Thaddeus Cleveland - Terrell County Sheriff Joins Houston's Morning News

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Well, it's too early for what five fifty three at
a time here in Houston's gooring to is bloodshed. We
could end up with bloodshed as a result of all
this rhetoric that refuses to die away, especially as relays dies.
That is Cleveland joins us. He's Trrell County Sheriff. We've
already seen it with ice, haven't we.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Hey, good one, Jimmy grit be on with you. No,
we certainly have. You know, here in Texas alone, we've
already had what three or four incidents, one down the
Rial Grind Valley, one up in Dallas, and then just
there south San Antonio. So yeah, this this rhetoric continues,
and uh, and it's putting not just law enforcement, you
know that their lives at risk, but and it's an Americans,
those that we may have in custody, and then of

(00:38):
course those who are really creating the chaos.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
So what's the answer here other than toning down the rhetoric? Obviously,
which if the if the left was going to tone
down the rhetoric, I would have thought they would have
done it by now, wouldn't.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
You most definitely? And uh, you know we we we've
heard some some talk about it, but as far as
slowing down the rhetoric, calming down the red but uh,
but we continue to see these you know that they
call them protests are far from that. It's it's anarchy
and uh and it's it's it's putting people at danger.
And actually, you know, there's probably more more consequences right

(01:13):
now from our own American citizens than there is a cartel.
They're American citizens are more of a threat. So uh,
I tell you we're going to continue to see this happen.
I'm not sure what's going to be able to to
quell it or stop it, but uh, and it certainly
needs to people are people are going to be I
like to say Jim that you know, these these agents

(01:33):
and officers have shown a tremendous amount of restraint. There's
been some situations. I know one agent from here at
Sanderson that's been deployed in Chicago and and and the
stories he's told it's, uh, it's unlick we've ever seen before.
It really is.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Well, the only thing that's keeping us from anarchy is
that we refuse on the right to participate in it.
Have you ever foresee a time though, where things could
get bad? Enough where we have no choice but to
participate in it. Well, and we're still in the greatest
country in the world, right the United States. I'm proud
to be an American. And that's exactly why President Trump's

(02:05):
wanted to sit in a National Guard and not to
go in there and and and you know, add more
fuel to the fire, but to protect these facilities, to
help the agents and officers that are out there protecting
the facilities that are they're continuing to be targeted. I
don't know that we'll get that far, but I certainly
hope not. I certainly hope not. Jiming, I hope not either.

(02:27):
He may've heard the story on Florida. I want to
get your take on this. You know, it's all conjecture
at this point. But they found a hunting stand right
out of what right outside of West Palm Beach Airport,
in direct line design to where Air Force one uses
the runway there coincidence, you know, with all the attempts
that have already happened, including one previously in Florida. I
think you have to look at that pretty seriously, don't you.

Speaker 2 (02:51):
You know, of course he's utilized that airport. Talking about
the President many times before, and I'm certain they've done
security sweeps. You know, he's a man, it's unfortunately hated tremendously.
There's a tremendous amount of hate that that's targeted towards him,
you know, and we're seeing them ramp up the security,
not just for the President, but even for within DHS.

(03:14):
Roddy Scott, who's Urge Commissioner, I know he's got security detail.
The us CIS, which is Customs and Immigration Services, they're
all having protective detail because of all that we're seeing
across the United States. You know, it's it's it's certainly
been inflamed, and we'll continue and we've got probably another.

Speaker 1 (03:33):
Three years of this. Jimmy, Yeah, I think you're right
at least. Thank you, sir, appreciate your time as always.
