Speaker 1 (00:03):
What we need is more common sense.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
Breaking down the world's nonsense about how American common sense.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
Will see us through with the common sense of Houston.
I'm just pro common sense for Houston. From Houston dot com.
This is the Jimmy Barrett Show, brought to you by
viewind dot Com.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Now here's Jimmy Barrett.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
All right, where should we begin to I know where
exactly where we should begin today? Let's talk about Lena
hill Dago. Yes, lockdown, Lena. Where the world is Lena
hill Dago? She is, She's here right now, but this
evidently is not where she wishes to be. She wishes
to be in Paris, France. Bonjour, welcome to Pali. What
(00:54):
is it you want to do here? Where I get davaunt?
I'm mixing accents anyway. Never was very good at the
French accident. I was never very good at French period.
What did you take a foreign language in school? I
should have taken Spanish number one. It's easier. Number two.
It would have come in a lot more handy considering
the fact I ended up here in Houston. And number
(01:17):
three I just I could not grasp French. I just
it just didn't work for me I was not a
very good French student. I struggled through it. I think
I got to c but you know, that's about all
I can say for it, and I remember very little
of it now. I mean, I remember the simple words
(01:38):
like boneuur au revoir. I remember all the excuses back
when we had Tom Ramsay on the show this morning
talking about this Lena Hildago boondoggle that she's trying to
pull off a trip to Paris, and I shared this.
It was a jamal la tet that means I have
a headache, Jamala la gorge means I have a sore throat,
(02:00):
and jemal e lestomac means I have a stomach ache. Basically,
all the excuses on why I couldn't get my homework done,
I memorized those. I had no problem with those, but yeah,
the rest of it didn't come so easily. I've only
been to France once. He was part of a cruise
at an Italian cruise that we went on, and it
(02:21):
was like he was the south of France. And all
I remember is that my wife very politely asked the
police officer in French, I might add, not very good French,
but in French where the bakery was, and he just
refused to talk to her. He was just as rude
(02:42):
as rude could be. The French generally do not like Americans.
So I'm not quite sure why Lena hill Dago wants
to go to France to be in solved. Evidently, she
claims she wants to go there and spend twenty three
three hundred dollars to go there so that she can
tout our innovation and Parris County and UH and artificial intelligence.
(03:03):
And I'm guessing it's a topic she has to know
anything about eat one of those things. All all that
she knows is is that she has a chance to
grab a couple of people and go to Paris, and
that's what she wants to do. So I thought, okay, well,
if you're if you're really in the mood for a trip, Lena,
then I'm sure there are some places that we would
be willing to spend money to send you. Hell came
(03:27):
to mind for me. My suggestion was, you know, there's
there's there's Hell, Michigan. Uh, and it does. It has
something called the damn site end and it's maybe one
of the few Hell, one of the few Hells that
freezes over in the wintertime, although there's also a Hell, Norway,
which I'm pretty sure is even colder than that. Uh,
(03:47):
there's a Hell California, but that's a ghost town. And
there's a Hell in Grand Cayman Islands.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
That's no.
Speaker 4 (03:54):
I don't think we want to send her anywhere tropical.
If we're going to send her to Hell, this send
her to a legitimate Hell. But anyway, I asked our
listeners this morning where you would be willing to spend
taxpayer money to send Lena hilldogo, and here are a
few of your responses. I just sent her to Galveston
and I'm just just stay in Galveston.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
Good morning, Jimmy. I'd like to send Lena Hidalgo to
Point Nemo.
Speaker 5 (04:19):
That's that would be a great place for her.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
You'll have a good morning.
Speaker 6 (04:23):
I tell you why.
Speaker 7 (04:23):
I like getting Lena Hilldalgo right down to d D.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
This is Jacob from Crosby. I think we should all
pitch in a book or two to send her to
her destination. Just as long as she doesn't come back
and she cuts all ties to Herris County.
Speaker 8 (04:43):
Trump says, so they got reopening Alcatraz and it'll be
a bad idea for Lena saying.
Speaker 9 (04:49):
Hey, Jimmy, it's from summer Wood.
Speaker 10 (04:51):
Let's send her to Gaza and she can just stay
over there.
Speaker 11 (04:55):
Thanks, have a great.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Day, Gaza. That'd be that'd be a fun trip. Again.
The key to this is these all need to be
one way tickets, right all right?
Speaker 8 (05:02):
This is Bobby Taylor, and I would like to send
Helena Hildago to prison.
Speaker 7 (05:08):
Where she belongs.
Speaker 5 (05:10):
I would like to send Lena Hidalgo straight to Hell,
not Hell, Michigan, but the real thing.
Speaker 8 (05:17):
Hey, Jimmy, if I could send Lena Hidalgo anywhere, it
would be a Russian prison deep in Siberia.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
One way ticket, no way out.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Have a good day.
Speaker 11 (05:29):
Hey, Carla from Silsby.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Lit'st send Lena Hidalgo.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
To Tehran Irene. This mark from Houston. You see lunatic.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
I like the idea of going to Hell.
Speaker 8 (05:42):
Hey, Jimmy Rick from the East Side. So, I don't
know if you've ever watched that show land Man, but
I think that compound that those guys were on and
that show would be a perfect place to send Lena
Hidago and let her see what real work is like.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
Have a good day. Yeah, I've heard a lot of
things about I have not seen land man. And now
now that he told me that they have this compound
that he'd like to see Lena Hildago send to, now
I'm curious, right, all right, couple more?
Speaker 8 (06:10):
Hey, why don't we send her back to the Crazy House?
I heart she liked to visit there from town to time.
Speaker 12 (06:15):
This is Kathy from Kingwood, and I would like to
send Lena to Chicago because she is very like minded
with those people, and that would be a great place
for her.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
We have a good day, you know where else we
could send her?
Speaker 4 (06:27):
If that's yet I agree, you know, we should send
her somewhere where the people think the way she does.
We could send her to AOC's district in New York.
Did you hear about this? Crime in AOC's congressional district
is up seventy percent seven zero seventy percent since she
(06:47):
took office. Of course, she claims it's got nothing to
do with her, right, Yeah, And let's not get crazy
or hysterical about this. Here's aoc h talking about the
increasing crime in her disc drink and response from a
guy who's running for New York City Council from her
disc right, we are.
Speaker 9 (07:05):
Seeing these headlines about percentage increases. Now, I want to
say that any amount of harm is unacceptable and too much,
but I also want to make sure that this hysteria,
you know, that this doesn't drive a hysteria, and that
we look at these numbers in context so that we
can make responsible decisions.
Speaker 10 (07:24):
It's not hysteria, it's a reality. The numbers are showing
what exactly is happening. We have crime happening every single
day here, from violent crime, prostitution, illegal street vending, you
name it, and it's happening here. This has become a
safe haven for criminal activity. Once they open the borders up,
everything got worse and it continues to gradually increase. You know,
(07:48):
in numbers, we have problems here that she is not facing,
and she is not trying to face. She just keeps on,
you know, giving this rhetoric about you know, oh, you
don't cause hysteria. But the reality is here people are scared.
People are afraid to even go to the supermarket just
because of all the criminal activity that we see in
(08:09):
the streets.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Why though, do I get this sneaking suspicion that despite
all that they will re elect her again. That's the
frustrating part, Right. You would think you'd think that people
would learn the correlation between the people they elect and
the results of that election. But they don't seem to
be able to figure that out, not in these blue cities.
All right, back with Vauna moment, Jimmy barhow here on
(08:33):
AM nine fifty KPRC. All Right, I got the FBI
(08:57):
on my mind here today for a couple of reasons
behind it. You know, we talked last week, tail in
the last week about eighty six forty seven, right, James
call me eighty six forty seven. Of course, James Commy
is a former head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
He's one of the ones who just completely politicized that department.
And of course, as it turns out, not that there's
(09:20):
any doubt in my mind that he made those seashells himself,
that eighty six forty seven seashell thing. Hey, this so
I found this on the beach. This is really cool.
He also claimed to have found a big seashell. This
is a different time, but a big seashell is before
the election, a big seashell on the beach painted blue
with you know, vote for Harris. Yeah, I'm sure he
(09:45):
just randomly found that on the beach as well. Evidently
that's what the guy's doing with his free time now,
he's hanging out on the beach and you know, either
painting or posing seashells to send messages. But when you
send a message, it's one thing to send a message
vote for Harris, it's another thing to send the message.
Eighty six forty seven Senator John Kennedy as only he
(10:07):
can explain it on James call me and what James
Comy did, and more importantly, what kind of a person
James Comy is.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
Well.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
I have been around mister Comy a good bit in
the Senate because he's been in front of a lot
of Senate committees. To know mister Comy is to dislike
mister Comy. There's a reason he doesn't get invited to
(10:37):
too many parties. He's a butthead. You know, you can
only be young once, but you can always be immature.
What mister Comy did was immature, but it was more
than that. I think he was trying to seek attention.
(10:57):
Mister Comy has a chip on his shoulder. The chip
on his shoulder has a chip on his shoulder. He
probably single handedly did more to undermine undermine the reputation
of the FBI, which, before mister Comi took over, was
(11:18):
one of the if not the premier organization law enforcement
organizations in the country, in the in the world. I mean,
he it's it's hard to describe how arrogant he is,
as as Lyndon Johnson's used to say, he constructs sitting
(11:40):
down now what he's telling you. I don't know what
was in his head or in his heart. I don't
know if there was any evil intent here, but I
think he was looking for attention, and by God, he got.
Speaker 4 (11:52):
It well he did. I think that the Secret Services
already sat down and talked to him, and hopefully the
Department of Justice, will you take it even further. I
think the best thing you can do to James coming
here is to treat him the way he would have
treated somebody else, not very well, and just make it
(12:14):
as hard on him as as humanly possible. My sneaking suspicion, unfortunately,
is that these people always get away with it, and
he'll probably get away with the two. So the least
we can hope to do here. If there's not going
to be any charges pressed, the least we can hope
to do is to try to make his life a
little bit miserable, like he's trying to make other people's
lives miserable. I mean, if you basically call for a
hit on the President of the United States, then you
(12:36):
know you're a national security risk. That sounds like something
needs to be prosecuted to the full six cent of
the law. Now the FBI is not running that way anymore,
thank god. Cash Bettel's now the head of the FBI.
The deputy director is Dan Bongino. So things have been changing.
But as we find out, things take a while to change.
(12:58):
But I did that. They did, both of them. Battel
and Bongino sat down for I want to say, Maria
Barta Rama on Sunday Morning Futures on Fox Business. I'll
share a little bit of that interview with you. In
this clip, Cash Betel talks about restoring the luster back
to the FBI with transparency, you know, showing the American
(13:21):
public you know exactly what the agency is about down
exactly what it is that they're doing.
Speaker 12 (13:26):
So we have a multipart process. First of all, our
priorities simple crush violent crime, defend the homeland, rigorous organizational accountability,
and the fourth, which leads directly to your question, aggressive
constitutional oversight. With Congress, the way we rebuild trust is
we already have the men and women here in the
(13:46):
rank and file that signed up to be cops, that
sign up to be Intel analysts, that sign up to
be special supports, staff that want to do the work.
That's why we're sending them into the field. We can
talk about that later. Well, we need America to note
is that this place was politico in Congress has rightfully
requested the documents from Crossfire Hurricane to January sixth, to
the Richmond Catholic my moan, and so much more. But
(14:07):
now finally Americans are reading for themselves the documentation where
a very select few leaders in the former FBI decided
to politicize it. We don't need me and the Deputy
telling you it's politicized. We don't have American people to
read it, and now they are. Look, I can speak
to the folks that were in our seats, our predecessors,
and they intentionally failed the American public by putting on
(14:28):
the biggest DC deception game we've ever seen. They said
the FBI was the most storied institution for law enforcement,
and it was and it will be again very soon.
But when the likes of Comy and McCabe and Strock
and company came in here with the James Bakers of
the world and intentionally lied to a federal court only
to rig a presidential election by lying to the American
(14:51):
public and using taxpayer dollars, likely illegally to fund this
entire operation, and then withhold disculpatory information from a federal
court that I used to pireboarf to manhunt terrorists.
Speaker 2 (15:02):
That's what broke the FBI.
Speaker 12 (15:04):
And then when they were caught, they light about it,
and you and a few others like Dan and others
were brave enough to cover it six seven, eight years ago.
And we're still talking about it today because as Congress
is working rigorously with us, the Crossfire Hurricane documents are
coming fast and hard, and they're being sent there unredacted
so we can have full accountability. And that's how you
(15:24):
restore what the trust that was lost to the American
public when it comes to the FBI.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
Hopefully all this happens, Hopefully there is a full accounting
of exactly what happened during those years with the FBI,
so that we know that we're back on the right
track again. And by the way, part of getting back
on the right track again is to work the cases
that really matter. One of the things that both cash
Hotel and Dan Bongino talked about was human trafficking. What
(15:53):
a huge problem human trafficking is, and not just here
in the South where we are, all over the country.
Anywhere where there's an interstate, there's a human trafficking problem.
Here in the United States, here they are.
Speaker 12 (16:05):
It's based on a variety of factors. So when it
comes to trafficking, you've got to look at the interstate
system and look at the intersections of the interstate system
running through the Midwest and across the country. Then you
just got to look for hard evidence. I didn't know
this till my confirmation process, but Memphis, Tennessee is the
homicide capital of America per capita. Didn't know that we
(16:26):
have a problem there. We're now addressing it. We're rolling
out one of our task forces the state of Tennessee.
But we also know that Ohio possesses the roadway system
where the trafficking is through the roof just because of
the interstate. So you have to get out there in
the field. Not just let the FBI agents and intel
folks get out there and do the work, but partner
with state and local law enforcement, which is a priority,
(16:48):
and tribal law enforcement. That's a big, big deal for us.
We are not forgetting about Indian country. They suffer from
the same violent crime that we do in the rest
of America, and we're going to help them. And that's
how you learn the ground based level facts that you
need to to deploy your assets. We're not coming up
with anything fancy. We're just attacking the problem. But we're
smart enough to go after the information and say that's
(17:10):
where the problem is.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Because you told us it's.
Speaker 12 (17:12):
There, now we know we're going.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
That's interesting. What about the big cities.
Speaker 13 (17:16):
I mean, we've heard about Trende Arabwa being in New
York City.
Speaker 6 (17:19):
Where about to ruin your summer if you're a bad guy.
So I'm just warning you now, like, don't buy movie
tickets because you're probably not going to cash them in.
So the director and I put something together in conjunction
with our DOJ partners, General Bondi and Dag Blanche actually
this morning. And if you're a violent criminal, this FBI
and they're our leadership, we don't care what gets the credit.
(17:42):
All we care about is making your streets safer, actually.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
Safer well, and that's priority, right That's what the priority
always was supposed to be, interstate crime, human trafficking being
the biggest among those right now. I mean, if ever
there was an issue for which the FBI was was created,
that's it. And it's a huge problem and it's going
(18:08):
to take a lot of manpower in order to be
able to make that work.
Speaker 2 (18:12):
Now.
Speaker 4 (18:12):
I know that one of the things that Cashpttel had
said coming into the job was that he wanted to
move some of those agents because there's an incredible amount
of agents that are just based in Washington, d C.
I mean him, and trafficking occurs all over the country
and there are ten that there are probably ten fifteen
thousand employees that should be moved out of Washington, d C.
(18:35):
To other parts of the country to combat to combat crime.
So hopefully that's one of the things that he's going
to be working on here in the not too distant future,
you know, taking the FBI and dispersing it better across
the country to take not that the FBI doesn't do
it a pretty decent job. It does, but you know,
you need more manpower. I mean, there's just no doubt
(18:56):
about that. You need more manpower, all right. Coming up,
Texas Public Policy Foundation. You know, there's only one state
right now that has tried to put a dollar figure.
I don't know how accurate the dollar figure is, but
tried to put a dollar figure to the cost of
illegal immigration. I mean, there's so many. We know, for example,
(19:18):
that we spend over a billion dollars here in Texas
trying to secure our own border into the federal government's job.
So there's a billion right there. But do we have
any idea how much money we spend on education in
the public school system of illegals, how much we spend
in our medical profession, in our hospitals, in the emergency
(19:39):
rooms treating illegal immigrants. Yeah, well more in that coming
up in just a moment here on AM nine to
fifty KPRC and the Jimney Bird Show. Immigration costs this
(20:06):
country just hundreds of billions of dollars every year, and
all anybody ever wants to concentrate on it seems, especially
in the mainstream media is the things that we will
supposedly lose if we don't have illegal immigration. Washington Post
had a story about how many Washington DC restaurants might
(20:28):
have to shut down because of immigration enforcement. In other words,
if they are not illegal aliens around to wait on
tables and to bus dishes, then these restaurants are going
to have to close down. And I would be the
first to say that there are probably plenty of restaurants
that would have a difficult time if there weren't illegal
(20:52):
aliens around in order to bust tables, because that's a
job that clearly Americans won't do. But you know what,
there's a reason why Americans won't do that job. They
don't have to do the job because we pay them
so much welfare money in many cases that they don't
even not only do they not work, they don't want
to work, they have no desire to work. And I
(21:14):
thought it was very interesting, good time to play this
audio for you. This is the director of HUD Housing
and Urban Development. One of the things that he is
working on with his new boss the Trump administration is
the way to incentivize incentivize welfare workers, able bodied people,
able body people more than capable of working, who have
(21:35):
no desire to work. They just want to live off
of public assistance. As one of the things that they're
working on here is the uh, the director of HUD.
Let me see if I can find his name real
quick though. No, no, no, no, no, no, no no no.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
I'll get I'll get the name for you.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Here.
Speaker 7 (21:49):
At the end of the interview, the President, my colleagues
from the Senate and the House, this administration will all
take an inventory and get an our fiscal house in order.
As you know to four years before we came, there
were no checks and no balances, no transparency, and a
lack of good stewardship in America's budget and America's fiscal house.
And so along with my colleagues on the Hill, we
(22:12):
here at HUD are taking inventory of every program so
that we could be sufficient and effective in serving the
American people. This is the first step when you talk
about the skinny budget, just the first.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
Step of many in this process.
Speaker 7 (22:23):
Our job here at HUD is to maximize the budget
that we do have and make sure that we're serving
America's people in the critical programs that we have.
Speaker 13 (22:31):
Miss stra you co wrote a New York Times op
ed along with RFK Junior Brook Rawlins, doctor oz you
suggested that there should be new qualifications to receive the
welfare benefits.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
You right, able bodied adults.
Speaker 13 (22:43):
Receiving benefits must work, participating job training, or volunteer in
their communities at least twenty hours a week.
Speaker 7 (22:50):
I think it's a paradigm shift, you know, as well
as I do, work restores dignity. Work brings pride, you know,
and our welfare as system deviated from what it was
inten it to.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Be from its origin.
Speaker 7 (23:01):
It was intended for the most vulnerable to the most
needy in our country. But now we've created welfare as
a lifestyle in our country. And you know, America is
not a welfare state. America is a country of opportunity
and a country of entrepreneurship.
Speaker 2 (23:17):
And so this will help us.
Speaker 7 (23:18):
To encourage able bodied people in America that are receiving
government subsidies to work. You know, there was a study
that came out almost fifty percent of households that are
receiving HUD funds, almost fifty percent, not one person in
that household is working. And that has to change that culture.
(23:39):
That paradigm has to change. At HUD, this is common
sense compassion. We want to help people and invigorate and
encourage people to work.
Speaker 2 (23:48):
Able body people to work.
Speaker 7 (23:49):
We're not talking about the elderly, We're not talking about
those that are disabled. Able body, able minded people that
are receiving HOD funding should go to work.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
It becomes multi generational, you know. That's I think that's
what he means by lifestyle. By the way, the HUDD
secretary's name is Scott Turner, Housing Urban Development head Scott Turner.
You know, anytime you mentioned, you know, making welfare recipients work,
then you get all kinds of racism calls. He's a
(24:20):
he's a black secretary, Okay, he just happens to be
conservative and he understands the correlation there. I mean, we
could get into an entire we could do an entire
hour talking about the history of the welfare system and
going all the way back to LBJ and the rules
that they put in place that basically have destroyed in particular,
(24:44):
black families in this country. You know, where you were
penalized for having a father in the house. And we
could go on and on and on and on and
on and how that's you know, how that has created
a generational situation here where you've got you know, you know, basically,
you know, the majority of families don't have a father
in the family. If if you take a look at
(25:04):
these welfare families, the majority of them don't have a
father and a mother. And I realize there are people
who don't think that's important. I still do in a
perfect world, do you have both a mom and a dad,
not just a mom, although these moms I'm sure doing
the best they can. It's not good to just have
a dad either. You know, in a perfect world, you
have a mom and a dad. Perfect world doesn't end
(25:27):
up that way all the time, but at least we
should strive for it, and we kind of get back
to that more traditional nuclear family. We're going to have
these kinds of problems, all right. Let me get back
onto the cost of immigration though, because the cost of
immigration is minimally a billion dollars for the state of
Texas just you know, just in trying to secure the
border that the federal government would not for us. We
(25:50):
have no idea how many kids, how many illegal alien
children we are teaching and paying for in this country,
even here in Texas. I mean we know that, you know,
we have millions and millions of students. The question is
what percentage of them are here legally versus here illegally?
(26:12):
What about our hospitals in our waiting rooms. Amon Blair
is with the Texas Senior Advisor. By the way, the
Texas Public Policy Foundation had him on our morning show
today in katrh and we talked about all this. Here
he is, and here's this interview. I'd love to know
how much we spend as a state on illegal immigrants
and education every year. But the problem is is our
(26:32):
public schools don't bother to ask your immigration status when
you're a student, so they kind of, you know, they
probably have an idea how many of their students are illegals,
but they have no actual headcount. Amon Blair joins us
Senior Fellow with the Texas Public Policy Foundation. You have
an idea how much if we were to put everything
(26:53):
together here in Texas, how much we've spent so far?
Speaker 14 (26:57):
Good morning, no sir. Unfortunately, the comprehensive report that has
been published was by Fair and it was also reported
by doje elon Mustoge and I was about one hundred
and fifty point seven billion dollars comprehensively.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Okay, is that for the entire country or just for Texas.
Speaker 14 (27:17):
No, that's just for the entire country. The only thing
that we have is if you remember last year, Governor
Rabbit ordered Texas hospitals to ask all patients starting November first,
to disclose whether they were quote lawfully president in the
United States. Well, the Texas hospitals, they just published that
data on April twenty fifth, and just for the November alone,
(27:38):
there was one hundred and twenty one point eight million
dollars in health care costs to the taxpayer.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
Well, and you know, and I'm guessing too that if
I were legal illegally here in this country, if I
was undocumented and I wasn't supposed to be here, and
I was in a place like a hospital, and I
got asked that question, I might be sorely tempted to,
you know, to not either not add to the question
or the answer the question. And correctly, unless somebody's asking
(28:04):
for proof of me being here legally.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
Yes, that's correct.
Speaker 14 (28:08):
Yeah, we really don't know the accuracy.
Speaker 4 (28:10):
Of that data.
Speaker 14 (28:10):
We don't know whether they did or do not. Just
like in Florida and Florida they give you three options
whether you're legal, illegal, or you're not going to be
willing to respond. And so those are your three options
in Florida itself.
Speaker 4 (28:23):
Yeah, okay, well I'm guessing I get a lot of
not willing to respond. So it's it's unless unless we
require some sort of proof, there's no way to get
a really good handle on it. And I don't know,
maybe maybe in some ways we're afraid to find out
what the real figure is. You know, I have I
have my own thoughts on public education. As I mentioned,
you know in the intro for this, Aman Blair, that
(28:46):
you know, we don't really ask that question because the
school's figure it's their job to educate everybody, regardless of immigration, says,
so they don't bother to ask the question. But it's
got to be in the billions of dollars each and
every school year.
Speaker 14 (29:01):
Yes, sir, whether that's from education, healthcare to law enforcement
infrastructure like you mentioned earlier. And that's why there's a
few bills that are up in our current legislative site
session this year. However, they're being stalled. You have like
Senate Bill eight twenty fives that mandates a study on
the cost of illegal immigration inside the inside of Texas.
(29:23):
And then you also have a House built two five
weeks seven that was filed by Represented Bocott that actually
codifies what Governor Abbott mandated to Texas hospitals, but that
was point of ordered on the House floor on the
thirteenth of May. And so both of those bills that
are trying to codify the just an understanding of the
(29:46):
costs are being stalled by which is weird a Republican House,
Republican Senate, and a Republican majority in Texas well.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
Unfortunately, it's not weird here in Texas because we have
stilled too many rhinos in both in both bodies, and
they do what the Democrats want them to do, and
right now, then this is a nature of Democrats want
slow walked at the very least, let's just play this
out until the session ends. And so far they're pretty
effective at it, aren't they?
Speaker 14 (30:13):
Oh one hundred percentres So, like, if you don't have data,
then all you do is go based off of stories
that are emotionally based, and so you can actually make
policy decisions based off of emotions as opposed to data.
And that's why these bills are so important. That's why
the data is so important.
Speaker 4 (30:31):
Okay, Well, hopefully we as taxpayers in the great state
of Texas, will put more pressure on the state legislature.
Thanks for your time, sir, appreciate it, senior fellow of
the Texas Public Policy Foundation. That's Amon Blair. There you go.
But no, the state legislature is not going to get
it done. Yeah, frustrating, just beyond frustrating. All right, quick,
(30:52):
a little break we have to do that. Why am
I stuttering so much today?
Speaker 2 (30:56):
Quick?
Speaker 4 (30:56):
A little break back with more moment Jimmy Bart Show,
AM nine fifty eight.
Speaker 2 (31:00):
Here s.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
All right, we will do our final segment today. On
a weird note. This is a strange story. You might
not have even noticed that it happened because it happened
over the weekend. And if you're like me, you take
a little bit of a news hiatus over the weekend.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
I know I do.
Speaker 4 (31:28):
I don't pay a whole lot of attention from the
time I get out of here on a Friday afternoon
until early early early Monday morning, when I'm getting ready
for the morning show on kt R H. In between,
I just liked I like, like everybody else, I'd like
to relax on the weekend.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
I don't want to know.
Speaker 4 (31:47):
Unless unless it's an assassination attempt of the president just
about or war starting just about anything else I think
can probably wait until Monday morning. One of the stories
from the weekend, you may have heard about this or not,
was a bombing in Palm Springs, California, outside of a
(32:08):
woman's reproductive building. So when I say that, what's the
first thing that comes to mind? Abortion clinic? Right you're thinking, Okay,
somebody tried to bomb in the board, Some right wing
zealot tried to tried to burn down an abortion center.
Not what happened, not at all, Quite the opposite. In fact,
(32:31):
some left wing zealate tried to blow up a fertility clinic.
What a fertility clinic? What are they doing wrong? Evidently
what they're doing wrong is they're trying to bring more
life into this world. The person who did this is
anti life. What yes? Anti life? Have you ever heard
(32:58):
of such a thing? I can't say that I had
up until now. Anti life? So who is this guy?
Who is I think he's like twenty five years old.
He's you're going to find out in the description from
a guy by the name of hal Kempter. He's a
national security analyst. He talks about this guy and what
(33:22):
we know about this guy and the motivation for this guy.
Speaker 2 (33:25):
It's really quite amazing. There's a couple of things. One
is location.
Speaker 11 (33:29):
He lived in twenty one Palms, reportedly lived with his
mother out there. His father said he hadn't seen him
in a decade, so he was basically estranged from his
father's what sounds like.
Speaker 2 (33:40):
And he was kind of a.
Speaker 11 (33:44):
I don't know, anti social maybe, but he lived in
kind of an online world.
Speaker 2 (33:49):
He was tied to.
Speaker 11 (33:52):
A young lady that was up in the Pacific Northwest,
and somehow in their discussions they're these this what he
calls pro mortalists, this anti life sort of philosophy developed.
She was supposed reportedly dead or killed in a assistant suicide,
and they had a pack that he was going to
(34:13):
kill himself and this was probably part of his self
actualization by doing this.
Speaker 2 (34:18):
But he was also aimed at.
Speaker 11 (34:20):
The IVF clinic because he was anti life and he
felt that basically anyone bringing life into this world was wrong.
He was he felt the world was overpopulated. It's one
of the strangest I guess you could say single issue
domestic terrorist movements I've ever seen pretty darn small. But
in this online world, these very disparate individuals are somehow
(34:43):
able to link up I would say inclusive with his
thinking was to destroy what was in the clinic. Now,
fortunately he you know, whereas it was a pretty pretty
big bomb, and those who have been looking at this
that he obviously kind of knew what he was doing
and make it a but he clearly didn't understand placement
of the explosive, thank goodness. And it did not destroy
(35:07):
the laboratory or the lab setting with the embryos, and
so what he ended up doing was basically killing himself.
He injured some people outside, but he didn't seriously injure
or kill anybody inside the clinic. But yeah, it was
pretty much he've actually there's a website that's associated with him,
not by name, so part of the investigation that they
(35:28):
believe was his, and it was very clear that he
was aiming at this particular clinic.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
Okay, this is if we can capsulize what we've learned.
Number one, young disenfranchised mail with no father. Father hadn't
talked to him in over a decade. So if he's
twenty five. That means he hadn't talked to him since
he was a teenager. Which is not to blame mom
for this. Don't think that's what I'm doing.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
I'm not.
Speaker 4 (35:53):
I'm just saying that when you have a father son
relationship that is bad things have a tendency to happen
as a result of that. Lived in an online world,
didn't really socialize with normal people. He's just in this
little online world and evidently got involved with this girl
(36:14):
in the Pacific Northwest, which is a hotbed of not
only crazy progressive thinking, but of these types of groups,
you know, this is a marginal group, to say the least,
had a mutual suicide pack with her. She committed suicide
assisted suicide. So you know, he's just well, she said,
(36:38):
you know, we're both going to kill ourselves, So no,
I got to I got to kill myself. But he
wants to kill himself in a spectacular way by making
a statement, right, Yeah, he had a manifesto. He's an
environmental nut. He's one of those people who thinks that,
you know, another, we're ten thousand people away from destroying
the planet. We have to stop people from being born,
(37:00):
So why do you target it for tility clinic embryos.
That's where they got all those embryos stored. Those are
all those are all potential people. Got to get rid
of the potential people. And the other thing strikes me
out it is it's become pretty easy to build a bomb.
Lots of people know how to build a bomb. They
(37:21):
may not know all the other science necessary to do
maximum damage, but they know how to build a bomb,
and they know how to get bomb making materials, so
it doesn't take much, you know, And if you're in
this secretive online world, you're not really tipping yourself off
that much unless somehow you end up in a chat
room with somebody who's with the FBI, which evidently didn't
(37:43):
happen in this particular case because nobody saw it coming.
There's no way to protect ourselves from these kinds of nuts.
There just isn't, you know. I would call this a
metal health issue, but it may just be a case
of brainwashing. You know, a young man who didn't really
have any true guidance in his life and found somebody
(38:04):
or something the latch onto that he thought, for whatever reason,
was important, when of course it wasn't all right.
Speaker 2 (38:09):
Listen.
Speaker 4 (38:09):
You'all have a great day. Appreciate you listening. We'll see
you tomorrow morning, bright and early, starting at five am
over on news Radio seven forty KGRH. We are back
here at four on AM nine fifty KPRC.
