Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Time, time, time, Luck and load.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
The Michael Very Show is on the.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Air March twenty First, the world loss a legend, a boxer,
a preacher, father and businessman, a friend, a husband, an
(00:36):
inspiration in George Foreman.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
And now you thought you wouldn't hear the name George
Foreman again other than talking about his legacy. Another George
Foreman is running for Congress in the last I think
it's fifteen months. I have to check that number again.
Six Democrat Congressmen have died in office, six in just
over a year, two of them going back to July
(01:03):
nineteenth of last year when Sheila Jackson Lee died. Two
of them in the same congressional district, the eighteenth Congressional district,
first served by Barbara Jordan. The district was sort of
created for Barbara Jordan, and she held that seat until
Mickey Leland, and then we went through the list of
the few who've held it since then. When Sheila Jackson
(01:26):
Lee passed July nineteenth of last year, she was succeeded
by Sylvester Turner, who was just finished becoming or finished
being the mayor of the City of Houston and shortly
thereafter he too would pass, so two of the six
in that one congressional seat. In less than one year,
that seat has lost two congressmen. There will be an
(01:47):
election for the replacement and for the congressman who will
serve the eighteenth Congressional district, and George Foreman is running.
He is better known, especially by friends and family, by
his nickname, which is Big Wiell. Big Will welcome to
the program.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Good morning, and I'm happy to be here with you.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
I love to have you. Don't get all the formal
over me now, so it's a great honor.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
I'm sorry, go ahead, No, it's a great honor. I
got to sit in the background. Well, my dad got
to be a part of these shows and talk a
lot about his love for country, his love for Texas,
and now I get to follow in that trend. So
big shoes to fill, not just on the congressional side,
but big shoes to fill on the family side, too.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Big shoes for Big Wheel. Let's talk about that big,
beautiful family of yours. I'm sure you've pulled everybody together
and told them, hey, I'm running for Congress. How does
that go? And did that include your your your, your pop?
Big George when he was still all out, which was
not so long ago.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
George has always been a big part of my dreams,
setting big goals and big dreams. From a child, he said,
you can be anything. You know what, you can be president,
And as a young kid back in high school, I
made a personal go I went to the Governor of Texas.
I even had a chance to meet and learn from
the governor firsthand, ask advice, ask perspective. And now here
(03:13):
I am years later running for Congress. So the path
forward is beautiful. George has always been a part of
my vision building, and sadly it was after he passed
I got to make my formal announcement. But these dreams
are always a part of our conversation and a big
part of why. He said, you know, you got the
name George foreman. If you do something, we all do something.
(03:34):
If you go up, we all go up. You go down,
we all go down. So he linked us forever. So
I had to make clear when I was running for Congress,
to let all the Georgies know we're running for Congress now,
so get ready.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
It's a big, beautiful family and a big powerful name.
And he was always very mindful of that name. That's
why when his name was behind a product or a cause,
it was always very successful because people respected that. And
I know you're mindful of that. You have also followed
in his path as a pastor of the church he
(04:07):
found it. Talk a little bit about that.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
George founded the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. He
was actually in the Banuist. He traveled the world telling
the story about how Jesus Christ saved him in the
dressing room in Puerto Rico and made a prophet out
of him. Well, when he got ill, me and my
family took it upon ourselves to keep that church alive.
Don't let Jesus go, he would always say. So we
(04:30):
took it upon ourselves to keep it up. We even
got to have the opportunity to preach at his burial,
so we got never even imagined would be a part
of my life. But that church is still alive today,
and that mission to keep Jesus alive is still alive through.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Us as a congressman, Will you continue to pastor the church?
Speaker 4 (04:51):
The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is alive and
slowing And as long as I'm alive. I told George,
I said, you know what will take care of this.
You just focus on getting better. If I have to
do this thirty years for you to get on your feet,
I'll do it.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Well.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
We were not quite thirty years after now, but as
long as I'm alive, this ministry will continue.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
It's an interesting district. I've looked at that district over
the years. I know obviously where your dad was, and
you've got a big family out on the northeast side.
As a big, sprawling district, that's a lot of ground
to cover.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
The district is big and growing. From what I can imagine,
there's a lot of people to represent, but I think
there couldn't be. We did a project when I was
just a child called the George Foreman Grill, and my
dad originally thought we would just have sixteen grills, enough
for his camp, enough for his program, but come to
find out, the product was good and the spokesperson was
(05:47):
pretty good, so we ended up selling one hundred and
fifty million or more grills. And more is better in
my opinion, and more people in.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
Our disco, I would I would say, So, what has
been the thing about campaigning for Congress that was different
or it surprised you that you hadn't You hadn't expected.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
You know. What I wasn't prepared for was the infighting,
have friends, family, Everyone got an opinion about what the
district could and should look like. But I think it's
perfect preparation for getting the Congress and doing some of
the fighting to advocate on behalf of the district and
on behalf of the American people. So I'm getting all
my sparring done now in preparation for the war to come.
(06:32):
I'm well prepared.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
You know.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
I didn't expect that. You know, I thought I'd make
the announcement and everyone would be bandwagon and throwing money.
But people got opinions before they can give a dollar,
that's for sure. But it's all welcome, all the dollars
in all the opinions.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
I'll welcome it.
Speaker 6 (06:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Somebody sent me an article about somebody whose name I
won't mention, who's a former in law of yours, and
was off, you know, talking about this or that, and
he was not supporting. You're a good guy, but he's
not going to support it. And I thought, you know,
it is only in eighteen congressional district that that makes print.
Nobody does that in other districts, nobody has to deal
(07:08):
with that silly drama. Don't let that bother you run
your race, do your best. Don't let that distraction in
that district. It will drag you into the mud and
it's unproductive. And especially as a pastor who is so
well respected and with a name that you were fortunate
to have and now carry to the next to the
next rank. Don't let them drag you down on all
(07:30):
that big will.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
I appreciate that you know I grew up in a
boxing family. The people we love most would actually show
up at the gym, put on your headgear, gloves and
fight you. Those are people who loved and carried you
about to you the most because they wanted you well. Prepare.
Everything that I hear during this campaign for me is
sparring and preparation for the battle above. If you have
(07:53):
something of conflict to say about me, say it now,
because I'm going to be representing you going forward. So
let's say say what you have to say. Say what's needed.
Let me hear it. Go on to my website www
dot for George Foreman four dot org.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Go on there.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
But then your information, let's be apart from the great together.
If you have something bad to say, say it now,
because I'm taking it all the way to the Capitol.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
I love it. George Foreman the Fourth aka Big Will,
Thank you, brother, good luck. Hey, this is Tracy Bird.
Speaker 7 (08:23):
And I tip my hand to the keeper the Star.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
And you're forgetting how pretty Harry Nilson's was.
Speaker 6 (08:41):
Let you go.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
You see the bio pic on who wants everybody always
looking at me? What is it everybody's talking at It's good.
A bit of a tragic life, a lot of a
lot of struggles in his life. Harry. Harry made life
very difficult for Harry. I got emails from folks who
(09:04):
live in the eighteen congressional district and will be voting there,
asking if I would be supporting George Foreman the Fourth
aka Big Will, and I will quote the Great James A.
Baker the Third in one of the finest lines of
politics I've ever heard. I'll speak for you or against you,
(09:24):
whichever one will help you the most. So that's how
I feel about that race. Would I like to see
George Forman the Fourth win? Absolutely? Yes, he's a good person,
he's a good man. But how how I help him
is not by screaming and hollering at the top of
(09:46):
my lungs that that that is my candidate. They will
use that against him. You know, you should. You should
want a congressman that everybody supports. You'd think, right, here's
the person that has friends across the aisle. Here's a
person that hadn't been in politics. Here's a person that well,
you get the point. A very happy birthday to our
friend Joe's Slovacheck today. Joe is a real estate lawyer
(10:12):
by day, and I'm told a darn goodwin. He has
a firm called Hoover's Slovacheck. I think it used to
be Hoover Banks and Slovacheck back in the day. But
when I was first running for city council, I got
to know Joe and he was one of those guys
that made a lot of introductions for me and incredibly
(10:33):
well connected. He's one of those people that has the
political bug and always has. He is he'll he's meeting
with some presidential candidate, gubernatorial candidate, congressional candidate, state rep.
At all times. He is very, very interested in good
government and having good government. He spent a lot of time,
(10:55):
donated a lot of time as I think he was
General counsel of the Harris Country Republican Party. I don't
don't know exactly what the title was, but in any case,
I think the firm is now just Hoover Slowcheck. They
must have kicked Banks out from moment. They probably kick Bank.
I don't know what happened to Banks, just Hoover Slowchick now,
which means at some point it'll be Hoover or Slowcheck
because all the firms. The big trend is you no
(11:17):
longer have two names in there, right, You used to
all have It used to be Arnold White and Durky
and Vincent and Elkins and fau Brighton Jeworsk. Of course
that's Norton Ditto now or Norton something. Norton Ditto would
be a better name for him than what they got now.
And then uh yeah, all those firms that were two names,
Becker Bots, all those, all of them, they just kept
(11:39):
shrinking the names down anyway. Joe Slovichak turns eighty five today,
So a very happy birthday to Joe Slovachik if you
know him. Now Here's just people always argue with me
over this. People play games on their age. So people
are going to go, no, no, he told me he's
seventy five. Of course he did. Okay, here's what happens.
(11:59):
Nobody knows when Joe was fifty. He told people he
was forty and nobody looked it up. So that was
thirty five years ago. So people measure from that date
and they think that now he's seventy five, he's eighty five.
(12:22):
So I'm not saying he looks great for seventy five,
but he don't look bad for seventy five. But when
you know he's eighty five, that's my dad's age. Yeh,
that's impressive. That's something to be very impressed with. Yeah,
we're gonna let's do that story again. Because I don't
think people were paying attention. I read the intro. This
is clipping number seven from Fox RGV. Man on South
(12:45):
Padre Island arrested for attacking two coworkers with a concrete
circular saw as they worked on a construction project. Now
when you hear that, you go, oh, he chased him
with a saw, Like you know, yeah, okay, that's fine,
that's kind of scary. You think, oh, man, that circular saw,
(13:06):
that would hurt you. Quit chasing me, you might fall
when you trip, you hit into me and okay, I
got it, but he cut him. Do you realize how
gross that had to feel to hold the circular saw.
I'm into a bit of the ultra violence, but not that,
not that that. That's one I don't know. I think
(13:29):
I could stab somebody, but I couldn't. I couldn't fire
up the circular saw. And I mean, you know, blood
was squirting everywhere. Think about that. I wonder if he
was wearing glasses. If he wasn't wearing glasses, you think
about this, even if you held it down low, waist high.
Let's see, he got one in his arm and one
in the back of his neck. If you hit somebody
(13:50):
on the back of your neck, I mean, there had
to be blood spatter everywhere. I said blood splatter the
other day and I had a forensic uh a forensic
forensic I don't remember forensic. What are you is? Forensic scientists?
Forensic something? Send me an email saying, Hey, just so
you know, it's spatter, not splatter, but it sometimes the
(14:13):
spatter will splatter, and that's you know, you know, That's
what I'm trying to be clear about. Anyway, I got
to thinking about that. Do you realize how much blood
would be squirting out when you hit a circular saw
on a dude? I mean, process that for a moment.
I don't mind blood in terms of blood. You know,
(14:35):
doesn't freak me out or scare me or you know,
like some people pass out when they see it. Remember
was it quincy m D Or what was it? Remember?
That doesn't bother me. But it doesn't matter what the
I don't want water splattering up in my face. I mean,
think about this for a moment. So listen to this
story and just think about the blood spatter.
Speaker 8 (14:54):
Splatter South Padre Island, where two construction workers were hospitalized
after both were attacked by one of their co workers
with a circular saw. That person is now behind bars.
According to the Cameron County Park Rangers, the attack happened
at around three in.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
The afternoon at Beach Access three.
Speaker 8 (15:12):
Authority say a four to fourth person crew of the
subcontractors were working at the site when one of them
grabbed the saw, cutting one in the arm and another
in the leg.
Speaker 7 (15:24):
Both the victims that were at the illustrations they arm
in the leg were transported to Validoptist in the suspect
he's being held that he was taken to a believe
otage in medical.
Speaker 8 (15:36):
Now Cameron authorities having said what caused the attack.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Well, I don't know that it matters. I'm gonna just
think about the blood spatter. Plus, did you notice you
put the wrong embassis on the salable? He said? Subcontractor,
the subcontractor, Lady the Michael Barry Show, please clap, please,
(16:04):
please clap. So I'm fifty four. My wife's fifty seven,
and so I can remember fifty four was I mean,
(16:24):
you weren't in the grave. Once you're on the way right,
you're sniffing it. You're not. Nobody's giving you a thirty
year mortgage, you know what I mean? And I remember
thinking of it the number that way, and then I go,
but I'm fifty four. Oh, I feel like I'm about
to die. But I mean, we're all gonna die. It
(16:46):
feels weird to say your age, and I guess it
just gets worse, huh, because you get older. I say
that because it's Dana Carvey's birthday. So I looked up
how old do you think Dana Carvey is? He's ninety three.
Speaker 9 (17:03):
I'm just kidding, Dana carvey Is seventy seventy seventy was old,
and Dana carvey Is said that feels weird.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
Doesn't it.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Let me tell you something. His impersonation of George hw
Bush was one of those rare impersonations that kind of
replaced the actual person. That persona replaced the actual person
(17:36):
in the public psyche. When you saw George hw Bush
after this, and by the way, George hw Bush loved
the impersonation, I think that says a lot. When you
can laugh at yourself, I think that says a lot.
It's good, it's a good sign. But when you saw
George H. W Bush immediately after you saw that one
(17:57):
b prahadon't you thought to yourself, you're just you're like
imitating Dana Carvey imitating you. It was it was unkeeny.
I don't recall even rich Little who was so good
as as Ronald Reagan. Everybody could do Ronald Reagan as well.
You know his starting a sentence, well, well after he
(18:20):
did that. Everybody, you know, once you see how to
do it, then you can you imitate the imitation. Right,
But Dana Carvey's impersonation, I mean, I'm trying to think
if there's a better one than I've ever seen. There's
some good Shane Gillis does a good Trump, but he
doesn't stay in character long enough. Anyway, Here was Dana
Carvey as George H. W. Bush.
Speaker 10 (18:42):
Good evening, Happy holidays to y'all. Once again, it's that
festive season. Tonight, our Jewish friends observed the fifth night
of Hanaka, the celebration of a military victory one centuries
ago on a part of the world where today four
hundred thousand brave Americans await my order to annihilate Iraq.
(19:10):
None of us want war in that whole area out
over there, but as commander in chief, I am ever
cognizant of my authority to launch a full scale orgy
of death there on the desert sand. Probably won't, but
then again I might.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
It was a good one, Kim Ogg says. One of
the Venezuelan illegal immigrants charged with the murder of Joscelyn
Nungera is accused of sexually assaulting an American woman who
is vacationing in Costa Rica. Fox twenty six with the story,
So you're.
Speaker 11 (19:49):
Saying this isn't the first time the Peigna has been
accused free.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
That's correct.
Speaker 12 (19:55):
To just know that this happened to another woman.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
It hurts my heart.
Speaker 12 (20:01):
Really, A piece of b shatters a little bit.
Speaker 11 (20:04):
June twenty twenty four, twelve year old Jocelyn Nungree's body
was found in a bayo on West Rincoin Road. Two
undocumented Venezuela nationals, Johann Jose Martinez Ranguel and Franklin Jose
Beanya Ramos, are charged with capital murder, accused of sexually
assaulting then killing Jocelyn kem Ogg was the Harris County
District Attorney at the time. Her office gathered the evidence
(20:27):
they needed to seek the death penalty in the case,
and now she's revealing a key piece that helps secure
that option.
Speaker 13 (20:35):
What we learned during the course of the investigation was
that one of the suspects, Panya, had been involved in
a prior sexual assault.
Speaker 11 (20:45):
She says, a victim from another state was attacked while
on vacation before Jocelyn's killing.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
It happened in Costa Rica.
Speaker 13 (20:53):
It happened to an American citizen who came forward with
that information after their picked were.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Shown on national television.
Speaker 12 (21:02):
I'm very glad that this young woman had the courage
to come forward.
Speaker 11 (21:10):
That evidence specifically helped you meet this.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Determination for seeking death.
Speaker 13 (21:15):
I believe it helped the entire committee make the determination.
Speaker 11 (21:19):
Is this information that you had ever known or is
this new to you too?
Speaker 2 (21:24):
This is definitely news to me.
Speaker 12 (21:27):
I always felt in my heart that this was never
their first time, especially Peya.
Speaker 11 (21:34):
Why are you sharing this now because I am very
concerned about the decisions that my successor district attorney has
been making.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
When she reported it to the authorities in Costa Rica.
Speaker 13 (21:49):
They did nothing, and so imagine the frustration of that individual.
I do not want that to be swept under the carpet.
I think it's important for the public to get to
the final say do they deserve death for the rape.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
And murder of Jocelyn?
Speaker 13 (22:07):
Or should they spend their life in the penitentiary. What
I don't want is some backdoor deal done in the
quiet of the night and a long time from now,
once people have forgotten the horror of this case.
Speaker 12 (22:22):
I see this as a reoccurring reoffender scenario, and because
he wasn't held accountable for his actions when he did
this to this other young woman, he should be held
accountable for this young child whose life was taken.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Kim Ogg will be our guest early next week about
some of the details of waste in Harris County that
were uncovered that there was not yet time to prosecute
as she was defeated in the Democrat primary and left
office in December. There were a slew of cases brought
(23:06):
in those last few months and there are details. I
think some of those cases being picked up by the FEDS,
and there will probably be a state action as well,
but we'll get to that in time. ICE Houston has
deported a convicted child predator for a third time, most
(23:28):
recently entered last February. February of twenty twenty four, thanks
to Joe Biden's wide open border, ICE Houston announced that
they deported Mexican national Oscar Lopez de Leira, a forty
seven year old three time removed criminal alien and convicted
child predator. ICE says officers transported him from the Montgomery
(23:50):
Processing Center in Conroe to the Laredo Port of Entry
and he was released into Mexico on Tuesday. The DOJ
says in a press release. While in the U s
us illegally, Lopez has been convicted of two counts of
sexually exploiting a minor March twenty, twenty seventeen and illegal
re entry July one, twenty four. Remember it is a
(24:12):
felonine to attempt to re enter. People say it's not
a crime to come to this country illegally. It's the
second time. It's sure as hell isick crime? Is Michael
Ferry Show. Jerry Mathers born on this day eighty seven youth. No,
(24:33):
that's not minem. That's Marshall Mathers. Slim shady. Jerry Mathers
is not I repeat, is not slim shady. I love
to Leave It to Beaver. You know, for those of
you who are about my age, you will know this
to be true. Most of the tea A lot, not most.
(24:55):
A lot of the TV we grew up watching pre cable.
I didn't have cable tool I was graduating high school.
A lot of the TV that we watch was not
currently produced. It was stuff in syndication, The Andy Griffith Show,
(25:17):
Leave It to Beaver, So that a lot of the
stuff I really think of as from my childhood is
actually from ten or more years before the heyday of
quality programming. This is Ward coming down for breakfast and
(25:37):
June Cleaver is saying, don't you think you're a little
heart on the beaver last night? Oh it's not that clip,
Oh no, no, this is the Beaver has a note
from his teacher for his parents, but he's too scared
to give it to them.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
Why.
Speaker 12 (25:50):
Yeah, did you ever get an not from school?
Speaker 14 (25:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Once?
Speaker 6 (25:56):
What happened?
Speaker 1 (25:57):
I had to go to summer school, Wally? What is
it now? Would they spell you if you're hit in
the locker ding fire drill? I don't think so. Well,
the bigg it's from the third grades.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
That just might suspend me.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Well, we did that to a couple of kids last year.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
But they're not.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Gonna throw you ou unless you've done something really bad. Hey,
were you sitting at the cafeteria on Thursday?
Speaker 14 (26:29):
Yes, but that was my fault.
Speaker 6 (26:32):
Nim adult pushed me and I bumped into mister Thompson's cocoa.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
I maybe miss Campfield just has a grudge against you.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
If he's gonna be mean, mustn't she have a reason?
Of course not.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
When you're an older person, you don't have.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
To have a reason to be mean. Hey, you know something, Beaver,
what Wally?
Speaker 8 (26:55):
You'll be the first kid to ever be thrown out
of the second grade in the history of the school.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
See that's just quality, clean programming. I still refer to
Eddie Haskell to this day, to this day. So let
me start by saying, and I don't feel the need
to say this before I criticize somebody, Lord knows I
criticize everybody. It's not personal. I think that Dan Patrick
(27:22):
has mostly been a very very good lieutenant governor. His
navigation of the Paxton impeachment trial was nothing short or brilliant.
His leadership as the head of the Senate. I would
give a mark of an as to an a And
(27:46):
I'm pretty hard on people judging his entire body of work.
That being said, this move, this, in my opinion, very
backward move. It's like the the Iatola homony homeni. This
reefer madness, freak out. Nobody was asking other than the
(28:10):
alcohol industry friends of mine, and look, I hope they succeed.
I just don't believe in using government to shut down
rival industries. The problem is more and more people are
going to gummies and vaping and the like. So Dan
Patrick comes up with this ban on THCHC. We wanted
tax relief, we got pain relief removed. This doesn't make
(28:34):
any sense. This right here. I'm embarrassed by this. I'm embarrassed.
This is clip number nineteen. This is a serious business.
Speaker 15 (28:41):
This is not Dan's folly, This is not Dan's priority.
This is to save an entire generation.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Of being hooked on drugs.
Speaker 15 (28:48):
And I need for y'all to take the story seriously,
because does anyone want to try any of this? Would
you buy anything off the shelf and you didn't know
what was in it that could change your whole mental
state for the rest of your life?
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Would you want that? Anybody want this bag?
Speaker 15 (29:06):
Okay, you want it, dynamite, I don't think you want it.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
You wouldn't dare buy it.
Speaker 15 (29:12):
You wouldn't let your children and your grandchildren buy it.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
I would, I understand wanted to protect children they thrown
adults or using these products too.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Is there a way to do this? We're grown adults
can still have a No.
Speaker 15 (29:23):
Look, we don't want adults having this either.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
What are you crazy?
Speaker 15 (29:27):
You want to go home and need a bag of
this tonight?
Speaker 1 (29:30):
See if you're here tomorrow.
Speaker 15 (29:32):
Is this what we focus on kids because that's where
they've built the shops. But adults are buying the stuff too,
Make no mistake. We want to, of course, back to twenty
and the thirty and the forty and the fifth year old.
So we don't want anybody buying anything off the shelf
that could kill them or ruin their mental state for
the rest of their lives.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Marijuana is going to kill you. I hope nobody tells
them about beer or bourbon or wine. Good lord, you
take this, it's gonna tell you. No, it's not. This
is Reefer Madness nineteen thirty six.
Speaker 16 (30:07):
Smoking the soul destroying Reefer, they find a moment's pleasure,
but at a terrible price, a divorcary violence, murder, suicide.
Speaker 14 (30:28):
And the ultimate end of the marijuana addict.
Speaker 6 (30:31):
Oh my god, hopeless insanity. See this important film now
before it is too late.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Lies, lies, and moralize, fear mongering this mindset. It's embarrassing
for the state of Texas. It's that people are gonna
be arrested for doing something that's legal in all these
other places on the premise. You know what, if you
want to make marijuana illegal, make alcohol illegal too, because
alcohol's far more dangerous.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
Do that.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Oh no, we can't do that, can we Joe Rogan.
Speaker 17 (31:17):
See, people give pot a bad name, man, and it's
because for some people, it's not the.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Best thing in the world.
Speaker 17 (31:23):
All right, people at code bro felt my brother's life.
My brother was fine, then he started smoking weed. What
about cause like him? Oh you mean losers?
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Oh yeah, let's make it illegal.
Speaker 17 (31:33):
By the way, let's make hammers illegal too, because if
you don't build a house with them, you can't hit
yourself in the because you're just crazy.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Your brother's a fat dummy. He never did anything right.
Speaker 17 (31:43):
If it wasn't pot, that guy's life up, it would
have been cheeseburgers and scratch tickets.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
All right. He's an idiot.
Speaker 17 (31:49):
A plant that made him silly, that took him over
the edge.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
I didn't take it anymore. I'm eating too much food.
Life is too much fun. I don't like having a criticized,
Damn Patrick, I really don't, because he's done a good job.
But I call balls and strikes as I see them,
as I and only I see them. And I think
this is a swing and amiss. I think we missed
(32:16):
the opportunity for property tax reform, and this right here,
I understand it makes a handful of people very happy
and they're big donors. I got that. I like those people.
But this is how you turn off libertarians. This is
how you lose racist right here. You go taking away
something as the government from people who are responsibly using it,
(32:37):
like we're in nineteen thirty again. This is neo con
versus maga. This is old fashioned Mike Pence republicanism. It's backward,
it costs us elections.
Speaker 6 (32:48):
I don't like it.
It's that time.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Time, time, time, Luck and load.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
The Michael Very Show is on the.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Air March twenty First, the world loss a legend, a boxer,
a preacher, father and businessman, a friend, a husband, an
(00:36):
inspiration in George Foreman.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
And now you thought you wouldn't hear the name George
Foreman again other than talking about his legacy. Another George
Foreman is running for Congress in the last I think
it's fifteen months. I have to check that number again.
Six Democrat Congressmen have died in office, six in just
over a year, two of them going back to July
(01:03):
nineteenth of last year when Sheila Jackson Lee died. Two
of them in the same congressional district, the eighteenth Congressional district,
first served by Barbara Jordan. The district was sort of
created for Barbara Jordan, and she held that seat until
Mickey Leland, and then we went through the list of
the few who've held it since then. When Sheila Jackson
(01:26):
Lee passed July nineteenth of last year, she was succeeded
by Sylvester Turner, who was just finished becoming or finished
being the mayor of the City of Houston and shortly
thereafter he too would pass, so two of the six
in that one congressional seat. In less than one year,
that seat has lost two congressmen. There will be an
(01:47):
election for the replacement and for the congressman who will
serve the eighteenth Congressional district, and George Foreman is running.
He is better known, especially by friends and family, by
his nickname, which is Big Wiell. Big Will welcome to
the program.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Good morning, and I'm happy to be here with you.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
I love to have you. Don't get all the formal
over me now, so it's a great honor.
Speaker 4 (02:14):
I'm sorry, go ahead, No, it's a great honor. I
got to sit in the background. Well, my dad got
to be a part of these shows and talk a
lot about his love for country, his love for Texas,
and now I get to follow in that trend. So
big shoes to fill, not just on the congressional side,
but big shoes to fill on the family side, too.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Big shoes for Big Wheel. Let's talk about that big,
beautiful family of yours. I'm sure you've pulled everybody together
and told them, hey, I'm running for Congress. How does
that go? And did that include your your your, your pop?
Big George when he was still all out, which was
not so long ago.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
George has always been a big part of my dreams,
setting big goals and big dreams. From a child, he said,
you can be anything. You know what, you can be president,
And as a young kid back in high school, I
made a personal go I went to the Governor of Texas.
I even had a chance to meet and learn from
the governor firsthand, ask advice, ask perspective. And now here
(03:13):
I am years later running for Congress. So the path
forward is beautiful. George has always been a part of
my vision building, and sadly it was after he passed
I got to make my formal announcement. But these dreams
are always a part of our conversation and a big
part of why. He said, you know, you got the
name George foreman. If you do something, we all do something.
(03:34):
If you go up, we all go up. You go down,
we all go down. So he linked us forever. So
I had to make clear when I was running for Congress,
to let all the Georgies know we're running for Congress now,
so get ready.
Speaker 1 (03:46):
It's a big, beautiful family and a big powerful name.
And he was always very mindful of that name. That's
why when his name was behind a product or a cause,
it was always very successful because people respected that. And
I know you're mindful of that. You have also followed
in his path as a pastor of the church he
(04:07):
found it. Talk a little bit about that.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
George founded the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. He
was actually in the Banuist. He traveled the world telling
the story about how Jesus Christ saved him in the
dressing room in Puerto Rico and made a prophet out
of him. Well, when he got ill, me and my
family took it upon ourselves to keep that church alive.
Don't let Jesus go, he would always say. So we
(04:30):
took it upon ourselves to keep it up. We even
got to have the opportunity to preach at his burial,
so we got never even imagined would be a part
of my life. But that church is still alive today,
and that mission to keep Jesus alive is still alive through.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Us as a congressman, Will you continue to pastor the church?
Speaker 4 (04:51):
The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is alive and
slowing And as long as I'm alive. I told George,
I said, you know what will take care of this.
You just focus on getting better. If I have to
do this thirty years for you to get on your feet,
I'll do it.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Well.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
We were not quite thirty years after now, but as
long as I'm alive, this ministry will continue.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
It's an interesting district. I've looked at that district over
the years. I know obviously where your dad was, and
you've got a big family out on the northeast side.
As a big, sprawling district, that's a lot of ground
to cover.
Speaker 4 (05:27):
The district is big and growing. From what I can imagine,
there's a lot of people to represent, but I think
there couldn't be. We did a project when I was
just a child called the George Foreman Grill, and my
dad originally thought we would just have sixteen grills, enough
for his camp, enough for his program, but come to
find out, the product was good and the spokesperson was
(05:47):
pretty good, so we ended up selling one hundred and
fifty million or more grills. And more is better in
my opinion, and more people in.
Speaker 5 (05:55):
Our disco, I would I would say, So, what has
been the thing about campaigning for Congress that was different
or it surprised you that you hadn't You hadn't expected.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
You know. What I wasn't prepared for was the infighting,
have friends, family, Everyone got an opinion about what the
district could and should look like. But I think it's
perfect preparation for getting the Congress and doing some of
the fighting to advocate on behalf of the district and
on behalf of the American people. So I'm getting all
my sparring done now in preparation for the war to come.
(06:32):
I'm well prepared.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
You know.
Speaker 4 (06:33):
I didn't expect that. You know, I thought I'd make
the announcement and everyone would be bandwagon and throwing money.
But people got opinions before they can give a dollar,
that's for sure. But it's all welcome, all the dollars
in all the opinions.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
I'll welcome it.
Speaker 6 (06:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Somebody sent me an article about somebody whose name I
won't mention, who's a former in law of yours, and
was off, you know, talking about this or that, and
he was not supporting. You're a good guy, but he's
not going to support it. And I thought, you know,
it is only in eighteen congressional district that that makes print.
Nobody does that in other districts, nobody has to deal
(07:08):
with that silly drama. Don't let that bother you run
your race, do your best. Don't let that distraction in
that district. It will drag you into the mud and
it's unproductive. And especially as a pastor who is so
well respected and with a name that you were fortunate
to have and now carry to the next to the
next rank. Don't let them drag you down on all
(07:30):
that big will.
Speaker 4 (07:32):
I appreciate that you know I grew up in a
boxing family. The people we love most would actually show
up at the gym, put on your headgear, gloves and
fight you. Those are people who loved and carried you
about to you the most because they wanted you well. Prepare.
Everything that I hear during this campaign for me is
sparring and preparation for the battle above. If you have
(07:53):
something of conflict to say about me, say it now,
because I'm going to be representing you going forward. So
let's say say what you have to say. Say what's needed.
Let me hear it. Go on to my website www
dot for George Foreman four dot org.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
Go on there.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
But then your information, let's be apart from the great together.
If you have something bad to say, say it now,
because I'm taking it all the way to the Capitol.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
I love it. George Foreman the Fourth aka Big Will,
Thank you, brother, good luck. Hey, this is Tracy Bird.
Speaker 7 (08:23):
And I tip my hand to the keeper the Star.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
And you're forgetting how pretty Harry Nilson's was.
Speaker 6 (08:41):
Let you go.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
You see the bio pic on who wants everybody always
looking at me? What is it everybody's talking at It's good.
A bit of a tragic life, a lot of a
lot of struggles in his life. Harry. Harry made life
very difficult for Harry. I got emails from folks who
(09:04):
live in the eighteen congressional district and will be voting there,
asking if I would be supporting George Foreman the Fourth
aka Big Will, and I will quote the Great James A.
Baker the Third in one of the finest lines of
politics I've ever heard. I'll speak for you or against you,
(09:24):
whichever one will help you the most. So that's how
I feel about that race. Would I like to see
George Forman the Fourth win? Absolutely? Yes, he's a good person,
he's a good man. But how how I help him
is not by screaming and hollering at the top of
(09:46):
my lungs that that that is my candidate. They will
use that against him. You know, you should. You should
want a congressman that everybody supports. You'd think, right, here's
the person that has friends across the aisle. Here's a
person that hadn't been in politics. Here's a person that well,
you get the point. A very happy birthday to our
friend Joe's Slovacheck today. Joe is a real estate lawyer
(10:12):
by day, and I'm told a darn goodwin. He has
a firm called Hoover's Slovacheck. I think it used to
be Hoover Banks and Slovacheck back in the day. But
when I was first running for city council, I got
to know Joe and he was one of those guys
that made a lot of introductions for me and incredibly
(10:33):
well connected. He's one of those people that has the
political bug and always has. He is he'll he's meeting
with some presidential candidate, gubernatorial candidate, congressional candidate, state rep.
At all times. He is very, very interested in good
government and having good government. He spent a lot of time,
(10:55):
donated a lot of time as I think he was
General counsel of the Harris Country Republican Party. I don't
don't know exactly what the title was, but in any case,
I think the firm is now just Hoover Slowcheck. They
must have kicked Banks out from moment. They probably kick Bank.
I don't know what happened to Banks, just Hoover Slowchick now,
which means at some point it'll be Hoover or Slowcheck
because all the firms. The big trend is you no
(11:17):
longer have two names in there, right, You used to
all have It used to be Arnold White and Durky
and Vincent and Elkins and fau Brighton Jeworsk. Of course
that's Norton Ditto now or Norton something. Norton Ditto would
be a better name for him than what they got now.
And then uh yeah, all those firms that were two names,
Becker Bots, all those, all of them, they just kept
(11:39):
shrinking the names down anyway. Joe Slovichak turns eighty five today,
So a very happy birthday to Joe Slovachik if you
know him. Now Here's just people always argue with me
over this. People play games on their age. So people
are going to go, no, no, he told me he's
seventy five. Of course he did. Okay, here's what happens.
(11:59):
Nobody knows when Joe was fifty. He told people he
was forty and nobody looked it up. So that was
thirty five years ago. So people measure from that date
and they think that now he's seventy five, he's eighty five.
(12:22):
So I'm not saying he looks great for seventy five,
but he don't look bad for seventy five. But when
you know he's eighty five, that's my dad's age. Yeh,
that's impressive. That's something to be very impressed with. Yeah,
we're gonna let's do that story again. Because I don't
think people were paying attention. I read the intro. This
is clipping number seven from Fox RGV. Man on South
(12:45):
Padre Island arrested for attacking two coworkers with a concrete
circular saw as they worked on a construction project. Now
when you hear that, you go, oh, he chased him
with a saw, Like you know, yeah, okay, that's fine,
that's kind of scary. You think, oh, man, that circular saw,
(13:06):
that would hurt you. Quit chasing me, you might fall
when you trip, you hit into me and okay, I
got it, but he cut him. Do you realize how
gross that had to feel to hold the circular saw.
I'm into a bit of the ultra violence, but not that,
not that that. That's one I don't know. I think
(13:29):
I could stab somebody, but I couldn't. I couldn't fire
up the circular saw. And I mean, you know, blood
was squirting everywhere. Think about that. I wonder if he
was wearing glasses. If he wasn't wearing glasses, you think
about this, even if you held it down low, waist high.
Let's see, he got one in his arm and one
in the back of his neck. If you hit somebody
(13:50):
on the back of your neck, I mean, there had
to be blood spatter everywhere. I said blood splatter the
other day and I had a forensic uh a forensic
forensic I don't remember forensic. What are you is? Forensic scientists?
Forensic something? Send me an email saying, Hey, just so
you know, it's spatter, not splatter, but it sometimes the
(14:13):
spatter will splatter, and that's you know, you know, That's
what I'm trying to be clear about. Anyway, I got
to thinking about that. Do you realize how much blood
would be squirting out when you hit a circular saw
on a dude? I mean, process that for a moment.
I don't mind blood in terms of blood. You know,
(14:35):
doesn't freak me out or scare me or you know,
like some people pass out when they see it. Remember
was it quincy m D Or what was it? Remember?
That doesn't bother me. But it doesn't matter what the
I don't want water splattering up in my face. I mean,
think about this for a moment. So listen to this
story and just think about the blood spatter.
Speaker 8 (14:54):
Splatter South Padre Island, where two construction workers were hospitalized
after both were attacked by one of their co workers
with a circular saw. That person is now behind bars.
According to the Cameron County Park Rangers, the attack happened
at around three in.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
The afternoon at Beach Access three.
Speaker 8 (15:12):
Authority say a four to fourth person crew of the
subcontractors were working at the site when one of them
grabbed the saw, cutting one in the arm and another
in the leg.
Speaker 7 (15:24):
Both the victims that were at the illustrations they arm
in the leg were transported to Validoptist in the suspect
he's being held that he was taken to a believe
otage in medical.
Speaker 8 (15:36):
Now Cameron authorities having said what caused the attack.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Well, I don't know that it matters. I'm gonna just
think about the blood spatter. Plus, did you notice you
put the wrong embassis on the salable? He said? Subcontractor,
the subcontractor, Lady the Michael Barry Show, please clap, please,
(16:04):
please clap. So I'm fifty four. My wife's fifty seven,
and so I can remember fifty four was I mean,
(16:24):
you weren't in the grave. Once you're on the way right,
you're sniffing it. You're not. Nobody's giving you a thirty
year mortgage, you know what I mean? And I remember
thinking of it the number that way, and then I go,
but I'm fifty four. Oh, I feel like I'm about
to die. But I mean, we're all gonna die. It
(16:46):
feels weird to say your age, and I guess it
just gets worse, huh, because you get older. I say
that because it's Dana Carvey's birthday. So I looked up
how old do you think Dana Carvey is? He's ninety three.
Speaker 9 (17:03):
I'm just kidding, Dana carvey Is seventy seventy seventy was old,
and Dana carvey Is said that feels weird.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
Doesn't it.
Speaker 1 (17:15):
Let me tell you something. His impersonation of George hw
Bush was one of those rare impersonations that kind of
replaced the actual person. That persona replaced the actual person
(17:36):
in the public psyche. When you saw George hw Bush
after this, and by the way, George hw Bush loved
the impersonation, I think that says a lot. When you
can laugh at yourself, I think that says a lot.
It's good, it's a good sign. But when you saw
George H. W Bush immediately after you saw that one
(17:57):
b prahadon't you thought to yourself, you're just you're like
imitating Dana Carvey imitating you. It was it was unkeeny.
I don't recall even rich Little who was so good
as as Ronald Reagan. Everybody could do Ronald Reagan as well.
You know his starting a sentence, well, well after he
(18:20):
did that. Everybody, you know, once you see how to
do it, then you can you imitate the imitation. Right,
But Dana Carvey's impersonation, I mean, I'm trying to think
if there's a better one than I've ever seen. There's
some good Shane Gillis does a good Trump, but he
doesn't stay in character long enough. Anyway, Here was Dana
Carvey as George H. W. Bush.
Speaker 10 (18:42):
Good evening, Happy holidays to y'all. Once again, it's that
festive season. Tonight, our Jewish friends observed the fifth night
of Hanaka, the celebration of a military victory one centuries
ago on a part of the world where today four
hundred thousand brave Americans await my order to annihilate Iraq.
(19:10):
None of us want war in that whole area out
over there, but as commander in chief, I am ever
cognizant of my authority to launch a full scale orgy
of death there on the desert sand. Probably won't, but
then again I might.
Speaker 1 (19:30):
It was a good one, Kim Ogg says. One of
the Venezuelan illegal immigrants charged with the murder of Joscelyn
Nungera is accused of sexually assaulting an American woman who
is vacationing in Costa Rica. Fox twenty six with the story,
So you're.
Speaker 11 (19:49):
Saying this isn't the first time the Peigna has been
accused free.
Speaker 2 (19:54):
That's correct.
Speaker 12 (19:55):
To just know that this happened to another woman.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
It hurts my heart.
Speaker 12 (20:01):
Really, A piece of b shatters a little bit.
Speaker 11 (20:04):
June twenty twenty four, twelve year old Jocelyn Nungree's body
was found in a bayo on West Rincoin Road. Two
undocumented Venezuela nationals, Johann Jose Martinez Ranguel and Franklin Jose
Beanya Ramos, are charged with capital murder, accused of sexually
assaulting then killing Jocelyn kem Ogg was the Harris County
District Attorney at the time. Her office gathered the evidence
(20:27):
they needed to seek the death penalty in the case,
and now she's revealing a key piece that helps secure
that option.
Speaker 13 (20:35):
What we learned during the course of the investigation was
that one of the suspects, Panya, had been involved in
a prior sexual assault.
Speaker 11 (20:45):
She says, a victim from another state was attacked while
on vacation before Jocelyn's killing.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
It happened in Costa Rica.
Speaker 13 (20:53):
It happened to an American citizen who came forward with
that information after their picked were.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Shown on national television.
Speaker 12 (21:02):
I'm very glad that this young woman had the courage
to come forward.
Speaker 11 (21:10):
That evidence specifically helped you meet this.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Determination for seeking death.
Speaker 13 (21:15):
I believe it helped the entire committee make the determination.
Speaker 11 (21:19):
Is this information that you had ever known or is
this new to you too?
Speaker 2 (21:24):
This is definitely news to me.
Speaker 12 (21:27):
I always felt in my heart that this was never
their first time, especially Peya.
Speaker 11 (21:34):
Why are you sharing this now because I am very
concerned about the decisions that my successor district attorney has
been making.
Speaker 2 (21:45):
When she reported it to the authorities in Costa Rica.
Speaker 13 (21:49):
They did nothing, and so imagine the frustration of that individual.
I do not want that to be swept under the carpet.
I think it's important for the public to get to
the final say do they deserve death for the rape.
Speaker 2 (22:05):
And murder of Jocelyn?
Speaker 13 (22:07):
Or should they spend their life in the penitentiary. What
I don't want is some backdoor deal done in the
quiet of the night and a long time from now,
once people have forgotten the horror of this case.
Speaker 12 (22:22):
I see this as a reoccurring reoffender scenario, and because
he wasn't held accountable for his actions when he did
this to this other young woman, he should be held
accountable for this young child whose life was taken.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Kim Ogg will be our guest early next week about
some of the details of waste in Harris County that
were uncovered that there was not yet time to prosecute
as she was defeated in the Democrat primary and left
office in December. There were a slew of cases brought
(23:06):
in those last few months and there are details. I
think some of those cases being picked up by the FEDS,
and there will probably be a state action as well,
but we'll get to that in time. ICE Houston has
deported a convicted child predator for a third time, most
(23:28):
recently entered last February. February of twenty twenty four, thanks
to Joe Biden's wide open border, ICE Houston announced that
they deported Mexican national Oscar Lopez de Leira, a forty
seven year old three time removed criminal alien and convicted
child predator. ICE says officers transported him from the Montgomery
(23:50):
Processing Center in Conroe to the Laredo Port of Entry
and he was released into Mexico on Tuesday. The DOJ
says in a press release. While in the U s
us illegally, Lopez has been convicted of two counts of
sexually exploiting a minor March twenty, twenty seventeen and illegal
re entry July one, twenty four. Remember it is a
(24:12):
felonine to attempt to re enter. People say it's not
a crime to come to this country illegally. It's the
second time. It's sure as hell isick crime? Is Michael
Ferry Show. Jerry Mathers born on this day eighty seven youth. No,
(24:33):
that's not minem. That's Marshall Mathers. Slim shady. Jerry Mathers
is not I repeat, is not slim shady. I love
to Leave It to Beaver. You know, for those of
you who are about my age, you will know this
to be true. Most of the tea A lot, not most.
(24:55):
A lot of the TV we grew up watching pre cable.
I didn't have cable tool I was graduating high school.
A lot of the TV that we watch was not
currently produced. It was stuff in syndication, The Andy Griffith Show,
(25:17):
Leave It to Beaver, So that a lot of the
stuff I really think of as from my childhood is
actually from ten or more years before the heyday of
quality programming. This is Ward coming down for breakfast and
(25:37):
June Cleaver is saying, don't you think you're a little
heart on the beaver last night? Oh it's not that clip,
Oh no, no, this is the Beaver has a note
from his teacher for his parents, but he's too scared
to give it to them.
Speaker 4 (25:49):
Why.
Speaker 12 (25:50):
Yeah, did you ever get an not from school?
Speaker 14 (25:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (25:55):
Once?
Speaker 6 (25:56):
What happened?
Speaker 1 (25:57):
I had to go to summer school, Wally? What is
it now? Would they spell you if you're hit in
the locker ding fire drill? I don't think so. Well,
the bigg it's from the third grades.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
That just might suspend me.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
Well, we did that to a couple of kids last year.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
But they're not.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Gonna throw you ou unless you've done something really bad. Hey,
were you sitting at the cafeteria on Thursday?
Speaker 14 (26:29):
Yes, but that was my fault.
Speaker 6 (26:32):
Nim adult pushed me and I bumped into mister Thompson's cocoa.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
I maybe miss Campfield just has a grudge against you.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
If he's gonna be mean, mustn't she have a reason?
Of course not.
Speaker 2 (26:48):
When you're an older person, you don't have.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
To have a reason to be mean. Hey, you know something, Beaver,
what Wally?
Speaker 8 (26:55):
You'll be the first kid to ever be thrown out
of the second grade in the history of the school.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
See that's just quality, clean programming. I still refer to
Eddie Haskell to this day, to this day. So let
me start by saying, and I don't feel the need
to say this before I criticize somebody, Lord knows I
criticize everybody. It's not personal. I think that Dan Patrick
(27:22):
has mostly been a very very good lieutenant governor. His
navigation of the Paxton impeachment trial was nothing short or brilliant.
His leadership as the head of the Senate. I would
give a mark of an as to an a And
(27:46):
I'm pretty hard on people judging his entire body of work.
That being said, this move, this, in my opinion, very
backward move. It's like the the Iatola homony homeni. This
reefer madness, freak out. Nobody was asking other than the
(28:10):
alcohol industry friends of mine, and look, I hope they succeed.
I just don't believe in using government to shut down
rival industries. The problem is more and more people are
going to gummies and vaping and the like. So Dan
Patrick comes up with this ban on THCHC. We wanted
tax relief, we got pain relief removed. This doesn't make
(28:34):
any sense. This right here. I'm embarrassed by this. I'm embarrassed.
This is clip number nineteen. This is a serious business.
Speaker 15 (28:41):
This is not Dan's folly, This is not Dan's priority.
This is to save an entire generation.
Speaker 1 (28:46):
Of being hooked on drugs.
Speaker 15 (28:48):
And I need for y'all to take the story seriously,
because does anyone want to try any of this? Would
you buy anything off the shelf and you didn't know
what was in it that could change your whole mental
state for the rest of your life?
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Would you want that? Anybody want this bag?
Speaker 15 (29:06):
Okay, you want it, dynamite, I don't think you want it.
Speaker 2 (29:11):
You wouldn't dare buy it.
Speaker 15 (29:12):
You wouldn't let your children and your grandchildren buy it.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
I would, I understand wanted to protect children they thrown
adults or using these products too.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Is there a way to do this? We're grown adults
can still have a No.
Speaker 15 (29:23):
Look, we don't want adults having this either.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
What are you crazy?
Speaker 15 (29:27):
You want to go home and need a bag of
this tonight?
Speaker 1 (29:30):
See if you're here tomorrow.
Speaker 15 (29:32):
Is this what we focus on kids because that's where
they've built the shops. But adults are buying the stuff too,
Make no mistake. We want to, of course, back to twenty
and the thirty and the forty and the fifth year old.
So we don't want anybody buying anything off the shelf
that could kill them or ruin their mental state for
the rest of their lives.
Speaker 1 (29:47):
Marijuana is going to kill you. I hope nobody tells
them about beer or bourbon or wine. Good lord, you
take this, it's gonna tell you. No, it's not. This
is Reefer Madness nineteen thirty six.
Speaker 16 (30:07):
Smoking the soul destroying Reefer, they find a moment's pleasure,
but at a terrible price, a divorcary violence, murder, suicide.
Speaker 14 (30:28):
And the ultimate end of the marijuana addict.
Speaker 6 (30:31):
Oh my god, hopeless insanity. See this important film now
before it is too late.
Speaker 1 (30:52):
Lies, lies, and moralize, fear mongering this mindset. It's embarrassing
for the state of Texas. It's that people are gonna
be arrested for doing something that's legal in all these
other places on the premise. You know what, if you
want to make marijuana illegal, make alcohol illegal too, because
alcohol's far more dangerous.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
Do that.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Oh no, we can't do that, can we Joe Rogan.
Speaker 17 (31:17):
See, people give pot a bad name, man, and it's
because for some people, it's not the.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
Best thing in the world.
Speaker 17 (31:23):
All right, people at code bro felt my brother's life.
My brother was fine, then he started smoking weed. What
about cause like him? Oh you mean losers?
Speaker 1 (31:31):
Oh yeah, let's make it illegal.
Speaker 17 (31:33):
By the way, let's make hammers illegal too, because if
you don't build a house with them, you can't hit
yourself in the because you're just crazy.
Speaker 1 (31:40):
Your brother's a fat dummy. He never did anything right.
Speaker 17 (31:43):
If it wasn't pot, that guy's life up, it would
have been cheeseburgers and scratch tickets.
Speaker 1 (31:47):
All right. He's an idiot.
Speaker 17 (31:49):
A plant that made him silly, that took him over
the edge.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
I didn't take it anymore. I'm eating too much food.
Life is too much fun. I don't like having a criticized,
Damn Patrick, I really don't, because he's done a good job.
But I call balls and strikes as I see them,
as I and only I see them. And I think
this is a swing and amiss. I think we missed
(32:16):
the opportunity for property tax reform, and this right here,
I understand it makes a handful of people very happy
and they're big donors. I got that. I like those people.
But this is how you turn off libertarians. This is
how you lose racist right here. You go taking away
something as the government from people who are responsibly using it,
(32:37):
like we're in nineteen thirty again. This is neo con
versus maga. This is old fashioned Mike Pence republicanism. It's backward,
it costs us elections.
Speaker 6 (32:48):
I don't like it.
