Speaker 7 (06:18):
The federal workforce goes to work every single day and
provide critical services to work in families.
Speaker 3 (06:23):
Government workers don't feel they should be held accountable because

Y'all come to get the car.
Speaker 8 (09:09):
The car is not here.
Speaker 12 (09:10):
The car is in the shop, and one part is
at another shop. If y'all want it that bad, y'all
can go pay that man to get it out, and
then pay the person to get the other part out.
I mean, because y'all at like y'all couldn't be patient.
You knew that we was gonna get it taken care of.
So if y'all want it that bad, y'all can go
get it. You pay the man and pay the other man,
and we can leave it as that because we're not
ow that much on the car, y'all want to trip
(09:33):
on it now that we're only got on a thousand
or two thousand on it, So you know what, God
bless you out. Y'all can go pick up the car.
So you know what, give me a car back and
I will get you the direction to where a man
is and I would let him know that y'all gonna
be paying him to get it out because y'all don't
be patient. We're not rich like y'all.

Speaker 13 (10:12):
On trouble and the ground out reading the field. I've
seen them not They had to dude with the kid
back singing.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Dad, I'm a tool, beedos boot.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
Let's go to Ashley. You're the first call of the week.
Make it excellent, Ashley seven one thousand, go ahead.
Speaker 14 (10:35):
Him, Michael, I just wanted to pop a top to
my beautiful daughter who's going to be turning eighteen tomorrow.
I know you've just lost one of years to college,
and I'm excited to see what she's going to do
with the rest of her life.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Is she a senior in high school and an.
Speaker 14 (10:51):
Organ donor who can vote?
Speaker 10 (10:52):
Yes, sir, she is right on?
Speaker 1 (10:54):
And where does she go?
Speaker 5 (10:57):
Clear Creek High School down in Lake City?
Speaker 2 (10:59):
Right on?
Speaker 1 (10:59):
Okay? Is she your only one?
Speaker 14 (11:03):
No, sir, She's got a little sister. She's fabulous, Nam Shirley.
Speaker 3 (11:07):
I think it makes it easier having a second child
to cushion the blow, because at least then you have
to focus on their activities and their day to day needs.
I've been told by friends who have a one alone
child that when that child leaves the roost, it can
be a little bit of a it can be a
little bit tough, Ashley.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
How old are you?
Speaker 5 (11:31):
I am forty one?
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Okay, well, then you don't you disprove my theory rather
than proving it. But I have noticed that for mommies
and daddies who have a baby at a young age,
that when their child is leaving the house, if their
kids leave in the house and they're thirty eight, thirty nine,
forty forty one, whatever, they tend to be very happy
(11:54):
to have some time, you know, without the kid in
the house and they're excited about it. And I think
the reason for that is they spent You're still a
kid into your late teens. In your twenties, you might
appear to be more adult, but you're in a middle
phase of all that, and they had that face taken
(12:15):
from them with little bitty babies, which are.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Take a lot of effort.
Speaker 3 (12:19):
I have noticed that for folks that were older, like
my wife and I, that we got we had that
period kind of footloots and fancy free through the twenties
and even into the thirties, and so then when the
kids come home, you got it out of the way,
so you're not as eager for them to leave. Obviously
it's not always the case, but I have noticed that
(12:40):
is the case. I have friends, I'm fifty four. I
have friends who are grandparents at this age, and they
say I'm a lot better grandparent than I was as
a parent, because I'm a little older and a little
more seasoned, and you know, I'm more established at my work.
I'm less you know, distracted by the things that don't matter,
and more focus on family. So in any case, Ashley,
(13:03):
thank you.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
For the cost.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Weeheart and Happy birthday to your daughter, Mario, Mario, what
you got, hey, Michael.
Speaker 10 (13:10):
I've been thinking about this complaining chorus about the eggs,
and I agree they're expensive.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
But I have an idea.
Speaker 10 (13:18):
Why don't they take some of this Doge money that
they're saving and buy some hands from overseas and bring
them in and.
Speaker 3 (13:26):
Get that egg problem taking care of it.
Speaker 10 (13:27):
They probably do the same thing with butter.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
What are your thoughts. I don't like that.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
I don't like the government getting into the business of
buying commodities to drive down price. That's how we got
into all our big agriculture problems. That's what ended up
happening with the number. That's how we ended up with
ethanol in corn because we had Iowa being the first
primary in the presidential election. What did I say, ethanol went, Oh,
(13:58):
ethanol and gas Yes, in gasoline. What ends up happening
is the first primary of the presidential season is Iowa,
and a strong showing in Iowa keeps you in the
game to New Hampshire and Iowa is where typically maybe
up to half of the presidential field is going to
(14:19):
be winnowed out. So what people do is they're constantly
going to Iowa, for the Iowa State Fair, for any
place they can get FaceTime with the people of Iowa.
And they do this for multiple years, and whether they're
a member of Congress or the Senate or a governor.
So it means that any law that comes up that
is a subsidy for Iowan's Iowa farmers in this case,
(14:44):
they won't Nobody wants to vote against it because you
want the people of Iowa to love you, and so
you get these bad laws. And that's how we ended
up with ethanol in our gasoline, which was a horrible thing.
It was terrible because the government got into buying a
commodity and having more of it than we needed. So
then we said, well, so that we can keep justifying that,
(15:06):
how about we force it into the gas supply, which
was horrible for the guts of your engine, just absolutely
horrible for your engine. So no, I don't think that's
a good idea. I have watched several commentaries by folks
in the ag industry, including down to the farmer level,
(15:27):
and they claim that this is all bunk. They claimed
that there were too many birds killed over av and
flew and who are we to know whether I'm just
as likely to believe there were too many as that
there weren't, especially because I have seen what happened with
how the coronavirus isn't what decimated the United States. It
(15:51):
was the reaction to it, the lockdowns, the school closings,
the business closings, the layoffs, the clot shot, all of
that nonsense, and it was absolute nonsense, was the government response.
Government is not good at making decisions because it is
not populated by people who make good decisions. There ain't
(16:14):
an inventor one in the government before Trump and and
Elon came in. There ain't an inventor one in the government.
They're not industrialists, they're not entrepreneurs. They are not great
men of science and technology and transportation.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Is just not so how do we expect them to
make your decisions? Doing it big? On the Michael Berry Show. Willy,
You're on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, Willie.
Speaker 5 (16:53):
Good Man.
Speaker 10 (16:53):
I just wanted to give a shout out.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
I know you don't do shout.
Speaker 10 (16:56):
Out, Sorry, Papa Top to Sir Kurt Michalis, who I
knew him. I knew the name growing up, but he
was good friends with my brother Tino, who passed away
a few years back, and they went to school together.
And when word got out about Tino having gleio BLASTONMA,
Kurt was one of the first to reach out, and
(17:16):
we thought he was just playing, but he said, come on,
let's go climb Mount Kilimanjaro together, and he was serious,
and he was just one of those great guys. He
was just like Tino. That's why they hit us so well.
And when I finally met him, it's like I've known
him my whole life. That's the kind of guy he is.
It's instant, just a genuine nice guy, nothing fake about
(17:37):
him at all. And I really enjoyed the tour he
gave me for one of his bakeries a few years
back too.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
I found out on either Tuesday or Wednesday, and I
went from finding out to talking about it within about
thirty seconds, so I didn't think much. I found it
as easier to just rather than preparing anything, to just
say what's on your heart, so I did and left
(18:06):
it at that, and I was amazed at how many
people reached out to me that knew Kirk Mchaeless and
some of them didn't know I knew Kirk, some of
them did, but I heard from a number of people.
In fact, I've been in touch with his girls since then.
And the funeral arrangements or the I think it's they're
calling a memorial service will be March ninth, which is
(18:28):
a Sunday, and it'll be at the San Louis. They
had to delay it a little bit because with everything
going on with Marti Grass and especially down on the
island and everything tied up. I suspect Tilman made this
happen for him because he was Tilman's cousin and they
were pretty close, as you might note. So in any case, yes,
(18:50):
great man Kirk mchaleis Elbillio Bakery and their delicious food
lives on.
Speaker 1 (18:55):
Are you playing anywhere tomorrow? Willie?
Speaker 10 (18:59):
Yeah, we're doing the uh and we do it every year.
It's for the Sea Egg. He's here in Galveston. It's
a it's a sellout every year. Where is it, Georgia
Mitchell started this and uh Tremont House is gracious enough
to continue in it, which were really thankful for them.
It's it's down on the strand. I'm almost afraid to
tell you I probably do some crowds, but uh, it's.
Speaker 3 (19:18):
Yeah, I'm gonna be. It's gonna be at tillmans think tonight.
But if we're still on the island tomorrow, I've got
some things that have to work out. But if we're
still on the island tomorrow, I'm gonna come by and
see you.
Speaker 1 (19:29):
That'd be great.
Speaker 10 (19:30):
I might catch you after that, who knows. Well, we'll
see it possibly tonight as well.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
All right, hold on, hold, I got to make sure
I still have your numbers, So hold on and Ramona
get it in just a second. Uh, let's see Joyce
the Sage of Sunnyside. My apology, sweetheart. You should never
have to wait.
Speaker 8 (19:46):
No, no, that's okay, no problem, no problem.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
No, we like to have you on Joyce. Well, hold on,
let's get hold on, let's get our musical. Let's do
this right. And now I bring to you the same
of Sunnyside, Reverend Joyce, rejoice.
Speaker 5 (20:07):
Okay. You know, Michael, the time before the last time
I called, I was so frustrated. But in the midst
of my frustration, the nicest company donated me a brand
new AC unit. Well that was in the summer. Well
winter came and I turned it on and it just
wasn't warming. So I hesitantly, hesitantly, and I mean very hesitantly,
(20:32):
called a company, and Michael, within two hours a young
man from that company was ringing my doorbell. He was
the nicest young man and his name is Jacob, the
nicest young person you would ever want to meet. Not
only Jacob, everybody in fogs that situation. They were so nice.
(20:54):
The owner of the company came out to meet me,
the project manager came out to meet me. The same
day they were putting it in. And you know, I
was just thinking the other day, I said, you know,
we zero in on the bad, but we do not
spotlight the good. You know that in the midst of
so much hatred, there are good people in this nation.
(21:16):
And that's why I will not succumb to the hatred
that's so prevalent in America today. And Michael that you
would be surprised how many companies have called me and said,
you know, see, she'd do so much for your community.
What can we do at your house to help you?
And these things happen. And I remember, Michael, I love
(21:39):
to sit up under the carport and uh, when it's
not Thunday and the lightning and I listened. I like
to listen to the birds sing, and I sing with
the birds. And I was messed over with the carport.
So I called a company. I called and I said,
I won't would you give me an estimation of a
car port? Uh uh, I gotta call ten to fifteen
(22:00):
minutes later this person said, I will build you a
car put that the hurricane came left, and you won't
owe me a die. And that happened. And one Sunday afternoon, Michael,
I'm zero in on some good over here. This Sunday afternoon,
he and his wife came out and discussed they were
gonna paint my house and the car put. And there's
(22:22):
a good people in this nation. And I can remember
I have double windows all over my house due to
the Guff Coast windows. So there's some good people. So
that's why, Michael, I just can I zero in on
hate that I see? And it really all around me,
the hatred that I that I come in contact with
(22:45):
on a daily basis, It just troubles me. And right
now it's Black History Month, this reparation of this ugly
head again. And you know the queen died of telling
us that we are old reparation. Well here's one black sister,
(23:06):
and I said this publicly, nobody owe me nothing because
of slavery, because you see I call reparation rape nation.
You old mean anything. And I've been cursed out about that,
But I'm serious if nough nobody owe me anything because
I'm black, And I just get tired of hearing that,
(23:30):
and people in my comm well, so I hear that
we're in the dilemma we are in today because of slavery,
that's a lie. We are in the condition we're in
today because of us, it's not because of what happened
many years ago. So I just wanted to share some.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
Good today too, blessed to be stressed. Yes, I heard
that said in the church life, and it's true.
Speaker 8 (24:02):
My mother.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
My mother believed that idle hands were the devil's workshop.
And my wife believes if you stay busy, you stay busy,
then you keep yourself from being bothered, You keep yourself
from being worried, you keep yourself from feeling like you
need to be upset about global warming or whatever other nonsense.
(24:28):
If you keep your hands busy and your mind busy,
and it's far more rewarding where to live. Always good
to hear your voice, sweetheart, thank you for calling.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Joyce Bizarre is on? Well done. So this is the
Michael Arry Show.
Speaker 9 (25:07):
And everybody's like, yeah, well dad plans yeah crashing because
pilots are female. That's why pilots, you female females can't
fly planks. I don't want to get into that narrative.
I don't think it's that women can't fly. I think
it's that they can't land. I'm sorry. Since wind has
(25:33):
bringing things back down to reality been their bread and butter.
I know a lot of women with incredible skills. De
escalating is not one of them. My wife's brilliant. She's
got a lot of great ideas. None of them are grounded.
She's like, I think dogs should be allowed to work
(25:55):
in factories.
Speaker 1 (25:56):
Okay, what.
Speaker 9 (25:59):
Hey, that's not practic. Go fine, let's just kill him then.
Speaker 1 (26:07):
Drew Lych is his name?
Speaker 3 (26:09):
Chance McLean found that sent it over. He's on tour
right now. I've never heard of him before. Jeff, You're
on the Michael Berry Show. Welcome to the program sir,
be excellent, Jeff, Jeff, Jeff might be on the mute button. Vaughn,
(26:31):
You're on the Michael Berry Show. Spelled vaug In for
some reason. Vaughan, you're on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead,
Oh we got problems?
Speaker 1 (26:45):
Is what's happening? It's all right, I got a hundred
other things I need to talk about. Is it okay?
You're hearing it? All right? We're in a momentary break here?
Is it good? Huh? Okay?
Speaker 3 (27:03):
All right, go to I think this is my stack
of things I didn't get to this week, and this
one is worthy of our time. By the way, twenty
nine Mexican cartel leaders being extradited from Mexico to the
United States. The Trump administration wanted these The Justice Department
wants these guys. They're bad guys in Mexico is sending them.
(27:25):
Ice says more than a hundred were arrested in raids
at Colony Ridge. Among those arrested was an MS thirteen
gang member named Luis Miguel Perez, who was wanted for
murdering a man in Plum Grove. Perez has been deported
five times and had an active warrant for assault out
(27:46):
on him from Maryland. Here's the ABC thirteen story about
how the illegals there are living in fear. They ought
to be living in fear they got violent criminals. No, no,
they're in fear of ICE. La migre is the problem.
Speaker 7 (28:06):
It's been to multiple businesses today, a beauty shop, a supermarket,
a cell phone store. All of them were empty with
no customers at all. We also haven't seen any law
enforcement out here today.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Empty. I used to saying that this empty.
Speaker 7 (28:23):
The streets are silent. Business is deserted, tables and chairs vacant.
So Coral Kuwavas hasn't had a customer all warning. Her
employees didn't show up either.
Speaker 8 (28:39):
They don't come.
Speaker 7 (28:39):
I don't sell anything, no money, no business. This is
my livelihood. If this continues, I will have to sell
it because I am scared. Whoevas Takaria has been here
in Colony Ridge for two years. Yesterday was Sacoro's day
off ordinary until she got a call from from her husband.
(29:00):
Federal and state agents were everywhere, she said at the time.
Speaker 5 (29:05):
Iliam I told him to shut down the truck and
lock himself in.
Speaker 7 (29:11):
ICE reports the arrest of a man they call an
MS thirteen gang member who had been previously deported. According
to ICE, one hundred and eighteen people have been arrested,
but the agency hasn't answered our questions about whether those
arrested were in the country illegally or how they were
targeted without providing evidence. The agency posted on social media
(29:36):
that the area is known for cartel activity and a
population that is here illegally amil I'm scared and afraid.
People across the country have criticized what they call a
poor response to illegal immigration here in Colony Ridge for years,
but without more information, it's hard to tell what this
(29:57):
operation has accomplished today. One impact is clear fear in
these quiet streets and businesses, so you'll be this is
how I make my money, but if there's no money,
I can't support myself. We have reached out to both
state and federal officials to try to find out more
(30:20):
about this operation. Is it over at this point and
are there more planned like it? We've not received any
responses to our questions.
Speaker 1 (30:31):
Isn't it interesting.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
That these people are supposedly very, very scared because of deportation,
but we've never heard stories about how scared they are
because they have murderers and rapists among them. That story
was never done.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
Did they not live in fear?
Speaker 3 (30:49):
Because either they did and nobody wanted to tell the story.
Or they didn't and process that for a moment. Let
that sink in. If you got murderers and rapists and
