Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's that time, time, time, time, Luck and load. Michael
Verie show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
It's not a place you can get to buy a
boat or chain, is FA.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
This was a huge, I mean a monumental victory for
President Shop, the biggest legal win of this administration so far.
A total embarrassment for crazy Judge Bosburg who's been trying
to force this president to bring foreign alien terraces back
onto American soil, trying to turn our planes around, trying
to empty prisons in foreign countries and bring them back
(00:53):
to our soil. This is a monumental, colossal victory for
the rule of law, for the Constitution, for our founding
generation John Adams who signed this law into effect in
seventeen ninety eight, and for President Trump and fulfilling as.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
We take the long way, take the long way.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
You never see what you want to see.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Paying to the gallery.
Speaker 5 (01:18):
You take the long way home, take the long lane.
Speaker 6 (01:22):
Well, look, I hear the president's plan on this in
the same plan you hand during the first administration. You
concentrate on the public safety threats and the national security
threats first. For THO are the worst to the worst,
So Trump be the worst. First that's how it has
to be done. And we know a recog number picked
on the terrorist watchman's the process border. We know recon
number of terrorists have been released in this country. We've
already wrestled some planning attacks. So look, the President is
(01:46):
dead on when he says criminal threats, national security threats
are going to be prioritized, and that's whay its want
to be.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
This is pretty remarkable.
Speaker 7 (01:53):
The Trump administration has taken that controversial CBP one cell
phone app for migrants that the Biden administration was using
and they've repurposed it into a self deportation app. The
app is now called CBP Home. It allows illegal aliens
in the US to register to self deport They fill
out biographical information including their countries of citizenship, which country
(02:14):
they plan to return to, their alien registration numbers, their
contact information, and it allows them to upload photos of
themselves to confirm their identity. All of it is then
submitted to CBP and they leave the country. So, in
a nutshell, vana Trump just took Biden's program which was
bringing migrants in and has now totally repurposed it to
get them out.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
The media and our friends in the Democrat Party kept
saying we needed new legislation. We must have legislation to
secure the border. But it turned out that all we
really needed was a new president.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Contect the long lane protect Washington State man arrested kidnapped
his ex girlfriend's beloved pet chicken, Polly. Bodycam video shows
the man weeping when arrested, telling officers, don't hurt my chicken.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Show me your hands, that's fine. Just hold your chicken.
I'm not gonna hurt your chicken.
Speaker 7 (03:17):
Get that.
Speaker 8 (03:18):
County Sheriff's deputies confront a man accused of stealing a
chicken while violating an order of protection. The call for
help came from a woman who said her former boyfriend
had shown up at her home in unincorporated Port Orchard
early in the morning of Saturday, March twenty ninth, kicking
in a back door and shouting I've got Polly several
times before running away with the chicken that was inside
(03:38):
the house.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
He shows I got my kitkeen stand up.
Speaker 8 (03:44):
After a search, deputies located the man hiding in a
wooded area on JM.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Dickinson Road.
Speaker 8 (03:50):
Last he was still clutching the chicken as he was
taken into custody.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
You don't know how you put the chicken in here.
Speaker 8 (03:57):
For a second, deputy is allowed to replaced the chicken
safe into a patrol unit before booking him on charges
of residential burglary and violating an order of protection. Casesojail
record showed the fifty year old man had been released
from custody that morning, just two and a half hours
before the incident. After his arrest, Pauli, the chicken, who
was unharmed, was returned to her family.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
The crazy story reports were that he was trying to
push food down the chicken's throat where the chicken couldn't breathe,
and he just kept cramming more and more food and
the chicken was coughing. His as are on and they said, dude,
you're choking your chicken, and he would not stop doing it.
(04:42):
It was crazy. I don't know what this guy was.
Ken Paxton has released his first ad in the campaign
to unseat the swapstress John Cornan John Wayne mccornan, hitting
corn for opposing Trump, the border wall, and gun rights,
saying John Cornyn does not share our values.
Speaker 9 (05:02):
Senator John Cornyn turned his back on President Trump.
Speaker 10 (05:05):
You've said that you think it's time for the Republican
Party to move on from President Trump.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
You know, in politics, unless you could win an elector,
you're pretty much you're will want.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
John corn of Texas told CBS News he simply doesn't
think Donald Trump can get elected president. Quite a statement
from Senator Cornyn.
Speaker 6 (05:22):
Corn N told Fox twenty six he won't be supporting
former President Trump and neither should other Republicans.
Speaker 9 (05:27):
John Corny support jam the speed and says Texans should
just deal with millions of ilegal aliens.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
The American people are a compassionate people that I think
Favord find lays to deal with the twelve million people.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
He even fought to stop President Trump's border wall.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Giant wall from sea to Shining Sea makes no sense whatsoever.
The idea of the wall is somewhat off putting to
a lot of people.
Speaker 10 (05:51):
And when John Cornan joined Joe Biden to take away
our gun rights, President Trump sounded the alum, Yeah, there.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Are some Republicans, including former President trum who are ripping
this and ripping you as well.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
John corn has decided to take guns from lawful gun owners.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
And if there's one reason you vote Republican, it's prevent that.
Speaker 9 (06:10):
John Cornyn doesn't share our values. It's time for a change.
Ken Paxton is the conservative fighter they couldn't cancel.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
An attorney general who has really led the way, somebody
who has been brave and strong.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Ken Paxon.
Speaker 9 (06:26):
Ken Paxton is America's most conservative attorney general.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
He sued Joe.
Speaker 11 (06:31):
Biden over one hundred times to stop his lawless agenda.
His attorney general, Ken Paxton protected our gun rights, defended
the right to life, and took on the radical transgender
movement to keep men out of women's sports, locker rooms
and backwards. A fearless conservative has taken on the establishment
(06:53):
and held big techt and big pharma accountant. Now, Ken
Paxton is running for Senate to stand with President Trump
and help.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Him make America great again.
Speaker 10 (07:03):
As our next Senator, Ken Paxton will cut our taxes,
defend our borders, and eliminate old WOLPE programs. John corn
It's funding, stand up for Texas to fight for our future.
Join the Ken Paxton for Senate team today.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
The timing on this gets really interesting and could be
potentially a bit of a thorn because Cornyan is going
to be the Senator from now until January of twenty seven.
So for the next year, let's see what we've got.
(07:45):
A year that this thing's going to be battled out.
And Cornyan is a key vote in the Senate who
Trump meets but I think where to clear, Trump would
rather have Taxton. So this gets really interesting.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
Michael Chocolate Freak, I would.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Paston announce so early in the race to unseat John Cornyn,
and the answer is to stave off of their challengers.
So Cornyn has the establishment support, and as the sitting
(08:34):
senator who's been there for a long time, he's got
a lot of corporate support, a lot of CEO types
inside money and the lobbyists. So he will start the
race with a huge bank balance and all of the
federal lobbyists will come to his aid, and they will
(08:56):
do so at the direction of the Mitch McConnell coalition,
and that will be the National Association of this and
the National Association of that, and the US Chamber of
Commerce and all the folks that basically buy our government.
And that is usually enough to keep an incumbent in
(09:16):
power because a challenger can't mount a campaign that can't
raise any money. This is a rather unique situation where
Cornyan is going to be challenged in a primary by
a candidate who will raise money and more importantly, has
the base. It's hard to mobilize the base, but Paxton
(09:41):
is very popular with the base. That's how he was
able to defeat the Bush machine in George P. Bush.
And this guy's a fighter. He has mobilized the base
better than anyone I've seen. Let me think about this
(10:07):
for a State of Texas candidate. Because Trump came from outside,
it a little more complicated. What Cruse did in twelve
was pretty shocking, especially because Dewhurst had all the money
and was spending all the money had statewide name Id
had never lost an election. He'd been spending money on
local Republican parties across the country. Dewhurst had done everything.
(10:30):
Dewhurst was unbeatable. That that was the conventional wisdom, and
Cruise managed to pull that off. That was Dohurst doesn't
look as strong today, so people don't understand, but I
can tell you in twenty twelve, Dewhurst had everything going
for him. Defeating Dewhurst putting him into the runoff, which
was when that's when you knew that Chris was going
(10:51):
to win, was a big, big deal. Paxton has a
level of support because of the battles he has fought.
He also has some incredibly powerful people in this state
who are gonna be trying to take his head off.
They do not want him as a US Senator. It's
also going to create a very interesting twenty twenty six.
(11:15):
We're going to see in twenty twenty six the likes
of which we haven't seen in over ten years, which
is a reshuffling of the deck because with Paxton seeking
the US Senate seat, that pops open the attorney general seat.
You know, Glenn Hager moved from comptroller to president of
(11:35):
Texas A and M or chancellor I Guess of Texas
A and M University, So that means the comptroller's position
pops open. So you're gonna have the comptrollers position open.
You're gonna have the Attorney general's position open. And open
is important because as opposed to an incumbent running for
office who might have a challenger, when you have a
(11:55):
seat that pops open, you have people who will make
a move who might not have made a move because
these seats don't come open like that very often. So
now you've got a year where You're going to have
a lot of people positioning for these seats who might
not have done it, but they know if I'm ever
(12:17):
going to make a move, this is going to be
that move. So you're going to have state reps and
maybe some state senators who are going to start looking
at these seats that will open, and then the seats
that they open to run for them will now be
open for someone else to So you see this, you
know the game of what's the game where they play
(12:41):
the music musical chairs, Because again this is a very
important point that when a position is open because it's
being vacated due to death or the person leaving, that
creates an opportunity for people that will make a move
that otherwise would not have or were planning to wait.
(13:01):
So you'll have some first time state reps, for instance,
who will run for I wouldn't be surprised to see
Mitch Little run for attorney general, for instance. That's one
of the things that somebody mentioned to me. I don't
know if that person wanted him to run or had
had a conversation with him. Both of those are possible,
but that would be one of those things. And then
(13:22):
that would of course mean that his state rep seat
would be open. It'll also mean that you're going to
have some transition into coalitions in the House and in
the Senate, because now everything starts moving toward the primary,
the Republican primary, which is going to become very important
in twenty twenty six. You will not have Donald Trump
(13:46):
in that election, so you're going to have a reduced
turnout and you'll have a reduced MAGA turnout typically as
a result, because you won't have Trump at the top
of the ticket, you'll have a who shows up becomes
as important and as how they vote, and people vote
differently in presidential years every quadrinial then they do off years.
(14:07):
This is the reason that school districts hold their bond
elections and their school board elections. They don't hold them
at a time when people are already showing up to
vote because they wouldn't win. And I think Katie asd,
I think our buddy Victor made a mistake out there
by not doing what some other school districts did, and
(14:29):
that is moving the election calendar to the time when
we're already all showing up to vote in November. For
statewide seats, these school districts don't the teachers' unions and
the teacher groups, the education lobby. They don't want these
elections to be held in November when we're already showing
(14:49):
up to vote for Trump, because if we're showing up
to vote for Trump, we're going to vote them out.
But if they have an election that is just their
school board, they use the school and the teachers and
the people who submit bids for the buildings, and the
people who get contracts, and the people who and the
(15:12):
families of the teachers. And that's how they pass these
big bonds, and that's how they get all this money,
and that's how they're their budget grows because they have
an election when nobody is voting on anything else, So
the only people voting are them, because they're voting for
a pay raise for themselves. It's hard to get people
to show up to vote against all that.
Speaker 10 (15:29):
Friend Welcome in the gate is open wide.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
The Michael Berry Show long to be a fight and
Breathe Finanza. Since seven one, three, nine, nine, one thousand ninety,
you either know or you don't what happened with stock market,
and that tends to be related to how actively you
manage your portfolio. Most people do not follow the ups
(16:00):
and downs of the stock market, are the reasons for
the swings very closely, because they may have a four
oh one K or a basic plan and they're not
terribly interested in it. It's not really covered very broadly
considering the the the importance of it. It's not covered
(16:25):
the way whatever AOC says that day is or Jasmine Crockett.
But it has a great deal more to do with
your life than what Jasmine Crockett says. But you know
what Jasmine Crockett says is more. It is more water
cooler conversation. I suppose. Now there is CNBC, and there
are financial sites and those talking, but most people I
(16:46):
find are not very interested in it, don't talk much
about it until it becomes a news story in and
of itself, and then there will be this sweeping reference
to the stock market, and people will dutifully repeat it
because I hear them do that, and that stock market's up,
stock markets stop, market's going to crash, stock market's going
(17:07):
to a little more complicated than that. But let's operate
from that promise for MoMA. So most of the stock market,
most of the stock market dip that we were seeing
was not based on fundamentals. Nobody had lost any money, yet,
(17:28):
nobody was even really sure how they were going to
lose money. It's not true that everyone's going to lose money.
It's not true that tariffs are going to harm everyone.
There are a lot of people making important decisions on
the basis that tariffs are going to hurt people who
don't even really understand how that would happen or who
(17:51):
would be hurt. I've seen it. I've seen it at play. Nevertheless,
those actions are real actions. And I have three show
sponsors who are sort of counterweights to the stock market
because they are alternative places to put your money, and
all three of them have seen a huge upswing during
(18:14):
this One of them is Kenny Duncan Jr. At us
Coins because people buy and sell gold, and he's probably
the biggest I'm sure he's the biggest in Houston, He's
one of the biggest in the country. I speak for
him in Houston, but I also speak for him nationally
on Premiere and we have listeners literally across the country
who are buying and selling gold through US Coins. You
(18:38):
wouldn't believe the volume that they do out of one
building on iten just outside the loop. Wouldn't believe the
volume of people and the volume. Gold hit thirty one
twenty five though that I don't know what it did
after that, but I called him, I had him on
the evening show. For those of you who listened, I
had him on the evening show to talk about this.
(18:58):
This just bump in gold prices. So whether it's up
or down, there's a lot of action in gold and
precious metals, but particularly in gold right now. So that's
one and that money is coming out of the stock market.
A lot of that money is money that was in
the stock market that's being pulled or is on the
sideline and doesn't go in the stock market, think gets
(19:20):
active overnight. So gold is one of them, and gold
is what you would most expect is kind of the
alternative to equities to stocks. Then there is our Bitcoin
show sponsor, which is Archie Public, which is actually a
software platform to get you to bitcoin, which is mostly
(19:42):
the winkle of us twins or clearing those trades, so
you can think of them almost like an e trade
for bitcoin, so you're not buying your bitcoin from them
or selling you. They are easiest way I could explain
it is the stock market's only open a few hours
a day. Bitcoin trades twenty four to seven. So if
(20:03):
you say I'm going to use round numbers, let's say,
and they're not accurate numbers, but let's say you want
to sell bitcoin at eighty five thousand, and if it
gets to eighty five thousand, then sell's that's the point
in which I think is the high, because you want
to buy the dip, and well, you know the job.
So let's say if it gets to eighty five, I
wants you to sell, and if it drops to thirty
(20:25):
one thousand, I want you to buy. And that's your strategy.
You're looking for those two numbers to either buy or sell.
And the problem is, like the day to have a
buddy's a day trader, and he can't do anything when
the stock market is open because if he is exposed
in a trade, he's got to be able to act
on that when it happens, because it might just be
a second. And now they're competing. This is what quantum
(20:45):
was all about. They're competing over being able to trade
within a second or nan a second. Now they're putting
an these high powered lines between Chicago and New York
because you want to get your trade in before the
next guy. Well, this bitcoin arch public is you set
your numbers and your trade may execute at three fourteen
(21:05):
am while you're asleep. But if you had to be
actively trading it, you'd have to be awake at three
fourteen to see that was happening, and there may have
been no real clue it was going to happen. So
that's what they do. Well, they're seeing a lot of
our listeners. We had a listener it's been seven hundred
thousand dollars with them the other day. Well, that money
comes out of the market. It's a pretty big swing.
(21:26):
And so that's what they do. They're a platform for bitcoins.
So you've got gold is one the platform for bitcoin.
And the other one is a group called Hawthorne Capital,
which is a private equity group in downtown Houston. And
what they do is you put your money into their
private equity fund and they see the writing on the wall.
They're buying land out in the country, rural land. They're
buying it subdividing. They get it all ready for people
(21:49):
to then go in. They're like a developer, if you will,
a rural land out in the country and they're offering
I don't make promises of returns. It's a principal thing
I've done because I'm not the one the return. But
they're offering some pretty impressive returns, and so people are saying, Okay,
I don't know what will happen in the stock market,
(22:12):
but I think that rural land, the higher the crime
rate goes in Houston, in the big cities, and all
the problems that happened and Lena had all go and Rodnielis,
I see the writing on the wall that people are
going out to place this light republic grand range. I
see that people are going out to northwest, They're going
out every different direction. And so this group does that
(22:32):
and it becomes an investment vehicle as an alternative to
the stock market. So aggressive land, private equity, bitcoin, gold.
You're seeing this money presumably being pulled out of the
stock market. Well, a lot of people have been doing this.
That's why our show sponsors are getting all this action
because the media has been reporting, same media that wants
(22:56):
to bring Trump down. Stock Market's going to be down.
He's tanking the stock mark, he's tanking the American economy,
and idiot Dave Portlans is tanking the American economy. Well,
then he held off on the tariffs for ninety days and.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Market Michael Berry fring bias.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Kelly Johnson. He was a Harris County Democrat judge speaking,
I said, here, Bob pick and she is as ghetto
awful as you can imagine, drunk, screaming at people, but
mostly just never comes to court. You know, the perfect ride,
(23:42):
yellows judge. It's not like it's not like he has
a first round draft pick as to who he's putting
on these benches. I mean, I think he goes to
brunch at Turkey leg Hunt and just starts picking from
the crowd and him on the bench. In some of
these girls, I mean, they are a mess, just a mess.
(24:07):
So let's take the case of Judge Kelly Johnson. Back
in July, she reportedly allegedly was rumored and reported to
have trashed her courtroom during a mental health episode. Oh okay, Well,
(24:30):
as long as you're having a mental health episode, who
am I to criticize the fact that a judge did that.
You know, we have to be understanding that when people
in powerful positions do absolutely horrible things, it is not
for us to criticize if in fact they are having
(24:52):
a mental health episode. Do I have to remind you
people that Lena had Algo went missing for three months,
and when finally the question was asked, Hey, where's the
county judge, Rodney just real nonchalant, said, oh, she's in
the nuthouse. She's been in a nuthouse for three months.
(25:15):
It's very brave of her to go to the nuthouse
and get help for being nuts. Whereupon we find out
I didn't know already she had had mental health episodes
in the past, she had melt downs in college. She
(25:38):
knew she had melt downs in college because she was
institutionalized then as well. So what on earth was she
doing running for office knowing that she's as crazy as
a well, you know how that phrase goes. But she did,
and now here we are back again the Merry deVie composition. Y'all, y'all,
(26:00):
I's gonna have to understand sometimes I'm gonna be gone
for months at a time. Nuthouse taxpayers are gonna pay
for it. It's not your time in the nuthouse that scares me.
It's when you bring the nuthouse to the County courthouse
and you start conducting nut activity from the bench. Yeah yeah,
go back over there with one flow over the cuckoos
(26:22):
nest and let Nurse Ratchet deal with you. It's when
you do it behind the gabble of one of the
biggest counties in the country that I happen to live in,
that's when I have prob Okay, So we got Democrat
Judge Kelly Johnson trashed her courtroom. She's pulled over for DWI,
(26:43):
then she's pulled over for DWI again, and then rumor
has it there was a third time. This is a rumor.
I don't know this to be true that was not
reported nor charged. Her court reporter back in July called
a judicial complaint. So her own staff are pointing out
(27:06):
how nuts this lady is. She's back on the bench.
She's made her way back. Here was the story ABC
thirteen from last July where her court reporter, who has
to deal with this every day, followed the report.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
And Judge Johnson's already out on bond for that DWIRS.
She hasn't presided over any cases since all of those
have been reassigned, and now we have this her longtime
court reporter speaking out tonight, she says, because you have
a right to know just how troubling Johnson's alleged behavior is,
and that's both outside and inside the court ram before
(27:42):
that infamous field sobriety tests in April, before the DWI
arrest in June, Gail Rowland says her boss, Judge Kelly Johnson,
was headed down a troubling path. Roland, who served as
court reporter for the one hundred and seventy eighth District
Court since twenty seventeen, releasing a statement exclusively to this
news tonight.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
Quote since January.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
Twenty twenty four, there has been a significant decline in
Judge Johnson's behavior, both professionally and personally.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
In and out of court.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
Many professionals have been involved due to the nature of
her actions and behavior.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
We asked Rollan what this behavior entailed.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
She wasn't comfortable sharing that right now, saying it could
jeopardize any investigation.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
Into Johnson's conduct.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
Her statement goes on to say, quote, due to an
ethical duty to protect the integrity of the judicial system,
attorneys and their clients, as well as the public who
elected her, I felt I had no alternative but to
file a judicial complaint outlining the specifics of her conduct
before the traffic stop and June arrest. In the April
traffic stop, Johnson makes it clear to deputies that she's
(28:46):
a criminal court judge, she is still fid and requests
high ranking officials be called to the scene, and.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
We're not calling Lieutenant Contry and we're not calling Sheriff Gonzales.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Although she failed parts of her field sobriety, deputies decided
she passed enough of it and she was let go
with a warning for speeding. But in late June, when
Houston police say they saw her make it a legal turn,
she was arrested and charged with d WI. Her attorney
insists she blew zero on an alcohol test, but police
say they found prescription pill bottles in her.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Car in November. After all of this, in November, she
was on the ballot and the Republican candidate. She had
not heard a case in over ten months. She had
(29:41):
a judicial complaint filed by her court reporter. She had
multiple television reports of drunk driving, abusive behavior, pills, craziness.
Everybody at the courthouse knows. Even the other Democrats talk
bad about her. There is a well documented conversation she
had with a chronicle order where she was drunk, texting
(30:01):
at night and saying some pretty vile, if funny things
about her fellow judges black Democrat women, mind you, that
got out. The chronicles showed photos with the result of
(30:25):
her tirade. She had turned chairs upside down, she smashed
a printer, women's shoes thrown all about, papers strewn everywhere,
clipboards scattered as if they had been thrown. What is
it about these women like this that they get going
to these rages. You can find this online. They going
to these rages and start throwing things and screaming bitch, bitch,
(30:48):
pulling hair.
Speaker 5 (30:49):
Its nuts.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
I don't know where this is coming from. And the
Republican candidate who ran against her in note Harris County
Wherepublican party didn't run in it againster she won by
(31:16):
default
It's that time, time, time, time, Luck and load. Michael
Verie show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
It's not a place you can get to buy a
boat or chain, is FA.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
This was a huge, I mean a monumental victory for
President Shop, the biggest legal win of this administration so far.
A total embarrassment for crazy Judge Bosburg who's been trying
to force this president to bring foreign alien terraces back
onto American soil, trying to turn our planes around, trying
to empty prisons in foreign countries and bring them back
(00:53):
to our soil. This is a monumental, colossal victory for
the rule of law, for the Constitution, for our founding
generation John Adams who signed this law into effect in
seventeen ninety eight, and for President Trump and fulfilling as.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
We take the long way, take the long way.
Speaker 5 (01:12):
You never see what you want to see.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Paying to the gallery.
Speaker 5 (01:18):
You take the long way home, take the long lane.
Speaker 6 (01:22):
Well, look, I hear the president's plan on this in
the same plan you hand during the first administration. You
concentrate on the public safety threats and the national security
threats first. For THO are the worst to the worst,
So Trump be the worst. First that's how it has
to be done. And we know a recog number picked
on the terrorist watchman's the process border. We know recon
number of terrorists have been released in this country. We've
already wrestled some planning attacks. So look, the President is
(01:46):
dead on when he says criminal threats, national security threats
are going to be prioritized, and that's whay its want
to be.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
This is pretty remarkable.
Speaker 7 (01:53):
The Trump administration has taken that controversial CBP one cell
phone app for migrants that the Biden administration was using
and they've repurposed it into a self deportation app. The
app is now called CBP Home. It allows illegal aliens
in the US to register to self deport They fill
out biographical information including their countries of citizenship, which country
(02:14):
they plan to return to, their alien registration numbers, their
contact information, and it allows them to upload photos of
themselves to confirm their identity. All of it is then
submitted to CBP and they leave the country. So, in
a nutshell, vana Trump just took Biden's program which was
bringing migrants in and has now totally repurposed it to
get them out.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
The media and our friends in the Democrat Party kept
saying we needed new legislation. We must have legislation to
secure the border. But it turned out that all we
really needed was a new president.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Contect the long lane protect Washington State man arrested kidnapped
his ex girlfriend's beloved pet chicken, Polly. Bodycam video shows
the man weeping when arrested, telling officers, don't hurt my chicken.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Show me your hands, that's fine. Just hold your chicken.
I'm not gonna hurt your chicken.
Speaker 7 (03:17):
Get that.
Speaker 8 (03:18):
County Sheriff's deputies confront a man accused of stealing a
chicken while violating an order of protection. The call for
help came from a woman who said her former boyfriend
had shown up at her home in unincorporated Port Orchard
early in the morning of Saturday, March twenty ninth, kicking
in a back door and shouting I've got Polly several
times before running away with the chicken that was inside
(03:38):
the house.
Speaker 5 (03:39):
He shows I got my kitkeen stand up.
Speaker 8 (03:44):
After a search, deputies located the man hiding in a
wooded area on JM.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Dickinson Road.
Speaker 8 (03:50):
Last he was still clutching the chicken as he was
taken into custody.
Speaker 5 (03:56):
You don't know how you put the chicken in here.
Speaker 8 (03:57):
For a second, deputy is allowed to replaced the chicken
safe into a patrol unit before booking him on charges
of residential burglary and violating an order of protection. Casesojail
record showed the fifty year old man had been released
from custody that morning, just two and a half hours
before the incident. After his arrest, Pauli, the chicken, who
was unharmed, was returned to her family.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
The crazy story reports were that he was trying to
push food down the chicken's throat where the chicken couldn't breathe,
and he just kept cramming more and more food and
the chicken was coughing. His as are on and they said, dude,
you're choking your chicken, and he would not stop doing it.
(04:42):
It was crazy. I don't know what this guy was.
Ken Paxton has released his first ad in the campaign
to unseat the swapstress John Cornan John Wayne mccornan, hitting
corn for opposing Trump, the border wall, and gun rights,
saying John Cornyn does not share our values.
Speaker 9 (05:02):
Senator John Cornyn turned his back on President Trump.
Speaker 10 (05:05):
You've said that you think it's time for the Republican
Party to move on from President Trump.
Speaker 6 (05:10):
You know, in politics, unless you could win an elector,
you're pretty much you're will want.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
John corn of Texas told CBS News he simply doesn't
think Donald Trump can get elected president. Quite a statement
from Senator Cornyn.
Speaker 6 (05:22):
Corn N told Fox twenty six he won't be supporting
former President Trump and neither should other Republicans.
Speaker 9 (05:27):
John Corny support jam the speed and says Texans should
just deal with millions of ilegal aliens.
Speaker 6 (05:33):
The American people are a compassionate people that I think
Favord find lays to deal with the twelve million people.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
He even fought to stop President Trump's border wall.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Giant wall from sea to Shining Sea makes no sense whatsoever.
The idea of the wall is somewhat off putting to
a lot of people.
Speaker 10 (05:51):
And when John Cornan joined Joe Biden to take away
our gun rights, President Trump sounded the alum, Yeah, there.
Speaker 1 (05:57):
Are some Republicans, including former President trum who are ripping
this and ripping you as well.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
John corn has decided to take guns from lawful gun owners.
Speaker 4 (06:07):
And if there's one reason you vote Republican, it's prevent that.
Speaker 9 (06:10):
John Cornyn doesn't share our values. It's time for a change.
Ken Paxton is the conservative fighter they couldn't cancel.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
An attorney general who has really led the way, somebody
who has been brave and strong.
Speaker 5 (06:25):
Ken Paxon.
Speaker 9 (06:26):
Ken Paxton is America's most conservative attorney general.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
He sued Joe.
Speaker 11 (06:31):
Biden over one hundred times to stop his lawless agenda.
His attorney general, Ken Paxton protected our gun rights, defended
the right to life, and took on the radical transgender
movement to keep men out of women's sports, locker rooms
and backwards. A fearless conservative has taken on the establishment
(06:53):
and held big techt and big pharma accountant. Now, Ken
Paxton is running for Senate to stand with President Trump
and help.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Him make America great again.
Speaker 10 (07:03):
As our next Senator, Ken Paxton will cut our taxes,
defend our borders, and eliminate old WOLPE programs. John corn
It's funding, stand up for Texas to fight for our future.
Join the Ken Paxton for Senate team today.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
The timing on this gets really interesting and could be
potentially a bit of a thorn because Cornyan is going
to be the Senator from now until January of twenty seven.
So for the next year, let's see what we've got.
(07:45):
A year that this thing's going to be battled out.
And Cornyan is a key vote in the Senate who
Trump meets but I think where to clear, Trump would
rather have Taxton. So this gets really interesting.
Speaker 5 (07:59):
Michael Chocolate Freak, I would.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
Paston announce so early in the race to unseat John Cornyn,
and the answer is to stave off of their challengers.
So Cornyn has the establishment support, and as the sitting
(08:34):
senator who's been there for a long time, he's got
a lot of corporate support, a lot of CEO types
inside money and the lobbyists. So he will start the
race with a huge bank balance and all of the
federal lobbyists will come to his aid, and they will
(08:56):
do so at the direction of the Mitch McConnell coalition,
and that will be the National Association of this and
the National Association of that, and the US Chamber of
Commerce and all the folks that basically buy our government.
And that is usually enough to keep an incumbent in
(09:16):
power because a challenger can't mount a campaign that can't
raise any money. This is a rather unique situation where
Cornyan is going to be challenged in a primary by
a candidate who will raise money and more importantly, has
the base. It's hard to mobilize the base, but Paxton
(09:41):
is very popular with the base. That's how he was
able to defeat the Bush machine in George P. Bush.
And this guy's a fighter. He has mobilized the base
better than anyone I've seen. Let me think about this
(10:07):
for a State of Texas candidate. Because Trump came from outside,
it a little more complicated. What Cruse did in twelve
was pretty shocking, especially because Dewhurst had all the money
and was spending all the money had statewide name Id
had never lost an election. He'd been spending money on
local Republican parties across the country. Dewhurst had done everything.
(10:30):
Dewhurst was unbeatable. That that was the conventional wisdom, and
Cruise managed to pull that off. That was Dohurst doesn't
look as strong today, so people don't understand, but I
can tell you in twenty twelve, Dewhurst had everything going
for him. Defeating Dewhurst putting him into the runoff, which
was when that's when you knew that Chris was going
(10:51):
to win, was a big, big deal. Paxton has a
level of support because of the battles he has fought.
He also has some incredibly powerful people in this state
who are gonna be trying to take his head off.
They do not want him as a US Senator. It's
also going to create a very interesting twenty twenty six.
(11:15):
We're going to see in twenty twenty six the likes
of which we haven't seen in over ten years, which
is a reshuffling of the deck because with Paxton seeking
the US Senate seat, that pops open the attorney general seat.
You know, Glenn Hager moved from comptroller to president of
(11:35):
Texas A and M or chancellor I Guess of Texas
A and M University, So that means the comptroller's position
pops open. So you're gonna have the comptrollers position open.
You're gonna have the Attorney general's position open. And open
is important because as opposed to an incumbent running for
office who might have a challenger, when you have a
(11:55):
seat that pops open, you have people who will make
a move who might not have made a move because
these seats don't come open like that very often. So
now you've got a year where You're going to have
a lot of people positioning for these seats who might
not have done it, but they know if I'm ever
(12:17):
going to make a move, this is going to be
that move. So you're going to have state reps and
maybe some state senators who are going to start looking
at these seats that will open, and then the seats
that they open to run for them will now be
open for someone else to So you see this, you
know the game of what's the game where they play
(12:41):
the music musical chairs, Because again this is a very
important point that when a position is open because it's
being vacated due to death or the person leaving, that
creates an opportunity for people that will make a move
that otherwise would not have or were planning to wait.
(13:01):
So you'll have some first time state reps, for instance,
who will run for I wouldn't be surprised to see
Mitch Little run for attorney general, for instance. That's one
of the things that somebody mentioned to me. I don't
know if that person wanted him to run or had
had a conversation with him. Both of those are possible,
but that would be one of those things. And then
(13:22):
that would of course mean that his state rep seat
would be open. It'll also mean that you're going to
have some transition into coalitions in the House and in
the Senate, because now everything starts moving toward the primary,
the Republican primary, which is going to become very important
in twenty twenty six. You will not have Donald Trump
(13:46):
in that election, so you're going to have a reduced
turnout and you'll have a reduced MAGA turnout typically as
a result, because you won't have Trump at the top
of the ticket, you'll have a who shows up becomes
as important and as how they vote, and people vote
differently in presidential years every quadrinial then they do off years.
(14:07):
This is the reason that school districts hold their bond
elections and their school board elections. They don't hold them
at a time when people are already showing up to
vote because they wouldn't win. And I think Katie asd,
I think our buddy Victor made a mistake out there
by not doing what some other school districts did, and
(14:29):
that is moving the election calendar to the time when
we're already all showing up to vote in November. For
statewide seats, these school districts don't the teachers' unions and
the teacher groups, the education lobby. They don't want these
elections to be held in November when we're already showing
(14:49):
up to vote for Trump, because if we're showing up
to vote for Trump, we're going to vote them out.
But if they have an election that is just their
school board, they use the school and the teachers and
the people who submit bids for the buildings, and the
people who get contracts, and the people who and the
(15:12):
families of the teachers. And that's how they pass these
big bonds, and that's how they get all this money,
and that's how they're their budget grows because they have
an election when nobody is voting on anything else, So
the only people voting are them, because they're voting for
a pay raise for themselves. It's hard to get people
to show up to vote against all that.
Speaker 10 (15:29):
Friend Welcome in the gate is open wide.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
The Michael Berry Show long to be a fight and
Breathe Finanza. Since seven one, three, nine, nine, one thousand ninety,
you either know or you don't what happened with stock market,
and that tends to be related to how actively you
manage your portfolio. Most people do not follow the ups
(16:00):
and downs of the stock market, are the reasons for
the swings very closely, because they may have a four
oh one K or a basic plan and they're not
terribly interested in it. It's not really covered very broadly
considering the the the importance of it. It's not covered
(16:25):
the way whatever AOC says that day is or Jasmine Crockett.
But it has a great deal more to do with
your life than what Jasmine Crockett says. But you know
what Jasmine Crockett says is more. It is more water
cooler conversation. I suppose. Now there is CNBC, and there
are financial sites and those talking, but most people I
(16:46):
find are not very interested in it, don't talk much
about it until it becomes a news story in and
of itself, and then there will be this sweeping reference
to the stock market, and people will dutifully repeat it
because I hear them do that, and that stock market's up,
stock markets stop, market's going to crash, stock market's going
(17:07):
to a little more complicated than that. But let's operate
from that promise for MoMA. So most of the stock market,
most of the stock market dip that we were seeing
was not based on fundamentals. Nobody had lost any money, yet,
(17:28):
nobody was even really sure how they were going to
lose money. It's not true that everyone's going to lose money.
It's not true that tariffs are going to harm everyone.
There are a lot of people making important decisions on
the basis that tariffs are going to hurt people who
don't even really understand how that would happen or who
(17:51):
would be hurt. I've seen it. I've seen it at play. Nevertheless,
those actions are real actions. And I have three show
sponsors who are sort of counterweights to the stock market
because they are alternative places to put your money, and
all three of them have seen a huge upswing during
(18:14):
this One of them is Kenny Duncan Jr. At us
Coins because people buy and sell gold, and he's probably
the biggest I'm sure he's the biggest in Houston, He's
one of the biggest in the country. I speak for
him in Houston, but I also speak for him nationally
on Premiere and we have listeners literally across the country
who are buying and selling gold through US Coins. You
(18:38):
wouldn't believe the volume that they do out of one
building on iten just outside the loop. Wouldn't believe the
volume of people and the volume. Gold hit thirty one
twenty five though that I don't know what it did
after that, but I called him, I had him on
the evening show. For those of you who listened, I
had him on the evening show to talk about this.
(18:58):
This just bump in gold prices. So whether it's up
or down, there's a lot of action in gold and
precious metals, but particularly in gold right now. So that's
one and that money is coming out of the stock market.
A lot of that money is money that was in
the stock market that's being pulled or is on the
sideline and doesn't go in the stock market, think gets
(19:20):
active overnight. So gold is one of them, and gold
is what you would most expect is kind of the
alternative to equities to stocks. Then there is our Bitcoin
show sponsor, which is Archie Public, which is actually a
software platform to get you to bitcoin, which is mostly
(19:42):
the winkle of us twins or clearing those trades, so
you can think of them almost like an e trade
for bitcoin, so you're not buying your bitcoin from them
or selling you. They are easiest way I could explain
it is the stock market's only open a few hours
a day. Bitcoin trades twenty four to seven. So if
(20:03):
you say I'm going to use round numbers, let's say,
and they're not accurate numbers, but let's say you want
to sell bitcoin at eighty five thousand, and if it
gets to eighty five thousand, then sell's that's the point
in which I think is the high, because you want
to buy the dip, and well, you know the job.
So let's say if it gets to eighty five, I
wants you to sell, and if it drops to thirty
(20:25):
one thousand, I want you to buy. And that's your strategy.
You're looking for those two numbers to either buy or sell.
And the problem is, like the day to have a
buddy's a day trader, and he can't do anything when
the stock market is open because if he is exposed
in a trade, he's got to be able to act
on that when it happens, because it might just be
a second. And now they're competing. This is what quantum
(20:45):
was all about. They're competing over being able to trade
within a second or nan a second. Now they're putting
an these high powered lines between Chicago and New York
because you want to get your trade in before the
next guy. Well, this bitcoin arch public is you set
your numbers and your trade may execute at three fourteen
(21:05):
am while you're asleep. But if you had to be
actively trading it, you'd have to be awake at three
fourteen to see that was happening, and there may have
been no real clue it was going to happen. So
that's what they do. Well, they're seeing a lot of
our listeners. We had a listener it's been seven hundred
thousand dollars with them the other day. Well, that money
comes out of the market. It's a pretty big swing.
(21:26):
And so that's what they do. They're a platform for bitcoins.
So you've got gold is one the platform for bitcoin.
And the other one is a group called Hawthorne Capital,
which is a private equity group in downtown Houston. And
what they do is you put your money into their
private equity fund and they see the writing on the wall.
They're buying land out in the country, rural land. They're
buying it subdividing. They get it all ready for people
(21:49):
to then go in. They're like a developer, if you will,
a rural land out in the country and they're offering
I don't make promises of returns. It's a principal thing
I've done because I'm not the one the return. But
they're offering some pretty impressive returns, and so people are saying, Okay,
I don't know what will happen in the stock market,
(22:12):
but I think that rural land, the higher the crime
rate goes in Houston, in the big cities, and all
the problems that happened and Lena had all go and Rodnielis,
I see the writing on the wall that people are
going out to place this light republic grand range. I
see that people are going out to northwest, They're going
out every different direction. And so this group does that
(22:32):
and it becomes an investment vehicle as an alternative to
the stock market. So aggressive land, private equity, bitcoin, gold.
You're seeing this money presumably being pulled out of the
stock market. Well, a lot of people have been doing this.
That's why our show sponsors are getting all this action
because the media has been reporting, same media that wants
(22:56):
to bring Trump down. Stock Market's going to be down.
He's tanking the stock mark, he's tanking the American economy,
and idiot Dave Portlans is tanking the American economy. Well,
then he held off on the tariffs for ninety days and.
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Market Michael Berry fring bias.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
Kelly Johnson. He was a Harris County Democrat judge speaking,
I said, here, Bob pick and she is as ghetto
awful as you can imagine, drunk, screaming at people, but
mostly just never comes to court. You know, the perfect ride,
(23:42):
yellows judge. It's not like it's not like he has
a first round draft pick as to who he's putting
on these benches. I mean, I think he goes to
brunch at Turkey leg Hunt and just starts picking from
the crowd and him on the bench. In some of
these girls, I mean, they are a mess, just a mess.
(24:07):
So let's take the case of Judge Kelly Johnson. Back
in July, she reportedly allegedly was rumored and reported to
have trashed her courtroom during a mental health episode. Oh okay, Well,
(24:30):
as long as you're having a mental health episode, who
am I to criticize the fact that a judge did that.
You know, we have to be understanding that when people
in powerful positions do absolutely horrible things, it is not
for us to criticize if in fact they are having
(24:52):
a mental health episode. Do I have to remind you
people that Lena had Algo went missing for three months,
and when finally the question was asked, Hey, where's the
county judge, Rodney just real nonchalant, said, oh, she's in
the nuthouse. She's been in a nuthouse for three months.
(25:15):
It's very brave of her to go to the nuthouse
and get help for being nuts. Whereupon we find out
I didn't know already she had had mental health episodes
in the past, she had melt downs in college. She
(25:38):
knew she had melt downs in college because she was
institutionalized then as well. So what on earth was she
doing running for office knowing that she's as crazy as
a well, you know how that phrase goes. But she did,
and now here we are back again the Merry deVie composition. Y'all, y'all,
(26:00):
I's gonna have to understand sometimes I'm gonna be gone
for months at a time. Nuthouse taxpayers are gonna pay
for it. It's not your time in the nuthouse that scares me.
It's when you bring the nuthouse to the County courthouse
and you start conducting nut activity from the bench. Yeah yeah,
go back over there with one flow over the cuckoos
(26:22):
nest and let Nurse Ratchet deal with you. It's when
you do it behind the gabble of one of the
biggest counties in the country that I happen to live in,
that's when I have prob Okay, So we got Democrat
Judge Kelly Johnson trashed her courtroom. She's pulled over for DWI,
(26:43):
then she's pulled over for DWI again, and then rumor
has it there was a third time. This is a rumor.
I don't know this to be true that was not
reported nor charged. Her court reporter back in July called
a judicial complaint. So her own staff are pointing out
(27:06):
how nuts this lady is. She's back on the bench.
She's made her way back. Here was the story ABC
thirteen from last July where her court reporter, who has
to deal with this every day, followed the report.
Speaker 4 (27:22):
And Judge Johnson's already out on bond for that DWIRS.
She hasn't presided over any cases since all of those
have been reassigned, and now we have this her longtime
court reporter speaking out tonight, she says, because you have
a right to know just how troubling Johnson's alleged behavior is,
and that's both outside and inside the court ram before
(27:42):
that infamous field sobriety tests in April, before the DWI
arrest in June, Gail Rowland says her boss, Judge Kelly Johnson,
was headed down a troubling path. Roland, who served as
court reporter for the one hundred and seventy eighth District
Court since twenty seventeen, releasing a statement exclusively to this
news tonight.
Speaker 5 (28:01):
Quote since January.
Speaker 4 (28:02):
Twenty twenty four, there has been a significant decline in
Judge Johnson's behavior, both professionally and personally.
Speaker 5 (28:09):
In and out of court.
Speaker 4 (28:11):
Many professionals have been involved due to the nature of
her actions and behavior.
Speaker 5 (28:16):
We asked Rollan what this behavior entailed.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
She wasn't comfortable sharing that right now, saying it could
jeopardize any investigation.
Speaker 5 (28:23):
Into Johnson's conduct.
Speaker 4 (28:25):
Her statement goes on to say, quote, due to an
ethical duty to protect the integrity of the judicial system,
attorneys and their clients, as well as the public who
elected her, I felt I had no alternative but to
file a judicial complaint outlining the specifics of her conduct
before the traffic stop and June arrest. In the April
traffic stop, Johnson makes it clear to deputies that she's
(28:46):
a criminal court judge, she is still fid and requests
high ranking officials be called to the scene, and.
Speaker 5 (28:54):
We're not calling Lieutenant Contry and we're not calling Sheriff Gonzales.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Although she failed parts of her field sobriety, deputies decided
she passed enough of it and she was let go
with a warning for speeding. But in late June, when
Houston police say they saw her make it a legal turn,
she was arrested and charged with d WI. Her attorney
insists she blew zero on an alcohol test, but police
say they found prescription pill bottles in her.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Car in November. After all of this, in November, she
was on the ballot and the Republican candidate. She had
not heard a case in over ten months. She had
(29:41):
a judicial complaint filed by her court reporter. She had
multiple television reports of drunk driving, abusive behavior, pills, craziness.
Everybody at the courthouse knows. Even the other Democrats talk
bad about her. There is a well documented conversation she
had with a chronicle order where she was drunk, texting
(30:01):
at night and saying some pretty vile, if funny things
about her fellow judges black Democrat women, mind you, that
got out. The chronicles showed photos with the result of
(30:25):
her tirade. She had turned chairs upside down, she smashed
a printer, women's shoes thrown all about, papers strewn everywhere,
clipboards scattered as if they had been thrown. What is
it about these women like this that they get going
to these rages. You can find this online. They going
to these rages and start throwing things and screaming bitch, bitch,
(30:48):
pulling hair.
Speaker 5 (30:49):
Its nuts.
Speaker 1 (30:50):
I don't know where this is coming from. And the
