Ozzy Osbourne, founding father, a British heavy metal the front

died after a year's long struggle with Parkinson's disease.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
If you're getting wonderful, a trint a lot of ups
and a lot of downs, but it's all been worth you.
As far as I'm concerned, I'll do it all against moss.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
Side to men stands.
Speaker 5 (01:08):
Mine is in the prober my way, my suppose, where.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Generals gathered in their masses, just like witches at black masses.
Speaker 5 (01:56):
And make the life you last.
Speaker 4 (02:02):
Fou help me.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
Think, says to me.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
God strap me times to change the times. The strange
to hear.
Speaker 4 (02:18):
I come bring mama, I'm coming home. Time come by.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
Seems to be you could have been a better friend
than me.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Mama, I'm coming home. You took me, you drove me out,
Kay had me at the.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Time lost and found it turned around the fire and
your eyes what you make because you told me nice.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
I think of Mike Davis's I thought happiness was Lovelock,
Texas in my rearview mirror and it becomes home. John
Cougar Mellencamp growing up in a small town, and I
think of the difference between the way I grew up
(03:38):
and what's happening in urban communities today. Now, maybe Houston
was dangerous back then.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
I didn't have that upbringing. But when I look at
the craziness and the madness and the nonsense and where
it's happening, you can plot that on a graph, and
then you can overlay or superimpose the political districts. There
will be a Democrat State rep and a Democrat Congressman
(04:12):
one hundred percent of the time, or close enough to it.
A senior at north Shore High School killed at a
pool party, the third north Shore High School student killed
in less than two years. Clip number twenty five. Ramon,
did Kunda send you twenty five? We have a raging battle.
(04:35):
It's a pitched battle, me and Ramone versus Mud and
Kunda on the other side. And the problem in this
tug of war is that Kunda is a whole lot
bigger and stronger than me, which ain't saying much. And
Ramon's lost a lot of weight. So as our anchor
he doesn't really have. You know, the umph he used to.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Is, you're so stupid you can never pass yourself off.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
You.
Speaker 7 (05:05):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
Okay, back to the story. North Shore High School senior
killed in pool party shooting. Well a senior, hold on,
hold on, we won't be able to get to that.
We won't be able to get to that. There's just
not enough time left. There's not enough time left.
Speaker 8 (05:23):
In this to.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Oh you know what, we didn't get to.
Speaker 8 (05:27):
You know what we didn't get to.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
We didn't get to the Houston woman accused of stealing
millions of dollars intended for surrog mothers.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Oh, you know what, we won't have enough for that either.
Speaker 8 (05:35):
Well do we have enough for?
Speaker 6 (05:36):
People have lost their mind? A man ram destruct in
multiple vehicles leaving Houston club.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Okay, go well.
Speaker 9 (05:44):
A viral TikTok video shows a man ramming his truck
into a crowd of people in a North Houston club
parking lot. Then the driver, Christopher Tuggle, is now charged
with five felonies, including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
The incident happened on July twelfth, just outside of Club Mesquite.
KPRCTWO reporter corle ap Peel spoke with a woman who
(06:05):
was in her car when Tuggle hit her and several others.
Speaker 10 (06:09):
Christopher Tuggle is accused of hitting at least eight vehicles
while many were at the club celebrating a trail riding event.
The woman we spoke with and several others are now
pressing charges. This viral video is key evidence, apporting to
records showing the moment Christopher Tuggle hits the back of
(06:31):
a jeep in the club Mesquite parking lot. He drives forward,
hitting more vehicles. Oh then backs up reverses, landing on
top of another car, but Tuggle doesn't stop. He continues
driving through the crowded parking lot, hitting more cars.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
He could have killed somebody.
Speaker 10 (06:50):
Jim and I says she was in her car with
a friend when they felt the impact from Tuggle's truck.
Speaker 11 (06:54):
He backed up and hit the car next to me,
and then that's how we were slush. Oh, we were
nervous and scared for our life, honestly, because.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
We were trapped.
Speaker 11 (07:06):
There was no way to get out.
Speaker 10 (07:09):
An officer seen on video pointing a gun at Tuggle's window.
He has his hands up and is taken into custody
investigator say Tuggle gave police inconsistent statements.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
He claimed he was robbed by three men.
Speaker 10 (07:21):
Record show Tuggle also told police a white, cheap compass
blocked him as he was trying to leave the club,
and he hit the fender as he was pulling out.
He told officers three men came up to his window,
started yelling and hitting him in the face, but police
say that doesn't match what happened in this video.
Speaker 11 (07:38):
I'd never seen him before, never seen him before.
Speaker 10 (07:42):
Some of the cars that were hit were totaled. Gemini's
car is drivable, but the damage will cost her.
Speaker 11 (07:47):
Big Ditton back of scratches in the front. My door
from the car next to me was also hit. Our
things are damaged and there's really no accountability and who's
gonna pay for all the damages because I'm pretty sure
the insurance is According.
Speaker 10 (08:05):
To records, the damage for all of the vehicles costs
roughly sixty thousand dollars. That's just an estimate. Christopher Teckle
is being held in the Harrison County Jail on a
one hundred and twenty five.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Thousand dollars bond.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Corley Peel KPRC two news very brigade, activate the Michael
Barry show.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
Of all the things facing the state of Texas, property taxes,
run them up. You know, a state law that a
Republican legislature passed was used by Rodney Ellis to raise
our taxes in Harris County.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
And then the Republicans go, oh, my goodness, I can't
believe we empowered him to do that.
Speaker 8 (08:53):
Grief with friends like you.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
So now we are in a special session.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
We've just watched Kerrville be devastated, families across the state,
and beyond asking for answers, we have so many issues
facing our state. Redistricting would properly align our districts and
(09:20):
reorder Congress and give us the majority we need to
keep to avoid Oh, I don't know, Trump being impeached
again by a Democrat majority. And what did they take
up in the state legislature. Well, the medical marijuana industry
that will get paid to give you the same marijuana
(09:44):
doesn't want you to get that over the counter, you see.
And they've put this fellow Charles Perry on this issue.
And Charles Perry, best I can tell, was drawn directly
from the descendants of the Salem witch child.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
See that girl over Ore, she's that girl.
Speaker 6 (10:02):
She's got face paint owned, she's from the devil. We
got to put her at the fire. Charles. That that's
called makeup. We allow that now it's a devil. See
that one over Ore? She looks five seven. She ain't
but five six. Those are high heels, Charles. We allow
that she's thirty two years as from the devil. Well,
(10:24):
Charles Perry, who they've put in charge of this who
I'm embarrassed of the things he says, declares yesterday on
the floor of the People's Chamber that marijuana is as
bad as meth. Charles, calm down. I realize you're excited.
(10:47):
They gave you the ball, but you're running the wrong direction.
You notice the other team is cheering. You're about to score,
but it ain't for us. Lucas Guilty is a fellow
who has been recommended by several people, including Marissa Hanson
(11:10):
as I saw him speaking as a guest before the
State Legislature recently. His website is Hometown Hero. He has
described as I think a HEMP activist. Lucas, welcome to
the program.
Speaker 12 (11:26):
Thank you for having me, sir. I'm a huge fan
and a big shout out to Marissa for setting us up.
She's been telling me for a while we should chat,
So thank you for taking the time for us.
Speaker 6 (11:33):
Well, I don't want to ruin your fandom, but I
need to know why.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
You've spelled Lucas with a K.
Speaker 12 (11:40):
My mom named me after cool Hand Luke, old school movie.
A lot of the younger kids might not remember it,
but one of my favorite movies.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
You're too young to know who cool Hand Luke is.
How old are you?
Speaker 8 (11:51):
Forty four?
Speaker 1 (11:52):
S there? Oh okay, I'm old enough to call you
a kid. That's kind of exciting. So first of all.
Speaker 6 (11:59):
First of all, let's let's full disclosures. You don't come
at this completely objectively.
Speaker 11 (12:04):
Like I do.
Speaker 6 (12:05):
See I'm very pious and righteous. You don't come at
this completely objectively. You are in the marijuana THCHC business.
Hometown Hero looks to be, by the way, nice site.
Who ever built that for you? It's a visually very
pleasing site. So let's talks about what you do and
then your position on this. Yes, sir, I'm the CEO
(12:26):
of Hometown Hero. We sell HEMP derived THHD products. We
were the very first company to.
Speaker 12 (12:30):
Sell this type of product in Texas in twenty nineteen
after HB thirteen twenty five legalized hemp within Texas. And
just to give some context, some backstory, the story is very,
very fascinating, and there's some information that came out yesterday
that makes this even more fascinating. And this is a
story that I've been dealing with now for since twenty
nineteen when hamp was legalized in Texas. So in twenty nineteen,
(12:52):
HB House Built thirteen twenty five passed. Senator Perry is
one of the authors. He authored the bill that created
this industry within Texas, and he is somebody that continuously
uses his sort of religious beliefs. And I'm Christian and
I have very similar beliefs, but he uses his religious
beliefs to attack us and to say things that are
horrible about us. And I believe that he also uses
(13:13):
that as sort of some of his predisposition around the
hatred of these products. And so he's sort of got
a little bit of egg on a face in the
sense that he created this industry. And one of the
times we got into it one of the committee hearings,
I congratulated him on creating an industry that literally created
more than fifty thousand jobs for Texans at a time
when that is an amazing thing, an amazing accomplishment. And
(13:33):
I've never seen a politician so upset and so angry
that he created fifty thousand jobs for Texans at that
moment with that man and his reaction to that, and
so he created this industry literally, and so he now
feels like it's under his purview to get.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
Rid of it.
Speaker 12 (13:51):
That's really I believe where the animosity comes from from
Senator Perry and why he is so actively trying to
get rid of this.
Speaker 8 (13:59):
There are other players involved, and over.
Speaker 12 (14:01):
The years this has evolved, and I can go deep
into the story of how all this happened if you like.
Speaker 8 (14:06):
It's highly fascinating.
Speaker 7 (14:07):
Go okay, So twenty nineteen HB thirteen.
Speaker 12 (14:12):
To twenty five passed and legalized hemp in Texas. When
that happened, it created this giant industry. Now, what they argue,
what the politicians will argue who created it? Center Perry
is one of them. They'll say that they didn't know
that THHD was in these products. That's incorrect, because I've
seen memos. If you go back to the original memos
around Senator Perry and even even with some of the
Lieutenant governor stuff, they acknowledged that THHD was in these products,
(14:33):
but it was under the zero point three percent delta
nine on drywait basis limit, and that comes from the
twenty eighteen Farm Bill. So Trump signed the twenty eighteen
Farm Bill legalizing hemp federally within the United States, and
everything made from him, not just hemp flower, not just
not just this, not just that, everything everything that comes
from hemp that his plant derived is federally legal under
(14:56):
one stipulation, as long as it contains less than zero
point three percent delta nine thhd on a dryway basis.
So in nature there's only one plant. There's Cannabis sativa L.
The L is the long Latin word that nobody ever pronounces,
but in all government documents, Cannabis sativa L is what
is referenced as the single plant that hemp and marijuana
come from. In nature, there's only one plant. TEMP and
(15:18):
marijuana are government created terms, the regulatory terms to distinguish
cabinoid within the plant. There's about one hundred and thirty
five cannabinoids within Cannabis Sativa L and hamp and marijuana.
It's all the same thing. And so the government created
these two terms to distinguish low THHD cannabis and high
THHD cannabis, and they distinguish it by a zero point
(15:39):
three percent delta nine thhd on a dryway basis. So,
out of the one hundred and thirty five cannabinoids in
that plant, there is one single cannabinoid that the government
really angled in on. It's the main psychoactive cannabinoid. It's
the one if if you eat an edible or you
smoke a joint, it's what's gonna get you possible, right,
pull in just a second.
Speaker 6 (15:58):
Lewis Keel Piers, our guest is website is hometown's hero
dot com. And speaking before the House in the last
week over this whole THHC madness.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Bad Dude the Michael Berry Show, and.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
As our state legislature convenes in a special session. You know,
I have been for a long time getting this wrong.
I constantly say that our legislature meets every two years
for one hundred and fifty days, so it's a buy
any old session every two years. And Steve Toathe State Rep.
(16:34):
Conservative State Rep. Who I think is probably the odds
on favorite to beat Dan Crenshaw. He's running against Dan
Crenshaw in the Republican primary congressional district too. He corrected
me that it's one hundred and forty days, and I
went back and look, and I don't know. I think
I've thought it was one hundred and fifty days since
I was in high school and probably first looked that
up in what Ramon. We used to have what we'd
(16:56):
call a book. You'd go to the library. If you
wanted to check on something, you'd go to the library.
You'd ask Mistold, our librarian. She'd send you to the
book section that books all over the shelves, and you'd
go overre you'd use a Dewey decimal system named after
Dewey Cox, and you'd go over there and you'd pull
the book out and you'd look it up and there
(17:18):
it would be, and you would hope that the information
hadn't changed since that book had been published in nineteen
forty two. But anyway, it's every one hundred and forty
days every two years.
Speaker 11 (17:30):
Now.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
Our constitution gives the governor the power to call a
special session under certain circumstances. He has to tell what
it's going to be it's limited to thirty days, but
he could call multiple zone redistricting was supposed to be
the big issue. Trump wants redistricting in Texas because we've
got gerrymander districts that now you can apply the same standards,
(17:55):
and they are districts that have been drafted so that
Democrats couldn't help it when and that needs to be fixed.
But we're not focusing on that. We're focusing on the
fact that the medical marijuana industry, through Alan Blakemore, is
controlling Dan Patrick. And now it turns out, as of yesterday,
Greg Abbott's played his hand and they've split the Republican
(18:17):
Party and the Democrats are just looking back and laughing.
How do you destroy your Republican majority. You take an
issue that splits the libertarians, people who care about the
individual and freedom and not authoritarianism. You split those people
from the people who want a theocracy like we're in Iran,
who in the name of God will take away every
(18:39):
right you've ever had. And this is how you lose elections.
Lucas Gilkey is our guest. His website is Hometown Heroes
dot com. Is that right? I don't have it up
right now, hometown hero dot com singular hometown hero dot com.
I'm sorry, why were you asked to speak before the legislature.
Speaker 12 (18:59):
So, like I was kind of alluding to with the
sort of twenty eighteen trumps on the farm villa and
legalized hemp. So this has been highly contentious within Texas
and so one of the really disheartening things about yesterday
speaking with the Senate committee was that they completely ignored,
as you were saying, they.
Speaker 8 (19:14):
Ignored all the relevant priorities.
Speaker 12 (19:16):
They didn't even the first committee hearing was hemp and
trying to make hemp the legal and trying to put
people in jail for cannabis when you know over one
hundred people just died from floods. That's insanity. And so
it's really alludes to sort of the hypocrisy of the
Senate that this is their number one priority. And you know,
you're talking about the information that came out yesterday around
(19:38):
the Lieutenant governor and sort of the issues of the
lobbying and sort of how this is all being controlled.
It really stems from that. So in Texas, we have
a medical marijuana program called Teaco Texas Compassionate Use Program
it's been around since roughly twenty seventeen, and the Lieutenant
Governor has gotten his hands in that, and it sounds like,
(19:58):
at least from what the articles stayed, and it's been
pretty apparent throughout our fight that they are through regulatory capture.
They're trying to kill an eight billion dollar industry within
Texas that has four point three billion dollars in retail sales,
the hemp industry. They're trying to kill it. They're trying
to hand it to the medical Marijuana Group, which only
has three licensed companies. By the way, and it's been
(20:19):
almost ten years. They have three licensed companies, and the
people that are involved in those companies are set up
to be billionaires. The only reason those people aren't billionaires
is because of the hemp industry within Texas.
Speaker 8 (20:30):
Let's be clear about that.
Speaker 12 (20:31):
So I went yesterday to speak and draw attention to
the hypocrisy of what they're trying to do and trying
to get rid of us, especially when it comes to alcohol.
Speaker 7 (20:38):
You've got alcohol in Texas that causes the CDC.
Speaker 12 (20:41):
Reports more than ten thousand deaths a year in Texas
just Texas are attributed to excessive alcohol consumption and hemp
is called zero death. Cannabis in Texas is called zero deaths.
And they're trying to outlaw this entire industry and hand
it over to the medical marijuana groups, which are largely
controlled by out of state MSOs, by the way, multiple
multi state operators. It's people that aren't even from Texas
(21:04):
that control these companies.
Speaker 8 (21:05):
When we have a home grown.
Speaker 7 (21:07):
Texas hemp industry right here, right now that supports more
than fifty three.
Speaker 12 (21:11):
Thousand Texans with jobs. It is the most insane thing
I have ever seen in my entire life in politics.
And what you were alluding to is sort of who's
controlling what and some of the lobbyists. It all makes
sense now and there's clarity around it. For a long time,
we didn't have names of who to put where and
who was doing what. But I think it's becoming pretty
apparent now and I'm very happy that you're talking about it.
Speaker 6 (21:32):
Texas scorecard dot Com Michael quinn Sullivan is the publisher there,
has a piece this morning about Blake Morri's control Alan
Blakemorris control of the state legislature. And I told Dan
Patrick when he was running for Lieutenant governor, I said
get away from Dan, from Alan Blakemore. He will be
the downfall of you and the Republican Party in Texas.
(21:54):
And mark my words, he will be the Jeff Skilling.
He will be the lament that brings all of this
to He'll be the Jeffrey Epstein. I'm not suggesting a
sexual element, but he'll be the Jeffrey Epstein of all this.
There will be people who will deny they ever knew him.
He is as evil as it gets and he has
an absolute stranglehold because what he does is he's the
(22:18):
consultant to the candidate and gets them elected, and then
once they're elected, he's the lobbyist for the interests that
want them to vote the way he wants. So you
get people who just enjoy being an elected official and
they just Alan Blakemore take care of everything. And he
is evil and this guy he is feathering his own nest.
(22:39):
It is absolutely awful and it is outside the interests
of the base. And nobody wants to stand up to him.
And now that he controls Dan Patrick, really nobody wants
to stand up to him. But there will come a
day and I will do the I told you so
dance and I will do the dance, and I will
remind everybody that I warned you that Demonoman has ruined everything.
(23:01):
So sorry, did you say how you were chosen to
speak before the legislature.
Speaker 12 (23:07):
It was simply a process where you show up and register.
They didn't ask me to speak. I wasn't one of
the requested sort of testifiers. They have their own set
group that go up there and sort of spout a
whole bunch of lies. They have a set group of
people that go up there with rehearsed scripts, and this
has been happening now since April of twenty twenty four,
that they just have this same group of people go
(23:27):
up every time and spout their lies to prove their agenda,
and then, just like yesterday, unanimously tend to zero despite
all these people showing up from the industry telling them
that this is insanity and what are they doing?
Speaker 7 (23:39):
You know, even if you go on social media and
you look.
Speaker 12 (23:41):
At Dan Patrick's post or somebody else's post online regarding
what was Senate Bill three and now Senate Bill five via,
I mean, the odds are one thousand to one, and
what's crazy you're alluding to it? It's Democrats and it's
Republicans both saying that this person needs to be voted
out of office. They're literally turning their own constituents against
them with this. It's very harmful to Texas and it's
(24:02):
very dangerous.
Speaker 6 (24:05):
It's very dangerous, and it goes against You know, we
spend so much time arguing over whether marijuana is dangerous
or not, and relatively speaking, it's not. We spend so
much time on all this nonsense and what gets lost
in the mix and the Charles Perry's the of the
world don't understand this, the concept of freedom. Most people
(24:27):
don't care about politics. They don't care about what gets
those people's rocks off. What they want is to run
their business, live their lives, raise their kids, and be
left the hell alone. And then Charles Perry comes knocking
on the door to ask what the smell is inside?
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Hold On Lucas guilty?
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Is actress Prosen putting on a stake the Michael Show,
Jello brand pudding pops, maybe the goodness of real jello pudding.
Speaker 6 (24:52):
For those of you asking, yes, Ramon is back. He
is off suspension, so we can put that issue to bed. No,
he's not getting his own show. No, he's not speaking
on the air, and he'll probably be gone by the
end of the year, would be my suspicion. We are
currently interviewing for his replacement. Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne,
(25:15):
who the News broke yesterday has passed, was the walk
up song of what Houston astro Lucas Gilkey.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Where are you from?
Speaker 8 (25:28):
I'm kind of from all over, sir.
Speaker 12 (25:30):
I grew up in Florida High School, in Arizona Military
in California. I was in the US Coast Guard Encounter
Narcotics Unit, so I'm kind.
Speaker 8 (25:36):
Of from all over.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
That's awesome.
Speaker 6 (25:41):
My brother was a SWAT officer and spent two years
undercover and spent a lot of time making drug arrests.
And he was the one who first told me that
I was thinking about this issue incorrectly, and who told
me that alcohol was a thousand times more dangerous than
marijuana and that we needed to look at this differently
(26:03):
and kind of walking through that. But well, then you
won't know the answer, but I will pose the question
and give folks a moment to think about it for themselves.
What famous Houston astro's walk up song was Crazy Trained
by Ozzy Osbourne would you like.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
To hazard a guest, Lucas oh Man, I have no idea.
Speaker 8 (26:24):
I'll be blunt.
Speaker 12 (26:25):
My life is absolutely consumed with this fight with the
Texas politicians, and I don't watch a whole lot of.
Speaker 8 (26:30):
Sports to be blunt.
Speaker 6 (26:32):
Jeff Bagwell was the correct answer. Jeff Bagwell, this was
probably before you were consumed with this issue. And I
read this morning for longtime Astros fans that Bagwell is
the one who recommended Ter Sandman by Metallica. I did
not realize that was not Billy Wagner's original walk up song.
His original walk up song was for those of you
(26:55):
who get it right, pat on the back. His original
walk up song was Fireman by George Strait, and Bagwell
recommended Enter Sandman to set a whole different mood. Louis
guilty in your mind. Obviously you have a vested interest.
Obviously you are biased. You know you own hometown hero.
(27:17):
You're in the THHC product business.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
You know.
Speaker 6 (27:22):
My brother explained to me that the long term effects
he would watch people in fact, was this a guy
who went to high school with who got really really
hooked on meth. And my brother would call and tell
me after he'd had to arrest him again, and it
just broke his heart. He'd say, you know, if I
knew what I know now back then in high school,
I would tell some of the teachers, your whole anti
(27:43):
marijuana thing is misplaced. What you ought to do is
get people off of alcohol. That's what causes especially men
to beat the snot out of their women. It's what
causes men to fight in bars, it's what causes drunk driving.
Folks on marijuana sit on their couch and eat Cheetos
and watch TV and don't bother anybody.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
But when you're dealing with.
Speaker 6 (28:02):
People every day who are coming in seeking this product,
whether whether recreationally or self medicating, who are these people,
what do they look like, what's their demographic, and what
are they wanting.
Speaker 12 (28:14):
It's not what you typically expect, and it's not the
stereotype that we grew up with. And I'm going to
challenge your stereotype of using cannabis to really kind of
sit there and just eat and be lazy. So a
lot of our customers are actually patients that are going
through chemotherapy for cancer. They're veterans that have been prescribed
and multitude of multitude of opioids by the Veterans Administration
by the VAS. The VAS go to if you go
(28:36):
you're a veteran, you go to the VA. Their go
to is to give you opioids for almost everything. And
then a lot of these guys end up on seventeen
different prescriptions because they're treating the side effects of the
stuff that they're taking, and then the side effects of
that stuff.
Speaker 8 (28:47):
It's never ending.
Speaker 12 (28:48):
And so we've got a lot of customers that are veterans,
and this is why we're involved with the VFW, the
Veterans of Foreign Wars who try love and they're amazing organization,
National and State. Highly recommend if any of your listeners
are veterans of foreign wars go participate in that group.
They are wonderful people and they are the most active
in the best group that I've seen working with veterans
in the country.
Speaker 8 (29:07):
And we're we're doing everything we can to participate with them.
Speaker 12 (29:10):
They're actually they have a lot of members that work
with us, and they're even plaineffs in our lawsuit against
the State of Texas trying to ban HEMP products because
they understand that these products help so many of their
members in the Texas Compassionate Use Program. A lot of
people argue, well, oh, it's there, and people can get
medical member one in Texas. It is extremely expensive and
it's also very hard to participate in. It's very limited
(29:31):
in what they can do. The hemp products that we sell,
you can go on our website, you can buy them
with a credit card, and we can ship them to
your house. A lot of people in Texas don't know this.
We can literally mail you because they're federally in state
legal interstate commerce is fully allowed. You can go on
our website, you can purchase hemp drive PhD products and
we can ship them to your house.
Speaker 7 (29:50):
And you don't have to go get a license, You
don't have to do anything.
Speaker 12 (29:53):
We do have age verification and make sure that you're
of age, but other than that, you can participate in
this industry as an adult and you don't have to
go through all this crazy stuff, which which is you know,
to be blunt the.
Speaker 8 (30:03):
Way it should be.
Speaker 12 (30:04):
And you know, you talk about alcohol and sort of
the harm that it does, and I come from a
counter narcotics background, and I've seen the harm that those
drugs do.
Speaker 8 (30:11):
You know, I've when I was.
Speaker 12 (30:13):
Twenty years old, I helped offload a three hundred million
dollar cocaine bus and it's just wild to see some
of this stuff, and you know, to see the demonization
of cannabis when it really helps people. And I said,
I wanted to challenge your beliefs on it and sort
of making people lazy. You know, I personally have used
cannabis products to lose probably close to ninety pounds and
(30:33):
be the healthy stuff've ever been in my entire life.
And what I have found, and I think what a
lot of people are finding, is that using cannabis products
to work out, to run, to work out, it's really
an amazing anti inflammatory and amazing pain reliever and gives
you massive benefits, especially when you're older. I'm forty four
and I can outperform a lot of kids in their twenties.
(30:54):
And it's because I use cannabis products to train and
I use cannabis products to work out, and it is
absolutely wonderful for your body.
Speaker 6 (31:02):
When you talk about the cannabis products you use, obviously
there's sativa, there's different there's different types of products and
different intended outcomes. But let me say this before I
says I don't see a problem if someone wants to
self medicate and bring down their anxiety or sit on
(31:23):
the couch and eat cheat does I know that's not
the sole reason. I know there are different effects, but I,
for one, do not. I get a lot of little
old ladies that say, Michael, you can't legalize marijuana or
people will be lazy. It's not your job to motivate
people to begin with. And some people have a mind
that races and they can't get it to stop. It's
not your job or the government's job to prevent that
(31:45):
from happening. So I don't say that in a pejorative sense.
But back to the products you use, tell me about that.
Speaker 12 (31:54):
So we make a multi to products, mostly edibles, and
so we've got a variety of different edibles.
Speaker 7 (31:59):
Like and we also have vapes, you know. And it's
a vape that is one hundred.
Speaker 12 (32:04):
Percent pure distillate that you can inhale and it's there's
no smoke, so it's not going to harm your lungs
and it's not going to do all this crazy stuff
that smoking a joint would do or smoking a cigarette.
Very low impact on your body. And I'll actually run,
although run seven miles with one of our vapes in
my hand and hitting it as I desire when I'm
starting to feel pain and starting to starting to just
(32:24):
feel the stress and the pain of running. Running is
really hard.
Speaker 8 (32:28):
On your body.
Speaker 12 (32:28):
And I'm a bigger guy, you know, I'm six foot one,
and running for me can be a painful endeavor. It's
not the funnest thing in the world. But I will say,
using my vape and sort of getting in the right mindset,
I can go seven miles and gm out listening to
my music and absolutely love it, and that is something
that I can't do off of THHC.
Speaker 8 (32:45):
So I think for some.
Speaker 12 (32:46):
People it is an amazing benefit to working out into
being healthy, and there's a lot of people that are
finding the benefits to it, not just in sort of
the pain relief on the medical side, with you know, veterans.
Speaker 7 (32:56):
Dealing with the variety of medical issues, or even cancer patients.
Speaker 8 (32:59):
On pachemo therapy.
Speaker 12 (33:00):
There's a lot of people that are using it to
work out as well and really changing the stereotypes of
what we all grew up with around cannabis.
Speaker 6 (33:06):
I am not here to promote cannabis use. I am
here to promote the freedom of choice of individuals to
make their own adult decisions. Lucas Guilkey, thanks for being

As far as I'm concerned, I'll do it all against moss.

Mine is in the prober my way, my suppose, where.

Think, says to me.
Speaker 5 (02:12):
God strap me times to change the times. The strange

Speaker 4 (02:18):
I come bring mama, I'm coming home. Time come by.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
Seems to be you could have been a better friend
than me.
Speaker 4 (02:37):
Mama, I'm coming home. You took me, you drove me out,
Kay had me at the.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Time lost and found it turned around the fire and
your eyes what you make because you told me nice.
Speaker 6 (03:17):
I think of Mike Davis's I thought happiness was Lovelock,
Texas in my rearview mirror and it becomes home. John
Cougar Mellencamp growing up in a small town, and I
think of the difference between the way I grew up
(03:38):
and what's happening in urban communities today. Now, maybe Houston
was dangerous back then.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
I didn't have that upbringing. But when I look at
the craziness and the madness and the nonsense and where
it's happening, you can plot that on a graph, and
then you can overlay or superimpose the political districts. There
will be a Democrat State rep and a Democrat Congressman
(04:12):
one hundred percent of the time, or close enough to it.
A senior at north Shore High School killed at a
pool party, the third north Shore High School student killed
in less than two years. Clip number twenty five. Ramon,
did Kunda send you twenty five? We have a raging battle.
(04:35):
It's a pitched battle, me and Ramone versus Mud and
Kunda on the other side. And the problem in this
tug of war is that Kunda is a whole lot
bigger and stronger than me, which ain't saying much. And
Ramon's lost a lot of weight. So as our anchor
he doesn't really have. You know, the umph he used to.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Is, you're so stupid you can never pass yourself off.
Speaker 5 (05:05):
You.
Speaker 7 (05:05):
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 6 (05:07):
Okay, back to the story. North Shore High School senior
killed in pool party shooting. Well a senior, hold on,
hold on, we won't be able to get to that.
We won't be able to get to that. There's just
not enough time left. There's not enough time left.
Speaker 8 (05:23):
In this to.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Oh you know what, we didn't get to.
Speaker 8 (05:27):
You know what we didn't get to.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
We didn't get to the Houston woman accused of stealing
millions of dollars intended for surrog mothers.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Oh, you know what, we won't have enough for that either.
Speaker 8 (05:35):
Well do we have enough for?
Speaker 6 (05:36):
People have lost their mind? A man ram destruct in
multiple vehicles leaving Houston club.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Okay, go well.
Speaker 9 (05:44):
A viral TikTok video shows a man ramming his truck
into a crowd of people in a North Houston club
parking lot. Then the driver, Christopher Tuggle, is now charged
with five felonies, including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
The incident happened on July twelfth, just outside of Club Mesquite.
KPRCTWO reporter corle ap Peel spoke with a woman who
(06:05):
was in her car when Tuggle hit her and several others.
Speaker 10 (06:09):
Christopher Tuggle is accused of hitting at least eight vehicles
while many were at the club celebrating a trail riding event.
The woman we spoke with and several others are now
pressing charges. This viral video is key evidence, apporting to
records showing the moment Christopher Tuggle hits the back of
(06:31):
a jeep in the club Mesquite parking lot. He drives forward,
hitting more vehicles. Oh then backs up reverses, landing on
top of another car, but Tuggle doesn't stop. He continues
driving through the crowded parking lot, hitting more cars.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
He could have killed somebody.
Speaker 10 (06:50):
Jim and I says she was in her car with
a friend when they felt the impact from Tuggle's truck.
Speaker 11 (06:54):
He backed up and hit the car next to me,
and then that's how we were slush. Oh, we were
nervous and scared for our life, honestly, because.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
We were trapped.
Speaker 11 (07:06):
There was no way to get out.
Speaker 10 (07:09):
An officer seen on video pointing a gun at Tuggle's window.
He has his hands up and is taken into custody
investigator say Tuggle gave police inconsistent statements.
Speaker 1 (07:19):
He claimed he was robbed by three men.
Speaker 10 (07:21):
Record show Tuggle also told police a white, cheap compass
blocked him as he was trying to leave the club,
and he hit the fender as he was pulling out.
He told officers three men came up to his window,
started yelling and hitting him in the face, but police
say that doesn't match what happened in this video.
Speaker 11 (07:38):
I'd never seen him before, never seen him before.
Speaker 10 (07:42):
Some of the cars that were hit were totaled. Gemini's
car is drivable, but the damage will cost her.
Speaker 11 (07:47):
Big Ditton back of scratches in the front. My door
from the car next to me was also hit. Our
things are damaged and there's really no accountability and who's
gonna pay for all the damages because I'm pretty sure
the insurance is According.
Speaker 10 (08:05):
To records, the damage for all of the vehicles costs
roughly sixty thousand dollars. That's just an estimate. Christopher Teckle
is being held in the Harrison County Jail on a
one hundred and twenty five.
Speaker 2 (08:15):
Thousand dollars bond.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
Corley Peel KPRC two news very brigade, activate the Michael
Barry show.
Speaker 6 (08:28):
Of all the things facing the state of Texas, property taxes,
run them up. You know, a state law that a
Republican legislature passed was used by Rodney Ellis to raise
our taxes in Harris County.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
And then the Republicans go, oh, my goodness, I can't
believe we empowered him to do that.
Speaker 8 (08:53):
Grief with friends like you.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
So now we are in a special session.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
We've just watched Kerrville be devastated, families across the state,
and beyond asking for answers, we have so many issues
facing our state. Redistricting would properly align our districts and
(09:20):
reorder Congress and give us the majority we need to
keep to avoid Oh, I don't know, Trump being impeached
again by a Democrat majority. And what did they take
up in the state legislature. Well, the medical marijuana industry
that will get paid to give you the same marijuana
(09:44):
doesn't want you to get that over the counter, you see.
And they've put this fellow Charles Perry on this issue.
And Charles Perry, best I can tell, was drawn directly
from the descendants of the Salem witch child.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
See that girl over Ore, she's that girl.
Speaker 6 (10:02):
She's got face paint owned, she's from the devil. We
got to put her at the fire. Charles. That that's
called makeup. We allow that now it's a devil. See
that one over Ore? She looks five seven. She ain't
but five six. Those are high heels, Charles. We allow
that she's thirty two years as from the devil. Well,
(10:24):
Charles Perry, who they've put in charge of this who
I'm embarrassed of the things he says, declares yesterday on
the floor of the People's Chamber that marijuana is as
bad as meth. Charles, calm down. I realize you're excited.
(10:47):
They gave you the ball, but you're running the wrong direction.
You notice the other team is cheering. You're about to score,
but it ain't for us. Lucas Guilty is a fellow
who has been recommended by several people, including Marissa Hanson
(11:10):
as I saw him speaking as a guest before the
State Legislature recently. His website is Hometown Hero. He has
described as I think a HEMP activist. Lucas, welcome to
the program.
Speaker 12 (11:26):
Thank you for having me, sir. I'm a huge fan
and a big shout out to Marissa for setting us up.
She's been telling me for a while we should chat,
So thank you for taking the time for us.
Speaker 6 (11:33):
Well, I don't want to ruin your fandom, but I
need to know why.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
You've spelled Lucas with a K.
Speaker 12 (11:40):
My mom named me after cool Hand Luke, old school movie.
A lot of the younger kids might not remember it,
but one of my favorite movies.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
You're too young to know who cool Hand Luke is.
How old are you?
Speaker 8 (11:51):
Forty four?
Speaker 1 (11:52):
S there? Oh okay, I'm old enough to call you
a kid. That's kind of exciting. So first of all.
Speaker 6 (11:59):
First of all, let's let's full disclosures. You don't come
at this completely objectively.
Speaker 11 (12:04):
Like I do.
Speaker 6 (12:05):
See I'm very pious and righteous. You don't come at
this completely objectively. You are in the marijuana THCHC business.
Hometown Hero looks to be, by the way, nice site.
Who ever built that for you? It's a visually very
pleasing site. So let's talks about what you do and
then your position on this. Yes, sir, I'm the CEO
(12:26):
of Hometown Hero. We sell HEMP derived THHD products. We
were the very first company to.
Speaker 12 (12:30):
Sell this type of product in Texas in twenty nineteen
after HB thirteen twenty five legalized hemp within Texas. And
just to give some context, some backstory, the story is very,
very fascinating, and there's some information that came out yesterday
that makes this even more fascinating. And this is a
story that I've been dealing with now for since twenty
nineteen when hamp was legalized in Texas. So in twenty nineteen,
(12:52):
HB House Built thirteen twenty five passed. Senator Perry is
one of the authors. He authored the bill that created
this industry within Texas, and he is somebody that continuously
uses his sort of religious beliefs. And I'm Christian and
I have very similar beliefs, but he uses his religious
beliefs to attack us and to say things that are
horrible about us. And I believe that he also uses
(13:13):
that as sort of some of his predisposition around the
hatred of these products. And so he's sort of got
a little bit of egg on a face in the
sense that he created this industry. And one of the
times we got into it one of the committee hearings,
I congratulated him on creating an industry that literally created
more than fifty thousand jobs for Texans at a time
when that is an amazing thing, an amazing accomplishment. And
(13:33):
I've never seen a politician so upset and so angry
that he created fifty thousand jobs for Texans at that
moment with that man and his reaction to that, and
so he created this industry literally, and so he now
feels like it's under his purview to get.
Speaker 5 (13:51):
Rid of it.
Speaker 12 (13:51):
That's really I believe where the animosity comes from from
Senator Perry and why he is so actively trying to
get rid of this.
Speaker 8 (13:59):
There are other players involved, and over.
Speaker 12 (14:01):
The years this has evolved, and I can go deep
into the story of how all this happened if you like.
Speaker 8 (14:06):
It's highly fascinating.
Speaker 7 (14:07):
Go okay, So twenty nineteen HB thirteen.
Speaker 12 (14:12):
To twenty five passed and legalized hemp in Texas. When
that happened, it created this giant industry. Now, what they argue,
what the politicians will argue who created it? Center Perry
is one of them. They'll say that they didn't know
that THHD was in these products. That's incorrect, because I've
seen memos. If you go back to the original memos
around Senator Perry and even even with some of the
Lieutenant governor stuff, they acknowledged that THHD was in these products,
(14:33):
but it was under the zero point three percent delta
nine on drywait basis limit, and that comes from the
twenty eighteen Farm Bill. So Trump signed the twenty eighteen
Farm Bill legalizing hemp federally within the United States, and
everything made from him, not just hemp flower, not just
not just this, not just that, everything everything that comes
from hemp that his plant derived is federally legal under
(14:56):
one stipulation, as long as it contains less than zero
point three percent delta nine thhd on a dryway basis.
So in nature there's only one plant. There's Cannabis sativa L.
The L is the long Latin word that nobody ever pronounces,
but in all government documents, Cannabis sativa L is what
is referenced as the single plant that hemp and marijuana
come from. In nature, there's only one plant. TEMP and
(15:18):
marijuana are government created terms, the regulatory terms to distinguish
cabinoid within the plant. There's about one hundred and thirty
five cannabinoids within Cannabis Sativa L and hamp and marijuana.
It's all the same thing. And so the government created
these two terms to distinguish low THHD cannabis and high
THHD cannabis, and they distinguish it by a zero point
(15:39):
three percent delta nine thhd on a dryway basis. So,
out of the one hundred and thirty five cannabinoids in
that plant, there is one single cannabinoid that the government
really angled in on. It's the main psychoactive cannabinoid. It's
the one if if you eat an edible or you
smoke a joint, it's what's gonna get you possible, right,
pull in just a second.
Speaker 6 (15:58):
Lewis Keel Piers, our guest is website is hometown's hero
dot com. And speaking before the House in the last
week over this whole THHC madness.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Bad Dude the Michael Berry Show, and.
Speaker 6 (16:12):
As our state legislature convenes in a special session. You know,
I have been for a long time getting this wrong.
I constantly say that our legislature meets every two years
for one hundred and fifty days, so it's a buy
any old session every two years. And Steve Toathe State Rep.
(16:34):
Conservative State Rep. Who I think is probably the odds
on favorite to beat Dan Crenshaw. He's running against Dan
Crenshaw in the Republican primary congressional district too. He corrected
me that it's one hundred and forty days, and I
went back and look, and I don't know. I think
I've thought it was one hundred and fifty days since
I was in high school and probably first looked that
up in what Ramon. We used to have what we'd
(16:56):
call a book. You'd go to the library. If you
wanted to check on something, you'd go to the library.
You'd ask Mistold, our librarian. She'd send you to the
book section that books all over the shelves, and you'd
go overre you'd use a Dewey decimal system named after
Dewey Cox, and you'd go over there and you'd pull
the book out and you'd look it up and there
(17:18):
it would be, and you would hope that the information
hadn't changed since that book had been published in nineteen
forty two. But anyway, it's every one hundred and forty
days every two years.
Speaker 11 (17:30):
Now.
Speaker 6 (17:31):
Our constitution gives the governor the power to call a
special session under certain circumstances. He has to tell what
it's going to be it's limited to thirty days, but
he could call multiple zone redistricting was supposed to be
the big issue. Trump wants redistricting in Texas because we've
got gerrymander districts that now you can apply the same standards,
(17:55):
and they are districts that have been drafted so that
Democrats couldn't help it when and that needs to be fixed.
But we're not focusing on that. We're focusing on the
fact that the medical marijuana industry, through Alan Blakemore, is
controlling Dan Patrick. And now it turns out, as of yesterday,
Greg Abbott's played his hand and they've split the Republican
(18:17):
Party and the Democrats are just looking back and laughing.
How do you destroy your Republican majority. You take an
issue that splits the libertarians, people who care about the
individual and freedom and not authoritarianism. You split those people
from the people who want a theocracy like we're in Iran,
who in the name of God will take away every
(18:39):
right you've ever had. And this is how you lose elections.
Lucas Gilkey is our guest. His website is Hometown Heroes
dot com. Is that right? I don't have it up
right now, hometown hero dot com singular hometown hero dot com.
I'm sorry, why were you asked to speak before the legislature.
Speaker 12 (18:59):
So, like I was kind of alluding to with the
sort of twenty eighteen trumps on the farm villa and
legalized hemp. So this has been highly contentious within Texas
and so one of the really disheartening things about yesterday
speaking with the Senate committee was that they completely ignored,
as you were saying, they.
Speaker 8 (19:14):
Ignored all the relevant priorities.
Speaker 12 (19:16):
They didn't even the first committee hearing was hemp and
trying to make hemp the legal and trying to put
people in jail for cannabis when you know over one
hundred people just died from floods. That's insanity. And so
it's really alludes to sort of the hypocrisy of the
Senate that this is their number one priority. And you know,
you're talking about the information that came out yesterday around
(19:38):
the Lieutenant governor and sort of the issues of the
lobbying and sort of how this is all being controlled.
It really stems from that. So in Texas, we have
a medical marijuana program called Teaco Texas Compassionate Use Program
it's been around since roughly twenty seventeen, and the Lieutenant
Governor has gotten his hands in that, and it sounds like,
(19:58):
at least from what the articles stayed, and it's been
pretty apparent throughout our fight that they are through regulatory capture.
They're trying to kill an eight billion dollar industry within
Texas that has four point three billion dollars in retail sales,
the hemp industry. They're trying to kill it. They're trying
to hand it to the medical Marijuana Group, which only
has three licensed companies. By the way, and it's been
(20:19):
almost ten years. They have three licensed companies, and the
people that are involved in those companies are set up
to be billionaires. The only reason those people aren't billionaires
is because of the hemp industry within Texas.
Speaker 8 (20:30):
Let's be clear about that.
Speaker 12 (20:31):
So I went yesterday to speak and draw attention to
the hypocrisy of what they're trying to do and trying
to get rid of us, especially when it comes to alcohol.
Speaker 7 (20:38):
You've got alcohol in Texas that causes the CDC.
Speaker 12 (20:41):
Reports more than ten thousand deaths a year in Texas
just Texas are attributed to excessive alcohol consumption and hemp
is called zero death. Cannabis in Texas is called zero deaths.
And they're trying to outlaw this entire industry and hand
it over to the medical marijuana groups, which are largely
controlled by out of state MSOs, by the way, multiple
multi state operators. It's people that aren't even from Texas
(21:04):
that control these companies.
Speaker 8 (21:05):
When we have a home grown.
Speaker 7 (21:07):
Texas hemp industry right here, right now that supports more
than fifty three.
Speaker 12 (21:11):
Thousand Texans with jobs. It is the most insane thing
I have ever seen in my entire life in politics.
And what you were alluding to is sort of who's
controlling what and some of the lobbyists. It all makes
sense now and there's clarity around it. For a long time,
we didn't have names of who to put where and
who was doing what. But I think it's becoming pretty
apparent now and I'm very happy that you're talking about it.
Speaker 6 (21:32):
Texas scorecard dot Com Michael quinn Sullivan is the publisher there,
has a piece this morning about Blake Morri's control Alan
Blakemorris control of the state legislature. And I told Dan
Patrick when he was running for Lieutenant governor, I said
get away from Dan, from Alan Blakemore. He will be
the downfall of you and the Republican Party in Texas.
(21:54):
And mark my words, he will be the Jeff Skilling.
He will be the lament that brings all of this
to He'll be the Jeffrey Epstein. I'm not suggesting a
sexual element, but he'll be the Jeffrey Epstein of all this.
There will be people who will deny they ever knew him.
He is as evil as it gets and he has
an absolute stranglehold because what he does is he's the
(22:18):
consultant to the candidate and gets them elected, and then
once they're elected, he's the lobbyist for the interests that
want them to vote the way he wants. So you
get people who just enjoy being an elected official and
they just Alan Blakemore take care of everything. And he
is evil and this guy he is feathering his own nest.
(22:39):
It is absolutely awful and it is outside the interests
of the base. And nobody wants to stand up to him.
And now that he controls Dan Patrick, really nobody wants
to stand up to him. But there will come a
day and I will do the I told you so
dance and I will do the dance, and I will
remind everybody that I warned you that Demonoman has ruined everything.
(23:01):
So sorry, did you say how you were chosen to
speak before the legislature.
Speaker 12 (23:07):
It was simply a process where you show up and register.
They didn't ask me to speak. I wasn't one of
the requested sort of testifiers. They have their own set
group that go up there and sort of spout a
whole bunch of lies. They have a set group of
people that go up there with rehearsed scripts, and this
has been happening now since April of twenty twenty four,
that they just have this same group of people go
(23:27):
up every time and spout their lies to prove their agenda,
and then, just like yesterday, unanimously tend to zero despite
all these people showing up from the industry telling them
that this is insanity and what are they doing?
Speaker 7 (23:39):
You know, even if you go on social media and
you look.
Speaker 12 (23:41):
At Dan Patrick's post or somebody else's post online regarding
what was Senate Bill three and now Senate Bill five via,
I mean, the odds are one thousand to one, and
what's crazy you're alluding to it? It's Democrats and it's
Republicans both saying that this person needs to be voted
out of office. They're literally turning their own constituents against
them with this. It's very harmful to Texas and it's
(24:02):
very dangerous.
Speaker 6 (24:05):
It's very dangerous, and it goes against You know, we
spend so much time arguing over whether marijuana is dangerous
or not, and relatively speaking, it's not. We spend so
much time on all this nonsense and what gets lost
in the mix and the Charles Perry's the of the
world don't understand this, the concept of freedom. Most people
(24:27):
don't care about politics. They don't care about what gets
those people's rocks off. What they want is to run
their business, live their lives, raise their kids, and be
left the hell alone. And then Charles Perry comes knocking
on the door to ask what the smell is inside?
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Hold On Lucas guilty?
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Is actress Prosen putting on a stake the Michael Show,
Jello brand pudding pops, maybe the goodness of real jello pudding.
Speaker 6 (24:52):
For those of you asking, yes, Ramon is back. He
is off suspension, so we can put that issue to bed. No,
he's not getting his own show. No, he's not speaking
on the air, and he'll probably be gone by the
end of the year, would be my suspicion. We are
currently interviewing for his replacement. Crazy Train by Ozzy Osbourne,
(25:15):
who the News broke yesterday has passed, was the walk
up song of what Houston astro Lucas Gilkey.
Speaker 1 (25:24):
Where are you from?
Speaker 8 (25:28):
I'm kind of from all over, sir.
Speaker 12 (25:30):
I grew up in Florida High School, in Arizona Military
in California. I was in the US Coast Guard Encounter
Narcotics Unit, so I'm kind.
Speaker 8 (25:36):
Of from all over.
Speaker 1 (25:39):
That's awesome.
Speaker 6 (25:41):
My brother was a SWAT officer and spent two years
undercover and spent a lot of time making drug arrests.
And he was the one who first told me that
I was thinking about this issue incorrectly, and who told
me that alcohol was a thousand times more dangerous than
marijuana and that we needed to look at this differently
(26:03):
and kind of walking through that. But well, then you
won't know the answer, but I will pose the question
and give folks a moment to think about it for themselves.
What famous Houston astro's walk up song was Crazy Trained
by Ozzy Osbourne would you like.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
To hazard a guest, Lucas oh Man, I have no idea.
Speaker 8 (26:24):
I'll be blunt.
Speaker 12 (26:25):
My life is absolutely consumed with this fight with the
Texas politicians, and I don't watch a whole lot of.
Speaker 8 (26:30):
Sports to be blunt.
Speaker 6 (26:32):
Jeff Bagwell was the correct answer. Jeff Bagwell, this was
probably before you were consumed with this issue. And I
read this morning for longtime Astros fans that Bagwell is
the one who recommended Ter Sandman by Metallica. I did
not realize that was not Billy Wagner's original walk up song.
His original walk up song was for those of you
(26:55):
who get it right, pat on the back. His original
walk up song was Fireman by George Strait, and Bagwell
recommended Enter Sandman to set a whole different mood. Louis
guilty in your mind. Obviously you have a vested interest.
Obviously you are biased. You know you own hometown hero.
(27:17):
You're in the THHC product business.
Speaker 3 (27:21):
You know.
Speaker 6 (27:22):
My brother explained to me that the long term effects
he would watch people in fact, was this a guy
who went to high school with who got really really
hooked on meth. And my brother would call and tell
me after he'd had to arrest him again, and it
just broke his heart. He'd say, you know, if I
knew what I know now back then in high school,
I would tell some of the teachers, your whole anti
(27:43):
marijuana thing is misplaced. What you ought to do is
get people off of alcohol. That's what causes especially men
to beat the snot out of their women. It's what
causes men to fight in bars, it's what causes drunk driving.
Folks on marijuana sit on their couch and eat Cheetos
and watch TV and don't bother anybody.
Speaker 1 (27:59):
But when you're dealing with.
Speaker 6 (28:02):
People every day who are coming in seeking this product,
whether whether recreationally or self medicating, who are these people,
what do they look like, what's their demographic, and what
are they wanting.
Speaker 12 (28:14):
It's not what you typically expect, and it's not the
stereotype that we grew up with. And I'm going to
challenge your stereotype of using cannabis to really kind of
sit there and just eat and be lazy. So a
lot of our customers are actually patients that are going
through chemotherapy for cancer. They're veterans that have been prescribed
and multitude of multitude of opioids by the Veterans Administration
by the VAS. The VAS go to if you go
(28:36):
you're a veteran, you go to the VA. Their go
to is to give you opioids for almost everything. And
then a lot of these guys end up on seventeen
different prescriptions because they're treating the side effects of the
stuff that they're taking, and then the side effects of
that stuff.
Speaker 8 (28:47):
It's never ending.
Speaker 12 (28:48):
And so we've got a lot of customers that are veterans,
and this is why we're involved with the VFW, the
Veterans of Foreign Wars who try love and they're amazing organization,
National and State. Highly recommend if any of your listeners
are veterans of foreign wars go participate in that group.
They are wonderful people and they are the most active
in the best group that I've seen working with veterans
in the country.
Speaker 8 (29:07):
And we're we're doing everything we can to participate with them.
Speaker 12 (29:10):
They're actually they have a lot of members that work
with us, and they're even plaineffs in our lawsuit against
the State of Texas trying to ban HEMP products because
they understand that these products help so many of their
members in the Texas Compassionate Use Program. A lot of
people argue, well, oh, it's there, and people can get
medical member one in Texas. It is extremely expensive and
it's also very hard to participate in. It's very limited
(29:31):
in what they can do. The hemp products that we sell,
you can go on our website, you can buy them
with a credit card, and we can ship them to
your house. A lot of people in Texas don't know this.
We can literally mail you because they're federally in state
legal interstate commerce is fully allowed. You can go on
our website, you can purchase hemp drive PhD products and
we can ship them to your house.
Speaker 7 (29:50):
And you don't have to go get a license, You
don't have to do anything.
Speaker 12 (29:53):
We do have age verification and make sure that you're
of age, but other than that, you can participate in
this industry as an adult and you don't have to
go through all this crazy stuff, which which is you know,
to be blunt the.
Speaker 8 (30:03):
Way it should be.
Speaker 12 (30:04):
And you know, you talk about alcohol and sort of
the harm that it does, and I come from a
counter narcotics background, and I've seen the harm that those
drugs do.
Speaker 8 (30:11):
You know, I've when I was.
Speaker 12 (30:13):
Twenty years old, I helped offload a three hundred million
dollar cocaine bus and it's just wild to see some
of this stuff, and you know, to see the demonization
of cannabis when it really helps people. And I said,
I wanted to challenge your beliefs on it and sort
of making people lazy. You know, I personally have used
cannabis products to lose probably close to ninety pounds and
(30:33):
be the healthy stuff've ever been in my entire life.
And what I have found, and I think what a
lot of people are finding, is that using cannabis products
to work out, to run, to work out, it's really
an amazing anti inflammatory and amazing pain reliever and gives
you massive benefits, especially when you're older. I'm forty four
and I can outperform a lot of kids in their twenties.
(30:54):
And it's because I use cannabis products to train and
I use cannabis products to work out, and it is
absolutely wonderful for your body.
Speaker 6 (31:02):
When you talk about the cannabis products you use, obviously
there's sativa, there's different there's different types of products and
different intended outcomes. But let me say this before I
says I don't see a problem if someone wants to
self medicate and bring down their anxiety or sit on
(31:23):
the couch and eat cheat does I know that's not
the sole reason. I know there are different effects, but I,
for one, do not. I get a lot of little
old ladies that say, Michael, you can't legalize marijuana or
people will be lazy. It's not your job to motivate
people to begin with. And some people have a mind
that races and they can't get it to stop. It's
not your job or the government's job to prevent that
(31:45):
from happening. So I don't say that in a pejorative sense.
But back to the products you use, tell me about that.
Speaker 12 (31:54):
So we make a multi to products, mostly edibles, and
so we've got a variety of different edibles.
Speaker 7 (31:59):
Like and we also have vapes, you know. And it's
a vape that is one hundred.
Speaker 12 (32:04):
Percent pure distillate that you can inhale and it's there's
no smoke, so it's not going to harm your lungs
and it's not going to do all this crazy stuff
that smoking a joint would do or smoking a cigarette.
Very low impact on your body. And I'll actually run,
although run seven miles with one of our vapes in
my hand and hitting it as I desire when I'm
starting to feel pain and starting to starting to just
(32:24):
feel the stress and the pain of running. Running is
really hard.
Speaker 8 (32:28):
On your body.
Speaker 12 (32:28):
And I'm a bigger guy, you know, I'm six foot one,
and running for me can be a painful endeavor. It's
not the funnest thing in the world. But I will say,
using my vape and sort of getting in the right mindset,
I can go seven miles and gm out listening to
my music and absolutely love it, and that is something
that I can't do off of THHC.
Speaker 8 (32:45):
So I think for some.
Speaker 12 (32:46):
People it is an amazing benefit to working out into
being healthy, and there's a lot of people that are
finding the benefits to it, not just in sort of
the pain relief on the medical side, with you know, veterans.
Speaker 7 (32:56):
Dealing with the variety of medical issues, or even cancer patients.
Speaker 8 (32:59):
On pachemo therapy.
Speaker 12 (33:00):
There's a lot of people that are using it to
work out as well and really changing the stereotypes of
what we all grew up with around cannabis.
Speaker 6 (33:06):
I am not here to promote cannabis use. I am
here to promote the freedom of choice of individuals to
make their own adult decisions. Lucas Guilkey, thanks for being
our guest. Hometown hero dot com
