Speaker 3 (01:11):
If you're on hold for an executive order, hang tight
will get to you. Aton Jim is a story that
is a rollercoaster of emotions. Very young doctor, you know,
young in your career, it's harder to speak out and
speak up uh, in a Karen Silkwood sort of way
as a whistleblower, because you don't have the credibility. I
(01:35):
can call out anything these days because I'm established, But
when you're starting in your career, you don't have that
capital that you can employ to defend against claims that
you know you're a bad guy, or you can get fired. Well, Aton,
Jim was at a Houston hospital where he discovered mutilation
(01:55):
of children, young children by the medical establishment, and he
worked very hard to expose this in order to end it.
Got a state law changed as a result of it,
and the thanks he got from the hospital system and
authorities was that he was prosecuted criminally. It's an awful story.
But this guy gets knocked down but gets back up again.
(02:18):
He was in front of Congress this week and my,
oh my, how this story, how it has turned and
he is the triumphant Paul Revere in the era of goodness,
and we're honored to have him on the show. Aton,
Welcome to the program.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
Sir, I thank you so much for having me. It's
great to be back on.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
So it's a very different mood than once when we
talked and I thought this poor guy he got swallowed
up in the swamp. Let's go back to give a
brief explanation of what brought you to the attempt, what
you did, and why you did it originally.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
Yeah, you know, it's really been a wild story. But yeah,
my name is Ayton him. I was a general surgery
resident at Baylor College Medicine in Houston, Texas, between twenty
eighteen twenty twenty three. One of Baylor's primary affiliate hospitals,
like its primary training hospitals, is Texas Children's, you know,
the largest children's hospital in the world. They said that
(03:20):
they were shutting down their transgender program in March twenty
twenty two. That was in response to Texas turned general
opinion a few weeks before that that said it could
constitut criminal child abuse, right, So they said they're shutting
it down, right, you know, nothing to see here. Well,
I worked there, I knew that was a lie. Over
the next couple of months after March twenty twenty two,
(03:42):
I saw that they not only continued the program but
expanded it right into a multi dispoinment clinic. It was
a hospital wide priority. So I didn't believe it for months,
but then I saw how egregious. The deception really was.
So then I blew the whistle. On May sixteen, twenty
twenty three, I was an anonymous whistleblower in the story
(04:03):
by the investigative journalist Chris Rufo, and you know, it
revealed tcch's deception. No identifiable information was released. It was
like the same de identify hospital data they released to
like news organizations about in sexious diseases. Right, So the
story comes out, gets really big. No one knows who
(04:25):
I am. The day later, Texas passes SB fourteen, right,
which banns these transgender interventions on children. So within twenty
four hours for a story coming out, what we exposed
was made illegal. And then the agent announces an investigation
in tch more whistleblowers speak out, and you know, I
just go on with my life. Right. A month later,
(04:48):
agents came to my home. It was June twenty third,
twenty twenty three, the day of my graduation from surgical training,
one of the most important days in my life. Two
armed agents with the AHHS show up and I find
out I'm being investigated by the federal government. And then
what followed after that was this you know, kind of
(05:09):
cyclone of the most corrupt prosecutors, FBI agents, the most
insane criminal prosecution of all time, where they used hippa
and instead of making it about patient privacy, right, they
made it about protecting multi billion dollar hospital systems. And
(05:31):
that's and I mean that literally because the victims in
the indictment were TCH and its physicians, no mention of patients.
And it turns out that the lead prosecutor bringing the case, right,
you couldn't throw a tennis ball at Tinan sorry, the
lead prosecutor or Thanksgiving dinner without hitting you know, a
major TCH or Baylor donor, or a former TCCH board
(05:52):
member or a CEO who has contracts with hospitals within
the Baylor TCCH academic consortium. So the person who was
criminally prosecuting me, right, sending me a prison, trying to
send me a prison for being a whistleblower, was the
same person who had the primary interest in seeing these
institutions protected, right, which is like, you know, third world
(06:16):
level corruption. You know, after we made that known, that
was in November twenty twenty four, you know, she stepped down.
But then after that, right, the DJ pursues a gag
order on me, right, because I was just criticizing the government,
and because the judge wasn't on the corruption as well,
he doesn't sign the gag order. He just threatened to
(06:38):
send me to jail. So he successfully gags me for
about a month and a half. But then after the inauguration,
you know, things really spin out of control because at
that point we were a million dollars in debt. The
DJ was accelerating the case even after Trump's executive order
ending the weaponization of the DJ, and every single day
(07:00):
that the DJ accelerated, this was another ten thousand, fifty thousand,
one hundred thousand dollars for us, So it was we
were getting desperate. So I violated the judges corrupt the
facto gag order, and then the judge just completely went insane.
This is Judge Hitner. He's based in Houston in the
Southern District. And then January twenty third, the day before
(07:23):
my case was dismissed, my attorneys were told that he
was going to send me to jail the next day
unless I sign an agreement with the government, so he
was essentially extorting me, and he was also going to
move my trial to that Monday, So you know, I
essentially held up the middle finger to him and said,
you know, then do it because I continued to speak out,
(07:44):
you know, because you know I violated his gag order.
And you know, luckily, you know, the stars kind of aligned.
Josh Holly, a bunch of people in DC kind of
you know, made sure the right things happened. And this
guy doesn't do you know, this judge doesn't you know,
send me a jail. And they were able to have
the case dismissed with prejudice. And it also helped that
(08:05):
the politically appointed a US attorney in the Southern District
in Houston was gone by that point because everyone knew
this case was corrupt. So the day, you know, the
day after I was about to go to jail hold.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
On a second case was This story has has a
happy endinge folks, a very happy in a hangk type
the term anal intercourse on your program, Michael, if it's
relevant to his story for journalistic purposes, Ayton him is,
in my opinion, up there with Karen Silkwood Paul Revere
(08:43):
as someone who became the tip of the spear to
stand up for what was right at great peril to himself.
And we'd like to think that every time you do
the right thing, a parade is held in your honor
and you were held out as a hero.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
But we know that's not true.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
The reason we say don't lightly step out there and
do that is you might get crushed.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
And he did get crushed. Let's be clear. He did
get crushed.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
And somehow out of all of that, this guy. You know,
it's amazing.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
It really is. The glories of.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
The fact that he is now testifying before Congress and
writing things like it was a real joy to get
to tell my story because most people would have turned
tail and hid and well, why do you do the
right thing? Well, this guy did the right thing, and
we should do. We cannot extol his virtues enough. There
should be a parade in his honor because he did
(09:40):
do the right thing. Ayton, all right, so catch us
up on the case from there.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
Yeah. So it's sorry that was quite a long explanation,
but it's a very convoluted, crazy story. And so really
the ultimate thing that happened was that at the last
possible moment, at the most dramatic point poss when I
was on the verge of going to jail after being
extorted by a corrupt judge in Houston. The case was
(10:08):
dismissed with prejudice so that I could never be brought again.
That was on Friday, January twenty fifth, and then that Sunday,
you know, I get a call and you know, it
was amazing Josh Holly had invited me to the President
Trump's First Day of the Union and then now yesterday
I testified so and you're correct, you know, it's like
I was being crushed. I mean, for the past two
(10:29):
years was just one continuous kind of episode of me
being crushed time after time. But I just knew I
couldn't live with myself, so I didn't fight back because
in the middle of all this, you know, my wife
and I had our first baby daughter, right it was
September twenty fifth, and like, you know, I had to
leave that after my wife had an emergency c section
(10:53):
and while she was in posed up. I had to
leave my wife and my newborn baby daughter to go
to court the next day. And it was, you know,
so painful. But it's like, you know, if I'm bringing
my child into this world, you know, it doesn't the
praise don't matter. The the you know, the praise doesn't matter.
It's like, I just have to do it because I
(11:13):
don't want to deliver her into a world where this
can happen, you know, because.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
It's as bad as I feel for you.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
If we don't do something, how can we ever, Yeah,
how can we ever deliver them into that?
Speaker 3 (11:24):
I feel bad for your wife. She had to go
through pregnancy, through all this, She's just given a baby.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
She was working, yeah, she was. She was working in
the Northern District of Texas. The prosecutor coming after me.
My wife held the same position as her, but just
in a different district. So she was working in the
DOJ every day of the week when she was like
fully pregnant and this case was going on and they
(11:52):
were trying to send me in prison for ten years.
It was totally insane. That's I mean, that's why she
had to have an emergency c section. It's because her
blood pressure was really high, right, Like we didn't expect
to go in on that day, on September twenty fifth,
you know, but it's because all this was going on.
Thank God, she's okay.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
So you have recovered, You're the better for it. If
you do have some scars to show tell me how
it felt.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Speaking before Congress.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
Man, it was amazing, and you know, especially it's like
you go through so much. You know, we're still a
million dollars in debt, you know, and if anyone's you know,
we're we still anyone can donate give sen goo dot com,
Ford slash Texas Underscore Whistleblower's We're forever grateful for it,
and we'll pay it off over time. You know, we'll
probably pay legal bills with Social Security check. But it
(12:40):
is what it is. But to be able to speak
in front of Congress yesterday was one of the greatest
things ever because especially going toe to toe with these Democrats.
You know, these people they stand up there and they lie.
They lie the most vicious way possible, because they just
repeated the allegations that were already disproven in a court
(13:02):
in the Southern District of Texas. Everything they said was
a blatant lie, and somehow they have the audacity to
stand up there and repeat it. And you know, just
to be able to look Jamie raskin a slimy like,
you know, a little goblin person, right in his dirty
little eyes and just and just make him look like
(13:24):
a fool was the single greatest thing in my entire
life other than marrying my wife and my child and
being born. So it's number three probably.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
How old are you?
Speaker 5 (13:38):
Thirty five? Man?
Speaker 2 (13:39):
You have lived a lot of life in a brief
period of time.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Yeah, if I were, you know, in good Yeah. There's
so many crazy things that have happened behind the scenes.
You know, it's I guess it's just one of those
things that when you go through something like this, it's
just the nature of it. You know, these crazy things happen.
But it's just like if you just stick with it
and just tell the truth and do the right thing
(14:04):
and treat people with respect, and you know, then things
kind of work out and you know, it's like you realize, like, yeah,
you know, we lost all this money, we lost everything
we ever had, but you know we're still healthy. You know,
we still have our family, and I mean that's the
most important thing.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
So you took on Texas Children's Hospital, you took on
the medical regulators, you took on the entirety of the government,
our court system, our everything, because you believed, I don't
want to put words in your mouth, you believed you
saw that children were being mutilated in violation of Texas law,
(14:40):
and that that was evil, right.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
In violation, and I believe this has always been illegal,
but words is in violation of divine law, of God's law. Right.
These children are created perfect, and what these doctors were
doing is destroying their bodies so that that they there
and get put down this road that they can never
come back from. And it's like what's being taken away
from them is something they can't even fathom. Because once
(15:07):
I looked into my daughter's eyes and I held her
for the first time, it's like this, I realized, that's
what life is. Right, to have a child and to
bring someone into this world is the most It's it's
you should be protected.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
He tell me, I'm going interrupt you because I have
a minute left. I want you to take a minute,
and it'll crash into the break. You told the story
about these fake they cut off these boys wieners and
they create a fake female organ and you told about
their their anus leaking into that.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
And all that goes wrong. People need to understand how
brutal this is. Tell that to the break if you would.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
Yeah. Yeah, So it's I see these pathologies when they're
like caused by cancer, right when they're obstructing the urethra
or the bladder, or you have fishalas from for example,
divertic lives. And so you have these connections formed between
different organs because that's nature of healing. And what these
quote unquote neo bugias are are just large dealing chronic wounds.
(16:06):
So the cells grow together. You know, I have patients
who they will they will urinate stool right because of
these connections. These are a not uncommon you know, you know,
a shockingly frequent complication from all these surgeries and you know,
(16:26):
to to and I know some of the people who've
undergone them, you know, uh uh you know de transitioners,
and I mean the life theyly it's just so hard.
Thank you for having me on.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
You're an American hero. To Aton, You're an American hero,
Doctor Ayton him, bring it on because there is nothing here.
The Michael Varry Show.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Scott Jennings on CNN Laying it Down, said he had
a list of executive orders he would like President Trump
to sign.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
More than fifteen seconds at the coffee creamer bar at
the coffee shop, straight to L Salvador two or more
wall side by side on a sidewalk. You're gone, El Salvador,
recline your seat on an airplane, El Salvador, Disney adults,
you're going to And finally, pronouns in your email signature
out of here.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Those are my eos as.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
The King of ding Ramone said that he would like
royal fanfare played when he enters the studio.
Speaker 2 (17:30):
You know, the.
Speaker 3 (17:30):
English get the over the top thing so well, it's
why Monty Python could only be English, because you're making fun.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
Of the over the top pomp and pageantry of English royalty.
All right, what is your executive order? Be ready?
Speaker 3 (17:47):

on your phone speaking directly in so we can hear you.
Seven one three nine one thousand, seven three nine nine
nine one thousand, Bobby writes, My executive order is no
(18:09):
unsolicited political text messages with a minimum of penalty of
five years served in a federal pound you in the
oh yeah, a prison where you yeah. I'd rather I'd
write another executive order to let the air out of
the tires of anyone who does not return their shopping
cart to the corral. Finally, one more, put the O
(18:29):
back in country music. Share all rights. I just want
to say I really look forward to Fridays. I've had
the privilege of taking care of my grandson almost every
Friday since he was born just over two years ago.
I live in Kingwood. I drive to Tomball to watch
him while my daughter and son in law are working.
Why am I telling you this because I listened to
your show on the way to and from their house,
(18:51):
and your opening song on Fridays, Oh Happy Day, always
sets the stage for the rest of my day. I'm
sure drivers in the cars around me are wondering what
I'm listening to as sing alongs way to the music
and occasionally raise a hand in the air. So thanks
for the ride along and for starting my day off
with a great song.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Have a happy day.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Day before yesterday, I was wore out yesterday. I went
to bed early last night. I'm too old for this
kind of stuff we did. In addition to traditional ZAR duties,
which takes all I've got. People don't understand I don't
do lunches because I don't eat till the evening. I
don't do dinners because by the end of a day
I'm beat. I don't want to add another thing to it.
But I agreed to give a speech in Dallas on Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
So do the show.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Fly to Dallas, hop out, get in the car, rush there,
give a speech, Rush back, fly back. So and that
night I had a dinner at my friend Gary Peterson's
home and it was a small gathering about I don't
know ten or twelve people, and it was and the
honored guest was fifty cent Curtis Jackson. And we have
been supposed to be put together since Specks tried to
(19:59):
put us together years ago, and one or the other
of us was never able to make it work. We
finally made it happen. And I have a lot of
respect for him aside from the music, forget that, because
he was the one who spoke out against Diddy and
the parties and the children and the rape and all
that was going on there, and it really put him
in peril. There were credible threats on his life that
(20:23):
were talked about from police agencies. They were trying to
kill him because this was a guy who was calling
out the other freaks in the industry, and you know
who they are. So anyway, I go in and it
was a hell of an evening because Gary Peterson, the
biggest Texas tech grad.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
You'll ever meet.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
A great guy had set this up. And I walk
in and Tillman says, Michael, come over here and sit
next to me in Curtis and so I'm sitting and
talking to him in fifty cent and it was It
was a fun conversation about people who are very good
at what they do, all wanting to talk about what
the other people do. Really interesting. People want to know
(21:03):
what you do, not what they do. And I find
that I'd rather hear somebody else talk about what they
do than what I do. I already know what I do.
But the rock star of the day is none of
those famous people. Andre Johnson was there, Paul Murphy, my
longtime banker, Russell Leybarro obviously, and the rock star of
(21:26):
the day was I get back on the Southwest Airlines
flight and I hadn't flown Southwest in ten years. And
I see now why, because I don't like not knowing
what seed I'm going to be in.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
I like certainty.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
I got you know who I am. And so you
line up by section and you know you're from one
to five here, in ten to fifteen here, and people
are so worried if their number is twelve they're so
worried that the thirteen.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Is in front of them. So they walk along and bump, Hey,
are you what your number? And so what I do
is I just go to the back of.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
My little even if I'm eleven, because I don't want
to have to do all that you're not going to
I don't.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Yeah, go go where the.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Plane's not full. When there's not gonna be a middle seat.
Every nobody wants a middle seat. So this young lady
comes up over my left should she lit'll be tiny thing,
and she starts talking, and so we chat and she
starts talking and ends up we're the last two seats
on the plane. So she's sitting in one seat. I'm
sitting in my seat. She sat next to me. I
didn't sit next to her. I'm not a creeper because
(22:28):
she's young. I'm thinking she's probably nineteen, but she's twenty five.
So I did my usual tell me something interesting about
you that nobody would ever expect, And she said, I
had a heart attack when I was nineteen. I said, okay,
you have my attention. Where did this happen? I was
a cheerleader University of Houston. We were at a game
I'm out on the field Cougar Stadium. I said, you
(22:50):
were a flyer, weren't you, because she's a little tiny
thing and she said I was. So she said, they
set me down from doing my flying, whether a Boon
DeRos or something some move get what it was, something
German or Romanian or something, and they set her down
and she said she just collapsed. And I said, well,
I would have to think that the people on the
field would have a better shot at saving you than
(23:11):
if you were.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Just you know, at the grocery store. She said, that's
what saved my life. So fast forward.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
I said, so you got the scar up the sternum
and all that, and she said yeah. I said, I
love scars.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
That's awesome.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
I wasn't asking to see the girls sternum. I don't
think I'm a weird over them, but I've had buddies
that have, Like Matt gave a speech for us last
week and I required that he show me his scar.
He thought I was kidding, and I wasn't. I like
to see scars. I think it's amazing and look, people
are able to take us apart and put us back
together and save our lives. I find that to be interesting. Anyway,
So we get to talking and just an absolutely drop
(23:45):
dead gorgeous, beautiful girl. And she travels around speaking for
the American Heart Association. That's where she had been. Although
I found out she gave a free speech and I said,
oh honey, that's not how this works. You have they
sold seed and said you are to get paid for that.
That's what you do. You need to understand that what
you're doing has value. But anyway, I was so impressed
(24:08):
with this young lady because think about this. Most people,
if they have a heart attack at nineteen years old,
what are they going to do. They're going to ball
and squall and feel sorry for themselves. She is a
personal trainer. Now, I said, does this in this ever
hurt you? Is your stern them ever hurt you? She said, yeah,
when I'm lifting too much. You know, I got a
lot of guide clients and I need to show them
how to lift, and it causes my stern them to her,
(24:30):
and I thought, man, I don't even hardly lift, and
I hadn't had twenty five years old. So fast forward.
Tell me about your parents. Her dad is head of
Customs and Border Patrol. Her mom is the CFO at
River Roads Country Club, all by way of saying, here's
this young lady that you would think, well, she's pretty
and DITSI she's not. She's genius three point nine at
u Age. The most interesting person I met that day
(24:53):
was not Tilman. It was not fifty cent, It was
not Andre Johnson, it was not Gary Peterson, it was
not Palmer. It was a twenty five year old kid
who has her head on straight, who.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Is doing amazing things.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
And you never would have noticed it unless you started asking,
unless she actually frankly, unless she tried to cut in
front of me in line. Oh her name, good question,
little Burke, because I remember it's one of those young
Chloe Burke. Chloe Burke, very very impressive on You would
have acted in appropriate because she's distractingly pretty.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
And the buddy of mine rights, Where's Waldo?
Speaker 3 (25:29):
You ever watch a movie where someone's kidnapped, tossed in
the trunk of a vehicle and driven away. They're tied
up and blindfolded, but they managed to see little bits
of their location through the bullet hole in the tail light.
They always narrate what they're seeing. Left at the burger
king over a railroad track, I hear construction, so they'll
be able to tell the hero of the movie how
to track them down and ultimately be rescued. That's what
(25:52):
I think of when you do your new segment, when
you're talking into your voice recorder about what you're passing
on the street. If you're ever in that situation, will
be well practiced.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Happy Friday. Well, you know what, I've been doing this
for years. I will record driving.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Somewhere and I'll say, you know, on the left is
this bank, and on the right is this street. And
then you know, there's a homeless guy on the corner,
and a crack head over here, and then there's a
bus stop that's you know, painted this color here, and
I'm pulling up to a standalone business in the right.
What's that standalone business? And I'll send that to friends
(26:29):
of mine and see who can get it right. And
and I guess, just because I enjoy such things, I
figure other people do too.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Uh, let's go to Lewis. Lewis, you're on the Michael
Berry Show. What's your executive order?
Speaker 4 (26:42):
My executing order would be get my son back.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
You'd see I kicked him out for no reason.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
I couldn't hear him. Let's get him on another line. Nick,
you're on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
What's yours?
Speaker 4 (27:00):
I would actually, sorry, I'm in the women Saint Joseph
in the basement, don't work. Mine would be the school
of Choice Bouchers, I think would be my first executive order.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
And what would that be? You would want kids to
be able to choose where they go to school? I would, yes,
you know, there's a there's an interest.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
I think, sorry, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
No, No, you're good, you're up.
Speaker 5 (27:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
So I was trying to flesh it out a little
bit and like, what are the downsides that I could
see with it? And the biggest downside that I came
up with would be all the giant gools that we
wouldn't need anymore, So it'd be like a real estate
problem or a repurposing problem, or a demolition problem or something,
because you know, by default, then schools are going to
(27:45):
have less children, which is way better. That's one of
the only downfalls that I saw with it thinking through it.
And then also that schools would get too full, so
you would have which would be good and bad. It
would be competition, obviously, but then there would be clusified
kids that get bumped out, but you know, such as life.
But yeah, O all, that's a really positive thing.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
You've hit on an issue that I've really fleshed out
or fleshed out some deep seated thinking on this. There
are a lot of people that are against school vouchers
that are not really against the vouchers. So, for instance,
if you've got a school that has no crime problem,
no violence problem, no thugs going there, those parents are
(28:26):
scared to death that you're going to have inner city
kids want to move to their school.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
They won't, but that's their fear.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
They go, well, I'd rather suffer through what we're suffering
through than having the wrong kids come into here. I'm
going to tell you I never had this problem, and
I made sure we didn't have this problem.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
But not everybody has this option.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
If you have ever had a kid, or been the
kid to go to a school where there's knives and
thuggery and violence and intimidation and the school can't protect you.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
At least in prison, you got prison guards.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
There are schools across the country where you've got kids
going to that school who are afraid for their lives
every single day. That is a God's honest truth. And
that shouldn't that should never happen. This is worse than
third world standards. And by the way, we have truancy
(29:22):
laws in state of Texas. You have to go to school.
There is no option, and nobody cares about that parent.
We you know, you will hear the glamorized version of
all these different these different people. Nobody cares about the
kid who's going to a war zone. And I'll tell
you this, Democrats don't care about it. And if he's black,
they do not give a damn poor black kid going
(29:44):
to a poor black school trying to make something of himself.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Uh huh, they don't.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
You just put your black ass in that black school
with all the black crime. We don't care. You go
right back there. We're not letting you out, Sheila Jackson Lee,
all of them. They will insist that you are not
not letting the kid out of that school. You're not
letting them go to a better school. So then you
start talking about standards, Well, what if we had if
you got some schools that are oversubscribed, Well, what if
(30:11):
you had a competition. What if you said in order
to get into that school, you would have to score
well on an exam. Well, people who've been losers their
whole lives and never score well on exams will go
that's not fair.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Not fair.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Well, how else are you going to decide who gets in?
Currently we say you live where your school is. I'm
good with that.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
You live where your school is, and you should be
zoned to where your school is.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
But if you want out of that school, you should
have that option. We could run schools for pennies on
the dollar what we currently run them on, because schools
are not about educational institutions anymore. They're an opportunity for
Democrat operatives. And that's all it is. It's who staffs
all those things. It's an opportunity for democrat operatives to
(30:57):
get contractions. You've got so many of these minority controlled
businesses where they get the maintenance, they get the cleaning,
they get the roof, they get the windows. That's what
HISD was. You have a lot of businesses that do
not compete in the private sector. They only do government work.
(31:19):
If you see a firm that does maintenance, janitorial, any
of these things for only governmental entities, I'm going to
tell you right now, they've got a minority person who
is the official owner. They've given equity to, maybe a woman.
Maybe it's a due to put his woman in charge
of it and getting when they're only doing government work.
(31:42):
I'm telling you they are not the best in the business.
They are not lean efficient businesses. They are highly highly
connected businesses who happen to provide X Y service and
that's that's how those businesses run. They are one hundred
percent about who you know. They are the biggest political contributors,
(32:05):
they're the biggest schmoozers. They're the biggest, but they're not
the best at what they do. You see some firm
out there that does not have a single government contract
that has to sell to the public.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
They can't afford that.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
They've got to hunt and grind. They've got to deliver
a good product. They've got to do things that the
governmental entity providers. So there tend to be one or
the other. You either only do government work or you
do no government work. And if you do no government work,
it's because you can't get the government work because they
keep it very very tight knit. We'll see what Whitmyer
(32:42):
does on the concessions at the airport. Because you remember
Sylvester took Papas out because Papas wouldn't pay to play. Remember,
they kept having to rescore it because Papas kept kept
performing the best on the best food product food delivery
at the airport. So Sylvester would just pull the place
and started over. And they caught them lying in the
(33:02):
middle of all that thing, and we'll so he kicked
Papus out of there so he could put his people
in there. Because you've got certain people down at the
City of Houston who've been around for a long time,
like that troll, Cindy Clifford, and she she's always kind
of hovering in the middle of President mayor ol administrations,
(33:23):
and she's an advisor for a dollar a year.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Well, I don't tell you. She ain't eating on a
dollar a year. You can look at her and tell that.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
And then you find out, oh, she's in on this
contract over here, and oh she got these people this
contract over here. And so you've got all these insiders
with food contracts and they're not even in the food business.
And you've got all these people getting different contracts. You've
got a public art installation, and you've got all these
people making millions of dollars off tax dollars because Cindy
Clifford brought them into the deer. Because she's the she's
(33:49):
the dollar a year, she's the advisor for women's issues.
I'm not even sure she anyway. I've insulted enough people today,
but somebody needs to do it. You wouldn't believe the
emails I get.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
I can't believe you called that out. Well, somebody needs
to
Speaker 5 (34:09):
M hm
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and loads.
Speaker 2 (00:11):

They ever catch that gorilla would escape from the zoo

Speaker 3 (01:11):
If you're on hold for an executive order, hang tight
will get to you. Aton Jim is a story that
is a rollercoaster of emotions. Very young doctor, you know,
young in your career, it's harder to speak out and
speak up uh, in a Karen Silkwood sort of way
as a whistleblower, because you don't have the credibility. I
(01:35):
can call out anything these days because I'm established, But
when you're starting in your career, you don't have that
capital that you can employ to defend against claims that
you know you're a bad guy, or you can get fired. Well, Aton,
Jim was at a Houston hospital where he discovered mutilation
(01:55):
of children, young children by the medical establishment, and he
worked very hard to expose this in order to end it.
Got a state law changed as a result of it,
and the thanks he got from the hospital system and
authorities was that he was prosecuted criminally. It's an awful story.
But this guy gets knocked down but gets back up again.
(02:18):
He was in front of Congress this week and my,
oh my, how this story, how it has turned and
he is the triumphant Paul Revere in the era of goodness,
and we're honored to have him on the show. Aton,
Welcome to the program.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
Sir, I thank you so much for having me. It's
great to be back on.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
So it's a very different mood than once when we
talked and I thought this poor guy he got swallowed
up in the swamp. Let's go back to give a
brief explanation of what brought you to the attempt, what
you did, and why you did it originally.
Speaker 5 (02:57):
Yeah, you know, it's really been a wild story. But yeah,
my name is Ayton him. I was a general surgery
resident at Baylor College Medicine in Houston, Texas, between twenty
eighteen twenty twenty three. One of Baylor's primary affiliate hospitals,
like its primary training hospitals, is Texas Children's, you know,
the largest children's hospital in the world. They said that
(03:20):
they were shutting down their transgender program in March twenty
twenty two. That was in response to Texas turned general
opinion a few weeks before that that said it could
constitut criminal child abuse, right, So they said they're shutting
it down, right, you know, nothing to see here. Well,
I worked there, I knew that was a lie. Over
the next couple of months after March twenty twenty two,
(03:42):
I saw that they not only continued the program but
expanded it right into a multi dispoinment clinic. It was
a hospital wide priority. So I didn't believe it for months,
but then I saw how egregious. The deception really was.
So then I blew the whistle. On May sixteen, twenty
twenty three, I was an anonymous whistleblower in the story
(04:03):
by the investigative journalist Chris Rufo, and you know, it
revealed tcch's deception. No identifiable information was released. It was
like the same de identify hospital data they released to
like news organizations about in sexious diseases. Right, So the
story comes out, gets really big. No one knows who
(04:25):
I am. The day later, Texas passes SB fourteen, right,
which banns these transgender interventions on children. So within twenty
four hours for a story coming out, what we exposed
was made illegal. And then the agent announces an investigation
in tch more whistleblowers speak out, and you know, I
just go on with my life. Right. A month later,
(04:48):
agents came to my home. It was June twenty third,
twenty twenty three, the day of my graduation from surgical training,
one of the most important days in my life. Two
armed agents with the AHHS show up and I find
out I'm being investigated by the federal government. And then
what followed after that was this you know, kind of
(05:09):
cyclone of the most corrupt prosecutors, FBI agents, the most
insane criminal prosecution of all time, where they used hippa
and instead of making it about patient privacy, right, they
made it about protecting multi billion dollar hospital systems. And
(05:31):
that's and I mean that literally because the victims in
the indictment were TCH and its physicians, no mention of patients.
And it turns out that the lead prosecutor bringing the case, right,
you couldn't throw a tennis ball at Tinan sorry, the
lead prosecutor or Thanksgiving dinner without hitting you know, a
major TCH or Baylor donor, or a former TCCH board
(05:52):
member or a CEO who has contracts with hospitals within
the Baylor TCCH academic consortium. So the person who was
criminally prosecuting me, right, sending me a prison, trying to
send me a prison for being a whistleblower, was the
same person who had the primary interest in seeing these
institutions protected, right, which is like, you know, third world
(06:16):
level corruption. You know, after we made that known, that
was in November twenty twenty four, you know, she stepped down.
But then after that, right, the DJ pursues a gag
order on me, right, because I was just criticizing the government,
and because the judge wasn't on the corruption as well,
he doesn't sign the gag order. He just threatened to
(06:38):
send me to jail. So he successfully gags me for
about a month and a half. But then after the inauguration,
you know, things really spin out of control because at
that point we were a million dollars in debt. The
DJ was accelerating the case even after Trump's executive order
ending the weaponization of the DJ, and every single day
(07:00):
that the DJ accelerated, this was another ten thousand, fifty thousand,
one hundred thousand dollars for us, So it was we
were getting desperate. So I violated the judges corrupt the
facto gag order, and then the judge just completely went insane.
This is Judge Hitner. He's based in Houston in the
Southern District. And then January twenty third, the day before
(07:23):
my case was dismissed, my attorneys were told that he
was going to send me to jail the next day
unless I sign an agreement with the government, so he
was essentially extorting me, and he was also going to
move my trial to that Monday, So you know, I
essentially held up the middle finger to him and said,
you know, then do it because I continued to speak out,
(07:44):
you know, because you know I violated his gag order.
And you know, luckily, you know, the stars kind of aligned.
Josh Holly, a bunch of people in DC kind of
you know, made sure the right things happened. And this
guy doesn't do you know, this judge doesn't you know,
send me a jail. And they were able to have
the case dismissed with prejudice. And it also helped that
(08:05):
the politically appointed a US attorney in the Southern District
in Houston was gone by that point because everyone knew
this case was corrupt. So the day, you know, the
day after I was about to go to jail hold.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
On a second case was This story has has a
happy endinge folks, a very happy in a hangk type
the term anal intercourse on your program, Michael, if it's
relevant to his story for journalistic purposes, Ayton him is,
in my opinion, up there with Karen Silkwood Paul Revere
(08:43):
as someone who became the tip of the spear to
stand up for what was right at great peril to himself.
And we'd like to think that every time you do
the right thing, a parade is held in your honor
and you were held out as a hero.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
But we know that's not true.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
The reason we say don't lightly step out there and
do that is you might get crushed.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
And he did get crushed. Let's be clear. He did
get crushed.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
And somehow out of all of that, this guy. You know,
it's amazing.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
It really is. The glories of.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
The fact that he is now testifying before Congress and
writing things like it was a real joy to get
to tell my story because most people would have turned
tail and hid and well, why do you do the
right thing? Well, this guy did the right thing, and
we should do. We cannot extol his virtues enough. There
should be a parade in his honor because he did
(09:40):
do the right thing. Ayton, all right, so catch us
up on the case from there.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
Yeah. So it's sorry that was quite a long explanation,
but it's a very convoluted, crazy story. And so really
the ultimate thing that happened was that at the last
possible moment, at the most dramatic point poss when I
was on the verge of going to jail after being
extorted by a corrupt judge in Houston. The case was
(10:08):
dismissed with prejudice so that I could never be brought again.
That was on Friday, January twenty fifth, and then that Sunday,
you know, I get a call and you know, it
was amazing Josh Holly had invited me to the President
Trump's First Day of the Union and then now yesterday
I testified so and you're correct, you know, it's like
I was being crushed. I mean, for the past two
(10:29):
years was just one continuous kind of episode of me
being crushed time after time. But I just knew I
couldn't live with myself, so I didn't fight back because
in the middle of all this, you know, my wife
and I had our first baby daughter, right it was
September twenty fifth, and like, you know, I had to
leave that after my wife had an emergency c section
(10:53):
and while she was in posed up. I had to
leave my wife and my newborn baby daughter to go
to court the next day. And it was, you know,
so painful. But it's like, you know, if I'm bringing
my child into this world, you know, it doesn't the
praise don't matter. The the you know, the praise doesn't matter.
It's like, I just have to do it because I
(11:13):
don't want to deliver her into a world where this
can happen, you know, because.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
It's as bad as I feel for you.
Speaker 5 (11:20):
If we don't do something, how can we ever, Yeah,
how can we ever deliver them into that?
Speaker 3 (11:24):
I feel bad for your wife. She had to go
through pregnancy, through all this, She's just given a baby.
Speaker 5 (11:30):
She was working, yeah, she was. She was working in
the Northern District of Texas. The prosecutor coming after me.
My wife held the same position as her, but just
in a different district. So she was working in the
DOJ every day of the week when she was like
fully pregnant and this case was going on and they
(11:52):
were trying to send me in prison for ten years.
It was totally insane. That's I mean, that's why she
had to have an emergency c section. It's because her
blood pressure was really high, right, Like we didn't expect
to go in on that day, on September twenty fifth,
you know, but it's because all this was going on.
Thank God, she's okay.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
So you have recovered, You're the better for it. If
you do have some scars to show tell me how
it felt.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
Speaking before Congress.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
Man, it was amazing, and you know, especially it's like
you go through so much. You know, we're still a
million dollars in debt, you know, and if anyone's you know,
we're we still anyone can donate give sen goo dot com,
Ford slash Texas Underscore Whistleblower's We're forever grateful for it,
and we'll pay it off over time. You know, we'll
probably pay legal bills with Social Security check. But it
(12:40):
is what it is. But to be able to speak
in front of Congress yesterday was one of the greatest
things ever because especially going toe to toe with these Democrats.
You know, these people they stand up there and they lie.
They lie the most vicious way possible, because they just
repeated the allegations that were already disproven in a court
(13:02):
in the Southern District of Texas. Everything they said was
a blatant lie, and somehow they have the audacity to
stand up there and repeat it. And you know, just
to be able to look Jamie raskin a slimy like,
you know, a little goblin person, right in his dirty
little eyes and just and just make him look like
(13:24):
a fool was the single greatest thing in my entire
life other than marrying my wife and my child and
being born. So it's number three probably.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
How old are you?
Speaker 5 (13:38):
Thirty five? Man?
Speaker 2 (13:39):
You have lived a lot of life in a brief
period of time.
Speaker 5 (13:43):
Yeah, if I were, you know, in good Yeah. There's
so many crazy things that have happened behind the scenes.
You know, it's I guess it's just one of those
things that when you go through something like this, it's
just the nature of it. You know, these crazy things happen.
But it's just like if you just stick with it
and just tell the truth and do the right thing
(14:04):
and treat people with respect, and you know, then things
kind of work out and you know, it's like you realize, like, yeah,
you know, we lost all this money, we lost everything
we ever had, but you know we're still healthy. You know,
we still have our family, and I mean that's the
most important thing.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
So you took on Texas Children's Hospital, you took on
the medical regulators, you took on the entirety of the government,
our court system, our everything, because you believed, I don't
want to put words in your mouth, you believed you
saw that children were being mutilated in violation of Texas law,
(14:40):
and that that was evil, right.
Speaker 5 (14:44):
In violation, and I believe this has always been illegal,
but words is in violation of divine law, of God's law. Right.
These children are created perfect, and what these doctors were
doing is destroying their bodies so that that they there
and get put down this road that they can never
come back from. And it's like what's being taken away
from them is something they can't even fathom. Because once
(15:07):
I looked into my daughter's eyes and I held her
for the first time, it's like this, I realized, that's
what life is. Right, to have a child and to
bring someone into this world is the most It's it's
you should be protected.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
He tell me, I'm going interrupt you because I have
a minute left. I want you to take a minute,
and it'll crash into the break. You told the story
about these fake they cut off these boys wieners and
they create a fake female organ and you told about
their their anus leaking into that.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
And all that goes wrong. People need to understand how
brutal this is. Tell that to the break if you would.
Speaker 5 (15:45):
Yeah. Yeah, So it's I see these pathologies when they're
like caused by cancer, right when they're obstructing the urethra
or the bladder, or you have fishalas from for example,
divertic lives. And so you have these connections formed between
different organs because that's nature of healing. And what these
quote unquote neo bugias are are just large dealing chronic wounds.
(16:06):
So the cells grow together. You know, I have patients
who they will they will urinate stool right because of
these connections. These are a not uncommon you know, you know,
a shockingly frequent complication from all these surgeries and you know,
(16:26):
to to and I know some of the people who've
undergone them, you know, uh uh you know de transitioners,
and I mean the life theyly it's just so hard.
Thank you for having me on.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
You're an American hero. To Aton, You're an American hero,
Doctor Ayton him, bring it on because there is nothing here.
The Michael Varry Show.
Speaker 3 (16:46):

to sign.

to say I really look forward to Fridays. I've had
the privilege of taking care of my grandson almost every
Friday since he was born just over two years ago.
I live in Kingwood. I drive to Tomball to watch
him while my daughter and son in law are working.
Why am I telling you this because I listened to
your show on the way to and from their house,
(18:51):
and your opening song on Fridays, Oh Happy Day, always
sets the stage for the rest of my day. I'm
sure drivers in the cars around me are wondering what
I'm listening to as sing alongs way to the music
and occasionally raise a hand in the air. So thanks
for the ride along and for starting my day off
with a great song.
Speaker 2 (19:08):
Have a happy day.
Speaker 3 (19:11):
Day before yesterday, I was wore out yesterday. I went
to bed early last night. I'm too old for this
kind of stuff we did. In addition to traditional ZAR duties,
which takes all I've got. People don't understand I don't
do lunches because I don't eat till the evening. I
don't do dinners because by the end of a day
I'm beat. I don't want to add another thing to it.
But I agreed to give a speech in Dallas on Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (19:35):
So do the show.
Speaker 3 (19:36):
Fly to Dallas, hop out, get in the car, rush there,
give a speech, Rush back, fly back. So and that
night I had a dinner at my friend Gary Peterson's
home and it was a small gathering about I don't
know ten or twelve people, and it was and the
honored guest was fifty cent Curtis Jackson. And we have
been supposed to be put together since Specks tried to
(19:59):
put us together years ago, and one or the other
of us was never able to make it work. We
finally made it happen. And I have a lot of
respect for him aside from the music, forget that, because
he was the one who spoke out against Diddy and
the parties and the children and the rape and all
that was going on there, and it really put him
in peril. There were credible threats on his life that
(20:23):
were talked about from police agencies. They were trying to
kill him because this was a guy who was calling
out the other freaks in the industry, and you know
who they are. So anyway, I go in and it
was a hell of an evening because Gary Peterson, the
biggest Texas tech grad.
Speaker 2 (20:41):
You'll ever meet.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
A great guy had set this up. And I walk
in and Tillman says, Michael, come over here and sit
next to me in Curtis and so I'm sitting and
talking to him in fifty cent and it was It
was a fun conversation about people who are very good
at what they do, all wanting to talk about what
the other people do. Really interesting. People want to know
(21:03):
what you do, not what they do. And I find
that I'd rather hear somebody else talk about what they
do than what I do. I already know what I do.
But the rock star of the day is none of
those famous people. Andre Johnson was there, Paul Murphy, my
longtime banker, Russell Leybarro obviously, and the rock star of
(21:26):
the day was I get back on the Southwest Airlines
flight and I hadn't flown Southwest in ten years. And
I see now why, because I don't like not knowing
what seed I'm going to be in.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
I like certainty.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
I got you know who I am. And so you
line up by section and you know you're from one
to five here, in ten to fifteen here, and people
are so worried if their number is twelve they're so
worried that the thirteen.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Is in front of them. So they walk along and bump, Hey,
are you what your number? And so what I do
is I just go to the back of.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
My little even if I'm eleven, because I don't want
to have to do all that you're not going to
I don't.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
Yeah, go go where the.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
Plane's not full. When there's not gonna be a middle seat.
Every nobody wants a middle seat. So this young lady
comes up over my left should she lit'll be tiny thing,
and she starts talking, and so we chat and she
starts talking and ends up we're the last two seats
on the plane. So she's sitting in one seat. I'm
sitting in my seat. She sat next to me. I
didn't sit next to her. I'm not a creeper because
(22:28):
she's young. I'm thinking she's probably nineteen, but she's twenty five.
So I did my usual tell me something interesting about
you that nobody would ever expect, And she said, I
had a heart attack when I was nineteen. I said, okay,
you have my attention. Where did this happen? I was
a cheerleader University of Houston. We were at a game
I'm out on the field Cougar Stadium. I said, you
(22:50):
were a flyer, weren't you, because she's a little tiny
thing and she said I was. So she said, they
set me down from doing my flying, whether a Boon
DeRos or something some move get what it was, something
German or Romanian or something, and they set her down
and she said she just collapsed. And I said, well,
I would have to think that the people on the
field would have a better shot at saving you than
(23:11):
if you were.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Just you know, at the grocery store. She said, that's
what saved my life. So fast forward.
Speaker 3 (23:16):
I said, so you got the scar up the sternum
and all that, and she said yeah. I said, I
love scars.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
That's awesome.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
I wasn't asking to see the girls sternum. I don't
think I'm a weird over them, but I've had buddies
that have, Like Matt gave a speech for us last
week and I required that he show me his scar.
He thought I was kidding, and I wasn't. I like
to see scars. I think it's amazing and look, people
are able to take us apart and put us back
together and save our lives. I find that to be interesting. Anyway,
So we get to talking and just an absolutely drop
(23:45):
dead gorgeous, beautiful girl. And she travels around speaking for
the American Heart Association. That's where she had been. Although
I found out she gave a free speech and I said,
oh honey, that's not how this works. You have they
sold seed and said you are to get paid for that.
That's what you do. You need to understand that what
you're doing has value. But anyway, I was so impressed
(24:08):
with this young lady because think about this. Most people,
if they have a heart attack at nineteen years old,
what are they going to do. They're going to ball
and squall and feel sorry for themselves. She is a
personal trainer. Now, I said, does this in this ever
hurt you? Is your stern them ever hurt you? She said, yeah,
when I'm lifting too much. You know, I got a
lot of guide clients and I need to show them
how to lift, and it causes my stern them to her,
(24:30):
and I thought, man, I don't even hardly lift, and
I hadn't had twenty five years old. So fast forward.
Tell me about your parents. Her dad is head of
Customs and Border Patrol. Her mom is the CFO at
River Roads Country Club, all by way of saying, here's
this young lady that you would think, well, she's pretty
and DITSI she's not. She's genius three point nine at
u Age. The most interesting person I met that day
(24:53):
was not Tilman. It was not fifty cent, It was
not Andre Johnson, it was not Gary Peterson, it was
not Palmer. It was a twenty five year old kid
who has her head on straight, who.
Speaker 2 (25:02):
Is doing amazing things.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
And you never would have noticed it unless you started asking,
unless she actually frankly, unless she tried to cut in
front of me in line. Oh her name, good question,
little Burke, because I remember it's one of those young
Chloe Burke. Chloe Burke, very very impressive on You would
have acted in appropriate because she's distractingly pretty.
Speaker 2 (25:27):
And the buddy of mine rights, Where's Waldo?
Speaker 3 (25:29):
You ever watch a movie where someone's kidnapped, tossed in
the trunk of a vehicle and driven away. They're tied
up and blindfolded, but they managed to see little bits
of their location through the bullet hole in the tail light.
They always narrate what they're seeing. Left at the burger
king over a railroad track, I hear construction, so they'll
be able to tell the hero of the movie how
to track them down and ultimately be rescued. That's what
(25:52):
I think of when you do your new segment, when
you're talking into your voice recorder about what you're passing
on the street. If you're ever in that situation, will
be well practiced.
Speaker 2 (26:01):
Happy Friday. Well, you know what, I've been doing this
for years. I will record driving.
Speaker 3 (26:08):
Somewhere and I'll say, you know, on the left is
this bank, and on the right is this street. And
then you know, there's a homeless guy on the corner,
and a crack head over here, and then there's a
bus stop that's you know, painted this color here, and
I'm pulling up to a standalone business in the right.
What's that standalone business? And I'll send that to friends
(26:29):
of mine and see who can get it right. And
and I guess, just because I enjoy such things, I
figure other people do too.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Uh, let's go to Lewis. Lewis, you're on the Michael
Berry Show. What's your executive order?
Speaker 4 (26:42):
My executing order would be get my son back.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
You'd see I kicked him out for no reason.
Speaker 3 (26:52):
I couldn't hear him. Let's get him on another line. Nick,
you're on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
What's yours?
Speaker 4 (27:00):
I would actually, sorry, I'm in the women Saint Joseph
in the basement, don't work. Mine would be the school
of Choice Bouchers, I think would be my first executive order.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
And what would that be? You would want kids to
be able to choose where they go to school? I would, yes,
you know, there's a there's an interest.
Speaker 4 (27:18):
I think, sorry, go ahead.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
No, No, you're good, you're up.
Speaker 5 (27:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (27:24):
So I was trying to flesh it out a little
bit and like, what are the downsides that I could
see with it? And the biggest downside that I came
up with would be all the giant gools that we
wouldn't need anymore, So it'd be like a real estate
problem or a repurposing problem, or a demolition problem or something,
because you know, by default, then schools are going to
(27:45):
have less children, which is way better. That's one of
the only downfalls that I saw with it thinking through it.
And then also that schools would get too full, so
you would have which would be good and bad. It
would be competition, obviously, but then there would be clusified
kids that get bumped out, but you know, such as life.
But yeah, O all, that's a really positive thing.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
You've hit on an issue that I've really fleshed out
or fleshed out some deep seated thinking on this. There
are a lot of people that are against school vouchers
that are not really against the vouchers. So, for instance,
if you've got a school that has no crime problem,
no violence problem, no thugs going there, those parents are
(28:26):
scared to death that you're going to have inner city
kids want to move to their school.
Speaker 2 (28:31):
They won't, but that's their fear.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
They go, well, I'd rather suffer through what we're suffering
through than having the wrong kids come into here. I'm
going to tell you I never had this problem, and
I made sure we didn't have this problem.
Speaker 2 (28:43):
But not everybody has this option.
Speaker 3 (28:45):
If you have ever had a kid, or been the
kid to go to a school where there's knives and
thuggery and violence and intimidation and the school can't protect you.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
At least in prison, you got prison guards.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
There are schools across the country where you've got kids
going to that school who are afraid for their lives
every single day. That is a God's honest truth. And
that shouldn't that should never happen. This is worse than
third world standards. And by the way, we have truancy
(29:22):
laws in state of Texas. You have to go to school.
There is no option, and nobody cares about that parent.
We you know, you will hear the glamorized version of
all these different these different people. Nobody cares about the
kid who's going to a war zone. And I'll tell
you this, Democrats don't care about it. And if he's black,
they do not give a damn poor black kid going
(29:44):
to a poor black school trying to make something of himself.
Speaker 2 (29:47):
Uh huh, they don't.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
You just put your black ass in that black school
with all the black crime. We don't care. You go
right back there. We're not letting you out, Sheila Jackson Lee,
all of them. They will insist that you are not
not letting the kid out of that school. You're not
letting them go to a better school. So then you
start talking about standards, Well, what if we had if
you got some schools that are oversubscribed, Well, what if
(30:11):
you had a competition. What if you said in order
to get into that school, you would have to score
well on an exam. Well, people who've been losers their
whole lives and never score well on exams will go
that's not fair.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
Not fair.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
Well, how else are you going to decide who gets in?
Currently we say you live where your school is. I'm
good with that.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
You live where your school is, and you should be
zoned to where your school is.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
But if you want out of that school, you should
have that option. We could run schools for pennies on
the dollar what we currently run them on, because schools
are not about educational institutions anymore. They're an opportunity for
Democrat operatives. And that's all it is. It's who staffs
all those things. It's an opportunity for democrat operatives to
(30:57):
get contractions. You've got so many of these minority controlled
businesses where they get the maintenance, they get the cleaning,
they get the roof, they get the windows. That's what
HISD was. You have a lot of businesses that do
not compete in the private sector. They only do government work.
(31:19):
If you see a firm that does maintenance, janitorial, any
of these things for only governmental entities, I'm going to
tell you right now, they've got a minority person who
is the official owner. They've given equity to, maybe a woman.
Maybe it's a due to put his woman in charge
of it and getting when they're only doing government work.
(31:42):
I'm telling you they are not the best in the business.
They are not lean efficient businesses. They are highly highly
connected businesses who happen to provide X Y service and
that's that's how those businesses run. They are one hundred
percent about who you know. They are the biggest political contributors,
(32:05):
they're the biggest schmoozers. They're the biggest, but they're not
the best at what they do. You see some firm
out there that does not have a single government contract
that has to sell to the public.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
They can't afford that.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
They've got to hunt and grind. They've got to deliver
a good product. They've got to do things that the
governmental entity providers. So there tend to be one or
the other. You either only do government work or you
do no government work. And if you do no government work,
it's because you can't get the government work because they
keep it very very tight knit. We'll see what Whitmyer
(32:42):
does on the concessions at the airport. Because you remember
Sylvester took Papas out because Papas wouldn't pay to play. Remember,
they kept having to rescore it because Papas kept kept
performing the best on the best food product food delivery
at the airport. So Sylvester would just pull the place
and started over. And they caught them lying in the
(33:02):
middle of all that thing, and we'll so he kicked
Papus out of there so he could put his people
in there. Because you've got certain people down at the
City of Houston who've been around for a long time,
like that troll, Cindy Clifford, and she she's always kind
of hovering in the middle of President mayor ol administrations,
(33:23):
and she's an advisor for a dollar a year.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
Well, I don't tell you. She ain't eating on a
dollar a year. You can look at her and tell that.
Speaker 3 (33:29):
And then you find out, oh, she's in on this
contract over here, and oh she got these people this
contract over here. And so you've got all these insiders
with food contracts and they're not even in the food business.
And you've got all these people getting different contracts. You've
got a public art installation, and you've got all these
people making millions of dollars off tax dollars because Cindy
Clifford brought them into the deer. Because she's the she's
(33:49):
the dollar a year, she's the advisor for women's issues.
I'm not even sure she anyway. I've insulted enough people today,
but somebody needs to do it. You wouldn't believe the
emails I get.
Speaker 2 (34:02):
I can't believe you called that out. Well, somebody needs
to
