Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. So
Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
You've probably heard of deep fakes, but just last week,
as President Biden was at the G seven summit in Italy,
cheap fake clips went viral on social media and were
picked up by some news outlets.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Why the hell would I take a test?
Speaker 4 (00:28):
Come on, man, I've said it for years now. He's cogent,
but I undersold him when.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
I said he was cogent. He's far beyond cogent.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
In fact, I think he's better than he's ever been
intellectually analytically, because he's been around for fifty years.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
And you know, I don't know if people know this
or not.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Biden used to be a hothead sometimes, that irishman would
get in front of the reasoning. Sometimes you would say
things he didn't want to say.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
A honesty is that's a lonely world.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Everyone is so untrue.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
A honesty.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
Is hardly ever heard. But mostly what I need fun new.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Start your tape right now, because I'm about to tell
you the truth and that you if you.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Can't handle the truth.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
This version of Biden intellectually analytically is the best Biden
ever not a close second.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
And I've known him for years. The presents have known
him for fifty years.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
If it weren't the truth, I wouldn't say it.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Honesty.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
That's a loly word.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
Everyone is so true, Ah, honesty.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
This hardly ever heard?
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Mostly what I need.
Speaker 6 (02:23):
Them every time he comes on stage or they turn
to him, I'm like, Joe, can you get it out?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Let's get the words out.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
Though you kind of feel bad for him, how do.
Speaker 7 (02:34):
You think it makes little kids with stutters feel when
they see you make a comment like that.
Speaker 6 (02:39):
First and foremost, I had no idea that Joe Biden
ever suffered from a stutter. I think what we see
on stage with Joe Biden Jake is very clearly a
cognitive decline. That's what I'm referring to. It makes me uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
You are.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
I think it's so amazing.
Speaker 7 (02:56):
It's so amazing to me that.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
Try and figure out an answer cognitive decline. You're trying
to tell me that what I was suggesting was I
think that.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
You were mocking his stutter.
Speaker 7 (03:05):
Yeah, I think you were mocking his stutter. And I
think you have absolutely no standing to diagnose somebody's cognitive decline.
I would think that somebody in the Pump family would
be more sensitive to people who do not have medical
licenses diagnosing politicians from afar. Come on, man, you all
went along with the idea that he was up for it,
(03:26):
and he wasn't, and everybody saw it and the country
rejected it.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Honesty, every water is so true. Honesty, this rough last night,
the busy blood I need.
Speaker 8 (03:54):
I told a member of George Foreman's family, talking about
the pain of losing their father, that the problem with
death is that you are missed directly proportionate to how
(04:15):
much you were loved. You know, everybody has that second
cousin good for nothing, went to prison, put his mother
through hell, borrowed money from everybody, caused problems for the
entirety of the family. Everybody worried that they were going
to do something wrong at any given time. When that
(04:38):
person passes, you're not trying to crawl into the casket
with them.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
It's when.
Speaker 8 (04:47):
Someone you're very close to that fills a space in
your life is gone that the imptenness is felt and
we all deal with this. Loss is grief. So I
decided years ago that I had so many things going
(05:07):
in my life that required my mental energy and emotion
that I should probably carve out sports because I was
a nuts sports fan and I didn't have the bandwidth
to throw myself into that. And I found that not caring,
(05:29):
you know, picking up sports at playoff time and watching
every game without rooting for anyone, you could actually appreciate
the nuances of the game, the competition, and whoever won,
you went to bed.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
And it was no heartache.
Speaker 8 (05:45):
It was I I had an odd sense, especially after
what happened last year and the guys coming back, that
this was going to be a special team.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
And it was a special team. It was loaded.
Speaker 8 (06:01):
They played defense like I've never ever and I've been
watching college basketball since the late seventies, I've never watched
a team play better defense than they did. I miss
the game of old of Patrick Ewing and Ralph Sampson.
Of course, a Kim the laje one ed Pintney. I
(06:23):
missed the low post position, the big boy down low
that was the enforcer to Kim Bay that when when
they came into the paint, you know, was swatting balls away,
was tough to defend. Had a good low post move,
which of course Juwan Roberts did different, different style of player.
(06:45):
I missed that aspect, and I miss the cutting and
slashing and passing and and and scripted plays as opposed
to the three point contest.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
It feels like pickup ball. But boy, that team.
Speaker 8 (06:59):
Last night, man, they were so much fun and what
a season this was to watch them. And I'm not
gonna lie. I mean, a team is not a university.
The university and the university experience is supposed to be
about education and growth and development and making contacts and learning,
(07:20):
and it's very personal to a student. Whoever wears your
uniform and happens to walk on the campus with you
is not your university. But it sure is easy to
forget that, isn't it. It sure is easy to root
for your team so much because that is part of
your identity, and it's fun when they win, you puff
your chest out a little bit. You think back to
(07:42):
your university you haven't been on the campus of in
many cases in quite some time. So yes, I was
emotionally invested in that game last night, and I wanted
it for I wanted it for the entirety of Cougarnation.
I wanted people who went to school there I read
one Poor Sappas said, oh, here we go again. They're
(08:03):
going to start with the cougar high comments on us again.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
And I thought, kind of makes me sad that that
bothers you.
Speaker 8 (08:11):
I mean, be proud of who you are and what
you've done, and anybody criticizing you, don't let them anyway.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Off to the show bummer of a night New Dame
lapping around.
Speaker 8 (08:36):
Dumb dumb JP George if ort beIN County Democrat County
judge has now been charged with money laundry, two felonies.
He's already out on bond for the fake racism scheme
concocted with his former chief of staff. Ort beIN County
Democrat party is now calling on dumb dumb to resign
because they got to put somebody in there equally as
(08:58):
corrupt and dumb.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
He is the story for maybec thirteen. More hot water
for a man already boiling in it. Let's get right
to it. KP.
Speaker 9 (09:04):
George now facing two felonies, both for money laundering.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
We just got the court documents.
Speaker 9 (09:09):
Stay A used George of money laundering beginning on January twelve,
twenty nineteen.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
That's less than two weeks after.
Speaker 9 (09:14):
He took office, and the documents don't specifically state where
the money came from, but it's described as, quote, the
proceeds of criminal activity, the amount between thirty and one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Now, this is the latest
major blow for the battled judge, already out on bond
for what's been described as a fake racism scheme. George
previously accused of posting racist messages about himself from fake
(09:35):
accounts on social media, the allegation that he did it
to fire up his twenty twenty two reelection campaign. George
has denied the charges. He recently railed against the prosecution
in a letter portraying himself as a victim, but he
has not spoken about the case on camera where he'd
have to actually answer questions about it. In fact, he
abruptly canceled two scheduled interviews with Eyewitness News in February.
(09:55):
That earlier charge was a misdemeanor. These new ones are felonies.
Has not commented yet on these new charges. Eric in China,
all right, so the charges somehow we're related, and we
know how this came about. Well, it's interesting. We just
got a statement from the Fort Been County District Attorney's
Office saying that in the course of their ongoing investigation
into that alleged fake identity scheme, it led to new
(10:16):
felony indictment for money laundering. So not related except that
law enforcement seems to have found evidence a more alleged
wrongdoing as they started looking around in that initial investigation.
So we will certainly keep piecing it together.
Speaker 8 (10:32):
KP. George, it seems is as dumb as he appears
when you watch him on TV. You know, you see
him on TV and he looks just dumb slow, you
know of myce and Men, Lenny kind of stuff, and
you think, well, he's not really that dumb. You know,
maybe it's a cultural thing. Maybe he's just not good
(10:53):
on TV. You know, he seems like a guy. You
see characters who are type cast as you know, just
kind of a dumb galute and they're they're a caricature
of a person and that becomes the character that they
you know, it's a comedic effect.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
You've always got a good.
Speaker 8 (11:13):
Punch line ready with them saying something real dumb, and
you know, then that's the guy that's the county judge
in Fort Man County and so I've asked. I've asked
people who worked with him, people who know him, people
who've interacted with him, people who would have whose judgment
I would trust, And they go, oh, no, he's really dumb,
Like he's really dumb, like absurdly dumb.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
You know Biden was demented. KP.
Speaker 8 (11:43):
George is dumb. He's really really dumb. And it turns
out so is Lena. Head All go, it's just packaged differently.
So you can't imagine this young. I don't want to
say attractive because some of you will get so upset
that she is in any way attractive, but whatever, that
could be dumb. But she is dumb. She's very, very
not smart. But hers is mixed with extreme, extreme mental
(12:11):
health imbalance. She is the word Narls. Barkley would have
referred to as crazy. She's literally nuts. And if you've
ever had a buddy married to a woman like this,
you know, you know this is this is a kind
of nuts.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
This is really really nuts. Now I don't think she's
or I.
Speaker 8 (12:30):
Don't think she was an angry, vindictive nuts until probably
Rodney told her, you know you're gonna have to buck
up and fight back at first, she was just giddy
that she was getting to play county judge. And it
was fun, and it was dress up and and and
she was even prone with the whole everybody around her
on her rainbow tour.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
And so she would do her you know, weekend.
Speaker 8 (12:56):
Cycling competitions, and she had you know, officers who could
carry her bike so she didn't have to get her
bike in and out of the vehicle, and they drove
her around and she was dressed up right like a
little kid playing princess at school. But I'm told she
is as dumb as he is. And what's crazy about
all of this is when I came to Houston in
nineteen eighty nine, the city of Houston was the more
(13:19):
corrupt of the government. You had Kathy Whitmeyer and she
was banging well you know who she was banging. And
you had Mickey Leland, who was the congressman and the
seat that Barbara Jordan had held. And Mickey Leland was
this rabble rouser and there were lots of rumors swirling.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
As to what he was up to. But then he
dies in a plane.
Speaker 8 (13:42):
Crash, so now you know, he's who got a wing
at the airport for him, and he's a martyr and
he's the greatest guy ever. Doesn't really appear that way
to me, but that's, you know, that's part of it
was very important that we'd do that. And then Bob
Lanier came in in a in a Donald Trump sort
of way and tried to save the city and did
a great job for years. And then of course you've
got dumb, dumb Lee P.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Brown. And so there's Leep as the mayor. And I'm
here to tell you, and I've said it.
Speaker 8 (14:08):
A lot of times, those of you who know me,
Honor off Air, I can regale you with stories for hours.
Lee Brown is legitimately, legitimately, scientifically factually dumb, as in,
if he took an IQ test, you would swear it
was altered by somebody that didn't like him for whatever reason.
(14:31):
I know, I had a lot of conversations with him.
I served with him for two years. I was on
city council, he was a mayor. I'm telling you that
man is extraordinarily, extraordinarily stupid, and that is where DEI
is so dangerous. Lee P. Brown was a perfect stooge
for people who wanted a black as the sheriff of Portland,
(14:52):
the chief of Houston Police, the chief of New York
City Police, and then of course the rugs are oh yes.
And so here's a guy that just kept falling upward.
And you see people in their careers who do this,
and you know, fast forward, you've got when Mickey Leland dies,
Craig Washington takes Mickey's seat. And look, Craig Washington had
(15:17):
his scandals and he had his problems, but I will
tell you, Craig Washington is one of the most charming
people I've ever met in all of Texas politics. He
is a guy that last I checked, he was living
on a farm mountain in Bastrop and.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Practicing law. But I'll tell you this, you would enjoy
hanging around him. He's a hoot. He's absolutely a character.
He is what you would call a character.
Speaker 8 (15:44):
Well, he wins the race to replace Mickey Leland, and
then you go to nineteen ninety four, Sheila Jackson Lee
wins city council and walks across the street to the
now Mickey Leland building and files and she beats him,
and she holds the seat for thirty years, and you
know my opinion on her, and then she's replaced by
Sylvester and I think Houston used to be a beacon
of good government and.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Now look at it. You got KP. George Lena Hidalga.
I mean, this is this is sad. There's lots of em.
Yesterday on the subject of the my cycling craft.
Speaker 8 (16:22):
Disappointingly, I only had one email that took issue with me.
One person who felt convicted and said something to the
effect of, you know, not all of us are that way.
I'm so glad you said that. I'm so glad you
said that. I'm going to retain your email address. And
(16:43):
the next time a black person says to me, Michael,
we're not all criminals, I'm gonna afford it to you,
and you're going to go nobody said they were, and
you're going to realize, oh yeah, I'm doing that too.
I'm doing that too. But the best email I received
it was from a longtime friend of mine that I
hadn't heard from.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Quite a while. Very very witty fellow, very widow turn
a phrase.
Speaker 8 (17:07):
I may hear from him once a month, but when
I do and I see his email address pop up,
I'm going over there because it's going to be very
clever extraordinarily clever.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
And this is what he said yesterday.
Speaker 8 (17:21):
Pro bicycle activism is the hobby of the liberal not
lucky enough to have a transsexual toddler to advocate for.
And I could I thought about that for hours yesterday.
Do you realize there are people my age or older,
(17:45):
white liberals whose kids are grown up and out of
the house and off living their own lives, most of
them thinking their mom and dad are whack jobs because
their mom and dad are white liberals.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Berkeley types, and.
Speaker 8 (18:02):
They are so bummed down that they missed out on
the opportunity to have a child who they could transgender.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
They missed out on.
Speaker 8 (18:12):
All the glory that would have been turning little Cameron
into a girl and dressing him up as a girl
and taking him out and this.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Is my daughter. All here, my daughter, somebody off can
see is my daughter.
Speaker 8 (18:27):
And then trying to find a guy and cover allso
go looks like your son.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Dress up as a girl, and then he can say,
don't you say it, he's a girl. You're a full
of hate venom.
Speaker 8 (18:38):
And that would have been like that would have been
an entire saturday, just going to the target at Sam
Philippi in six', ten where you, could you, know you
get a good cross of.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
People or maybe go to the.
Speaker 8 (18:52):
Walmart maybe take it out to the walmart and find
somebody who doesn't play along with your, game who's clearly
a plant, worker and be righteously.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Indignant let's, Go. Samantha you shouldn't have to be subjected to.
Speaker 8 (19:09):
This and then they would swish, off and he'd be
kind of, secretly you, know dreaming that he's a girl,
too but he'd have his, child and then maybe he'd
go home and he'd have a blog and he would
blog about and he is so bummed today that he
that his children were born too soon for him to
have that. Opportunity because you can't really do that with
(19:31):
your grandkid because the parent's going to, go, look you freak.
Show you're not making my son into a. Daughter if
you need. To if you need a, pet go get.
One but you're not using my son that. Way but
you can do that to your own. Kid nobody there to.

women and. CROPS i take up the farming full, time

lead to, divorce but hopefully. Not but there is no

Vibe and, frankly there's things that the women that you
know drives them crazy about. Men and it is so
interesting to me how that. Works and one of the,
ways even though my wife is very right, brain very,
academic rational, history she still doesn't suffer from WHAT i
(27:48):
do as a, man which is the need to problem.
Solve problem solving is a huge. Asset it is SOMETHING
i give a lot of value to And i've taught
my kids. THIS i would, read wither you be a
problem solver than the top student in your. Class crockett
has a ninety nine in physics in a ninety eight
in calculus right, now So i'm pretty proud of. That
(28:09):
BUT i tell, him you won't always be studying for
an exam where you get a, Grade but life will
pose challenges to you and your ability to solve those.
Problems when your company's running a negative cash flow and
you can't figure out how to get out from under,
it and you, start you find a way to cut the,
(28:33):
expenses if not raise the revenues and cut the, expenses
you can usually do that. Immediately you find a way
to make a product when you're told you can't source
that product or that product doesn't exist, anymore and you
find a way to work around.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
It those are the sorts of problem solving.
Speaker 8 (28:49):
Skills AND i think men are by and large prone
to be problem. Solvers and we don't want to talk about.
It we don't want to hold, hands we don't want
to hear how it made anybody. Feel just solve the,
problem and it's like whackam. Oh we're just going through
life looking for problems to. Solve to make that problem go.
Away boom, boom boom, boom keep, going keep. Moving and
(29:12):
so people will ask me for favors all day. Long
AND i use the position we have established and the
kindness of a lot of people to be able to
solve people's, problems AND i admit it gives me.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
A great deal of. JOY i do. IT i do
not do it for the person who.
Speaker 8 (29:26):
Asks they may THINK i, do they may be happy
THAT i, Did BUT i do it for me because
it makes me feel good about. MYSELF i did, SOMETHING
i accomplished. SOMETHING i painted that. Wall now that wall is,
painted OR i built that. Well problem, solving fixing things
that people can even if it's just meeting a famous, person.
Speaker 3 (29:43):

(31:19):
bisis used to Be Ladell Sapsivie hill in The Boon Walter,
Sivly my mentor was The. Zivilly and she had a
partner Named Scott davidson who was a fantastic labor, lawyer
but an even better human. Being and we got to
know him and his, Wife, andrea and they're two, kids
the oldest of which Was. Chance and When chance was
about ten years, old he got brain. Cancer oh my,
(31:43):
goodness how can this. Happen we used to have a
place out In carmeen next Round top and they would
come out there and we didn't have kids, yet and
this was just Before, michael and SO i was the
avuncular figure to all the little.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
Kids we'd have An easter egg. Hun we didn't have.
Speaker 8 (32:00):
Kids everybody bring their kids and we'd have this Big
easter egg. Hunt we'd do t shirts and prizes and
it was a lot of. Fun and this kid was my.
Favorite and then the cancer comes back and he. Passes
he was twelve years. Old, devastating just, devastating and so
they started a charity Call chance For, hope and they
started it on a shoe.
Speaker 3 (32:21):
String and WE'RE i bet we're ten years in.
Speaker 8 (32:25):
Now and it gave his wife a purpose and an
outlet for her. Grief she probably needed that more when
her son went off to college In, california because that
was the only other child they had at. Home SO
i emailed them AND i, said, HEY i know that
one of the things y'all do is you help families

houston but on a smaller, scale and it just so
turns out that they have an apartment that just opened.
Up they rent an, apartment multiple, apartments one of the
things they. Do and if you get sent To houston
From orange or From South, carolina they put you in an.
Apartment because we have an apartment just opened. Up, yeah
we'll put them in there. Tomorrow so that is one
(33:10):
of the charities that we support With Michael Berry Family,
foundation and a number of you, contribute some of you
twenty five bucks a, month and of course we contribute
as a.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
Family and it made a. Difference it's all, worthwhile so thank.
Speaker 9 (33:21):
You
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. So
Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
You've probably heard of deep fakes, but just last week,
as President Biden was at the G seven summit in Italy,
cheap fake clips went viral on social media and were
picked up by some news outlets.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Why the hell would I take a test?
Speaker 4 (00:28):
Come on, man, I've said it for years now. He's cogent,
but I undersold him when.
Speaker 3 (00:35):
I said he was cogent. He's far beyond cogent.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
In fact, I think he's better than he's ever been
intellectually analytically, because he's been around for fifty years.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
And you know, I don't know if people know this
or not.
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Biden used to be a hothead sometimes, that irishman would
get in front of the reasoning. Sometimes you would say
things he didn't want to say.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
A honesty is that's a lonely world.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
Everyone is so untrue.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
A honesty.
Speaker 5 (01:19):
Is hardly ever heard. But mostly what I need fun new.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Start your tape right now, because I'm about to tell
you the truth and that you if you.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Can't handle the truth.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
This version of Biden intellectually analytically is the best Biden
ever not a close second.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
And I've known him for years. The presents have known
him for fifty years.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
If it weren't the truth, I wouldn't say it.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Honesty.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
That's a loly word.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
Everyone is so true, Ah, honesty.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
This hardly ever heard?
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Mostly what I need.
Speaker 6 (02:23):
Them every time he comes on stage or they turn
to him, I'm like, Joe, can you get it out?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Let's get the words out.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
Though you kind of feel bad for him, how do.
Speaker 7 (02:34):
You think it makes little kids with stutters feel when
they see you make a comment like that.
Speaker 6 (02:39):
First and foremost, I had no idea that Joe Biden
ever suffered from a stutter. I think what we see
on stage with Joe Biden Jake is very clearly a
cognitive decline. That's what I'm referring to. It makes me uncomfortable.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
You are.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
I think it's so amazing.
Speaker 7 (02:56):
It's so amazing to me that.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
Try and figure out an answer cognitive decline. You're trying
to tell me that what I was suggesting was I
think that.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
You were mocking his stutter.
Speaker 7 (03:05):
Yeah, I think you were mocking his stutter. And I
think you have absolutely no standing to diagnose somebody's cognitive decline.
I would think that somebody in the Pump family would
be more sensitive to people who do not have medical
licenses diagnosing politicians from afar. Come on, man, you all
went along with the idea that he was up for it,
(03:26):
and he wasn't, and everybody saw it and the country
rejected it.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
Honesty, every water is so true. Honesty, this rough last night,
the busy blood I need.
Speaker 8 (03:54):
I told a member of George Foreman's family, talking about
the pain of losing their father, that the problem with
death is that you are missed directly proportionate to how
(04:15):
much you were loved. You know, everybody has that second
cousin good for nothing, went to prison, put his mother
through hell, borrowed money from everybody, caused problems for the
entirety of the family. Everybody worried that they were going
to do something wrong at any given time. When that
(04:38):
person passes, you're not trying to crawl into the casket
with them.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
It's when.
Speaker 8 (04:47):
Someone you're very close to that fills a space in
your life is gone that the imptenness is felt and
we all deal with this. Loss is grief. So I
decided years ago that I had so many things going
(05:07):
in my life that required my mental energy and emotion
that I should probably carve out sports because I was
a nuts sports fan and I didn't have the bandwidth
to throw myself into that. And I found that not caring,
(05:29):
you know, picking up sports at playoff time and watching
every game without rooting for anyone, you could actually appreciate
the nuances of the game, the competition, and whoever won,
you went to bed.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
And it was no heartache.
Speaker 8 (05:45):
It was I I had an odd sense, especially after
what happened last year and the guys coming back, that
this was going to be a special team.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
And it was a special team. It was loaded.
Speaker 8 (06:01):
They played defense like I've never ever and I've been
watching college basketball since the late seventies, I've never watched
a team play better defense than they did. I miss
the game of old of Patrick Ewing and Ralph Sampson.
Of course, a Kim the laje one ed Pintney. I
(06:23):
missed the low post position, the big boy down low
that was the enforcer to Kim Bay that when when
they came into the paint, you know, was swatting balls away,
was tough to defend. Had a good low post move,
which of course Juwan Roberts did different, different style of player.
(06:45):
I missed that aspect, and I miss the cutting and
slashing and passing and and and scripted plays as opposed
to the three point contest.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
It feels like pickup ball. But boy, that team.
Speaker 8 (06:59):
Last night, man, they were so much fun and what
a season this was to watch them. And I'm not
gonna lie. I mean, a team is not a university.
The university and the university experience is supposed to be
about education and growth and development and making contacts and learning,
(07:20):
and it's very personal to a student. Whoever wears your
uniform and happens to walk on the campus with you
is not your university. But it sure is easy to
forget that, isn't it. It sure is easy to root
for your team so much because that is part of
your identity, and it's fun when they win, you puff
your chest out a little bit. You think back to
(07:42):
your university you haven't been on the campus of in
many cases in quite some time. So yes, I was
emotionally invested in that game last night, and I wanted
it for I wanted it for the entirety of Cougarnation.
I wanted people who went to school there I read
one Poor Sappas said, oh, here we go again. They're
(08:03):
going to start with the cougar high comments on us again.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
And I thought, kind of makes me sad that that
bothers you.
Speaker 8 (08:11):
I mean, be proud of who you are and what
you've done, and anybody criticizing you, don't let them anyway.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Off to the show bummer of a night New Dame
lapping around.
Speaker 8 (08:36):
Dumb dumb JP George if ort beIN County Democrat County
judge has now been charged with money laundry, two felonies.
He's already out on bond for the fake racism scheme
concocted with his former chief of staff. Ort beIN County
Democrat party is now calling on dumb dumb to resign
because they got to put somebody in there equally as
(08:58):
corrupt and dumb.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
He is the story for maybec thirteen. More hot water
for a man already boiling in it. Let's get right
to it. KP.
Speaker 9 (09:04):
George now facing two felonies, both for money laundering.
Speaker 3 (09:08):
We just got the court documents.
Speaker 9 (09:09):
Stay A used George of money laundering beginning on January twelve,
twenty nineteen.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
That's less than two weeks after.
Speaker 9 (09:14):
He took office, and the documents don't specifically state where
the money came from, but it's described as, quote, the
proceeds of criminal activity, the amount between thirty and one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Now, this is the latest
major blow for the battled judge, already out on bond
for what's been described as a fake racism scheme. George
previously accused of posting racist messages about himself from fake
(09:35):
accounts on social media, the allegation that he did it
to fire up his twenty twenty two reelection campaign. George
has denied the charges. He recently railed against the prosecution
in a letter portraying himself as a victim, but he
has not spoken about the case on camera where he'd
have to actually answer questions about it. In fact, he
abruptly canceled two scheduled interviews with Eyewitness News in February.
(09:55):
That earlier charge was a misdemeanor. These new ones are felonies.
Has not commented yet on these new charges. Eric in China,
all right, so the charges somehow we're related, and we
know how this came about. Well, it's interesting. We just
got a statement from the Fort Been County District Attorney's
Office saying that in the course of their ongoing investigation
into that alleged fake identity scheme, it led to new
(10:16):
felony indictment for money laundering. So not related except that
law enforcement seems to have found evidence a more alleged
wrongdoing as they started looking around in that initial investigation.
So we will certainly keep piecing it together.
Speaker 8 (10:32):
KP. George, it seems is as dumb as he appears
when you watch him on TV. You know, you see
him on TV and he looks just dumb slow, you
know of myce and Men, Lenny kind of stuff, and
you think, well, he's not really that dumb. You know,
maybe it's a cultural thing. Maybe he's just not good
(10:53):
on TV. You know, he seems like a guy. You
see characters who are type cast as you know, just
kind of a dumb galute and they're they're a caricature
of a person and that becomes the character that they
you know, it's a comedic effect.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
You've always got a good.
Speaker 8 (11:13):
Punch line ready with them saying something real dumb, and
you know, then that's the guy that's the county judge
in Fort Man County and so I've asked. I've asked
people who worked with him, people who know him, people
who've interacted with him, people who would have whose judgment
I would trust, And they go, oh, no, he's really dumb,
Like he's really dumb, like absurdly dumb.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
You know Biden was demented. KP.
Speaker 8 (11:43):
George is dumb. He's really really dumb. And it turns
out so is Lena. Head All go, it's just packaged differently.
So you can't imagine this young. I don't want to
say attractive because some of you will get so upset
that she is in any way attractive, but whatever, that
could be dumb. But she is dumb. She's very, very
not smart. But hers is mixed with extreme, extreme mental
(12:11):
health imbalance. She is the word Narls. Barkley would have
referred to as crazy. She's literally nuts. And if you've
ever had a buddy married to a woman like this,
you know, you know this is this is a kind
of nuts.
Speaker 3 (12:26):
This is really really nuts. Now I don't think she's
or I.
Speaker 8 (12:30):
Don't think she was an angry, vindictive nuts until probably
Rodney told her, you know you're gonna have to buck
up and fight back at first, she was just giddy
that she was getting to play county judge. And it
was fun, and it was dress up and and and
she was even prone with the whole everybody around her
on her rainbow tour.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
And so she would do her you know, weekend.
Speaker 8 (12:56):
Cycling competitions, and she had you know, officers who could
carry her bike so she didn't have to get her
bike in and out of the vehicle, and they drove
her around and she was dressed up right like a
little kid playing princess at school. But I'm told she
is as dumb as he is. And what's crazy about
all of this is when I came to Houston in
nineteen eighty nine, the city of Houston was the more
(13:19):
corrupt of the government. You had Kathy Whitmeyer and she
was banging well you know who she was banging. And
you had Mickey Leland, who was the congressman and the
seat that Barbara Jordan had held. And Mickey Leland was
this rabble rouser and there were lots of rumors swirling.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
As to what he was up to. But then he
dies in a plane.
Speaker 8 (13:42):
Crash, so now you know, he's who got a wing
at the airport for him, and he's a martyr and
he's the greatest guy ever. Doesn't really appear that way
to me, but that's, you know, that's part of it
was very important that we'd do that. And then Bob
Lanier came in in a in a Donald Trump sort
of way and tried to save the city and did
a great job for years. And then of course you've
got dumb, dumb Lee P.
Speaker 3 (14:03):
Brown. And so there's Leep as the mayor. And I'm
here to tell you, and I've said it.
Speaker 8 (14:08):
A lot of times, those of you who know me,
Honor off Air, I can regale you with stories for hours.
Lee Brown is legitimately, legitimately, scientifically factually dumb, as in,
if he took an IQ test, you would swear it
was altered by somebody that didn't like him for whatever reason.
(14:31):
I know, I had a lot of conversations with him.
I served with him for two years. I was on
city council, he was a mayor. I'm telling you that
man is extraordinarily, extraordinarily stupid, and that is where DEI
is so dangerous. Lee P. Brown was a perfect stooge
for people who wanted a black as the sheriff of Portland,
(14:52):
the chief of Houston Police, the chief of New York
City Police, and then of course the rugs are oh yes.
And so here's a guy that just kept falling upward.
And you see people in their careers who do this,
and you know, fast forward, you've got when Mickey Leland dies,
Craig Washington takes Mickey's seat. And look, Craig Washington had
(15:17):
his scandals and he had his problems, but I will
tell you, Craig Washington is one of the most charming
people I've ever met in all of Texas politics. He
is a guy that last I checked, he was living
on a farm mountain in Bastrop and.
Speaker 3 (15:33):
Practicing law. But I'll tell you this, you would enjoy
hanging around him. He's a hoot. He's absolutely a character.
He is what you would call a character.
Speaker 8 (15:44):
Well, he wins the race to replace Mickey Leland, and
then you go to nineteen ninety four, Sheila Jackson Lee
wins city council and walks across the street to the
now Mickey Leland building and files and she beats him,
and she holds the seat for thirty years, and you
know my opinion on her, and then she's replaced by
Sylvester and I think Houston used to be a beacon
of good government and.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Now look at it. You got KP. George Lena Hidalga.
I mean, this is this is sad. There's lots of em.
Yesterday on the subject of the my cycling craft.
Speaker 8 (16:22):
Disappointingly, I only had one email that took issue with me.
One person who felt convicted and said something to the
effect of, you know, not all of us are that way.
I'm so glad you said that. I'm so glad you
said that. I'm going to retain your email address. And
(16:43):
the next time a black person says to me, Michael,
we're not all criminals, I'm gonna afford it to you,
and you're going to go nobody said they were, and
you're going to realize, oh yeah, I'm doing that too.
I'm doing that too. But the best email I received
it was from a longtime friend of mine that I
hadn't heard from.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Quite a while. Very very witty fellow, very widow turn
a phrase.
Speaker 8 (17:07):
I may hear from him once a month, but when
I do and I see his email address pop up,
I'm going over there because it's going to be very
clever extraordinarily clever.
Speaker 3 (17:17):
And this is what he said yesterday.
Speaker 8 (17:21):
Pro bicycle activism is the hobby of the liberal not
lucky enough to have a transsexual toddler to advocate for.
And I could I thought about that for hours yesterday.
Do you realize there are people my age or older,
(17:45):
white liberals whose kids are grown up and out of
the house and off living their own lives, most of
them thinking their mom and dad are whack jobs because
their mom and dad are white liberals.
Speaker 3 (17:58):
Berkeley types, and.
Speaker 8 (18:02):
They are so bummed down that they missed out on
the opportunity to have a child who they could transgender.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
They missed out on.
Speaker 8 (18:12):
All the glory that would have been turning little Cameron
into a girl and dressing him up as a girl
and taking him out and this.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Is my daughter. All here, my daughter, somebody off can
see is my daughter.
Speaker 8 (18:27):
And then trying to find a guy and cover allso
go looks like your son.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Dress up as a girl, and then he can say,
don't you say it, he's a girl. You're a full
of hate venom.
Speaker 8 (18:38):
And that would have been like that would have been
an entire saturday, just going to the target at Sam
Philippi in six', ten where you, could you, know you
get a good cross of.
Speaker 3 (18:51):
People or maybe go to the.
Speaker 8 (18:52):
Walmart maybe take it out to the walmart and find
somebody who doesn't play along with your, game who's clearly
a plant, worker and be righteously.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Indignant let's, Go. Samantha you shouldn't have to be subjected to.
Speaker 8 (19:09):
This and then they would swish, off and he'd be
kind of, secretly you, know dreaming that he's a girl,
too but he'd have his, child and then maybe he'd
go home and he'd have a blog and he would
blog about and he is so bummed today that he
that his children were born too soon for him to
have that. Opportunity because you can't really do that with
(19:31):
your grandkid because the parent's going to, go, look you freak.
Show you're not making my son into a. Daughter if
you need. To if you need a, pet go get.
One but you're not using my son that. Way but
you can do that to your own. Kid nobody there to.
Protect kevin, wrote good, Morning, Zar i'm ready to tell

Ten Kevin. Needham of course they're gonna throw out the

lot of. Them these are the people who were, very
very bummed out WHEN covid was. Over these people need
something big at all. TIMES a concert to go, to a,

put it down on the porch. FLOOR i should have
read this BEFORE i read. It on there my gown
caught on, fire and ALL i could think, of, well

Lawn that brought a whole new meaning to the story
(22:06):

passing bills that, MATTER i recommend they mandate quote number
one ninety percent of all public parking spots should be
wide enough for a Typical texas vehicle Aka ford f
one to fifty fifteen Hundred chevy. Suburban and number two
ten percent of all public parking spots should be wide
enough For ford two fifty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Hundred, duly have a great. Day here's WHAT i.
Speaker 8 (22:49):
Recommend government get out of the business of telling you
how wide your parking space needs to, be and government
get out of the business of telling you how many
spots you have to? Have where on earth did we,
ever let's go back to the state of. NATURE i
have a farm up on the. Hill you have a
farm on that. Hill ramone's got a farm over on that.
(23:12):
Hill and we start figuring out we're spending all our
time farming and there's no quality of. Life So ramone
takes up security for the village because we're hearing. Rumblings
there's some folks over there. Mobilizing that comes still our
women and. CROPS i take up the farming full, time
AND i increase my production for all of. Us and
(23:35):
a third guy takes up a transportation, business and he
takes the access to other. Villages and they trained because
apparently they got to go over there that makes, clothes
and a village beyond that they got a.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Baker's we can have some bread with our. Vegetables and
there's a guy that has.
Speaker 8 (23:51):
Cattle he'll cut it up real, nice put it on,
ice and you bring it back and you have. Steaks
so we start specializing in our skills and we grow
and we create more wealth because specialization does. That and
over a period of, time we, agree, hey let let's
all pitch and everybody give.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
A dollar and we'll build roads that don't make. It, okay, yeah,
okay the common.
Speaker 8 (24:12):
Good yeah, yeah we have to hire somebody to manage
that money and manage the. Roads, okay so we'll hire
a county. Supervisor we're in the. Process does somebody, go oh,
yeah and by, Way i'm gonna dictate how many parking
spots you can.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Have leave that to the market.
Speaker 8 (24:29):
Place i'm not going to that. Store they don't have
enough parking. Spots i'm going there they make extra parking.
Spots you don't need government to make these decisions for.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
You and why let me tell you something.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Save human and women are. Different AND i don't just
mean our.
Speaker 8 (24:57):
Plumbing we look, boned, density muscle. Development we are buying
large different in ways that make us more interesting to each.
Other but we're also different in ways that can exasperate
(25:20):
us with each. OTHER i find the differences between men and,
women including the ones that make us, exasperate is the best.
Word it can even lead to, Fights it can even
lead to, divorce but hopefully. Not but there is no
doubt you, are on occasion exasperated with your, wife and
there is no doubt she is on occasion exasperated with.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
YOU a friend of mine goes on this.
Speaker 8 (25:47):
Event every, year every couple times every year with his
buddies and their old. Cops they've all been cops one
hundred and fifty. Years and they take three days and
they go To Rock poor and they go. There they
bring their food and they take turns cook and they cook,
out and they bring, beer and they bring cards and
(26:09):
they play cards and talk and catch, up and they're
all different departments at all different, levels and it's a
treasured experience for.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Them and he's always very.
Speaker 8 (26:17):
Excited when he's getting ready to go on that, trip
and tomorrow is the time he.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Goes AND i said to, HIM i, said.
Speaker 8 (26:24):
You, know it's funny corporate, employees like you guys at
punch a clock for somebody, else y'all always take vacations
like that in the middle of the, week so then
you have.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
Your days off to. Yourself you don't take your days
off to do days off.
Speaker 8 (26:44):
Stuff and he, said, well, no that's because the families
wouldn't approve if we did this on the. Weekends the
wives would say, no, no, no, no we're. Coming and there's
eight of, us and if we've been doing this for
twenty five. Years eight, dude, same eight.
Speaker 3 (27:00):
Guys we.
Speaker 8 (27:01):
Go there's never a, fight never an, argument never any.
Backbiting nobody ever, says let's not Invite tommy next year Because,
Tommy tommy does, this and guess not my.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Nurse he, said if the wives, came the group would break.
Speaker 8 (27:15):
Up and he, said you, know my wife said one, Time,
Hey i'm coming on that trip AND i, said.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
No you're. Not you would hate it and it would
ruin the.
Speaker 8 (27:24):
Vibe and, frankly there's things that the women that you
know drives them crazy about. Men and it is so
interesting to me how that. Works and one of the,
ways even though my wife is very right, brain very,
academic rational, history she still doesn't suffer from WHAT i
(27:48):
do as a, man which is the need to problem.
Solve problem solving is a huge. Asset it is SOMETHING
i give a lot of value to And i've taught
my kids. THIS i would, read wither you be a
problem solver than the top student in your. Class crockett
has a ninety nine in physics in a ninety eight
in calculus right, now So i'm pretty proud of. That
(28:09):
BUT i tell, him you won't always be studying for
an exam where you get a, Grade but life will
pose challenges to you and your ability to solve those.
Problems when your company's running a negative cash flow and
you can't figure out how to get out from under,
it and you, start you find a way to cut the,
(28:33):
expenses if not raise the revenues and cut the, expenses
you can usually do that. Immediately you find a way
to make a product when you're told you can't source
that product or that product doesn't exist, anymore and you
find a way to work around.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
It those are the sorts of problem solving.
Speaker 8 (28:49):
Skills AND i think men are by and large prone
to be problem. Solvers and we don't want to talk about.
It we don't want to hold, hands we don't want
to hear how it made anybody. Feel just solve the,
problem and it's like whackam. Oh we're just going through
life looking for problems to. Solve to make that problem go.
Away boom, boom boom, boom keep, going keep. Moving and
(29:12):
so people will ask me for favors all day. Long
AND i use the position we have established and the
kindness of a lot of people to be able to
solve people's, problems AND i admit it gives me.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
A great deal of. JOY i do. IT i do
not do it for the person who.
Speaker 8 (29:26):
Asks they may THINK i, do they may be happy
THAT i, Did BUT i do it for me because
it makes me feel good about. MYSELF i did, SOMETHING
i accomplished. SOMETHING i painted that. Wall now that wall is,
painted OR i built that. Well problem, solving fixing things
