Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So Michael Verie Show is on the air to walk
us through a typical day for you. Yeah, it's great.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Well, I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late
that I just sort of space out for about an hour.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
I just stare at my desk, but it looks like
I'm working.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
I do that for probably another hour after launch too.
I'd say in a given week, I probably only do
about fifteen minutes of real actual work. The thing is, Bob,
it's not that I'm lazy, It's that I just don't
care working.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Not five bottle verse.
Speaker 5 (00:51):
Just tell us about this email and what it was
like receiving it and what you all have talked about
after getting it.
Speaker 6 (00:58):
I got this email Saturday afternoon, about three pm, and
I felt absolutely infuriated getting this email with a demand
within forty eight hours to provide a response and what
I did within the last week or face termination.
Speaker 7 (01:18):
Managers that had to be in office yesterday, and we
waited there all day until maybe twelve one o'clock and
then it was kind of like a fire and range.
They mined us up, took our equipment, and.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Sent us home. His pride and passion, taking away, yes
and fine, so taking it again.
Speaker 8 (01:43):
Days you mine and you nene A get credit gets fine.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I'll admit I'm a little bit obsessed on this laying
off the government employees and it gets me as a
woman that went on I can't remember seeing NMSNBC.
Speaker 9 (02:03):
It's all the same.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
But she's talking about the fact that she had to
respond within forty eight hours what she had done this
past week, and this wasn't enough time. She wasn't able
to It's unfair. She was insulted. But you had time.
Speaker 9 (02:28):
To book yourself on a.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
TV show, get to a studio, get makeup done and
all dressed up for it, and do the interview before
that forty eight hours elapsed. I think you had time
to fill out your report. Yeah, but of course it's
(02:51):
not about the time. What we're seeing now is something
that if we were to discuss, would be hard to explain.
But when it's laid bare on exhibition on national TV,
it becomes quite abundantly clear, and that is that government
workers don't feel they should be held accountable because they
(03:17):
never have been. They are the most entitled, they're better
than you. This is the mindset of the inspector. When
you're going, dude, it's eight inches from the wall and
you want it to be nine inches. That's going to
cost me twenty eight thousand dollars. It's going to delay
(03:37):
my project for six months.
Speaker 9 (03:39):
I don't care. This is the mindset. You're seeing it
as clearly as possible, the idea. It's like a simmering.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
What do they call that when people go to work.
Speaker 9 (03:57):
Young people brag that they do it like quiet or
something like that. You remember the term for that, Huh, No,
it's quitting.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Quitting they call it where where you basically don't care
that you get fired, so you just show up, don't
do anything until they finally you just don't put anything in.
And young people, some young people are very proud of that.
That's kind of what these government employees have been doing forever.
I remember at the city, I'd have people tell me.
I'd say, hey, we're having problems with old Sam Sami Badrin,
(04:29):
and I shouldn't say that's probably somebody's name with old
Sam Samon Badron and public works, and we can't get
him to get his work done. And we got people
complaining about it that are trying to get projects going,
and they'd say, counselmen, we.
Speaker 9 (04:48):
We can't get him to do anything.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Well, let's get him fired. Hadn't anybody been fired here
in forever? And if nobody is ever fired in an organization,
that organization is not going to be at maximum efficiency.
People get mad about let's take Bregman. They're upset, although
(05:11):
people are not as upset as I thought they would
have been.
Speaker 9 (05:13):
Are you noticing that? People?
Speaker 1 (05:16):
But they'll get upset that you trade a player away
without understanding that if this organization or any organization is
going to perform at peak performance, they are going to
have to be people who don't make it. If everybody
makes the team and everybody gets to play, that's great.
(05:36):
If you're eight but not in the pros and you
know you win the championship, and a good GM is
huddling with a good owner and saying, all right, who contributed,
but is up for a new contract and is not
worth the extra money that we could spend that money
(05:57):
on getting a better person. Well that that kind of
organizational development and maintenance, which it's a constant to do,
is not at play in the government. It doesn't attract
the kind of people with that mindset. It doesn't reward
the kind of people with that mindset, and it doesn't
have specific goals, it doesn't have a clear mission, it
(06:19):
doesn't have a purpose, it doesn't have measurables, and if
you don't have measurables, you're going to get exactly what
you see out of the government. There's a story we'll
get to in just a moment that near NRG Stadium,
residents have been waiting for over five months for a
water main break to be fixed, gallons of water gushing
(06:40):
out since September, and the city has done absolutely nothing.
Public Work says they're aware, there's a league and it's
taken more than five months for repairs. You're aware, and
it's taken more than five months, and you're aware how
long it is.
Speaker 9 (07:02):
And you're not doing anything.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Remember when the city told us not to run our taps,
not to open the tap when it was cold outside,
which is what you do to keep it from freezing up,
because we had to conserve water. There's your conserve water.
Big raid at Colony Ridge yesterday. We'll get to that
in just a moment. Trey Harris is John Harris, the
(07:29):
CEO out there, put out a statement saying that he
supports this and he's grateful for the efforts of Tom
Homan and the guys. And then old Greg Abbott, as
he always does, got out in front of the parade.
He didn't know what was happening, and he said, yeah,
big raid at Colony Ridge, as if he had done
something about it. Oh, well, that's interesting. The same Colony
(07:51):
Ridge you took all that money from the Harris Boys
for the same Colony Ridge that had been donating so
any dollars to your account. Did you have no idea
what was going on out there or.
Speaker 9 (08:05):
Did you just choose to look the other way?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
The same Colony Ridge that we've had people from all
over the country calling.
Speaker 9 (08:12):
Us that they're aware of it, and you've done nothing.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
This came from the Feds, by the way, Oh can
I can I get credit for it?
Speaker 9 (08:20):
Take a eighty for five percent of people want Okay.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
We're for it, everybody, greg An here, We're for it.
Speaker 7 (08:25):
Just put that on a Michael Barris so Michael Berry show.
Speaker 9 (08:39):
I've never understood what that song's about.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
The owner of a New Jersey spa is arrested for
running a brothel out of the business. Yeah, yeah, I
just want you to understand the spa is not technically
supposed to be a brothel, is just supposed to be
a spa, because you might have caught yourself thinking when
(09:03):
I thought they were the same thing.
Speaker 9 (09:06):
But that's not why the story is going viral.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
A bust of a spa that's really a brothel.
Speaker 9 (09:16):
It's not national news.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
The reason the story has gone viral is that the
owner's name is s n first name, b A N
G last name. The fella's name is Soon Bang. You
go see Soon Bang? How long will it take? Soon Bang?
Speaker 9 (09:42):
Take care of you fast?
Speaker 1 (09:44):
In addition to that, the woman arrested for prostitution at
the spa is sixty seven years old. Soon Bang sixty
three is the owner of the Oasis Spa spa in Denville,
New Jersey, and he's been arrested accused of promoting prostitution
at his business. Yushun Lee, sixty seven, is accused of
(10:09):
engaging in sexual activity for money at the establishment. According
to North Jersey dot Com, on February fifteenth, the Denville
Police Department executed a search warrant at the Oasis Spa
and at Bang's Fairview residence. A large quantity of US
currency was found in Popo say it is indicative of prostitution.
(10:30):
Bang was charged on a summons complaint with third degree
promoting prostitution, second degree money laundering, and the disorderly person's
offense of engaging with prostitution. Yushun Lee was also charged
by summons complaint with the disorderly person's offense of engaging
with prostitution. We here at the Michael Barry Show have
(10:50):
exclusive undercover audio of sixty seven year old Yushun Lee
negotiating with the client.
Speaker 10 (10:57):
He our friend Vietnam.
Speaker 8 (11:02):
Not just this bit it.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
Well, baby, me so honey, Me so honey.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Keep lying me love you a long time?
Speaker 11 (11:13):
You pun it.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Yeah, we might party when you are much.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Fifteen dollars. Fifteen dollars, you both say you fifteen dollars
me love you long time?
Speaker 9 (11:25):
I want me so horny.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
You ain't three dollars to bookoo? Five dollars in me
lucky very much one of these days.
Speaker 12 (11:36):
Five dollars so my mom allows me.
Speaker 9 (11:38):
To spend okay, ten dollars each.
Speaker 8 (11:43):
What do we get for ten dollars? Every thing? You want?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Everything?
Speaker 13 (11:49):
E three too.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
It's funny what leads to prostitution in different parts of
the country. In New Jersey, it could be a pedicure.
In Ohio, it's ice fishing.
Speaker 14 (12:00):
The mayor of the City of Hudson is in the
spotlight for saying ice fishing could lead to prostitution. That
comment was made during a discussion on allowing residents to
ice fish on Hudson and Springs Lake. Our lydia Espara
has reaction.
Speaker 12 (12:14):
If you live in northeast Ohio, ice fishing is as
popular as snowboarding. Hudson resident Michael Whittaker has been fishing
in this hole his entire life and didn't notice the
sign that recently went up.
Speaker 11 (12:27):
I've been ice fish year forever, Like there's like this
is a this is my spot, you know.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
He told our Carl Bachtel.
Speaker 12 (12:34):
He wrote city council to ask why it was banned,
and he was surprised at Hudson's Mayor, Craig Schubert's comments
about the topic that even had the fish flipping.
Speaker 14 (12:45):
And if you then allow ice fishing with shanties, then
that leads to another problem, prostitution.
Speaker 12 (12:53):
A comment so shocking that even council President Chris Foster's
face tells the story that this could be a fishtail.
Speaker 15 (13:01):
And now you got the police chief and the police department.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Invaulved And I see you laughing already.
Speaker 10 (13:06):
Well, I yes, and I shouldn't laugh when people bring
concerns up.
Speaker 12 (13:12):
Kate Chateleman is word one council person and she says
this is not the first time the mayor has made
controversial statements.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
What has he said before?
Speaker 10 (13:21):
We actually last ball, he went to a school board
meeting and demanded the resignation of five school board members
because the prompts being used in a creative writing class
were considered pornography.
Speaker 12 (13:32):
Shalleman says the comments led to death threats to several
board members, and this one has now gone viral. Whitaker
isn't taking the bait. He knows ice fishing can be dangerous.
You fish at your own risk, but the sport is
worth fighting for it.
Speaker 9 (13:49):
Because it's addicting.
Speaker 10 (13:50):
There's no reason that it should be this fun to
catch four inch bluego through an eight inch hole.
Speaker 12 (13:54):
And the mayor should reel in his comments that ice
fishing and shanties lead to constitution.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
We'll be out there to get away from women. Some
of us, I don't know.
Speaker 12 (14:05):
Man Lydia Spira three news.
Speaker 9 (14:09):
If only Soon Bang had filmed.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
You Shoon Lee sixty seven years old and her clients,
If only he had filmed them and sold the film,
it wouldn't have been prostitution.
Speaker 9 (14:24):
Oh, Chris, you can't always believe what you hear.
Speaker 8 (14:27):
For example, everybody thinks that prostitution is illegal, but there
are always around it.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
All right, let's do it.
Speaker 7 (14:35):
Told.
Speaker 11 (14:35):
If you were under arrest for prostitution, it's not prostitution.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
You paid her to have sex. No, I paid her.
Speaker 11 (14:41):
To have sex and we're filming it, so technically it's
not prostitution.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
It's a porno.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
Oh well, as long as you're filming and selling it,
it's legal.
Speaker 9 (14:50):
Enjoy your day.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Remember, kids, she's not a if she's an actress.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
The fella's name is Soun Bang Man. How perfect was that?
Maybe his parents had forethought or maybe soon Bang means
something there that it just doesn't mean here, but it
translates beautifully.
Speaker 9 (15:12):
Asian names. You gotta love them. Remember those Asian pilots
who crashed the plane.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
You have new information now. Also on the plane crash,
k TV has just learned the names of the four
pilots who are on board the flight. They are Captain
some Ting, Wong We Too Low, Ho Lee Fuk and
Bang dang Ao. The NTSB has confirmed these are the
names of the pilots on board Flight two fourteen when
(15:38):
it crashed. We are working to determine exactly what roles
each of them played during the landing. On Saturday, it
was confirmed.
Speaker 9 (15:47):
It was confirmed. They had confirmed the names. That's true,
they had.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Confirmed the names. It was all a prank from an
intern and he pulled it off. That guy would be
a lot of fun. You know, every time I hear
those names, I laugh at a different one and then
and then it hits. You wait a second, the four
names are as they're going down, and then they hit
and then you realize the absolute genius of the telling
(16:13):
of the story through the names. Do it again, Ramon,
you have.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
New information now also on the plane crash. K TV
has just learned the names of the four pilots who
are on board the flight. They are Captain some Ting,
Wong We Too Low, to f and Bang dang Out.
The NTSB has confirmed these are.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
The name.
Speaker 9 (16:53):
Ramon, how did the st D escape from the hospital
on crotches?
Speaker 2 (17:00):
All right?
Speaker 1 (17:00):
So the raid on Colony Ridge yesterday and CEO, John Harris,
he's the brother of Trey Harris, who the fellow was.
Our guest puts out a statement saying, yeah, yeah, no, no.
Speaker 9 (17:13):
We're good.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
We're very very supportive of your efforts.
Speaker 16 (17:18):
Khou with the story In Colony Ridge, video from a
resident shows officials seemingly making an arrest and in this
neighborhood Something. Similardo says he and his family witness a
truck being pulled over at seven am in front of
his home, taking this photo where you can see what
appears to be law enforcement officials and men with their
hands behind their backs.
Speaker 9 (17:38):
They basically forced them out.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
My neighbor.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
He was screaming at them, basically saying that to not speak,
to not resist.
Speaker 16 (17:49):
His parents are now afraid.
Speaker 9 (17:51):
They were just scared.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Day.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
We're crying.
Speaker 16 (17:53):
This a few hours before Governor Abbott announced ice operations
targeting this community. Quote criminals and illegal imigrants here. We
saw Homeland security in the area something. Residents tell us
they noticed a lot today.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
I know good people in this area, good families, not
all our criminals.
Speaker 16 (18:11):
Pastor William Yanna at Santi Stevan Episcopal Church says he's
gotten several calls from members of his congregation.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Very scare, very very scare, especially the kids.
Speaker 16 (18:21):
Says that is Spinosa with Fiel made their way here
to inform the community of their rights, noticing what he
says were over a dozen traffic stops by DPS.
Speaker 17 (18:29):
Twelve stops in about an hour is not normal. There's
something happening in.
Speaker 16 (18:33):
This Espinosa says. Operations like this cause unnecessary fear in
the community.
Speaker 17 (18:38):
We encouraged the governor to do his job, to have
DPS with your job and do proper investigations to get
to the actual criminals, not just cast a wide open edwork.
Speaker 16 (18:48):
Now, within the last hour, I did hear back from
Colony Ridge and they sent us a statement that says
they are grateful for the effort to root out quote
criminal illegals in Texas and that DPS officers have been
working throughout the area for more than two years, saying
they know who the bad guys are and that they
fully support these efforts.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Is it just me or did that pastor sound like
Consuela the Maid and Family guy?
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Jeez, can you give me a break here?
Speaker 8 (19:15):
I clean toilet?
Speaker 12 (19:16):
What I clean toilet?
Speaker 2 (19:18):
What are you doing? I'm on the Joinea, please leave.
Okay this trash trash what No, that's a functioning lamp. No,
he's okay, I take home.
Speaker 9 (19:35):
What the hell is happening right now?
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Let's see if Jim can lay Consuela the maid next
to that pastor side by side and uh and see
if they don't sound exactly the same. This could be
six oh four Houston gronde Gole was some actual reporting
here on the Texas lotto rigging scandal. I was sent
(20:03):
a video from a mutual friend with Dan Patrick, the
Lieutenant Governor, and Dan Patrick was out at a.
Speaker 9 (20:13):
I guess it was a.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Convenience store on one side and another business on the back.
And when I saw it, my immediate thought was, what's
the lieutenant governor doing out at a site like this.
We've got people to do investigations. But then I saw
it and I thought, well, this is a pretty good
(20:35):
way to bring attention to a problem. And it was
basically laid out to suggest quite clearly that in the
same square footage, when you just took the perimeter of
the building, they sold the ticket and the person lived
or worked that won the ticket one.
Speaker 9 (20:56):
Of the chances.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
And I'm told now that this is starting to e
merge that we're going to find out that there's more
of this that the and it's outside. It's foreign influences
who are coming in, and it's like, you know, we're
talking Ocean's eleven kind of stuff. It's worth the time
to set up these schemes because you're talking eighty ninety
million dollars at a pop.
Speaker 9 (21:18):
Here was the Houston Chronicle story.
Speaker 8 (21:20):
On Wednesday, a panel of state officials gathered to talk
about the Texas Lottery Commission's budget, but the hearing quickly
turned into something else.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
And then somebody showed up with about eleven million dollars
in cash to buy tickets. Would you consider that an
ordinary operation?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
That's right.
Speaker 8 (21:40):
Suddenly lawmakers wanted to hear more about the operation we've
been writing about for nearly a year. In April twenty
twenty three, a single lottery player calling itself Rook Texas,
guaranteed it would win the ninety five million dollars Lotto
Texas jackpot by buying up every number combination. More than
twenty five million tickets. By our calculations, were clear to
twenty min million dollar profit. We reported how the Texas
(22:03):
Lottery Commission went out of its way to help the
operations organizers, but lawmakers saw a bigger potential problem.
Speaker 18 (22:09):
If I was trying to launder money in this country,
I would buy twenty five million dollars worth of lottery tickets.
This is ninety nine percent probability of money laundry.
Speaker 8 (22:19):
Lottery commissioners, who are appointed by gog Berner Greg Abbott agreed.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
To answer your question, yes, that that sounds incredibly.
Speaker 8 (22:28):
Irregular, And for the first time since we've covered this story,
the lottery's director admitted that maybe helping a single buyer
arranged to win a guaranteed jackpot win wasn't such a
great idea.
Speaker 11 (22:38):
I think it definitely hurt the integrity and perception of that.
Speaker 8 (22:42):
Game and all that was before the real bombshell dropped.
Speaker 13 (22:45):
I'm here today as legal counsel to make the following
statement on behalf of a client group victimized by a
long running criminal conspiracy between the Texas Lottery Commission, former
lottery director Gary grief Igt, and the publicly traded navesback
Companylottery dot com.
Speaker 8 (23:02):
In a letter read to legislators, a group of aggrieved
investors called the April twenty twenty three Lotto Texas draw,
the biggest money long during scheme in global lottery history.
The Senator seemed alarmed that the Lottery Commission hadn't already
started investigating.
Speaker 9 (23:18):
Let me ask you us a question, then, do you
think you should receive priority?
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Yes, sir.
Speaker 8 (23:23):
They also called out the Lottery Commission's recently retired director
for allowing the controversial buy.
Speaker 16 (23:28):
And Gary Grief was the executive director at the time
and pretty much seemed like turned a blind eye to this.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
If not was eighteen and helping.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
This, then they called in the big guns. We just
need to call them Texas rangers immediately.
Speaker 8 (23:45):
You can read more about the hearing and how a
single buyer stacked the odds in a Texas lottery game
in the Houston Chronicle. Will be staying on this story.
Speaker 9 (23:55):
You know well.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Senator Bob Hall, who has been leading the charge on them,
made a statement quote one step at a time, the
crime syndicate inside the Texas Lottery Commission completely destroyed what
the nineteen ninety two Texas legislature intended to be an
honest game of chance with specific guardrails to protect miners
(24:18):
and addicts. So we can't have legalized gambling in Texas.
There are a couple of reasons. One is some people
will say God doesn't want you to and those same
people love to wink wink, nod nod head to Louisiana
to gamble. Okay, so you're not really opposed to it.
(24:40):
Maybe it makes it more thrilling that it's illegal here.
Speaker 9 (24:43):
And you're breaking the law to go to.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Louisiana to gamble instead of being able to drive twenty
minutes to do it.
Speaker 9 (24:50):
Okay, you need that.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
It's the people who push for the Temperance Union and
like to drink on the side. They it's a fetish,
it's a weirdness, but they do it. And there are
these types of people. But it's also the case that
God want God doesn't want gambling in Texas unless the
Indians do it m or the government runs.
Speaker 9 (25:14):
It and guess what, look how it turned out.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
The Michael Mary Show.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Rarely this film penetrate so deeply that after you see something.
The example I would give is Singing in the Rain
from Clockwork Orange. You can never hear the Whimsicals singing
in the rain again. After the scene in Clockwork Orange
(25:51):
where they beat the dude into paralysis, the same.
Speaker 9 (25:55):
You will always at least that for me, I always have.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
I can never hear this song again, which I had
probably heard a thousand times before that movie and not.
Speaker 9 (26:08):
Envisioned there you know what was the four or five
part harmony.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
The NSSA has now confirmed that they are investigating employees
quote secret sex chats, as Elon posted when the story broke.
Now we know what the employees were doing last week.
Maybe that's why they couldn't tell us. Chris Ruffo, has
(26:36):
been a guest on the show before, has revealed from
his investigation that an NSA spokesman had quote confirmed the
authenticity of the secret sex chat and the agency was
taking administrative action against the employees who had reportedly abused
the system. And what exactly supposedly happened is that you've
(27:01):
got government employees who are using a.
Speaker 9 (27:05):
Private chat channel.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
A former NSA employee and a current NSA employee provided
chat logs from the NSA's into Link messaging program. This
is a secured messaging program supposedly that the Chinese or
the media can't hack. But instead the site had been
taken over by the LGBTQ community within the group, and
(27:33):
it had evolved into discussing constantly sex, kink, polyamory, and castration.
Some of the chat topics featuring male to female transgender surgery,
discussing hair removal, estrogen injections, and the experience of sexual
(27:53):
pleasure post castration. That's what our government employees. We're doing
on a site that the NSA was investing energy and
money to keep private from the public and presumably foreign
(28:14):
interest who might do us harm locally. We've got equal
parts uselessness. ABC thirteen reports in clip number ten that
the Public Works Department can't seem to fix a water
main that's been busted for over five months, but they
(28:36):
did admit, yeah, we're aware. We're aware it's busted. We've
been aware for five months, and we're not gonna fix
it now.
Speaker 9 (28:47):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
If that's because they're on sex chats. I don't know
if they're busy taking bribes. I don't know if they're
busy visiting their buddies who worked for them a few
weeks ago, who are now in prison under the Turner administration.
Speaker 9 (28:59):
We just know they're not fixing the waterman.
Speaker 11 (29:02):
Resident here at Tellison that she has called three one
one four times within just the last few months. Go
ahead and take a look at this right behind me.
You can see that water just keeps gushing, and people
walking through the area are just avoiding this corner at
all costs, they tell me, because that water just keeps
flowing onto the streets. And the same resident tells me
she noticed the leak in late August and called three
(29:22):
to one one in September to report it.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
After it wasn't fixed.
Speaker 11 (29:26):
In fact, according to the city's website, there was a
case number dating back to mid September. She tells me
she and others have made calls to the city several
times since. I'm also being told people are having trouble
walking along the sidewalk near the leak and also crossing
the street. It's also hard for families to have strollers
for their kids. On top of that, they're worries about
what could potentially happen to the road.
Speaker 8 (29:48):
You can also see the road on that side once
these cars are gone, are just kind of starting to sink.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
And I do worry about a sinkhole. What if we
have a giant sinkhole here?
Speaker 11 (29:57):
Now? So the cities work a public workstip. Arman did
acknowledge the situation. They sent us a statement that reads,
in part quotes, Houston Public Works is aware that the
leak is taking more than five months for repairs and
understands a frustration of seeing water loss in neighborhoods. They
also went out to say our team is dealing with
a backlog of repairs from the city's aging infrastructure, and
(30:18):
that same statement also did say the department is going
to fix the leak next Wednesday and right now they're
also working on adding more crew members as well to
address the issues when it comes to repair times as
well as a city's aging infrastructure.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Meanwhile, my mother went to an HISD school board meeting
at bel Air High School to tell the story of
a child who was being groomed for gender transition at
the school.
Speaker 9 (30:48):
They the school board didn't want to hear it, so
they cut her mic.
Speaker 13 (30:53):
Hi.
Speaker 15 (30:54):
My name is Denise Spell. I'm a mom of four.
I've had a child in HISD before. I'm also the
Chapter two for Moms for Liberty Harris County, and I'm
here tonight to speak on behalf of a parent in HISD.
These are her words. My youngest daughter is now junior
at Belair High School. Within the last two years. We
were shocked to learn that the high school was actively
socially transitioning our daughter by calling her by a different
(31:17):
name in pronouns. On the first day of ninth grade,
my daughter's theater teacher sent home an information sheet for
us to fill out. The second line of the sheet
asked for her pronouns. Multiple teachers started calling her by
a different name in pronounce One teacher even went as
far as to cross out my daughter's legal name that
she had written on her paper and write her chosen
(31:38):
name in red ink. This occurred without our knowledge and
certainly without our consent. This goes against our Christian faith,
the advice of her therapist, and quite frankly, common sense
we met with her teachers, counselors, and the principal to
no avail HISD is purposely and secretively transitioning Minor.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Cut her mic. You know, if you're on the board
of trustees of HISD, that's like the board of directors
of a company. You're not at the school all day
every day. You are providing oversight and a general vision.
You're not there at the school delivering educational services, so
(32:24):
you have to rely on whistleblowers and constituents or stakeholders
as they love to say, to tell you what the
hell's going on. Now, you've got a woman who's come
down to do just that, and you're choosing to.
Speaker 9 (32:40):
Go, yep, that's it, Time up, get on out of hair,
shut her.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Down because you don't want to hear that, because you
don't want to address it, don't.
Speaker 9 (32:54):
I think the woman's name was Denise Bell. Is that
what I heard?
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Harris County Moms for Liberty. If somebody can put me
in touch with her, I'd like to put some air
under this story. My email address is through the website
Michael Barryshow dot com, and let's say send Michael an
email and either have Denise Bell herself do it, or
you do it and send me her phone number. I
would like to explore this story more. And if they're
(33:22):
going to cut her mic, we have a few more
people listening than they do, and we're going to call
out each HISD school board member by name who did
not stand up and say, wait a minute, wait a minute.
If this is even ten percent true, this is very troubling.
Let's get this story on the record and let's get
it investigated. Which as I understand, they did not so
(33:43):
laws in your court Denise Bell, and great job by
the way.
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So Michael Verie Show is on the air to walk
us through a typical day for you. Yeah, it's great.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Well, I generally come in at least fifteen minutes late
that I just sort of space out for about an hour.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
I just stare at my desk, but it looks like
I'm working.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
I do that for probably another hour after launch too.
I'd say in a given week, I probably only do
about fifteen minutes of real actual work. The thing is, Bob,
it's not that I'm lazy, It's that I just don't
care working.
Speaker 4 (00:46):
Not five bottle verse.
Speaker 5 (00:51):
Just tell us about this email and what it was
like receiving it and what you all have talked about
after getting it.
Speaker 6 (00:58):
I got this email Saturday afternoon, about three pm, and
I felt absolutely infuriated getting this email with a demand
within forty eight hours to provide a response and what
I did within the last week or face termination.
Speaker 7 (01:18):
Managers that had to be in office yesterday, and we
waited there all day until maybe twelve one o'clock and
then it was kind of like a fire and range.
They mined us up, took our equipment, and.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Sent us home. His pride and passion, taking away, yes
and fine, so taking it again.
Speaker 8 (01:43):
Days you mine and you nene A get credit gets fine.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I'll admit I'm a little bit obsessed on this laying
off the government employees and it gets me as a
woman that went on I can't remember seeing NMSNBC.
Speaker 9 (02:03):
It's all the same.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
But she's talking about the fact that she had to
respond within forty eight hours what she had done this
past week, and this wasn't enough time. She wasn't able
to It's unfair. She was insulted. But you had time.
Speaker 9 (02:28):
To book yourself on a.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
TV show, get to a studio, get makeup done and
all dressed up for it, and do the interview before
that forty eight hours elapsed. I think you had time
to fill out your report. Yeah, but of course it's
(02:51):
not about the time. What we're seeing now is something
that if we were to discuss, would be hard to explain.
But when it's laid bare on exhibition on national TV,
it becomes quite abundantly clear, and that is that government
workers don't feel they should be held accountable because they
(03:17):
never have been. They are the most entitled, they're better
than you. This is the mindset of the inspector. When
you're going, dude, it's eight inches from the wall and
you want it to be nine inches. That's going to
cost me twenty eight thousand dollars. It's going to delay
(03:37):
my project for six months.
Speaker 9 (03:39):
I don't care. This is the mindset. You're seeing it
as clearly as possible, the idea. It's like a simmering.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
What do they call that when people go to work.
Speaker 9 (03:57):
Young people brag that they do it like quiet or
something like that. You remember the term for that, Huh, No,
it's quitting.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Quitting they call it where where you basically don't care
that you get fired, so you just show up, don't
do anything until they finally you just don't put anything in.
And young people, some young people are very proud of that.
That's kind of what these government employees have been doing forever.
I remember at the city, I'd have people tell me.
I'd say, hey, we're having problems with old Sam Sami Badrin,
(04:29):
and I shouldn't say that's probably somebody's name with old
Sam Samon Badron and public works, and we can't get
him to get his work done. And we got people
complaining about it that are trying to get projects going,
and they'd say, counselmen, we.
Speaker 9 (04:48):
We can't get him to do anything.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Well, let's get him fired. Hadn't anybody been fired here
in forever? And if nobody is ever fired in an organization,
that organization is not going to be at maximum efficiency.
People get mad about let's take Bregman. They're upset, although
(05:11):
people are not as upset as I thought they would
have been.
Speaker 9 (05:13):
Are you noticing that? People?
Speaker 1 (05:16):
But they'll get upset that you trade a player away
without understanding that if this organization or any organization is
going to perform at peak performance, they are going to
have to be people who don't make it. If everybody
makes the team and everybody gets to play, that's great.
(05:36):
If you're eight but not in the pros and you
know you win the championship, and a good GM is
huddling with a good owner and saying, all right, who contributed,
but is up for a new contract and is not
worth the extra money that we could spend that money
(05:57):
on getting a better person. Well that that kind of
organizational development and maintenance, which it's a constant to do,
is not at play in the government. It doesn't attract
the kind of people with that mindset. It doesn't reward
the kind of people with that mindset, and it doesn't
have specific goals, it doesn't have a clear mission, it
(06:19):
doesn't have a purpose, it doesn't have measurables, and if
you don't have measurables, you're going to get exactly what
you see out of the government. There's a story we'll
get to in just a moment that near NRG Stadium,
residents have been waiting for over five months for a
water main break to be fixed, gallons of water gushing
(06:40):
out since September, and the city has done absolutely nothing.
Public Work says they're aware, there's a league and it's
taken more than five months for repairs. You're aware, and
it's taken more than five months, and you're aware how
long it is.
Speaker 9 (07:02):
And you're not doing anything.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
Remember when the city told us not to run our taps,
not to open the tap when it was cold outside,
which is what you do to keep it from freezing up,
because we had to conserve water. There's your conserve water.
Big raid at Colony Ridge yesterday. We'll get to that
in just a moment. Trey Harris is John Harris, the
(07:29):
CEO out there, put out a statement saying that he
supports this and he's grateful for the efforts of Tom
Homan and the guys. And then old Greg Abbott, as
he always does, got out in front of the parade.
He didn't know what was happening, and he said, yeah,
big raid at Colony Ridge, as if he had done
something about it. Oh, well, that's interesting. The same Colony
(07:51):
Ridge you took all that money from the Harris Boys
for the same Colony Ridge that had been donating so
any dollars to your account. Did you have no idea
what was going on out there or.
Speaker 9 (08:05):
Did you just choose to look the other way?
Speaker 1 (08:08):
The same Colony Ridge that we've had people from all
over the country calling.
Speaker 9 (08:12):
Us that they're aware of it, and you've done nothing.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
This came from the Feds, by the way, Oh can
I can I get credit for it?
Speaker 9 (08:20):
Take a eighty for five percent of people want Okay.
Speaker 2 (08:23):
We're for it, everybody, greg An here, We're for it.
Speaker 7 (08:25):
Just put that on a Michael Barris so Michael Berry show.
Speaker 9 (08:39):
I've never understood what that song's about.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
The owner of a New Jersey spa is arrested for
running a brothel out of the business. Yeah, yeah, I
just want you to understand the spa is not technically
supposed to be a brothel, is just supposed to be
a spa, because you might have caught yourself thinking when
(09:03):
I thought they were the same thing.
Speaker 9 (09:06):
But that's not why the story is going viral.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
A bust of a spa that's really a brothel.
Speaker 9 (09:16):
It's not national news.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
The reason the story has gone viral is that the
owner's name is s n first name, b A N
G last name. The fella's name is Soon Bang. You
go see Soon Bang? How long will it take? Soon Bang?
Speaker 9 (09:42):
Take care of you fast?
Speaker 1 (09:44):
In addition to that, the woman arrested for prostitution at
the spa is sixty seven years old. Soon Bang sixty
three is the owner of the Oasis Spa spa in Denville,
New Jersey, and he's been arrested accused of promoting prostitution
at his business. Yushun Lee, sixty seven, is accused of
(10:09):
engaging in sexual activity for money at the establishment. According
to North Jersey dot Com, on February fifteenth, the Denville
Police Department executed a search warrant at the Oasis Spa
and at Bang's Fairview residence. A large quantity of US
currency was found in Popo say it is indicative of prostitution.
(10:30):
Bang was charged on a summons complaint with third degree
promoting prostitution, second degree money laundering, and the disorderly person's
offense of engaging with prostitution. Yushun Lee was also charged
by summons complaint with the disorderly person's offense of engaging
with prostitution. We here at the Michael Barry Show have
(10:50):
exclusive undercover audio of sixty seven year old Yushun Lee
negotiating with the client.
Speaker 10 (10:57):
He our friend Vietnam.
Speaker 8 (11:02):
Not just this bit it.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
Well, baby, me so honey, Me so honey.
Speaker 2 (11:10):
Keep lying me love you a long time?
Speaker 11 (11:13):
You pun it.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Yeah, we might party when you are much.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Fifteen dollars. Fifteen dollars, you both say you fifteen dollars
me love you long time?
Speaker 9 (11:25):
I want me so horny.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
You ain't three dollars to bookoo? Five dollars in me
lucky very much one of these days.
Speaker 12 (11:36):
Five dollars so my mom allows me.
Speaker 9 (11:38):
To spend okay, ten dollars each.
Speaker 8 (11:43):
What do we get for ten dollars? Every thing? You want?
Speaker 2 (11:48):
Everything?
Speaker 13 (11:49):
E three too.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
It's funny what leads to prostitution in different parts of
the country. In New Jersey, it could be a pedicure.
In Ohio, it's ice fishing.
Speaker 14 (12:00):
The mayor of the City of Hudson is in the
spotlight for saying ice fishing could lead to prostitution. That
comment was made during a discussion on allowing residents to
ice fish on Hudson and Springs Lake. Our lydia Espara
has reaction.
Speaker 12 (12:14):
If you live in northeast Ohio, ice fishing is as
popular as snowboarding. Hudson resident Michael Whittaker has been fishing
in this hole his entire life and didn't notice the
sign that recently went up.
Speaker 11 (12:27):
I've been ice fish year forever, Like there's like this
is a this is my spot, you know.
Speaker 2 (12:32):
He told our Carl Bachtel.
Speaker 12 (12:34):
He wrote city council to ask why it was banned,
and he was surprised at Hudson's Mayor, Craig Schubert's comments
about the topic that even had the fish flipping.
Speaker 14 (12:45):
And if you then allow ice fishing with shanties, then
that leads to another problem, prostitution.
Speaker 12 (12:53):
A comment so shocking that even council President Chris Foster's
face tells the story that this could be a fishtail.
Speaker 15 (13:01):
And now you got the police chief and the police department.
Speaker 2 (13:03):
Invaulved And I see you laughing already.
Speaker 10 (13:06):
Well, I yes, and I shouldn't laugh when people bring
concerns up.
Speaker 12 (13:12):
Kate Chateleman is word one council person and she says
this is not the first time the mayor has made
controversial statements.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
What has he said before?
Speaker 10 (13:21):
We actually last ball, he went to a school board
meeting and demanded the resignation of five school board members
because the prompts being used in a creative writing class
were considered pornography.
Speaker 12 (13:32):
Shalleman says the comments led to death threats to several
board members, and this one has now gone viral. Whitaker
isn't taking the bait. He knows ice fishing can be dangerous.
You fish at your own risk, but the sport is
worth fighting for it.
Speaker 9 (13:49):
Because it's addicting.
Speaker 10 (13:50):
There's no reason that it should be this fun to
catch four inch bluego through an eight inch hole.
Speaker 12 (13:54):
And the mayor should reel in his comments that ice
fishing and shanties lead to constitution.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
We'll be out there to get away from women. Some
of us, I don't know.
Speaker 12 (14:05):
Man Lydia Spira three news.
Speaker 9 (14:09):
If only Soon Bang had filmed.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
You Shoon Lee sixty seven years old and her clients,
If only he had filmed them and sold the film,
it wouldn't have been prostitution.
Speaker 9 (14:24):
Oh, Chris, you can't always believe what you hear.
Speaker 8 (14:27):
For example, everybody thinks that prostitution is illegal, but there
are always around it.
Speaker 1 (14:32):
All right, let's do it.
Speaker 7 (14:35):
Told.
Speaker 11 (14:35):
If you were under arrest for prostitution, it's not prostitution.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
You paid her to have sex. No, I paid her.
Speaker 11 (14:41):
To have sex and we're filming it, so technically it's
not prostitution.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
It's a porno.
Speaker 5 (14:46):
Oh well, as long as you're filming and selling it,
it's legal.
Speaker 9 (14:50):
Enjoy your day.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
Remember, kids, she's not a if she's an actress.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
The fella's name is Soun Bang Man. How perfect was that?
Maybe his parents had forethought or maybe soon Bang means
something there that it just doesn't mean here, but it
translates beautifully.
Speaker 9 (15:12):
Asian names. You gotta love them. Remember those Asian pilots
who crashed the plane.
Speaker 5 (15:17):
You have new information now. Also on the plane crash,
k TV has just learned the names of the four
pilots who are on board the flight. They are Captain
some Ting, Wong We Too Low, Ho Lee Fuk and
Bang dang Ao. The NTSB has confirmed these are the
names of the pilots on board Flight two fourteen when
(15:38):
it crashed. We are working to determine exactly what roles
each of them played during the landing. On Saturday, it
was confirmed.
Speaker 9 (15:47):
It was confirmed. They had confirmed the names. That's true,
they had.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
Confirmed the names. It was all a prank from an
intern and he pulled it off. That guy would be
a lot of fun. You know, every time I hear
those names, I laugh at a different one and then
and then it hits. You wait a second, the four
names are as they're going down, and then they hit
and then you realize the absolute genius of the telling
(16:13):
of the story through the names. Do it again, Ramon,
you have.
Speaker 5 (16:18):
New information now also on the plane crash. K TV
has just learned the names of the four pilots who
are on board the flight. They are Captain some Ting,
Wong We Too Low, to f and Bang dang Out.
The NTSB has confirmed these are.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
The name.
Speaker 9 (16:53):
Ramon, how did the st D escape from the hospital
on crotches?
Speaker 2 (17:00):
All right?
Speaker 1 (17:00):
So the raid on Colony Ridge yesterday and CEO, John Harris,
he's the brother of Trey Harris, who the fellow was.
Our guest puts out a statement saying, yeah, yeah, no, no.
Speaker 9 (17:13):
We're good.
Speaker 1 (17:14):
We're very very supportive of your efforts.
Speaker 16 (17:18):
Khou with the story In Colony Ridge, video from a
resident shows officials seemingly making an arrest and in this
neighborhood Something. Similardo says he and his family witness a
truck being pulled over at seven am in front of
his home, taking this photo where you can see what
appears to be law enforcement officials and men with their
hands behind their backs.
Speaker 9 (17:38):
They basically forced them out.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
My neighbor.
Speaker 1 (17:41):
He was screaming at them, basically saying that to not speak,
to not resist.
Speaker 16 (17:49):
His parents are now afraid.
Speaker 9 (17:51):
They were just scared.
Speaker 4 (17:52):
Day.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
We're crying.
Speaker 16 (17:53):
This a few hours before Governor Abbott announced ice operations
targeting this community. Quote criminals and illegal imigrants here. We
saw Homeland security in the area something. Residents tell us
they noticed a lot today.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
I know good people in this area, good families, not
all our criminals.
Speaker 16 (18:11):
Pastor William Yanna at Santi Stevan Episcopal Church says he's
gotten several calls from members of his congregation.
Speaker 2 (18:18):
Very scare, very very scare, especially the kids.
Speaker 16 (18:21):
Says that is Spinosa with Fiel made their way here
to inform the community of their rights, noticing what he
says were over a dozen traffic stops by DPS.
Speaker 17 (18:29):
Twelve stops in about an hour is not normal. There's
something happening in.
Speaker 16 (18:33):
This Espinosa says. Operations like this cause unnecessary fear in
the community.
Speaker 17 (18:38):
We encouraged the governor to do his job, to have
DPS with your job and do proper investigations to get
to the actual criminals, not just cast a wide open edwork.
Speaker 16 (18:48):
Now, within the last hour, I did hear back from
Colony Ridge and they sent us a statement that says
they are grateful for the effort to root out quote
criminal illegals in Texas and that DPS officers have been
working throughout the area for more than two years, saying
they know who the bad guys are and that they
fully support these efforts.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Is it just me or did that pastor sound like
Consuela the Maid and Family guy?
Speaker 2 (19:13):
Jeez, can you give me a break here?
Speaker 8 (19:15):
I clean toilet?
Speaker 12 (19:16):
What I clean toilet?
Speaker 2 (19:18):
What are you doing? I'm on the Joinea, please leave.
Okay this trash trash what No, that's a functioning lamp. No,
he's okay, I take home.
Speaker 9 (19:35):
What the hell is happening right now?
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Let's see if Jim can lay Consuela the maid next
to that pastor side by side and uh and see
if they don't sound exactly the same. This could be
six oh four Houston gronde Gole was some actual reporting
here on the Texas lotto rigging scandal. I was sent
(20:03):
a video from a mutual friend with Dan Patrick, the
Lieutenant Governor, and Dan Patrick was out at a.
Speaker 9 (20:13):
I guess it was a.
Speaker 1 (20:14):
Convenience store on one side and another business on the back.
And when I saw it, my immediate thought was, what's
the lieutenant governor doing out at a site like this.
We've got people to do investigations. But then I saw
it and I thought, well, this is a pretty good
(20:35):
way to bring attention to a problem. And it was
basically laid out to suggest quite clearly that in the
same square footage, when you just took the perimeter of
the building, they sold the ticket and the person lived
or worked that won the ticket one.
Speaker 9 (20:56):
Of the chances.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
And I'm told now that this is starting to e
merge that we're going to find out that there's more
of this that the and it's outside. It's foreign influences
who are coming in, and it's like, you know, we're
talking Ocean's eleven kind of stuff. It's worth the time
to set up these schemes because you're talking eighty ninety
million dollars at a pop.
Speaker 9 (21:18):
Here was the Houston Chronicle story.
Speaker 8 (21:20):
On Wednesday, a panel of state officials gathered to talk
about the Texas Lottery Commission's budget, but the hearing quickly
turned into something else.
Speaker 4 (21:27):
And then somebody showed up with about eleven million dollars
in cash to buy tickets. Would you consider that an
ordinary operation?
Speaker 2 (21:39):
That's right.
Speaker 8 (21:40):
Suddenly lawmakers wanted to hear more about the operation we've
been writing about for nearly a year. In April twenty
twenty three, a single lottery player calling itself Rook Texas,
guaranteed it would win the ninety five million dollars Lotto
Texas jackpot by buying up every number combination. More than
twenty five million tickets. By our calculations, were clear to
twenty min million dollar profit. We reported how the Texas
(22:03):
Lottery Commission went out of its way to help the
operations organizers, but lawmakers saw a bigger potential problem.
Speaker 18 (22:09):
If I was trying to launder money in this country,
I would buy twenty five million dollars worth of lottery tickets.
This is ninety nine percent probability of money laundry.
Speaker 8 (22:19):
Lottery commissioners, who are appointed by gog Berner Greg Abbott agreed.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
To answer your question, yes, that that sounds incredibly.
Speaker 8 (22:28):
Irregular, And for the first time since we've covered this story,
the lottery's director admitted that maybe helping a single buyer
arranged to win a guaranteed jackpot win wasn't such a
great idea.
Speaker 11 (22:38):
I think it definitely hurt the integrity and perception of that.
Speaker 8 (22:42):
Game and all that was before the real bombshell dropped.
Speaker 13 (22:45):
I'm here today as legal counsel to make the following
statement on behalf of a client group victimized by a
long running criminal conspiracy between the Texas Lottery Commission, former
lottery director Gary grief Igt, and the publicly traded navesback
Companylottery dot com.
Speaker 8 (23:02):
In a letter read to legislators, a group of aggrieved
investors called the April twenty twenty three Lotto Texas draw,
the biggest money long during scheme in global lottery history.
The Senator seemed alarmed that the Lottery Commission hadn't already
started investigating.
Speaker 9 (23:18):
Let me ask you us a question, then, do you
think you should receive priority?
Speaker 2 (23:22):
Yes, sir.
Speaker 8 (23:23):
They also called out the Lottery Commission's recently retired director
for allowing the controversial buy.
Speaker 16 (23:28):
And Gary Grief was the executive director at the time
and pretty much seemed like turned a blind eye to this.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
If not was eighteen and helping.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
This, then they called in the big guns. We just
need to call them Texas rangers immediately.
Speaker 8 (23:45):
You can read more about the hearing and how a
single buyer stacked the odds in a Texas lottery game
in the Houston Chronicle. Will be staying on this story.
Speaker 9 (23:55):
You know well.
Speaker 1 (23:57):
Senator Bob Hall, who has been leading the charge on them,
made a statement quote one step at a time, the
crime syndicate inside the Texas Lottery Commission completely destroyed what
the nineteen ninety two Texas legislature intended to be an
honest game of chance with specific guardrails to protect miners
(24:18):
and addicts. So we can't have legalized gambling in Texas.
There are a couple of reasons. One is some people
will say God doesn't want you to and those same
people love to wink wink, nod nod head to Louisiana
to gamble. Okay, so you're not really opposed to it.
(24:40):
Maybe it makes it more thrilling that it's illegal here.
Speaker 9 (24:43):
And you're breaking the law to go to.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Louisiana to gamble instead of being able to drive twenty
minutes to do it.
Speaker 9 (24:50):
Okay, you need that.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
It's the people who push for the Temperance Union and
like to drink on the side. They it's a fetish,
it's a weirdness, but they do it. And there are
these types of people. But it's also the case that
God want God doesn't want gambling in Texas unless the
Indians do it m or the government runs.
Speaker 9 (25:14):
It and guess what, look how it turned out.
Speaker 2 (25:18):
The Michael Mary Show.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
Rarely this film penetrate so deeply that after you see something.
The example I would give is Singing in the Rain
from Clockwork Orange. You can never hear the Whimsicals singing
in the rain again. After the scene in Clockwork Orange
(25:51):
where they beat the dude into paralysis, the same.
Speaker 9 (25:55):
You will always at least that for me, I always have.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
I can never hear this song again, which I had
probably heard a thousand times before that movie and not.
Speaker 9 (26:08):
Envisioned there you know what was the four or five
part harmony.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
The NSSA has now confirmed that they are investigating employees
quote secret sex chats, as Elon posted when the story broke.
Now we know what the employees were doing last week.
Maybe that's why they couldn't tell us. Chris Ruffo, has
(26:36):
been a guest on the show before, has revealed from
his investigation that an NSA spokesman had quote confirmed the
authenticity of the secret sex chat and the agency was
taking administrative action against the employees who had reportedly abused
the system. And what exactly supposedly happened is that you've
(27:01):
got government employees who are using a.
Speaker 9 (27:05):
Private chat channel.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
A former NSA employee and a current NSA employee provided
chat logs from the NSA's into Link messaging program. This
is a secured messaging program supposedly that the Chinese or
the media can't hack. But instead the site had been
taken over by the LGBTQ community within the group, and
(27:33):
it had evolved into discussing constantly sex, kink, polyamory, and castration.
Some of the chat topics featuring male to female transgender surgery,
discussing hair removal, estrogen injections, and the experience of sexual
(27:53):
pleasure post castration. That's what our government employees. We're doing
on a site that the NSA was investing energy and
money to keep private from the public and presumably foreign
(28:14):
interest who might do us harm locally. We've got equal
parts uselessness. ABC thirteen reports in clip number ten that
the Public Works Department can't seem to fix a water
main that's been busted for over five months, but they
(28:36):
did admit, yeah, we're aware. We're aware it's busted. We've
been aware for five months, and we're not gonna fix
it now.
Speaker 9 (28:47):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
If that's because they're on sex chats. I don't know
if they're busy taking bribes. I don't know if they're
busy visiting their buddies who worked for them a few
weeks ago, who are now in prison under the Turner administration.
Speaker 9 (28:59):
We just know they're not fixing the waterman.
Speaker 11 (29:02):
Resident here at Tellison that she has called three one
one four times within just the last few months. Go
ahead and take a look at this right behind me.
You can see that water just keeps gushing, and people
walking through the area are just avoiding this corner at
all costs, they tell me, because that water just keeps
flowing onto the streets. And the same resident tells me
she noticed the leak in late August and called three
(29:22):
to one one in September to report it.
Speaker 2 (29:25):
After it wasn't fixed.
Speaker 11 (29:26):
In fact, according to the city's website, there was a
case number dating back to mid September. She tells me
she and others have made calls to the city several
times since. I'm also being told people are having trouble
walking along the sidewalk near the leak and also crossing
the street. It's also hard for families to have strollers
for their kids. On top of that, they're worries about
what could potentially happen to the road.
Speaker 8 (29:48):
You can also see the road on that side once
these cars are gone, are just kind of starting to sink.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
And I do worry about a sinkhole. What if we
have a giant sinkhole here?
Speaker 11 (29:57):
Now? So the cities work a public workstip. Arman did
acknowledge the situation. They sent us a statement that reads,
in part quotes, Houston Public Works is aware that the
leak is taking more than five months for repairs and
understands a frustration of seeing water loss in neighborhoods. They
also went out to say our team is dealing with
a backlog of repairs from the city's aging infrastructure, and
(30:18):
that same statement also did say the department is going
to fix the leak next Wednesday and right now they're
also working on adding more crew members as well to
address the issues when it comes to repair times as
well as a city's aging infrastructure.
Speaker 1 (30:32):
Meanwhile, my mother went to an HISD school board meeting
at bel Air High School to tell the story of
a child who was being groomed for gender transition at
the school.
Speaker 9 (30:48):
They the school board didn't want to hear it, so
they cut her mic.
Speaker 13 (30:53):
Hi.
Speaker 15 (30:54):
My name is Denise Spell. I'm a mom of four.
I've had a child in HISD before. I'm also the
Chapter two for Moms for Liberty Harris County, and I'm
here tonight to speak on behalf of a parent in HISD.
These are her words. My youngest daughter is now junior
at Belair High School. Within the last two years. We
were shocked to learn that the high school was actively
socially transitioning our daughter by calling her by a different
(31:17):
name in pronouns. On the first day of ninth grade,
my daughter's theater teacher sent home an information sheet for
us to fill out. The second line of the sheet
asked for her pronouns. Multiple teachers started calling her by
a different name in pronounce One teacher even went as
far as to cross out my daughter's legal name that
she had written on her paper and write her chosen
(31:38):
name in red ink. This occurred without our knowledge and
certainly without our consent. This goes against our Christian faith,
the advice of her therapist, and quite frankly, common sense
we met with her teachers, counselors, and the principal to
no avail HISD is purposely and secretively transitioning Minor.
Speaker 2 (31:57):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Cut her mic. You know, if you're on the board
of trustees of HISD, that's like the board of directors
of a company. You're not at the school all day
every day. You are providing oversight and a general vision.
You're not there at the school delivering educational services, so
(32:24):
you have to rely on whistleblowers and constituents or stakeholders
as they love to say, to tell you what the
hell's going on. Now, you've got a woman who's come
down to do just that, and you're choosing to.
Speaker 9 (32:40):
Go, yep, that's it, Time up, get on out of hair,
shut her.
Speaker 1 (32:43):
Down because you don't want to hear that, because you
don't want to address it, don't.
Speaker 9 (32:54):
I think the woman's name was Denise Bell. Is that
what I heard?
Speaker 1 (32:58):
Harris County Moms for Liberty. If somebody can put me
in touch with her, I'd like to put some air
under this story. My email address is through the website
Michael Barryshow dot com, and let's say send Michael an
email and either have Denise Bell herself do it, or
you do it and send me her phone number. I
would like to explore this story more. And if they're
(33:22):
going to cut her mic, we have a few more
people listening than they do, and we're going to call
out each HISD school board member by name who did
not stand up and say, wait a minute, wait a minute.
If this is even ten percent true, this is very troubling.
Let's get this story on the record and let's get
it investigated. Which as I understand, they did not so
(33:43):
laws in your court Denise Bell, and great job by
the way.
