Soros Funded Chaos | Far-Left Prosecutors, LA Riots, and Breakdown of Law With Attorney Ken Good

There's nothing left for us to say.

Hello and welcome back to Investigator Earth Podcast. I'm your host Chad alongside my beautiful wife Sherry. On tonight's episode we're joined by attorney Ken Good. He's a Texas bail attorney and board member of the Professional Bondsman of Texas. And with the Trump administration bringing back a tough on crime approach, we're diving into what that means for bail reform, especially after years of progressive policies under Biden. We'll also break down a little bit of the recent ICE raid in Los Angeles and the riots that followed yesterday.

It's going to be a powerful conversation. Let's get right into it. Ken, good. Welcome back to the show. You've been on our show a couple of times, right, Ken? I have. And thank you so much for having me back. Not a problem. So obviously everything's been going on. We just covered last night to the L.A. riots, which we're probably going to get a little bit into tonight. But Ken, give us a little bit of the background of what you do as an attorney out there in Texas.

Well, I specialize in bail law, which kind of sounds a little weird, doesn't it? I don't think anybody goes to law school thinking, you know, I'm going to specialize in bail law. I think it's very specialized right now, but I've written articles all over the United States about what is good bail reform, what is bad bail reform, what works, what doesn't work. Noted case law, you know, we've had some cases that

were used as an example of bail reform, but nobody ever reported that when the Fifth Circuit reversed it multiple times and then said it should have never been filed in federal court. And so I just kind of feel like if nobody is kind of saying this side of the story, nobody's really telling the

telling it, you know, what works on bail reform and what doesn't. I mean, nobody's highlighting the study from Yolo County that is devastating to our far left friends on what they're trying to do to the country. Yeah.

So I remember, you know, you've come on the show a couple of times, and I think that both times maybe was during the Biden-Harris administration. And obviously during the Biden-Harris administration, so many of our listeners know that there was a lot of prosecutors, it seemed like, that were installed or put in place, especially from some of these NGOs. I know George Soros with the Open Society Foundation, heavily funded, multiple prosecutors across a lot of these major cities. A lot of these cities are also known as sanctuary cities, but

People could essentially commit violent crimes, be let out, or sometimes without bail. Is that kind of what you're referring to? And is that still happening today? Yes, I would say that is part of what I've been looking into and what I've written articles about. But we have learned so much information about exactly what you're talking about. I mean, these groups are so well organized. We have the first group in this little group.

Menagerie, you know, they recruit soft on crime DAs to run for election and then they give them a whole crap load of money. And it's usually five times what's ever been needed to win that race before or ever been spent in that race.

And so they get elected, and then there's a second group that invites them to seminars, and they give them a whole bunch of policies, which is almost like a quid pro quo. This is what you will do, and it's terrible policies. It would be stuff that you would look at and say, this is going to increase crime. Common sense says this will increase crime. They will no longer seek enhancements on drug charges or a whole bunch of charges.

They're not going to seek long sentences. And so then they have the third group that's going to issue pseudoscience studies that are going to say, when you enact these policies, crime will not increase. And then the final group will show them how to sell that to the public.

And now here we are. I would say we've, you know, look at Gascon from L.A. who just got his butt kicked running for reelection the second time. And I would say in in in the last couple of years, we've learned those DA's policies don't work and they're absolute failures to the extent that they only have they have a very short shelf life.

They'll either have one term or no more than two terms, and the public will turn on them because their policies are so bad. Yeah. And George Gascon, who you're talking about, you know, obviously one of the furthest left prosecutors out there. And, you know, he was responsible for so much of what has happened, in my opinion, in the

to why Los Angeles went so far downhill. And, you know, obviously we heard, especially during COVID, I think this is really where it started to ramp up where, you know, these stores are being looted. They weren't charging people for less than $900. And even in most cases over $900, it was like they were just getting get out of jail free cards.

Um, what did Gascon, like, how much do you think that he actually contributed as a prosecutor and just the whole bell issue and how all of that worked? How do you think that that really contributes to the violent crime or the crime in cities like Los Angeles?

Well, I think that he's the poster child for this issue. And I think we can put a lot. I mean, we can't put everything at his feet because he was recruited by these groups. And, you know, I think the lesson from this is we should take advice from these advocacy groups on what policy should be. But we should never outsource our policies to these groups.

Because these groups will never admit that the policies didn't work because this is what they raised money off of. And so when you outsource these policies to them, they're just going to argue, oh, we just need more time. We just need more time for it to work. And so they're never going to give in. And so you have DAs that are either removed from office or they're recalled or they decide not to –

decide to retire or not run for reelection. And if they do, they get their butts kicked. Gascon is the best example because we have Prop 47 that passed in California and the

you know, the premise of it was we were changing some felonies to misdemeanors and we were still going to, they were still going to have to answer as misdemeanors, but this would allow them to get jobs. And then on top of that, Gascon said, well, for theft under $950, we're no longer going to prosecute that now that it's a misdemeanor. And that's where a lot of this started. It's just, you know, like a little snowball that just picked up steam and got bigger and bigger and bigger because when you start, you know,

uh,

When you start no longer prosecuting crime, well, then people see that as it's okay. Stores can't withstand $25,000 a day of shoplifting. So they start closing and then it becomes, oh, it's not safe in that area because of crime. And then you see, criminals see that as a green light to commit more crime. And then here's the problem. The biggest problem is gangs, organized crime and career criminals just step in and

and figure out ways to make money hand over fist. And then the way it kills our inner cities is the last way is

property values. Commercial properties in San Francisco and L.A. are selling for a third to 50 percent of what they were selling five or six years ago. And so that's why you're starting to see some mayors come out and go, this is not sustainable. Our taxes are going down. And so that's why I've always been helpful. I mean, hopeful in this area, because I've

It's not sustainable. It falls apart on itself. And that's what we're seeing. But they're not giving up. We just saw a DA in Harris County where these groups picked Kim Ogg. And then she saw the light and said, I'm not supporting these policies anymore. They don't work. So what do they do? They put up another candidate to run against her and

He kicked her butt in the primary a year ago in March, and he won the general by one or two points. So we have a new one in Harris County. But with all this stuff going on, he's kind of gone underground. He's been very, very quiet. But he won with tremendous support from these groups. Yeah.

And we were talking about the Open Society Foundation, or also known as OSF. Now, it was founded by billionaire George Soros and has been a huge financial backer of progressive criminal justice reform, including efforts to reelect far left prosecutors like we're talking about. And some of these prosecutors, Larry Krasner, Philadelphia, Kim Fox, Chicago, Illinois, George Gascon.

Chisa Budin, I think is the name, San Francisco. These prosecutors are obviously elected on platforms focusing on ending cash bail, reducing incarceration, decriminalizing low-level offenses, and prioritizing social justice over the traditional, I guess, tough-on-crime approaches. But now

Now, these fun in advocacy groups, you're thinking, you know, you're talking about like Color of Change PAC, the Justice Collaborative, the Fair and Just Prosecutions, the ACLU, which is obviously I think they're about to sue, if I'm not mistaken, Trump with the, you know, the Los Angeles riots and all this stuff.

What do you think? Do you think I mean, obviously, it's a coordinated effort, but what is the purpose of the society like the Open Society Foundation, George Soros and so many of these outside NGOs that want to heavily fund these far left prosecutors that obviously it seems like and we've talked about it many times on the show.

It seems like if you want to destroy the fabric of America, you do it from within and you do it by electing these far left prosecutors, letting out the worst, the worst criminals and then trying to bring in as many more criminals as you possibly can, whether that's through wide open borders. And it just, you know, it envelops into just chaos. What do you think the overall goal of this is, Ken? And is there a way that this can be fixed, even with Trump being in office right now?

Well, I think there's probably multiple theories, but I have two theories that probably would explain this. But I would start with it's a coalition. So, you know, not everybody in the coalition agrees. But I think first I would say the largest budget item for a county is law enforcement. So anything that they can do to cut that budget is.

and they can then move that money to social programs, which is what they've done in areas where they've cut the police funding. They just move that money over to social programs. So I think if you give them – I think part of it is to get more money for the programs that they want to push. But then I think there's a second theory on –

You know, they've drank the Kool-Aid and they thought, you know, we're going to take these policies into urban areas, which are strong Democrat stronghold or Democrat stronghold. And they're going to be so successful. Then we're going to be able to take them all over the United States and prove that this is the way to do criminal justice.

I don't think it's the second one because, you know, if it was, then they would be admitting it's not working and we would be trying something else. But they're still pushing them. They're still pushing them even today. So I think it's either the first one.

with a little bit of this social justice thing, which just gets on my nerves so bad because it's really saying we have to put up with more crime. And if we just said, will you support more crime? I think the public would just say absolutely not, especially the way they present it. Because when they're saying, oh, we're doing these policies to help a specific minority,

What they don't say is when crime goes up, it's that same minority groups that get hurt the worst the first, because when crime goes up, it goes up in our minority communities much quicker. Yeah, no, I agree with that. And, you know, to the narrative, and I don't want to stay on the Open Society Foundation, but, you know, they do also support mainstream media and academic projects and colleges and, you know, all across the United States.

So it's almost like, you know, where they fund the prosecutors, they also fund the media and then they control the media to a point where if they need to activate their troops in some ways. Right. The social justice warriors, the people that we are seeing across streets right now, the people we've seen during BLM riots and Tifa riots.

They can utilize media to activate the people that then also they have the prosecutors in place to make sure that, hey, those people are not going to be prosecuted. It's almost like a green light, like you said. The question is, you know,

It's obviously in most of the big cities. These are the far left leaning cities that this is happening. Is this still going on today? I mean, are we still seeing these far left prosecutors being put into office even as the Trump administration just kind of had a landslide victory?

Well, I mean, I would say it is slowed down greatly. And I read an article recently said that there's only one Soros prosecutor still left in office in the state of California. So I would say they're still trying to put up new candidates. But the problem is their existing ones have a very short shelf-like life. And I think that, you know, if you want to know how big this is, you could argue that these groups are a shadow government, right?

right now, you could argue that Biden's administration outsourced all of their criminal justice policies and immigration policies to these groups. And, you know, you could even say that Mayor Adams in New York, when he didn't support the party line, that's the reason why he got attacked. That's the reason why he had charges filed against him. And I would say if that is

If you agree with that theory, then you would look at what's going on in L.A. right now and you'd say it's all orchestrated response from those groups with manufactured signs. And they're just reacting to the what Trump is doing and they don't like it. And so this is their response. Yeah. So you as an attorney, Ken, what are you kind of focusing on to try? Is that kind of your main goal is to try to fight against?

this and against these liberal or far left prosecutors? Or what is your mission as an attorney yourself? Well, I like to talk about what are good...

criminal justice policies, what are good bail reform policies. And I like to point out what doesn't work. And a lot of these policies that you can talk about in our urban areas are just bad bail policies. So like we just finished a legislative session in Texas where they passed a major bail reform and it was on the side of criminal justice, strengthening the criminal justice system. So it would be good bail reform.

Anything that strengthens accountability and puts penalties when you don't do what you're supposed to do, if you don't show up for court, and that's going to strengthen the system. I mean, the problem that people don't realize is when you make it easier for people to miss court, cases get put on hold. That creates big backlogs, and backlogs are pressure to dismiss cases because we're always adding on.

on average, the same number of cases to the criminal justice conveyor belt that has to get through the system in a year. And so if you slow down the cases that get through, then you have a bigger backlog. Backlogs create pressure to dismiss. Dismissed cases is considered a green light for criminals to commit more crime. And that's what we're seeing in our urban areas. Yeah. Yeah.

And we're going to get to the L.A. thing because I want to talk a little bit about that in just a moment. But I would be remiss if I did not ask you about Letitia James and Alvin Bragg in New York, the Southern District of New York. Obviously, the Southern District of New York, they have had a lot of very high profile cases. I believe they are also the ones that are taking up the

P. Diddy case. I think they had the Epstein case, but also they had the Trump case where he was charged with, what, 34 felonies. Most of these most of these charges were, you know, originally misdemeanors that were then upgraded to felonies because of the, I guess, statute of limitation. Not exactly sure how that all works, but

But when people see this, right, I mean, people see, you know, stuff like George Gascon in Los Angeles and all these sanctuary cities where they're letting off criminals right and left. But then you have someone like President Trump that was charged with 34 felonies. People look at our justice system right now and they're like, man, is our justice system really the best justice system in the world? Because a lot of people don't necessarily believe that even now.

I mean, I hate to even bring this up, but we've been watching the Karen Reid trial. So there's a lot of speculation. Like, did Karen Reid actually hit her husband or is this some type of coordinated effort in some way, shape or form? How do you see the justice system right now just in whole outside of the far left prosecutors that are being put in place in America?

Well, outside of the far left prosecutors, I'd say we have the best criminal justice system in the world. Is it perfect? No, but it's it's the best in the world. It tells you how politicized they can be all over the world. And we have to work to get politics out. But when you talk to me, we talk about examples like you've mentioned, Miss James, where she ran for election on I'm going to get back.

you know, Trump. I mean, that was her whole promise. And you just look and see what's happened to her since. And you go, you know, what's good for the goose is good for the gander. I just think that here's the problem we have is when we have these prosecutors that are, that have this criminal justice reform and social justice reform, it turns our criminal justice system into something that's only going after political opponents.

Or that's the way the public sees it, because we're being so forgiving for our allies and we're being so destructive and we make up new theories.

for people who are our opponents. And so the public sees through that. They see that as not fair. It's not fair on either end of the spectrum. It's not fair for crime in our inner cities, for the people we're just telling them you need to put up with more crime. It's not fair to your political opponents to be...

Punishing them just because of for their beliefs, which I think you could make a very good argument, especially with Miss James, with the way her campaign was being run. And she's an attorney. You know, we're supposed to be careful about anything that would create an appearance of a bias. Well, she not only created a bias, she ran on a bias and she executed that bias. I mean, yeah.

I mean, you can't say that she didn't do exactly what she promised. And before she was elected, I mean, you know, I tell bondsmen at times, you know, if you have

an assistant DA who gives you the benefit of the doubt on a close call, then you have an assistant DA worth their weight in gold. Because Ms. James is an example of not only did she have no doubt, she would not give any benefit of any doubt to Trump. How many other people did she disagree with, uh,

on the political spectrum that she decided I'm going to prosecute you and I'm not giving you the benefit of the doubt, which is not the way our system is supposed to work. Yeah. And like even with Alvin Bragg, for example, I mean, he would come out. He is a huge prosecutor for the Southern District, I believe. And, you know, he comes out and he has all these press conferences talking about, you know, hey, we're going to prosecute Trump. We're going to put him behind bars. We're going to do all this stuff. I mean, is that normal for a prosecutor to do? Like just be out there? And it's like, like you said, obviously showing a bias is

He's even worse because he initially declined to file charges after he got elected against Trump. And so he originally said, you know, reviewed the case and said, we decline. And then all the other cases fell apart. And so then he stepped in under political pressure to file his case. And as you mentioned, you know, the charges they took him under were misdemeanors, but they had to couple it with some other action to make it a felony to get around the statute of limitations.

But the problem is when it was presented to the jury, the jury was told you had to couple the misdemeanor with a different charge. But the jury could pick it, and they didn't have to all agree on which one. And so, I mean, they did – and that's never been done before. And so the jury was allowed to do backflips on theories of the law that have never been tested. And that's why I think –

I did an interview last week that was two and a half hours, and somebody was attacking me about Trump, a convicted felon. I'm like, "Well, first of all, this case is not final. It's on appeal. But second of all, you had your shot."

And the majority of the public evaluated what y'all did and decided that it was all for political reasons. And they did not like it. They rejected it. And they elected him president of the United States. Yeah. And I think that shows, too. I mean, everything that's went on the past four years, you would think that these people would wake up and be like, OK, so there was a landslide type victory from Trump and everything we did absolutely backfired. And yet they're still trying to do it, which makes no sense to me.

Oh, yeah. I mean, look at Biden, who declined to invoke executive privilege on behalf of Trump. First thing when there was a dispute over something regarding the Trump first White House. And so Biden said, no, I'm not invoking the executive privilege because he's the only one that can invoke it. So, I mean, can you imagine what would happen if Trump

if Biden, I mean, I look at it, if Biden passes away and his supporters want, you know, a national funeral, I mean, Trump is the type of person that would say no fricking way with the way he's treated me and my family. And he will not care at that point. He just won't care because he's, I mean, I think he, there,

There is no other individual in the Republican Party or in the Democrat Party that could withstand what he withstood and still get reelected. Yeah. I also have to ask you, too, because this is not necessarily about bail reform, but

You see Trump making decisions that is, you know, he's essentially trying to make better what the decisions by auto pin that, you know, Joe Biden did in his presidency, which we still don't technically know who was actually running the White House or our country during that four years. I mean, we know that Biden was.

um, heavily degraded as far as his mental capacity. He, he, he was on stage. They probably, I don't know. I mean, there's a lot of people that speculated they put them on drugs when they went out there just to try to get through teleprompter. Who knows? We don't have the speculation, but either way, this guy is someone that has access to the nuclear football and you know, he has all of our, our, our most important secrets and all this stuff. The question is though, is do you think that, um,

With the way Biden was and especially everything he did, now Trump's trying to kind of reverse a lot of these things that was damaging our country. And now you have these federal judges that are basically making these rulings against the president of the United States. Is that a legal thing? Like, is that constitutional that federal judges can come in and say, hey, you can't deport these people. You can't deport these people. We're making federal rulings. What side of the fence do you err on that? Just as far as legality, is it is it?

constitutional for a court or a federal judge to do that when a sitting president actually issues a deportation order for a certain amount of people or whatever.

No, I mean, we're not being told the truth on these issues. The issues are so complicated. You know, the level of due process that's applicable in a given situation varies. I mean, if someone's already been subject to a deportation order, you know, nobody even talks about how the only due process they're entitled to is a writ of habeas corpus where they deny they're that person. I mean, that's it.

And so a lot of these things that they're saying, oh, they haven't received due process. Yes, they've received due process. They already have an order from the immigration courts of removal that's been appealed and sustained. So we're just – and –

You know, we've got the separation of the different branches. We've got the legislative, we've got the judicial, and we've got the executive, and we've got the judicial trying to take over the executive branch. And I'm going to tell you, my position is I don't think they even think they're going to win. That's not the purpose of what they're doing. Their purpose is to slow Trump down. He's only going to be in office for four more years. In some ways, he's already a lame duck. But so he's been in office for...

Two months, three months, four months, five months. They've only got three and a half more years to go. So I think what's going on is they're just trying to slow Trump down with the hope that in four years the Democrats will come back to office. But the way things are right now and what the Democrats are doing,

what hills they're dying on. I mean, they could be in the political wilderness for a decade if they're not careful. Yeah. And it seems like that's what kind of they've done to themselves. And obviously you're from the state of Texas and Texas was a huge state during the border crisis over the last four years. And, you know, I know your governor, he worked very closely with Trump. There's a lot of people that have kind of said, you know, did the governor do as much as he could? There's a lot of people that said, you know, maybe he didn't, I don't know.

But either way. Oh, no, absolutely. He worked very hard to oppose the Biden administration on immigration policy. And the state of Texas stepped up and spent about nine billion dollars trying to step into that void that the federal government under Biden would not would not do. And and the really the two faced part of this is when Biden decided to run for reelection and he was announcing his successors.

on the border. He was citing Texas as his success in decreasing the number of people who crossed the border when everything that Texas did was in spite of him and was spending its own money because he refused. And yet when it came time to take credit, when they saw what a terrible issue it was, they just absolutely lied and claimed it was all because of their actions.

And so, I mean, they just alienated everybody in Texas. Yeah. And that border issue with Texas, you know, like Texas DPS. Yeah. When there was a standoff. Yeah. You guys remember there was a standoff. We have border counties in Texas that voted for the first time Republican voters.

I mean, it was like seven or eight counties. It was a huge deal in Texas. Yeah. And so and that's the point is like, I guess, obviously, the federal authorities during that time, ICE and U.S. Customs Border Patrol, obviously, they're under the command of the president or Department of Defense, whoever. But I guess Texas Department of Public Safety didn't really have a say necessarily as much in what was going on at the border. How was that fight developed?

I mean, do you recall like what the fight was? Oh, absolutely. So, you know, there was a lot of things that would go up in the courts. And early on, there were policies where they were setting up barriers and the federal government would sue to take them down. And they and the government would win at the U.S. Supreme Court.

And so, you know, the governor called up the Texas National Guard. They were doing all kinds of things. They got smarter at it. And, you know, they started winning a few cases at the end before Trump came into office. So I think they I mean, they were smart and they I mean, but what?

Governor Abbott would say is we stepped in and did the job that the federal government refused to do. And I think the public and the way the border counties switch from Democrat to Republican, I think the public completely supports what Abbott did on these issues. Yeah, I agree. And I think what's happening in L.A. is the exact opposite or reverse of what went on in Texas. Yeah, exactly. Well, and, you know, some of the stories that you're still not seeing reported, especially you're not seeing it in California and L.A., but...

California decriminalized marijuana and also with their open borders, you have cartels, not just for Mexico, but for other parts of the country, bring their whole operations into the United States. In California, they would look for federal land and they just take it over. And

And, you know, the legal marijuana market in California that was supposed to be raising all this tax dollars starts filing for bankruptcy because it's being taken over by the cartels.

I've posted a story about that before the election and it immediately got deleted. I've never had a story that I've shared on Facebook get deleted. And I'm like, what's the deal? I thought it was just a mistake. I shared it immediately again. It got just immediately deleted. No comment, nothing, just deleted. And I was like,

well, maybe I've just been tricked and fooled. Maybe that's really not happening. Well, then Trump started talking about it. And then after he won, shock, shock, shock, they quit censoring Trump.

the cartel stories. And I really, it's my belief that anything dealing with cartels and drugs being brought over illegally for the borders, anything that was other than just people who want a better life,

was being censored before the election. Oh, it's wild. I was saying on last night's episode that during the last four years, I mean, we would post something on Instagram or Facebook or whatever, and it was just useless for us. That's why we really didn't do a lot of it. We haven't grown hardly at all on Instagram and Facebook because everything we post, if you know, and the weird thing was I started researching and it was like, if they

Ty, you know, obviously our name on our social media is Investigate Earth Podcast. We take out the conspiracy part or any of that stuff. But they still somehow, I believe, connect the algorithm. The algorithm connects

our name on social media to our podcast platform. And so therefore they automatically kind of censor us. Soon as Trump got in, we actually started getting some, some waves. So we, we have videos right now. We've been posting over the past four or five days, especially about this LA thing. And we've got probably almost a million views on like five videos. And so there's been a huge change. And obviously Mark Zuckerberg, when, as soon as Trump got elected, he's like, Oh no, we're going to not censor anymore. We're all good now. Um, and we never wanted to censor.

Yeah, we never wanted a censor. But as you said, yeah, you could have stories that just disappeared. Now, the L.A. riots that's going on right now, you know, how much of this reminds you of the 2020, you know, summer of love, as they called it? You know, remember when CNN was on the news and I told everybody we just got a merchandise store up, investigator store dot com.

And I told everybody last night, I said, I'm going to have a store or a shirt and I want a shirt that has like a news anchor and he's standing there. And in the background, I want like the buildings on fire and I want the bottom of it to say mostly peaceful protesters because that's what they called him in 2020. How do you see these L.A. riots in comparison to 2020? And what do you think is going to be done with the people that are arrested? Do you think they're still going to maybe be let out or is the federal government going to step in and prosecute them?

Well, OK, so I think the federal government will step in and prosecute. They're going to be pushing the full weight of the U.S. attorney's office behind this. I think it's very similar to what happened in 2020, where it's all about messaging and not about the truth. What scares me is I've talked to a couple of people in the last week who

And I had one person tell me, oh, I was in I went to Minneapolis during those riots and they were peaceful. I mean, there was not any damage. And I was like, you know, there's not really anybody that believes that anymore. Then even the governor of of that state eventually called the National Guard. And that was when it stopped. It wasn't until then. And and so I think and then somebody was telling me, oh, yeah.

I mean, there's been all these stories in the last two days. Oh, well, they're just peacefully watching cars burn. So if you send the National Guard in, that's going to agitate them and that's going to cause – and they're saying, oh, the proliferation of the violence is Trump's fault because he's sending the National Guard. Well, that's bullshit and that's all messaging because all – they –

I mean, they don't want to be blamed for it. And so everything is Trump's fault. I mean, it's just ridiculous. If you look at the sheriff for L.A. County, he's done kind of a complete 180. We don't need him. We have a process now. Oh, now it's a problem. Well, I mean...

And I saw that literally yesterday. This is where we are in politics. You can't work with each other anymore if you're from different parties. They can't work with Trump because he's a Republican. And so you hear all this crap about how Trump is a threat to democracy. And I've really concluded Trump isn't a threat to democracy. Trump is a threat to Democrats. And that's the reason why they react the way they do.

Yeah. And to your point, Los Angeles County Sheriff, can't remember what his name is right now, but he is a he is a native of Mexico. Obviously, he is in a lot of his press conferences and everything. It seems like that he has been heavily siding with the rioters and I'm calling them rioters. Now, not all of them are rioters. I mean, there are definitely some people out there that are protesting and there are people that we talked about last night.

They're a lot smarter and coordinated than people think. Right. So if you it's interesting, if you watch some of these videos, you'll have a police line and then you'll have a line of protesters. And then on the other side of the block, you'll have a line of protesters and a line of police. And the police, it always seems like are holding back the protesters from going in one direction or the other. But they're protecting the people on the inside. And the people on the inside are usually the ones that are throwing bricks, rocks.

They were throwing fireworks, literally like mortar rounds at police. And soft water bottles is what CNN reported. Yeah, they're just throwing soft water bottles, guys. I mean, this is nothing, you know, even though I think they were probably frozen water bottles.

Yeah, but you know, one of the things that nobody realizes, if let's go back and look at these other situations, they go the police. And then since they are in Democrat strongholds, then they'll pick something out and then they'll file suit against the county. And so it's an activist group funding the lawsuit against a similar minded county or state. And what do you know, a year or two later, they gave them a huge settlement for

saying, oh, they were wrong, you know, that the activists were right and they were wrong. And it's just ignoring the law and it's just funding the activist group for the next thing. And so, I mean, I would have thought five years ago that you could have never convinced me that these were orchestrated, well-organized, and probably by these same groups that are pushing this crappy bail reform or bad bail reform in our urban areas. But they are, but

And, you know, the biggest shock to me is that's come out after Trump has been reelected is that –

They figure out a way for the taxpayers to fund all this crap through NGOs. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, that's what they do. I mean, that's insulting. Yeah. And that's the crazy thing. I mean, all the stuff that we see, a lot of the stuff we see that's wrong in our country, a lot of the riots, a lot of the coordinated efforts. We actually just posted a video on Instagram yesterday that shows these pallets of bricks and cinder blocks showing up right around, right around where the riots were going to be. Oh, but wait a minute. That was because there was a home depot right there. You ask these people, you're like, are y'all in favor of...

of illegal alien criminals coming into our country. Let's just I mean, and that's what they refuse to talk about. They refuse. These are hardworking people who just want a better life. Well, wait a minute. So you're saying you're in favor of setting up policies that ties the hands of government so they can't even address hardcore criminals, gang members, drug dealers coming into our country because that's what they've done.

in the name of we just want to be compassionate. I mean, that's so similar to what they've done to bad bail reform, bad criminal justice reform. We just want to be compassionate. So they tie the hands of the judges so they can't address the truly bad elements. Yeah. Ken, have you been in politics before ever? Or I mean, do you work a lot with politicians? Well, I do. You know, we...

I have my own podcast called thebellpost.com and we do, all we do is criminal justice issues and we just address what works and what doesn't work. And I go to the legislature and I testify on bills. I mean, this legislative session just ended last week, but you know, I was there to testify on a bill for three minutes and I'm pissed off some people. And so they ended up questioning me for 45 minutes and they thought I would back down and I wouldn't have the data to support my position. And I, and you know,

We do this all the time. So absolutely, I had it. So they were very frustrated that I wouldn't back down because I'm right or I believe I'm right. And so, no, I haven't been in politics other than that. And what was that issue that you're...

Well, see, there was a representative, Representative Moody from El Paso, who had proposed a bill to do a presumption of a personal bond for all misdemeanors across the state of Texas. So if you're arrested for a misdemeanor and state jail felony, you're just going to be simply released.

like they do in California for all misdemeanors. And, you know, the Yolo County DA was on my podcast and said, yeah, we have an 80% failure to appear rate on all misdemeanors in the state of California. So, I mean, 80% failure to appear rate versus less than 10% for the bail industry. You can imagine what damage that does to the criminal justice system very quickly.

And so they thought, oh, well, no, that's not right. I'm like, well, yeah, I've got here's the studies that support that. And here's a website, Harris County Court Watch, that has two years worth of data from Harris County using simple release mechanism for all from 90 percent of all misdemeanors. And they have an 80 percent failure to appear rate on average over two years.

Well, that can't be right. Yes, it is. I mean, you know, the sad thing is it's, you know, y'all did a settlement where you enacted, where y'all built a new web system to specifically track these things. And that's what the system you built spit out. And so now you're saying, oh, well, that's not good data. You can't rely upon that. Well, of course you would say that because that's what you built.

Yeah. Have you, you know, obviously you're out there fighting for, you know, the not to release people based on misdemeanors or declassification of felonies or whatever. Have you done any research on like political prosecutions from people on the other side? So say that you're in a far left situation.

city, like say Austin, right? I don't know for sure the Austin, Texas has a liberal prosecutor. I would assume they probably do. They do. Very liberal. Yeah. So, but what if, like, what if, say, for example, you have two different scenarios in Austin, Texas, and you have one guy that did something, but he maybe did something in a

I don't know, say a rally or a protest that was a pro Trump protest and he got arrested and yet he was charged. He went through the whole system. He got jailed all because the prosecutor said, well, you know what? He's on the wrong side of the political party. Um,

Have you done any research into political prosecutions and how that really is affected? I mean, obviously, Texas is not necessarily a state where you have as many liberals or, I guess, far left prosecutors, even though I think it is becoming more of that because of Joe Rogan. Yeah, everybody's moving to Texas now because of him. There's a lot of people moving to Texas out of California. They're either moving from California to Texas, Tennessee, Florida. Usually those are three big states. But is there...

How do you how do you protect people on the other side that, you know, instead of them being lean on prosecution? So they're not really prosecuting people. How do you protect the people on the other side of the political fence where they are politically prosecuting people for? You know, I think that it's very difficult and there's a good example of this. And I don't I mean, it's it's kind of dated, but, you know, there was a prosecutor.

Probably a speaker of the United States House from Texas. And so he pushed some changes in Texas through on, oh, probably some how districts were drawn. And it was intended to increase the Texas delegation to be Republican. At the time, there was a Democrat prosecutor in Texas.

Travis County. And so they had a public integrity unit that's been taken apart now. And it filed charges against him and found him guilty.

convicted him and it was intended to run him off and it was successful. And the problem is years later, his conviction was thrown out. And so that's, I mean, that's what I see is what's going on with Trump is all of those convictions, they don't care about them now. All they cared about was to try to defeat him from being president of the United States on a second term.

That was what they were doing, and that was the sole purpose of them, to try to keep him from winning another election. I would even argue that Biden's whole strategy for his reelection bid was to have Trump convicted, have all the Republicans run away from him, and then the public wouldn't care whether he was mentally fit to run for a second term because there would be no alternative. And I think that strategy blew up in his face.

Yeah, I agree with that. And do you think although Trump is in office, do you think he's really in control still? I mean, you think about we've talked about the deep state a lot. Right. So we know that Biden was in office. He obviously wasn't running the White House. I don't even think anybody in the White House was running the White House. I think it was operatives somewhere in the mix, maybe intelligence agencies, intelligence.

whatever. We don't know for sure. And even with- Well, I think a lot of the groups, they outsource policies. Like to Soros' groups, I think he was running criminal justice policy and probably immigration policy. And so he was telling them what to do, I mean, or his groups. I mean, I really do believe that. Well, okay. Well, with that being said, though, what do you think the purpose of that is? Like, what is the overall goal of these open society foundations? What do you think it is? I mean, besides just

I just don't believe it's for social justice reform. I really don't believe they actually give a damn about the people supposedly that they're there to protect. I think there's a bigger agenda. I mean, have you thought about what that agenda may be?

Well, but, you know, there's so many different theories on that. You know, one of the theories is that, you know, Soros makes his money from chaos. So the more chaos there is, the more opportunity he has to make money. I mean, he made billions of dollars betting against the pound against the Bank of England.

I mean, and the chaos that he created for the country as a whole was very large. He didn't care. So, I mean, there's one theory that says that he's trying to create chaos so that he can have more opportunities to make money. I don't know whether that's true or not. You know, a lot of people just think they're true believers, right?

I kind of agree with you. I don't think they care about these people because right now they've been these policies have been proven not to work so strongly that if they really cared about these people, they would be wanting to do something else. But I mean, there was a you know, one of these Bannon Institute for Justice is one of their supportive groups.

And so, you know, they came out yesterday with something saying that Trump and his order for the National Guard, this hasn't been done since 1965. I mean, it's a go-to group by The New York Times to make it sound like it.

It's a legitimate group, and it's really one of these front groups that do pseudosciences. I mean, I wrote an article in October of last year saying, "Here's all the reasons why you should not believe the FBI statistics." And there was a bunch of reasons. And all of these groups, including the Banning Group, were writing articles, releasing studies saying crime is not increasing, and you don't have to believe us. Look at the FBI statistics.

And then 10 days later, after my article was published, suddenly the FBI statistics had been updated and they showed crime had increased. Well, right on time, a week later, the Bannon Institute issued a new study saying, well, at the very least, crime is not increasing as the result of criminal justice reform or bail reform. Hogwash.

Hogwash, hogwash, hogwash. These are pseudoscience. They're cooking the books just to make it appear like to support what their other groups are advocating for. And so whenever you see justice in their name and they're advocating for bail reform, it's just one of these front groups for them. And they're so well organized. But when you say, what's their motive? I don't know, because...

They should have already acknowledged it's not working and moved to something else. Yeah, I was literally talking about that today. I remember a couple of years ago, there was people, there was this group that started posting videos.

So I guess you know how you can go to certain like say you go to Los Angeles County Sheriff's or inmate search and you can look up inmate search. You can look up their bookings. You can do that in Los Angeles. You can do it in San Francisco, Chicago, New York, whatever. Well, if you went to these sites during the Biden Harris administration and you would see say you saw a two page list of all black offenders. Let's just give an example here.

But yet, if you go look at what their actual designation is, it says white male on every single one of them. Now, the interesting thing about that was I saw this on X. This was a couple of years ago. And I was like, there's no way that shit is really happening. I started going to these places and I was looking up, you know, what the booking was. And it would say what they were charged with, white male, I think heights, some of this other stuff. And yeah.

Damn if it wasn't white males on all of these people throughout various places, whether it was Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, whatever.

But that was one thing. But then also during the Biden-Harris administration, they stopped making the FBI report crime statistics in all these major cities, just like you're saying. So in, you know, these groups that are also funded and also I believe, you know, for example, Alex Soros that was meeting with the Biden-Harris administration. I think they said he met with them like 26 times in the White House. That's George Soros' son. He's likely going to be the one that takes over.

There was a post I saw yesterday that showed Alex Soros hanging out with Gavin Newsom like three weeks ago, a month ago, whatever it was. And it's like, I wonder why what's happening in Los Angeles is happening. And then, you know, these people are also the same people that are telling you that, you know, we're the hottest we've ever been on a planet. I'm not going to get into the climate change thing, but we've done a whole episode on that where if you look back in the 1930s and 1920s, it was actually hotter in the 1930s than it is today. People...

They they definitely manipulate data and they use it for their advantage. And guess who manipulates the data? It's the people that are over all of these conglomerates. So, you know, just like Fauci used to say, I am the science. Well, he kind of is, because whatever Fauci and the conglomerate says, that is what they say. That is what goes. And that's what the people believe. Not all people. That's what my mom believes. That's what probably.

a lot of our moms believe is because they watch mainstream media. And Elon Musk just said something yesterday. He said, you know, imagine the people that only get their news from mainstream media and imagine what their mind still thinks today versus people that actually have access to other information.

It's a scary time we live in, Ken. And I guess the question is, do you see this getting better or worse? Because we have Trump in office now. And I've told people when Trump came in, I said, look, just because Trump is in office does not necessarily mean everything's going to get better. I knew that they were going to come out of the woodwork during Trump's administration. I knew that for four years when we had wide open borders where there were Chinese nationalists, there were people from the Middle East, there were

terrorist cells, you name it, the cartel, everybody coming in. I said, they're not bringing these people in for no reason. They're going to activate these people at some point in time. And guess what? I think they're doing it now. And I think this is just the tip of the iceberg. And how is the justice system going to respond to this, Ken? Well, you know, I heard the best explanation I heard about these open borders. And it just was real simple, but it made so much sense.

And they were arguing that when we do a census, we count people, we don't count citizens. And so when California has so many more illegal aliens than anyone else, they end up with more representatives for the House of Representatives than they should. And I think the person making this argument said that

On a whole, from the last census, the Democrats have 10 more seats in the House than they would have had, but for open borders and bringing in illegal aliens. So that's a pretty simple argument, but it makes a lot of sense because suddenly their vote is much more powerful and has so much more weight.

Yeah.

I agree. And, you know, on this show, we talk so much about like conspiracy and a lot of the corruption. By the way, I think conspiracy theorists are like five thousand to one right now or whatever, whatever that record is that everybody. How many conspiracies during COVID turned out to be true? I mean, that's the biggest test right there. Exactly. I mean, it's it's just ridiculous. And then what's going on in California right now? I mean, it's just it just seems like in the mainstream media, it's I mean, when Trump got elected.

I mean, when he first got elected, you know, the theories were, well, they don't like him. But by the end of his first year, they'll acknowledge and they'll be OK. That never happened. And I don't think it'll happen this time either. I mean, I think it's Trump derangement syndrome like we've never seen. But the problem is, in my lifetime, whenever they treat a Republican and they treat him really, really bad.

That's the new default. So, I mean, when people say, oh, it's just Trump. No, it's going to be every Republican from now on will be treated this way. And suddenly, you know, we have the Democrats throw a big fit if they don't win. And then they do all this extracurricular stuff.

when the Republicans try to lead. And we've had former examples, you know, George Bush II, where he left under such a cloud because he wouldn't stand up for people. He wouldn't fight back. And he just finally said, I'll let history determine what kind of a president I was. And

I really think it's those kind of actions that people just said, I'm voting for Trump. He'll fight back. And honestly, when I voted for Trump the first time, I did it reluctantly because, you know, he wasn't a politician. I mean, my favorite meme of him says in Trump's first election.

presidency, he was doing something he wasn't comfortable with. He was pretending to be a politician. In his second presidency, he's doing exactly what he does, and that is he's taking over a bankrupt company. So the second time I voted for Trump, I was a little bit more stronger because I thought what they were doing to him was bad, and it was just all politics. Third time, I would have crawled over broken glass to vote for Trump because I thought that...

if we didn't stand up

and fight and say what they did was wrong, then we were going to lose our country because then it worked. Yeah. I do fear what would have happened had, you know, the opposite happened, right? Had we had Kamala Harris in office right now or someone else. Change two things. The Supreme Court, imagine what would have happened if they would have got Gorsuch on the Supreme Court even. I mean, and then Biden getting elected. I mean, what?

Or really Hillary getting elected. I mean, those were pawns for whoever's really making the decisions to whoever they outsource their policy to. And I think the Soros group is a big one.

The interesting thing for the next election is, you know, the Biden coalition is really no. The Obama coalition is dead. His coalition was Wall Street funded the elections and then they ran on social issues and they, you know, Wall Street didn't care about social issues.

But I don't think that the party today will stand to even have the Wall Street support. They don't have room for them in the party. Obama's former chief of staff, who was the mayor of Illinois, I think, for a while, mayor of Chicago for a while, and I can't remember his name. Yeah.

But he is now working in Wall Street and he's talking about running for president. So it looks like he's trying to recreate that coalition. But I mean, the problem with him is he's so cruel and he comes across as, you know, really, I don't think he really has a good chance of running or winning the primary. And so it's going to be very interesting because I would argue that the last two or three candidates from the Democrat side have been selected by the

by the elites, not by the faithful. And you're going to have such a, a blowback from that this time, they are going to select a far left candidate to, because they're going to say, well, the reason why we've lost is because we haven't been left enough, you know, and I know that that's absolutely not true. That's the reason why the elites have stepped in to keep them from selecting the candidate. But, but,

More power to them. I mean, that's the reason why they've been losing. They haven't been policing their own party and they've got it. And so they need to lose. They need to lose a couple more times before they'll start moderating. Yeah. And I think they create the social issues is the interesting thing. They have to create they have to create the social issues to run on, because otherwise, what are you running on? And so.

That is their thing. We've already done this whole debate about Soros. What's their motivation? Why was the motivation to identify transgender, which is probably less than 1% of the population? Why did they just select that as a hill to die on? Now, I could make a really strong argument that the reason why they did that is because they're picking issues that they're saying these are other people who are getting –

picked on that are getting mistreated. And so minorities remember how you were treated and you should vote to prevent that on them because it happened to you as well. It's identity politics. But I think the identity politics may be dying right now.

Yeah, I agree with that. And I think even with this, you know, Trump ran on, you know, by saying we're going to close the borders and every single person that is coming illegally, we're going to go and find them and we're going to deport them. That's what he said, even though once Trump got in, he kind of backed off of that a little bit to where Tom Homan came out and he was saying, look, we're not going to deport

every single person we're not going to go with neighborhoods and start finding people but we are going to go after the criminals the people that are here that we know for sure are criminals they're cartel members they're whoever we're going to go after these people the people that the ice and border patrol and all those people are going after right now are the people that are violent criminals or violent offenders or people that have criminal records

These are the people they're going after. But this is what the left has to use right now. And they're going to do anything. They're going to use mainstream media. We've watched the difference between Fox News, CNN, MSNBC and CNN, MSNBC and all these other mainstream analysts. They're going to heavily promote and prop up what Trump is doing so wrong by kidnapping these people. That's what they're saying. These agents are coming in and kidnapping people like like like a dictator. The Maryland dad, for example.

Yeah, the Maryland dad. And then, you know. Oh, my gosh. Yeah. Maryland dad. I mean, that blew up in their face. But what they keep forgetting is Trump is, I mean, like a servant on these PR issues, public relations. I mean, you know, it's almost like they stepped into a trap. I mean, I think the beauty of Trump, too, is that he's working so hard. He's playing for four years on what to do and he's going to outwork him.

I mean, they can't keep up with him. Yeah. You know what I fear about Trump, Ken, is and I've said this on the podcast many times. We voted for Trump, obviously. I mean, I don't I don't know. I think a lot of people voted for Trump in this last election. But the one thing I fear, there was a press conference where he brought in Larry Ellison and Palantir guy and some of these guys where they're investing five hundred billion dollars into the United States.

One thing I worry, obviously, from this podcast perspective is Trump obviously sees this as a massive investment. The AI investment with Sam Altman and Larry Ellison, which was the Oracle owner. And a lot of people think Oracle, which is on most software network computer systems in America, you know, a lot of people believe that Oracle was actually created for the CIA to monitor certain computer systems or whatever. But, you know, Trump brings in these people, right?

He's Trump's one of those people just kind of like with the vaccine, you know, you know, Operation Warp Speed. He kind of got behind that. The Democrats, by the way, during the covid thing, when Trump brought out the vaccine, they were like, oh, no, there's no way I would take a vaccine that Trump came out with. And then as soon as Trump left office and Biden and Harris is in, they're like, oh, guys, everybody, we got to take the vaccine now. We got to make sure we're taking our vaccine now.

The thing that worries me is like Trump is, you know, obviously, if you're president, you want to take credit, especially on a 500 billion dollar investment from AI company. But what we do know about these AI companies is that, you know, although we may utilize these AI systems for good, you know,

you know, if we look at China and how advanced their AI is for mass surveillance. Now, we definitely love law and order here, but we don't want a surveillance state. We don't want a state to where AI runs and controls every single thing we do. They know every single action we make on a daily basis. And now with this new plan that Trump's kind of getting behind, it is worrying a lot of people. And I am behind Trump. I just don't want necessarily Trump to be

inundated with people that is going to like give Trump that ego boost to say, hey, Trump, we're investing 500 billion. We need all these facilities and you're going to be the guy to do it. But then and it look, it may not happen for surveillance when Trump is in, but Trump's not going to be in forever. And how are the next presidents? How is the next administrations? Maybe they become far left and they want to surveil all conservatives.

They're going to have that tool then to do so. And that's why a lot of people are talking about the Palantir and the AI technology and the investments that the United States government is making now. I know this is pretty deep, but all I'm saying is there's a lot of worrisome stuff, even with Trump as president. It's just we and I. Yeah, but Trump, Trump is.

transactional president. I think that's the best description I've heard of him. I mean, it's all about the business transaction. So when he has those types of get togethers, he's all about how much money is coming to the United States, how much money is being invested. I agree with you on the future, but I would argue that for the last four years, we've lived in a surveillance state.

I mean, if you think back when Trump ran the first time and he won coming out of that election, the major complaint from the Democrat parties to the mainstream media was you were not hard enough on Trump. You allowed him to come on your show and spout

these lies and you didn't call him on it. Now, in that election, they would come, they would have two guests, one for and one against, and they would introduce them and they'd let them duke it out. But ever since then, now we're in this new period where they bring in MSNBC, CNN, CBS, ABC, they bring in a Republican

I mean, look at the Jack Tapper interview with Trump's daughter-in-law and they let her say her thing and then they just belittle her and call her, you're picking on someone's stutter. How dare you? I mean, he's apologized for it, but he was doing that solely for the purpose of trying to defeat Trump and do what the Democrats told him he failed to do in the election before.

And that's where we are now with politics in that. I mean, how do we go back to from that where you bring in a guest and then you introduce them, let them say their thing, and then you just call them a fool? Yeah, absolutely. And Ken, I do want to say this because, I mean, we've had you on the show a couple of times. And for people that are listening, it's people like you that we have to have in society and in the world today. Attorneys that are out there fighting at the legislator level and trying to get things done. Do you ever feel like that?

You're fighting an uphill battle with a lot of this stuff? You know...

No, I don't. Because I feel like Trump a lot of times, I feel like Trump is one of those really unique people. He's got enough money where all he cares about is what is best for the country. We can argue whether you agree with what he thinks is best for the country or you can disagree with him. But I think by the time he leaves office, we'll all agree he tried to do what he thought was best for the country. And I

I feel like that's all I'm doing. I'm telling you, here's my analysis of the policies. Here's my analysis of what's been tried. Here's what has worked. Here's what has not worked. Here's why it has not worked. And these people that push those policies will not admit they have not worked and they still push them to this day. Why would you go through what this other jurisdiction went through? Cause you're going to get the same result, but they're still telling you that's the gold standard that you should be doing. Um,

I don't feel like that's hard. I don't feel like I mean, and I feel like the data is there's a growing set of data to support that, which is making it easier. Yeah. And I do have another question. Do you what what do you are you in trial? Like, do you do trials and stuff or what exactly do you kind of fight now? Do you represent people or?

So I represent bail bondsmen across the state of Texas, but I also represent agents when they're getting licensed. So I travel the state.

on licensing issues. So I go to administrative boards a lot. I'm an old appellate attorney. That's why I like to argue legal issues. So I've argued cases before the Supreme Court of Texas, the Court of Criminal Appeals in Texas, the Fifth Circuit, pretty much all the Court of Appeals. So in the bail area, there's two cases that were argued before the Court of Criminal Appeals, which is our highest court for criminal cases. And I won both of those.

So, you know, I have an active practice, but it's mostly bail related now. I used to just do 50 percent bail and then 50 percent. I would always have a civil practice. I always had one large case going at a given time. But it seems like as I become more specialized, I have less and less time. Now, I get it. Well, listen, I do have a proposal for you. We're going to we have some trials coming up now. So we cover trials regularly.

We actually covered the Idaho four murders, not the trial. Obviously, it's not come out yet, but we covered that. We've covered a little bit of Karen Reid trial as well. This Karen Reid trial. But the the Idaho four murder trial with Brian Koberger is coming up maybe in August. But it would be actually really cool to bring you on some of those shows to give analysis of.

Uh, even if we kind of give you a breakdown of kind of what's happened over the past few days, I know you probably don't have time to watch the cases. Um, Sherry does all that. I don't have time for that either, but if we had kind of a breakdown of stuff, would you be interested on coming on some shows to kind of break down just some of the things, if we play you some clips and give your thoughts on how the attorneys are presenting things or not presenting things? Sure. I'd be happy to, uh, you know,

I would be happy to do that on a trial basis to see how it goes. Actually, that's right up my forte. I mean, I've always been an appellate attorney, which is, you know, that's the fix-it guy for the trial court. And so I've always been grading attorneys' papers on what they were doing at trial and mostly about, okay, we didn't do this. I mean, I had one case where –

My trial attorney came to me and said, well, the judge, I convinced him to change his mind and to let this in. I'm like, well, he just committed a reversible error. And I said, let me tell you what's going to happen. You're going to win.

They're going to appeal. And two years from now, the court of appeals is going to reverse and render in their favor. So what are you going to do in the next two years? So when they do that, you still win your case. Yeah. And so we set up an alternative thing that we did so that even if they did that, he would still win. And what do you know? Two years later, they reversed and rendered the case because he had talked the court into doing something he shouldn't have.

Yeah, that reminds me of today's Karen Reid trial, man. This judge in the Karen Reid trial pisses me off. And the funny thing about this trial is that Karen Reid, it was a mistrial the first time. She's now on trial again a year later. And they still, it's like the prosecutor is kind of an asshole. And I think the jury kind of sees, I mean, wouldn't you agree with me? A jury sees when a prosecutor presents himself as an asshole, especially. And then you've got a defense team that they're very well-liked.

Alan Jackson and that defense team are very well liked. The jury seems to kind of get on board with them more than the prosecutor. And it seems like every ruling that the judge does in this case is for the prosecution against the defense. Wow. Do you not kind of see that like today, for example? I know we're getting a little bit off topic, but today. No, but, you know, that's, you know, that's the opposite of what usually happens, because usually the court rules differently.

defensively will rule in favor of the defense so they won't have that argument on appeal, especially in criminal cases. So to be arguing or ruling almost exclusively in the prosecution side, that tells you that the judge is, well, that tells you one of the things that you could conclude from that is the judge thinks they may have a problem with their case and so he's trying to help them.

Yeah, exactly. And today there was a medical examiner. She's also taught at Brown Medical School. She's done all of this stuff. And one of the parts of this case was is that he has these supposedly he was hit by a car by his girlfriend. And one of the injuries on his arm looks to be dog bites from the house that he was at.

And so this medical examiner, she's been she said she's like, I've seen and examined probably 70 plus deaths from dog bites. And so I am an expert. A federal court ruled in one particular case that she was on about a dog bite, that she was an expert. And yet this judge ruled that she could not testify on the dog bite and the pictures based on she didn't believe that she was an expert.

And so it was just it was asinine. But yet then they allow the prosecution to to bring in, quote unquote, experts that are not experts in their field. And so it's pretty obvious there is a bias in that case. But that's stuff that I would like for you to maybe come on the show and talk about. And can I think you'd be good to have your own show doing trial breakdowns? Yeah, well, I appreciate you. It's a nice compliment. But, you know, I'm

Shock, shock. I'm swamped as I am. I decided I was going to work last night. And so I drank some coffee and then I decided not to work. And so I couldn't go to sleep. But I was up early this morning driving to Fort Worth because I needed a judge to sign 15 orders for me. And then I had to be back for this. And then tomorrow I'm going to be speaking at a conference of district and county clerks in Fort Worth.

Sugar Land, which is just south of Houston. And then the next day I'm going to be in Houston at a Bellwine board meeting to answer some questions on a relicensing. So that's my normal week. So I just don't know when you have time. I mean, and I already do a podcast on criminal justice issues, but I agree. I think that would be fun, but I feel like I'm caught in the mafia right now. I do all this work and I'm 64 years old and I was like, I

I can't get out of it. I can't retire. I just keep getting pulled back in. And I love it. I don't have any plans to retire as long as I'm healthy. Well, once you retire, man, that's when it all goes downhill. Don't do it. Don't do it. Well, that's right. But I'm kind of hyper. But my wife's 10 years younger than me, and she's planning on retiring in three years. So I'm planning on retiring soon.

when I either have really bad health issues or I die. And so I just, I'm just too hyper. I would drop, my wife would kill me. Uh,

And she's also an attorney and she says she's smart enough that she thinks she could get away with it. And my fear is that I think she's smart enough as well to get away with it. I think Sherry is, too, because she watches all these damn shows. And I'm like, I don't know, man, I think she might be able to. Ken, can you tell everybody where they can go to support you, follow you, whatever you got? Just tell everybody on the show now.

Sure. If you want more information about our group or our issues, you can go to PBTX.com, which is the Professional Abondsman of Texas. We have a blog where we highlight important criminal justice issues, and we also have our own podcast. There's a link to it on our menu, but you can also go directly to it at TheBellPost.com. All we do is talk about criminal justice, bail reform issues. I mean, we're fixing to do a series of episodes on just what passed at the Texas legislature.

Awesome. And guys, we'll put those in the description as well. And we'll put our merchandise link with our new Mostly Peaceful Protest shirt, which we're going to have hopefully soon. That'll be good. And hopefully Ken is going to come back on some trial episodes. Yes, that would be amazing. That way you don't have to devote like a lot of time. We'll just send you a couple of clips and then you can kind of break down what you think about them.

Yeah. And then I can do my little research and tell you, maybe surprise you with some stuff. Absolutely. Well, Ken, good. Thank you so very much for coming on, man. It's been a pleasure as always. And we can't wait to talk to you again.

Thank you very much. Y'all have a good day. Hey, you too. You too. Thanks, Ken. All right, guys, that was Ken Good. Great friend of the podcast. We've had him on a couple of times. Love talking to him every time we do. He's just very knowledgeable. And as I said, man, I wish he had a freaking YouTube channel. There's a lot of people that have YouTube channels. We need to just clone him is what we should do. I know, right? Clone him. And AI? Yeah. Download his information and we can just have Ken Good on without Ken Good having to do anything. Yeah.

That'll be great. No, Ken's a great guy. And he is he's working his ass off for the state of Texas, but not just the state of Texas. I mean, the bail reform stuff, all the stuff that he's prosecutor that he's testifying in front of legislators. This these are the people and the attorneys we need to fight back against the Soros and the Open Society Foundations and everything that the far left is doing to try to destroy America from within. And if you don't think that stuff like this is important.

I have something else for you, because as we talk more about the NGOs, the nongovernment organizations and the people that are in charge of these that are trying to take down America for the globalist movement, we talk about these all the time.

And so if you want to know the other people fighting on the other side of this, that is King good. And so we appreciate people like King good, um, immensely. And we hope that there are more people like him out there, but guys, um, make sure you go follow him, go show him support, send him a message, do whatever you got to do. Um, but we're going to end that here. Um, we get a lot of stuff to talk about this week. Uh,

We've got so much to talk about. I'm sure the L.A. thing is not done. We got the UFO bombshell article that came out to talk about. We have still we got to break down the Trump Elon thing because there's something weird with that. There's there's conspiracy around that. Now they've deleted all their tweets about each other.

Elon has kind of posted some things that are kind of like for the betterment. Maybe it's because he's losing his ass on money. We don't know. Well, Trump's not coming to the bargaining table with him. I'm going to tell you that he is done with Elon. I probably agree with that. But guys, until next time, we love each and every one of you very, very much. Go make sure you check out our store, investigate earth store dot com and make sure you go follow us on all of our social medias, X, Facebook, Instagram, all of those.

Till next time. We love you. Peace out. Peace out, guys.

We promised that nothing would break us, that we'd always find a way. All was set and dust had settled, something didn't feel the same. We both know that this ship's going down. Let's get off and leave before we drown.
