Speaker 1 (00:02):
Well, what we need is more common sense.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Common.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Breaking down the world's nonsense about how American's common sense will.
Speaker 4 (00:14):
See us through with the common sense of Houston. I'm
just pro common sense for Houston. From Houston. This is
the Jimmy Barrett Show, brought to you by viewind dot Com.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Now here's Jimmy Barrett.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
All right, today is good Friday. I know that some
of you probably are church services this afternoon. Of course
you're you're not listening to me, are you?
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Church?
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Please don't do that. I don't want to get in
trouble with whoever your pastor is. Anyway, if you're listening
right now, Happy Easter, Happy Passover, if you happen to
be Jewish, whatever the case may be. It's gonna be
interesting to see how Easter is at the White House
this year. I think it's gonna be a whole different deal.
For one thing, we will not have a bunny guarding
(01:01):
the President this year. I'm pretty sure if there's an
Easter Bunny, somebody in an Easter bunny costume at at
the White House for their Easter egg role, whenever they
do that, I'm pretty sure that person's job is not
going to be to follow Trump around and to keep
him from falling down or embarrassing self by answering questions
that he shouldn't be answering that I feel pretty certain
(01:22):
about now. We got a little discussion this morning about
Easter baskets when we were kids. And you know, the
thing about being an adult is, you know, as you
look back, everything seems like it was bigger and better
when you were young, and the reality is a lot
of it has to do with just your size. You know,
(01:43):
I could help, but think about that. You know, when
I was a kid, you know, I grew up just
outside of Detroit, and I grew up a Detroit Tigers fan,
and my dad would take me to baseball games at
Tiger Stadium when I was a kid. That was a
fairly routine for us to do. I father something that
we would do, And I remember walking into Tiger's State
and thinking, Wow, this place is so big. And I'm guessing,
(02:06):
if you have young kids and you've taken them to
taking them to see the Astros place, the same thing. Right,
You walk into the stadium as a child and the
stadium seems so big, But then you grow up as
an adult and you go back and you figure out
now it really wasn't that big. It just, you know,
it was just my perspective as a child. So maybe
(02:26):
it's the same thing with Easter baskets. I just I
just seemed to recall that when I was a kid
and we would get Easter baskets as kids, that it
seemed like the Easter baskets were big, and they didn't
just have candy in them, they had toys in them
and other things. Now, I don't think that we really
had much in the way of toys. If I know
my mother, she probably slipped a book or something in there.
(02:48):
She was always good for. She was always good for that.
All we wanted was the candy. I really don't need
a book, mom. Thanks anyway, you're taking up space that
could be filled with candy. But I remember as a kid,
I used to I used to love the chocolate bunny
because my mom would take the trouble to buy a
really good one. You know, when you were a kid,
do you remember some of those chocolate bunnies. They were
(03:08):
kind of waxy, you know, they didn't you know, the
chocolate just didn't seem like it was really great quality chocolate.
I imagine now I know, Lint, for example, makes a
chocolate bunny. I imagine that might be one of the
better ones, where it's really creamy chocolate, you know, Hershey's.
I haven't had a chocolate bunny in a long long time,
(03:30):
so I don't know. I do recall as a kid
making a judgment about whether this was going to be
a good Easter basket or bad Easter basket based on
that chocolate bunny. If you open up the chocolate bunny
and you took a bite and the chocolate bunny was hollow,
then everything else was suspect, you know, because because if
(03:51):
your parents were spending really a decent amount of money
on your Easter basket, then you had the real deal.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
You had.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
You had a solid chocolate bunny, none of this, you know,
none of this, you know, empty in the middle kind
of stuff. So you know, that was part of the judgment.
I'd like the chocolate bunny. I like the little milk
chocolate Easter eggs, not the ones, you know, not the
ones that had any kind of filling inside, just pure chocolate.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Small.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
You know, you could just put them in their mouth
and you could kind of suck on them all morning long.
You know, they take a while for you to enjoy it,
and it was. It was in your warm mouth and
it got nice and creamy and yum. That was good stuff.
So we're asking our listeners this morning on kat r
H what the favorite was the favorite thing they got
in their Easter basket. What do you recall is some
of the favorite things that you got when you were
(04:37):
a kid in your Easter basket.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
This is Jack in Connecticut.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
My favorite candy in the Easter basket was the big
chocolate Bunny. My least favorite candy was the peaks.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
Have a great day, good morning, and Happy Friday, Jimmy.
This is Jared from Parland. My favorite thing to get
in my Easter basket was jelly bellies. I'm a huge
jelly belly fan and kind of sou and all the
different flavors they had. My parents would try hard to
get me in different flavors or cool things that was
going on for Easters.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
So I appreciated those to see. When I was a kid,
we didn't know anything about jelly bellies. You know, my
childhood predated my very young childhood. When I was getting
Easter baskets pre dated Ronald Reagan. We didn't really We
didn't know about jelly bellies until Ronald Reagan came along.
And I don't think jelly bellies were outside of California
until Ronald Reagan came along. And then all of a sudden,
(05:30):
you know, everybody saw him meeting those things, and before
you know it, jelly Belly is like that, one of
the biggest candy companies in the entire country, and it's
it's a nationwide thing.
Speaker 7 (05:40):
The the.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
I don't even know where they came from or who
made them, but the jelly, you know, the jelly means
we got in our easter basket. That was my least
favorite thing. They weren't very good. They just weren't very good. Now,
when jelly Bullies came along, that changed the game. All right,
who else do we have?
Speaker 4 (05:59):
It?
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Like to tell me what the favorite thing in the
easter basket?
Speaker 8 (06:01):
Hey guys, it's Colleen from Montgomery. My favorite Easter candy
when I was a kid was the little chocolate nest
with coconut all in it and there were three little
jelly beans on top.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Oh yeah, loved them.
Speaker 8 (06:18):
Thanks, loved the show.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I remember that. I remember that, and I love coconut,
so I'd eat the chocolate nest with the coconut. But
I'm pretty sure I either gave the jelly beans to
my sisters or just threw them all away. Now this
this listener has a kind of a unique Easter basket
story to tell. The second person on this on this
(06:39):
little talkback feature.
Speaker 9 (06:40):
Hey, Jimmy, this is Paul from Houston.
Speaker 10 (06:43):
Look, my favorite thing in the Easter basket was a
hard show chocolate funny.
Speaker 11 (06:48):
It's a big one and a chocolate glass on New
Thanks Jimmy Halvy Easter dude.
Speaker 8 (06:54):
Hey was that Jimmy?
Speaker 6 (06:56):
You hear?
Speaker 3 (06:56):
This is so Easter basket.
Speaker 7 (06:58):
Not for me, but we got for our girls one
year when they're uh last year of high school. We
got them poop is fired baskets.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Yes, they've got.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
Squatty potties, the little poop e Mody candies, a little
poop Emodi pillow.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
But yes, we called it their Easter basket.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Can say that, I hope.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
So anyways, you got edited edit it?
Speaker 2 (07:20):
We did. We did. Okay, Yeah, that's interesting. But with
a with a poop theme for the Easter basket that
I don't know, I would say that's sacriligious. But Easter
has nothing to do in reality with easter bunnies or
Easter basket. So I think we can completely separate those things, right,
all right, quick little break, It is good Friday. We'll
(07:41):
be back with Mortal Moment Jimmy Barrett Show. You're a Name,
nine fifty KPRC. Well, the first of this doubling down
(08:05):
on illegal immigration and criminal illegals in particular. Yes, they're
doubling down on this. I think it's safe to say
that it is official that the Democrat policy is as follows.
Anything that Donald Trump is against, we are for anything
Donald Trump is for. We are against. Just that simple,
(08:27):
Just that simple. So President Trump is deporting criminal, illegal aliens. Therefore,
Democrats feel the need to rescue said illegal immigrants because
this is going to endear them to the illegal immigrant population,
who theoretically can't vote anyway. This is going to appeal
(08:50):
to Hispanics in the United States US citizens who are
of Hispanic origin, because they want criminals running around. I
don't I'm trying to figure out how this makes any
logical sense. Forgive me for doing that. I have a
very bad habit of doing that. I have a very
(09:11):
bad habit of trying to make sense out of things
that just don't make any sense. But here's the thing
that's also changed. You know, it's one thing for a
Democrat senator from Maryland, a progressive left senator from Maryland,
to chase down to L. Salvador looking for photo ops
of him trying to get release for this prisoner who
(09:31):
turns out is indeed a gang member and is a
wife beater. On top of that, Yeah we have Yeah,
let's bring him back so he can beat up on
his wife some more. So he's down there doing that.
I guess he finally was allowed to meet with him.
There's this weird shot there, like sitting at a picnic
table outside, so I assume it's in the prison yard,
and there's like drinks there and I swear to god,
(09:53):
they're drinking margarita's. They can wait a minute. I thought
this prison was a hell hole. They're serving margaritas at
a maximum security for the worst and the worst at L. Salvador. Seriously,
I mean, he was a cherry on top, sold on
the rim. I'm pretty sure it was a margarita. Anyway,
(10:15):
what comes of that? Who knows nothing, I'm going to guess,
and I'm sure truth be told that this Senator probably
doesn't want the guy released anyway. He just wanted the
photo opportunity of him down there trying to secure the
release of this illegal alien that that was wrongfully deported
(10:35):
by Donald Trump. This man did not get his due process.
He was in the United States illegally. You know, if
he was going to be charged with domestic abuse, then yeah, okay,
if he was staying in the country, then the due
process would be for him to have his day in
(10:55):
court over the charges of domestic abuse. But there's no
need for a due day in court when you're here
illegally and everybody knows you're here illegally, and the president,
thanks to illegal aliens active it is. If he is
indeed a gang member, then hey, again, every right to
deport him as well. And he is not a citizen
in the United States. He's a citizen of val Salvador.
(11:17):
That he's back in his country. Fortune he needs to
if he wants due process, he can get due process
with his own countrymen with his own country. But now
you've got people like Hillary Clinton who's doubling down on
this whole illegal alien thing. They've decided they're going to
make this a cause. You know, the party leaders are
(11:39):
trying to make this a cause. Now, even James Carville,
who's been very critical of many of the things that
Democrats are doing. I've got him right here talking about,
you know, making this a cause for the Democrat Party
UH to reverse deportation of illegal aliens that they want
to make they want to make this a d number
(11:59):
one shoe for the Democrat Party. They somehow see this
as an opportunity to finally grab an issue against Donald
Trump that will get some traction. I don't think it
gets any attraction, but we'll see. By the way, In
addition to James Carville, we'll hear from a guy we
had on our morning show here the last week or two.
Terrell County Sheriff Thouteus Cleveland responds after we hear from
(12:22):
James Carville and what he would like to see the
Democrats do on the issue of illegal immigration and deportation.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
And I watch this, there's real wisdom in it, and
history has taught us at and first they came for him,
and then we're going to say no, right, Dad, we
got to keep fighting this. I think this is worthy
of being at the top agenda of things that we're
going to fight out's get this guy back, hope.
Speaker 10 (12:49):
And that's disheartening because again, I was a US for
arbitral agent. I'm a sure f on the border, heavily
engaged in border security. We don't have from my community.
We have a border security issue. But I can do
my job very compassionately. I go out, I apprehend people,
turn them over to the border patrol. They're treated very well,
and then they're sitting back to the country there there
they come from. But for for all these folks, for
(13:11):
the left to continually throw darts at, whether it's as
President Trump. Of course, the last four years, it was
our governor, Governor Abbott who was filling the gap of
the US government where they were falling short. So again
I'm one of those people that he's probably referring to.
But it couldn't be further from the truth. I do
my job, and I do it compassionately and fairly. It's
modern it's modern day slavery. They want low wate, unskilled
(13:34):
laborers to come to the country to do to do
their dirty work, to live in the shadows.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
That that's what it's about. Okay.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
So so in the mind of Sheriff Cleveland, he believes
that that that's the motivation. It's the cheap labor. It's
the cheap labor aspect. They I think it's more than
cheap labor. That may be a component that I do
agree that it really is modern day slavery. Yea, to
(14:00):
entice people to come into your country, force them to
live in the shadows, take advantage of them by paying
them less than normal wages in order to do jobs
that they should not be doing because they're here illegally
got and forcing them to live in the shadows. That
is that that is like modern day slavery. I would
agree with that analogy, but I think it's it's more
(14:22):
about again, I think it's always been about, you know,
building up the numbers of immigrants from other countries, regardless
of what you have to do to get them here,
and then figure out how you can get them the
ability to vote. I guess they haven't quite figured out
the ability to vote thing yet, but that doesn't mean
they're not working on it.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
All right.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
So President Trump got he's been continually asked by the
progressive media about illegal immigration and about criminals and deporting them.
He got asked about, you know, these Democrats going down
to El Salvador to see this Maryland guy. I shouldn't
call them Maryland, but the Salvadoran from that was living
(15:04):
in Maryland, the illegal So here's the president talking about that,
with some reaction at the other end from Greg Guttfeld.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
The criminals at the highest level murderers.
Speaker 11 (15:15):
Many of those people murdered more than one person, and
they're on the loose. And I was elected to get
rid of those criminals, to get him out of our country,
or to put them away, but to get him out
of our country. And I don't see how judges can
take that authority away from a president.
Speaker 12 (15:32):
How do you think Van Holland felt sitting on the plane,
you know, heading to Al Salvador.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
As the news comes out about.
Speaker 12 (15:39):
This father of the Year, It's like, wait, this illegal
immigrant has a history of violence, attacked his wife one
or two times.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Is it too late to turn around? Can we go?
Speaker 7 (15:51):
So?
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Can we do an emergency? I have a medical emergency.
Speaker 12 (15:54):
You should have faked the medical emergency and landed in Miami.
You know, usually constituents fall for this bs from politicians.
It's rare to see a politician fall for their own BS.
Don't hit your own stash. By the way, is it true,
coreyback Corey Booker is going.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
I don't as I understand that that trip is still on.
Speaker 12 (16:14):
My theory, it's because it's a captive audience. He's going
to a prison. They can't leave. When he starts yapping.
After ten minutes, they're going to be begging for the
lethal injection. But the Democrats keep egging each other on
to participate in actions that only damage their credibility and
their careers and their future.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Remember it's the Dems.
Speaker 12 (16:34):
Who told people to take to the streets, get in
their faces, bring.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
The fight to the to the people, while.
Speaker 12 (16:42):
Also telling them that their enemy is a Nazi or
a Hitler. Van Holland took debate. Now I think he's
a dead fish. Who can take him seriously? After this,
you know you're chasing a wife beater, you know, like
it's a climax a love. Actually, this Maryland Dad is
yet another like day least special that they serve up
to the glible who are incapable of seeing telling truth
(17:06):
from fiction. This situation will stick with them. But do
you ever, I mean, think about people who aren't a politician, Like,
do you think anybody's going to hire a Colombian student
who tore down posters of hostages. So they were fed
a lot of propaganda and they're going to pay for it.
People vandalizing cars, people going to hire that guy.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
They're going to know his name.
Speaker 12 (17:24):
He was filmed, and now you got Van Holland, who
looks like a complete tool. This stuff sticks with you
when you fall for this crap.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
You know, it's funny because he started that by saying
because this was the day ahead of time, So Greg
Guffel didn't know when he did this that Van Holland
had stayed and he eventually did meet with him, so
he he didn't have enough sense mid flight to say,
oh my god, I got to turn around and go back,
what am I doing? The ones that are into this
(17:54):
are into a hook line and sinker. Oh by the way,
story we're going to have on Monday for you on
news radio seven and four KTRH. President Trump is looking
at paying illegals to self deport. How much I don't know,
but here's the check we're going to you know, here's
(18:15):
X amount of dollars you have to leave the thing
that you know that makes that make at least a
little bit of sense is. I wouldn't have said during
the Biden administration that a program like that would make
any sense, because these people, you'd pay them to leave,
and then they just turn right around and come back again. Right.
But now I'd like to think the border is secure
(18:35):
enough that if you actually pay them to self deport,
they'd actually be gone and not be able to get
back in. All right, quick little break. We are back
with boor in a moment having good Friday, Jimmy Baird
Show here on Name nine fifty KPRC. All Right, I'm
(19:06):
sure you're familiar with what happened at Florida State University
yesterday with the shooting on campus happened at the student union.
I'm not really familiar with the Florida State campus. Obviously,
I didn't go to school there. I haven't even been
to tell where's it Tallahassee. I think it is Tallahassee
(19:27):
because Florida's in Gainesville, right, Okay, anyway, I have not
been to the campus. I hear it's a beautiful campus.
It certainly looked like by what I saw on television.
You've got evidently a student, a current student, twenty year old,
who is responsible for the shooting. He killed two people.
He wounded six others before he was shot himself. His
(19:50):
wounds are not life threatening, so he will recover. He
is refusing to talk to police, so at least as
of right now, we have no idea of what what
the motivation is for what he did. We know that
he is a, as I said, a twenty year old
student who transferred from a community college or junior college
to Florida State, along with some other students who seem
(20:13):
to know him fairly well. Don't know what he was
taking or majoring in. I do know that evidently he's
worried about exams, saying he wasn't ready. Then again, if
you were to ask most college students if they weren't, hey,
you ready for finals, and the answer would probably be no.
But I'm gonna have to do the best I can.
(20:34):
So I don't know what his motivation is, and he's
not indicating what his motivation is.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
I do know.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
The thing that makes it kind of different is that
his mother is a sheriff's deputy and has also been
a school resource officer in a bit of irony, so
at least at some point in her career she's been
responsible for the safety of school children from things like this.
(21:01):
We also know that her son had did the shooting
used her old service firearm in order to do the shooting.
What we don't know is, first, well, there's been no
mention of a father, and I'm one of those people
still thinks that fathers are important, So it'd be nice
to know, if you know, what sort of male influence,
if any, this kid had in his life. So there's
(21:24):
a lot of things we still don't know about it,
but we do know that we've been getting reaction from
the students at Florida State though, especially ones that evidently
knew him, and there's some, you know, strange differences between
what some of these students are saying. I'll start with
the strangest one first. There's here's a student who knew
him from junior college who basically says that he was
(21:45):
part of a political group and they had to kick
him out.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
The shooter is suspected.
Speaker 13 (21:50):
Shooter has been identified by police as an FSU student.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
By the name of Phoenix Eichner. I know it's a
big school. Did you happen to know him?
Speaker 5 (21:58):
So?
Speaker 1 (21:58):
I actually I spent my first two years at Tallahassee
now called step Tallahassee State College, but we called it TCC,
and I was the president of a political talk group
called the Political Roundtable, and he joined the club when I.
Speaker 9 (22:12):
Was at TCC.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
We are basically our only rule was no Nazis coloqu
wheely speaking, and he espoused so much white supremacist rhetoric
and far right rhetoric as well, to the point where
we had to exercise that rule. I also know he
was a member of the TCC Turning Point Chapter and
(22:36):
since that, since TCC, I have seen him in passing
a couple of times. I was since today, I was
talking to a friend who had talked to him yesterday
or two days ago, pardon me, and he was talking
about how he wasn't ready for exams.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Okay, there's a not very for exam thing. Nope, I'm
going to take what this kid is saying with a
grand assault when he refers to him as a white supremacist,
because he starts the conversation, but we just don't allow
Nazis colloquially speaking.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
So you know, Nazi.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
When you hear the term Nazi or white supremacist, you
know the first thing that comes to mind, is Okay,
here is a kid who's probably progressive, far left indoctrinated.
You know this, he's he espoused far right views. He
may have just been like, he may have been maga conservative,
(23:29):
you know, which can make you stand out amongst other students.
I mean, the motive unless the motivation was political in nature,
and it sure doesn't strike me that it probably was.
Wet Again, we don't know his motivation. I'm going to
take with a grain of salt that he was a
quote unquote white supremacist or Nazi, because I know that
that's what people like to call Trump, people on the
far left like to call Trump and uh and and
(23:52):
probably that person might refer to me as somebody like
that because I'm a conservative. So I'll take that with
a grain of salt. I mean, can begin a cooperation here?
Is there any other group of students who knew this guy? Yeah,
turns out there are.
Speaker 9 (24:07):
Tell me your reaction when you learned that the when
you learned who the shooter was.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
I was floored. Honestly, I didn't.
Speaker 7 (24:16):
I didn't know what to think because you know, you
never think that anyone you know personally is capable of
doing something like this and so for us to hear
about it, it was it was completely shocking, and I
was deeply saddened to hear about what happened to us
here at FSU, and you know, you know, the FSU family,
(24:37):
And honestly, I feel sad.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
My prayers and.
Speaker 7 (24:41):
Condolences go out to all those involved, and I honestly
just I don't even know what to think. I'm I'm
still processing it personally, and I want.
Speaker 9 (24:52):
To ask you you personally knew him because you guys
were in the same program together.
Speaker 13 (24:57):
Yeah, so we went to the talle See Community College
then State College together before he had come here. This
was his first semester that I know of f s U,
And I mean, for the most part, he was like
an average day person.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
We got along well.
Speaker 13 (25:13):
I had a mutual.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Friend with him, and we would all hang out.
Speaker 13 (25:17):
He's been to our place together a couple of times,
and what I mean, we've gone like roller skating and
all that together. So this whenever we were at home
and we were listening to the report and everything and
they said.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
His name, I had him rewind the the feed.
Speaker 13 (25:34):
A couple like two or three times before I finally
realized that this is the person I thought it was,
because when the first time I heard it, I thought
that he was one of the few people injured. But
now it's just it's weird to think about that that
that was what he was capable of, because he never
showed any signs. So I don't really know what to
think of it now.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Ah, I don't.
Speaker 2 (25:56):
She doesn't strike me as the kind of young lady
who hangs out with white supremacist and Nazis. Did she
strike to use that way? No, No, I'm pretty sure
if you're close enough to a guy like they seem
to be, if they were a white supremacist, you would
probably know that, and you probably aren't hanging around with
a white supremacist. So again, I've that first student that
(26:18):
the first one was on MBC, you know, and I
got to look at anything that comes on the on
the legacy networks as being suspect. All right, listen is
Easter weekend. Hope you have a chance to spend time
with family and friends and enjoy your weekend. I will
see you Monday morning, bright nearly five am on news
radio seven forty KTRH. We are back here at four
Monday afternoon on a nine fifty kprc
Well, what we need is more common sense.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Common.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Breaking down the world's nonsense about how American's common sense will.
Speaker 4 (00:14):
See us through with the common sense of Houston. I'm
just pro common sense for Houston. From Houston. This is
the Jimmy Barrett Show, brought to you by viewind dot Com.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Now here's Jimmy Barrett.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
All right, today is good Friday. I know that some
of you probably are church services this afternoon. Of course
you're you're not listening to me, are you?
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Church?
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Please don't do that. I don't want to get in
trouble with whoever your pastor is. Anyway, if you're listening
right now, Happy Easter, Happy Passover, if you happen to
be Jewish, whatever the case may be. It's gonna be
interesting to see how Easter is at the White House
this year. I think it's gonna be a whole different deal.
For one thing, we will not have a bunny guarding
(01:01):
the President this year. I'm pretty sure if there's an
Easter Bunny, somebody in an Easter bunny costume at at
the White House for their Easter egg role, whenever they
do that, I'm pretty sure that person's job is not
going to be to follow Trump around and to keep
him from falling down or embarrassing self by answering questions
that he shouldn't be answering that I feel pretty certain
(01:22):
about now. We got a little discussion this morning about
Easter baskets when we were kids. And you know, the
thing about being an adult is, you know, as you
look back, everything seems like it was bigger and better
when you were young, and the reality is a lot
of it has to do with just your size. You know,
(01:43):
I could help, but think about that. You know, when
I was a kid, you know, I grew up just
outside of Detroit, and I grew up a Detroit Tigers fan,
and my dad would take me to baseball games at
Tiger Stadium when I was a kid. That was a
fairly routine for us to do. I father something that
we would do, And I remember walking into Tiger's State
and thinking, Wow, this place is so big. And I'm guessing,
(02:06):
if you have young kids and you've taken them to
taking them to see the Astros place, the same thing. Right,
You walk into the stadium as a child and the
stadium seems so big, But then you grow up as
an adult and you go back and you figure out
now it really wasn't that big. It just, you know,
it was just my perspective as a child. So maybe
(02:26):
it's the same thing with Easter baskets. I just I
just seemed to recall that when I was a kid
and we would get Easter baskets as kids, that it
seemed like the Easter baskets were big, and they didn't
just have candy in them, they had toys in them
and other things. Now, I don't think that we really
had much in the way of toys. If I know
my mother, she probably slipped a book or something in there.
(02:48):
She was always good for. She was always good for that.
All we wanted was the candy. I really don't need
a book, mom. Thanks anyway, you're taking up space that
could be filled with candy. But I remember as a kid,
I used to I used to love the chocolate bunny
because my mom would take the trouble to buy a
really good one. You know, when you were a kid,
do you remember some of those chocolate bunnies. They were
(03:08):
kind of waxy, you know, they didn't you know, the
chocolate just didn't seem like it was really great quality chocolate.
I imagine now I know, Lint, for example, makes a
chocolate bunny. I imagine that might be one of the
better ones, where it's really creamy chocolate, you know, Hershey's.
I haven't had a chocolate bunny in a long long time,
(03:30):
so I don't know. I do recall as a kid
making a judgment about whether this was going to be
a good Easter basket or bad Easter basket based on
that chocolate bunny. If you open up the chocolate bunny
and you took a bite and the chocolate bunny was hollow,
then everything else was suspect, you know, because because if
(03:51):
your parents were spending really a decent amount of money
on your Easter basket, then you had the real deal.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
You had.
Speaker 2 (03:58):
You had a solid chocolate bunny, none of this, you know,
none of this, you know, empty in the middle kind
of stuff. So you know, that was part of the judgment.
I'd like the chocolate bunny. I like the little milk
chocolate Easter eggs, not the ones, you know, not the
ones that had any kind of filling inside, just pure chocolate.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Small.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
You know, you could just put them in their mouth
and you could kind of suck on them all morning long.
You know, they take a while for you to enjoy it,
and it was. It was in your warm mouth and
it got nice and creamy and yum. That was good stuff.
So we're asking our listeners this morning on kat r
H what the favorite was the favorite thing they got
in their Easter basket. What do you recall is some
of the favorite things that you got when you were
(04:37):
a kid in your Easter basket.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
This is Jack in Connecticut.
Speaker 5 (04:41):
My favorite candy in the Easter basket was the big
chocolate Bunny. My least favorite candy was the peaks.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
Have a great day, good morning, and Happy Friday, Jimmy.
This is Jared from Parland. My favorite thing to get
in my Easter basket was jelly bellies. I'm a huge
jelly belly fan and kind of sou and all the
different flavors they had. My parents would try hard to
get me in different flavors or cool things that was
going on for Easters.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
So I appreciated those to see. When I was a kid,
we didn't know anything about jelly bellies. You know, my
childhood predated my very young childhood. When I was getting
Easter baskets pre dated Ronald Reagan. We didn't really We
didn't know about jelly bellies until Ronald Reagan came along.
And I don't think jelly bellies were outside of California
until Ronald Reagan came along. And then all of a sudden,
(05:30):
you know, everybody saw him meeting those things, and before
you know it, jelly Belly is like that, one of
the biggest candy companies in the entire country, and it's
it's a nationwide thing.
Speaker 7 (05:40):
The the.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
I don't even know where they came from or who
made them, but the jelly, you know, the jelly means
we got in our easter basket. That was my least
favorite thing. They weren't very good. They just weren't very good. Now,
when jelly Bullies came along, that changed the game. All right,
who else do we have?
Speaker 4 (05:59):
It?
Speaker 3 (05:59):
Like to tell me what the favorite thing in the
easter basket?
Speaker 8 (06:01):
Hey guys, it's Colleen from Montgomery. My favorite Easter candy
when I was a kid was the little chocolate nest
with coconut all in it and there were three little
jelly beans on top.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Oh yeah, loved them.
Speaker 8 (06:18):
Thanks, loved the show.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
I remember that. I remember that, and I love coconut,
so I'd eat the chocolate nest with the coconut. But
I'm pretty sure I either gave the jelly beans to
my sisters or just threw them all away. Now this
this listener has a kind of a unique Easter basket
story to tell. The second person on this on this
(06:39):
little talkback feature.
Speaker 9 (06:40):
Hey, Jimmy, this is Paul from Houston.
Speaker 10 (06:43):
Look, my favorite thing in the Easter basket was a
hard show chocolate funny.
Speaker 11 (06:48):
It's a big one and a chocolate glass on New
Thanks Jimmy Halvy Easter dude.
Speaker 8 (06:54):
Hey was that Jimmy?
Speaker 6 (06:56):
You hear?
Speaker 3 (06:56):
This is so Easter basket.
Speaker 7 (06:58):
Not for me, but we got for our girls one
year when they're uh last year of high school. We
got them poop is fired baskets.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Yes, they've got.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
Squatty potties, the little poop e Mody candies, a little
poop Emodi pillow.
Speaker 3 (07:13):
But yes, we called it their Easter basket.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Can say that, I hope.
Speaker 3 (07:18):
So anyways, you got edited edit it?
Speaker 2 (07:20):
We did. We did. Okay, Yeah, that's interesting. But with
a with a poop theme for the Easter basket that
I don't know, I would say that's sacriligious. But Easter
has nothing to do in reality with easter bunnies or
Easter basket. So I think we can completely separate those things, right,
all right, quick little break, It is good Friday. We'll
(07:41):
be back with Mortal Moment Jimmy Barrett Show. You're a Name,
nine fifty KPRC. Well, the first of this doubling down
(08:05):
on illegal immigration and criminal illegals in particular. Yes, they're
doubling down on this. I think it's safe to say
that it is official that the Democrat policy is as follows.
Anything that Donald Trump is against, we are for anything
Donald Trump is for. We are against. Just that simple,
(08:27):
Just that simple. So President Trump is deporting criminal, illegal aliens. Therefore,
Democrats feel the need to rescue said illegal immigrants because
this is going to endear them to the illegal immigrant population,
who theoretically can't vote anyway. This is going to appeal
(08:50):
to Hispanics in the United States US citizens who are
of Hispanic origin, because they want criminals running around. I
don't I'm trying to figure out how this makes any
logical sense. Forgive me for doing that. I have a
very bad habit of doing that. I have a very
(09:11):
bad habit of trying to make sense out of things
that just don't make any sense. But here's the thing
that's also changed. You know, it's one thing for a
Democrat senator from Maryland, a progressive left senator from Maryland,
to chase down to L. Salvador looking for photo ops
of him trying to get release for this prisoner who
(09:31):
turns out is indeed a gang member and is a
wife beater. On top of that, Yeah we have Yeah,
let's bring him back so he can beat up on
his wife some more. So he's down there doing that.
I guess he finally was allowed to meet with him.
There's this weird shot there, like sitting at a picnic
table outside, so I assume it's in the prison yard,
and there's like drinks there and I swear to god,
(09:53):
they're drinking margarita's. They can wait a minute. I thought
this prison was a hell hole. They're serving margaritas at
a maximum security for the worst and the worst at L. Salvador. Seriously,
I mean, he was a cherry on top, sold on
the rim. I'm pretty sure it was a margarita. Anyway,
(10:15):
what comes of that? Who knows nothing, I'm going to guess,
and I'm sure truth be told that this Senator probably
doesn't want the guy released anyway. He just wanted the
photo opportunity of him down there trying to secure the
release of this illegal alien that that was wrongfully deported
(10:35):
by Donald Trump. This man did not get his due process.
He was in the United States illegally. You know, if
he was going to be charged with domestic abuse, then yeah, okay,
if he was staying in the country, then the due
process would be for him to have his day in
(10:55):
court over the charges of domestic abuse. But there's no
need for a due day in court when you're here
illegally and everybody knows you're here illegally, and the president,
thanks to illegal aliens active it is. If he is
indeed a gang member, then hey, again, every right to
deport him as well. And he is not a citizen
in the United States. He's a citizen of val Salvador.
(11:17):
That he's back in his country. Fortune he needs to
if he wants due process, he can get due process
with his own countrymen with his own country. But now
you've got people like Hillary Clinton who's doubling down on
this whole illegal alien thing. They've decided they're going to
make this a cause. You know, the party leaders are
(11:39):
trying to make this a cause. Now, even James Carville,
who's been very critical of many of the things that
Democrats are doing. I've got him right here talking about,
you know, making this a cause for the Democrat Party
UH to reverse deportation of illegal aliens that they want
to make they want to make this a d number
(11:59):
one shoe for the Democrat Party. They somehow see this
as an opportunity to finally grab an issue against Donald
Trump that will get some traction. I don't think it
gets any attraction, but we'll see. By the way, In
addition to James Carville, we'll hear from a guy we
had on our morning show here the last week or two.
Terrell County Sheriff Thouteus Cleveland responds after we hear from
(12:22):
James Carville and what he would like to see the
Democrats do on the issue of illegal immigration and deportation.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
And I watch this, there's real wisdom in it, and
history has taught us at and first they came for him,
and then we're going to say no, right, Dad, we
got to keep fighting this. I think this is worthy
of being at the top agenda of things that we're
going to fight out's get this guy back, hope.
Speaker 10 (12:49):
And that's disheartening because again, I was a US for
arbitral agent. I'm a sure f on the border, heavily
engaged in border security. We don't have from my community.
We have a border security issue. But I can do
my job very compassionately. I go out, I apprehend people,
turn them over to the border patrol. They're treated very well,
and then they're sitting back to the country there there
they come from. But for for all these folks, for
(13:11):
the left to continually throw darts at, whether it's as
President Trump. Of course, the last four years, it was
our governor, Governor Abbott who was filling the gap of
the US government where they were falling short. So again
I'm one of those people that he's probably referring to.
But it couldn't be further from the truth. I do
my job, and I do it compassionately and fairly. It's
modern it's modern day slavery. They want low wate, unskilled
(13:34):
laborers to come to the country to do to do
their dirty work, to live in the shadows.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
That that's what it's about. Okay.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
So so in the mind of Sheriff Cleveland, he believes
that that that's the motivation. It's the cheap labor. It's
the cheap labor aspect. They I think it's more than
cheap labor. That may be a component that I do
agree that it really is modern day slavery. Yea, to
(14:00):
entice people to come into your country, force them to
live in the shadows, take advantage of them by paying
them less than normal wages in order to do jobs
that they should not be doing because they're here illegally
got and forcing them to live in the shadows. That
is that that is like modern day slavery. I would
agree with that analogy, but I think it's it's more
(14:22):
about again, I think it's always been about, you know,
building up the numbers of immigrants from other countries, regardless
of what you have to do to get them here,
and then figure out how you can get them the
ability to vote. I guess they haven't quite figured out
the ability to vote thing yet, but that doesn't mean
they're not working on it.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
All right.
Speaker 2 (14:42):
So President Trump got he's been continually asked by the
progressive media about illegal immigration and about criminals and deporting them.
He got asked about, you know, these Democrats going down
to El Salvador to see this Maryland guy. I shouldn't
call them Maryland, but the Salvadoran from that was living
(15:04):
in Maryland, the illegal So here's the president talking about that,
with some reaction at the other end from Greg Guttfeld.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
The criminals at the highest level murderers.
Speaker 11 (15:15):
Many of those people murdered more than one person, and
they're on the loose. And I was elected to get
rid of those criminals, to get him out of our country,
or to put them away, but to get him out
of our country. And I don't see how judges can
take that authority away from a president.
Speaker 12 (15:32):
How do you think Van Holland felt sitting on the plane,
you know, heading to Al Salvador.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
As the news comes out about.
Speaker 12 (15:39):
This father of the Year, It's like, wait, this illegal
immigrant has a history of violence, attacked his wife one
or two times.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Is it too late to turn around? Can we go?
Speaker 7 (15:51):
So?
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Can we do an emergency? I have a medical emergency.
Speaker 12 (15:54):
You should have faked the medical emergency and landed in Miami.
You know, usually constituents fall for this bs from politicians.
It's rare to see a politician fall for their own BS.
Don't hit your own stash. By the way, is it true,
coreyback Corey Booker is going.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
I don't as I understand that that trip is still on.
Speaker 12 (16:14):
My theory, it's because it's a captive audience. He's going
to a prison. They can't leave. When he starts yapping.
After ten minutes, they're going to be begging for the
lethal injection. But the Democrats keep egging each other on
to participate in actions that only damage their credibility and
their careers and their future.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
Remember it's the Dems.
Speaker 12 (16:34):
Who told people to take to the streets, get in
their faces, bring.
Speaker 4 (16:38):
The fight to the to the people, while.
Speaker 12 (16:42):
Also telling them that their enemy is a Nazi or
a Hitler. Van Holland took debate. Now I think he's
a dead fish. Who can take him seriously? After this,
you know you're chasing a wife beater, you know, like
it's a climax a love. Actually, this Maryland Dad is
yet another like day least special that they serve up
to the glible who are incapable of seeing telling truth
(17:06):
from fiction. This situation will stick with them. But do
you ever, I mean, think about people who aren't a politician, Like,
do you think anybody's going to hire a Colombian student
who tore down posters of hostages. So they were fed
a lot of propaganda and they're going to pay for it.
People vandalizing cars, people going to hire that guy.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
They're going to know his name.
Speaker 12 (17:24):
He was filmed, and now you got Van Holland, who
looks like a complete tool. This stuff sticks with you
when you fall for this crap.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
You know, it's funny because he started that by saying
because this was the day ahead of time, So Greg
Guffel didn't know when he did this that Van Holland
had stayed and he eventually did meet with him, so
he he didn't have enough sense mid flight to say,
oh my god, I got to turn around and go back,
what am I doing? The ones that are into this
(17:54):
are into a hook line and sinker. Oh by the way,
story we're going to have on Monday for you on
news radio seven and four KTRH. President Trump is looking
at paying illegals to self deport. How much I don't know,
but here's the check we're going to you know, here's
(18:15):
X amount of dollars you have to leave the thing
that you know that makes that make at least a
little bit of sense is. I wouldn't have said during
the Biden administration that a program like that would make
any sense, because these people, you'd pay them to leave,
and then they just turn right around and come back again. Right.
But now I'd like to think the border is secure
(18:35):
enough that if you actually pay them to self deport,
they'd actually be gone and not be able to get
back in. All right, quick little break. We are back
with boor in a moment having good Friday, Jimmy Baird
Show here on Name nine fifty KPRC. All Right, I'm
(19:06):
sure you're familiar with what happened at Florida State University
yesterday with the shooting on campus happened at the student union.
I'm not really familiar with the Florida State campus. Obviously,
I didn't go to school there. I haven't even been
to tell where's it Tallahassee. I think it is Tallahassee
(19:27):
because Florida's in Gainesville, right, Okay, anyway, I have not
been to the campus. I hear it's a beautiful campus.
It certainly looked like by what I saw on television.
You've got evidently a student, a current student, twenty year old,
who is responsible for the shooting. He killed two people.
He wounded six others before he was shot himself. His
(19:50):
wounds are not life threatening, so he will recover. He
is refusing to talk to police, so at least as
of right now, we have no idea of what what
the motivation is for what he did. We know that
he is a, as I said, a twenty year old
student who transferred from a community college or junior college
to Florida State, along with some other students who seem
(20:13):
to know him fairly well. Don't know what he was
taking or majoring in. I do know that evidently he's
worried about exams, saying he wasn't ready. Then again, if
you were to ask most college students if they weren't, hey,
you ready for finals, and the answer would probably be no.
But I'm gonna have to do the best I can.
(20:34):
So I don't know what his motivation is, and he's
not indicating what his motivation is.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
I do know.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
The thing that makes it kind of different is that
his mother is a sheriff's deputy and has also been
a school resource officer in a bit of irony, so
at least at some point in her career she's been
responsible for the safety of school children from things like this.
(21:01):
We also know that her son had did the shooting
used her old service firearm in order to do the shooting.
What we don't know is, first, well, there's been no
mention of a father, and I'm one of those people
still thinks that fathers are important, So it'd be nice
to know, if you know, what sort of male influence,
if any, this kid had in his life. So there's
(21:24):
a lot of things we still don't know about it,
but we do know that we've been getting reaction from
the students at Florida State though, especially ones that evidently
knew him, and there's some, you know, strange differences between
what some of these students are saying. I'll start with
the strangest one first. There's here's a student who knew
him from junior college who basically says that he was
(21:45):
part of a political group and they had to kick
him out.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
The shooter is suspected.
Speaker 13 (21:50):
Shooter has been identified by police as an FSU student.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
By the name of Phoenix Eichner. I know it's a
big school. Did you happen to know him?
Speaker 5 (21:58):
So?
Speaker 1 (21:58):
I actually I spent my first two years at Tallahassee
now called step Tallahassee State College, but we called it TCC,
and I was the president of a political talk group
called the Political Roundtable, and he joined the club when I.
Speaker 9 (22:12):
Was at TCC.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
We are basically our only rule was no Nazis coloqu
wheely speaking, and he espoused so much white supremacist rhetoric
and far right rhetoric as well, to the point where
we had to exercise that rule. I also know he
was a member of the TCC Turning Point Chapter and
(22:36):
since that, since TCC, I have seen him in passing
a couple of times. I was since today, I was
talking to a friend who had talked to him yesterday
or two days ago, pardon me, and he was talking
about how he wasn't ready for exams.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Okay, there's a not very for exam thing. Nope, I'm
going to take what this kid is saying with a
grand assault when he refers to him as a white supremacist,
because he starts the conversation, but we just don't allow
Nazis colloquially speaking.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
So you know, Nazi.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
When you hear the term Nazi or white supremacist, you
know the first thing that comes to mind, is Okay,
here is a kid who's probably progressive, far left indoctrinated.
You know this, he's he espoused far right views. He
may have just been like, he may have been maga conservative,
(23:29):
you know, which can make you stand out amongst other students.
I mean, the motive unless the motivation was political in nature,
and it sure doesn't strike me that it probably was.
Wet Again, we don't know his motivation. I'm going to
take with a grain of salt that he was a
quote unquote white supremacist or Nazi, because I know that
that's what people like to call Trump, people on the
far left like to call Trump and uh and and
(23:52):
probably that person might refer to me as somebody like
that because I'm a conservative. So I'll take that with
a grain of salt. I mean, can begin a cooperation here?
Is there any other group of students who knew this guy? Yeah,
turns out there are.
Speaker 9 (24:07):
Tell me your reaction when you learned that the when
you learned who the shooter was.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
I was floored. Honestly, I didn't.
Speaker 7 (24:16):
I didn't know what to think because you know, you
never think that anyone you know personally is capable of
doing something like this and so for us to hear
about it, it was it was completely shocking, and I
was deeply saddened to hear about what happened to us
here at FSU, and you know, you know, the FSU family,
(24:37):
And honestly, I feel sad.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
My prayers and.
Speaker 7 (24:41):
Condolences go out to all those involved, and I honestly
just I don't even know what to think. I'm I'm
still processing it personally, and I want.
Speaker 9 (24:52):
To ask you you personally knew him because you guys
were in the same program together.
Speaker 13 (24:57):
Yeah, so we went to the talle See Community College
then State College together before he had come here. This
was his first semester that I know of f s U,
And I mean, for the most part, he was like
an average day person.
Speaker 3 (25:12):
We got along well.
Speaker 13 (25:13):
I had a mutual.
Speaker 3 (25:15):
Friend with him, and we would all hang out.
Speaker 13 (25:17):
He's been to our place together a couple of times,
and what I mean, we've gone like roller skating and
all that together. So this whenever we were at home
