Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. So
Michael Verie Show is on the air.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Well, as you know, every two years the Texas State
Legislature is in session.

Speaker 1 (00:42):
It is in even number of years if the state
reps are.

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Elected, and it is in odd years after those elections,
months after those elections that the Legislature begins a one
hundred and fifty day session. We have just concluded that.
We've spoken to Luke Massias about that. We've spoken to
the publisher of Texas Scorecard, Michael quinn Sullivan yesterday about that,

(01:09):
and now we speak to Brandon Waltons, also with Texas Scorecard,
who was live on the scene for the entirety of
the session and had a lot to say about it. Brandon,
let me start with the question that bothers me most.
Why on earth did they not tackle property taxes? It's
the issue I hear more complaints about than anything else.

(01:31):
It's what particularly the base but all Texans want fixed.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
Well, it's one of those issues that should be a
no brainer, right because I mean, I don't care if
you're a Republican or a Democrat. All of these candidates
and most of the people who are in office in
both parties campaign on some level of property tax relief.
And so you know, the state once again faces a
massive surplus. I think it was twenty four billion dollars
this by any last time they were there, I think

(01:59):
it was thirty fourth five billion dollars. So this massive
part of money, this is, this is easy. This is
without even having to you know, haven't forbid cut anything
or move anything. You've got this surplus money that's been
over collected from taxpayers. A lot of people looked at
that and said, okay, well that's easy, let's send this back.
And they're sending some of it back. It's to the
tune of about you know, six to seven billion dollars

(02:20):
depending on how you count it. And this is ultimately
I mean, the problem is, as we know, is that, uh,
this is kind of a you know, band aid on
a bullet hole here, because property taxes are continuing to rise.
When we've seen them try to do this in the past,
property taxes have risen for for many people, or maybe
they go down a little bit one year, but then

(02:41):
they're right back up just in two or three years.
It's not enough, But at the same time, I think
it's disheartening. This is this is what frustrates people about
the process, is that while they're seeing this happen, they're
seeing with their own eyes their property tax bills. We
of course see you know, a lot of a lot
of representatives and senators and frankly even the state wide

(03:01):
officials out there celebrating this amount of property tax relief,
you know, as a major win. And you know, at
a certain point, people are going to see their property
tax bills and you know a lot of them are
going to be frustrated because, you know, Texas continues to
have one of the highest burdens of any state in
the country.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
Brandon Walton's Texas scorecard dot com.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
You know as well as I do, that the Republican
Party in Texas, in the Texas Legislature is not conservative
on fiscal issues, and it is certainly not conservative on
fiscal issues as it relates to schools. And the reason is,
and this was explained to me by a lobbyist twenty
five years ago, that in rural districts, in many cases,

(03:45):
the most powerful interest is the school district. There's no industry, there,
there's no there are no jobs other than the school.
I will tell you the community. I grew up in Orangefield, Texas.
The only industry of notes, the only business of real
note was the school district, and it had more employees,
and every one of those employees is married to someone.

(04:07):
And so that happens throughout the state, throughout West Texas,
parts of East Texas, the Panhandle, and in parts of
South Texas. And even the Republican state reps will not
do anything to touch the sacred cow that is bloated
school districts with massive sports stadiums, with brand new buildings,
and boy, they can tell the story it's for the children.

Speaker 1 (04:28):
But at the end of the.

Speaker 2 (04:29):
Day, taxpayers are fed up. They're frustrated. And Brandon, I
don't know how much you know about Galveston, Texas. I
think this is I think this is ground zero for
what's happening. People were buying second homes in Galveston from Houston,
and now they're trying to unload them because the taxes
have gotten so high and the airbnb market has become flooded,
and the market it's a buyer's market, is what they're calling.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
But what it really is the devaluation of the properties.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
And I think that's going to continue apace, and it's
unfortunate to watch.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
But taxes are a big part of that.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
Absolutely, and you know, you're exactly right. You actually you
can break down by legislative district and see that in
most of the districts that you know are represented in
the Texas House and most of them, the biggest employer
are the school districts themselves. I mean, think about you've
got districts, you know, especially when you consider some of
these more rural districts you know out in you know,

(05:23):
West Texas where they're representing you know, twelve twenty twenty
four counties. I mean, these massive districts. That's a lot
of school board members. That's a lot of school board president, superintendent's, principal, teachers,
you know, you name it. And so you know, at
the same time, while we're giving you know, six and
a half billion dollars in new property tax relief, schools

(05:45):
have been super charged now with an additional eight billion
dollars in additional school funding. That's on top of the
about I think you know, ninety billion dollars some on
that we allocate in state budget for education already. That's
sort of funny when you think about the pushback that
we of course soudering the session from teachers unions and

(06:05):
the left and some of those folks to the school
choice proposal, and that was signed to law. And whatever
you think about school choice, we were talking about a
one billion dollar program on one billion dollars. When we
spend nearly one hundred billion dollars on public education, every
bidem as.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
It is, and it goes up and up, and the
great frustration, and this is what has always bothered me.
You cannot have race relations discussions without being called a racist.
You cannot have a discussion about public education in this
country without someone saying you don't love the kids or

(06:43):
the teachers, and that is the most absurd thing ever.
You cannot question how we spend our defense money, which
grows and has a great deal of waste in it.
You don't love the troops and you want us to
be defeated in a war. That's what weak minded people do,
and it's what really really diabolical smart people do, because

(07:03):
neither one of them wants to have the discussion and
get into the details. Because when you get granular on
those details, and Brandon, you follow this year after year
and you start seeing the bloated mid mid management. You
start seeing the massive TODJ Mahal buildings and you start
seeing these sorts of things, Well, fine, let the users
pay for those, but for every taxpayer to pay these

(07:26):
massive property taxes, the largest part of it going to
the school districts when many of them don't have kids
there or their kids have phased out. I just think
I think it's one of those things that's going to
end up biting Republicans at some point, and they're not prepared.
This should be an issue on which Republicans should be leading.

(07:47):
Brandon Walton's with Texas scorecard dot Com. I want to
get into the himp discussion ramon how much time we
have left my cot it Okay, I want to get
into Dan Patrick's crazy hip build that is sitting on
Greg Avis' desk that by pocket detail. If he doesn't
sign by June twenty second, it becomes law automatically.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Why on earth he did this?

Speaker 2 (08:07):
I'ming a bizarre of talk radio the Michael Barry Show.

Speaker 1 (08:15):
Brandon Waltons is our guest. He is a daily writer
on all things.

Speaker 2 (08:22):
Texas politics for Texas scorecard dot Com. I think they
do a wonderful job. If you think the Chronicle is
terrible at what they do, you have to support an alternative,
and Texas Scorecard is a very good alternative to the Chronicle.
I think it's a much more fair balanced approach to

(08:42):
political commentary. Brandon Walton's our guest, Brandon, I will read
to you something that I posted two days ago from
Fabrizio Lee and associates who are posters who've done a
lot of work for President Trump, and it says that
a new poll out of Republican voters only. So let's

(09:03):
say we get our closed primary next year that Rachel Palmer,
Hooper In, Abraham George and everyone has been working so
hard to get so that we will only have Republicans
voting in the Republican primary, so the Democrats can't do
what they've tried to do in the past. Forty four
to thirty one percent margin opposing the bill being signed

(09:25):
by Abbott, So opposing the bill, and then you've got
among voters aware of the ban, fifty seven percent report
being less favorable toward the legislature well, while only six
percent view.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
It more favorably.

Speaker 2 (09:41):
A nearly ten to one negative ratio against this bill
your thoughts. I don't know what your personal thoughts are.
You may like the bill, I don't know, But your
thoughts on why dan Patrick did.

Speaker 3 (09:52):
This, well, you know, this is interesting. I mean, it's
an issue. I don't think we've seen a step back.
I don't think we've seen since Governor Abbitt at least
have taken office a decade ago. I don't think we've
seen this much uncertainty over whether or not he's going
to sign or veto a bill. I don't think we've
ever seen something like this, And frankly, it sounds like

(10:13):
a cop out, but I feel like fifty to fifty
at this point, he's got a couple of days to
decide what he's going to do. I think someday is
the deadline for vetoing or signing bills. This is something
that Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick, though, came out pretty early
in the session, maybe even a little bit beforehand, and
said that, you know, alongside school choice, this was going

(10:34):
to be his top priority, that this was actually the
only issue he said during the session that he would actually,
you know, essentially force a special session to pass.

Speaker 1 (10:45):
If need be.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
And so it's you know, I'm not sure exactly what
motivated it. I mean, if you take him at his word,
he's brought in law enforcement officers and different people who
have shared stories talking about how they see these products
as dangerous and bad. And obviously there's you know, another
side to that as well. I won't get into the

(11:07):
you know, kind of my thoughts on it, but you know,
that's why he says is motivating this, and but I
don't think we've ever seen I mean, this really sets
up I think if we do see the governor veto this,
which like I said, I think is very possible, it's
probably you know, fifty to fifty at this point, that's
going to be a very public risk between Governor Abbot
and Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick. And you know that that's

(11:31):
something that I don't think we've seen either since both
of them came into office at the same time.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
It's an interesting point, you know, I think he as
you know, I think you would concur I certainly believe
Greg Abbott wants to be president. I wouldn't support him,
but he wants to be president, and he has his
eye on twenty twenty eight and he is doing the
things he thinks are necessary to get to twenty twenty eight.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
That's the school vouchers. We'll get there in a moment.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
But I think this puts him in a precarious situation
that he didn't have to be in. And the reason
was this was not an issue anybody was clamoring for.
I've never had anyone email me on this issue. The
Republican Party put together a list of I think it
was eight priorities to begin the session.

Speaker 1 (12:20):
This wasn't on there. There are no.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
Republican Party gatherings that I've ever heard of that the
grassroots were saying what we ought to do is outlaw
the outlaw him and these sorts of treatments. That's what
we really ought to do before we do property taxes
and all these other things. I never heard anybody say this.
This came out of nowhere. And I am not an

(12:44):
Alan Blakemore fan. I think he's a crook, if you
want the truth, I think he's an absolute crook. And
I think his involvement with Dan Patrick is a black
eye on Dan Patrick's legacy, which has been as a
pretty darn good lieutenant governor. Then you've got his former
chief of staff that's been hired by the liquor industry.
And look, I love those liquor industry gaps. They always
supported me politically. I know all of them. I like

(13:07):
all of them. They're great Republicans, They're great for the
state of Texas. But I think this is a setback
and I think it cost us elections. And I think
I think what Greg Abbott is calculating, which is the
only thing he cares about, is having to run nationwide
as looking like Ayatola Homeni, you know, as a you know,
one of these guys who is so socially conservative he

(13:28):
restricts personal lives. Because my listeners and this actually surprises me.
My listeners, without regard to whether they are users, feel
that this is a type of social conservatism from the
fifties that cost US elections with young people. That's a
lot for you to answer to, Brandon, I'm not even
sure questioning all of that.

Speaker 3 (13:49):
Well, and it's interesting that this this, you know, Florida
had a similar it was a little different, but there
was some similar legislation in Florida recently, and I think
Florida got run to Santas Vito that and so yeah,
if if Governor Abbot wants to do that there's certainly precedent, right,
he wouldn't be the first Republican governor to do that.

(14:12):
You know, we'll see. It's interesting in Texas that we
have you know, the governor can can sign it or
or or not sign it. If he doesn't sign it,
it becomes law. So you know, maybe that's what he does, right,
he just doesn't sign it becomes law. He kind of
avoid some of the attention. I don't know that. I
don't know that he'd be able to avoid attention on
this one. No matter what he does. If he wants

(14:35):
to veto it, he's got until Sunday.

Speaker 2 (14:38):
Right, and then, as I understand it, it's a pocket
veto in Texas where if he doesn't sign it, it
becomes law without him having signed.

Speaker 3 (14:46):
Yeah, sort of the yeah, sort of the opposite of
the way it works in DC.

Speaker 1 (14:49):
Yeah, Right.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
And I think what's interesting about that is, uh, that's
sort of consistent with Greg Abbott in that he doesn't
ever want to cause a rift unless the polls tell
him ninety five percent of the people are for something,
and then he'll hold a parade for it. I think
it's going to be interesting to see how he handles this,
but I don't think there is any upside to him

(15:11):
for the fact that this bill is on his desk
right now. No upside at all the people who I
think there are very few people for it.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
The polls.

Speaker 2 (15:18):
I mean, if you say it's fifty to fifty, that's fine,
But amongst Republicans, polling has it in the minority. And
my guess is Democrats would even be more so because
they tend to be less socially conservative. I think you
can go so far in what you perceive to be
social conservatism that you get too far to the right

(15:40):
of where most of your party is, and you lose people.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
They don't like this.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
They see this as a Republican party they don't want
to be a part of, and that's not something we
need in a state turning increasingly purple with Soro's money
coming at us. Brandon Waltons, you do a great job
with Texas scorecard dot com. I read your stuff every
time you post it. Put up please you, Douc King
of Ding and this other guy, Michael Barry will we

(16:13):

Speaker 1 (17:11):
Look at this.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
I got this on my toolbox in my garage. Oh
you mean where nobody.

Speaker 1 (17:17):
Will see it?

Speaker 2 (17:19):
The great that's that's that's not the point. But hey,
that's a compliment, you know what, that you would want
us on your stuff. A man believed to be an
illegal alien hunts down his girlfriend at a restaurant off
Willcrest and Beltway eight where she works, murders her by
stabbing her repeatedly. The bond is initially set at three

(17:41):
hundred and fifty thousand dollars, but then he goes before
Democrat judge who loves criminals. Chris Morton is bastard, and
he says three fifty, Oh, that's too much.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
That means he'd have to.

Speaker 2 (17:53):
Pay thirty five thousand to get out of jail and
go out and kill somebody else. Let's knock it down
to fifty so he only has to pay five. The
man admitted to the popo that he murdered his wife.
He didn't pull a trigger. He stabbed her and stabbed
her and stabbed her. This is where we need Kelly
Siegler to do. The stabbed her and stabbed her and
stabbed her and stabbed her and stabbed her. He also

(18:16):
told detectives that he placed a tracker on her car
and a listening device.

Speaker 1 (18:21):
In her bedroom.

Speaker 2 (18:22):
This dude is an old fashioned stalker in the purest
sense of the world word. This is as premeditated as
it gets.

Speaker 1 (18:31):
Now. This story we're about to play is after.

Speaker 2 (18:34):
His initial court appearance before appearing before Judge Chris Morton,
who would end up reducing it. So just understand the
context of that. ABC thirteen with the story you are charged.

Speaker 1 (18:46):
Star with a first degree felony named the murder Santos.

Speaker 4 (18:49):
Hernandez Cornejo stood in court last night, twenty four hours
removed from the violent scene at an a Leaf area restaurant.

Speaker 3 (18:58):
A calculated effort to take the life of this complaining.

Speaker 4 (19:02):
Witness, a judge calling the crime calculated. According to quote records,
the fifty three year old may have known he could
find the victim at work. It was around eleven thirty
Saturday night when Houston police said the fifty year old victim,
identified in quote records as Rhelia Diez Maya, was stabbed
to death. The suspect first confronted her with a knife

(19:23):
behind the Burnon Shell restaurant on Wilcrest, where she worked
as a dishwasher, a coworker told ABC thirteen, and then
chased her inside, where police say he stabbed her to death.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
Afterward, he took off from the scene.

Speaker 4 (19:37):
The knife eventually recovered in a field, according to HBD.
Hernandez Cornejo arrested after calling police on himself.

Speaker 3 (19:45):
Mark client contacted law enforcement to turn himself at additionally,
and was taken into custy without incident.

Speaker 4 (19:53):
The public defender hoping to use that piece of information
to his client's benefit during his first appearance, but records
say he told police much more, admitting to placing a
tracking device on the victim's car and a listening device
in her bedroom because he thought she was cheating on
him and to.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
State is her question that the bell will be set
in an amount of three hundred thousand dollars.

Speaker 4 (20:14):
The prosecutor asked for a three hundred thousand dollars bond,
but the judge went even higher.

Speaker 2 (20:18):
The amount of three hundred and fifty thousand is a
reasonable bail under these circumstances.

Speaker 4 (20:25):
For the man who quote tracked, stalked, chased, and stabbed
the victim. Hernandez Cornejo told the court he's a Salvador
and at national and he remains in jail with an
immigration hold.

Speaker 2 (20:38):
So that judge and I don't know who that was.
Sounds like a black guy, but I don't. I'd like
to find out who that judge.

Speaker 1 (20:42):
Was, Who?

Speaker 2 (20:43):
Who who ordered a three hundred and fifty thousand dollars bond.
That's lower than i'd like to see. He just murdered
this woman, stabbing her repeatedly, but three fifty certainly a
hell of a lot higher than the fifty thousand that
Chris Morton gave. What these Democrat judges that keep letting
the murderers back out, I'm gonna tell you something.

Speaker 1 (21:05):
You are going to think I'm the most monstrous human
being ever.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
I'm going to warn you right now, when one of
their relatives gets murdered by an illegal alien or a thug,
I am going to go down and demand a PR bond,
release that guy, and give them that person's address in
case they want to do some more. That's how strongly
I feel about this, and I really don't care if
people think I'm awful for saying it, because I believe

(21:31):
this strongly about it.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
These people are monsters. They're just monsters.

Speaker 2 (21:35):
So I read a story that the Papas family is
bringing back the Yaya Mary's concept, and this makes me
very happy. There was a Yaya Mary's right next to
our old studio, which our studio was at two thousand
west Loop, which is basically west Loop and Sam Philippy
and we were the third building in if you consider

(21:58):
ya Yah Mary's to be the building on the corner,
which was the south west corner on the west side
of six'. Ten that location was a great, location is
a beautiful. BUILDING i think they had renovated the. BUILDING
i don't think they built. It they built it ground.
Up but WHAT i loved about this and WHAT i

(22:20):
hated about them having to close, it is it was
a tribute to their, grandmother which For, GREEKS i understand
the term yaya is there abuelita or.

Speaker 1 (22:30):
Nanny or grandma or mamma or me mar or whatever.

Else AND i loved the concept of paying tribute to your.
Grandmother there was a picture of her out, front kind
of like a A Ninpha mama ninfa. Picture there was
a picture of her on the, logo AND i just
loved the fact That chris And harris had paid tribute
to their grandmother with the food they grew up. TO
i think it was the location that didn't work and

(22:55):
not the food, itself because the food was, fantastic AND
i think there is a huge market for WHAT i consider, clean, fresh,
light healthy but Delicious greek food like That island grill
would be another great example of. FOOD i call it,

(23:15):
clean and by, CLEAN i don't mean that it's not.
Dirty WHAT i mean is food without, sauces because. Sauces,
LOOK i grew up on The louisiana. Border we had
sauces on. Everything we had roots and all. That but
that sort of grilled meats and light, bread that's just.
