Speaker 1 (00:02):
Well, what we need is more common sense, the youth
breaking down the world's nonsense about how American common sense will.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
See us through with the common sense of Houston. I'm
just pro common sense for Houston. From Houston Way dot com.
This is the Jimmy Barrett Show, brought to you by
viewind dot com.

Speaker 1 (00:29):
Now here's Jimmy Barrett.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
All right, let's let's let's start with the protest saying no, no, no, no, no,
Please do not protest our program. There's there's no need
for you to protest this show. We are like minded people.
I'm not gonna say anything that you're gonna want to protest.
Hopefully I'll be saying plenty of things that you'll nod
your head in an agreement with nothing. You have to
nod your head in agreement with everything. But we got
on the topic of protesting this morning because I saw

(00:53):
a bit on Gutfeld last night where they had the
opinion of a psycho therapist. You ever been to a psychotherapist?
I wonder what that's like. Psychotherapist who claims, and I
think he's probably onto something that the No King's protest
is following a pattern of the type of people who

(01:14):
go to the No King's protest. The vast majority of
them are women, Liberal women who are over the age
of forty and in many cases over the age of sixty,
who are not happy with their lives. And because they're
not happy with their lives, they go and congregate with
other liberal women who are also not happy with their lives,

(01:36):
and they do the No King's protest, And in some
ways that might actually make some sense when you think
about it. Anyway, here here's the Gutfeld panel last night
discussing this particular issue.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
No Kings was therapy, so kat.

Speaker 4 (01:53):
A psychotherapist named Jonathan Albert called the No King's protest
group therapy in this street, blending emotional catharsis with activism,
which isn't surprising when you learn that the typical attendee
was an educated white woman in her forties.

Speaker 1 (02:10):
The expert added that a lot of these.

Speaker 4 (02:11):
People aren't happy with their personal lives and they're projecting
their own anxiety and anger onto others.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
Does this make sense to you? Yeah?

Speaker 5 (02:20):
Yeah, I mean, go like, have fun. I feel like
a lot of times when I live in New York,
you see protests all the time, and sometimes you see
people just like kind of having a great time. Yeah,
I saw I watched a group of people on my
Instagram story as I was just like at home with
my kid over the weekend. I watched them go to
the No Kings protest during the day and then I

(02:42):
at night they went and saw an EDM show together. Yeah,
and I'm like, this was just like a hang It
was like a day and everybody had a good time.

Speaker 1 (02:50):
Yeah, I'm against that. Yeah, I know, y'are.

Speaker 4 (02:52):
Yeah, it is funny though, Katsis she's home with her kid.
That's kind of the issue, right that like a lot
of these people just don't have family, and this is
their family maybe.

Speaker 6 (03:03):
I mean they said the average person was in her forties.

Speaker 1 (03:06):
That seems young. Yeah, it does based on some of
the videos. They are pretty old.

Speaker 4 (03:10):
And then you have this correlation of a high level
of mental illness in that same group.

Speaker 6 (03:16):
I would have say, like, I definitely prefer this to
threatening ice agents or shooting people, which is you know,
so if you're gonna we have kind of pressure valves.
Pressure valves in democracies, and protesting is one of them.
Like if this is what they want to do with
their lives on a beautiful Saturday, I spent it with
my family and I watched football, and that was a

(03:36):
good day. If this is what they want to do,
it doesn't really bother me, but it is.

Speaker 1 (03:39):
I don't know.

Speaker 6 (03:40):
They seem to be doing this a lot. They're already
hyping a new one. There's gonna be a third one.
I just don't get what you appeal.

Speaker 5 (03:46):
What if all these people I get the appeal now,
they're all trying to get away from football. You're gonna
be at the next one too long, Saturday and Sunday, Monday, Thursday.
It's like, give me a break, how a certain point?

Speaker 7 (04:02):
How a certain point?

Speaker 2 (04:06):
You know what?

Speaker 1 (04:07):
I want to be with you. I want to be
one of those people who enjoys it.

Speaker 5 (04:10):
It's not fun to not enjoy it because it's on.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
In my house all day.

Speaker 5 (04:14):
I would much rather enjoy it, well, enjoy.

Speaker 1 (04:18):
It very well for a no King's rally right now.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
Maybe I had thought of that angle. Maybe they're they're
protesting football and Americans who incessantly watch football, of which
I would probably be one of those Americans. Luckily for me, though,
I'm married to a woman who loves football and sports
in general, so I'm good there all right. So but
to get back to the protesting thing, I was asking

(04:45):
our listeners this morning on kat rhed a weigh in
on this last thing you actually protested against what it
was and why you were protesting against it. And as
I mentioned when we first started hear this segment, you know,
the last actual protesting I went to was a tea
party protest, and it was all about taxes and government

(05:07):
and all that good stuff. That's the last thing I tended.
I didn't really attend there with a picket sign or
an attempt to protest, but I was there as a
as a guest speaker, so I guess I was part
of the rally certainly of getting people fired up for
this thing. So here's what some of our listeners say
about the last thing they protested and why they protested it.

Speaker 8 (05:28):
Dave on Lake Conroe, the last protest I went to
was a while back at the Houston Zoo, but it
was with Texas Parks and Wildlife. I was protesting not
putting any more grass carpt into Lake Conroe because they
eat all the grass up and there's no place for
our little fish to hide and grow up. And they
weren't paying any attention. They were just up here. They

(05:49):
looked like they were real sleep up there at.

Speaker 9 (05:51):
The table, missus Shannon Collin from Ingleton. The last thing
I protested was when Target allowed males to go into
semale restaurants. I haven't walked into a Target stance. And
just also, I am a female who doesn't care for chocolate.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
That was the other question that we did on chocolate.
I never got any of those tonight. I never did
because it is National Chocolate Day. Bye bye bye digress.
Let's let's get back to the protesting. Last thing you
protested and why you were protesting against or for it.

Speaker 9 (06:25):
Hey, Jimmy Barrett Rick from the East Side.

Speaker 10 (06:27):
I just heard what you said about the protests.

Speaker 9 (06:30):
My bed is the guys that are there too are
just looking to find someone that have a not one.
I stand with Jimmy.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
I used to be a Disney kid, but now I
boycott and protest everything Disney. And the best way that
I can is by keep watching South Park Pandaverse.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
Hey Jimmy, this is whyatt from Porter.

Speaker 11 (06:48):
I've never gone to a protest because I've got things
like financial responsibilities on a job. But I might consider
going to a protest just to protest stupid protest chance like,
hey hey ho ho, hey hey ho ho. Chant needs
to go anyway, That's.

Speaker 12 (07:06):
All I got, morning, Jimmy worst protest I was ever
involved with was back many years ago in Chicago Humboldt
Park that I was a Chicago police officer dealing with
the Anita Bryant anti gay rally and it wasn't pretty.

(07:30):
I stay away from protests since then.

Speaker 1 (07:32):
Take care, Yeah, I remember, I remember that story.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
Anita Bryant was, you know, very up up up with America,
but very anti gay.

Speaker 13 (07:44):
Ge g.

Speaker 3 (07:46):
Hers was a religious perspective. She she did not support
or care for the LGBTQ community, and obviously they didn't
support her care much for her. There was there's protesting
over her holding her rallies. Uh, and there's boycotts against
Orange Juice because at one time she was the spokesperson
for Florida Orange Juice. I remember all that, All right,
let's let's grab let's grab a couple more.

Speaker 13 (08:08):
The last protests I did was against NASCAR, having been
to a NASCAR race since they supposedly found that ue
in Bubba Wallace's.

Speaker 14 (08:19):
Cindy from Dayton boycott protest. The NFL and any goofy
left wing actor actress that doesn't realize they're just there
for entertainment. I don't need their political views.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
In other words, you haven't seen a movie in a long, long,
long time, right, Yeah, if you're going to protest actors,
then not, there's only a handful of actors you're going
to watch. All right, that's interesting. Here's here's what to
wrap this up. Here's what I see is the difference
between virtually all of us and all of them. We
are protesting by carrying a picket sign or taking time

(08:59):
away from our our family, our jobs, because we actually
have jobs, and we actually have families we want to
spend time with. What we do instead is we vote
with our pocketbook. We vote with our wallet. You know,
if you piss us off, then guess what, We're not
going to patronize you anymore, your cracker barrel. And you
know you want to you want to change things because

(09:20):
you're you know, want to be the one to do
the last woke thing to do. Well, if this is
easy to protest, we just don't go to cracker barrel anymore,
or target or anybody else who's participating in that kind
of stuff or you know, bud light. That's that's what
all those protests were about. And at the end of
the day, that's really kind of the protest that really counts,
the one with your pocketbook, because that's that's how these

(09:42):
companies all survive. That's how the NFL survives. If you
just stop going to games or you stop watching football,
the ratings go down, the attendance goes down, and if
they can figure out why that happened, then that gets
their attention. All right, quick little break back with more
in a moment, Jimmy Barrett Show here on AM nine
to fifty KPRC. I don't know if you are paying

(10:20):
attention to anything outside of Texas when it comes to elections.
I don't even know how many of us are paying
that much attention to Texas elections, although we will get
into it in our next segment, Andy conn from Crime Stoppers,
and along with it a little discussion here of if
there's no other reason for you and me to go vote,
it is the propositions. There's a lot of them on

(10:43):
the ballot, and one of them, Proposition three, is very
very important as it relates to judges and bail. So
we'll get into that with Andy Kahn in our next segment.
But I don't know if any of you are paying
any attention to these other races. I pay attention, I guess,
to the one in virgin a little bit, because I
used to live there, and I used to live and

(11:04):
work in Richmond, which is the capital of Virginia. So
we spent a lot of time on state politics, and
I knew I don't know them anymore because I've been
gone so long, but I knew a lot of the
players as it relates to politics, and I'm a little surprised.
Maybe I shouldn't be. Virginia was a very red state
when I first went there, and trust me, it's got

(11:27):
nothing to do with me that's turned into a blue state.
What has happened, though, is is that in the time
I first moved there back in two thousand and one,
it was a red state. By the time I had
left in twenty seventeen, it had turned into a blue state,
slowly but surely, and it is looking like it's going

(11:48):
to be a blue state after this election. The Democrat
gubernatorial candidate, even though there's been a lot of controversy
with the attorney general, Democrat attorney general. He may lose
his race, but it has not seemingly has not had
a huge impact on Spamburg. That's the Democratic candidate for governor.
And I don't know if that's because the Republican candidate

(12:10):
appears to be a little weak or what the issue is,
but it's not looking like there will be a Republican governor,
and it's kind of a toss up right now, I
think in the lieutenant governor race. Interestingly enough on that one,
just as the sideline. I guess the other thing that
makes me kind of interested in it is John Reid

(12:33):
took over for me on the morning show in Richmond
that I used to do when I moved here to Houston,
and up until about maybe about a year read about
a year ago, he continued in that role, but he
dropped out of doing that morning show in order to
run for a lieutenant governor. And last I heard, he's

(12:55):
at least five maybe six points behind. He's caught up some,
but I don't know if there's a real opportunity for
him to get elected or not. But anyway, I had
down the air this morning on Katirah. We had Jeff
crue aeron to talk about the big three elections. There's
the one in Virginia, which we're going to talk about
first and probably most of it will be about that.

(13:16):
There's also one in New Jersey, and then there's the
mayor's race, of course in New York City. Here's my
conversation with political commentator and analyst Jeff Krueer. Last I heard,
I think the governor's race was still a seven plus
point split between the Republican and the Democrat.

Speaker 10 (13:35):
You're right, Yeah, the Democrat leads by seven in Virginia,
which is amazing considering the scandal with the AG candidate
and the governor's pathetic performance in I mean the democrats
pathetic performance in the governor's debate where she wouldn't even
look at win some.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
Seers and wouldn't even address the issue. I mean, it
was just embarrassing.

Speaker 10 (13:59):
But you know, it is a Democrat state, and they
had an aberration last time where a Republican won Glenn Youngkin.
But there are a lot of federal employees that live
in Virginia, a lot of bureaucrats, a lot of Democrat
leaning voters, and it's a tough state for Republicans.

Speaker 3 (14:20):
Well, didn't used to be so tough for Republicans at Virginia.
I remember a time where it was a pretty reliably
red state. Despite the fact you have all those Northern
Virginia Democrats. What has gone wrong? There must be other
areas of the state where Democrats have been able to
catch up and surpass Republicans, because, like I said, it
wasn't always a blue state.

Speaker 10 (14:40):
No, you're right, I mean, it just has been trending
that way more and more toward Democrats as the bureaucracy
has grown and you've had many more federal employees move
into Virginia. And maybe you can fall the Republicans for not,
you know, doing a better job and and fielding candidates.

(15:01):
But they did a great job with Clenn Younkin and
they want so it shows you he can be done.
I mean, and I think he has been a good governor,
and I think when some Sears is a good lieutenant governor,
she's a great candidate. Unfortunately, they're behind right now. So
I do think the age is going to be a Republican.

(15:21):
I think this this horrible Democrat candidate who talked about
murdering the House speaker is not going to win.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
And I think the Republican will prevail there.

Speaker 10 (15:32):
But the question is what's going to happen in this
governor's race, and I think, unfortunately, the odds are that
this Democrat is still the odds on favor to win,
well spam Berger.

Speaker 3 (15:41):
Now the lieutenant governors race is interesting to me too
because John Reid, the guy who he took over for
me at WRVA in Richmond when I came here to Houston,
and then now he's not doing the morning show in Richmond,
name more because he ran for lieutenant governor.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
Does he have a prayer of winning at this point?
I'm hearing that he does.

Speaker 10 (15:58):
I mean, I'm hearing that that races also, you know,
within six seven points, and it's a possibility for you know,
the Republicans to pull that out.

Speaker 1 (16:09):
I mean, momentum matters.

Speaker 10 (16:11):
So much in politics as to which which candidate has
a momentum towards the end of the race, and sometimes
these last polls don't really reflect that, and you have
sort of a surge in one direction or another. And
I'll be interested to see, you know, as we get
a little bit closer, you know, how these polls are changing.
Because there has been a little bit of a movement

(16:32):
toward earl sears within the past few weeks. I mean,
a race that was maybe eleven points is now at seven.
And if that trend continues that I'm gonna feel better
for you know, the lieutenant governor candidate as well.

Speaker 3 (16:46):
On the Republican side, John won't to ask you about
New York City. I've already given up on New York City,
but quickly quickly ask you because I'm already at the time.
I want to quickly ask you about the race in
New Jersey the same time of a situation in the
Republican candidate. He's run before, he's come fairly close before,
he's fairly close now, but hasn't been able to get
over the hump. Will this be any different this election?

Speaker 10 (17:09):
I think that the problem's got a better chance of
winning a New Jersey because, as you say, you ran
four years ago, came very very close. The governor there
did not exactly set the world on fire, the Democrat governor.
So it's an environment where Republicans have in the past
elected a Republican. Remember Chris Christy was there their governor.

(17:29):
Trump did not lose a state by a huge amount
to Harris. So I think there's a chance that Sidarelli
could win in New Jersey.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
And again you have a.

Speaker 10 (17:40):
Democratic candidate's flawed and I don't think has run a
great race, and I think from every indication he has
run a very good race. So I think the Republican
chances in New Jersey are a little bit higher than Virginia.

Speaker 3 (17:54):
Okay, well, that's it's interesting analysis. Like I said, we
didn't bother to get into the mayor's race in New York.
You know, there's no there's no good answer there. I
think it's pretty obvious that they're gonna end up with
with a communist mayor. And again there's the part of
me that thinks, you know, this is exactly what you deserve,

(18:17):
New York, this is exactly why people are leaving. But
but I you know, New York has been a great city,
you know, certainly one of the most recognizable cities in
the entire United States, especially to the rest of the world.
And just and to just concede this and to think
it's actually going to go the way of socialist communists
is is just very very difficult for me to uh,

(18:40):
to comprehend. But it is what it is. It is
what it is. All right, quick, a little break back
with Mortar moment Jimmy Barrett show here on the AM
nine fifty KPRC. All right, early voting continues here in Texas. Mainly,

(19:12):
I think the main thing, the main driver of people
to the polls is these ballot proposals. There's something there
for homeowners, businesses, elderly and disabled homeowners, spouses of veterans,
homeowners who had their home destroyed in a fire, property
owners with border security infrastructure, people who sell animal feed,

(19:33):
personal business capital gains. I mean, the list goes on
and on and on and on, water infrastructure, Texas State
Technical College. I mean, just a whole slew of things.
So I thought maybe we'd go over a couple of
these and then look at one in depth. Maybe what
would be considered one of the more serious ones, which

(19:55):
would be Proposition three. But let's start with Proposition one.
Proposition one is the Texas State Technical College Funding the
Constitucial Amendment providing for the creation of the Permanent Technical
Institution Infrastructure Fund and the Available Workforce Education Fund to
support the capital needs of educational programs offered by the
Texas State Technical College System. The amendment would create an

(20:20):
endowment for the Texas State Technical College program. I'll let
you investigate that further if that interest you. Proposition two
Capital gains tax ban. It reads the Constitutional Amendment prohibiting
the imposition of a tax on the realized or unrealized
capital gains of an individual, family, estate, or trust. What

(20:44):
this would do is ban the state from taxing people
or businesses on profits or potential profits from capital assets
such as investments, real estate, valuable items, certain personal property.
Would also eliminate a franchise tax on business trust, which
would lead to the state losing a approximately one hundred
and fifty two thousand revenue per fiscal year. According to
the state Comptroller's office, it's an attempt to keep the

(21:08):
state out of your profits, whatever profits you may be making.
It's an attempt to keep the state out of that.
And the state should be out of that all right.
Before we get to some of the other propositions, So
let's do Proposition three. That's one I had Andy con
on my program, and I'll share some of that with
you here in just a second. But the ballad reads

(21:30):
the Constitutional Amendment requiring the denial of bail under certain circumstances.
The person's accused of certain offenses punishable as a felony.
Now that the way that reads is maybe just a
tad a tad bit confusing. So I had Andy Cohn
on the program today to talk about it and what

(21:51):
it really means. So let's get to Andy Cohn here.
I heard him looked there for just a second. Let
me try pushing that button again and get you Andy
k on In here to explain exactly, hang on, explain
exactly what this ballot proposal is all about. Andy, What
does that specifically mean, because that's kind of a generic
ballad language they're using.

Speaker 13 (22:14):
Yeah, well, Harris County is ground zero for Prop three
for obvious reasons. Let me give you a classic example.

Speaker 1 (22:23):
You might recall a camp.

Speaker 13 (22:27):
It was sexually assaulted and murdered by two defendants.

Speaker 1 (22:31):
When the two defendants.

Speaker 13 (22:32):
Were charged, the judge granted a bond, albeit a very
high bond, and there was public outrage goalore, and we
had to tell everybody guess what.

Speaker 1 (22:43):
The judge had no.

Speaker 13 (22:45):
Choice but to issue a bond. Prop three, very simplistically,
will give judges discretion not to grant bond to defendant's
charge with certain violent crimes when prosecute, make a motion
that the defendant is a public safety risk, a flight

(23:06):
not to reappear, and or as a threat to public
safety and or the victim.

Speaker 1 (23:12):
It's really that simple.

Speaker 13 (23:14):
It's giving discretion instead of allowing judges to have an
excuse by saying we don't have a choice, we have
to give a bond. Now, passing Prop three, you will
have a choice, all right?

Speaker 3 (23:28):
Is that the most common excuse that they get, by
the way, that they don't have a choice.

Speaker 13 (23:32):
Pretty much, Yeah, you know, pretty much. Hey, it's in
the constitution. We have to give a bond. The only
offense a judge cannot grant a bond to and that
is capital murder, and that's only when the state is
seeking the deafinitely. So we've added about six violent offenses
that will allow judicial discretion. And that's really I think,

(23:57):
I truly believe this is a win win for everybody
passing Prop three. And I can go case after case
and case telling you why it's needed. But Harris County,
what is the impetus forgetting the ballot language? And I'm
hoping that Texas voters will agree with us, because the
bottom line is they're the ones who were going to

(24:18):
make the decision whether judges should have description.

Speaker 1 (24:21):
So true, how did how is the ballot proposal? Warder?

Speaker 3 (24:25):
Do you have any idea? Is it one of those
things both know for yes or yes for no? Or
is it pretty straight up?

Speaker 13 (24:30):
Pretty much you've got two choices, either you're born or
against it. And you know some of the opposition it's
kind of interesting. They're like, oh, it's going to fill
up the jails, and I'm like, it's not going to
be a fantasy.

Speaker 1 (24:43):
Let's be real right here.

Speaker 13 (24:44):
This is only for offenders that are charged with the
most egregious offenses, and only when the state ie prosecutors
are of the perspective that this particular defendant is a public.

Speaker 1 (24:59):
SA deep risk. Seems very simple. I'll tell you what
this head.

Speaker 13 (25:05):
I mean. You want to talk about bipartisan support. This
had bipartisan support in both the House and the Senate
by an overwhelming maturity.

Speaker 3 (25:16):
I think anything that takes excuses away from a judge
for being lenient on criminals who present a public safety
issue is a good thing. Do I think that this
necessarily will keep judges from providing a cash baill to

(25:37):
people who shouldn't have a cash baill not. There's still
the real the real answer here is to get rid
of these super lenient judges at the end of the day,
because there's still ways they can work around this. But
this is this is one more quiver in the uh
in the bow so to speak to to try to
help with this and fight it. So, yes, I proposition three.
I think that's a that propositional on is the reason

(25:58):
to show up, all right? So where oh yeah, prop
And again, a lot of these things are things that
you probably go, I don't care about that. I don't
care about it, and that's fine. If you don't care
about it, don't vote on it. Just vote for the
ones that matter to you. Proposition for Water Infrastructure Funding
a constitutional amendment to dedicate a portion of the revenue
derived from state sales and use taxes to the Texas

(26:20):
Water Fund and to provide for the allocation and use
of that revenue. Means that Texas water supply facing numerous threats,
including an increasing demand for water due to rapid population growth,
billions and gallons leaking out of old infrastructure, and climate
change contributing to more droughts, well okay, whatever, and altering
precipitation patterns, So it put more money into a fund

(26:44):
to try to provide more water for the state, you know,
to meet the demand. So regardless how you feel about
climate change or drought, and we do have droughts not
necessarily related to climate change, we do have know parts
of our state that are very ered, especially the summer months,
then they would provide more money for that. I'll let

(27:05):
you decide if you believe that. That is, if water
supply is important. Let me think, can I live without water?

Speaker 13 (27:12):
No?

Speaker 3 (27:12):
Probably not. Proposition five tax exemption on animal feed. Well,
obviously this is an impact on ranchers, but the constitucial
amendment would authorize the legislature to exempt from ad valorium
taxation tangible personal property consisting of animal feed held by
the owner of the property for sale at retail. It
would allow the state lawmakers to extend tax exemptions on

(27:34):
animal feed to include when animal feed is held as
inventory to be sold. Again, you know, it's the ranching community,
but I think that ranchers probably need some help, and
if this helps encourage, by the way for them to
increase the animal supply by removing a tax on animal feed,
then I think I would Before that because the high

(27:55):
price of the steak you just bought has a lot
to do with us just not having enough cattle in
system right now. Proposition six is a securities tax ban.
Proposition number seven is a tax exemption for veterans spouses.
Would allow state lawmakers to get property tax breaks on

(28:16):
homes to the then unmarried or I should say unremarried
spouses of US veterans to the federal government determined diet
in connection to the service. In other words, you have
a veteran who died either serving the country or as
a result maybe years later of a wound or whatever
that was sustained while serving this country, that they could

(28:40):
get a property tax break on the home that they're
trying to remain in without a husband to help the support.
I would have to say, or wife. As far as
that goes, Plenty of females have served our US military.
Proposition eight is an inheritance tax ban. Oh yeah, both
favor that would prohibit the legislature from opposing death taxes
applicable to it descendants property or the transfer of our

(29:01):
state inheritance, legacy, succession or gift. What that's all about?
And several of these are for the future, make it
against the state constitution to levy things like an inheritance tax.
Doesn't help you with the federal government, but it certainly
would help you locally. We don't do that now, but

(29:21):
it means that we could never could, and sometimes, when
you're trying to protect yourself from politicians, never could is
something you need to try to accomplish. Proposition nine Inventory
and Equipment Tax Exemption Number ten is a tax exemption
for homes destroyed by fire. Number twelve changing the State
Judicial Conduct Commission. I'll let you get into the details

(29:44):
of that. I think I skipped over eleven eleven is
a school tax exemption for elderly or disabled homeowners. It
would allow the state to raise a homestead exemption, which
is a discount on school property taxes that lowers how
much of the homes value can be taxed to pay
for public school. Personally, I think when you get to
a certain age and you've been paying taxes your entire

(30:04):
life for schools and you haven't had a kid in
the schools for thirty years, that maybe maybe you should
just get a complete exemption from school property taxes. Anyway,
check them out for yourself. There's more you can read
about get out there and vote. I know it's not
a sexy election, but get out there and vote back
with more in a moment Jimmy Barrett show here on
a nine fifty k PRC.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
All right, here's an audio cut.

Speaker 3 (30:43):
I didn't get you on this morning show on KTRH,
and I was just balked down with so many other things.
But this is one of my favorite cuts. Not that
any of this will surprise you, or at least I
don't think aby will be surprised. We do be surprised
to learn that Gavin new just makes up crap about himself.

Speaker 1 (31:03):
I didn't think so. I didn't think you'd be surprised
by that. He was doing an.

Speaker 3 (31:07):
Interview where he made up his childhood. Yeah, he made
he made up his childhood like he was some sort
of a poor latch key kid struggling to survive and
hustling for money, and in reality he grew up a privileged,
rich child. So I mean this is like a one

(31:28):
to eighty from his real life. They were talking about
on the on Guttfeld's program, so I think it actually
was on the five when they did this. So here
is Gavin Newsom and of course of that interview where
he made the claim and then response actually is from
Gutfield Show last night. A response from Greg Guttfield about
the lies he told about his childhood and an interview
last week.

Speaker 4 (31:47):
Knewsom painted himself as a latchkey kid struggling to make
ends meet.

Speaker 7 (31:52):
It was also about paying the bills, man, and it
was just like hustling. And so I was out there
kind of raising off, turning on the TV started, you know,
just getting obsessed, you know, sitting there with the you know,
the wonderbread and.

Speaker 1 (32:08):
Five stacks of story. I'm not going in.

Speaker 15 (32:19):
He watched one episode of Good Times. It's a nice story,
except that it's about as flimsy as the drawstring on JB.

Speaker 1 (32:29):
Pritzker's mumu.

Speaker 4 (32:32):
Because while Gavin was hustler, he was featured in a
Children of the Rich article detailing his ties to billionaire
oil man Gordon Getty. His dad worked for the Getties
in the same Getty fortune bankroll. Gav's first business venture
a winery. This guy owned a wine shop at twenty

(32:54):
four years old, back when yours truly was still doing
nude modeling to pay for alcohol. Those pictures follow me
everywhere so the man didn't hustle for rent.

Speaker 1 (33:06):
He hustled the truth. It's like when.

Speaker 4 (33:08):
Hollywood celebs say they lived out of a car before
they made it. They don't tell you that the car
was a Mercedes Maybach and part was parked in front
of their parents' mansion in Malibu.

Speaker 1 (33:17):
He wasn't even one of those poor kids.

Speaker 4 (33:19):
Hell, poor kids don't have pet otters like Gavin.

Speaker 1 (33:24):
Gavin actually had a.

Speaker 15 (33:25):
Pet otter, which also means he had pet fish to
feed said otter.

Speaker 1 (33:33):
But he's lucky. He started from privilege.

Speaker 4 (33:35):
He never had a real job, and once he gained power,
he counts on Wikipedia editors to make him working class.
And then you count on nobody bothering to look it
all up, which is a bad strategy in this day
of groc and chat, GPT and a public who no
longer believes anything coming from the media. But the entire
party depends on ignorance as a survival mechanism, whether it's
White House renovations, Gav's fake.

Speaker 1 (33:57):
Origin story, Joe Biden's health cover up.

Speaker 4 (33:59):
Everything that DEM's deny can be exposed with something as
simple as a Google search. The days of our journalist
having to do a deep dive for three days to
find the truth. That's over. Hell, I can discover the
truth between sets on my thigh, master.

Speaker 1 (34:15):
Oh, how can you do that? Are his parents still alive?
By the way, I should look that Upkevin Newsom's parents?
Are they still alive? If so?

Speaker 3 (34:26):
I mean, how would you feel if you raised your
family and you provided them with a lot of very
nice things, and you took great care of them, and
your son decides to be a politician and tells a
story that he was raised as a latchkey kid who

(34:48):
had to raise himself and fight for his survival. I mean,
would you go to Turanko? What the hell are you
talking about? That's not how That's not how your childhood was. Oh,
I can only imagine the fury of my old man
if I were to do something like that, to tell

(35:09):
a whopper of a story about how I was raised
just to try to get people to vote for me.
Is anybody why? Why? Why does that? I mean I
understand that people have a tendency to root for the underdog,
but but does anybody think that Gavin Newsom is an underdog?
I mean, good lord, I mean, if you if you're good,

(35:33):
if you're willing to lie to people about your own childhood,
then the political lying is just easy stuff. I mean,
not not that all. I'm sure that at some point
in time in their lives, all politicians lie. Heck, at
some point in time in our lives, we all lie. Yeah,

(35:53):
i'd like to I'd like to think that I've been
truthful one hundred percent of the time, but I know
that's probably not true, you know, if I'm going to
be honest about it, I'm sure there, I'm sure there's
a few times I've told a whopper or two just
to you know, just to make people feel better. I mean,
I've told white lives before. We've all kind of done
that right where you're trying to spare somebody's feelings, so

(36:15):
you know, you you don't tell them the truth, or
sometimes sometimes you lie out of convenience. I think I
think the one lie that I told that my wife
is still upset up with me about is we were
going to a wedding and she was buying she wanted
to buy dress for the wedding, and she wanted me

(36:37):
to go with her because she actually respects my opinion
on how she looks in something and what flatters her
and what doesn't? And I just recall and this is
you know, she recalls it much more vividly obviously than
I do, because women always do. But I just recalled
that We've been shopping for hours. I was tired, I
was hungry. I didn't want to show anymore. She was

(37:02):
just completely uncertain. She tried, she finally tried this one
dress on, and I could tell she kind of liked it,
but she was looking for that affirming opinion for me,
and I told her I thought she looked very good
in that. No, this is good, that you should get
this dress. This is a great dress. Now, half of
it is because I thought, actually thought it was a
great dress. The other half was I just wanted to
get the hell out of there. Can we stop shopping

(37:23):
for dresses? And she later, you know, put the dress
off for the wedding, and she looked in the mirror
and she said, I don't look good in this. And
she ended up having to wear it because she didn't
have anything else to wear. And you know, she was
angry with me, why did you tell me I look
good in this? I don't look good in this? And

(37:43):
of course my my response was, well, if you didn't
think you look good in it, then why do you
let me talk you into GETT again? You know it's
not just me, right, but anyway, I mean, those are
the guy lies I've told, and all men have told
at some point or another, not reimagining our childhood for
let to go purposes. Hey, listen, y'all, have a great day.
We'll see you tomorrow morning, bright and early, starting at

(38:04):
five am over on news Radio seven forty k t
r H. Hope to have you back here at four
on AM nine fifty kt r C.
