PM Show Hr 1 | Racial Gerrymandering ACTUALLY Gets Prevented

This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Our little podcast is the podcast that could, the little engine that could. You know, when we started, it was just a simple rebroadcast of our show, and they would take it over and put it on this new podcast platform. I didn't think anything of it. Before long, we started hearing from people all over the country where we don't air on the radio in the town where they are. And I would say, well, how are you hearing us? Did you find us online? And they say, no, I was on a podcast. Or, as happens for more than anything else, somebody sent me an email, say, hey, check out this podcast. He's from Houston, talks a lot about Texas, but talks about national stuff, and I think you'll like him. And that's how our little podcast grew to be one of the top in the country. It's pretty cool. And so we have show sponsors on the radio. We have show sponsors on the podcast. One of them's a good buddy of mine. His name is Ray Breyer's. And he owns the Pipeyard Inc. And what he does on his cell phone is people call and go, hey, I got a 118 mile pipeline going through Louisiana into Mississippi. And he says, all right, let me go check it out. He goes out. He rips that pipe out of the ground all the way. And he goes off and sells that to somebody else who needs the pipe. It's a beautiful process. And people call him all from our show, from our podcast, all over the country. Thepipeyard, inc.com. 409-788 pipe. 409-88 pipe. Talk to Ray, the pipe, ma'am, a good buddy. I'm on testosterone, and I encourage everybody else to be on testosterone. If you're below 350 on your testosterone level... Very good chance your insurance will pay for you to have it. You know why? There's a lot of studies that say it's very good for you, not just your sex life, but your energy, your strength, all sorts of good things. Do your own research. Don't trust me, but you should do your research, and you should get your blood panels checked, and they'll do all that for you at synergenics. Go to fixmylowt.com. Fix my lowtie.com. You might notice that some car dealerships on the freeway have massive flags. You know why? Because the sign code does not limit the size of your massive patriotic flag. Lots of folks get their flags from Cronberg's flags and flag polls. They got your UT flag, your A&M flag, your UH flag, your Baylor or wherever else flag. Cromberg's flags and flagpoles. 713. 661, 92, 22. 713, 661, 92, 22. It's that time. Lock and load. The Michael Derry Show is on the air. I really thought that I was done. I was in another life. I was a grandfather and an author wearing, you know, sweaters and jeans. And then they went for a walk on the beach and posted a silly picture of shells that I thought was a clever way to express a political viewpoint. And actually, I still think it is. I don't see it the way some people are still saying it is. These cases take time.

Our investigators work methodically. They are career agents, career prosecutors who work these matters. They call the balls and strikes in the field as they see fit pursuant to the facts of the case in the law. They took that information and made a presentment to a grand jury, a jury of a peers in the district in which the alleged crime took place. And that grand jury spoke. And that grand jury returned a two-count indictment. You are back in the middle of a political firestorm. Yeah, for walking on the beach with my wife. So I don't know how we ended up here. It never occurred to me that it was any kind of controversial thing, but that's the time we live in. So take me back to the walk on the beach. We were walking on the beach. We went to the beach to prepare for this week, which was the launch of my book, and to think about the book and to prepare to answer questions about it. And we were walking back towards the road, and we saw in the sand, someone had arranged shells with numbers. And Patrice, my wife said, why would someone put an address in the sand? And I said, I don't know. And we stood over it. And I said, you know, I think it's some kind of like political message. And she said, you know, 86 when I was a server, she did a lot of working in restaurants meant to remove an item from the menu when you ran out of ingredients. And I said, well, to me, as a kid, it always meant to leave a place, to ditch a place. I said, that's really clever. So then she said, you should take a picture of that. And I did. And I posted it on my Instagram account and thought nothing more of it. So I heard through her that people were saying it was some sort of a call for assassination, which is crazy. But I took it down. Even if I think it's crazy, I don't want to be associated with violence of any kind. Good, good, good vibration. There are a number of things I want to discuss with you today. One is... The James Comey indictment related to him posting 8647, which is presumed to be a code for kill Donald Trump, the indictment of the former FBI director, what it means, the likelihood that it will amount to anything, either.

concrete, as in he's convicted and punished, or why do it in what interest it serves? We'll talk about that. The Department of Justice has indicted a former senior advisor to Anthony Fauci for destroying and concealing records from investigations into the origins of the COVID-19 virus. Why would he destroy and conceal, hide, records related to how COVID-19 started? Well, Ocom's Razor would tell you it's probably most likely the case that he's hiding and destroying because what's in those records is not good. For him, and probably the man who I suspect, told him to do that, which is Anthony Fauci. We'll get into that. In Minnesota, more raids on quote-unquote daycares that aren't really daycares at all. An update on the Jimmy Kimmel doubling down and whether... Disney's ever going to kick him out for the awful things he has said and the reaction by some advertisers to that point. Two major cases coming out of the Supreme Court yesterday related to redistricting in the state of Texas. Today, related to redistricting in Florida, I looked up to, I looked up the state of Texas, the state of Louisiana, Matt, and when you see what they did to racially gerrymander, it's going to blow your mind. But first, the king and queen of England arrived in New York today where they hold no king's rallies, but they sure did make him feel welcome. How do we reconcile that? The following program is only made possible by contributions from listeners like you. Hello, and welcome to soft voices, hard truths. I'm your host, Wesley Gardigan. Today, we explore our complicated love affair with royalty. For example, there's Charles III III, a figure of quiet dignity, measure tone, and... Frankly, exceptional posture, a man who speaks, and you feel gently corrected. And yet, here at home, the phrase no kings echoes through protest, carried on hand-painted signs, and ethically sourced poster board. Because, of course, we reject monarchy entirely, unequivocally, unless it's symbolic or... Well dressed. Meanwhile, figures like Donald Trump are often described in language usually reserved for royalty. Power, influence, a kind of gravitational pull.

And that, that makes us uncomfortable, because we don't want kings. We just occasionally appreciate the aesthetic of one, the pageantry, the gorgeous, the gentle waving. So we march. No kings, we say, while quietly admiring a well-tailored ceremonial robe, we reject crowns, but accept tasteful tiaras, in principle, for others. And perhaps that's the hardest truth of all. We don't want kings. However, we do love a queen. Whether she's a beautiful black queen who will tear up a bodega if they're out of her juicy fruit, or he's the kind of queen that reads to school children, we respectfully bow before those queens, but reject a king. Unfortunately, that's all the time we have left for today's program. But before we go, I'd like to remind you that immediately following this program, in honor of Charles III' visit to America, Twyla Busybody will demonstrate the fine art of calligraphy because every passive-aggressive note should look elegant. For soft voices, hard truths, I'm Wesley Cardigan. I want to break three.

for a complete meltdown with more of the Michael Bari Weiss Show. The districting case yesterday related to Texas and today related to Louisiana is going to affect what happens in November and it's good for Republicans. And we will get to that. But I want to start with James Comey and the indictment of James Comey. To remind you who James Comey is and to remind you how brilliant Rush Limbaugh was, we go back to Limbaugh talking about Rush, I never called him Limbaugh, Rush talking about Obama's CIA director, Brennan, and FBI director, James Comey, and that they're both communists. How many of you have thought, I mean, if you thought about it, how many of you have heard or thought that James Comey was a lifelong Republican? I have. I've always thought that James Comey was a lifelong Republican. I've been told that James Comey is a lifelong Republican. Turns out not to be true. Are you wearing a James Comey used to be a communist?

In a 2003 interview with New York Magazine, James Comey said before voting for Jimmy Carter, Jimmy Carter in 1980, he'd been a communist. He admitted I'd moved from communist to whatever I am now. Now, we know that John Brennan, Obama's CIA director, was a communist, or at least had voted for the Communist Party. But I had never heard this about James Comey. Now we find out. that under Obama, the CIA director and the FBI director, both had histories of not just flirtation, but serious immersion into communism. And like the KGB always said, no one ever leaves the KGB. Nobody ever leaves this way of thinking. Fun fact, radio, inside, insight. that you probably already know. But the end of that clip is what is known as a tone. And that clip, which you heard, if you listen to Rush, hundreds, if not thousands of times over the years, that tone was a signal, Ramon, correct me if I explain this incorrectly, because you're the expert at this, not me. That tone was a signal, as we say, down the line. So Rush had hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of affiliates. And when that signal went down the line, it would be a, that signal, that tone was a closure. And that meant to each of the affiliates, which is how you're listening on a radio station in San Diego or San Antonio or Miami or Pensacola or New York or wherever you are, it would tell the station close. The access, like a lock, like at Panama Canal, close the door. Don't let Rush in for a few minutes because we're going to play something locally. And that would be your commercial spots. So that's how you'd be listening to Rush Limbaugh, who was coming down the line, the signal down the line. And then you'd be listening. And then that signal would say, all right, close the show off and start playing the local stuff. And whether it was a computer or a board operator, they would hear that tone. They would turn off Rush coming through the line, and they would turn on the local. And that would be Bob's Burgers or Sam's Roofs or whatever in your local community was advertising during Russia's show. And then that would be for, whatever, it was three or four minutes, however long his break was. And then you would go back to Rush and you'd have the intro music, which is a bump. And Rush was the best because he was a former FM DJ. He loved music. He loved how music would set tones and things like that. And you would start back and then you would have Rush talking again. Maybe you knew that or maybe you didn't. I like to learn the behind the scenes. the stagecraft of everybody and everything and how things happened. I took my boys one time to a Houston Astros game, and Reed Ryan was the president of the Astros organization at the time, Nolan Ryan's son, and he'd grown up in baseball.

And he took us down into the locker room. And, you know, Craig Vizio was there. And the different players were there. The ones that they wanted to meet, especially was Jose Altuve. But we got to see how the baseball ends up on the mound where the pitcher is going to throw it. And you got to see the process. There is, do you know this process from him? for a major league baseball. When the ball comes out, I think it's Rawlings or Spalding. I think it's Rawlings maybe that makes the balls. But when that ball comes out and arrives, it then has to be massaged with a Mississippi mud. And it really is, if I remember correctly, it is from the riverbed of the Mississippi River. It is a black mud that is smeared onto the ball. Right? So if you ever coach a little league baseball, or you have a kid that plays a league baseball, and you see the ball that the team will hand to the um and the ump will put two on this side and two on this side and he'll throw one out to the pitcher when a foul ball, when the ball goes out of play, that ball will be shiny white. The professional baseball is not shiny white. It has been rubbed and smeared with a mud that comes from the bed of the Mississippi River. Just kind of one of those things that once you know, you realize there's so much more to everything than you would have expected otherwise. Back to James Comey. The indictment itself, I don't believe, will hold up. The indictment is a two-count indictment. The first is a threat against the president. And the second is transmitting that threat across state and international lines, which is what puts it into federal court with a federal prosecutor. My suspicion is it'll be thrown out. And my suspicion is the feds know that. My suspicion is this is an attempt to show James Comey. that they're going to needle him just as he needled Trump. And I think he's doing the I'm nonplussed. I don't care. I don't. Nobody wants to be in a sling. And to know that there are people who want to put you in prison, which they do. And I hope he goes to prison. I hope Anthony Fauci goes to prison. I hope Hillary goes to prison. But it's not for nothing. It's not that he doesn't care at all about this. And I will remind you, which I'll play for you in just a moment, he did delight in the idea of Donald Trump going to prison. He said they'd put him in a double wide out near the fence. That's not, that's inappropriate for him to have said. But anyway, we'll get into all this coming up. Our little podcast is the podcast that could, the little engine that could. You know, when we started, it was just a simple rebroadcast of our show. and they would take it over and put it on this new podcast platform. I didn't think anything of it. Before long, we started hearing from people all over the country where we don't air on the radio in the town where they are. And I would say, well, how are you hearing us? Did you find us online? And they say, no, I was on a podcast, or as happens for more than anything else.

Somebody sent me an email and say, hey, check out this podcast. He's from Houston, talks a lot about Texas, but talks about national stuff, and I think you'll like him. And that's how our little podcast grew to be one of the top in the country. It's pretty cool. And so we have show sponsors on the radio. We have show sponsors on the podcast.

Claimdenied.com. 713-2-2-6,000. 713-2-2-6,000. Let's talk more about James Comey, shall we? This will be clip number 615, Ramon. Flashback. James Comey says, no criminal charges to be... Recommended against Hillary Clinton, even though crimes were committed just before the election in 2016. Although the Department of Justice makes final decisions on matters like this, we are expressing to justice our view that no charges are appropriate in this case. Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes regarding the handling of classified information, our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case. To be clear, this is not to suggest that in similar circumstances, a person who engaged in this activity would face no consequences. To the contrary, those individuals are often subject to security or administrative sanctions, but that's not what we're deciding now. What I can assure the American people is that this investigation was done honestly, competently, and independently. No outside influence of any kind was brought to bear.

Imagine how nice it would be if you could just commit crimes. Crime after crime after crime. These are high crimes. These are exponentially larger than anything you could do. And there would be no charges brought against you because, well, we wouldn't want to affect an election. Back in 2017, So President Trump has won the election. Shocking the world. They never believed he could win. One of the things they had done to prevent him from winning was to create what came to be known as the Russian hoax. And you remember, that starts with Hillary Clinton's campaign and Podesta. whose brother was a big deal in the Clinton administration in Clinton circles. And Podesta, who turned out to be a freak of a freak, but that's a different subject. They hire GPS Fusion, which is, I think is Glenn Kessler, former New York Times reporter. He now has a consulting firm at this point. They hire him so they can funnel the money through him. It doesn't come straight from Hillary's campaign. It goes to him to go to Christopher Steele. He's a British spy, we're told. Not really. He's a disgraced drunk. But he claims to have a dossier. Okay, so now this sounds very official. This isn't just campaign operatives and flacks and flunkies. No, no, no. This is high stuff, man. This is James Bond. This is a dossier. It's official. It's got the imprimatur of a government on it. He's, and he's British. Oh, yes. He's a British spy. And the steel dossier says that Trump is in cahoots with Vladimir Putin. Ah, okay. So Trump, so Vladimir Putin's really running things, you see. And he's put Trump up so that he can control America. Oh my goodness, I need to get under my desk. There's a bomb scare coming. Oh, my goodness. COVID's going to get me. I'm scared. Vladimir Putin's doing bad things. Trump is just a vessel. He's just an agent of theirs. He's a stooge. They control him. Oh, my goodness. So then they rigged the election. They've rigged it and they made Trump the president because America wanted Hillary. And it was all there. And it was handed off from there to James Comey. And James Comey handed it to the New York Times. Well, this came from the FBI. This wasn't some campaign operative living out their fantasies and making stuff up. This came from James Comey, the head of the FBI. The Russian hoax. There are still people who believe the Russian hoax. It's called a hoax because it's not true. It's a thing that was carried out. It's snipe hunting.

So then James Comey appears before Congress, and he's asked about the Russian interference in the election that has just completed. He's the FBI director. The president at this point doesn't know that James Comey has been part of this effort to keep him from being president. Listen to this. There should be no fuss on this whatsoever. The Russians interfered in our election during the 2016 cycle. They did it with purpose. They did it with sophistication. They did it with overwhelming technical efforts. And it was an active measures campaign driven from the top of that government. There is no fuss on that. It is a high confidence judgment of the entire intelligence community. And the members of this committee have seen the intelligence. It's not a close call. That happened. That's about as unfake as you can possibly get and is very, very serious, which is why it's so refreshing to see a bipartisan focus on that, because this is about America, not about any particular party. So that was a hostile act by the Russian government against this country? Yes, sir. In that time frame, there were more than the DNC and the DCC that were targets. Correct. There was a massive effort to target government and non-governmental, near-governmental agencies like nonprofits. What would be the estimate of how many entities out there the Russians specifically targeted in that time frame? It's hundreds. I suppose it could be more than a thousand, but it's at least hundreds.

All of that turns out to be a lie. And he knew it was a lie. And everyone now knows he knew it was a lie. He should go to prison for that. I don't know why charges were never brought against him before. Trump 2.0 is very different than Trump 1.0. Back then, he was still trying to show, hey, I'm not a hot head. I'm a nice guy. You don't worry about me. Now he recognizes. They tried to put me in prison and bankrupt me and destroy me and my family. I'm going to play by their rules now. So what about when lawfare started? Trump's out of the White House. They don't think he'll ever be president again. And they engaged in the lawfare. Remember, they raided Mar-a-Lago and everything else to go with that? James Comey and the leftist media were giddy at the prospect. of at that time former President Trump going to prison. Here he is with Jen Posaki, who by the way is the former press secretary for Democrat president. So a lot of people have suggested that there are a range of factors that would make it difficult to put a former, the system has not been tested in this way. Do you agree with that that it would be difficult or nearly impossible for the law enforcement institutions to put him in actual jail? No. They would just put him in a double wide somewhere out near the fence, out in the grass. And he would eat there, he'd shower there, he'd exercise there, he'd be away, as Donya Perry said, from general population. But it's obviously doable. I love... that James Comey says, you know, when he's asked about this indictment, he says, you know, I was just walking along my wife, thinking about the grandkids. I saw this written in the sand, and I wondered, what could it be? So I took a photo of it. What a diabolical evil person. Nothing he says is truthful. He can pretend to be nice. He can pretend to be innocent. This is... What's the name you say? Michael Betty. Let's remember who James Comey is. Before Biden dropped out of the 2024 election, remember they smothered him? James Comey was begging people to vote for him. You know why? Because James Comey knew he had committed crimes. And he was worried that a Trump election would lead to accountability. And I don't mean for seashells in the sand. I mean for real, real serious crimes. When you think about a second Trump administration, what do you think the implications would be for the FBI? Oh, serious. For the Justice Department and the FBI, because Trump is coming for those institutions. He knows their power, and I think he has regrets that he didn't work hard enough to corrupt them last time. So he's coming for them, and that's a danger for all Americans.

When you're being targeted, there's a tendency to see the boogeyman under every bed that you sit on. You can't give them that space in your head. Because in some context, that's their goal, is to freak you out. And so what I advise people to do is, look, the rule of law is still our saving grace. We have a judiciary in this country that will support the truth. Take solace in that. Take prudent steps, but don't freak out. These people are not good enough for you to be freaked out about. Protect yourself, be measured about the effect the threat has on you, and know that you're going to be okay. Maybe don't freak out. It should be the next message you post. What he's trying to do is prevent Trump from having the joy of watching him squirm. This is a power game here. But I want you to play something. I want you to hear something. Ramon's going to play this audio back. And I want you to hear, we need to hear very carefully what he is doing. James Comey started life as a lawyer. He's been the FBI director. He knows exactly what he's doing. He's trying to wiggle out of what's known as the mens rea, the mental, the intent. To commit a crime. Almost every crime, not everyone, but almost every crime in Anglo-American jurisprudence requires what is known as a mens rea, a mental and intention to do it. That's why if someone is backing out from their driveway and there's a little baby back there, but they don't see it. And they run it over. And people will say, you murdered that baby. No, you killed the baby. But you did not commit what we would call murder because you lacked the intent to do it. And often a criminal will argue not, I didn't do it. We know he did it. You know, he could argue in this case. Instagram set me up or he could do the old Anthony Wiener. My account was hacked. Not likely. So the post is up. So his first line of defense is going to be I didn't know what it was. So that means I don't have the intent to do this. I wasn't threatening the president. You've been under investigation. I don't know if people like Miles Taylor and Chris Krebs ever have. There are a whole lot of people being disappeared from the streets for their political speech around the war in Gaza. I mean, what is it like to be under investigation? And how do people withstand that if that is indeed what's being ushered in? It's hard. It gets easier than more times you do it. Unfortunately, I have experience. But you have to do two things at the same time that seem contradictory. You have to be clear-eyed about the threat to you, if you're being threatened with physical violence or you're being threatened with an investigation. And to your family, you have to take prudent steps to protect yourself. But you have to do something else that's hard. You can't overstate the threat. When you're being targeted, there's a tendency to see the boogeyman under every bed that you sit on.

You can't give them that space in your head. Because in some context, that's their goal, is to freak you out. And so what I advise people to do is, look, the rule of law is still our saving grace. We have a judiciary in this country that will support the truth. Take solace in that. Take prudent steps, but don't freak out. These people are not good enough for you to be freaked out about. Protect yourself, be measured about the effect the threat has on you, and know that you're going to be okay. Maybe don't freak out. It should be the next message you post. So what you're hearing there, if he doesn't take this seriously, if there's nothing to this, nothing at all. He'd laugh it off and go, yeah, I said it. Of course I said. It's silly. Who doesn't? I have T-shirts that say, kill Trump. But he knows. He knows there would be a real case against him if that happens. So his first line on defense is, I don't even know what those letters mean. I didn't put them there. We thought my wife thought it was somebody's address. Really? Yeah.

Ray Breyer's is the pipe man. He owns Pipeyard Inc. And they buy and sell pipe all day long. And I am shocked how much business we've been able to send him across the country. Entire pipelines going across three different states where they need to get the pipe pulled out. He's like, I'll pull the pipe out, I'll sell the pipe. People buying pipe, people selling pipe. The people that buy pipe are environmental managers, pipeline project managers. Somebody that's got an abandoned pipeline that's been removed. They want the pipe yard ink, compliance and regulatory folks. They want to get those pipes out of there. Selling pipe, folks that need carbon steel pipe, the pipe yard ink stocks everything you need, any kind of pipe. There is stuff that people call him for, industrial stuff, that he doesn't even have, and he tracks it down. He's working his phone, and his team is working their phones all day long. He's got a yard, they've got pipe. They are working the phones to get stuff for people all day long. 409-788 pipe. 409-78 pipe.
