Speaker 6 (02:37):
Who well, I don't know where we were in the audio.
I don't think I've ever used.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
A clip of audio.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
Just much in one show. And while we're at it,
I don't think I've ever been more proud of my
president in my lifetime. Were the United States of America,
By God, you will act like it. I remember when
(03:18):
the Mexican president came to the House of Representatives and
the Democrats were in the majority. Pelosi was the speaker,
and he gave an address. It was broadcast to the nation,
and he talked about us like we were dogs. He
insulted us, he was demanding, he was insulting, he was rude,
(03:46):
and then they stood up and gave him a standing ovation.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Sickening.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
I have watched this nonsense many times, Zelenski doing interviews
where he says one thing to Trump and says another
to the media, where he talks about the United States, says,
you know they will.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Help me or there'll be a third war, third World war.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
You don't dictate to us like that. That's not happening.
And for Trump and JD. Vans to light him up, man,
I don't know where you were in the audio ramon
at the risk of some things replay, Why don't we
(04:36):
catch it? Why don't we start where we are? And
if we need to forward? I just want folks to
hear this. It's a great moment and it deserves to
be amplified.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
A lot of questions. Let's start from the bigin sure fist.
Speaker 9 (04:46):
Wall during the war, everybody has problems, even you, but
you have nice ocean and don't feel now, but you
will feel it in the fusion.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
I'd bless you. I bless You're not your war. Tell
us what we're gonna feel.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
We're trying to solve a problem, don't tell us what
we're going to feel.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
I'm not telling you, because you're in no position to
dictate that what we're doing.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
You're in no position to dictate what we're going to feel.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
We're gonna feel very good, feel influence.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
We're gonna feel very good and very strong, feel influenced.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
You're right now, not in a very good position.
Speaker 10 (05:21):
You've allowed you to be in a very bad position
that he's happened to be right about the very beginning
of the war.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Not in a good position. You don't have the cards
right now with us.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
You start having right now, you don't explains apread. You're
gambling with their lives, and millions of people see you're
gambling with World War three. You're gambling with World War three.
And what you're doing is very disrespectful to the country,
this country that's back to you. Far more than a
(05:51):
lot of people said they should have.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Have you said thank you once.
Speaker 8 (05:56):
Know in this entire meeting that you said f You
went to pencil and campaign for the opposition in October.
Offer some words of appreciation for the United States of
America and the president who's trying to save your country.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
That needed to be said. You think we've forgotten.
Speaker 6 (06:17):
You went to Pennsylvania to campaign for Kamala Harris in October,
right before the election. When you take a shot at
the king, you better not miss.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
And you missed. Your better play was to pull back.
Speaker 6 (06:37):
So that you could be friends with either one, because
you rely on the American treasury to keep from being conquered.
And I'll be very clear, I do not mind Putin
rolling the tanks through Kiev. And if you want to
tell me your family's Ukrainian or whatever.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Other, that's fine. That's your position.
Speaker 6 (07:05):
I have mine. I think that is a corrupt state,
no less corrupt than Russia, no less evil than Russia.
And I think that little dictator is himself corrupt. And
I think, and I'm pretty certain Trump wants to blow
the whistle on this. I think he will blow the
(07:26):
whistle on how this whole thing happened, and how many
people in America's government, in our deep state were involved
in what has happened over the last ten years, and
how it got to this point and their blood. There
is blood on their hands. I think it's very dirty,
(07:48):
very dirty, filthy, and it's America's treasure. They've tried to
drag your son's in, They've tried to drag your son's
into this war. And at one point, if you remember,
there was a veiled threat you will either give Ukraine money.
Democrats were saying this on the fourth Senate. You will
(08:10):
either give Ukraine money or you will send your son.
What kind of threat is that.
Speaker 11 (08:19):
Four out of five features surveyed said listening to the
Michael Barry Show podcast improved their love life. The fifth
person didn't deserve one. Anyway.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
You could say, I'm just a good old boy, dip
them the batter country Friday, washed in the blood and wrapped.
Speaker 9 (08:46):
In calm or flushed, A staunch defender.
Speaker 11 (08:50):
Of the right sided.
Speaker 9 (08:53):
I grew up a customed to the rebel flag.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Under the shadow of the crawl.
Speaker 11 (09:01):
Down weather colors now the next to the way.
Speaker 8 (09:05):
And some folks are still mad.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Because the sound as.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
But I'm a good.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Hearted, free faking sun I'd sound trash man.
Speaker 6 (09:17):
Elamsky so offended Donald Trump today that Trump kicked him
out of the White House without lunch, no soup for Ukraine.
Go home, Go home, go to your room and think
(09:40):
about your actions. And you can come back with your
tail between your legs, and you can apologize, and you
can thank us, and you can accept a deal that
will save your country because you're not negotiating from a
position of strength, Raman, I'm gonna put this burden on you.
(10:04):
There are parts of that exchange we've not played yet,
and I don't know if you can queue it up
to that or not.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
I don't mind.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
Duplicating some of what we played already, because I think
Americans need to hear while they were working today what
their president was doing to represent them well. And I
think they'll be very proud of it. So I don't
care where you start. We'll we'll stop and start throughout,
but go ahead.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Well, if I didn't align myself with both of them,
you'd never have a deal.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
He want me to.
Speaker 10 (10:33):
Say really terrible things about Putin and then say, Hi, Vladimir,
how are we doing on the deal.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
That doesn't work that way. I'm not align with Putin.
I'm not aligned with anybody.
Speaker 10 (10:43):
I'm aligned with the United States of America and for
the good of the world.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
I'm aligned with the world, and I want to get
this thing over with. You see the hatred he's got
for a Putin. That's very tough for me to make
a deal with that kind of Hey, he's got tremendous
hatred and I understand that, but I can tell you
the other side is exactly.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
In love with you himy. There so a question of alignment.
I have to I'm aligned with the world. I want
to get the thing set. I'm aligned with Europe.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
I want to see if we can get this thing done.
You want me to be tough. I could be tougher
than any human being you've ever seen. I'd be so tough.
But you're never going to get a deal that way.
So that's the way it goes.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
One more question, I would respond to this.
Speaker 8 (11:26):
So look for four years of the United States of America,
we had a president who stood up at press conferences
and talked tough about Vladimir Putin, and then Putin invaded
Ukraine and destroyed a significant chunk of the country. The
path to peace and the path to prosperity is maybe
engaging in diplomacy. We tried the pathway of Joe Biden,
(11:47):
of thumping our chest and pretending that the President of
the United States's words mattered more than the President of
the United States's actions. What makes America a good country
is America engaging in diplomacy.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
That's what President Trump do it, can I ask you? Sure?
Speaker 8 (12:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Yeah, okay.
Speaker 12 (12:04):
So he occupied our big parts of Ukraine, parts of
East and Crimea. So he occupied it on twenty fourteen.
So during a lot of years, I'm not speaking about
ju just Biden, but those times was Obama, then President Obama,
(12:25):
then President Trump, then President Biden, now President Trump and
God bless now President Trump will stop him. But during
twenty fifteen, nobody stopped him. He just occupied and took
He killed people. You know what the contact twenty fifteen, twenty.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Twenty fourty, so how would he kills not here? Yeah,
by the said yes.
Speaker 12 (12:46):
But during twenty fourteen until twenty twenty two, yeah, what
the situation the same that people have been dying on
the contact line.
Speaker 9 (12:55):
Nobody stopped him.
Speaker 12 (12:57):
You know that we had conversations with him, a lot
of conversation, my plateral conversation.
Speaker 9 (13:02):
And we signed with him, me like can you president.
Speaker 12 (13:06):
In twenty nineteen, I signed with him the deal I
signed with him.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Macron and Mary Keill, we signed ceasefire, ceasefire.
Speaker 9 (13:15):
All of them told me that he will never go.
Speaker 12 (13:19):
We signed with him with guest contract, guess contract, yes,
But after that he broken the seas fire, he killed
a white people and he didn't exchange prisoners. We signed
the exchange.
Speaker 9 (13:31):
Of prisoners, but he didn't do it.
Speaker 12 (13:34):
What kind of diplomacy ggus came about, what do you
what do you mean?
Speaker 8 (13:39):
I'm talking about the kind of diplomacy that's going to
end the destruction of your country. But mister President, mister President,
with respect, I think it's disrespectful for you to come
into the Oval Office to try to litigate this in
front of the American media. Right now, you guys are
going around and forcing conscripts to the front lines because
you have manpower problems. You should be thanking the president
for trying to bring it into this.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Conflict into Ukraine. That do you say, what problems we have?
Speaker 8 (14:02):
I have been to I've actually I've actually watched and
seen the stories, and I know what happens is you
bring people, you bring them on.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
A propaganda tour.
Speaker 8 (14:12):
Mister president, are do you disagree that you've had problems
bringing people in your military?
Speaker 9 (14:17):
And do you think that it's respectful once to come
to the Oval.
Speaker 8 (14:20):
Office of the United States of America and attack the
administration that is trying to try to prevent the destruction
of your country a.
Speaker 9 (14:26):
Lot of questions.
Speaker 12 (14:27):
Let's start from the beginning.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Sure, first wall.
Speaker 9 (14:29):
During the war, everybody has problems, even you.
Speaker 12 (14:33):
But you have nice ocean and don't feel now, but
you will feel it in diffusion.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I'm blessed. I'm blessed. You don't tell us what we're
going to feel.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
We're trying to solve a problem. Don't tell us what
we're going to feel.
Speaker 9 (14:47):
I'm not telling you because you're in no position.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
To dictate that.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
You're in no position to dictate what we're going to feel.
Speaker 9 (14:55):
We're going to feel very good, feel influenced.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
We're gonna feel very good and very strong.
Speaker 9 (15:00):
A fell influence.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
You're right now not in a very good position.
Speaker 10 (15:03):
You've allowed you to be in a very bad position
that he's happened to be right about the very beginning
of the war.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Not in a good position. You don't have the cards
right now with us. You start having right now.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
This is a very important part. Trump is saying to
him that which is not said in public and needs
to be. This is Trump laying it all out there.
You are not in a strong position. You're going to
accept a deal you don't want because it's better than
your country. Eventually being destroyed. And that's what JD just
(15:39):
told you, and it's true.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Keep going.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
You're gambling with your lives, and millions of people see
you're gambling with World War three.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
You're gambling with World War three.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
And what you're doing is very disrespectful to the country,
this country that's back to you. Far more than a
lot of people say where they should have.
Speaker 13 (16:01):
Have you said thank you once this entire meeting.
Speaker 8 (16:03):
No, in this entire meeting that you said thank you
to You went to Pennsylvania and campaigned for the opposition
in October. Offer some words of appreciation for the United
States of America and the president who's trying to save
your country.
Speaker 9 (16:18):
Please, you're seeing that. If you will speak, we're loudly
about the warrior.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
He's not speaking loudly. He's not speaking loudly.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Your country is in big trouble. No, No, you've done
a lot of talking. Your country is in big trouble.
I know you're not winning. You're not winning this. You
have a damn good chance of coming out Okay, because of.
Speaker 12 (16:37):
The President, we are staying inawa country, staying strong. From
the very beginning of the war, we've been alone and
we have thankle I said, thanks, you haven't been giving it.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
He gave you, stupid president, three hundred and fifty billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
You will we gave you.
Speaker 11 (16:52):
Listen to the Michael Berry Show podcast if you dare, all.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
Right, I'm gonna cut in early because I don't want
to run out of time.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
I want to make sure the entirety.
Speaker 6 (17:14):
Of meeting today is aired.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
What Trump did.
Speaker 6 (17:20):
Let me tell you why he did this is Zolensky
keeps coming into these meetings with Trump and Trump's people,
and he comes in.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Very diplomatic, very hospitable, very happy.
Speaker 6 (17:40):
Demure almost and charming, and he says, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
we wouldn't you do that. And then he goes out
and he says, I told Donald Trump that we wouldn't
stand for this, and we wouldn't stand for that. And
Trump's had enough of it. So rather than let him
play that game again, he said, I'm going to tell
(18:02):
him I'm doing a deal with Putin. He can be
part of it and make it better for him in
his country, or I can do the deal with Putin
and his country gets left out and he gets crushed.
But we're doing a deal. We're ending the war. Period
in the story. So how it fires for his country
(18:23):
is going to depend on him changing course and making
better decisions. And I'm going to do it in front
of the cameras. So now this deceitful little punk that
he is can't go off and lie because the whole meeting,
from start to finish, was on camera. And then he
(18:43):
kicks him out. When Zelensky starts mouthing off, he kicks
him off. He kicks him out. No soup for Ukraine,
none get out now the pool reports suggest, and in fact,
there are folks who've told me this that Zelenski was
(19:09):
begging to stay. He was kicked out, and he was
begging to stay. Now that part's not captured on camera
because it's down the hallways. You know, first time I
ever went to India with my wife, she had just
(19:30):
come here as a college student and I was going
there for the first time, and we would go to
these shops in a place called Cannot Place in New Delhi,
and it's where a lot of tourists go. And there's
kind of three different prices at an Indian shop in
a tourist location. One is the locals price. So if
(19:52):
you walk in and you live and work in India
and you're buying something to put on yourself. Let's say
at the time, the item would cost twenty rupees. The
second price is the price for Indians who've gone abroad
and come back. Well, they know you're earning in dollars,
and they know twenty rupees is a couple of pennies
for you. So for you, they're going to price the
(20:14):
same item at fifty rupees. And then the third price
is the white American price. And that might be one
hundred and fifty rupees, but most Americans would say, or
even Europeans.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Well, that's so chistill.
Speaker 6 (20:30):
Just a couple of bucks for this, Yeah, I'll pay that,
So you don't really care that you're paying way more
than the locals paid because it's still so cheap for
what you're getting. So that you know, kind of is established. Well,
my wife won't have that. She can't have that. No,
that is insulting to her. And she's just come to
(20:51):
the United States. In her mind, she's going to pay
the local price because she was just a local in
India a couple of days ago in her mind. So
we would go in and she would say, don't come
near me. Don't look at me when you like something.
You don't remember what she said. Put your handkerchief over it,
(21:12):
or pull it out, or turn it upside down or
whatever it was.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
And then you leave.
Speaker 6 (21:19):
And I'll go buy it. After you leave, I'll negotiate
the deal because it'll cost a lot more of you
buy it. So a shop owner cotton onto what we
were doing, and she goes to buy the item, and
I'm waiting outside and they're going.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.
Speaker 6 (21:36):
And I really wanted this item, and it was cheap,
even at the American Guide price.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Right. Well, she comes marching out of the store with
a kind of.
Speaker 6 (21:46):
A peppinger step, and we walk a block down the street,
the shop owner all the way. Madam, please, I give
for the one hundred one hundred rupees, but.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Please you please come back, please madam, you must help.
Speaker 6 (21:59):
Please madam you want to please, I will give it.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
I'll give it sixty rupees.
Speaker 6 (22:04):
Well, a local would have paid twenty. It should have
been way less than that in her mind for her,
but she went from Nope, won't have it, not gonna
do it?
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Please matda'mt please you please you please come on, come on,
be back, come on, please help me out it, come.
Speaker 6 (22:19):
On, on on, And all of a sudden, she went from
I'm not doing it. You've insulted me. I'm not doing it.
I don't want it to pop. She turned on a
dime and went back and said I'll buy it, walk back,
paid for it, walked out. That was a lesson in
negotiation to me. Interestingly, Americans do not on American soil,
(22:42):
and thank God for it. We don't like to dicker
over prices the way other countries do. You go to
a third world country, you're gonna go in there and
battle over everything. Everything is a battle. I find it exhausting.
Unless you're willing to overpay, they're gonna just battle you
over it, and they love the battle. It becomes part
(23:03):
of their culture. Makes some very combative people. I'd rather
just go into the store.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
That's the price.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
And there's Americans that'll go in and they'll you know,
they love to tell you know, you can go. You
can go to the applying store and you can pay
less than the price. If you're willing to do this
and fight with them and do it, that's okay. That's
doesn't interest me. Trump understands this type of negotiation. And
what Trump is doing here by kicking Zelenski out, I
(23:32):
think he intended to kick him out. I think he
intended to provoke the fight and then kick him out.
And now Zelensky's got nothing, and I think Trump next
will have a meeting with Putin and Zelensky's on the
outside looking in. And just like the Mexican president talk
big and then turned, and and Trudeau talked big and
(23:53):
then turned, and then Venezuela talked big and then turn
remember or was it Columbia. I think what you're going
to see is Zelensky going, oh, this is a different ballgame.
I've got to change my tactics. And he comes running
back and we have a deal in short order. And
(24:16):
make no mistake, Trump wants a deal.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
He wants the.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
War over because it's wasteful, it's wasteful to the American taxpayer,
and frankly, it's dangerous to the world. And by the
way it seems to get lost in all this, there
are young men in Ukraine and Russia who are dying
on the battlefield of a war that neither will win.
(24:42):
Lives that will be lost forever, mothers that have to
bury their boys. This is terrible. We should care about that,
and Trump does. And what we're going to witness now
is a master class in negotiation. The difficulty in negotiation
(25:02):
is getting someone else to do something that they don't
want to do and you want them to do. And look,
there are entire courses taught on this, there are careers
built on this. How do you get someone else to
do what you want them to do when they don't
want to do what you want them to do. How
do you get them to bend to your will? One
(25:23):
way as you overpower them with strength. One way is
you destroy them if they don't. One way is you
show them that there is an upside to them doing it,
and now they revalue Hey, you know, maybe ending the
war is better than continuing the war. Whatever that may be.
Doing what I want you to do may not be
(25:45):
what you want to do, but it's going to be
way better than what you're going to do if you
don't do what I want you to do.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
And I think that's where we are right.
Speaker 5 (25:57):
He just shows me what it's like to be, you know,
a real man. I have never met someone so wonderful.
I call him Ritter Michael Berry.
Speaker 6 (26:41):
Well that song segnals the beginning of our last segment
of the week, except for the folks in Houston. Folks
in Houston get a replay of our morning show right
after our evening show. So if you're a Houston listener
and didn't know that, hang around because there'll be more
Michael Berry Show coming up. It's also the case that
(27:03):
if you want more of our show, every show we
do five hours a day is posted to our podcast,
and if you miss something, or if you don't get
all five hours, you can always listen whenever you like,
on demand free wherever you get your podcasts, iTunes, iHeart,
whatever your platform, you can always get it there. You
(27:26):
can get every one of our shows, and they go
back a little ways. You can read and pick and
choose which shows seem interesting to you and listen to those.
We also do a Saturday podcast, which is a special
and unique show that is only for the podcast. And
what we tend to do is as we're swapping ideas
(27:49):
and producing and talking during the week, there will be
things that don't fit into the radio broadcast schedule. They're
too long, and to cut them up would sap them
of their flare or their meaning. Or their import So
we will choose one of those and play it on
a Saturday. Sometimes that's a Thomas Soul lecture. Sometimes it's
(28:12):
Milton Friedman lecture.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
This week it's the Duke Lacrosse.
Speaker 6 (28:16):
Documentary that's come out, and it will challenge a lot
of things that you may have thought you knew about
that case that now have emerged and will shock you
and infuriate you. And they will go back to the
central premise is always question the narrative. Remember that whatever
(28:38):
the media is telling you is filtered through their own
politics and agenda, and that is always white people bad,
Black people good, unless the white people are liberals, and
in which case the white people have subjugated themselves to
the black people in service of the black people. So
you must put those white people, the liberal whites, You
(28:59):
must put them in charge, because they are the ultimate
white people. There are a lot of other things men,
bad women, good, abortion is healthcare, sanctifying life.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Is creepy and weird and hurtful, all.
Speaker 6 (29:17):
Of these sorts of things. You just have to remember
to question everything. And tomorrow's documentary we'll do that on
the Saturday Podcast.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
A Crazy Story. In our last segment, here.
Speaker 6 (29:28):
For no reason other than I was in Las Vegas
last week and then this story pops. And it's sort
of interesting because when they say what happens in Vegas
stays in Vegas, there's a lot of things that happen
in Vegas that people participate in and they go home
and they never participate in that again. But that's kind
(29:49):
of why they went to Vegas. A Las Vegas woman
was arrested for using a dating app to lure older
men in Oh, she likes me, She really likes me.
You're three hundred pounds and seventy years old. She's gorgeous.
In twenty three, she likes something, but it ain't you.
(30:10):
It's in your back pocket, or you can check it online.
It's your bank account. She would lure them in and
then drug them and rob them, but some of the
men ended up dying. Well, she has no shame. She
tried to liquidate thirty million dollars in stock from one victim.
(30:35):
I mean, this girl, she shoots for the stars.
Speaker 7 (30:37):
Federal investigators here at the FBI say they believe this
woman lured men in their sixties and seventies on dating sites.
They say she then took them over to Mexico, and
they believe she may be responsible for several of their deaths.
Speaker 13 (30:51):
We believe Aurora Phelps deliberately and methodically targeted older men
to drug them and steal from them.
Speaker 7 (30:57):
Federal officials announcing the unsealing of charges Friday against forty
three year old a Rura Phelps, a woman with Las
Vegas ties, accused of drugging men and women and stealing
from them.
Speaker 13 (31:08):
Once she incapacitated her victims, Phelps stole their cars, access
their bank and brokerage accounts to withdraw cash, use their
credit cards to make a variety of purchases, including luxury,
retail goods, and gold, and even attempted to access their
social security and retirement accounts.
Speaker 7 (31:25):
In one case, Phelps allegedly attempted to liquidate three million
dollars in stock. Similar schemes are called romance scams, where
a person lures another on the basis of love, but
then becomes a victim of a financial crime.
Speaker 13 (31:39):
To David's point, yes, this is technically a romance scam,
but this is a romance scam on steroids.
Speaker 7 (31:43):
The FBI nor the US Attorney's Office would elaborate on
how long Phelps lived here, but they say at least
four of her victims are from our area, including one
man they say Phelps took over the border. That man
later died in a Mexican hotel room. Investigators believe at
least two more died from Phelps's acts, and they suspect
there could be more.
Speaker 13 (32:02):
We believe that she likely encountered other individuals who would
have key information and evidence for us, or the potentially
have a family member that was also.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Victimized by her crazy.
Speaker 6 (32:12):
Well, we haven't paid tribute to Gene Hackman yet, so
why don't we close the show with a montage of
Gene Hackman? And this was created by an account on
Twitter called the Sting And Yeah, I think it's pretty good,
(32:34):
So we'll take it to break.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
On that rip Gene Hackman.
Speaker 6 (32:37):
Obviously they're talking about the details seem very.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Odd as to his death.
Speaker 6 (32:42):
He lived a full life well into his nineties and incredible,
incredible accomplishments.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
However that may be the case.
Speaker 6 (32:51):
I choose to focus on his happy times and his work,
which I think was his love and dead gumming.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
He was good at it.
Speaker 11 (33:02):
All right.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Put by there, Bill bill Well, I thought that you
were dead well, I even thought I was dead. How
I found out it was just that I was in Nebraska.
He saved my life.
Speaker 9 (33:15):
Thirty years ago I was knife in the bazaar in Calcutta.
He carried me to the hospital on his back.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
You stab me, he did.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Ray look at me? Why didn't you take him? Look
at that?
Speaker 3 (33:30):
So you might as well back up your bags to
hit your hands on the back up before.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
You belong for the cow and you get this straight, kicker.
Speaker 8 (33:39):
Don't you go mistaken me for some whole other body.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Wait a toast a long friendship? Tell me true? Is
she good as she looks? She's better? Do they know me?
Speaker 8 (33:59):
Who is?
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Do they know me?
Speaker 11 (34:01):
I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 6 (34:05):
You continue upon this course and insist upon this launch
without confirming this message.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
First, I won't be shaping the ball act by.
Speaker 8 (34:10):
The rules of President, Captain, commander and all come regulation
I or you ain't going to wait at charge them
maybe regulations.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
I say, Okay, I order you commit camp.
Speaker 11 (34:21):
I need arrest.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
I'm not charge of mutiny.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Ste's about when I was six years old, my father
said to me, get out, get it. You got a
stupid smile. You know what can you see it.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Where did I get a fight for?
Speaker 2 (34:38):
I don't fight against that. They are doll How many
worst taper fighters, how much more brunt?
Speaker 6 (34:51):
If you put your effort, in concentration, into play to
your potential to be the best that you can be.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
I don't care what the scoreboard says at the end
of the game. In my book, we're gonna be winners.
Speaker 12 (35:01):
M ladies and gentleman, all us has left good building,
Thank you, and good night.

by some that's downright undemocratic.

Two six packs, shiner, ninety nine cent, putet ladder, lucky
strack center, fifth of patrol, ice down, attig, glue cooler.
Speaker 2 (00:46):

twelve hours.
Speaker 7 (01:37):
A day, and they ain't getting you drucked.
Speaker 1 (01:39):
And the last rang one or two beards.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Three blocks in a rack top Mustang followed us down

Skinny dipping in the bright moonlight situation couldn't be more ride.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
Seat belt when you're driving. Christ you, we're gonna become
this contry.
Speaker 6 (02:37):
Who well, I don't know where we were in the audio.
I don't think I've ever used.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
A clip of audio.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
Just much in one show. And while we're at it,
I don't think I've ever been more proud of my
president in my lifetime. Were the United States of America,
By God, you will act like it. I remember when
(03:18):
the Mexican president came to the House of Representatives and
the Democrats were in the majority. Pelosi was the speaker,
and he gave an address. It was broadcast to the nation,
and he talked about us like we were dogs. He
insulted us, he was demanding, he was insulting, he was rude,
(03:46):
and then they stood up and gave him a standing ovation.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
Sickening.
Speaker 6 (03:56):
I have watched this nonsense many times, Zelenski doing interviews
where he says one thing to Trump and says another
to the media, where he talks about the United States, says,
you know they will.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Help me or there'll be a third war, third World war.
Speaker 6 (04:16):
You don't dictate to us like that. That's not happening.
And for Trump and JD. Vans to light him up, man,
I don't know where you were in the audio ramon
at the risk of some things replay, Why don't we
(04:36):
catch it? Why don't we start where we are? And
if we need to forward? I just want folks to
hear this. It's a great moment and it deserves to
be amplified.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
A lot of questions. Let's start from the bigin sure fist.
Speaker 9 (04:46):
Wall during the war, everybody has problems, even you, but
you have nice ocean and don't feel now, but you
will feel it in the fusion.
Speaker 2 (04:57):
I'd bless you. I bless You're not your war. Tell
us what we're gonna feel.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
We're trying to solve a problem, don't tell us what
we're going to feel.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
I'm not telling you, because you're in no position to
dictate that what we're doing.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
You're in no position to dictate what we're going to feel.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
We're gonna feel very good, feel influence.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
We're gonna feel very good and very strong, feel influenced.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
You're right now, not in a very good position.
Speaker 10 (05:21):
You've allowed you to be in a very bad position
that he's happened to be right about the very beginning
of the war.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Not in a good position. You don't have the cards
right now with us.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
You start having right now, you don't explains apread. You're
gambling with their lives, and millions of people see you're
gambling with World War three. You're gambling with World War three.
And what you're doing is very disrespectful to the country,
this country that's back to you. Far more than a
(05:51):
lot of people said they should have.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Have you said thank you once.
Speaker 8 (05:56):
Know in this entire meeting that you said f You
went to pencil and campaign for the opposition in October.
Offer some words of appreciation for the United States of
America and the president who's trying to save your country.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
That needed to be said. You think we've forgotten.
Speaker 6 (06:17):
You went to Pennsylvania to campaign for Kamala Harris in October,
right before the election. When you take a shot at
the king, you better not miss.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
And you missed. Your better play was to pull back.
Speaker 6 (06:37):
So that you could be friends with either one, because
you rely on the American treasury to keep from being conquered.
And I'll be very clear, I do not mind Putin
rolling the tanks through Kiev. And if you want to
tell me your family's Ukrainian or whatever.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Other, that's fine. That's your position.
Speaker 6 (07:05):
I have mine. I think that is a corrupt state,
no less corrupt than Russia, no less evil than Russia.
And I think that little dictator is himself corrupt. And
I think, and I'm pretty certain Trump wants to blow
the whistle on this. I think he will blow the
(07:26):
whistle on how this whole thing happened, and how many
people in America's government, in our deep state were involved
in what has happened over the last ten years, and
how it got to this point and their blood. There
is blood on their hands. I think it's very dirty,
(07:48):
very dirty, filthy, and it's America's treasure. They've tried to
drag your son's in, They've tried to drag your son's
into this war. And at one point, if you remember,
there was a veiled threat you will either give Ukraine money.
Democrats were saying this on the fourth Senate. You will
(08:10):
either give Ukraine money or you will send your son.
What kind of threat is that.
Speaker 11 (08:19):
Four out of five features surveyed said listening to the
Michael Barry Show podcast improved their love life. The fifth
person didn't deserve one. Anyway.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
You could say, I'm just a good old boy, dip
them the batter country Friday, washed in the blood and wrapped.
Speaker 9 (08:46):
In calm or flushed, A staunch defender.
Speaker 11 (08:50):
Of the right sided.
Speaker 9 (08:53):
I grew up a customed to the rebel flag.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Under the shadow of the crawl.
Speaker 11 (09:01):
Down weather colors now the next to the way.
Speaker 8 (09:05):
And some folks are still mad.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Because the sound as.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
But I'm a good.
Speaker 4 (09:12):
Hearted, free faking sun I'd sound trash man.
Speaker 6 (09:17):
Elamsky so offended Donald Trump today that Trump kicked him
out of the White House without lunch, no soup for Ukraine.
Go home, Go home, go to your room and think
(09:40):
about your actions. And you can come back with your
tail between your legs, and you can apologize, and you
can thank us, and you can accept a deal that
will save your country because you're not negotiating from a
position of strength, Raman, I'm gonna put this burden on you.
(10:04):
There are parts of that exchange we've not played yet,
and I don't know if you can queue it up
to that or not.
Speaker 1 (10:10):
I don't mind.
Speaker 6 (10:11):
Duplicating some of what we played already, because I think
Americans need to hear while they were working today what
their president was doing to represent them well. And I
think they'll be very proud of it. So I don't
care where you start. We'll we'll stop and start throughout,
but go ahead.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Well, if I didn't align myself with both of them,
you'd never have a deal.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
He want me to.
Speaker 10 (10:33):
Say really terrible things about Putin and then say, Hi, Vladimir,
how are we doing on the deal.
Speaker 2 (10:39):
That doesn't work that way. I'm not align with Putin.
I'm not aligned with anybody.
Speaker 10 (10:43):
I'm aligned with the United States of America and for
the good of the world.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
I'm aligned with the world, and I want to get
this thing over with. You see the hatred he's got
for a Putin. That's very tough for me to make
a deal with that kind of Hey, he's got tremendous
hatred and I understand that, but I can tell you
the other side is exactly.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
In love with you himy. There so a question of alignment.
I have to I'm aligned with the world. I want
to get the thing set. I'm aligned with Europe.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
I want to see if we can get this thing done.
You want me to be tough. I could be tougher
than any human being you've ever seen. I'd be so tough.
But you're never going to get a deal that way.
So that's the way it goes.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
One more question, I would respond to this.
Speaker 8 (11:26):
So look for four years of the United States of America,
we had a president who stood up at press conferences
and talked tough about Vladimir Putin, and then Putin invaded
Ukraine and destroyed a significant chunk of the country. The
path to peace and the path to prosperity is maybe
engaging in diplomacy. We tried the pathway of Joe Biden,
(11:47):
of thumping our chest and pretending that the President of
the United States's words mattered more than the President of
the United States's actions. What makes America a good country
is America engaging in diplomacy.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
That's what President Trump do it, can I ask you? Sure?
Speaker 8 (12:02):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:03):
Yeah, okay.
Speaker 12 (12:04):
So he occupied our big parts of Ukraine, parts of
East and Crimea. So he occupied it on twenty fourteen.
So during a lot of years, I'm not speaking about
ju just Biden, but those times was Obama, then President Obama,
(12:25):
then President Trump, then President Biden, now President Trump and
God bless now President Trump will stop him. But during
twenty fifteen, nobody stopped him. He just occupied and took
He killed people. You know what the contact twenty fifteen, twenty.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Twenty fourty, so how would he kills not here? Yeah,
by the said yes.
Speaker 12 (12:46):
But during twenty fourteen until twenty twenty two, yeah, what
the situation the same that people have been dying on
the contact line.
Speaker 9 (12:55):
Nobody stopped him.
Speaker 12 (12:57):
You know that we had conversations with him, a lot
of conversation, my plateral conversation.
Speaker 9 (13:02):
And we signed with him, me like can you president.
Speaker 12 (13:06):
In twenty nineteen, I signed with him the deal I
signed with him.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
Macron and Mary Keill, we signed ceasefire, ceasefire.
Speaker 9 (13:15):
All of them told me that he will never go.
Speaker 12 (13:19):
We signed with him with guest contract, guess contract, yes,
But after that he broken the seas fire, he killed
a white people and he didn't exchange prisoners. We signed
the exchange.
Speaker 9 (13:31):
Of prisoners, but he didn't do it.
Speaker 12 (13:34):
What kind of diplomacy ggus came about, what do you
what do you mean?
Speaker 8 (13:39):
I'm talking about the kind of diplomacy that's going to
end the destruction of your country. But mister President, mister President,
with respect, I think it's disrespectful for you to come
into the Oval Office to try to litigate this in
front of the American media. Right now, you guys are
going around and forcing conscripts to the front lines because
you have manpower problems. You should be thanking the president
for trying to bring it into this.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
Conflict into Ukraine. That do you say, what problems we have?
Speaker 8 (14:02):
I have been to I've actually I've actually watched and
seen the stories, and I know what happens is you
bring people, you bring them on.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
A propaganda tour.
Speaker 8 (14:12):
Mister president, are do you disagree that you've had problems
bringing people in your military?
Speaker 9 (14:17):
And do you think that it's respectful once to come
to the Oval.
Speaker 8 (14:20):
Office of the United States of America and attack the
administration that is trying to try to prevent the destruction
of your country a.
Speaker 9 (14:26):
Lot of questions.
Speaker 12 (14:27):
Let's start from the beginning.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
Sure, first wall.
Speaker 9 (14:29):
During the war, everybody has problems, even you.
Speaker 12 (14:33):
But you have nice ocean and don't feel now, but
you will feel it in diffusion.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I'm blessed. I'm blessed. You don't tell us what we're
going to feel.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
We're trying to solve a problem. Don't tell us what
we're going to feel.
Speaker 9 (14:47):
I'm not telling you because you're in no position.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
To dictate that.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
You're in no position to dictate what we're going to feel.
Speaker 9 (14:55):
We're going to feel very good, feel influenced.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
We're gonna feel very good and very strong.
Speaker 9 (15:00):
A fell influence.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
You're right now not in a very good position.
Speaker 10 (15:03):
You've allowed you to be in a very bad position
that he's happened to be right about the very beginning
of the war.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
Not in a good position. You don't have the cards
right now with us. You start having right now.
Speaker 6 (15:18):
This is a very important part. Trump is saying to
him that which is not said in public and needs
to be. This is Trump laying it all out there.
You are not in a strong position. You're going to
accept a deal you don't want because it's better than
your country. Eventually being destroyed. And that's what JD just
(15:39):
told you, and it's true.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Keep going.
Speaker 3 (15:43):
You're gambling with your lives, and millions of people see
you're gambling with World War three.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
You're gambling with World War three.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
And what you're doing is very disrespectful to the country,
this country that's back to you. Far more than a
lot of people say where they should have.
Speaker 13 (16:01):
Have you said thank you once this entire meeting.
Speaker 8 (16:03):
No, in this entire meeting that you said thank you
to You went to Pennsylvania and campaigned for the opposition
in October. Offer some words of appreciation for the United
States of America and the president who's trying to save
your country.
Speaker 9 (16:18):
Please, you're seeing that. If you will speak, we're loudly
about the warrior.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
He's not speaking loudly. He's not speaking loudly.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Your country is in big trouble. No, No, you've done
a lot of talking. Your country is in big trouble.
I know you're not winning. You're not winning this. You
have a damn good chance of coming out Okay, because of.
Speaker 12 (16:37):
The President, we are staying inawa country, staying strong. From
the very beginning of the war, we've been alone and
we have thankle I said, thanks, you haven't been giving it.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
He gave you, stupid president, three hundred and fifty billion dollars.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
You will we gave you.
Speaker 11 (16:52):
Listen to the Michael Berry Show podcast if you dare, all.
Speaker 6 (17:10):
Right, I'm gonna cut in early because I don't want
to run out of time.
Speaker 1 (17:13):
I want to make sure the entirety.
Speaker 6 (17:14):
Of meeting today is aired.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
What Trump did.
Speaker 6 (17:20):
Let me tell you why he did this is Zolensky
keeps coming into these meetings with Trump and Trump's people,
and he comes in.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
Very diplomatic, very hospitable, very happy.
Speaker 6 (17:40):
Demure almost and charming, and he says, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
we wouldn't you do that. And then he goes out
and he says, I told Donald Trump that we wouldn't
stand for this, and we wouldn't stand for that. And
Trump's had enough of it. So rather than let him
play that game again, he said, I'm going to tell
(18:02):
him I'm doing a deal with Putin. He can be
part of it and make it better for him in
his country, or I can do the deal with Putin
and his country gets left out and he gets crushed.
But we're doing a deal. We're ending the war. Period
in the story. So how it fires for his country
(18:23):
is going to depend on him changing course and making
better decisions. And I'm going to do it in front
of the cameras. So now this deceitful little punk that
he is can't go off and lie because the whole meeting,
from start to finish, was on camera. And then he
(18:43):
kicks him out. When Zelensky starts mouthing off, he kicks
him off. He kicks him out. No soup for Ukraine,
none get out now the pool reports suggest, and in fact,
there are folks who've told me this that Zelenski was
(19:09):
begging to stay. He was kicked out, and he was
begging to stay. Now that part's not captured on camera
because it's down the hallways. You know, first time I
ever went to India with my wife, she had just
(19:30):
come here as a college student and I was going
there for the first time, and we would go to
these shops in a place called Cannot Place in New Delhi,
and it's where a lot of tourists go. And there's
kind of three different prices at an Indian shop in
a tourist location. One is the locals price. So if
(19:52):
you walk in and you live and work in India
and you're buying something to put on yourself. Let's say
at the time, the item would cost twenty rupees. The
second price is the price for Indians who've gone abroad
and come back. Well, they know you're earning in dollars,
and they know twenty rupees is a couple of pennies
for you. So for you, they're going to price the
(20:14):
same item at fifty rupees. And then the third price
is the white American price. And that might be one
hundred and fifty rupees, but most Americans would say, or
even Europeans.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Well, that's so chistill.
Speaker 6 (20:30):
Just a couple of bucks for this, Yeah, I'll pay that,
So you don't really care that you're paying way more
than the locals paid because it's still so cheap for
what you're getting. So that you know, kind of is established. Well,
my wife won't have that. She can't have that. No,
that is insulting to her. And she's just come to
(20:51):
the United States. In her mind, she's going to pay
the local price because she was just a local in
India a couple of days ago in her mind. So
we would go in and she would say, don't come
near me. Don't look at me when you like something.
You don't remember what she said. Put your handkerchief over it,
(21:12):
or pull it out, or turn it upside down or
whatever it was.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
And then you leave.
Speaker 6 (21:19):
And I'll go buy it. After you leave, I'll negotiate
the deal because it'll cost a lot more of you
buy it. So a shop owner cotton onto what we
were doing, and she goes to buy the item, and
I'm waiting outside and they're going.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.
Speaker 6 (21:36):
And I really wanted this item, and it was cheap,
even at the American Guide price.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Right. Well, she comes marching out of the store with
a kind of.
Speaker 6 (21:46):
A peppinger step, and we walk a block down the street,
the shop owner all the way. Madam, please, I give
for the one hundred one hundred rupees, but.
Speaker 1 (21:57):
Please you please come back, please madam, you must help.
Speaker 6 (21:59):
Please madam you want to please, I will give it.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
I'll give it sixty rupees.
Speaker 6 (22:04):
Well, a local would have paid twenty. It should have
been way less than that in her mind for her,
but she went from Nope, won't have it, not gonna
do it?
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Please matda'mt please you please you please come on, come on,
be back, come on, please help me out it, come.
Speaker 6 (22:19):
On, on on, And all of a sudden, she went from
I'm not doing it. You've insulted me. I'm not doing it.
I don't want it to pop. She turned on a
dime and went back and said I'll buy it, walk back,
paid for it, walked out. That was a lesson in
negotiation to me. Interestingly, Americans do not on American soil,
(22:42):
and thank God for it. We don't like to dicker
over prices the way other countries do. You go to
a third world country, you're gonna go in there and
battle over everything. Everything is a battle. I find it exhausting.
Unless you're willing to overpay, they're gonna just battle you
over it, and they love the battle. It becomes part
(23:03):
of their culture. Makes some very combative people. I'd rather
just go into the store.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
That's the price.
Speaker 6 (23:08):
And there's Americans that'll go in and they'll you know,
they love to tell you know, you can go. You
can go to the applying store and you can pay
less than the price. If you're willing to do this
and fight with them and do it, that's okay. That's
doesn't interest me. Trump understands this type of negotiation. And
what Trump is doing here by kicking Zelenski out, I
(23:32):
think he intended to kick him out. I think he
intended to provoke the fight and then kick him out.
And now Zelensky's got nothing, and I think Trump next
will have a meeting with Putin and Zelensky's on the
outside looking in. And just like the Mexican president talk
big and then turned, and and Trudeau talked big and
(23:53):
then turned, and then Venezuela talked big and then turn
remember or was it Columbia. I think what you're going
to see is Zelensky going, oh, this is a different ballgame.
I've got to change my tactics. And he comes running
back and we have a deal in short order. And
(24:16):
make no mistake, Trump wants a deal.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
He wants the.
Speaker 6 (24:22):
War over because it's wasteful, it's wasteful to the American taxpayer,
and frankly, it's dangerous to the world. And by the
way it seems to get lost in all this, there
are young men in Ukraine and Russia who are dying
on the battlefield of a war that neither will win.
(24:42):
Lives that will be lost forever, mothers that have to
bury their boys. This is terrible. We should care about that,
and Trump does. And what we're going to witness now
is a master class in negotiation. The difficulty in negotiation
(25:02):
is getting someone else to do something that they don't
want to do and you want them to do. And look,
there are entire courses taught on this, there are careers
built on this. How do you get someone else to
do what you want them to do when they don't
want to do what you want them to do. How
do you get them to bend to your will? One
(25:23):
way as you overpower them with strength. One way is
you destroy them if they don't. One way is you
show them that there is an upside to them doing it,
and now they revalue Hey, you know, maybe ending the
war is better than continuing the war. Whatever that may be.
Doing what I want you to do may not be
(25:45):
what you want to do, but it's going to be
way better than what you're going to do if you
don't do what I want you to do.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
And I think that's where we are right.
Speaker 5 (25:57):
He just shows me what it's like to be, you know,
a real man. I have never met someone so wonderful.
I call him Ritter Michael Berry.
Speaker 6 (26:41):
Well that song segnals the beginning of our last segment
of the week, except for the folks in Houston. Folks
in Houston get a replay of our morning show right
after our evening show. So if you're a Houston listener
and didn't know that, hang around because there'll be more
Michael Berry Show coming up. It's also the case that
(27:03):
if you want more of our show, every show we
do five hours a day is posted to our podcast,
and if you miss something, or if you don't get
all five hours, you can always listen whenever you like,
on demand free wherever you get your podcasts, iTunes, iHeart,
whatever your platform, you can always get it there. You
(27:26):
can get every one of our shows, and they go
back a little ways. You can read and pick and
choose which shows seem interesting to you and listen to those.
We also do a Saturday podcast, which is a special
and unique show that is only for the podcast. And
what we tend to do is as we're swapping ideas
(27:49):
and producing and talking during the week, there will be
things that don't fit into the radio broadcast schedule. They're
too long, and to cut them up would sap them
of their flare or their meaning. Or their import So
we will choose one of those and play it on
a Saturday. Sometimes that's a Thomas Soul lecture. Sometimes it's
(28:12):
Milton Friedman lecture.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
This week it's the Duke Lacrosse.
Speaker 6 (28:16):
Documentary that's come out, and it will challenge a lot
of things that you may have thought you knew about
that case that now have emerged and will shock you
and infuriate you. And they will go back to the
central premise is always question the narrative. Remember that whatever
(28:38):
the media is telling you is filtered through their own
politics and agenda, and that is always white people bad,
Black people good, unless the white people are liberals, and
in which case the white people have subjugated themselves to
the black people in service of the black people. So
you must put those white people, the liberal whites, You
(28:59):
must put them in charge, because they are the ultimate
white people. There are a lot of other things men,
bad women, good, abortion is healthcare, sanctifying life.
Speaker 1 (29:13):
Is creepy and weird and hurtful, all.
Speaker 6 (29:17):
Of these sorts of things. You just have to remember
to question everything. And tomorrow's documentary we'll do that on
the Saturday Podcast.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
A Crazy Story. In our last segment, here.
Speaker 6 (29:28):
For no reason other than I was in Las Vegas
last week and then this story pops. And it's sort
of interesting because when they say what happens in Vegas
stays in Vegas, there's a lot of things that happen
in Vegas that people participate in and they go home
and they never participate in that again. But that's kind
(29:49):
of why they went to Vegas. A Las Vegas woman
was arrested for using a dating app to lure older
men in Oh, she likes me, She really likes me.
You're three hundred pounds and seventy years old. She's gorgeous.
In twenty three, she likes something, but it ain't you.
(30:10):
It's in your back pocket, or you can check it online.
It's your bank account. She would lure them in and
then drug them and rob them, but some of the
men ended up dying. Well, she has no shame. She
tried to liquidate thirty million dollars in stock from one victim.
(30:35):
I mean, this girl, she shoots for the stars.
Speaker 7 (30:37):
Federal investigators here at the FBI say they believe this
woman lured men in their sixties and seventies on dating sites.
They say she then took them over to Mexico, and
they believe she may be responsible for several of their deaths.
Speaker 13 (30:51):
We believe Aurora Phelps deliberately and methodically targeted older men
to drug them and steal from them.
Speaker 7 (30:57):
Federal officials announcing the unsealing of charges Friday against forty
three year old a Rura Phelps, a woman with Las
Vegas ties, accused of drugging men and women and stealing
from them.
Speaker 13 (31:08):
Once she incapacitated her victims, Phelps stole their cars, access
their bank and brokerage accounts to withdraw cash, use their
credit cards to make a variety of purchases, including luxury,
retail goods, and gold, and even attempted to access their
social security and retirement accounts.
Speaker 7 (31:25):
In one case, Phelps allegedly attempted to liquidate three million
dollars in stock. Similar schemes are called romance scams, where
a person lures another on the basis of love, but
then becomes a victim of a financial crime.
Speaker 13 (31:39):
To David's point, yes, this is technically a romance scam,
but this is a romance scam on steroids.
Speaker 7 (31:43):
The FBI nor the US Attorney's Office would elaborate on
how long Phelps lived here, but they say at least
four of her victims are from our area, including one
man they say Phelps took over the border. That man
later died in a Mexican hotel room. Investigators believe at
least two more died from Phelps's acts, and they suspect
there could be more.
Speaker 13 (32:02):
We believe that she likely encountered other individuals who would
have key information and evidence for us, or the potentially
have a family member that was also.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Victimized by her crazy.
Speaker 6 (32:12):
Well, we haven't paid tribute to Gene Hackman yet, so
why don't we close the show with a montage of
Gene Hackman? And this was created by an account on
Twitter called the Sting And Yeah, I think it's pretty good,
(32:34):
So we'll take it to break.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
On that rip Gene Hackman.
Speaker 6 (32:37):
Obviously they're talking about the details seem very.
Speaker 1 (32:40):
Odd as to his death.
Speaker 6 (32:42):
He lived a full life well into his nineties and incredible,
incredible accomplishments.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
However that may be the case.
Speaker 6 (32:51):
I choose to focus on his happy times and his work,
which I think was his love and dead gumming.
Speaker 1 (32:58):
He was good at it.
Speaker 11 (33:02):
All right.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
Put by there, Bill bill Well, I thought that you
were dead well, I even thought I was dead. How
I found out it was just that I was in Nebraska.
He saved my life.
Speaker 9 (33:15):
Thirty years ago I was knife in the bazaar in Calcutta.
He carried me to the hospital on his back.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
You stab me, he did.
Speaker 2 (33:26):
Ray look at me? Why didn't you take him? Look
at that?
Speaker 3 (33:30):
So you might as well back up your bags to
hit your hands on the back up before.
Speaker 2 (33:34):
You belong for the cow and you get this straight, kicker.
Speaker 8 (33:39):
Don't you go mistaken me for some whole other body.
Speaker 2 (33:46):
Wait a toast a long friendship? Tell me true? Is
she good as she looks? She's better? Do they know me?
Speaker 8 (33:59):
Who is?
Speaker 2 (34:00):
Do they know me?
Speaker 11 (34:01):
I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 6 (34:05):
You continue upon this course and insist upon this launch
without confirming this message.
Speaker 1 (34:09):
First, I won't be shaping the ball act by.
Speaker 8 (34:10):
The rules of President, Captain, commander and all come regulation
I or you ain't going to wait at charge them
maybe regulations.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
I say, Okay, I order you commit camp.
Speaker 11 (34:21):
I need arrest.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
I'm not charge of mutiny.
Speaker 2 (34:25):
Ste's about when I was six years old, my father
said to me, get out, get it. You got a
stupid smile. You know what can you see it.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
Where did I get a fight for?
Speaker 2 (34:38):
I don't fight against that. They are doll How many
worst taper fighters, how much more brunt?
Speaker 6 (34:51):
If you put your effort, in concentration, into play to
your potential to be the best that you can be.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
I don't care what the scoreboard says at the end
of the game. In my book, we're gonna be winners.
Speaker 12 (35:01):
M ladies and gentleman, all us has left good building,
Thank you, and good night.
