Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
If you are a politician or your immedia commentator and
two beautiful babies just got murdered while praying, and your
politics force you to contend prayer in response to it,
you ought to get new politics because something very wrong
has gone on inside your soul.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Oh I wake up.
Speaker 5 (00:40):
And wo.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Wonder to wait.
Speaker 6 (00:51):
Don't just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now,
these kids were literally praying.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
It was the first week of school, they were in
a church. Half the politicians in our country have little
more to offer than thoughts and prayers.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
That is all they are offering.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Join all of us in praying for the victims, was
Vice President Jady Vince's response today.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
That's what he said.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Please join me in praying for everyone involved.
Speaker 6 (01:13):
Trump wrote, forget about thoughts and prayers. These kids were
literally praying when they were murdered through a church window.
Speaker 7 (01:21):
Thoughts and prayers just earned enough here right now, these
kids were actually praying.
Speaker 8 (01:26):
At the end of the day, thoughts and prayers have
led us to having more of these deaths, more these shootings.
I actually had a negative reaction to the mayor's statements today.
I think it's wrong, frankly, to vilify or attack people
of faith. You said thoughts, some prayers ring hollow. I
(01:48):
think thoughts and prayers are the most solid on days
of tragedy for people who live their faith every day.
And I think on a day like today, particularly in
a church community, there are probably people praying harder for
comfort today than they have ever prayed in their life.
And so I think, and I've heard others on the
left today go down this line of attack against people
(02:10):
of faith, sort of denigrating the idea that they might
want to pray today. And so I think his statements
were misguided. And I just thought maybe tonight the most
useful thing any of us can do would take ten
seconds and just sit quietly and be still, and be
quiet and think about those families, because they are never
(02:31):
going to be the same no matter what we say.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
That's my prayer days.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
You are the praying type, I would ask you to
join me in prayer. I'm just going to say a
prayer for the two little kids who lost their lives yesterday,
and this is a prayer we say a lot in
my church and I've always found it very meaningful. It's
very short, but rests grants unto them a Lord, and
let perpetual lights shine upon them. May the souls of
(03:08):
all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God rest
in peace.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Have Then eight.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Hundred and thirty new laws went into effect September one.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
We've mentioned many.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Times when the biennial every two years legislative session completes
after one hundred and fifty days, they build in a
start date for those laws to give people time to prepare.
Usually the legislature is not in session at this point.
(03:50):
But of course we're now on our special session, occasioned
by the fact that the Democrats fled to Illinois and
made a mockery of the process, for which we now
know they've not been punished because the Democrats managed very
very cleverly. May I say, they sold out the Republican
(04:11):
Party by getting Dennis Burrows, before him drunk, davee Feelin
and before him Joe Strauss, and you had Dennis bonding
and this this has been this bonding in between Strauss,
this has been the game they play. So when the
Democrats fled to Illinois, it put Burrows in the awkward
situation of saying, y'all better come back here dead, Bernie,
(04:34):
or there'll be consequences were not coming back well please.
So anyway, those laws go into effect on September one,
one of them in all but eleven school districts, requiring
the Ten Commandments be posted. We'll discuss that a little
(04:55):
later in the show You Know.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
What im on.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
One of my favorite parts of the More News is
uh Sky Mike's traffic Report.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
I don't get to listen very.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Often, but I happen to be able to listen this morning,
and I love the fact that he brings in callers
from different people, and the callers make their case.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Some guy like is Bob over on the hard work
and he's Den, and.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Then there's some guy who's Golden Triangle like they give
themselves names.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
It's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
And then and at some point he tells a joke
about being a lifeguard at the end of his call in.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
As a call in listener, I mean, that's just money.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
That is old fashioned community radio, real personalities, real voices,
the whole deal.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
So there's a story in the news. This was a
new term to me.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Charges had been filed after an eleven year old boy
who was playing ding Dong ditch game is shocking in
East Houston on Saturday night. Now, best I can tell
you run up to the house, knock on the door
(06:11):
and run away. I've never heard that called ding Dong ditch.
Khou with the story.
Speaker 9 (06:20):
This is the case now getting national attention. We have
been telling you that police say the boy rang the
doorbell at a home on Membro at Fidelity in Houston
at East Houston around eleven o'clock Saturday night. Police also
say a man inside that home chased after the kids
and opened fire, hitting the boy in the back. He
later died at the hospital. Investigators tell us that boy
(06:42):
was visiting family in the neighborhood for a birthday party.
Neighbors calling this a tragedy but also a wake up
call for parents.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Kids, which is being kids.
Speaker 7 (06:52):
I feel like we've all played these you know, ding
Dong ditch, all these games, and just to get the
end result of this, I think that's the most shocking.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
I kind of hold both of them account because you know,
you got to keep an eye on your kids. You
gotta chease them and you know, let them know what's
right and what's wrong. And it's wrong to knock on
somebody though, playing a frank.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
That's what I'm talking about. Don't knock on somebody though.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
So we saw that this activity was picking up again
after a little while. And you know, the problem is
where I grew up, and it was not called ding
Dong ditch.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Where I grew up, it was a little different.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
We didn't do it because we probably would have gotten
shot too, because it was out in the country. But
when you live in Houston, where people are feel there
under assault in a war zone day in and day out,
you are frightening them. And people don't like to be frightened.
They have to live on heightened alert because you're doing
(08:02):
this nonsense. And when you go banging on somebody's door
and then running off, you're creating a situation.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
It's far more likely. No, we didn't call it that either.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
It's far more likely that they are under attack and
they're ready to shoot somebody. So expect to get shot,
or just don't do it, be honest, Michael Berry, almost go.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
I tell you so.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
So these young folks.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Are running up and banging on the door and then
running away, and I suppose at a different time that
might have had a different result.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
But one of them got shot and killed. Did it
kill him? I don't know if it did kill him. Oh,
he did die.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Yeah, And so the question comes, why would somebody shoot
in a situation like this. Apparently they call this game
ding Dong ditch. That's not what I heard it called,
but that's what they call it. Laverne writes.
Speaker 10 (09:12):
Let's see if i'm finding her email. Laverne writes, I
can't get it to pop up. Well, see if I
can find it. Uh, she said there's another. Yeah, yeah,
that's what Laverne writes. Okay, here it is. Laverne writes, Michael,
(09:33):
what you're thinking about is ring a bell run like hell? No, No,
that's not what I heard it called either. Let's see
if I got the other. Somebody else said it's called
something else. Let me see if I can pull this
up another.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Name I hadn't heard. Uh, let's see. Yeah, No, I
don't I don't know, never heard ding dong ditch. I
never heard ring a bell run like hell.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
So.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
A criminal defense attorney on Fox twenty six says, I
don't see a self defense in the case the kid
was running away.
Speaker 11 (10:12):
Yeah, I don't see any justification there. In Texas, you
have the right to use force if you reasonably believe
that it's immediately necessary to counterforce. Based on the defects
we know so far, it looks like it was simply
a kid ringing the doorbell and leaving the property and
running away. So under those facts, I don't see any
scenario where it's justified as self defense.
Speaker 12 (10:30):
When we're looking at a case like this one, what
if this person were to be inside their house, when
do you have the right to defend yourself?
Speaker 11 (10:39):
So, just like normal self defense, it's reasonably justified immediately
necessary to protect yourself. But there's a caveat that. If
it's at night and the person is in the forcible entry,
so they're committing burglary or activated assault or something like that,
the law presumes that it's reasonable. So if I'm sleeping
in my bed and someone breaks into my house, I
can shoot them to defend myself and defend my property.
The law presumes that it's reasonable at that time. If
(11:01):
you look at the bottom part of the self defuence
law on the Code, it says that you can use
that beforece if something is stolen from you and you
have a reasonable belief that it's not going to be
You're not gonna be able to get it back. But
simply ringing the doorbell and running away, if you know
the person's fleeing the scene, has it taken anything, has
it broken into the house? No forcible entry, there's no threat.
I just don't see self defense.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Well I do, and I think members of the jury would.
And you know what you do, you you start rolling out.
These are the side of it. We don't live in
a safe society, especially if you live in the city.
You know why Rick doak Is is taking people out
to sea houses in Chapel Hill and Waller and Brenham
(11:44):
and Belleville. You know what they're getting away from. It's
not different weather. They're getting away from the trash. And
there are people who are trash. They're complete and utter trash.
We all know, we've all been in a public place
with people that are trash. And if you think what
I'm saying is black, it's not true. I have two
(12:07):
sons that are black. I think they're the greatest thing ever.
But there are people who are trash, and a lot
of them are black.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
That is a fact. There's some white trash.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
There's there's some Hispanic trash, there's some there's some of everything.
But there is no doubt the inner city urban core
is rotten. It is absolute and absolutely rotten. No, Ramon,
that's not what it was called. No, it was called
knock and run.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
That's what it was called.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Knock and runs, the term we're thinking about when you
in the city of Chicago. I've heard fifty three shootings
over the weekend. I've heard fifty four and I've heard
fifty six. It depends on what your cutoff time is
because you got to keep updating, and the weekends are
more active, which is always kind of interesting to me.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
But well, I'll tell you why.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Because the weekends are when they have house parties, and
house parties where a lot of the shootings come down.
So can you imagine Blu Ray having a house party
on Saturday. Oh that's not like fun. And here you
are on Saturday and shots bring out.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Well, this is a story that I love.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
The ending of a man who tried to break into
an Aldan Area home, cuts his arm on the glass,
then bleeds out and dies. I mean, how perfect is that.
The story from.
Speaker 12 (13:27):
Khou Daylight reveals the damage left behind at the stuplex
along Bluebell Road, a shattered window that Houston police say
was smashed by a man trying to break in around
two am Saturday. At first, investigators treated it as a
possible homicide, but later determined the man bled out after
severely cutting his arm on the broken glass. Responding officers
said they found him unconscious, not breathing, and surrounded by blood.
(13:49):
His death has since been ruled accidental. Overnight, the scenes
sworn with police surveillance video from a nearby neighbor, obtained
exclusively by kh You Love and Capture the aftermath, showing
officers surrounding the suspect on the ground, then Emmi inside
the duplex two sisters. They asked me not show their faces,
but invited us in to share what happened. Were you scared?
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Yes, m M.
Speaker 12 (14:13):
The older sister said they feared the man would kill them,
and it all started with him pounding on their back door, shouting.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Perto here and open the door, open the door, only
open the door.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
She says.
Speaker 12 (14:23):
He then smashed the window, terrified he'd get inside. They
hit in another room and call policemos um just, the
younger sister said. Once everything was over, they imagined the
worst and how bad things could have been if he
had gotten inside.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
The sisters say they don't know who the.
Speaker 12 (14:40):
Man is, and while they were scared and still shaken,
they're also sad about the outcome, reflecting that you can
lose your life in an instant depending on the decisions
you make.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
So in that kind of environment, you don't run up
on that lady's door, not run away and think it's
funny you're getting shot. ABC thirteen with a story two
men shot and a botched drug deal that ended with
the car crashing into the family home. Oh By.
Speaker 13 (15:16):
Que men shot their crashing through a home with a
young family inside. This is how investigators say a drug
deal ended in Northwest Terrorist County Sunday.
Speaker 11 (15:26):
It appears like some illegal narcotics transaction that had gone awry.
Speaker 13 (15:30):
And range cast audio first responders can be heard trying
to help the wounded men. Investigators say that two had
driven to this neighborhood park for a drug deal in
their Chrysler, where they met up with two other men
who were on foot and tried to rob them away.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
They don't tell you the race of the suspects anymore,
but the car that crashed into the house is a
christ of three hundred.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
When they come to politics, do you enjoy a harsh
chemical lactaty where you have came to the right place
because Michael Berry.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Get on him and blow it all out.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
Baby.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
This ding dong dish apparently has a bunch of names
for it, ding dong dish not being the only one,
but that's what it was called in the story.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
According to emails, there are a lot of other a
lot of other terms for it.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
But I received an email from an old friend who
said the problem with this game these days is that
the folks doing it know that the homeowner has a camera,
so they wrapped their head in a shirt and they
(16:54):
wear a hoodie so you can't see their faces. A
group of masked young people late teens banging on the
door at midnight is enough to worry most folks that
it could be an attempted break in. My daughter broke
a little football NERD's heart, so he and his buddies
(17:17):
came around ringing and running a few nights in a row,
little buckshot in his asses. Stop That wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
It not so funny anymore?
Speaker 6 (17:26):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Cameron?
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Another listener says I don't know about this particular issue
in Houston, but I've seen other videos of what the
news is calling a quote game of ding dong ditch.
But in some videos, including one I saw. Three videos
looked to me about twelve to fifteen years old. All
ran up to the porch and each took a turn
(17:51):
kicking the door as hard as they could and run off.
But in one instance, the third kick opened the door.
The boys immediately ran into the house, quickly exited with guns,
oh sorry, with arms full of whatever they could grab.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
This is not a game. This is attempted burglary.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Again, I've not seen any video of the Houston incident,
but the video I saw ain't no game. It's young
boys intending to break into a house. Well, wouldn't that
be interesting if what we got on our hands is
another Trayvon Martin.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Oh Trayvon. He was just walking home. He liked to
eat M and M's and.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
His favorite reruns with Idream a Genie, Remember how they
remember how they meet Trayvon.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Such a nice guy. And then you had George Zimmerman.
He was a white guy. Even though it was Hispanic,
it was.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Important to he'd be white, and he was part of
the volunteer neighborhood patrol. Wonder why you need that because
of a bunch of Trayvon Martin's and he's driving your round.
And Trayvon doesn't like to be asked questions, so he
does to George Zimmerman, Zimmerman what he had done to
the bus teacher, bus driver, and I believe his father
(19:10):
and a number of other people. He raged and started
punching and kicking, and George Zimmerman pushed back, and Trayvon
had him dead to rights. He's got his head going.
American history acts on the on the pavement with him
banging his head, busted his head, split it open. So Zimmerman,
(19:30):
left with no choice, kills him. Now, all of a sudden,
we got Barack Obama. I am Trayvon Martin. If I
had a son, he'd look like Trayvon.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
Well.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
I guess that would depend on who the father was, now,
wouldn't it. Larry Sinclair died just a few days ago,
of note, and we had members of Congress wearing hoodies
into Congress because hoodies are not bad.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Hoodies are good with.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
The head with the top, as they say, activated you
ever noticed that when a crime is being committed by
a young person. They activate the hoodie. Even in the
summer heat, that hoodie is up so you can't see.
There's the reason it's up, And there was a reason.
In Trayvon's case, kid was nothing but trouble. And then
(20:18):
you remember he had precious speaking on his behalf. You
remember her whole thing. Well, she was spashal, wasn't she.
I enjoyed that testimony. Yes, I did praise the Lord.
That was good, right there. Rachel, No, not Rachel. What
was her name, Rachel Gentail or something. I think that's it.
(20:39):
We'll come back to that while Ramon finds it. I'm
not really sure what to do with this story, so
I just put it out there. Two people described as
friends took turns shooting each other while the other wore
a kevlar helmet inside a home in Spring. One of
the men has died after being shot in the head.
(21:00):
Precinct four deputies responded to a call for service in
the twenty three thy seven hundred block of Pennington Hills Drive.
Upon arrival, units found an adult male who sustained what
appeared to be a gunshot wound to the head. YEP,
that's a gunshot wound to the head all right. He
was transported to a hospital, but subsequent subsequently died from
(21:24):
his injuries. The victim was identified as Aaron Prout, thirty four,
from the United Kingdom, who resided in Harris County. The defendant,
Sean O'Donnell, and Prout were said to be playing with
guns and drinking. O'Donnell is also accused of trying to
cover up the incident. He reportedly told the popo that
(21:47):
Prout shot himself. However, a witness told officers that they
have videos showing O'Donnell and Prout playing.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
With the gun.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
If you're willing to let somebody shoot you in the
head to see if the kevlar helmet works or not,
I don't think you were going to discover the cure
for cancer.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
I really don't. I've never really.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Understood people whose Ledger, whose profits and lost Ledger runs
like this. I think I'm gonna try to build my
own bungee cord out of these rubber bands. I'm gonna
try it and jump, and if it works, I would
have created my own bungee cord.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Yeah, but if it fails, you die.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
I know.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Okay, So the upside is really nothing. The downside is
death or worse. You're a vegetable and you're able to
make that decision. That's a decision. It makes sense to you,
and there are a lot of people like that. I'm
a thrill seeker. No, you're an idiot. You're an idiot,
(23:09):
and at some point the numbers show that a lot
of people like you are going to end up vegetables,
which is far worse than end and up dead from
an incident like that.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
I'm gonna do this really stupid thing.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
I mean, I guess in some way, I'm glad there
are people willing to do this because they provide entertainment
to the rest of us. But you have to wonder
about the thought process. You really have to wonder about
the thought process. Rachel Gentel. Oh, yeah, let's hear from her.
Let's hear from pressure.
Speaker 14 (23:38):
Are you able to read that copy well enough that
you can tell us if it's in fact the same letter?
Speaker 5 (23:46):
No?
Speaker 14 (23:48):
Are you unable to read that at all? Can you
read any of the words on it?
Speaker 2 (23:58):
I don't understand.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
Curses on a recurs I asked somehow to man look
like he looked like a creepy ass.
Speaker 11 (24:08):
Craf Okay, they make sure we got that creepy ass craft.
Speaker 14 (24:14):
Yeah, okay, is that what you recall him saying?
Speaker 10 (24:25):
There are dysfunctional young people incapable of speaking English in
a level that you would want to hire them being
churned out of our communities, and the very people who
should be doing something about it, or the people making
excuses for it and calling the rest of us raise.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
It's a damn shame. It's a damn shame. It's a
damn shame. It's a damn shame.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
I want you know much about Roman history? Did you
know there was a Roman emperor who never aged after
he turned eighteen? His name was Constantine sing On. Let's
(25:13):
say fifty four through fifty six. We'll say fifty four.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
We'll go low.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Shootings over the weekend in Chicago is a very very
dangerous place. Nobody wants to move into Chicago. The people
are calling for the National Guard to come in, and
the mayor, Brandon Johnson is out there looking like a
(25:38):
complete clown speaking at a Labor Day event yesterday, doing
that thing like he's got a booger on the end
of his finger, pointing his finger, now flinging his hand.
Speaker 15 (25:47):
We gonna keep Chicago. Fu Chicago. We're not gonna let
them come in and stop crying. And you just you know,
it's at least third world countries want to be better.
At least they want to be better but don't know
(26:09):
how to get there. But you've got Brandon Johnson. He's
worse to beatle Juice. I didn't think that was possible.
And you know Sheila Jackson, Lee's daughter was involved in
his campaign, her daughter's husband. I forget one or the other.
The point is these are very small circles. Rodney Ellis
hosted Kami Mumdani over the weekend, Who who will be
(26:32):
the next Mayor of New York? And Kami Mumdanni's mother
interestingly had ten.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
I think it was ten.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
I read of her movies financed by Katar or Cutter,
however you want to pronounce it. The same people who
financed the Muslim Brotherhood, and now he is receiving cash.
If you look at the people behind Kami Mumdani and
and what he's doing and what they are setting out
(27:03):
to do, these are people playing with fire.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
But this is what Rodney Ellis does.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
He makes his little alliances with every dysfunctional runt of society.
See what the Democrats did a long time ago is
they said, you know, we can't win elections because whites
make up too much of the population and the traditional
American values. There's only one party, and so for us
(27:29):
to win, we have to cobble together a coalition. So
we've got to keep the blacks separated out. And it's
really sad. It's really sad what they do to do that.
And it's really sad how many blacks are under this
thrall and don't know it. And it's a dead end street.
(27:49):
It's sad. It's sad. I can't tell you how many
blacks have told me about a relative of theirs and
what they have to hear when they go, you know,
for the weekend and some college or high school kid
or preacher or government employee will lecture them on how
can you vote Republican? Oh, it's horrible. You got standing
(28:10):
with demand, and you're standing with demand. You got to
stand with the calls. Don't be a sellout and you go,
you know, sixty one years since the Food Stamp Act,
sixty one years since Johnson said I'll have the n words.
Voting Democrat for two hundred years. And you know what,
maybe he was right. Maybe that's all it took. Maybe
(28:30):
it's the same reason you don't feed the animals at
the zoo, they'll grow dependent on him. Maybe the sucker
succor at the government teep has gone on so long
that the values of private enterprise, the values of dignity
and pride and independence are gone in too many people,
(28:52):
not everyone, but in too many. And now you've created
a beast you can't get off of. So the Democrats
couldn't win with that, though. That wasn't enough. You could
win a seat here, in a seat there. But the
Democrats then had to go get some more groups. So
they tried with Hispanics, but they've largely failed, and that
has grown more and more to be the case. And
(29:14):
that's why they needed new Hispanics that they could control
from socialist countries. And they would bring them in and
they would stash them and they would have them both.
But now they're being kicked out. That's a little hard.
So what else do you do? How do you get
white people? Well, you tell the gays that everybody else
(29:35):
hates them, all right, So they picked off some whites,
some gay whites there all right?
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Got that you got to go after the youth. This
is a long play. It's a religion.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
When you understand it's a religion, you understand, you understand
exactly what's happening. And when that makes sense, when that
goes into effect, everything else seems to make sense. Everything
else seems to make sense. So you got the mayor
of Chicago looking like a clown. You've got the governor
(30:11):
of Illinois, JB. Pritzker looking like a clown because, by golly,
this is clip number two from chest Prep. By golly,
we're not going to let the National Guard come in
and do what they have done in Washington.
Speaker 9 (30:24):
D C.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Which is make it a place that people can walk
around in safety and security and comfort and peace. Even
DC Mayor Muriel Bowser, who has been a sharp Trump critic,
admits that the Trump surge has reduced crime in the district.
And the Democrats respond by attacking Muriel Bowser.
Speaker 6 (30:49):
And we greatly appreciate the surge of officers that enhance
what MPD has been able to do in this city.
The most significant thing that we are highlighting today is
the area of crime that was most troubling for us
(31:12):
in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Now we have.
Speaker 6 (31:15):
Driven it down over the last years, but I'm gonna
get my glasses so i can make sure I can
see it correctly. But for carjackings, the difference between this period,
this twenty day period of this federal surge and last
year represents a eighty seven percent reduction in carjackings in Washington, DC.
(31:41):
We know that when krjackings go down, when the use
of gun goes down, when homicide or robbery go down,
neighborhoods feel safer and are safer. So this surge has
been important to us for that reason.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
And there you have it.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
The thing about it is, you can convince people to
hate other people. But in all sorts of psychological studies
on it, you can convince people to hate other people,
and when you can control their schooling and their church
and their politics, everything around them becomes an echo chamber.
White he's bad, the poposi is bad, learning is bad.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
All these things is bad, and we as victims.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
But the problem with that is that when people get
a taste of what is better, they want Except for
those who figured out how to win in that bad system,
they don't want it. One of the laws passed during
this legislative session that went into effect yesterday. The laws
(32:54):
go into effect almost all of them, September first. Sometimes
you'll have someone go into a fact of genderary one
of them to the Ten Commandments. In our schools.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
On Roe is in the crossfires. We'll discuss that coming up.
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
If you are a politician or your immedia commentator and
two beautiful babies just got murdered while praying, and your
politics force you to contend prayer in response to it,
you ought to get new politics because something very wrong
has gone on inside your soul.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Oh I wake up.
Speaker 5 (00:40):
And wo.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Wonder to wait.
Speaker 6 (00:51):
Don't just say this is about thoughts and prayers right now,
these kids were literally praying.
Speaker 4 (00:56):
It was the first week of school, they were in
a church. Half the politicians in our country have little
more to offer than thoughts and prayers.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
That is all they are offering.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Join all of us in praying for the victims, was
Vice President Jady Vince's response today.
Speaker 2 (01:09):
That's what he said.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Please join me in praying for everyone involved.
Speaker 6 (01:13):
Trump wrote, forget about thoughts and prayers. These kids were
literally praying when they were murdered through a church window.
Speaker 7 (01:21):
Thoughts and prayers just earned enough here right now, these
kids were actually praying.
Speaker 8 (01:26):
At the end of the day, thoughts and prayers have
led us to having more of these deaths, more these shootings.
I actually had a negative reaction to the mayor's statements today.
I think it's wrong, frankly, to vilify or attack people
of faith. You said thoughts, some prayers ring hollow. I
(01:48):
think thoughts and prayers are the most solid on days
of tragedy for people who live their faith every day.
And I think on a day like today, particularly in
a church community, there are probably people praying harder for
comfort today than they have ever prayed in their life.
And so I think, and I've heard others on the
left today go down this line of attack against people
(02:10):
of faith, sort of denigrating the idea that they might
want to pray today. And so I think his statements
were misguided. And I just thought maybe tonight the most
useful thing any of us can do would take ten
seconds and just sit quietly and be still, and be
quiet and think about those families, because they are never
(02:31):
going to be the same no matter what we say.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
That's my prayer days.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
You are the praying type, I would ask you to
join me in prayer. I'm just going to say a
prayer for the two little kids who lost their lives yesterday,
and this is a prayer we say a lot in
my church and I've always found it very meaningful. It's
very short, but rests grants unto them a Lord, and
let perpetual lights shine upon them. May the souls of
(03:08):
all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God rest
in peace.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Have Then eight.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Hundred and thirty new laws went into effect September one.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
We've mentioned many.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Times when the biennial every two years legislative session completes
after one hundred and fifty days, they build in a
start date for those laws to give people time to prepare.
Usually the legislature is not in session at this point.
(03:50):
But of course we're now on our special session, occasioned
by the fact that the Democrats fled to Illinois and
made a mockery of the process, for which we now
know they've not been punished because the Democrats managed very
very cleverly. May I say, they sold out the Republican
(04:11):
Party by getting Dennis Burrows, before him drunk, davee Feelin
and before him Joe Strauss, and you had Dennis bonding
and this this has been this bonding in between Strauss,
this has been the game they play. So when the
Democrats fled to Illinois, it put Burrows in the awkward
situation of saying, y'all better come back here dead, Bernie,
(04:34):
or there'll be consequences were not coming back well please.
So anyway, those laws go into effect on September one,
one of them in all but eleven school districts, requiring
the Ten Commandments be posted. We'll discuss that a little
(04:55):
later in the show You Know.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
What im on.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
One of my favorite parts of the More News is
uh Sky Mike's traffic Report.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
I don't get to listen very.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
Often, but I happen to be able to listen this morning,
and I love the fact that he brings in callers
from different people, and the callers make their case.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Some guy like is Bob over on the hard work
and he's Den, and.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Then there's some guy who's Golden Triangle like they give
themselves names.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
It's hilarious.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
And then and at some point he tells a joke
about being a lifeguard at the end of his call in.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
As a call in listener, I mean, that's just money.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
That is old fashioned community radio, real personalities, real voices,
the whole deal.
Speaker 2 (05:44):
So there's a story in the news. This was a
new term to me.
Speaker 1 (05:50):
Charges had been filed after an eleven year old boy
who was playing ding Dong ditch game is shocking in
East Houston on Saturday night. Now, best I can tell
you run up to the house, knock on the door
(06:11):
and run away. I've never heard that called ding Dong ditch.
Khou with the story.
Speaker 9 (06:20):
This is the case now getting national attention. We have
been telling you that police say the boy rang the
doorbell at a home on Membro at Fidelity in Houston
at East Houston around eleven o'clock Saturday night. Police also
say a man inside that home chased after the kids
and opened fire, hitting the boy in the back. He
later died at the hospital. Investigators tell us that boy
(06:42):
was visiting family in the neighborhood for a birthday party.
Neighbors calling this a tragedy but also a wake up
call for parents.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Kids, which is being kids.
Speaker 7 (06:52):
I feel like we've all played these you know, ding
Dong ditch, all these games, and just to get the
end result of this, I think that's the most shocking.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
I kind of hold both of them account because you know,
you got to keep an eye on your kids. You
gotta chease them and you know, let them know what's
right and what's wrong. And it's wrong to knock on
somebody though, playing a frank.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
That's what I'm talking about. Don't knock on somebody though.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
So we saw that this activity was picking up again
after a little while. And you know, the problem is
where I grew up, and it was not called ding
Dong ditch.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Where I grew up, it was a little different.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
We didn't do it because we probably would have gotten
shot too, because it was out in the country. But
when you live in Houston, where people are feel there
under assault in a war zone day in and day out,
you are frightening them. And people don't like to be frightened.
They have to live on heightened alert because you're doing
(08:02):
this nonsense. And when you go banging on somebody's door
and then running off, you're creating a situation.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
It's far more likely. No, we didn't call it that either.
Speaker 1 (08:14):
It's far more likely that they are under attack and
they're ready to shoot somebody. So expect to get shot,
or just don't do it, be honest, Michael Berry, almost go.
Speaker 4 (08:32):
I tell you so.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
So these young folks.
Speaker 1 (08:38):
Are running up and banging on the door and then
running away, and I suppose at a different time that
might have had a different result.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
But one of them got shot and killed. Did it
kill him? I don't know if it did kill him. Oh,
he did die.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Yeah, And so the question comes, why would somebody shoot
in a situation like this. Apparently they call this game
ding Dong ditch. That's not what I heard it called,
but that's what they call it. Laverne writes.
Speaker 10 (09:12):
Let's see if i'm finding her email. Laverne writes, I
can't get it to pop up. Well, see if I
can find it. Uh, she said there's another. Yeah, yeah,
that's what Laverne writes. Okay, here it is. Laverne writes, Michael,
(09:33):
what you're thinking about is ring a bell run like hell? No, No,
that's not what I heard it called either. Let's see
if I got the other. Somebody else said it's called
something else. Let me see if I can pull this
up another.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
Name I hadn't heard. Uh, let's see. Yeah, No, I
don't I don't know, never heard ding dong ditch. I
never heard ring a bell run like hell.
Speaker 4 (10:03):
So.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
A criminal defense attorney on Fox twenty six says, I
don't see a self defense in the case the kid
was running away.
Speaker 11 (10:12):
Yeah, I don't see any justification there. In Texas, you
have the right to use force if you reasonably believe
that it's immediately necessary to counterforce. Based on the defects
we know so far, it looks like it was simply
a kid ringing the doorbell and leaving the property and
running away. So under those facts, I don't see any
scenario where it's justified as self defense.
Speaker 12 (10:30):
When we're looking at a case like this one, what
if this person were to be inside their house, when
do you have the right to defend yourself?
Speaker 11 (10:39):
So, just like normal self defense, it's reasonably justified immediately
necessary to protect yourself. But there's a caveat that. If
it's at night and the person is in the forcible entry,
so they're committing burglary or activated assault or something like that,
the law presumes that it's reasonable. So if I'm sleeping
in my bed and someone breaks into my house, I
can shoot them to defend myself and defend my property.
The law presumes that it's reasonable at that time. If
(11:01):
you look at the bottom part of the self defuence
law on the Code, it says that you can use
that beforece if something is stolen from you and you
have a reasonable belief that it's not going to be
You're not gonna be able to get it back. But
simply ringing the doorbell and running away, if you know
the person's fleeing the scene, has it taken anything, has
it broken into the house? No forcible entry, there's no threat.
I just don't see self defense.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Well I do, and I think members of the jury would.
And you know what you do, you you start rolling out.
These are the side of it. We don't live in
a safe society, especially if you live in the city.
You know why Rick doak Is is taking people out
to sea houses in Chapel Hill and Waller and Brenham
(11:44):
and Belleville. You know what they're getting away from. It's
not different weather. They're getting away from the trash. And
there are people who are trash. They're complete and utter trash.
We all know, we've all been in a public place
with people that are trash. And if you think what
I'm saying is black, it's not true. I have two
(12:07):
sons that are black. I think they're the greatest thing ever.
But there are people who are trash, and a lot
of them are black.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
That is a fact. There's some white trash.
Speaker 1 (12:17):
There's there's some Hispanic trash, there's some there's some of everything.
But there is no doubt the inner city urban core
is rotten. It is absolute and absolutely rotten. No, Ramon,
that's not what it was called. No, it was called
knock and run.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
That's what it was called.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Knock and runs, the term we're thinking about when you
in the city of Chicago. I've heard fifty three shootings
over the weekend. I've heard fifty four and I've heard
fifty six. It depends on what your cutoff time is
because you got to keep updating, and the weekends are
more active, which is always kind of interesting to me.
Speaker 2 (12:57):
But well, I'll tell you why.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Because the weekends are when they have house parties, and
house parties where a lot of the shootings come down.
So can you imagine Blu Ray having a house party
on Saturday. Oh that's not like fun. And here you
are on Saturday and shots bring out.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Well, this is a story that I love.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
The ending of a man who tried to break into
an Aldan Area home, cuts his arm on the glass,
then bleeds out and dies. I mean, how perfect is that.
The story from.
Speaker 12 (13:27):
Khou Daylight reveals the damage left behind at the stuplex
along Bluebell Road, a shattered window that Houston police say
was smashed by a man trying to break in around
two am Saturday. At first, investigators treated it as a
possible homicide, but later determined the man bled out after
severely cutting his arm on the broken glass. Responding officers
said they found him unconscious, not breathing, and surrounded by blood.
(13:49):
His death has since been ruled accidental. Overnight, the scenes
sworn with police surveillance video from a nearby neighbor, obtained
exclusively by kh You Love and Capture the aftermath, showing
officers surrounding the suspect on the ground, then Emmi inside
the duplex two sisters. They asked me not show their faces,
but invited us in to share what happened. Were you scared?
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Yes, m M.
Speaker 12 (14:13):
The older sister said they feared the man would kill them,
and it all started with him pounding on their back door, shouting.
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Perto here and open the door, open the door, only
open the door.
Speaker 2 (14:22):
She says.
Speaker 12 (14:23):
He then smashed the window, terrified he'd get inside. They
hit in another room and call policemos um just, the
younger sister said. Once everything was over, they imagined the
worst and how bad things could have been if he
had gotten inside.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
The sisters say they don't know who the.
Speaker 12 (14:40):
Man is, and while they were scared and still shaken,
they're also sad about the outcome, reflecting that you can
lose your life in an instant depending on the decisions
you make.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
So in that kind of environment, you don't run up
on that lady's door, not run away and think it's
funny you're getting shot. ABC thirteen with a story two
men shot and a botched drug deal that ended with
the car crashing into the family home. Oh By.
Speaker 13 (15:16):
Que men shot their crashing through a home with a
young family inside. This is how investigators say a drug
deal ended in Northwest Terrorist County Sunday.
Speaker 11 (15:26):
It appears like some illegal narcotics transaction that had gone awry.
Speaker 13 (15:30):
And range cast audio first responders can be heard trying
to help the wounded men. Investigators say that two had
driven to this neighborhood park for a drug deal in
their Chrysler, where they met up with two other men
who were on foot and tried to rob them away.
Speaker 1 (15:52):
They don't tell you the race of the suspects anymore,
but the car that crashed into the house is a
christ of three hundred.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
When they come to politics, do you enjoy a harsh
chemical lactaty where you have came to the right place
because Michael Berry.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Get on him and blow it all out.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
Baby.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
This ding dong dish apparently has a bunch of names
for it, ding dong dish not being the only one,
but that's what it was called in the story.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
According to emails, there are a lot of other a
lot of other terms for it.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
But I received an email from an old friend who
said the problem with this game these days is that
the folks doing it know that the homeowner has a camera,
so they wrapped their head in a shirt and they
(16:54):
wear a hoodie so you can't see their faces. A
group of masked young people late teens banging on the
door at midnight is enough to worry most folks that
it could be an attempted break in. My daughter broke
a little football NERD's heart, so he and his buddies
(17:17):
came around ringing and running a few nights in a row,
little buckshot in his asses. Stop That wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
It not so funny anymore?
Speaker 6 (17:26):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Cameron?
Speaker 1 (17:29):
Another listener says I don't know about this particular issue
in Houston, but I've seen other videos of what the
news is calling a quote game of ding dong ditch.
But in some videos, including one I saw. Three videos
looked to me about twelve to fifteen years old. All
ran up to the porch and each took a turn
(17:51):
kicking the door as hard as they could and run off.
But in one instance, the third kick opened the door.
The boys immediately ran into the house, quickly exited with guns,
oh sorry, with arms full of whatever they could grab.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
This is not a game. This is attempted burglary.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Again, I've not seen any video of the Houston incident,
but the video I saw ain't no game. It's young
boys intending to break into a house. Well, wouldn't that
be interesting if what we got on our hands is
another Trayvon Martin.
Speaker 2 (18:30):
Oh Trayvon. He was just walking home. He liked to
eat M and M's and.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
His favorite reruns with Idream a Genie, Remember how they
remember how they meet Trayvon.
Speaker 2 (18:43):
Such a nice guy. And then you had George Zimmerman.
He was a white guy. Even though it was Hispanic,
it was.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Important to he'd be white, and he was part of
the volunteer neighborhood patrol. Wonder why you need that because
of a bunch of Trayvon Martin's and he's driving your round.
And Trayvon doesn't like to be asked questions, so he
does to George Zimmerman, Zimmerman what he had done to
the bus teacher, bus driver, and I believe his father
(19:10):
and a number of other people. He raged and started
punching and kicking, and George Zimmerman pushed back, and Trayvon
had him dead to rights. He's got his head going.
American history acts on the on the pavement with him
banging his head, busted his head, split it open. So Zimmerman,
(19:30):
left with no choice, kills him. Now, all of a sudden,
we got Barack Obama. I am Trayvon Martin. If I
had a son, he'd look like Trayvon.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
Well.
Speaker 1 (19:42):
I guess that would depend on who the father was, now,
wouldn't it. Larry Sinclair died just a few days ago,
of note, and we had members of Congress wearing hoodies
into Congress because hoodies are not bad.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
Hoodies are good with.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
The head with the top, as they say, activated you
ever noticed that when a crime is being committed by
a young person. They activate the hoodie. Even in the
summer heat, that hoodie is up so you can't see.
There's the reason it's up, And there was a reason.
In Trayvon's case, kid was nothing but trouble. And then
(20:18):
you remember he had precious speaking on his behalf. You
remember her whole thing. Well, she was spashal, wasn't she.
I enjoyed that testimony. Yes, I did praise the Lord.
That was good, right there. Rachel, No, not Rachel. What
was her name, Rachel Gentail or something. I think that's it.
(20:39):
We'll come back to that while Ramon finds it. I'm
not really sure what to do with this story, so
I just put it out there. Two people described as
friends took turns shooting each other while the other wore
a kevlar helmet inside a home in Spring. One of
the men has died after being shot in the head.
(21:00):
Precinct four deputies responded to a call for service in
the twenty three thy seven hundred block of Pennington Hills Drive.
Upon arrival, units found an adult male who sustained what
appeared to be a gunshot wound to the head. YEP,
that's a gunshot wound to the head all right. He
was transported to a hospital, but subsequent subsequently died from
(21:24):
his injuries. The victim was identified as Aaron Prout, thirty four,
from the United Kingdom, who resided in Harris County. The defendant,
Sean O'Donnell, and Prout were said to be playing with
guns and drinking. O'Donnell is also accused of trying to
cover up the incident. He reportedly told the popo that
(21:47):
Prout shot himself. However, a witness told officers that they
have videos showing O'Donnell and Prout playing.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
With the gun.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
If you're willing to let somebody shoot you in the
head to see if the kevlar helmet works or not,
I don't think you were going to discover the cure
for cancer.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
I really don't. I've never really.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Understood people whose Ledger, whose profits and lost Ledger runs
like this. I think I'm gonna try to build my
own bungee cord out of these rubber bands. I'm gonna
try it and jump, and if it works, I would
have created my own bungee cord.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
Yeah, but if it fails, you die.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
I know.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Okay, So the upside is really nothing. The downside is
death or worse. You're a vegetable and you're able to
make that decision. That's a decision. It makes sense to you,
and there are a lot of people like that. I'm
a thrill seeker. No, you're an idiot. You're an idiot,
(23:09):
and at some point the numbers show that a lot
of people like you are going to end up vegetables,
which is far worse than end and up dead from
an incident like that.
Speaker 2 (23:21):
I'm gonna do this really stupid thing.
Speaker 1 (23:23):
I mean, I guess in some way, I'm glad there
are people willing to do this because they provide entertainment
to the rest of us. But you have to wonder
about the thought process. You really have to wonder about
the thought process. Rachel Gentel. Oh, yeah, let's hear from her.
Let's hear from pressure.
Speaker 14 (23:38):
Are you able to read that copy well enough that
you can tell us if it's in fact the same letter?
Speaker 5 (23:46):
No?
Speaker 14 (23:48):
Are you unable to read that at all? Can you
read any of the words on it?
Speaker 2 (23:58):
I don't understand.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
Curses on a recurs I asked somehow to man look
like he looked like a creepy ass.
Speaker 11 (24:08):
Craf Okay, they make sure we got that creepy ass craft.
Speaker 14 (24:14):
Yeah, okay, is that what you recall him saying?
Speaker 10 (24:25):
There are dysfunctional young people incapable of speaking English in
a level that you would want to hire them being
churned out of our communities, and the very people who
should be doing something about it, or the people making
excuses for it and calling the rest of us raise.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
It's a damn shame. It's a damn shame. It's a
damn shame. It's a damn shame.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
I want you know much about Roman history? Did you
know there was a Roman emperor who never aged after
he turned eighteen? His name was Constantine sing On. Let's
(25:13):
say fifty four through fifty six. We'll say fifty four.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
We'll go low.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Shootings over the weekend in Chicago is a very very
dangerous place. Nobody wants to move into Chicago. The people
are calling for the National Guard to come in, and
the mayor, Brandon Johnson is out there looking like a
(25:38):
complete clown speaking at a Labor Day event yesterday, doing
that thing like he's got a booger on the end
of his finger, pointing his finger, now flinging his hand.
Speaker 15 (25:47):
We gonna keep Chicago. Fu Chicago. We're not gonna let
them come in and stop crying. And you just you know,
it's at least third world countries want to be better.
At least they want to be better but don't know
(26:09):
how to get there. But you've got Brandon Johnson. He's
worse to beatle Juice. I didn't think that was possible.
And you know Sheila Jackson, Lee's daughter was involved in
his campaign, her daughter's husband. I forget one or the other.
The point is these are very small circles. Rodney Ellis
hosted Kami Mumdani over the weekend, Who who will be
(26:32):
the next Mayor of New York? And Kami Mumdanni's mother
interestingly had ten.
Speaker 2 (26:41):
I think it was ten.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
I read of her movies financed by Katar or Cutter,
however you want to pronounce it. The same people who
financed the Muslim Brotherhood, and now he is receiving cash.
If you look at the people behind Kami Mumdani and
and what he's doing and what they are setting out
(27:03):
to do, these are people playing with fire.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
But this is what Rodney Ellis does.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
He makes his little alliances with every dysfunctional runt of society.
See what the Democrats did a long time ago is
they said, you know, we can't win elections because whites
make up too much of the population and the traditional
American values. There's only one party, and so for us
(27:29):
to win, we have to cobble together a coalition. So
we've got to keep the blacks separated out. And it's
really sad. It's really sad what they do to do that.
And it's really sad how many blacks are under this
thrall and don't know it. And it's a dead end street.
(27:49):
It's sad. It's sad. I can't tell you how many
blacks have told me about a relative of theirs and
what they have to hear when they go, you know,
for the weekend and some college or high school kid
or preacher or government employee will lecture them on how
can you vote Republican? Oh, it's horrible. You got standing
(28:10):
with demand, and you're standing with demand. You got to
stand with the calls. Don't be a sellout and you go,
you know, sixty one years since the Food Stamp Act,
sixty one years since Johnson said I'll have the n words.
Voting Democrat for two hundred years. And you know what,
maybe he was right. Maybe that's all it took. Maybe
(28:30):
it's the same reason you don't feed the animals at
the zoo, they'll grow dependent on him. Maybe the sucker
succor at the government teep has gone on so long
that the values of private enterprise, the values of dignity
and pride and independence are gone in too many people,
(28:52):
not everyone, but in too many. And now you've created
a beast you can't get off of. So the Democrats
couldn't win with that, though. That wasn't enough. You could
win a seat here, in a seat there. But the
Democrats then had to go get some more groups. So
they tried with Hispanics, but they've largely failed, and that
has grown more and more to be the case. And
(29:14):
that's why they needed new Hispanics that they could control
from socialist countries. And they would bring them in and
they would stash them and they would have them both.
But now they're being kicked out. That's a little hard.
So what else do you do? How do you get
white people? Well, you tell the gays that everybody else
(29:35):
hates them, all right, So they picked off some whites,
some gay whites there all right?
Speaker 2 (29:40):
Got that you got to go after the youth. This
is a long play. It's a religion.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
When you understand it's a religion, you understand, you understand
exactly what's happening. And when that makes sense, when that
goes into effect, everything else seems to make sense. Everything
else seems to make sense. So you got the mayor
of Chicago looking like a clown. You've got the governor
(30:11):
of Illinois, JB. Pritzker looking like a clown because, by golly,
this is clip number two from chest Prep. By golly,
we're not going to let the National Guard come in
and do what they have done in Washington.
Speaker 9 (30:24):
D C.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
Which is make it a place that people can walk
around in safety and security and comfort and peace. Even
DC Mayor Muriel Bowser, who has been a sharp Trump critic,
admits that the Trump surge has reduced crime in the district.
And the Democrats respond by attacking Muriel Bowser.
Speaker 6 (30:49):
And we greatly appreciate the surge of officers that enhance
what MPD has been able to do in this city.
The most significant thing that we are highlighting today is
the area of crime that was most troubling for us
(31:12):
in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 2 (31:14):
Now we have.
Speaker 6 (31:15):
Driven it down over the last years, but I'm gonna
get my glasses so i can make sure I can
see it correctly. But for carjackings, the difference between this period,
this twenty day period of this federal surge and last
year represents a eighty seven percent reduction in carjackings in Washington, DC.
(31:41):
We know that when krjackings go down, when the use
of gun goes down, when homicide or robbery go down,
neighborhoods feel safer and are safer. So this surge has
been important to us for that reason.
Speaker 2 (32:00):
And there you have it.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
The thing about it is, you can convince people to
hate other people. But in all sorts of psychological studies
on it, you can convince people to hate other people,
and when you can control their schooling and their church
and their politics, everything around them becomes an echo chamber.
White he's bad, the poposi is bad, learning is bad.
Speaker 2 (32:27):
All these things is bad, and we as victims.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
But the problem with that is that when people get
a taste of what is better, they want Except for
those who figured out how to win in that bad system,
they don't want it. One of the laws passed during
this legislative session that went into effect yesterday. The laws
(32:54):
go into effect almost all of them, September first. Sometimes
you'll have someone go into a fact of genderary one
of them to the Ten Commandments. In our schools.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
On Roe is in the crossfires. We'll discuss that coming up.
