Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. So
Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
When I was.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Growing up, my father, who did not get to go
to college, believed that every citizen should read the newspaper,
you should be informed. And he would make reference to
things that were going on, tax increase, a new building
going in, a company relocating, somebody being arrested or elected,
(01:01):
or whatever else. And if I wasn't aware of what
was going on, he'd say, was in the paper. You
were supposed to read the paper. You were supposed to
be informed. Because there was a belief that that was
something we could all share. It kept us all aware
of the same things. Somewhere along the way we lost faith,
(01:25):
and rightfully so, in media. And interestingly, as that happened,
technology allowed for the everyman to be the media. The
citizen journalist is reporting and breaking more news today than anyone.
(01:45):
I think of the work that O'Keefe has done over
the last fifteen years, and some of the undercover work
he has done, is absolutely incredible. That is first person
journalism reporting. You have a whole separate group of folks
out there, and Houston is blessed with a few of them.
(02:07):
And probably a lot more that I don't know. Who
are citizen journalists who have an analyst's mind, a good heart,
a good cynical distrust for government, and a healthy skepticism
that they are out to enrich themselves. That's Marissa Hansen,
(02:29):
That's I guess. Bob Rehack is his name. I've never
met him. That is the anti flooding guy or the
flooding become the flooding expert. And one of them whose
name keeps popping up again and again. His name is
Bob Schote, and I see his comments constantly, and he's
one of these people who does what most people don't
(02:50):
want to do and what politicians hope you never will
and certainly the media doesn't do it. He actually goes
through government documents, he reads, he reviews, He makes posts,
and engages with people and refines his commentary over the time.
I have asked him to be our guest based on
some comments on a subject that he has been offering
(03:13):
commentary as a citizen judgment a journalist on so Bob
showed or common sense Bob as he calls himself and
seems to be best I can tell. Is our guest welcome.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
And a hearty good morning to you. Sir.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
You had commented on Christian Minifee, and you have questions
as to his eligibility to hold the county attorney position
while also running for Congress, something nobody seems to be
doing anything about. But your argument seems to me quite credible.
Can you explain that.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Yes, certainly, if you don't mind. Let's talk about what
his office actually is, the county attorney, because I actually
explain it twice to a very intelligent person the other day.
Harris County happened to have a county attorney who's in
charge of all the civil affairs and as a district
attorney who generally handles the criminal affairs. The smaller counties
(04:12):
have one person that does this, so the chief the
county attorney is the chief civil lawyer and represents the
county elected officials and employees in civil matters. The actual actually,
excuse me, also handle consumer protection, fraud issues, environmental issues.
You know, back after the weather events last year, your
(04:35):
menafees office went after a few gas stations for price gouging. Okay,
that's what they do, or you know, I guess people
could probably get the picture now, So Harry is he
barely get re elected last fall, and then right after
Sylvester Turner's funeral. I don't think the man's casket was
(04:56):
even out of the church. Yet he's outside with a
couple of microphones in front of him and now and
he wants he's going to run for that seat Congressional
District eighteen, the seat formerly held by Shila Jackson Lee
for what thirty years? Well, by the Texas Constitution, the
county attorney is one of the couple dozen offices where
(05:16):
that triggers an automatic resignation, which was acknowledged the following Monday,
March eighteenth. Multiple media sources carried the story. You know,
of course The Venerable, The Venerable, the Houston Chronicle, all
the TV stations, a couple of the smaller print media,
(05:37):
and of course Houston Public media. Now the funny thing
is kron dot com they're lying on. It was how
many how Christian men if he plans to win, didn't
even talk about the fact that he was the county
attorney and there might be some issues here. So again,
the automatic resignation is triggered now because he's declaring for
(05:58):
an office more than one year and thirty days before
the end of his term. Again, he just started a term,
and I think his term. I'm pretty sure it's four years,
so he barely into a second term. Now, everything else,
I read that it's up to the county commissioners to
(06:19):
appoint an interim or acting county attorney. And frankly, the
only thing I found on that was Article five, Section
twenty one in the state Constitution that gives commissioners court
the power to a point where there is no criminal
da So in my mind, and again I'm not a
(06:40):
legal expert, never played a lawyer on TV, I don't
see it seems to be kind of vague. But in
any case, it's been just now over four months. So
I got on this a couple of weeks ago and
I emailed all four county commissioners and the county Judge
directly produced myself. I'm a resident of Precinct four, but
(07:03):
you know, I want you to know that I'm concerned
and what's going on now. Commissioner Tom Ramsey brought this
to Commissioner's Court twice already and couldn't get a second
on the motion, and the the pushback basically was Rodney
Ellis is happy with what Christian men if he's doing. Sure,
(07:24):
from what I've seen, he's pushing Ellis's agenda, suing Donald Trump, suing,
suing Greg Abbott, suing, doing everything way beyond his scope
of work. So let's, you know, come back to my
notifying of the of our county leaders. Commas R. Ellis's
(07:48):
office responded the same day. You know it's from the office,
no name, no signature, thanked me for my engagement. Commissioner
Ellis stands for integrity, et cetera, et cetera, and then
says that he is he has no plans because mister
Menafie's doing doing a fine job. I finally heard from
(08:10):
Kirk from Thomas ar Brionis a few days later, after
I pushed a couple of responses on Facebook to a
couple of her posts, and.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
I guess we'll talk hold on, we'll talk more about
this conductor.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
W twenty five package and you get it all fiberglass
hood with air grabbing scoops. Mit the Michael Berry fucking.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Hood pins susmobile escaped from the ordinary. Enough people are talking,
and enough people are listening and sharing, then they can't
fool you any longer. The fact that the Houston Chronicles
publisher goes bike riding with Rodney Ellis a couple of
(08:53):
times a week, and they plan out, all right, we're
gonna redistrict Jack Cagle out of that seat. We'll put
Leslie Brioni's in there, and then we'll put this person
over here, and we'll do this, and we'll write this
article and we'll run this, and we'll do this, and
we'll put this person in this position, and we'll do
the elevate strategies, and we'll put the we'll kick kim
Ogg out and we'll put this person in after we've
already put kim Ogg in there. So what ends up
(09:17):
happening is in a dearth of information the public can't
ever gather, social media, for all the ills we hear of,
it has ended up being a powerful way to connect,
to share, to grow, to empower, to strengthen. He writes
under the name common Sense Bob. His name is Bob
showed Bob. I'm just going to turn off my microphone
(09:38):
and let you continue, because you had a good flow
going there.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
Take it away, Okay. You know it's funny you mentioned
elevates strategies and you might have covered this yesterday. But
that Felicity prayer. She's running for HISD school board.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Can you believe that she has no shame?
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Yeah, exactly. Anyway back to the Commissioner's court, I was
kind of rambling there, but yeah, the disturb me thing
is the namby Pamby responses I received from Brionas and
Hidalgo Garcia was crickets. Tom Ramsay gave me the courtesy
of a response from his personal email and said, you know, Bob,
I just can't I just can't get these folks to
move on it. Word on the street is they're not
(10:14):
gonna do anything till October, which is a day imn
Shane because I think it's a conflict of interest. I mean,
this isn't just a matter of moving the guy out
of the office. But if you look at a social
media post that I did this morning, I talent. It
went through his past twenty x posts. Okay, zero had
to do with county business. Four had to do with
what I call, you know, neutral of personal stuff, something
(10:34):
about basketball and whatever. Sixteen sixteen to the twenty had
to do with his congressional campaign, and his pined tweet
even says I'm running for Congress. So I'm I'm going
to appear at Commissioner's Court on August seventh at ten am,
and I encourage others to do so as well. If
you want to speak, great, sign up for a minute.
(10:55):
You've got to do it before nine o'clock that morning.
You can do it online. You can submit comments online
if you go to the website, which is Harris County,
t X dot gov. Go to Commissioner's Court and his
information there, submit, you know, submit your comments online and
just let him know this is this is kind of crazy. Yeah,
there's a I think there's a couple of potential conflicts
(11:17):
of interest that need to be addressed. For example, from
who is he accepting contributions for for his congressional race
while he's serving his county attorney? And also, you know,
in this matter, if he's the attorney for the county,
who's advising the Commissioner's court has to be him, right,
So gosh, folks, just just do the right thing. If
(11:39):
I think it was in Ellis's response to me that
he's doing a wonderful job, YadA YadA, Well if he's
doing such a wonderful job, he certainly has over the
over the four and a half years has developed a
deputy or two who can take over the job. You know,
they do so much through outside firms anyway, and it's
not like, you know, this is a five thousand resident
(12:00):
county where you know, the guy's got to sweep the
floor and lock the door where he leaves at night.
So you know, let's let you know, let's let's get
on with this. And that's I think about all I
have to say on it. That Like again, the next
Commission's Court meeting, or as I like to call it,
Commissar's Court. It's Thursday, August seventh, ten am, one thousand
and one preston the County Administration Building for Ust floor.
(12:23):
If you if you'd like to speak registered for nine am.
You just want to come and sit in the uh
in the gallery. That's great too, because they're going to
speak on this and also on a subject I'm creating
calling not one cent to combat Lena Hidalgo's latest scam
of adding a She wants to add a penny to
our to our tax, not just a penny, but a
(12:45):
penny on one thousand dollars valuation to continue childcare programs
that were started with our for funds. Yeah, it's not
like we don't have enough schools, churches, private organizations, non
government organizations that run after school and children's This is
just another scam, another way to get more money out
of our pocket. And if you want more information, if
(13:05):
you know my mentioning, I think you kind of already did.
Michael on X, I am common sense. Bob at Bob
Choke C H O A T E fifty four, easier
to find and happy to communicate me all there, Bob.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Thank you very much a man. Keep up the great work.
You know, thanks for the call. It is uh. It
is interesting to me to read through some of the
social media feeds that I do and see how many
(13:38):
people out there are extremely well informed of what's going on.
Some focus, some folks focus. Some folks focus on city
of Houston, some on the county, some on Metro, some
on the flood control, some on state legislature. Elected are
(14:01):
counting on you not paying attention. They're counting on you
not noticing how many tax cuts, I mean, how many
tax increases they've piled one on the other. They're counting
on you not noticing when they talk about wanting to
cut taxes that they have a business that is in
the process of protesting taxes, so higher taxes are actually
good for their business. They're counting on you not noticing
(14:24):
that for every time they're quoted in the news being
opposed to something, they've never actually introduced a provision to
stop it. And what they're counting on is kind of
a drive by consumer voter that you will only notice
(14:45):
that that person is always saying good things and not
notice that that person is never actually following through no
concrete action. I get nasty emails from people when I
criticize Greg Abba, and it's from people who I'm a Republican. Michael,
how come you to criticize Abbit focus on the Democrats.
(15:08):
The Democrats aren't in control of the House, the Senate,
and the governor's office. The five most jerrymandered congressional districts
in the country, as released by the liberal Washington Post,
of all things, the five most jerrymandered districts. Two of
them were in Texas. Just undo the evil that was
(15:31):
done there. And Greg Abbott has the opportunity, hey, if
he just gets those two redistricted so that they're not
discriminatory against voters in that region to water down their vote,
which is exactly what Rodney did to kick Cactus Jack
Kegle out of office. If he does that, then hey,
(15:51):
I'll applaud him. But you got to have folks. This
is why I rely on Rachel Palmer Hooper so much.
You got to have folks that dig in and actually
look at what's happening and follow this stuff for years
and go to these darn things that nobody wants to
go to, and then report on it. Got a message
from a woman named Amy Stoker, Amy Lee Stoker. She said,
(16:15):
I'm not sure how Pat Green got up and performed
Wave on wave after everything he lost in the flood.
Of course, his brother, his brother's wife, their children. Here
are the lyrics to the song. I'm not sure I'll
ever hear the song the same way again. And then
(16:36):
she posted a video of him singing it at the
Golden Nugget back a few days ago. It's amazing he
could have never imagined what would happen in his life,
and then his biggest song would be about the water
washing over you. It's a crazy, crazy ride we're on.
(17:02):
I'll tell you what. Yeah, she's attractive from moment, What
does that matter? I Uh, well, you know, why'd you
ask me that?
Speaker 5 (17:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:13):
You know, I always click on the profile pick just
to see what people look like.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
You know, she looks like.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Interestingly, have you seen.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Dexter?
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Did you ever watch Dexter? Do you remember the sister
Dexter sister? Yeah, she looks just like that woman. She's tall,
she kind of has the same smile, same face. Yeah,
that's more your look than mind, that's what she looks like.
Do you know that they played brother sister in that
(17:44):
TV show and they were married in real life? Did
you know that that? I'd have to be weird? And
then and then they get divorced in the middle of
filming and continue on. I guess that's why maybe she's
not in any of the later stuff. I'm embarrassed to
(18:04):
say that there's one now called Dexter the Resurrection. So
Dexter was one of my favorite shows for a long time.
Never missed it. And then and then they finished it
after five season. It had jumped the shark. And then
they waited about ten years and all of a sudden, poop,
it's it's Dexter again. And I think they've done three
since then, they've done three new Dexter new Blood Dexter,
(18:29):
Dexter resurrected Dexter jumps, the shark kills, it eats it.
I mean it's it's uh it is uh it was,
it's it's gone too far and I still can't stop
watching it. The worst part is I still cannot stop
watching it. A bit of a setback. I don't want
(18:51):
to say bad news because I'm still hopeful for the
for the best. But we told you the other day
about the seventeen year old young man Jarvis Spiers football
player suffered he stroke and I went into Rabdo and
Mike wil being hospitalized, and this happens more than you realize.
And please make sure if your young ones are out
playing soccer, football, whatever they're doing outdoors, that they are
(19:15):
hydrating because this is a more common occurrence and people
realize you don't want to have to. You know your
kid is doing something wholesome like playing sports, and all
of a sudden you're hospitalizing. This kid was in a
coma and then it looked like he was coming out
and he's suffered another setback. This is clip number eighteen
(19:36):
Ramon Roeblis Khou eleven.
Speaker 6 (19:39):
We have an update about a si Fair ict football
player who was recovering from a heat stroke he suffered
while training.
Speaker 7 (19:44):
Jarvis Spires appeared to be on the road to recovery
before a sudden and frightening setback over the weekend.
Speaker 6 (19:50):
Reagulera talked to Jarvis's mother last week when he woke
up from the first coma. Tonight, Maria talked with his
mother again to find out what happened here. She's live
in the medical center.
Speaker 7 (19:58):
Maria, Yeah, letting me after me Jarvis's mother here last week.
I just reached out today to see how he was doing,
hoping that he'd be home by now. But that's when
she told me that his health took a sudden turn
for the worst, taking everyone by surprise. The road to
recovery was starting to look clear. Now everything changed for
Jarvis Spires when, at seventeen years old, Jarvis, a Sidefair
(20:20):
ISD football player, has over a dozen offers from different colleges,
but he's in a medically induced coma again right now.
They're just doing a plethora of tests. It started July fifth,
when Jarvis suffered a heat stroke during an outdoor work
out with a personal trainer. He spent nine days in
a coma, woke up. Then over the weekend his health
(20:41):
took a drastic turn. His mom says he had trouble breathing,
a fever. Then doctors found internal bleeding. They had to
go out into emergency surgery to find the boys of
bleeding was coming from and.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
To stop the bleeding.
Speaker 7 (20:54):
It was like a light switch that flipped and here
we are again.
Speaker 8 (20:58):
It's been such a roll of close to ride or
are you doing?
Speaker 7 (21:01):
Emotionally?
Speaker 8 (21:02):
Mentally, I'm hanging in there, you know, at the best
that I can during a time like this, It's hard.
Speaker 7 (21:08):
Experts tell us heatstrokes can be complicated and tough to
recover from.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Heath stroke can happen, usually over the time period of
several hours.
Speaker 7 (21:17):
Doctor Neil Gandhi is the assistant medical director with Houston
Methodist Ears. He says the elderly and those under the
age of seventeen are most vulnerable. When should someone call
nine to one one.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
To think confusion, if you're passing out, if you stop sweating,
if you're outdoors and your skin becomes extremely dry. Also
if you're having any other neurological symptoms, think seizures. Any
of those issues would require immediate medical attention.
Speaker 7 (21:44):
As Jarvis continues to fight, his family holds on to
faith all of this just a domino effect from a
severe heat stroke. His family is now waiting and praying,
hoping for Jarvis to pull through. We're told that his
dream is to play in the NFL Live in the
med center. Maria Aguilera k you eleven eaves.
Speaker 8 (22:05):
I thought, wow is.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
I saw a meme the other day that said you're
going along your life and then all of a sudden
your kids off it camp and they don't come home,
and in this case, your kids at football practice and
then they're going to Camba.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Like wow it.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
He'll just go ahead.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
It's very humbling.
Speaker 9 (22:26):
Sorry, Michael Arry Show, damn flying. Yeah, they got beard.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
God read.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
David Spade turns sixty one today. My favorite role of
his is Joe Dirt. In this scene, he decides to
hire an Indian tracker to help find his parents. He
finds an Indian who owns a fireworks stand, a fireworks
stand that only sells snakes and sparklers, and he'll have
(23:04):
none of that.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
It's not working.
Speaker 5 (23:11):
You want me to put my ear to the ground.
Listen for hoof beats, check for footprints, hoop for broken twigs.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
But this is the modern age.
Speaker 10 (23:22):
That stuff doesn't work anymore, which is why I have
to open.
Speaker 8 (23:26):
This fireworks stand.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
I wasn't getting buy them when tracking wagers come on.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
You're supposed to be good at tracking stuff.
Speaker 8 (23:34):
Man. I gotta find my parents.
Speaker 5 (23:36):
And I've got to figure out a way to sell
more fireworks.
Speaker 8 (23:39):
I'm going broke with this spencer.
Speaker 5 (23:40):
Also, well, I see you got them snakes and sparklers.
Speaker 8 (23:43):
But there's good stuff, man, good stuff. This is the
good stuff. Snakes and sparklers? Are you nuts? Dude?
Speaker 10 (23:50):
Any stuff to explode?
Speaker 9 (23:52):
Go boom?
Speaker 6 (23:52):
Why is that?
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Might?
Speaker 10 (23:57):
As well as why's the tree good? Why is one
set good? Wid Boob's good?
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Man?
Speaker 5 (24:03):
Firecrackers?
Speaker 1 (24:04):
You stick them in.
Speaker 5 (24:05):
Mailboxes, you drop me toilets, you shove them up bullfrogs.
Speaker 10 (24:08):
Ass, I would never do that because I'm gonna be
a veterinarian.
Speaker 8 (24:12):
Well there you go.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
Someone shows them eighty up of bullfrogs, butt blows him
to pieces.
Speaker 10 (24:17):
He comes back to you to fix it. You win twice.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
Brother, it's good, bitch.
Speaker 10 (24:21):
So you're gonna tell me that.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
You don't have no black cats, no roman candles or
screaming memis.
Speaker 8 (24:26):
No, oh, come on, man, you don't got no.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
Lady fingers, buzz butterles, snicker bombs, church burners, finger blasters,
cut busters, zippity do dies or craft flappers.
Speaker 8 (24:34):
No, I don't.
Speaker 5 (24:35):
You're gonna stand there owning a fireworks stand and tell
me you don't have no whistling bungholes, no spleen splitters,
whisker biscuits, honkey lighters, hoosker dooos hoosker, don'ts cherry of bombs,
nipsy dazers with it without the scooter stick or one
single whistling kidty chaser.
Speaker 8 (24:53):
No, snakes and sparklers are the only ones I like
what It's not what you like, it's the consumer.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
There was such a problem with women having babies they
didn't want to keep throwing them in the trash, that
it became the case that you could take your baby
to a fire station, leave it, no questions asked, and
the baby would be cared for and placed with a
family that wanted to raise the baby, which makes the
(25:28):
following story that much more disturbing. A woman charged after
a newborn baby found dead in the trash story from
click to Houston.
Speaker 11 (25:37):
A woman now faces a charge of tampering with a
human corpse nearly a year after her newborn baby was
found dead inside of the back of a trash truck.
Take a look at this view here, showing the moments
deputies say waste workers discovered the little body in the
Chimney Hill neighborhood in northwest Harris County. Authority say twenty
three year old Katherine Ens told them she gave birth
(25:59):
to the child at home, but when she noticed the
infant was no longer breathing, she got really scared and
she put the infant inside of a trash bag. She
now faces fifty thousand dollars bond.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
I more proof that Houston has transformed into Detroit and Chicago.
This is what the Democrats want. Victims in the a
Leaf area shaken after a shooting spree has bullets hitting
their homes the story from ABC thirteen.
Speaker 8 (26:32):
Also tonight.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
More victims are coming forward saying their homes and cars
were hit by bullets during a shooting spree.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
We were first to bring in this story last weekend.
Speaker 7 (26:41):
Tonight, we're learning several homes were hit multiple times.
Speaker 6 (26:44):
ABC thirteen's Luke Jones live with the details tonight Luke.
Speaker 10 (26:47):
Yeah, and on the surface, you'd think maybe this is targeted.
Will the victims say no, at least not according to
the information they have available. They don't recognize the suspects
in these cases, and they say they've never done anything
that would cause someone to want to shoot their houses.
A Mission Band home riddled with bullet holes, car windows
shot out after five shootings. The homeowner says, all in
(27:10):
the early morning hours. The same thing happened at this
home in a leaf just once on May first, but
it was enough to send the woman inside scrambling for cover.
Speaker 8 (27:19):
All the thing. You just hear the glass shuttering.
Speaker 10 (27:21):
You could see a man walking up a surveillance video firing.
What the victims says, we're about a dozen bullets into
her house and car a.
Speaker 8 (27:28):
Little bit more than half a foot next to like
where my pillow is, where leay my head. One of
the bullets went in through there.
Speaker 10 (27:36):
And just like all the other victims, she says, she
has no idea why her house was shot up. Last week,
the Harriscuty Sheriff's Office arrested nineteen year old One Galvez
and eighteen year old Hosueya Manna Guzman. Sources say a
spend cartridge in this July sixth shooting links the two
to a total of eleven shootings over a two month period,
and the mission banded a leaf Fairias. Although for now
(27:58):
the suspects are only charged in connection to one shooting.
This woman targeted twice, first at her home, then at
her brother's house while her nine year old daughter slept inside.
Speaker 8 (28:08):
Why is this happening to me?
Speaker 7 (28:11):
If I don't even know these guys, You know there's
been a nightmare, especially for my daughter.
Speaker 10 (28:15):
The suspects were originally charged with aggravated assault with a
deadly weapon, which carries up to twenty years in prison,
but prosecutors have since downgraded their charges to deadly conduct,
which comes with just half the possible sentence. Asked if
there could be more arrests and more charges, the Sheriff's
office would only say their investigation remains active.
Speaker 8 (28:36):
There could have been so many victims to all these shootings,
so much damage to people's homes too.
Speaker 10 (28:42):
Luke Jones, ABC thirteen Eyewitness News.
Speaker 3 (28:46):
These are broken cultures that do this. It is broken
cultures of people who do this, drive around, shooting into homes,
making babies, they don't raise he's it's broken. You can
say that you shouldn't criticize it. You can do what
(29:06):
it is broken. Unrelated pivot change. We talked earlier about homeschooling.
Bert Harvey has done a lot of construction for me
over the years, says Sean. This is his son. Wants
to finish his last two years homeschool. He's worked with
me all summer, mostly on Curly's crew. They haven't given
him special treatment. He's done well. He's learning a lot,
(29:27):
he's working hard. He's working in Tell You Ride for
the next two weeks. A friend of mine got a
job installing cabinets doing millwork in school there. He needed help.
Shawn asked Sarah, that's Birch's wife, and I if he
could keep working with us and finish school online. He
doesn't want to go to college and wants to work
with us. I didn't tell him no, but I said,
we talk about it. I have mixed feelings. My last
(29:47):
grade completed was eighth. I want better for my kids,
but I also don't want him to do something that's
not best for him. I'm incredibly proud and I want
the best for him. You know what's interesting. Bert wants
He says, I want what's best for him. I don't
want him to have but Bert doesn't realize he's extremely successful.
(30:08):
He has a business that employs people, a beautiful home,
very happy family. You don't need credentials to be happy
if you've got a story like that. Call Us and
tell Us seven one three, nine nine, nine, one thousand
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. So
Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
When I was.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Growing up, my father, who did not get to go
to college, believed that every citizen should read the newspaper,
you should be informed. And he would make reference to
things that were going on, tax increase, a new building
going in, a company relocating, somebody being arrested or elected,
(01:01):
or whatever else. And if I wasn't aware of what
was going on, he'd say, was in the paper. You
were supposed to read the paper. You were supposed to
be informed. Because there was a belief that that was
something we could all share. It kept us all aware
of the same things. Somewhere along the way we lost faith,
(01:25):
and rightfully so, in media. And interestingly, as that happened,
technology allowed for the everyman to be the media. The
citizen journalist is reporting and breaking more news today than anyone.
(01:45):
I think of the work that O'Keefe has done over
the last fifteen years, and some of the undercover work
he has done, is absolutely incredible. That is first person
journalism reporting. You have a whole separate group of folks
out there, and Houston is blessed with a few of them.
(02:07):
And probably a lot more that I don't know. Who
are citizen journalists who have an analyst's mind, a good heart,
a good cynical distrust for government, and a healthy skepticism
that they are out to enrich themselves. That's Marissa Hansen,
(02:29):
That's I guess. Bob Rehack is his name. I've never
met him. That is the anti flooding guy or the
flooding become the flooding expert. And one of them whose
name keeps popping up again and again. His name is
Bob Schote, and I see his comments constantly, and he's
one of these people who does what most people don't
(02:50):
want to do and what politicians hope you never will
and certainly the media doesn't do it. He actually goes
through government documents, he reads, he reviews, He makes posts,
and engages with people and refines his commentary over the time.
I have asked him to be our guest based on
some comments on a subject that he has been offering
(03:13):
commentary as a citizen judgment a journalist on so Bob
showed or common sense Bob as he calls himself and
seems to be best I can tell. Is our guest welcome.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
And a hearty good morning to you. Sir.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
You had commented on Christian Minifee, and you have questions
as to his eligibility to hold the county attorney position
while also running for Congress, something nobody seems to be
doing anything about. But your argument seems to me quite credible.
Can you explain that.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Yes, certainly, if you don't mind. Let's talk about what
his office actually is, the county attorney, because I actually
explain it twice to a very intelligent person the other day.
Harris County happened to have a county attorney who's in
charge of all the civil affairs and as a district
attorney who generally handles the criminal affairs. The smaller counties
(04:12):
have one person that does this, so the chief the
county attorney is the chief civil lawyer and represents the
county elected officials and employees in civil matters. The actual actually,
excuse me, also handle consumer protection, fraud issues, environmental issues.
You know, back after the weather events last year, your
(04:35):
menafees office went after a few gas stations for price gouging. Okay,
that's what they do, or you know, I guess people
could probably get the picture now, So Harry is he
barely get re elected last fall, and then right after
Sylvester Turner's funeral. I don't think the man's casket was
(04:56):
even out of the church. Yet he's outside with a
couple of microphones in front of him and now and
he wants he's going to run for that seat Congressional
District eighteen, the seat formerly held by Shila Jackson Lee
for what thirty years? Well, by the Texas Constitution, the
county attorney is one of the couple dozen offices where
(05:16):
that triggers an automatic resignation, which was acknowledged the following Monday,
March eighteenth. Multiple media sources carried the story. You know,
of course The Venerable, The Venerable, the Houston Chronicle, all
the TV stations, a couple of the smaller print media,
(05:37):
and of course Houston Public media. Now the funny thing
is kron dot com they're lying on. It was how
many how Christian men if he plans to win, didn't
even talk about the fact that he was the county
attorney and there might be some issues here. So again,
the automatic resignation is triggered now because he's declaring for
(05:58):
an office more than one year and thirty days before
the end of his term. Again, he just started a term,
and I think his term. I'm pretty sure it's four years,
so he barely into a second term. Now, everything else,
I read that it's up to the county commissioners to
(06:19):
appoint an interim or acting county attorney. And frankly, the
only thing I found on that was Article five, Section
twenty one in the state Constitution that gives commissioners court
the power to a point where there is no criminal
da So in my mind, and again I'm not a
(06:40):
legal expert, never played a lawyer on TV, I don't
see it seems to be kind of vague. But in
any case, it's been just now over four months. So
I got on this a couple of weeks ago and
I emailed all four county commissioners and the county Judge
directly produced myself. I'm a resident of Precinct four, but
(07:03):
you know, I want you to know that I'm concerned
and what's going on now. Commissioner Tom Ramsey brought this
to Commissioner's Court twice already and couldn't get a second
on the motion, and the the pushback basically was Rodney
Ellis is happy with what Christian men if he's doing. Sure,
(07:24):
from what I've seen, he's pushing Ellis's agenda, suing Donald Trump, suing,
suing Greg Abbott, suing, doing everything way beyond his scope
of work. So let's, you know, come back to my
notifying of the of our county leaders. Commas R. Ellis's
(07:48):
office responded the same day. You know it's from the office,
no name, no signature, thanked me for my engagement. Commissioner
Ellis stands for integrity, et cetera, et cetera, and then
says that he is he has no plans because mister
Menafie's doing doing a fine job. I finally heard from
(08:10):
Kirk from Thomas ar Brionis a few days later, after
I pushed a couple of responses on Facebook to a
couple of her posts, and.
Speaker 3 (08:22):
I guess we'll talk hold on, we'll talk more about
this conductor.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
W twenty five package and you get it all fiberglass
hood with air grabbing scoops. Mit the Michael Berry fucking.
Speaker 3 (08:33):
Hood pins susmobile escaped from the ordinary. Enough people are talking,
and enough people are listening and sharing, then they can't
fool you any longer. The fact that the Houston Chronicles
publisher goes bike riding with Rodney Ellis a couple of
(08:53):
times a week, and they plan out, all right, we're
gonna redistrict Jack Cagle out of that seat. We'll put
Leslie Brioni's in there, and then we'll put this person
over here, and we'll do this, and we'll write this
article and we'll run this, and we'll do this, and
we'll put this person in this position, and we'll do
the elevate strategies, and we'll put the we'll kick kim
Ogg out and we'll put this person in after we've
already put kim Ogg in there. So what ends up
(09:17):
happening is in a dearth of information the public can't
ever gather, social media, for all the ills we hear of,
it has ended up being a powerful way to connect,
to share, to grow, to empower, to strengthen. He writes
under the name common Sense Bob. His name is Bob
showed Bob. I'm just going to turn off my microphone
(09:38):
and let you continue, because you had a good flow
going there.
Speaker 4 (09:40):
Take it away, Okay. You know it's funny you mentioned
elevates strategies and you might have covered this yesterday. But
that Felicity prayer. She's running for HISD school board.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Can you believe that she has no shame?
Speaker 4 (09:53):
Yeah, exactly. Anyway back to the Commissioner's court, I was
kind of rambling there, but yeah, the disturb me thing
is the namby Pamby responses I received from Brionas and
Hidalgo Garcia was crickets. Tom Ramsay gave me the courtesy
of a response from his personal email and said, you know, Bob,
I just can't I just can't get these folks to
move on it. Word on the street is they're not
(10:14):
gonna do anything till October, which is a day imn
Shane because I think it's a conflict of interest. I mean,
this isn't just a matter of moving the guy out
of the office. But if you look at a social
media post that I did this morning, I talent. It
went through his past twenty x posts. Okay, zero had
to do with county business. Four had to do with
what I call, you know, neutral of personal stuff, something
(10:34):
about basketball and whatever. Sixteen sixteen to the twenty had
to do with his congressional campaign, and his pined tweet
even says I'm running for Congress. So I'm I'm going
to appear at Commissioner's Court on August seventh at ten am,
and I encourage others to do so as well. If
you want to speak, great, sign up for a minute.
(10:55):
You've got to do it before nine o'clock that morning.
You can do it online. You can submit comments online
if you go to the website, which is Harris County,
t X dot gov. Go to Commissioner's Court and his
information there, submit, you know, submit your comments online and
just let him know this is this is kind of crazy. Yeah,
there's a I think there's a couple of potential conflicts
(11:17):
of interest that need to be addressed. For example, from
who is he accepting contributions for for his congressional race
while he's serving his county attorney? And also, you know,
in this matter, if he's the attorney for the county,
who's advising the Commissioner's court has to be him, right,
So gosh, folks, just just do the right thing. If
(11:39):
I think it was in Ellis's response to me that
he's doing a wonderful job, YadA YadA, Well if he's
doing such a wonderful job, he certainly has over the
over the four and a half years has developed a
deputy or two who can take over the job. You know,
they do so much through outside firms anyway, and it's
not like, you know, this is a five thousand resident
(12:00):
county where you know, the guy's got to sweep the
floor and lock the door where he leaves at night.
So you know, let's let you know, let's let's get
on with this. And that's I think about all I
have to say on it. That Like again, the next
Commission's Court meeting, or as I like to call it,
Commissar's Court. It's Thursday, August seventh, ten am, one thousand
and one preston the County Administration Building for Ust floor.
(12:23):
If you if you'd like to speak registered for nine am.
You just want to come and sit in the uh
in the gallery. That's great too, because they're going to
speak on this and also on a subject I'm creating
calling not one cent to combat Lena Hidalgo's latest scam
of adding a She wants to add a penny to
our to our tax, not just a penny, but a
(12:45):
penny on one thousand dollars valuation to continue childcare programs
that were started with our for funds. Yeah, it's not
like we don't have enough schools, churches, private organizations, non
government organizations that run after school and children's This is
just another scam, another way to get more money out
of our pocket. And if you want more information, if
(13:05):
you know my mentioning, I think you kind of already did.
Michael on X, I am common sense. Bob at Bob
Choke C H O A T E fifty four, easier
to find and happy to communicate me all there, Bob.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Thank you very much a man. Keep up the great work.
You know, thanks for the call. It is uh. It
is interesting to me to read through some of the
social media feeds that I do and see how many
(13:38):
people out there are extremely well informed of what's going on.
Some focus, some folks focus. Some folks focus on city
of Houston, some on the county, some on Metro, some
on the flood control, some on state legislature. Elected are
(14:01):
counting on you not paying attention. They're counting on you
not noticing how many tax cuts, I mean, how many
tax increases they've piled one on the other. They're counting
on you not noticing when they talk about wanting to
cut taxes that they have a business that is in
the process of protesting taxes, so higher taxes are actually
good for their business. They're counting on you not noticing
(14:24):
that for every time they're quoted in the news being
opposed to something, they've never actually introduced a provision to
stop it. And what they're counting on is kind of
a drive by consumer voter that you will only notice
(14:45):
that that person is always saying good things and not
notice that that person is never actually following through no
concrete action. I get nasty emails from people when I
criticize Greg Abba, and it's from people who I'm a Republican. Michael,
how come you to criticize Abbit focus on the Democrats.
(15:08):
The Democrats aren't in control of the House, the Senate,
and the governor's office. The five most jerrymandered congressional districts
in the country, as released by the liberal Washington Post,
of all things, the five most jerrymandered districts. Two of
them were in Texas. Just undo the evil that was
(15:31):
done there. And Greg Abbott has the opportunity, hey, if
he just gets those two redistricted so that they're not
discriminatory against voters in that region to water down their vote,
which is exactly what Rodney did to kick Cactus Jack
Kegle out of office. If he does that, then hey,
(15:51):
I'll applaud him. But you got to have folks. This
is why I rely on Rachel Palmer Hooper so much.
You got to have folks that dig in and actually
look at what's happening and follow this stuff for years
and go to these darn things that nobody wants to
go to, and then report on it. Got a message
from a woman named Amy Stoker, Amy Lee Stoker. She said,
(16:15):
I'm not sure how Pat Green got up and performed
Wave on wave after everything he lost in the flood.
Of course, his brother, his brother's wife, their children. Here
are the lyrics to the song. I'm not sure I'll
ever hear the song the same way again. And then
(16:36):
she posted a video of him singing it at the
Golden Nugget back a few days ago. It's amazing he
could have never imagined what would happen in his life,
and then his biggest song would be about the water
washing over you. It's a crazy, crazy ride we're on.
(17:02):
I'll tell you what. Yeah, she's attractive from moment, What
does that matter? I Uh, well, you know, why'd you
ask me that?
Speaker 5 (17:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:13):
You know, I always click on the profile pick just
to see what people look like.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
You know, she looks like.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Interestingly, have you seen.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Dexter?
Speaker 3 (17:24):
Did you ever watch Dexter? Do you remember the sister
Dexter sister? Yeah, she looks just like that woman. She's tall,
she kind of has the same smile, same face. Yeah,
that's more your look than mind, that's what she looks like.
Do you know that they played brother sister in that
(17:44):
TV show and they were married in real life? Did
you know that that? I'd have to be weird? And
then and then they get divorced in the middle of
filming and continue on. I guess that's why maybe she's
not in any of the later stuff. I'm embarrassed to
(18:04):
say that there's one now called Dexter the Resurrection. So
Dexter was one of my favorite shows for a long time.
Never missed it. And then and then they finished it
after five season. It had jumped the shark. And then
they waited about ten years and all of a sudden, poop,
it's it's Dexter again. And I think they've done three
since then, they've done three new Dexter new Blood Dexter,
(18:29):
Dexter resurrected Dexter jumps, the shark kills, it eats it.
I mean it's it's uh it is uh it was,
it's it's gone too far and I still can't stop
watching it. The worst part is I still cannot stop
watching it. A bit of a setback. I don't want
(18:51):
to say bad news because I'm still hopeful for the
for the best. But we told you the other day
about the seventeen year old young man Jarvis Spiers football
player suffered he stroke and I went into Rabdo and
Mike wil being hospitalized, and this happens more than you realize.
And please make sure if your young ones are out
playing soccer, football, whatever they're doing outdoors, that they are
(19:15):
hydrating because this is a more common occurrence and people
realize you don't want to have to. You know your
kid is doing something wholesome like playing sports, and all
of a sudden you're hospitalizing. This kid was in a
coma and then it looked like he was coming out
and he's suffered another setback. This is clip number eighteen
(19:36):
Ramon Roeblis Khou eleven.
Speaker 6 (19:39):
We have an update about a si Fair ict football
player who was recovering from a heat stroke he suffered
while training.
Speaker 7 (19:44):
Jarvis Spires appeared to be on the road to recovery
before a sudden and frightening setback over the weekend.
Speaker 6 (19:50):
Reagulera talked to Jarvis's mother last week when he woke
up from the first coma. Tonight, Maria talked with his
mother again to find out what happened here. She's live
in the medical center.
Speaker 7 (19:58):
Maria, Yeah, letting me after me Jarvis's mother here last week.
I just reached out today to see how he was doing,
hoping that he'd be home by now. But that's when
she told me that his health took a sudden turn
for the worst, taking everyone by surprise. The road to
recovery was starting to look clear. Now everything changed for
Jarvis Spires when, at seventeen years old, Jarvis, a Sidefair
(20:20):
ISD football player, has over a dozen offers from different colleges,
but he's in a medically induced coma again right now.
They're just doing a plethora of tests. It started July fifth,
when Jarvis suffered a heat stroke during an outdoor work
out with a personal trainer. He spent nine days in
a coma, woke up. Then over the weekend his health
(20:41):
took a drastic turn. His mom says he had trouble breathing,
a fever. Then doctors found internal bleeding. They had to
go out into emergency surgery to find the boys of
bleeding was coming from and.
Speaker 4 (20:53):
To stop the bleeding.
Speaker 7 (20:54):
It was like a light switch that flipped and here
we are again.
Speaker 8 (20:58):
It's been such a roll of close to ride or
are you doing?
Speaker 7 (21:01):
Emotionally?
Speaker 8 (21:02):
Mentally, I'm hanging in there, you know, at the best
that I can during a time like this, It's hard.
Speaker 7 (21:08):
Experts tell us heatstrokes can be complicated and tough to
recover from.
Speaker 2 (21:13):
Heath stroke can happen, usually over the time period of
several hours.
Speaker 7 (21:17):
Doctor Neil Gandhi is the assistant medical director with Houston
Methodist Ears. He says the elderly and those under the
age of seventeen are most vulnerable. When should someone call
nine to one one.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
To think confusion, if you're passing out, if you stop sweating,
if you're outdoors and your skin becomes extremely dry. Also
if you're having any other neurological symptoms, think seizures. Any
of those issues would require immediate medical attention.
Speaker 7 (21:44):
As Jarvis continues to fight, his family holds on to
faith all of this just a domino effect from a
severe heat stroke. His family is now waiting and praying,
hoping for Jarvis to pull through. We're told that his
dream is to play in the NFL Live in the
med center. Maria Aguilera k you eleven eaves.
Speaker 8 (22:05):
I thought, wow is.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
I saw a meme the other day that said you're
going along your life and then all of a sudden
your kids off it camp and they don't come home,
and in this case, your kids at football practice and
then they're going to Camba.
Speaker 4 (22:22):
Like wow it.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
He'll just go ahead.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
It's very humbling.
Speaker 9 (22:26):
Sorry, Michael Arry Show, damn flying. Yeah, they got beard.
Speaker 2 (22:39):
God read.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
David Spade turns sixty one today. My favorite role of
his is Joe Dirt. In this scene, he decides to
hire an Indian tracker to help find his parents. He
finds an Indian who owns a fireworks stand, a fireworks
stand that only sells snakes and sparklers, and he'll have
(23:04):
none of that.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
It's not working.
Speaker 5 (23:11):
You want me to put my ear to the ground.
Listen for hoof beats, check for footprints, hoop for broken twigs.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
But this is the modern age.
Speaker 10 (23:22):
That stuff doesn't work anymore, which is why I have
to open.
Speaker 8 (23:26):
This fireworks stand.
Speaker 2 (23:28):
I wasn't getting buy them when tracking wagers come on.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
You're supposed to be good at tracking stuff.
Speaker 8 (23:34):
Man. I gotta find my parents.
Speaker 5 (23:36):
And I've got to figure out a way to sell
more fireworks.
Speaker 8 (23:39):
I'm going broke with this spencer.
Speaker 5 (23:40):
Also, well, I see you got them snakes and sparklers.
Speaker 8 (23:43):
But there's good stuff, man, good stuff. This is the
good stuff. Snakes and sparklers? Are you nuts? Dude?
Speaker 10 (23:50):
Any stuff to explode?
Speaker 9 (23:52):
Go boom?
Speaker 6 (23:52):
Why is that?
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Might?
Speaker 10 (23:57):
As well as why's the tree good? Why is one
set good? Wid Boob's good?
Speaker 3 (24:02):
Man?
Speaker 5 (24:03):
Firecrackers?
Speaker 1 (24:04):
You stick them in.
Speaker 5 (24:05):
Mailboxes, you drop me toilets, you shove them up bullfrogs.
Speaker 10 (24:08):
Ass, I would never do that because I'm gonna be
a veterinarian.
Speaker 8 (24:12):
Well there you go.
Speaker 5 (24:13):
Someone shows them eighty up of bullfrogs, butt blows him
to pieces.
Speaker 10 (24:17):
He comes back to you to fix it. You win twice.
Speaker 5 (24:19):
Brother, it's good, bitch.
Speaker 10 (24:21):
So you're gonna tell me that.
Speaker 5 (24:23):
You don't have no black cats, no roman candles or
screaming memis.
Speaker 8 (24:26):
No, oh, come on, man, you don't got no.
Speaker 5 (24:28):
Lady fingers, buzz butterles, snicker bombs, church burners, finger blasters,
cut busters, zippity do dies or craft flappers.
Speaker 8 (24:34):
No, I don't.
Speaker 5 (24:35):
You're gonna stand there owning a fireworks stand and tell
me you don't have no whistling bungholes, no spleen splitters,
whisker biscuits, honkey lighters, hoosker dooos hoosker, don'ts cherry of bombs,
nipsy dazers with it without the scooter stick or one
single whistling kidty chaser.
Speaker 8 (24:53):
No, snakes and sparklers are the only ones I like
what It's not what you like, it's the consumer.
Speaker 3 (25:05):
There was such a problem with women having babies they
didn't want to keep throwing them in the trash, that
it became the case that you could take your baby
to a fire station, leave it, no questions asked, and
the baby would be cared for and placed with a
family that wanted to raise the baby, which makes the
(25:28):
following story that much more disturbing. A woman charged after
a newborn baby found dead in the trash story from
click to Houston.
Speaker 11 (25:37):
A woman now faces a charge of tampering with a
human corpse nearly a year after her newborn baby was
found dead inside of the back of a trash truck.
Take a look at this view here, showing the moments
deputies say waste workers discovered the little body in the
Chimney Hill neighborhood in northwest Harris County. Authority say twenty
three year old Katherine Ens told them she gave birth
(25:59):
to the child at home, but when she noticed the
infant was no longer breathing, she got really scared and
she put the infant inside of a trash bag. She
now faces fifty thousand dollars bond.
Speaker 3 (26:14):
I more proof that Houston has transformed into Detroit and Chicago.
This is what the Democrats want. Victims in the a
Leaf area shaken after a shooting spree has bullets hitting
their homes the story from ABC thirteen.
Speaker 8 (26:32):
Also tonight.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
More victims are coming forward saying their homes and cars
were hit by bullets during a shooting spree.
Speaker 4 (26:39):
We were first to bring in this story last weekend.
Speaker 7 (26:41):
Tonight, we're learning several homes were hit multiple times.
Speaker 6 (26:44):
ABC thirteen's Luke Jones live with the details tonight Luke.
Speaker 10 (26:47):
Yeah, and on the surface, you'd think maybe this is targeted.
Will the victims say no, at least not according to
the information they have available. They don't recognize the suspects
in these cases, and they say they've never done anything
that would cause someone to want to shoot their houses.
A Mission Band home riddled with bullet holes, car windows
shot out after five shootings. The homeowner says, all in
(27:10):
the early morning hours. The same thing happened at this
home in a leaf just once on May first, but
it was enough to send the woman inside scrambling for cover.
Speaker 8 (27:19):
All the thing. You just hear the glass shuttering.
Speaker 10 (27:21):
You could see a man walking up a surveillance video firing.
What the victims says, we're about a dozen bullets into
her house and car a.
Speaker 8 (27:28):
Little bit more than half a foot next to like
where my pillow is, where leay my head. One of
the bullets went in through there.
Speaker 10 (27:36):
And just like all the other victims, she says, she
has no idea why her house was shot up. Last week,
the Harriscuty Sheriff's Office arrested nineteen year old One Galvez
and eighteen year old Hosueya Manna Guzman. Sources say a
spend cartridge in this July sixth shooting links the two
to a total of eleven shootings over a two month period,
and the mission banded a leaf Fairias. Although for now
(27:58):
the suspects are only charged in connection to one shooting.
This woman targeted twice, first at her home, then at
her brother's house while her nine year old daughter slept inside.
Speaker 8 (28:08):
Why is this happening to me?
Speaker 7 (28:11):
If I don't even know these guys, You know there's
been a nightmare, especially for my daughter.
Speaker 10 (28:15):
The suspects were originally charged with aggravated assault with a
deadly weapon, which carries up to twenty years in prison,
but prosecutors have since downgraded their charges to deadly conduct,
which comes with just half the possible sentence. Asked if
there could be more arrests and more charges, the Sheriff's
office would only say their investigation remains active.
Speaker 8 (28:36):
There could have been so many victims to all these shootings,
so much damage to people's homes too.
Speaker 10 (28:42):

Speaker 3 (28:46):
These are broken cultures that do this. It is broken
cultures of people who do this, drive around, shooting into homes,
making babies, they don't raise he's it's broken. You can
say that you shouldn't criticize it. You can do what
(29:06):
it is broken. Unrelated pivot change. We talked earlier about homeschooling.
Bert Harvey has done a lot of construction for me
over the years, says Sean. This is his son. Wants
to finish his last two years homeschool. He's worked with
me all summer, mostly on Curly's crew. They haven't given
him special treatment. He's done well. He's learning a lot,
(29:27):
he's working hard. He's working in Tell You Ride for
the next two weeks. A friend of mine got a
job installing cabinets doing millwork in school there. He needed help.
Shawn asked Sarah, that's Birch's wife, and I if he
could keep working with us and finish school online. He
doesn't want to go to college and wants to work
with us. I didn't tell him no, but I said,
we talk about it. I have mixed feelings. My last
(29:47):
grade completed was eighth. I want better for my kids,
but I also don't want him to do something that's
not best for him. I'm incredibly proud and I want
the best for him. You know what's interesting. Bert wants
He says, I want what's best for him. I don't
want him to have but Bert doesn't realize he's extremely successful.
(30:08):
He has a business that employs people, a beautiful home,
very happy family. You don't need credentials to be happy
if you've got a story like that. Call Us and
