Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load. The
Michael Very Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
I thought you had to give up your double lot span.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
I can't, Uncle Jack. It's in my blood.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
I'm cut out for all that fighting and loving.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
There you was right keen on being a brain surgeon.
Speaker 5 (00:23):
Why them wrestles don't even lay in the same crowd.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Barrel with the double knuts I have.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
Brain surgeon might vote for days without doing no worthwhile
fighting or loving.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
I'm a spy in the House of Love. I know
the treat.
Speaker 6 (00:51):
That show tream and.
Speaker 5 (00:55):
The recent bipartisan Setate Intelligence Committee report almost a thousand
pages from a Republican that Senate committee laying out all
these counterintelligence concerns.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
The data is too great to ignore.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
So yes, I believe that the president is compromised by
the Russians, and I think that takes a lot of form.
I think he comes through financial entanglements that he is
fighting to become known that the Russians are out and
can hold over him. I also think it comes from
the way they're able to play into his ego and
his strange fascination and coziness with dictators and authoritarians around
the world.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
You remember, Judiciary.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Do you believe the president right now has been an
agent of the Russians?
Speaker 7 (01:28):
Yes, I think there's more evidence than he is.
Speaker 8 (01:30):
Yes, And I think all the arrows point in that direction.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
And I haven't seen a single piece of evidence that
he's not.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
An agent like in the nineteen forties where he had
people who are redsty as an all term like that.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Now other it's working for a foreign patal. He is
working on behalf of the Russians almost how so low
know the dream.
Speaker 9 (02:01):
Joke Jim walk out of a store and he's walking
with ice cream and the question the media asked him,
what kind.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Of ice cream?
Speaker 9 (02:12):
What flavor ice cream do you have? And he's in
the midst of a scandal and he's taking of course,
come on, of course he is. It's the biggest, second
biggest scandal. So the biggest scandal was when they spied
on my campaign. They spied in my campaign.
Speaker 10 (02:28):
There's no real evidence of that.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Of course there is. It's all over the place.
Speaker 9 (02:32):
Leslie So spied to my campaign, and they got can.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I say something?
Speaker 10 (02:36):
You know, this is sixty minutes and we can't put
on things, we can't.
Speaker 9 (02:41):
Verify it on because it's bad for Biden.
Speaker 10 (02:43):
We can't things. We can't very Leslie. They spied to
my campaign. It's fine, totally verified. They spied in my campaign.
Speaker 9 (02:51):
They got caught, and then they went much further than that,
and they got caught. And you will see that, Leslie,
and you know that, but you just don't want to.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Go as a fact. I don't know. Let you take
(03:20):
a deep breath, like you've just ascended a mountain. Like
you are front row of your favorite band at their
biggest concert and you've never had seats like this. You've
just got a field pass to stand next to your
(03:41):
favorite coach of your favorite team in the super Bowl,
the National Championship, whatever that is. You are sitting directly
behind home plate, Game seven, World Series, your favorite team
for life. They've never been there. Your favorite pitch is
starting and he's pitched a six inning shut out thus
(04:04):
far in Euro Up eight nothing. You're at half court
of your favorite basketball team, front row Spike Lee tickets,
and your favorite player just drained the three and turned
and did a Rick Perry air pistol on you. This
is as good as it gets, Folks, take this moment in.
(04:27):
It is easy to think that you're in the middle
of a big battle and a damned no, you're winning.
You've never won like this before. Let's be clear, You've
never had a Republican leader fight for you and win
(04:48):
like this. They don't really fight there, Robert, the Bruce
and Braveheart. They pretend to fight, but when unmasked, you
find out that most of them, almost all of them,
there are some note exceptions, they're doing nothing. Jim Comy
is now releasing videos that look like hostage videos because
(05:09):
his daughter has been fired. If they'll fire Maureen, who
was the controlled opposition in the Seawan Comb's campaign in
the Shawn Combs case, who handle the Epstein case, If
they'll fire Maureen from the Department of Justice, if they
(05:30):
will talk about imprisoning Comy Clapper Brennan Obama. Obama is
so rattled he's making videos with his wife where the
blood has drained out, talking about everybody needs a gay
buddy in their group and discussing whether or not they're
(05:55):
going to get divorced. Adam Schiff is scared to death.
He's going to be prosecuted. Stephen Colbert's show is off
the air. They are they're it or soon to be.
They are finished and they know it, they absolutely know it.
(06:16):
They're scared to death. They are getting punched in every
different direction. This is a raid on all of them.
This was why Trump couldn't win. But surely, surely he
wouldn't do this right And then and then we see
the re emergence of Hunter Biden. Remember how proud Joe
(06:38):
Biden was of Hunter Biden reporting.
Speaker 8 (06:41):
CNNDS up reporting and the Washington Post reporting suggests the
prosecutors think they could they have enough to charge your
son Hunter for tax crimes and a false statement about
a gun purchase. Personally and politically, how do you react
to that?
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Well, first of all, I'm proud of my son. He's
proud of his boy. You've already won, to quote the
Scotti Scheffler as you've already won. And now in a
sit down interview, tell all Hunter Biden is back, He's
(07:16):
back on crack.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
All these damasats say you have to talk about and
realize that people are really upset about illegal immigration. You,
how do you think your hotel room gets cleaned? How
do you think you have fot on your table? Who
do you think washing your dishes? What do you think
does your garden. Who do you think is here by
the here just great? And will that they've figured out
(07:44):
a way to get here because they thought that they
could give themselves in their family better kids. You you
you anything that food on your table?
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Who do you think washes your dishes? I do that right?
How many times do I tell you not drink like
Tracy Bird? And I tip my hand to the keeper
the star and the salt. Just not About a new
(08:26):
app that connects families with teachers and helps them create
miniature schools. It's called pod Schooling. The statement by the
company says they're called Edifi E D E F Y
play of course on education EDIPHI. Edifi's marketplace and logistics
(08:48):
app connects families to preferred teachers at nearby host sites
to launch pods on demand. I'll read that again. Marketplace
and logistics app connects families to preferred teachers at nearby
host sites to launch pods on demand. I have reached
(09:14):
out to them to hopefully get a statement from them
as to what exactly their how exactly that's going to work.
But you don't. In small towns especially, you have folks.
You'll have a woman who maybe her husband works or
(09:36):
she's unable to work because the age of her own kids,
and she will put the word out that she'll babysit
your kid during the day. You can call it education,
you can call it baby city, can call it whatever
you want. And I knew. In fact, I went to
one on very infrequent occasion because I suspect my parents
(09:57):
couldn't afford it. But if my mother had something she
had to be at. I can remember getting dropped off
at this lady's house in west Ron, maybe kind of
the Cove, which is a part of Orange and she
had a modest little house. She was an older lady.
I did not care for this lady because she felt
(10:17):
like nurse Ratchet to me. But looking back, I suspect
she was sort of old school, and being an older woman,
she didn't have quite the patience and she wasn't going
to tolerate your nonsense, and so she set the tone
when you first got there that you were going to
you were going to abide by her rules, and that
(10:42):
would have worked for my mother. I don't know how
much it costs, but it's sort of like Airbnb, which
has turned out not to be as great as everyone
had hoped. But that's really more a function of a
subculture of thugs and goons and entitled people who've ruined it,
who were in a house and then throw a party.
So now you have to go back to the We
(11:03):
really want the people, We really want to know who
we're dealing with before we rent to somebody, because as
it turns out, this is unfortunate. I hope this is
not the first time you hear this. Not every person
is the same. You would gladly rent your home to
some people, and some people you wouldn't dare rent your home.
(11:24):
And those people to whom you would gladly rent your home,
they would rent your home and leave it cleaner than
they found it. They would pay you the agreed upon rate.
They would leave your home and talk to you about
coming back and tell other people nice things about how
you left a candy on their pillow for them and
the place was clean and everything was thought through ahead
(11:46):
of time. Likewise, there are people who feel quite entitled
to rent your place, throw a party, tear it up,
and claim that you were out to get them. Once
the police are called and they're told you can't ever
rent again, we can pretend that's not true. But we
all know that's true. We've all been through some experience
(12:07):
like that at some point before. But that's sort of
it's interesting. Takes us back to where we were before
we set up schools. There was a time before everything
we now know existed. There was a time that if
(12:29):
the mother, if the husband died in war, or it
was attacked by a tiger while he was out hunting
and gathering, the mother had to figure out a way
to she take in extra washing, or take in extra cleaning,
or take in kids and do what it took to
got to get through. And what you're really talking about,
(12:50):
she's going back to where we once were. I've got
a friend and his son got transferred to a different school.
So the school going to he's not going to get
to go to anymore, and he'll be a junior this year,
and the kid does not want to go to the school.
There's there's some bad elements there. And a kid has
(13:11):
worked with his father in his electrical business for years
since he was a little bitty kid, and he said, Dad,
how about I'm gonna work for you when I graduate anyway,
it's what I want to do. How about I start
working for you full time? Now and I do online school,
and so we talked about it and dad was bouncing
ideas off and I said, look, why is he finishing school.
You've said he's not going to college. He said, he's
(13:34):
not going to college. He's sure of that. He loves
working with you. It's a multi generational family business, small business,
and he wants to work with you, just as you
wanted to work with your dad and you didn't go
to college and you turned out well, and there's still
going to be a need for electricians for years and
(13:55):
years and years to come. And he's very good at this.
He works with his dad during sommer, his dad after school,
worst his dad on the weekends. He's a good helper
for you. He's eventually going to grow into taking over
the business and running it. So why not let him
do the homeschooling thing. Because homeschooling now the you know,
(14:16):
I understand every mother says I. You know, I love
the concept of homeschooling. I'm not sure I could teach
my kids. It's a different relationship. You have taken a
different role. Maybe when they're little, but you know, by
the time they get to be a junior in high school,
are you really going to be You know, you have
this image of what a teacher does. Well, now it's
all online. And I know so many kids who are
(14:38):
five or ten years into having gone to quote unquote
homeschool that they did it online. Now I'm not against
the school setting. I'll have to hear about that. I'm not.
But let's be honest. If you actually break down every
minute spent during the educational day from getting to school
(14:59):
to getting home lunch, the time in between classes, and
the time getting Johnny to be quiet and Billy to
quit pulling ponytails, and there's not there's an hour and
a half maybe of actual instruction. Yeah, you can do
this by self instruction. You can the Michael Barry Show.
(15:21):
Please clap, please, please clap. I've noticed one of the
issues that society ladies have taken up that ten years
(15:41):
ago you never heard about. Not to minimize society ladies
taking it up. That's actually how a lot of things
end up getting done because in many cases their husbands
are powerful men. But I have noticed that society ladies,
particularly Republican society ladies, have taken up the issue of
(16:04):
sex trafficking and child trafficking, and I don't remember this before,
relatively new phenomenon and it comes out of nowhere. Not
to say that it's not a real issue. In fact,
it's a huge issue, and it has been for quite
some time, but it has now become openly spoken of
(16:30):
that sex trafficking, including child trafficking, in fact, probably largely
child trafficking, is a major American crisis, specifically as it
relates to Houston being the national hub, which most everyone,
(16:52):
law enforcement, you name it, the folks should do this,
say that Houston is the hub, which makes sense because
these people, these children, largely boys and girls or girls
and boys, are being brought up across the border. So
you've got California, Arizona, and Texas, but particularly Texas, and
(17:14):
then they're farmed out, they're sold, they're distributed like a
Walmart distribution network to the pervs and creeps and goons
around the country who wish to harm them. Now we
also know from the marijuana grove farm in California, they're
also used in addition to the subjects of rape objects
(17:34):
of rape, they're also a twofer. They put them to work.
They put them to work, and they don't have to
pay Social Security payroll. In all the other things have
to abide by labor regulations. A pretty nasty deal. And
this is one of the reasons that those who oppose
the crackdown on I legal immigration oppose it because it's
(17:59):
not there's some random pedo out there doing this. It's
big business. It's an actual commodity bought and sold in
bult for big money, just like drugs. And when this
much money is involved, and this many sophisticated players are involved,
(18:22):
you're not going to just shut down their business. A
disturbing sex trafficking story has made national news out of Houston.
A Honduran national accused of holding a Chinese immigrant captive
in a Harris County trailer. So you've got the guy
from Honduras who comes here illegally in his job is
(18:47):
to keep the Chinese woman and lots of other people
locked up so they can sell her for sex. She
had been locked in a room for five days without
food or water in an East Houston home. Apparently, according
to her, he had punched her, tied her up, sexually
assaulted her. She managed to get out and run down
(19:10):
the street, and a ring camera caught it caught her
him grabbing her and her screeching. He then locked her
in the closet. She was a messeuse from New York
who was offered a position in Houston for more money.
Police believe there is more to this operation than just
(19:32):
him and her. The story from click to Houston Good Evening.
Speaker 7 (19:36):
I'm Danielle Gusman. Some disturbing surveillance video. Take a look
great here. It captures what Harris County investigators say is
a Honduran national carrying a woman down the street as
she screams for help. Well, that man has been charged
with kidnapping, but the Harris County Sheriff's Office says they're
looking for more suspects and more victims.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
They believe it is part of a larger human smuggling
sex trafficking operation. K PROC two's Bridestoberry has the video
you will see only onto tonight.
Speaker 6 (20:01):
That video from here along Elderberry Lane is what led
investigators to ultimately save this woman. She had been held
captive for at least five days inside a mobile home
by a man in the country illegally. It's chilling surveillance video.
A woman screaming for help as she's carried back to
the place she had allegedly been locked up for days,
deprived of food, and sexually assaulted.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
This is a very traumatic event.
Speaker 6 (20:25):
Harris County Sheriff's Lieutenant John Klafka says deputies got called
to the trailer on Monday after neighbors reported a possible
child abduction.
Speaker 11 (20:32):
They went into the trailerhouse and eventually found a closet
in one of the bedrooms that had a board across
the door and it was screwed into the wall.
Speaker 6 (20:42):
In the closet, they found a forty four year old
Chinese immigrant with her hands bound. She told them she
came to Houston from New York promised better pay for
a job in the massage industry, but after first arriving
at an unknown location, someone stole her Chinese passport and
then she got moved to the trailer.
Speaker 11 (20:59):
She was sexually assaulted a couple of times by the suspect,
and the day that she attempted to escape and run away,
that's when he put her in the second bedroom inside
that closet.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
And she has no idea who he is now.
Speaker 6 (21:14):
Deputies arrested twenty two year old hosts Say Karkamo for
kidnapping Honduran national who I says entered the US illegally
in twenty twenty. He claimed he didn't know her, and
his defense attorney tells KPRC two News in a statement,
he's shocked by the serious allegations brought forth against him
and firmly maintains his complete innocence, But investigators believe he's
one piece of a larger trafficking operation.
Speaker 11 (21:36):
Nobody is here for her, so we've got to do
everything we can to ensure that she can trust us
to do our jobs and find the rest of.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
The people that are involved in this.
Speaker 6 (21:46):
It's one alarming example of Houston being one of the
top cities for trafficking in the country. That woman is
now safe, and additional charges against the suspect are possible.
Investigators need your help with any information about other suspects
and victims connected to any of this. You can call
the Sheriff's office or crime stoppers with any information in
Northeast Terrace County on Bryce Newberry, KPRC too News.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Yes, please do call.
Speaker 12 (22:11):
Please do call police about anything related to these sex
trafficking hostage taking schemes that are being conducted by illegal aliens.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Please do call. We're not doing anything about it because
they are illegal aliens, and in this country, illegal aliens
are treated like gods. They were recruited to come here,
they were induced to come here. They were given packages
with phones and money. They were flown in the dead
of night, no cost to them. They were flown around
(22:44):
the United States. They were dropped into communities. They were
placed in public facilities, like a new gymnasium that a
school had just built, so the kids couldn't use it.
They took over veterans were kicked out of their housing
so that these beloved illegal aliens could be placed there.
They were given food, housing, jobs, money, phones. They were
(23:10):
treated as if they were gods. So yes, let's do
please call the local officials and see if we can
get something done about it. This was part of a
strategy and still is. This is a monstrous business that
is not relegated to the cartels. They operate on this
(23:33):
side of the border. They own law enforcement, they owned prosecutors,
they own everybody, the Democrat Party, they owned the media.
This this didn't happen by accident. These the Michael Barry
(23:55):
that don't make me wrong. So some of you got
very indolt as we did along inside us in the
Travels and Travail's and Triumph. I was trying to think
of tr Ward and I found it on the fly
of Nadville Junior of the Nadville Little League All Stars
(24:15):
and their run to Nationals in Williamsport. Well, that is
a special group of kids. They have stayed together, and
there is the thirteen year old competition which doesn't get
nearly as much attention, but they're thirteen year olds, the
same group that just moved up. One of them are
(24:37):
playing in the Southwest Regional in New Mexico. They played
the host team there New Mexico and drummed them thirteen
to one over the weekend, and then they had a
thrilling nine to eight win over Texas East yesterday to
advance to the championship game. If they win this tournament,
(24:59):
they go to in the Junior League World Series. I
wonder how many kids have gone to the Little League
World Series, which is well nigh impossible. You gotta win
your district, you gotta go to Waco, you gotta win
the state. You got to then go to the regional.
You gotta win the regional and then you make it
to Williamsport to compete with teams around the country and
(25:20):
then the world. It's a huge honor for a kid
for the rest of their lives. And those kids did
it now to keep winning like this at thirteen. This
is a really really neat deal. And I'll bet you
the city of Needville is on fire for these kids,
because I know they were last year. All the everybody
(25:42):
has their stickers in the window and go and closing
down or opening up for people to come and watch
the game there, or closing their shop so they can
go and watch the game. And everybody rooting for them.
And what a neat deal. What a neat deal. The
opposite of like Coman Dante, Lena Hadalo wanting to raise
property taxes again, Yeah, I think this pretty well seals
(26:05):
the deal. She's not running for reelection. And here's what
I think is happening. I think that so Rodney. If
she were running for reelection and Rodney wanted her to
be the county judge, he would have kept Erica Lee,
Sheila Jackson, Lee's daughter out of the race. The fact
(26:27):
that Shela Jackson Lee's daughter is in the race means
that Rodney is easing Lena out. It is clear from
her public statements and behavior. She didn't want to be out.
She now feels like a jolted lover. So she's over
there with Ichabod and he's a nerd and we've all
(26:50):
embraced he's a nerd, and nerds are great, and we've
had our revenge of the Nerds moment. She's had a
complete meltdown. Her name is absolute Mud and not Jim
Mudd in this community. Bad mud, not like dusty mud,
but a bad mud. She is not well regarded. She
is scoffed at, laughed at. She is a walking meme.
(27:12):
Somebody sent me the oh it was fatal punawalle. He
sent me the mug that he ordered that we did
of her when she said she was overwhelmed. Remember she
she had to step out of the county commissioner's meeting
because she was overwhelmed. We had a new pope. She
could handle it. She couldn't conduct the meeting. We had
a new pope. She was overwhelmed. Anyway, he said, he
pulled that out. He had some liberals at his house
and he pulled that out to shock them. So so
(27:37):
she's in a very bad way. Rodney has placed her replacement,
and you've got Letitia Plummer. She's a city councilman. She's
not a front runner, but she would have split the
vote further. And then you've got a niece Porker. She's
the eight hundred pound gorilla over here. She's going to
be very tough because every Democrat that doesn't base, that
(27:58):
doesn't vote based on race, is going to vote for her.
She's going to raise money, she's going to get she's
going to get the old Democrat coalition, and she's going
to get some of the black vote. That's true too,
because people aren't gonna want the feeling that it was
handed to Sheila Jackson, Lee's daughter. And then you got Lena.
She's still the county judge. Nutty Hearn squirrel turns there.
She is, well, she has proposed yet another property tax increase.
(28:21):
This time you know what I'll let her take to
fund early childhood education programs. Here's the story from ABC.
Speaker 13 (28:28):
Thirteen and we were first to report this only on thirteen.
Harris County Judge Lena at Dalgo telling our Tom Abrams
in an exclusive interview that she plans to ask for
a one cent property tax increase to fund early childhood education.
Some Harris County leaders, saying tonight that is where they
first heard about it as well.
Speaker 10 (28:47):
Today we went to Commissioner's Court to see if it's
something they could support.
Speaker 6 (28:50):
But as ABC thirteen's dictatorio discovered, outside of what was
on eyewitness news, they don't know anything.
Speaker 11 (28:55):
Else the penny tax.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
In order to keep childcare program in place, Harris County
Judge Lena Hidalgo is turning to pennies and property.
Speaker 11 (29:03):
Would enable us to continue these programs and actually expand
them a little bit.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
Next month's Commissioners Court meeting, Hadago says she'll add to
the agenda a penny proposal to keep a childcare program running.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
She says it's.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
Needed because the federal COVID relief dollars they used to
start it are running out.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
If passed, Dago says it'll cost.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
Homeowners ten more dollars for everye hundred thousand dollars of evaluation,
a proposal she shared with ABC thirteen viewers. They weren't
the only ones who learned it watching it on our news.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
When you called just a little while ago, that's when
we heard about the program.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
It was news reports.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
No Brakings Commissioner Tom Ramsey says he won't support the
tax increase. The proposal, he says, may be difficult, knowing
the county could be facing a multi million dollar budget deficit.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
The first thing that Judge Holdago wants to do is
to raise taxes before we even began the budget process.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
The county has to approve a budget by October. Policy
experts say normally tax increases come up during those discussions.
Speaker 14 (30:02):
I want to do as part of the regular order,
which is to do it as part of the budget
cycle for the year, to go out and just say
we're going to go spend this on some project, because
I want to do it without knowing what the rest
of the budget's going to look like.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
Spokespersons for Commissioners Leslie Brionnis and Adrian Garcia told ABC
thirteen they received no proposal details. We didn't hear back
from Commissioner Rodney Ellis. At this point, it's unclear if
the penny tax increase for childcare has support.
Speaker 14 (30:29):
But there's an old county judge in Central Texas one
time tell me the most important ability for a county
judge is to count to three, and so generally, if
you're going to propose them as you kind of go
around and line up and support.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
Hodogo plans to put this on the agenda for early August.
At pass, it will head to voters in November.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
It was a federal government fund that they got, and
then the COVID fund ran out, and now they're trying
to keep the money going because they surely have some
of their friends that are getting paid on it. Good grief,
it's almost funny.
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load. The
Michael Very Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
I thought you had to give up your double lot span.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
I can't, Uncle Jack. It's in my blood.
Speaker 3 (00:18):
I'm cut out for all that fighting and loving.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
There you was right keen on being a brain surgeon.
Speaker 5 (00:23):
Why them wrestles don't even lay in the same crowd.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Barrel with the double knuts I have.
Speaker 4 (00:27):
Brain surgeon might vote for days without doing no worthwhile
fighting or loving.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
I'm a spy in the House of Love. I know
the treat.
Speaker 6 (00:51):
That show tream and.
Speaker 5 (00:55):
The recent bipartisan Setate Intelligence Committee report almost a thousand
pages from a Republican that Senate committee laying out all
these counterintelligence concerns.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
The data is too great to ignore.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
So yes, I believe that the president is compromised by
the Russians, and I think that takes a lot of form.
I think he comes through financial entanglements that he is
fighting to become known that the Russians are out and
can hold over him. I also think it comes from
the way they're able to play into his ego and
his strange fascination and coziness with dictators and authoritarians around
the world.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
You remember, Judiciary.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Do you believe the president right now has been an
agent of the Russians?
Speaker 7 (01:28):
Yes, I think there's more evidence than he is.
Speaker 8 (01:30):
Yes, And I think all the arrows point in that direction.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
And I haven't seen a single piece of evidence that
he's not.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
An agent like in the nineteen forties where he had
people who are redsty as an all term like that.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
Now other it's working for a foreign patal. He is
working on behalf of the Russians almost how so low
know the dream.
Speaker 9 (02:01):
Joke Jim walk out of a store and he's walking
with ice cream and the question the media asked him,
what kind.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
Of ice cream?
Speaker 9 (02:12):
What flavor ice cream do you have? And he's in
the midst of a scandal and he's taking of course,
come on, of course he is. It's the biggest, second
biggest scandal. So the biggest scandal was when they spied
on my campaign. They spied in my campaign.
Speaker 10 (02:28):
There's no real evidence of that.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Of course there is. It's all over the place.
Speaker 9 (02:32):
Leslie So spied to my campaign, and they got can.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
I say something?
Speaker 10 (02:36):
You know, this is sixty minutes and we can't put
on things, we can't.
Speaker 9 (02:41):
Verify it on because it's bad for Biden.
Speaker 10 (02:43):
We can't things. We can't very Leslie. They spied to
my campaign. It's fine, totally verified. They spied in my campaign.
Speaker 9 (02:51):
They got caught, and then they went much further than that,
and they got caught. And you will see that, Leslie,
and you know that, but you just don't want to.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Go as a fact. I don't know. Let you take
(03:20):
a deep breath, like you've just ascended a mountain. Like
you are front row of your favorite band at their
biggest concert and you've never had seats like this. You've
just got a field pass to stand next to your
(03:41):
favorite coach of your favorite team in the super Bowl,
the National Championship, whatever that is. You are sitting directly
behind home plate, Game seven, World Series, your favorite team
for life. They've never been there. Your favorite pitch is
starting and he's pitched a six inning shut out thus
(04:04):
far in Euro Up eight nothing. You're at half court
of your favorite basketball team, front row Spike Lee tickets,
and your favorite player just drained the three and turned
and did a Rick Perry air pistol on you. This
is as good as it gets, Folks, take this moment in.
(04:27):
It is easy to think that you're in the middle
of a big battle and a damned no, you're winning.
You've never won like this before. Let's be clear, You've
never had a Republican leader fight for you and win
(04:48):
like this. They don't really fight there, Robert, the Bruce
and Braveheart. They pretend to fight, but when unmasked, you
find out that most of them, almost all of them,
there are some note exceptions, they're doing nothing. Jim Comy
is now releasing videos that look like hostage videos because
(05:09):
his daughter has been fired. If they'll fire Maureen, who
was the controlled opposition in the Seawan Comb's campaign in
the Shawn Combs case, who handle the Epstein case, If
they'll fire Maureen from the Department of Justice, if they
(05:30):
will talk about imprisoning Comy Clapper Brennan Obama. Obama is
so rattled he's making videos with his wife where the
blood has drained out, talking about everybody needs a gay
buddy in their group and discussing whether or not they're
(05:55):
going to get divorced. Adam Schiff is scared to death.
He's going to be prosecuted. Stephen Colbert's show is off
the air. They are they're it or soon to be.
They are finished and they know it, they absolutely know it.
(06:16):
They're scared to death. They are getting punched in every
different direction. This is a raid on all of them.
This was why Trump couldn't win. But surely, surely he
wouldn't do this right And then and then we see
the re emergence of Hunter Biden. Remember how proud Joe
(06:38):
Biden was of Hunter Biden reporting.
Speaker 8 (06:41):
CNNDS up reporting and the Washington Post reporting suggests the
prosecutors think they could they have enough to charge your
son Hunter for tax crimes and a false statement about
a gun purchase. Personally and politically, how do you react
to that?
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Well, first of all, I'm proud of my son. He's
proud of his boy. You've already won, to quote the
Scotti Scheffler as you've already won. And now in a
sit down interview, tell all Hunter Biden is back, He's
(07:16):
back on crack.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
All these damasats say you have to talk about and
realize that people are really upset about illegal immigration. You,
how do you think your hotel room gets cleaned? How
do you think you have fot on your table? Who
do you think washing your dishes? What do you think
does your garden. Who do you think is here by
the here just great? And will that they've figured out
(07:44):
a way to get here because they thought that they
could give themselves in their family better kids. You you
you anything that food on your table?
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Who do you think washes your dishes? I do that right?
How many times do I tell you not drink like
Tracy Bird? And I tip my hand to the keeper
the star and the salt. Just not About a new
(08:26):
app that connects families with teachers and helps them create
miniature schools. It's called pod Schooling. The statement by the
company says they're called Edifi E D E F Y
play of course on education EDIPHI. Edifi's marketplace and logistics
(08:48):
app connects families to preferred teachers at nearby host sites
to launch pods on demand. I'll read that again. Marketplace
and logistics app connects families to preferred teachers at nearby
host sites to launch pods on demand. I have reached
(09:14):
out to them to hopefully get a statement from them
as to what exactly their how exactly that's going to work.
But you don't. In small towns especially, you have folks.
You'll have a woman who maybe her husband works or
(09:36):
she's unable to work because the age of her own kids,
and she will put the word out that she'll babysit
your kid during the day. You can call it education,
you can call it baby city, can call it whatever
you want. And I knew. In fact, I went to
one on very infrequent occasion because I suspect my parents
(09:57):
couldn't afford it. But if my mother had something she
had to be at. I can remember getting dropped off
at this lady's house in west Ron, maybe kind of
the Cove, which is a part of Orange and she
had a modest little house. She was an older lady.
I did not care for this lady because she felt
(10:17):
like nurse Ratchet to me. But looking back, I suspect
she was sort of old school, and being an older woman,
she didn't have quite the patience and she wasn't going
to tolerate your nonsense, and so she set the tone
when you first got there that you were going to
you were going to abide by her rules, and that
(10:42):
would have worked for my mother. I don't know how
much it costs, but it's sort of like Airbnb, which
has turned out not to be as great as everyone
had hoped. But that's really more a function of a
subculture of thugs and goons and entitled people who've ruined it,
who were in a house and then throw a party.
So now you have to go back to the We
(11:03):
really want the people, We really want to know who
we're dealing with before we rent to somebody, because as
it turns out, this is unfortunate. I hope this is
not the first time you hear this. Not every person
is the same. You would gladly rent your home to
some people, and some people you wouldn't dare rent your home.
(11:24):
And those people to whom you would gladly rent your home,
they would rent your home and leave it cleaner than
they found it. They would pay you the agreed upon rate.
They would leave your home and talk to you about
coming back and tell other people nice things about how
you left a candy on their pillow for them and
the place was clean and everything was thought through ahead
(11:46):
of time. Likewise, there are people who feel quite entitled
to rent your place, throw a party, tear it up,
and claim that you were out to get them. Once
the police are called and they're told you can't ever
rent again, we can pretend that's not true. But we
all know that's true. We've all been through some experience
(12:07):
like that at some point before. But that's sort of
it's interesting. Takes us back to where we were before
we set up schools. There was a time before everything
we now know existed. There was a time that if
(12:29):
the mother, if the husband died in war, or it
was attacked by a tiger while he was out hunting
and gathering, the mother had to figure out a way
to she take in extra washing, or take in extra cleaning,
or take in kids and do what it took to
got to get through. And what you're really talking about,
(12:50):
she's going back to where we once were. I've got
a friend and his son got transferred to a different school.
So the school going to he's not going to get
to go to anymore, and he'll be a junior this year,
and the kid does not want to go to the school.
There's there's some bad elements there. And a kid has
(13:11):
worked with his father in his electrical business for years
since he was a little bitty kid, and he said, Dad,
how about I'm gonna work for you when I graduate anyway,
it's what I want to do. How about I start
working for you full time? Now and I do online school,
and so we talked about it and dad was bouncing
ideas off and I said, look, why is he finishing school.
You've said he's not going to college. He said, he's
(13:34):
not going to college. He's sure of that. He loves
working with you. It's a multi generational family business, small business,
and he wants to work with you, just as you
wanted to work with your dad and you didn't go
to college and you turned out well, and there's still
going to be a need for electricians for years and
(13:55):
years and years to come. And he's very good at this.
He works with his dad during sommer, his dad after school,
worst his dad on the weekends. He's a good helper
for you. He's eventually going to grow into taking over
the business and running it. So why not let him
do the homeschooling thing. Because homeschooling now the you know,
(14:16):
I understand every mother says I. You know, I love
the concept of homeschooling. I'm not sure I could teach
my kids. It's a different relationship. You have taken a
different role. Maybe when they're little, but you know, by
the time they get to be a junior in high school,
are you really going to be You know, you have
this image of what a teacher does. Well, now it's
all online. And I know so many kids who are
(14:38):
five or ten years into having gone to quote unquote
homeschool that they did it online. Now I'm not against
the school setting. I'll have to hear about that. I'm not.
But let's be honest. If you actually break down every
minute spent during the educational day from getting to school
(14:59):
to getting home lunch, the time in between classes, and
the time getting Johnny to be quiet and Billy to
quit pulling ponytails, and there's not there's an hour and
a half maybe of actual instruction. Yeah, you can do
this by self instruction. You can the Michael Barry Show.
(15:21):
Please clap, please, please clap. I've noticed one of the
issues that society ladies have taken up that ten years
(15:41):
ago you never heard about. Not to minimize society ladies
taking it up. That's actually how a lot of things
end up getting done because in many cases their husbands
are powerful men. But I have noticed that society ladies,
particularly Republican society ladies, have taken up the issue of
(16:04):
sex trafficking and child trafficking, and I don't remember this before,
relatively new phenomenon and it comes out of nowhere. Not
to say that it's not a real issue. In fact,
it's a huge issue, and it has been for quite
some time, but it has now become openly spoken of
(16:30):
that sex trafficking, including child trafficking, in fact, probably largely
child trafficking, is a major American crisis, specifically as it
relates to Houston being the national hub, which most everyone,
(16:52):
law enforcement, you name it, the folks should do this,
say that Houston is the hub, which makes sense because
these people, these children, largely boys and girls or girls
and boys, are being brought up across the border. So
you've got California, Arizona, and Texas, but particularly Texas, and
(17:14):
then they're farmed out, they're sold, they're distributed like a
Walmart distribution network to the pervs and creeps and goons
around the country who wish to harm them. Now we
also know from the marijuana grove farm in California, they're
also used in addition to the subjects of rape objects
(17:34):
of rape, they're also a twofer. They put them to work.
They put them to work, and they don't have to
pay Social Security payroll. In all the other things have
to abide by labor regulations. A pretty nasty deal. And
this is one of the reasons that those who oppose
the crackdown on I legal immigration oppose it because it's
(17:59):
not there's some random pedo out there doing this. It's
big business. It's an actual commodity bought and sold in
bult for big money, just like drugs. And when this
much money is involved, and this many sophisticated players are involved,
(18:22):
you're not going to just shut down their business. A
disturbing sex trafficking story has made national news out of Houston.
A Honduran national accused of holding a Chinese immigrant captive
in a Harris County trailer. So you've got the guy
from Honduras who comes here illegally in his job is
(18:47):
to keep the Chinese woman and lots of other people
locked up so they can sell her for sex. She
had been locked in a room for five days without
food or water in an East Houston home. Apparently, according
to her, he had punched her, tied her up, sexually
assaulted her. She managed to get out and run down
(19:10):
the street, and a ring camera caught it caught her
him grabbing her and her screeching. He then locked her
in the closet. She was a messeuse from New York
who was offered a position in Houston for more money.
Police believe there is more to this operation than just
(19:32):
him and her. The story from click to Houston Good Evening.
Speaker 7 (19:36):
I'm Danielle Gusman. Some disturbing surveillance video. Take a look
great here. It captures what Harris County investigators say is
a Honduran national carrying a woman down the street as
she screams for help. Well, that man has been charged
with kidnapping, but the Harris County Sheriff's Office says they're
looking for more suspects and more victims.
Speaker 1 (19:53):
They believe it is part of a larger human smuggling
sex trafficking operation. K PROC two's Bridestoberry has the video
you will see only onto tonight.
Speaker 6 (20:01):
That video from here along Elderberry Lane is what led
investigators to ultimately save this woman. She had been held
captive for at least five days inside a mobile home
by a man in the country illegally. It's chilling surveillance video.
A woman screaming for help as she's carried back to
the place she had allegedly been locked up for days,
deprived of food, and sexually assaulted.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
This is a very traumatic event.
Speaker 6 (20:25):
Harris County Sheriff's Lieutenant John Klafka says deputies got called
to the trailer on Monday after neighbors reported a possible
child abduction.
Speaker 11 (20:32):
They went into the trailerhouse and eventually found a closet
in one of the bedrooms that had a board across
the door and it was screwed into the wall.
Speaker 6 (20:42):
In the closet, they found a forty four year old
Chinese immigrant with her hands bound. She told them she
came to Houston from New York promised better pay for
a job in the massage industry, but after first arriving
at an unknown location, someone stole her Chinese passport and
then she got moved to the trailer.
Speaker 11 (20:59):
She was sexually assaulted a couple of times by the suspect,
and the day that she attempted to escape and run away,
that's when he put her in the second bedroom inside
that closet.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
And she has no idea who he is now.
Speaker 6 (21:14):
Deputies arrested twenty two year old hosts Say Karkamo for
kidnapping Honduran national who I says entered the US illegally
in twenty twenty. He claimed he didn't know her, and
his defense attorney tells KPRC two News in a statement,
he's shocked by the serious allegations brought forth against him
and firmly maintains his complete innocence, But investigators believe he's
one piece of a larger trafficking operation.
Speaker 11 (21:36):
Nobody is here for her, so we've got to do
everything we can to ensure that she can trust us
to do our jobs and find the rest of.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
The people that are involved in this.
Speaker 6 (21:46):
It's one alarming example of Houston being one of the
top cities for trafficking in the country. That woman is
now safe, and additional charges against the suspect are possible.
Investigators need your help with any information about other suspects
and victims connected to any of this. You can call
the Sheriff's office or crime stoppers with any information in
Northeast Terrace County on Bryce Newberry, KPRC too News.
Speaker 1 (22:09):
Yes, please do call.
Speaker 12 (22:11):
Please do call police about anything related to these sex
trafficking hostage taking schemes that are being conducted by illegal aliens.
Speaker 1 (22:21):
Please do call. We're not doing anything about it because
they are illegal aliens, and in this country, illegal aliens
are treated like gods. They were recruited to come here,
they were induced to come here. They were given packages
with phones and money. They were flown in the dead
of night, no cost to them. They were flown around
(22:44):
the United States. They were dropped into communities. They were
placed in public facilities, like a new gymnasium that a
school had just built, so the kids couldn't use it.
They took over veterans were kicked out of their housing
so that these beloved illegal aliens could be placed there.
They were given food, housing, jobs, money, phones. They were
(23:10):
treated as if they were gods. So yes, let's do
please call the local officials and see if we can
get something done about it. This was part of a
strategy and still is. This is a monstrous business that
is not relegated to the cartels. They operate on this
(23:33):
side of the border. They own law enforcement, they owned prosecutors,
they own everybody, the Democrat Party, they owned the media.
This this didn't happen by accident. These the Michael Barry
(23:55):
that don't make me wrong. So some of you got
very indolt as we did along inside us in the
Travels and Travail's and Triumph. I was trying to think
of tr Ward and I found it on the fly
of Nadville Junior of the Nadville Little League All Stars
(24:15):
and their run to Nationals in Williamsport. Well, that is
a special group of kids. They have stayed together, and
there is the thirteen year old competition which doesn't get
nearly as much attention, but they're thirteen year olds, the
same group that just moved up. One of them are
(24:37):
playing in the Southwest Regional in New Mexico. They played
the host team there New Mexico and drummed them thirteen
to one over the weekend, and then they had a
thrilling nine to eight win over Texas East yesterday to
advance to the championship game. If they win this tournament,
(24:59):
they go to in the Junior League World Series. I
wonder how many kids have gone to the Little League
World Series, which is well nigh impossible. You gotta win
your district, you gotta go to Waco, you gotta win
the state. You got to then go to the regional.
You gotta win the regional and then you make it
to Williamsport to compete with teams around the country and
(25:20):
then the world. It's a huge honor for a kid
for the rest of their lives. And those kids did
it now to keep winning like this at thirteen. This
is a really really neat deal. And I'll bet you
the city of Needville is on fire for these kids,
because I know they were last year. All the everybody
(25:42):
has their stickers in the window and go and closing
down or opening up for people to come and watch
the game there, or closing their shop so they can
go and watch the game. And everybody rooting for them.
And what a neat deal. What a neat deal. The
opposite of like Coman Dante, Lena Hadalo wanting to raise
property taxes again, Yeah, I think this pretty well seals
(26:05):
the deal. She's not running for reelection. And here's what
I think is happening. I think that so Rodney. If
she were running for reelection and Rodney wanted her to
be the county judge, he would have kept Erica Lee,
Sheila Jackson, Lee's daughter out of the race. The fact
(26:27):
that Shela Jackson Lee's daughter is in the race means
that Rodney is easing Lena out. It is clear from
her public statements and behavior. She didn't want to be out.
She now feels like a jolted lover. So she's over
there with Ichabod and he's a nerd and we've all
(26:50):
embraced he's a nerd, and nerds are great, and we've
had our revenge of the Nerds moment. She's had a
complete meltdown. Her name is absolute Mud and not Jim
Mudd in this community. Bad mud, not like dusty mud,
but a bad mud. She is not well regarded. She
is scoffed at, laughed at. She is a walking meme.
(27:12):
Somebody sent me the oh it was fatal punawalle. He
sent me the mug that he ordered that we did
of her when she said she was overwhelmed. Remember she
she had to step out of the county commissioner's meeting
because she was overwhelmed. We had a new pope. She
could handle it. She couldn't conduct the meeting. We had
a new pope. She was overwhelmed. Anyway, he said, he
pulled that out. He had some liberals at his house
and he pulled that out to shock them. So so
(27:37):
she's in a very bad way. Rodney has placed her replacement,
and you've got Letitia Plummer. She's a city councilman. She's
not a front runner, but she would have split the
vote further. And then you've got a niece Porker. She's
the eight hundred pound gorilla over here. She's going to
be very tough because every Democrat that doesn't base, that
(27:58):
doesn't vote based on race, is going to vote for her.
She's going to raise money, she's going to get she's
going to get the old Democrat coalition, and she's going
to get some of the black vote. That's true too,
because people aren't gonna want the feeling that it was
handed to Sheila Jackson, Lee's daughter. And then you got Lena.
She's still the county judge. Nutty Hearn squirrel turns there.
She is, well, she has proposed yet another property tax increase.
(28:21):
This time you know what I'll let her take to
fund early childhood education programs. Here's the story from ABC.
Speaker 13 (28:28):
Thirteen and we were first to report this only on thirteen.
Harris County Judge Lena at Dalgo telling our Tom Abrams
in an exclusive interview that she plans to ask for
a one cent property tax increase to fund early childhood education.
Some Harris County leaders, saying tonight that is where they
first heard about it as well.
Speaker 10 (28:47):
Today we went to Commissioner's Court to see if it's
something they could support.
Speaker 6 (28:50):
But as ABC thirteen's dictatorio discovered, outside of what was
on eyewitness news, they don't know anything.
Speaker 11 (28:55):
Else the penny tax.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
In order to keep childcare program in place, Harris County
Judge Lena Hidalgo is turning to pennies and property.
Speaker 11 (29:03):
Would enable us to continue these programs and actually expand
them a little bit.
Speaker 4 (29:07):
Next month's Commissioners Court meeting, Hadago says she'll add to
the agenda a penny proposal to keep a childcare program running.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
She says it's.
Speaker 4 (29:14):
Needed because the federal COVID relief dollars they used to
start it are running out.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
If passed, Dago says it'll cost.
Speaker 4 (29:19):
Homeowners ten more dollars for everye hundred thousand dollars of evaluation,
a proposal she shared with ABC thirteen viewers. They weren't
the only ones who learned it watching it on our news.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
When you called just a little while ago, that's when
we heard about the program.
Speaker 1 (29:35):
It was news reports.
Speaker 4 (29:37):
No Brakings Commissioner Tom Ramsey says he won't support the
tax increase. The proposal, he says, may be difficult, knowing
the county could be facing a multi million dollar budget deficit.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
The first thing that Judge Holdago wants to do is
to raise taxes before we even began the budget process.
Speaker 4 (29:55):
The county has to approve a budget by October. Policy
experts say normally tax increases come up during those discussions.
Speaker 14 (30:02):
I want to do as part of the regular order,
which is to do it as part of the budget
cycle for the year, to go out and just say
we're going to go spend this on some project, because
I want to do it without knowing what the rest
of the budget's going to look like.
Speaker 4 (30:16):
Spokespersons for Commissioners Leslie Brionnis and Adrian Garcia told ABC
thirteen they received no proposal details. We didn't hear back
from Commissioner Rodney Ellis. At this point, it's unclear if
the penny tax increase for childcare has support.
Speaker 14 (30:29):
But there's an old county judge in Central Texas one
time tell me the most important ability for a county
judge is to count to three, and so generally, if
you're going to propose them as you kind of go
around and line up and support.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
Hodogo plans to put this on the agenda for early August.
At pass, it will head to voters in November.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
It was a federal government fund that they got, and
