It's that time time time, luck and load. The Michael
darry Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
What's up, my people. You know I am your weather man,
Buster Rhymes. I've come today to give you your weather forecast.
You know today looks like one of those beautiful days.
You know, to be perfectly honest, there ain't a cloud
in the sky.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
You know.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
It's the kind of weather that you take your girl
to the beach, lay it down and talk to her.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Luther, step to the microphone.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Man, I wake up in the morning, U and the
sunlight hurts. Smile and something strange with the one and
the heavy. Then I'm looking at you and the world
(01:08):
is all with me.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Moms for Liberty is a nationwide organization that promotes parental rights.
The group's mission, as stated is clear. Moms for Liberty
is dedicated to fighting for the survival of America by unifying, educating,
(01:33):
and empowering parents to defend their parental rights at all
levels of governments of government. The group's stated values are
as joyful warriors, we stand for truth, We build relationships,
(01:57):
We empower others well. Shawn tier, who is the Democrat
running for Harris County District Attorney, financially supported by George Soros,
publicly attacked Moms for Liberty as quote, one of the
most virulently hateful political groups in the country. Wait, we've
(02:25):
got hamas groups openly acting as activists in this country.
We've got Black Lives Matter burning things down and beaten
people to death. We've got attacks on the president. He
was shot in the head. Another man was arrested in
the country hiring hitmen to kill him. And you're gonna
(02:52):
call them the Moms for Liberty a bunch of moms,
one of the most virulently hateful political groups in the country. Wow,
he attacked. According to them, their stop child trafficking for them. Yeah,
(03:19):
nothing more hateful, Nothing more hateful than trying to keep
children from being trafficked so that they can be sex toys.
That's really hateful, I guess to the perverts that want
(03:42):
to use them as sex toys, how awful can you be?
You don't have to take a stand on that group.
It's not like this is a case. It's dropped on
your desk and everybody's looking. You don't have to go
picking fights with moms for buddy, did buddy did? I
(04:08):
hope you will remember we'll start voting very soon, and
it will be very important that you vote for Donald Trump,
but it will be very important that you vote for
Ted Cruz. It would be very important that you vote
for Mike Knox for sheriff, be very important that you
vote for Dan Simons for district attorney, and all the
(04:31):
way down the line. Every year drives me crazy. People
will say I voted for Trump, but then I didn't
know any of these others. I just left. Well, of
course you did. God help you when your daughter is
murdered and the person who did it appears before a
Democrat judge that was up on the ballot. But you
(04:54):
couldn't be bothered for the person with an R after
their name, because I I, he'll live next door Timmy.
So I don't really know what to do, so I
didn't do anything. Harris County Public Health director Barbie Robinson
was fired last week and yet another bid rigging scandal.
(05:17):
There are emails that suggest she was receiving a bribe
while working here by a company called Dema in California
to work as a consultant. Come on, lady, how dumb
do you have to be if you're going to take
a bribe. You just announced that you're an artist, do
(05:43):
some finger paining, and have Dema by your art for
more than they would pay for a Picasso masterpiece. That's
what Hunter Biden did. Well. Holly Hanson with The Texan
is back at it again has the big story, reporting
(06:03):
that while Miss Robinson was allegedly taking bribes, they've given
twenty million dollars of your tax dollars at the public
health Department here in Harris County to Dema out of California.
I mean, that's worth paying a bribe for her twenty
million dollar contract. Well, now we find out that Miss
(06:24):
Barbie Robinson, starting in January of this year, while she
was the public Health director of Harris County. Not a
small job to start with if you're doing it. Starting
in January of this year, she was also working for
the public health department in Yuba County, Arizona. Oh yes, yes,
(06:45):
she was making nearly two hundred thousand dollars in that position.
Hanson also reports the Harris County District Attorney's Office has
been investigating Robinson and nearly a dozen of over the
past few months. There are irregularities at the Harris County
(07:10):
Public Health department. The county judge is under a county
Judge's three top aids are under indictment. The Attorney General
has issued an order that the Harris County government is
not to just send out voting registration to every citizen
(07:36):
using civitek. The Democrat donors that are now negotiating, by
their own admission, with the forty different counties to rig
this election. There are bad, bad people afoot, really bad
people afoot. But don't let it depress you. Just determine.
(08:00):
Vote against them, get other people to vote against them,
don't do business with them, don't hire the snakes into
your organization, don't in any way entangle yourself with these
people because they are evil, and eventually, eventually, one way
or another, it all comes out. Now, whether they're punished
(08:24):
or not, it all comes out. Hunter Biden's case is
proceeding a pace. We'll have an update on that on
the evening show. But first coming up, the FBI is
investigating former City of Houston Urban park ranger Joey lamar Ellis.
(08:48):
Remember the upranger. Well, there's an update on the back end. Yes,
I just put that on a Michael Barriss, So, Michael
Berry's show. FBIS Houston Division announces that they are now
launching a civil rights investigation into former City of Houston
(09:12):
urban park ranger Joey Lamar Ellis because they say he
targeted gay men at Cullen Memorial and other Houston area parks,
forcing them to quote, pay money, and or sexually assaulted
(09:38):
them in exchange for their ability to leave the park.
Nobody leaves the park till ranger Joey get some relief.
I got rent to pay and I've been locked up
(10:00):
up for two years. Which one is it? The FBI says,
employment records show that Joey Lamar Ellis quote began working
as a park ranger in twenty nineteen and could potentially
have victims spanning from twenty nineteen to the present. Ellis
(10:25):
was recently charged with felony official oppression by the Harris
County District Attorney's office. They believe there are more victims
who have not come forward due to embarrassment, fear, or shame.
Houston Police Chief Noe Dias says, Ellis quote would start soliciting,
(10:46):
engage with them that had broken some sort of law.
He'd say, a violation of a law which there wasn't
and then he would solicit money from them. He would
essentially lock people in with their vehicles, federal investigator said.
Potential victims who may have been extorted or sexually assaulted
(11:06):
by Ellis, or have information relevant to the investigation, can
fill out a form online and submit it anonymously. Ellis
faces charges of felony, official oppression and enhanced sexual assault
by the Harris County District Attorney's office. Oh my, this
(11:33):
is this is something else right here. This is this
is bad stuff. Audio of Harris County Assistant District Attorney
Kimberly Smith from last week on an ABC thirteen.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
Report told you about Joey Ellis's legal troubles. Back in June,
more victims came forward in the latest charges. Prosecutors say
one of the incidents happened here at Memorial Park and
another happened on the west side in Colham Park, and
they believe there are more victims out there. This is
(12:13):
former Urban Park ranger Joey Ellis in court today facing
a judge on charges of official oppression and sexual assault.
Prosecutors say the former ranger would be in uniform and
then target men at various Houston parks, and he will.
Speaker 6 (12:28):
Approach them and he will accuse them of being at
the park doing inappropriate things to which they are not
doing and there's no proof of and then he will
tell them either pay me money or perform oral sex
on me, or I'll have you arrested in your vehicle toad.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
ABC thirteen first brought you allegations against Ellis in June.
In that case, Josh Betty told us at the time
that Ellis made the similar demands of him.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
He knew what he was doing, though he's probably done
it before, he didn't look nervous doing it.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
Ellis's court appointed attorney today pushed back against the charges.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
He denies this wholeheartedly. Mister Ellis has no criminal history.
He appears to be a very good and respected man.
He has a very close family network, and he's denying
these allegations wholeheartedly.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
Prosecutors have also added a hate crime enhancement to the
sexual assault charge because he allegedly targeted his victims based
on their sexuality. Ellis is currently in jail, and if
he makes bond, he will have to be under house arrest.
Speaker 6 (13:26):
We're just so grateful for their bravery and their courage.
To come forward because I can't imagine. I know it
can't be easy. But because of them, he's back behind
bars where he belongs.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
If he does make bond, the judge has ruled he
can remain under house arrest with family members in Louisiana
as the case works this way through the legal system.
But the bigger point here is that this is still
an active investigation by the Houston Police. They believe there
could be more victims out there, So if you have
any information, you're urged to call authorities.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Did she say? He pushed back? So it's a hate crime,
which is a worse crime because he's targeting gay men.
How do we know that? How would he know someone
(14:21):
is gay? What's your argument there? How does he know?
You know the answer right? Because he targeted men who
were already having sex in the park, which is a
widely known phenomenon. He rolled up on men already having
(14:47):
sex in the park. He didn't just see some dude.
I'll organ if there's two dudes together in the park
and they're listening to Coldplay, you know what they're up to.
It's not really a secret. HPD Chief no IDAZ clip
(15:09):
number twenty one.
Speaker 7 (15:10):
The suspect here in this case was targeting people inside
the park.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
He wore a uniform.
Speaker 7 (15:17):
To be clear, he was not It was not a
police uniform.
Speaker 8 (15:20):
There was no badge.
Speaker 7 (15:22):
It's essentially a shirt with patches. During his time here,
he would come into the park with this vehicle and
he would essentially lock people in with their vehicles and
he'd approach them from there that he would start soliciting,
engage with them that they had broken some sort of law,
there was a violation of law, which there wasn't, and
(15:44):
then he would solicit money from them, sometimes asking the
victims to pay via pinmo or other electronic means, and
essentially robbing them above monies, threatening them to tow their vehicles,
or actually putting them in jail.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
He just wonder what patches he chose. And this looks
official enough. This and this badge I got at the
toy store. When asked for a comment about the investigation,
rump ranger Joel Joey Lamar Ellis had this to say.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
Look what the homosexuals have done to me everything.
Speaker 9 (16:30):
It was so dramatic and flamboyant.
Speaker 10 (16:32):
It just makes me want to set myself on fire.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Ramona I told you about the time I was in
a movie with Lee Majors and Tom Sizemore and Robert
Losardo from The Mule. Oh I have Okay, I couldn't remember.
I was going to tell you if you wanted to
hear about it. Well, I only say that to point
out that I have contacts in the entertainment world. I
don't want you to sell me short my Hollywood contacts.
(17:00):
I don't bring it up to be braggadocious because that's
not something I would ever do. Well these contacts know
not those individuals. Tom has left us as you know,
and Lee. I would not speak for Lee. But other
contacts I have in the entertainment world tell me that
there's a television show in the works about the Rump Ranger.
In the show, he leads a team of like minded rangers.
(17:24):
They patrol the park looking for homo activity. They don't
have a cast yet, but they do have a theme
song the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 10 (18:02):
He he.
Speaker 2 (18:07):

Speaker 8 (18:12):
Couta tells them either pay me money or perform oral
sex on me, or I'll have you arrested in your vehicle.

doing my job on looking for once you see the

Speaker 1 (20:25):
Pop rock razor ruck frasor speaking of jacking, the murderer
of ninety year old World War Two veteran Nelson Beckett
(20:48):
during a carjacking. He was murdered, and then the turd,
while fleeing in his car, drove over him in his
own car. A ninety year old man Fort ben County
(21:08):
records show Khalil Denzel Arsenal was arrested for evading police
during a dui stop on September ninth, twenty twenty one.
So he's already driving drunk and then he flees from
the cops, which makes this an aggravated circumstance that makes
(21:29):
it far more dangerous for you and your children. The
evading arrest is far worse than the dui for which
he should have been held, should have done some time.
But now they gave him a bond. Just we'll probably
(21:50):
never have a trial, but if we do, sometime, you know,
twenty years from now, come back promise. Yeah, thank you square, Yeah,
well you seem really trustworthy. We'll take your word for
it and then he didn't come back to court and
(22:11):
the bond was revoked because the bond was an assurance
that he would show back up at court to answer
for the charges, which they weren't holding him at this
point to do. But he said I'll come back. They said,
we trust you. You seem like a good guy. Vote Democrat.
Don't forget we're the ones that let you do this. Okay,
(22:33):
I mean I do I do it.
Speaker 10 (22:34):
I do it.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
So they let him go and he doesn't show up
to court, so they revoked the bond.
Speaker 10 (22:42):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Oh, now we got to send somebody out to get
him with a warrant bring him back. So that wastes
a lot. A lot of policing is going and getting
people who violated their bond. But they reinstated it. Yes,
(23:05):
they reinstated the bomb because they decided, you know what,
we decide you are a great guy, and it's okay
that you did all these things and that you didn't
show up to court. The story from Fox twenty six.
Speaker 13 (23:19):
Twenty one year old Khalil Orsino is charged with capital murder,
two counts of aggravated a soul, and tampering with evidence.
Please see Saturday on Westbury Parkway. He shot ninety year
old Nelson Beckett, stole his car, then ran him over
will Fleet.
Speaker 14 (23:34):
I'm very sorry his life had it in this way.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
I mean, goodness, gracious, this.
Speaker 14 (23:41):
Is not the way I pitched ending his life.
Speaker 13 (23:44):
A Navy vet, a loving father, grandfather and great grandfather,
gruesomely killed.
Speaker 14 (23:49):
From other people. I enjoyed with his tanley and enjoyed
helping people. Polisfortunate paddle glad his life, and he's always
been an inspiration coming on my life.
Speaker 13 (24:07):
The case went national fast and four days later police
got Arceenu behind bars.
Speaker 14 (24:12):
I'm very thankful that the arrist was made for Ben.
Speaker 13 (24:16):
County record show. He was arrested for evading during a
dui stop in twenty twenty one. He bonded out and
the case was reset time and again, the District Attorney's
office saying he was accepted into a diversion program in
twenty twenty three, but failed to complete it and was
removed last month. He missed a court date in June
forfeiting his bonds, but it was reinstated.
Speaker 14 (24:37):
My dance in heaven. I'm trusting that justice will take
its course.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
You're listening to the Michael Berry show Way. Why did
Another Time Soda Fountain come to our attention yesterday? What
was the basis of that? Did Chad send a story
about that? Oh no, no, Rachel sent me a story
that it was a profile that Houston Public Media credit
(25:04):
Houston Public Media had done a profile and it was
just kind of a feel good story of down in Rosenberg.
Here's this lady, Renee Butler, and in two thousand and
three her husband bought I think he bought that block
or whatever. And it looks like I haven't been down yet.
Ramon's going and I'm going to go very soon as well.
(25:26):
But it looks like kind of one of the old
town centers. I don't know if this is in the
town center, but it looks like an old town center.
It's just perfect like you'd see in Avasota or Belleville
or anywhere else. And it's on a corner. And I
guess he must be in the real estate business. And
it was her story about how she had this dream
(25:47):
come to find out Another Time Soda Fountain was once
Frank's pharmacy doctor upstairs, the pharmacists downstairs, soda jerks, phosphates, malts,
you know, the old Norman Rockwell painting, I mean, come
to life, and this woman made it her passion to
do it, and twenty one years later, here we are.
(26:07):
So I had dinner with the iHeart executives last night
and one of them is Kristin Armstrong, and I was
talking about another time. Well one of them had heard
me talking about it, and Kristin lives in Richmond, and
I said, do you ever make it to Rosenberg? Just
(26:29):
to another time? Soda Phontain And she said, all the time,
how do you know about it? And that's why I
talked to the owner today and it's a great story
and the whole thing. She said, Oh my goodness, and
everybody was spellbound. They'd heard me talking about but she'd
been there, she had all these stories to tell about
how incredible it was. So we thought we'd check in
(26:49):
with Renee Butler on how it went yesterday. Did y'all
y'all are open eleven to five? So I didn't know
if people had time. We talked about y'all late in
the show to get down there.
Speaker 10 (27:01):
People had plenty of time, and they came all day
and up until five o'clock they were coming in and
they made it a point to let me know where
they heard it from, and they had.
Speaker 9 (27:17):
I ran out of the sausage in sauerkraut almost immediately.
Everybody thought that was a great blue plate. So it was.
It was an amazing day. I don't even know how
to describe how perfect yesterday was. But thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Well, No, I'm glad you're there. But I guess I'm
confused because I don't see sausage in sauer Kraft on them.
Oh that was the That was the special yesterday.
Speaker 9 (27:44):
That was a special.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Yes, Oh you know what I remember now. I asked
you what the special of the day was and said
that I'm looking at your menu here.
Speaker 9 (27:55):
Oh, yes, yeah, we have a different blue plate every day.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Yeah, yeah, it was a blue plate. Yes you of
course you have to call it the broom plate. What
is the blue plate today?
Speaker 9 (28:04):
Today?
Speaker 10 (28:05):
Is meat loaf and massed potatoes, real mashed potatoes, not
box mashed potatoes.
Speaker 11 (28:11):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
I don't know how often you check your emails. I'm
on it all day, but I got so many emails,
and I for I couldn't forward them all to you
because I'm not caught out caught up on them all.
But I've started forwarding them. You don't know if you've
been reading them. But the question I should have asked,
and this is on me, This is my mistake. I'll
take full responsibility. There were a lot of questions about
your French fries. How they're made?
Speaker 11 (28:37):
They are?
Speaker 10 (28:38):
They they're the oh my gosh, they're not fresh made. Okay,
well are my furs.
Speaker 9 (28:46):
But they're they're the higher end. They're the.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Uh, all the times you have going on made fresh
We're gonna we're gonna cut her some slack on it.
Will you try the fries when you're there?
Speaker 9 (29:01):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (29:02):
I mean you got You've got a lot going on
for a small shop. That are that are fresh made?
Speaker 13 (29:07):
All?
Speaker 10 (29:08):
Right?
Speaker 9 (29:08):
Then?
Speaker 1 (29:08):
And then what is Friday's blue plate special? You don't know?
Speaker 13 (29:16):
No, I do know.
Speaker 9 (29:18):
We literally just changed over because.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Every month's Saturday blue plates.
Speaker 9 (29:22):
So I haven't I haven't memorized that there's a Saturday
you only get we'll have ba.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
What's up now?
Speaker 9 (29:30):
You get it Wednesday Sundays only. I mean Saturday's the
only day we don't have it.
Speaker 10 (29:34):
On Friday, we've got baked chicken with rice, and Sunday
are pork steaks.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
The website just says, Wednesday through Friday is blue plate special.
I guess it's too complicatedesday through Friday. How come you
don't do it on Saturday because you're so busy already
or what what's the reasoning on that?
Speaker 10 (29:52):
Well, in the past, blue tights don't sell well on
a Saturday because it's a different crowd that comes in, okay,
and you are more of a burger hot dog kind
of crowd. And so because I make everything trash, we
were wasting it.
Speaker 9 (30:08):
So I pulled the Saturday.
Speaker 15 (30:10):
So the weekday crowd are more your locals, your your
business people and people that live in town, and Saturday
is more families Ramona and his family kind deal.
Speaker 9 (30:23):
Correct, Absolutely, Okay.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
That makes sense. That makes sense.
Speaker 10 (30:27):
Well good if your husband search crowd, well, it would
be my ex husband.
Speaker 9 (30:34):
Sorry, it's if you knew a relationship. You would laugh
because it's like now we're very good friends. But now
my ex husband thinks I'm crazy, but are you?
Speaker 10 (30:50):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (30:50):
Absolutely, I'm crazy. But that's okay. You you understand small business,
You got to be crazy to do.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
This, yes, you do.
Speaker 13 (30:58):
You do.
Speaker 1 (30:59):

mean you really do.
Speaker 4 (31:04):

What's up, my people. You know I am your weather man,
Buster Rhymes. I've come today to give you your weather forecast.
You know today looks like one of those beautiful days.
You know, to be perfectly honest, there ain't a cloud
in the sky.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
You know.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
It's the kind of weather that you take your girl
to the beach, lay it down and talk to her.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Luther, step to the microphone.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Man, I wake up in the morning, U and the
sunlight hurts. Smile and something strange with the one and
the heavy. Then I'm looking at you and the world
(01:08):
is all with me.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Moms for Liberty is a nationwide organization that promotes parental rights.
The group's mission, as stated is clear. Moms for Liberty
is dedicated to fighting for the survival of America by unifying, educating,
(01:33):
and empowering parents to defend their parental rights at all
levels of governments of government. The group's stated values are
as joyful warriors, we stand for truth, We build relationships,
(01:57):
We empower others well. Shawn tier, who is the Democrat
running for Harris County District Attorney, financially supported by George Soros,
publicly attacked Moms for Liberty as quote, one of the
most virulently hateful political groups in the country. Wait, we've
(02:25):
got hamas groups openly acting as activists in this country.
We've got Black Lives Matter burning things down and beaten
people to death. We've got attacks on the president. He
was shot in the head. Another man was arrested in
the country hiring hitmen to kill him. And you're gonna
(02:52):
call them the Moms for Liberty a bunch of moms,
one of the most virulently hateful political groups in the country. Wow,
he attacked. According to them, their stop child trafficking for them. Yeah,
(03:19):
nothing more hateful, Nothing more hateful than trying to keep
children from being trafficked so that they can be sex toys.
That's really hateful, I guess to the perverts that want
(03:42):
to use them as sex toys, how awful can you be?
You don't have to take a stand on that group.
It's not like this is a case. It's dropped on
your desk and everybody's looking. You don't have to go
picking fights with moms for buddy, did buddy did? I
(04:08):
hope you will remember we'll start voting very soon, and
it will be very important that you vote for Donald Trump,
but it will be very important that you vote for
Ted Cruz. It would be very important that you vote
for Mike Knox for sheriff, be very important that you
vote for Dan Simons for district attorney, and all the
(04:31):
way down the line. Every year drives me crazy. People
will say I voted for Trump, but then I didn't
know any of these others. I just left. Well, of
course you did. God help you when your daughter is
murdered and the person who did it appears before a
Democrat judge that was up on the ballot. But you
(04:54):
couldn't be bothered for the person with an R after
their name, because I I, he'll live next door Timmy.
So I don't really know what to do, so I
didn't do anything. Harris County Public Health director Barbie Robinson
was fired last week and yet another bid rigging scandal.
(05:17):
There are emails that suggest she was receiving a bribe
while working here by a company called Dema in California
to work as a consultant. Come on, lady, how dumb
do you have to be if you're going to take
a bribe. You just announced that you're an artist, do
(05:43):
some finger paining, and have Dema by your art for
more than they would pay for a Picasso masterpiece. That's
what Hunter Biden did. Well. Holly Hanson with The Texan
is back at it again has the big story, reporting
(06:03):
that while Miss Robinson was allegedly taking bribes, they've given
twenty million dollars of your tax dollars at the public
health Department here in Harris County to Dema out of California.
I mean, that's worth paying a bribe for her twenty
million dollar contract. Well, now we find out that Miss
(06:24):
Barbie Robinson, starting in January of this year, while she
was the public Health director of Harris County. Not a
small job to start with if you're doing it. Starting
in January of this year, she was also working for
the public health department in Yuba County, Arizona. Oh yes, yes,
(06:45):
she was making nearly two hundred thousand dollars in that position.
Hanson also reports the Harris County District Attorney's Office has
been investigating Robinson and nearly a dozen of over the
past few months. There are irregularities at the Harris County
(07:10):
Public Health department. The county judge is under a county
Judge's three top aids are under indictment. The Attorney General
has issued an order that the Harris County government is
not to just send out voting registration to every citizen
(07:36):
using civitek. The Democrat donors that are now negotiating, by
their own admission, with the forty different counties to rig
this election. There are bad, bad people afoot, really bad
people afoot. But don't let it depress you. Just determine.
(08:00):
Vote against them, get other people to vote against them,
don't do business with them, don't hire the snakes into
your organization, don't in any way entangle yourself with these
people because they are evil, and eventually, eventually, one way
or another, it all comes out. Now, whether they're punished
(08:24):
or not, it all comes out. Hunter Biden's case is
proceeding a pace. We'll have an update on that on
the evening show. But first coming up, the FBI is
investigating former City of Houston Urban park ranger Joey lamar Ellis.
(08:48):
Remember the upranger. Well, there's an update on the back end. Yes,
I just put that on a Michael Barriss, So, Michael
Berry's show. FBIS Houston Division announces that they are now
launching a civil rights investigation into former City of Houston
(09:12):
urban park ranger Joey Lamar Ellis because they say he
targeted gay men at Cullen Memorial and other Houston area parks,
forcing them to quote, pay money, and or sexually assaulted
(09:38):
them in exchange for their ability to leave the park.
Nobody leaves the park till ranger Joey get some relief.
I got rent to pay and I've been locked up
(10:00):
up for two years. Which one is it? The FBI says,
employment records show that Joey Lamar Ellis quote began working
as a park ranger in twenty nineteen and could potentially
have victims spanning from twenty nineteen to the present. Ellis
(10:25):
was recently charged with felony official oppression by the Harris
County District Attorney's office. They believe there are more victims
who have not come forward due to embarrassment, fear, or shame.
Houston Police Chief Noe Dias says, Ellis quote would start soliciting,
(10:46):
engage with them that had broken some sort of law.
He'd say, a violation of a law which there wasn't
and then he would solicit money from them. He would
essentially lock people in with their vehicles, federal investigator said.
Potential victims who may have been extorted or sexually assaulted
(11:06):
by Ellis, or have information relevant to the investigation, can
fill out a form online and submit it anonymously. Ellis
faces charges of felony, official oppression and enhanced sexual assault
by the Harris County District Attorney's office. Oh my, this
(11:33):
is this is something else right here. This is this
is bad stuff. Audio of Harris County Assistant District Attorney
Kimberly Smith from last week on an ABC thirteen.
Speaker 5 (11:52):
Report told you about Joey Ellis's legal troubles. Back in June,
more victims came forward in the latest charges. Prosecutors say
one of the incidents happened here at Memorial Park and
another happened on the west side in Colham Park, and
they believe there are more victims out there. This is
(12:13):
former Urban Park ranger Joey Ellis in court today facing
a judge on charges of official oppression and sexual assault.
Prosecutors say the former ranger would be in uniform and
then target men at various Houston parks, and he will.
Speaker 6 (12:28):
Approach them and he will accuse them of being at
the park doing inappropriate things to which they are not
doing and there's no proof of and then he will
tell them either pay me money or perform oral sex
on me, or I'll have you arrested in your vehicle toad.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
ABC thirteen first brought you allegations against Ellis in June.
In that case, Josh Betty told us at the time
that Ellis made the similar demands of him.
Speaker 1 (12:50):
He knew what he was doing, though he's probably done
it before, he didn't look nervous doing it.
Speaker 5 (12:56):
Ellis's court appointed attorney today pushed back against the charges.
Speaker 3 (13:01):
He denies this wholeheartedly. Mister Ellis has no criminal history.
He appears to be a very good and respected man.
He has a very close family network, and he's denying
these allegations wholeheartedly.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
Prosecutors have also added a hate crime enhancement to the
sexual assault charge because he allegedly targeted his victims based
on their sexuality. Ellis is currently in jail, and if
he makes bond, he will have to be under house arrest.
Speaker 6 (13:26):
We're just so grateful for their bravery and their courage.
To come forward because I can't imagine. I know it
can't be easy. But because of them, he's back behind
bars where he belongs.
Speaker 5 (13:37):
If he does make bond, the judge has ruled he
can remain under house arrest with family members in Louisiana
as the case works this way through the legal system.
But the bigger point here is that this is still
an active investigation by the Houston Police. They believe there
could be more victims out there, So if you have
any information, you're urged to call authorities.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Did she say? He pushed back? So it's a hate crime,
which is a worse crime because he's targeting gay men.
How do we know that? How would he know someone
(14:21):
is gay? What's your argument there? How does he know?
You know the answer right? Because he targeted men who
were already having sex in the park, which is a
widely known phenomenon. He rolled up on men already having
(14:47):
sex in the park. He didn't just see some dude.
I'll organ if there's two dudes together in the park
and they're listening to Coldplay, you know what they're up to.
It's not really a secret. HPD Chief no IDAZ clip
(15:09):
number twenty one.
Speaker 7 (15:10):
The suspect here in this case was targeting people inside
the park.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
He wore a uniform.
Speaker 7 (15:17):
To be clear, he was not It was not a
police uniform.
Speaker 8 (15:20):
There was no badge.
Speaker 7 (15:22):
It's essentially a shirt with patches. During his time here,
he would come into the park with this vehicle and
he would essentially lock people in with their vehicles and
he'd approach them from there that he would start soliciting,
engage with them that they had broken some sort of law,
there was a violation of law, which there wasn't, and
(15:44):
then he would solicit money from them, sometimes asking the
victims to pay via pinmo or other electronic means, and
essentially robbing them above monies, threatening them to tow their vehicles,
or actually putting them in jail.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
He just wonder what patches he chose. And this looks
official enough. This and this badge I got at the
toy store. When asked for a comment about the investigation,
rump ranger Joel Joey Lamar Ellis had this to say.
Speaker 6 (16:26):
Look what the homosexuals have done to me everything.
Speaker 9 (16:30):
It was so dramatic and flamboyant.
Speaker 10 (16:32):
It just makes me want to set myself on fire.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Ramona I told you about the time I was in
a movie with Lee Majors and Tom Sizemore and Robert
Losardo from The Mule. Oh I have Okay, I couldn't remember.
I was going to tell you if you wanted to
hear about it. Well, I only say that to point
out that I have contacts in the entertainment world. I
don't want you to sell me short my Hollywood contacts.
(17:00):
I don't bring it up to be braggadocious because that's
not something I would ever do. Well these contacts know
not those individuals. Tom has left us as you know,
and Lee. I would not speak for Lee. But other
contacts I have in the entertainment world tell me that
there's a television show in the works about the Rump Ranger.
In the show, he leads a team of like minded rangers.
(17:24):
They patrol the park looking for homo activity. They don't
have a cast yet, but they do have a theme
song the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 10 (18:02):
He he.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
He Raita.
Speaker 8 (18:12):
Couta tells them either pay me money or perform oral
sex on me, or I'll have you arrested in your vehicle.
Speaker 6 (18:23):

Speaker 11 (18:25):
Well, I was throwing my job, worked in the park,
doing my job on looking for once you see the
park I Patrol's reputation for man on man fresh and

Speaker 1 (20:25):
Pop rock razor ruck frasor speaking of jacking, the murderer
of ninety year old World War Two veteran Nelson Beckett
(20:48):
during a carjacking. He was murdered, and then the turd,
while fleeing in his car, drove over him in his
own car. A ninety year old man Fort ben County
(21:08):
records show Khalil Denzel Arsenal was arrested for evading police
during a dui stop on September ninth, twenty twenty one.
So he's already driving drunk and then he flees from
the cops, which makes this an aggravated circumstance that makes
(21:29):
it far more dangerous for you and your children. The
evading arrest is far worse than the dui for which
he should have been held, should have done some time.
But now they gave him a bond. Just we'll probably
(21:50):
never have a trial, but if we do, sometime, you know,
twenty years from now, come back promise. Yeah, thank you square, Yeah,
well you seem really trustworthy. We'll take your word for
it and then he didn't come back to court and
(22:11):
the bond was revoked because the bond was an assurance
that he would show back up at court to answer
for the charges, which they weren't holding him at this
point to do. But he said I'll come back. They said,
we trust you. You seem like a good guy. Vote Democrat.
Don't forget we're the ones that let you do this. Okay,
(22:33):
I mean I do I do it.
Speaker 10 (22:34):
I do it.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
So they let him go and he doesn't show up
to court, so they revoked the bond.
Speaker 10 (22:42):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
Oh, now we got to send somebody out to get
him with a warrant bring him back. So that wastes
a lot. A lot of policing is going and getting
people who violated their bond. But they reinstated it. Yes,
(23:05):
they reinstated the bomb because they decided, you know what,
we decide you are a great guy, and it's okay
that you did all these things and that you didn't
show up to court. The story from Fox twenty six.
Speaker 13 (23:19):
Twenty one year old Khalil Orsino is charged with capital murder,
two counts of aggravated a soul, and tampering with evidence.
Please see Saturday on Westbury Parkway. He shot ninety year
old Nelson Beckett, stole his car, then ran him over
will Fleet.
Speaker 14 (23:34):
I'm very sorry his life had it in this way.
Speaker 5 (23:37):
I mean, goodness, gracious, this.
Speaker 14 (23:41):
Is not the way I pitched ending his life.
Speaker 13 (23:44):
A Navy vet, a loving father, grandfather and great grandfather,
gruesomely killed.
Speaker 14 (23:49):
From other people. I enjoyed with his tanley and enjoyed
helping people. Polisfortunate paddle glad his life, and he's always
been an inspiration coming on my life.
Speaker 13 (24:07):
The case went national fast and four days later police
got Arceenu behind bars.
Speaker 14 (24:12):
I'm very thankful that the arrist was made for Ben.
Speaker 13 (24:16):
County record show. He was arrested for evading during a
dui stop in twenty twenty one. He bonded out and
the case was reset time and again, the District Attorney's
office saying he was accepted into a diversion program in
twenty twenty three, but failed to complete it and was
removed last month. He missed a court date in June
forfeiting his bonds, but it was reinstated.
Speaker 14 (24:37):
My dance in heaven. I'm trusting that justice will take
its course.
Speaker 1 (24:43):
You're listening to the Michael Berry show Way. Why did
Another Time Soda Fountain come to our attention yesterday? What
was the basis of that? Did Chad send a story
about that? Oh no, no, Rachel sent me a story
that it was a profile that Houston Public Media credit
(25:04):
Houston Public Media had done a profile and it was
just kind of a feel good story of down in Rosenberg.
Here's this lady, Renee Butler, and in two thousand and
three her husband bought I think he bought that block
or whatever. And it looks like I haven't been down yet.
Ramon's going and I'm going to go very soon as well.
(25:26):
But it looks like kind of one of the old
town centers. I don't know if this is in the
town center, but it looks like an old town center.
It's just perfect like you'd see in Avasota or Belleville
or anywhere else. And it's on a corner. And I
guess he must be in the real estate business. And
it was her story about how she had this dream
(25:47):
come to find out Another Time Soda Fountain was once
Frank's pharmacy doctor upstairs, the pharmacists downstairs, soda jerks, phosphates, malts,
you know, the old Norman Rockwell painting, I mean, come
to life, and this woman made it her passion to
do it, and twenty one years later, here we are.
(26:07):
So I had dinner with the iHeart executives last night
and one of them is Kristin Armstrong, and I was
talking about another time. Well one of them had heard
me talking about it, and Kristin lives in Richmond, and
I said, do you ever make it to Rosenberg? Just
(26:29):
to another time? Soda Phontain And she said, all the time,
how do you know about it? And that's why I
talked to the owner today and it's a great story
and the whole thing. She said, Oh my goodness, and
everybody was spellbound. They'd heard me talking about but she'd
been there, she had all these stories to tell about
how incredible it was. So we thought we'd check in
(26:49):
with Renee Butler on how it went yesterday. Did y'all
y'all are open eleven to five? So I didn't know
if people had time. We talked about y'all late in
the show to get down there.
Speaker 10 (27:01):
People had plenty of time, and they came all day
and up until five o'clock they were coming in and
they made it a point to let me know where
they heard it from, and they had.
Speaker 9 (27:17):
I ran out of the sausage in sauerkraut almost immediately.
Everybody thought that was a great blue plate. So it was.
It was an amazing day. I don't even know how
to describe how perfect yesterday was. But thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Well, No, I'm glad you're there. But I guess I'm
confused because I don't see sausage in sauer Kraft on them.
Oh that was the That was the special yesterday.
Speaker 9 (27:44):
That was a special.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
Yes, Oh you know what I remember now. I asked
you what the special of the day was and said
that I'm looking at your menu here.
Speaker 9 (27:55):
Oh, yes, yeah, we have a different blue plate every day.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
Yeah, yeah, it was a blue plate. Yes you of
course you have to call it the broom plate. What
is the blue plate today?
Speaker 9 (28:04):
Today?
Speaker 10 (28:05):
Is meat loaf and massed potatoes, real mashed potatoes, not
box mashed potatoes.
Speaker 11 (28:11):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (28:13):
I don't know how often you check your emails. I'm
on it all day, but I got so many emails,
and I for I couldn't forward them all to you
because I'm not caught out caught up on them all.
But I've started forwarding them. You don't know if you've
been reading them. But the question I should have asked,
and this is on me, This is my mistake. I'll
take full responsibility. There were a lot of questions about
your French fries. How they're made?
Speaker 11 (28:37):
They are?
Speaker 10 (28:38):
They they're the oh my gosh, they're not fresh made. Okay,
well are my furs.
Speaker 9 (28:46):
But they're they're the higher end. They're the.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
Uh, all the times you have going on made fresh
We're gonna we're gonna cut her some slack on it.
Will you try the fries when you're there?
Speaker 9 (29:01):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (29:02):
I mean you got You've got a lot going on
for a small shop. That are that are fresh made?
Speaker 13 (29:07):
All?
Speaker 10 (29:08):
Right?
Speaker 9 (29:08):
Then?
Speaker 1 (29:08):
And then what is Friday's blue plate special? You don't know?
Speaker 13 (29:16):
No, I do know.
Speaker 9 (29:18):
We literally just changed over because.
Speaker 1 (29:20):
Every month's Saturday blue plates.
Speaker 9 (29:22):
So I haven't I haven't memorized that there's a Saturday
you only get we'll have ba.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
What's up now?
Speaker 9 (29:30):
You get it Wednesday Sundays only. I mean Saturday's the
only day we don't have it.
Speaker 10 (29:34):
On Friday, we've got baked chicken with rice, and Sunday
are pork steaks.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
The website just says, Wednesday through Friday is blue plate special.
I guess it's too complicatedesday through Friday. How come you
don't do it on Saturday because you're so busy already
or what what's the reasoning on that?
Speaker 10 (29:52):
Well, in the past, blue tights don't sell well on
a Saturday because it's a different crowd that comes in, okay,
and you are more of a burger hot dog kind
of crowd. And so because I make everything trash, we
were wasting it.
Speaker 9 (30:08):
So I pulled the Saturday.
Speaker 15 (30:10):
So the weekday crowd are more your locals, your your
business people and people that live in town, and Saturday
is more families Ramona and his family kind deal.
Speaker 9 (30:23):
Correct, Absolutely, Okay.
Speaker 1 (30:25):
That makes sense. That makes sense.
Speaker 10 (30:27):
Well good if your husband search crowd, well, it would
be my ex husband.
Speaker 9 (30:34):
Sorry, it's if you knew a relationship. You would laugh
because it's like now we're very good friends. But now
my ex husband thinks I'm crazy, but are you?
Speaker 10 (30:50):
Oh?
Speaker 9 (30:50):
Absolutely, I'm crazy. But that's okay. You you understand small business,
You got to be crazy to do.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
This, yes, you do.
Speaker 13 (30:58):
You do.
Speaker 1 (30:59):
You have to be easy to go into it, and
you have to be crazy to make it work. I
mean you really do.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (31:04):
So does he come to Another Time Soda Fountain?
Speaker 10 (31:08):
Yes, yes, he comes often, and I make sure that
I give him his usual because he'll walk in and
he used to always walk in and go, woman, where's
my supper? And so he still walks in.
Speaker 9 (31:27):
You would love him. But he walks in and that
we grabbed the bacon and he's good to go.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
So what is his ual? Ever?
Speaker 9 (31:42):
He normally gets a bluepip? Oh, okay, because you know
it's a homemade meal. That's the thing. It's it's just
it's the way I was raised. So all the blue
pips are the way.
Speaker 1 (31:53):
I comfort him.
Speaker 9 (31:54):
So I know he comfort face.
Speaker 1 (31:56):
I said yesterday, I believe that you were an accountant
and then you retired. When you open this, did you
make supper every night for the family? Was that a
thing you did?
Speaker 6 (32:07):
Oh?
