Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time time, time, time, Luck and load. The
Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
This is of.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Chief also checks another box when it comes to inclusivity
and diversity and this department. She's a proud member of
the LGBTQ community.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
That just kind of opens the door of people that thought, Oh,
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Even know that that was an opportunity for me. Nobody
gets infany. I am super inspired now.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
She took time out of her already busy schedule to
tell us about her vision for the department's future, one
that includes a three year strategic plan to increase diversity.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
People ask me, what number are you looking for us,
I'm looking for a number is never enough.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Out of thirty three hundred city firefighters, only one hundred
and fifteen are women. Right now, she's already looking at
ways to change that. She's quick to point out that
doing so has a greater purpose attracting the best and
brightest for the job.
Speaker 6 (01:08):
They feel included, they feel valued, and they feel part
of a cohesive team. You might recall a new story
from last year. There was some interest in the fire
departments and the firefighters in California, and the interest was
whether there were too many white men who were firefighters,
and we need to have a program in California to
make sure we don't have enough white man as firefighters.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
Well, you can slug this segment a trans terror. The
man arrested for trying to break into our vice president's
house in Cincinnati goes by the name Julia now and
is the son of wealthy Democrat donors.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
You see this again and again.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
William Defour, twenty six, was arrested early Monday after Popo
say he shattered four windows at the Vice President's home.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Family were not in.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Ohio at the time, Thank god. The four has been
recently going by the name Julia. Defour's father, also named William,
is a prominent pediatric urologist in Cincinnati and works as
a professor at the University of Cincinnati's College of Medicine.
(02:22):
So daddy looks at kids wieners all day and the
kid has a wiener problem. Okay, there's something Freudian going
on here. Dad's a pediatric urologist. He looks at little
kid's reproductive organs all day and sexual organs, and the
(02:43):
kid doesn't want to have a wiener, wants to be
a girl.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
If the dad was a wilder.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
I wouldn't suggest there's anything Freudian here, but the fact
that that's what he does makes me wonder.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
It just makes me wonder.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
The father donated thousands to Kamala Harris's failed presidential campaign
just a few months ago. He is also a longtime
Democratic supporter he donated He donated about five thousand dollars
to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in their respective campaigns
(03:23):
in twenty and twenty twenty four. The New York Post
reports the alleged vandal has a tricky mental health history,
including a twenty twenty four sentence for two counts of
vandalism at a local interior design company. Instead of a
standard conviction, the four was sentenced to two years of
(03:44):
mandatory mental health treatment, which is still ongoing, according to
court documents obtained. So this guy is in the middle
of mental health treatments when he commits this pretty serious
crime trying to break into the home of JD Vance
and his family and go Paul Pelosi on him. So
(04:07):
how well is the treatment going? I saw something Matt
Walsh posted the other day. Some guy said, you need
to go for mental health treatment. You need to go
for therapy. He said, therapy is for women by women.
It's a very feminine thing. Sitting around telling another woman
all of your problems and all of your feelings and
(04:28):
paying her for it. That's what therapy is. The whole
nation is on therapy. People need to get a dog
or something. They just need somebody to listen to their problems.
In April of twenty twenty three to four was charged
with trespassing at the UC Health Psychiatric and Emergency Services.
He was originally held on a ten thousand dollars bond,
(04:50):
but a judge determined he was not mentally competent to
stand trial and the counts were dismissed in November eighth
filing that year. So he's charged with these crimes, and
judge says, no, no, no, we can't charge him right now.
He's crazy. Let's wait around a few months and see
if he's still crazy. Oh, we forgot to check and
see if he's still crazy.
Speaker 7 (05:08):
Let him go.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
He's charged with obstructing official business, criminal damaging or endangering,
criminal trespass, vandalism, and more. His first court appearance is
scheduled for Tuesday. Every time I see one of these stories,
where some transgender dude. I can't help but think about
Phil Hartman's character. May he rest in peace fromm Phil Hartman,
(05:30):
complete genius, just genius. Speaking of crazy women, his character
in So I married an axe murderer. You remember Hartman
was the former prison guard turned tour guide at Alcatraz.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
My name is John Johnson, but everyone here calls me Vicky.
Will you please follow me?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
So you have Vicky telling the story of machine gun Kelly.
I don't remember.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
The story is good? You like Hartman's delivery full disclosure.
I'm trusting Ramona on this one. This is his movie choice.
Go ahead, close it up, Close it up.
Speaker 8 (06:10):
Clows it up.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Now, this is something the other tour GUIDs will tell you.
In this particular cell block, machine Gun Kelly had what
we call in the prison system a bitch, and one night,
in a jealous rage, Kelly took a makeshift knife or shift.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
And cut out the bitch's eyes.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
And, as if this wasn't enough retribution for Kelly, the
next day he and four other inmates took turns into
the bitch's ocular cavityes this way to the cafeteria.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
I want my country back, and you should want your
country back, and you should be mindful that nobody stole
your country.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
We gave it away. We gave it away.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
Because when the teacher at the school started misbehaving, we
didn't want the fight she did, but we didn't. When
the Democrats started making law changes, when the pastor of
your church started freaking out, acting different, doing different things,
saying things that you didn't believe in, we didn't speak up.
(07:27):
We politely took it on the chin, and the Overton
window just kept changing. That space within which we have
discussions went from should we raise the taxes by two
percent or drop them by two percent? Two we're cutting
off kids wieners, and you're going to lose your child
(07:47):
because you don't agree to it. That was each incremental bit.
It was the boiling of the frog. You've got to
draw your lines in the sand. You've got to be
ready for the fight. You've got to be willing to fight.
You've got to be willing to be ostracized, lose your job, canceled,
whatever it takes. Since we're on the subject of the
(08:10):
crazy trans issues, Trump made some really funny comments yesterday
regarding trans weightlifters. The man has some amazing comedic timing.
He really does his timing. He's a lot funnier than
people realize. And it was funny.
Speaker 7 (08:29):
You know the.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
Tranny weightlifters have to weigh in on their thoughts, right.
Speaker 9 (08:34):
Welcome back to NPR. After comments made by Donald Trump
regarding trans weightlifters, reaction was swift and loud. Today we
hear from someone personally affected, Sue.
Speaker 7 (08:47):
When I heard the imitation, I was shaken, not physically emotionally,
physically I was fine. I squatted four or five right after.
And how did that make you feel? Hold William I
felt misrepresented. On the other my core has never been stronger.
Pain is temporary, outrage is renewable. Some say it was
just a joke, a joke to you, but to me,
(09:10):
it was a setback, played add another play, just a process.
Speaker 9 (09:13):
It was powerful.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Thank you.
Speaker 7 (09:15):
I'll be back at the gym, currying emotional labor into
leg day.
Speaker 9 (09:20):
A reminder words matter, but apparently soda gains.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
This morning, I had a I don't call them interviews.
I don't wanting the concept of interviews. An interview strikes
me as something. You know, if you're going for a job,
you're interviewed. I like a discussion. I want our show
to be a place that you feel comfortable hanging out
for a long period of time. I do dinner parties
at my house or like last night I had, including Ramon,
(10:07):
a bunch of friends.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
We sat out at the fire. We smoked cigars, and we.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
Talked about things, our careers, our marriages, our kids, our challenges,
our own childhoods, politics, you name it. And it's a
much more relaxed way to have a conversation and figure
things out, and there doesn't have to be a conclusion
to everything. But I got an email. I got an
email from a fellow in Pennsylvania, and he was really
(10:34):
really appreciative of the fact that I had commented on
Walmart greets and how I thought it was such a
brilliant concept, and how people love to make jokes about it.
But I think it's a really sweet concept. And we're
not going to replay the entirety.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Of the interview because we had him for a while.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
But I got so many responses from people who heard
the show live or who have listened to the podcast
since this morning this afternoon that I wanted to just
give you a couple of highlights of that interview. He's
in a wheelchair. He can only use his left hand.
But I just the word sweet sounds less masculine than
probably usual. But it was a sweet interview and it
(11:09):
kind of inspired me. Jason Poncher Trained was the aforementioned
person who emailed us who had experienced as a Walmart
greeter and appreciated our respect and appreciation for them.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
And we do we do. Jason. Welcome to the program,
Sir Hi Michael. So how long did you work at Walmart?
About two years? Okay? And what occasioned you applying to Walmart?
Speaker 5 (11:32):
Did you go there as a greeter or did you
go there just looking for a job.
Speaker 8 (11:37):
I just went there looking for a job, but because
of my cereubral palsy and the electric wheelchair that I use, it.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Just worked out mess that I be a greeter. Are
you full time in an electric wheelchair?
Speaker 8 (11:49):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (11:49):
What brand?
Speaker 8 (11:51):
What brand would be?
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Quickie to Q seven hundred? What year?
Speaker 10 (11:56):
Model?
Speaker 1 (11:57):
And horsepower of a wheelchair?
Speaker 8 (12:00):
Well with an honor, these things can fly. Well.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
I would want to know if I'm getting a wheelchair
that I'm not getting, you know, the toilet to tersell
of wheelchairs. I want something I want with the Hennessy model.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
There you go.
Speaker 9 (12:14):
We can raise sometime.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
So does cerebral palsy? Help me understand, because I mean
I just know of it. I can't tell you much
about it. Are you able to walk at all?
Speaker 9 (12:24):
Ever?
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Or not at all? My body is very gnarled? Okay,
and tell me exactly what happens there.
Speaker 8 (12:33):
Well. I was born nine weeks premature in nineteen seventy four,
and without oxygen the brain dies and so I stopped
breathing as an incense and the damage was done, you know.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
Okay, So help me understand how the lack of oxygen
manifests itself in the condition you have.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Do you know? You may not know.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
I'm just curious. Usually people know there can nditions inside
and out.
Speaker 8 (13:02):
Well, cerebraro palsy is a neurological condition, so it's a
very wide ranging condition. So for example, if you see
somebody who walks with kind of a clumsy walk and
can't speak so well, that could be a cerebral palsy
or someone like me. I can talk just fine, but
(13:23):
I can't walk at all, and my body is really stiff.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
You know, have you never walked? That's correct, I have
never walked.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
Oh wow, okay, yeah, so growing up, I'm assuming an
electric wheelchair was not an option.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
That's correct.
Speaker 8 (13:39):
I did not get an electric wheelchair until I was fifteen.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Yeah, y, all right?
Speaker 5 (13:45):
And then so what is your upper body dexterity?
Speaker 8 (13:50):
And I have good use I should say, better use
of my arms, no use of my legs. I am
left hand in my right hand can't do a whole lot.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
But yeah, but you can fully function using the remote
control in your hand.
Speaker 11 (14:12):
Yes.
Speaker 8 (14:12):
So I'm holding the cell phone in my left hand
right now.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
I could not hold it in my right hand. If
that if that helps it at all? Yeah, it does.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
So did you know they had kind of a special
affinity for disabled folks that were more you had a
shot to get in the greeter's position because I'm guessing
you just don't apply to some jobs.
Speaker 11 (14:30):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
Okay, all right, So you go in and you know
their receptive to this, and did they give you any
special training?
Speaker 12 (14:39):
Uh?
Speaker 8 (14:40):
Just to look see. Another part of the job was
asset protection, basically making sure that shoplifting does not happen.
So I just kind of look around and see what's
going on and check receipts and so forth and you.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Didn't like ram somebody if they tried to run. Oh no, no, no, no, no,
that'd be cool.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
All What was the reaction of people when you walked
in and they saw someone in a wheelchair with such
a cheerful countenance.
Speaker 8 (15:09):
Oh, it was just great to build relationships and learn
people's stories. I mean, the regulars would come in and
whether or not we knew one another's names, it was like,
you know, we recognize one another. We built that rapport
of that camaraderie. You know, it was great, wonderful, great experience.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
It's interesting you say that, Jason, because I believe that
little moments like that, chance encounters, random acts of kindness.
I think that's what grounds us and keeps us going.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Honing a small.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
Business is tough. Talk about this all the time. Small
business owners are fascinating creatures. Because there's there's a there's
a movie called like six Feet from Greatness or three
feet from you know, talking about no it's not thirty
feet yeah about the backup singers.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Is it thirty feet? Okay?
Speaker 5 (16:01):
Well, it's just amazing because over the years, you know,
RCC gave me this experience where there's the rock star
lead singer that you know, books are written about, they're
interviewed wherever they are. People are like, oh my god,
that twenty feet from stardom, and people are literally melting
(16:22):
because this person is two tables over. Now, if the
lead guitarist or the drummer is there, people have no idea,
nor when they're told, do they really care other than
to ask that person about the famous person. And yet
(16:43):
that secondary person is the is the one on stage
helping make the music.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
They're part of all this.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
They have the same experiences within reason, and yet you don't,
we don't think of it that way, right, Well, it's
interesting to me that in the course of a day,
I drive past some guy who's digging a ditch. Not
I mean not really, nobody digs ditches anymore, but you
(17:12):
get that idea and you know, there's your ditch digger.
Or I go into a restaurant and there's a guy
back there in the kitchen, not the celebrated chef, you know,
not Matt Brice coming out in his chef jacket and
everybody hopes he'll come to their table and bless them.
I mean the guy who's in the back, who's the cook,
(17:35):
And I go into kitchens, because I like to go
into kitchens. You're out there having a nice time. You've
got real nice music, you know, that's being piped in
a hopefully at just the right level, and it's very calm,
and the sounds and the clinking of the glass, and
(17:57):
the waiter comes over, and you know, if it's the
right kind of restaurant, they should be tending to your needs.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
What would you like? How can we make you happy?
Speaker 5 (18:07):
Oh?
Speaker 11 (18:07):
With that?
Speaker 5 (18:07):
Is that not to your liking? What else could we do?
Could I refiel this?
Speaker 1 (18:12):
You horse? You finish the trough water? Would you like
some more?
Speaker 11 (18:16):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (18:17):
The restroom? Okay, you'd like to move somebody? Okay, that's
down here? And can we do this? And can I
take your jacket?
Speaker 1 (18:23):
And all that?
Speaker 5 (18:24):
And so here we are, and we're having this wonderful experience,
and even the waiter is kind of in on the
experience because he's getting to enjoy the air conditioning, which
by historical standard, is in and of itself a big deal. Right,
So he's going through all this and he's dressed nice
in your dress nice, and somewhere about thirty forty fifty
feet away as part of this whole process is the
(18:47):
person who took the raw materials in that awful heat
pit of a kitchen. He's got burns up and down
his arms, and he's making the food that is at
the root of all this. And so there's like these
concentric circles. We live on the same planet, we live
(19:09):
in the same city. We may occupy the same space
in the restaurant, but the patron may go home to
a twenty thousand dollars mansion and butlers and drivers, and
he may the next morning get up and be taken
to his private plane, and the waiter somewhere in between,
(19:31):
he's he's over here, and he's in his little apartment,
and he's maybe gonna if he makes a little extra money,
and now he's gonna go get hammered and get a tattoo.
And then you got the guy in the back who's cooking.
And the concentric circle is they're all under the same
roof of the same restaurant at the same time. But
it's a very different life in a very different moment,
(19:52):
and we don't think about that. You know, you drive
past a bus stop. Most people that are at the
bus stop are not there to conserve energy. They're there
because they can't afford a vehicle. And if you can't
afford a vehicle in the United States in twenty twenty six,
things are rough right, and yet here we are to say,
you know, hey, how you doing your way going in
and out of the grocery store or whatever else.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
I think about this all the time. Well, when you walk.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
Into a small business, we view it as well, I'm
going in to buy a couple of items and I'm
going to leave that space. He's got to keep it clean,
he's got to keep it safe. You're the nice guy
coming in. You're not the Democrat coming in trying to
rip him off, threatning him, sue him. If everybody could
run a small business, they would. It is not easy.
(20:37):
But you know who must be killing.
Speaker 9 (20:39):
It right now?
Speaker 1 (20:41):
I'm gonna call them when we hang up.
Speaker 5 (20:43):
Flag shop owners, Cromberg's flag shop, Cromberg's flags and flagpoles,
all of them. You got protesters changing sides all the time.
You got Palestinian flags one day, then you got Ukraine.
People can't find Ukraine on the map. Now it's Viva Venezuela.
That's the new one. That's what they're doing now. I mean,
(21:04):
you think about all this? How do these people keep
up if you go to their house? Do they just
have random discarded like old discard like used two? People
have discarded concert shirts, you know, the Ramones, the Kinks
seventy eight, the Sex Pistols World Tour. Do people just
(21:25):
have like what became of Ukraine? Did Ukraine just doesn't
matter anymore? Honestly I think about these things. Does nobody
care about Ukraine anymore? Did the Palestinians just go away?
What happened to the transgenders? We were all gonna die
if the transgenders weren't happy? And now whatever, whatever became
(21:47):
of the transgenders. I toured Cromberg's flags and flagpoles recently
and they got flags from countries I didn't know existed,
honest to goodness, and I pride myself on knowing flags.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
But you got to figure. You gotta figure.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
Flag shop owners right now have to be loving protesters.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
So thank you for joining us on Action News.
Speaker 13 (22:09):
At six, we continue our feature on local small businesses.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Tonight. We introduce you to Simply Sensational.
Speaker 13 (22:16):
Flags and their owner, Elmer Clutterbuck, who says political protesters
provide most of his business, but he can never be
certain which flag is gonna fly, so simply sensational flag
to the family business.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
My fifth started thinks back in.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Seventy seven, they wanted to sell and I said that's silly.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
So here I am.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Year ago, we were big into sports flag Seahawks, dealers,
Saint Spurs, they were big.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Fellared for us.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Then the protesters became sisational. Boy are they passionate little fuckers.
Problem is you never know who they're gonna support. Palestine
flags were fizzling for a while, then we had a
pivot to Ukraine. We can thank Secretary Soothing for that one.
Now it's been with whaling.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Flags selling like hotcakes.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Of course I can always count on the rainbow flags
being a big seller. Those really set sail in June.
Now we make all of our flags non cotton. That
would simply be racist. Our clientele will not go for that.
I can promise you one thing. As long as we
have protesters, we're gonna have pistons because those guys are
(23:30):
something else. Oh and I'd be remiss if I didn't
tell you this.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
We're expanding.
Speaker 13 (23:36):
Take a look at our new as item that's flying
off the shelves.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Candles.
Speaker 9 (23:41):
Are you ready for it, sanctuary sentiment.
Speaker 13 (23:44):
These are gonna dominate the Democratic candlelight digitals.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
Here smells like six seven food ramon You knowes cargo
is snails? Do you know one of the French eats snails?
They hate fast food?
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Lifeless eyes, black eyes like a dolls.
Speaker 14 (24:17):
You o I n s.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Let's kick it.
Speaker 14 (24:22):
Nice nice all right, stop collaborate and listen. Ice is
back with a brand new intention. Deeport aliens daily. Put
them in a catapult, watch them fly away. We won't
ever stop. Hell No. Only word to Spanish that we
know is audios to the extreme. Kick him out, thanks
(24:43):

best up minor infractions. If you resist in the contraction,
we love it. You're leaving, Horman, don't blame you. Better
hit the road, Jack Colbrand, you are a problem Trump.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Just so.
Speaker 14 (25:00):
The border in the door that's revolving nice Nice tom
overis my same Tom Owens nice domain John Owens.
Speaker 1 (25:19):

Speaker 1 (25:35):
I've been here for you.
Speaker 14 (25:38):

coming and the Free I'm falling here my phone.
Speaker 9 (25:51):
Back, Nice my Sam tom over, nice naming.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
I always imagine you realize there was a guy who
conceived the idea, I'm gonna get me.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Anna get me a.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
Ice agent officer costume. Oh that'd be cool. Yeah, you know,
I'll uh, I'll ask people for their ID. Tell some
women they they can either go to they can either
get deported or come home with me and have sex.
(26:39):
Can make the dudes give me money. I'd be cool.
I'm gonna do it. I you know what I'm gonna
do it. I always say I'm gonna do stuff and
I don't follow through. This time, I'm gonna do it
and make my parents proud. And then he ordered something.
I mean, think of the layers. This isn't a decide
(26:59):
to do it in five minutes later, you're asking for IDs, right,
and then you know you get up. You figure you
probably take a shower before you go do the ice
agent thing. You comb your hair real good, clip your nails, shave. Yeah,
it's always a dude. Do you ever notice that it's
(27:20):
always a dude? And then and then what you get
in your car and you're like, Okay, this is the day,
this is the day I'm going to do it. Here
I go, watch me, now hold my be or here
I go, I'm the Ice agent. And then you figure
first time he does it, if he doesn't get caught
the first time, he does it one hundred times before
(27:41):
he's caught because he gets better.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
And the people you're arresting are detaining, they're not really
in a.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
Position to tell you to stop. Another fake ICE agent arrest,
this time in Galveston. The guy who confronted him tells ABC,
I noticed his gear and his outfit. It looked like
it just came in from TIMU. It wasn't like what
real cops wear. ABC thirteen with the story, it looked.
Speaker 12 (28:10):
Like a late night traffic stop. To the people behind
the camera, immediately felt wrong.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
What the hell did we just see?
Speaker 12 (28:18):
Robert Harvey and Bruce Revman are self described community activists
to patrol Galison County streets and regularly record police incidents.
Nearly two months ago that came upon what they thought
was one near Gallison strand.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
He was doing everything a normal police officer does. He
had people's ID in their hand. He was shining his
flashlight at these people in the face.
Speaker 12 (28:39):
However, Harvey says he quickly realized something wasn't right.
Speaker 10 (28:44):
I noticed his gear in his outfit. It looked like
it just came in from TIMU. It wasn't like real
cops where Harvey says. There wasn't a police cruiser either.
In the video, Harvey tried to get information.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
What's your name in.
Speaker 12 (28:56):
Vashnermery don't have to get Harvey asked to see a Eventually,
he says one was shown.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
You see it.
Speaker 12 (29:04):
He just hit me in the face. Moments later, the
man took off in a blue vehicle. Harvey says they
tracked down officers around the corner. I felt like this
guy needed to be snitched on. That is very dangerous
what he was doing.
Speaker 10 (29:15):
You know, we don't like bad cops, but somebody pretending
to be.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
A bad cop is worse than a bad cop.
Speaker 12 (29:20):
Galbson. Police said the incident sparked an investigation. Days ago,
officers arrested Joshua Warner. Officers say witnesses told them Warner
pretended to be an ICE agent right now. Warner faces
a two counts of impersonating law enforcement, but Gabison detectives
believe there may be more victims. That's why they put
his information in photo out to social media and asked
anyone who may have been unlawfully detained by Warner to
(29:42):
contact police.
Speaker 10 (29:43):
After I shared the video, stories came in from everywhere.
People were emailing. I probably got one hundred emails, one
hundred messages on messenger people.
Speaker 12 (29:51):
Harvey says he encouraged to contact police like he did
after seeing this. Who the hill is if you're shining
the flashlight in his space right now? Now, it's warn
behind bars where he's being held on a half a
million dollar bond.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Very happy that they arrested him and got that dangerous
guy off the street before somebody got hurt.
Speaker 5 (30:11):
Maybe he thinks it's kind of like a volunteer firefighter,
you know, volunteer firefighter.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
He's not a full time firefighter.
Speaker 5 (30:20):
He's not a professional firefighter, but everybody respects and admires him.
Or maybe he thinks to him. So, you know, we
got so many illegals. We don't have enough ICE agents.
I'm tired of watching the news I'm going to do
my part. I'm just going to start figuring out who's
(30:43):
here illegal and.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Who can stay. That's going to be my that's going
to be my contribution to this whole thing. I'm going
to uh morel must leaves up and get involved.
Speaker 5 (31:02):
Michael Reagan, the eldest son of President Reagan, has passed
away at the age of eighty. He was adopted shortly
after his birth by Ronald Reagan and his then wife,
Jane Wyman. He turned out to be a very very
good talk radio host, a commentator, and an author, and
(31:25):
he defended his father's legacy. You may not remember, because
I think our brain is wired for the negative stuff.
But you may have thought that there were problems with
Michael Reagan, and in fact, quite the opposite. He was
the son who admired his father and worked very hard
(31:47):
to preserve his legacy. We had the pleasure of talking.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
To Michael Reagan back in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 5 (31:53):
In the story he told about his dad and how
his dad taught him about taxes, one of my favorites.
Speaker 11 (32:01):
I learned a lot of lessons from my dad as
I was writing writing that book, and I'm just reminded
of them, you know, when it comes to Father's Day.
How I learned about America. I learned about America saying
they're right, let's see the station wagon on any given Saturday,
writing out to the ranch and haven't jailed me with
songs of the Army, the Navy, the rink or the
coast Guard, and learning about America and the greatness of
(32:21):
America eight years old writing out to the ranch and
just in awe of listening to the stories. I also
learned about the tax system in America writing out to
the ranch, because I asked him for a larger allowance,
and I heard about the tax system in America, which
a ten year old doesn't care about. He just cares,
you can to give me more mark.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
It's not give me the money, that's right.
Speaker 11 (32:41):
But he did make their problems. He said, listen to
a president elected to give me a tax break, I'll
give you a larger allowance. And it was Kenned who
gave him a tax break. And he raised my allowance
from what a dollar a week to five dollars.
Speaker 10 (32:53):
It was.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
So that's a rough legacy.
Speaker 5 (32:59):
I don't think you it was easy to be Ronald
Reagan's son.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
But somehow he was.
Speaker 5 (33:03):
The only one who managed to do so with grace, indignant,
the rest of peace, Michael Reagan.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Hey, the gentlemen Elvis has let for building.
Speaker 10 (33:15):
Thank you and good night,
It's that time time, time, time, Luck and load. The
Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
This is of.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Chief also checks another box when it comes to inclusivity
and diversity and this department. She's a proud member of
the LGBTQ community.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
That just kind of opens the door of people that thought, Oh,
I didn't.
Speaker 1 (00:29):
Even know that that was an opportunity for me. Nobody
gets infany. I am super inspired now.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
She took time out of her already busy schedule to
tell us about her vision for the department's future, one
that includes a three year strategic plan to increase diversity.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
People ask me, what number are you looking for us,
I'm looking for a number is never enough.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Out of thirty three hundred city firefighters, only one hundred
and fifteen are women. Right now, she's already looking at
ways to change that. She's quick to point out that
doing so has a greater purpose attracting the best and
brightest for the job.
Speaker 6 (01:08):
They feel included, they feel valued, and they feel part
of a cohesive team. You might recall a new story
from last year. There was some interest in the fire
departments and the firefighters in California, and the interest was
whether there were too many white men who were firefighters,
and we need to have a program in California to
make sure we don't have enough white man as firefighters.
Speaker 5 (01:26):
Well, you can slug this segment a trans terror. The
man arrested for trying to break into our vice president's
house in Cincinnati goes by the name Julia now and
is the son of wealthy Democrat donors.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
You see this again and again.
Speaker 5 (01:47):
William Defour, twenty six, was arrested early Monday after Popo
say he shattered four windows at the Vice President's home.
Speaker 1 (02:00):
Family were not in.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Ohio at the time, Thank god. The four has been
recently going by the name Julia. Defour's father, also named William,
is a prominent pediatric urologist in Cincinnati and works as
a professor at the University of Cincinnati's College of Medicine.
(02:22):
So daddy looks at kids wieners all day and the
kid has a wiener problem. Okay, there's something Freudian going
on here. Dad's a pediatric urologist. He looks at little
kid's reproductive organs all day and sexual organs, and the
(02:43):
kid doesn't want to have a wiener, wants to be
a girl.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
If the dad was a wilder.
Speaker 5 (02:50):
I wouldn't suggest there's anything Freudian here, but the fact
that that's what he does makes me wonder.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
It just makes me wonder.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
The father donated thousands to Kamala Harris's failed presidential campaign
just a few months ago. He is also a longtime
Democratic supporter he donated He donated about five thousand dollars
to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris in their respective campaigns
(03:23):
in twenty and twenty twenty four. The New York Post
reports the alleged vandal has a tricky mental health history,
including a twenty twenty four sentence for two counts of
vandalism at a local interior design company. Instead of a
standard conviction, the four was sentenced to two years of
(03:44):
mandatory mental health treatment, which is still ongoing, according to
court documents obtained. So this guy is in the middle
of mental health treatments when he commits this pretty serious
crime trying to break into the home of JD Vance
and his family and go Paul Pelosi on him. So
(04:07):
how well is the treatment going? I saw something Matt
Walsh posted the other day. Some guy said, you need
to go for mental health treatment. You need to go
for therapy. He said, therapy is for women by women.
It's a very feminine thing. Sitting around telling another woman
all of your problems and all of your feelings and
(04:28):
paying her for it. That's what therapy is. The whole
nation is on therapy. People need to get a dog
or something. They just need somebody to listen to their problems.
In April of twenty twenty three to four was charged
with trespassing at the UC Health Psychiatric and Emergency Services.
He was originally held on a ten thousand dollars bond,
(04:50):
but a judge determined he was not mentally competent to
stand trial and the counts were dismissed in November eighth
filing that year. So he's charged with these crimes, and
judge says, no, no, no, we can't charge him right now.
He's crazy. Let's wait around a few months and see
if he's still crazy. Oh, we forgot to check and
see if he's still crazy.
Speaker 7 (05:08):
Let him go.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
He's charged with obstructing official business, criminal damaging or endangering,
criminal trespass, vandalism, and more. His first court appearance is
scheduled for Tuesday. Every time I see one of these stories,
where some transgender dude. I can't help but think about
Phil Hartman's character. May he rest in peace fromm Phil Hartman,
(05:30):
complete genius, just genius. Speaking of crazy women, his character
in So I married an axe murderer. You remember Hartman
was the former prison guard turned tour guide at Alcatraz.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
My name is John Johnson, but everyone here calls me Vicky.
Will you please follow me?
Speaker 1 (05:53):
So you have Vicky telling the story of machine gun Kelly.
I don't remember.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
The story is good? You like Hartman's delivery full disclosure.
I'm trusting Ramona on this one. This is his movie choice.
Go ahead, close it up, Close it up.
Speaker 8 (06:10):
Clows it up.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
Now, this is something the other tour GUIDs will tell you.
In this particular cell block, machine Gun Kelly had what
we call in the prison system a bitch, and one night,
in a jealous rage, Kelly took a makeshift knife or shift.
Speaker 5 (06:31):
And cut out the bitch's eyes.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
And, as if this wasn't enough retribution for Kelly, the
next day he and four other inmates took turns into
the bitch's ocular cavityes this way to the cafeteria.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
I want my country back, and you should want your
country back, and you should be mindful that nobody stole
your country.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
We gave it away. We gave it away.
Speaker 5 (07:02):
Because when the teacher at the school started misbehaving, we
didn't want the fight she did, but we didn't. When
the Democrats started making law changes, when the pastor of
your church started freaking out, acting different, doing different things,
saying things that you didn't believe in, we didn't speak up.
(07:27):
We politely took it on the chin, and the Overton
window just kept changing. That space within which we have
discussions went from should we raise the taxes by two
percent or drop them by two percent? Two we're cutting
off kids wieners, and you're going to lose your child
(07:47):
because you don't agree to it. That was each incremental bit.
It was the boiling of the frog. You've got to
draw your lines in the sand. You've got to be
ready for the fight. You've got to be willing to fight.
You've got to be willing to be ostracized, lose your job, canceled,
whatever it takes. Since we're on the subject of the
(08:10):
crazy trans issues, Trump made some really funny comments yesterday
regarding trans weightlifters. The man has some amazing comedic timing.
He really does his timing. He's a lot funnier than
people realize. And it was funny.
Speaker 7 (08:29):
You know the.
Speaker 5 (08:30):
Tranny weightlifters have to weigh in on their thoughts, right.
Speaker 9 (08:34):
Welcome back to NPR. After comments made by Donald Trump
regarding trans weightlifters, reaction was swift and loud. Today we
hear from someone personally affected, Sue.
Speaker 7 (08:47):
When I heard the imitation, I was shaken, not physically emotionally,
physically I was fine. I squatted four or five right after.
And how did that make you feel? Hold William I
felt misrepresented. On the other my core has never been stronger.
Pain is temporary, outrage is renewable. Some say it was
just a joke, a joke to you, but to me,
(09:10):
it was a setback, played add another play, just a process.
Speaker 9 (09:13):
It was powerful.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Thank you.
Speaker 7 (09:15):
I'll be back at the gym, currying emotional labor into
leg day.
Speaker 9 (09:20):
A reminder words matter, but apparently soda gains.
Speaker 5 (09:46):
This morning, I had a I don't call them interviews.
I don't wanting the concept of interviews. An interview strikes
me as something. You know, if you're going for a job,
you're interviewed. I like a discussion. I want our show
to be a place that you feel comfortable hanging out
for a long period of time. I do dinner parties
at my house or like last night I had, including Ramon,
(10:07):
a bunch of friends.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
We sat out at the fire. We smoked cigars, and we.
Speaker 5 (10:11):
Talked about things, our careers, our marriages, our kids, our challenges,
our own childhoods, politics, you name it. And it's a
much more relaxed way to have a conversation and figure
things out, and there doesn't have to be a conclusion
to everything. But I got an email. I got an
email from a fellow in Pennsylvania, and he was really
(10:34):
really appreciative of the fact that I had commented on
Walmart greets and how I thought it was such a
brilliant concept, and how people love to make jokes about it.
But I think it's a really sweet concept. And we're
not going to replay the entirety.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
Of the interview because we had him for a while.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
But I got so many responses from people who heard
the show live or who have listened to the podcast
since this morning this afternoon that I wanted to just
give you a couple of highlights of that interview. He's
in a wheelchair. He can only use his left hand.
But I just the word sweet sounds less masculine than
probably usual. But it was a sweet interview and it
(11:09):
kind of inspired me. Jason Poncher Trained was the aforementioned
person who emailed us who had experienced as a Walmart
greeter and appreciated our respect and appreciation for them.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
And we do we do. Jason. Welcome to the program,
Sir Hi Michael. So how long did you work at Walmart?
About two years? Okay? And what occasioned you applying to Walmart?
Speaker 5 (11:32):
Did you go there as a greeter or did you
go there just looking for a job.
Speaker 8 (11:37):
I just went there looking for a job, but because
of my cereubral palsy and the electric wheelchair that I use, it.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Just worked out mess that I be a greeter. Are
you full time in an electric wheelchair?
Speaker 8 (11:49):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (11:49):
What brand?
Speaker 8 (11:51):
What brand would be?
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Quickie to Q seven hundred? What year?
Speaker 10 (11:56):
Model?
Speaker 1 (11:57):
And horsepower of a wheelchair?
Speaker 8 (12:00):
Well with an honor, these things can fly. Well.
Speaker 5 (12:03):
I would want to know if I'm getting a wheelchair
that I'm not getting, you know, the toilet to tersell
of wheelchairs. I want something I want with the Hennessy model.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
There you go.
Speaker 9 (12:14):
We can raise sometime.
Speaker 5 (12:16):
So does cerebral palsy? Help me understand, because I mean
I just know of it. I can't tell you much
about it. Are you able to walk at all?
Speaker 9 (12:24):
Ever?
Speaker 1 (12:25):
Or not at all? My body is very gnarled? Okay,
and tell me exactly what happens there.
Speaker 8 (12:33):
Well. I was born nine weeks premature in nineteen seventy four,
and without oxygen the brain dies and so I stopped
breathing as an incense and the damage was done, you know.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
Okay, So help me understand how the lack of oxygen
manifests itself in the condition you have.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Do you know? You may not know.
Speaker 5 (12:58):
I'm just curious. Usually people know there can nditions inside
and out.
Speaker 8 (13:02):
Well, cerebraro palsy is a neurological condition, so it's a
very wide ranging condition. So for example, if you see
somebody who walks with kind of a clumsy walk and
can't speak so well, that could be a cerebral palsy
or someone like me. I can talk just fine, but
(13:23):
I can't walk at all, and my body is really stiff.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
You know, have you never walked? That's correct, I have
never walked.
Speaker 5 (13:30):
Oh wow, okay, yeah, so growing up, I'm assuming an
electric wheelchair was not an option.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
That's correct.
Speaker 8 (13:39):
I did not get an electric wheelchair until I was fifteen.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Yeah, y, all right?
Speaker 5 (13:45):
And then so what is your upper body dexterity?
Speaker 8 (13:50):
And I have good use I should say, better use
of my arms, no use of my legs. I am
left hand in my right hand can't do a whole lot.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
But yeah, but you can fully function using the remote
control in your hand.
Speaker 11 (14:12):
Yes.
Speaker 8 (14:12):
So I'm holding the cell phone in my left hand
right now.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
I could not hold it in my right hand. If
that if that helps it at all? Yeah, it does.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
So did you know they had kind of a special
affinity for disabled folks that were more you had a
shot to get in the greeter's position because I'm guessing
you just don't apply to some jobs.
Speaker 11 (14:30):
That's exactly right.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
Okay, all right, So you go in and you know
their receptive to this, and did they give you any
special training?
Speaker 12 (14:39):
Uh?
Speaker 8 (14:40):
Just to look see. Another part of the job was
asset protection, basically making sure that shoplifting does not happen.
So I just kind of look around and see what's
going on and check receipts and so forth and you.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Didn't like ram somebody if they tried to run. Oh no, no, no, no, no,
that'd be cool.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
All What was the reaction of people when you walked
in and they saw someone in a wheelchair with such
a cheerful countenance.
Speaker 8 (15:09):
Oh, it was just great to build relationships and learn
people's stories. I mean, the regulars would come in and
whether or not we knew one another's names, it was like,
you know, we recognize one another. We built that rapport
of that camaraderie. You know, it was great, wonderful, great experience.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
It's interesting you say that, Jason, because I believe that
little moments like that, chance encounters, random acts of kindness.
I think that's what grounds us and keeps us going.
Speaker 1 (15:39):
Honing a small.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
Business is tough. Talk about this all the time. Small
business owners are fascinating creatures. Because there's there's a there's
a movie called like six Feet from Greatness or three
feet from you know, talking about no it's not thirty
feet yeah about the backup singers.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Is it thirty feet? Okay?
Speaker 5 (16:01):
Well, it's just amazing because over the years, you know,
RCC gave me this experience where there's the rock star
lead singer that you know, books are written about, they're
interviewed wherever they are. People are like, oh my god,
that twenty feet from stardom, and people are literally melting
(16:22):
because this person is two tables over. Now, if the
lead guitarist or the drummer is there, people have no idea,
nor when they're told, do they really care other than
to ask that person about the famous person. And yet
(16:43):
that secondary person is the is the one on stage
helping make the music.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
They're part of all this.
Speaker 5 (16:51):
They have the same experiences within reason, and yet you don't,
we don't think of it that way, right, Well, it's
interesting to me that in the course of a day,
I drive past some guy who's digging a ditch. Not
I mean not really, nobody digs ditches anymore, but you
(17:12):
get that idea and you know, there's your ditch digger.
Or I go into a restaurant and there's a guy
back there in the kitchen, not the celebrated chef, you know,
not Matt Brice coming out in his chef jacket and
everybody hopes he'll come to their table and bless them.
I mean the guy who's in the back, who's the cook,
(17:35):
And I go into kitchens, because I like to go
into kitchens. You're out there having a nice time. You've
got real nice music, you know, that's being piped in
a hopefully at just the right level, and it's very calm,
and the sounds and the clinking of the glass, and
(17:57):
the waiter comes over, and you know, if it's the
right kind of restaurant, they should be tending to your needs.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
What would you like? How can we make you happy?
Speaker 5 (18:07):
Oh?
Speaker 11 (18:07):
With that?
Speaker 5 (18:07):
Is that not to your liking? What else could we do?
Could I refiel this?
Speaker 1 (18:12):
You horse? You finish the trough water? Would you like
some more?
Speaker 11 (18:16):
Oh?
Speaker 5 (18:17):
The restroom? Okay, you'd like to move somebody? Okay, that's
down here? And can we do this? And can I
take your jacket?
Speaker 1 (18:23):
And all that?
Speaker 5 (18:24):
And so here we are, and we're having this wonderful experience,
and even the waiter is kind of in on the
experience because he's getting to enjoy the air conditioning, which
by historical standard, is in and of itself a big deal. Right,
So he's going through all this and he's dressed nice
in your dress nice, and somewhere about thirty forty fifty
feet away as part of this whole process is the
(18:47):
person who took the raw materials in that awful heat
pit of a kitchen. He's got burns up and down
his arms, and he's making the food that is at
the root of all this. And so there's like these
concentric circles. We live on the same planet, we live
(19:09):
in the same city. We may occupy the same space
in the restaurant, but the patron may go home to
a twenty thousand dollars mansion and butlers and drivers, and
he may the next morning get up and be taken
to his private plane, and the waiter somewhere in between,
(19:31):
he's he's over here, and he's in his little apartment,
and he's maybe gonna if he makes a little extra money,
and now he's gonna go get hammered and get a tattoo.
And then you got the guy in the back who's cooking.
And the concentric circle is they're all under the same
roof of the same restaurant at the same time. But
it's a very different life in a very different moment,
(19:52):
and we don't think about that. You know, you drive
past a bus stop. Most people that are at the
bus stop are not there to conserve energy. They're there
because they can't afford a vehicle. And if you can't
afford a vehicle in the United States in twenty twenty six,
things are rough right, and yet here we are to say,
you know, hey, how you doing your way going in
and out of the grocery store or whatever else.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
I think about this all the time. Well, when you walk.
Speaker 5 (20:16):
Into a small business, we view it as well, I'm
going in to buy a couple of items and I'm
going to leave that space. He's got to keep it clean,
he's got to keep it safe. You're the nice guy
coming in. You're not the Democrat coming in trying to
rip him off, threatning him, sue him. If everybody could
run a small business, they would. It is not easy.
(20:37):
But you know who must be killing.
Speaker 9 (20:39):
It right now?
Speaker 1 (20:41):
I'm gonna call them when we hang up.
Speaker 5 (20:43):
Flag shop owners, Cromberg's flag shop, Cromberg's flags and flagpoles,
all of them. You got protesters changing sides all the time.
You got Palestinian flags one day, then you got Ukraine.
People can't find Ukraine on the map. Now it's Viva Venezuela.
That's the new one. That's what they're doing now. I mean,
(21:04):
you think about all this? How do these people keep
up if you go to their house? Do they just
have random discarded like old discard like used two? People
have discarded concert shirts, you know, the Ramones, the Kinks
seventy eight, the Sex Pistols World Tour. Do people just
(21:25):
have like what became of Ukraine? Did Ukraine just doesn't
matter anymore? Honestly I think about these things. Does nobody
care about Ukraine anymore? Did the Palestinians just go away?
What happened to the transgenders? We were all gonna die
if the transgenders weren't happy? And now whatever, whatever became
(21:47):
of the transgenders. I toured Cromberg's flags and flagpoles recently
and they got flags from countries I didn't know existed,
honest to goodness, and I pride myself on knowing flags.
Speaker 1 (21:58):
But you got to figure. You gotta figure.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
Flag shop owners right now have to be loving protesters.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
So thank you for joining us on Action News.
Speaker 13 (22:09):
At six, we continue our feature on local small businesses.
Speaker 1 (22:12):
Tonight. We introduce you to Simply Sensational.
Speaker 13 (22:16):
Flags and their owner, Elmer Clutterbuck, who says political protesters
provide most of his business, but he can never be
certain which flag is gonna fly, so simply sensational flag
to the family business.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
My fifth started thinks back in.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Seventy seven, they wanted to sell and I said that's silly.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
So here I am.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
Year ago, we were big into sports flag Seahawks, dealers,
Saint Spurs, they were big.
Speaker 1 (22:44):
Fellared for us.
Speaker 2 (22:45):
Then the protesters became sisational. Boy are they passionate little fuckers.
Problem is you never know who they're gonna support. Palestine
flags were fizzling for a while, then we had a
pivot to Ukraine. We can thank Secretary Soothing for that one.
Now it's been with whaling.
Speaker 1 (23:06):
Flags selling like hotcakes.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Of course I can always count on the rainbow flags
being a big seller. Those really set sail in June.
Now we make all of our flags non cotton. That
would simply be racist. Our clientele will not go for that.
I can promise you one thing. As long as we
have protesters, we're gonna have pistons because those guys are
(23:30):
something else. Oh and I'd be remiss if I didn't
tell you this.
Speaker 1 (23:35):
We're expanding.
Speaker 13 (23:36):
Take a look at our new as item that's flying
off the shelves.
Speaker 1 (23:40):
Candles.
Speaker 9 (23:41):
Are you ready for it, sanctuary sentiment.
Speaker 13 (23:44):
These are gonna dominate the Democratic candlelight digitals.
Speaker 5 (23:49):
Here smells like six seven food ramon You knowes cargo
is snails? Do you know one of the French eats snails?
They hate fast food?
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Lifeless eyes, black eyes like a dolls.
Speaker 14 (24:17):
You o I n s.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Let's kick it.
Speaker 14 (24:22):
Nice nice all right, stop collaborate and listen. Ice is

them in a catapult, watch them fly away. We won't
ever stop. Hell No. Only word to Spanish that we
know is audios to the extreme. Kick him out, thanks
(24:43):

best up minor infractions. If you resist in the contraction,
we love it. You're leaving, Horman, don't blame you. Better
hit the road, Jack Colbrand, you are a problem Trump.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Just so.
Speaker 14 (25:00):
The border in the door that's revolving nice Nice tom
overis my same Tom Owens nice domain John Owens.
Speaker 1 (25:19):
I don't want to go Ice is coming.
Speaker 14 (25:23):
I prefer I say Nice is coming, really lie b
lie ne is coming us.
Speaker 9 (25:33):
Nice is coming.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
I've been here for you.
Speaker 14 (25:38):
Nice is coming, Joe Biden say he's hold July is
a liar. I got e b d car Ice is
coming and the Free I'm falling here my phone.
Speaker 9 (25:51):
Back, Nice my Sam tom over, nice naming.
Speaker 5 (26:04):
I always imagine you realize there was a guy who
conceived the idea, I'm gonna get me.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Anna get me a.
Speaker 5 (26:18):
Ice agent officer costume. Oh that'd be cool. Yeah, you know,
I'll uh, I'll ask people for their ID. Tell some
women they they can either go to they can either
get deported or come home with me and have sex.
(26:39):
Can make the dudes give me money. I'd be cool.
I'm gonna do it. I you know what I'm gonna
do it. I always say I'm gonna do stuff and
I don't follow through. This time, I'm gonna do it
and make my parents proud. And then he ordered something.
I mean, think of the layers. This isn't a decide
(26:59):
to do it in five minutes later, you're asking for IDs, right,
and then you know you get up. You figure you
probably take a shower before you go do the ice
agent thing. You comb your hair real good, clip your nails, shave. Yeah,
it's always a dude. Do you ever notice that it's
(27:20):
always a dude? And then and then what you get
in your car and you're like, Okay, this is the day,
this is the day I'm going to do it. Here
I go, watch me, now hold my be or here
I go, I'm the Ice agent. And then you figure
first time he does it, if he doesn't get caught
the first time, he does it one hundred times before
(27:41):
he's caught because he gets better.
Speaker 1 (27:45):
And the people you're arresting are detaining, they're not really
in a.
Speaker 5 (27:50):
Position to tell you to stop. Another fake ICE agent arrest,
this time in Galveston. The guy who confronted him tells ABC,
I noticed his gear and his outfit. It looked like
it just came in from TIMU. It wasn't like what
real cops wear. ABC thirteen with the story, it looked.
Speaker 12 (28:10):
Like a late night traffic stop. To the people behind
the camera, immediately felt wrong.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
What the hell did we just see?
Speaker 12 (28:18):
Robert Harvey and Bruce Revman are self described community activists
to patrol Galison County streets and regularly record police incidents.
Nearly two months ago that came upon what they thought
was one near Gallison strand.
Speaker 1 (28:31):
He was doing everything a normal police officer does. He
had people's ID in their hand. He was shining his
flashlight at these people in the face.
Speaker 12 (28:39):
However, Harvey says he quickly realized something wasn't right.
Speaker 10 (28:44):
I noticed his gear in his outfit. It looked like
it just came in from TIMU. It wasn't like real
cops where Harvey says. There wasn't a police cruiser either.
In the video, Harvey tried to get information.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
What's your name in.
Speaker 12 (28:56):
Vashnermery don't have to get Harvey asked to see a Eventually,
he says one was shown.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
You see it.
Speaker 12 (29:04):
He just hit me in the face. Moments later, the
man took off in a blue vehicle. Harvey says they
tracked down officers around the corner. I felt like this
guy needed to be snitched on. That is very dangerous
what he was doing.
Speaker 10 (29:15):
You know, we don't like bad cops, but somebody pretending
to be.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
A bad cop is worse than a bad cop.
Speaker 12 (29:20):
Galbson. Police said the incident sparked an investigation. Days ago,
officers arrested Joshua Warner. Officers say witnesses told them Warner
pretended to be an ICE agent right now. Warner faces
a two counts of impersonating law enforcement, but Gabison detectives
believe there may be more victims. That's why they put
his information in photo out to social media and asked
anyone who may have been unlawfully detained by Warner to
(29:42):
contact police.
Speaker 10 (29:43):
After I shared the video, stories came in from everywhere.
People were emailing. I probably got one hundred emails, one
hundred messages on messenger people.
Speaker 12 (29:51):
Harvey says he encouraged to contact police like he did
after seeing this. Who the hill is if you're shining
the flashlight in his space right now? Now, it's warn
behind bars where he's being held on a half a
million dollar bond.
Speaker 1 (30:03):
Very happy that they arrested him and got that dangerous
guy off the street before somebody got hurt.
Speaker 5 (30:11):
Maybe he thinks it's kind of like a volunteer firefighter,
you know, volunteer firefighter.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
He's not a full time firefighter.
Speaker 5 (30:20):
He's not a professional firefighter, but everybody respects and admires him.
Or maybe he thinks to him. So, you know, we
got so many illegals. We don't have enough ICE agents.
I'm tired of watching the news I'm going to do
my part. I'm just going to start figuring out who's
(30:43):
here illegal and.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Who can stay. That's going to be my that's going
to be my contribution to this whole thing. I'm going
to uh morel must leaves up and get involved.
Speaker 5 (31:02):
Michael Reagan, the eldest son of President Reagan, has passed
away at the age of eighty. He was adopted shortly
after his birth by Ronald Reagan and his then wife,
Jane Wyman. He turned out to be a very very
good talk radio host, a commentator, and an author, and
(31:25):
he defended his father's legacy. You may not remember, because
I think our brain is wired for the negative stuff.
But you may have thought that there were problems with
Michael Reagan, and in fact, quite the opposite. He was
the son who admired his father and worked very hard
(31:47):
to preserve his legacy. We had the pleasure of talking.
Speaker 1 (31:51):
To Michael Reagan back in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 5 (31:53):
In the story he told about his dad and how
his dad taught him about taxes, one of my favorites.
Speaker 11 (32:01):
I learned a lot of lessons from my dad as
I was writing writing that book, and I'm just reminded
of them, you know, when it comes to Father's Day.
How I learned about America. I learned about America saying
they're right, let's see the station wagon on any given Saturday,
writing out to the ranch and haven't jailed me with
songs of the Army, the Navy, the rink or the
coast Guard, and learning about America and the greatness of
(32:21):
America eight years old writing out to the ranch and
just in awe of listening to the stories. I also
learned about the tax system in America writing out to
the ranch, because I asked him for a larger allowance,
and I heard about the tax system in America, which
a ten year old doesn't care about. He just cares,
you can to give me more mark.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
It's not give me the money, that's right.
Speaker 11 (32:41):
But he did make their problems. He said, listen to
a president elected to give me a tax break, I'll
give you a larger allowance. And it was Kenned who
gave him a tax break. And he raised my allowance
from what a dollar a week to five dollars.
Speaker 10 (32:53):
It was.
Speaker 1 (32:55):
So that's a rough legacy.
Speaker 5 (32:59):
I don't think you it was easy to be Ronald
Reagan's son.
Speaker 1 (33:02):
But somehow he was.
Speaker 5 (33:03):
The only one who managed to do so with grace, indignant,
the rest of peace, Michael Reagan.
Speaker 1 (33:11):
Hey, the gentlemen Elvis has let for building.
Speaker 10 (33:15):
Thank you and good night,
