Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time time time, luck and load. The Michael
Arry Show is.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
On the air, looking into Mica.

Speaker 1 (00:21):
We gotta feed a bead.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
I don't plan to shave, and it's good the thing,
but I just gotta see I'm.

Speaker 4 (00:31):
Doing all right.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
Will we got make me supports.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
I'm beating rid of doune and that's the truth.

Speaker 3 (00:41):
It's neither drinking, no drug induce noo.

Speaker 5 (00:44):
I'm just doing all right.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
It's a great odd times. I'll tell you things we
once trusted we can't. We're forced to confront thoughts for
your suspicions, doubts about things that we never thought we
would not in America. So that makes the biggest story

(01:12):
of the weekend a bit of an anomaly. The story
broke Riverside County, California. Sheriff Chad Bianco said they had
prevented a third assassination attempt. President Trump had a rally
in Coachella Valley on Saturday. A man was arrested named

(01:36):
Vim Miller, and he had some fake VIP badges. I
don't know what he had done. There are several different versions,
so I don't want to claim one is true or
isn't that brought him to the attention of.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
Law enforcement. He did have loaded guns in his vehicle.
A lot of people do.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
But it's also the case that we've had assassination attempts
on the president. So there is evidence if this guy
had written that he's going to kill the president, or
if he had in any way intimated that that was
his intention, that you could say, well, obviously, that's what
that is. And then there is the fact that this

(02:28):
man has exposed some deep state details and would appear
to be on the radar of folks who want to
silence him, and maybe this was their opportunity. Was the
local sheriff's department involved in it?

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Probably less likely.

Speaker 6 (02:49):
But.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
I'm not willing to believe anything. I'm willing to question
anything nowadays. So what looked immediately like a open and
show thwarted assassination attempt gets far more complicated considering this
man in his history and his love of Trump. There's

(03:12):
a lot of other details that we won't get into today,
but at the time, here was the Riverside Sheriff, Chad
Bianco after he was questioned. Now, add one other detail
to this, them Miller, the man who was arrested. He
has a lot of photos with prominent figures in Trump world.

(03:37):
He was very close to the president in proximity when
all this happened. Again, I'm not certain as to what
supposedly brought him to the attention of law enforcement, because
you don't just grab somebody and arrest him. And then
he was released on a five thousand dollar bond, which

(03:57):
means for five hundred dollars they him out. If you
truly still believed this man was trying to kill the president,
even in California, that's odd. Of course it is Trump,
so maybe they'll pay him, but the whole thing just
doesn't add up at this point. Here is that Riverside

(04:20):
County Sheriff Chad Bianco.

Speaker 6 (04:22):
The presence that we had at the rally with deputies
with snipers, with counter snipers and Secret Service snipers and
counter snipers. I am glad that we're not talking about
this after we shot him. We get to talk about
it before, and no matter what, it's all going to

(04:44):
be speculation about what his intentions were getting there. What
we do know is he showed up with multiple passports
with different names, an unregistered vehicle with fake license plate,
and loaded firearms. I I if you're asking me right now,

(05:04):
I probably did have deputies that prevented the third assassination attempt.
If we are that politically lost, that we have lost
sight of common sense and reality and reason that we
can't say that, holy crap, what did he show up

(05:24):
with all of that stuff for and loaded guns? And
we're going to and we're and I'm going to be
accused of being dramatic. We have a serious, serious problem
in this country because this is common sense and reason.
I saw some of you there yesterday. You didn't have
guns and fake id's. I don't know. I don't know
how else to explain it.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
I suppose we'll learn more about the story and time,
or maybe we won't and that will end up being
the story. The reason we don't trust anyone is because
of stories like this one. The Afghan man that the
Biden Harris regime brought to the United States was arrested

(06:08):
last week for plotting an ISIS inspired Election Day terror
attack in Oklahoma in this country. Turns out he worked
for the CIA. Here is the Affirmative Action Press secretary.

Speaker 7 (06:23):
He was a security guard as CIA before he came
to the US.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
The past two rounds of vetting, does the administration believe
there was adequate betting.

Speaker 8 (06:32):
So what I can say is I cannot comment on
this directly because it is an active investigation. As you
know that the Department of Justice is currently moving forward
with so very really careful. What I can say is
every Afghan national who entered the US was screened and
vetted by intelligence, law enforcement, counter terrorism professionals. And with

(06:55):
every new information that emerges that an individual, that individual's
posal threat to public safety, we take immediate action, and
we take that action. And so going to be not
going to speak to this particular case, but I can
speak more broadly, and that's the actions that we normally take.
That's how we move forward. And the President has always
been clear protecting the American people will always be, always

(07:18):
be his top priority.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
Broadly, What would you say to critics who say there isn't.

Speaker 1 (07:23):
A a fetting in these cases?

Speaker 8 (07:25):
What I can say is how I just ended my
last question to you, Protecting the American people is the
president's top priority.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
Meanwhile, protecting the American people is the president's top priority.
Martha raddits one of the old battle axes of the

(07:53):
left wing media.

Speaker 1 (07:55):
I think she's CBS. It doesn't matter. Maybe it's ABC.
It all runs together. Was interviewing JD. Vance and he stopped,
or we'll play the audio later in the show, and
he said, do you hear yourself?

Speaker 3 (08:10):
You're saying it's only a handful of apartment complexes that
this Venezuelan sophisticated gang has taken over, only a handful.
Trend Dee Ragua, what if it was your apartment complex
you lived in. This president's in Kamala Harris. They're not

(08:32):
trying to protect anyone, and that's just it. I see
these ads running that say Donald Trump is rich and
we're gonna make him pay more taxes, and I think, gosh,
does that actually work Pole's show, It doesn't. Trump has
taken a lead in every battleground state and is really

(08:54):
outperforming anyone's expectation.

Speaker 9 (08:56):
I'm thinking they could actually live the American truth.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
The Michael Berry Show.

Speaker 5 (09:00):
Look at that dude.

Speaker 10 (09:02):
Like, my wife told me that she had had enough
of my She packed me a bag, told me she
wanted me to leave and never come back. As I
was walking out the door, she said, I hope you
die a long, miserable, painful death. And I said, so,
now you want me to stay.

Speaker 11 (09:18):
Then standing back to bed, or walk on by.

Speaker 5 (09:25):
She's got the peace.

Speaker 10 (09:28):
You know why I pulled you over because I'm black?

Speaker 3 (09:31):
Yeah, no, No, your wife stole out of the car
about a mile back.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
It was so quiet.

Speaker 10 (09:47):
She's probably somebody.

Speaker 3 (09:54):
Talking with her, friendly, she thought her.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
If you remember the old spaghetti warehouse.

Speaker 3 (10:05):
Downtown, that end of downtown kind of the founding of
Houston where the Allen brothers landed, Allen's Landing, it's known
as Allen's Landing. Oh, that's not where they landed. The
residents around the Allen's Landing area in downtown Houston are

(10:27):
growing tired of poop along the walking paths there.

Speaker 1 (10:33):
They believe it might be a homeless encampment nearby.

Speaker 12 (10:38):
You think the people who live, work, and play around
here often have a mess to get around and there's
no clear solution. Downtown Houston has so much to offer,
That's why Dominic Garcia moved here. But around the corner
near Maine and Commerce is a homeless encampment and has
neighbors frustrated with suspected human fecal matter literally the trails

(11:01):
and smears the walls.

Speaker 7 (11:02):
I think that Houston is doing a good job with
the cleaning and the meanings. I mean, I just think
they can't keep up.

Speaker 12 (11:07):
Garcia has been living here for a year and doesn't
know what to do. He's been trying to document it all,
hoping it'll lead to change, while understanding options are limited
for people living on the street.

Speaker 7 (11:19):
It seems like there's nowhere or there's nowhere for these
people to go, or perhaps they haven't provided a place
for them to go, so they're just using the streets
and the public places.

Speaker 12 (11:28):
Alvin Gaston lives here under this shade tree most days
because it's comfortable and he feels safe.

Speaker 11 (11:34):
I was once over there, but it's too many people
over there, it's crowd and then then it gets into
kind of a bad I'm too over that way.

Speaker 12 (11:46):
He's been here about four months, not too far away
from a larger nearby encampment the neighbors are frustrated with.
Alvin says he tries to make the one mile walk
to the public library to use the restroom or uses
a when desperate. He says there are portable toilets available, sometimes.

Speaker 11 (12:05):
They're not over this week, but they does bring them back.

Speaker 12 (12:10):
He too says it would be great to see a
more permanent public restroom facility nearby, and while cleanup crews
clear the waste from sidewalks monthly. Much like Garcia, he
agrees that's not enough.

Speaker 7 (12:22):
Because I think everybody here is very kind hearted and
they care about these people. But at the same time,
it's a balance between the human waste, the trash, and
the violence.

Speaker 3 (12:32):
In the mid nineties, they started trying to bring residents
back into downtown. When Bob Laniir was elected in November
of ninety one, beating Sylvester Turner in a runoff, one
of Lanier's Lanier's goal was to bring downtown back. The

(12:55):
first thing was to get Continental to renew their content,
Airlines to reknew their least downtown. They were the largest
downtown tenant at the time. It was a massive deal.
So what happened, what was happening with downtown areas across
the country, the blight, the white flight out of the downtown.

Speaker 1 (13:21):
People.

Speaker 3 (13:21):
This was really pre you know, the cell phone becoming
basically a self sustaining unit changed everything. Technology changed the
need to have this hub of activity in a downtown.
We hadn't reached that yet, but what we had reached

(13:43):
across the country was that the white liberals within the
city limits. Across the country had ruined those cities, and
this is what happens. You look at San Francisco, a
once great city, You look at New York. It's happened
across the country, and they don't want to deal with crime.
They view criminals as somehow lost souls that need to

(14:06):
be coddled. Your homeless population explodes because nobody wants to
move them out.

Speaker 1 (14:14):
Everybody wants to let them run around naked and.

Speaker 3 (14:17):
Drugged up, raping each other and bothering people and creating mayhem.
And people grow tired of entering into the downtown and
having to.

Speaker 1 (14:29):
Deal with this all day every day.

Speaker 3 (14:31):
And for those often secretaries or cleaning crews or different
people who were stuck downtown at night, it's you versus them,
and you're outnumbered.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
A lot of those folks, because of the.

Speaker 3 (14:46):
Parking being scarce and therefore expensive, have to take public transportation,
which means there's a long wait in between.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
It creates a nightmare. It's awful, so it's hard to
get people to.

Speaker 3 (14:56):
Work down there. So Lanier tried to bring the downtown back.
He did it with the Continental Airlines deal by helping
encourage Bethune Gordon Bethune to renew that lease and bring
those employees back into downtown. The next was with what

(15:17):
was at the time called in run Field the baseball park.
A few years into this and Michael Stevens, his guy
that was really worked at pointing this deal brought the
old Rice lofts back to their grandeur and with with

(15:38):
a deal with Randall.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
Davis.

Speaker 3 (15:44):
So the hotel where John F. Kennedy had stayed the
night before he heads to Dallas to be assassinated was
restored and people started moving back into there, and that
brought some retail. It was a little grocery store down there,
and there were for a few years there was some momentum.
There were these various lofts that were these old buildings

(16:10):
down there, and there were a lot of incentives for
developers to renovate these lofts, and people wanted to be
in downtown.

Speaker 1 (16:18):
Oh, it's gonna be great in downtown. There was a
cachet to that.

Speaker 3 (16:24):
But then the thing that I think killed the momentum
was the light rail. We had to have light rail,
and there were various reasons that people were for light rail.
Some people had a financial interest, some people had been
to New York and they had ridden on the subway
and they hadn't been mugged.

Speaker 1 (16:45):
So they thought light rail was going to be great.
But what lightrail did is it.

Speaker 3 (16:50):
Tore up the streets downtown and that kept people from
coming down. That made it difficult to get downtown, and that.

Speaker 1 (16:57):
Killed the retail.

Speaker 3 (17:00):
Adrian's CANTEENA had a sign as they went out of business.
It said, you know whatever, it was forty years in business.
Now we're done. Thanks Metro, St Pete's Dance and Marlin.
There were lots of retail and fun places to go
that were killed by that. But now what you're left
with is they're making promises to people. You come downtown,

(17:23):
you want this downtown living, And what it is is
twenty year olds who are either new to Houston, you
got this new job, and they want to live in downtown.

Speaker 1 (17:31):
He's gonna be edgy, it's gonna be cool.

Speaker 3 (17:34):
And you get down there and what you find out
is it's a war zone. Have a friend who lives
down there and they're a married couple and they live
in a nice place down there, and she works at
a law firm across the street. But they're constantly sending
me photos of the things they see.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
Walk outside.

Speaker 3 (17:51):
The other day, there's a dead body in the middle
of the street and the cops have the street cordoned
off and they're getting the dead body out of the street.
It looks like, you know, sort of a vagrant type person,
and it's unpleasant. So imagine this that she said that
street cleaning crews who come once a month. Okay, well,

(18:11):
I hope he doesn't poop the day after they come,
because you got twenty nine days of poop on the front.
Joe Biden became mentally impaired with the Michael Perrys.

Speaker 5 (18:21):
Tamala was born that way.

Speaker 3 (18:25):
What governmental entity in the Greater Houston area is not
raising taxes? You know why they're raising taxes right now
because they got lawyers. There are lawyers who advise governmental
entities on things like this, and they go, hey, you

(18:51):
can raise taxes right now without having to get the
public to approve it.

Speaker 1 (18:55):
You won't have to go to any town hall meetings.
You won't have those annoyed.

Speaker 3 (19:02):
Tom Bazon type people, the taxpayer advocate type people. Bob
showed all these people out there who Marissa Hanson, all
these people who demand that you be accountable for taxpayer dollars,
they won't be able to do a damn thing about it.

Speaker 1 (19:24):
You can just raise taxes, but you've got to.

Speaker 3 (19:26):
Do it right now, because our legislature and their infinite
wisdom said after a disaster, you can immediately raise taxes
without the taxpayers being able to pay for it. Now,
let me ask you this. So we're hearing from our

(19:48):
Republican elected officials. They're going to go back and they're going.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
To close the loop on this, close this loophole. Why
you need to give governmental entities.

Speaker 3 (20:05):
The authority to raise taxes without the approval of the
people who have to.

Speaker 1 (20:11):
Pay them because of a storm.

Speaker 3 (20:15):
Well it's a storm, Michael, that is trying to help them.
Well don't you think that after a storm, the people
would approve a tax increase on themselves if they believed
they needed it. It's the people's money, not the governing

(20:40):
entities money. The people believed they needed it because it
was important, they would rush down to vote for it.
The Scifaire ISD board has approved a tax hike thanks
to this loophole. They're going to raise an additional thirty
four million dollars from the people. Now, Remember they're doing

(21:05):
this on the basis that we just had a disaster,
natural disaster that was Beryl.

Speaker 1 (21:12):
So hey, folks, I know you were hit hard by
the storm. So we're gonna.

Speaker 3 (21:20):
We're gonna raise your taxes. The superintendent, Douglas Killian, said
the tax rate would save the district from facing more
cuts for next school year, but teachers in the district
have joined with parents in pointing out remember the Willie Wonka,

(21:45):
the themed back to school event you held with a
thirty thousand dollars keynote speaker. The previous superintendent retired last year.
He had a base out ar of five hundred and
thirty eight thousand dollars, phone and travel allowances totaling twenty

(22:06):
four thousand dollars, making him the highest paid superintendent in
the state of Texas.

Speaker 1 (22:18):
How is it that sifa.

Speaker 3 (22:20):
ISD pays their superintendent paid their last superintendent more than
any superintendent in the entire state. Must be really, really good.
What do you do that was so great? Remember Cifare
ISD caught our attention because they were the ones cutting
the bus routes. They were the ones cutting the I

(22:43):
can't get my.

Speaker 1 (22:44):
Mic set right, remar, I'm gonna mess with this.

Speaker 3 (22:48):
Today's program might be slightly a little off kilter till I.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
Get my microphone set. There we go.

Speaker 3 (22:56):
If you're wondering, I have a microphone that's on a
long pole and it hangs on a cage, and in
an ideal world, I have my hands free underneath because
I print everything out like I'm eighty, and I like
to have things in front of me, So I don't
do a microphone on a stand in front of me.

Speaker 1 (23:16):
It hangs down in that way. I have all this
space over here. Is that more than you think people
wanted to know?

Speaker 3 (23:25):
But now we've seen now City of Houston's raising taxes,
Harris County's raising taxes, Montgomery County's raising taxes. Oh but
don't you worry. The same representatives and senators who wrote
the exemption are now I'm going back to Austin and

(23:46):
I'm gonna fix it.

Speaker 1 (23:50):
Seriously, you created it. If you're going to raise taxes,
you got to get our approval. We pay the taxes.

Speaker 3 (24:00):
You gave them the ability to get away from doing that,
and guess what, you never guess they abused it. We're
gonna let the governmental entity point a cannon at their
opponents roll it up there, load it up and have

(24:24):
it ready to go, but they can only fire it
on Saturdays. They just blasted all their opponents.

Speaker 1 (24:32):
Ah, we're gonna write losses.

Speaker 3 (24:34):
They can't do that, but you just allowed them to
do it. It's almost as if you think we're stupid.
So here we go the entire region governmental entities raising taxes,
and how do they do it? Si Fair says, well,
we don't want to have any more cutbacks. How about

(24:57):
the superintendent come on this show, we go through every
line adam of his budget.

Speaker 1 (25:01):
He can't do it. I guarantee you can't do it.
Just travel alone would scare you.

Speaker 6 (25:07):
Daughter.

Speaker 9 (25:08):
You previously opposed an assault weapons ban, but it only
later in your political career did you change your position.

Speaker 3 (25:13):
Wide the Michael Barry shall become friends with school shooters.
Early voting begins one week from today. Election day is
twenty two days away, and hopefully we'll be playing this song.
But that's not why we're celebrating right now. We're celebrating

(25:37):
a Ramone Roblist family accomplishment achievement. Here is the text
exchange between him and his wife Amy, Amy to Ramone,
I just got a note from July's teacher.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
You ready for this. It's about him being rewarded with
a coke at lunch.

Speaker 3 (26:00):
Mister Lopez quote, July got the top score in all
of third grade. That's in all caps, in all of
third grade, getting one hundred percent on his twenty question test.
Can he have a coke or sprite at lunch? Amy's
Ramone's response, Oh my god. And then some kind of emoji.

(26:23):
But I can't ever see what the emoji is doing.
And you can't explode emojis.

Speaker 1 (26:28):
You know that you can't. You can't expand them mount
so it looks like.

Speaker 3 (26:31):
The emoji's shocked. Or it was like that moment where
Forrest Gump asked Jenny, did.

Speaker 6 (26:36):
He like me?

Speaker 1 (26:38):
And she goes, no, No, for us, he's normal.

Speaker 3 (26:41):
You could tell Ramona's thinking, oh god, he got your jeans, Amy,
because Amy's brilliant.

Speaker 1 (26:46):
So she says we need to reward him. That is huge.

Speaker 3 (26:52):
Our boys are so amazing, and Ramone sits back, Yes
they are.

Speaker 1 (26:57):
Indeed they are. That's remon, that's a big deal in
all of third grade. He goes to a big public.

Speaker 3 (27:03):
School, he said, yeah, and there's some Asian kids in
that class. That's something you beat out the Asian kids.
That's I mean, hope, I hope you're happy because those
kids are.

Speaker 1 (27:18):
Gonna go home and be beaten and start.

Speaker 3 (27:22):
But you know, I mean, as long as July got
his coke at lunch, it's always the spelling bee. Oh
there's some Indian mom out there that's gonna find out
from me telling this.

Speaker 5 (27:38):
Bitter why I didn't tell me you having accam? Now
you're losing to Mexican that too, What does happened? I
did not come to this country for you to come
in second place. Definitely not the Mexican. She is not
happy right now, that poor kid.

Speaker 3 (27:54):
You have no idea. You have no idea how hard
it's gonna be. Asian kids don't come out first in
the class by luck or they were born with brain power.
They study and study and study and study. Repetition, repetition, repetition.

(28:14):
But a congratulations to July Augustus Roblis for this great honor,
one of many. What do you get when you cross
a polar bear with a seal?

Speaker 1 (28:27):
A polar bear? A buddy of mine has a dog
named Rolex. I said, how'd you name him? He's my watchdog.

Speaker 3 (28:45):
Texas DPS arrests members of the Trende Ragua gang from
Venezuela who were trying to recruit middle school students in
the Sharpstown area for a shoplifting ring. The station locally
that has owned the crime beat more than any up

(29:07):
till now is Fox twenty six and that continues here.

Speaker 9 (29:11):
A lot of things have happened, you know that you
hear about on the news, So if it's happening elsewhere,
it might also be happening in our neighborhood as well,
and we're just not aware of it.

Speaker 8 (29:20):
I think it's really bad for the neighborhood and for
the community, and I think the police department of the authorities,
they need to do something with it before we get
into the really bad situation.

Speaker 4 (29:30):
This is Johannes's Robinson Goba. He's thirty two years old
and he's from Venezuela. He entered the country illegally two
years ago, and on Monday he was arrested by Texas
DPS and is suspected of recruiting middle school students both
at Las Americas and Jane Long Academy, both with Houston
hesde Well.

Speaker 9 (29:48):
I think that's very dangerous thing to do, and I
think the parents should be made aware of.

Speaker 4 (29:52):
It today that I was a transnational criminal organization from Venezuela.
Their members have been hard to identify, However, in recent
way weeks, arrests have been made in Houston, San Antonio, Alpasso, Colorado,
and New York.

Speaker 2 (30:06):
Are immigrants, They are innocent.

Speaker 13 (30:10):
We're from Central America and we pay the price for
the bad actions of other immigrants. I hope one day
the authorities can put a stop to it. All Hispanics,
we pay the price for everything. They treat us like delinquents,
like we're bad people, and unfortunately it's because our own
people give us a bad reputation.

Speaker 1 (30:36):
Well you ever notice.

Speaker 3 (30:43):
That when something happens in this country, a Muslim terrorist,
Venezuelan gang member, we immediately hear from other people from
that group. Well, this is not fair to them? Is
it ever not fair to us the Americans? Does anbody

(31:07):
ever give a damn about the fact that our country
is being overrun with terrorists and criminals and thugs and
rapists and pedophiles. Nobody ever says, hey, does this make
you mad? If a Muslim terrorist blows something up? We're
immediately told immediately told, ah, this is not fair to Muslims. Well,

(31:38):
how about the people it's not fair to who are
victims as well?

Speaker 1 (31:42):
Us.

Speaker 3 (31:46):
Norm MacDonald had a great comedy bit, except it was
disguised as reality. He told a story to Margaret Chow,
