Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time time, time, time.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Luck and load.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
So Michael Verie Show is on the air. Favorite shoot
(00:36):
to make a fist of your hand, right hand. I
want you to.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Crook your arm like this so that your elbow is
out like you're elbowing somebody with your elbow, so that
it turns your fist back so that it's facing.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Your wind.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
And if you sent me an email that said boot Barn,
I want you to punch yourself in the throat.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
You didn't do that.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Why are you punching yourself? You just wanted to punch yourself.
Huh is the heart You could punch yourself if you
sent me a response that said boot Barn, punch yourself
at least one time, and that's from me. I was
(01:30):
very clear, very clear that it was a family's last name.
See this is Chris Spears Belis Has And I said,
dear God, no, why are you always wrong? It was
at Lucas and I tend by that sporting good store.
(01:51):
I think it was called Goodmann's or something. He's from Beaumont.
Do you realize that us people from Golden Triangle. It's
like when it's like when your wife goes into the
Vietnamese nail salon, and they all sit there and they
have the conversation, and they have the conversation about your
(02:12):
wife in front of them. They have their own language.
It would be so fun to learn Vietnamese. Not easy,
but be fun. You going there and in the middle
you could go, yeah, you know what, you're right, Yeah
it's true. Yeah that one toe is crooked. You're right,
you bitch. That'd be fun with't it. But anyway, we
(02:32):
Golden Triangle people, we will associate in Houston. We'll pretend
like we'll live here, but.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Deep down we have our own little codes and things. Anyway,
Chris Beer says, did our power just go off? Our
generator just kicked on? You're kidding?
Speaker 3 (02:53):
He said bells, but he misspelled bells, which makes me
wonder about him if he and grew up in Beaumont.
After all, it was Baskins. Baskins was the name of
the store, and mister Baskin, I don't know how.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Old he was, probably forty five or so. See if
I can go back and find that picture.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
I mentioned that I needed to get Crockett all dued
it up for the for the rodeo, and he sent
me a message and said, why don't you come out here?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
It would be an honor for me to do it.
And he I mean, he did it up right.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
I can't remember if it was Crocket or Michael. It
might have been Michael, but anyway, Baskins was the place.
I don't know if Baskins had a Houston location. They
were more their model was kind of a little more rural,
kind of going up sixty two or eighty seven, kind
(03:56):
of going up that East Texas corridor.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
And I'm trying to remember where they were based.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Maybe Lufkin or might have been Nacadochi's I don't remember,
but nice family and it was one of those.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
The heck oh you were cleaning and it went on.
We had a place called that made me left.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
We had a place called the Horseman Store in Orange
and it was the only place that you could buy
boots and western wear. And we didn't mind because you
loved it. In fact, for those of you who drive
back and forth to Louisiana, when you when you go
through Beaumont, you'll remember this. For those of you who
(04:53):
do it often, when you go through Beaumont, it kind
of curves and you'll go over the bridge over to
the right, you'll see the old steel yards Bethlehem Steele
was a big one over there. That's where my grandfather
worked for some time. My uncle, my uncle Billy worked there.
My uncle Buster worked there.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
For a little while.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
But anyway, we mean, what kind of name is Buster?
Buster Keaton. I mean Buster is a great name. Buster Douglas, Well,
I don't think they were named for the same people.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
But yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
So then you go over the bridge.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
When you come down the bridge, that little speed trap
right there, that's Rose City for about a minute. Go
a little further and you start seeing businesses now and
you'll see some fast food restaurants. You'll see Main Street
crossing right there that is Vider and then you'll see
to the left you'll see the cutoff to go to Deuiyville,
(05:49):
which is where I was, just where my mother lived
when I was actually born. Then you stay on ten,
you go a little further and now you'll start seeing
some fms and then you will go before you get
to Orange about fifteen minutes. I lived on the right
(06:09):
right there, and there's a church right there called Old
First Orange Baptist Church. I rode my bike to that
church and you go a little further, and then there
is something that causes me a lot, a lot of
internal strife, and that is the Highway sixty two intersection.
And you will see they got a water burger, they
(06:31):
got a waffle house.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Oh my goodness, Heaven, just heaven.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
It was.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
None of that was there. None of that was there.
There was my little elementary school to the left, mich
Lewis Elementary.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
None of that was there. There was a Love's truck stop.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
I will admit my my mom and my brother Chris,
My and I. Our tradition was we watched Lamar basketball
games Tommy Sewell and BB Davis and that those Pat
Foster was the coach back then, and anyway, we would
we would watch the games and we would drive up
(07:23):
there and buy beloney. We'd get fresh life slice blooney
and a loaf of bread and potato chips, and we
would come back and watch the game with our fresh
baloney sandwich.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
It was a big, big.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Time, big time anyway. So when you go a little further,
you will see MLK, which is the only MLK I
know where you won't get shot. You keep going and
you'll see on the right, you'll see sixteenth Street. And
the way you'll know that is sixteenth Street is just
to the right. At the intersection there it'll say Monica
(07:57):
Brothers Tires. Been there since I was born. Thing been
there forever. And on the left you'll see Northgate Mall.
So that street right there is a street that was
that was when when Orange was segregated. Blacks were on
the east side and whites were on the west side.
And with desegregation, no white people went onto the east side,
(08:20):
but black people came onto the west side. And so
you go and the next turn off to the right
is Simmons Drive. There's no reason you'd ever go there.
I was born, I was raised from time I was
about three. Down there, there was an old navy base
called Riverside. Everybody in Orange lived in Riverside. But right
there on the right, it's still there. It says the
(08:41):
Horseman Store. And that was the place where you went
to get your belt and you got your name stamped
on the back of it, and you were happy to
have it, and you walked in there, and that was
for workwear and Western rere and that smell, that smell
of that love.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Republic Boot Company still has that smell of the side.
I love it.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
But Michael Berry show.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
These ladies they're so nice, you know, they make you
feel like it's all about you and customer service.

Speaker 2 (12:04):

I'm more to my mom My my mom, so now
tell her my mother to my nama, come down and
I'm come there. I talk to my mom someday I'm
coming here.
Speaker 6 (12:16):
Oh, she said, you look so pretty.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Alright, alright, let me tell you something.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
I turned seventeen in nineteen eighty seven. It's raining. You
didn't tell me it was gonna rain. I just looked
out and it's raining. I love the rain. Love it,
love it, love it. Do not care for sunshine.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
I know I'm weird. You don't have to tell me.
I didn't choose it. It's just the way it is.
My favorite thing is to sit out on the back porch.
It's got a little covering and let the rain hit
about three feet from me, just far enough that it
doesn't splash on me. I absolutely, it's coming down. Yes man, Wow,
(13:27):
okay we needed it?
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Ooh man?
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Did we needed?
Speaker 4 (13:31):
All this?
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Just vile. It's so depressing.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
All the rubbish, all the trash from the trees being trimmed,
and it's not being picked up anywhere. I mean, yeah,
there are some places it's being picked up. My buddy,
Jimmy Pappas is the mayor of Hunter's Creek, and he
sent out an email and said, hey, we got the
(13:56):
people that used to own whoever owns the land for
Los Alamatus. On I ten, they're at Old Hillcroft on
that corner. Whoever that is agreed to let them put
their trash there because you don't want to have you
know what we have out here, which is trash out
on the road that's been there forever. And the worst
part is it's that nasty brown because it's dead. And
(14:21):
when it started it was piled up nice, and now
with the wind blowing and everything else, now it's just
kind of strewn around, and it's it's terrible. It's the
death I never forget. I was driving down Sam Philippi
eastbound and as you come through river Oaks, a friend
(14:42):
of mine, Jonathan Fairbanks, has this beautiful English manor home
there on the left, and it always had this glory
just as you're coming up to river Oaks Boulevard and
those houses have the old ivy, have the old brick,
the old brick walls, and they have ivy on them
(15:02):
that's probably been there heck, I don't know seventy eighty years.
And then with I guess it was Harvey and the
water rose there, that ivy turned brown and died. And
then the ivy falls off and you get kind of
the discoloration where that ivy had been.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Well, that's what this looks like.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Who bears the burden of the corporate income tax? Dan Eigen,
one of my favorite listeners, started a charity called We.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Will Not Be Silenced.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
And the idea was due to the corporal due to
the cancel culture, that people who spoke out against COVID
against January sixth, against dudes pulling their wianers out in
the girls locker room, that they would that there would
(16:02):
be this behive of media and in the state who
would attack them. And an individual is not in a
position to defend themselves if if they're not well healed,
So most people would just you know, duck take the
incoming and hope it stopped. And so Dan, who is
(16:23):
not wealthy, but he's done very well. He's been successful.
He's made good decisions.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
He invested in timber up like north of Crockett maybe
it's Anderson, and he works at it. I mean he
works selling his his timber. Anyway, he started this organization
that will fund people who fight back who are attacked,
(16:51):
and it's called We Will Not Be Silence Anyway.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
So after years and years, I think he used.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
To be.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
At BMC if I remember correctly. Anyway, he said, who
bears a burden of the corporate income tax? Stockholders, workers, investors, everyone,
all of the above end up with less money. So
(17:20):
everyone they pay, babysitters, contractors, stores, lawnmowers, they lose out
as well. If you think that government taking money from
rich people is going to help you, boy, you're you
got another thing.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
The Michael Barry Show. That's a song.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
We don't normally play depeche Mode because I have a
kill switch, And while Ramon would love to, the kill
switch can only be activated once per day, so if
he were to play a depeche Mode song that would
he would be done for the day, So he knows better.
But in honor of Russell Russell Ibarra, whose birthday we
(18:02):
celebrated last night, we do that we make a sacrifice.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
So let's think it's about just kind of sprinkling now, Okay,
all right.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
So very happy birthday to our friend and show sponsor
and mentor and a guy who has done a lot
for our show and for Camp Hope and for the
thousands of people who worked under him. You know, every
(18:36):
business is an opportunity to reshape the country.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Surprises me. How often I.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Walk a business with a business owner and they don't
know the names of any of the employees.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
I find that very odd.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Like a restaurant. Somebody has one restaurant you're walking through
and they don't bother to know the people names. That
is a man, that's a That's a real red flag
to me. Muhammad Ali said, I can tell a lot
about you by the way you treat the waiter because
(19:14):
the circumstances could be changed and I could be that
old black guy bringing you your food and watching how
you react. He wouldn't have been what he wouldn't have
been old bringing food?
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Are you really making Parkinson's jokes on the program at
ten thirty seven today?
Speaker 4 (19:35):
That was you, not me?
Speaker 3 (19:38):
My goodness, I got a I got an email from
m AD this morning and I didn't know what a
D was, but apparently it was dyslexic Mothers of America
(20:00):
arrest in a serial burglary ring targeted at least seventy
six businesses over the last seven months. No surprise always happens,
thank you, Rodney. One of the men arrested was free
on bond for burglary. Another man was arrested, granted bond
(20:21):
of eighty thousand, which means he gets his buddies to
bring eight thousand dollars and he gets out. Kho U
reports they targeted mom and pop businesses and some of
these businesses lost so much money they had to close down.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
They came through the back.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
Voo Trong says, the life of a business owner isn't
always easy.
Speaker 6 (20:44):
We just worked through all the kinks, bad times, good times,
deal with it.
Speaker 5 (20:49):
And in April, his bar, the Phoenix on West Timert
faced hard times. Broke through doors, broke through another door,
broke through a third door. In surveillance video he shared
with Khou eleven news, after breaking in, you can see
two thieves head straight for the office and get to work,
cut through this safe, stole out of cash and now.
Court records obtained by kho U eleven tell the story
(21:11):
of a sprawling, months long investigation by Houston police that
uncovered an organized burglary ring targeting bars, restaurants, and small
businesses across the area. The Harris County DA's office telling
Khou eleven exclusively that the four suspects, Torrian Potts, Riccaro Middleton,
Augustine EURISTI and Ronnie O'Bryant Junior stole just over three
(21:35):
hundred thousand dollars in cash in a crime spree that
began in October of last year and ended in April.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
So scary, I guess is there so many?
Speaker 5 (21:43):
Mark Clayton's business squabble was targeted a few months before Trong.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Got us some slack, Yeah, just like just like, yeah,
working hard, trying to provide five families and our staff,
and yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Just would be nice to be left alone.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
I'm just happy to have caught now.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
We're also told tonight that law enforcement in other areas
maybe investigating cases that could be tied to this crew.
But it wasn't just money that they stole. Investigators say
that they also caused more than one hundred thousand dollars
in damages, including one case in which they actually drove
a vehicle into a business, sparking of fire.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
I wish someone had been inside and shot and killed them.
I wished every single burglar who is committing a burglary
could be shot and killed on the spot for all
to see and left there for all to see.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
But they're not, are they see.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
ABC thirteen here in Houston ran a story. Texas strict
abortion laws may be fueling tragic trend. Six babies abandoned
in Harris County since June. So if women can't just
butcher their baby on any street corner and the taxpayers
(23:18):
pay for it. If they can't, they're just gonna have
a baby and throw them in the dumpster or throw
them anywhere else, and it's your fault.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
This is what we get. Abortion.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Is what You're gonna get a steady dose of abortion
between now and November. Because democrats rely on unmarried women.
And what is the appeal to unmarried women? Watch very
closely and you'll understand this is it. Why are women unmarried?
It's not widowed women they're going after. It is young
(23:57):
to middle aged unmarried women. Why are they unmarried? Because
they're lesbian? Lesbians are far more conservative than straight women.
Don't argue with me on this.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
They are. When I had a real.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Estate company, we had a lesbian couple who took us in.
Were they hot, No, they were not hot, but they
were wonderful. One of them was rather prominent in town
as a business owner and just thought I was the best,
(24:41):
and we would at every time I closed a deal,
I would bring my clients or the other side, depending
on the commercial or residential deal, to her restaurant, and
we would have the most amazing She had a charing
red clot but anyway, because of her friendship, we had
a lot lesbian.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
That's only a small part of the unmarried women. I
want to come back to that.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
But they are naturally conservative. That's why Democrats have to
convince them.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
You know, the Republicans.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
Hating this guy, Michael Barry. Every adult fits into one
or the other category. There are four boxes, married men,
unmarried men, married women, unmarried women. Interestingly, the data shows
(25:40):
married men vote majority Republican. Unmarried men vote majority Republican,
although not to the same extent, but majority married women
majority Republican. Unmarried women sixty eight percent vote Democrat. Only
(26:07):
thirty one percent vote Republican. And interestingly, I suspect that
thirty one percent that's voting Republican.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
That's older widowed women. Unmarried women.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Are living on a plantation of the Democrat parties making
and everything they push is tested to win them over everything.
This is why you would think that abortion is the
(26:47):
most important thing in America today. I've traveled the world
I've never ever heard talk of abortion, but it is here.
It is, boy, it's we got to have it. These
seventy six businesses that were targeted by these these thugs.
(27:09):
You ever been the victim of a crime like this,
a burglary, It's devastating. I've known people that won't drive
a vehicle that's been stolen. They'll dump it for a
loss to keep from if you feel so violated. It
takes something away from you. But we don't talk about that.
(27:33):
We don't elect a president on the basis of whether
or not we're going to spend money. And you may say, well,
it's not a federal issue.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Damn sure is.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Block grants from the federal government to states and even cities, universities.
You wouldn't believe how much it adds up to be
it's a major source of funding. If the block grants
aren't for fighting crime, the block grants are figuring out
(28:06):
the different ways you can take a boy's testicles off
as early as possible, because that's what these crazy, whacked
out women and they're purse carrying men want. It is
sick and perverse and it should be called as much.
Now what they'll do is they'll say you're an awful
(28:29):
person because someone shouldn't have to feel bad about who
they are. I agree with that, I do. If someone
comes to that conclusion on their own, they're a small
(28:49):
percentage of people suffering gender dysphoria, A very small percentage. See,
we didn't all of a sudden have everybody needing a cigarette.
It became a social trend, and people are drawn to
(29:11):
that everybody else is doing it. There's pressure at home,
there's pressure at the school, there's pressure from other kids
at school. I never had anybody tell me their kid
was transitioning. I've probably had it five times in the
last five months.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
I know people personally very.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Well who've had who've transitioned, And guess what, just like
most everything else, I believe in life, if they choose
to do that as an adult, that's what it means
to be an adult.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
I'm a libertarian when it comes to that.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
If they choose with their own body, not a baby
inside them, but with their own body to use a drug,
to drink beer, to smoke pot, to cut off their willie,
that's their business as an adult. If you're old enough
(30:18):
to go fight our wars, then you're old enough to
decide if you can smoke a cigarette and drink a beer.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
And transition.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
But why is it so important that they transition these kids.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
As early as possible.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
Well, the child wants it, first of all, it's not true. Secondly,
if the child thinks they want it, there's an almost
one hundred percent chance that the parent has led them
to that decision.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
What are the incentives, rewards, encouragement.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
For that kind of behavior? Do you know how you
know this? The number of families that have multiple children transitioning.
It was a study done. It's probably been two years ago. Now,
something like sixty eight percent of the mothers are diagnosed
(31:19):
with mental health problems. It's okay to call somebody crazy
when they are. Lena Hidalgo is bat blank crazy.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
She is. You can see it, I can see it.
We all know it. You can say I mean, you
can do whatever you want. It's fine. Doesn't make it
any less true. She's nuts And if you had to
work around her.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
I know staffers at work at the county, Oh my god,
is she a mess?
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Is she a mess?
Speaker 5 (31:54):
Or what?
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Absolute nut job?
Speaker 3 (32:00):
Not a person who should be in a position where
discernment is key. But if Kamala Harris can be president
and she's already vice president, and she will be president.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Before November fifth. Why because it'll give her a huge boost.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
She'll again they don't want she's getting a boost now
because she's the candidate.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
She's a cultural phenomenon. She's a joyful warrior. So we'll
do the boost.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
She'll smile, they'll take pictures, she won't answer questions, she
won't have to say anything.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
The media will do all the work for her.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
And as that's starting to fade, then we'll do the
next round where she's the president, but so late in
the day she can't screw it up, and they'll have
a couple of official ceremonies. There'll be an immaculation. It's
going to happen. Prepare yourself, don't sit in a corner
and go fetal position.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Gird your luins. This is going to be a battle, folks.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Some of you are going, Michael, I think what the
Democrats are doing is they're gonna let her lose so
they can run it.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
They don't do that. They don't do that. They have
to win. The government is their life. Control is their life.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
They don't just say oh yeah, Mullagod on this one,
It's that time time, time, time.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Luck and load.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
So Michael Verie Show is on the air. Favorite shoot
(00:36):
to make a fist of your hand, right hand. I
want you to.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Crook your arm like this so that your elbow is
out like you're elbowing somebody with your elbow, so that
it turns your fist back so that it's facing.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Your wind.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
And if you sent me an email that said boot Barn,
I want you to punch yourself in the throat.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
You didn't do that.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Why are you punching yourself? You just wanted to punch yourself.
Huh is the heart You could punch yourself if you
sent me a response that said boot Barn, punch yourself
at least one time, and that's from me. I was
(01:30):
very clear, very clear that it was a family's last name.
See this is Chris Spears Belis Has And I said,
dear God, no, why are you always wrong? It was
at Lucas and I tend by that sporting good store.
(01:51):
I think it was called Goodmann's or something. He's from Beaumont.
Do you realize that us people from Golden Triangle. It's
like when it's like when your wife goes into the
Vietnamese nail salon, and they all sit there and they
have the conversation, and they have the conversation about your
(02:12):
wife in front of them. They have their own language.
It would be so fun to learn Vietnamese. Not easy,
but be fun. You going there and in the middle
you could go, yeah, you know what, you're right, Yeah
it's true. Yeah that one toe is crooked. You're right,
you bitch. That'd be fun with't it. But anyway, we
(02:32):
Golden Triangle people, we will associate in Houston. We'll pretend
like we'll live here, but.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Deep down we have our own little codes and things. Anyway,
Chris Beer says, did our power just go off? Our
generator just kicked on? You're kidding?
Speaker 3 (02:53):
He said bells, but he misspelled bells, which makes me
wonder about him if he and grew up in Beaumont.
After all, it was Baskins. Baskins was the name of
the store, and mister Baskin, I don't know how.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Old he was, probably forty five or so. See if
I can go back and find that picture.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
I mentioned that I needed to get Crockett all dued
it up for the for the rodeo, and he sent
me a message and said, why don't you come out here?
Speaker 1 (03:29):
It would be an honor for me to do it.
And he I mean, he did it up right.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
I can't remember if it was Crocket or Michael. It
might have been Michael, but anyway, Baskins was the place.
I don't know if Baskins had a Houston location. They
were more their model was kind of a little more rural,
kind of going up sixty two or eighty seven, kind
(03:56):
of going up that East Texas corridor.
Speaker 1 (04:02):
And I'm trying to remember where they were based.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Maybe Lufkin or might have been Nacadochi's I don't remember,
but nice family and it was one of those.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
The heck oh you were cleaning and it went on.
We had a place called that made me left.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
We had a place called the Horseman Store in Orange
and it was the only place that you could buy
boots and western wear. And we didn't mind because you
loved it. In fact, for those of you who drive
back and forth to Louisiana, when you when you go
through Beaumont, you'll remember this. For those of you who
(04:53):
do it often, when you go through Beaumont, it kind
of curves and you'll go over the bridge over to
the right, you'll see the old steel yards Bethlehem Steele
was a big one over there. That's where my grandfather
worked for some time. My uncle, my uncle Billy worked there.
My uncle Buster worked there.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
For a little while.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
But anyway, we mean, what kind of name is Buster?
Buster Keaton. I mean Buster is a great name. Buster Douglas, Well,
I don't think they were named for the same people.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
But yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:26):
So then you go over the bridge.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
When you come down the bridge, that little speed trap
right there, that's Rose City for about a minute. Go
a little further and you start seeing businesses now and
you'll see some fast food restaurants. You'll see Main Street
crossing right there that is Vider and then you'll see
to the left you'll see the cutoff to go to Deuiyville,
(05:49):
which is where I was, just where my mother lived
when I was actually born. Then you stay on ten,
you go a little further and now you'll start seeing
some fms and then you will go before you get
to Orange about fifteen minutes. I lived on the right
(06:09):
right there, and there's a church right there called Old
First Orange Baptist Church. I rode my bike to that
church and you go a little further, and then there
is something that causes me a lot, a lot of
internal strife, and that is the Highway sixty two intersection.
And you will see they got a water burger, they
(06:31):
got a waffle house.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Oh my goodness, Heaven, just heaven.
Speaker 5 (06:40):
It was.
Speaker 3 (06:44):
None of that was there. None of that was there.
There was my little elementary school to the left, mich
Lewis Elementary.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
None of that was there. There was a Love's truck stop.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
I will admit my my mom and my brother Chris,
My and I. Our tradition was we watched Lamar basketball
games Tommy Sewell and BB Davis and that those Pat
Foster was the coach back then, and anyway, we would
we would watch the games and we would drive up
(07:23):
there and buy beloney. We'd get fresh life slice blooney
and a loaf of bread and potato chips, and we
would come back and watch the game with our fresh
baloney sandwich.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
It was a big, big.
Speaker 3 (07:36):
Time, big time anyway. So when you go a little further,
you will see MLK, which is the only MLK I
know where you won't get shot. You keep going and
you'll see on the right, you'll see sixteenth Street. And
the way you'll know that is sixteenth Street is just
to the right. At the intersection there it'll say Monica
(07:57):
Brothers Tires. Been there since I was born. Thing been
there forever. And on the left you'll see Northgate Mall.
So that street right there is a street that was
that was when when Orange was segregated. Blacks were on
the east side and whites were on the west side.
And with desegregation, no white people went onto the east side,
(08:20):
but black people came onto the west side. And so
you go and the next turn off to the right
is Simmons Drive. There's no reason you'd ever go there.
I was born, I was raised from time I was
about three. Down there, there was an old navy base
called Riverside. Everybody in Orange lived in Riverside. But right
there on the right, it's still there. It says the
(08:41):
Horseman Store. And that was the place where you went
to get your belt and you got your name stamped
on the back of it, and you were happy to
have it, and you walked in there, and that was
for workwear and Western rere and that smell, that smell
of that love.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
Republic Boot Company still has that smell of the side.
I love it.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
But Michael Berry show.
Speaker 2 (09:04):
These ladies they're so nice, you know, they make you
feel like it's all about you and customer service.

Don't worry. Took me on my bone, namessel. I'm thinking
I'm more to my mom My my mom, so now
tell her my mother to my nama, come down and
I'm come there. I talk to my mom someday I'm
coming here.
Speaker 6 (12:16):
Oh, she said, you look so pretty.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Alright, alright, let me tell you something.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
I turned seventeen in nineteen eighty seven. It's raining. You
didn't tell me it was gonna rain. I just looked
out and it's raining. I love the rain. Love it,
love it, love it. Do not care for sunshine.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
I know I'm weird. You don't have to tell me.
I didn't choose it. It's just the way it is.
My favorite thing is to sit out on the back porch.
It's got a little covering and let the rain hit
about three feet from me, just far enough that it
doesn't splash on me. I absolutely, it's coming down. Yes man, Wow,
(13:27):
okay we needed it?
Speaker 4 (13:28):
Ooh man?
Speaker 1 (13:29):
Did we needed?
Speaker 4 (13:31):
All this?
Speaker 1 (13:32):
Just vile. It's so depressing.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
All the rubbish, all the trash from the trees being trimmed,
and it's not being picked up anywhere. I mean, yeah,
there are some places it's being picked up. My buddy,
Jimmy Pappas is the mayor of Hunter's Creek, and he
sent out an email and said, hey, we got the
(13:56):
people that used to own whoever owns the land for
Los Alamatus. On I ten, they're at Old Hillcroft on
that corner. Whoever that is agreed to let them put
their trash there because you don't want to have you
know what we have out here, which is trash out
on the road that's been there forever. And the worst
part is it's that nasty brown because it's dead. And
(14:21):
when it started it was piled up nice, and now
with the wind blowing and everything else, now it's just
kind of strewn around, and it's it's terrible. It's the
death I never forget. I was driving down Sam Philippi
eastbound and as you come through river Oaks, a friend
(14:42):
of mine, Jonathan Fairbanks, has this beautiful English manor home
there on the left, and it always had this glory
just as you're coming up to river Oaks Boulevard and
those houses have the old ivy, have the old brick,
the old brick walls, and they have ivy on them
(15:02):
that's probably been there heck, I don't know seventy eighty years.
And then with I guess it was Harvey and the
water rose there, that ivy turned brown and died. And
then the ivy falls off and you get kind of
the discoloration where that ivy had been.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Well, that's what this looks like.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Who bears the burden of the corporate income tax? Dan Eigen,
one of my favorite listeners, started a charity called We.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Will Not Be Silenced.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
And the idea was due to the corporal due to
the cancel culture, that people who spoke out against COVID
against January sixth, against dudes pulling their wianers out in
the girls locker room, that they would that there would
(16:02):
be this behive of media and in the state who
would attack them. And an individual is not in a
position to defend themselves if if they're not well healed,
So most people would just you know, duck take the
incoming and hope it stopped. And so Dan, who is
(16:23):
not wealthy, but he's done very well. He's been successful.
He's made good decisions.
Speaker 4 (16:30):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (16:31):
He invested in timber up like north of Crockett maybe
it's Anderson, and he works at it. I mean he
works selling his his timber. Anyway, he started this organization
that will fund people who fight back who are attacked,
(16:51):
and it's called We Will Not Be Silence Anyway.
Speaker 1 (16:54):
So after years and years, I think he used.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
To be.
Speaker 3 (16:59):
At BMC if I remember correctly. Anyway, he said, who
bears a burden of the corporate income tax? Stockholders, workers, investors, everyone,
all of the above end up with less money. So
(17:20):
everyone they pay, babysitters, contractors, stores, lawnmowers, they lose out
as well. If you think that government taking money from
rich people is going to help you, boy, you're you
got another thing.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
The Michael Barry Show. That's a song.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
We don't normally play depeche Mode because I have a
kill switch, And while Ramon would love to, the kill
switch can only be activated once per day, so if
he were to play a depeche Mode song that would
he would be done for the day, So he knows better.
But in honor of Russell Russell Ibarra, whose birthday we
(18:02):
celebrated last night, we do that we make a sacrifice.
Speaker 1 (18:10):
So let's think it's about just kind of sprinkling now, Okay,
all right.
Speaker 3 (18:16):
So very happy birthday to our friend and show sponsor
and mentor and a guy who has done a lot
for our show and for Camp Hope and for the
thousands of people who worked under him. You know, every
(18:36):
business is an opportunity to reshape the country.
Speaker 1 (18:43):
Surprises me. How often I.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Walk a business with a business owner and they don't
know the names of any of the employees.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
I find that very odd.
Speaker 3 (18:54):
Like a restaurant. Somebody has one restaurant you're walking through
and they don't bother to know the people names. That
is a man, that's a That's a real red flag
to me. Muhammad Ali said, I can tell a lot
about you by the way you treat the waiter because
(19:14):
the circumstances could be changed and I could be that
old black guy bringing you your food and watching how
you react. He wouldn't have been what he wouldn't have
been old bringing food?
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Why not?
Speaker 3 (19:28):
Are you really making Parkinson's jokes on the program at
ten thirty seven today?
Speaker 4 (19:35):
That was you, not me?
Speaker 3 (19:38):
My goodness, I got a I got an email from
m AD this morning and I didn't know what a
D was, but apparently it was dyslexic Mothers of America
(20:00):
arrest in a serial burglary ring targeted at least seventy
six businesses over the last seven months. No surprise always happens,
thank you, Rodney. One of the men arrested was free
on bond for burglary. Another man was arrested, granted bond
(20:21):
of eighty thousand, which means he gets his buddies to
bring eight thousand dollars and he gets out. Kho U
reports they targeted mom and pop businesses and some of
these businesses lost so much money they had to close down.
Speaker 1 (20:39):
They came through the back.
Speaker 5 (20:41):
Voo Trong says, the life of a business owner isn't
always easy.
Speaker 6 (20:44):
We just worked through all the kinks, bad times, good times,
deal with it.
Speaker 5 (20:49):
And in April, his bar, the Phoenix on West Timert
faced hard times. Broke through doors, broke through another door,
broke through a third door. In surveillance video he shared
with Khou eleven news, after breaking in, you can see
two thieves head straight for the office and get to work,
cut through this safe, stole out of cash and now.
Court records obtained by kho U eleven tell the story
(21:11):
of a sprawling, months long investigation by Houston police that
uncovered an organized burglary ring targeting bars, restaurants, and small
businesses across the area. The Harris County DA's office telling
Khou eleven exclusively that the four suspects, Torrian Potts, Riccaro Middleton,
Augustine EURISTI and Ronnie O'Bryant Junior stole just over three
(21:35):
hundred thousand dollars in cash in a crime spree that
began in October of last year and ended in April.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
So scary, I guess is there so many?
Speaker 5 (21:43):
Mark Clayton's business squabble was targeted a few months before Trong.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
Got us some slack, Yeah, just like just like, yeah,
working hard, trying to provide five families and our staff,
and yeah.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
Just would be nice to be left alone.
Speaker 4 (21:57):
I'm just happy to have caught now.
Speaker 5 (22:00):
We're also told tonight that law enforcement in other areas
maybe investigating cases that could be tied to this crew.
But it wasn't just money that they stole. Investigators say
that they also caused more than one hundred thousand dollars
in damages, including one case in which they actually drove
a vehicle into a business, sparking of fire.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
I wish someone had been inside and shot and killed them.
I wished every single burglar who is committing a burglary
could be shot and killed on the spot for all
to see and left there for all to see.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
But they're not, are they see.
Speaker 3 (22:56):
ABC thirteen here in Houston ran a story. Texas strict
abortion laws may be fueling tragic trend. Six babies abandoned
in Harris County since June. So if women can't just
butcher their baby on any street corner and the taxpayers
(23:18):
pay for it. If they can't, they're just gonna have
a baby and throw them in the dumpster or throw
them anywhere else, and it's your fault.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
This is what we get. Abortion.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Is what You're gonna get a steady dose of abortion
between now and November. Because democrats rely on unmarried women.
And what is the appeal to unmarried women? Watch very
closely and you'll understand this is it. Why are women unmarried?
It's not widowed women they're going after. It is young
(23:57):
to middle aged unmarried women. Why are they unmarried? Because
they're lesbian? Lesbians are far more conservative than straight women.
Don't argue with me on this.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
They are. When I had a real.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Estate company, we had a lesbian couple who took us in.
Were they hot, No, they were not hot, but they
were wonderful. One of them was rather prominent in town
as a business owner and just thought I was the best,
(24:41):
and we would at every time I closed a deal,
I would bring my clients or the other side, depending
on the commercial or residential deal, to her restaurant, and
we would have the most amazing She had a charing
red clot but anyway, because of her friendship, we had
a lot lesbian.
Speaker 1 (25:00):
That's only a small part of the unmarried women. I
want to come back to that.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
But they are naturally conservative. That's why Democrats have to
convince them.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
You know, the Republicans.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
Hating this guy, Michael Barry. Every adult fits into one
or the other category. There are four boxes, married men,
unmarried men, married women, unmarried women. Interestingly, the data shows
(25:40):
married men vote majority Republican. Unmarried men vote majority Republican,
although not to the same extent, but majority married women
majority Republican. Unmarried women sixty eight percent vote Democrat. Only
(26:07):
thirty one percent vote Republican. And interestingly, I suspect that
thirty one percent that's voting Republican.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
That's older widowed women. Unmarried women.
Speaker 3 (26:26):
Are living on a plantation of the Democrat parties making
and everything they push is tested to win them over everything.
This is why you would think that abortion is the
(26:47):
most important thing in America today. I've traveled the world
I've never ever heard talk of abortion, but it is here.
It is, boy, it's we got to have it. These
seventy six businesses that were targeted by these these thugs.
(27:09):
You ever been the victim of a crime like this,
a burglary, It's devastating. I've known people that won't drive
a vehicle that's been stolen. They'll dump it for a
loss to keep from if you feel so violated. It
takes something away from you. But we don't talk about that.
(27:33):
We don't elect a president on the basis of whether
or not we're going to spend money. And you may say, well,
it's not a federal issue.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Damn sure is.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
Block grants from the federal government to states and even cities, universities.
You wouldn't believe how much it adds up to be
it's a major source of funding. If the block grants
aren't for fighting crime, the block grants are figuring out
(28:06):
the different ways you can take a boy's testicles off
as early as possible, because that's what these crazy, whacked
out women and they're purse carrying men want. It is
sick and perverse and it should be called as much.
Now what they'll do is they'll say you're an awful
(28:29):
person because someone shouldn't have to feel bad about who
they are. I agree with that, I do. If someone
comes to that conclusion on their own, they're a small
(28:49):
percentage of people suffering gender dysphoria, A very small percentage. See,
we didn't all of a sudden have everybody needing a cigarette.
It became a social trend, and people are drawn to
(29:11):
that everybody else is doing it. There's pressure at home,
there's pressure at the school, there's pressure from other kids
at school. I never had anybody tell me their kid
was transitioning. I've probably had it five times in the
last five months.
Speaker 1 (29:31):
I know people personally very.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
Well who've had who've transitioned, And guess what, just like
most everything else, I believe in life, if they choose
to do that as an adult, that's what it means
to be an adult.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
I'm a libertarian when it comes to that.
Speaker 3 (29:53):
If they choose with their own body, not a baby
inside them, but with their own body to use a drug,
to drink beer, to smoke pot, to cut off their willie,
that's their business as an adult. If you're old enough
(30:18):
to go fight our wars, then you're old enough to
decide if you can smoke a cigarette and drink a beer.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
And transition.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
But why is it so important that they transition these kids.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
As early as possible.
Speaker 3 (30:38):
Well, the child wants it, first of all, it's not true. Secondly,
if the child thinks they want it, there's an almost
one hundred percent chance that the parent has led them
to that decision.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
What are the incentives, rewards, encouragement.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
For that kind of behavior? Do you know how you
know this? The number of families that have multiple children transitioning.
It was a study done. It's probably been two years ago. Now,
something like sixty eight percent of the mothers are diagnosed
(31:19):
with mental health problems. It's okay to call somebody crazy
when they are. Lena Hidalgo is bat blank crazy.
Speaker 1 (31:30):
She is. You can see it, I can see it.
We all know it. You can say I mean, you
can do whatever you want. It's fine. Doesn't make it
any less true. She's nuts And if you had to
work around her.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
I know staffers at work at the county, Oh my god,
is she a mess?
Speaker 1 (31:52):
Is she a mess?
Speaker 5 (31:54):
Or what?
Speaker 1 (31:56):
Absolute nut job?
Speaker 3 (32:00):
Not a person who should be in a position where
discernment is key. But if Kamala Harris can be president
and she's already vice president, and she will be president.
Speaker 1 (32:13):
Before November fifth. Why because it'll give her a huge boost.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
She'll again they don't want she's getting a boost now
because she's the candidate.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
She's a cultural phenomenon. She's a joyful warrior. So we'll
do the boost.
Speaker 3 (32:29):
She'll smile, they'll take pictures, she won't answer questions, she
won't have to say anything.
Speaker 1 (32:33):
The media will do all the work for her.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
And as that's starting to fade, then we'll do the
next round where she's the president, but so late in
the day she can't screw it up, and they'll have
a couple of official ceremonies. There'll be an immaculation. It's
going to happen. Prepare yourself, don't sit in a corner
and go fetal position.
Speaker 1 (32:56):
Gird your luins. This is going to be a battle, folks.
Speaker 3 (33:00):
Some of you are going, Michael, I think what the
Democrats are doing is they're gonna let her lose so
they can run it.
Speaker 1 (33:06):
They don't do that. They don't do that. They have
to win. The government is their life. Control is their life.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
They don't just say oh yeah, Mullagod on this one,
