I guess you're you're stoned, or you're drunk or Whatever's
that's probably the most dangerous thing I do, other than
the drive home with all the traffic. That's it. I mean,
what I do for a living is not a dangerous
thing to do. We got on the topic today though,
about most dangerous, or even more than danger I guess,
(02:00):
in some cases the most difficult job to do. And
those are two very different things, right, dangerous versus difficult.
For example, it's difficult to be a farmer. I don't
know how dangerous it is. I guess you could always,
you know, impel yourself on some farm equipment or something.
But the most the most dangerous thing about that job,
or the most inconvenient thing about that job, is just
(02:21):
just the sheer volume of work and the fact that
if you don't do things right, you're not going to
be able to feed your family. So that's that's a
difficult job. Being a teacher didn't make the top ten,
but it's a difficult job. It's not an easy job
to do. As far as dangerous jobs go, I think
(02:42):
you got to put police in fire right at the top,
along with the military, right, those are very dangerous jobs.
Military would be the most dangerous if you are actually
participating in a war or a military exercise where actual,
real ammunition is being used. Being a police officer, how
dangerous that is? I guess it depends on where you work, right.
(03:03):
If you're if you're like you know, Barney Fife and
on the Andy Griffiths Show in Maybury, North Carolina, then
it's not maybe all that dangerous. If if otis the
drunk is the worst thing you're dealing with, it's not
so dangerous. But if you're here in the city of
Houston being a police officer, then it's a very dangerous job.
We've had many police officers shot and police officers killed,
(03:25):
so that's that's to me, that's the epitome of dangerous.
Being a firefighter here in Custon is a dangerous job,
although that seems like the kind of job that is,
you know, long periods of boredom followed by brief moments
of sheer, terror, panic, excitement, all all all those adrenaline,
all those things rolled up into one. You know, when
(03:47):
you're not when you're a firefighter and you're not on call,
and you know, you're at the grocery store and you're
or you're cooking meals or you're taking a nap, then
it's not a very dangerous or exciting job. But when
you are called upon to rescue people and to you know,
go into the middle of danger, going to a burning
building to try to extract victims and that type of thing,
(04:08):
that that's a very very dangerous thing to do. But
I asked the question this morning on our morning show
on KTRH, what you consider the most dangerous jobs to be.
I just gave you cops and firefighters. I would not
want to be the guy who is a window washer
or a guy who has to paint a radio or
(04:30):
television tower, which can be like a thousand feet tall
ca I matchine scaling a thousand foot tower to paint
the tower. You're up there painting, you know, you get
a twenty twenty five mile fur wind and the other
thing that's keeping you from, you know, falling to your
death is a harness.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
No, take a hard pass on that. But let's see
what our listeners thought this morning about the most dangerous jobs.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Good morning.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
This is Henry from the Supreme.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
The most dangerous job in the world is working the
flight deck of an aircraft carrier. Thanks, have a great day.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
Hi, this is Suyl.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
The most dangerous job out there is working on the
railroad union specific.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
Hi, this is Candy from Kima.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
I think window washer is a dangerous job, the people
that wash the windows in downtown.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Okay, I agree with the window washers thing. What about
the what about the railroad job? Why would a railroad
job be particularly dangerous? I guess it depends on what
your job is with the railroad. But I'm trying to
think of what would it be about the railroad that
would seem more dangerous. Do we have some more ideas?
Speaker 7 (05:41):
Harbor piloting is one of the most dangerous jobs.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yeah, this is Dicky and Dike. And when it comes
to dangerous dangerous jobs, who would want to do a
job that's dangerous? I worked on a courtable water dispenser NASA,
and it went at a space station and it also
recycled here. So who would want to test that? That's dangerous?
(06:09):
Have a good day, Texas.
Speaker 8 (06:16):
Believe the most dangerous out here weather driving for hours
into learning? Do you never know what you was?
Speaker 4 (06:35):
You know, speaking of truck driving, did you see they
had the first successful test run of a driverless truck
from Dallas to Houston. I don't know when it was
on the road. I don't know the exact route that
it took to get from Dallas to Houston. I assume
(06:56):
it took I forty five. But I'm just wanting because
nobody really said anything about it. I mean, I'm glad
it went off without a hitch. I still think that
that's gonna end up being a dangerous situation. But I mean,
what would you think You're you're driving down the North
Freeway right or the Golf Freeway, depending on what part
(07:19):
of the forty five you're on, and you and you
pull up and you're driving, and you look up, look
up the truck and there's nobody in the cab. The
steering wheels moving, but there's nobody in the cab. Would
that not freak you out, That that would completely freak
me out. The other thing I'm struck by a lot
of these dangerous jobs. Is there not necessarily the highest
(07:39):
paying jobs. You know, police officers are underpaid, firefighters are underpaid.
A lot of these window washers, I'm pretty sure window
washers are underpaid for what they do. Just because you
have a dangerous job doesn't mean you're appropriately compensated for
the job you do. So I'm with one guy. I mean,
why would you take a dangerous job if you're not
being paid, you know, to take on the danger All right,
(08:02):
quick little break, we are back with more in a moment.
Jimmy Part Show. Here a Nam nine fifty KPRC. All right, Jah,
(08:24):
President truck Gritty clearly likes the idea of Alcatraz.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
He really likes this idea. He is.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
He he likes the symbolism of opening up Alcatraz and
putting dangerous illegal aliens in there, like maybe turning that
into the next Gitmo. He likes the idea of putting
the worst of the worst criminals in America in Alcatraz.
You know, like you said, you know Alcatraz is I mean,
(08:53):
he's got a reputation. That's where you put the worst
of the worst. That's that's where you put the people
you want to make sure never escape into society. It
sends a message about law and order. Now, the practicality
of it will get to in a second, because it's
not a very practical.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Thing to do. Bing stretch of the imagination.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
But here's what President Trump had to say yesterday about Alcatraz,
reopening Alcatraz with the reaction of the five from Greg
gutfeldt our.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Country needs law and order.
Speaker 9 (09:22):
Alcatraz is I would say the ultimate right Alcatraz Sing
Sing and Alcatraz the movies.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
But it's right now a.
Speaker 9 (09:31):
Museum, believe it, and a lot of people go there.
It housed the most violent criminals in the world, and
nobody ever escaped to One person almost got there, but they,
as you know the story, they found his clothing rather
badly ripped up, and it was a lot of shark bites.
And we'll see if we can bring it back in
(09:53):
large form add a lot. It sort of represents something
that's both horrible and beautiful.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
I was there by choice.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
It was our uh, it was.
Speaker 10 (10:03):
Our grade school and high school field trip. I think
they wanted to scare us straight, but it was San
Francisco didn't work.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Ah well, I mean that came out true. But you
know what he's trying to do.
Speaker 10 (10:14):
I think what Trump's doing, He's trying to paint a
grim picture for illegals who think they're gonna wake this out.
You know, is your country really as bad as Alcatraz?
Maybe instead of seeking asylum here, you might think twice.
He's trying to undo the perception of the incentives that
were put in place that caused this unprecedentented invasion. So,
you know, sending them to Alcatraz is kind of a
(10:37):
compromise between Al Salvador and the Roosevelt Hotel.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
So he's saying, he's saying that Alcatraz is better than
El Salvador. You're better You're better off going to Alcatraz,
then you are going to El Salvador. That's interesting, That's
pretty funny. Here's the thing. I've been to Alcatraz too.
When was i there? Oh, must have been like the
nineteen eighties, a long long time ago. That's when I
(11:07):
went to San Francisco. And now everything was different than
San Francisco back in the eighties. I mean, you're talking
beautiful city. My god, what a beautiful city that was.
I would not want to go back for fear that
I would just be so disappointed with what I saw.
I mean, they didn't have the homeless issues back then.
They didn't have you know, people using drugs on the
leaving dirty needles in the streets, you know, any the
(11:31):
rampant crime, any of those types of problems. They didn't
have any of that stuff going on back then. If
just a beautiful city. And one of the things that
we did is we went we did a tour of
Alcatraz and they put you on a ferry boat.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
They take you out.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
There and they drop you off, and you have an
organized tourist a boy the National Parks and it's interesting.
They take you into the you know, cell blocks and
they tell you about, you know, some of the people
who were incarcerated there, and and you know, show you
what life was like you know in a in a
prison and sell at Alcatraz and all that kind of stuff.
(12:03):
And it's it's interesting. It's it's a piece of history.
It hasn't been used as a prisons of like nineteen
sixty three, So I mean, think about that. That's you're
talking like sixty years ago. It's been sixty two years
since it was used as an actual person. And during
that time, I have no idea what they have done
to try to, you know, beef up the infrastructure, to
(12:24):
take care of it, to keep the weather out. I'm
sure they've done some things. It's run by the National Parks.
It makes like sixty million dollars a year in tourism money.
I mean, you'd have to think twice about taking a
sixty million dollar National Parks. I mean, how many other
things in the National Park Association, in the National Park
(12:47):
system make that kind of money. I'm thinking that you
know nothing, right, Maybe the Statue of Liberty is a
statue of liberty? Is that run by the National Parks?
You know, few a handful of landmarks with attract that
kind of attention like Alcatraz does, And it doesn't matter
what kind of condition it's in. And matter of fact,
the more run down it is, the more interesting it
(13:09):
probably is. But to actually use that again as a prison,
you'd have to invest probably hundreds of millions of dollars
minimally into something like that. But it is kind of
fun to kind of imagine if you were crazy enough
to do something like that, you know what the end
result might be. On Greg Guttfel's Late night show, he
(13:32):
had a panel. They were talking about it in on
the panel, Entity and Tyrus. Here's what they had to
say their ideas regarding Alcatraz.
Speaker 7 (13:43):
I have to say, like, I like opening, reopening Alcatraz
a lot better than invading Greenland or sending people to
Al Salvador or reopening Gitmo Bay. Like, at least it's here,
And I think you should make it fun because it
is that the currents are very precarious, the water is
very cold, it is sharky, and if you like, they
(14:05):
should have a diving platform and it's like, if you
can survive and swim to freedom.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Then then you may leave.
Speaker 7 (14:13):
Yeah, and I think that would make our prison system
a little bit more interesting.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Yeah, it is kind of a tiers.
Speaker 10 (14:20):
It is kind of like a nice disincentive if you're
in another country to see this and go, maybe I
won't go, or you might self support just because you
heard about this.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
As long as they chum the waters up real good,
that's all I have. No, this is a tremendous idea,
and we've had four years where criminals have had their way,
they have nothing to be afraid of. Even if they
get arrested, they don't have to worry about bail. So there's
really been no fear for the criminal element in this country.
They feel like they've been running things. So now you
(14:50):
have a place. And I also think this could help
him with the issue that people are so worried about
people getting their day in court and where to So
I think what we could do is is when we
round these illegals up and we give them as I
talked about giving them the court date.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Yes, we will bring them back over.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
Where they will be house at Alcatraz.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
While we wait for that court date.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
As soon as the renovations are finished, say twenty twenty,
twenty thirty eight. Yes, know, so we just added like
you will go for We're going to go to Al
Salvador for now, right, and then once Alcatraz is cleaned up,
we'll bring you over where you'll sit in there for
you know, what is it a typical average person when
they're given their court date, when they get across the
(15:33):
border here.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
It's like ten to twelve years.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
So within the next fifteen to twenty years you will
have your court date. By that time, we'll get all
the bells and whistles figured out, and everything will be
great in the meantime, and enjoy yourself.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
I like Kennedy's idea. Though.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
You want to get out of Alcatraz, no problem. Here's
the diving board, there's San Francisco Bay. You hop on in.
If you get to the other side, you're free. And
if you don't, I guess we don't have to worry
about you anymore. Too funny. Now, I think that maybe
the offer the Trump administration is giving. Now you've heard
about this offer, right, one thousand dollars in a plane
(16:11):
ticket to your country of origin. We will put you
on the plane, we'll pay for the plane ticket, we'll
give you a thousand dollars to get settled, and you
go home.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Now.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
I don't know if that's enough incentive for some of
these people, which is probably why the presence bringing up
Alcatraz is because I'm sure you'd rather have a thousand
dollars in a plane ticket than to go to Alcatraz.
But here is a DHS Secretary Christy Nome on what
the offer is all about and why it makes sense
from both sides.
Speaker 6 (16:42):
These illegal aliens that are in our country have the
opportunity to go on the CBP Home app and we
will facilitate them finding their way back to their countries.
We will pay for their plane ticket. When they get there,
we will verify they are who they said they are
and that they are in fact back home, and they
will be paid one thousand dollars as an incentive to
(17:03):
go there and to be able to help facilitate their
housing or their clothing or their food for the period
of time that they're back in their country until they
can get themselves settled. And listen, Sean, that's really what
this whole situation is about. We spend about seventeen thousand
dollars arresting, detaining, and deporting an illegal alien right now today.
If we have the opportunity to purchase a plane ticket
(17:24):
and send someone home with a sipend like this, it
saves us thousands and thousands of dollars, and it also
is a much safer situation for officers and for those
in communities, and it gives that illegal an opportunity to
come back to the United States of America. Remember, if
they wait until we arrest them and deport them, they
don't ever get the chance to come back to the
United States. They don't ever get a chance at the
(17:45):
American dreams. So those individuals that are here illegally need
to realize this is their opportunity to do things the
right way.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
See that's the real caret stick approach there. Right, If
you take the sipen and the plane ticket, do you
get to go home with something to show for it,
But you also have an opportunity to come back if
that's what you want to do, only do it the
right way. You know where you're not ruled out from
coming back. If if you decide you want to try
(18:13):
to wait this thing out, well all you gotta do
is hide for three years and wait for a different president.
If you if you decide that you're going to wait
this thing out and they catch you and they deport you,
then you're now never eligible to come back to the
United States. So with one you have an opportunity for
the future. With the other one you do not. All right,
quick lit break back with Vorner moment Jimmy Barrett show
(18:35):
here on AM nine fifty KPRC.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
All right, so I've heard a lot lately.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
And you have two about due process There's been a
lot to talk about due process and whether or not
an illegal alien is entitled to due process or not
entitled to due process. The president gave an interview with
Meet the Press Kristen Welker, who is a well known
Trump basher Trump hater. She moderated one of the presidential debates.
(19:21):
She was one of the moderators on the debate. I mean,
she's clearly very anti Trump. She seemed to manage to
hold her tongue to a certain extent, but you know,
I think she was trying to just trying to get
the kind of answer she was looking for so they
could go into the editing room and make Trump sound
the way they wanted him to sound. And one of
(19:41):
those areas when we was in talking to the constitution,
because the President said he had a couple of I
don't knows that he then elaborated on that showed that
he really did know on both the deportation questions and
also on due process and and uh and uh. On
(20:03):
the possibility of a third term, I think he's made
it pretty clear he's not going to run for a
third term. He understands that the constitution prohibits a third term.
He also understands that if he has any questions about
what the Constitution means, he's got some pretty good lawyers
that are working for him that can answer those questions.
And he also knows that when it comes to something
(20:24):
like due process and what the Constitution says, it's a
matter of interpretation, and what really matters is what the
Supreme Court says about what something means. So here is
President Trump from the Meet to Press Welker interview, UH
talking about due process. A little follow up here on
due process from Judge Janine Pirot.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Your Secretary of State, says, everyone who's here, citizens and
non citizens, deserve due process.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Do you agree, mister? I don't know.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
I'm not I'm not a lawyer.
Speaker 9 (20:52):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (20:53):
Well, the Fifth Amendment, I don't know it change.
Speaker 9 (20:55):
It seems it might say that. But if you're talking
about that, then we'd have to have a million or
two million or three million trials.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
Don't you need to uphold the Constitution of the United
States' present?
Speaker 1 (21:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 9 (21:07):
I have to respond by saying, again, I have brilliant
lawyers that work for me, and they are going to
obviously follow what the Supreme Court said, what you said
is not what I heard. The Supreme Court said, they
have a different interpretation.
Speaker 11 (21:22):
She says, it's the Fifth Amendment requires it, So of
course I pull out. I carry this on my purse
all the time. I don't know why. I think some
day I'm arrested or something, I'll take it out that
the Amendment is about a grand jury, it's about double jeopardy.
It's about a person not being compelled to be a
witness against himself. And you cannot be deprived of life, liberty,
or property without due process. It says nothing about illegal
(21:44):
So cut the crap, Chris and Welker. You're a good person,
but you're wrong on this. That's number one. Now the
question is to whether or not it is third term.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
We all know.
Speaker 11 (21:54):
He made it very clear. He said, to the rest
of my knowledge, you're not allowed to do it. This story,
but they can't. They're all about imagination, fascination. Maybe you will,
maybe you won't. But then on this whole thing of
a Brego Garcia, I went back and I've read the
Supreme Court decision again. They are interpreting it. When she said,
(22:14):
isn't it entitled to due process? A breako Garcia was entitled,
according to the Supreme Court, to be facilitated in his
return only because there was a withholding order and he
shouldn't have been deported because of the withholding order. Okay,
because he's MS thirteen and they'll kill him with the
other gang. So let's be clear about this. Supreme Court
(22:37):
never said in a Brego Garcia case that due process
is required for illegals.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
I think that's a great explanation, all right, before we
wrap it up today. Ah, I got a kick out
of this story about THOUGHTFO parenting, FOFTFO parenting, FAFO, thoftfo
parenting is trending. What is foffo parenting? What does that mean?
Foffo is short for f around and find out f
(23:09):
around and find out? This is the way that I
was raised. Maybe this is the way that you were raised.
This is not the way helicopter parents raise their kids.
I don't but this looks like it's making a comeback,
and maybe just in the nick of time. By the way,
this is also the way my children were raised. I
(23:29):
don't know that they I don't think that they use
the same techniques on their kids for sure, But the
f around and find out. Parenting is to find is
letting your kids experience the natural consequences of their actions
without getting too involved. Oh man, that's hard to do,
isn't it ask a helicopter parent to do that? Their
(23:53):
heads will explode. A techbok mom got to start. In
twenty twenty two, Kelsey, you know who is the former
football player with the uh you know the uh the
other Kelsey's brother. Yeah, his wife Kylie has a podcast
where they talked about it. Here's here's what happens when
(24:14):
you are a foffo parent. And I'll give it an example.
By the way, you don't do this with anything that's dangerous.
This is not about putting your your child in danger.
You know your child doesn't know how to swim, and
they want to go swimming in the lake. You don't
let them go swimming right without wearing a life jacket
and adult supervision. They don't want to wear the life jacket. Well,
(24:37):
guess what, you don't wear the life jacket. You're not
gonna go swimming because that's a life or death situation.
But other things, and this I'll use this as an example.
You could probably think of examples of your own You
know it's going to be pouring down rain today. Your
kid's getting ready to go off to school. They got
a raincoat, they don't want to wear the raincoat. You
(24:59):
can either sit there and try to convince them to
wear the raincoat, or argue with them you're not leaving
the house unless you're wearing that raincoat. You can you
can spend you can waste a lot of time spinning
your wheels doing that stuff and force them to wear
the raincoat. Or you can let them do what they want.
Go to school, don't wear the raincoat, get poured down on,
(25:22):
get soaking wet and miserable, and learn a lesson that
maybe I should have taken my raincoat. The thing I
love about it is kind of a return to critical
thinking right where you're requiring your child to think for themselves.
You're requiring them to figure out what is the right
thing to do, you know, and that there are consequences.
I don't wear the raincoat, I'm gon get soaking wet,
(25:42):
I'm going to be miserable. I'm glad to see this
is making a comeback. I think it's high time it did. Listen,
y'all have a great day. Thank you for listening. We'll
see you tomorrow morning, bright and early five am over
on news radio seven forty KTRH. I'll see you this
afternoon four or tomorrow afternoon at four, I should say,
on a M nine fifty k
Speaker 3 (26:01):
P r c
Well, what we need is more common sense.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Common breaking down the world's nonsense about.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
How American common sense. We'll see us through with the
common sense of Houston.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
I'm just pro common sense for Houston.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
From Houston.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
This is the Jimmy Barrett Show, brought to you by
viewind dot Com. Now here's Jimmy Barrett.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
Hello, this is Jimmy. Danger is not my middle name, Barrett.
I don't do anything dangerous. I am a chicken. No
I am I'm I don't do anything dangerous. The most
dangerous thing I do is to get in my truck
and drive to work in the morning. That at two
thirty in the morning, that's the most dangerous thing I do. Now,
(00:51):
I take it back, the most dangerous thing I do
is drive home about nine thirty in the morning. That, yeah,
that's more dangerous than it is at two fifteen, two
thirty in the morning. Although I will say that at
two fifteen or two thirty in the morning, I make
the assumption that the only other people out there driving
beside me are either drunk, or they are police officers,
(01:14):
or they're criminals. For the most part, there's a few
people like you know, nurses and others who probably work
the strange hours that I do. But I kind of
make an assumption that most of the people out there,
and I always see the signs too driving into work
in the morning. I mean, it seems like it's every
week there's a sign about a wrong way driver on
(01:35):
the freeway, you know, especially on the North Freeway. Wrong
way driver, how do you? How do you mess that up?
I guess you're you're stoned, or you're drunk or Whatever's
that's probably the most dangerous thing I do, other than
the drive home with all the traffic. That's it. I mean,
what I do for a living is not a dangerous
thing to do. We got on the topic today though,
about most dangerous, or even more than danger I guess,
(02:00):
in some cases the most difficult job to do. And
those are two very different things, right, dangerous versus difficult.
For example, it's difficult to be a farmer. I don't
know how dangerous it is. I guess you could always,
you know, impel yourself on some farm equipment or something.
But the most the most dangerous thing about that job,
or the most inconvenient thing about that job, is just
(02:21):
just the sheer volume of work and the fact that
if you don't do things right, you're not going to
be able to feed your family. So that's that's a
difficult job. Being a teacher didn't make the top ten,
but it's a difficult job. It's not an easy job
to do. As far as dangerous jobs go, I think
(02:42):
you got to put police in fire right at the top,
along with the military, right, those are very dangerous jobs.
Military would be the most dangerous if you are actually
participating in a war or a military exercise where actual,
real ammunition is being used. Being a police officer, how
dangerous that is? I guess it depends on where you work, right.
(03:03):
If you're if you're like you know, Barney Fife and
on the Andy Griffiths Show in Maybury, North Carolina, then
it's not maybe all that dangerous. If if otis the
drunk is the worst thing you're dealing with, it's not
so dangerous. But if you're here in the city of
Houston being a police officer, then it's a very dangerous job.
We've had many police officers shot and police officers killed,
(03:25):
so that's that's to me, that's the epitome of dangerous.
Being a firefighter here in Custon is a dangerous job,
although that seems like the kind of job that is,
you know, long periods of boredom followed by brief moments
of sheer, terror, panic, excitement, all all all those adrenaline,
all those things rolled up into one. You know, when
(03:47):
you're not when you're a firefighter and you're not on call,
and you know, you're at the grocery store and you're
or you're cooking meals or you're taking a nap, then
it's not a very dangerous or exciting job. But when
you are called upon to rescue people and to you know,
go into the middle of danger, going to a burning
building to try to extract victims and that type of thing,
(04:08):
that that's a very very dangerous thing to do. But
I asked the question this morning on our morning show
on KTRH, what you consider the most dangerous jobs to be.
I just gave you cops and firefighters. I would not
want to be the guy who is a window washer
or a guy who has to paint a radio or
(04:30):
television tower, which can be like a thousand feet tall
ca I matchine scaling a thousand foot tower to paint
the tower. You're up there painting, you know, you get
a twenty twenty five mile fur wind and the other
thing that's keeping you from, you know, falling to your
death is a harness.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
No, take a hard pass on that. But let's see
what our listeners thought this morning about the most dangerous jobs.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Good morning.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
This is Henry from the Supreme.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
The most dangerous job in the world is working the
flight deck of an aircraft carrier. Thanks, have a great day.
Speaker 6 (05:06):
Hi, this is Suyl.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
The most dangerous job out there is working on the
railroad union specific.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
Hi, this is Candy from Kima.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
I think window washer is a dangerous job, the people
that wash the windows in downtown.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
Okay, I agree with the window washers thing. What about
the what about the railroad job? Why would a railroad
job be particularly dangerous? I guess it depends on what
your job is with the railroad. But I'm trying to
think of what would it be about the railroad that
would seem more dangerous. Do we have some more ideas?
Speaker 7 (05:41):
Harbor piloting is one of the most dangerous jobs.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Yeah, this is Dicky and Dike. And when it comes
to dangerous dangerous jobs, who would want to do a
job that's dangerous? I worked on a courtable water dispenser NASA,
and it went at a space station and it also
recycled here. So who would want to test that? That's dangerous?
(06:09):
Have a good day, Texas.
Speaker 8 (06:16):
Believe the most dangerous out here weather driving for hours
into learning? Do you never know what you was?
Speaker 4 (06:35):
You know, speaking of truck driving, did you see they
had the first successful test run of a driverless truck
from Dallas to Houston. I don't know when it was
on the road. I don't know the exact route that
it took to get from Dallas to Houston. I assume
(06:56):
it took I forty five. But I'm just wanting because
nobody really said anything about it. I mean, I'm glad
it went off without a hitch. I still think that
that's gonna end up being a dangerous situation. But I mean,
what would you think You're you're driving down the North
Freeway right or the Golf Freeway, depending on what part
(07:19):
of the forty five you're on, and you and you
pull up and you're driving, and you look up, look
up the truck and there's nobody in the cab. The
steering wheels moving, but there's nobody in the cab. Would
that not freak you out, That that would completely freak
me out. The other thing I'm struck by a lot
of these dangerous jobs. Is there not necessarily the highest
(07:39):
paying jobs. You know, police officers are underpaid, firefighters are underpaid.
A lot of these window washers, I'm pretty sure window
washers are underpaid for what they do. Just because you
have a dangerous job doesn't mean you're appropriately compensated for
the job you do. So I'm with one guy. I mean,
why would you take a dangerous job if you're not
being paid, you know, to take on the danger All right,
(08:02):
quick little break, we are back with more in a moment.
Jimmy Part Show. Here a Nam nine fifty KPRC. All right, Jah,
(08:24):
President truck Gritty clearly likes the idea of Alcatraz.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
He really likes this idea. He is.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
He he likes the symbolism of opening up Alcatraz and
putting dangerous illegal aliens in there, like maybe turning that
into the next Gitmo. He likes the idea of putting
the worst of the worst criminals in America in Alcatraz.
You know, like you said, you know Alcatraz is I mean,
(08:53):
he's got a reputation. That's where you put the worst
of the worst. That's that's where you put the people
you want to make sure never escape into society. It
sends a message about law and order. Now, the practicality
of it will get to in a second, because it's
not a very practical.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
Thing to do. Bing stretch of the imagination.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
But here's what President Trump had to say yesterday about Alcatraz,
reopening Alcatraz with the reaction of the five from Greg
gutfeldt our.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
Country needs law and order.
Speaker 9 (09:22):
Alcatraz is I would say the ultimate right Alcatraz Sing
Sing and Alcatraz the movies.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
But it's right now a.
Speaker 9 (09:31):
Museum, believe it, and a lot of people go there.
It housed the most violent criminals in the world, and
nobody ever escaped to One person almost got there, but they,
as you know the story, they found his clothing rather
badly ripped up, and it was a lot of shark bites.
And we'll see if we can bring it back in
(09:53):
large form add a lot. It sort of represents something
that's both horrible and beautiful.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
I was there by choice.
Speaker 3 (10:01):
It was our uh, it was.
Speaker 10 (10:03):
Our grade school and high school field trip. I think
they wanted to scare us straight, but it was San
Francisco didn't work.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Ah well, I mean that came out true. But you
know what he's trying to do.
Speaker 10 (10:14):
I think what Trump's doing, He's trying to paint a
grim picture for illegals who think they're gonna wake this out.
You know, is your country really as bad as Alcatraz?
Maybe instead of seeking asylum here, you might think twice.
He's trying to undo the perception of the incentives that
were put in place that caused this unprecedentented invasion. So,
you know, sending them to Alcatraz is kind of a
(10:37):
compromise between Al Salvador and the Roosevelt Hotel.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
So he's saying, he's saying that Alcatraz is better than
El Salvador. You're better You're better off going to Alcatraz,
then you are going to El Salvador. That's interesting, That's
pretty funny. Here's the thing. I've been to Alcatraz too.
When was i there? Oh, must have been like the
nineteen eighties, a long long time ago. That's when I
(11:07):
went to San Francisco. And now everything was different than
San Francisco back in the eighties. I mean, you're talking
beautiful city. My god, what a beautiful city that was.
I would not want to go back for fear that
I would just be so disappointed with what I saw.
I mean, they didn't have the homeless issues back then.
They didn't have you know, people using drugs on the
leaving dirty needles in the streets, you know, any the
(11:31):
rampant crime, any of those types of problems. They didn't
have any of that stuff going on back then. If
just a beautiful city. And one of the things that
we did is we went we did a tour of
Alcatraz and they put you on a ferry boat.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
They take you out.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
There and they drop you off, and you have an
organized tourist a boy the National Parks and it's interesting.
They take you into the you know, cell blocks and
they tell you about, you know, some of the people
who were incarcerated there, and and you know, show you
what life was like you know in a in a
prison and sell at Alcatraz and all that kind of stuff.
(12:03):
And it's it's interesting. It's it's a piece of history.
It hasn't been used as a prisons of like nineteen
sixty three, So I mean, think about that. That's you're
talking like sixty years ago. It's been sixty two years
since it was used as an actual person. And during
that time, I have no idea what they have done
to try to, you know, beef up the infrastructure, to
(12:24):
take care of it, to keep the weather out. I'm
sure they've done some things. It's run by the National Parks.
It makes like sixty million dollars a year in tourism money.
I mean, you'd have to think twice about taking a
sixty million dollar National Parks. I mean, how many other
things in the National Park Association, in the National Park
(12:47):
system make that kind of money. I'm thinking that you
know nothing, right, Maybe the Statue of Liberty is a
statue of liberty? Is that run by the National Parks?
You know, few a handful of landmarks with attract that
kind of attention like Alcatraz does, And it doesn't matter
what kind of condition it's in. And matter of fact,
the more run down it is, the more interesting it
(13:09):
probably is. But to actually use that again as a prison,
you'd have to invest probably hundreds of millions of dollars
minimally into something like that. But it is kind of
fun to kind of imagine if you were crazy enough
to do something like that, you know what the end
result might be. On Greg Guttfel's Late night show, he
(13:32):
had a panel. They were talking about it in on
the panel, Entity and Tyrus. Here's what they had to
say their ideas regarding Alcatraz.
Speaker 7 (13:43):
I have to say, like, I like opening, reopening Alcatraz
a lot better than invading Greenland or sending people to
Al Salvador or reopening Gitmo Bay. Like, at least it's here,
And I think you should make it fun because it
is that the currents are very precarious, the water is
very cold, it is sharky, and if you like, they
(14:05):
should have a diving platform and it's like, if you
can survive and swim to freedom.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
Then then you may leave.
Speaker 7 (14:13):
Yeah, and I think that would make our prison system
a little bit more interesting.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Yeah, it is kind of a tiers.
Speaker 10 (14:20):
It is kind of like a nice disincentive if you're
in another country to see this and go, maybe I
won't go, or you might self support just because you
heard about this.
Speaker 3 (14:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (14:29):
As long as they chum the waters up real good,
that's all I have. No, this is a tremendous idea,
and we've had four years where criminals have had their way,
they have nothing to be afraid of. Even if they
get arrested, they don't have to worry about bail. So there's
really been no fear for the criminal element in this country.
They feel like they've been running things. So now you
(14:50):
have a place. And I also think this could help
him with the issue that people are so worried about
people getting their day in court and where to So
I think what we could do is is when we
round these illegals up and we give them as I
talked about giving them the court date.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Yes, we will bring them back over.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
Where they will be house at Alcatraz.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
While we wait for that court date.
Speaker 5 (15:12):
As soon as the renovations are finished, say twenty twenty,
twenty thirty eight. Yes, know, so we just added like
you will go for We're going to go to Al
Salvador for now, right, and then once Alcatraz is cleaned up,
we'll bring you over where you'll sit in there for
you know, what is it a typical average person when
they're given their court date, when they get across the
(15:33):
border here.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
It's like ten to twelve years.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
So within the next fifteen to twenty years you will
have your court date. By that time, we'll get all
the bells and whistles figured out, and everything will be
great in the meantime, and enjoy yourself.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
I like Kennedy's idea. Though.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
You want to get out of Alcatraz, no problem. Here's
the diving board, there's San Francisco Bay. You hop on in.
If you get to the other side, you're free. And
if you don't, I guess we don't have to worry
about you anymore. Too funny. Now, I think that maybe
the offer the Trump administration is giving. Now you've heard
about this offer, right, one thousand dollars in a plane
(16:11):
ticket to your country of origin. We will put you
on the plane, we'll pay for the plane ticket, we'll
give you a thousand dollars to get settled, and you
go home.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Now.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
I don't know if that's enough incentive for some of
these people, which is probably why the presence bringing up
Alcatraz is because I'm sure you'd rather have a thousand
dollars in a plane ticket than to go to Alcatraz.
But here is a DHS Secretary Christy Nome on what
the offer is all about and why it makes sense
from both sides.
Speaker 6 (16:42):
These illegal aliens that are in our country have the
opportunity to go on the CBP Home app and we
will facilitate them finding their way back to their countries.
We will pay for their plane ticket. When they get there,
we will verify they are who they said they are
and that they are in fact back home, and they
will be paid one thousand dollars as an incentive to
(17:03):
go there and to be able to help facilitate their
housing or their clothing or their food for the period
of time that they're back in their country until they
can get themselves settled. And listen, Sean, that's really what
this whole situation is about. We spend about seventeen thousand
dollars arresting, detaining, and deporting an illegal alien right now today.
If we have the opportunity to purchase a plane ticket
(17:24):
and send someone home with a sipend like this, it
saves us thousands and thousands of dollars, and it also
is a much safer situation for officers and for those
in communities, and it gives that illegal an opportunity to
come back to the United States of America. Remember, if
they wait until we arrest them and deport them, they
don't ever get the chance to come back to the
United States. They don't ever get a chance at the
(17:45):
American dreams. So those individuals that are here illegally need
to realize this is their opportunity to do things the
right way.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
See that's the real caret stick approach there. Right, If
you take the sipen and the plane ticket, do you
get to go home with something to show for it,
But you also have an opportunity to come back if
that's what you want to do, only do it the
right way. You know where you're not ruled out from
coming back. If if you decide you want to try
(18:13):
to wait this thing out, well all you gotta do
is hide for three years and wait for a different president.
If you if you decide that you're going to wait
this thing out and they catch you and they deport you,
then you're now never eligible to come back to the
United States. So with one you have an opportunity for
the future. With the other one you do not. All right,
quick lit break back with Vorner moment Jimmy Barrett show
(18:35):
here on AM nine fifty KPRC.
Speaker 3 (18:57):
All right, so I've heard a lot lately.
Speaker 4 (18:59):
And you have two about due process There's been a
lot to talk about due process and whether or not
an illegal alien is entitled to due process or not
entitled to due process. The president gave an interview with
Meet the Press Kristen Welker, who is a well known
Trump basher Trump hater. She moderated one of the presidential debates.
(19:21):
She was one of the moderators on the debate. I mean,
she's clearly very anti Trump. She seemed to manage to
hold her tongue to a certain extent, but you know,
I think she was trying to just trying to get
the kind of answer she was looking for so they
could go into the editing room and make Trump sound
the way they wanted him to sound. And one of
(19:41):
those areas when we was in talking to the constitution,
because the President said he had a couple of I
don't knows that he then elaborated on that showed that
he really did know on both the deportation questions and
also on due process and and uh and uh. On
(20:03):
the possibility of a third term, I think he's made
it pretty clear he's not going to run for a
third term. He understands that the constitution prohibits a third term.
He also understands that if he has any questions about
what the Constitution means, he's got some pretty good lawyers
that are working for him that can answer those questions.
And he also knows that when it comes to something
(20:24):
like due process and what the Constitution says, it's a
matter of interpretation, and what really matters is what the
Supreme Court says about what something means. So here is
President Trump from the Meet to Press Welker interview, UH
talking about due process. A little follow up here on
due process from Judge Janine Pirot.
Speaker 2 (20:43):
Your Secretary of State, says, everyone who's here, citizens and
non citizens, deserve due process.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Do you agree, mister? I don't know.
Speaker 5 (20:50):
I'm not I'm not a lawyer.
Speaker 9 (20:52):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (20:53):
Well, the Fifth Amendment, I don't know it change.
Speaker 9 (20:55):
It seems it might say that. But if you're talking
about that, then we'd have to have a million or
two million or three million trials.
Speaker 6 (21:03):
Don't you need to uphold the Constitution of the United
States' present?
Speaker 1 (21:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 9 (21:07):
I have to respond by saying, again, I have brilliant
lawyers that work for me, and they are going to
obviously follow what the Supreme Court said, what you said
is not what I heard. The Supreme Court said, they
have a different interpretation.
Speaker 11 (21:22):
She says, it's the Fifth Amendment requires it, So of
course I pull out. I carry this on my purse
all the time. I don't know why. I think some
day I'm arrested or something, I'll take it out that
the Amendment is about a grand jury, it's about double jeopardy.
It's about a person not being compelled to be a
witness against himself. And you cannot be deprived of life, liberty,
or property without due process. It says nothing about illegal
(21:44):
So cut the crap, Chris and Welker. You're a good person,
but you're wrong on this. That's number one. Now the
question is to whether or not it is third term.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
We all know.
Speaker 11 (21:54):
He made it very clear. He said, to the rest
of my knowledge, you're not allowed to do it. This story,
but they can't. They're all about imagination, fascination. Maybe you will,
maybe you won't. But then on this whole thing of
a Brego Garcia, I went back and I've read the
Supreme Court decision again. They are interpreting it. When she said,
(22:14):
isn't it entitled to due process? A breako Garcia was entitled,
according to the Supreme Court, to be facilitated in his
return only because there was a withholding order and he
shouldn't have been deported because of the withholding order. Okay,
because he's MS thirteen and they'll kill him with the
other gang. So let's be clear about this. Supreme Court
(22:37):
never said in a Brego Garcia case that due process
is required for illegals.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
I think that's a great explanation, all right, before we
wrap it up today. Ah, I got a kick out
of this story about THOUGHTFO parenting, FOFTFO parenting, FAFO, thoftfo
parenting is trending. What is foffo parenting? What does that mean?
Foffo is short for f around and find out f
(23:09):
around and find out? This is the way that I
was raised. Maybe this is the way that you were raised.
This is not the way helicopter parents raise their kids.
I don't but this looks like it's making a comeback,
and maybe just in the nick of time. By the way,
this is also the way my children were raised. I
(23:29):
don't know that they I don't think that they use
the same techniques on their kids for sure, But the
f around and find out. Parenting is to find is
letting your kids experience the natural consequences of their actions
without getting too involved. Oh man, that's hard to do,
isn't it ask a helicopter parent to do that? Their
(23:53):
heads will explode. A techbok mom got to start. In
twenty twenty two, Kelsey, you know who is the former
football player with the uh you know the uh the
other Kelsey's brother. Yeah, his wife Kylie has a podcast
where they talked about it. Here's here's what happens when
(24:14):
you are a foffo parent. And I'll give it an example.
By the way, you don't do this with anything that's dangerous.
This is not about putting your your child in danger.
You know your child doesn't know how to swim, and
they want to go swimming in the lake. You don't
let them go swimming right without wearing a life jacket
and adult supervision. They don't want to wear the life jacket. Well,
(24:37):
guess what, you don't wear the life jacket. You're not
gonna go swimming because that's a life or death situation.
But other things, and this I'll use this as an example.
You could probably think of examples of your own You
know it's going to be pouring down rain today. Your
kid's getting ready to go off to school. They got
a raincoat, they don't want to wear the raincoat. You
(24:59):
can either sit there and try to convince them to
wear the raincoat, or argue with them you're not leaving
the house unless you're wearing that raincoat. You can you
can spend you can waste a lot of time spinning
your wheels doing that stuff and force them to wear
the raincoat. Or you can let them do what they want.
Go to school, don't wear the raincoat, get poured down on,
(25:22):
get soaking wet and miserable, and learn a lesson that
maybe I should have taken my raincoat. The thing I
love about it is kind of a return to critical
thinking right where you're requiring your child to think for themselves.
You're requiring them to figure out what is the right
thing to do, you know, and that there are consequences.
I don't wear the raincoat, I'm gon get soaking wet,
(25:42):
I'm going to be miserable. I'm glad to see this
is making a comeback. I think it's high time it did. Listen,
y'all have a great day. Thank you for listening. We'll
see you tomorrow morning, bright and early five am over
on news radio seven forty KTRH. I'll see you this
afternoon four or tomorrow afternoon at four, I should say,
