Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
Well, what we need is more common sense.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Breaking down the world's nonsense about.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
How American common sense.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Will see this 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 4 (00:31):
All right, Well it's a it's a better looking afternoon
today than it wasn't morning. Huh, Elvan, have you got
caught into any of that rain early earlier this morning
when I was coming in for our morning show on
Katie r H it was cats and dogs up there
around the woodlands. But at any rate, this should be
nice for the rest of the week. Welcome to our
Monday show. Let's start with a Harris County treasure. Her

(00:56):
name is doctor, doctor Carla Harris. Now, so clearly she's
an educated woman. Right, She's got a doctor in front
of her name, so she's an educated woman. But educated
doesn't mean that you're smart, I mean smart at your
own life. You might be book smart, but you're not
necessarily smart at living your own life. And she's got

(01:18):
some issues in her life, most notably having to do
with alcohol. She seems to like to drink. She seems
to like to drink a lot, and she seems to
make really bad decisions when she drinks a lot. Now,
I don't know that we knew any of this about
her before she became Harris County Treasurer, but we do
know that she has now been arrested officially three times

(01:41):
since becoming Harris County treasure three times twice for DWY,
the latest one being in Texas City over the weekend.
And then she got arrested for DWY before and was
part of a diversion program. We'll get into that in
just a bit. And then she in between the two dwy's,

(02:02):
she was arrested for burglarizing a vehicle. I don't know
what the story was on that. Evidently the grand jury
decided to to not indict her on that, so she
got off pretty easy on the first two. The first
two charges of the three won't be quite as easy
maybe this third time around, concerning that she blew like

(02:25):
four times the legal limit. But I give away too
much information. Let's lay it all out there for you
to hear first before we comment further. Here's the report
from our television partner KPRC two.

Speaker 5 (02:37):
KPRC two has learned she was arrested in Texas City.
Jail records shows she was given a three thousand dollars bond.
This marks doctor Wyatt's third arrest since taking office. Her
first was in December twenty twenty three, when Houston police
arrested her for DWI on Scott Street near Old Spanish Trail.
I obtained this police report through a public records request.

(02:57):
It states doctor Wyatt's breathalyzer results were between one point
three to sixty five and point three sixty seven, more
than four times the legal limit of point zero eight.
Harris County court records showed this case was dismissed after
doctor Wyatt completed a pre trial diversion program, a deal
which allows some first time in low level offenders to
avoid conviction once court ordered requirements are completed.

Speaker 6 (03:18):
The purpose for that is specifically so that if you
commit the same offense, or maybe even another offense in
the future, that they won't give you that program again.

Speaker 5 (03:29):
Joe Venus is a criminal defense attorney in Houston who
tells me it's likely she won't be offered the same
deal again.

Speaker 6 (03:35):
The likelihood that anybody gets a second pre trial diversion
on a dwi's pretty slim.

Speaker 5 (03:42):
Doctor Wyatt was also arrested last December charged with burglary.
This police report states doctor Wyatt tried to break into
someone's car outside a bar on Washington Avenue. A grand
jury did not return an indictment, and the case was
dropped last month. In February, the Harris County Commissioners unanimously
voted to strip the Treasurer's office of key duties. I've
requested bodycam footage from doctor Wyatt's previous to arrest, but

(04:05):
the City of Houston denied it both times. Tonight, I've
requested bodycam footage from doctor Wyatt's arrest in Texas City.
We also went to doctor Wyatt's house to get her
side of the story.

Speaker 7 (04:17):
No one answered the door, shocking.

Speaker 4 (04:20):
She's far enough not to answer the door at least. Okay,
let's take a look at this all right. So she
had a diversion program for her first DWI driving while
intoxicated diversion program. I'm not sure what they do. So
part of the diversion program. Is it like the diversion
program I got for a speeding ticket. Yeah, you could

(04:42):
if you've ever gotten the speeding ticket in Harris County.
It's the same kind of thing, at least on your
first defense that you know you go in. You have
to take you have to take this online class. You
have to pass an online class on safe driving, and
then if you do that, then you take you take
that test result down uh to the to the judge's office,

(05:08):
and then they know you pay the fine. Oh, you're
still paying the fine. You're still gonna pay two hundred
and some odd bucks for the speeding ticket. But but
now it won't be a part of your record. You
won't have a record as if being on the speeding ticket. Now,
if you speed again, I'm trying to remember if it's
within how many months it is within that If you
speed again then then you can't do the diversion program again.

(05:31):
But if enough time passes, then theoretically you could do
the diversion program again. Now, I don't think it's the
same way, at least I hope it's not. With the
e WI. It's one thing to be going like seventy
five and the sixty five and have you know the
place pull you over for going too fast. It's another
thing to be driving under the influence, especially when you're
blowing at three six five. Whoo, that's up there, man,

(05:55):
that is really up there. Now. I don't know what
we paid the Harris County treasure I suppose I could
look at up but I'd like to think that we
pay the Harris County Treasure enough money where you know,
if they've really had that much too much. First of all,
if you're going out and getting drunk all the time,
why don't you have a designated driver with you?

Speaker 7 (06:15):
Why do you?

Speaker 4 (06:15):
I mean, if you want to go out and get drunk,
that's that's on you. That's your business. But you know,
if driving under the influence, that's everybody's business. You just
you need to be smart enough to have somebody drive
you around if you like to drink, and clearly she
does because the other time, please note the other time

(06:36):
when she was accused of burglarizing a vehicle. He's outside
of a bar. She was probably drunk when she did that,
and lord knows why she did it, you know what.
Probably the reason why it ended up not going anywhere.
She wasn't really trying to steal something from an unknown victim.
She probably knew whose card was it was probably some

(06:59):
man that that you know, she had a some sort
of a relationship or bad relationship with or whatever, or
some sort of a woman that she got into a
verbal altercation, whether at the bar or something, and she
was doing something stupid probably what it was. I don't
think she was really trying to burglarize the car, per se.

(07:19):
But the third, the third, when you get to the third,
d WI, now you've been arrested. This is a third
arrest all having I would think, all having to do
with alcohol. At some point in time, you got to
say to yourself, maybe I need to either stop drinking
so much, or at least I need to change my
behavior around drinking. And the thing I think that really

(07:43):
pisses me off about the story is that you've got
Harris County, you know, the Commissioner's Court trying to strip
power away from the Harris County Treasure's Office because they
obviously have a problem with this woman. And instead of
instead of just saying, listen, we have a need to
get rid of her, they're trying to get rid of

(08:03):
almost trying to neoter. The office of the office doesn't
have any power. Why do we keep electing people? Is
this the best we have for wanting to be a
Harris County treasure or is this just the best Democrat
we have because they won't elect anybody else. All right,
quick little break back with more in a moment, Jimmy
Bart Show here on Am nine fifty KPRC. Here's an

(08:38):
incident that occurred over the weekend. You probably heard something
about it. I'm guessing you've probably heard something about it
occurred in Denver International Airport on the runway Frontier Airlines plane.
I was going to say ran over somebody who was
out on the runway, but that's not exactly what happened.

(09:01):
It would appear that what happened was is that somebody
decided they were going to commit suicide by jet, which
strikes me as a very unusual thing to do. Of
all the ways you could kill yourself, going out onto
an active runway and getting swallowed up in the jet

(09:24):
engine of a passenger plane on takeoff, that that strikes
me as kind of a very rare select way that
somebody would decide to kill themselves. And it's one thing
to put a bullet in your brain or to overdose
on pills, but there are some things that people do

(09:45):
that just kind of make you go, huh, I wonder
what the story with that was, you know, give you
an example. And I don't mean to be incredibly morbid,
although I guess this is kind of a morbid topic.
But my former one of my former attorneys, killed himself.

Speaker 7 (10:07):
Uh.

Speaker 4 (10:07):
He committed hary katti like a Japanese samurai. He took
a he took a kitchen knife and plunged it into
his own chest. I cannot even imagine. You know, if
if if you were ever to get to a point
where you just wanted out, wouldn't you think you would

(10:27):
go for the cleanest, not just the cleanest, but the
the the method that would not just cost less amount
of I would be thinking of other people, I guess
I would be thinking of anybody who had to clean
up after me. I would be thinking of anybody who
would find me. I would that would go into my

(10:50):
thinking as well. I mean I would probably I would
probably just take a crapload of pills or do something
like that. Not that I would ever consider killing myself,
but it's it's just interesting to me how people decide,
first of all, they're going to commit suicide, and how
they're gonna go about doing it, but the Harry Carry
attorney that was weird.

Speaker 7 (11:12):
So is this one? You know?

Speaker 4 (11:14):
First of all, you have to sneak onto the airport.
This is a secure area. How do you get into
this area? What would make you even think? I think
I'm gonna kill myself, And I think the way I'm
gonna do it is I'm gonna get run down by
a jet on the runway. Unless they have some server
of an airport tie in, which I haven't heard about yet,

(11:35):
unless they're an airline employee, or or there's some server
an airport tie in. I don't know why you would
pick that particular method to do it. Now, I will
say that if you get sucked into a jet engine,
that pretty much yo, that's pretty much instantaneous. But you're
leaving behind quite a mess, that's for sure. Not to

(11:55):
mention the fact that you're disabling a jet and you
are taking a chance of this of this plane, you know,
getting ready to lift off and potentially killing passengers on board,
unless that's your motivation, unless there's some sort of an
act of terrorism, which I haven't heard, that is it.

(12:15):
Just from everything I've heard, it sounds like it's a suicide. Situation.
But then again, I'm not an aviation expert. Here is
Kyle Bailey, He is an aviation expert. Here's his thoughts
on this whole thing.

Speaker 8 (12:26):
I even initially thought, could it possibly have been a
deer around the runway, But when you listen to the
pilot's conversation where they're trying to control you could actually,
you know, hear in his voice that he really was
disturbed by what happened. And you know, in my opinion,
it definitely is somebody got on that airport, probably wanted
to commit suicide, or you don't know, maybe they had

(12:48):
some type of psychological problems. This reminds me of probably
about ten years ago at Newark Airport, somebody wandered off
into Jersey Turnpike and hoped the fence and made their
way up one of the big active runways at Newark
Airport in the middle of the night. Kind of reminds
me of that, but unfortunately this ended with tragedy.

Speaker 9 (13:08):
Yeah, and about ten months ago, a guy got out
onto the runway at the Milan Airport in Italy, ran
under the belly of a plane and jumped into an
engine that was rotating and managed to kill himself. It's
it's not unlike that, except that in this case the
plane was hurtling down the runway ready for takeoff.

Speaker 6 (13:28):
That's right.

Speaker 8 (13:29):
And these airports have incredible security systems on the airport perimeter.
Just to give an example here at the three New
York area airports LaGuardia, Kennedy, and NewYork, they have a
multi million dollar security system that pretty much tracks anybody

(13:49):
in the perimeter anywhere near that fence with precise accuracy.
And it's mind boggling how this could could have even
happened at an airport like Denver. And plus it took
a couple of minutes to even you know, find out
the guy was actually on the airport property, So they
had a couple of minutes there. So why wasn't this

(14:11):
guy apprehended much quicker with you know what probably would
be a state of the security system on the airport.

Speaker 4 (14:18):
Well, that's where you have to think that it's somebody
who has some sort of an airport connection, somebody who
maybe an employee, somebody who has access to secure areas.
You know, because if you if you, I mean you
could have a job as a flight attendant, you could

(14:39):
have a job as a ground worker. You could have
a job as a baggage handler, you could have a
job as a gate agent, and all those things would
probably get you a pass that would give you the
kind of access you needed in order to be able
to get there. So that that would be the first
thing that I would suspect, because again, it just seems
like a really strange thing to do unless you have
some sort of an airport connection. All right, here's a

(15:02):
conversation from this morning. I think it's worth repeating because
I think we complain all the time. We're complaining in
our opening segment about our drunk Harris County Treasurer. Well
there's somebody worse than her, that's for sure, and that's
some of our Harris County judges. And they don't have
alcohol as an excuse for some of the things that
they do, and including one judge who is being investigated

(15:25):
because of basically being lenient on a person with a
child porn charge. I mean, we're not. It's one thing.
I get that there are some sorrows back judges out
there that want to go light on crime, but we
aren't even willing to protect the public from child pornography.

(15:47):
We're not even willing to do that. Here's my conversation
about it all with Jared Woodville. He's a Harris County attorney.
Somebody like this is doing a lot of damage.

Speaker 7 (15:55):
Jared.

Speaker 10 (15:56):
Well, you're exactly right, Jimmy, And this is one of
the most egregious suations I've seen a long time from
this democratic judge. I mean, to have four registered sex offenders,
people who had pled guilty for committing sexual crimes against children,
to prematurely end their probation, to share grand jury testimony
with the defense attorney, to be disrespectful to prosecutors in

(16:17):
their core.

Speaker 7 (16:17):
I mean, that's about as bad as you get. And
so it's time for this person to leave. But you're right.

Speaker 10 (16:22):
The question is what can the Judicial Conduct Commission do
to this person in the interim. Well, they can issue
public reprimands, as they've done here.

Speaker 7 (16:31):
They can't remove anyone.

Speaker 10 (16:33):
All they can actually do is make a recommendation that
the person be removed and then it would go to
a panel of seven appellate.

Speaker 7 (16:39):
Judges who could ultimately do that.

Speaker 10 (16:41):
But for all practical purposes, the most and the most
they can do is is issue a public warrant or
reprimand and that can be used to help defeat that
person the next election.

Speaker 4 (16:50):
Have we ever removed a Harris County judge before through
the fellow process.

Speaker 7 (16:56):
To my knowledge though, I mean, you know, when I
was party chairman, I did for about twelve years.

Speaker 10 (17:01):
We'd work hard to screen candidates who we thought would
be good and qualified judges because we give these folks
so much responsibility, the ability to take away a person's freedom.
And what I found in some instances is there were
people who were great and as practicing lawyers, and then
when they put on that black robe, they got the
black robe disease and it suddenly.

Speaker 7 (17:20):
Went to their shed and they were completely the person.

Speaker 10 (17:23):
Unfortunately, fortunately that was the exception to the rule. But
you know, we give these folks a lot of power
and really the only way you can take them out
is at the ballot box unless they commit a crime.

Speaker 4 (17:32):
Well, who is Melissa Morris? What you know, what are
her qualifications? How does she get this job to begin with?
How was she elected? Did we know who or what
she was before she was elected? Or is that another
one who's playing the role of a different person before
she got elected.

Speaker 10 (17:48):
Well, that's the great point obviously she's a Democrat, and
so from the Republican perspective, we knew that she was
a liberal.

Speaker 7 (17:56):
Democrat based on cases that she'd handled in the past.

Speaker 10 (17:58):
She didn't have a whole lot of experience, and so
this person came in in.

Speaker 7 (18:02):
One of those sweeps. And that's what happens on election cycles.

Speaker 10 (18:05):
I mean, so much that happens at the local level
is is a function of what's happening at the national
level at the macro level, and there are a lot
of judicial races on the ballot, and folks just don't
have time to educate themselves.

Speaker 7 (18:19):
On who all these folks are.

Speaker 10 (18:20):
And you can be looking at over fifty potential races
that you're voting on during an election cycle, and a
lot of times people get in we know nothing about
and end up being a disgrace. And then folks like
this get in there, and this is what happens.

Speaker 4 (18:32):
Was she opposed by a Republican candidate and the last
race or did she run unopposed?

Speaker 10 (18:38):
Well, that's a great question in this particular race. I
know over the past couple of cycles, we haven't filled
the ballot as a Republican.

Speaker 7 (18:44):
Party, and that's where we as a party have to.

Speaker 10 (18:47):
Make sure that we have candidates running in every single race,
because you know, you can't win if you don't have
someone there. And so this cycle the party has you know,
got canids for most races, but there's still something have
gone without challenging and so those are staying in the
Democratic hands.

Speaker 7 (19:03):
And over the past few cycles we've been able to
take some of the judicial seats back.

Speaker 10 (19:07):
At one point we had every single county wide judicial
race our seat was held by a Republican. And so
it's important that not only we recruit good candidates, that
we work to register voters in a hot Harrison County
summers and then.

Speaker 7 (19:20):
Work to turn them back out in November. If not,
we end up with judges like this.

Speaker 4 (19:24):
You know, we really can't complain about some of these
judges if they're running unopposed, right, we're part of the problem.
If we're not, if we are not putting in candidates
who can run against some of these Sorrows backed judges,
then then at that point it's not the voter's fault
as much as it is our fault. All right, quick

(19:45):
Glte break back with born a moment Jimmy bartschew here
running M nine to fifty KPRC. All right, there was
a UFO release on Friday. I don't know that it

(20:10):
was super exciting or not. A lot of it were
things that people had already seen. Some of were things
that maybe were new but weren't, you know, didn't really
rise to the level saying oh my god, that is
definitely a spaceship or whatever. So we had a release

(20:30):
of UFO information at least videos on Friday. Again, doesn't
strike me as a really really big deal. But I'm
not really the right person to ask about that. Maybe
we should ask a theoretical physicist. And I've seen this
guy before, and I apologize if you follow his career

(20:54):
and I'm, you know, butchering his name. But his name
is doctor Michio Kaku, a theoretical physicist. Here's what he
had to say about the latest release of the UFO
files by the Trump administration on Friday. Evidently he's not
particularly disappointed by it.

Speaker 11 (21:12):
I would put it out of ten because we're at
a turning point. For decades, we had to rely upon
eyewitness accounts of housewives, truck drivers, people with snicker and
laugh at them. Now we're talking about huge files that
are top secret that for the first time in modern history,
are being given to the American public. So I'd like

(21:33):
to congratulate President Trump for having the nerve to go
against recommendations by the FBI and the CIA to release
these files so that independent researchers scientists can go over
them and we can make up our own minds rather
than having the CIA make up our minds.

Speaker 12 (21:52):
And the CIA apparently is still flighting the full release.

Speaker 4 (21:56):
When you hear or see.

Speaker 12 (21:57):
About a UFO the good like that up down left
right at ninety ger angles so fast you can't even
believe it.

Speaker 4 (22:04):
What does that tell you?

Speaker 11 (22:06):
It tells me that the laws of satirical force should
crush the bones of the people inside the flying saucer.
So either there's basically an automated flying saucer so there
are no bones to crack as the thing goes zigzagging
left and right, or it represents a very high level
of intelligence to create something like that. So in other words,

(22:29):
way humans cannot get into a spaceship that goes zigzagging
like that. Only aliens can, but even their bones would break,
So it must be a very high level of automated
computer technology.

Speaker 12 (22:41):
And you're hearing these eyewitness reports from military officials, intelligence officials.
Three and a half feet four and a half feet,
small in stature, they can walk. Why does this seem
to be the common description of alien life.

Speaker 11 (23:01):
Well, we don't know until we have actual samples of this.
That is close encounters of the second kind, not just
visual hearsay, but real, authentic pound of flesh, the bodies,
the wreckage of the flying saucers, that's close encounters of
the second kind. That's what we need. And hopefully in
these documents we're going to find some evidence of that

(23:24):
recovered aircraft, of alien technology, the bodies, what have you.
Hopefully in this mountain of declassified documents will be more
than just I saw something last night, idea he maybe
it's Hey, we have the body, we can do autopsies,
we can look at the reverse engineer the engine that

(23:44):
would be the turning point, and I hope that these
files make that possible for the first time in history.

Speaker 12 (23:52):
There's reluctance to release everything because there's a competition between
the Russians and the Chinese. There's an indication there could
be a real fight for alternative energy sources that could
be tied into some.

Speaker 7 (24:05):
Of these missing scienceists.

Speaker 4 (24:07):
What do you see there?

Speaker 11 (24:09):
Well, I see the fact that countries get access to energy,
and that's what we do at Los Almos National Laboratories,
jet propulsion laboratories, look at sources of energy, fusion, fission,
maybe even antimatter, and perhaps that's the reason why these
scientists disappeared.

Speaker 4 (24:30):
Interesting. Huh okay, So is there a tie in between
the UFOs and alternate energy sources and missing scientists?

Speaker 7 (24:43):
Huh?

Speaker 4 (24:45):
Maybe maybe that's the thing that they have in common
with all this. Isn't that interesting? Well, that seems like
a good segue into more on energy because you may
have heard that they were talking about starting up the
Keystone Exit pipeline again. How long would it take to
get it back up completed in running? Is there anything

(25:08):
Democrats could do to stop it? Are we interested in
making that investment? If we are, why didn't we start
to sus Trump get into office? Could we get it
done before before the end of the Trump term? I
had Phil Flynn on, He's Priced Futures Group. He's an
old guy, he knows a lot about this stuff. So

(25:29):
here's my conversation for this morning with Phil Flynn about
energy and about starting up the Keystone XL pipeline again,
how long would it take them to complete it?

Speaker 3 (25:41):
Well, I'd rather go back in time and tell you
that if it wasn't blocked by the Biden administration, it
would have already been bringing oil back down to the
United States, right and it really is going to depend
them on today. It would be keeping gas prices down,
diesel prices down. So blocking it was just ridiculous. You know,

(26:02):
the interesting thing about this pipeline is some parts of
the pipeline are still in place. Other parts they ripped
out that they're going to have to put it in there.
But I think if there's an all hands on deck situation,
you're probably looking at about maybe maybe completion and ready
to rock in early twenty twenty seven. That's what I

(26:24):
would expect, But we could have total completion. They're going
to start I'm sorry, I'm going to start restart really
working out it in twenty twenty seven, but it should
be ready for late twenty seven, early twenty eight.

Speaker 7 (26:36):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (26:36):
Is there anything that Democrats could do to stop that?
If the Trump administration decides that that's what they want
to do. Is there anything Democrats could do to stop that.

Speaker 3 (26:44):
I guess they could hold hands and stand in front
of the pipeline people and.

Speaker 7 (26:47):
Stuff like that.

Speaker 3 (26:48):
But you know, this is the thing, right, the Keystone
pipeline was like a metaphor for the Biden and you know,
the green energy policies, that energy madness. And what's sad
about that is that there were plenty of studies done
that if you really get into it, by killing the

(27:09):
Keystone pipeline, we actually released more greenhouse gas emissions than
we would have without the building of the pipeline. You know,
in fact, the study showed that way by building this pipeline,
it's not going to add it significantly to greenhouse gas
emissions at all. And now because you killed the pipes pipeline,
that all that's coming from Canada's being moved by truck

(27:31):
and by rail, right, which adds to greenhouse gas emissions.
So this is the craziness. You know, when you think
about these green energy guys, they never think passed their
nose right look ahead, you know, And it's more dangerous
to move oil that way. So they're putting the environment
at risks in a lot of other ways. But don't

(27:51):
they feel good about themselves? They were able to kill
the pipeline. So they didn't really win anything for the environment,
but at least they you know, they felt better about themselves.

Speaker 4 (28:00):
They live in this world as you do. Well know,
Phil that in their little world, we don't need fossil fuels.
We can live without fossil fuels, and we just need
to make fossil fuels go away. So anything we can
do to make them go away is what we want
to do. But what they fail to consider is all
the other products aside from gasoline, that are made out

(28:20):
of patrolling.

Speaker 3 (28:22):
Yeah, it reminds me. I was covering something for Fox
News one time, and it was a protest about pipelines, right,
you know, kill all pipelines. And I went to them,
I go. They were in downtown Chicago. Do do you realize,
you know how many pipelines are running under the city
of Chicago. You're standing on the natural gas pipeline right now,
you know, And it's like it's absolute madness. It's like

(28:44):
they live in this free world. You know. Here they are.
They're wearing their crocs, and you know, they've got their
their iPhones with plastic covers, and their you know, their
workout suits, you know, and everything they're wearing is made
out of fossil fuels. It's like, well, your your fossil
fuels look really good on you this morning, you know.

Speaker 4 (29:02):
Because he's going through a description, I'm imagining what these
people look like as I saw. I saw a story
in Brightbard about somebody that got arrested. Twenty two year
old woman who got arrested, Texas woman who got arrested
for setting fire to the Republican headquarters in New Brothels,

(29:23):
you know, and she left the typical type. She left
a note by the way, f dj T Donald J. Trump,
and F it was F this and F that, and
she said she set it on fire. She broke a
window and then she threw a magazine in there that
she lit and said fire to it. And you know,

(29:45):
I saw her arrest photograph. She's got like a big
old what sky Mike would refer to as a booger ring,
you know, a big I mean like the kind of
was seeing a cartoon bowl. Those ring eyebrows pierced, you know,
things on her cheek. She looked like she gave herself
a really bad haircut.

Speaker 11 (30:04):
You know.

Speaker 4 (30:05):
Her her hair is kind of like a clown reddish
orange kind of a color, and she just just looks
like what you would expect a liberal activist to look like.
All right, quick little break back with our final segment
at just a moment, Jimmy Fair Show here on AM
nine fifty KPRC. Right, let's start with this for our

(30:38):
final segment today, and that is a little follow up
from a store we had on Friday's story is out
of Seattle. They have a socialist mayor in Seattle, which
I guess should not come as a surprise to anybody,
and she is against She's the one that came out
against the close caption the surveillance cameras that are operated

(31:00):
by the police department in Seattle where they caught they
caught a couple of you know, young hoodlums beating up
a old guy, an elderly guy, and that thing was
making the rounds and she didn't like that. And she
doesn't want the camp surveillance cameras because she thinks that it, uh,
you know, it's a privacy concern for our transgender community

(31:21):
and blah blah blah blah blah, all that kind of stuff.
And of course she's not really interested in finding crime anyway.
Most progressives aren't really interested in finding crime. If they were,
they would uh so uh, I guess she got asked
a couple of questions from the local television station and
she was dodging those anyway. Here is Greg Gutfield talking

(31:43):
about all this on the five people and people in
that community who are concerned that there's been rising gun
violence and that there should be more surveillance cameras and
that kind of thing that's obviously been an issue that
you weigh in on.

Speaker 7 (31:54):
Does that change it? Does that? Does that change your
perspective at all?

Speaker 12 (31:57):
On?

Speaker 13 (31:58):
Let's keep it. Yeah, let's get it on ant do
things to believe that CCTV cameras have an important role
to play in our public safety system, and we also
have to be very careful to make sure that our
data storage security sharing practices don't make that system vulnerable
to misuse and abuse.

Speaker 8 (32:17):
She seems like a real strong leader.

Speaker 4 (32:19):
Greg.

Speaker 14 (32:20):
Just watching it makes me want to ban all cameras
because she's so annoying. This reminds me, don't be fooled
by this. She doesn't like the cameras because it doesn't
support her ideology. Reminded me to have the left demanded
body cameras to keep police accountable. Now they argue that

(32:43):
bodycams don't work because it didn't deliver on the promise
of police brutality. Instead, it cleared cops. What do you
see on Instagram all the time? You see bodycam and
you know that without them the cops would have been
falsely accused the way they were.

Speaker 7 (32:58):
So often before.

Speaker 14 (33:00):
Now this footage ends up being used against defendants and
the left calls it kappa ganda, the thing that they love.
So what if cameras, these surveillance cameras instead caught instances
of racism and police brutality or hate crimes, then of
course they would love them.

Speaker 7 (33:21):
But that doesn't happen in reality.

Speaker 14 (33:23):
What happens is it catches thieves, theft, assaults, muggings, and murders,
footage of actual crimes that help prosecute suspects and get
them off the street, which is against what this activist
mayor believes in this restorative justice where prisons are bad
and having bail is offensive and oppressive because they can't

(33:44):
afford it, and the victims are just the eggs you
break in the omelet of eggs.

Speaker 4 (33:52):
So strong until he got to the end what happened
to Dan greg.

Speaker 3 (33:58):
No.

Speaker 4 (33:58):
I mean, they don't, they don't, They're not serious about
they He's absolutely right. They believe that any form of
justice is repressive and that we're picking on people just
to pick on people, you know, people that don't look
like us, you know, that's what that's what she's worried about. Evidently,

(34:20):
the people that don't look like us. Whoever those people
are who are committing crimes and can't afford they can't afford,
you know, to to put a bail. Therefore they should
not have to pay bail. But by the same token,
they don't have to commit crimes, do they? Where they
Who's forcing them to commit these crimes? Here's another aspect

(34:40):
of it. And and I maybe this will this will
tie into it as well. They were talking about this
on The Big Money Show. This is worth sharing with
you because I think all these blue states, blue cities,
have they have a lot of things in common, you know.
They they don't think that the justice is mis fair.

(35:01):
They don't think life is fair, which is I guess
why they support socialism and communism and the tenets of
those because they don't believe there's a way for oppressed
people to get ahead in this world. Capitalism doesn't work
for people who are oppressed. Well, sure seems to work
really well if you have athletic skills and you're oppressed. Yeah,

(35:23):
and there's a whole lot of professional football players and
basketball players and baseball players. They are doing a whole
lot better than you may as far as the money
that they make. But they just the leftists determined that
money is evil, and the more money you make, the
more evil you are. So they are trying to rapidly

(35:44):
try to find as many ways as they can to
take it away from you and to give it to
somebody else. Used to be to give it to poor people,
now it's to give it to themselves. Bernie Sanders doesn't
seem to have a problem with being a millionaire, AOC
doesn't seem to have a problem with her own wealth
at this point. They just have a problem with yours.
And the best way to help rid you of that

(36:05):
is to tax you. Whether it's if you're making x
amount of dollars per year or if you own a
beautiful home. Yep, but it's not enough to take the income.
We need to take away the rest of your wealth,
including your home. They were talking about this on The
Big Money Show. These states that want to put these
incredibly high taxes on second homes or homes that are
worth more than a million dollars or five million dollars

(36:29):
or whatever that figure is here, they are talking about it.

Speaker 1 (36:32):
More cities and states have decided that raising taxes on
the wealthy isn't enough. Now they want to go after
second homes. New York City wants a new tax on
high end second apartments, Rhode Island is rolling out the
Taylor Swift tax on homes over a million bucks, and
in places like San Diego they're talking about charging thousands
annually just for leaving a property vacant. Democrats think it's

(36:55):
a simple way to address budget shortfalls and housing shortages.
So instead of making it easier to build more homes,
they're going after people that already own them. Jonathan, your
property rights guys, So I would think you'd have a
lot of problem.

Speaker 15 (37:10):
I have a huge problem with Italy. This is wealth confiscation.

Speaker 7 (37:14):
End of story.

Speaker 15 (37:15):
That's what this is. I mean, this is one of
the central planks of the communist manifesto. They want money,
so they just go literally take it. Now, keep in
mind this is already being taxed this property. These properties
are already being taxed. They're already paying property tax on this.
So what's never discussed through all these usually less leading
governments is, though I don't know it's spending cuts at all,

(37:37):
just a little bit.

Speaker 4 (37:39):
No, they're not. They're not interested. They're not interested in
spending cuts. No way, no way, they're interested in spending cuts.
They're just interested. They're interested in more income, more income,
and in more basically, more control is what it's really
all about. Depending upon them for whatever money you're going
to get. All right, I have to leave it at

(37:59):
that for today. Thanks for listening. I do appreciate it.
We'll see you tomorrow morning, bright early at five am
over on news Radio seven forty ktr H. Hope to
have you back here at four on EM nine fifty
