The Wall Street Journal reports the high school juniors with
seventy thousand dollars a year job offers at Philadelphia's Father Judge.
All twenty four graduating seniors in the welding program have
job offers, each paying fifty thousand or more, says welding
(01:48):
instructor Joe Williams. More employers, he said, reach out to
him every semester. The story from CBS Philadelphia.
Speaker 6 (01:58):
Jabriel Lopez spends the first two hours of his school
day welding.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Someone kept saying we would get out of Spanish, and.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
I was like, oh wow.
Speaker 6 (02:06):
Standing beside him are his classmates Daniel, James, and now
the end is Kyle. They are part of the twenty
twenty two graduating first welding class a Father Judge High
School for boys. At the head of the class is
mister Joseph Williams.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
What kind of letters and what does these mean?
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Right here?
Speaker 3 (02:24):
This?
Speaker 6 (02:27):
As a welding specialist, william says, skilled trades are slowly
making a comeback.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
You can teach a young man to read blueprints at seventeen.
That's marketable.
Speaker 7 (02:35):
Everybody's leaving here with a career that is well deserved,
you know, making up words.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
To seventy thousand dollars a year. Everyone will be certified.
Speaker 6 (02:44):
At the end of this three year program in over
one thousand hours, students will have earned an American Welding
Society in Ocean's safety certifications.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
I'm going to Al three Harris and they do military
contract welding.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
I'm gonna def Fabrication.
Speaker 7 (03:00):
It's a government company and that helps with the US Navy.
Speaker 6 (03:04):
And Kyle and James and the hard hats. They are
going to hold Tech International in Camden, New Jersey.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Wells for nuclear reactors.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
Not bad for the first welding class to graduate in
the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Alumni in School President Brian Patrick
King says, this is just the beginning.
Speaker 7 (03:21):
We are set to begin construction only twenty thousand square
foot eight million dollar building, the Career Pathways Academy that
will house not only the welding program, but we will
bring in automotive, HVAC, building trades, and C and C
machining into the new building to have multiple layers.
Speaker 6 (03:37):
And soon these four will be gone working as skilled welders.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
I know that I'll be getting a good paying job
and I'll.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Definitely be able to retire earlier than most people because
I want to have to work for as long, to
make the same amount of money.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
And to think it all start it inside this small
welding shop with thirty boys and mister Williams.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
That story from CBS Philadelphia was from twenty twenty two.
The Wall Street Journal just updated it with the news
story about seventy thousand dollars a year job offers KTRH
Morning News today had a story about nil name image likeness.
(04:22):
I am in favor of innil Now I realize that
most people, it turns out, are not.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Well.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Let me first say I think the product on the air,
on the field.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Football. We'll start with football.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
This past year, past two years, has been better than
it's been in the past. Now there are people who
say yoah, but the coaches don't like it.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Wait a minute.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
Nick Saban, who was making ten million dollars a year
to be a coach, didn't like the fact that the
players were getting paid at most.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
A million bucks.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
He didn't like the fact that he didn't have absolute
utter control over them because some other school was paying
them money to go there, and these guys had options.
How about this, how about he play for room and board. Oh,
he doesn't want that. The coaches want to be able
(05:23):
to move around for higher pay and benefits, but not
have the players do it. Well, it's like the NFL, Michael,
It's like the NFL. Now, the kids they don't care
about where they go to school. You really think, you
really think Eric Dickerson cared where he was going to
(05:44):
go to school. He got his Golden trans am, he
got his bundle of cash. Why did he move schools
at the last minute? How about Kyler Murray moving schools.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
At the last minute? How about all the players moving
schools before we had nil? How could they do that.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
Michael, I'm an aggie, and I want them to go
to A and M because they love the university. They
want to go where they can make the most impact
and increase the likelihood that they can play professional football.
They'll wear your jersey or they'll wear another one. They'll
(06:27):
be an LSU Tiger as soon as they'll be a
Crimson Tide, as soon as they'll be an Auburn war Eagle,
as soon as they'll be an Oklahoma sooner. But Michael,
I'm a Okhoma sooner. I want them to go there,
and I want them to love it. And they're supposed
to be a student athlete.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Don't forget that. You want to watch a bunch of
kids run up and down the field where in your
school's uniform and think they give a damn about your
fraternity or or your ritual or your experience.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
You really believe that, you're dumb enough to believe that,
or you like this little fantasy land that we live in.
Well Nil started paying, as in Il said. The fans
who want the best players on their team understand it's
it's Jimmy's and Joe's, not x'es and o's. You got
(07:23):
the best players, you're probably gonna win, right And by
the way Saban had the best players, his worry was
he would no longer have the lock on the best players.
People paying other people for what they want is as
old as time. Now you've got these young people. The
(07:43):
ktr H story was they're paying them in high school,
and the guests said something about it.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
I heard just go, we're gonna get these kids in
these pipeline and playing ball. It ain't about playing ball, fool.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
If I want to sell cheves, and I got a
high school kid that everybody in the neighborhood loves, and
I pay him ten grand to sell cheves, that's what
he's gonna do. And look at these guys. They're getting
paid good money with a welding job and no college degree,
which means no death. Michael berrys George, I can't excite it.
(08:20):
The guy snuck up beside me and shouted food so
loud that I lost all my hearing in my left ear.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
He scared me half to death.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
Why did the time traveler get fired from his new
job because he kept showing up?
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Yesterday? Big national news.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
Yesterday focused on Houston, a seven day ice operation in
the Houston area resulted in four one hundred twenty two arrests.
Brett Bradford with the Houston ICE Field Office says, after
illegally entering the country, these violent criminal aliens have infiltrated
(09:16):
our local communities and reigned terror on law abiding residents,
leaving countless innocent victims in their wake.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
The story from Fox News National.
Speaker 8 (09:29):
We joined ICE for this exclusive week long operation. More
than four hundred and twenty illegal migrants taken off the
streets here in Houston. The majority were criminal convictions or
had pending criminal convictions. You had everything from murder's robberies
to sexual assault of a child's.
Speaker 9 (09:48):
He did twenty one plus years for murder in Columbia.
He was involved in a lot of organized crime in Columbia.
Speaker 8 (09:55):
ICE officials pull up and arrest this illegal migrant, who,
according to ICE, is a convicted or from Columbia. It
is caught by border patrol last year and then released
because of the Bided administration's catch and release policies. And
watch this so twice deported illegal migrant from Mexico. He
tried to flee in his car and then make a
run for it before he was captured. And arrested. According
(10:17):
to ICE, he has multiple convictions in the US, including arson,
aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and DWI.
Speaker 9 (10:23):
This is a week long operation where we really fled
the zone with additional resources from all these agencies and
come together trying to make the biggest impact and get
as many of these folks off.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
The streets as we possibly can.
Speaker 8 (10:33):
More than two hundred of the illegal migrants arrested had
final orders of removal, according to ICE, including this thirty
six year old criminal migrant from El Salvador. ICE is
speeding up that removal process now, so instead of bringing
them to detention centers and taking up space the illegal
migrants with final orders of removal, they're being transferred to
hub locations immediately and then quickly deported to their home countries.
Speaker 9 (10:56):
We can arrest the individual this morning, process in this afternoon,
and him on removal flight this evening same day, saving
taxpayer costs and just to make it a more efficient
and expedited process to get these folks out.
Speaker 10 (11:09):
Of the countries.
Speaker 8 (11:10):
I Meanwhile, at the southern border, numbers there continue to
stay drastically low. According to the CBP's latest monthly report,
Apprehensions are down in ninety percent compared to this time
last year.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Imagine that it can be done. It really can.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
Remember the liberal activist Wisconsin judge Hannah Dugan indicted now
for trying to prevent Ice from executing an arrest warrant
on a previously deported illegal alien by grabbing him and
his lawyer, shoving them into her chambers, closing the door
behind her, and sending them out the back door. Fox
(11:54):
six Milwaukee with the story.
Speaker 11 (11:56):
Milwaukee County Judge Christolla Servera entered Milwaukee Federal courthousew Tuesday
alongside Milwaukee defense attorney Michael Hart.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Once inside, the two were.
Speaker 11 (12:05):
Later seen walking down a hallway where the grand jury
is reportedly meeting. Servera and Hart left the courthouse about
an hour later. Servera, who handles misdemeanor cases on the
sixth floor of the Milwaukee County Courthouse, works on the
same floor as Dugan. Servera's arrival followed that of Ellen Freed,
Dugan's court clerk, who spotted leaving the federal building at
around three pm Tuesday morning. State public defender Mercedes Dela
(12:26):
Rosa walked inside, flanked by several other people. Del Rosa
represented the man at the center of the case twenty
nine year old Eduardo Flores Ruiz. He was in Dugan's
county courtroom last month on a misdemeanor battery case. Federal
prosecutor say Dugan learned federal agents were outside her courtroom
to arrest Floras Ruiz, a Mexican national previously removed from
the US. Filing say Dugan left the bench and told
(12:48):
agents to go to the chief Judge's office down the hall.
Prosecutors say she returned to the bench and escorted Floras
Ruiz through a jury door and told his attorney, Dela Rosa,
she and her client should leave through the back door
of the court room. Filing say that two re entered
the public hallway and were spotted by two DEA agents,
one of which rode on an elevator with them down
to the first floor of the courthouse for as. Ruiz
(13:09):
was later arrested after a short chase. Now, the Wisconsin
Supreme Court has since suspended Dugan indefinitely since she was
arrested and charged by federal prosecutors late last month. Dugan
is due back in court on Thursday.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
They really did have to show their hand, They really
did want us to be overrun with illegal aliens, including rapists, murderers, traffickers.
They really did want this. For years they said they didn't.
For years they said, no, we should just be merciful.
(13:48):
You should be Christ like what would Christ do? You
should be like Christ? You're not even a believer. Don't
try to use that against me. And a silliness is this.
We're just being compassionate. They just want a better life.
They're good people. They're just doing the jobs that Americans
(14:12):
won't do. Remember all that, But we're not trying to
overwhelm the system with them. We're not trying to flood
the zone with all these people. We don't want the
bad guys. But they did want the bad guys. They
wanted as many as they could. They want to destroy
this country. I have absolutely no compunction in saying these
(14:34):
people should.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Not pull public office.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
I won't hire them, I won't promote them, I won't
do business with them.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
They are destroying this country. Fat God, you know what,
We're overdue for a little, I truly believe.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
I was driving back to town from Republic Grand Ranch a
couple of years ago, so I had some time, just
me and my cigar and some windshield, and I'm driving
along thinking about all the crazy things that were happening.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
This was during the Biden administration.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
And as I thought about various crazy things that were happening,
and much of it by design, how many truths were
being called lies, how many lies were being called truth,
and it was bothering me. And I decided that I
couldn't control other people. I could only control myself. And so,
(15:37):
just as you do with your faith, I decided that
what I would do is I would hold firm to
the truth. And so I simply began stating simple truths
that I knew to be the case, and that I
didn't care who disagreed with or what they said. They're
in the truck by myself, and I started by saying,
(15:59):
I truly believe that. And some of the things were controversial,
and some of them were simple and silly, but it
gave me a sense of grounding to know that nobody
could shake my faith, nobody could alter my reality, no
(16:22):
matter how hard they tried. I got an email this morning,
by the way, we're going to play, and I truly
believe seven one three nine nine nine one thousand. Remember
when I go to you, you say I truly believe
that the shorter and sharper the better. They said, and Hi,
it's going to be a long story. No, no, no, no,
you go right to it. So I got an email
from a fellow that he had made a post and
(16:47):
it went like this. On January seventh of twenty twenty one,
he had made a posted, it said. Ashley Babbitt, a
fourteen year Air Force veteran, was shot and killed by
Capitol police in Washington yesterday. She was armed only with
her belief that the law should be distributed equally unfairly.
But she was in Washington, where election law is not
honored and justice does not apply to people like Clinton
(17:09):
and Kmy and others. The news coverage of the Trump
supporters and the Antifa riots of the summer were strikingly different.
I remember the media simply reporting the fires, looting, and
other damage caused by Antifa in a hulhum fashion. Trump
supporters protesting a tainted election were labeled a threat to
our nation and democracy. Last night, I did not hear
(17:32):
the media types condemn Ashley's shooting. To them, not only
did her vote not matter, but neither did her life.
Ashley Babbitt, I wish you had lived in a country
where you would not be murdered by police because of
your conviction. I hope that you may rest in peace,
but I'm confident the new media will be working over
time to uncover all your faults so they can justify
(17:54):
your demise. That was the post this listener put up,
and he wrote this about that post. On January seventh,
twenty twenty one, I posted a piece on my Facebook
page regarding the murder of Ashley Babbitt, which caused quite
an uproar amongst some friends and followers, so much so
(18:18):
that I removed the post because the comments got ugly
and turned into threats. In some cases, some of my
so called friends unfriended me and made it clear that
they did not care for my politics or me. But
the post was not about politics. The post was about
an unarmed woman that was shot and killed by a
(18:40):
Capitol police officer. I had mentioned and predicted unequal justice
in the post back then, and now events of today
proved me right. The Capitol police officer that shot and
killed an unarmed woman has been exonerated of any wrongdoing, so.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
So troubles me about this is a couple of statements.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
It caused quite an uproar amongst my friends and followers,
so much so that I removed the post because the
comments got ugly and turned into threats. In some cases,
if someone threatens you, you don't hide the fact that
(19:29):
they've done it. That's how that persists. You leave it
there for the whole world to see. You don't comment,
You just leave it there. You let everyone. You let
that person be exposed. If a friend unfriended you because
of your position on something that happened in Washington, DC,
(19:52):
that is not a friend.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
I think we use that term too lightly.
Speaker 5 (19:59):
Because some body works at the same place that you
Werek and y'all take your lunch at exactly the same time,
because better to have once with that person and no
one that's not necessarily a friend because they live in
the same neighborhood, not necessarily a friend because y'all went
to the same high school.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Not necessarily a friend.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
Don't confuse the two because you're you're in for some
really sad news.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
When you do, you're in for a shock.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
The tree of friendship has to be pruned on frequent occasion.
You don't need to have the most number of followers
you don't need to know the most number of people.
That is not the path to a fulfilling life. If
you have one good friend who you love and who
(20:56):
loves you, you're.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Ahead of the game.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
But most people don't have these exacting standards. They think
all these people are their friend because that guy hit
the button to friend you. Oh, it's flattering out of
the whole world. He hit the button, and we went
to high school for the other. Well, I'll hit the
button back and now we'll be friends. Why does he
care what your opinion of what happened in Washington, DC is? Anyway,
(21:28):
if your opinion on anything matters to an individual and
it's not his child or his wife involved, and he
lashes out at you, count yourself lucky. You just culled
(21:49):
from your life trash, And that's what that is. That
is trash. So many people come to me and say,
I don't know what to do. I got this friend
and he just oh, he just constantly taunts me over
Trump and he just, oh, it's gotten to where it's hard.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
To be around him. Let's start here. You don't have
a friend.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
You have a person who is coincidental to you to
space as y'all occupy or live, or ride to work
in or eat lunch.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
That is not a friend.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
I feel bad for you that you don't know what
a friend is, which must mean that you don't have
a friend. Go find a friend, a dog, for instance.
There are people that are awful and evil. Cut them
from your life. Stop feeling bad about that.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
This is the Michael Mary Show.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
It is time once again for another the rousing edition
of iys are truly.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
We'll start with John, John, what do you truly believe?
Speaker 10 (23:30):
I truly believe that enterprise product should be held accountable
to pay a fair price to the landowners for this
parkline they're running up in here to walk the county.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Are you a landowner? Yes, sir? And what are they offering?
Speaker 12 (23:47):
Fifty eight thousand.
Speaker 5 (23:50):
Total?
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Yeah, totally under what do they have the mineral rights?
Or how is this happening?
Speaker 10 (24:00):
What is the They just property took out close to
two hundred trees.
Speaker 12 (24:06):
It's an active dirt pit. They don't want to pay
for the dirt. They don't want to pay for nothing.
They haven't paid us and they lay in line in
here now and they haven't paid us nothing. You know,
this law is mess up.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
How many acres?
Speaker 13 (24:19):
Do you know?
Speaker 5 (24:19):
When thirty they they condemned thirty acres for fifty eight
thousand dollars.
Speaker 12 (24:28):
Well, they condemned the ride away, which crosses thirty acres.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
You live on it. Yes, you have a lawyer. Yes?
And what's he doing?
Speaker 12 (24:43):
Oh, he's battling. He's got like one hundred and forty
clients up there between Republic Grand Ranch and Texas Grand Ranch.
That's that's where I'm at. I'm right in between them.
Speaker 10 (24:52):
H And he's busy, he's bowed up. But you know
they dragged you know, Enterprise of dragging a feet on
fan of bill. You know it's a sixty two billion
dollar company and they can't play that bill.
Speaker 5 (25:05):
Well believe, but that's how they got to be sixty
two billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Richard. What do you truly believe? Richard?
Speaker 10 (25:15):
I truly believe on January sixth that the Capitol Fleet
were not beaten and killed. I believe one girl was
killed innocently.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
Rat me if I'm wrong, You're absolutely right. Ashley Babbitt
was shot and killed unarmed. And uh it is now
there is no report now that says a single officer
was beaten to death.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
That is not true.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
There were several officers who took their own life. Why
would you take your own life in the middle of
an unarmed, supposed insurrection. These are guys that have been
around armed people, some have been shot at before. What
about this was so troubling to to these guys. Well,
(26:01):
I'll tell you that they were forced to do something
that they didn't believe in, and that's not protect the capitol.
That is criminalized people who showed up wearing red, white
and blue, singing patriotic songs because they were worried about
the fall of our nation. These guys knew exactly what
was going on and they couldn't live with it, so
they took their own lives. They are victims of what
(26:23):
the Democrats did. The one guy I believe his name
is Slotnik that they tried to claim died from blunt
force to his head, that died later his own mother
said that is not true and stop saying it.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
He died of a stroke. He had health problems. Let's
go to Ben Ben. What do you, sir, truly.
Speaker 13 (26:42):
Believe Michael, I truly believe that you and Joe Rogan
should sit down together and interview each other. Or just
talk nonsense or shoot the you know what, I think
it would be fun to watch.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
It will be fun and it will happen. Baba. What
do you truly believe, Michael?
Speaker 14 (27:07):
Get down Berry?
Speaker 13 (27:08):
I truly believe my son, who graduated A and M
last Friday with honors nuclear engineering degree, is going to
do great things in his life.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Bubby, do you know you are one of only three
percent of Rednecks that can say nuclear without putting an
extra vowl in there? I commend you for that, jack Wagon.
What do you truly believe? Michael?
Speaker 13 (27:33):
I truly believe that after Trump being given a mobile McDonald's,
the only big question left on their bros' minds.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Is the league and swallow.
Speaker 5 (27:52):
Okay, I mean it's and I truly believe, Ramon, you
can't you can't you know, change the rules on them, Jeff,
what do you truly believe?
Speaker 13 (28:03):
Excuse me?
Speaker 14 (28:04):
I truly believe that property taxes in Harris County are absolutely,
wanted to say, unconstitutional and excessive, and I truly believe
that they should be eliminated.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
On what basis are they unconstitutional?
Speaker 14 (28:19):
Well, it's a it's excessive. Basically, it's an excessive fine.
For doing nothing. I mean, they call it a tax
or whatever, but my property tax could wind up one
hundred and forty eight dollars from last month to this month,
and I pay four hundred dollars house payments for my
house with homeowners insurance, and property taxes has cost me
(28:41):
over fifteen hundred a months.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Now, Well, I don't want to.
Speaker 14 (28:45):
I've had I've paid on my house for fifteen years.
Speaker 5 (28:47):
I don't want to quibble, but I believe the Texas
State Constitution includes a measure for an advaloreum property tax.
Could be wrong in that, but I believe that is
the case. However, your point is well taken. Let me
tell you something. The Republicans are as in on this
mess as the Democrats are. And that's what chaps my ass.
(29:10):
I mean, for that matter, Paul Bettencourt owns a company
that protests high property taxes. You think he's got any
incentive to lower property taxes. Imagine that you go to
the Senate a job you hold because you quit as
tax assessor collector. You just quit that job, and then
you run for the Senate. Great, he's a great SoundBite
(29:32):
on the evening news, Okay, and then you leave the
tax assessor collector job to team up with some folks
and a property tax company, and then you go to
the state Senate.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Okay, great, you're popular. I got it.
Speaker 5 (29:46):
I look most of what Paul Betton Court does I
really like, don't get me wrong, But I don't know
why nobody points out that you have a conflict of
interest that you don't want to lower property taxes because
you get paid off of fighting high property taxes. The
higher property taxes go, the more Paul Bettencourt makes. I
(30:07):
don't care how much you like the guy. He's a
good SoundBite, he's you know, your guy, or what you
can't tell me? You can't tell me. That's okay. But
everybody just sits around going, well, we like Paul, you
know he's he's you know, one of the best centers.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
He might be.
Speaker 5 (30:25):
He might be, But how can we think this is okay?
The Republicans could lower property taxes. They could, they could
force it, and they're not as simple as that. We'll
talk about different ways to tax We talk about this,
We'll talk about steak, we'll talk about you know, we'll
(30:46):
have a competition with another lower the damn taxes.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
That's all anybody cares about
It's that time time time, luck and load. So Michael

The Wall Street Journal reports the high school juniors with
seventy thousand dollars a year job offers at Philadelphia's Father Judge.
All twenty four graduating seniors in the welding program have
job offers, each paying fifty thousand or more, says welding
(01:48):
instructor Joe Williams. More employers, he said, reach out to
him every semester. The story from CBS Philadelphia.
Speaker 6 (01:58):
Jabriel Lopez spends the first two hours of his school
day welding.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
Someone kept saying we would get out of Spanish, and.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
I was like, oh wow.
Speaker 6 (02:06):
Standing beside him are his classmates Daniel, James, and now
the end is Kyle. They are part of the twenty
twenty two graduating first welding class a Father Judge High
School for boys. At the head of the class is
mister Joseph Williams.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
What kind of letters and what does these mean?
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Right here?
Speaker 3 (02:24):
This?
Speaker 6 (02:27):
As a welding specialist, william says, skilled trades are slowly
making a comeback.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
You can teach a young man to read blueprints at seventeen.
That's marketable.
Speaker 7 (02:35):
Everybody's leaving here with a career that is well deserved,
you know, making up words.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
To seventy thousand dollars a year. Everyone will be certified.
Speaker 6 (02:44):
At the end of this three year program in over
one thousand hours, students will have earned an American Welding
Society in Ocean's safety certifications.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
I'm going to Al three Harris and they do military
contract welding.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
I'm gonna def Fabrication.
Speaker 7 (03:00):
It's a government company and that helps with the US Navy.
Speaker 6 (03:04):
And Kyle and James and the hard hats. They are
going to hold Tech International in Camden, New Jersey.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Wells for nuclear reactors.
Speaker 6 (03:12):
Not bad for the first welding class to graduate in
the Archdiocese of Philadelphia. Alumni in School President Brian Patrick
King says, this is just the beginning.
Speaker 7 (03:21):
We are set to begin construction only twenty thousand square
foot eight million dollar building, the Career Pathways Academy that
will house not only the welding program, but we will
bring in automotive, HVAC, building trades, and C and C
machining into the new building to have multiple layers.
Speaker 6 (03:37):
And soon these four will be gone working as skilled welders.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
I know that I'll be getting a good paying job
and I'll.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Definitely be able to retire earlier than most people because
I want to have to work for as long, to
make the same amount of money.
Speaker 6 (03:51):
And to think it all start it inside this small
welding shop with thirty boys and mister Williams.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
That story from CBS Philadelphia was from twenty twenty two.
The Wall Street Journal just updated it with the news
story about seventy thousand dollars a year job offers KTRH
Morning News today had a story about nil name image likeness.
(04:22):
I am in favor of innil Now I realize that
most people, it turns out, are not.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
Well.
Speaker 5 (04:31):
Let me first say I think the product on the air,
on the field.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
Football. We'll start with football.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
This past year, past two years, has been better than
it's been in the past. Now there are people who
say yoah, but the coaches don't like it.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Wait a minute.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
Nick Saban, who was making ten million dollars a year
to be a coach, didn't like the fact that the
players were getting paid at most.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
A million bucks.
Speaker 5 (05:02):
He didn't like the fact that he didn't have absolute
utter control over them because some other school was paying
them money to go there, and these guys had options.
How about this, how about he play for room and board. Oh,
he doesn't want that. The coaches want to be able
(05:23):
to move around for higher pay and benefits, but not
have the players do it. Well, it's like the NFL, Michael,
It's like the NFL. Now, the kids they don't care
about where they go to school. You really think, you
really think Eric Dickerson cared where he was going to
(05:44):
go to school. He got his Golden trans am, he
got his bundle of cash. Why did he move schools
at the last minute? How about Kyler Murray moving schools.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
At the last minute? How about all the players moving
schools before we had nil? How could they do that.
Speaker 5 (06:05):
Michael, I'm an aggie, and I want them to go
to A and M because they love the university. They
want to go where they can make the most impact
and increase the likelihood that they can play professional football.
They'll wear your jersey or they'll wear another one. They'll
(06:27):
be an LSU Tiger as soon as they'll be a
Crimson Tide, as soon as they'll be an Auburn war Eagle,
as soon as they'll be an Oklahoma sooner. But Michael,
I'm a Okhoma sooner. I want them to go there,
and I want them to love it. And they're supposed
to be a student athlete.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Don't forget that. You want to watch a bunch of
kids run up and down the field where in your
school's uniform and think they give a damn about your
fraternity or or your ritual or your experience.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
You really believe that, you're dumb enough to believe that,
or you like this little fantasy land that we live in.
Well Nil started paying, as in Il said. The fans
who want the best players on their team understand it's
it's Jimmy's and Joe's, not x'es and o's. You got
(07:23):
the best players, you're probably gonna win, right And by
the way Saban had the best players, his worry was
he would no longer have the lock on the best players.
People paying other people for what they want is as
old as time. Now you've got these young people. The
(07:43):
ktr H story was they're paying them in high school,
and the guests said something about it.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
I heard just go, we're gonna get these kids in
these pipeline and playing ball. It ain't about playing ball, fool.
Speaker 5 (07:54):
If I want to sell cheves, and I got a
high school kid that everybody in the neighborhood loves, and
I pay him ten grand to sell cheves, that's what
he's gonna do. And look at these guys. They're getting
paid good money with a welding job and no college degree,
which means no death. Michael berrys George, I can't excite it.
(08:20):
The guy snuck up beside me and shouted food so
loud that I lost all my hearing in my left ear.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
He scared me half to death.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
Why did the time traveler get fired from his new
job because he kept showing up?
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Yesterday? Big national news.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
Yesterday focused on Houston, a seven day ice operation in
the Houston area resulted in four one hundred twenty two arrests.
Brett Bradford with the Houston ICE Field Office says, after
illegally entering the country, these violent criminal aliens have infiltrated
(09:16):
our local communities and reigned terror on law abiding residents,
leaving countless innocent victims in their wake.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
The story from Fox News National.
Speaker 8 (09:29):
We joined ICE for this exclusive week long operation. More
than four hundred and twenty illegal migrants taken off the
streets here in Houston. The majority were criminal convictions or
had pending criminal convictions. You had everything from murder's robberies
to sexual assault of a child's.
Speaker 9 (09:48):
He did twenty one plus years for murder in Columbia.
He was involved in a lot of organized crime in Columbia.
Speaker 8 (09:55):
ICE officials pull up and arrest this illegal migrant, who,
according to ICE, is a convicted or from Columbia. It
is caught by border patrol last year and then released
because of the Bided administration's catch and release policies. And
watch this so twice deported illegal migrant from Mexico. He
tried to flee in his car and then make a
run for it before he was captured. And arrested. According
(10:17):
to ICE, he has multiple convictions in the US, including arson,
aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, and DWI.
Speaker 9 (10:23):
This is a week long operation where we really fled
the zone with additional resources from all these agencies and
come together trying to make the biggest impact and get
as many of these folks off.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
The streets as we possibly can.
Speaker 8 (10:33):
More than two hundred of the illegal migrants arrested had
final orders of removal, according to ICE, including this thirty
six year old criminal migrant from El Salvador. ICE is
speeding up that removal process now, so instead of bringing
them to detention centers and taking up space the illegal
migrants with final orders of removal, they're being transferred to
hub locations immediately and then quickly deported to their home countries.
Speaker 9 (10:56):
We can arrest the individual this morning, process in this afternoon,
and him on removal flight this evening same day, saving
taxpayer costs and just to make it a more efficient
and expedited process to get these folks out.
Speaker 10 (11:09):
Of the countries.
Speaker 8 (11:10):
I Meanwhile, at the southern border, numbers there continue to
stay drastically low. According to the CBP's latest monthly report,
Apprehensions are down in ninety percent compared to this time
last year.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
Imagine that it can be done. It really can.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
Remember the liberal activist Wisconsin judge Hannah Dugan indicted now
for trying to prevent Ice from executing an arrest warrant
on a previously deported illegal alien by grabbing him and
his lawyer, shoving them into her chambers, closing the door
behind her, and sending them out the back door. Fox
(11:54):
six Milwaukee with the story.
Speaker 11 (11:56):
Milwaukee County Judge Christolla Servera entered Milwaukee Federal courthousew Tuesday
alongside Milwaukee defense attorney Michael Hart.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
Once inside, the two were.
Speaker 11 (12:05):
Later seen walking down a hallway where the grand jury
is reportedly meeting. Servera and Hart left the courthouse about
an hour later. Servera, who handles misdemeanor cases on the
sixth floor of the Milwaukee County Courthouse, works on the
same floor as Dugan. Servera's arrival followed that of Ellen Freed,
Dugan's court clerk, who spotted leaving the federal building at
around three pm Tuesday morning. State public defender Mercedes Dela
(12:26):
Rosa walked inside, flanked by several other people. Del Rosa
represented the man at the center of the case twenty
nine year old Eduardo Flores Ruiz. He was in Dugan's
county courtroom last month on a misdemeanor battery case. Federal
prosecutor say Dugan learned federal agents were outside her courtroom
to arrest Floras Ruiz, a Mexican national previously removed from
the US. Filing say Dugan left the bench and told
(12:48):
agents to go to the chief Judge's office down the hall.
Prosecutors say she returned to the bench and escorted Floras
Ruiz through a jury door and told his attorney, Dela Rosa,
she and her client should leave through the back door
of the court room. Filing say that two re entered
the public hallway and were spotted by two DEA agents,
one of which rode on an elevator with them down
to the first floor of the courthouse for as. Ruiz
(13:09):
was later arrested after a short chase. Now, the Wisconsin
Supreme Court has since suspended Dugan indefinitely since she was
arrested and charged by federal prosecutors late last month. Dugan
is due back in court on Thursday.
Speaker 5 (13:26):
They really did have to show their hand, They really
did want us to be overrun with illegal aliens, including rapists, murderers, traffickers.
They really did want this. For years they said they didn't.
For years they said, no, we should just be merciful.
(13:48):
You should be Christ like what would Christ do? You
should be like Christ? You're not even a believer. Don't
try to use that against me. And a silliness is this.
We're just being compassionate. They just want a better life.
They're good people. They're just doing the jobs that Americans
(14:12):
won't do. Remember all that, But we're not trying to
overwhelm the system with them. We're not trying to flood
the zone with all these people. We don't want the
bad guys. But they did want the bad guys. They
wanted as many as they could. They want to destroy
this country. I have absolutely no compunction in saying these
(14:34):
people should.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
Not pull public office.
Speaker 5 (14:37):
I won't hire them, I won't promote them, I won't
do business with them.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
They are destroying this country. Fat God, you know what,
We're overdue for a little, I truly believe.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
I was driving back to town from Republic Grand Ranch a
couple of years ago, so I had some time, just
me and my cigar and some windshield, and I'm driving
along thinking about all the crazy things that were happening.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
This was during the Biden administration.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
And as I thought about various crazy things that were happening,
and much of it by design, how many truths were
being called lies, how many lies were being called truth,
and it was bothering me. And I decided that I
couldn't control other people. I could only control myself. And so,
(15:37):
just as you do with your faith, I decided that
what I would do is I would hold firm to
the truth. And so I simply began stating simple truths
that I knew to be the case, and that I
didn't care who disagreed with or what they said. They're
in the truck by myself, and I started by saying,
(15:59):
I truly believe that. And some of the things were controversial,
and some of them were simple and silly, but it
gave me a sense of grounding to know that nobody
could shake my faith, nobody could alter my reality, no
(16:22):
matter how hard they tried. I got an email this morning,
by the way, we're going to play, and I truly
believe seven one three nine nine nine one thousand. Remember
when I go to you, you say I truly believe
that the shorter and sharper the better. They said, and Hi,
it's going to be a long story. No, no, no, no,
you go right to it. So I got an email
from a fellow that he had made a post and
(16:47):
it went like this. On January seventh of twenty twenty one,
he had made a posted, it said. Ashley Babbitt, a
fourteen year Air Force veteran, was shot and killed by
Capitol police in Washington yesterday. She was armed only with
her belief that the law should be distributed equally unfairly.
But she was in Washington, where election law is not
honored and justice does not apply to people like Clinton
(17:09):
and Kmy and others. The news coverage of the Trump
supporters and the Antifa riots of the summer were strikingly different.
I remember the media simply reporting the fires, looting, and
other damage caused by Antifa in a hulhum fashion. Trump
supporters protesting a tainted election were labeled a threat to
our nation and democracy. Last night, I did not hear
(17:32):
the media types condemn Ashley's shooting. To them, not only
did her vote not matter, but neither did her life.
Ashley Babbitt, I wish you had lived in a country
where you would not be murdered by police because of
your conviction. I hope that you may rest in peace,
but I'm confident the new media will be working over
time to uncover all your faults so they can justify
(17:54):
your demise. That was the post this listener put up,
and he wrote this about that post. On January seventh,
twenty twenty one, I posted a piece on my Facebook
page regarding the murder of Ashley Babbitt, which caused quite
an uproar amongst some friends and followers, so much so
(18:18):
that I removed the post because the comments got ugly
and turned into threats. In some cases, some of my
so called friends unfriended me and made it clear that
they did not care for my politics or me. But
the post was not about politics. The post was about
an unarmed woman that was shot and killed by a
(18:40):
Capitol police officer. I had mentioned and predicted unequal justice
in the post back then, and now events of today
proved me right. The Capitol police officer that shot and
killed an unarmed woman has been exonerated of any wrongdoing, so.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
So troubles me about this is a couple of statements.
Speaker 5 (19:07):
It caused quite an uproar amongst my friends and followers,
so much so that I removed the post because the
comments got ugly and turned into threats. In some cases,
if someone threatens you, you don't hide the fact that
(19:29):
they've done it. That's how that persists. You leave it
there for the whole world to see. You don't comment,
You just leave it there. You let everyone. You let
that person be exposed. If a friend unfriended you because
of your position on something that happened in Washington, DC,
(19:52):
that is not a friend.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
I think we use that term too lightly.
Speaker 5 (19:59):
Because some body works at the same place that you
Werek and y'all take your lunch at exactly the same time,
because better to have once with that person and no
one that's not necessarily a friend because they live in
the same neighborhood, not necessarily a friend because y'all went
to the same high school.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Not necessarily a friend.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
Don't confuse the two because you're you're in for some
really sad news.
Speaker 1 (20:28):
When you do, you're in for a shock.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
The tree of friendship has to be pruned on frequent occasion.
You don't need to have the most number of followers
you don't need to know the most number of people.
That is not the path to a fulfilling life. If
you have one good friend who you love and who
(20:56):
loves you, you're.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
Ahead of the game.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
But most people don't have these exacting standards. They think
all these people are their friend because that guy hit
the button to friend you. Oh, it's flattering out of
the whole world. He hit the button, and we went
to high school for the other. Well, I'll hit the
button back and now we'll be friends. Why does he
care what your opinion of what happened in Washington, DC is? Anyway,
(21:28):
if your opinion on anything matters to an individual and
it's not his child or his wife involved, and he
lashes out at you, count yourself lucky. You just culled
(21:49):
from your life trash, And that's what that is. That
is trash. So many people come to me and say,
I don't know what to do. I got this friend
and he just oh, he just constantly taunts me over
Trump and he just, oh, it's gotten to where it's hard.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
To be around him. Let's start here. You don't have
a friend.
Speaker 5 (22:16):
You have a person who is coincidental to you to
space as y'all occupy or live, or ride to work
in or eat lunch.
Speaker 1 (22:25):
That is not a friend.
Speaker 5 (22:27):
I feel bad for you that you don't know what
a friend is, which must mean that you don't have
a friend. Go find a friend, a dog, for instance.
There are people that are awful and evil. Cut them
from your life. Stop feeling bad about that.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
This is the Michael Mary Show.
Speaker 5 (22:58):
It is time once again for another the rousing edition
of iys are truly.
Speaker 1 (23:25):
We'll start with John, John, what do you truly believe?
Speaker 10 (23:30):
I truly believe that enterprise product should be held accountable
to pay a fair price to the landowners for this
parkline they're running up in here to walk the county.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Are you a landowner? Yes, sir? And what are they offering?
Speaker 12 (23:47):
Fifty eight thousand.
Speaker 5 (23:50):
Total?
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Yeah, totally under what do they have the mineral rights?
Or how is this happening?
Speaker 10 (24:00):
What is the They just property took out close to
two hundred trees.
Speaker 12 (24:06):
It's an active dirt pit. They don't want to pay
for the dirt. They don't want to pay for nothing.
They haven't paid us and they lay in line in
here now and they haven't paid us nothing. You know,
this law is mess up.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
How many acres?
Speaker 13 (24:19):
Do you know?
Speaker 5 (24:19):
When thirty they they condemned thirty acres for fifty eight
thousand dollars.
Speaker 12 (24:28):
Well, they condemned the ride away, which crosses thirty acres.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
You live on it. Yes, you have a lawyer. Yes?
And what's he doing?
Speaker 12 (24:43):
Oh, he's battling. He's got like one hundred and forty
clients up there between Republic Grand Ranch and Texas Grand Ranch.
That's that's where I'm at. I'm right in between them.
Speaker 10 (24:52):
H And he's busy, he's bowed up. But you know
they dragged you know, Enterprise of dragging a feet on
fan of bill. You know it's a sixty two billion
dollar company and they can't play that bill.
Speaker 5 (25:05):
Well believe, but that's how they got to be sixty
two billion dollars.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Richard. What do you truly believe? Richard?
Speaker 10 (25:15):
I truly believe on January sixth that the Capitol Fleet
were not beaten and killed. I believe one girl was
killed innocently.
Speaker 5 (25:24):
Rat me if I'm wrong, You're absolutely right. Ashley Babbitt
was shot and killed unarmed. And uh it is now
there is no report now that says a single officer
was beaten to death.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
That is not true.
Speaker 5 (25:41):
There were several officers who took their own life. Why
would you take your own life in the middle of
an unarmed, supposed insurrection. These are guys that have been
around armed people, some have been shot at before. What
about this was so troubling to to these guys. Well,
(26:01):
I'll tell you that they were forced to do something
that they didn't believe in, and that's not protect the capitol.
That is criminalized people who showed up wearing red, white
and blue, singing patriotic songs because they were worried about
the fall of our nation. These guys knew exactly what
was going on and they couldn't live with it, so
they took their own lives. They are victims of what
(26:23):
the Democrats did. The one guy I believe his name
is Slotnik that they tried to claim died from blunt
force to his head, that died later his own mother
said that is not true and stop saying it.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
He died of a stroke. He had health problems. Let's
go to Ben Ben. What do you, sir, truly.
Speaker 13 (26:42):
Believe Michael, I truly believe that you and Joe Rogan
should sit down together and interview each other. Or just
talk nonsense or shoot the you know what, I think
it would be fun to watch.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
It will be fun and it will happen. Baba. What
do you truly believe, Michael?
Speaker 14 (27:07):
Get down Berry?
Speaker 13 (27:08):
I truly believe my son, who graduated A and M
last Friday with honors nuclear engineering degree, is going to
do great things in his life.
Speaker 1 (27:18):
Bubby, do you know you are one of only three
percent of Rednecks that can say nuclear without putting an
extra vowl in there? I commend you for that, jack Wagon.
What do you truly believe? Michael?
Speaker 13 (27:33):
I truly believe that after Trump being given a mobile McDonald's,
the only big question left on their bros' minds.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Is the league and swallow.
Speaker 5 (27:52):
Okay, I mean it's and I truly believe, Ramon, you
can't you can't you know, change the rules on them, Jeff,
what do you truly believe?
Speaker 13 (28:03):
Excuse me?
Speaker 14 (28:04):
I truly believe that property taxes in Harris County are absolutely,
wanted to say, unconstitutional and excessive, and I truly believe
that they should be eliminated.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
On what basis are they unconstitutional?
Speaker 14 (28:19):
Well, it's a it's excessive. Basically, it's an excessive fine.
For doing nothing. I mean, they call it a tax
or whatever, but my property tax could wind up one
hundred and forty eight dollars from last month to this month,
and I pay four hundred dollars house payments for my
house with homeowners insurance, and property taxes has cost me
(28:41):
over fifteen hundred a months.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Now, Well, I don't want to.
Speaker 14 (28:45):
I've had I've paid on my house for fifteen years.
Speaker 5 (28:47):
I don't want to quibble, but I believe the Texas
State Constitution includes a measure for an advaloreum property tax.
Could be wrong in that, but I believe that is
the case. However, your point is well taken. Let me
tell you something. The Republicans are as in on this
mess as the Democrats are. And that's what chaps my ass.
(29:10):
I mean, for that matter, Paul Bettencourt owns a company
that protests high property taxes. You think he's got any
incentive to lower property taxes. Imagine that you go to
the Senate a job you hold because you quit as
tax assessor collector. You just quit that job, and then
you run for the Senate. Great, he's a great SoundBite
(29:32):
on the evening news, Okay, and then you leave the
tax assessor collector job to team up with some folks
and a property tax company, and then you go to
the state Senate.
Speaker 1 (29:44):
Okay, great, you're popular. I got it.
Speaker 5 (29:46):
I look most of what Paul Betton Court does I
really like, don't get me wrong, But I don't know
why nobody points out that you have a conflict of
interest that you don't want to lower property taxes because
you get paid off of fighting high property taxes. The
higher property taxes go, the more Paul Bettencourt makes. I
(30:07):
don't care how much you like the guy. He's a
good SoundBite, he's you know, your guy, or what you
can't tell me? You can't tell me. That's okay. But
everybody just sits around going, well, we like Paul, you
know he's he's you know, one of the best centers.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
He might be.
Speaker 5 (30:25):
He might be, But how can we think this is okay?
The Republicans could lower property taxes. They could, they could
force it, and they're not as simple as that. We'll
talk about different ways to tax We talk about this,
We'll talk about steak, we'll talk about you know, we'll
(30:46):
have a competition with another lower the damn taxes.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
That's all anybody cares about
