Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
This is US Radio seven forty kt RH Houston Everywhere.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
With fire now, the latest news, weather and traffic. It's
more of what matters to you from the John Morris
Services Studios.

Speaker 3 (00:18):
The Texas Senate passes the House School Choice Bill, sending
it to Governor Abbot, and President Trump debunks in another
mainstream media theme about Russia. Good morning, I'm Bob France
and for Jimmy Barrett. This is the five o'clock report
on News Radio seven forty KRH. Cliff Saunders will give
you the news, but we're gonna check in with Skymike
on the drive.

Speaker 4 (00:37):
This is the way your Friday morning ought to be.
Although I gotta turn your snooze off. The wet roadways
and so give yourself extra time this morning. Even I
couldn't go full speed this morning, forty five Nord Freeway
nineteen sixty. What was that, I don't know, some kind
of stuff in the road. They picked it up and
we're back to almost full speed despite the wet I'm
Skymike Atcher USA Rbresorts dot Com Traffic Center.

Speaker 3 (01:00):
All right, thank you, Mike. And forecast today isolated storms
this morning and then partly cloudy this afternoon. High of
eighty four, partly cloudy overnight overnight low of about seventy
one as well. And for the weekend, well, it's going
to be pretty sunny and pretty warm. Temperature is going

we are looking at seventy two degrees at your official

(01:20):
severe weather station, News Radio seven forty ktr H. And
now our first daste of the morning news here's Cliff Saunders.

Speaker 5 (01:26):
Thank you, Bob, Good morning everybody, five oh one on KTRH.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
Our top story iving.

Speaker 5 (01:31):
Nineteen eyes and twelve day's school choice has come to Texas.

Speaker 3 (01:35):
Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick.

Speaker 5 (01:37):
The Senate passes the House's school Choice Plan nineteen to twelve,
a day after Governor Greg Gabbott said it was coming.

Speaker 6 (01:44):
The school choice is supported by every demographic group, Black, White,
Hispanic Asian, supported by urban, suburban, and rural areas. And
so we know this widely supported in the state of Texas.

Speaker 5 (01:55):
Avid with our TV partner channel too. Now this comes
as the Texas ed You Can Agency releases accountability ratings.
The Tomball, Friendswood and Barber's Hill isds had the best
scores across our area. The spring Huffman, Willis Alden and
Cleveland IDs had the worst more from the legislature at
five point thirty.

Speaker 3 (02:16):
It's now five to ZO two.

Speaker 5 (02:17):
So much for the mainstream media narrative that President Trump
is a Russia supporter. Trump had sharp words for the
Russians after an airstrike on Ukraine.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
I wasn't happy with it.

Speaker 7 (02:29):
And we're in the midst of talking peace and missiles
were fired, and I was not happy with it.

Speaker 5 (02:35):
Trump had been pushing Russia and Ukraine to make a
peace deal this week. As for tariffs, the President also
denied the Chinese claim that there had been no trade
talks between the two countries.

Speaker 8 (02:45):
The second stage, the art of the deal part is happening.
I think we now have eighteen written offers from countries
for great trade deals.

Speaker 5 (02:53):
National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett on Fox Business. Looking
at the markets right now, down futures are fairly flat,
with oil trading at sixty two dollars and forty three
cents at barrel. That's down thirty six cents five zho
three on KTRH. The mainstream media wants you to think
that Democrats can still count on younger voters guess what,

(03:14):
that's fake news.

Speaker 9 (03:16):
A new Harvard poll shows just twenty three percent of
voters under age thirty approve of Democrats, a sharp decline
from just five years ago. The Portal podcast host Eric
Weinstein tells Fox many young people have been driven off
by the party's radical views.

Speaker 10 (03:29):
This is a mind virus that somehow parasitized the DNC.
You have a leadership organization that will not look outside
of its own tiny echo chamber, and you have a
lot of people it self described as educators who appear
to not really understand much of anything about education.

Speaker 9 (03:44):
He says, Young people aren't necessarily moving right, they're just
moving away from madness. Corey Jolson News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 5 (03:52):
Sara More anti Israel protest on college campuses these days,
like Yale this week. New report from the Anti Defamation
League finds that anti Semitic incidents were up last year,
not only nationally, but here in Houston as well. Jake
Kurrs with the Texas ADL says these incidents took place
at universities along with K through twelve schools.

Speaker 11 (04:13):
People were going after Jewish students for no other reason
then that they were Jewish you know, they have nothing
to do with a war going on across the world,
Yet somehow they were made to feel like they were
responsible for it by teachers and by classmates.

Speaker 5 (04:27):
Seventy two percent of the incidents were harassment. Vandalism incidents
were up sixty four percent. Despite that, some local Jewish
leaders remain anti Trump by David Lyon of Congregation Beth
Israel and Myerland told The Houston Chronicle in a recent
interview that Trump's policies quote make Jews less safe. Coming

(04:49):
up on fiveh five, crime is rising in our suburbs
as well. Two women were robbed at gunpoint in West
University outside of their home.

Speaker 3 (04:57):
Police are looking for two gunmen.

Speaker 5 (05:00):
Texas may need more than bail reform, how about parole reform.
This after a seventeen year old paroled convicted capital murderer
recently attacked an eighty one year old a Leaf woman.

Speaker 12 (05:11):
Benny Simmons was paroled after being convicted of capital murder
in twenty twenty two.

Speaker 13 (05:15):
The juvenile system deemed him worthy of being paroled after
serving less than three years of twenty years sentence.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
Never seen anything like it.

Speaker 12 (05:24):
That's Andy conn with crime stoppers. He says, they want
to know who decided to release Simmons so quickly.

Speaker 13 (05:29):
Was it the Texas Parole Board? Was it juvenile officials.
There's an explanation that the people of the state of
Texas deserved.

Speaker 3 (05:37):
Con says.

Speaker 12 (05:38):
The scariest part of all of this is chances are
Simmons isn't the only one to be released so soon.
Ethan Buchanan, News Radio seven forty KTRH.

Speaker 3 (05:45):
Scary stuff right there.

Speaker 5 (05:46):
Preparations for next month's JEEP Weekend continued despite what an
earlier email from the Galveston County Parks Department said.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
Beaches will be open for it.

Speaker 14 (05:57):
We can't control JEEP Weekend. There's no organ so there's
no one to discuss this with. Somehow, communication between the
Sheriff's office and the Parks Department went sideways and they
sent out a message that.

Speaker 3 (06:07):
Was an accurate.

Speaker 5 (06:08):
Galveston County Judge Mark Henry says they are preparing a
massive law enforcement President's Presidence which will be announced next week.
JEEP Weekend, you said from May fourteenth through the eighteenth.
At five oh six, the Houston Texans traded their first
round pick in last night's NFL Draft to the New
York Giants for three picks, including a third rounder next year.

(06:28):
Sports Talk seven nineties Adam Wexler says, this opens up
a lot of possibilities.

Speaker 15 (06:33):
To have all night into the beginning of the second
round to put together whatever else it is you'd like
to do, because you have the second pick of the
day and there are lots of options with all of
the picks you've acquired, and with everybody else having a
chance to recalibrate what they might like to do.

Speaker 5 (06:46):
Meantime, Former UH quarterback cam Ward was the number one
overall selection by the Tennessee Titans and the Astros visit
Kansas City tonight. Pregame at five point thirty on Sports
Talk seven ninety, first pitch at six forty. KTRH joined

Speaker 3 (07:11):

What next?

Speaker 2 (07:14):
On the ten your Faster Commute on seven k TRH.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
All right in a good morning to you once again.
Seven minutes after the hour, Pop France sitting in for
Jimmy Parrott. Happy Friday, Happy start to the weekend. It
is the twenty fifth morning of the fourth month in
the year of Our Lord, twenty twenty five, and boy,
what a what an eventful draft last night. The most
eventful happening in the draft was the event that never happened,
and that is the selection of Shador Sanders, the Colorado

(07:43):
quarterback who got his number retired for some reason or
another by his dad. I'm sorry a little shodden for
it here, I think for a lot of people that
don't like the ego. Dion Sanders, of course, is the
Hall of Famer, the greatest defensive backs ever to play
in the Lightning Rod for controversy because he has always

(08:05):
been on Dion and he certainly carried that to the hilt.
As a head coach at Colorado, he brought his sons
with him from Jackson State and turned around a Colorado
program pretty well actually over two years, and retired his
son's number for having a good season. He wasn't even
a Heisman Trophy winner, but he had a really good season,

(08:25):
so he retired his number in just a very strange development,
and then argued and literally argued online with people who
were critical of his and his son's excessive egos. And
there's a I just tweeted or retweeted rather because it's

(08:46):
just hilarious. Quite frankly, right before the show started, I
was bouncing around looking at coverage of the NFL Draft
last night, and I just retweeted the fact that Dion
Sanders got community noted. He got community noted on Twitter
slash x because he was arguing with somebody who was
critical of his son, and he said, my son's going

(09:07):
to be a top five draft pick? Where's your son
going to be? I mean, just really really like insulting
of a fan who was critical of his very public
profile son, and he got community noted saying, your son
did not actually get drafted in the top five. He
didn't get drafted in the top ten, nor fifteen, or twenty,
nor twenty five nor thirty two. He was slid all

(09:29):
the way out of the first round and Lord only
knows where he will actually end up. And it was
the story of the night in the NFL Draft last night,
and it still is this morning, and a lot of
people are trying to figure it out. I posted on
my Twitter if anybody is up early and wants to
find me on x You are welcome to do so
and follow me at strictly speaking with Bob Franz fr Antz.

(09:50):
If you just want to look for the name, you'll
find me. But what I tweeted and what I posted
on Facebook was a snapshot of Shador Sanders Twitter bio
and what it is his entire background photo is a
giant dollar sign to the second Power, you know, with
an exponent and his bio under his profile is legendary.

(10:15):
Shador Sanders legendary with the dollar sign to the second Power.
That's it. If you think that might not turn off
nflgms and head coaches, just a little bit unbelievable. I
wonder where he's getting advice. I wonder where he's getting
his advice. You have to win your room, you have
to win your huddle, you have to win the respect

(10:36):
to your teammates, not elevate yourself above everyone. Legendary and
I'm all about money, money, money. You wonder why he
slid out of the first round. Not a political story,
but just an interesting story if you are an NFL fan,
Texans or otherwise, just a little little story from last
night's NFL draft. Okay, ten minutes after five o'clock. Let's
get yourselves rolling. Say it again. That's kind of.

Speaker 4 (11:00):
That was was kind of during interesting there, Bob friends,

trying to stop him from deporting illegal, aliens which is
exactly what he ran. On The democrats continue to complain

of the people is to elect this, guy or was
to elect this guy by an overwhelming margin and have
him do what he said he was going to, do
which is the largest deportation of illegal aliens In american,
history and yet judges continue to stop. That but they

been a hotbed of illegal immigration and drug trafficking and
human smuggling for, many many, years said FORMER Ice Field
office Director John. Fabricatory to see that a judge would
allow this to, happen it's very. Concerning what else has
the judge been. Doing further investigation led to the seizure
of four firearms from the residents Of April, cano the judge's,

(19:47):
daughter or Take A, lopez the Illegal Alien Trende aragua

Mexico to The Los Crucus Sun. News we demand real
accountability For Judge cano's connection to a gang affiliated criminal
and full transparency on how our judiciary is being held
to the same laws as the rest of. Us enough is.
ENOUGH i think it's a fair question to ask what

(20:53):
did they get out of, it other than some lawn
care maybe or whatever other handyman work this guy might
be able to provide the judge and his. Wife let
me say it, again a judge and his wife housing
on their property an illegal Alien Trendy iragua gang. Member

(21:13):
what did they get in exchange for that that? PROTECTION i,
mean you talk about a safe. Space you would think
if you're an legal alien and you don't want to
be popped by, ice you don't want to be popped
By Tom homan Or Christy nome Or Homeland. Security you're
looking for a. PLACE a judge's house is a pretty
dog gone good. ONE i wonder what the judge received

(21:35):
for that good natured offer of shelter and protection from
from from law. Enforcement and this is. Insane If Trenday
iragua can find a judge to live, with then it
just makes you wonder how many of them can they?
Find to pay in all, seriousness if they're willing to

(21:57):
provide them, housing what other what other things might judges
be willing to allow these gang, members who by the,
way have an awful lot of stolen money to spend
on such. Things so that's a, wild wild. Story but it's,
again it's just another example of this judicial problem with
hav in this. Country we have a very big problem
with unelected judges establishing policies that are not safe for

Coup you, Know i'm glad to hear. It just put
into blunt terms that everybody can. Understand this is a.

they had a fail safe in. Place this was their.
Backstop if we can't stop them with the, people despite
our claims of being supportive of, democracy if we can't
Stop trump with the people at the ballot, box then
we will put a whole bunch of radical left wing

Windows, solutions okay it is five point forty eight coming
up here in just a couple we're going, to TALK
as i Said With, robert ALTAMONTE Former, us marshall about
some suggestions if we can't deport, the illegals which is
an insane thing to, even say the idea That the
left had no problem whatsoever not requiring any due process,

(36:30):
for ten twelve to fifteen million illegal aliens to commit
into the country in the last, four years but they
are now requiring all kinds of due process to get.
Them out it's really. Mind blowing but if we can't
deport the illegals thanks to the actions of all of
these federal district, court judges at least Until The supreme
court finds its way into the fray and overrules all of.

(36:56):
These activists then we're gonna have to find another way
to make it impossible for them. To stay and one
of the best examples of that is to remove. The carrot,
That's right remove. The carrot we'll talk about what. That
means there is a. Good Idea, david marcus Columnists, for
fox is talking. About it not that it's, new ground
but it's something that hasn't been discussed in. A while
and we have to make it impossible for these people

(37:18):
to want. To stay remove, the carrot and they will.
Remove themselves so we'll talk about there in. A moment
coming up on five, poin fifty we'll check in with
us guy mikeel on The Drop, Mike bob.

Forty ktrh so here's a line from the STORY that
i Referenced From. David marcus feel free to put up
the refugees welcome sign in your window if, you want
but be prepared to. Pay up that is the, only
way perhaps to defeat this illegal. Immigration Problem robert almonte
is A Former us marshall joining us with some reaction. To,

(39:09):
this robert, Good morning, how? Arey? Sir recorded, oh hell
it looks. Like, me, yeah yeah longer. Being, recorded okay
can you? Hear, me, okay, SIR yeah i.

Speaker 16 (39:22):
Got you SORRY about i don't know what happened over
here on.

Speaker 3 (39:25):
My end, no worries. No worries so let's so let's talk.
About this so the immigration judges are not even just,
immigration judges just federal district court judges are making it
almost Impossible For president trump to do what he ran
on and won uh In the, democratic vote and that
is to uh stage the largest Deportation in, american history
which of course, is necessary but they're not letting. It

(39:46):
happen what sort of prescription do? You have and what
do you make of the idea of charging anybody that
employees an illegal alien to keep them on?

Speaker 31 (39:55):
Their?

Speaker 16 (39:55):
Payrolls, yeah well let me let me first start off
by saying that what's going on with all these injunctions is,
strictly political there's no doubt. About it, you know previous
administrations had deported millions of migrants that were, here Illegally

(40:20):
And president trump has tried to deport about one hundred,
thousand migrants and there have been so many injunctions that
are being put up by the. Federal courts and these
federal Judges are, democratic appointees so they're doing anything they

(40:42):
can To Hurt. President trump they're putting politics above the
safety Of the american people because a lot of these
migrants that were here and are here are dangerous criminals
and they have committed some horrible crimes to and. Including
murder so this is strictly. POLITICAL now, i, think yeah

(41:06):
what needs to be done is they need to put
things in place like binds for people that are hiring
these people that are. Here ILLEGALLY but i think we
need to go above and. Beyond that what happened is
we need to look at why all these migrants came. Over,
here well first, of all we had not have we

(41:28):
had an, open border so millions of migrants came To The.
United states unfortunately a lot of them were, dangerous criminals,
Gang Members frendi atawa, GANG members ms thirteen gang members
and full blown terrorists From The. Middle east but what
happened these sanctuary cities, and states for Example In new

(41:50):
york was giving them, free money handing out free money,
to them and also providing logging to them at several
different Hotels In New. York city so all that did
was encourage more migrant to come To The. United states,
SO yeah i think things need to be, in place

(42:10):
such as implementing buying, for people especially companies corporation company
that are hiring these people that are. HERE illegally i
think that, that'll help that'll be. A DETERRENT but i
think what has helped tremendously is the difference in what's
going on In our. SOUTHWEST border, i mean we went

(42:33):
from a floodgate being open to now a trickle of
migrants coming into.

Speaker 32 (42:39):
Our.

Speaker 3 (42:39):
COUNTRY yeah i think the number was ninety nine and
a half percent or something, like that fewer crossings in
this month compared to the same month one. Year ago
so you're, exactly right it is. A trickle, but nonetheless
it's not so much about stopping those from coming in
now because that has been brought. Under control it's about
doing the deportation getting the illegals out, of here not just.

(43:00):
Criminal aliens and so, it appears, you know And The
federal reverence doing everything, THEY Can Dhs christy Noman And
tom Holman And, president trump they're doing everything they can
to make self. Deportation easy they repurposed or reverse ENGINEER
the cbp one app to parole people into the country
to confirm that people have deported out of. The country

(43:20):
and once we get that confirmation using, that app then
you can get in line to try to get back
in in a. Legal basis so self deportations is really
probably the BEST tool I would i would guess that
we have going.

Speaker 16 (43:31):
Right now do, You, agree, oh yeah absolutely that that
was really a, great idea and people are. USING it
i mean they're they're, realizing that, you know it's not
going to be in their best interest is try to
try to stay in our. Country Illegally so i'm hoping
they take advantage, of that and some are and go

(43:52):
back to. Their country they want to come back To The,
united states and they need to get in line and
do it legally like so many other people have done
so over, the years, over decade coming here illegally and
to Live The, american green there's no doubt.

Speaker 3 (44:10):
About, it well it can certainly help encourage them to
self deport if there's no job waiting for. Them here
and that's. The idea here are twenty five thousand dollars
fine perhaps for every illegal alien that is hired knowingly
by some of these. Faceless corporations we have to make
sure that they pay. A price and if they dry up,
the jobs then the self deportation should pick up speed very.

(44:32):
Very QUICKLY Former Us Marshall, Robert, almonte sir thanks so

of the political, waters right now or to try. To
navigate them this is a really interesting observation by a

(52:25):
FORMER liberal and i don't even know What To call.
Chris Cuomo, anymore chris, cuomo of course, was you know
HE was on cnn and he was constantly A War
with Tucker Carlson. On fox news he was always giving
the left this and the left that because HE. Was
working cnn now he's Of Course. On news nation does
that mean he has moved more, to The Center like
Bill MAHER. And steven a smith. AND some others, i
DON'T know but i. Do know this he's no fan

(52:47):
of the new face and the potential darling of the
Radical Left. Wing, democrat party oops that's not going to.
Work that way let's try to make the audio sound
a little bit more, clear FOR you and i can
do that. In two, shakes right here. Here we go
Let us hear chris Nothing.

Speaker 36 (53:07):
Meaningful in congress she's done it all, on social media
and she's one of. Your leading names and who's going?
To be president you do you not get this concept.
Of eighty twenty she's an eighty twenty loser. All day
long why she is clearly catering. To a minority she's
her Own. Version of maga she's looking for. An outraged

(53:29):
enclave she's not. About the majority it's. Not about consensus she's.
Not about solutions she wants government to. Give you everything
she's a socialist in. A capitalist society what? Are you
thinking she is literally a SOCIALIST. Talking about aoc she is.
A literal socialist she describes.

Speaker 3 (53:46):
Herself that way she likes to put the Word Just
like bernie sanders does the word democrat in, front, of
it somehow thinking that takes the sting. Out of. Socialism
it doesn't, socialism is socialism and that is exactly what.
She believes in and she has decided in, This, little
tour bernie to put herself out there as the face.
Of the PARTY and all i can say to, that, is,
please please. Please PLEASE please If Aoc and jasmine crockett

(54:11):
can continue to, be the loudest shrill voices screaming nonsense from,
the radical left that is the Best news that i've
heard in a. Very long time it'll hurt them in
twenty twenty six, in The, midterms the, democrats that is
and it'll crush them if these are the faces that

system and i know there are problems with. IT in
both directions i know sometimes people who are wrongly accused
end up, being convicted of this that. Or the other
thing sometimes. Sentences ARE just disparate but i, will tell
you this this makes no sense when you refuse to
hold people. Accountable for violent crimes they become much more

is reacting laid out in real time at the top
and the Bottom of the out what's happening on news.

Speaker 3 (01:00:21):
Radio, seven forty kgrh okay let's try to make. Some
sense of this somebody ripped the car keys from a
lanyard around the neck of an eighty one year old
woman and knocked her to the ground at her Apartment complex.
Back on, april third that's somebody at least the person
who's been Arrested For, it is benny simmons, an eighteen

(01:00:42):
year old and that's where the story gets. Most interesting,
And disturbing quite Frankly andy conn from, Crimestoppers, is with, Us,
andy good morning hey, Great to be here.

Speaker 13 (01:00:51):
Thanks for having me.

Speaker 3 (01:00:52):
Good, Good to have you thanks. For making the time
what can You Tell, us about benny simmons this eighteen
year old charged. IN this robbery, case i.

Speaker 13 (01:01:00):
Tell you in my almost forty years of being involved in,
A criminal justice system i've never ever. Seen anything like
THIS and every person i discussed this with from the
legal profession yesterday also reiterates that same. Talking point as
well none of us are ever seeing someone who got
twenty years. For capital of, murder first of all he

(01:01:21):
got a break on that and twenty years for aggurator
robbery with a deadly. Weapon as a juvenile so he
got a two, for one sweetheart deal basically a twenty
year sentence for capital of murder getting out in two.
Years in. THREE months Uh huh i don't none of
us can understand how this happened because the way, we
reinterpret the law you have to serve a. MINIMUM of

(01:01:45):
ten years i spent yesterday trying to get, answers from
juvenile officials and that was like Trying To. Break into
ford knox it was reminded Me Of the. Old guests
mark series it was like the cone OF silence every
time i would ask. A Question on there but i'm
going to get answers eventually Because The people of, harris
caanty deserve answers and that eighty one, year old crime victim,

(01:02:08):
she of all people deserve to know why. This, guy
was out.

Speaker 3 (01:02:13):
Yeah that's she does she she is. Who the system
failed there's no Question About a Judge Leah shapiro or
lee shapiro sendsd him to twenty years in that case
you were talking about With The In The texas juvenile
justice department that's half of the forty year sentence that.
Could have been imposed so leniency from. The very very beginning, But,
then tell me andy how the hell was he paroled.

(01:02:35):
AFTER just two.

Speaker 13 (01:02:36):
Years i don't know if, you get, an answer you,
know let ME know because yesterday i it was a
feudal attempt to find out why. He was getting out
no one seemed to want to be very forthcoming with
how he was released after serving such. A short time
span never, seen anything like, this and to Me this

(01:02:58):
also indicates i'm fairly sure he can't. BE the only
one i just from all my years of, dealing in
the system he cannot. Be THE only one so i
don't know if this is going to Open up, the
PROVERBIAL pandora's box but i Am on it and i'm
not GOING to stop, until i get answers because. PUBLIC
safety deserves answers i don't know how in your right

(01:03:20):
mind you thought of releasing him two years and three
months into a twenty year sentence was in the best.
Interest of public safety you could have Remanded Him To
The Big boy Prison Texas department of criminal justice to
serve out the remainder of his sentence, before it became
parologible but.

Speaker 16 (01:03:39):
You didn't do that you.

Speaker 13 (01:03:40):
Just put him. Back on the streets and now you
have an eighty one year old senior citizen that paid. The.

Speaker 3 (01:03:46):
Price, for that yeah well and you, know the, bare
minimum you know in, a lot, of states you know
the juvenile justice system requires somebody convicted of a violent
crime as a minor like that to be held at least.
Until they're twenty one that would have put him, in
for five years four or five years had he been held.
Just until twenty one but he didn't. Even get held
there and it begs this, Question, For ME anyway andy

(01:04:06):
and i don't know the answer to whom do parole
boards report to whom, do they you? Know do they
serve i'm trying to figure. Figure it out, Here.

Speaker 31 (01:04:15):
Is there anybody yeah the juvenile justice system is basically
is a tough crack because of the confidentiality statures Of
dealing with, juvenile everything is.

Speaker 13 (01:04:28):
Protected EVERYTHING is sealed so i don't know, the Answer
to that because i've never seen. A situation like this
it would be who, the juvenile justice system, particularly in
this sase to at least release a statement Why They
felt releasing benny simmons was in the best, interest of

(01:04:48):
public safety and also cite the statues that allowed them
to release someone who was convicted of capital murder and
aggravated robbery well before or what we perceived to be
the minimum time that, he had to Serve, which was.

Speaker 3 (01:05:04):
Half, yeah you know what. That's A great point and
i know, you're not a lawmaker, you're with crime stoppers
BUT wouldn't it behoove i think the people to serve
the people to make sure that the parole board releases,
such statements before release not just after some. New crime
is committed when you're going to turn somebody who's a
violent criminal loose and not even care if they're, a

(01:05:25):
juvenile or not but if you're going, TO turn somebody
loose i feel like that. Should be public statement here
is the official public statement regarding THE release OF prisoner
abc or d before they, are actually set free so that,
when something else happens we can refer back to what
the what the, Parole board said, here because to me
leniency in a, PAROLE board is, just i. Don't know
it's unconscionable when these people.

Speaker 13 (01:05:46):
Go back and reoffend you're trying to put logic into
a system that. Often doesn't use logic there's an old
saying of mine that criminal justice and logic are often
oxymeronic terms that have difficult times meeting each other and
living proof of it With The, Release Of benny Simmons.

Speaker 3 (01:06:03):
Andy khn crime, stoppers Very, very well said andy thank

the other. Particularly in their purview but this is what is. Happening,
the latest one well there's, actually two or three and
we've been, discussing them this morning but this one might.

(01:14:32):
Be the most disturbing, can, we all agree? Left right
and center can we all agree that it is against
the law to vote if You are. Not an american
citizen can we agree on that you cannot vote in
federal Elections without? Being, an american? Citist Okay We agree,
so president trump said. Let's enforce that law let's make
sure that. No citizens can vote let's make them prove.

(01:14:55):
That they're a citizen. Simple to the point? Who, could
possibly object well the answer is, the left can object
and they found black robed, activists SOMETIMES called judges and
i think erroneously to fight. That it is insane in
a one hundred, AND Twenty Page Opinion Us District judge
colleen Coller kotelli blocked the trump administration from requiring proof

(01:15:18):
of citizenship, to register to vote and ordered that election
officials must quote assess the citizenship of anyone who receives
public assistance before. Allowing them to register? What does that
Mean She Also barred Election Assistants Commission the election assistants
commission from withholding. Federal funding from states they did not, Comply,

(01:15:39):
with the order, so in other words toothless toothless orders
they expect. To actually be followed our constitution is to
quote Our constitution and Trust, congress and The, states not
the president with the authority. To regulate federal elections no
statutory delegation of authority to the Executive branch permits the

(01:16:00):
President to short circuit congress's deliberative. Process by executive order
it is a simple directive to ensure that. Federal law
is followed and they are finding every single twist and
turn legally that they can Possibly find. To stop trump's
agenda it doesn't. MATTER what it is i have SAID

(01:16:22):
this before and i will say. It Again With conviction
if donald trump issued an executive order saying, That oxygen
is good democrats would hold their breath and they would
do it. Until they fell over judges would absolutely, go
apoplectic and say it is not in the president's powers

(01:16:43):
to declare oxygen oh two as being a requirement Or a.
Positive for american breathing we need to consider all of
the other different types of gases that might. Be available
for breath that's. What they would do that's. How bad
this is this. Is politics, at it. It's very very
worse we knew it was going, to BE this way,
but i got bad even. Worse news for you it's

(01:17:05):

democrats have they're the ones being Targeted here, by the
trump administration and they claim that this attack or THE
investigation by the doj is an a. Brazen attack on
democracy and it's, pretty remarkable because DEMOCRACY the, last time
i checked Was the act of we. Are not a democracy.
We are a republic it's important to note, that we,

(01:23:30):
are constitutional representative republic but they like to. Call it
a democracy but the act of democracy is allowing. The
people to choose the people were given a choice between
The Radical communism of kamala harris AND the blatant, and
i mean utter blatant disregard of constitutional and Civil rights
for the american people In Terms, of the first amendment

(01:23:51):
In Terms, of the second amendment and. So many other
things they were Given A choice between president trump And,
that vision of America And, they chose president trump and
they chose The majority of The house and the senate To.
Be held. By republicans that's democracy so let the agenda
go forth if you really. Want to defend democracy but
that's not what. This is all about, this is about,

(01:24:12):
power pure and simple from globalists who Have no interest in.
America's Rights and liberty act blue, will continue, its mission
they say and, work undeterred and, uninterrupted providing a safe
secure fundraising platform for the millions of grassroots donors. Who
rely on Us, trump's order directs bondie In Consultation, with

(01:24:32):
the treasury department to investigate allegations, that Online, fundraising platforms
specifically ActBlue have been used to quote make straw or
dummy contributions or foreign contributions to. Political candidates and committees
the findings that the investigation will be reported back with
within one, hundred and eighty days, according to the order. That's.
A long time, obviously Since taking office the president has

(01:24:56):
sought to use the powers of the government to target
those have targeted him to, level the playing field including
ordering security clearances to be stripped and punishing law firms
linked to prosecutors who have investigated him with, the law
fare cases as well as going way Back To the
crossfire hurricane russia collusion hoax that his. Adversaries Levied against

(01:25:18):
him act blue had helped power and outpouring of small
dollar donations, to candidates and causes, but It's been successful
and republicans eventually Created A, counterpart Called win red which
trump did not target in this order because he found
or has said that there have been no indications of
any foreign donations coming in the way That They. Are

(01:25:39):
in act blue so this is really literally all about
fundraising laws Potentially Being. Violated By act blue Donald Trump's
memorandum targeting act blue is designed, to undermine, democratic participation
they Say Or Said The. Democratic congressional campaign committee and
it's no Wonder why he knows americans are already fed up.

after Seven, o'clock on this friday the twenty fifth morning
of the Fourth month In The, year of our. Lord
Twenty twenty five bob France Sitting. In for jimmy barrett He'll.
BE back on monday i just have to follow up
on the on the draft, story from last night Not specifically,
what the texans did but just if you look this
morning at THE trending stories on, x and you know

(01:34:36):
all over other places where you may may need get some,
of your sports News You're gonna see shudor. Sanders Dominating
The conversation should or sanders shouldn't be dominating the conversation
because he wasn't one of the. Players pick last night
the number one overall pick in The draft was Cam.
Ward Quarterback, from miami Shodoor, sanders quarterback from colorado. Did

(01:34:59):
not get picked there were thirty one other people that
should have, the focus on them but instead The Focus.
Is on, shudhor Sanders Why well because Shudor Sanders is
Deon Sanders sun and deon sanders is one of THE greatest,
players in nfl history at least. He's ranked that way
and he's The, head coach of colorado and he has
bestowed every single honor that he can possibly think of
on his son and. In his son's head he even

(01:35:19):
had his son's Jersey, number retired at colorado like just
a month. After the. Season, ended it's incredible anyway the
story online and in the sports circles Right Now is
that shudor sanders was passed over despite being one of
the top prospects by all thirty two teams in the.
First round because racism did You Hear that he's. Shudoor

(01:35:45):
sanders is black, he's a black, quarterback and, black quarterbacks
of course can't get a Fair Shake In the national. Football,
league because racism now this used. To be a story
this used. To be a thing this used to be
a theme back when there were very. Very few Black
Quarterbacks But, the national football league for those who, are
Interested In This the national football league is in. Love

(01:36:08):
with black quarterbacks and, AS evidence of this i just
went and pulled up a little list of the number
of black Starting Quarterbacks in the national football league at the,
start of last season and the answer is fifteen starters
long in a, league of thirty two they have nearly
half of the starting, quarterbacks are black quarterbacks, which is

(01:36:31):
literally irrelevant but the league has moved this way dramatically
because they like quarterbacks who can make plays outside the
pocket with their feet and so. On and so forth
and it's just been a ton of black quarterbacks who
are dual threat quarterbacks who have started to, take over
the LEAGUE. Including. Of COURSE. Cj stroud c j stroud
is one of the BEST, passers in the nfl, no
question ABOUT. It, But C, J Stroud, Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson,

(01:36:54):
Jalen Hurts dak prescott kyler morango on a unred, all
fifteen to them but it. Doesn't matter to you but
the point is fifteen starters were, black quarterbacks last year
and the number one pick in the draft this year,
was A Black quarterback but shador sanders slid out of the.
First round because racism that's what they. Want you to believe,

(01:37:14):
there ARE some people and i don't care if it's
In the Halls Of congress on capitol hill or in
the newsrooms. Of the mainstream media or in. The social
MEDIA circles in, the nfl sports orbit pushing and promoting
divisive racist concepts continues. To be the priority that's just

(01:37:40):
the reality divide, people along racial lines no matter whether,
there is any evidence any. Semblance of it whatsoever this
is what continues to be a, blight on our society
trying to bring racism into a place where absolutely none is.
Being observed or practiced just. Thought i'd. Share it seven

nation's top school choice proponents and we're going to talk
about why it is that these dollars need to follow
these kids to wherever it is that they can find
better education than the government run schools that just happen.
To be. Located nearest them imagine that imagine being forced

(01:41:07):
to be educated solely, based on your zip code solely
based on where, it is that you live whether that
school is right for. You or effective or not that's
what the. Current government run school system and we do.

all the time but let's, call them. What they are
government schools the government decides how you're. Taught and what

me by the way and i still kind of forget
to tell, you about my social media handles but if,
you'd like to COMMUNICATE about this Find Me on x

of the democrat party i was just talking, about this in.

Speaker 3 (02:02:56):
So according to the report. It's a one billion dollar
bill most students under the terms of this who attend
an accredited private school will. Receive ten thousand dollars a
year students with disabilities can receive up, to thirty thousand
dollars a year and homeschooled, students two thousand dollars a
year all part of the School Choice bill passed by
the texas senate after It. Was Finally approved BY the.

(02:03:19):
House cory DeAngelis joins Us now he Is The Senior. Fellow,
at the american culture project corey it's. Nice to talk to?
You again how, are you hey doing really Well.

Speaker 13 (02:03:28):
Especially after this win in.

Speaker 3 (02:03:29):
Texas huge win nineteen to Twelve was the vote in the.
Senate that really wasn't the problem the Problem. Was getting
it past the house. It finally went through this time
tell us why this will make such A difference in
the lives. Of, texas students and their parents.

Speaker 37 (02:03:43):
Yeah, this is a nationwide victory actually this is the
biggest day one SCHOOL choice. Initiative to pass in us
history it'll benefit. About one hundred thousand kids initially we've
seen in other states that once you reach that, cap
showed demand for the program it's much easier to pressure lawmakers.
To make, it available to everyone no calfs no limit
on the budget for the amount of families. Who CAN

(02:04:06):
benefit from the program so i think that's. Not a
big problem, to have is a big start and families
are the. Primary decision makers for their kids if you
see that, there's Gender ideology in your, school or marxist
critical race theory or if they're just not living up
to par, when it comes to the academics you should
be able. To take your, child education dollars in this
bill it's about ten thousand dollars per student, hire for

(02:04:29):
students with, special needs and if you're homeschooling it's about two.
Thousand dollars per student per year you can take that
funding to a. School that works best for, you and
in the government schools they spend about Eighteen thousand dollars.
Per kid in texas per year. So this can save
taxpayer money you're. Spending less than you were before but
it also most importantly allows parents to direct that money.

(02:04:51):
To the school of their choice and they, should be
in the driver's seat and this is.

Speaker 32 (02:04:55):
The.

Speaker 37 (02:04:55):
Best way to do it cory.

Speaker 3 (02:04:57):
The objections are the standard objections what about the. Kids
like behind in those schools. You're taking money away from them.
It's going to weaken their education one, senator who voted
against this said we're siphoning one billion dollars out of
our already underfunded system To help a tiny percentage of
texas school children who. Are mostly already in Private School That's.
The statemum from senator, sarah eckhart how.

Speaker 37 (02:05:16):
Do you respond it's not underfunded you spend. Over eighteen
thousand dollars per, kid it's not a. Money issue it's
an incentive issue the average private school tuition is about
half of what they spent In. The government run schools
in texas and so, IF you, look at the evidence
i mean even the Main, witness against school Choice In,
texas his name was josh cowen he has admitted that

(02:05:38):
the evidence on the competitive. Effects is positive and it's,
overwhelming and even after that hearing there's been another study
That Just came out From the urban institute out of
ohio showing that, as they've expanded their voucher program the
public school outcomes have improved and kids who used the
scholarships they were about fifty percent. More likely to graduate

(02:05:58):
from college so this is good for, the kids who
use the scholarships. But also because of competitive pressures if
now you have to scratch your head and up your
game and do a, better job in that competitive. Environment
the public schools benefit. Too it's a win win solution
it's a. Rising tie that lifts All boats.

Speaker 19 (02:06:16):
We saw this in florida.

Speaker 37 (02:06:17):
Too they've done this for decades they used to be
at the bottom of the. Pack on the nation's report
card since, they've gone universal on school. Choice They're now
RANKED Number one On Education. By us news and world
report and it's not because they. Threw more money at
the Problem, they spend far less in texas and they
spend twenty seven. Percent LESS than The national average so
i expect texas to see some better, results in the

(02:06:38):
future as well because now when you, can take your
money somewhere else the school board is not. Going to
cut off your mic they're not going to label you
as a domestic terrorist. For objecting to critical race theory
they're going to view you. As a partner in the
relationship they're going. To view you as, a customer and
when that happens.

Speaker 3 (02:06:56):
You might not even have to leave.

Speaker 11 (02:06:57):
Anymore.

Speaker 37 (02:06:58):
BECAUSE they're listening to you corey i.

Speaker 3 (02:07:01):
Like how you phrased it too the government schools are,
going to have to compete now they're going to have
to improve because it used to be, they could just
get full customers full rooms full of. Customers because of
their zip codes, if this is where you live this.
Is where you have to go now they're going to have.
To actually get give better instruction they're going, to have,
to have better curriculum better materials. And so, ON and
so forth more importantly i think just, a better vision,
for educating kids not indoctrinating them because that's why a

(02:07:23):
lot of parents want. To, get their kids.

Speaker 37 (02:07:24):
OUT right, yeah that's exactly right i mean that's why
we've seen so much momentum on school. Choice over the
past few years when the unions, fought to keep the
schools closed they thought they were winning out in the
short run because they got. A lot of money from
taxpayers they got one hundred and NINETY billion dollars And
so called covid. Relief since march of twenty, twenty but
they overplayed their hand, or they stepped on a. Rake

(02:07:46):
howe everyone to describe it they showed families what was
happening in some of, the schools over the remote learning
which we should.

Speaker 3 (02:07:54):
Have just called it.

Speaker 37 (02:07:55):
Remotely learning there wasn't, a lot of learning.

Speaker 3 (02:07:57):
Going on but.

Speaker 37 (02:07:58):
That mobilized parents they did it they some parents who
thought their kids. Were in a great spot, academically they
saw the test scores they. Saw the ratings. From the
state everything looks fine but until they got.

Speaker 32 (02:08:09):
To see the.

Speaker 37 (02:08:10):
Curriculum that disagreed with their values they. Were okay with,
the status quo but no. More their eyes have been
opened families are never going to unsee. What they saw
In twenty twenty and that's why texas is now the
sixteenth state to. Go all in On school choice. They've
All Been, republican led states the democrat, party for better

(02:08:31):
or for worse has been a wholly owned subsidiary the.
Teachers unions for far Too long and now maybe the
blue states will come along And learn a lesson because.
The red states are empowering parents they're behaving like the laboratories.
Of democracy that the founders Intended and. It's good news
for texas parents hopefully at some point it'll Be good
