"Years have been a little interesting for me in the FBI. If you talk about Jim Comey, you talk about some of the top level. We've not probably had the best of worlds going on, but the field FBI agents are some of the best in the world. I truly believe that. And they have done some incredible work. And tonight, as we get started in this podcast, we start, you're going to really get a kick out of this because we have Mark soul here who is not only a marine. He's an FBI agent. He now trains. He's been all over the world. But he has some really cool cases. So Mark, let's just jump right into this. Mark, where are you from originally and sort of, how did you, how did you become you up until let's just say about the Marine Corps side? Let's go through that part first. Sure. I grew up in a Houston suburb called a Laporte Texas. And if you know anything about Texas, high school football is king, so everything around my high school upbringing and my wife's as well involved Friday night football. Hence, Friday night lights. But like so many after graduation from high school, the football career stopped there. So I lived in, I lived in that Laporte, Houston suburb, it's on the Galveston bay. It's a very blue collar community. My father and all my Friends, fathers worked in the chemical plants from the oil business. My father worked at as a contractor for Exxon, and so many others worked in the petrochemical plastics and so forth, very blue collar community. Of course everything in Houston is oil related. And then after graduation, I joined the Marine Corps. So

Yeah because some people might be latin battle. I'm into it. Thank you all right. So the next one on our list is natural disasters. And i think these are. I think when you have a natural disaster movie is not really in the horror genre. It's more like i would fill in the science fiction genre maybe or action or action on but if you really think about it natural disasters are pretty fucking scary. 'cause they're totally out of our control like just completely we're at the will of mother nature and that is scary and dwayne johnson Yes so this is from wikipedia and it is the great galveston hurricane also known as the nineteen hundred hurricane. It is it happened in one thousand nine hundred and it is the deadliest natural disaster in. Us history the hurricane killed anywhere from six thousand twelve thousand residents of galveston officially listed as eight thousand. Were killed crazy. Yeah on august twenty. Seventh nineteen hundred. A ship detected cyclone east of some small islands in the caribbean. It swept across the dominion republic and cuba as a tropical storm and it seemed to be weakening however by september eighth when it got to the gulf of mexico it gained strength and turn in to a full on category for hurricanes with winds up to four hundred forty five miles per hour. That is so scary like that is hurling bricks like a hundred forty five miles an hour you there bricks flying through there. Like there's that's fucking kuku the reason though it was so deadly besides the wins and the flooding caused it was also because the people of galveston were unsuspecting. That hurricane was headed their way. The weather bureau in galveston didn't firstly. Didn't want to use the word hurricane so they didn't avoid any panic because galveston is an island And the other reason was because they thought it actually turned towards florida and georgia and not stay on its path towards texas but it did and it hit landfall september eighth.

This was right after. All of that happened With getting out of the relationship and finally talking to my parents to her to my sister about everything a little more a little more detailed still not fully one of the things we do in high school was it would just drive down to galveston go to the beach. Sometimes sometimes just for the drive we would literally get there and turn around and it was usually had the music jam now and so we did that because she knew midas french struggling and i was so we needed just a happy a happy moment so we got in the car. Roll the windows down. Headed down forty five in blasted music. And we're singing sound like i'm sure nails on a chalkboard but we got down there and it was dark already and we parked on the beach and i said i really had been praying. Just god please give me peace. Please give me peace for for pretty much every day. Since i got out of that relationship in that moment i just felt nothing but peace and i knew that was a gift. I felt him in the stars. I felt him in the ocean. I felt him sitting in the sand next to me. It was still there. Were still hard days ahead. But i held onto that god is with you.

You've your relationship with god in. I experienced that exactly. Like that's what i would say. That was the hardest thing about what i went. Through as part of that Emotional psychological manipulation was that it changed how i viewed myself in relationship to guide and it changed how i viewed god. Can you talk a little bit about the changes that you noticed in yourself and the changes you noticed in hong you view yourself and god and all of that and how that played out in your relationship. Oh yeah so. I feel i have always had so much confidence in who i am not necessarily let me. I have insecurities believe me like any woman especially but i've always been so firm in. This is who i am. And it's because of christ. Like i know who i am. I know what stanford. I know where i'm going and i'm good with that. So when the relationship started he was not actively going to church. And i was and i said that was something that was important to me. I said i would never date a non-christian and so he told me he was. But he really didn't have relationship with christ like he said he. He was a believer but he didn't really have a relationship with christ but he wanted to and he thought that maybe i had been put in his path to to help encourage him..

"Had initially suspected they could be though again. Some portions south of the Houston area really did see a lot of rain and still are dealing with some effects, and it looks like as the storm has slowed and moves into Louisiana. That could be bad news for some communities in Louisiana that will receive a lot of rain They don't need right now. Joining us now is Harris County Flood Control District meteorologist Jeff Linder. Jeff Good morning. Good morning. So what? What happened overnight? I'm just curious along Houston's creeks and bios. Anything of significance. Yeah, the most significant flooding issues that we had overnight were on the lower portion of Clear Creek and we still have some minor over bank conditions down there around. I 45 no real impact. It's mainly just marsh land down there. That was a combination of the rainfall we had about 4 to 6 inches of the Clear Creek watershed and storm surge coming in from Galveston Bay. We actually had about Six FT of storms hurt come into clearly from Galveston Bay overnight. Uh, similar levels of storms served up at Morgan's point, and even into the lower part of the Centre Centre River, so a lot of the flooding that happened this morning actually came from the storm surge of the sea water. And not necessarily the water from the sky. Now, Once you go south of Harris County down in the Galveston, Missouri County, they did have more rain eight or nine inches of rain, and there is some flooding down there. The freshwater flooding In those areas and still some storm surge flooding down along the Gulf beaches. We have a question from a manual says wants to know Was this storm over exaggerated that people had to stay at home? Even if it wasn't that bad? Or was this just precautionary? Well, I think when you look at and this is leads to the point of what we always say is you have to continuously check the forecast. As we go forward in this storm, we did have significant forecast changes. Over short periods of time. You know, Yesterday morning we were looking at 15 to 20 inches of rain from us 59 south down towards the, uh towards the Gulf Coast. And then during the day before cast began to change to lower those rainfall amounts and push it further to the south and east out of Harris County, And so we transitioned from a potential flood threat here. And then last night, we saw those storms strengthened as it moved up to the coast and become a hurricane. And so we actually got more wind in Harris County and more impacts from the wind and the flooding, and this is what we always ask people. When we're in these types of situations, frequently check on the forecast and make sure you're staying up to date on the information because it does change with certain storm And this and this storm was certainly one of those that was, uh, changeable one. We have been careful not to draw comparisons to past storms. Each one is different, but it's hard not to think about Harvey every time when we're faced with severe weather. In the four years since, did we see anything anywhere approaching the kind of conditions we experience then? Oh, no, no, not with us. Not with not with Nicholas. Um and you're absolutely right. You know, you have to be really careful drawing conclusions of previous storms of for future storms their current storms because every storm is different. And you saw that with this one. You know what, Harvey? We didn't really have any any wind impact with this form. We did have wind impact, and we had widespread power outages this morning across the area, um, minimal rain and where we did have the heavy rain. It was isolated to one or two counties versus The entire region with Harvey. And so you know, this is why we caution of drawing conclusions of previous storms because impacts are different, and just the impacts with this storm are completely different from Galveston County. Versus Waller County, and in Harris County is kind of in the middle, um with worse impact down South East and virtually no impact to the Northwest. I'm going to ask Jeff Lender if you don't mind hanging on.

A lot of our. All of our guest commentary goes out free but the enterprise. What's what we we put a premium on is a our own enterprise reported in that's as generally always behind the wall excite the theory. The mike this has been michael has developed and we've developed here is that if it is somewhat commodity news like number about forty minutes houston. If it's the same news that houston's running or somebody else is going to be running. There's a time to put that out there for free. In all the covert information by the way somewhat related to covid in any way we put out in front of the wall we even had our local hospitals sponsor that but that was one of those things we consider public service.

Yes sir this is here the juneteenth magazine up to which i'm michael tunnel of it about that. That was actually further. The one hundred fiftieth anniversary a couple years ago and it was and we still live on our website. But you know juneteenth and michael can explain. This background is ingrained in the dna of the daily news. To the day it was read by general grange usa michael. Here's a little history on this. A well i can. I can talk mostly about the history of the time i was here. But but leonard's ride. I mean juneteenth is his always up until now been kind of a galveston holiday it began in galveston and it was kind of a small intimate local thing that people celebrated his family's and But it's always been part of the city of galveston is kind of spread out to over the years to Adjacent communities and and then even across the country and around the world. that's always been kind of a low key event celebrated mostly by the the black community. But it's always been something. I mean for decades and decades that the daily news is covered. We cover it like we cover the fourth of july or memorial day or christmas or anything else is just one of those local holidays. It's always on the news budget to cover In so celebrating the a major anniversary of the the event was just something that we we were gonna do. So when the hundred and fiftieth came around we we did a magazine on it. So you can look back through the archives of the daily news mike and you can see for years. We have published editorials Calling for this to become a national holiday or it deserves national recognition and it became part of what we do here in incense. The daily news is the oldest newspaper in the state of texas. Eighteen fifty two. It's actually older than texas itself. He's events were recorded on the front pages of our newspaper as they happen. So if you look back this. This is the beauty of a community newspaper. If you look backwards through time you can see this all play out on the pages of the galaxy county daily news and so you know it's we're michael said last week. Jimmy said holy. Cows thing happened at light speed. I mean we've been banging this drum for years and suddenly it goes out of nowhere and becomes a national or federal holiday so we were drilled. The george floyd crisis. And i think i can use the word crisis because many adults and one of our. We just did interview with the entire team with the star tribune on that crisis because what imagine having reporters that have to invest in gas masks you know and and and we're hit.

Which is perhaps linked to be equally controversial. Is the pressure that will be put on.

"You do just that to learn more about how you can help visit Houston public media dot org slash amazon Smile Thanks. We've spoken before about things that used to be in Houston but aren't anymore. Astor World the Comets and Arrows much more recently, the disco Kroger. There's been a similar disappearance of some key landmarks over the years in Galveston. Wayne Jones is executive director of the Galveston Historical Foundation. Tommy Boudreau is co author of The book Lost Restaurants of Galveston's African American Community. Dwayne Tommy. Good Morning. Welcome to the program. Good morning, Dwayne. Let me start with you. What immediately comes to mind for you when we talk about things that used to be in Galveston, but are not anymore. Well, there are several that come up to me come to mind immediately. One of them that most galvestonians talk about is the loss of the Ursuline Academy, which was just off 25th street in Galveston. So after Hurricane Carla, uh, that building have had some significant damage and It was removed within a few years after that, but it's it's one of Nicolas Clayton. It was one of those Clayton's really spectacular religious oriented buildings. And so we lost that. Some years ago. So that's the first one that most local people talk about as being a significant loss. What else? What other ones right after that? Well, you know, hurricanes aren't very kind to Galveston. So it's been one of one of the things that's probably determined the fate of a number of buildings that we would hate to lose. But I also think of the balconies room. I don't know if people recall right after Hurricane Ike that was totally destroyed. And for those who may not be a player with the Balinese room, it stretched out over the Gulf of Mexico from Seawall Boulevard, and it just fell into pieces from the the power of Ike and 2000 and eight But it was the great story. It was one of those sort of almost romantic and romanticized stories today in Galveston. About the underground sort of gambling and entertainment community of the island and the the 20th century, particularly in the mid 20th centuries with the Maceio family, So and I had this wonderful kind of, if you if you all remember that and see those images from the past this wonderful kind of Asian influenced architecture. That just set out there on the water with the It was just really, really amazing Little building and so that that was totally gone. And people still talk about it still has. I think it has some Sort of a social media thing following it, even to this day. Tommy, what prompted you to want to write a book about black owned restaurants of Galveston's past? Want to be honest with you. Um we were going to publish a cookbook. Um That Dr Jones, Dwight Jones suggested that we do After the first book, Allison I published and As As Blaine has sad, um Our storms, uh, devastated us over the years, and we found that we couldn't find a lot of recipes because so many people lost everything doing Hurricane Ike. But as we, um Start hearing stories about some of the restaurant owners, some of the great cooks and Galveston we decided that we would tell their story and included many recipes as we possibly could. Tommy. What are some examples of some of those restaurants that whether they were lost during Ike or or from other reasons, other times from Galveston's past that we all should really know about. Listen, had always been known for, you know, excellent food. So, uh, we had a number of them barbecue restaurants. Uh um, uh, Oliver barbecue stand why? It was called saying I don't know, because he You is indoor eating into a dining tiptop cafe, Honey Brown, Uh, people had their choice of restaurants and If they like one person leaks and the other person deal. That was kind of how you know things wet and you know, we had people of all nationalities. It was time to those restaurant and The owners were really kind of the head of this. African American communities. They were the ones who kept up with all of the city issues and so on those things that would be relevant to the African American community, Dwayne are there other restaurants or hotels from Galveston's past that stick out to you as landmarks that have come and gone. There are and I would like to mention a couple of those. But I was going to ask Tommy as she might talk about which is my favorite lost restaurant in her book, which is called the squeeze in and the building is still there, I think, but I love that name, and she might describe a little bit about it because it was pretty pretty distinctive. Yeah, By all means, Tommy. Okay, squeeze and was in an alley. Um, and the first time I heard about it, the name was kind of like uncomfortable for me. But, uh, found out that it was Mrs Richardson and her daughter who ran this. Restaurant in the alley only had about six tables and when they would prepare of the food, they had a special menu every every day, And once it was gone, it was gone. So you have people lining up in that alley waiting to get in 11 o'clock. My memory of it. I did, uh, either one day and I still remember this smothered pork chops and Mac Spectators and Grady Greens and corn bread. So, uh, it was. It was a very unique place and again. It's closed now, but the building is still there. And if you live there Dwayne, We have just a minute or so left. Can you talk a little bit about maybe some hotels in Galveston? It that aren't around anymore that people remember Sure, I think almost everybody would remember the flagship hotel, which was also over the Gulf, Mexico about 25th story, which came down also after Hurricane Ike and is now on entertainment center, of course, but The sea walls had a lot of lots of motels and the seahorse motel. People might remember that Jack Tar Motel, which was down, uh, near the end of Broadway, Uh, the Buccaneer Hotel would was also on seawall. This wonderful sort of shipped shaped hotel, which was called the S S. Galveston came down about 2000 and four So a lot of the things that we remember a lot of us growing up and coming to Galveston or hanging out down here. Lot of those motels and early hotels are are gone just because of the dynamics of real estate and the impact of storms. Still on those two Duane Jones is executive director of the Galveston Historical Foundation. Tommy Boudreau is co author of the book Lost Restaurants of Galveston's African American Community.

You know, they've been talking about all the all the people that died at the at the riot that January 6, then one of them, they always mention a Capitol police officer was killed. They say they say Capitol police officer was killed. Many times to be heard that right? This is CNN. And this is, uh, investigators are struggling, struggling to build a federal murder case involving fallen U. S. Capitol Police officer Brian Sick Nick, vexed by a lack of evidence that could prove someone caused his death as he defended the capital. During last month's insurrection. See, they're using all their terms, you know, defended insurrection and all this, but apparently there's it's unfortunate that he died the next day, but there's no evidence that He was murdered, apparently, according to CNN. Don't cancel May, according to CNN. State run media, saying this authorities have reviewed video and photographs the show sick Nick engaging with rioters amid the siege, but have yet to identify a moment in which he suffered his fatal injuries. They don't even know if it's an injury. See, they're not even writing this very well because they're not sure that it was a ninja ary, law enforcement officials familiar with the matter said. To date. Little information has been shared publicly about the circumstances of the death of the 13 Year veteran of the police force, including any findings from an autopsy that was conducted by the DC's medical examiners. Capitol, police have said. That's sick. Nick had been quote, injured, well, physically engaging with protesters and claps. There's a result of his injuries sometime after returning to his office. He died the next day in a local hospital. And sick Nick's case, it's still not known publicly what caused him to collapse the night of the insurrection. So they're saying it was his injuries. But now they're saying they don't know. Findings from the medical examiner's review have not yet been released. According to one law enforcement officials. This this probably should be the lead. Medical examiners did not find signs that the officers sustained any blunt force trauma, so investigators believe early reports that he was fatally struck by a fire extinguisher. Are not true. They're not. Those reports that you heard endlessly repeated for the last month are very fake, true apparent, according to CNN, and it's It's very unfortunate that Brian Sick, Nick died. But it appears the That he was not killed. He was not murdered. One possibility. Being considered by investigators is that sick, Nick became ill after interacting with a chemical irritant like pepper spray or bear spray that was deployed in the crowd knows, they say deployed Was not fired at the crowd because they were they were firing at a trump supporter, so it was deployed. It could have been cops using Pepper spray against Antifa, then it would have been fired at them. But investigators reviewing audio video of the officer's time around the capital haven't been able to confirm that in tape that has been recovered so far, the official said. I've been looking for the tape for a month. Obviously, the case could also be complicated if sick, Nick had a pre existing medical condition. So you know.
