This is the Jimmy Barrett Show, brought to you by
viewind dot com. Now here's Jimmy Barrett.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Happy Monday. Welcome to the show.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
We start today with a food segment, cause you know me,
I like talking about food. And first of all, tell
you we did a question today this morning. We'll share
some of the the call is with you here in
a second from our talkback. But it's always interesting to
me rules we have food. I have a lot of rules.
(00:54):
I met this about myself. I perhaps am bound by
way too many rules and my rules, but my rules
they have a they have a basis in logic. Of course,
I think they have a basis in logic. I guess
we'll see what you think. But here's what started the
conversation this morning about ketchup and eggs. Do you put
ketchup on your eggs? I do not put ketchup on
(01:17):
my eggs. I used to put ketchup on steak because
I didn't like steak, so the ketchup was there to
describe the taste of the steak, which my father would
routinely burn on the grill because he wanted all the
meat well done. And if I'd ever had if I'd
had a medium rare steak when I was a kid,
(01:39):
I'm sure I would have loved steak, because I love
it now. But no, I didn't like it, you know,
because its overcooked. As it turns out, I didn't realize
why I didn't like it. I just didn't like it,
so I drowned it in ketchup in order to make
it edible. And I don't know, But do you ever
watch the History Channel? I love the History Channel. They
have a show effective was on last night this particular,
(02:00):
the segment wasn't on, but the show was on last
nights on Sunday nights on History Channel, The Food That
Built America. And they did one segment here this is
going back a couple of years ago on Ketchup and
Ketchup Wars. And did you know that one of the
reasons why ketchup was invented and became popular was to
(02:20):
disguise the taste of meat. This goes back before refrigeration.
Right when whatever meat you got you got at the market,
and a lot of times you got meat that was
already starting to spoil, so it didn't taste good. So
the ketchup was a way to make the meat more
(02:40):
palatable so you could eat it. So it really does
play into my idea here, right, that the only reason
for things like ketchup is to disguise the taste of something. Now,
ketchup does go pretty well with potatoes. French fries and
ketchup have always gone pretty well together, although I don't
do that. Mart I got accused of being a child.
Well you're here in one of these talkbacks. I accused
(03:02):
of being a child because I put ranch dressing on
my French fries. I love rant stressing. Rant stressing is
now my favorite condiment. I'll put ranch stressing on a
lot of things. I would put it on a burger,
i'd put it on fries. I guess I kind of
used rant stressing the way I used to use ketchup.
I wouldn't put it on a hot dog, but then again,
(03:23):
I wouldn't branch that it is, But I wouldn't put
ketchup on a hot dog either. My rule is mustard.
I'll put mustard mustard onions and chili if available, will
go on my hot dog. No ketchup. It's a matter
of personal taste. But what got me started on the
whole Ketchup and eight things was not only just disguising,
(03:43):
you know, the accusation that all we're doing here is
trying to disguise what it is that we're eating, but
also the idea that hinds, you know, the Ketchup people
evidently are putting Ketchup bottles in awful houses around the country.
They say breakfast Ketchup is if somehow they have a
(04:07):
special Ketchup just for breakfast, and of course they don't.
It's the same Ketchup, it's just marked differently. They're trying
to get people to eat more Ketchup with eggs so
they can sell more Ketchup, clearly. So I started asking
this morning, are do you eat Ketchup on your eggs?
And if you don't eat ketchup on your eggs, what
condiment do you like with your eggs? And here are
a few of the responses we got.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
This is Carl from Spring I I love some mustard
with breakfast sausage.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
It's fantastic.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Start today off right.
Speaker 6 (04:36):
Good morning, Jimmy.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
You all right.
Speaker 6 (04:39):
I do not lack eggs, so I will put capp oftillo, ketchup, salt, pepper,
whatever is available to cover up the texture and flavor
of eggs.
Speaker 7 (04:50):
Jamie, I like to put breakfast salsa on my eggs
and on my omelets. That's the same thing as regular sauce.
I'm just trying to normalize it on omelets. Also, I
like to do hot sauce all kinds of other stuff
on my eggs, and condiments on my bacon as well,
occasionally dipping it in syrup, not drowning it. Just a little.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Yeah, syrup and bacon, they are very good together. Just
I would agree, though, just a little bit. But I
thought that the second guy who who admits that, yes,
I'm putting all kinds of stuff on these eggs because
I don't like eggs, My question, of course, would be,
why are you eating eggs? Other than the fact that
they're high in protein and relatively low en calorie. Why
(05:37):
are you eating eggs if you don't like eggs. Of course,
we eat eggs and a lot of things that we
don't even realize. The eggs are in there because they
you know, they get broken up and they're they're they're
just basically holding things together, like in cakes and pies
and all that kind of stuff. I mean, we use
eggs in a whole lot of things, So I don't
think that's necessarily that people don't like the taste of
(05:57):
eggs as much as it is. Maybe it's the consistency
of eggs that bothers some people, you know, I know,
for example, you know, my wife likes her eggs really
really running. She likes everything undercooked, especially her eggs. I'm
me not so much. No, I don't want my eggs
(06:20):
well done, but I but I you know, I do
want a little bit of running this if it's a
fried egg, I'd certainly want to be running if there's
a poached egg, because that's half the beauty of a
poached egg. But the scrabbled egg. I can see why
some people might have a texture or a consistency issue
when it comes to eggs.
Speaker 8 (06:37):
Jimmy Handy from Spring Love the show Ranch dressing on
French fries.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Are you five years old? Have a great day?
Speaker 6 (06:45):
Hey, this is Jerry, are out to cut shoot and
h I like ketchup. But I don't like that purple
green stuff to try to put out one time.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
But yeah, rad Ketchup's good, purple and green.
Speaker 9 (06:58):
No, Jimmy Megan from Keema. Hey, the best thing on
eggs sausage gravy. Oh yeah, can't beat that. Throw maybe
a biscuit in there with it. But give me a
nice heap. Being a bunch of eggs with hot sausage
gravy sounds great to me.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
You know, it sounds great to me too. I do
love some sausage gravy. And one of my favorite breakfast,
one of my favorite breakfast joints, they have something they
call a Southern fried arnold. You ready for this. It's
it's a biscuit, or at least there's half of a biscuit.
It's it's a biscuit. And then you've got on top
of that, you've got a deep fried chicken breast, I
(07:42):
mean nice, nice, and you know, Southern fried chicken breast.
And then on top of that, you've got a poached egg.
And then on top of all that it's smothered and
sausage gravy, and that all that is so good, so good.
All right, Now that I've made myself and maybe you
a little bit hungry is take a little break. We'll
be back with Born a moment. Jimmy Birch here on
AM nine fifty KRC. All right, there was a note
(08:24):
King's protest over the weekend here in Houston. I am
not quite sure how many people showed up. I've seen
a variety of different camera angles. I know it wasn't
just in the city. I know there were some suburban
spots that had some protesting going on too. But here's
the way I look at it. This is a city.
(08:46):
We include all the suburban area, the entire metro area
of Houston. We're talking about well over six million people.
So even if you had fifteen thousand people show up
in downtown Houston, and I don't think the number was
that high though, though I PBS reported it that high.
Of course, the Krawan wanted to sound like it was
a huge throng of people. Those are both progressive, you know, publications,
(09:09):
so I would expect them to, you know, to want
to make it sound like there's a huge crowd there.
I would say it's closer. I would think it's closer
to a couple of thousand versus fifteen thousand. But but
whatever they showed up here. Here's the main thing you
need to know is people showed up. No nothing got
set on fire, nothing got a brick thrown at it.
(09:33):
Nobody was there hassling the police. They had their signs.
One of that saw what was the one I saw? Oh, maga,
make America gay again? Somebody somebody from you know, obviously
from the Pride Network or whatever, you know, because June
is Pride month. I haven't been mentioning a much because,
(09:55):
first of all, do we need an entire month, you know,
to be proud of being gay? I mean, can't we
do that in a week or a couple of days?
Do have to do? Do you have to devote an
entire month of that? And and that really wasn't what
the protesting supposed it was all about anyway, right, make
America gay again? Anyway? You know, there are signs a
(10:17):
little bit channing going on, but it was it was
relatively quiet. Everybody was behaving themselves. It was the kind
of protests that I would expect out of Texans. No
violence going on, nothing getting burned down, cop cars not
getting none of them, but you know, getting harassed in
any way, shape or former, let alone set on fire.
So it went very well. Here's a couple of reports
(10:39):
from our television partner KPU hear C too. Let's start
with this one. This is a report from Robert Arnold
h This is towards the beginning of the protest and
here he is talking about how many people are there
and talking to some of the people who are there.
Speaker 8 (10:53):
Right now, we're at the corner of Smith and McKinney
and the entire park, the entire area in front of
Houston City Hall is filled with people. More protesters continue
to show up there now in a park that is
across the street from city Hall. That's a part that's
in between the Federal Courthouse and City Hall, and the
crowd just continues to grow.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
There's definitely hundreds here.
Speaker 8 (11:12):
I don't want to give any more of an esthmate
of that, but obviously there are hundreds of people here.
As I say, more people keep showing up, keep showing up.
The crowd has worked very hard. Part of me, the
organizers have worked very hard to have palace of water
out because it is hot out here. There's medic stations
set up and for about the past I'd say thirty
five minutes. Everybody in the crowd has been listening to
several speakers, city council members, congressional members, state representatives, as
(11:37):
well as political groups as speaking here to this crowd.
I do want to take you over here. Some of
the people who have come out, we've spoken out. I'm sorry,
I'm Robert still, nice to meet you. Dylan, explain to
us why was it important for you to come out
here to that.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
I think it's important today that we show solidarity with
the rest of the country as we stand against fascism.
America is headed towards an authoritarian government and that's un American,
it's UNWUS and this is not what we stand for
in this country.
Speaker 8 (12:02):
Are you with any particular group? Are you just coming
out here on your own as the citizen, just.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
Coming out here today on our own to show solidarity
with the people across the country who are protesting this
nonsense in the White House?
Speaker 8 (12:12):
Okay, And it's been it's been smooth. Everything's going on.
And was there a little bit of nervousness because what
we saw in la or anything like that. It seems
like the speakers were continually saying.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Let's keep this peaceful. Let's let's keep this you know upbeat.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
Houston tends to be a fairly moderate city. Let's be honest,
and you know we we protest peacefully. The police here
tend to handle this well. You don't see anybody throwing
to your gas and rocks today. This is in LA
this isn't Seattle. But we're coming out here to let
our voices be heard as loud as possible today.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Okay. A couple things about that, are they're a suspect
of me? Maybe it's just me. Let's see what you think.
First of all, how many times do he say the
word solidarity? So, solidarity with the rest of the country,
Solidarity with the people of Houston. Uh, solidarity, now, solidarity forever.
(13:04):
That usually when you see somebody who's mentioning solidarity, that's
kind of a big part of what their speech is.
You show me somebody doing that. If this is from
my past experience in Detroit, I think you're talking to
some sort of a union member. Union members love the
word solidarity. That's their favorite word to use is solidarity.
(13:28):
So I'm going to guess that this person they talked
to was the member of a union. Okay, well, what,
we don't have a lot of unions in Houston, but
we do have the American Federation of Teachers union, which
was a big organizer of this event. So do you
(13:50):
think that maybe this person they talked to was a teacher?
Probably so kind of looked like a teacher. Don't know
for sure, Bob, I guess and say, yep, maybe a teacher.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Also.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Did you notice they said Houston seems to be a
fairly moderate city. Is it just me or does that
sound like somebody who's not from here, who doesn't live here.
What it's kind of like talking about Houston in the
third person instead of saying, you know, we're pretty moderate
here in Houston, we don't do you know whatever, But
(14:27):
you don't start by saying Houston is a moderate city.
I don't think you do anyway that that that didn't
seem ring true to me. So that's my guest, out
of state teacher or out of city teacher anyway who
came in for the protest. And I wouldn't be surprised
if part of the organization effort for the American Federation
of Teachers was to get membership from all across the
(14:50):
state and all across the region to show up in
the bigger city, so that you have a good sized crowd,
you know, I'm sure that's part of it too. And
just to back up my theory on this, the next
interview that Robert Arnold from KPRC two did was with
an officer with the American Federation of Teachers, the same
(15:12):
people we told you last week again that we're organizing
this event. So let's listen in to that one.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
I'm here now with Frederick Ingram.
Speaker 8 (15:19):
He is with the American Federation of Teachers, the secretary treasurer,
but he's also one of the main organizers of this particular.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
No Kings event. So that you taking the time to
talk with us.
Speaker 8 (15:28):
What went into organizing this event because it was open
to so many well but any and all organizations, groups
and just individuals.
Speaker 10 (15:35):
Well, listen, people just care about democracy, and so it
was easy organizing groups. It was easy getting out to
individuals who really care about what's going on today. You know,
people are just upset about what's going on coming out
of Washington, DC, and so we care about our public schools,
we care about health care, we care about our children,
and we want to make sure that our public policy
reflects the people.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Thank you, guys.
Speaker 8 (15:57):
We've been talking about there's a lot of apprehension leading
up to events, just this one all the others, because
we're seeing in LA today.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
From everything that we saw was very positive. What was
your experience here, Yeah, it's.
Speaker 10 (16:07):
A peaceful protest, right Martin Luther King talk to us
about the beloved community, and so I could only imagine
that he would be liking what's going on today. People
of all racist people of all cultures, people of different
zip codes coming together speaking truth to power and making
sure that their voices are heard in the democracy, but
also non valance.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
What's next for nokas well.
Speaker 10 (16:27):
Listen everything, We want people to stay engaged.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
We want to continue to.
Speaker 10 (16:30):
Get the message out that this is democracy and that
people matter, your voices matter, and that we can change things.
We can change politicians if we need to do that.
Elections matter, but you've got to get the right information.
So we believe in speaking truth to power, and we
also believe that there is power together.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
So more pressures like this when planned in the future. Absolutely.
Speaker 10 (16:51):
I think you've seen this throughout the first five months
of the administration, and I think you'll continue to see
this as long as our president continues to do things
that are anti public, then we will continue to bring
the public together. And now this is important because Houston
specifically has been ground zero for what we disengage in
with our public educators and we got to make sure
(17:13):
that we get the voice out that our students and
kids still matter.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Ah Okay, So maybe maybe part of the the reason
why you got teachers, you know, especially in Houston, that
are going to show up for this event is because,
you know, the school system was overtaken by the state.
They don't they don't like that very much because now
now they're being held accountable not only for you know,
the kids in their learning, but also in how money
(17:37):
is being spent within the system. His big word there,
mister American Federation of Teachers secretary. His big word was democracy,
democracy in the people, and power to the people. And
and public policy needs to reflect the people. Well, here's
my question. Does President and Trump and his administration does
(18:02):
the policy reflect the people?
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Are not.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
The people? The people voted for the Trump administration, whether
overwhelmingly voted for the Trump administration, and this was one
of the major policies they voted on was immigration. And
you know, getting the immigration system under control and deporting
people who are here illegally, and the majority of people
(18:27):
voted for that, that's what we voted for, So I
would I would I would tell that the the American
Federation and teacher people. I would say to them, I
do believe that that's what we voted for. That that's
the policy that the Trump administration is doing. Is reflective
of what the people want. And it's interesting too. You
(18:51):
you may have noticed this that President Trump is already
stepping up deportation efforts even further in Los Angeles and Chicago,
in New York, these major blue cities where the protesting
against him has become somewhat violent, well, at least in
the case of Los Angeles, and also in Portland. But
then again, Portland organ is overrun by anarchists. They have
(19:13):
they probably have more anarchists per capital in Portland, Oregon
than they do in Los Angeles. All right, quick will break.
We are back with more of the moment Jimmy Farrett
show here on AM nine fifty KPRC.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
I wasn't made.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
The noise from the weekend that you may or may
not have noticed, is what was going on just outside
of Minneapolis, Minnesota, where you had a guy and there's
still a lot more to learn about this guy, but
we had a man who evidently, as it turns out,
had a hit list of a about seventy different lawmakers
(20:03):
in state government in Minnesota, and he was evidently his
goal was to go out and as assassinate as many
of these people as he could. He didn't get very
far thanks to police action. In fact, the police acted
so swiftly on this, I kind of have to wonder
(20:23):
if maybe he wasn't on the radars somehow. That's the
missing component here that I think we need to find
out is whether not this guy was actually on their
radar or not. He is I don't know much about
him personally, appears to be single. He had some sort
of a roommate, and the roommate made some sort of
a claim that he's a Trump voter and very anti abortion.
(20:46):
So I don't know if abortion is the motivation behind this,
and he was targeting lawmakers that were pro abortion in
Minnesota or what the story is. I guess time will
tell us exactly what's going on with that. You know
that he had been appointed to some sort of a
board by Governor Tim Walls and Governor Tim Wallis doesn't
(21:07):
seem like somebody who would appoint a Trump supporter to anything,
let alone to some sort of board. So I'm not
sure what that relationship looks like. A lot more questions
that are going to have to be answered. He got
to the first house, killed the speaker of the Minnesota
House and her husband, then went to another politician's home,
(21:32):
shot him and his wife. They neither one of them
have died, and evidently they're going to be okay. And
that's when the police showed up. So the fact that
the police were able to put together very quickly that
this guy was going from point A to point B
and maybe on to somewhere else after that makes me
wonder if there's more that we're missing here about you know,
(21:53):
what they may have known the potential threat of this
guy was. Then he somehow or another he shot back
at police. He the reason he got into the homes
is because he had a vehicle that looked just like
a police car. He had an outfit that looked like
a Minnesota state trooper. So and he was heavily armed.
(22:15):
So you know, there was every reason I guess on
behalf of those lawmakers to think that they was a
member of the Minnesota State Police who was coming to
talk to them. So he did. He obviously did a
tremendous amount of planning. This was by no means a
spur of the moment situation. He did a tremendous amount
of planning in this thing. Here is a further report,
by the way, then I'll comment further. But here's here's
(22:36):
another report. This is from KR eleven in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
This didn't come out at the press conference we all
just listened to. But what my sources are telling me
is what led law enforcement to that specific area is
a neighbor who spotted Bolter on a trail camera, you know,
like hunters would use areas, or you know.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Landowners might have them up.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
To spot trespassers. But that trail cam was what led
law enforcement to that area. A neighbor spotted him and
got a hold of law enforcement.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Yeah, it's stunning.
Speaker 11 (23:15):
And some of those trail cameras you have to actually
go out into the woods take the chip out. Some
of them broadcast it must be right into people's computers
on bluetooth.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
So yeah, if many of them.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Have bluetooth, and you know they're for spotting games, so
you know, a big deer goes by the trail cam
and the owner of the camera will get a picture
sent right to his phone immediately. And I would surmise
that the type of camera we're talking about is a
live a bluetooth feed from the camera to whoever it
(23:49):
was that spotted him be raised a certainly interesting questions
about the reward that was listed.
Speaker 11 (23:56):
Yeah, the FBI offering a fifty thousand dollars reward.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Yeah. And one thing that really jumped up to me
listening to the press conference was they said he was
armed when he was taken into custody. We know from
the criminal complaint that the vehicle that was left at
Speaker Hartman's home after the murders there had three Ak
forty seven assault rifles and a nine millimeter handgun in it,
and then they also found a disassembled nine millimeter hand
(24:24):
done when they were searching the area. So that's you know,
three rifles two handguns at that scene.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
And he was still armed when they took him.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Into custody, so we know he had quite the arsenal
at his disposable when all this started.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
Yep. And again the only thing we're really lacking here
is the motivation. We don't really know again exactly why
he did what he did, but the fact that this
is also interesting to me. He didn't commit suicide by
comp which would have been very easy to do because
he's armed. He's still armed, you know, the police are
closing in on him thanks to that they camera that
(25:00):
spotted him. He's in the woods, and instead of coming
out either with the gun pointed at police or firing
the weapon, he comes out empty handed, with his hands
up involuntarily surrenders. So usually these kinds of things, when
when somebody has gone to the extreme that this guy's
(25:22):
gone to, usually the end result of that is suicide
by cop or you shoot yourself. Pretty rare that, you know,
they surrender. So it makes me wonder as well, you
know what the deal is with this guy? He did
he want to get caught? Did he want to be
able to tell everybody exactly why he did what he did,
(25:44):
why those people were targeted? I guess time will tell.
We'll have to wait and see what happens with that,
but I'm sure we'll find out that there was a
mental illness capacity here. Because after all, if you're not
being a leal, you do know do what this guy did.
We'll also find out that there were warning flags that
were ignored. I mean, we know all the things, right,
(26:05):
We know the laundry list of items that will come up,
of the signs that were there that were ignored, et cetera,
et cetera, because that's what we do. We just we
ignore people who are just really strange and are about
ready to do something really really bad. All right, listen,
you all have a great day. I will see you
tomorrow morning, bright and early five am over on news
(26:27):
Radio seven forty KTRH. Will be back here at four.
Hope to see you then here on AM nine fifty KTRC.
Well, what we need is more common sense.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
The youth.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Breaking down the world's nonsense about how American's common sense.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Will see us through with the common sense of Houston.
I'm just pro common sense for Houston. From Houston dot com.
This is the Jimmy Barrett Show, brought to you by
viewind dot com. Now here's Jimmy Barrett.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Happy Monday. Welcome to the show.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
We start today with a food segment, cause you know me,
I like talking about food. And first of all, tell
you we did a question today this morning. We'll share
some of the the call is with you here in
a second from our talkback. But it's always interesting to
me rules we have food. I have a lot of rules.
(00:54):
I met this about myself. I perhaps am bound by
way too many rules and my rules, but my rules
they have a they have a basis in logic. Of course,
I think they have a basis in logic. I guess
we'll see what you think. But here's what started the
conversation this morning about ketchup and eggs. Do you put
ketchup on your eggs? I do not put ketchup on
(01:17):
my eggs. I used to put ketchup on steak because
I didn't like steak, so the ketchup was there to
describe the taste of the steak, which my father would
routinely burn on the grill because he wanted all the
meat well done. And if I'd ever had if I'd
had a medium rare steak when I was a kid,
(01:39):
I'm sure I would have loved steak, because I love
it now. But no, I didn't like it, you know,
because its overcooked. As it turns out, I didn't realize
why I didn't like it. I just didn't like it,
so I drowned it in ketchup in order to make
it edible. And I don't know, But do you ever
watch the History Channel? I love the History Channel. They
have a show effective was on last night this particular,
(02:00):
the segment wasn't on, but the show was on last
nights on Sunday nights on History Channel, The Food That
Built America. And they did one segment here this is
going back a couple of years ago on Ketchup and
Ketchup Wars. And did you know that one of the
reasons why ketchup was invented and became popular was to
(02:20):
disguise the taste of meat. This goes back before refrigeration.
Right when whatever meat you got you got at the market,
and a lot of times you got meat that was
already starting to spoil, so it didn't taste good. So
the ketchup was a way to make the meat more
(02:40):
palatable so you could eat it. So it really does
play into my idea here, right, that the only reason
for things like ketchup is to disguise the taste of something. Now,
ketchup does go pretty well with potatoes. French fries and
ketchup have always gone pretty well together, although I don't
do that. Mart I got accused of being a child.
Well you're here in one of these talkbacks. I accused
(03:02):
of being a child because I put ranch dressing on
my French fries. I love rant stressing. Rant stressing is
now my favorite condiment. I'll put ranch stressing on a
lot of things. I would put it on a burger,
i'd put it on fries. I guess I kind of
used rant stressing the way I used to use ketchup.
I wouldn't put it on a hot dog, but then again,
(03:23):
I wouldn't branch that it is, But I wouldn't put
ketchup on a hot dog either. My rule is mustard.
I'll put mustard mustard onions and chili if available, will
go on my hot dog. No ketchup. It's a matter
of personal taste. But what got me started on the
whole Ketchup and eight things was not only just disguising,
(03:43):
you know, the accusation that all we're doing here is
trying to disguise what it is that we're eating, but
also the idea that hinds, you know, the Ketchup people
evidently are putting Ketchup bottles in awful houses around the country.
They say breakfast Ketchup is if somehow they have a
(04:07):
special Ketchup just for breakfast, and of course they don't.
It's the same Ketchup, it's just marked differently. They're trying
to get people to eat more Ketchup with eggs so
they can sell more Ketchup, clearly. So I started asking
this morning, are do you eat Ketchup on your eggs?
And if you don't eat ketchup on your eggs, what
condiment do you like with your eggs? And here are
a few of the responses we got.
Speaker 5 (04:28):
This is Carl from Spring I I love some mustard
with breakfast sausage.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
It's fantastic.
Speaker 4 (04:35):
Start today off right.
Speaker 6 (04:36):
Good morning, Jimmy.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
You all right.
Speaker 6 (04:39):
I do not lack eggs, so I will put capp oftillo, ketchup, salt, pepper,
whatever is available to cover up the texture and flavor
of eggs.
Speaker 7 (04:50):
Jamie, I like to put breakfast salsa on my eggs
and on my omelets. That's the same thing as regular sauce.
I'm just trying to normalize it on omelets. Also, I
like to do hot sauce all kinds of other stuff
on my eggs, and condiments on my bacon as well,
occasionally dipping it in syrup, not drowning it. Just a little.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Yeah, syrup and bacon, they are very good together. Just
I would agree, though, just a little bit. But I
thought that the second guy who who admits that, yes,
I'm putting all kinds of stuff on these eggs because
I don't like eggs, My question, of course, would be,
why are you eating eggs? Other than the fact that
they're high in protein and relatively low en calorie. Why
(05:37):
are you eating eggs if you don't like eggs. Of course,
we eat eggs and a lot of things that we
don't even realize. The eggs are in there because they
you know, they get broken up and they're they're they're
just basically holding things together, like in cakes and pies
and all that kind of stuff. I mean, we use
eggs in a whole lot of things, So I don't
think that's necessarily that people don't like the taste of
(05:57):
eggs as much as it is. Maybe it's the consistency
of eggs that bothers some people, you know, I know,
for example, you know, my wife likes her eggs really
really running. She likes everything undercooked, especially her eggs. I'm
me not so much. No, I don't want my eggs
(06:20):
well done, but I but I you know, I do
want a little bit of running this if it's a
fried egg, I'd certainly want to be running if there's
a poached egg, because that's half the beauty of a
poached egg. But the scrabbled egg. I can see why
some people might have a texture or a consistency issue
when it comes to eggs.
Speaker 8 (06:37):
Jimmy Handy from Spring Love the show Ranch dressing on
French fries.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Are you five years old? Have a great day?
Speaker 6 (06:45):
Hey, this is Jerry, are out to cut shoot and
h I like ketchup. But I don't like that purple
green stuff to try to put out one time.
Speaker 4 (06:55):
But yeah, rad Ketchup's good, purple and green.
Speaker 9 (06:58):
No, Jimmy Megan from Keema. Hey, the best thing on
eggs sausage gravy. Oh yeah, can't beat that. Throw maybe
a biscuit in there with it. But give me a
nice heap. Being a bunch of eggs with hot sausage
gravy sounds great to me.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
You know, it sounds great to me too. I do
love some sausage gravy. And one of my favorite breakfast,
one of my favorite breakfast joints, they have something they
call a Southern fried arnold. You ready for this. It's
it's a biscuit, or at least there's half of a biscuit.
It's it's a biscuit. And then you've got on top
of that, you've got a deep fried chicken breast, I
(07:42):
mean nice, nice, and you know, Southern fried chicken breast.
And then on top of that, you've got a poached egg.
And then on top of all that it's smothered and
sausage gravy, and that all that is so good, so good.
All right, Now that I've made myself and maybe you
a little bit hungry is take a little break. We'll
be back with Born a moment. Jimmy Birch here on
AM nine fifty KRC. All right, there was a note
(08:24):
King's protest over the weekend here in Houston. I am
not quite sure how many people showed up. I've seen
a variety of different camera angles. I know it wasn't
just in the city. I know there were some suburban
spots that had some protesting going on too. But here's
the way I look at it. This is a city.
(08:46):
We include all the suburban area, the entire metro area
of Houston. We're talking about well over six million people.
So even if you had fifteen thousand people show up
in downtown Houston, and I don't think the number was
that high though, though I PBS reported it that high.
Of course, the Krawan wanted to sound like it was
a huge throng of people. Those are both progressive, you know, publications,
(09:09):
so I would expect them to, you know, to want
to make it sound like there's a huge crowd there.
I would say it's closer. I would think it's closer
to a couple of thousand versus fifteen thousand. But but
whatever they showed up here. Here's the main thing you
need to know is people showed up. No nothing got
set on fire, nothing got a brick thrown at it.
(09:33):
Nobody was there hassling the police. They had their signs.
One of that saw what was the one I saw? Oh, maga,
make America gay again? Somebody somebody from you know, obviously
from the Pride Network or whatever, you know, because June
is Pride month. I haven't been mentioning a much because,
(09:55):
first of all, do we need an entire month, you know,
to be proud of being gay? I mean, can't we
do that in a week or a couple of days?
Do have to do? Do you have to devote an
entire month of that? And and that really wasn't what
the protesting supposed it was all about anyway, right, make
America gay again? Anyway? You know, there are signs a
(10:17):
little bit channing going on, but it was it was
relatively quiet. Everybody was behaving themselves. It was the kind
of protests that I would expect out of Texans. No
violence going on, nothing getting burned down, cop cars not
getting none of them, but you know, getting harassed in
any way, shape or former, let alone set on fire.
So it went very well. Here's a couple of reports
(10:39):
from our television partner KPU hear C too. Let's start
with this one. This is a report from Robert Arnold
h This is towards the beginning of the protest and
here he is talking about how many people are there
and talking to some of the people who are there.
Speaker 8 (10:53):
Right now, we're at the corner of Smith and McKinney
and the entire park, the entire area in front of
Houston City Hall is filled with people. More protesters continue
to show up there now in a park that is
across the street from city Hall. That's a part that's
in between the Federal Courthouse and City Hall, and the
crowd just continues to grow.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
There's definitely hundreds here.
Speaker 8 (11:12):
I don't want to give any more of an esthmate
of that, but obviously there are hundreds of people here.
As I say, more people keep showing up, keep showing up.
The crowd has worked very hard. Part of me, the
organizers have worked very hard to have palace of water
out because it is hot out here. There's medic stations
set up and for about the past I'd say thirty
five minutes. Everybody in the crowd has been listening to
several speakers, city council members, congressional members, state representatives, as
(11:37):
well as political groups as speaking here to this crowd.
I do want to take you over here. Some of
the people who have come out, we've spoken out. I'm sorry,
I'm Robert still, nice to meet you. Dylan, explain to
us why was it important for you to come out
here to that.
Speaker 5 (11:50):
I think it's important today that we show solidarity with
the rest of the country as we stand against fascism.
America is headed towards an authoritarian government and that's un American,
it's UNWUS and this is not what we stand for
in this country.
Speaker 8 (12:02):
Are you with any particular group? Are you just coming
out here on your own as the citizen, just.
Speaker 5 (12:06):
Coming out here today on our own to show solidarity
with the people across the country who are protesting this
nonsense in the White House?
Speaker 8 (12:12):
Okay, And it's been it's been smooth. Everything's going on.
And was there a little bit of nervousness because what
we saw in la or anything like that. It seems
like the speakers were continually saying.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
Let's keep this peaceful. Let's let's keep this you know upbeat.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
Houston tends to be a fairly moderate city. Let's be honest,
and you know we we protest peacefully. The police here
tend to handle this well. You don't see anybody throwing
to your gas and rocks today. This is in LA
this isn't Seattle. But we're coming out here to let
our voices be heard as loud as possible today.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
Okay. A couple things about that, are they're a suspect
of me? Maybe it's just me. Let's see what you think.
First of all, how many times do he say the
word solidarity? So, solidarity with the rest of the country,
Solidarity with the people of Houston. Uh, solidarity, now, solidarity forever.
(13:04):
That usually when you see somebody who's mentioning solidarity, that's
kind of a big part of what their speech is.
You show me somebody doing that. If this is from
my past experience in Detroit, I think you're talking to
some sort of a union member. Union members love the
word solidarity. That's their favorite word to use is solidarity.
(13:28):
So I'm going to guess that this person they talked
to was the member of a union. Okay, well, what,
we don't have a lot of unions in Houston, but
we do have the American Federation of Teachers union, which
was a big organizer of this event. So do you
(13:50):
think that maybe this person they talked to was a teacher?
Probably so kind of looked like a teacher. Don't know
for sure, Bob, I guess and say, yep, maybe a teacher.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Also.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Did you notice they said Houston seems to be a
fairly moderate city. Is it just me or does that
sound like somebody who's not from here, who doesn't live here.
What it's kind of like talking about Houston in the
third person instead of saying, you know, we're pretty moderate
here in Houston, we don't do you know whatever, But
(14:27):
you don't start by saying Houston is a moderate city.
I don't think you do anyway that that that didn't
seem ring true to me. So that's my guest, out
of state teacher or out of city teacher anyway who
came in for the protest. And I wouldn't be surprised
if part of the organization effort for the American Federation
of Teachers was to get membership from all across the
(14:50):
state and all across the region to show up in
the bigger city, so that you have a good sized crowd,
you know, I'm sure that's part of it too. And
just to back up my theory on this, the next
interview that Robert Arnold from KPRC two did was with
an officer with the American Federation of Teachers, the same
(15:12):
people we told you last week again that we're organizing
this event. So let's listen in to that one.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
I'm here now with Frederick Ingram.
Speaker 8 (15:19):
He is with the American Federation of Teachers, the secretary treasurer,
but he's also one of the main organizers of this particular.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
No Kings event. So that you taking the time to
talk with us.
Speaker 8 (15:28):
What went into organizing this event because it was open
to so many well but any and all organizations, groups
and just individuals.
Speaker 10 (15:35):
Well, listen, people just care about democracy, and so it
was easy organizing groups. It was easy getting out to
individuals who really care about what's going on today. You know,
people are just upset about what's going on coming out
of Washington, DC, and so we care about our public schools,
we care about health care, we care about our children,
and we want to make sure that our public policy
reflects the people.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Thank you, guys.
Speaker 8 (15:57):
We've been talking about there's a lot of apprehension leading
up to events, just this one all the others, because
we're seeing in LA today.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
From everything that we saw was very positive. What was
your experience here, Yeah, it's.
Speaker 10 (16:07):
A peaceful protest, right Martin Luther King talk to us
about the beloved community, and so I could only imagine
that he would be liking what's going on today. People
of all racist people of all cultures, people of different
zip codes coming together speaking truth to power and making
sure that their voices are heard in the democracy, but
also non valance.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
What's next for nokas well.
Speaker 10 (16:27):
Listen everything, We want people to stay engaged.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
We want to continue to.
Speaker 10 (16:30):
Get the message out that this is democracy and that
people matter, your voices matter, and that we can change things.
We can change politicians if we need to do that.
Elections matter, but you've got to get the right information.
So we believe in speaking truth to power, and we
also believe that there is power together.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
So more pressures like this when planned in the future. Absolutely.
Speaker 10 (16:51):
I think you've seen this throughout the first five months
of the administration, and I think you'll continue to see
this as long as our president continues to do things
that are anti public, then we will continue to bring
the public together. And now this is important because Houston
specifically has been ground zero for what we disengage in
with our public educators and we got to make sure
(17:13):
that we get the voice out that our students and
kids still matter.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Ah Okay, So maybe maybe part of the the reason
why you got teachers, you know, especially in Houston, that
are going to show up for this event is because,
you know, the school system was overtaken by the state.
They don't they don't like that very much because now
now they're being held accountable not only for you know,
the kids in their learning, but also in how money
(17:37):
is being spent within the system. His big word there,
mister American Federation of Teachers secretary. His big word was democracy,
democracy in the people, and power to the people. And
and public policy needs to reflect the people. Well, here's
my question. Does President and Trump and his administration does
(18:02):
the policy reflect the people?
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Are not.
Speaker 4 (18:06):
The people? The people voted for the Trump administration, whether
overwhelmingly voted for the Trump administration, and this was one
of the major policies they voted on was immigration. And
you know, getting the immigration system under control and deporting
people who are here illegally, and the majority of people
(18:27):
voted for that, that's what we voted for, So I
would I would I would tell that the the American
Federation and teacher people. I would say to them, I
do believe that that's what we voted for. That that's
the policy that the Trump administration is doing. Is reflective
of what the people want. And it's interesting too. You
(18:51):
you may have noticed this that President Trump is already
stepping up deportation efforts even further in Los Angeles and Chicago,
in New York, these major blue cities where the protesting
against him has become somewhat violent, well, at least in
the case of Los Angeles, and also in Portland. But
then again, Portland organ is overrun by anarchists. They have
(19:13):
they probably have more anarchists per capital in Portland, Oregon
than they do in Los Angeles. All right, quick will break.
We are back with more of the moment Jimmy Farrett
show here on AM nine fifty KPRC.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
I wasn't made.
Speaker 4 (19:39):
The noise from the weekend that you may or may
not have noticed, is what was going on just outside
of Minneapolis, Minnesota, where you had a guy and there's
still a lot more to learn about this guy, but
we had a man who evidently, as it turns out,
had a hit list of a about seventy different lawmakers
(20:03):
in state government in Minnesota, and he was evidently his
goal was to go out and as assassinate as many
of these people as he could. He didn't get very
far thanks to police action. In fact, the police acted
so swiftly on this, I kind of have to wonder
(20:23):
if maybe he wasn't on the radars somehow. That's the
missing component here that I think we need to find
out is whether not this guy was actually on their
radar or not. He is I don't know much about
him personally, appears to be single. He had some sort
of a roommate, and the roommate made some sort of
a claim that he's a Trump voter and very anti abortion.
(20:46):
So I don't know if abortion is the motivation behind this,
and he was targeting lawmakers that were pro abortion in
Minnesota or what the story is. I guess time will
tell us exactly what's going on with that. You know
that he had been appointed to some sort of a
board by Governor Tim Walls and Governor Tim Wallis doesn't
(21:07):
seem like somebody who would appoint a Trump supporter to anything,
let alone to some sort of board. So I'm not
sure what that relationship looks like. A lot more questions
that are going to have to be answered. He got
to the first house, killed the speaker of the Minnesota
House and her husband, then went to another politician's home,
(21:32):
shot him and his wife. They neither one of them
have died, and evidently they're going to be okay. And
that's when the police showed up. So the fact that
the police were able to put together very quickly that
this guy was going from point A to point B
and maybe on to somewhere else after that makes me
wonder if there's more that we're missing here about you know,
(21:53):
what they may have known the potential threat of this
guy was. Then he somehow or another he shot back
at police. He the reason he got into the homes
is because he had a vehicle that looked just like
a police car. He had an outfit that looked like
a Minnesota state trooper. So and he was heavily armed.
(22:15):
So you know, there was every reason I guess on
behalf of those lawmakers to think that they was a
member of the Minnesota State Police who was coming to
talk to them. So he did. He obviously did a
tremendous amount of planning. This was by no means a
spur of the moment situation. He did a tremendous amount
of planning in this thing. Here is a further report,
by the way, then I'll comment further. But here's here's
(22:36):
another report. This is from KR eleven in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
This didn't come out at the press conference we all
just listened to. But what my sources are telling me
is what led law enforcement to that specific area is
a neighbor who spotted Bolter on a trail camera, you know,
like hunters would use areas, or you know.
Speaker 4 (23:01):
Landowners might have them up.
Speaker 2 (23:03):
To spot trespassers. But that trail cam was what led
law enforcement to that area. A neighbor spotted him and
got a hold of law enforcement.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Yeah, it's stunning.
Speaker 11 (23:15):
And some of those trail cameras you have to actually
go out into the woods take the chip out. Some
of them broadcast it must be right into people's computers
on bluetooth.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
So yeah, if many of them.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Have bluetooth, and you know they're for spotting games, so
you know, a big deer goes by the trail cam
and the owner of the camera will get a picture
sent right to his phone immediately. And I would surmise
that the type of camera we're talking about is a
live a bluetooth feed from the camera to whoever it
(23:49):
was that spotted him be raised a certainly interesting questions
about the reward that was listed.
Speaker 11 (23:56):
Yeah, the FBI offering a fifty thousand dollars reward.
Speaker 2 (23:59):
Yeah. And one thing that really jumped up to me
listening to the press conference was they said he was
armed when he was taken into custody. We know from
the criminal complaint that the vehicle that was left at
Speaker Hartman's home after the murders there had three Ak
forty seven assault rifles and a nine millimeter handgun in it,
and then they also found a disassembled nine millimeter hand
(24:24):
done when they were searching the area. So that's you know,
three rifles two handguns at that scene.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
And he was still armed when they took him.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Into custody, so we know he had quite the arsenal
at his disposable when all this started.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
Yep. And again the only thing we're really lacking here
is the motivation. We don't really know again exactly why
he did what he did, but the fact that this
is also interesting to me. He didn't commit suicide by
comp which would have been very easy to do because
he's armed. He's still armed, you know, the police are
closing in on him thanks to that they camera that
(25:00):
spotted him. He's in the woods, and instead of coming
out either with the gun pointed at police or firing
the weapon, he comes out empty handed, with his hands
up involuntarily surrenders. So usually these kinds of things, when
when somebody has gone to the extreme that this guy's
(25:22):
gone to, usually the end result of that is suicide
by cop or you shoot yourself. Pretty rare that, you know,
they surrender. So it makes me wonder as well, you
know what the deal is with this guy? He did
he want to get caught? Did he want to be
able to tell everybody exactly why he did what he did,
(25:44):
why those people were targeted? I guess time will tell.
We'll have to wait and see what happens with that,
but I'm sure we'll find out that there was a
mental illness capacity here. Because after all, if you're not
being a leal, you do know do what this guy did.
We'll also find out that there were warning flags that
were ignored. I mean, we know all the things, right,
(26:05):
We know the laundry list of items that will come up,
of the signs that were there that were ignored, et cetera,
et cetera, because that's what we do. We just we
ignore people who are just really strange and are about
ready to do something really really bad. All right, listen,
you all have a great day. I will see you
tomorrow morning, bright and early five am over on news
(26:27):
Radio seven forty KTRH. Will be back here at four.
Hope to see you then here on AM nine fifty KTRC.
