Speaker:

You make this rather snappy one too, I have something really heavy to do before 10 o'clock.

Speaker:

All right guys, well welcome to our brand new podcast. It's kind of new. It's not totally new to us

Speaker:

because we've all done this before with all of you. But welcome, we're back and we are ready to

Speaker:

launch a brand new, I don't know what you call it, a season of podcasting.

Speaker:

It's just to do era. I mean, think about it because the broadcast radio era is over.

Speaker:

Many people have listened to Mike on NewsTalk1290 here in Wichita Falls for many years.

Speaker:

Mike is no longer in the air. Terry and I joined him for many years. I actually had shows on

Speaker:

NewsTalk1290 for about 15 years. And then the three of us have been together for quite a while.

Speaker:

So anyhow, that era is over. So we're moving to streaming. Go indigital, but we've done some of this

Speaker:

before. Yeah, yeah. So yeah, it's nothing new to any of us. We're no strangers to any of this.

Speaker:

So we got a few things we want to talk about on this show. A few things we want to address with you.

Speaker:

And we're going to kind of kick it off this morning. Well, what do we, I try to kind of get an

Speaker:

outline for us of what we're going to talk about today a little bit. Yeah, actually,

Speaker:

look real quickly. Listen, in case we have new listeners or watchers or whatever it is, viewers,

Speaker:

listen, introduce ourselves real quick, just real quickly and kind of just talk about what we're

Speaker:

playing on. We can do that. Okay, we could do that. So see, I just kind of assume everybody knows who

Speaker:

we are. Yeah, we're famous. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I know the back on. We're out. We're better as long as we

Speaker:

are. Not not everybody's been at the post office to see your picture on the wall there. That's true.

Speaker:

All right. August I'll start. Okay. So I'm Mike Hendren 22 year broadcast veteran and radio

Speaker:

and now diving into the world of podcasting full time and have been born raised in Wichita,

Speaker:

Falls, Texas, Wichita County resident, my whole life, licensed real estate agent, and pretty much

Speaker:

anything for a buck kind of a kind of a serious entrepreneur. Yeah, he's got his hands on a lot of

Speaker:

things. Yeah. I do. What do we see? Yeah. That sounds creepy when you say. Yeah. It depends on

Speaker:

whose pants you're in. So. Oh, okay. So anyway, anyway, you're turn. You dare you. Okay. I'm

Speaker:

turning. You're the man in the middle. Yeah. I'm Terry McAdams. I'm with Mac Tech Solutions.

Speaker:

So my business I've had since 1996, even while I was still in the Air Force active duty here at

Speaker:

Shepherd Air Force Base arrived here in 95 took the business part time anyway and the evenings

Speaker:

in the weekends 1996. I just found out that people wanted me to help them with their computers in

Speaker:

the evenings and the weekends. And so I did that. And then I retired in 2004 took the business full time

Speaker:

and just over the years just been in a two or three locate well three look four. Well, actually,

Speaker:

it depends on which one, but three or four major locations and we were here in finishing touch

Speaker:

plaza now. And we are an Apple dealer, but we help out our customers. And but the thing with

Speaker:

how I met Mike was through the radio station. Obviously, I hooked up with the sales

Speaker:

hooked up. Well, is that will? Anyway, I salesperson from the radio station got an idea and

Speaker:

it was a tech tip thing got on the radio when it was the the rise and shine show that he was the

Speaker:

producer and co host and all that. And so then it then evolved into hanging out with him once a week.

Speaker:

You know, and so that's really kind of there. And I think I try to bring a tech perspective on a lot

Speaker:

of topics and things here and I might have an opinion or two on other stuff. I want to.

Speaker:

But I don't know if that that probably does hopefully does a pretty good little quick and dirty. But

Speaker:

if you want to know more, you can go to our website. Obviously and read up on. You can find us out later

Speaker:

as we go. Absolutely. Yeah, just be sure. So Rala be careful with you to come up and you Google

Speaker:

search. Terry McAdams. Yeah. Yeah. Just never know. Let's know. My name is Trey Serala. My business is

Speaker:

Eddie Hills fun cycles been here in the power sports business in which to offer since

Speaker:

1966. I haven't been in the power sports business since 1966 since I was only born in 1971. But I

Speaker:

grew up here. I've been there since 1992. So this is going on my 33rd year, I guess in one location.

Speaker:

Former school board member W F ISD for 12 years currently the president of the Texas Motorcycle

Speaker:

dealer Association. Yeah. Very involved with charities and that sort of thing. But the main business

Speaker:

is my main business is power sports motorcycles ATV side by side and that sort of thing. And like

Speaker:

said before, I've actually been on the radio on a couple of stations here in which to falls

Speaker:

always on a part time never on a real thing just had shows here and there. But I've been on the

Speaker:

radio with Mike for almost 15 years straight in one form or other, not nearly as much as he has not

Speaker:

on but just once a week or once every two weeks or a couple of times a week or what what not.

Speaker:

And another thing that Trey has done too is you have you've also done sports play by play. Yes.

Speaker:

I still are high school alma mater, the Hershey Huskies. And possibly even maybe doing some more of that

Speaker:

down the line. Yeah. I've enjoyed doing that. That's kind of one of my hobbies is doing high school

Speaker:

football broadcast play by play or streaming and there's going to be two high schools here in

Speaker:

town next year going from three to two and I don't know if I'll continue doing that but I enjoy

Speaker:

doing it and may end up doing that again as well. So we might be talking about a little bit of that

Speaker:

and some opportunities to get your name or your word out there during high school football.

Speaker:

Yeah. And I think he glossed over one part that he was the president of the school board for

Speaker:

a period of his tenure on the school board. Yeah. A couple of years. Yeah. So that, yeah. But I don't

Speaker:

want you to get away with that. Definitely. Definitely. Definitely got a lot of a little bit of political

Speaker:

experience here with with Trey's. He brings a he brings that perspective to it for sure.

Speaker:

Well, I do want to mention so our local state representative James Frank got some town halls coming

Speaker:

up. Yes. Very near future. Trey's got some information on that. Yeah. And when are those coming up?

Speaker:

Well, I don't have the rundown of it. Really you could go on James Frank. He has a newsletter,

Speaker:

which by the way, if you live in this area, it's a good idea to get signed up with James Frank's

Speaker:

newsletter. It's pretty informative. Yeah. Comes out. I think once a week during legislative session

Speaker:

and once every two or three weeks when it's not legislative session, I'm not sure if you go to the

Speaker:

website or you could contact the local office and they can let you know when the town halls are.

Speaker:

I did attend the first one. It was in Clay County. Got a couple of tips.

Speaker:

Number one, don't dominate the damn thing. We had two people there who probably took up. We were

Speaker:

there probably an hour and a half. Yeah. And I would say that there are two individuals that took up

Speaker:

probably an hour of that or 45 minutes. It was ridiculous. You know, I understand everybody's

Speaker:

passionate. And by the way, what you don't understand is I'm just as passionate about my stuff as you are

Speaker:

about your stuff. Okay. But I'm also considerate of other people and understand that just because

Speaker:

my issue is big to me, it's not big to everybody else. And you have people that just want to keep on

Speaker:

and on. And especially when he gets very specific and they want to talk about their individual thing,

Speaker:

James Frank is a state representative for, you know, I don't know how many people he represents. 150,000

Speaker:

people are something like that. And some thousands. I believe it's a lot of 50. I think that's what he said.

Speaker:

It's right. I think it's I think he talked about. I think what they do is every 10 years, they have a

Speaker:

census and they take 150,000 people and they break up their state ribbeds. I think those numbers are

Speaker:

right. Whether it's something close to that. So understand his area encompasses 150,000 people

Speaker:

spending a whole bunch of time on your specific thing in a town hall setting when there's other people

Speaker:

there who are there to listen and speak and like that is it's really inconsiderate. So that's just

Speaker:

that's just a little tip from Trey when you're doing something like that. Don't try to dominate the

Speaker:

conversation. And you're going to have a more effect. You're going to be more effective if you narrow

Speaker:

that down to your top issue. And and and and and and and and and it have to kind of see where there

Speaker:

may be a benefit to other people, not just yourself. Well, and also what happens is look it's like

Speaker:

anything else. I might be on board with you for the first 10 minutes. Yeah. But by the next 10 minutes,

Speaker:

I'm kind of getting off board with you. I may agree in principle what you're doing, but I don't like

Speaker:

you anymore. Yeah. Or you know, I'm saying or or I don't like your delivery anymore. And I'm looking

Speaker:

at you as a narcissist suddenly you're looking for my favorite because you're right because you're

Speaker:

trying to dominate the conversation. So you know, that's just a tip. But I would recommend people

Speaker:

go to these town halls. You need to get involved locally. I mean, beat the drum about this. We we love to

Speaker:

talk about the White House. We love to talk about Congress. We love to talk about national issues.

Speaker:

Sure. National issues. Now, the border is a really big difference right now. This is affecting

Speaker:

everybody. It covers two areas. It covers us directly because we're Texans. And secondly, it's a national

Speaker:

issue. So that's and it's sucking a lot of resources. That's the biggest thing. Sure. So for the most

Speaker:

part, national issues don't matter as much as local issues do for your day to day basis. Most of your

Speaker:

taxing has come from local local. And your state representatives, your county officials, your city

Speaker:

officials, your school board officials. Don't forget on that when you talk about taxes of your property

Speaker:

taxes, the number one component of your property taxes is school district. That's right. So be

Speaker:

involved in who's who's setting your tax rate at the school board level. Yeah. Definitely. Definitely.

Speaker:

That's about two cents. It looks like his next town halls are coming up in Motley and Coddle County

Speaker:

on the 20th of February. That's out west. That's out west. Motley County Courthouse 10am.

Speaker:

In Coddle County, the city County library in Paducah on the 20th at noon that day. And then on

Speaker:

Thursday, the 22nd, he'll be in Wichita and Archer counties 10am at the Grove in Burt Burnett,

Speaker:

130 PM at the Electra Memorial Hospital Education Center at 130 PM on the 22nd and 4 PM

Speaker:

at the Community Center in Holliday on the 22nd and Archer County. So and for those of you that

Speaker:

are watching or listening to No Labor right here, which is not Archer County or like.

Speaker:

And Clay neighbors. It's actually three. There's three counties that converge right here at Wichita

Speaker:

Falls, right south of Wichita Falls, Clay County, Archer County, Wichita County. Right. Terry and I both

Speaker:

live in Clay County. You have a Wichita Falls address, don't you? I do too. We both pay. Henry,

Speaker:

we live in Clay County. We pay Henry at a school district tax. No, no, I'm, uh, Patroia.

Speaker:

Patroia. Okay. You play Patroia. I pay Henry at it, which are both in Clay County, but we both

Speaker:

have Wichita Falls addresses. That's right. And it's counterstrips. And that's the zip code. I'm

Speaker:

76305. I'm 763010. Right. But 305 is this huge that covers the north of the base as well as

Speaker:

west of town as well. So I'm sorry, east of town. But by the way, Motley County didn't sound like a

Speaker:

place that they just beat the hell out of each other. But if you don't know when most of these counties

Speaker:

abnames, Motley was one of the original founders of the state of Texas. Yeah. So if you'll hear

Speaker:

some of these counties that you're like, well, where did they come up with that name? And it doesn't

Speaker:

sound familiar. There's a great museum in Washington on the process. If you ever get a chance that talks

Speaker:

about the, the years that Texas was a country. Right. And it focuses just on those years from the

Speaker:

battle at St. Sino. Yes. You know, where where Texas and officially became its own entity country.

Speaker:

With Mexico's surrender to when Texas was annexed by the United States. Yep. And that whole that

Speaker:

that museum focuses on those time. And Motley was one of the original founding people that signed

Speaker:

the Texas Declaration of Independence and all that sort of thing. Yeah.

Speaker:

Well, and you mentioned the border tray and it's worth mentioning that we

Speaker:

here in Texas, we've got the biggest portion of the international border. Mexico stretches from

Speaker:

basically Brownsville all the way out to El Paso. And we have the biggest challenges in terms of

Speaker:

the physical control of that border because the federal government's not doing their job. They're

Speaker:

not taking care of it. And we're having to do it ourselves. And we have this, you know, this

Speaker:

ongoing battle now between our state and our governor and our legislature and the federal government

Speaker:

and the current administration that's doing absolutely zero. And we have this, this constant now

Speaker:

expense, if you will, of protecting this border. It has already cost Texans billions of dollars

Speaker:

to keep this border as secure as we can to the, to the greatest degree that we can.

Speaker:

Given limitations as well. Well, the physical limitations, logistical limitations, legal limitations.

Speaker:

Legal limitations that we're apparently now basically just going to screw the legal limitations.

Speaker:

And we're, but we, you know, we have limited resources. You know, we've only got, we've only

Speaker:

got so many people we can put down there. We're actually, and this has been going on for a couple

Speaker:

of years now, we are reallocating resources. We are moving people in the Texas DPS,

Speaker:

Texas Game Wardens, moving them out of their counties where they normally were and sending them to the

Speaker:

border and refocusing their efforts on the border. Right. And that's, that's affecting our local

Speaker:

areas where they're coming from. That's right. Leaving a gap of coverage, if you will, from a law enforcement

Speaker:

perspective. And then, and then you're also affecting their families. You're deploying, it's like

Speaker:

a military deployment almost now. Pretty much. I don't know what all the legal ramifications of

Speaker:

someone trying to decline that if they didn't want to go, but I know I'm quite sure most of them are

Speaker:

all for helping out. But then for them to have to go down there for, you know, months and a couple

Speaker:

of years on end, you know, that's kind of crazy. What I have been told guys by people that I've been

Speaker:

communicating with that are part of the DPS or other organizations that are working down there.

Speaker:

Very few people that have been asked to go there and work the border have said no. Very few have

Speaker:

declined. Well, they might not really have much of a choice. I mean, I don't say that. It's not

Speaker:

a military. You're not going to throw you in prison, but you may lose your job. Yeah. But may use

Speaker:

your career. But very few people I'm told have said no. Right. Most people understand

Speaker:

that how important this job is. The fact that we don't have the feds doing their job that they

Speaker:

normally would be doing to protect this should be doing. And by the way, we need to, we need to make

Speaker:

this very clear. I don't think there's anybody that is that is be smirching the name of the Border

Speaker:

Patrol agents. I don't think most of the Border Patrol agents, if you look at the Border,

Speaker:

National Border Patrol agent association and all of them, all their representatives, they're saying

Speaker:

constantly, this is not a Border Patrol agent issue. This is my orcus Biden, the very, very

Speaker:

pinnacle of the Border Patrol. That's who's causing this problem. Speaking of of May orcus,

Speaker:

the US House of Representatives were set to vote on, or they did vote on his impeachment. That vote

Speaker:

was defeated by three Republicans who joined Democrats and voting against or voted no on the

Speaker:

May orcus impeachment. Those representatives were Tom McClinic from California, Ken Buck Republican

Speaker:

from Colorado, and Mike Gallagher Republican from Wisconsin. The one that bothers me is Ken Buck,

Speaker:

because he's got a cool name. I mean, does that sound like a guy that would vote against impeachment?

Speaker:

That sounds like a guy that would come in and try to kick your ass. Ken Buck, Ken Buck.

Speaker:

Almost like a professional wrestler. Yeah, he's going to go to the border with a nice,

Speaker:

well, big knives in his teeth and stop the immigrants. Their argument against voting for the

Speaker:

impeachment was is that they didn't feel that May orcus had at this point done anything that

Speaker:

reached the level of impeachment. Their fear here was is that we were setting the bar too low.

Speaker:

And not, yeah. So, so, so, wait a minute. So,

Speaker:

May orcus, obviously, Derrick Lutcher, the duty that we have, a hard, raw data to point to,

Speaker:

because the amount of of Godaways and the amount of illegal immigration that's happened during,

Speaker:

during his watch and with his policies, that is too low a bar. But yet, you're going to impeach a

Speaker:

sit a former president for an insurrection that was never charged with insurrection. It was never

Speaker:

proven, never charged in a court of law. Yeah, what a bar. Yeah. Right. Well, and here's another

Speaker:

interesting take on this. And something that I had to kind of, I probably didn't have to deal with it

Speaker:

as much as maybe some of the higher ranking officers and things. But if, in this case, if you're,

Speaker:

I mean, they're the, who's their boss? Who's May orcus boss? I'm assuming Biden. Yeah. Right.

Speaker:

Right. Because it was the part of the chair or the, or was it department chair now? But the head

Speaker:

of the departments, he's a secretary or secretary. There you go. Secretary for the president.

Speaker:

And so the president obviously is laying this agenda out and laying down the way they want things

Speaker:

to go. Somebody out. Somebody in his, somebody who's running the show. But here's the thing though.

Speaker:

They took a, an oath of that office to abide by the Constitution. That, and so that's where we,

Speaker:

as a military member, we actually have an obligation to decline illegal orders. Exactly.

Speaker:

For instance. And so it's not about, that's the whole thing about this is that it's not, it's like a

Speaker:

police officer also has, they are supposed to, if they're able to take someone's rights away,

Speaker:

or they're able to do things like, you know, as far as a military member in theory, you could go

Speaker:

rape and pillage a, a village. But if there's no strategic value, no, no true war benefit to,

Speaker:

to, to, to defeat the enemy, then that is against the law. I mean, you've broken the law.

Speaker:

Well, if so, that's why you've got to follow the law, even if you're given an illegal order. That's

Speaker:

a hard thing. Well, you think, perfect example. When you said police, that's a, that's a good one.

Speaker:

For a police officer, you have commanders. If, if you're a police officer and you're a rest of

Speaker:

suspect, and you take them in and the chief of police says, put a bullet in his brain right now.

Speaker:

And you do it. You, you're both a trouble. Yeah. You're not just bad. You're both in trouble.

Speaker:

Right. You know, you've committed murder. Right. And just similar, like you said in the military,

Speaker:

if, if a, if a commander tells you to go bomb a village, and it's, and it's a village of a bunch of

Speaker:

innocent people and a, and a, and a, a bomber, a bomber, or the airplane, the pilot says, no,

Speaker:

I'm not doing that. You know, they can bring them up on charges, but he ultimately will win,

Speaker:

because he, if he could prove and say, wait a minute. You told me to bomb a village of 20,

Speaker:

you know, unarmed people or something like that. So, yeah, exactly. You're perfectly right about that.

Speaker:

So you don't have to follow a direct order if it's contrary to the law. Right. Exactly.

Speaker:

Somebody can't, and could tell you, somebody cannot compel you to break the law. They can't do it in

Speaker:

contract. They can't compel you to break the law. Nope. And then, and, and he has an obligation to

Speaker:

refuse that order. He then, and, and in the case, he has to, he may get asked to resign. And that,

Speaker:

you just, that's just the unfortunate. It's a very, right. And there, and that's a political aspect of,

Speaker:

of our government. And that's just the way it is. Well, the good news is you're allowed to resign

Speaker:

instead of somebody like, like, like, like, like, Russia or something like that, where you just

Speaker:

disappear. That's right. If you disagree with Putin. That's right. Yeah. You're absolutely right.

Speaker:

This is a, it's ridiculous that they, that these Republicans decided not to go through impeachment.

Speaker:

Look, we all know that the Senate probably would not convict him. Oh, yeah, yeah. I was. And I'm not

Speaker:

big on wasting time and things like that. But there are some times you have to make a statement.

Speaker:

Right. And this, this is one of them. So, well, and that, and that absolutely sent, would send a message

Speaker:

impeaching him, would absolutely send a message. Um, this whole situation with the border, it's,

Speaker:

the thing is a dumpster fire. And it has been now for three years. And you look at the numbers. You

Speaker:

know, you had the president out there saying that, you know, the whole border issues, all Donald

Speaker:

Trump's fault. Look at the numbers between 2020 and 2023 and how those, those numbers of people

Speaker:

crossing the border illegally, the number of Godaways, the people, and you look at,

Speaker:

matter of fact, I shared a video the other day that somebody had posted. Um, there's,

Speaker:

there's, there's, there are Chinese nationals crossing the world. People from Russia. Yeah.

Speaker:

Oh, right. Those Chinese nationals, they were, they were carrying like good luggage. Yeah. And

Speaker:

dress well. All of these people are well dressed. They're clearly not starving. They're well-fed.

Speaker:

They're clean. They don't look like they've been walking through the desert for four or five days.

Speaker:

You know, trying to, trying to reach the border. That's a perfect example. We, I was at the,

Speaker:

speaking, let's go back to the local. There was a candidate form. We have a, our Senate District

Speaker:

30. Yeah. Our current Senate, State Senator Drew Springer is going to retire after his term is up,

Speaker:

which basically he's, he's still in office for the rest of this year. But so there, there are

Speaker:

several people that are running for his position. I think there's seven. I believe that's right.

Speaker:

There's, yeah, at the candidate, there's four Republicans and three Democrats at this candidate

Speaker:

form that was held at Midwestern State University here in town. Yeah. Two of the Democrats were there

Speaker:

and all four of the Republicans. One of the Democrats, and this guy, actually, I told him afterwards,

Speaker:

I said, I'd like to come to your church and just listen to you preach. He's a, he's a, a bar,

Speaker:

been a barber for 51 years and a preacher for like 32 years. And he's a really great pastor. I

Speaker:

don't agree with him at all on his assessment of things, but he speaks well. And I mean, he speaks

Speaker:

with, with conviction the way he's, he's inspiring to listen to. But he made a comment and he was talking

Speaker:

about somebody brought about the border. And he talked about this whole thing about this guy walked

Speaker:

3200 miles, walked 3200 miles and all he wanted was a job. All he wanted was a job. I agree that that

Speaker:

happens. Sure. But that's not the majority. No. And by the way, what about the people that already

Speaker:

live here who are part of our American system who already paid taxes? What about them getting

Speaker:

those jobs? And I hear this crap about people do these jobs that Americans won't do. Americans,

Speaker:

who do you think built this country? Americans won't do it for free. No. And by the way, this is why I've

Speaker:

been saying for years, for years, the people we have to go after to stop this illegal immigration

Speaker:

crap is the employers. You go in, you have a debt, you verify a system, but not only that,

Speaker:

we catch you as an employer, hiring somebody illegally, you go to prison. You lose your business,

Speaker:

you lose everything. You go to prison. That's right. Okay. If you do that, that will stop this because

Speaker:

though there are people won't risk. Some people will, but let them go to prison. Most people that

Speaker:

have a business will not risk. Oh yeah. Because Terry, would you, would you risk your livelihood and

Speaker:

your freedom to, to try to save a few bucks? No. No. You can't, you have to look at risk reward.

Speaker:

Okay. The rewards of these people that are, the illegal immigrants are, there's, they have no

Speaker:

risk. They come in. What's the worst thing happening? They get deported, deported back to where they

Speaker:

were from. So there's almost zero risk. The reward is they might get to come to America, live in

Speaker:

America, disappear into America, can get a job in America. Yeah. It's all laid out. Well, by the,

Speaker:

the actions of our president have created this demand of people saying, oh, it's a magnet. Go up

Speaker:

there and yeah, it's a magnet and they're going up there. They're coming here. Well, and this is crazy.

Speaker:

What I want to know is why we don't have everybody in the media, jump it up and down, screaming and

Speaker:

shouting, demanding answers as to why we have people literally being flown from the other side of

Speaker:

the planet to either, they're either being flown into Central America and then transported into

Speaker:

Mexico or they're being flown directly into Mexico. Obviously, the cartels have some sort of a

Speaker:

role in getting these people close enough to the border that they can then walk into the USA.

Speaker:

Who's financing this? Some what somebody, some entities, some country, someone somewhere is financing

Speaker:

these flights. These people are not getting, they're not, you know, you should have another raft from

Speaker:

Africa or China. Pretty damn. A homemade raft. Pretty sure. So I have a question. Although Gilligan's

Speaker:

island, you know, they were stranded on that island for what, 37 years and had the exact same

Speaker:

close the whole time and look great. I was wondering how the Harlem Globetrotter showed up there and

Speaker:

then got off the island and Gilligan and then could get off the island. I'm just, I'm telling you.

Speaker:

And by the way, let me just settle the debate right now. Ginger, Mary Ann. Mary Ann. Mary Ann,

Speaker:

all the way there you go. All the way there you go. Okay. You are sick. So real quick question. Okay.

Speaker:

And what are the numbers? What are the numbers of people that we've allowed under the Biden

Speaker:

administration to come into the United States? If you look it up, it says a shit load, I think.

Speaker:

Okay. Basically what the number is. Okay. Well, I need a, just a lot. I mean, is it million?

Speaker:

Millions? We're in the millions. Okay. So let's say it's a million. I don't, whatever it is.

Speaker:

If 1% and I don't, I don't know if that's even a real number, but let's just throw out 1% of a million.

Speaker:

What is 1% of a million? So a million? A hundred thousand. Ten thousand. How many people did it take

Speaker:

to do to pull off 9/11? 19. 19. Okay. 19 high jackers were involved and probably at least another

Speaker:

dozen people in the planning. Let's say a hundred people. But let's say a hundred people. Even a hundred

Speaker:

people. If, if of a million people, so 0.01% of that. So 10, yeah. That, you know of all those people

Speaker:

that the numbers are overwhelmingly and as far as odds as somebody getting through that are coming

Speaker:

or being routed through and coming up and walking and that's their mission and their terrorists.

Speaker:

That is crazy. Or even, even if you're just going to say, let's take the terrorism out, but are just

Speaker:

criminals. Oh, yeah. There's a percentage of people that are already criminals no matter where

Speaker:

you're from, including America. There's a percentage of people that are already criminals,

Speaker:

especially if you go into people that are desperate, that are poor and stuff like that. Those

Speaker:

numbers go up exponentially. So just say we let in 10,000 more criminals. We already have

Speaker:

plenty of criminals of our own. Now we have more criminals. Here's a number. Let me throw a number

Speaker:

at you. This is based on the Judiciary Committee's report on the number of illegals that have entered

Speaker:

the US during the first 26 months of Biden's presidency, DHS released at least 2,148,738

Speaker:

illegal aliens into the United States. Again, this is going to a Judiciary Committee.

Speaker:

And that's released. This made people want caught and released. Yeah. This doesn't count. This

Speaker:

is not taken into account the Godaways, the people that totally escaped, totally escaped the

Speaker:

DHS apprehension. The committee found that only 5,993 of those encountered at the southern border

Speaker:

were placed in removal proceedings. And by the way, it's worth mentioning when you talk about the

Speaker:

removal proceedings. So among these 5,000, nearly 6,000 people, some of these people have been

Speaker:

given a court date. Some of those court dates are 15 to 18 years away. Years? Years away.

Speaker:

Not much. I know we're going to have to wind this down. We talked about trying to get down to 30

Speaker:

minutes. Yeah. On our next episode, I have a theory about homelessness and that sort of thing.

Speaker:

And it ties into this. And so on our next episode, I want to explore that. You guys might say I'm

Speaker:

full of shit, but let's be fair. And I think both of you better route, but Mike and I have been around

Speaker:

a year alone time. How many times have I come up with a theory, Mike? And within five years,

Speaker:

it's I called it. It comes in the news. It finally gets.

Speaker:

It has a better track record than Puxitani Phil could ever hope for.

Speaker:

I'm not nearly as cute as before. Yeah. Before he sees his shadow, y'all better get it in

Speaker:

mom's job. Well, if I want to add to the a couple quick things on that thought. So first of all,

Speaker:

the Democrats are the liberals that are for making this easier to people for people to get into the

Speaker:

country like they have been. So they they have very little to lose. Yeah. Because our Congress

Speaker:

is what what the drunken sailor spending like a drunken sailor, whatever the term is crazy.

Speaker:

And and we're taking money. So we have our veterans and things. I think we'd all like to think

Speaker:

that our veterans and even if it's not just our veterans, our own people, regardless of their

Speaker:

situation, and you tell them how homelessness and all that. And so if we're going to take all this

Speaker:

money and we're going to throw it at a we'd like to put it towards those kind of programs. And I

Speaker:

think we'd all agree that there's there's a certain investment we need to do in that. Absolutely.

Speaker:

But they don't it. So what they're saying is is well, you're taking money away from veterans. And

Speaker:

this and that you could be spending that well, no, what they're doing is just expanding the debt.

Speaker:

And they're just pushing kicking the can down the road, right? But where they really are taking

Speaker:

things, the resources, they're taking places. There's there's like New York City, Chicago,

Speaker:

and things like that. There's kids that don't have who they don't have after school programs.

Speaker:

Right. Because of physical locations. That's not has to do with money. That's not pretty money.

Speaker:

That's in the short term. People can't play their kids. Can you imagine how pissed off you'd be if

Speaker:

you were in Americans' and Pedro taxes? And your kid that you had an after school program,

Speaker:

someplace for your kid. And by the way, most of these are poor kids. You know, the wealthy kids

Speaker:

or the upper middle class kids that live out of the suburbs and forget color. I'm tired of this

Speaker:

shit. I'm gonna say it. We're not on the radio. I'm tired of this shit about color. And that's

Speaker:

nothing with color. It's have and have nots. I recognize this for I've been saying this for years and

Speaker:

years about when I was on the school board watching test scores and achievement scores and that sort

Speaker:

of stuff. It has nothing to do with color. It has to do with poor and not poor. There's plenty of

Speaker:

white people that fail because they're because they're poor and they don't have the resources or the

Speaker:

home life. Okay. So it's not a color thing. But what I'm saying is most of the effects these poor

Speaker:

kids a lot of more people of color. But there's plenty of white kids again. They just don't make the

Speaker:

news because they're after school programs. I can't do those. There are there are parks that they

Speaker:

play. They're sports on their soccer and their football and all that. They can't do those because

Speaker:

the illegal immigrants are taking up those spaces and the city's letting them do it. I'm telling you

Speaker:

it's bullshit. So we need to we need we can explore that and we need to explore that in depth.

Speaker:

I think on our next show we'll do that. Join us for our next episode of this podcast coming up very

Speaker:

soon. Look for us every a new release every Monday Wednesday Friday. That's the plan. We'll have a

Speaker:

new podcast every Monday Wednesday and Friday. You'll be able to find us on YouTube. You'll be able

Speaker:

to find us on Spotify. Apple podcast. So that what we're going to and we're going to and we'd like to

Speaker:

get feedback too. Yeah. So please let us know your thoughts and things you'd like us to cover and

Speaker:

all of that. Yeah. Yeah. You know. Am I pretty enough? Yeah. Yeah. Let me know. We'll see you next time.

Terry McAdams is the founder and CEO of MacTech Solutions, an Apple Authorized Reseller and Service Provider in Wichita Falls, Texas. A tech enthusiast since the early 1980s, Terry’s passion for computers sparked in high school, back when floppy disks were all the rage and Pac-Man was cutting-edge.

With a stellar 20-year career in the United States Air Force as an Avionics Technician and Instructor, Terry’s tech-savvy skills only grew stronger. While stationed at Sheppard Air Force Base, he dove headfirst into the Wichita Falls community, where he connected with some truly awesome people, including Mike Hendren and Trey Sralla.

Terry made his radio debut with “Terry’s Tech Minute,” a hit tech segment on News Talk 1290’s Rise and Shine Show. Every morning, he rocked the airwaves with the latest tech news, and on Fridays, he joined Mike live in the studio for a totally tubular tech talk. When the Rise and Shine Show wrapped up, Mike knew they had to keep the good times rolling, inviting Terry to his new show, Wake Up Call.

In early 2024, Mike, Trey, and Terry joined forces to launch the “Get It Right Texoma” podcast, bringing their rad mix of expertise, insights, and community spirit to a fresh and growing audience.
