Speaker 1 (00:02):
Well, what we need is more common sense.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Breaking down the world's nonsense.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
About how American common sense.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Will 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 Viewin
dot Com.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Now here's Jimmy Barrett. All right, let's let's get to
work here on this Wednesday. What should we talk about today? Oh,
today's National Nut Day. I should probably mention that, which
I thought I was a little bit brave this morning
for even bringing that up. What is your favorite nut?
(00:49):
Because there's so many possibilities you could get into. Now,
when I'm talking about nuts, I'm talking about like Cashew's, pistachios,
brazil nuts, pecans, that kind of stuff. Right, I'm not
talking about you know, crazy people like sky Mike, although
I'm sure you know that it depends on how we
use the term nuts. We use the term nuts for
a lot of things. You know, we use the term
(01:11):
for the actual physical nut. We use it for people
who are a little bit crazy or wacky. We also use
it in a vulgar way to describe a portion of
the male anatomy, which we don't want to do here obviously,
So there's a lot of uses for the term nuts,
but for practical purposes, Today, Wednesday, October twenty second, is
(01:34):
National Nut Day, as in cashwes and those kinds of nuts. So,
you know, like everything else, we have a national day.
Sometimes it makes me think, all right, First of all,
to me, it's nuts to have a National Nuts Day,
But it does start you thinking about things like how
often do you eat nuts? Are nuts good for you?
What nuts do you like? What nuts don't you like.
I used to only like cash shoes, but I found
(01:58):
as time has gone on, I can appreciate eat all
kind of nuts. I even like walnuts. I think that's
the one kind of nut that my wife doesn't like.
Elizabeth doesn't like walnuts, and to be honest, I don't
normally eat walnuts. In fact, maybe the reason why I
like walnuts is because you generally find them in sweets
like Browning's. For example, Brownies with walnuts are very very good,
(02:19):
also with pecans. What else has walnuts? Ice cream Sundays
with walnuts, crushed walnuts, that's good. Maybe that's there's a
little bit of bitterness in a walnut, but you don't
get any of the bitterness if you're eating it with
something sweet. So anyway, I was asking the question about
nuts today and here's how some of our listeners responded
(02:39):
on katrh this morning about their favorite nuts.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
They only conro Yeah, I'm nuts for my mom's old
homemade pecan pi.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
It's Mike from Humble being from Texas.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
My favorite nut, hands down is Jasmine Crockett and it's
not even close.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Good morning, Jimmy Barrett.
Speaker 6 (03:01):
This is jeff from Conroe.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
My favorite nut is mister sky Me too, fun nutty guy,
have a good day. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Have you ever had a cooler nut? It is small,
brown and juicy. Try and uncool a nut, it is large,
more juicio to try and putting that in a colder nut.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
That's pretty good. That's a good impression. What was that
actor's name, Jeffrey I want to say Jeffrey Holder or
Jeffrey hold him one of the two. Uh he was
from Trinidad. I remember that, uh, you know, big black
guy with that Caribbean accent that he had, you know,
doing those those seven of commercials. The uncoola man. Yeah,
(03:49):
so you're right, you think it nuts? You can kind
of think of that guy too, all right, anybody else.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Jemmy, I got two favorite kinds of nuts, chocolate covered almonds,
I you seeing the Worlds Finance chot and that cinnamon
glaze and roasted pecans that I found And that John
Cole dessert at Carabas. Those are just really divined.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Hey, Jimmy, good morning.
Speaker 7 (04:14):
It's Jason from San Antonio.
Speaker 8 (04:16):
Man.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
I'm a big fan of cashews.
Speaker 6 (04:18):
I haven't altered my mom's pecan pie recipe one Thanksgiving
and put cashews in it instead of pecans.
Speaker 9 (04:25):
It's really good.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
I like it a lot.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Ooh. I never thought of doing that at jew make
a you know, instead of making a pecan pie, make
a cashew pie. Although this seems very non Texan to
do that, right, I mean, after all, we have so
many pecans here that we grow, and pecan pie is
such a traditional thing. Do you like pecan pie? I
(04:48):
find that I have to be in the right mood
for pecan pie. The problem I have with is so sweet.
At least most of the people I know who make it,
they make it really really sweet, almost to the point
where I feel like my teeth hurt if I eat
too much of it. I'm not a big sugar fan,
I believe it or not, I've never I didn't get
(05:09):
this body by eating a lot of sugar. I got
this by doing other things. But yeah, it's just it's
really super sweet. But I do associate it with Thanksgiving.
My mom would always make a pecan pie and an
apple pie and a pumpkin pie. She'd always had three
pies for Thanksgiving. So we had obviously got a lot
(05:32):
of pies when we were kids, but pecan was always
one of them. And I just remember, even as a kid,
I would just, you know, get a really small slice
of the pecan pike because it was just too rich
for my taste. All Right, here's a story that I
can't believe that there's still working on this. I can't
believe that there's still investigating who is responsible, who was
(05:52):
responsible for the cocaine at the White House. How is
it possible that they don't know exactly where they came from?
Saw Miranda Devine, I'm Fox yesterday. Evidently she's part of
a special called cocaine at sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue. That's
the White House address. And here she is talking about
(06:12):
how the investigation to where that cocaine came from. Still continuing,
This is.
Speaker 8 (06:17):
Really a very interesting special that uncovers a whole lot
of new information about a kind of tawdry and curious
little episode in the Biden administration that came and went
without much notice. But it was this little baggy of
cocaine that was discovered just before the July full weekend
at a time when Hunter Biden was pretty much living
(06:38):
at the White House full time and the fire has
Matt Crewe had to come and they had to this
was all in public. They had to check it out,
and they found that it was cocaine, and then there
was what appeared to be a cover up by the
Secret Service. Over eleven days. They said, oh, well, you know,
we couldn't find fingerprints and there was no DNA evidence,
(07:00):
which didn't pass the sniff test, as Donald Trump.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Put it, and.
Speaker 8 (07:05):
Then you know, they destroyed the cocaine the evidence very quickly,
and they kept on telling us. Karine Jean Pierre would
stand up at the podium saying, oh, no, you know,
the First Family wasn't even there, which wasn't quite true either.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
So there's always been.
Speaker 8 (07:20):
Suspicion Hunter Biden has since denied that it was him.
He appeared on a podcast and says, oh, you know,
as if he would leave a baggie of cocaine in
a cubby hole where people keep their cell phones. But
that's the other mystery that this special finds that that
wasn't the first place where the cocaine was found.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
So it's very curious.
Speaker 8 (07:43):
And now we've got FBI director Dan cash Bettel and
Dan Bongino are looking into this mystery. So I think
we'll find something very interesting soon.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
I'm shocked that this could possibly be a mystery. How
could they not know, I mean the FBI and Secret Service?
How could they not know where that cocaine came from.
I think that you know, they're they're members of the
Secret Service that were sympathetic, let's put it that way,
(08:15):
to the Biden administration, who wouldn't rat that out that
information of who's responsible for that, although you know, you'd
like to logic would tell you that there's one person
who go who goes way to the top of the list,
And of course we've been saying that all along. I
think they just tried to hush it up and quiet
it up as quickly as possible. But clearly, this Department
(08:37):
of Justice under President Trump isn't going to just you know,
he isn't going to let that just go away. They're
gonna try to figure this one out. All right, Back
with Vare in a moment, Jimmy Bairtt show Here an
Am nine fifty KPRC all, I'd like to start our
(09:05):
second segment today with a local story. Actually I have
a couple of local stories, but this local story is
one that is really bothering me. And part of what
bothers me about it is not what I'm going to
say about it, obviously, but what is not being said
by other people reporting on it, most notably all of
the television stations. There needs to be a message that
(09:29):
goes along with this story. Did you hear about this
four year old boy here in Houston that shot himself
with a gun? Four years old, shot himself with a gun,
in the hospital, fighting for his life. Don't know if
he's going to recover. I haven't heard that much more
about especially today, having heard anything more about what his
(09:51):
condition is. Heaven forbid he should die, but that's a possibility.
As you can imagine, there are people who look at
this story and I well, you know what we'll play.
We're play a little game here I like to call
who's to blame, Who's to blame, and who's to blame
(10:11):
in This depends a lot on what your ideas are
regarding politics and what your ideas are on personal responsibility.
But we'll start with this. Let let I'll let the
folks at k h o U eleven tell you the
story of what's going on with this little boy. And
you can see where they're putting the emphasis on the story.
Speaker 10 (10:30):
The four year old boy is still in critical condition
tonight after somehow getting access to a gun and then
firing it to happen inside an apartment on Fuquay Street
in southeast Houston. Investigators say the gun belonged to his
mother's fiance, twenty six year old Nicholas Sepeta Keitania, a
convicted felon who's not allowed to have a firearm. Court
(10:51):
documents show the locked weapon was kept in a closet
and was not secured. Sepeta Keytania's record stretches back years,
including convictions for aggravated to sault, DWI and evating arrests.
Prosecutors are asking for a five hundred thousand dollars bond. Meanwhile,
today we heard from Harris County Precinct one Constable Alan Rosen,
(11:11):
who says, if you own a gun, you need to
take precautions.
Speaker 11 (11:15):
Our officers are actually driving around Houston Harris County with
gunlocks in the back of their cars. So anybody that
would like a gunlock for their house, we have them.
We give them away.
Speaker 10 (11:28):
Free, and so many law enforcement agencies have these gun
locks available free of charge.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Here's the one that Rosen gave us.
Speaker 10 (11:36):
He says his office will even mail you one. He
also recommends putting firearms in a safe, preferably one that
uses biometrics, using your fingerprint to unlock.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
It's so important.
Speaker 10 (11:47):
According to the research by the CDC, firearms are the
leading cause of death in children under the age of
eighteen in this country.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Okay, so clearly the emphasis for k H O U
eleven on this story is gun safety. You know that
the gun was not stored properly and that there should
have been a lock on the gun, and here's what
you need to do to prevent this kind of tragedy
(12:19):
from happening to you. That's the approach they're taking with
a story that is not the approach I would be
taking because people who have guns around their home who
are not supposed to have guns. Did you hear the
part twenty six year old fiance. I'll still call mom's boyfriend,
(12:40):
who is a convicted felon dw I conviction assault assault?
Who did he assault? Who was he convicted of assaulting?
Speaker 12 (12:54):
You know?
Speaker 4 (12:54):
So he's clearly you know, he's got a long track
record here. He's got a he's got a rap shee
as long as his arm, so he has a track
record here of how he's handled things in the past.
He's a convicted felon, but yet he has a weapon
which he's not supposed to have, So that in and
(13:16):
of itself is a major crime. A convicted fella with
a weapon. This is not a gun story from the
standpoint of preventing people from getting guns. He's not eligible
to have a gun. He didn't go out to the
gun store and purchase the gun. He got the gun
where most people like this get their guns from the streets.
(13:37):
And you will never, ever, ever be able to stop
that from happening. I'm sorry, Unless you want to talk
about weapon confiscation, unless you want to say, okay, we're
rounding up all the weapons, so something like this could
never happen again. But that's what the progressive left would
tell you, that is the answer to this is to
round up the weapons. And number two on the list
would be lecture people on gun safety. Let's start again
(14:02):
with the fact that we've got a convicted felon here
who's not afraid to have a gun. You know, there's
no cure for that. He has made a lot of
bad choices in life. But you know who's also made
a lot of bad choices in life. The mom. She's
got a four year old in the house, she's living
with a convicted felon who has a gun in the house.
(14:27):
What is her role in this other than making bad choices?
I mean, would any of us recommend if you were
to sit down with your daughter and say, honey, this
guy you're seeing. You know, he's a convicted felon and
he assaults people and he drives drunk, and it's just
(14:51):
a guess. But I'm thinking that he's probably not going
to be a doctor or a lawyer or even hold
down a steady job. So maybe this is not the
best choice for you. Maybe you should reconsider this has
anybody had that conversation with her? Is she had that
conversation with herself? Why does she have a four year
(15:12):
old living in a home with a convicted felon? What
she loves the guy? Are there not better people to
fall in love with? See, if I want to play
the game of who's to blame, I'm probably going to
have the exact opposite pecking list here then what you're
(15:34):
going to see on television. So who would have involved here?
We have the mom, we have the fiancee who's a
convicted felon, and we have the gun. Those are the
three participants in this, right, the paresson left, who probably
blamed the gun first, the convicted fella in second, and
(15:54):
mom and the kid are just innocent bystanders and all this.
I'm just the opposite. I would blame the mother first,
followed by the convicted fellow fiance and then the gun last.
The gun is not to blame for this. The gun
is not to blame for this. Oh, by the way,
(16:16):
where were these people when the kids playing? The four
year old's playing with the gun? Where are they? Who
is in charge of the four year old? He is
the four year old just messing around? Otherwhere elsewhere in
the apartment, and know he's paying attention to him. You know,
what's the story there? But I put mom number one,
(16:39):
and I'm sorry if that's judging somebody. I'm judging her,
and I'm judging her harshly. I'm judging her as somebody
that I don't believe is fit to be a parent.
I'm looking at this and I'm saying, if this child lives,
how do we get this child into a better situation
where he can have somebody supervising him who really cares
(17:00):
for him and wants to make sure that his best
interest are being taken care of. That's what I'm thinking.
So that's one story about a gun. This one is
more of a national story about the gun, but it's
again it's a who's to blame kind of story. They
had a near miss at Atlanta Hartsfield Airport with a
guy who was going to show up with a ar
(17:25):
style rifle in start shooting up the airport. Who's got
a long laundry list of mental health issues. Here is
the report on focks.
Speaker 9 (17:32):
Police say that the suspect was streaming on social media
making threats, saying he was on his way to go
shoot up the Atlanta Airport, and he was also armed
with an assault rifle. Well, as you mentioned, the family
then notified police, who were then on the lookout for
this man, and thankfully they grabbed him before anything could happen.
So this is police attaining forty nine year old Billy Cagele,
(17:57):
who they say is a convicted felon with mental health problem.
Speaker 7 (18:01):
He's a felon with a semi automatic weapon, and he's
gotten mental challenges, and he's approaching the world's busiest and
most efficient airport. When you have those combinations together, he
can turn out to be deadly.
Speaker 9 (18:13):
Police did not know that the suspect was already at
the airport by the time the family alerted them of
his threats. Video shows Kgle parking is truck in the
South Terminal drop off zone and making his way into
the terminal just minutes later, fortunately though with his gun
still in the truck. Now police say he was particularly
interested in the TSA security line and was hanging around
(18:36):
there before police recognize and detain him. And investigators then
found the AR fifteen with twenty seven rounds of AMMO
in Cagel's truck outside.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
I do believe that mister Kagele was headed back to
his truck to retrieve it, and I do believe he
was likely to use that weapon inside the crowded terminal
that he had just seen.
Speaker 9 (18:56):
Cagel is currently in the Clayton County Jail. A bond
has not yet been set, but he's now facing multiple charges,
including terroristic threats and possession of a firearm. Now, of course,
there are still a lot of questions as to how
this mentally ill fell in got his hands on that
powerful weapon, and that's all part of the investigation. But
(19:17):
bottom line, police believed that they prevented a potential horrific
event thanks to their quick work.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
No they didn't. I love the police, don't get me wrong.
I love the police. But that was by a sheer
stroke of luck. That guy was stopped, not because of
the quick thinking police. That guy was stopped because family
members actually did the right thing and warned the police
that this guy was coming and what this guy was
(19:44):
capable of doing. Now, maybe they should have warned them sooner.
This guy's a well known nut job. Why isn't he
in some sort of a mental institution? Another convicted fellow
with a gun? You can't keep these guns away from
the these people. There are plenty of places on the
street to buy them. There's no gun law on the
(20:05):
planet that protects us from this stuff. In this case,
the winner is the family members who did the right thing.
That's if the family members had not alerted police. We
be reporting on another mass shooting on our show today.
All right, quick break back with mort to Mom and
Jimmy Barrett AM nine fifty kprc.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Here's another bit of bate to happen, and we kind
of talked about it on the morning show today. We're
gonna talk a little bit more about it right now.
There are well north of three hundred and fifty Texas
teachers who are being investigated for making all sorts of
comments on the assassin, inappropriate comments on the assassination. Charlie
(21:00):
Kirk and these We had Steve Toth on our program
this morning on katih and the number reported three hundred
and fifty. He said that numbers well north of three
hundred and fifty. He didn't know the exact number, but
he knows that there are hundreds more that have been reported.
Many of them reported from fellow teachers who were absolutely
(21:21):
and sensed that their fellow teachers are saying these things.
You heard about the teacher in Chicago, right, the kindergarten teacher,
the one they have on tape, you know, holding her
fingers in the shape of a gun to her neck
and acting like she's pulling the trigger. She did that
in front of a Charlie Kirk supporter. Charlie Kirk supporter
was driving by and she did that, you know, to
(21:42):
mock the assassination of Charlie Kirk. This is a kindergarten teacher. Now,
granted it's Chicago, and you got to think that there's
plenty of educators in Chicago who think that way, but
it really is quite amazing. Now some of these teachers
are going to get fired or discipline for some of
the things that they are doing. If the Texas Education
(22:04):
Agency follows through and does what they're supposed to do,
then there will be repercussions for these Texas teachers who
are doing the same thing. The question becomes is where
does free speech begin and end when it comes to this.
I've always said that you are welcome to say virtually
anything you want. That's what the freedom of speech allows
(22:27):
you to do. But that does not mean that there
aren't recriminations for what you say and what you do.
You have the right to say it, but your boss
has the right if you represent his company, and if
his company is having to deal with it as a
result the repercussions of what you say, then your company
has a right to do something about it, including termination.
(22:51):
And most companies will tell you that you represent even
in your private life. If people know who you are
where you work, you represent our company, and if you
represent our company in a way that makes us look
really bad, we have the right to do something about it.
They're having this debate. Chris Cuomo, who anchors these Days
(23:11):
on Newstation, he was having this debate last night with
a couple of panelists on three different cases involving teachers
doing incendiary things and how these things should be Handled's
listen to that.
Speaker 5 (23:23):
But isn't it if they're saying it in the work environment.
What if you're not in the work environment when you
say it.
Speaker 12 (23:29):
The same testill applies. Actually, those are the exact facts
of the Supreme Court case and Pickering. There was a
teacher who sent a letter to the editor about some
issue involving the school. He did it as personal capacity
and there, the school said, does it disrupt the work environment?
If the answer is yes, then the school's rights outweigh
the teachers rise, and that instance you can be fired.
(23:49):
That is I think the relevant test here, and I
think that's what we're seeing exactly with these examples you
just laid out.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
Do you think, Adam, do you think they triped the
test too well?
Speaker 6 (23:57):
I think the kindergarten teacher who pantomiming being shot certainly
seems to have come awfully close to it. My recollection
of the facts there was at the school shut down
their website because they were getting some feedback, and I
don't think we have to be a mind reader to
anticipate that they probably did get some feedback. If the
school could show some set of facts that would lead
(24:19):
them to believe a disruption was imminent, then some reaction
from the school would be within the school's rights.
Speaker 5 (24:25):
What about the Georgia example.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
I feel the Georgia example is much tougher.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
Here we have somebody who said something that I think
we could probably agree was uncharitable and I think objectively
false to the extent she's characterizing Kirk's politics, but that
essentially means she was wrong she said something on the
internet and she was wrong. Well, finding somebody wrong on
the Internet by itself is not such a remarkable thing
(24:50):
that a school would shut down. I assure you that
if being wrong on the internet would shut down to school,
the schools would never operate.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
The third example, though, I think he tiptoed up to
the line, Chad, and he's not the only guy I've
heard say things like that. I don't want to say
any names because I don't want people that have violence
directed toward them, but saying the way to deal with
is is for you to get a gun. What does
that mean to you in terms of illegal analysis?
Speaker 12 (25:16):
To me, that only crosses the line of this person
should be fired. We're now in potentially criminal territory, right
if you are actively threatening federal agents, if you're actively
threatening the President, the Attorney General, ICE agents secretary know,
if you're encouraging other people to commit violence against them.
We're past whether you should lose your job or not,
(25:38):
and we're not talking about whether you should lose your liberty.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
Why would hey, Chris Pommell, why would you try to
protect somebody who's calling for the murder of ICE agents
or your physical attacks on politicians. Why would you want
to keep his name a secret so that other people
don't perpetrate violence on him. First of all, the right
doesn't do that. Generally speaking, we don't perpetate violence on
(26:03):
people who make these things. We just call them out
for doing it. But why would you protect somebody like that.
If violence is what they're advocating, then they're they're inviting
violence upon themselves. And if they're inviting violence upon themselves,
let them reap what they so. Let them reap the
repercussions of what it is they're saying. All right, listen,
(26:24):
y'all have a great day. Thank you for listening. I
do appreciate it. We will see you tomorrow morning, bright
and early, five am over our news radio seven forty KTRH.
We'll be back here at four on a nine fifty KPRC.
Well, what we need is more common sense.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Breaking down the world's nonsense.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
About how American common sense.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Will 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 Viewin
dot Com.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Now here's Jimmy Barrett. All right, let's let's get to
work here on this Wednesday. What should we talk about today? Oh,
today's National Nut Day. I should probably mention that, which
I thought I was a little bit brave this morning
for even bringing that up. What is your favorite nut?
(00:49):
Because there's so many possibilities you could get into. Now,
when I'm talking about nuts, I'm talking about like Cashew's, pistachios,
brazil nuts, pecans, that kind of stuff. Right, I'm not
talking about you know, crazy people like sky Mike, although
I'm sure you know that it depends on how we
use the term nuts. We use the term nuts for
a lot of things. You know, we use the term
(01:11):
for the actual physical nut. We use it for people
who are a little bit crazy or wacky. We also use
it in a vulgar way to describe a portion of
the male anatomy, which we don't want to do here obviously,
So there's a lot of uses for the term nuts,
but for practical purposes, Today, Wednesday, October twenty second, is
(01:34):
National Nut Day, as in cashwes and those kinds of nuts. So,
you know, like everything else, we have a national day.
Sometimes it makes me think, all right, First of all,
to me, it's nuts to have a National Nuts Day,
But it does start you thinking about things like how
often do you eat nuts? Are nuts good for you?
What nuts do you like? What nuts don't you like.
I used to only like cash shoes, but I found
(01:58):
as time has gone on, I can appreciate eat all
kind of nuts. I even like walnuts. I think that's
the one kind of nut that my wife doesn't like.
Elizabeth doesn't like walnuts, and to be honest, I don't
normally eat walnuts. In fact, maybe the reason why I
like walnuts is because you generally find them in sweets
like Browning's. For example, Brownies with walnuts are very very good,
(02:19):
also with pecans. What else has walnuts? Ice cream Sundays
with walnuts, crushed walnuts, that's good. Maybe that's there's a
little bit of bitterness in a walnut, but you don't
get any of the bitterness if you're eating it with
something sweet. So anyway, I was asking the question about
nuts today and here's how some of our listeners responded
(02:39):
on katrh this morning about their favorite nuts.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
They only conro Yeah, I'm nuts for my mom's old
homemade pecan pi.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Good morning.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
It's Mike from Humble being from Texas.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
My favorite nut, hands down is Jasmine Crockett and it's
not even close.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
Good morning, Jimmy Barrett.
Speaker 6 (03:01):
This is jeff from Conroe.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
My favorite nut is mister sky Me too, fun nutty guy,
have a good day. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
Have you ever had a cooler nut? It is small,
brown and juicy. Try and uncool a nut, it is large,
more juicio to try and putting that in a colder nut.
Speaker 4 (03:27):
That's pretty good. That's a good impression. What was that
actor's name, Jeffrey I want to say Jeffrey Holder or
Jeffrey hold him one of the two. Uh he was
from Trinidad. I remember that, uh, you know, big black
guy with that Caribbean accent that he had, you know,
doing those those seven of commercials. The uncoola man. Yeah,
(03:49):
so you're right, you think it nuts? You can kind
of think of that guy too, all right, anybody else.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Jemmy, I got two favorite kinds of nuts, chocolate covered almonds,
I you seeing the Worlds Finance chot and that cinnamon
glaze and roasted pecans that I found And that John
Cole dessert at Carabas. Those are just really divined.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Hey, Jimmy, good morning.
Speaker 7 (04:14):
It's Jason from San Antonio.
Speaker 8 (04:16):
Man.
Speaker 4 (04:17):
I'm a big fan of cashews.
Speaker 6 (04:18):
I haven't altered my mom's pecan pie recipe one Thanksgiving
and put cashews in it instead of pecans.
Speaker 9 (04:25):
It's really good.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
I like it a lot.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Ooh. I never thought of doing that at jew make
a you know, instead of making a pecan pie, make
a cashew pie. Although this seems very non Texan to
do that, right, I mean, after all, we have so
many pecans here that we grow, and pecan pie is
such a traditional thing. Do you like pecan pie? I
(04:48):
find that I have to be in the right mood
for pecan pie. The problem I have with is so sweet.
At least most of the people I know who make it,
they make it really really sweet, almost to the point
where I feel like my teeth hurt if I eat
too much of it. I'm not a big sugar fan,
I believe it or not, I've never I didn't get
(05:09):
this body by eating a lot of sugar. I got
this by doing other things. But yeah, it's just it's
really super sweet. But I do associate it with Thanksgiving.
My mom would always make a pecan pie and an
apple pie and a pumpkin pie. She'd always had three
pies for Thanksgiving. So we had obviously got a lot
(05:32):
of pies when we were kids, but pecan was always
one of them. And I just remember, even as a kid,
I would just, you know, get a really small slice
of the pecan pike because it was just too rich
for my taste. All Right, here's a story that I
can't believe that there's still working on this. I can't
believe that there's still investigating who is responsible, who was
(05:52):
responsible for the cocaine at the White House. How is
it possible that they don't know exactly where they came from?
Saw Miranda Devine, I'm Fox yesterday. Evidently she's part of
a special called cocaine at sixteen hundred Pennsylvania Avenue. That's
the White House address. And here she is talking about
(06:12):
how the investigation to where that cocaine came from. Still continuing,
This is.
Speaker 8 (06:17):
Really a very interesting special that uncovers a whole lot
of new information about a kind of tawdry and curious
little episode in the Biden administration that came and went
without much notice. But it was this little baggy of
cocaine that was discovered just before the July full weekend
at a time when Hunter Biden was pretty much living
(06:38):
at the White House full time and the fire has
Matt Crewe had to come and they had to this
was all in public. They had to check it out,
and they found that it was cocaine, and then there
was what appeared to be a cover up by the
Secret Service. Over eleven days. They said, oh, well, you know,
we couldn't find fingerprints and there was no DNA evidence,
(07:00):
which didn't pass the sniff test, as Donald Trump.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
Put it, and.
Speaker 8 (07:05):
Then you know, they destroyed the cocaine the evidence very quickly,
and they kept on telling us. Karine Jean Pierre would
stand up at the podium saying, oh, no, you know,
the First Family wasn't even there, which wasn't quite true either.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
So there's always been.
Speaker 8 (07:20):
Suspicion Hunter Biden has since denied that it was him.
He appeared on a podcast and says, oh, you know,
as if he would leave a baggie of cocaine in
a cubby hole where people keep their cell phones. But
that's the other mystery that this special finds that that
wasn't the first place where the cocaine was found.
Speaker 4 (07:41):
So it's very curious.
Speaker 8 (07:43):
And now we've got FBI director Dan cash Bettel and
Dan Bongino are looking into this mystery. So I think
we'll find something very interesting soon.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
I'm shocked that this could possibly be a mystery. How
could they not know, I mean the FBI and Secret Service?
How could they not know where that cocaine came from.
I think that you know, they're they're members of the
Secret Service that were sympathetic, let's put it that way,
(08:15):
to the Biden administration, who wouldn't rat that out that
information of who's responsible for that, although you know, you'd
like to logic would tell you that there's one person
who go who goes way to the top of the list,
And of course we've been saying that all along. I
think they just tried to hush it up and quiet
it up as quickly as possible. But clearly, this Department
(08:37):
of Justice under President Trump isn't going to just you know,
he isn't going to let that just go away. They're
gonna try to figure this one out. All right, Back
with Vare in a moment, Jimmy Bairtt show Here an
Am nine fifty KPRC all, I'd like to start our
(09:05):
second segment today with a local story. Actually I have
a couple of local stories, but this local story is
one that is really bothering me. And part of what
bothers me about it is not what I'm going to
say about it, obviously, but what is not being said
by other people reporting on it, most notably all of
the television stations. There needs to be a message that
(09:29):
goes along with this story. Did you hear about this
four year old boy here in Houston that shot himself
with a gun? Four years old, shot himself with a gun,
in the hospital, fighting for his life. Don't know if
he's going to recover. I haven't heard that much more
about especially today, having heard anything more about what his
(09:51):
condition is. Heaven forbid he should die, but that's a possibility.
As you can imagine, there are people who look at
this story and I well, you know what we'll play.
We're play a little game here I like to call
who's to blame, Who's to blame, and who's to blame
(10:11):
in This depends a lot on what your ideas are
regarding politics and what your ideas are on personal responsibility.
But we'll start with this. Let let I'll let the
folks at k h o U eleven tell you the
story of what's going on with this little boy. And
you can see where they're putting the emphasis on the story.
Speaker 10 (10:30):
The four year old boy is still in critical condition
tonight after somehow getting access to a gun and then
firing it to happen inside an apartment on Fuquay Street
in southeast Houston. Investigators say the gun belonged to his
mother's fiance, twenty six year old Nicholas Sepeta Keitania, a
convicted felon who's not allowed to have a firearm. Court
(10:51):
documents show the locked weapon was kept in a closet
and was not secured. Sepeta Keytania's record stretches back years,
including convictions for aggravated to sault, DWI and evating arrests.
Prosecutors are asking for a five hundred thousand dollars bond. Meanwhile,
today we heard from Harris County Precinct one Constable Alan Rosen,
(11:11):
who says, if you own a gun, you need to
take precautions.
Speaker 11 (11:15):
Our officers are actually driving around Houston Harris County with
gunlocks in the back of their cars. So anybody that
would like a gunlock for their house, we have them.
We give them away.
Speaker 10 (11:28):
Free, and so many law enforcement agencies have these gun
locks available free of charge.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
Here's the one that Rosen gave us.
Speaker 10 (11:36):
He says his office will even mail you one. He
also recommends putting firearms in a safe, preferably one that
uses biometrics, using your fingerprint to unlock.
Speaker 4 (11:46):
It's so important.
Speaker 10 (11:47):
According to the research by the CDC, firearms are the
leading cause of death in children under the age of
eighteen in this country.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Okay, so clearly the emphasis for k H O U
eleven on this story is gun safety. You know that
the gun was not stored properly and that there should
have been a lock on the gun, and here's what
you need to do to prevent this kind of tragedy
(12:19):
from happening to you. That's the approach they're taking with
a story that is not the approach I would be
taking because people who have guns around their home who
are not supposed to have guns. Did you hear the
part twenty six year old fiance. I'll still call mom's boyfriend,
(12:40):
who is a convicted felon dw I conviction assault assault?
Who did he assault? Who was he convicted of assaulting?
Speaker 12 (12:54):
You know?
Speaker 4 (12:54):
So he's clearly you know, he's got a long track
record here. He's got a he's got a rap shee
as long as his arm, so he has a track
record here of how he's handled things in the past.
He's a convicted felon, but yet he has a weapon
which he's not supposed to have, So that in and
(13:16):
of itself is a major crime. A convicted fella with
a weapon. This is not a gun story from the
standpoint of preventing people from getting guns. He's not eligible
to have a gun. He didn't go out to the
gun store and purchase the gun. He got the gun
where most people like this get their guns from the streets.
(13:37):
And you will never, ever, ever be able to stop
that from happening. I'm sorry, Unless you want to talk
about weapon confiscation, unless you want to say, okay, we're
rounding up all the weapons, so something like this could
never happen again. But that's what the progressive left would
tell you, that is the answer to this is to
round up the weapons. And number two on the list
would be lecture people on gun safety. Let's start again
(14:02):
with the fact that we've got a convicted felon here
who's not afraid to have a gun. You know, there's
no cure for that. He has made a lot of
bad choices in life. But you know who's also made
a lot of bad choices in life. The mom. She's
got a four year old in the house, she's living
with a convicted felon who has a gun in the house.
(14:27):
What is her role in this other than making bad choices?
I mean, would any of us recommend if you were
to sit down with your daughter and say, honey, this
guy you're seeing. You know, he's a convicted felon and
he assaults people and he drives drunk, and it's just
(14:51):
a guess. But I'm thinking that he's probably not going
to be a doctor or a lawyer or even hold
down a steady job. So maybe this is not the
best choice for you. Maybe you should reconsider this has
anybody had that conversation with her? Is she had that
conversation with herself? Why does she have a four year
(15:12):
old living in a home with a convicted felon? What
she loves the guy? Are there not better people to
fall in love with? See, if I want to play
the game of who's to blame, I'm probably going to
have the exact opposite pecking list here then what you're
(15:34):
going to see on television. So who would have involved here?
We have the mom, we have the fiancee who's a
convicted felon, and we have the gun. Those are the
three participants in this, right, the paresson left, who probably
blamed the gun first, the convicted fella in second, and
(15:54):
mom and the kid are just innocent bystanders and all this.
I'm just the opposite. I would blame the mother first,
followed by the convicted fellow fiance and then the gun last.
The gun is not to blame for this. The gun
is not to blame for this. Oh, by the way,
(16:16):
where were these people when the kids playing? The four
year old's playing with the gun? Where are they? Who
is in charge of the four year old? He is
the four year old just messing around? Otherwhere elsewhere in
the apartment, and know he's paying attention to him. You know,
what's the story there? But I put mom number one,
(16:39):
and I'm sorry if that's judging somebody. I'm judging her,
and I'm judging her harshly. I'm judging her as somebody
that I don't believe is fit to be a parent.
I'm looking at this and I'm saying, if this child lives,
how do we get this child into a better situation
where he can have somebody supervising him who really cares
(17:00):
for him and wants to make sure that his best
interest are being taken care of. That's what I'm thinking.
So that's one story about a gun. This one is
more of a national story about the gun, but it's
again it's a who's to blame kind of story. They
had a near miss at Atlanta Hartsfield Airport with a
guy who was going to show up with a ar
(17:25):
style rifle in start shooting up the airport. Who's got
a long laundry list of mental health issues. Here is
the report on focks.
Speaker 9 (17:32):
Police say that the suspect was streaming on social media
making threats, saying he was on his way to go
shoot up the Atlanta Airport, and he was also armed
with an assault rifle. Well, as you mentioned, the family
then notified police, who were then on the lookout for
this man, and thankfully they grabbed him before anything could happen.
So this is police attaining forty nine year old Billy Cagele,
(17:57):
who they say is a convicted felon with mental health problem.
Speaker 7 (18:01):
He's a felon with a semi automatic weapon, and he's
gotten mental challenges, and he's approaching the world's busiest and
most efficient airport. When you have those combinations together, he
can turn out to be deadly.
Speaker 9 (18:13):
Police did not know that the suspect was already at
the airport by the time the family alerted them of
his threats. Video shows Kgle parking is truck in the
South Terminal drop off zone and making his way into
the terminal just minutes later, fortunately though with his gun
still in the truck. Now police say he was particularly
interested in the TSA security line and was hanging around
(18:36):
there before police recognize and detain him. And investigators then
found the AR fifteen with twenty seven rounds of AMMO
in Cagel's truck outside.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
I do believe that mister Kagele was headed back to
his truck to retrieve it, and I do believe he
was likely to use that weapon inside the crowded terminal
that he had just seen.
Speaker 9 (18:56):
Cagel is currently in the Clayton County Jail. A bond
has not yet been set, but he's now facing multiple charges,
including terroristic threats and possession of a firearm. Now, of course,
there are still a lot of questions as to how
this mentally ill fell in got his hands on that
powerful weapon, and that's all part of the investigation. But
(19:17):
bottom line, police believed that they prevented a potential horrific
event thanks to their quick work.
Speaker 4 (19:24):
No they didn't. I love the police, don't get me wrong.
I love the police. But that was by a sheer
stroke of luck. That guy was stopped, not because of
the quick thinking police. That guy was stopped because family
members actually did the right thing and warned the police
that this guy was coming and what this guy was
(19:44):
capable of doing. Now, maybe they should have warned them sooner.
This guy's a well known nut job. Why isn't he
in some sort of a mental institution? Another convicted fellow
with a gun? You can't keep these guns away from
the these people. There are plenty of places on the
street to buy them. There's no gun law on the
(20:05):
planet that protects us from this stuff. In this case,
the winner is the family members who did the right thing.
That's if the family members had not alerted police. We
be reporting on another mass shooting on our show today.
All right, quick break back with mort to Mom and
Jimmy Barrett AM nine fifty kprc.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Oh.
Speaker 4 (20:38):
Here's another bit of bate to happen, and we kind
of talked about it on the morning show today. We're
gonna talk a little bit more about it right now.
There are well north of three hundred and fifty Texas
teachers who are being investigated for making all sorts of
comments on the assassin, inappropriate comments on the assassination. Charlie
(21:00):
Kirk and these We had Steve Toth on our program
this morning on katih and the number reported three hundred
and fifty. He said that numbers well north of three
hundred and fifty. He didn't know the exact number, but
he knows that there are hundreds more that have been reported.
Many of them reported from fellow teachers who were absolutely
(21:21):
and sensed that their fellow teachers are saying these things.
You heard about the teacher in Chicago, right, the kindergarten teacher,
the one they have on tape, you know, holding her
fingers in the shape of a gun to her neck
and acting like she's pulling the trigger. She did that
in front of a Charlie Kirk supporter. Charlie Kirk supporter
was driving by and she did that, you know, to
(21:42):
mock the assassination of Charlie Kirk. This is a kindergarten teacher. Now,
granted it's Chicago, and you got to think that there's
plenty of educators in Chicago who think that way, but
it really is quite amazing. Now some of these teachers
are going to get fired or discipline for some of
the things that they are doing. If the Texas Education
(22:04):
Agency follows through and does what they're supposed to do,
then there will be repercussions for these Texas teachers who
are doing the same thing. The question becomes is where
does free speech begin and end when it comes to this.
I've always said that you are welcome to say virtually
anything you want. That's what the freedom of speech allows
(22:27):
you to do. But that does not mean that there
aren't recriminations for what you say and what you do.
You have the right to say it, but your boss
has the right if you represent his company, and if
his company is having to deal with it as a
result the repercussions of what you say, then your company
has a right to do something about it, including termination.
(22:51):
And most companies will tell you that you represent even
in your private life. If people know who you are
where you work, you represent our company, and if you
represent our company in a way that makes us look
really bad, we have the right to do something about it.
They're having this debate. Chris Cuomo, who anchors these Days
(23:11):
on Newstation, he was having this debate last night with
a couple of panelists on three different cases involving teachers
doing incendiary things and how these things should be Handled's
listen to that.
Speaker 5 (23:23):
But isn't it if they're saying it in the work environment.
What if you're not in the work environment when you
say it.
Speaker 12 (23:29):
The same testill applies. Actually, those are the exact facts
of the Supreme Court case and Pickering. There was a
teacher who sent a letter to the editor about some
issue involving the school. He did it as personal capacity
and there, the school said, does it disrupt the work environment?
If the answer is yes, then the school's rights outweigh
the teachers rise, and that instance you can be fired.
(23:49):
That is I think the relevant test here, and I
think that's what we're seeing exactly with these examples you
just laid out.
Speaker 5 (23:54):
Do you think, Adam, do you think they triped the
test too well?
Speaker 6 (23:57):
I think the kindergarten teacher who pantomiming being shot certainly
seems to have come awfully close to it. My recollection
of the facts there was at the school shut down
their website because they were getting some feedback, and I
don't think we have to be a mind reader to
anticipate that they probably did get some feedback. If the
school could show some set of facts that would lead
(24:19):
them to believe a disruption was imminent, then some reaction
from the school would be within the school's rights.
Speaker 5 (24:25):
What about the Georgia example.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
I feel the Georgia example is much tougher.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
Here we have somebody who said something that I think
we could probably agree was uncharitable and I think objectively
false to the extent she's characterizing Kirk's politics, but that
essentially means she was wrong she said something on the
internet and she was wrong. Well, finding somebody wrong on
the Internet by itself is not such a remarkable thing
(24:50):
that a school would shut down. I assure you that
if being wrong on the internet would shut down to school,
the schools would never operate.
Speaker 5 (24:55):
The third example, though, I think he tiptoed up to
the line, Chad, and he's not the only guy I've
heard say things like that. I don't want to say
any names because I don't want people that have violence
directed toward them, but saying the way to deal with
is is for you to get a gun. What does
that mean to you in terms of illegal analysis?
Speaker 12 (25:16):
To me, that only crosses the line of this person
should be fired. We're now in potentially criminal territory, right
if you are actively threatening federal agents, if you're actively
threatening the President, the Attorney General, ICE agents secretary know,
if you're encouraging other people to commit violence against them.
We're past whether you should lose your job or not,
(25:38):
and we're not talking about whether you should lose your liberty.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
Why would hey, Chris Pommell, why would you try to
protect somebody who's calling for the murder of ICE agents
or your physical attacks on politicians. Why would you want
to keep his name a secret so that other people
don't perpetrate violence on him. First of all, the right
doesn't do that. Generally speaking, we don't perpetate violence on
(26:03):
people who make these things. We just call them out
for doing it. But why would you protect somebody like that.
If violence is what they're advocating, then they're they're inviting
violence upon themselves. And if they're inviting violence upon themselves,
let them reap what they so. Let them reap the
repercussions of what it is they're saying. All right, listen,
(26:24):
y'all have a great day. Thank you for listening. I
do appreciate it. We will see you tomorrow morning, bright
and early, five am over our news radio seven forty KTRH.
We'll be back here at four on a nine fifty KPRC.
