Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's that time, time, time, time, Luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Michael Verie Show is on the air. Happy by, Do
you want to build a storm up?
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Say? Is it getting cold around here?
Speaker 2 (00:21):
I'm shaking so damn much. I feel like I'm dense.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
I can't feel my fig fingers anymore. Light, there's there's numb.
Maybe you should wear these extra gloves.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
My hands trying to get sweaty.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Extra gloves.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
You've had this pair of extra gloves, this whole type, Yeah,
wearing the rockies.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Are you cold, Karen? You wouldn't be sneezing if you
weren't cold. Wos just.
Speaker 5 (00:56):
Aol?
Speaker 6 (00:56):
The wear that outside is fightful, but the fire is
so delightful.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
And since we've no place to go, let it snow.
Let it snow.
Speaker 7 (01:08):
Let it stark man, it doesn't show signs is stubborn.
And I've brought me some called for probing.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
The lights turned away, down load, Let it.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Snow, Let it s loong.
Speaker 8 (01:24):
When we finally kissed good night, and how I'll keep
going out in the storm.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
But if you.
Speaker 7 (01:31):
Really hold me tired all the way home all they
want and the fire is slow and dying, and my dear,
we're still goodbye.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
What a crazy day.
Speaker 8 (01:45):
Yes, we are alive, as I promise you we would
be all barring something crazy or Lord calling us home.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
We will be here all week with you live. And
I got it.
Speaker 8 (02:00):
I tell you, it is one of the oddest days
to do radio. What an embarrassment of riches.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
We have.
Speaker 8 (02:11):
The most incredible day yesterday out of President Trump, fifteen
hundred January sixth political prisoners pardoned. It's like about six
will have their sentences commuted, but about fifteen hundred pardoned.
You have one of the most amazing days in American
(02:31):
history all in one day. And I am going to
focus primarily on that. But I would be remiss if
I did not point out that we are having a
generational snow outside right now. And if you haven't peeked
out already and you're in the Greater Houston area, check
(02:54):
it out because it's a treat.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Emily came over this morning.
Speaker 8 (03:00):
Obviously, her daughter Hudson, doesn't have school, so Emily came
over after they had been outside playing in the snow.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
She came in and said, ramone's out in the snow
as well.
Speaker 8 (03:10):
Once we got the show prepared, all the systems working
and we can do the show. There's no problem with content.
Our biggest challenge at a time like this is are
the generators operating properly? Is everything work? Are the communications
systems working correctly? And once all that was done, Ramone
had to go out and play in the snow himself.
(03:33):
It is a glorious, wonderful time. And if you are
snug as a bug, as my mother used to say,
under the covers listening to us, and we are honored
to be there with you, I do ask that you
check in on the Widow Jones next door, because in
addition to being scared at a time like this that
(03:53):
the systems will fail, there is a sense of loneliness particularly,
and the world seems to shut down and close in
and to be the four walls within which you live
your life. So if there's a old fellow down the road,
or Wida Jones next door, or single mom or anyone
(04:16):
else that you can check in on and just make
sure that they're okay. Today's one of those days that
that goes a very very long way, and for the kids,
what a glorious time. I remember, you know, we have
listeners far beyond the greater Houston area and they won't
understand this, But snow in Houston, I don't care how
(04:38):
many times you've seen snow in how many other places,
and a whole lot more of it, and piled high
enough that you can ski in, enough that you can
snowmobile in, enough that it's a postcard for us to
see snow in Houston and our regular environ is a
special thing. Indeed, when I was a kid, we I
(05:00):
would hope for it, and every year they would tease
us this.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Might be the year.
Speaker 8 (05:05):
And honestly, I don't remember having as much snow as
I see outside our window right now as a kid
growing up in Orange, and crazy as this would be.
My dad is now the little old man down the street.
Of course, we have caretakers there with him, and my
wife just got off the phone with him and he's fine,
(05:25):
and we've got a generator and everything is taken care of.
But Orange in Lake Charles is under a blizzard warning.
A blizzard warning in southeast Texas and southwest Louisiana I
never ever would have imagined, but it is happening.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
We will have some comments on the weather.
Speaker 8 (05:46):
Because it's a special time and I don't want our
news department got in early. They went live early. I
think they were scheduled to be on since Ford, you
know if they were. Yeah, So it is all hands
on deck at KTRH, which is our flagship station, the
news team at a time like this, they come in
the night before, they sleep on sleeping bags in the hallways.
(06:10):
They're living off you know, vending machine food. They are
they are committed. But look, this is go time for them.
This is they're prepared for this. This is what they do,
this is what they love to do. They're good at it.
Everybody's tuned in. At a time like this, People that
may not always listen to KTRH switch over to KTRH
to get their.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Weather and updates.
Speaker 8 (06:30):
And those guys as always rise to the occasion, and
we appreciate that. Many many happy times or happy memories,
I would say, because the time they may not be
happy times. Ramona and I have. Of course, he's been
at this for a lot longer than I have, so
he has a lot more years of doing that. Now,
I want to talk about President Trump and yesterday and
(06:52):
how special yesterday was.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
It.
Speaker 8 (07:00):
It is hard to put into words exactly what he
did the scope of what he did. We have a
new Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, President Trump's day or
a seventy eight year old man to do what he did.
The joy You know, late last night that January sixth,
(07:24):
theres that are in prison were being released.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Some of them are at home and they're being.
Speaker 8 (07:31):
They're being pardoned so that will clear their record. Some
of them were getting out of prison last night. And
what a glorious, wonderful thing it was to behold and
see those guys, a lot of them military veterans. They're
families waiting to see them. That was just one of
so many things that were done yesterday. The Executive orders
(07:55):
a ninety minute press conference, the swearing in and everything
that go with the pomp and circumstance, and you're under
the microscope, the cameras on you and your family the
entire day, and that seventy eight year old man will
still going.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Late at night, I.
Speaker 8 (08:11):
Was laying on the couch watching him swing his sword
Mike Leech style.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Wow, this is going to be a fun ride.
Speaker 7 (08:20):
One places so.
Speaker 8 (08:21):
Crazy, so totally we go that everybody has a party
to Michael Berry shoe.
Speaker 6 (08:31):
The Golden Age of America begins right now from this
day forward. Our country will flourish and be respected.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Again all over the world. We will be the envy
of every.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
Nation, and we will not allow ourselves to be taken
advantage of any longer.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
During every single day of.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
The Trump administration, I will very simply put America first.
Our sovereignty will be reclaimed, our safety will be restored,
the scales of justice.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Will be rebalanced.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
The vicious, violent, and unfair weaponization of the Justice Department
and our government will.
Speaker 9 (09:12):
End, and our top priority will be to create a
nation that is proud, prosperous, and free.
Speaker 6 (09:36):
America will soon be greater, stronger, and far more exceptional
than ever before.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Our return to.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
The presidency confidence and optimistic that we are at the
start of a thrilling new era of national success. A
tide of change is sweeping the country. Sunlight is pouring
over the entire world, and America has the chance to
seize this opportunity like never before. From this moment on,
America's decline is over, and we will immediately restore the integrity, competency,
(10:11):
and loyalty.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Of America's government.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
Over the past eight years, I have been tested and
challenged more than any president. In our two hundred and
fifty year history, and I've learned a lot along the way.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
The journey to.
Speaker 6 (10:24):
Reclaim our republic has not been an easy one, that
I can tell you. Those who wish to stop our
cause have tried to take my freedom, and indeed to
take my life just a few months ago in a
beautiful Pennsylvania field and assassin's bullet ripped through my ear.
(10:45):
But I felt then, and believe even more so now,
that my life was saved for a reason. I was
saved by God to make America great again.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Literally as this quad.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
JD.
Speaker 8 (11:09):
Vance is swearing in Marco Rubio as Secretary of State.
Just a few days ago, Marco Rubio was a senator
in Florida from Florida, and JD. Vance a Senator from Ohio.
(11:30):
And in a matter of days they have ascended to
be now the Secretary of State as of this very moment,
and the Vice President of the United States, both of
them in the line of succession to be president, should
God forbid something happen, both of them in powerful positions
(11:50):
to affect the direction of this country. Not that a
senator isn't, but my goodness, secretary of State and Vice President,
let's start with some of the things the President did.
The President did yesterday. This one has not received enough attention,
so I've moved it to the top of the list.
President Trump says he will reinstate any service members dismissed
from the military for their refusal to get the clock shot,
(12:15):
and he will do so with back pay. He will,
as much as can be done financially make them whole.
Speaker 6 (12:23):
This week, I will reinstate any service members who were
unjustly expelled from our military for objecting to the COVID
vaccine mandate.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
With full back pay.
Speaker 6 (12:44):
And I will sign in order to stop our warriors
from being subjected to radical political theories and social experiments
while on duty.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
It's going to end immediately.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
How our armed.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
Forces will be free to focus on their soul mission
defeating America's enemies.
Speaker 8 (13:09):
We will never forget what they did to us, the
lies that were told, Joe Biden saying, looking into the camera,
to tell the nation, as the president of the United States,
if you get the clock shot, you will not contract COVID,
nor can you spread COVID, both of which were lies.
But you can die from it. And many people, including
(13:33):
many young people did. Hell Mary Tally Boden is still
under the gun from the Texas Medical Board for treating
patients with ivermectin, for saving people's lives, for healing people.
But they have to destroy her because she dared speak out. Well,
(13:58):
they poked the wrong bear there, because in the process
of going after her, they can't find a single doctor
who will speak out against her and say that what
she's done was in any way harmful to patients. They
can't find a single one. But there are lots of
her patients whose lives were saved, people who she took
care of in the middle of the night because they
(14:19):
couldn't get ivermacked in anywhere else.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Remember they told us.
Speaker 8 (14:21):
It was horse paced won the Nobel Prize for the
man who found who created it. And now they're back
to say and just like Hunter Biden's laptop, Yeah, maybe
that wasn't true what we told you at that time.
She also exposed the fact that the medical director of
the Texas Medical Board, this fact had been hidden, is
the head of was the medical director for Planned Parenthood.
(14:43):
How does Greg Abbott let that happen in that state agency?
So what do you think might happen to a doctor
who speaks out against abortion in the.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
State of Texas. I think the Texas.
Speaker 8 (14:53):
Medical Board might look unkindly upon you, and you wouldn't
even know that it's the abortionists who were behind that,
because their top person is actually running the Texas Medical Board.
Oh what a tangle web we weave when first we
practiced to deceive. That's on Greg Abbott, by the way.
It was a great day yesterday. President Trump just out
did himself. We're going to go through it coming up
(15:14):
from Ferry and the triple Crown weave is you know
Tilton to the side the leaning tower of Weaver. Missouria
County Sheriff's Deputy Hayesus Vargas Jesse.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
I'm told he went by. I did not know him,
was laid to rest yesterday.
Speaker 8 (15:32):
Monday's proceedings started with a two hour public viewing at
the Alvin Church. It was a public viewing Sunday night
at Grace Church in southeast Houston. The Bressoria County Sheriff's
Office said in a statement today we laid to rest
one of our own, deputy, Heyesus Jesse Vargas, who was
taken from us far too soon. Deputy Vargus dedicated seventeen
(15:55):
years to serving and protecting the community.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
He loved.
Speaker 8 (15:59):
His sacrifices reminder of the risks our deputies face every
day in order to keep others safe. Deputy Vargus was
not only dedicated public service, but also have a loved husband, father,
and friend. His loss has left a void in our
agency that cannot be filled. As we come together to
honor his life and legacy, we asked that you keep
(16:20):
his wife, daughters, and loved ones in your thoughts and prayers.
Rest in peace, Deputy of Argus, You will never be forgotten.
Bargus worked in law enforcement with the Sheriff's Office for
seventeen years. He also spent roughly the past two years
on the US Marshall's Violent Offenders Task Force, and it
was in that capacity that he was murdered. They were
(16:44):
serving a warrant on a turd who had a record
a mile long clip number six romon on Friday. We
failed to report Rocky, the canine with him, who ended
up tracking down the bad guy in the dumpster and
was shot twice by that turd was released by Westbury
(17:08):
Animal Hospital and sent home.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
The US Marshall canine who was shot twice by a
wanted killer. Is now out of the hospital. Look at that, Rocky,
an eighteen month old Belgian MALINOI was only on the
job for six months when when he hunted down the suspect.
We told you about Wednesday, that suspect shot and killed
Brassori County Sheriff's deputy. Heyesus Vargas. After surgery in two
(17:32):
days in the hospital, Rocky now back with his handler.
I know the handler is excited. We're told he's expected
to make a full recovery and return to work in
the near future.
Speaker 8 (17:47):
One of the executive orders that President Trump signed yesterday
an executive order clarifying birthright citizenship. This is anchor baby stuff.
It has been said for decades that this is terrible.
We should do something about it. Nobody would he did.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
This next order relates to the definition of birth right
citizenship under the fourteenth Demendment of the United States.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
And it's a good one. Birth right. That's a big one.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
What about that one I have for it?
Speaker 6 (18:18):
That one could be Do you think we have good grounds?
But you could be right, and you'll find out it's ridiculous.
We're the only country in the world that does this
with birthright, as.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
You know, and it's just absolutely ridiculous. But you know,
we'll see, we think it.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
We have a very good und He's serious. This is how
you do it.
Speaker 8 (18:44):
Within hours of taking the oath, Trump administration officials sut
down the Customs and Border Patrol one app. It's called
for illegal aliens. As Fox has built illusion reports, this
is what Biden quote use to essentially waive a magic
wand and allow nine hundred thousand plus otherwise inadmissible migrants
(19:06):
into the US via mass blanket humanitarian parole. Of course,
some media will run sob stories about poor illegals trying
to get into the US, but we're not buying it.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
The story from CBS San Diego, this.
Speaker 10 (19:21):
App has helped nearly a million people cross into the
US legally, but the shutdown will affect thousands of migrants
trying to cross through the San Diego border, and the
news has left some in tears. Migrants at the border
breaking down seeing their appointments canceled. Minutes after President Trump
(19:42):
was sworn into office, this Colombian migrant saying, may President
Trump have compassion and let us cross after six months
of suffering. Her appointment was set for the same day
the app went dark. Every day up to one thousand, thousand,
four hundred and fifty migrants would line up at eight
(20:03):
border crossings waiting for their appointment to legally cross into
the US on immigration parole. The appointments were made through
the Customs and Border Protection one app. Most migrants would
wait months to get on the list. But as of
midday Monday, no more appointments will be scheduled and tens
of thousands of existing ones have been canceled.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
I predict that more people will be injured and likely
will lose their lives as a result of this.
Speaker 10 (20:29):
Pedro Rios with the American Friends Service Committee says the
CBP one app was the only way to get an
appointment to legally cross the border.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
Customs and Border Protection has worked with its Mexican counterparts
to not permit people to arrive at a port of
entry and seek asylum.
Speaker 10 (20:46):
The intention of the app, initiated by former President Biden,
was to prevent illegal crossings. Rio says removing the app
could encourage dangerous behavior.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
It means that many might seek to enter the UA
through extremely dangerous ways, such as the mountain, deserts and
the ocean. And it'll place a lot of people in
grave danger.
Speaker 10 (21:07):
He says, These thousands of people now stuck in Mexican
border towns have three options.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
They have the difficult decision of saying, do I return
to my home country and face the danger that I left.
Do I remain in Mexico without any money and try
to adjust my status here, which is extremely difficult, Or
do I make my way to the United States through
an irregular way.
Speaker 10 (21:30):
For many waiting at the border, excitement and hope has
been replaced by fear and of certainty. I don't know
what my life will be from here on.
Speaker 8 (21:44):
Well, it's not going to be living in the US.
Did you hear what old boy that gets paid to
bring these illegals in here? He's just basically a coyote
wearing a tie.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
He said.
Speaker 8 (21:54):
Look, if you don't let them in here, you don't
let them walk through the front door and break the
Law'll find some other way to break in. That's like saying,
don't lock your front door, because then the burglars might
have to break out the windows and they could cut
their arms, or they may have to crawl up onto
(22:14):
the roof to get in, and they may fall and
hurt themselves.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Don't put a gate around.
Speaker 8 (22:20):
The outside, because then they'll have to crawl over the
top of it and they could injure themselves. You know,
this one always pisses people off, but it's true. So
I'm going to say it. Catholic Charities is probably going
to see a hit to their bottom line since relocating
illegal aliens, which they're in the business of doing, is
(22:41):
part of their business plan.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
And that's a fact. And you can tell me I don't.
Speaker 8 (22:47):
Like Catholics or your Catholic or Catholic this, or Catholic
that I don't give a damn stop allowing your church's
organization to relocate illegal aliens here include this email.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Well, if they don't do it, somebody else will. What
the hell kind of answer is that.
Speaker 8 (23:07):
If you're a proud Catholic, then stand up and say
stop this nonsense. The good news is I think most
of that's going to come to an end now, but
that is it is factually a major source of income
Catholic Charities is relocating illegal aliens, and they are in
(23:28):
the business of it. But you got to wonder they
shut down this app that the illegals were using to
get in here.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Yesterday in your study. You're a procrastinator.
Speaker 8 (23:40):
You've had four years to break in and you waited
till Trump was swapping. Really, do I have a story
for you.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
My brother in law murdered two Native Americans to.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Michael Berry Show. Now you have my attention.
Speaker 8 (23:56):
Democrats said it would be a cold day in Hell
before Donald Trump would.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Be president again.
Speaker 8 (24:03):
I don't know if Houston's Hell or not, but as
hot as haities sometimes, and it's real cold here, so
maybe we were.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
All right, it's gonna be even colder. It's I've had
to hear some of you.
Speaker 8 (24:20):
My grandfather did this. Some of you probably had a
maybe it's a very granddad thing to do. My granddad
wore overalls and he jingled change in his pocket at
all times. You always had a lot of change. There'd
be a lot of things in his pocket, be a
bunch of change. Back when people used you always had change,
(24:42):
which was why when we went to the Pigley Wiggily,
I always anytime anybody was going into town, I rode along.
Because we lived out in the country. There wasn't anything
going on, So if anybody was going to town, I'm
with you. I'm like the dog, I'll hop up in
there in the passenger seat. I'm going for a ride.
You know how your dog would go for a ride.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Doesn't care where they're going. They don't know. Yep, we're
going for a ride. Whoop po, pop up in here.
George is ready for a ride at all times.
Speaker 8 (25:05):
Georgia, you want to go for right, And if you
say it the same way every time, you might be
convinced that they understand what you're saying. They just get
the tone. But I was the same way, I'm going
in town. So when we go into town, Papa, I
knew he had changed in his pocket. So there was
Gallaghu right there at the inside. I should have gone
pro playing gallery. I could have made a lot of
(25:25):
money anyway, I say, Papaul, could I.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Have one quarter?
Speaker 8 (25:31):
I knew that's why you was riding them all right,
and make a big deal over it.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
He'd give me my one quarter.
Speaker 8 (25:37):
See when you got that kind of pressure, moan, you
got to play for a while, you don't. You don't
double up at the challenger stage because the book will
tell you it doesn't make sense to double up because
you're gonna lose one of them. You get a ten
thousand dollars bonus. But you can make more than that
off a single get.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
You don't.
Speaker 8 (25:53):
Don't double up if you're going, it's more fun to
double up, But the book will tell you stay there.
Of course, there's no book, this moan book, you know
what I mean. Anyway, so everybody had a popa who
would just re just would have one little nugget and
then keep repeating it.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
That's what Ramon was this morning.
Speaker 8 (26:11):
You know, they're saying it's gonna be a pipe buster
in the morning, say it's gonna be a pipe buster.
Is just supposed to be cold tomorrow, Yep, it's uh.
They said he's gonna get down to seventeen. They say
it's gonna be a pipe buster. They're saying it's a
it's a yeah, it's a pipe buster. I bet he
said pipe buster ten times. And so it was one
of those things. And the unfortunate thing is I didn't
have anybody that knew what I was doing that could
appreciate it. So I just started goading him to do it,
(26:35):
and then stickering.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Inside every time he would say it's like a pipe buster,
which was frequent.
Speaker 8 (26:40):
Ron DeSantis is not going to be in the back
seat in the Trump administration. He may have run against
Donald Trump from president, but he's trying to get right
with the MAGA crowd and do the right thing. And
I think he means well by this, and all the
while he's shaming Greg Abbott, who ain't doing a damn thing.
Same outlined his plan to assist with Donald Trump's mass
(27:04):
deportation plan, calling a special session, saying Florida is ready
to lead. He's showing that the State of Florida is
going to be a partner with the Trump administration in
getting the illegal aliens deported and keeping them from coming back.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
As clip number ten of Chad's prep go.
Speaker 11 (27:25):
Given how many people came in under Biden, if the
president and the Trump administration does not have support from
state and local governments across the country, the policy is
not going to be optimally effective.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
It's just the reality.
Speaker 11 (27:41):
And so we in Florida have an opportunity yet again
to lead and to say to be there every step
of the way as the new president works to end
this crisis once and for all. Our state officials will
work with the federal government to combat illegal immigration. Our
local officials now look someone like Grady and Wayne. They
want help because they understand the effects of illegal immigration,
(28:03):
but not everyone necessarily wants to do that in every
city in Florida.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
But we're going to say, not only can.
Speaker 11 (28:09):
Younot be a sanctuary city, you have an affirmative obligation
to step up and help.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
And here's the thing.
Speaker 11 (28:15):
You can't just say, like someone's here illegally, wait till
they commit like a serious felony before you deport. If
you have gangs like the Venezuelan gangs are running rough
shot around the country, we have some in Florida too.
You should just be able to identify them. They're here illegally,
get them, turn them over to Ice, and send them
back to their home country.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Where they belong.
Speaker 11 (28:35):
And we need to do this swiftly, and we need
to do this overwhelmingly. Now, some people say, well, you know,
you can just kind of wait and we'll get around
to it, and maybe we'll say no, we have a
sense of urgency in the state of Florida. We have
to come in right on the heels of the new
president getting sworn into office, and we need to enact
strong policies that are going to help this administration accomplish
(28:58):
the mission that the American people spoke loudly and clearly
about in November. And I've talked with the President about
these issues at length. We've been working with people on
his team because they're going to be very bold. But
the President himself told me, he said, you know, inflation
was an issue, he said, but I got elected because
of the immigration issue and the border, and I'm going
to solve it. And he is very, very intent on
(29:20):
getting the job done for the American peoples.
Speaker 8 (29:25):
Further to that point, the medium made a big deal
as if Donald Trump was crazy for this over the
fact that he considered military action against cartels in Mexico,
and they described it as if that meant he was unstable.
Let me tell you something. We shouldn't be fighting war
(29:46):
against Russia through Ukraine as our proxy. We shouldn't be
fighting wars in other countries. The cartels are effectively attacking
America on American soil. There's your war, and it's a
war you can't lose. It's a war that will make
a difference for every single one of us.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
It's a real war.
Speaker 8 (30:09):
It's a legitimate war against a real foe that will
improve our lives when we kill them. This is an
executive order naming the cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
This is actually an executive order designating the cartels and
other organizations to be poor terrorist organizations.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
And it's a big one.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Yes, certain.
Speaker 6 (30:33):
People have wanted to do this for years, so they
are now designated as terrorist organizations foreign and Mexico probably
doesn't want that, but we have to do what's right.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
They're killing on people.
Speaker 6 (30:53):
They're killing two hundred and fifty three hundred thousand American
people a year, not one hundred like has been reported
for fifteen years.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
It's probably three hundred thousand.
Speaker 8 (31:06):
The deadly drug fentanyl ends up on American streets and
killing America's youth, me the first time you use it,
and enough simply to cover the end of a pencil.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Lad, that's how little it takes to kill you.
Speaker 8 (31:23):
That's all. The cartels are getting richer by the day.
We shouldn't and we no longer will allow that nonsense.
Kudos to Donald Trump for taking on this issue. But
you have to ask yourself how many people allowed this
to go on for this long because they refuse to
address it while sending billions to Ukraine. I guess maybe
(31:47):
if the cartels were kicking money back to the Biden
crime family, then they would have been allowed to well,
on second thought,
It's that time, time, time, time, Luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Michael Verie Show is on the air. Happy by, Do
you want to build a storm up?
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Say? Is it getting cold around here?
Speaker 2 (00:21):
I'm shaking so damn much. I feel like I'm dense.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
I can't feel my fig fingers anymore. Light, there's there's numb.
Maybe you should wear these extra gloves.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
My hands trying to get sweaty.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Extra gloves.
Speaker 4 (00:37):
You've had this pair of extra gloves, this whole type, Yeah,
wearing the rockies.
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Are you cold, Karen? You wouldn't be sneezing if you
weren't cold. Wos just.
Speaker 5 (00:56):
Aol?
Speaker 6 (00:56):
The wear that outside is fightful, but the fire is
so delightful.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
And since we've no place to go, let it snow.
Let it snow.
Speaker 7 (01:08):
Let it stark man, it doesn't show signs is stubborn.
And I've brought me some called for probing.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
The lights turned away, down load, Let it.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Snow, Let it s loong.
Speaker 8 (01:24):
When we finally kissed good night, and how I'll keep
going out in the storm.
Speaker 5 (01:31):
But if you.
Speaker 7 (01:31):
Really hold me tired all the way home all they
want and the fire is slow and dying, and my dear,
we're still goodbye.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
What a crazy day.
Speaker 8 (01:45):
Yes, we are alive, as I promise you we would
be all barring something crazy or Lord calling us home.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
We will be here all week with you live. And
I got it.
Speaker 8 (02:00):
I tell you, it is one of the oddest days
to do radio. What an embarrassment of riches.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
We have.
Speaker 8 (02:11):
The most incredible day yesterday out of President Trump, fifteen
hundred January sixth political prisoners pardoned. It's like about six
will have their sentences commuted, but about fifteen hundred pardoned.
You have one of the most amazing days in American
(02:31):
history all in one day. And I am going to
focus primarily on that. But I would be remiss if
I did not point out that we are having a
generational snow outside right now. And if you haven't peeked
out already and you're in the Greater Houston area, check
(02:54):
it out because it's a treat.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Emily came over this morning.
Speaker 8 (03:00):
Obviously, her daughter Hudson, doesn't have school, so Emily came
over after they had been outside playing in the snow.
Speaker 2 (03:07):
She came in and said, ramone's out in the snow
as well.
Speaker 8 (03:10):
Once we got the show prepared, all the systems working
and we can do the show. There's no problem with content.
Our biggest challenge at a time like this is are
the generators operating properly? Is everything work? Are the communications
systems working correctly? And once all that was done, Ramone
had to go out and play in the snow himself.
(03:33):
It is a glorious, wonderful time. And if you are
snug as a bug, as my mother used to say,
under the covers listening to us, and we are honored
to be there with you, I do ask that you
check in on the Widow Jones next door, because in
addition to being scared at a time like this that
(03:53):
the systems will fail, there is a sense of loneliness particularly,
and the world seems to shut down and close in
and to be the four walls within which you live
your life. So if there's a old fellow down the road,
or Wida Jones next door, or single mom or anyone
(04:16):
else that you can check in on and just make
sure that they're okay. Today's one of those days that
that goes a very very long way, and for the kids,
what a glorious time. I remember, you know, we have
listeners far beyond the greater Houston area and they won't
understand this, But snow in Houston, I don't care how
(04:38):
many times you've seen snow in how many other places,
and a whole lot more of it, and piled high
enough that you can ski in, enough that you can
snowmobile in, enough that it's a postcard for us to
see snow in Houston and our regular environ is a
special thing. Indeed, when I was a kid, we I
(05:00):
would hope for it, and every year they would tease
us this.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Might be the year.
Speaker 8 (05:05):
And honestly, I don't remember having as much snow as
I see outside our window right now as a kid
growing up in Orange, and crazy as this would be.
My dad is now the little old man down the street.
Of course, we have caretakers there with him, and my
wife just got off the phone with him and he's fine,
(05:25):
and we've got a generator and everything is taken care of.
But Orange in Lake Charles is under a blizzard warning.
A blizzard warning in southeast Texas and southwest Louisiana I
never ever would have imagined, but it is happening.
Speaker 2 (05:41):
We will have some comments on the weather.
Speaker 8 (05:46):
Because it's a special time and I don't want our
news department got in early. They went live early. I
think they were scheduled to be on since Ford, you
know if they were. Yeah, So it is all hands
on deck at KTRH, which is our flagship station, the
news team at a time like this, they come in
the night before, they sleep on sleeping bags in the hallways.
(06:10):
They're living off you know, vending machine food. They are
they are committed. But look, this is go time for them.
This is they're prepared for this. This is what they do,
this is what they love to do. They're good at it.
Everybody's tuned in. At a time like this, People that
may not always listen to KTRH switch over to KTRH
to get their.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Weather and updates.
Speaker 8 (06:30):
And those guys as always rise to the occasion, and
we appreciate that. Many many happy times or happy memories,
I would say, because the time they may not be
happy times. Ramona and I have. Of course, he's been
at this for a lot longer than I have, so
he has a lot more years of doing that. Now,
I want to talk about President Trump and yesterday and
(06:52):
how special yesterday was.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
It.
Speaker 8 (07:00):
It is hard to put into words exactly what he
did the scope of what he did. We have a
new Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, President Trump's day or
a seventy eight year old man to do what he did.
The joy You know, late last night that January sixth,
(07:24):
theres that are in prison were being released.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
Some of them are at home and they're being.
Speaker 8 (07:31):
They're being pardoned so that will clear their record. Some
of them were getting out of prison last night. And
what a glorious, wonderful thing it was to behold and
see those guys, a lot of them military veterans. They're
families waiting to see them. That was just one of
so many things that were done yesterday. The Executive orders
(07:55):
a ninety minute press conference, the swearing in and everything
that go with the pomp and circumstance, and you're under
the microscope, the cameras on you and your family the
entire day, and that seventy eight year old man will
still going.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Late at night, I.
Speaker 8 (08:11):
Was laying on the couch watching him swing his sword
Mike Leech style.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Wow, this is going to be a fun ride.
Speaker 7 (08:20):
One places so.
Speaker 8 (08:21):
Crazy, so totally we go that everybody has a party
to Michael Berry shoe.
Speaker 6 (08:31):
The Golden Age of America begins right now from this
day forward. Our country will flourish and be respected.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
Again all over the world. We will be the envy
of every.
Speaker 6 (08:42):
Nation, and we will not allow ourselves to be taken
advantage of any longer.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
During every single day of.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
The Trump administration, I will very simply put America first.
Our sovereignty will be reclaimed, our safety will be restored,
the scales of justice.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Will be rebalanced.
Speaker 6 (09:06):
The vicious, violent, and unfair weaponization of the Justice Department
and our government will.
Speaker 9 (09:12):
End, and our top priority will be to create a
nation that is proud, prosperous, and free.
Speaker 6 (09:36):
America will soon be greater, stronger, and far more exceptional
than ever before.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
Our return to.
Speaker 6 (09:45):
The presidency confidence and optimistic that we are at the
start of a thrilling new era of national success. A
tide of change is sweeping the country. Sunlight is pouring
over the entire world, and America has the chance to
seize this opportunity like never before. From this moment on,
America's decline is over, and we will immediately restore the integrity, competency,
(10:11):
and loyalty.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Of America's government.
Speaker 6 (10:14):
Over the past eight years, I have been tested and
challenged more than any president. In our two hundred and
fifty year history, and I've learned a lot along the way.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
The journey to.
Speaker 6 (10:24):
Reclaim our republic has not been an easy one, that
I can tell you. Those who wish to stop our
cause have tried to take my freedom, and indeed to
take my life just a few months ago in a
beautiful Pennsylvania field and assassin's bullet ripped through my ear.
(10:45):
But I felt then, and believe even more so now,
that my life was saved for a reason. I was
saved by God to make America great again.
Speaker 2 (11:05):
Literally as this quad.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
JD.
Speaker 8 (11:09):
Vance is swearing in Marco Rubio as Secretary of State.
Just a few days ago, Marco Rubio was a senator
in Florida from Florida, and JD. Vance a Senator from Ohio.
(11:30):
And in a matter of days they have ascended to
be now the Secretary of State as of this very moment,
and the Vice President of the United States, both of
them in the line of succession to be president, should
God forbid something happen, both of them in powerful positions
(11:50):
to affect the direction of this country. Not that a
senator isn't, but my goodness, secretary of State and Vice President,
let's start with some of the things the President did.
The President did yesterday. This one has not received enough attention,
so I've moved it to the top of the list.
President Trump says he will reinstate any service members dismissed
from the military for their refusal to get the clock shot,
(12:15):
and he will do so with back pay. He will,
as much as can be done financially make them whole.
Speaker 6 (12:23):
This week, I will reinstate any service members who were
unjustly expelled from our military for objecting to the COVID
vaccine mandate.
Speaker 3 (12:31):
With full back pay.
Speaker 6 (12:44):
And I will sign in order to stop our warriors
from being subjected to radical political theories and social experiments
while on duty.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
It's going to end immediately.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
How our armed.
Speaker 6 (12:58):
Forces will be free to focus on their soul mission
defeating America's enemies.
Speaker 8 (13:09):
We will never forget what they did to us, the
lies that were told, Joe Biden saying, looking into the camera,
to tell the nation, as the president of the United States,
if you get the clock shot, you will not contract COVID,
nor can you spread COVID, both of which were lies.
But you can die from it. And many people, including
(13:33):
many young people did. Hell Mary Tally Boden is still
under the gun from the Texas Medical Board for treating
patients with ivermectin, for saving people's lives, for healing people.
But they have to destroy her because she dared speak out. Well,
(13:58):
they poked the wrong bear there, because in the process
of going after her, they can't find a single doctor
who will speak out against her and say that what
she's done was in any way harmful to patients. They
can't find a single one. But there are lots of
her patients whose lives were saved, people who she took
care of in the middle of the night because they
(14:19):
couldn't get ivermacked in anywhere else.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Remember they told us.
Speaker 8 (14:21):
It was horse paced won the Nobel Prize for the
man who found who created it. And now they're back
to say and just like Hunter Biden's laptop, Yeah, maybe
that wasn't true what we told you at that time.
She also exposed the fact that the medical director of
the Texas Medical Board, this fact had been hidden, is
the head of was the medical director for Planned Parenthood.
(14:43):
How does Greg Abbott let that happen in that state agency?
So what do you think might happen to a doctor
who speaks out against abortion in the.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
State of Texas. I think the Texas.
Speaker 8 (14:53):
Medical Board might look unkindly upon you, and you wouldn't
even know that it's the abortionists who were behind that,
because their top person is actually running the Texas Medical Board.
Oh what a tangle web we weave when first we
practiced to deceive. That's on Greg Abbott, by the way.
It was a great day yesterday. President Trump just out
did himself. We're going to go through it coming up
(15:14):
from Ferry and the triple Crown weave is you know
Tilton to the side the leaning tower of Weaver. Missouria
County Sheriff's Deputy Hayesus Vargas Jesse.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
I'm told he went by. I did not know him,
was laid to rest yesterday.
Speaker 8 (15:32):
Monday's proceedings started with a two hour public viewing at
the Alvin Church. It was a public viewing Sunday night
at Grace Church in southeast Houston. The Bressoria County Sheriff's
Office said in a statement today we laid to rest
one of our own, deputy, Heyesus Jesse Vargas, who was
taken from us far too soon. Deputy Vargus dedicated seventeen
(15:55):
years to serving and protecting the community.
Speaker 2 (15:57):
He loved.
Speaker 8 (15:59):
His sacrifices reminder of the risks our deputies face every
day in order to keep others safe. Deputy Vargus was
not only dedicated public service, but also have a loved husband, father,
and friend. His loss has left a void in our
agency that cannot be filled. As we come together to
honor his life and legacy, we asked that you keep
(16:20):
his wife, daughters, and loved ones in your thoughts and prayers.
Rest in peace, Deputy of Argus, You will never be forgotten.
Bargus worked in law enforcement with the Sheriff's Office for
seventeen years. He also spent roughly the past two years
on the US Marshall's Violent Offenders Task Force, and it
was in that capacity that he was murdered. They were
(16:44):
serving a warrant on a turd who had a record
a mile long clip number six romon on Friday. We
failed to report Rocky, the canine with him, who ended
up tracking down the bad guy in the dumpster and
was shot twice by that turd was released by Westbury
(17:08):
Animal Hospital and sent home.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
The US Marshall canine who was shot twice by a
wanted killer. Is now out of the hospital. Look at that, Rocky,
an eighteen month old Belgian MALINOI was only on the
job for six months when when he hunted down the suspect.
We told you about Wednesday, that suspect shot and killed
Brassori County Sheriff's deputy. Heyesus Vargas. After surgery in two
(17:32):
days in the hospital, Rocky now back with his handler.
I know the handler is excited. We're told he's expected
to make a full recovery and return to work in
the near future.
Speaker 8 (17:47):
One of the executive orders that President Trump signed yesterday
an executive order clarifying birthright citizenship. This is anchor baby stuff.
It has been said for decades that this is terrible.
We should do something about it. Nobody would he did.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
This next order relates to the definition of birth right
citizenship under the fourteenth Demendment of the United States.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
And it's a good one. Birth right. That's a big one.
Speaker 2 (18:16):
What about that one I have for it?
Speaker 6 (18:18):
That one could be Do you think we have good grounds?
But you could be right, and you'll find out it's ridiculous.
We're the only country in the world that does this
with birthright, as.
Speaker 3 (18:32):
You know, and it's just absolutely ridiculous. But you know,
we'll see, we think it.
Speaker 2 (18:38):
We have a very good und He's serious. This is how
you do it.
Speaker 8 (18:44):
Within hours of taking the oath, Trump administration officials sut
down the Customs and Border Patrol one app. It's called
for illegal aliens. As Fox has built illusion reports, this
is what Biden quote use to essentially waive a magic
wand and allow nine hundred thousand plus otherwise inadmissible migrants
(19:06):
into the US via mass blanket humanitarian parole. Of course,
some media will run sob stories about poor illegals trying
to get into the US, but we're not buying it.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
The story from CBS San Diego, this.
Speaker 10 (19:21):
App has helped nearly a million people cross into the
US legally, but the shutdown will affect thousands of migrants
trying to cross through the San Diego border, and the
news has left some in tears. Migrants at the border
breaking down seeing their appointments canceled. Minutes after President Trump
(19:42):
was sworn into office, this Colombian migrant saying, may President
Trump have compassion and let us cross after six months
of suffering. Her appointment was set for the same day
the app went dark. Every day up to one thousand, thousand,
four hundred and fifty migrants would line up at eight
(20:03):
border crossings waiting for their appointment to legally cross into
the US on immigration parole. The appointments were made through
the Customs and Border Protection one app. Most migrants would
wait months to get on the list. But as of
midday Monday, no more appointments will be scheduled and tens
of thousands of existing ones have been canceled.
Speaker 5 (20:24):
I predict that more people will be injured and likely
will lose their lives as a result of this.
Speaker 10 (20:29):
Pedro Rios with the American Friends Service Committee says the
CBP one app was the only way to get an
appointment to legally cross the border.
Speaker 5 (20:38):
Customs and Border Protection has worked with its Mexican counterparts
to not permit people to arrive at a port of
entry and seek asylum.
Speaker 10 (20:46):
The intention of the app, initiated by former President Biden,
was to prevent illegal crossings. Rio says removing the app
could encourage dangerous behavior.
Speaker 5 (20:57):
It means that many might seek to enter the UA
through extremely dangerous ways, such as the mountain, deserts and
the ocean. And it'll place a lot of people in
grave danger.
Speaker 10 (21:07):
He says, These thousands of people now stuck in Mexican
border towns have three options.
Speaker 5 (21:14):
They have the difficult decision of saying, do I return
to my home country and face the danger that I left.
Do I remain in Mexico without any money and try
to adjust my status here, which is extremely difficult, Or
do I make my way to the United States through
an irregular way.
Speaker 10 (21:30):
For many waiting at the border, excitement and hope has
been replaced by fear and of certainty. I don't know
what my life will be from here on.
Speaker 8 (21:44):
Well, it's not going to be living in the US.
Did you hear what old boy that gets paid to
bring these illegals in here? He's just basically a coyote
wearing a tie.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
He said.
Speaker 8 (21:54):
Look, if you don't let them in here, you don't
let them walk through the front door and break the
Law'll find some other way to break in. That's like saying,
don't lock your front door, because then the burglars might
have to break out the windows and they could cut
their arms, or they may have to crawl up onto
(22:14):
the roof to get in, and they may fall and
hurt themselves.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
Don't put a gate around.
Speaker 8 (22:20):
The outside, because then they'll have to crawl over the
top of it and they could injure themselves. You know,
this one always pisses people off, but it's true. So
I'm going to say it. Catholic Charities is probably going
to see a hit to their bottom line since relocating
illegal aliens, which they're in the business of doing, is
(22:41):
part of their business plan.
Speaker 2 (22:43):
And that's a fact. And you can tell me I don't.
Speaker 8 (22:47):
Like Catholics or your Catholic or Catholic this, or Catholic
that I don't give a damn stop allowing your church's
organization to relocate illegal aliens here include this email.
Speaker 2 (23:01):
Well, if they don't do it, somebody else will. What
the hell kind of answer is that.
Speaker 8 (23:07):
If you're a proud Catholic, then stand up and say
stop this nonsense. The good news is I think most
of that's going to come to an end now, but
that is it is factually a major source of income
Catholic Charities is relocating illegal aliens, and they are in
(23:28):
the business of it. But you got to wonder they
shut down this app that the illegals were using to
get in here.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Yesterday in your study. You're a procrastinator.
Speaker 8 (23:40):
You've had four years to break in and you waited
till Trump was swapping. Really, do I have a story
for you.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
My brother in law murdered two Native Americans to.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
Michael Berry Show. Now you have my attention.
Speaker 8 (23:56):
Democrats said it would be a cold day in Hell
before Donald Trump would.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Be president again.
Speaker 8 (24:03):
I don't know if Houston's Hell or not, but as
hot as haities sometimes, and it's real cold here, so
maybe we were.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
All right, it's gonna be even colder. It's I've had
to hear some of you.
Speaker 8 (24:20):
My grandfather did this. Some of you probably had a
maybe it's a very granddad thing to do. My granddad
wore overalls and he jingled change in his pocket at
all times. You always had a lot of change. There'd
be a lot of things in his pocket, be a
bunch of change. Back when people used you always had change,
(24:42):
which was why when we went to the Pigley Wiggily,
I always anytime anybody was going into town, I rode along.
Because we lived out in the country. There wasn't anything
going on, So if anybody was going to town, I'm
with you. I'm like the dog, I'll hop up in
there in the passenger seat. I'm going for a ride.
You know how your dog would go for a ride.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Doesn't care where they're going. They don't know. Yep, we're
going for a ride. Whoop po, pop up in here.
George is ready for a ride at all times.
Speaker 8 (25:05):
Georgia, you want to go for right, And if you
say it the same way every time, you might be
convinced that they understand what you're saying. They just get
the tone. But I was the same way, I'm going
in town. So when we go into town, Papa, I
knew he had changed in his pocket. So there was
Gallaghu right there at the inside. I should have gone
pro playing gallery. I could have made a lot of
(25:25):
money anyway, I say, Papaul, could I.
Speaker 2 (25:29):
Have one quarter?
Speaker 8 (25:31):
I knew that's why you was riding them all right,
and make a big deal over it.
Speaker 2 (25:36):
He'd give me my one quarter.
Speaker 8 (25:37):
See when you got that kind of pressure, moan, you
got to play for a while, you don't. You don't
double up at the challenger stage because the book will
tell you it doesn't make sense to double up because
you're gonna lose one of them. You get a ten
thousand dollars bonus. But you can make more than that
off a single get.
Speaker 2 (25:52):
You don't.
Speaker 8 (25:53):
Don't double up if you're going, it's more fun to
double up, But the book will tell you stay there.
Of course, there's no book, this moan book, you know
what I mean. Anyway, so everybody had a popa who
would just re just would have one little nugget and
then keep repeating it.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
That's what Ramon was this morning.
Speaker 8 (26:11):
You know, they're saying it's gonna be a pipe buster
in the morning, say it's gonna be a pipe buster.
Is just supposed to be cold tomorrow, Yep, it's uh.
They said he's gonna get down to seventeen. They say
it's gonna be a pipe buster. They're saying it's a
it's a yeah, it's a pipe buster. I bet he
said pipe buster ten times. And so it was one
of those things. And the unfortunate thing is I didn't
have anybody that knew what I was doing that could
appreciate it. So I just started goading him to do it,
(26:35):
and then stickering.
Speaker 2 (26:36):
Inside every time he would say it's like a pipe buster,
which was frequent.
Speaker 8 (26:40):
Ron DeSantis is not going to be in the back
seat in the Trump administration. He may have run against
Donald Trump from president, but he's trying to get right
with the MAGA crowd and do the right thing. And
I think he means well by this, and all the
while he's shaming Greg Abbott, who ain't doing a damn thing.
Same outlined his plan to assist with Donald Trump's mass
(27:04):
deportation plan, calling a special session, saying Florida is ready
to lead. He's showing that the State of Florida is
going to be a partner with the Trump administration in
getting the illegal aliens deported and keeping them from coming back.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
As clip number ten of Chad's prep go.
Speaker 11 (27:25):
Given how many people came in under Biden, if the
president and the Trump administration does not have support from
state and local governments across the country, the policy is
not going to be optimally effective.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
It's just the reality.
Speaker 11 (27:41):
And so we in Florida have an opportunity yet again
to lead and to say to be there every step
of the way as the new president works to end
this crisis once and for all. Our state officials will
work with the federal government to combat illegal immigration. Our
local officials now look someone like Grady and Wayne. They
want help because they understand the effects of illegal immigration,
(28:03):
but not everyone necessarily wants to do that in every
city in Florida.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
But we're going to say, not only can.
Speaker 11 (28:09):
Younot be a sanctuary city, you have an affirmative obligation
to step up and help.
Speaker 2 (28:13):
And here's the thing.
Speaker 11 (28:15):
You can't just say, like someone's here illegally, wait till
they commit like a serious felony before you deport. If
you have gangs like the Venezuelan gangs are running rough
shot around the country, we have some in Florida too.
You should just be able to identify them. They're here illegally,
get them, turn them over to Ice, and send them
back to their home country.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Where they belong.
Speaker 11 (28:35):
And we need to do this swiftly, and we need
to do this overwhelmingly. Now, some people say, well, you know,
you can just kind of wait and we'll get around
to it, and maybe we'll say no, we have a
sense of urgency in the state of Florida. We have
to come in right on the heels of the new
president getting sworn into office, and we need to enact
strong policies that are going to help this administration accomplish
(28:58):
the mission that the American people spoke loudly and clearly
about in November. And I've talked with the President about
these issues at length. We've been working with people on
his team because they're going to be very bold. But
the President himself told me, he said, you know, inflation
was an issue, he said, but I got elected because
of the immigration issue and the border, and I'm going
to solve it. And he is very, very intent on
(29:20):
getting the job done for the American peoples.
Speaker 8 (29:25):
Further to that point, the medium made a big deal
as if Donald Trump was crazy for this over the
fact that he considered military action against cartels in Mexico,
and they described it as if that meant he was unstable.
Let me tell you something. We shouldn't be fighting war
(29:46):
against Russia through Ukraine as our proxy. We shouldn't be
fighting wars in other countries. The cartels are effectively attacking
America on American soil. There's your war, and it's a
war you can't lose. It's a war that will make
a difference for every single one of us.
Speaker 2 (30:08):
It's a real war.
Speaker 8 (30:09):
It's a legitimate war against a real foe that will
improve our lives when we kill them. This is an
executive order naming the cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
This is actually an executive order designating the cartels and
other organizations to be poor terrorist organizations.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
And it's a big one.
Speaker 2 (30:31):
Yes, certain.
Speaker 6 (30:33):
People have wanted to do this for years, so they
are now designated as terrorist organizations foreign and Mexico probably
doesn't want that, but we have to do what's right.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
They're killing on people.
Speaker 6 (30:53):
They're killing two hundred and fifty three hundred thousand American
people a year, not one hundred like has been reported
for fifteen years.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
It's probably three hundred thousand.
Speaker 8 (31:06):
The deadly drug fentanyl ends up on American streets and
killing America's youth, me the first time you use it,
and enough simply to cover the end of a pencil.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Lad, that's how little it takes to kill you.
Speaker 8 (31:23):
That's all. The cartels are getting richer by the day.
We shouldn't and we no longer will allow that nonsense.
Kudos to Donald Trump for taking on this issue. But
you have to ask yourself how many people allowed this
to go on for this long because they refuse to
address it while sending billions to Ukraine. I guess maybe
(31:47):
if the cartels were kicking money back to the Biden
crime family, then they would have been allowed to well,
on second thought,
