Two Connecticut Police Officers Fatally Shot
"The story out of Connecticut literally breaks my heart. Two police officers were killed, murdered. When a suspect, and I'm not going to say that person's name, but a suspect staged a fake domestic violence call, which pulled the police officers into the scene, and then when they got there, they were met with gunfire. And because I have this, I guess, connection, this love for law enforcement. I'm going to say the names of the officers who lost their lives and I want to give a little synopsis of their career that was presented by the chief of police out there in Connecticut. The first officer, and I'm going to make sure that I have the names here. The first officer that was murdered officer Alex hamsey, which he was killed at the scene, sergeant Dustin, de Monte, he died later at the hospital, and then Alex Laredo was an officer who was critically injured. Seriously injured, but is going through surgery and we're praying for his recovery. According to what the chief said, officer of sergeant de Monte was 35 years old. It's also a school resource officer at the Bristol schools and an adviser for the Bristol police explorers cadet program. And the people that may not know about the cadet program, it is an extremely invaluable course that young people who aspire to be police officers can go through, they can become cadets. They learn a little bit about policing, you know, obviously they don't have access to having a firearm, but they still go through, they learn how to investigations are done. So young aspiring police officers that are not of age can go through the explorer program, which it takes an incredible officer. It takes incredible person to deal with young people and work with them through the learning curve of being a police explorer. Throughout sergeant de Monte's career, he had received several awards, including the silver star officer of the month, and he was co recipient for officer of the year in 2019. Sergeant Devante is a survivor or survived by his wife to children in one on the way. Which makes it even more upsetting that he had a child on the way and his selfless sacrifice, he lost his life, trying to help another person who was involved or allegedly involved in a domestic violence dispute.

Rep. Gonzalez Calls Out Republicans for Taking Undeserved Credit
"I love that The White House called out Ted Cruz for taking credit for something he voted against, which they all are shameless about doing, aren't they? We have a lot of that. Yes. We literally tweeted the ports to the plane's highway will run from Laredo all the way up to North Dakota and into Canada. This project will bring jobs to Texas and millions of dollars to the state great partisan victory. The White House just retweeted that with the thing senator Cruz voted against this. Yeah. Right. Yep. Right. So I have my opponent doing the exact same thing. In fact, you wouldn't even in Congress you got there on a special Myra floor is there taking credit for an infrastructure project in the district that she was at one time saying the Republicans who voted for the bipartisan infrastructure Bill should be voted out. So this has happened across the country. Republicans vote against our bills, but then take credit for the goodness that is happening across the country from Democrat proposals that we passed and that are doing great for the country. And I think the people know it and see it. And Republicans want to be part of it.

Border Patrol Agents Get Into Heated Exchange With Leadership During Mayorkas Visit
"The Biden administration has for cynical political reasons. Essentially left the border open porous. And people are pouring through a record numbers of people. It seems like every month we exceed the record of the previous month, the latest data from December shows a another record, 180,000 people across the border in December, surpassing the previous numbers to give you an idea only 75,000 crossed in December of 2020. So a big surge. And this is all being done, not just with the complicity, but with the invitation of Majorca, Kamala Harris, and of course President Biden himself. You can imagine what it's like to be a border patrol agent. And if you want to just get a sense of the kind of frustration that border patrol agents feel and being asked to do a job in an impossible situation, take a peek at this. Listen. If we're going to mention the number of exactly what's happening, this men are doing nothing. You're allowing the new aim here to talk about communities. You are doing something. You are. Your rescue and people every day. You're taking 5th all on streets every day. You're taking that benefit on the different ways. In the history of our country. In one year, in this country. So what's happening here? Well, Alex Mallorca is the head of the Department of Homeland Security DHS in town, and of course this is just bringing out the anger of the ordinary border patrol agents. And here's border patrol chief raul Ortiz. And he's in Laredo, Texas. And he's sort of trying to calm the border patrol agents and sort of put on a brave face like they're doing the best job they can and they're not having it. So Ortiz is basically saying, well, listen, you know, we're still doing a lot of good work, guys. You know, we're still stopping the fentanyl as best we can. And the border patrol agents are having none of it. They're saying, listen, there's record numbers of fentanyl coming in. They're coming in apparently with the kind of wink wink of the Biden administration. And so what are we even doing here? We can't even use the word illegal. We can't call them illegal aliens. And then, of course, Ortiz goes, well, you call them illegals right now. I'm not firing you, am I? So you've got a guy who's a supervisor, and he's obviously an apparatchik. In other words, he has to represent the Biden administration. He has to pretend like their jobs are not being systematically abused. But I love the line where one of the agents is in effect quoting Edmund Burke. That's exactly what's happening here. Good men are doing nothing.

The Scam to Turn Texas Purple With Haitian Immigrants
"The associated depressed many Haitian immigrants camped in a small Texas border town are being released into the United States to U.S. officials said undercutting the Biden administration's public statements that the thousands of the camp faced immediate expulsion Biden and his people are the most grotesque and unconscionable liars in politics ever They are unseemly they are pernicious they just lie and lie and lie about everything And so do their their little supporters like Terry mcauliffe who wants to be governor again in Virginia newson where they tried to destroy Larry elder they just lie through their teeth All 6 of them Patients have been freed on a very very large scale quote on quote on recent days according to one U.S. official with direct knowledge of operations The official was not authorized to discuss the matter and thus spoke on condition of anonymity put the figure in the thousands and now they think about 8 to 9000 Of the 15,000 Many have been released with notices to appear in immigration office within 60 days and outcome the requires less processing time and I'll get into this from border patrol agents than ordering an appearance in immigration court points to the speed at which authorities are moving The Homeland Security department has been busing Haitians from Del Rio to El Paso Laredo and Rio Grande valley they can hardly afford more illegal aliens too Along the Texas border And this week added flights to Tucson Arizona the official said Arizona's a purple state They want to flip it They want to turn Texas into a purple state and then a blue states all scheme It's all sabotage

But you get back in there and you can't see the building you can't see any of the roads from back. The brush just super thick moments later a second motorised the same location talking to another police. Officer is giving the exact same description and he said.

And when the police officer was telling me he was like. I don't know what the guy saw we went back. We looked with scenic footprints. The thing just walked off the planet vanished. That's ho- that's woo. i'll. I'll tell you man. Chris the very first time i ever went to a bigfoot conference I was. I was christened with the you know the we don't do the wu thing around here and i honestly back then i didn't either. I was like. Because i didn't really i was just new into looking at a topic and i as far as my limited perspective from these things. I hadn't talked to people about their encounters or anything like that I was like this. This must be just a hairy creature that we can't keep up within the woods and so like this guy. I'm not going to drop his name. I know love. You'll know who he is. And i don't wanna. I don't wanna start beef. But i'll tell you what he said. He starts talking about You know bigfoot and their capabilities physical capabilities and then somebody asked the question about if some kind of woo question and he went on and on and on about how. The wu has no place in serious bigfoot research and he he was just basically crapping on anybody who thought that bigfoot could be anything other than just a primate that we can't find and i'm just like dude.

"Steep slope on all four and His friend sketched what they saw and they start looking around the internet what they saw and it was the rake and i. It's just his his encounter was a drive by yours was several other people. You talked to these drive-by encounters. It seems like these things aren't very afraid of cars or being seen it's not like they're trying to be discreet. Where where did the guy. The guy have his encounter. Do you remember the guy guy. had his encounter You know so. I had him come and share. His story live. When i was doing that houston show and he came from houston or not from houston from dallas. So if i remember correctly it was the dallas area. So it wasn't near the laredo but 'cause i know texas in rhode island where every towns and next door neighbor is the size of rhode island so the king ranch. I couldn't even tell you how big the king ranch is. It fills an entire county unbelievable. That's crazy i. I had no idea how big texas was like comparatively until i drove from dallas texas to houston and it took like four hours and i'm looking at the medicine lake his just next to each other. I hear you know. And it takes me four hours to drive from philadelphia to pittsburgh and so that's just just gives me perspective as to how huge that state is. Just be glad you weren't going from el paso to orange. Texas is about nine hundred and eighty miles No thanks not interested. It's well we got a big state I can't even think big alaskans. That place is just ridiculous we huge. Oh la jolla. We've we such a big state. we get a little of everything Foot sightings big bird sightings giant birds. Ghosts gets a happens now. It sure is i mean. I've heard so many things at taxes. And i it's just it has to be partly because of the size there's geographically speaking. There's more opportunity for weird things to happen. But what about sasquatch with laredo. Is there any kind of reports of sascha Sasquatch around there. I can't saying people would ask me. When i was writing different books out selling books to hayes ever seen big especially little kids not always john. Now we don't have big foot in this area because it's too hot and then i started hearing reports about bigfoot in our area Alice texas which is is it ninety miles no allah i think sixty miles to our east a little bitty town and just north of alice is lake alice which is also called finley lake. Go figure liberty lake. It's got so the police in the alice area. The sheriff's department and the police department keep getting reports that people are seeing bigfoot roaming around lake. Alice they say they see it. They hear it. They've seen footprints The key they swear it's out there so the police have actually taken the reports. I was surprised because i drove over to lake alice. Why i drove over to alice. Texas and i asked at the police station about it. And there's y'all let me get you to talk to sewn so they've got all the reports and it's a pretty prevalent thing it's not a big lake in the weird thing is it's surrounded by farmland so for a big creature to sneak in and out of the lake. It would be pretty difficult unless it's only doing it at night when there's no moon well while i'm investigating this. I hear from a friend of mine guy named joe who is a paranormal investigator. Also he was driving from corpus christi to laredo he. He lives in laredo but he he was from corpus. He was going home to visit his family and then driving back for work. He's traveling about four o'clock in the morning and he's on fifty-nine coming from freer. Which you've got laredo. fear. Alice he's coming from freer halfway to laredo. And he sees a couple of dear standing on the side of the road but when you see deer standing on the road side of the fence you down because these things aren't the smartest preachers of the planet. They've been known to run right out in front of your car. Say solan down. Just make sure these two dear. Don't run in front of him. And he looks and he sees this creature standing on the other side of the fence from these two deer in first thought through his mind. Is that bigfoot. He kept going down the road. A little ways slammed on his brakes. Because it's like. Oh my god i just saw big bigfoot. He turns around because he wants to get another look as he's coming up on the spot where these two deer had been standing. He said he was suddenly overcome with horrible feeling of terror. He said one of these things. He's his hands are shaking on the steering wheel and he he's. He's afraid that this thing is gonna come out of the woods out of the trees and attacking. The feeling of terror continued until he was about a half mile down the road from where he'd seen this thing and then it was gone and he felt okay again then. He realized he's heading the wrong direction he's got turned around. It was going to drive. Pass this thing again and joe. I don't think you had a anything in the vehicle. Maybe a tire iron and he was thinking this tiny huge. It's like eight feet tall compared to the fence fences four and a half feet tall to the top wire so this thing was a good another three and a half feet above that. He's taken his body feet tall.

She was so freaked out that her friend had grabbed her dragged her the front door her like just push through the door then jumping her truck and take off now man. That's pretty weird. That two people would both described the same creature they said it was. It looked like the creature from the movie. It had great big bat type wings. it was shiny and had a really looking sites like well. Do people seeing something that gives it a little more credibility sean asking around is go from place. To place of your racine goes to groups. In ufo of use encrypted. Another person says the bay saw a giant bat flying over the laredo college south campus which is even farther south for more. The girl had been and he said when he looked up he saw this thing. The first thing popped into his head was. That's the thing from jeepers creepers. Then i started hearing farther south from a town called l. sinise also which is a a little town waste south it's Ten miles south of laredo. They would see this thing standing on the side of the road at night driving in and out of town For different people reported seeing and kinda makes me wonder what the world is flying around up in the of loreto.

When you start getting old and beat up. You can't perform as good as you want to. But i stuck it out anyway because as the paramedic you know it's like now i don't have to chase anybody.

Recent hat is the podcasting and the Writing books which you've written a lot of different stuff. I started out writing. Or and i discovered real fast that the people that bead horror some of them are not very nice when it comes to reviews and emails and things like that they expect everybody to be dean koontz or some really the best in the world. If you're not the best they're going to tell you so. One day i got to thinking. Well why don't i write some humor. And i discovered real fast. That humor is about twice as hard to write as or because just. Because i think it's funny doesn't mean anybody else's think it's funny so it's constant having the safe things my wife to see if she would laugh and if she just stared at me i knew well yes i'm gonna have to change that book and after i had written several humor stories. A friend of mine who ran the local paranormal research group the laredo paranormal research society. They were looking for somebody to write a book about their endeavors. Their history and i told him. Hey i'll give it a shot. Let's see what happens. And so for the next year. I'm hanging around with the l. p. r. s. now going on ghost towns. Ufo sightings reading all of their case notes listening to edb's over and over trying to make sure that what i'm hearing is actually a recording of something and not something. Somebody slipping over on me. I didn't want to say a lot of good things about these people and then find out later had been had yeah After a year of this i discovered they're the real thing. So i wrote the laredo. Purnell research societies history. In when i finished. I swore i was never gonna write another nonfiction book because work. It's ten times the work of fiction because to begin with a cast to be true. That's what nonfiction is then. It has to make sense in a fictional story if you want guys revolver to fire twenty seven bullets while it. Fires twenty-seven bullets. It doesn't work that way in reality so nonfiction. It has to add up. We were doing a ghost hunt Investigation out at our local sort military fort called fort mcintosh. It's now the laredo college and it was opened all the students and all the staff and we were wandering around doing the ghost towns looking at different things and the president of the college said. Has anybody ever written anything about the four. And of course every turned and looked at me. And i'm like well. There's a page about in the book. So as soon as i got home even though i said i wasn't going to do it. I started writing fort. Mcintosh the paranormal. That's when i first found out a lot about the little girl which will come up a lot in the future. once. I finished fort mcintosh in the paranormal. I had a whole lot of stories that people had told me that didn't have anything to do with the fort lots of go sightings ufo sightings and like. Well i've almost got a book written near. I might as well go ahead and hammered out. That's when i came up with paranormal the radio it was all the things given to me by people while i was writing the second book and it was an eye opener. I had no idea that laredo with such a interesting town and the way i approach people as kind of worries my wife. I think if. I'm standing in line at restaurant at a grocery store. I'll just turn anybody standing around me and i'll say. Have you ever seen a ghost. Are you serious to tell you why a lot of people will give me really weird looks. Then i'll handle my business. Cardinal say look i am a writer and i'm looking for stories and i've gotten a lot of really good stories that way and sometimes it's not the person of talking to i was at a luby's cafeteria and i asked the server. She said no never seen a ghost. The guy standing in line behind me says hey. I live in haunted house in about a week later. I'm sitting in his living room and he's telling me everything. There is about the weird things going on in his own Like i said i had no idea. Laredo was such an interesting town until i started on that. Third book paranormal laredo. And when i first got laredo.

Texas governor lifts mask mandate and allows businesses to open at 100% capacity, despite health officials' warnings
"Texas Governor Greg Abbott is ending coronavirus restrictions in his state. He announced this at a restaurant in Lubbock, where he also said businesses should reopen a week from today, Quote 100%. Now this is exactly what the CDC has said not to do and these public health measures early. Sarah self Wall Brick is a senior. Order a Texas tech public media and she was there covering the announcement. Hi, Sarah. Good morning. Practically What does this mean for Texans? So governor, Abbott said that starting next week, businesses will be able to open it. Full capacity and mass will no longer be required. He says he wants businesses and other entities to make those decisions. So, for example, supermarket chain H E B has already announced that they won't require customers to wear masks in their stores. So Abbott says, people should still do. It protects them. Right eye's rescinding the statewide mandate. So here's what he had to say yesterday. Personal vigilance to follow the safe standards is still needed to contain covet. It's just that now, state mandates are no longer needed. But did he explain why now? Dad, is it just that things are looking up across Texas at least when it comes to co vid hospitalizations air down even in regions like Laredo, and I'll Passo that have seen the worst of it. Vaccinations have gotten off to a really slow start here. Texas is obviously a big populous state, but less than 7% of the population is fully vaccinated right now, which is one of the lowest percentage is in the country. So you have mixed news case is going down, but vaccinations going slowly. How are people reacting to abbots announcement? It's definitely been mixed. So based on what I've seen on social media, I think a lot of people see this is a political move, especially after the fall out of the winter storm that thousands of Texans are still dealing with. I talked with a few lobby guides after the announcement yesterday because the mask me a date wasn't well enforced anyway. Dr. Craig Ryan with Covenant Health says We're sending the mask order may not do much. And he hopes that common sense prevails. I think that the people that have grown accustomed to wearing a mask and have gotten a sense of safety and security from wearing a mask will probably continue to do exactly that. Chris Bury owns a local restaurant is president of the Loving Restaurant Association. He hopes at its announcement will lead to higher consumer confidence. If everyone feels more comfortable and getting out and going out to eat and getting back to the quote unquote normal life, that's what we're looking forward to, and that's what we anticipated. Okay, That's how many businesses I would imagine might feel, But I'm curious about medical workers. The people who work on the front lines. Did you talk to any of them? I had. So I heard from one woman in particular. Christie Ginza, Who's a nurse practitioner who's been volunteering at Love Eggs, covert vaccination hub. Have a hard time believing the governor is taking advice from medical experts. He's put in labs and our economy at risk yet

Who is Alex Cintrón, the Astros hitting coach who instigated brawl with the A's?
"Brawl in baseball yesterday. Ramona Reynaud went right after Alex Cintron, who is the head coach for the Houston Astros, And this whole thing was bizarre to Maine. We know that there is a beef between the athletics and the Astros. Mike Fires used to pitch for the Astros was on the on the athletic still is on Lorraine. Oh, gets hit twice in the Siri's that the 2nd 1 I didn't see the first of the 2nd 1 was not intentional. But he was walking to first base is so John boy pretty much tryingto figure out what was going on. And I guess Laredo was trying to tell the picture had to throw the ball. Cintron asked, get suspended from saying his name correctly, If now I apologize, but the bench the hitting coach has to get suspended, has to get a lengthy suspension. Because he is basically egging on Lorraine. Oh, who's at first base? And it was gutless. What the hitting coach did he goes? Oh, yeah. You come over here You come over here. The guys 41 years old, if this is not A 60 70 80 year old heading coach. This is not who is the Mets pitching coach? That's your Phil Regan. This's not him or or the late. Great Don Zimmer with Pedro Martinez, where you see potentially an older person get thrown to the ground. That was not this. This a 41 year old yellow Nazareno basically, Tom come over and fight him, and he did the ultimate Gutless move off. I'm going to tell you to come fight me. But the minute when you take a step forward three for my players are going to step in front of me. And then I'm going to become Mr Hold me back, bro. Type of guy. That's the worst person in a fight. Someone that instigates the fight and then doesn't throw the punch and doesn't actually fight when someone comes charging at you because of you just being ridiculous in the dugout. That guy doesn't get popped if Joe Kelly gets it with what it was an eight game suspension. If this is it, the heading coach here for the Astros doesn't get At least eight games, then that's ridiculous. Albay have no clue how to figure this out. They'll mess it up. Did you agree with that? Then we have a heading coach, basically telling Laredo to come over and fight him. Or Laureano. Excuse me. To come over and fight him. And then he lets what 34 of his players take care of it that was weak. Yeah, it's weak and it's like extra dumb when the league is begging you not to have a bench clearing altercations, and then you instigate won as a coach, not even a player for seemingly I don't even understand the reason. And it even begins. So, yeah, you would think he's going to be in big, big trouble, too. We

Trump Administration Prioritized Border Wall Construction Over Other Options in Flawed Process, Government Audit Says
"Called President Trump's Border wall 1/14 century solution. They say artificial intelligence and new surveillance technology. Khun Secure the border without spending billions on steel and concrete. Now comes a government watchdog report that false customs and border protection for not considering alternatives to the wall. NPR's John Burnett reports. Trump's giant wall gets all the buzz. But customs and border protection is quietly testing a new generation of free standing surveillance towers on the Arizona border that could revolutionise border security. Telescoping towers are equipped with infrared and daytime cameras, along with laser range finders and illuminate er's that can zoom in on a target miles away for a close up there mounted in the bed of a Ford F 1 50 so they're completely mobile, and they can be operated remotely. They can tell an agent if the object moving north is a cow or a single migrant or a family camera. See, something is going to alert and send that information to an agent in the field. Directly. So if I have a phone now, my phone haven't app on it, And that information will come directly to me. That CBP is Kelly good as deputy executive director of the program Management Office. He's in charge of technology acquisition. I met him last march at the Border Security Expo in San Antonio, where domain awareness technology was the hottest gear with Trump's border wall Now approaching $25 million a mile, I asked Good. How much to the mobile towers cost, huh? The lesson 1,000,000 less than a 1,000,000. That's the same question the inspector general of the Homeland Security Department had last month, the watchdog released a report critical of the border patrols. Single minded fixation on a wall is the answer to border security. The inspector general wrote. Quote CBP is an ability to effectively guide this large scale effort poses significant risk of exponentially increasing costs. In fact, the audit said, Border Patrol insisted on a wall even though the agency's own internal analysis said technology and boots on the ground were smarter solutions in certain regions. Representative Henry Cuellar is a Texas Democrat from a border district where CBP proposes to build 121 miles of barriers. We now are in a time we can build this virtual border wall technology. We have that already. I mean, you got the autonomous surveillance powers. But there is a political pressure from the White House. They're saying build me the wall. Get me mild. Last week, Three landowners in the Laredo area filed legal documents in federal court trying to stop the government from condemning their riverside property for wall construction. One of their arguments is Thie Inspector general's report. Carlos Flores is an attorney representing the property owners. 10 years
