Speaker 2 (00:57):
Our message to black Americans to is this, we want
you what we want for every American. Safe neighborhoods, good jobs,
clean streets, a country where you are judged based on
the content of your character, not the color of your
skin or your political beliefs.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
On you and watching that and who's in charge of

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Our message to gay Americans tonight is this, You're free
to marry who you want, if you want, without the
government standing in your way one small, but that doesn't
mean that boys get to compete with girls in girls' sports,
or you do genital mutilation and chemical castration on our children.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
H I don't mutibright these United States. We're the ones

Speaker 2 (02:25):
You get ahead in the United States with your own
hard work, your own commitment, your own dedication, and that
you know what you are free to speak your mind
at every step of the way.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
That is the American dream.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
That is what we are running too, and that is
what we get when we send Donald Trump back to
the White House.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
Officials in both Montgomery and Sanjasino Counties have issued evacuation
orders over the growing wildfire in the Sam Houston National Forest.
The Pauline Road fire has burned two thousand acres so
far and is only about ten percent contained. Is believed
that the fire started burning northwest of FM seventeen to
(03:06):
twenty five and also Brooks Road in San Jack County,
but has now spread into parts of Montgomery County, forcing
mandatory evacuations in some areas. Montgomery County Judge Mark Keo
wrote on Facebook at around five point thirty quote, Overnight,
fire crews have made significant efforts to protect structures and
have successfully successfully protected the area in the path of
(03:29):
this massive fire. No structures have received any damage as
of this report. Current size of the fire is two
thousand acres with ten percent containment. Starting at daybreak, several
air tankers, dozers, and additional firefighters will be working hard
to bring this blaze under control and gain containment. The
mandatory evacuations issued in both Montgomery and Sanderseno Counties remain
(03:53):
in place. The weather today will not be on our side.
We expect significant wind gusts today with low humidity and
warmer temperatures. This will make firefighting difficult. We are under
a red flag warning today as a result of the forecast,
but the entire counties, resources and state assets are working
around the clock to protect property and people.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
We are blessed with the best and the men and women.
Speaker 6 (04:18):
Of our fire departments in law enforcement agencies proved it
yesterday and overnight. They work tirelessly to assist residents evacuate,
protect their homes, and wrangle cattle and horses to safety.
You got to wrangle the cattle and horses. It's an
important part, is the wrangling. If there is a San
(04:39):
Jacinto or Montgomery County fire law enforcement or political figure
who could call in and give us an update, I
will put in a calder in the break to Mark Keo,
the Montgomery County judge.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Who's the sty Ceno judge? County judge? Do you remember here?
Who judge Reinhold? Oh?
Speaker 6 (05:00):
Okay, okay, good, yeah, all right, we're doing the breakfast club.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Okay, all right, it.
Speaker 6 (05:08):
Does is Molly Ringwell, his sidekick, his police chief. The
Houston Cougs tip off today at one o'clock as they
take on the number sixteen seed Southern Illinois Edwardsville. They're
nearly thirty point favorites, but players have the good sense to.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Tell Khou that they are.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
Not looking past these cougars from up north.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
That's right.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
It is Cougars versus cougars. Fifty one second clip give
us a ding with every cliche A we're gonna take
it one play at.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
A time, are we gonna? Okay, here we go.
Speaker 7 (05:44):
The Cougar's hitting the floor at eleven forty five am
for practice. A key for this number one seed, the
health of number thirteen Juwan Roberts on the court, running,
cutting and shooting. And while we did see him lace
up this brace, he claims he is one after missing
(06:05):
most of the Big.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Twelve tournament with that ankle injury.
Speaker 7 (06:09):
The spirit of Houston hitting all the right notes, the
cougar's body language, same as always overlooking an opponent, even
a number sixteen seed is not part of this Houston culture.
These players do not and will not.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Look ahead like you, Asny. That's that's one thing you
shouldn't do. You don't want to look ahead.
Speaker 7 (06:31):
You know, whoever we got to find, we just want
to focus on en same.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
You know, we think about how special it was that
a team played in Houston and then was able to
come directly across the street to play what a kim
Olajawan and was able to play in the city that
had supported him as a college player. And he's from Nigeria.
(07:01):
It's not like his neighbors were able to come over
and watch, but it was special to get to do that.
Think of Earl Campbell and the Oilers being able to
bring him down the road to play in Houston, and
all these folks that had supported him, rooted for him
(07:22):
as a Longhorn. That's a special time for people that
got to watch him play those amazing seasons at the
University of Texas and then come from Austin down to
Houston and play again. Because so often, you know you're
a star at the University of Houston and you end
up playing in Buffalo or New Jersey.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
And poor Clyde.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
Clyde burned through most of his productive years of basketball,
phenomenal years playing in Portland for.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
People he didn't know. How cool would that have.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
Been if it had worked out that he could have
played his first years here in Houston, that would have
been pretty neat. I mean, we had Ralph Sampson. Ralph
Sampson had no connection in the eighties to Houston. And
I understand you're a big boy. That's that's the way
the game is played. But it's a neat thing when
somebody can play in front of their home team, their
(08:18):
home crowd, their their neighbors when they grow a couple
of those Miami players that went to the Dolphins.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
But it doesn't happen much the Lake lack Aberry Shop.
Speaker 8 (08:33):
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I too
about you.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
Now, Hello and welcome to the greatest time of the year.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
That's right, it is the madness of March and we're
ready to roll with the biggest game of the week.
That's right.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
It's the Republicans versus the Democrats in Washington, d C.
My name is Billy McCracken, along with my partner Johnny
Blue Balls, and.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Boy do we have a hatch up for you today.
Biggest to the week. Johnny, Well, you got that right, Billy.
What I'd call this is the collusionist versus.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
The capitalist and I can't wait to see.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
What happens here on the court today. All right, we'll
get to the action in just a moment. The first
we break for the African American National anthem. Oh see, can.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
You see how it's easy on me?
Speaker 9 (09:28):
I get all the scholarship reparations are free. Oh great,
HOWE live in this coh tree of the break and
(09:50):
free to whom.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
All right, we're about ready to tip this baby off.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
Coming to center court for the Republican We have Elon
Musk for the Democrats, Nancy Pelosi.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
Well, I think in talking to the Democrats Sideline, they're
hoping that Pelosi has enough repemisd and mephrom and that
she can outjump Musk.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
We'll have to see here. Pelosi actually wins.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
The tip passes to Clinton, Clinton Obama, Obama, back to Clinton,
Clinton to Obama.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
What's going on here? Pelosi back with the ball, passes
to Biden.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Biden not sure what to do with it, loops it
back to Kamala's stolen my.
Speaker 10 (10:25):
Elon elon driving to the basket, Ron swams it hooy.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
Elon coming from outer space on that one, billy, ooh,
and what do we have here?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Looks like our good friend Team Waltz is down with
an injury. Let's go to the sideline.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Oh if my haammy, god, if my tender little hammoo.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
That sounds bad. Time for a break here.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
When we come back, it's freeloader free throws sponsored by
the Democrats.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Who's gonna win? Probably not you. You'll be right back.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
Outs Sheila Jackson Lee and Sylvester Turner.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Last year.
Speaker 6 (11:03):
Amanda Edwards is running in the eighteenth congressional district. During
the twenty twenty four primary, Amanda Edwards raised just over
one point six million dollars, while Sheila Jackson Lee raised
five hundred and fifty three thousand dollars, but she was
running for mayor during most of the campaign. Sylvester Turner
raised six hundred and fifty two thousand for the special
(11:25):
election to fill she Jack's seat.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
From the Chronicle quote, I.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
Think the people of the eighteenth Congressional District know that
I will fight for what I believe in, and that
means I will fight for them. This will be the
third time Edwards has entered her name to run in
the congressional district. She primari Jackson Lee in twenty twenty
four for the spot, and following Jackson Lee's death in July,
Edwards found herself up against Turner for the Democrat nomination
for the position. Edwards ran to represent Texas in the
(11:50):
US Senate in twenty twenty but ultimately lost the Democrat nomination.
Senator John Cornan ultimately won the race. Edwards also planned
to run in the Houston mayor's race, but dropped out
to run for Jackson Lee's position after she announced her
own campaign for mayor. I happened to know what happened
there Van Edwards was running for mayor. She wasn't going
(12:11):
to win. Whitmyer was but she was pulling away votes
from Sheila Jackson Leine, and in early polling she was
pulling significant votes from Sheila Jacksonline. She was virtually assuring
that Sheila Jackson Lee wouldn't get the traction she would
need to win that race.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
So a deal was cut.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
She would run for Sheila's seat, and that she'd get
out of the mayor's race, and that Sheila would endorse
her for mayor. Never trust Sheila Jacksonlye, but she did.
It was a mistake. They were not friends or allies.
(12:53):
Remember she's running for mayor knowing good and well, Sheila's
running for mayor. They were by no means good buddies.
She is a smart, very attractive, very well spoken, accomplished lawyer.
She was with a downtown law firm, Bracewell and Patterson
for a while. I don't know what she does professionally anymore,
(13:15):
but she has strikingly good looks when she walks into
a room, and people like her. You can't help but
like her. She has a perpetual smile. She's smart. She's
not a firebrand activist type. She was getting a little
(13:36):
traction in that mayor's race. I know some folks who
were supporting her, who are not necessarily particularly partisan but
typically support Republican candidates. There is a certain strain of
well to do, well meaning Episcopalian, Presbyterian type white men
in Houston that have this idea every election in municipal
(13:59):
race is that, well, probably going to end up with
a Democrat and probably going to be, you know, some
crazy black Democrat. So what we'll do is we'll support
the person that's nice that we kind of like who
happens to be black. And that way, the blacks will
vote for this person and will put them in there,
but they'll be reasonable, so it's the least worse. It's
(14:21):
we'll have an addict to hide in when the bad
guys come. So she was getting some support from this
crowd and others. There are blacks who like her. There
are independent blacks who really like her because she happens
to be black, but she doesn't feel the need to
identify as a BLM spokesman. So in any case, the
(14:44):
deal was cut and she stepped out of the mayor's race,
and that opened the lane for Sheila to consolidate a
lot of those votes. And although they do not have
complete overlap in their support by any means. So so
then Amanda Edwards goes from the mayor's race to the
congressional race. And this sort of feels weird on the
west side of town, but this sort of thing is done,
(15:05):
particularly in seats that are typically considered black seats. People
move around and it's not even nobody looks a scance
at it. So she is campaigning in earnest for the
congressional seat. Sheila, as you'll remember, lost in November on
a Saturday. She had until Monday at five pm to
determine whether she was running for the congressional for the
(15:27):
congressional race, and she said she would. That race had
already sort of begun and that would be a primary
race in March a few months hints. And even though
Sheila had burned through her cash running for mayor, she'd
been in the news affair amount because of running for mayor,
and so she was in a strong position. Then of course,
(15:50):
Sheila dies and Sylvester Turner runs. So Amanda Edwards gets
into that race for her unexpired seat and Sevester Turner.
Frant I think she'd be the best of the choices,
but the fact that somebody like me thinks she'd be
a good congressman tells you that the powers of be
won't ever let her.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
The interialist, the butterflies with the Michael Berry.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
They're all Duncans. And you know Duncan means yo Yo.
Speaker 6 (16:28):
A BLM activist who pushed for criminal justice reform, was
granted clemency by Washington State Governor Jay Insley, propped up
by the Democrats as a successfully rehabilitated criminal. Well, he's
been arrested and charged with eleven felony drug and gun
charges after a sixteen month investigation. Fifty four year old
(16:50):
Percy Levy has spent seventeen years in prison for robbing
a drug house in twenty nineteen. He was granted clemency
by the Democrat. Gun investigators found powder, cocaine, rock cocaine,
and enough ventanyl to kill nearly two hundred and eighty
thousand people. They also found a loaded handgun. CARO TV
(17:11):
in Seattle reports, Well, here's that report.
Speaker 8 (17:15):
Fifty four year old Percy Levy now held on one
point five million dollars bail in facing eleven felony drug
and gun charges after a sixteen month undercover investigation by
the Snohomish Regional Drug Task Force. This is Levy pictured
with former Governor Jay Ininsley, who granted clemency to Levy
in twenty nineteen after spending seventeen years in prison for
robbing a drug house. Levy was arrested last Thursday during
(17:38):
a traffic stop on seventy fifth Street Southeast in Averette.
According to court documents, at Levy's home on ninety third
Street Southeast, investigators found powder cocaine, rock cocaine, and enough
ventanyl to kill nearly two hundred and eighty thousand people.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
They also found a loaded handgun.
Speaker 7 (17:55):
Doesn't seem like he's changed his relationships while he was
in an and headed back into the same circle, which
is obviously troubling.
Speaker 8 (18:04):
Since givin clemency, Levy has worked on the board of
Black Lives Matter Seattle, King County and as a community
outreach specialist for Washington Defender Association, dedicating himself to criminal
justice reform. He's also the founder of Redemption Auto and
Auto Vendor in Everett, and those websites highlight Levy's clemency
and reform efforts.
Speaker 11 (18:25):
And when we do things like pardon people or we
let people off the hook that could look like rewarding
bad behavior.
Speaker 8 (18:33):
Frederick Bltzen is with the Snowhomis County Black Heritage Committee
and for many years has worked with people who have
gone through the criminal justice system.
Speaker 11 (18:41):
I think there needs to be more thought around who
you give this second chance to right? What have you
done to demonstrate that you're moving in a direction where
you're going to be a contributing member of society.
Speaker 8 (18:58):
Kiro seven also received a state and from Washington Defender
Association saying, we know very little about the recent arrest
of Percy Levy, a valued employee and member of the community.
Mister Levy, like all persons, is presumed innocent and has
the right to counsel and to a fair process. And
we also called an emailed Black Lives Matter Seattle King County,
(19:18):
where Levy was previously listed as the treasurer, but we
did not hear back.
Speaker 6 (19:24):
You thought about this for a long time and not
spoken it. Let me flesh out a theory here he
used the phrase a contributing member of society.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
We talk about this.
Speaker 6 (19:36):
I hear this used in the criminal justice since quite often,
is that we need to reform bad guys by making
them contributing members. They need to be good guys, and
it really doesn't align with my core beliefs. There is
no need to be good. But more importantly than that,
(20:03):
I think that this is why some bad guys get
insufficiently punished for their crimes, is because we tend to
take out our accounting software and look at the ledger
and say, well, yeah, this guy did bad things. We
also did some good things over here. That's not the point.
(20:25):
If you get raped by a fellow and his mama
comes in, and his girlfriend comes in, and his pastor
comes in, and his neighbors come in and tell you
of the good dude, good deeds he did. Does that
in any way lesson the pain the shame of the rape.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Well, no, it doesn't.
Speaker 6 (20:48):
And so I'm always concerned that there is almost this
idea that you can balance these things out with goodness.
Just don't do bad things. That's it. Because when you
do do bad things, you can move up into the
mountains and never bother a soul and not be a
quote contributing member of society. Or you can lay on
(21:11):
your couch all day if you can get someone else
to bring you the cheetos and you don't bother anybody
to get it. It is the moment at which you
breach the piece that we all enjoy, that is the
moment that you should be punished for blm antifa, la rasa.
They're all the same, all these leftist grifters at the top,
(21:35):
all of them leftist grifters like this dude. They love
to have people like this guy, bad guy criminals who
they can make into a good guy, who are out
there saying, you know, let's give people a second chance.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
This guy got a second chance.
Speaker 6 (21:55):
He got a second chance, and look at what he
did with it.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
I honestly believe.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
Look, there's the guy that gets the random dwi he
had a rough day.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Okay, I got that.
Speaker 6 (22:07):
There's the guy that one time gets in a fight
at a bar, usually under the influence of alcohol because
some other dude wouldn't shut his mouth, or he's showing
off for a girl. Okay, I got that. But when
you see these people with a pattern who Okay, they
get a gun to go in and to commit a crime,
they carry out the crime. They do that as a pattern,
(22:29):
that's a bad guys. That's a rabbit dog. There's no
way around that. And the leftist drifters love to use
people like this to do their bidding. They are their
useful idiots.
Speaker 10 (22:42):
As far back as I can remember, I always wanted
to be a leftist.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
I know I'd go from rigs to its.
Speaker 10 (22:51):
To me, being a leftist was better than getting a
real job, because instead of working, you just protest and
ryot all day. Even before I wandered onto the picket
line for my first hourly paying job from George Soros,
I knew it was where I belonged, and all the
other activists were there too, like all the Mexicans at
Larraza and the SCIU, or the Black Nationalists at BLM
(23:14):
and the Black Panther Party. There were the chicks with
the heavy impits from the feminist movement, and who could
forget the environmentalists with the hybrid vehicles that they charged
in a wall socket using electricity from a coal burning
power plant. I never had the heart to tell them
over in the back of the protest, there was always
that Patuli and Fecei smell coming from the aging hippies
and the American Communist Party.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
They had a book club you could join.
Speaker 10 (23:37):
Then there was the unemployed millennials left over from the
Occupied movement or the anti fascist fascist from ANTIFA. They
were the most notorious villains of war, with the dirty
laundry they used as a face mask and the makeshift
baseball bats they brought to the protests so they could
attack people who disagreed with them. My dad kept telling
me to get a real job, but people like my
(23:58):
father could never understand I was a part of something
I belonged. I was treated like a grown up. Every
day I was learning about social justice and I was
finally cool.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Must I forever be a bega whose goden dreams will
not come true?
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Will I go from a rat to richer?
Speaker 9 (24:28):
My fate is.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
To I want to go back to one of these women.
Are chief Michael Berry? I think that there might because
I got nothing going on down there. Probably we've gone.
(24:53):
But music of any Stuf plea by Carlos Santasa.
Speaker 6 (25:17):
You gotta admire the guys that don't sing but managed
to name a band after themselves, managed to become the
star of the band. And sometimes I think people don't know,
like Carlos Santana, that's Carlos Santana's band, but that's never him.
On vocals, Ted Nugent, Same thing, Ted Nugent, the driving
(25:39):
force behind those bands. Uh van Halen, I mean it's yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
I mean h Jay Giles, good call.
Speaker 6 (25:49):
Yeah, someone named Janet Miranda. I don't know that person
that I know of. Reports yesterday quote new Speaking before
a city council Controller, Chris Hollins proposed renaming Bagbie Street
in honor of the late former Houston mayor Sylvester Turner.
(26:13):
You know, it's the damnedest thing. I can't remember us
naming anything in this city for anyone except of late,
except for when the Metro building was named for doctor
because he has a PhD in some pitdly education or.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Something, doctor Lee P. Brown.
Speaker 6 (26:39):
What a joke? What an embarrassment. Nikki Leland was in
Congress for a few years. They named the Federal Building
after him. There's something wrong in my opinion with you
dying being a reason for naming something for you should
be based on accomplishment.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Now, I will say the Antiac Reserve. I don't know
what it's actually called.
Speaker 6 (27:04):
Antiac Nature Preserve?
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Is that right? Look it up. I think it's the
anti WAC Nature Preserve.
Speaker 6 (27:11):
President Trump named for Joslyn Nungeray and I received an
email from a fellow who was there and said, look,
Aniacs known for our gators and that natural preserve. Your
Google working, did you find it?
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Is that what it's called.
Speaker 6 (27:30):
Antiac National not natural Antiac National Preserve. Okay, well, I
guess it would have to be in federal property because
that's how he's able to name it.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Okay, what is it? Tell me how big it is?
Tell me some details. It's really really well.
Speaker 6 (27:47):
Unfortunately, we need a new research assistant. How many thirty
four thousand acres? Pretty big? I received an email from
a fellow from Aniwac and he said, the only time
Aniac's name is mentioned is Gator or that National Preserve.
And now he's taken our He's taken the name out
of it. He should have at least asked, should have
got buy in from the community of Anniwac. And my
(28:11):
thought was Trump being Trump, as fast as he moves.
They decided on that the day before he put it
in the speech and the order was signed ten minutes later.
He doesn't have time for stakeholder meetings. But I did
think this that National Preserve has had more talk about
it from the president's speech and from coverage of it
(28:35):
than the Aniwac National Preserve has had to my knowledge,
in the last fifty years. It's just one of those
assets that's out there. There are nice state parks, there
are nice national parks. My friend Mark Burns was commissioned
to travel the country and do a photographic exhibit of
(28:59):
a photographic documentary I guess a photographic. It ended up
as an exhibit of all the national parks in the country,
or most of the national parks.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
In the country.
Speaker 6 (29:09):
And so he would send me enough pictures of different
parks where he was and what he was taking, and
it be the beautiful horizon, the sky and these beautiful parks.
And there are two types of people. People who go
to every park and people who go to no parks.
People don't most folks, I don't think randomly check in
on a park. My wife and I have occasionally seen
(29:31):
a park and you pull in. And then there's other
people who make it their business to go to the parks.
But it's a small group of people and they have
I think it's the national parks.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
You can get a membership and you know you have it.
Speaker 6 (29:47):
You do how much is it eighty bucks?
Speaker 1 (29:50):
And how long is that good for?
Speaker 6 (29:52):
One year. Okay, you buy it for all four of y'all.
Oh one is that eighty is the family? Okay, y'all
go to national parks? I mean national parks. You think
you've been to two? Okay?
Speaker 1 (30:03):
If you've been to.
Speaker 6 (30:03):
Two national parks, I don't think you can call yourself
a person who goes to national parks. I think you
got I think the threshold is five. Oh, okay, state?
Speaker 1 (30:11):
All right? How many states do you think you've been? Six?
Speaker 6 (30:14):
Twenty six? You've been at twenty six state parks. I
don't believe you. Oh, you were just trying to how many? Well, yeah,
there's such specificity gave you credibility. Three What are the
three state parks you've been to? The whole sloan On
Gardner State Park? Okay, okay, So you grew up in Texas,
all right, we know that, all right, Bras has been
and Crockett State Park.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Okay, all right.
Speaker 6 (30:36):
So we go back to my original point, which is
the city controller, which is supposed to be the finance guy,
but in this case it's just Rodney Ellis's black guy
that they're giving some seasoning two so they could run
him for the next office. Chris Hollins proposed renaming Bagby Street.
Bagbee Street is the street that runs right in front
of city Hall. So the obvious implication there, and by
(30:57):
the way, somebody tell me who Bagby's name for, because
I suspect Bagbee is named for somebody already. But leaving
that aside, the obvious implication here is that Sylvester Turner
was a great mayor, and anyone who comes down to
the people's place, city Hall, should remember the name of
(31:18):
that great mayor. Now this is the part where it
gets interesting. Okay, let's start with Do you remember Amy
Davis's reports on the water Department and him telling her
she was a bad person for doing it. Do you
remember Mario Diaz's reports on Marvin Agamago and he didn't
know who Marvin Agamaga was, who went on the trip
with him to Africa? And then he came back the
(31:39):
next day when when Marvin Aga, when Mario Diaz showed
a photo of him, and he said, oh, that Marvin Agamago.
I mean, there's so many out there.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Hey, you know, Joe Smith, I don't think I do.
Speaker 6 (31:50):
Remember y'all were in third grade together and he he
was the right guard and you were the right.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah that Joe Smith. Yeah yeah yeah,
I remember, yeah yeah. How many marmon agumagus.
Speaker 6 (32:02):
You got in your life? Literally, not figuratively, because that
would be a whole different show.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
But in any case, his uh uh.
Speaker 6 (32:12):
Housing department marketing director is in prison right now. His
hief of staff is in prison right now. The airport
was runnm up and there were investigations they may still
be ongoing into the airport. I mean people went to prison,
lots of people. The head of the water department went
to prison. Hears her top aid went to prison, another
(32:33):
person went to prison. I mean this guy, this it
was a criminal enterprise at city Hall under him, a
criminal enterprise. Asked the firefighters what he did to them
for eight years? How he wronged them? They we had,
we had a public vote on their pay, and then he.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Decided, now I'm just not going to honor that.
Speaker 6 (32:51):
Oh okay, yeah, sure, sure, Chris Hans. Let's let's rename
the street that already has a name, Bruce Selvester Turner,
cause he did such a good job. Do you know
what kind of people think Sylvester Turner did a good
job
It's that time. Time, time, time, luck and load change
to Michael Very show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
America first includes all Americans, regardless of their race, their gender,
or their sexual orientation.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Why don't we live right these United States where the
one who indeed didn't work?
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Let the rest.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Of the world help us farch change and let's rebuild
the Mary first, High is rig desert.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Fun and far who's less?
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Who has been cursed?
Speaker 3 (00:50):
There's things to be down all over.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
The world, but let's rebuild them Mary.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Our message to black Americans to is this, we want
you what we want for every American. Safe neighborhoods, good jobs,
clean streets, a country where you are judged based on
the content of your character, not the color of your
skin or your political beliefs.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
On you and watching that and who's in charge of
it all?
Speaker 1 (01:25):
God bless the army.
Speaker 4 (01:28):
Got this our liberty, get down the risk of it all,
give posision of the back and away the freedom is
stuck in verse, let's.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
Get out of rack, get back on the track, and
let's rebuild a married First.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Our message to gay Americans tonight is this, You're free
to marry who you want, if you want, without the
government standing in your way one small, but that doesn't
mean that boys get to compete with girls in girls' sports,
or you do genital mutilation and chemical castration on our children.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
H I don't mutibright these United States. We're the ones
who need it the most. You think I'm blind, smoke
s bars.
Speaker 5 (02:20):
It ain't no doat.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
I'm a twenty eight fifty year coast codes.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
You get ahead in the United States with your own
hard work, your own commitment, your own dedication, and that
you know what you are free to speak your mind
at every step of the way.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
That is the American dream.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
That is what we are running too, and that is
what we get when we send Donald Trump back to
the White House.
Speaker 6 (02:46):
Officials in both Montgomery and Sanjasino Counties have issued evacuation
orders over the growing wildfire in the Sam Houston National Forest.
The Pauline Road fire has burned two thousand acres so
far and is only about ten percent contained. Is believed
that the fire started burning northwest of FM seventeen to
(03:06):
twenty five and also Brooks Road in San Jack County,
but has now spread into parts of Montgomery County, forcing
mandatory evacuations in some areas. Montgomery County Judge Mark Keo
wrote on Facebook at around five point thirty quote, Overnight,
fire crews have made significant efforts to protect structures and
have successfully successfully protected the area in the path of
(03:29):
this massive fire. No structures have received any damage as
of this report. Current size of the fire is two
thousand acres with ten percent containment. Starting at daybreak, several
air tankers, dozers, and additional firefighters will be working hard
to bring this blaze under control and gain containment. The
mandatory evacuations issued in both Montgomery and Sanderseno Counties remain
(03:53):
in place. The weather today will not be on our side.
We expect significant wind gusts today with low humidity and
warmer temperatures. This will make firefighting difficult. We are under
a red flag warning today as a result of the forecast,
but the entire counties, resources and state assets are working
around the clock to protect property and people.
Speaker 1 (04:16):
We are blessed with the best and the men and women.
Speaker 6 (04:18):
Of our fire departments in law enforcement agencies proved it
yesterday and overnight. They work tirelessly to assist residents evacuate,
protect their homes, and wrangle cattle and horses to safety.
You got to wrangle the cattle and horses. It's an
important part, is the wrangling. If there is a San
(04:39):
Jacinto or Montgomery County fire law enforcement or political figure
who could call in and give us an update, I
will put in a calder in the break to Mark Keo,
the Montgomery County judge.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Who's the sty Ceno judge? County judge? Do you remember here?
Who judge Reinhold? Oh?
Speaker 6 (05:00):
Okay, okay, good, yeah, all right, we're doing the breakfast club.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Okay, all right, it.
Speaker 6 (05:08):
Does is Molly Ringwell, his sidekick, his police chief. The
Houston Cougs tip off today at one o'clock as they
take on the number sixteen seed Southern Illinois Edwardsville. They're
nearly thirty point favorites, but players have the good sense to.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
Tell Khou that they are.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
Not looking past these cougars from up north.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
That's right.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
It is Cougars versus cougars. Fifty one second clip give
us a ding with every cliche A we're gonna take
it one play at.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
A time, are we gonna? Okay, here we go.
Speaker 7 (05:44):
The Cougar's hitting the floor at eleven forty five am
for practice. A key for this number one seed, the
health of number thirteen Juwan Roberts on the court, running,
cutting and shooting. And while we did see him lace
up this brace, he claims he is one after missing
(06:05):
most of the Big.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Twelve tournament with that ankle injury.
Speaker 7 (06:09):
The spirit of Houston hitting all the right notes, the
cougar's body language, same as always overlooking an opponent, even
a number sixteen seed is not part of this Houston culture.
These players do not and will not.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Look ahead like you, Asny. That's that's one thing you
shouldn't do. You don't want to look ahead.
Speaker 7 (06:31):
You know, whoever we got to find, we just want
to focus on en same.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
You know, we think about how special it was that
a team played in Houston and then was able to
come directly across the street to play what a kim
Olajawan and was able to play in the city that
had supported him as a college player. And he's from Nigeria.
(07:01):
It's not like his neighbors were able to come over
and watch, but it was special to get to do that.
Think of Earl Campbell and the Oilers being able to
bring him down the road to play in Houston, and
all these folks that had supported him, rooted for him
(07:22):
as a Longhorn. That's a special time for people that
got to watch him play those amazing seasons at the
University of Texas and then come from Austin down to
Houston and play again. Because so often, you know you're
a star at the University of Houston and you end
up playing in Buffalo or New Jersey.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
And poor Clyde.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
Clyde burned through most of his productive years of basketball,
phenomenal years playing in Portland for.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
People he didn't know. How cool would that have.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
Been if it had worked out that he could have
played his first years here in Houston, that would have
been pretty neat. I mean, we had Ralph Sampson. Ralph
Sampson had no connection in the eighties to Houston. And
I understand you're a big boy. That's that's the way
the game is played. But it's a neat thing when
somebody can play in front of their home team, their
(08:18):
home crowd, their their neighbors when they grow a couple
of those Miami players that went to the Dolphins.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
But it doesn't happen much the Lake lack Aberry Shop.
Speaker 8 (08:33):
I don't believe that anybody feels the way I too
about you.
Speaker 6 (08:39):
Now, Hello and welcome to the greatest time of the year.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
That's right, it is the madness of March and we're
ready to roll with the biggest game of the week.
That's right.
Speaker 5 (08:53):
It's the Republicans versus the Democrats in Washington, d C.
My name is Billy McCracken, along with my partner Johnny
Blue Balls, and.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Boy do we have a hatch up for you today.
Biggest to the week. Johnny, Well, you got that right, Billy.
What I'd call this is the collusionist versus.
Speaker 5 (09:10):
The capitalist and I can't wait to see.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
What happens here on the court today. All right, we'll
get to the action in just a moment. The first
we break for the African American National anthem. Oh see, can.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
You see how it's easy on me?
Speaker 9 (09:28):
I get all the scholarship reparations are free. Oh great,
HOWE live in this coh tree of the break and
(09:50):
free to whom.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
All right, we're about ready to tip this baby off.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
Coming to center court for the Republican We have Elon
Musk for the Democrats, Nancy Pelosi.
Speaker 6 (10:03):
Well, I think in talking to the Democrats Sideline, they're
hoping that Pelosi has enough repemisd and mephrom and that
she can outjump Musk.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
We'll have to see here. Pelosi actually wins.
Speaker 5 (10:15):
The tip passes to Clinton, Clinton Obama, Obama, back to Clinton,
Clinton to Obama.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
What's going on here? Pelosi back with the ball, passes
to Biden.
Speaker 5 (10:21):
Biden not sure what to do with it, loops it
back to Kamala's stolen my.
Speaker 10 (10:25):
Elon elon driving to the basket, Ron swams it hooy.
Speaker 5 (10:30):
Elon coming from outer space on that one, billy, ooh,
and what do we have here?
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Looks like our good friend Team Waltz is down with
an injury. Let's go to the sideline.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Oh if my haammy, god, if my tender little hammoo.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
That sounds bad. Time for a break here.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
When we come back, it's freeloader free throws sponsored by
the Democrats.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Who's gonna win? Probably not you. You'll be right back.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
Outs Sheila Jackson Lee and Sylvester Turner.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Last year.
Speaker 6 (11:03):
Amanda Edwards is running in the eighteenth congressional district. During
the twenty twenty four primary, Amanda Edwards raised just over
one point six million dollars, while Sheila Jackson Lee raised
five hundred and fifty three thousand dollars, but she was
running for mayor during most of the campaign. Sylvester Turner
raised six hundred and fifty two thousand for the special
(11:25):
election to fill she Jack's seat.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
From the Chronicle quote, I.
Speaker 6 (11:28):
Think the people of the eighteenth Congressional District know that
I will fight for what I believe in, and that
means I will fight for them. This will be the
third time Edwards has entered her name to run in
the congressional district. She primari Jackson Lee in twenty twenty
four for the spot, and following Jackson Lee's death in July,
Edwards found herself up against Turner for the Democrat nomination
for the position. Edwards ran to represent Texas in the
(11:50):
US Senate in twenty twenty but ultimately lost the Democrat nomination.
Senator John Cornan ultimately won the race. Edwards also planned
to run in the Houston mayor's race, but dropped out
to run for Jackson Lee's position after she announced her
own campaign for mayor. I happened to know what happened
there Van Edwards was running for mayor. She wasn't going
(12:11):
to win. Whitmyer was but she was pulling away votes
from Sheila Jackson Leine, and in early polling she was
pulling significant votes from Sheila Jacksonline. She was virtually assuring
that Sheila Jackson Lee wouldn't get the traction she would
need to win that race.
Speaker 1 (12:29):
So a deal was cut.
Speaker 6 (12:32):
She would run for Sheila's seat, and that she'd get
out of the mayor's race, and that Sheila would endorse
her for mayor. Never trust Sheila Jacksonlye, but she did.
It was a mistake. They were not friends or allies.
(12:53):
Remember she's running for mayor knowing good and well, Sheila's
running for mayor. They were by no means good buddies.
She is a smart, very attractive, very well spoken, accomplished lawyer.
She was with a downtown law firm, Bracewell and Patterson
for a while. I don't know what she does professionally anymore,
(13:15):
but she has strikingly good looks when she walks into
a room, and people like her. You can't help but
like her. She has a perpetual smile. She's smart. She's
not a firebrand activist type. She was getting a little
(13:36):
traction in that mayor's race. I know some folks who
were supporting her, who are not necessarily particularly partisan but
typically support Republican candidates. There is a certain strain of
well to do, well meaning Episcopalian, Presbyterian type white men
in Houston that have this idea every election in municipal
(13:59):
race is that, well, probably going to end up with
a Democrat and probably going to be, you know, some
crazy black Democrat. So what we'll do is we'll support
the person that's nice that we kind of like who
happens to be black. And that way, the blacks will
vote for this person and will put them in there,
but they'll be reasonable, so it's the least worse. It's
(14:21):
we'll have an addict to hide in when the bad
guys come. So she was getting some support from this
crowd and others. There are blacks who like her. There
are independent blacks who really like her because she happens
to be black, but she doesn't feel the need to
identify as a BLM spokesman. So in any case, the
(14:44):
deal was cut and she stepped out of the mayor's race,
and that opened the lane for Sheila to consolidate a
lot of those votes. And although they do not have
complete overlap in their support by any means. So so
then Amanda Edwards goes from the mayor's race to the
congressional race. And this sort of feels weird on the
west side of town, but this sort of thing is done,
(15:05):
particularly in seats that are typically considered black seats. People
move around and it's not even nobody looks a scance
at it. So she is campaigning in earnest for the
congressional seat. Sheila, as you'll remember, lost in November on
a Saturday. She had until Monday at five pm to
determine whether she was running for the congressional for the
(15:27):
congressional race, and she said she would. That race had
already sort of begun and that would be a primary
race in March a few months hints. And even though
Sheila had burned through her cash running for mayor, she'd
been in the news affair amount because of running for mayor,
and so she was in a strong position. Then of course,
(15:50):
Sheila dies and Sylvester Turner runs. So Amanda Edwards gets
into that race for her unexpired seat and Sevester Turner.
Frant I think she'd be the best of the choices,
but the fact that somebody like me thinks she'd be
a good congressman tells you that the powers of be
won't ever let her.
Speaker 3 (16:13):
The interialist, the butterflies with the Michael Berry.
Speaker 1 (16:17):
They're all Duncans. And you know Duncan means yo Yo.
Speaker 6 (16:28):
A BLM activist who pushed for criminal justice reform, was
granted clemency by Washington State Governor Jay Insley, propped up
by the Democrats as a successfully rehabilitated criminal. Well, he's
been arrested and charged with eleven felony drug and gun
charges after a sixteen month investigation. Fifty four year old
(16:50):
Percy Levy has spent seventeen years in prison for robbing
a drug house in twenty nineteen. He was granted clemency
by the Democrat. Gun investigators found powder, cocaine, rock cocaine,
and enough ventanyl to kill nearly two hundred and eighty
thousand people. They also found a loaded handgun. CARO TV
(17:11):
in Seattle reports, Well, here's that report.
Speaker 8 (17:15):
Fifty four year old Percy Levy now held on one
point five million dollars bail in facing eleven felony drug
and gun charges after a sixteen month undercover investigation by
the Snohomish Regional Drug Task Force. This is Levy pictured
with former Governor Jay Ininsley, who granted clemency to Levy
in twenty nineteen after spending seventeen years in prison for
robbing a drug house. Levy was arrested last Thursday during
(17:38):
a traffic stop on seventy fifth Street Southeast in Averette.
According to court documents, at Levy's home on ninety third
Street Southeast, investigators found powder cocaine, rock cocaine, and enough
ventanyl to kill nearly two hundred and eighty thousand people.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
They also found a loaded handgun.
Speaker 7 (17:55):
Doesn't seem like he's changed his relationships while he was
in an and headed back into the same circle, which
is obviously troubling.
Speaker 8 (18:04):
Since givin clemency, Levy has worked on the board of
Black Lives Matter Seattle, King County and as a community
outreach specialist for Washington Defender Association, dedicating himself to criminal
justice reform. He's also the founder of Redemption Auto and
Auto Vendor in Everett, and those websites highlight Levy's clemency
and reform efforts.
Speaker 11 (18:25):
And when we do things like pardon people or we
let people off the hook that could look like rewarding
bad behavior.
Speaker 8 (18:33):
Frederick Bltzen is with the Snowhomis County Black Heritage Committee
and for many years has worked with people who have
gone through the criminal justice system.
Speaker 11 (18:41):
I think there needs to be more thought around who
you give this second chance to right? What have you
done to demonstrate that you're moving in a direction where
you're going to be a contributing member of society.
Speaker 8 (18:58):
Kiro seven also received a state and from Washington Defender
Association saying, we know very little about the recent arrest
of Percy Levy, a valued employee and member of the community.
Mister Levy, like all persons, is presumed innocent and has
the right to counsel and to a fair process. And
we also called an emailed Black Lives Matter Seattle King County,
(19:18):
where Levy was previously listed as the treasurer, but we
did not hear back.
Speaker 6 (19:24):
You thought about this for a long time and not
spoken it. Let me flesh out a theory here he
used the phrase a contributing member of society.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
We talk about this.
Speaker 6 (19:36):
I hear this used in the criminal justice since quite often,
is that we need to reform bad guys by making
them contributing members. They need to be good guys, and
it really doesn't align with my core beliefs. There is
no need to be good. But more importantly than that,
(20:03):
I think that this is why some bad guys get
insufficiently punished for their crimes, is because we tend to
take out our accounting software and look at the ledger
and say, well, yeah, this guy did bad things. We
also did some good things over here. That's not the point.
(20:25):
If you get raped by a fellow and his mama
comes in, and his girlfriend comes in, and his pastor
comes in, and his neighbors come in and tell you
of the good dude, good deeds he did. Does that
in any way lesson the pain the shame of the rape.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Well, no, it doesn't.
Speaker 6 (20:48):
And so I'm always concerned that there is almost this
idea that you can balance these things out with goodness.
Just don't do bad things. That's it. Because when you
do do bad things, you can move up into the
mountains and never bother a soul and not be a
quote contributing member of society. Or you can lay on
(21:11):
your couch all day if you can get someone else
to bring you the cheetos and you don't bother anybody
to get it. It is the moment at which you
breach the piece that we all enjoy, that is the
moment that you should be punished for blm antifa, la rasa.
They're all the same, all these leftist grifters at the top,
(21:35):
all of them leftist grifters like this dude. They love
to have people like this guy, bad guy criminals who
they can make into a good guy, who are out
there saying, you know, let's give people a second chance.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
This guy got a second chance.
Speaker 6 (21:55):
He got a second chance, and look at what he
did with it.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
I honestly believe.
Speaker 6 (22:00):
Look, there's the guy that gets the random dwi he
had a rough day.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Okay, I got that.
Speaker 6 (22:07):
There's the guy that one time gets in a fight
at a bar, usually under the influence of alcohol because
some other dude wouldn't shut his mouth, or he's showing
off for a girl. Okay, I got that. But when
you see these people with a pattern who Okay, they
get a gun to go in and to commit a crime,
they carry out the crime. They do that as a pattern,
(22:29):
that's a bad guys. That's a rabbit dog. There's no
way around that. And the leftist drifters love to use
people like this to do their bidding. They are their
useful idiots.
Speaker 10 (22:42):
As far back as I can remember, I always wanted
to be a leftist.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
I know I'd go from rigs to its.
Speaker 10 (22:51):
To me, being a leftist was better than getting a
real job, because instead of working, you just protest and
ryot all day. Even before I wandered onto the picket
line for my first hourly paying job from George Soros,
I knew it was where I belonged, and all the
other activists were there too, like all the Mexicans at
Larraza and the SCIU, or the Black Nationalists at BLM
(23:14):
and the Black Panther Party. There were the chicks with
the heavy impits from the feminist movement, and who could
forget the environmentalists with the hybrid vehicles that they charged
in a wall socket using electricity from a coal burning
power plant. I never had the heart to tell them
over in the back of the protest, there was always
that Patuli and Fecei smell coming from the aging hippies
and the American Communist Party.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
They had a book club you could join.
Speaker 10 (23:37):
Then there was the unemployed millennials left over from the
Occupied movement or the anti fascist fascist from ANTIFA. They
were the most notorious villains of war, with the dirty
laundry they used as a face mask and the makeshift
baseball bats they brought to the protests so they could
attack people who disagreed with them. My dad kept telling
me to get a real job, but people like my
(23:58):
father could never understand I was a part of something
I belonged. I was treated like a grown up. Every
day I was learning about social justice and I was
finally cool.
Speaker 1 (24:08):
Must I forever be a bega whose goden dreams will
not come true?
Speaker 3 (24:22):
Will I go from a rat to richer?
Speaker 9 (24:28):
My fate is.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
To I want to go back to one of these women.
Are chief Michael Berry? I think that there might because
I got nothing going on down there. Probably we've gone.
(24:53):
But music of any Stuf plea by Carlos Santasa.
Speaker 6 (25:17):
You gotta admire the guys that don't sing but managed
to name a band after themselves, managed to become the
star of the band. And sometimes I think people don't know,
like Carlos Santana, that's Carlos Santana's band, but that's never him.
On vocals, Ted Nugent, Same thing, Ted Nugent, the driving
(25:39):
force behind those bands. Uh van Halen, I mean it's yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
I mean h Jay Giles, good call.
Speaker 6 (25:49):
Yeah, someone named Janet Miranda. I don't know that person
that I know of. Reports yesterday quote new Speaking before
a city council Controller, Chris Hollins proposed renaming Bagbie Street
in honor of the late former Houston mayor Sylvester Turner.
(26:13):
You know, it's the damnedest thing. I can't remember us
naming anything in this city for anyone except of late,
except for when the Metro building was named for doctor
because he has a PhD in some pitdly education or.
Speaker 1 (26:35):
Something, doctor Lee P. Brown.
Speaker 6 (26:39):
What a joke? What an embarrassment. Nikki Leland was in
Congress for a few years. They named the Federal Building
after him. There's something wrong in my opinion with you
dying being a reason for naming something for you should
be based on accomplishment.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Now, I will say the Antiac Reserve. I don't know
what it's actually called.
Speaker 6 (27:04):
Antiac Nature Preserve?
Speaker 1 (27:07):
Is that right? Look it up. I think it's the
anti WAC Nature Preserve.
Speaker 6 (27:11):
President Trump named for Joslyn Nungeray and I received an
email from a fellow who was there and said, look,
Aniacs known for our gators and that natural preserve. Your
Google working, did you find it?
Speaker 1 (27:28):
Is that what it's called.
Speaker 6 (27:30):
Antiac National not natural Antiac National Preserve. Okay, well, I
guess it would have to be in federal property because
that's how he's able to name it.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Okay, what is it? Tell me how big it is?
Tell me some details. It's really really well.
Speaker 6 (27:47):
Unfortunately, we need a new research assistant. How many thirty
four thousand acres? Pretty big? I received an email from
a fellow from Aniwac and he said, the only time
Aniac's name is mentioned is Gator or that National Preserve.
And now he's taken our He's taken the name out
of it. He should have at least asked, should have
got buy in from the community of Anniwac. And my
(28:11):
thought was Trump being Trump, as fast as he moves.
They decided on that the day before he put it
in the speech and the order was signed ten minutes later.
He doesn't have time for stakeholder meetings. But I did
think this that National Preserve has had more talk about
it from the president's speech and from coverage of it
(28:35):
than the Aniwac National Preserve has had to my knowledge,
in the last fifty years. It's just one of those
assets that's out there. There are nice state parks, there
are nice national parks. My friend Mark Burns was commissioned
to travel the country and do a photographic exhibit of
(28:59):
a photographic documentary I guess a photographic. It ended up
as an exhibit of all the national parks in the country,
or most of the national parks.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
In the country.
Speaker 6 (29:09):
And so he would send me enough pictures of different
parks where he was and what he was taking, and
it be the beautiful horizon, the sky and these beautiful parks.
And there are two types of people. People who go
to every park and people who go to no parks.
People don't most folks, I don't think randomly check in
on a park. My wife and I have occasionally seen
(29:31):
a park and you pull in. And then there's other
people who make it their business to go to the parks.
But it's a small group of people and they have
I think it's the national parks.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
You can get a membership and you know you have it.
Speaker 6 (29:47):
You do how much is it eighty bucks?
Speaker 1 (29:50):
And how long is that good for?
Speaker 6 (29:52):
One year. Okay, you buy it for all four of y'all.
Oh one is that eighty is the family? Okay, y'all
go to national parks? I mean national parks. You think
you've been to two? Okay?
Speaker 1 (30:03):
If you've been to.
Speaker 6 (30:03):
Two national parks, I don't think you can call yourself
a person who goes to national parks. I think you
got I think the threshold is five. Oh, okay, state?
Speaker 1 (30:11):
All right? How many states do you think you've been? Six?
Speaker 6 (30:14):
Twenty six? You've been at twenty six state parks. I
don't believe you. Oh, you were just trying to how many? Well, yeah,
there's such specificity gave you credibility. Three What are the
three state parks you've been to? The whole sloan On
Gardner State Park? Okay, okay, So you grew up in Texas,
all right, we know that, all right, Bras has been
and Crockett State Park.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Okay, all right.
Speaker 6 (30:36):
So we go back to my original point, which is
the city controller, which is supposed to be the finance guy,
but in this case it's just Rodney Ellis's black guy
that they're giving some seasoning two so they could run
him for the next office. Chris Hollins proposed renaming Bagby Street.
Bagbee Street is the street that runs right in front
of city Hall. So the obvious implication there, and by
(30:57):
the way, somebody tell me who Bagby's name for, because
I suspect Bagbee is named for somebody already. But leaving
that aside, the obvious implication here is that Sylvester Turner
was a great mayor, and anyone who comes down to
the people's place, city Hall, should remember the name of
(31:18):
that great mayor. Now this is the part where it
gets interesting. Okay, let's start with Do you remember Amy
Davis's reports on the water Department and him telling her
she was a bad person for doing it. Do you
remember Mario Diaz's reports on Marvin Agamago and he didn't
know who Marvin Agamaga was, who went on the trip
with him to Africa? And then he came back the
(31:39):
next day when when Marvin Aga, when Mario Diaz showed
a photo of him, and he said, oh, that Marvin Agamago.
I mean, there's so many out there.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
Hey, you know, Joe Smith, I don't think I do.
Speaker 6 (31:50):
Remember y'all were in third grade together and he he
was the right guard and you were the right.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah that Joe Smith. Yeah yeah yeah,
I remember, yeah yeah. How many marmon agumagus.
Speaker 6 (32:02):
You got in your life? Literally, not figuratively, because that
would be a whole different show.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
But in any case, his uh uh.
Speaker 6 (32:12):
Housing department marketing director is in prison right now. His
hief of staff is in prison right now. The airport
was runnm up and there were investigations they may still
be ongoing into the airport. I mean people went to prison,
lots of people. The head of the water department went
to prison. Hears her top aid went to prison, another
(32:33):
person went to prison. I mean this guy, this it
was a criminal enterprise at city Hall under him, a
criminal enterprise. Asked the firefighters what he did to them
for eight years? How he wronged them? They we had,
we had a public vote on their pay, and then he.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Decided, now I'm just not going to honor that.
Speaker 6 (32:51):
Oh okay, yeah, sure, sure, Chris Hans. Let's let's rename
the street that already has a name, Bruce Selvester Turner,
cause he did such a good job. Do you know
what kind of people think Sylvester Turner did a good
job
