Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. So
Michael Very show is on the air.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
I love you.

Speaker 3 (00:16):
You complete me.

Speaker 4 (00:23):
Just has shut up, just shut You had me at hello,
You had me at Hello.

Speaker 5 (00:33):
One of the things that I thought was also very
good this week was obviously Senator van Holland going to
El Salvador.

Speaker 6 (00:40):
He was able to meet with a Brago Garcia. He
is an illegal alien, a foreign terrorist, and a criminal
MS thirteen gang member who violated our country's laws by
coming here in the first place. And shame on Senator
Chris van Holland and the entire Democrat party who wasted

(01:01):
Easter Sunday going on every television show in the country
to advocate for the return of an illegal, criminal gang member.
Can you say with absolute certainty that he is not,
nor has he ever been a member of the MS
thirteen gang.

Speaker 7 (01:17):
And did you ask him point blank?

Speaker 3 (01:19):
I didn't ask him that because I know what his
answer is. What he told me was he was sad
and traumatized that he was being in prison because he
has committed no crimes. It's good to be home now.

(01:57):
We need to end the legal abduction of Kilmar or
Bago Garcia and bring him home to look. I'm a
little sleep deprived, and I want to be as clear
as possible about what this is about and what it's
not about. So I'm going to read the remarks that

(02:19):
I wrote on the plane ride home. As the federal
courts have said, we need to bring mister Abrego Garcia
poem to protect his constitutional rights to do process.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Democrats Senerer Chris van Holland, who nobody in there knew
of before all this, has decided to take a page
out of aoc or Jasmine Crockett's playbook. He decided to
go to El Salvador to visit an MS thirteen gang member. Now,
what is particularly interesting about this case is that Trend

(03:25):
de Arragua and other gang members in the United States
who have been deported by the Trump administration are being
sent to El Salvador. Naive Bukelea, the president of El Salvador,
who is my favorite non American world leader right now,
has opened his prisons to take in our deportees, and

(03:50):
we're sending them from Venezuela. There was a ruling, I
think it was Friday night or Saturday night by the
Supreme Court saying that the president may no longer deport
trend de Arragua Venezuelan gang members from Texas to El Salvador.

(04:13):
And I'm reminded of the case in eighteen thirty two
Andrew Jackson, who was in many ways like Trump. He
was a populist, he was brash, was opinionated, he was fearless.
So Chief Justice Marshall, who any person who goes through

(04:34):
law school will tell you what a legend Chief Justice
Marshall was. He was really would be considered probably one
of the three great three greatest justices of all time.
A legend, truly a legend. But it's important to understand

(04:55):
that the Supreme Court did not have their own building,
Supreme Court building that we know of today until nineteen
thirty five. Until that time, believe it or not, the
Supreme Court actually met in an overflow room, an extra
room in the House Congressional Building, one of the House

(05:18):
Congressional buildings. They would literally walk into a room with
no pomp and circumstance and sit down the way you
would at an extra conference room at a hotel. Until
nineteen thirty five, this idea of giving the Supreme Court
such authority to be able to prevent the president from

(05:42):
being able to conduct his business is not new, but
it does create something of a constitutional crisis. Andrew Jackson
eighteen thirty two. The case was known as Georgia versus Webster,
and the basics of the case were that it had
been determined that a tribe I think it was in

(06:07):
Tennis had to be Georgia, a tribe in Georgia was sovereign,
and that the people could not be relocated from the reservation,
and Jackson was trying to relocate them. And Jackson had
a long history, as did Sam Houston with American Indians,

(06:27):
for and against at war and trading with and working
with long relationship with American Indians, and it had been determined,
or he was being challenged, that you cannot move these
Indians from this reservation to another reservation because they are
a sovereign nation. They are sovereign, you have no authority

(06:50):
over them. We had a case history repeats itself a
few years ago, maybe four or five years ago. Well
remember in Oklahoma where it was also so ruled. Which
creates a real interesting situation that folks. I mean, it's
not the top news story, and we live in crazy times,
so nobody talks about it, but she's very odd. Anyway,

(07:11):
back to Andrew Jackson, He's he said, I see you're ruling,
Justice Marshall, Now enforce it. In other words, you can
sell you want. I'm doing what I'm doing and you
can't stop me. So there's a meme going around. It

(07:34):
kind of makes the point. What if a district judge
in one one district court, federal judge in I guess
it would have to be the Union because they the
Confederates Confederate states had cut away. But what if one
district court judge in Indiana had declared that Abraham Lincoln
does not have the authority to make the Emancipation Proclamation.

(07:58):
By this theory, one little district court judge would be
able to prevent the president from executing his authority. You know,
people get uncomfortable at how these things work out in
these conflicts. These conflicts are as old as our nation.
These conflicts have to be worked out, They should be

(08:19):
worked out. Should everything shouldn't work. Remember checks and balances.
Checks and balances means fights. The Michael Berry Show. So
Chris van Holland, the Senator from Maryland, nobody has heard
of it before, went down to El Salvador. He was
not welcomed there. President Bouqueley did not want him there.

(08:42):
They wouldn't. They refuse to meet with him. But he
went down there to meet with this gang banging MS
thirteen member. Now, a woman named Rachel Morn lost her
daughter to an illegal alien and has begged for a
meeting with Chris van Holland and says he would not
give it. The Democrats are in love with all the

(09:07):
wrong people, and I'm here to tell you I hope
that continues because they'll never win another election national election
at this pace. They are out of touch with the
American people. But after this meeting it got so bad.
He sits with this guy. He claims the guy's not

(09:28):
MS thirteen, And then he was asked, did you ask him?

Speaker 3 (09:34):
No?

Speaker 1 (09:35):
Why would you? Why would you write when you're arguing
that he's not MS thirteen, a terrorist organization that has
killed so many people in this country and others, Why
would you ask him despite the fact that you've been
telling everyone that he's not on a legal alien. That interesting. Well,

(10:00):
he goes down there, they have their meeting, they make out,
I guess, and then they have Margarita's But he tries
the Bill Clinton response and says, but I didn't drink it,
And then the CNN anchors were making the point if

(10:23):
you look at the salt on the rim, you don't
see an indentation. They're having to argue whether the two
margarita's in front of these guys, whether they actually drank
them or not. He tried the Bill Clinton. Yeah, I
mean I held the duchy, but I didn't puff on it.

(10:45):
I didn't Inhale. Sorry I puffed on it. I didn't Inhale.
Oh okay, let me guess you did not have sex
with that woman Monica Lewinsky either, Right, So then Chris
van Holland gets back. He's talking to Fox News, and
guess who paid for that trip to go see that

(11:08):
illegal alien that he is so determined that terrorists be
backed on American soil. You the taxpayer who did pay
for this trip.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
This was a officially cleared congressional trips spaces, Yes, like
every other.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
Trip, which is reminiscent of the congress. What Sheila Jackson
lee when she was asked the very same question by
Joel Eisenbaum.

Speaker 3 (11:34):
Who paid for that trip for you to go to
that memorial service?

Speaker 8 (11:38):
Well, that those resources are resources that I have, and
therefore they are in a way that does not interfere
with anything that has to do with serving the United
States Congress understood. So public funds or those resources are
resources that I have.

Speaker 1 (11:58):
Classy lady name a terminal at the airport for her. Okay,
let's hear those back to back again, because those are
so similar.

Speaker 3 (12:05):
Who did pay for this trip? This was a officially
cleared you know, congressional trip. Clear, Yes, like every other trip,
paid for that trip for you to go to that
memorial service.

Speaker 8 (12:19):
Well, that those resources are resources that I have, and
therefore they are in a way that does not interfere
with anything that has to do with serving the United
States Congress understood.

Speaker 6 (12:34):
So public funds.

Speaker 8 (12:36):
Or those resources are resources that I have.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
Okay, then what happens when bad people end up in
political office, Well, the water rises, drainage doesn't get funded,
problems occur, criminals get put back out on the street
again and again and again. The fact pattern on this
one is hard to keep straight. So I'm going to

(13:00):
lay it out before the story so it'll make sense
to you, and I'm not sure it will. So a
thug has been sentenced to death. Okay, that's the good part.
Here is the fact pattern. He murdered a mother, a father,
and their six year old daughter while wounding their ten

(13:21):
year old daughter. Okay, And he took the one year
old baby in the apartment by the hair, picked it
up and swung it at the wall in an apartment
complex in southwest Houston where this all went down. The
mother who was killed, along with her husband, daughter, and

(13:45):
two of her kids were wounded. The mother had a
brief affair with another woman that hell had no fury
like a woman's gorned that woman with whom she had
had the fleeing hired the thug to murder the mother

(14:06):
and the father and her whole family as revenge. And
here's the part watched on FaceTime as he executed them.
Box twenty six with the.

Speaker 5 (14:19):
Story for twenty four days, jurors have walked down this
hall in the Harris County Courthouse into the ceremonial court
where they heard testimony and the Xavier Davis capital murder case.

Speaker 6 (14:30):
Who's holding a gun a to harmony Carhey's head as
she sat there coward.

Speaker 5 (14:37):
Down The testimony intense and twenty twenty one Xavier Davis
killed twenty nine year olds don Yavia Lagway, thirty five
year old Gregory Carhy, and their six year old daughter,
Harmony Carhe and their fondren wrote home while the couple's
other ten year old daughter watched. She was also shot
and played dead while shielding her one year old brother.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
No matter how angry we are with that person, we
don't execute people who are mentally disabled. The eighth Amendment
of the United States Constitution says we don't enforce cruel
and unusual punishment.

Speaker 5 (15:10):
Jury selection began February, and on March twenty fourth, Davis
pleaded guilty to three counts of capital murder, moving the
trial into the punishment phase.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
All for money. This was about greed. There was nothing
more to it. This defendant was selfish.

Speaker 2 (15:25):
He was greedy, He wanted what wasn't his, and he
was willing to.

Speaker 4 (15:28):
Kill for it.

Speaker 5 (15:29):
The jury deliberated for over four hours, and here in
this courtroom is where they sentenced Davis to death.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
My family and I have the emotion and life and.

Speaker 5 (15:43):
David the victim's family, still reeling. Outside the courtroom, Davis's
mom shared her thoughts only with Fox.

Speaker 8 (15:55):
My sympathy goes out to this family and no shame
data any family win, none, no family wind.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
And I'm deeply sad from this.

Speaker 5 (16:06):
It is a relief to know that Xavier Davis got
the outcome and the sentence he deserved, that this family
got justice. The emotions were high for both sides in
this courtroom, and the state says they're ultimately pleased with
the verdicts that the jury came to.

Speaker 1 (16:23):
A mother was murdered, a father was murdered, a child
was murdered, another was wounded, and a one year old
almost died. They're all black, and there won't be a protest,
there won't be a press conference because, as Jesse Jackson said,
it's military captain.

Speaker 6 (16:45):
Something wong, Well, something must be right.

Speaker 1 (16:49):
You are listening to Michael Barry. David Malesby, the pastor
and executive director of PTSD Foundation of America, which is
Can't Hope sins a daily email that sets off all
my neuroses because at my request, he sends out an
email every day of someone who has done something for

(17:12):
our veteran residence at Camp Hope, and he calls it
Today's Champions and he does the capital C and then
a capital H that being for Camp Hope. So it's
today's champions. But it looks like, you know, this is
a common thing that I do and you probably do
as well, where you'll accidentally capitalize the second letter. So

(17:33):
it sets me off every day when I see it,
But I get it, I guess. But today is We
want to extend our heartfelt thanks to Katie's angels, Jacob
Lincoln Construction and Jake Godfried for making this past Easter
Sunday at Camp Hope truly special. You know what's interesting

(17:57):
about that, Well, that'd be interesting if he's Jewish. Jewish
fellow send an Italian food to the folks on Eastern No,
I mean it's cool, it's cool. I just think it's interesting.
Thanks to their generosity and support, our veterans and their
families were treated to a beautiful day of fellowship, indulgent

(18:18):
Italian cuisine, sweet treats, and uplifting worship. It was more
than just a meal. It was a powerful reminder of love,
renewaling community. Moments like these are what make a lasting
impact in the lives of our warriors healing from PTSD.
Your time, effort, and heart are deeply appreciated from all
of us. At Camp Hope in the PTSD Foundation of America.

(18:40):
Thank you for your blessing. Thank you for blessing us
this Easter. David Malsby, So, Katie's Angels was created by
this fellow, Jake Gottfried. I don't know if it was Jewish.
I just just seemed kind of interesting. I don't know
why I brought that up, But Jake Godfreed, thank you
very much much for doing that. And he founded an

(19:02):
organization called Katie's Angels, which focuses on providing essentials for
those in need. So if you know that fellow Jake Godfrey,
tell him thank you on behalf of our veterans and
those of us who love them. That's really really cool.
Borders are Tom Homan talking about Senator Chris van Holland's

(19:25):
stunts of going down to El Salvador.

Speaker 7 (19:29):
Senator Van Holland has obviously got a chance to meet
with him, but he had to travel to El Salvador
to get any information. Is that concern you at all?
I mean, these are people sent by the United I mean,
in his case, were sent by the United States, and
and and not even a US senator could get any
information about his about his whereabouts or the condition of

(19:50):
his incarciation without actually going down and making the trip
Tel Salvador himself.

Speaker 4 (19:55):
We obviously knew he's where, he's wen't there to see him.
But you know, what's what's what's what? By the more
than that, as a US center travel off salver on
taxpayer dime to meet with an MS thirteen gang member,
public safety threat, terrorists, and in the meantime, the day
before he traveled, illego alien was arrested from murder were
leased to the streets rather than honoring an ICE detainer

(20:18):
in his very own state. What concerns me is Van
Hallen never went to the border the last four years
on Joe Biden when he had six hundred percent increase
in sex trafficking women and children. You have a record
number of no inspected terrorists cross that border. You had
a quarterminion Americans diving fat and all overdose of open border.
You got over four thousand illego aliens died making that journey,
which is a historic record. What shocks me is he's

(20:41):
remained silent on the travesty that happened our southern border.
Many people died, thousands of people died. I met with
hundreds of Angel moms and dads who buried their children
that were murdered about illego alien. How many Angel moms
and dads that has he met in the state of Maryland,
That's what concerns me.

Speaker 1 (21:01):
A Democrat judge in New Mexico resigned last month. The
a magistrate by the name of Joel Cano or Joel Kno,
I don't know how he pronounces it. In Dounia, Anna
County resigned from the bench where he had sat since

(21:22):
twenty eleven. He wrote a resignation letter, but he didn't
manage to mention why he was stepping down. So I'll
tell you. A man awaiting deportation proceedings accused by federal
law enforcement of being affiliated with a Venezuelan gang that's

(21:45):
Trende Ragua was arrested at the judge's home. Woo Christian
Ortega Lopez, twenty three, faces federal fire charges after Homeland
Security investigations executed a search warrant on February twenty eighth

(22:06):
at a Los Crusius residence owned by Kano and his wife, Nancy.
This fellow didn't just enter the country through the back door.
The Democrat Kano was first elected as a magistrate judge
in twenty ten and ran unopposed in three subsequent elections,

(22:26):
winning his fourth term in twenty twenty two. In New
Mexico Federal District Court. Prosecutors argue that Ortega Lopez is
a flight risk and a danger to the community. Do
it due to an alleged criminal history, including ties to
the trende Aragua gang in Venezuela, a criminal complaint alleged

(22:49):
Ortega Lopez admitted to possessing and firing them, as seen
in photos and videos posted on Facebook last December. Previously,
Ortega Lopez was accused of in the United States by
scaling a barbed wire fence near Eagle Pass, Texas. After
three days in Border Patrol custody, he was released on
humanitarian parole ahead of deportation proceedings due to overcrowded facilities

(23:14):
at the Border Patrol South the Rado Texas Processing Center
or Tega Lopez remains in custody without bond at the
Donia on A County detention center awaiting a detention hearing.
You've got a Democrat judge with a trend Day Arragua,

(23:40):
the worst violent terror organization living in his house. My goodness,
he's lucky that fellow didn't cut off his head. I mean,
anything could happen, Ramon, anything could happen. You wonder, it's

(24:07):
as if you it's as if you went out looking
for the freakiest, most wicked, perverse, evil America hating individuals
lined everybody up and said, yep, you you, you, you, you, y'all.
Come on, y'all are going to be the Democrat elected officials.

(24:28):
I mean, you can't come up with this stuff. Don't
tell me there are good Democrats. Don't tell me that
because they still support Kamala Harris, they still supported Joe Biden.
Damn it all right, This is Mark Chestnut and jar
Bizaar of talk Radio. So, as we told you earlier,

(24:52):
Pope Francis has passed. One of many places read commentary
is called the free press. I would encourage that for you,
or I would recommend it to you. I commend it
to you, but I'm always careful when I commend things
that some people don't want to read anything other than

(25:16):
the beatification of Trump. Trump is great, Trump is wonderful.
Trump is this, Trump is this. They don't want any homos,
They don't they don't want anybody that in any way
might bother them, and that is not the free press.
But it tends to be very good commentary if you
want to balance out commentary. It is certainly not left wing.

(25:39):
In fact, it was created as a reaction to Barry
Weiss leaving The New York Times, where she was beloved,
And but for the fact that the left turns on
their own, there are a lot of these people like
Elon who would not be on our side. Joe Rogan
wouldn't And I'm not saying Rogan is on our side necessarily,

(25:59):
but I'm saying that the left turning on these people,
Matt Taibi has made them. For that matter, Bill Maher
is saying things he wouldn't have said otherwise. But I
just thought it was interesting they write the Passion of
Pope Francis. There's a striking symmetry in the timing of

(26:20):
Francis's death. The most influential figure of the global left
departs just as right wing populism rises around the world,
and Francis Rocca, who wrote the article, says some Catholics
are doubtless mourning less deeply than others today. Yet at

(26:43):
his most iconic Pope Francis could be a unifying, solitary presence.
Pope Francis was not a unifying presence. That is not true.
You are not required to say something nice about someone
when they die. You can main silent, but don't say

(27:03):
things about a person that are not true, because that's dishonest.
This pope was not unifying. He was accused by others
within the Church to be part of the WEF globalist elite.
He pushed their agenda. He meddled in America's political affairs

(27:24):
inconsistent with his own life. He lived behind walls, and
yet he didn't want us defending ourselves against the growing
Catholic menace of Central and South America that was coming
to this country. I didn't appreciate that, I'll have you know, Ramon.

(27:45):
So I was reading this morning on the process upon
the passing of a pope. Number one confirmation of death,
and I'm going to get some of these pronunciations wrong.
So I'm just going to tell you right now the Tammerlingo,
the Chamberlain of the Holy Roman Church, officially confirms the

(28:05):
post's the pope's death. Traditionally, he gently calls the pope's
baptismal name three times. If there's no response, he declares
the Pope dead. I better not. I was gonna make
a joke, but I won't because there are some people

(28:29):
out there who want to show how righteous they are
a by sending me an email. You should have said that, Yeah,
I should. Laughter is what we deal. Laughter is what
we do. You expect you want me to laugh at anyway?
Interesting the whispering in the ear. There is an Indian
tradition for Indian Hindus called a nam Kurun, which is
a naming ceremony, and traditionally the ceremony is not The

(28:53):
baby is not named at birth. There is a ceremony
later where the families all come together and learn the
baby's name and it's held as a secret, and tradition
goes that the mother will first whisper the name into
the baby's ear. It's the first time the baby hears
their name, and then the mother will turn and tell

(29:14):
everyone else what the name of the baby is. They
thought that was nice. The whispering in the ear made
me think of it. So the Chamberlain of the Holy
Roman Church has confirmed the Pope's death by whispering his
name three times, and when he doesn't respond, then he
is declared dead. Then there is what is known as

(29:34):
the destruction of the fisherman's ring. The fisherman's ring is
a signet, you know how green lantern or eur. People
have that ring that they would use to stamp things.
That's the signet ring. His is known as the fisherman's ring.
That's what he seals official documents with that is broken

(29:54):
in the presence of the cardinals. That prevents its misuse
and symbolizes the end of the pope's authority. This Pope
is no longer pope. No documents can be signed in
his name, So that would be the equivalent of turning
off the auto pen when Joe Biden left the White House.
Next is the official announcement. The Vatican makes an official

(30:16):
public announcement the pope has passed. Bells may toll and
mourning customs begin, including the flying of flags at half
staff in some places, followed by nine days of mourning,
a period of official morning last nine days during which
masses are offered for the repose of the pope's soul.

(30:37):
The body is prepared and displayed in Saint Peter's Basilica
for public veneration. You know, I was reading about Saint
Peter this weekend, and he and some other of the
disciples who would go out and preach, was crucified. And
he was crucified upside down because he said he was

(30:58):
not worthy of being rucified as Christ had been the
death of the disciples. And they all, they all are
put to death, save one who dies based on his
betrayal of Christ, and you know who that is. They
are all put to death. It is it's sort of
like reading about the signing of the Declaration of Independence today.

(31:20):
We think of it as you know, these great men
and they were, but they lost their lives. It's yeah.
Burial the pope is traditionally buried in the crypt beneath
Saint Peter's Basilica, though he may request another resting place.
The body is usually placed in three coffins, wood lead

(31:41):
and another wooded coffin, each placed inside the other. Then
there is then there's what is known as the vacant sea.
During this time, all governance of the church is paused,
except for routine matters handled by the camer Lingo. No
new appointments or major decisions can be made until a
new Pope is elected, and you remember what's next. Preparations

(32:05):
for the conclave. The College of Cardinals gathers in Rome
after at least fifteen days but no more than twenty
days following the pope's death, the conclave begins to elect
a new pope. Only cardinals under eighty years old are
eligible to vote. Then there is the conclave held in
the assisting chapel under strict secrecy. Voting continues until a

(32:29):
candidate receives two thirds majority. After a successful vote, the
elected cardinal is asked, do you accept your canonical election
as Supreme Pontiff. If he says yes, he chooses a
papal name. The new pope is announced. The cardinal proto
Deacon steps onto the balcony of Saint Peter's Basilica and

(32:51):
declares Pabema's popham, which means we have ourselves a pope.
The new Pope then appears and gives his first urbi
et orbi blessing. And then you have a pope and
somebody runs the whole real estate in part I'm just
kidding them on. Don't be upset, don't be upset. Yeah,
you make no, no, you make Baptist jokes. I get

(33:12):
to make Catholic jokes. The problem is, no, I won't.
I won't. I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna
do There's no reason to alienate a bunch of Catholics.
I do love the Catholic traditions, don't get me wrong. No,
I love the corporate I mean the church. So a

(33:33):
Muslim walks into the conclave and
