Episode Transcript

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

Speaker 2 (00:06):
Common.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
Breaking down the world's nonsense about.

Speaker 4 (00:12):
How American common sense.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Will see this through with the common sense of Houston.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
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. Now here's Jimmy Barrett.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Hey y'all, how you doing. I'm back from California, uh
where I married off my niece and it was a
lovely ceremony, if I do say so myself. I didn't
write the ceremony. For anybody who's curious, I don't don't
write wedding ceremonies. I what I do is I officiate
a wedding ceremony. I don't do I don't do a speech.

(00:53):
I don't preach. I'm not a minister, not a real
minister anyway. I'm just ordained for the purpose of marrying people.
So I go with whatever program they want, and they
wanted it short and sweet, and that was a long
way to go for a ten minute ceremony. I don't
think it lasted more than ten minutes. I mean, the
party was fun, you know, seeing my sisters was fun,

(01:16):
Visiting the family was fun, you know, welcoming a new uh,
you know, a new nephew to the family. That was fun.
And observing other human beings is always fun, especially in
a setting like California. And I will I will say this.
I feel like, maybe maybe it's just the laid back
California lifestyle, but I don't feel like there's the sense

(01:41):
to me. Going to California. At least going to San
Diego was a lot like going to the Caribbean. They're
kind of like on their own time.

Speaker 5 (01:51):
You know.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
You go to a restaurant in the Caribbean or some
of these other countries and the service is kind of slow,
right because nobody's in a rush. The same thing in California,
same kind of thing.

Speaker 6 (02:03):
Now.

Speaker 2 (02:03):
I don't know if it's from a lack of ambition
or that's just the laid back California lifestyle. Hard to say,
but at least that's the way I've found it. Not
that I spent a lot of time going out to places,
although I did find this amazing breakfast place. What's it
called hash hash a go go something else, no hash,
I'll have to get the name. There's only two of

(02:24):
these restaurants. The entire country. One is in Las Vegas
and the other one that's in San Diego. And I've
never seen a place like this. It is like it
is like taking a big breakfast and putting it on steroids.
I mean, there's just no way to describe it, no
way humanly possible for one person to eat one breakfast entrede.
This place unbelievable, and you know I love breakfast. Anyway,

(02:47):
we're back, We're getting to work. Coming up on segment
number three today on the show. An interview from this
morning worth repeating. It's an author, but not just an author.
Her name is Selena Zito. She is a She used
to be a newspaper columnist columnist party for the Pittsburgh Gazette.

(03:08):
She's from Pennsylvania. She does write for the Washington Examiner
and the New York Post publishes some of her stuff.
She was with President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, the day
of the assassination attempt, and we're going to get her
observations of what she saw, what she thinks about things

(03:29):
like divine intervention on behalf of President Trump, you know,
other things that whether or not she thinks we're learning
even close to the truth of what really happened, so
that that'll be coming up in Secy number three in
today's show. But today let's start off with real estate,
which everybody's worried about, and you know what, for for

(03:51):
good reason, there's there's reason to be worried about the
state of real estate. We have a beach property, as
some of you know, that I've been thinking about selling
because we just don't use it the way we thought
we would use it. But there's no way we'd sell
right now. There are down in the Galveston County and

(04:12):
in Brazoria County and throughout that area on the Gulf Coast,
there are hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of houses for
sale and only a handful have sold. And it's a
combination of a couple of things. And this is I
think true of real estate in general. It's indicative of

(04:33):
where we're at as far as housing prices, mortgage interest rates,
and insurance costs. And you put those three things together
and it's pretty difficult for most people to make that
kind of purchase. Now, one thing that they did make
a change on and I didn't realize this, Evidently, the
money you pay every month in rent is not considered

(04:56):
part of your qualifications to get a mortgage. I would
think your ability to pay housing expenses on a monthly basis,
especially if you're paying pretty big rent, would be a
significant contributor as to whether or not you could pay
for mortgage. Evidently that had not been considered before, but
the Trump administration wants to make that change so it's
considered in the future. Here is a real estate expert.

(05:19):
I think she's probably from New York. I'm guessing because
this came from Fox from Fox Business. This is one
of their real estate experts commenting on this change in
considering monthly rent payments as far as qualifications to get
a mortgage.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
This is such an amazing example of how we can
actually help people who are living and dying by their
rent payments month after a month, and honestly, it's one
of the only ways that they can prove that they
can budget to afford a home. There are Since two
thousand and eight when they really tightened up the lending
guidelines to be able to borrow to buy a home,

(05:58):
so many things have changed. There are so many people
out there that do not have W two income. They're
living on ten ninety nine income. Maybe they're paying their
rent in cash and they don't have this opportunity to
be able to get traditional financing for a mortgage because
they just don't qualify because the lending standards are so strict.
I see this as a move towards us being able
to see a little bit of loosening around lending and

(06:19):
before they're able to drop rates, and just in general
and understanding that these lending standards and guidelines are going
to have to change a little bit for the affordability
crisis to slow down.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 7 (06:29):
I'm not an expert on this issue at all, but
I feel like this makes sense that if you have
been consistently able to pay your rent, you stand a
good chance of being consistently able to pay a mortgage.

Speaker 1 (06:40):
It's an absolute no brainer. Again, these are people who
potentially this is the one thing that they really live
and die by, and maybe they don't have a traditional credit.
And again, if they're living on an income that isn't
a W two stable income where they're a pair legal
or an attorney, or in the healthcare system or a government,
how are they going to prove that they have city
income that they know how to.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Budget tax returns? Right? Tax returns show how much income
you make. Now, I get. I get that it's a
kind of a different world when you're making your money
in a non traditional way. By the way, when she
said people are paying their rent payment in cash. Who
pays in cash? Who pays and they have no record

(07:22):
of having paid it, you would think if they paid
in cash they get some sort of a receipt right
from the landlord. You would you would think, I mean,
there's ways to prove even if you paid cash, ways
to prove that you paid it. But anyway, hey, you know.
In other words, they're saying that the credit market is
very tight right now and they're looking at ways to
loosen it up. That's only part of the problem, though,

(07:43):
that's only a small part of the problem. The bigger
part of the problem is just the expense. And I
think the longer we're in a period where we have
virtually no inflation and we have people getting raises that
are actually you know, making a dent now in the
cost of items. When people start getting more ahead, they'll
get more confident. When they get more confident, they're more

(08:04):
likely to go out and buy something. All right, quick
little break back with boring in a moment Jimmy Bairt show,
You're an AM nine fifty k PRC. The whole world

(08:30):
is still talking about certainly we are here in Texas,
still talking about the flood, right still trying to recover
from the flood, still trying to find missing people. And
you know that told continues to go up, and there's
been some interruptions here for the last few days because
of you know, rain in the forecast out around Currville

(08:52):
and them being worried about flash flooding. This has just
been a horrible, horrible summer for rain. I mean, it
feels like it's always feast or famine for us, doesn't it.
We either are getting too much rain or we're not
getting any rain at all. In a lot of summers,
are you you know, very hot, very dry, not very humid,
but still very dry. It's not unusual for it to

(09:13):
be dry, certainly drier than what we've seen this summer.
But there's all the Monday morning quarterbacking on this whole
thing continues. Whether you want to talk about adding sirens,
and by the way, I think sirens is a good
idea I do. To me that is the answer that
makes the most amount of sense. The thing that would

(09:33):
be the quickest and easiest thing to do would be
put warning sire sirens up and down rivers that are
prone to flooding into and have you know a history
of flooding. Now, if you're going to do this on
a statewide basis, then yeah, that's you're talking about a
pretty hefty price, dag. But how else are you going

(09:54):
to be able to get the message to people who
are dead sleep in the middle of the night somewhere
where you know they're not going to be watching television
that you know, their cell phone service, if they have
it is sketchy. You have to have a way to
warn people. It seems like sirens would be the best
way to do that. There's a woman out in San Antonio.
Her name is Nicole Wilson, and I don't think she

(10:17):
has any direct connection to any flood victims, but she
is one of those people who believes that sirens really
are the answer. So she set up a petition online
petition for people to sign and it's got over forty
thousand signatures so far, which I think is surprised even her.
Here she is on Fox talking about getting all these

(10:39):
signatures and putting sirens on the river.

Speaker 6 (10:41):
It is is definitely much more than I expected, and
it just shows the support and the love and how
devastating this event has been for not just people in Kerrville,
but people in San Antonio, all across Texas, across the nation,
even across the world.

Speaker 8 (10:58):
Kirk County does not have him urgency alert sirens. Of course,
that became very apparent after what we saw play out
last week. There are a range of alerts that went out,
including code red alerts, text messages to subscribers' phones. How
do you think the sirens you're calling for will make
a difference for residents? If Heaven forbid this happens again.

Speaker 5 (11:17):
For sure.

Speaker 6 (11:18):
So sirens, although they're not the one stop solution, we
have to have a multi prompt solution where everybody, no
matter what kind of technology to available to them, has
some sort of warning system. So the key of sirens
systems is that they are not run on the cellular
network or the Internet, and so if either of those

(11:40):
go down, the serence still work and they work off
of floodgage monitor and as the water rises to a
certain level, then the sirens would go off. The key
with the sirens is that these campers in like cant
Mystic and Cample Hunt don't have technology in their cabin

(12:02):
They do have your windows open and they do have
fans in their windows, and so the sirens would be
heard during that timeframe. Now, you have to have enough
of the sirens within a range in order for them
to be effective. I think it has to be between
one hundred and twenty and one hundred and fifty decibels
that in order for them to aild to hear it
inside of a building, and so it would need to

(12:25):
be clear are close to these facilities that have the
highest number of people in them.

Speaker 2 (12:32):
I think you'd have to be you know, here's the
thing about sirens, though, I think you would have to
be very careful about the criteria that you use as
far as setting the sirens off, because you could get
like a chicken little effect right where the flood if
it go off just because a flood warning has been issued.
A flood warning doesn't always mean that the river's going

(12:53):
to flood or that it is flooding. You would think
that's what it means, but that's not always the case.
So you want to make sure that you had some
safety measures in place to make sure that you didn't
give off a premature alarm or you know, something that
turned out to be nothing, because then people starting. People

(13:14):
could ignore sirens like they ignore everything else, although I
would think that'd be pretty difficult to ignore. I mean,
there's no perfect system here when you get right down
to it. The question is you know what makes sense
and what doesn't make sense. River's flood here in Texas.
You know, it's very very simple for us to overreact

(13:36):
to all this because of the amount of people who died.
You can't you can't reinvent the wheel because of so
many people dying from this. It's a it's a powerful
motivator to try to come up with an answer to
better inform people. But I know, for example, Ted Kruz
was talking to a couple of Noah nominees evidently, and

(14:01):
they're talking about, you know, predicting the weather and making
Noah better at predicting the weather. Is if somehow this
was a weather prediction problem, I don't think it was
a weather prediction problem. You flood warnings went out well
in advance of this system. It wasn't. It wasn't because
you know, people didn't understand that that we you know,

(14:24):
we had a potential flood coming. It's that that we
didn't have a good way to warn everybody. But here,
Senator Ted Cruz talking to a couple of Noah nominees
about doing a better job of predicting the weather.

Speaker 9 (14:36):
You mentioned that Noah Weather Radio had saved your life.
Which would you elaborate on that and tell us what happened.

Speaker 10 (14:41):
I was at a campsite in Florida with some friends
and it issued a tornado alert. And it was about
ten PM. And this was back before I had a
cell phone or smartphone, and I took out a gad
zetter and I looked at the towns that it mentioned
along the way, and I extrapolated the direction, which was
right over where I knew we were. And so I

(15:02):
drove around the campsite and held my horn down and
told as many people as I could to leave, and
everyone left. We went further down the coast to a
hospital and went into the emergency room because it was
the closest brick building. When we went back to the campsite,
it was nothing but bare dirt.

Speaker 4 (15:20):
Wow.

Speaker 9 (15:23):
In twenty seventeen, Hurricane Harvey devastated entire communities all up
and down Texas Gulf Coast. The damage to our state
was well over one hundred and twenty billion and may
prove to be closer to one hundred and eighty billion
when all was said and done. Texans prepare for hurricanes

(15:45):
and flooding by using Noah's weather forecasts, but European numerical
weather prediction models have been outperforming US models and forecasting.
It's a question for both doctor Jacobs and mister Jordan.
If confirmed, how do you plan to close the gap
and ensure that Noah's forecasts are the best in the world.

Speaker 10 (16:06):
Closing the gap was going to require a mix of
collecting more and better observations. Because these predictions are initial
value problems. They all start from better observations and then
data assimilation, so the joint effort for data integration and
data assimilation system. One of the reasons why the Europeans
have a better model than the US is they use
four dimensional variational data assimilation. The US needs to advance

(16:30):
its data assimilation work and also consolidate its modeling systems
across resolutions of time and space.

Speaker 5 (16:38):
That's Jordan.

Speaker 4 (16:40):
I agree with doctor Jacobs. So of the pillars of
creating a weather forecast, you have model code development, you
have observations, you have data assimilation, and you have supercomputing
or HPC to run the forecasts. As far as observations goes,
we actually absolutely need to push the technology stack forward
and just new sources of data. But you know, the

(17:03):
Europeans also have that same data. So you know what's
the difference between the American modeling and the European modeling.
It's part of it is model code development and data assimilation.
And I think we need a targeted investment into data
assimilation to make sure that we can push that ball
forward and have a better weather forecast.

Speaker 2 (17:22):
All right, short answer, more money, more money, more money.
Why not just use the European model? Do we have
to Why do we have to spend money to make
the American model better than or as good as the
European model when we could just use the European model.
The European model predicts weather in the United States, They're
not limited to Europe. In fact, a lot of the

(17:44):
people who predict snowstorms in the winter time. When I
was in Virginia, we had a guy who used the
European model all the time as far as predicting snowstorms,
and he was more right than anybody else because everybody
else was using the American model. Well, there's no law
that says, yeah, to use the American model, just use
just use the European model if it's if it's that

(18:05):
much better. By the way, I mentioned, we got hit
by lightning in our house. Well, not not the house itself.
It was out in the backyard. It came down it
I would say it was probably about seven to ten
feet from the back of the house. Came down in
the backyard and just I mean the whole house lit
up white, and you got the the thundering boom of

(18:26):
the same moment that it lit up white. So I
knew it was right there in the backyard. And as
luck would happened, to see what we lose. We lost
the TV. So random, it's so random the things you
lose from lightning strikes. We lost the TV in the
master bedroom, which is close to where the lightning bolt was.
Elizabeth's alarm clock blew up. Mine is fine, although it

(18:48):
did go back to two factory settings, and I had to,
you know, had to go ahead and you know, update that.
But the thing was so weird about it is there
was a clock in the in the bathroom that also
went back to factory settings. But this clock, it's battery operated.
It wasn't plugged into the wall. What does that tell

(19:09):
you about the charge that was given off by this thing?
That you could you could reset a clock that was
being operated by battery. Just strange. All right, Back with
morning moment, We'll have an interview from this morning show
with author Selena Zito, who wrote a book about President Trump.
She was there a year ago in Butler, Pennsylvania at

(19:31):
the assassination attempt. Back with that in just a moment.
You're on AM nine to fifty KHVRC in the Jimmy Barrett Show.

(19:55):
So this morning on our morning show, I was talking
with Selena Zeito. She is an author. She wrote a
book about President Trump that's out now.

Speaker 9 (20:06):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
Listen here in the interview, I'll mentioned the title of
the book several times if you want to check it
out for yourself. It's based on conversations that not only
an interview that she was scheduled to do with President
Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania the day he was shot, but
also in phone calls and conversations that they had after that. Clearly,

(20:32):
I think if you were to talk to most people,
they feel that what happened that day is still not
explained to our satisfaction. Number one and number two, you know,
they may have suspended a couple of Secret Service agents.
Because the government doesn't fire anybody, they just suspend them
without pay for a period of time and they'll quietly,

(20:52):
probably you know, bring them back. You know, we never
seem to fire anybody. These people should be fired. Number one.
Number too, is I'm not completely satisfied that we know
everything about how this operation happened. I still believe that
there are people inside of the United States government who
knew something was going to happen and chose to ignore it.

(21:15):
Who those people are I don't know. But let's let's
replay this. This is from this morning show on KATRH.
I'm from Houston's Morning News. Here's author Selena Zito. Well,
we already plugged the book. We'll plug it again, but
I just want to get into the story because it's
an amazing story. Author Selena Zito joins us she's from Pennsylvania.

(21:35):
She was in Butler, Pennsylvania. I assume you're why were
you there to begin with. Let's start with that, Selena Well.

Speaker 5 (21:43):
I cover national politics for the Washington Examiner and Washington Post,
and you know, last year was the presidential election, and
so I was there not just to cover what was
going on and how the country was shifting, but also
I was supposed to interview President Trump that day. It
started out I was going to interview him five minutes

(22:04):
before the event, then five minutes after, and then the
decision was made that I was going to fly to
Bedminster and interview him on Trump Force One, which was
the plane he was using at that time, which was
why I was so close to him in the buffer zone,
because I would have to go immediately into the motorcade

(22:27):
once the event was over.

Speaker 2 (22:28):
So it was almost like divine providence for you that
you had that access to him, especially on a day
like that. You were on the podium when the shots
were fired. Could you hear the shots?

Speaker 5 (22:39):
I was just off to the side of the podium
I was. It's called the buffer It's usually where you
see see secret Service. It's between the stage and the
rally attendees. Oh yes, I mean the shot went right
over my head. I knew immediately what it was. I'm
a gun owner. I saw the blood break across his

(23:00):
face and saw him grab his ear. Time seemed to
go in layers. It's hard to explain, and I understood.
He said, divine providence. You know, I wasn't supposed to
be where I was, right, He wasn't supposed to turn
his head when he did, right, And there's this sense
of like, Okay, I have purpose. I'm supposed to be here.

(23:22):
I'm a reporter. I need to do my job. So
I didn't get down, and there were four more shots
after that, after the Secret Service surrounded him in a
protective stance. But I was still standing until his press
aid Michelle, but Caard the third literally took me down

(23:44):
and laid on top of me to protect me.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
Wow. I know the President's talk quite a bit about
how he believes that he was spared by the hand
of Almighty God. I believe that the vast majority of
the supporters believe the same thing. What do you believe?

Speaker 5 (24:01):
Well, you know, interestingly enough, President Trump called me the
next morning, right and early asked if I was okay.
He would go on to call me seven times that day.
And it is in those discussions, and it's in the
book where he talked about the hand of God, and
he talked about purpose, you know, questioning his purpose going forward,

(24:26):
and that God was telling him that he was saved
for a purpose. And so you know, I am someone
of faith, and so that is not hard for me
to dispel it.

Speaker 11 (24:39):
All.

Speaker 5 (24:39):
I could easily see that, and we would have many
conversations throughout the rest of the campaign. And why the
book is so important. It's not just about that historic day,
but it's also about what happened in this country that
was rarely covered with the detail and importance of of

(25:05):
of purpose, and and also how the country changed because
of that moment. Some people call it an awakening. I'm
I'm not qualified to say that, but I certainly saw
a very big difference in my coverage. You know, I
live in western Pennsylvania. I cover the Great Lakes, Midwest Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin,

(25:31):
but also Appalachia and and I don't fly, and I
don't take interstates. So I cover these political movements from
the ground up and through the people. And I definitely
saw something pivotal happened in that moment.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
Unlike the John Madden of journalism, I don't like flying.

Speaker 5 (25:56):
It's just that I miss Like I'll fly if I
have to repurseas but as a reporter, you missed everything.
That's a good point, Like I'm not going to fly
over the entire state of Ohio. I'm going to miss
so many stories.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
We're talking to again. The neighbor of her book is Butler,
The Untold Story of the near assassination Donald Trump and
the fight for Marcus Heartline. We're almost out of time.
I want to ask you this before we let you go.
I wish we had more time with you, Selena, And
that is, do you believe that we know all there
is to know about the assassination attempt on the president?
Or do you believe there's a lot of information that

(26:31):
either hasn't been discovered or is being withheld.

Speaker 5 (26:35):
I think there's a lot of information as this new
administration is taken over that's in discovery, and we're seeing
that start to peel back. A lot of the big
problem and what happened that day was a lack of
communication between local law enforcements and the Secret Service, the FBI,
everyone there that was supposed to be to protect not

(26:58):
just the president but also the people there. They weren't
communicating and that was a very system wide failure. And
you would think we would have learned that from nine
to eleven. Right, that was part of the big failure.
None of our agencies talk to each other, and yet
here in charge of the president, they're not. Plus they

(27:19):
make arbitrary decisions, you know, between someone who is not
president and someone who is president, and how the breadth
in which they they protect them and I think that's
something that is archaic and needs to be unwound.

Speaker 2 (27:39):
Well, Plus, there's always potential the politics, isn't there. Well,
thank you so much for joining me today. I wish
I had more time. Thank you, Selena. Yeah, well they did.
I didn't have enough time with her. I could have
done twice as much time. Selena as Zito, if you
want to check out her book on Trump. Sounds like
they talk quite often. I guess she has the nickname
the Trump Whisper, so they must. She must still be

(28:02):
in contact with him. I guess they probably have a
you know, a bond, a real bond over that whole
assassination thing. And obviously, you know, it's pretty rare these days,
you know, to find a journalist if you're President Trump.
I'm sure there's only a handful of journalist he trusts
or is willing, you know. I mean, he'll talk to anybody,

(28:23):
but there's only a handful of people in the entire
country I think he would trust in. Evidently she's one
of those. Yeah, very I still believe, and I could
it could turn on I'm completely wrong on this, but
I still believe that there is there's an element within
the Deep State that knew this was coming and went

(28:43):
out of their way to make sure that, you know,
they didn't get too much in the way of the attempt.
Would I don't think any of us would find that
very hard to believe, would we? I certainly wouldn't find
that hard to believe. Of course, Well if that's the case,
well we're never gonna find it out. Just like there
are members of the deep state, who would I have

(29:04):
on another guy on this morning, who's you know, there
are members of the deep state middle managers, if you will,
in places like the CIA that are still there, and
there's they're still working, and we evidently are not the
least bit afraid of being caught or being punished. You know,

(29:24):
who knows. It looks like the Department of Justice potentially
wants to bring charges against former CIA director John Brennan
over the whole Russian collusion thing. And we know that James,
you know, James, you know, James, call me. Is somebody
else that they want to bring charges against. But I
don't know that those charges will ever really happen. I

(29:45):
doubt if there'll ever be any real punishment for either
one of them for the things that they did during
the previous Trump administration and tried to do before the
second one. I don't. I don't know that we'll ever
we'll ever hear percent about it. But more importantly, even
if we do, there will never be punishment for it,
because there never is. They're just never is. All Right,

(30:09):
we have to take a break. We're back with more
in a moment. Jimmy Barrett Show. You're an AM nine
fifty KPRC. You know what I missed that I was

(30:34):
in California on Friday, But actually we were flying back
from California on Friday. I didn't know that Friday was
National French Fry Day. I probably had French fries anyway,
because I have to admit I do eat a lot
of French fries. Not that they're good for you. I
mean First of all, they're a starchy thing. I guess you.
I guess if you really want to stretch you. You

(30:54):
could call it a vegetable because it's made from potato,
but potato is more of a starch. There's not a
lot of good nutrition associated with a French fry. But
they did a little survey for National French Fry Day
on Instagram and Facebook. They did a poll on both
of those on Friday morning, asking people to vote for

(31:17):
their favorite condiment for dipping French fries. Now, if it's
a really good French fry that seasoned really well, I
don't necessarily need any dipping sauce. And like most people,
I grew up using ketchup as by condiment for French fries.
About I'm trying to think how long ago it was.

(31:39):
I made the switch, quite by accident. About maybe I
don't know, ten years or so ago, probably longer than that,
But I don't know if I didn't have any ketchup,
or if I accidentally spilled some of this on the
French fries and tried it and really really liked it.

(32:00):
I don't remember how it happened. But ten twelve years
ago I made the switch. From ketchup to ranch dressing.
I made mentioned this on the Morning Show and some guy,
what are you a child? How's that any How's putting
ranch or any other condiment on a French fry any
different than ketchup? Most people, the vast majority of people

(32:22):
put something on their French fries. Eighty one percent put
at least something on the French fries. We don't eat
them plane, we eat them with something. So how this
pol turn out? Ketchup was voted the favorite condiment for
dipping fries fifty nine percent. Ketchup other came in second,

(32:42):
other and then ranch in Mayo tied for thirty thirteen percent.
So I'm definitely part of minority when it comes to
using ranch on my on my French fries. I get that,
But what would would what would be other things? What
other things would you put on your French fries? The
Canadians would probably put some sort of gravy on their fries.
I've done that before, I've tried that before. Not a

(33:08):
big fan that that. To me, that doesn't do much
for it. Gravy works for some reason. I know it's
a potato, but gravy works for some reason better on
mashed potatoes. I think there works on French fries. What else.
Bacon's not a condiment, right, No, bacon and cheese on

(33:28):
French fries is just so good. Love that, you know,
loaded fries. But again, you know, even with the condo,
even with the bacon and the cheese on there, I'm
probably gonna dip it in the ranch, you know, just
a little bit of the ranch. I won't used as
much ranch, but you know, at least some ranch on there.

(33:50):
All right, disgruntled employees. We're kind of talking about the
deep state in the last segment a little bit here.
Evidently Dan Bongino, who's the deputy director of the FBI,
and Cash Pattel, the FBI directors supposedly are upset with

(34:10):
Pam Bondy in the Office of the Attorney General, so
much so that supposedly Bongino walked out on Friday. I
don't know if he made it into work today or not,
but he supposedly walked down on Friday because they felt
like they were blindsided by Pam Body basically saying we
got you know, we got no list, you know, celebrity

(34:33):
client list about you know, Jeffrey Epstein, you know, we've
got we have no flight log, we don't have this,
we don't have that. We don't have any evidence that
he died any other way than by suicide. And they're like,
wait a minute, I don't know if they don't believe
they have access to the same information. So, you know,

(34:55):
if that's the case, if they don't have any evidence
on these other things, then what are they upset about? Anyway?
Here is a report from yesterday on Fox talking about
this this little riff.

Speaker 11 (35:07):
Evidently, sources telling Fox News the FBI Director Dan Bongino
is thinking of resigning from the agency after taking issue
with Attorney General Pambondi over the handling of those files.

Speaker 6 (35:21):
Candy Paannar joins us with details on that.

Speaker 12 (35:24):
Hey, good morning again, guys. So, according to sources to
Fox News Digital, this all comes on the heels of
the heated argument between FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino and
Attorney General Pambondi that occurred on Wednesday at the White
House over the Justice Department's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files.
And this after the DOJ and FBI on Sunday released
a joint review walking back its claims about an Epstein

(35:47):
celebrity client list that apparently never existed. Sources also saying
Bongino is considering resigning. It took a day off from
work on Friday due to his frustrations, but the White
House is sticking up for Bondi, saying this quote. President
Trump is proud of Attorney General Bondi's efforts to execute
his make America Safe Again agenda, restore the integrity of

(36:07):
the Department of Justice, and bring justice to victims of crime.
The continued fixation on Sewing Division in President Trump's cabinet
is baseless and unfounded in reality. The Deputy ag pushed
back on reports of the internal stripe, posting quote, I
work closely with the FBI Director and Deputy Director on
the joint FBI and DOJ memo regarding the Epstein files.

(36:31):
All of us signed off on the contents of the
memo and the conclusions stated in the memo. The suggestion
by anyone that there was any daylight between the FBI
and the dj leadership on this memo's composition and release
is patently false. While Bondino's next move is unclear, sources
tell Fox News Digital Bondi and Patel Cash Ptel the

(36:52):
FBI director. Both have no intention of stepping down.

Speaker 2 (36:55):
Guys will see. I mean, you know, there's gonna be
a little ten. They're going to occur from time to time.
By the way, speaking of Epstein, Giselle Maxwell evidently is
making some sort of offer to provide the client list.
She says she has the client list. Of course, she
probably wants to get out of jail free card in

(37:16):
return for that. But by the same token, there's could
be a lot of people on that list, including Bill Clinton.
And of course you've got to wonder how far you
bad things happen to people who are willing to give
up information on the Clintons, if you know what I mean. So,
I would think that'd be a very dangerous offer for

(37:38):
her to make, to provide some sort of a client list.
I'm sure she has it in a very safe place.
But then again, I'm surprised, you know, assuming she has it,
I'm surprised she hasn't used it as some sort of
a bargaining ship before. Now. Anyway, we'll see what happens
with that too. All right, we got to leave it

(37:59):
at that for today. Y'all have a great day. Thanks
for joining us. I'll see you tomorrow morning, bright and
early at five AM over on news radio seven forty
k t r H. Hope you join us tomorrow afternoon four.
You're an AM nine fifty k PRC
