Good morning, Texas. Listen to the song Good morning Texas.
Ore in your car, Good morning, Texas.
Speaker 7 (01:15):
Commonia is on his knee, and we're.
Speaker 9 (01:18):
Happy to be here to talk about everything. Hey, good morning,
we're not wearing pants. Good morning, Texas. Good morning, Texas.
Good moring, Texas, Good morning. Wake up, it's all si.
Speaker 6 (01:43):
Let's speak goddamn.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Let's talk about boring legal stuff. It turns out to
be extraordinarily important. There was a case that Rodney Ellis managed,
at the sorrow's direction, to use to make Harris County
(02:17):
very very dangerous, to tie the hands of judges. And
that case was known as the O'Donnell case. It was
a misdemeanor bail reform.
Speaker 7 (02:30):
Case.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
The case was brought basically that if it were to win,
would destroy our criminal justice system as we know it. Well,
the state typically would respond and defend against this. But
what they did is put down their guns and said, ah, yes, okay,
(02:58):
if that's what you want, we will enter into a
consent decree. We will agree with you. Our system is
very flawed, and gosh, you won, so we'll give you
everything you want. It was a picture of Lena Hidalgo
(03:19):
and Rodney Ellis cheering their hands up in the air
when the decree was signed. Well wait, what, this wasn't
something our side the people brought. This was brought by
people who didn't want the laws enforced against you. Why
(03:40):
would you be so happy to agree with them? Well,
that case has caused a lot of problems. Yesterday, the
Texas Attorney General filed a motion to intervene Attorney General
course being Ken Paxton in the O'Donnell case and a
motion to vacate the O'Donnell consent decree. The consent decree again,
(04:05):
and I know you know this is where both sides agree.
We agree on that there are four Republican misdemeanor judges
who should have been fighting back against the O'Donnell consent decree. Well,
fortunately Attorney General Ken Paxton is fighting for this, and
(04:27):
him running for the Senate is a good thing. Sometimes
when people are running for office, they'll take even bigger
swings for the fences, and that's good for us. The
attorney The motion to intervene reads the Attorney General of
Texas seeks to intervene in the case under Federal Rule
of Civil Procedure twenty four A two intervention as of right,
(04:49):
or alternatively twenty four B one B permissive intervention. The
goal is to defend our states bail procedures and ensure
compliance with state law, particularly in light of recent legislative
changes and in the interim judicial rulings. So the Attorney
(05:13):
General claims what's called a direct substantial legally protectable interest
in the case rooted in texas sovereign interest in enforcing
its own laws, ensuring public safety which we've lost, and
managing its criminal justice system. So then you go to
state laws Senate Bill six in twenty twenty one, Senate
(05:34):
Bill nine that was just passed, which govern bail practices.
So what we've done is ever since the consent decree.
See the Democrats are very good at this, ever since
the dissent consent decree. Then we have to come back
two years later and try to rewrite the laws again.
(05:54):
And there's an alternative basis for intervention called permissive intervention.
But what the Attorney general is requesting is permission to
intervene to defend our interests and ensure the consent decree
aligns with state law. Well we know that it doesn't,
and then you can go through the pleadings from there.
(06:16):
The victim in this case is absolutely positively frightened because
the guy just received a pr bond, which is a
personal reconnaissance bond, and you remember what that means. That
means that that person simply signs and says, yeah, I'll
(06:39):
come back whenever you want me to. That case, I
believe is a Jane Doe case. I don't believe her
name is known, and I don't intend to state her name. Now,
that will be an interesting development because if in fact
we can get Donald thrown out, it will remove the
(07:05):
argument by Harris County's Democrat judges that they've made in
bad faith that they have to let these bad guys
go when they bring them in. Coop brings a guy in.
He's got blood all over him. We know that the
victim has been stabbed fifteen times. This guy's got blood
all over him. Maybe still has a knife in his
back pocket. We'll need to remove that before we go
into the courtroom. He's got blood all over and saying, yeah,
(07:27):
I did it. Now I want to go home, and
these judges are sending them out on their way. Well,
we know that people who commit crimes commit more crimes,
and we know that of the people who commit crimes,
they've committed crimes in the past. So there's the ninety
nine percent of us that are out here trying to
live our lives, just hoping that they don't get to
(07:49):
us because they're going to steal somebody's car, put a
gun in somebody's face, rape somebody, traffic in children. They're
going to do a burgla home, They're going to do
that to somebody and We're just out here because we
don't have a system that's defending us, hoping that they
don't find us. That's no way to live. We've gonna
(08:13):
ad a little bit about these warhouses I know all about.
Ramon wants to know what around the world is.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Whistling bungholes, spleen splitters, whisker biscuits, honkey riders, hooskerdoes hohosker
don'ts nips and dazers, whether without the scooter stick or
one single whistling kiddy Jason Michael.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
It was thirty five years ago today, Texas blues man
Stevie Rayvoughon died in a helicopter crash on the way
to Chicago from a concert in Alpine Valley, East Troy, Wisconsin.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
He was born in.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
The Oak Cliff section of Dallas on October third, nineteen
fifty four. Became enthralled with music, watching and learning from
his older brother Jimmy, who would be the driving force
behind the Fabulous Thunderbirds many years later, he would teach
himself to play the guitar before he was even a teen.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
He would end up with.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
A band called Double Trouble, which was a regional sensation
and then in the eighties he would win four Grammys,
clean up his life, and shortly thereafter, at the height
of his career the helicopter crash. Fifteen hundred people would
attend his memorial service in Dallas thirty five years ago today,
(09:37):
Stevie Rayvohon passed One of the greatest monuments to him
in I've ever seen constructed is at Zilker Park in Austin,
right next to the water. And he was not a
very tall fella. I don't know what he was, five seven,
maybe five eight, maybe probably five to seven. But the
(10:01):
way the monument of what would that be ramon not brass?
What do they call that copper? It would be copper. No,
if it was, it melted down, I can't remember what.
But anyway, it shows Stevie Rayvaughan. But behind him is
(10:23):
a shadow, a shadow that grows wider with the distance
behind it. For artistic merit alone, whatever you thought of
Stevie rayvaugh it's pretty darn cool. The fact that it
represents the influence he had on so many other musicians
that they've professed I thought was incredibly well done. Well,
(10:47):
you know about the green dildos on the court at
the n w NBA game the women's basketball fights. Now
we've had green dildos tossed on the greens during the
PGA FedEx Cup. Green dildo was tossed on the field
during the Vikings versus Titans game in Nashville.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
There was.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Fleetwood and his partner Patrick Kentley on the eighteenth green.
A fan tossed a Neon green sex toy onto the
putting service, causing a momentary disruption. Before Fleetwood's final putt,
NBC en Course reporter Jim Bones McKay kicked the toy
off the green and into the bunker. A security guard
(11:36):
then removed it and walked off. Despite the momentary interruption,
Fleetwood calmly tapped in his par putt to clinch his
first PGA Tour victory and claim the FedEx Cup title.
So you got dildo's INWNBA. Then they powered themselves to
the NFL. Now the PGA of all places. I'm gonna
(12:01):
tell you something, if you're headed out this weekend to
watch college football, you better bring a helmet.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
The PGA on CBS, brought to you by wealthy families
all across the United States.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
They're saying a poor kids for.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Hello friends, welcome back to the PGAs FedEx cup. Let's
go to the eighteenth hole where Tommy Fleetwood is about
to punt for his first PGA win. Oh my, what
is this? Someone just threw something onto the eighteenth green, Jim,
I couldn't make out what it was. Something bride green.
Let's check the replay. Okay, Tommy is lining up his putt.
(12:42):
There it is. It comes flying in. You're right, it's
bride green. But I'm not sure what that is.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
What do you mean you don't know what it is?
Speaker 2 (12:51):
It's a green rubber peckett.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Our very own course reporter Jim Bones McKay kicks it
away as the American say, sucker block to Jim McKay
is like a newborn lass crying in the night when
his dad wants to get to the devil's business.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Now, maybe we should go to If that green had
been a weave at faster, that rubber tater would have
been golf ball deep in the coo.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
You love to see it. On Harris County's Commissioner's court.
The Democrats Brioni's and Garcia are now siding with our
guy Tom Ramsey to balance the budget and oppose Lina's
latest tax hike. Lina says what Brionis and Garca Garcia
are doing is election time pandering. Oh my goodness, the
(13:46):
Democrats have fallen apart Box twenty six with the story.
Speaker 6 (13:50):
Most of that acrimony is coming from Harris County Judge
Lena Hadalgo, who opposed a long overdue pay raise for
deputies and constables at an annual call of one hundred
million dollars. Hidalgo, who supported a double digit tax hike
last year, claims that without another tax increase, the higher
wages for law enforcement will force the county to reduce
(14:12):
or eliminate other services.
Speaker 8 (14:14):
What I'm seeing is a election time pandering to a
group that's politically powerful and without wanting to go to
the taxpairs and come clean.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
It was a nasty shot fired over and over again
by Hidalgo at Precinct two Commissioner Adrian Garcia and Precinct
four Commissioner Leslie Brionis. Both Democrats are committed to the
county living within its means without a tax hike by
reigning in record discretionary spending. Monday, Precinct three Commissioner Tom
(14:47):
Ramsey announced a balanced budget plan with no new taxes
is ready for adoption, and today Commissioner Brionis once again
voiced her full.
Speaker 10 (14:56):
Support and we are on track to pass a balanced
budget that protects all of our fundamental, non negotiable services
in a way that finds smart savings and does more
with less.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
Now, the size of the so called deficit has been
a moving target, but Brionas and the majority on court
believe it will be knocked out by closing hundreds of
vacant job openings, installing money saving new technology, bringing back
hundreds of jail inmates housed out of state, eliminating experimental
COVID era pilot programs, and budget reductions in each county
(15:34):
Department commissioners are scheduled to take a final vote sometime
next month.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
You gotta love it. The ninth Congressional District apparently needs
their word salad clowns to push impeachment because they don't
know what to do. Reminder, al Green is the congressman
in the ninth case Congressional district. Al Green's ninth Congressional district,
(16:05):
as part of the redistricting that just passed a couple
of days ago, is now about fifty seven percent Republican.
If you're going Trump versus Harris, it is solidly Republican.
It carves in part of Liberty County, which is about
fifteen percent of the district, and those are Republicans. They're
(16:27):
not voting for al Green and he knows it. So
you got the eighteenth congressional district that Sheila Jackson Lee held,
she passed, Yvester Turner held, he passed. Al Green addressed
yesterday whether he will run in that race. We'll play
that coming up. Global warming is back. It was cal
(16:55):
farts before cal farts were causing global warming, which was
burning up the earth and we were all going to die.
So first they were going to take away all your manufacturing.
You couldn't turn on your air conditioning.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
You know, the drill.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
And then they said we're going to switch people over
to vegetarianism. I got it. We'll make cow farts the
reason for global warming, so we have to do away
with the cows. Well, people were wishy wash you over
taken away our manufacturing and our oil and our cars
(17:34):
and heating our homes, but you weren't going to take
away our hamburgers and stakes. So they've had to move
on from that. The unhinged left have now decided global
warming is because of dogs. The National Academy of Science
says the top three individual actions that helped the climate.
(17:58):
You can do your part here, including avoiding plane flights,
choosing not to get a dog, and using renewable electricity.
The Associated Press actually printed the following. Dogs are big
meat eaters, and meat is a significant contributor to climate change.
(18:19):
That is because many of the farm animals which will
become food release methane that's farting, a greenhouse gas that
contributes to climate change. Beef is especially impactful. Impactful is
always a favorite word of THEIRS, in part because around
the world, cattle are often raised on land that was
(18:39):
illegally deforested. Oh my god, you've stolen the land from
the indigenous people. You have felled the trees. You have
placed cows there who are farting, and now your dogs
are moving the cows here and there, and the dogs
are farting, and we're all gonna die. The quote continues.
(19:03):
Since trees absorb carbon dioxide, the most abundant greenhouse gas,
cutting them to then raise cattle is a double whammy. Quote.
People just don't associate pets with carbon emissions. That link
is not clear in people's mind. Jaying Zou, who teaches
(19:24):
psychology and sustainability at the University of British Columbia, said,
not all pets are the same, though these people are serious.
Zou owns a dog and three rabbits. Quote, I will
I can adopt, he is gonna adopt. He's not know
the kenneling body. He's gonna adopt one hundred bunnies that
(19:47):
will not be close to the emissions of a dog.
Because my dog is a carnivore, she said, Oh, Jaying
is a girl. Oh okay, the owner of a meat
eating pet and lower their impact by looking for food
made from sources other than beef. Zou, for example, tries
(20:08):
to minimize her dog's carbon footprint by feeding her less
carbon intensive protein sources, including seafood and turkey. Ramon, do
you know how long we have till it's too late
to stop climate change? Twelve years? And one of the
(20:30):
chances that's about the average lifespan of a dog. Twelve years.
We're all gonna die. We've all been going to die
since the seventies. In twelve years, and you know, what
dogs do to the high blood. See, it's not not
only are they leading to global warming, they caused the
(20:52):
high blood.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
A few weeks ago, Madam Speaker, I spoke to you
and also Chairman McCarty about my extreme fear of dogs.
I just encountered the dog down in the plast. I'm
very upset about this, Madam Speaker. I think it's so
unfair that I have to deal with dogs here in
(21:16):
this plast and I'm very very upset, and I know
that it has affected my blood pressure.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Well I'm no physician or anything, but I say, I
dare say sister girl had to high blood before she
ever saw the dog. But I would get a kick
out of her and her heels running away from the
dog as he yapped at her that I'd pay good
(21:44):
money for. See what the Left does, and this is
what makes it so comical, is they find the initiatives
that they want. They want to shut down American manufacturing,
they want to shut down American energy production, they want
to shut down they want to switch you over to
(22:06):
being a vegetarian. And so they look at those things.
You know, how can we tie those together? How can
we tie those together?
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Well, I guess.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
I guess we can make cows farting the reason it
got hot this summer. That's what we'll do. Cow farts
are the reason we got hot this summer. Well, they've
had to move to dogs now because people are not
giving up their red meat. They're not giving up they're
(22:42):
not giving up their sausage, they're not giving up their chicken.
They're but they're mostly not giving up their beef. I mean,
we like, we like our beef, and we like a
lot of it that wasn't beef, it was pork. But
you remember the Jimmy Dean sausage, NY.
Speaker 7 (22:58):
I don't know where few people come from. I don't
or if you test your products, your quantity of your product,
your product's are very delicious. Love your sausage for thirty
something years, but I can't take and feed a family
of five on a little twelve ounce roll of sausage.
I don't mind paying you more money for you sixteen
ounce roll of sausage, but you don't have it anymore.
(23:18):
You've got a twelve ounce roll, and you've got three
men that weigh over two hundred pounds a piece, a
woman that's a little plump Scotch girl and a daughter
who's thirteen, and you're gonna try to take a twelve
ounce roll of sausage and a couple of dozen eggs
and feed that. It ain't gonna work. And I'm not
gonna purchase your product anymore or ever again. And as
(23:40):
far as you're sixteen ounce in maple and sage, I
don't eat that. I'm not from the North. I'm a
Texas man. Jimmy Dean sausage is for Southern people to
eat with their breakfast, with the fried eggs and their
tea bone steaks. And I can't see go on to
a little twelve ounce package to feed four or five
six people. And I'm not gonna buy two of those
(24:03):
twelve ounce packages just because you want to downsize and
charge the same price. I'd sure like a reply, and
i'd sure like you to go back to your sixteen
ounce package on your regular sausage, cause I'm not gonna
buy it otherwise ever. Rigain, I'll just have my own
toss made like I used to thirty something years ago.
It's not tasty as years is, but it'll work. Thank you.
(24:26):
Eight one seven, goodbye. At little twelve months, I'm aller
sauage supposed to feed your brother and me and you
six hundred pounds of men. At least you get my
point and the two girls and they put it in
a roll of sausage. Somebody needs to kiss some little
consumer geek of lord. Save money, Yeah, saved money. Saved money.
(24:49):
I'm gonna eat.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
The Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
I've not been able to get confirmation yet, although I
have asked some reliable sources to check, I am hearing
unverified reports that a head football coach and athletic director
in one of the Katie High schools. I'm not going
(25:32):
to say which one because it may turn out that
this is not the case. This comes from Listeners was
escorted out of the school by police. My understanding is
that this happened this morning, and the suggestion is the
arrest is for embezzlement, presumably the charge being that this
(25:55):
person was stealing funds from the school. It's that one
of the Katie School Katie system schools. If somebody knows
anything about that, shoot me an email to Michael at
Michael Berryshow dot com. Remember Michael is always a E.
It's never EA. Michael at Michael Berryshow dot com or
(26:19):
you can go to the website Michael Berryshow dot com
and send me an email from there if you are
able to confirm at which point I will, I will
say which which school it is. So Mike writes, I'm
in one of the neighborhoods moved from the John Culberson district. Now,
(26:40):
remember that was Congressional District seven. That district goes all
the way back to George H. W.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Bush.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
That district was then Bill Archer's seat for many years,
and then John Culberson was state rep who ran and
held that seat for a number of years, and then
Lizzie Fletcher defeated Culberson. That district was redistricted to make
(27:13):
it so that a Democrat could win it. That was
a rock rib Republican district. It ran along the corridor
from Tanglewood out to say Royal Oaks or beyond. That
was as old school Republican, not Trump Republican, old country
(27:36):
club Episcopalian Republican, think Bush's. And they made some changes
to that district. They carved that district so it went
all the way over to West University. You know why
you do that, because you don't want to Nobody wants
to upset the racial balance of districts, of black districts,
(28:01):
because that's where your lawsuits would come in under the
Voting Rights Act. So what you need to do is
pick up white Democrats. That's hard to do. So in
order to get white Democrats, you got to go all
the way over to places like West University and Rice
(28:23):
the Museum District because there you can pick up white democrat.
It's hard to do, but that's how they did it.
And so that district was gerrymandered to make it a
district that a white liberal that's Lizzie Fletcher could win.
So he says, I'm in one of the neighborhoods moved
from the John Culberson district to then Lizzie Fletcher district
(28:45):
to Al Green's district during the last realignment. I presume
it was to solidify Fletcher's position. I was thrilled beyond
measure to read this morning that Al Green will not
run for the new district. I will no longer be
represented by one of the stupidest people in Congress. In
any other group, he would be the stupidest, but with
the lineup the Democrats tried out there, he's just one
(29:05):
of them. Not sure where I will fall in the
new map, but at least I don't have to have
my blood boil every time I drive by that sign
on the six' ten feet are showing where Al green's
office is across from a large homeless. Camp, oh happy,
day Says. Mike, well so the challenge here is that
(29:28):
Al green's ninth congressional district that he, won he Beat
Chris bell to get that seat used to Be Mike
andrews years. Back if you Remember Mike, andrews White, democrat
kind of more moderate White. DEMOCRAT i think he lived
Near Rice, university But i'm not. Positive Chris bell had that.
(29:50):
Seat And Chris bell was the toast of the town
For democrats because he filed the, case the ethics complaint
Against Tom delay that Caught Tom delay to be arrested
in all those, hassles if you remember. That So Chris
bell happens to be a, lawyer and he's a White,
democrat and he's trying to weasel his way into a
congressional seat and manages for a minute to be in that.
(30:14):
Seat but then when the redistricting came, about they pushed
a lot of blacks into that, district and they pushed
his White democrats. Out, now a white liberal loves to tell,
You republican, person how racist you are against black. People
you are racist against black. People but you watch and
(30:36):
see when they're in a primary against, blacks how blacks
will do the, same exact same thing to, them and
it is delicious to. Watch so here comes Al. Green
he can't em open his. EYES i don't know if
you've ever. Noticed Al green looks like a man that
just got into a heavyweight fight and lost his, eyes
(31:00):
like he's trying to open, Them like he's like he
just wishes he could. Open or maybe a man that's
been in prison for ten years and walks out in
the midday. Sun he just can't can't get them. Open
they can't. Quiet he's got Those jerry curls from The
billy D williams nineteen seventy six, model got that working
on the, back broken down nice carrying a. Cane probably
(31:23):
has something inside of. It lord knows, what because there
are stories and there's Old Al, Green Poor Al. Green
he was so cuck hoolded By Sheila Jackson leine he
was not allowed to speak in. Public And i'm not
Kidding Sheila Jackson lee had Those democrats in very tight.
Line she was the lead hen and she was the mother.
(31:45):
Duck they were supposed to follow behind, her but do
not veer off the. Line she would do all the.
Talking have you ever noticed she would do the, talking
and their job was to stand there behind.
Speaker 6 (31:55):
Her.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Yep it just kind of standing here While sheila.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Talk.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Yep and that's what she did for years and years and.
Years and in a minute she dies and Al green
starts popping. Off here comes. Out he got something to
say because he's allowed to talk. Now so he's in
the Ninth congressional. District the Ninth congressional district is one
of the districts that's redistricted to go From democrat To,
(32:21):
republican just as The democrats took it From republican To.
Democrat so he knows he cannot win Next. November but
we've got something else at. Play there happens to be
A democrat congressional seat that is Solidly. Democrat it's seventy
five Percent democrat That Sheila Jackson lee held when she jack.
(32:43):
Died they Put Sylvester turner in. There When Sylvester turner,
died that seat becomes, open and so what Is algreen
going to? Do what is Al green going to? Do,
WELL i know for a fact he's calling around to
(33:03):
engage response to him getting out of the Ninth congressional
district and running Next november in the. Eighteenth but the
question is does he now run right now in the
special election that will be held coming? Up Where Christian,
minefie Who's Rodney ellis's And Jolanda jones and there's a
(33:26):
lot in, there big Will George foreman's son is in that.
Race that is a crowded. Race Val green gets in,
it he wins. It but why run in a race
for an unexpired term that you got to run for
again Next. November, well the only reason would be to
keep somebody else from being in that. Seat so his
answer coming up
It's that time, time time, luck and load. So Michael
Berry Show is on the air. Hello again, everybuddy.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
This is mile Old Hamilton Astros Win again and.
Speaker 3 (00:25):
A good morning to the TZAR.

Good morning, Michael there. How you learned that?
Speaker 8 (01:02):
Are ready tomorrow?
Speaker 5 (01:03):
Mon?
Speaker 9 (01:04):
Good morning, Texas. Listen to the song Good morning Texas.
Ore in your car, Good morning, Texas.
Speaker 7 (01:15):
Commonia is on his knee, and we're.
Speaker 9 (01:18):
Happy to be here to talk about everything. Hey, good morning,
we're not wearing pants. Good morning, Texas. Good morning, Texas.
Good moring, Texas, Good morning. Wake up, it's all si.
Speaker 6 (01:43):
Let's speak goddamn.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Good morning.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Let's talk about boring legal stuff. It turns out to
be extraordinarily important. There was a case that Rodney Ellis managed,
at the sorrow's direction, to use to make Harris County
(02:17):
very very dangerous, to tie the hands of judges. And
that case was known as the O'Donnell case. It was
a misdemeanor bail reform.
Speaker 7 (02:30):
Case.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
The case was brought basically that if it were to win,
would destroy our criminal justice system as we know it. Well,
the state typically would respond and defend against this. But
what they did is put down their guns and said, ah, yes, okay,
(02:58):
if that's what you want, we will enter into a
consent decree. We will agree with you. Our system is
very flawed, and gosh, you won, so we'll give you
everything you want. It was a picture of Lena Hidalgo
(03:19):
and Rodney Ellis cheering their hands up in the air
when the decree was signed. Well wait, what, this wasn't
something our side the people brought. This was brought by
people who didn't want the laws enforced against you. Why
(03:40):
would you be so happy to agree with them? Well,
that case has caused a lot of problems. Yesterday, the
Texas Attorney General filed a motion to intervene Attorney General
course being Ken Paxton in the O'Donnell case and a
motion to vacate the O'Donnell consent decree. The consent decree again,
(04:05):
and I know you know this is where both sides agree.
We agree on that there are four Republican misdemeanor judges
who should have been fighting back against the O'Donnell consent decree. Well,
fortunately Attorney General Ken Paxton is fighting for this, and
(04:27):
him running for the Senate is a good thing. Sometimes
when people are running for office, they'll take even bigger
swings for the fences, and that's good for us. The
attorney The motion to intervene reads the Attorney General of
Texas seeks to intervene in the case under Federal Rule
of Civil Procedure twenty four A two intervention as of right,
(04:49):
or alternatively twenty four B one B permissive intervention. The
goal is to defend our states bail procedures and ensure
compliance with state law, particularly in light of recent legislative
changes and in the interim judicial rulings. So the Attorney
(05:13):
General claims what's called a direct substantial legally protectable interest
in the case rooted in texas sovereign interest in enforcing
its own laws, ensuring public safety which we've lost, and
managing its criminal justice system. So then you go to
state laws Senate Bill six in twenty twenty one, Senate
(05:34):
Bill nine that was just passed, which govern bail practices.
So what we've done is ever since the consent decree.
See the Democrats are very good at this, ever since
the dissent consent decree. Then we have to come back
two years later and try to rewrite the laws again.
(05:54):
And there's an alternative basis for intervention called permissive intervention.
But what the Attorney general is requesting is permission to
intervene to defend our interests and ensure the consent decree
aligns with state law. Well we know that it doesn't,
and then you can go through the pleadings from there.
(06:16):
The victim in this case is absolutely positively frightened because
the guy just received a pr bond, which is a
personal reconnaissance bond, and you remember what that means. That
means that that person simply signs and says, yeah, I'll
(06:39):
come back whenever you want me to. That case, I
believe is a Jane Doe case. I don't believe her
name is known, and I don't intend to state her name. Now,
that will be an interesting development because if in fact
we can get Donald thrown out, it will remove the
(07:05):
argument by Harris County's Democrat judges that they've made in
bad faith that they have to let these bad guys
go when they bring them in. Coop brings a guy in.
He's got blood all over him. We know that the
victim has been stabbed fifteen times. This guy's got blood
all over him. Maybe still has a knife in his
back pocket. We'll need to remove that before we go
into the courtroom. He's got blood all over and saying, yeah,
(07:27):
I did it. Now I want to go home, and
these judges are sending them out on their way. Well,
we know that people who commit crimes commit more crimes,
and we know that of the people who commit crimes,
they've committed crimes in the past. So there's the ninety
nine percent of us that are out here trying to
live our lives, just hoping that they don't get to
(07:49):
us because they're going to steal somebody's car, put a
gun in somebody's face, rape somebody, traffic in children. They're
going to do a burgla home, They're going to do
that to somebody and We're just out here because we
don't have a system that's defending us, hoping that they
don't find us. That's no way to live. We've gonna
(08:13):
ad a little bit about these warhouses I know all about.
Ramon wants to know what around the world is.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Whistling bungholes, spleen splitters, whisker biscuits, honkey riders, hooskerdoes hohosker
don'ts nips and dazers, whether without the scooter stick or
one single whistling kiddy Jason Michael.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
It was thirty five years ago today, Texas blues man
Stevie Rayvoughon died in a helicopter crash on the way
to Chicago from a concert in Alpine Valley, East Troy, Wisconsin.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
He was born in.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
The Oak Cliff section of Dallas on October third, nineteen
fifty four. Became enthralled with music, watching and learning from
his older brother Jimmy, who would be the driving force
behind the Fabulous Thunderbirds many years later, he would teach
himself to play the guitar before he was even a teen.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
He would end up with.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
A band called Double Trouble, which was a regional sensation
and then in the eighties he would win four Grammys,
clean up his life, and shortly thereafter, at the height
of his career the helicopter crash. Fifteen hundred people would
attend his memorial service in Dallas thirty five years ago today,
(09:37):
Stevie Rayvohon passed One of the greatest monuments to him
in I've ever seen constructed is at Zilker Park in Austin,
right next to the water. And he was not a
very tall fella. I don't know what he was, five seven,
maybe five eight, maybe probably five to seven. But the
(10:01):
way the monument of what would that be ramon not brass?
What do they call that copper? It would be copper. No,
if it was, it melted down, I can't remember what.
But anyway, it shows Stevie Rayvaughan. But behind him is
(10:23):
a shadow, a shadow that grows wider with the distance
behind it. For artistic merit alone, whatever you thought of
Stevie rayvaugh it's pretty darn cool. The fact that it
represents the influence he had on so many other musicians
that they've professed I thought was incredibly well done. Well,
(10:47):
you know about the green dildos on the court at
the n w NBA game the women's basketball fights. Now
we've had green dildos tossed on the greens during the
PGA FedEx Cup. Green dildo was tossed on the field
during the Vikings versus Titans game in Nashville.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
There was.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Fleetwood and his partner Patrick Kentley on the eighteenth green.
A fan tossed a Neon green sex toy onto the
putting service, causing a momentary disruption. Before Fleetwood's final putt,
NBC en Course reporter Jim Bones McKay kicked the toy
off the green and into the bunker. A security guard
(11:36):
then removed it and walked off. Despite the momentary interruption,
Fleetwood calmly tapped in his par putt to clinch his
first PGA Tour victory and claim the FedEx Cup title.
So you got dildo's INWNBA. Then they powered themselves to
the NFL. Now the PGA of all places. I'm gonna
(12:01):
tell you something, if you're headed out this weekend to
watch college football, you better bring a helmet.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
The PGA on CBS, brought to you by wealthy families
all across the United States.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
They're saying a poor kids for.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
Hello friends, welcome back to the PGAs FedEx cup. Let's
go to the eighteenth hole where Tommy Fleetwood is about
to punt for his first PGA win. Oh my, what
is this? Someone just threw something onto the eighteenth green, Jim,
I couldn't make out what it was. Something bride green.
Let's check the replay. Okay, Tommy is lining up his putt.
(12:42):
There it is. It comes flying in. You're right, it's
bride green. But I'm not sure what that is.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
What do you mean you don't know what it is?
Speaker 2 (12:51):
It's a green rubber peckett.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Our very own course reporter Jim Bones McKay kicks it
away as the American say, sucker block to Jim McKay
is like a newborn lass crying in the night when
his dad wants to get to the devil's business.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Now, maybe we should go to If that green had
been a weave at faster, that rubber tater would have
been golf ball deep in the coo.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
You love to see it. On Harris County's Commissioner's court.
The Democrats Brioni's and Garcia are now siding with our
guy Tom Ramsey to balance the budget and oppose Lina's
latest tax hike. Lina says what Brionis and Garca Garcia
are doing is election time pandering. Oh my goodness, the
(13:46):
Democrats have fallen apart Box twenty six with the story.
Speaker 6 (13:50):
Most of that acrimony is coming from Harris County Judge
Lena Hadalgo, who opposed a long overdue pay raise for
deputies and constables at an annual call of one hundred
million dollars. Hidalgo, who supported a double digit tax hike
last year, claims that without another tax increase, the higher
wages for law enforcement will force the county to reduce
(14:12):
or eliminate other services.
Speaker 8 (14:14):
What I'm seeing is a election time pandering to a
group that's politically powerful and without wanting to go to
the taxpairs and come clean.
Speaker 6 (14:27):
It was a nasty shot fired over and over again
by Hidalgo at Precinct two Commissioner Adrian Garcia and Precinct
four Commissioner Leslie Brionis. Both Democrats are committed to the
county living within its means without a tax hike by
reigning in record discretionary spending. Monday, Precinct three Commissioner Tom
(14:47):
Ramsey announced a balanced budget plan with no new taxes
is ready for adoption, and today Commissioner Brionis once again
voiced her full.
Speaker 10 (14:56):
Support and we are on track to pass a balanced
budget that protects all of our fundamental, non negotiable services
in a way that finds smart savings and does more
with less.
Speaker 6 (15:12):
Now, the size of the so called deficit has been
a moving target, but Brionas and the majority on court
believe it will be knocked out by closing hundreds of
vacant job openings, installing money saving new technology, bringing back
hundreds of jail inmates housed out of state, eliminating experimental
COVID era pilot programs, and budget reductions in each county
(15:34):
Department commissioners are scheduled to take a final vote sometime
next month.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
You gotta love it. The ninth Congressional District apparently needs
their word salad clowns to push impeachment because they don't
know what to do. Reminder, al Green is the congressman
in the ninth case Congressional district. Al Green's ninth Congressional district,
(16:05):
as part of the redistricting that just passed a couple
of days ago, is now about fifty seven percent Republican.
If you're going Trump versus Harris, it is solidly Republican.
It carves in part of Liberty County, which is about
fifteen percent of the district, and those are Republicans. They're
(16:27):
not voting for al Green and he knows it. So
you got the eighteenth congressional district that Sheila Jackson Lee held,
she passed, Yvester Turner held, he passed. Al Green addressed
yesterday whether he will run in that race. We'll play
that coming up. Global warming is back. It was cal
(16:55):
farts before cal farts were causing global warming, which was
burning up the earth and we were all going to die.
So first they were going to take away all your manufacturing.
You couldn't turn on your air conditioning.
Speaker 2 (17:10):
You know, the drill.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
And then they said we're going to switch people over
to vegetarianism. I got it. We'll make cow farts the
reason for global warming, so we have to do away
with the cows. Well, people were wishy wash you over
taken away our manufacturing and our oil and our cars
(17:34):
and heating our homes, but you weren't going to take
away our hamburgers and stakes. So they've had to move
on from that. The unhinged left have now decided global
warming is because of dogs. The National Academy of Science
says the top three individual actions that helped the climate.
(17:58):
You can do your part here, including avoiding plane flights,
choosing not to get a dog, and using renewable electricity.
The Associated Press actually printed the following. Dogs are big
meat eaters, and meat is a significant contributor to climate change.
(18:19):
That is because many of the farm animals which will
become food release methane that's farting, a greenhouse gas that
contributes to climate change. Beef is especially impactful. Impactful is
always a favorite word of THEIRS, in part because around
the world, cattle are often raised on land that was
(18:39):
illegally deforested. Oh my god, you've stolen the land from
the indigenous people. You have felled the trees. You have
placed cows there who are farting, and now your dogs
are moving the cows here and there, and the dogs
are farting, and we're all gonna die. The quote continues.
(19:03):
Since trees absorb carbon dioxide, the most abundant greenhouse gas,
cutting them to then raise cattle is a double whammy. Quote.
People just don't associate pets with carbon emissions. That link
is not clear in people's mind. Jaying Zou, who teaches
(19:24):
psychology and sustainability at the University of British Columbia, said,
not all pets are the same, though these people are serious.
Zou owns a dog and three rabbits. Quote, I will
I can adopt, he is gonna adopt. He's not know
the kenneling body. He's gonna adopt one hundred bunnies that
(19:47):
will not be close to the emissions of a dog.
Because my dog is a carnivore, she said, Oh, Jaying
is a girl. Oh okay, the owner of a meat
eating pet and lower their impact by looking for food
made from sources other than beef. Zou, for example, tries
(20:08):
to minimize her dog's carbon footprint by feeding her less
carbon intensive protein sources, including seafood and turkey. Ramon, do
you know how long we have till it's too late
to stop climate change? Twelve years? And one of the
(20:30):
chances that's about the average lifespan of a dog. Twelve years.
We're all gonna die. We've all been going to die
since the seventies. In twelve years, and you know, what
dogs do to the high blood. See, it's not not
only are they leading to global warming, they caused the
(20:52):
high blood.
Speaker 5 (20:54):
A few weeks ago, Madam Speaker, I spoke to you
and also Chairman McCarty about my extreme fear of dogs.
I just encountered the dog down in the plast. I'm
very upset about this, Madam Speaker. I think it's so
unfair that I have to deal with dogs here in
(21:16):
this plast and I'm very very upset, and I know
that it has affected my blood pressure.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
Well I'm no physician or anything, but I say, I
dare say sister girl had to high blood before she
ever saw the dog. But I would get a kick
out of her and her heels running away from the
dog as he yapped at her that I'd pay good
(21:44):
money for. See what the Left does, and this is
what makes it so comical, is they find the initiatives
that they want. They want to shut down American manufacturing,
they want to shut down American energy production, they want
to shut down they want to switch you over to
(22:06):
being a vegetarian. And so they look at those things.
You know, how can we tie those together? How can
we tie those together?
Speaker 2 (22:16):
Well, I guess.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
I guess we can make cows farting the reason it
got hot this summer. That's what we'll do. Cow farts
are the reason we got hot this summer. Well, they've
had to move to dogs now because people are not
giving up their red meat. They're not giving up they're
(22:42):
not giving up their sausage, they're not giving up their chicken.
They're but they're mostly not giving up their beef. I mean,
we like, we like our beef, and we like a
lot of it that wasn't beef, it was pork. But
you remember the Jimmy Dean sausage, NY.
Speaker 7 (22:58):
I don't know where few people come from. I don't
or if you test your products, your quantity of your product,
your product's are very delicious. Love your sausage for thirty
something years, but I can't take and feed a family
of five on a little twelve ounce roll of sausage.
I don't mind paying you more money for you sixteen
ounce roll of sausage, but you don't have it anymore.
(23:18):
You've got a twelve ounce roll, and you've got three
men that weigh over two hundred pounds a piece, a
woman that's a little plump Scotch girl and a daughter
who's thirteen, and you're gonna try to take a twelve
ounce roll of sausage and a couple of dozen eggs
and feed that. It ain't gonna work. And I'm not
gonna purchase your product anymore or ever again. And as
(23:40):
far as you're sixteen ounce in maple and sage, I
don't eat that. I'm not from the North. I'm a
Texas man. Jimmy Dean sausage is for Southern people to
eat with their breakfast, with the fried eggs and their
tea bone steaks. And I can't see go on to
a little twelve ounce package to feed four or five
six people. And I'm not gonna buy two of those
(24:03):
twelve ounce packages just because you want to downsize and
charge the same price. I'd sure like a reply, and
i'd sure like you to go back to your sixteen
ounce package on your regular sausage, cause I'm not gonna
buy it otherwise ever. Rigain, I'll just have my own
toss made like I used to thirty something years ago.
It's not tasty as years is, but it'll work. Thank you.
(24:26):
Eight one seven, goodbye. At little twelve months, I'm aller
sauage supposed to feed your brother and me and you
six hundred pounds of men. At least you get my
point and the two girls and they put it in
a roll of sausage. Somebody needs to kiss some little
consumer geek of lord. Save money, Yeah, saved money. Saved money.
(24:49):
I'm gonna eat.
Speaker 4 (25:01):
The Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 1 (25:08):
I've not been able to get confirmation yet, although I
have asked some reliable sources to check, I am hearing
unverified reports that a head football coach and athletic director
in one of the Katie High schools. I'm not going
(25:32):
to say which one because it may turn out that
this is not the case. This comes from Listeners was
escorted out of the school by police. My understanding is
that this happened this morning, and the suggestion is the
arrest is for embezzlement, presumably the charge being that this
(25:55):
person was stealing funds from the school. It's that one
of the Katie School Katie system schools. If somebody knows
anything about that, shoot me an email to Michael at
Michael Berryshow dot com. Remember Michael is always a E.
It's never EA. Michael at Michael Berryshow dot com or
(26:19):
you can go to the website Michael Berryshow dot com
and send me an email from there if you are
able to confirm at which point I will, I will
say which which school it is. So Mike writes, I'm
in one of the neighborhoods moved from the John Culberson district. Now,
(26:40):
remember that was Congressional District seven. That district goes all
the way back to George H. W.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Bush.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
That district was then Bill Archer's seat for many years,
and then John Culberson was state rep who ran and
held that seat for a number of years, and then
Lizzie Fletcher defeated Culberson. That district was redistricted to make
(27:13):
it so that a Democrat could win it. That was
a rock rib Republican district. It ran along the corridor
from Tanglewood out to say Royal Oaks or beyond. That
was as old school Republican, not Trump Republican, old country
(27:36):
club Episcopalian Republican, think Bush's. And they made some changes
to that district. They carved that district so it went
all the way over to West University. You know why
you do that, because you don't want to Nobody wants
to upset the racial balance of districts, of black districts,
(28:01):
because that's where your lawsuits would come in under the
Voting Rights Act. So what you need to do is
pick up white Democrats. That's hard to do. So in
order to get white Democrats, you got to go all
the way over to places like West University and Rice
(28:23):
the Museum District because there you can pick up white democrat.
It's hard to do, but that's how they did it.
And so that district was gerrymandered to make it a
district that a white liberal that's Lizzie Fletcher could win.
So he says, I'm in one of the neighborhoods moved
from the John Culberson district to then Lizzie Fletcher district
(28:45):
to Al Green's district during the last realignment. I presume
it was to solidify Fletcher's position. I was thrilled beyond
measure to read this morning that Al Green will not
run for the new district. I will no longer be
represented by one of the stupidest people in Congress. In
any other group, he would be the stupidest, but with
the lineup the Democrats tried out there, he's just one
(29:05):
of them. Not sure where I will fall in the
new map, but at least I don't have to have
my blood boil every time I drive by that sign
on the six' ten feet are showing where Al green's
office is across from a large homeless. Camp, oh happy,
day Says. Mike, well so the challenge here is that
(29:28):
Al green's ninth congressional district that he, won he Beat
Chris bell to get that seat used to Be Mike
andrews years. Back if you Remember Mike, andrews White, democrat
kind of more moderate White. DEMOCRAT i think he lived
Near Rice, university But i'm not. Positive Chris bell had that.
(29:50):
Seat And Chris bell was the toast of the town
For democrats because he filed the, case the ethics complaint
Against Tom delay that Caught Tom delay to be arrested
in all those, hassles if you remember. That So Chris
bell happens to be a, lawyer and he's a White,
democrat and he's trying to weasel his way into a
congressional seat and manages for a minute to be in that.
(30:14):
Seat but then when the redistricting came, about they pushed
a lot of blacks into that, district and they pushed
his White democrats. Out, now a white liberal loves to tell,
You republican, person how racist you are against black. People
you are racist against black. People but you watch and
(30:36):
see when they're in a primary against, blacks how blacks
will do the, same exact same thing to, them and
it is delicious to. Watch so here comes Al. Green
he can't em open his. EYES i don't know if
you've ever. Noticed Al green looks like a man that
just got into a heavyweight fight and lost his, eyes
(31:00):
like he's trying to open, Them like he's like he
just wishes he could. Open or maybe a man that's
been in prison for ten years and walks out in
the midday. Sun he just can't can't get them. Open
they can't. Quiet he's got Those jerry curls from The
billy D williams nineteen seventy six, model got that working
on the, back broken down nice carrying a. Cane probably
(31:23):
has something inside of. It lord knows, what because there
are stories and there's Old Al, Green Poor Al. Green
he was so cuck hoolded By Sheila Jackson leine he
was not allowed to speak in. Public And i'm not
Kidding Sheila Jackson lee had Those democrats in very tight.
Line she was the lead hen and she was the mother.
(31:45):
Duck they were supposed to follow behind, her but do
not veer off the. Line she would do all the.
Talking have you ever noticed she would do the, talking
and their job was to stand there behind.
Speaker 6 (31:55):
Her.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
Yep it just kind of standing here While sheila.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Talk.
Speaker 1 (32:00):
Yep and that's what she did for years and years and.
Years and in a minute she dies and Al green
starts popping. Off here comes. Out he got something to
say because he's allowed to talk. Now so he's in
the Ninth congressional. District the Ninth congressional district is one
of the districts that's redistricted to go From democrat To,
(32:21):
republican just as The democrats took it From republican To.
Democrat so he knows he cannot win Next. November but
we've got something else at. Play there happens to be
A democrat congressional seat that is Solidly. Democrat it's seventy
five Percent democrat That Sheila Jackson lee held when she jack.
(32:43):
Died they Put Sylvester turner in. There When Sylvester turner,
died that seat becomes, open and so what Is algreen
going to? Do what is Al green going to? Do,
WELL i know for a fact he's calling around to
(33:03):
engage response to him getting out of the Ninth congressional
district and running Next november in the. Eighteenth but the
question is does he now run right now in the
special election that will be held coming? Up Where Christian,
minefie Who's Rodney ellis's And Jolanda jones and there's a
(33:26):
lot in, there big Will George foreman's son is in that.
Race that is a crowded. Race Val green gets in,
it he wins. It but why run in a race
for an unexpired term that you got to run for
again Next. November, well the only reason would be to
keep somebody else from being in that. Seat so his
answer coming up
