So we see I was ware for We see you

Speaker 1 (01:19):
Well. President Trump brought the heat last night. As you
might imagine. What I thought we'd do is for a
little while. At least get your perspective on his remarks. Now,
before you call, think about this. Your immediate reaction was
(01:43):
I love it, they needed it, he was great. Whatever, Okay,
all right, that doesn't advance the conversation. But if you
found yourself watching and listening and thought to yourself, you
know what he's doing. You know why he said that.
You know, I notice something. I wonder if other people noticed.
(02:04):
I noticed something new about his tone, something different. I
noticed that he brought something up that at first I
wondered why he did it, and then it hit me.
If you have a remark that advances our understanding of
last night, Congress is dumb. Trump's great, doesn't do that,
then I'd like to hear from you seven one three
(02:26):
nine nine one thousand, seven one three nine one thousand.
Very exciting news. We have a new Secret Service agent
from right here in Houston, actually from Parland, and he's
thirteen years old. His name is DJ Daniel. He's been
(02:47):
battling cancer, but I can tell you he went to
bed the happiest kid in America last night.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Joining us at the gallery tonight is a young man
who truly loves our police.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
His name is DJ Daniel.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
He is thirteen years old and he has always dreamed
of becoming a police officer. But in twenty eighteen, DJ
(03:47):
was diagnosed with brain cancer. The doctors gave him five
months at most to live. That was more than six
years ago. Since that time, DJ and his dad have
(04:20):
been on a quest to make his dream come true.
And DJ has been sworn in as an honorary law
enforcement officer.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Actually a number of times. Peace.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
The police love him, the police departments love him. And tonight, DJ,
We're going to do you the biggest honor of them all.
I am asking our new Secret Service Director, Sean Kurrn,
to officially make you an agent of the United States Secret.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Service right on, right on. My goodness alive, My goodness alive.
Even the people that hate Trump would have to admit
that's a good thing. That's a decent thing, that's an
(05:11):
honorable thing. Trump understands the art of the show that
kind of thing right there. Not only does that little
boy DJ Daniel feel great about that, that makes us
all feel good. I mean, wow, seven nine, nine, one thousand,
(05:37):
will have your calls coming up in just a moment.
I suspect somebody out there knows that little boy or
his family and can get him on the show for us.
And if that is the case, email us and give
us a number where we can reach him, or if
you're in contact with his mother or father. Probably well
(06:01):
he's on duty, yeah, protecting the president. He's Secret Service.
Now that's a good point, Ramo. Okay, well we'll see
if the President will give him a few minutes off
to do an interview about his new duties and responsibilities,
special training and things like that. So thirteen would be
seventh grade. Can you imagine when that kid goes back
to school. DJ's walking through the school. He got his
(06:26):
badge kind of clipped to his pants like I would
do huh. Yeah, he's got a taser strapped down. He's
wearing a suit all the time. Now, that's so awesome.
He's people are getting out of line and he's like, hey, hey, hey, hey,
there's no horse play. Come on, guys, let's go. Let's
(06:48):

you the details of where we're going to be. We

Speaker 1 (09:57):
Bead from your pushing me. You pusha. We'll talk about
al Green's antics, but I suspect somebody will have something
(10:18):
to say, so I will save my remarks for a
response to that. Let's start with Brian, then Leo, then Van,
then Trecy and on down the list and start back
over at the top seven one, three, nine, nine nine
or one thousand Brian Europe. Sir, hey, right, let me
(10:38):
ask you a question. Are you b r I A
N or b r y A N I as an? Okay,
that's but I just want to make sure he got
it right, because it's Brian, not Brian. I told him, Okay, Okay.
Sometimes he spells names. You know. I have a very
simple system which most people in society follow, which a
(10:59):
name like Willie w I l Y that's gonna be
a dude if it's a girl WI l I E.
Now that's not always accurate, but that's as close as
we can get if I'm reading a name to me
knowing the sex of the person.
Speaker 7 (11:12):
Well, Zara, I think a girl named Willie is a
little bit like a boy named Sue.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Well, it could be well played, well played, Brian. What
do you do for a living?
Speaker 7 (11:22):
Yes, sir, I work as a case manager at a
personal injury from here in Houston or Katie.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
And are you paralegal?
Speaker 7 (11:30):
Yeah, sort of, yes, sir.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Did you go to parallegal school?
Speaker 2 (11:35):
No?
Speaker 8 (11:35):
Sir?
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Do you get a piece of the case? I wish.
I don't know why you couldn't. I mean it doesn't
have to be. You know, if he's getting forty percent,
he doesn't have to give you, you know, a quarter
of that. I mean just a little, just a little spiff.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
No.
Speaker 7 (11:50):
They do very good to take care of me.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Do you get some sort of reward bonus? I get
to keep my job.
Speaker 7 (11:59):
That's how I've always looked at it.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
How have you been doing that?
Speaker 7 (12:04):
Coming up on ten years in May, sir?
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Where do you begin working on the case at intake
when it calls in?
Speaker 7 (12:11):
Yes, sir, from start to finish, send it out, records requests,
talking to police departments, finding out kind of what happened
for see what the investigation, all the lay into litigation,
and see it through to trial if need be.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Do you handle the first client contact or does the attorney?
Speaker 7 (12:29):
We actually have an intake staff that will handle that's
their first contact to go.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
So by the time it gets handed to you to
start working it up, there is a determination. We're going
to put some time and money into this. How man energy? Yes, sir? Okay, yes, sir?
Interesting you enjoy it? I love it?
Speaker 7 (12:45):
I guess take care of a lot of really really
good people.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
What is your favorite kind of case?
Speaker 7 (12:51):
So you know they can all be extremely interesting in
one way or another. You know, even a simple car rack,
believe it or not? Can you know have the craziest ran?
Speaker 1 (13:03):
If I ask what turns on? I don't want to
hear all women are pretty? Tell me what fetish is?
Come on?
Speaker 9 (13:11):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (13:11):
You know finding out that there's a lot more of
the story than initially meets.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
The eye, isn't that the truth?
Speaker 7 (13:16):
All right?
Speaker 1 (13:16):
What you call about my man?
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Well?
Speaker 7 (13:18):
HOI yeah, So I've got two observations about trump speech
last night. The first was he so this is a
masterclass in walking democrats to the edge and asking them
if they want to find out, and and and and
they could not even stand for a young man with
with with Breger, who survived brain cancer becoming an honorary
(13:40):
Secret Service agent. They couldn't stand for a young man
finding out he's going to West Point. They couldn't stand
for for Joscelyn Nunger right. They couldn't stand for Lake
and Riley and and and even when it came to
proceeding under the United States leadership for peace talks and Ukraine,
they still couldn't stand.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
And why do you think that is, Brian?
Speaker 7 (14:06):
I think it's a higher polarized climate in Washington. I
think anymore it's done for clickbait on social media, and
so it ends up being a little bit more like
idiocracy than what our family fathers intended.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Interesting, but you know, tell me what you think, Brian.
There are certain issues tariffs, for instance, criminal justice reform.
There are a lot of things where there really are
two sides, and no matter how you bang your head
(14:44):
against the wall, you're not gonna win over all of
the people, and in some cases maybe not even much
more than a majority. But there are certain issues I
feel that are relatively universal. And the list of things
you just stated are universal, the Jocelyn nunger A case,
the Lincoln Riley case. I think that closing the border,
(15:09):
you know, the Free Bert movement. Bert Harvey was in
jail over the weekend and he said what shocked him
was that every one of the inmates in there was
talking about the fact that they were happy that Trump
was deporting the illegals because the illegals were bad for America,
and that they felt that the illegals were causing problems
(15:30):
for the country and the fact that they were it
was taking longer to process them because all the illegals
were being processed in one big swell. They were okay
with that. So that was a pretty strong statement.
Speaker 7 (15:40):
I think, Yes, sir, I certainly think so as well.
It's again, you know, it's one of those hyper polarized
subjects that you know, again, if you are willing to
do in the instance of like progresses where they're more
willing to say yes, yes, yes, yes all the time,
(16:01):
when you have a conservative saying no again, it kind
of makes for again that that clickbait for social media.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Yeah, I think that Trump has a very good sense
is a very good sense of how people feel, and
I think that he works some I'm hearing that Sylvester
Turner has passed. That is, I'm not being able to
confirmate him. He's got a message a few minutes ago. Yeah,
(16:35):
I have close enough confirmation that I can say with
certainty that Sylvester Turner has passed at seventy one. Interestingly,
the holder of the eighteenth Congressional seat. What does this
(16:57):
make in what when do Sheila died? You remember ramon?
What month would that have been? Let's see if I can.
Sheila died in July of last year, and Sylvester was
elected in November, took office in January.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
And.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
February two months later passed. So from July is August, September, October, November, December,
January February. So in seven months, that seat has had
three different people hold it. Sheila who passed, her daughter Erica,
who was elected just for the unexpired portion of the term,
(17:43):
which was just two months, and then Sylvester. And now
there will be a special election to replace Sylvester. So
I forget how long that takes? Sixty nine days you'll
have I can't recall if the governor with a Senate seat,
(18:09):
the governor can appoint the replacement until there is a
special election, and that all depends on how far away
the election. Is not a good idea to think out loud.
I should probably look this up. I've got some folks
that can look it up for me. But that could
mean if there is an appointment made, it would be
the governor. That would mean a fourth person would hold
(18:29):
that seat in the interim, and presuming that person does
not win the election, it would make a fifth person
winner of the election who would take office. That would
mean five people having taken office in that seat March, April, May, June, July.
That would mean that could potentially mean that five different
people will have held the eighteenth Congressional District seat in
(18:53):
one year. I wonder if that is a wonder, if
that's a record. I bet you it is. I'll bet
you it is anyway. So, but the news for today
is that Syvester Turner has passed. That will be because
that's a set it and forget its seat. That will
(19:14):
be a that will be an election for all elections.
The last time there was a heavily contested election for
the eighteenth Congressional District was nineteen ninety four. And I'll
come back to that. Nineteen eighty nine was the year
(19:35):
that Mickey Leland died in a plane crash over Ethiopia,
And when Mickey died, Anthony Hall and Craig Washington battled
it out in what was one of the nastiest races,
hotly hotly contested race, and of course Craig Washington won that.
(20:01):
Anthony Hall went on to be involved in the City
of Houston. He was chief administrative officer when I was
there fifteen years later. So Craig Washington wins that seat
in eighty nine to ninety and he gets re elected
in ninety two ninety. In January I think fifth, I
forget exactly the day, but the early part of January,
(20:21):
Sheila Jackson Lee gets sworn in to city Council and
immediately walks across the street to the Mickey Leland Federal
Court or Federal Building and files the papers to run
for Congress. In what becomes a brutal battle against Craig Washington.
(20:44):
She defeats Craig Washington and becomes a Congressman and would
hold that seat from ninety four for almost thirty years.
Of course, she ran for mayor against John Whitmyer and
lost and dies just a few months later. And then
(21:07):
of course her daughter Erica h takes the position, and
then and then uh, Sylvester takes the position, and now
he has passed. So that's going to be uh, that's
going to be an interesting race. Uh. It gets down
and dirty. In the eighteenth Congressional district. I know that
district very well, and Sheila Jackson Lee's city council seat,
(21:29):
she was replaced by a black member that was considered
the black seat. It was kind of an unwritten rule
that that seat would always be held by somebody who
was black until I ran for it and won. And
I remember at the time, old white men in downtown
would say, you're running, you're running for at large number.
(21:51):
That's that's the black seat. Really, where's that written? What
kind of silliness is that? Because I'm anna win it? Yeah,
and i'd did.
Speaker 8 (22:00):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Let's go to why did you spell Robert r A
H b U r T that's how he spells it? Oh, okay, Uh,
we don't have any girl. Oh, let's go to Tracy.
She's always cute. Go ahead of Tracy, Go ahead on.
Oh she hung up at the wrong time.
Speaker 10 (22:18):
Van, Go ahead, good excuse me, good morning, Michael.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Yes, sir, go ahead.
Speaker 10 (22:26):
So uh yeah, y'all kind of stole a little bit
of my thunder with your your first intro audio there.
My observation is not necessarily what I'm about the president,
but just the overall tone and and about the speaker.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
I I I loved.
Speaker 10 (22:41):
The message and that that I think was sent.
Speaker 7 (22:45):
To that side of the aisle when uh, when.
Speaker 10 (22:49):
Representative Green was was escorted out.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (22:53):
And that message is this, look, guys, we've got stuff
to do, We've got limited resources. We would love to
have your help. You're wasting our time. Time is one
of those resources. Either come over and help us or
get out of the way.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Yeah, I think that's fair to say. One listener made
the point that the Republicans wore American flag lapels and
the Democrats wore Ukraine flag lapels. Imagery is powerful, isn't it.
That really sends a statement to people at home that
(23:35):
are watching, doesn't it. Leo, you are on the Michael
Berry Show. Go ahead, Yes, sir, Michael.
Speaker 9 (23:41):
Great to be listening to you and love the show.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Ars listen.
Speaker 9 (23:45):
I think that President Trump addressed the Democrats with class
and grace, even as blunt as he was. And I
also think that that is why Americans love him, because
he communicates as well as where I could ever want to.
He conveys his message effectively.
Speaker 11 (24:05):
And when he came down that escalator, he was saying
what we people already were thinking, and we latched one
to that. Just like Russell and Ball used to say,
he got popular because people loved They knew that they
believed what he was saying because they were already thinking it.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Well, that's a very good calls, very well said. Now
we have a phone number for the Otis Daniel, who
was DJ daniels father, and we have calls and text
messages into him. And as soon as we can get
(24:44):
that young man to get him on the air, we
certainly will. One listener writes DJ getting the badge was cool,
but my favorite part happened later. Trump was recognizing someone else.
I'm fuzzy on the details. Nine thirty is pre late
for me, and DJ took it upon himself to go
shake his hand. What you know, congratulations, you know from
(25:05):
a secret service agent. You know, congratulations. I'm proud of you.
I love it. In Rights Number one, Trump leveraged the
left's hatred knowing they would behave badly on a national stage.
Number two, As a consequence, the midterm campaigns started last night.
You are correct, Actually, he says started last night. In
my opinion, you weaken your position to say in my opinion.
(25:29):
Of course, it is your opinion. Just say it's your opinion.
To be proud of it. Michael, when you were talking
about DJ in his Secret Service suit, I thought it'd
be awesome if someone could set it up to get
DJ a custom fitted Secret Service suit slash uniform. I'm
pretty sure you could make it happen. I have friends
in the Secret Service, and I will ask, but I
do not believe they have a uniform per se. They
(25:52):
wear suits, the guys I know when I see them
around Trump They're always in suit. But I'm gonna check
and stay, I will gladly buy this kid a suit.
We'll take him to one of our custom suit shop
friends and have have them make him a suit. Well,
I was gonna say I'd pay for it, but could
(26:13):
you chip in a little bit? How much you chipping in? Oh,
I'm gonna run a bill up. All right? What kind
of suit should we get in? What do you think
he looks sharpen. Huh a broke in shuit? What you
did my shoes? The old custom suits. H I don't
know what. I don't know what word you're looking for.
Let me talk to these people. You think on it, Robert,
(26:34):
you're on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead.
Speaker 7 (26:38):
At Michael, Yeah, Maya.
Speaker 8 (26:42):
What I have to say is that the het Donald
Trump was saying that he had gotten rid of dee
I and that he had gotten rid of woke is.
And well, just the day before every Democrat voted against
(27:06):
boys playing on girls' teams. Yeah, and all those people,
all those people were right there in his presence. So
he hasn't gotten rid of DEEI and wokeism, because I mean,
that's my point. He hasn't gotten rid of it. It's
(27:27):
still there. It was steering him right in the face.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
They don't believe that, just you know, they don't believe that.
They just vote that way. They got locked into this position,
and they can't figure out how to get out, truthfully that,
they can't figure out how to do and about face
on their issues. They're so deep into it, they're scared
to death. They got primaries coming up in a year,
(27:54):
and that's not very long, and they're going to be
primary from the left. You're going to have Democrats officehold
who are going to be primary from the left and
from slightly to the right of them. So you've got
a lot of these Democrats who in November against the Republican,
they position themselves just left of the Republican, trying to
(28:15):
appear to be moderate to independent voters, and that the
Republican that they are facing is a right wing extremist. Okay, well,
now they have trouble because the Democrat Party has dragged
them so far to the left that they have become fringe.
They're outside the norm. You ask the average person, who
(28:38):
may not have a party identity to speak of, and
the average person will tell you that boys playing in
girls sports is wrong and dangerous and they don't want it.
In fact, let's see if I can find that again.
I saw the numbers, and this was Let's see if
(29:01):
I can find it. This was CNN and CBS News
had real time polls on his speech, and one of
them had sixty seven percent of Americans supporting his speech,
and one of CBS, I believe, had seventy six percent
supporting it. So the things he was saying, Honestly, if
(29:22):
the Democrats wanted to criticize, they would say there's no
meat on the bone. He's just stating platitudes that we
all already agree with. That would have been a better
approach for them than to say, no, no, we want
boys in girls sports, because that's a great idea. That's
just they're so far out there on that one. Tracy,
(29:42):
you are upsweety, we got you back. What happened?
Speaker 12 (29:45):
Well, Mike, call drop good morning, Michael. I don't know,
just drop, but I want yes.
Speaker 7 (29:53):
I'm sorry about that.
Speaker 12 (29:55):
So I get a message on my phone on Facebook
for my cousin in Mississippi. So she's upset that I
voted for Trump. She asked me why I.
Speaker 7 (30:06):
Voted for Trump. I told her that I like his policy.
Speaker 12 (30:09):
He loves America and it's getting great and known when
I kids to go to war. He wants to end
all this with these little kids being changed, sex change,
and you know, it's a lot of things that's going on.
And she was telling me that literally literally that Trump
is ignorant and dumb, and I voted for someone that
(30:34):
was dumb and that don't know what's going on. And
I asked her. I said, well, then, what do you
think about Joe Biden? And she just couldn't answer that
for me. And she told me that if I put
some of her page about Trump, just delete her out
of her uh delete me, delete her out of my life.
Speaker 7 (30:55):
This is my family.
Speaker 12 (30:56):
I have been deleted from a lot of my family
members by Trump. Well, I love Trump, Trump doing the
great thing for the work for the American people.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
You know, I'm sorry to hear that, because I know
it hurts. But I don't believe that adversity creates character.
I believe that it reveals characters, and I do not
believe that Trump makes people bitter and mean. I think
(31:36):
he reveals who they really were. And unfortunately, this is
not about you. This is about them, and they didn't
change because of Trump. You didn't change because of Trump.
We've now it has been revealed who your family really is.
And I'm sorry to say that. I wish that weren't
(31:58):
the case. But you're the one going. You see it yourself.
For them to willfully hurt you the way they are
doing tells you more about them than it does Trump
or you supporting Trump. It tells you everything. And that's
the part that makes me sad, not that they're doing it,
but that they were always capable of doing it. And
(32:20):
that's unfortunate. But you pick your friends, you don't pick
your family. Unfortunately,
It's that time time time, time, luck and load. The

So we see I was ware for We see you
from Countown to Brae, everybody see good, good morning.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Well. President Trump brought the heat last night. As you
might imagine. What I thought we'd do is for a
little while. At least get your perspective on his remarks. Now,
before you call, think about this. Your immediate reaction was
(01:43):
I love it, they needed it, he was great. Whatever, Okay,
all right, that doesn't advance the conversation. But if you
found yourself watching and listening and thought to yourself, you
know what he's doing. You know why he said that.
You know, I notice something. I wonder if other people noticed.
(02:04):
I noticed something new about his tone, something different. I
noticed that he brought something up that at first I
wondered why he did it, and then it hit me.
If you have a remark that advances our understanding of
last night, Congress is dumb. Trump's great, doesn't do that,
then I'd like to hear from you seven one three
(02:26):
nine nine one thousand, seven one three nine one thousand.
Very exciting news. We have a new Secret Service agent
from right here in Houston, actually from Parland, and he's
thirteen years old. His name is DJ Daniel. He's been
(02:47):
battling cancer, but I can tell you he went to
bed the happiest kid in America last night.
Speaker 4 (02:53):
Joining us at the gallery tonight is a young man
who truly loves our police.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
His name is DJ Daniel.
Speaker 4 (03:00):
He is thirteen years old and he has always dreamed
of becoming a police officer. But in twenty eighteen, DJ
(03:47):
was diagnosed with brain cancer. The doctors gave him five
months at most to live. That was more than six
years ago. Since that time, DJ and his dad have
(04:20):
been on a quest to make his dream come true.
And DJ has been sworn in as an honorary law
enforcement officer.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Actually a number of times. Peace.
Speaker 4 (04:32):
The police love him, the police departments love him. And tonight, DJ,
We're going to do you the biggest honor of them all.
I am asking our new Secret Service Director, Sean Kurrn,
to officially make you an agent of the United States Secret.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Service right on, right on. My goodness alive, My goodness alive.
Even the people that hate Trump would have to admit
that's a good thing. That's a decent thing, that's an
(05:11):
honorable thing. Trump understands the art of the show that
kind of thing right there. Not only does that little
boy DJ Daniel feel great about that, that makes us
all feel good. I mean, wow, seven nine, nine, one thousand,
(05:37):
will have your calls coming up in just a moment.
I suspect somebody out there knows that little boy or
his family and can get him on the show for us.
And if that is the case, email us and give
us a number where we can reach him, or if
you're in contact with his mother or father. Probably well
(06:01):
he's on duty, yeah, protecting the president. He's Secret Service.
Now that's a good point, Ramo. Okay, well we'll see
if the President will give him a few minutes off
to do an interview about his new duties and responsibilities,
special training and things like that. So thirteen would be
seventh grade. Can you imagine when that kid goes back
to school. DJ's walking through the school. He got his
(06:26):
badge kind of clipped to his pants like I would
do huh. Yeah, he's got a taser strapped down. He's
wearing a suit all the time. Now, that's so awesome.
He's people are getting out of line and he's like, hey, hey, hey, hey,
there's no horse play. Come on, guys, let's go. Let's
(06:48):
straighten it up. The keep the hall moving. We got
to get to class here, We got to get to class. Oh,

Speaker 1 (09:57):
Bead from your pushing me. You pusha. We'll talk about
al Green's antics, but I suspect somebody will have something
(10:18):
to say, so I will save my remarks for a
response to that. Let's start with Brian, then Leo, then Van,
then Trecy and on down the list and start back
over at the top seven one, three, nine, nine nine
or one thousand Brian Europe. Sir, hey, right, let me
(10:38):
ask you a question. Are you b r I A
N or b r y A N I as an? Okay,
that's but I just want to make sure he got
it right, because it's Brian, not Brian. I told him, Okay, Okay.
Sometimes he spells names. You know. I have a very
simple system which most people in society follow, which a
(10:59):
name like Willie w I l Y that's gonna be
a dude if it's a girl WI l I E.
Now that's not always accurate, but that's as close as
we can get if I'm reading a name to me
knowing the sex of the person.
Speaker 7 (11:12):
Well, Zara, I think a girl named Willie is a
little bit like a boy named Sue.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Well, it could be well played, well played, Brian. What
do you do for a living?
Speaker 7 (11:22):
Yes, sir, I work as a case manager at a
personal injury from here in Houston or Katie.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
And are you paralegal?
Speaker 7 (11:30):
Yeah, sort of, yes, sir.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
Did you go to parallegal school?
Speaker 2 (11:35):
No?
Speaker 8 (11:35):
Sir?
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Do you get a piece of the case? I wish.
I don't know why you couldn't. I mean it doesn't
have to be. You know, if he's getting forty percent,
he doesn't have to give you, you know, a quarter
of that. I mean just a little, just a little spiff.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
No.
Speaker 7 (11:50):
They do very good to take care of me.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Do you get some sort of reward bonus? I get
to keep my job.
Speaker 7 (11:59):
That's how I've always looked at it.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
How have you been doing that?
Speaker 7 (12:04):
Coming up on ten years in May, sir?
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Where do you begin working on the case at intake
when it calls in?
Speaker 7 (12:11):
Yes, sir, from start to finish, send it out, records requests,
talking to police departments, finding out kind of what happened
for see what the investigation, all the lay into litigation,
and see it through to trial if need be.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Do you handle the first client contact or does the attorney?
Speaker 7 (12:29):
We actually have an intake staff that will handle that's
their first contact to go.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
So by the time it gets handed to you to
start working it up, there is a determination. We're going
to put some time and money into this. How man energy? Yes, sir? Okay, yes, sir?
Interesting you enjoy it? I love it?
Speaker 7 (12:45):
I guess take care of a lot of really really
good people.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
What is your favorite kind of case?
Speaker 7 (12:51):
So you know they can all be extremely interesting in
one way or another. You know, even a simple car rack,
believe it or not? Can you know have the craziest ran?
Speaker 1 (13:03):
If I ask what turns on? I don't want to
hear all women are pretty? Tell me what fetish is?
Come on?
Speaker 9 (13:11):
Uh?
Speaker 7 (13:11):
You know finding out that there's a lot more of
the story than initially meets.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
The eye, isn't that the truth?
Speaker 7 (13:16):
All right?
Speaker 1 (13:16):
What you call about my man?
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Well?
Speaker 7 (13:18):
HOI yeah, So I've got two observations about trump speech
last night. The first was he so this is a
masterclass in walking democrats to the edge and asking them
if they want to find out, and and and and
they could not even stand for a young man with
with with Breger, who survived brain cancer becoming an honorary
(13:40):
Secret Service agent. They couldn't stand for a young man
finding out he's going to West Point. They couldn't stand
for for Joscelyn Nunger right. They couldn't stand for Lake
and Riley and and and even when it came to
proceeding under the United States leadership for peace talks and Ukraine,
they still couldn't stand.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
And why do you think that is, Brian?
Speaker 7 (14:06):
I think it's a higher polarized climate in Washington. I
think anymore it's done for clickbait on social media, and
so it ends up being a little bit more like
idiocracy than what our family fathers intended.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
Interesting, but you know, tell me what you think, Brian.
There are certain issues tariffs, for instance, criminal justice reform.
There are a lot of things where there really are
two sides, and no matter how you bang your head
(14:44):
against the wall, you're not gonna win over all of
the people, and in some cases maybe not even much
more than a majority. But there are certain issues I
feel that are relatively universal. And the list of things
you just stated are universal, the Jocelyn nunger A case,
the Lincoln Riley case. I think that closing the border,
(15:09):
you know, the Free Bert movement. Bert Harvey was in
jail over the weekend and he said what shocked him
was that every one of the inmates in there was
talking about the fact that they were happy that Trump
was deporting the illegals because the illegals were bad for America,
and that they felt that the illegals were causing problems
(15:30):
for the country and the fact that they were it
was taking longer to process them because all the illegals
were being processed in one big swell. They were okay
with that. So that was a pretty strong statement.
Speaker 7 (15:40):
I think, Yes, sir, I certainly think so as well.
It's again, you know, it's one of those hyper polarized
subjects that you know, again, if you are willing to
do in the instance of like progresses where they're more
willing to say yes, yes, yes, yes all the time,
(16:01):
when you have a conservative saying no again, it kind
of makes for again that that clickbait for social media.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
Yeah, I think that Trump has a very good sense
is a very good sense of how people feel, and
I think that he works some I'm hearing that Sylvester
Turner has passed. That is, I'm not being able to
confirmate him. He's got a message a few minutes ago. Yeah,
(16:35):
I have close enough confirmation that I can say with
certainty that Sylvester Turner has passed at seventy one. Interestingly,
the holder of the eighteenth Congressional seat. What does this
(16:57):
make in what when do Sheila died? You remember ramon?
What month would that have been? Let's see if I can.
Sheila died in July of last year, and Sylvester was
elected in November, took office in January.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
And.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
February two months later passed. So from July is August, September, October, November, December,
January February. So in seven months, that seat has had
three different people hold it. Sheila who passed, her daughter Erica,
who was elected just for the unexpired portion of the term,
(17:43):
which was just two months, and then Sylvester. And now
there will be a special election to replace Sylvester. So
I forget how long that takes? Sixty nine days you'll
have I can't recall if the governor with a Senate seat,
(18:09):
the governor can appoint the replacement until there is a
special election, and that all depends on how far away
the election. Is not a good idea to think out loud.
I should probably look this up. I've got some folks
that can look it up for me. But that could
mean if there is an appointment made, it would be
the governor. That would mean a fourth person would hold
(18:29):
that seat in the interim, and presuming that person does
not win the election, it would make a fifth person
winner of the election who would take office. That would
mean five people having taken office in that seat March, April, May, June, July.
That would mean that could potentially mean that five different
people will have held the eighteenth Congressional District seat in
(18:53):
one year. I wonder if that is a wonder, if
that's a record. I bet you it is. I'll bet
you it is anyway. So, but the news for today
is that Syvester Turner has passed. That will be because
that's a set it and forget its seat. That will
(19:14):
be a that will be an election for all elections.
The last time there was a heavily contested election for
the eighteenth Congressional District was nineteen ninety four. And I'll
come back to that. Nineteen eighty nine was the year
(19:35):
that Mickey Leland died in a plane crash over Ethiopia,
And when Mickey died, Anthony Hall and Craig Washington battled
it out in what was one of the nastiest races,
hotly hotly contested race, and of course Craig Washington won that.
(20:01):
Anthony Hall went on to be involved in the City
of Houston. He was chief administrative officer when I was
there fifteen years later. So Craig Washington wins that seat
in eighty nine to ninety and he gets re elected
in ninety two ninety. In January I think fifth, I
forget exactly the day, but the early part of January,
(20:21):
Sheila Jackson Lee gets sworn in to city Council and
immediately walks across the street to the Mickey Leland Federal
Court or Federal Building and files the papers to run
for Congress. In what becomes a brutal battle against Craig Washington.
(20:44):
She defeats Craig Washington and becomes a Congressman and would
hold that seat from ninety four for almost thirty years.
Of course, she ran for mayor against John Whitmyer and
lost and dies just a few months later. And then
(21:07):
of course her daughter Erica h takes the position, and
then and then uh, Sylvester takes the position, and now
he has passed. So that's going to be uh, that's
going to be an interesting race. Uh. It gets down
and dirty. In the eighteenth Congressional district. I know that
district very well, and Sheila Jackson Lee's city council seat,
(21:29):
she was replaced by a black member that was considered
the black seat. It was kind of an unwritten rule
that that seat would always be held by somebody who
was black until I ran for it and won. And
I remember at the time, old white men in downtown
would say, you're running, you're running for at large number.
(21:51):
That's that's the black seat. Really, where's that written? What
kind of silliness is that? Because I'm anna win it? Yeah,
and i'd did.
Speaker 8 (22:00):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
Let's go to why did you spell Robert r A
H b U r T that's how he spells it? Oh, okay, Uh,
we don't have any girl. Oh, let's go to Tracy.
She's always cute. Go ahead of Tracy, Go ahead on.
Oh she hung up at the wrong time.
Speaker 10 (22:18):
Van, Go ahead, good excuse me, good morning, Michael.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
Yes, sir, go ahead.
Speaker 10 (22:26):
So uh yeah, y'all kind of stole a little bit
of my thunder with your your first intro audio there.
My observation is not necessarily what I'm about the president,
but just the overall tone and and about the speaker.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
I I I loved.
Speaker 10 (22:41):
The message and that that I think was sent.
Speaker 7 (22:45):
To that side of the aisle when uh, when.
Speaker 10 (22:49):
Representative Green was was escorted out.
Speaker 3 (22:52):
Uh.
Speaker 10 (22:53):
And that message is this, look, guys, we've got stuff
to do, We've got limited resources. We would love to
have your help. You're wasting our time. Time is one
of those resources. Either come over and help us or
get out of the way.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Yeah, I think that's fair to say. One listener made
the point that the Republicans wore American flag lapels and
the Democrats wore Ukraine flag lapels. Imagery is powerful, isn't it.
That really sends a statement to people at home that
(23:35):
are watching, doesn't it. Leo, you are on the Michael
Berry Show. Go ahead, Yes, sir, Michael.
Speaker 9 (23:41):
Great to be listening to you and love the show.
Speaker 1 (23:44):
Ars listen.
Speaker 9 (23:45):
I think that President Trump addressed the Democrats with class
and grace, even as blunt as he was. And I
also think that that is why Americans love him, because
he communicates as well as where I could ever want to.
He conveys his message effectively.
Speaker 11 (24:05):
And when he came down that escalator, he was saying
what we people already were thinking, and we latched one
to that. Just like Russell and Ball used to say,
he got popular because people loved They knew that they
believed what he was saying because they were already thinking it.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Well, that's a very good calls, very well said. Now
we have a phone number for the Otis Daniel, who
was DJ daniels father, and we have calls and text
messages into him. And as soon as we can get
(24:44):
that young man to get him on the air, we
certainly will. One listener writes DJ getting the badge was cool,
but my favorite part happened later. Trump was recognizing someone else.
I'm fuzzy on the details. Nine thirty is pre late
for me, and DJ took it upon himself to go
shake his hand. What you know, congratulations, you know from
(25:05):
a secret service agent. You know, congratulations. I'm proud of you.
I love it. In Rights Number one, Trump leveraged the
left's hatred knowing they would behave badly on a national stage.
Number two, As a consequence, the midterm campaigns started last night.
You are correct, Actually, he says started last night. In
my opinion, you weaken your position to say in my opinion.
(25:29):
Of course, it is your opinion. Just say it's your opinion.
To be proud of it. Michael, when you were talking
about DJ in his Secret Service suit, I thought it'd
be awesome if someone could set it up to get
DJ a custom fitted Secret Service suit slash uniform. I'm
pretty sure you could make it happen. I have friends
in the Secret Service, and I will ask, but I
do not believe they have a uniform per se. They
(25:52):
wear suits, the guys I know when I see them
around Trump They're always in suit. But I'm gonna check
and stay, I will gladly buy this kid a suit.
We'll take him to one of our custom suit shop
friends and have have them make him a suit. Well,
I was gonna say I'd pay for it, but could
(26:13):
you chip in a little bit? How much you chipping in? Oh,
I'm gonna run a bill up. All right? What kind
of suit should we get in? What do you think
he looks sharpen. Huh a broke in shuit? What you
did my shoes? The old custom suits. H I don't
know what. I don't know what word you're looking for.
Let me talk to these people. You think on it, Robert,
(26:34):
you're on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead.
Speaker 7 (26:38):
At Michael, Yeah, Maya.
Speaker 8 (26:42):
What I have to say is that the het Donald
Trump was saying that he had gotten rid of dee
I and that he had gotten rid of woke is.
And well, just the day before every Democrat voted against
(27:06):
boys playing on girls' teams. Yeah, and all those people,
all those people were right there in his presence. So
he hasn't gotten rid of DEEI and wokeism, because I mean,
that's my point. He hasn't gotten rid of it. It's
(27:27):
still there. It was steering him right in the face.
Speaker 1 (27:33):
They don't believe that, just you know, they don't believe that.
They just vote that way. They got locked into this position,
and they can't figure out how to get out, truthfully that,
they can't figure out how to do and about face
on their issues. They're so deep into it, they're scared
to death. They got primaries coming up in a year,
(27:54):
and that's not very long, and they're going to be
primary from the left. You're going to have Democrats officehold
who are going to be primary from the left and
from slightly to the right of them. So you've got
a lot of these Democrats who in November against the Republican,
they position themselves just left of the Republican, trying to
(28:15):
appear to be moderate to independent voters, and that the
Republican that they are facing is a right wing extremist. Okay, well,
now they have trouble because the Democrat Party has dragged
them so far to the left that they have become fringe.
They're outside the norm. You ask the average person, who
(28:38):
may not have a party identity to speak of, and
the average person will tell you that boys playing in
girls sports is wrong and dangerous and they don't want it.
In fact, let's see if I can find that again.
I saw the numbers, and this was Let's see if
(29:01):
I can find it. This was CNN and CBS News
had real time polls on his speech, and one of
them had sixty seven percent of Americans supporting his speech,
and one of CBS, I believe, had seventy six percent
supporting it. So the things he was saying, Honestly, if
(29:22):
the Democrats wanted to criticize, they would say there's no
meat on the bone. He's just stating platitudes that we
all already agree with. That would have been a better
approach for them than to say, no, no, we want
boys in girls sports, because that's a great idea. That's
just they're so far out there on that one. Tracy,
(29:42):
you are upsweety, we got you back. What happened?
Speaker 12 (29:45):
Well, Mike, call drop good morning, Michael. I don't know,
just drop, but I want yes.
Speaker 7 (29:53):
I'm sorry about that.
Speaker 12 (29:55):
So I get a message on my phone on Facebook
for my cousin in Mississippi. So she's upset that I
voted for Trump. She asked me why I.
Speaker 7 (30:06):
Voted for Trump. I told her that I like his policy.
Speaker 12 (30:09):
He loves America and it's getting great and known when
I kids to go to war. He wants to end
all this with these little kids being changed, sex change,
and you know, it's a lot of things that's going on.
And she was telling me that literally literally that Trump
is ignorant and dumb, and I voted for someone that
(30:34):
was dumb and that don't know what's going on. And
I asked her. I said, well, then, what do you
think about Joe Biden? And she just couldn't answer that
for me. And she told me that if I put
some of her page about Trump, just delete her out
of her uh delete me, delete her out of my life.
Speaker 7 (30:55):
This is my family.
Speaker 12 (30:56):
I have been deleted from a lot of my family
members by Trump. Well, I love Trump, Trump doing the
great thing for the work for the American people.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
You know, I'm sorry to hear that, because I know
it hurts. But I don't believe that adversity creates character.
I believe that it reveals characters, and I do not
believe that Trump makes people bitter and mean. I think
(31:36):
he reveals who they really were. And unfortunately, this is
not about you. This is about them, and they didn't
change because of Trump. You didn't change because of Trump.
We've now it has been revealed who your family really is.
And I'm sorry to say that. I wish that weren't
(31:58):
the case. But you're the one going. You see it yourself.
For them to willfully hurt you the way they are
doing tells you more about them than it does Trump
or you supporting Trump. It tells you everything. And that's
the part that makes me sad, not that they're doing it,
but that they were always capable of doing it. And
(32:20):
that's unfortunate. But you pick your friends, you don't pick
your family. Unfortunately,
