Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Time, time, time.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
Luck and load. The Michael Varry Show is on the air.
You're gonna make a lot of money, right yeah right,
that's not yours? Well it becomes ours. How is that
not stealing? I don't think I don't think that. I'm
explaining this very well. It's seven to eleven, right, you
(00:30):
take a penny from the tray from the crippled children.
Speaker 3 (00:34):
No, that's the job. I'm talking about the tray, the
you know, the pennies for everybody, Oh, for everybody? Okay, yeah,
well those are whole pennies, all right, all right, I'm
just talking about fractions of a penny here, okay. But
we do it from a much bigger tray, and we
do it a couple of million times, so what's wrong
with that?
Speaker 4 (00:50):
In a post on x, Doge said the Department of
Health and Human Services had terminated a contract paying Family
Endeavors eighteen million dollars a month to operate an empty
facility in West Texas. DOJ also claims Endeavors received its
HHS contract in twenty twenty one after a former ICE
(01:10):
employee and Biden transition team member joined the nonprofit. Endeavor's
government disclosure forms show its revenues shot up in twenty
twenty one from fifty million to six hundred and fifty
eight million.
Speaker 5 (01:23):
And when you see people there in Tennessee paying fifty
percent of their their income to state, federal, and local
taxes through other ends, you know, through everything else, fees
and everything else, and then they see us sending literally
billions overseas our enemies. You know, I've uncovered forty million
dollars going.
Speaker 6 (01:41):
To the Taliban.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
A guy named Sean Ryan over Middle.
Speaker 5 (01:45):
Tennessee, former Navy seal podcaster, and another guy named Legend
had brought this to my attention. And you know, last term,
I could not even get the Democrats to bring it
up in the Senate, a passing animus in the House,
not even a question because they're going to have to.
And they made a mistake, and they continuously made a mistake,
and they did it on purpose, is the worst part
(02:05):
about it. And this graft that you're seeing, and that's
one hundred percent what it is. I think you're going
to see a piper trail come back to Washington, DC.
And that's why I think a lot of people are nervous,
and you'll see a lot of retirements because they are
stealing from the American tax payer and now they got
their handcott in the cookie jar and all they can
do is attack Elonnis.
Speaker 7 (02:23):
The Popo and France have arrested two in connection with
the jewel heist at the Louver Museum. How audacious was this?
There's going to be a Netflix special. I feel certain
the nationwide manhunt continues for the other two perpetrators. Investigators
said they matched trace DNA evidence recovered from a helmet
(02:45):
left at the scene of the crime. But to one
of the suspects, you idiot, you went to all that
trouble and you leave a helmet with DNA evidence on it,
My good missile. The story from ABC News.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
Tonight a major breakthrough in.
Speaker 8 (03:06):
That daylight heist of some of France's priceless Crown jewels
at the Louver, their escape captured by museum security and
being reviewed by authorities. A week on from that seven
minute audacious robbery, the first arrest French police swooping in
at Paris's Charldugall Airport Saturday night, detaining a French Algerian
suspect who they say was about to border flight to Algeria.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Nearby, in a northern suburb of.
Speaker 8 (03:31):
Paris, officers arresting another Frenchman who they say was planning
to fly to Marley, West Africa. Tonight, ABC News confirming
key details about how the arrest came about. Two sources
revealing DNA from a motorbike helmet left at the scene
was matched to one of the suspects. The men, who
were known to police and had allegedly been linked to
other robberies, were then put under phone and physical surveillance.
(03:54):
When the police say suspects try to leave France, officers pounced.
Two French officials confirm, I mean the two men arrested
are suspected of carrying out the robbery, which was caught
on CCTV. In that video, four masked men wearing high
ves jackets can be seen the gang using that ladder,
cutting through the window and then smashing and grabbing nine items,
(04:15):
including duel encrusted crowns, necklaces and earrings which belonged to
French Queen's Police still investigating whether the gang had an
insider at the louver as an accomplice. News of this
weekend's arrests initially leaking in the French media prosecutors, expressing
deep regret, saying the leak will only harm their investigation.
(04:35):
France's Interior Minister praising police, but underlining this investigation is
by no means over.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Menzing Tonight, the two men are being held by police
and questioned. At least two more suspects remain at large,
and that stolen jurry of immense cultural and historic value
has still not yet been recovered.
Speaker 7 (04:53):
France has a problem with Muslim immigrants and violence and
rapes in nineteen's, just as England does, just as Germany does, Sweden, Copenhagen, Norway.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Sort of like the problem we have.
Speaker 7 (05:10):
And so you have these multinational global organizations of really
rich white people who gather at Davos and places like
this in Bill Gates and Klaus von Bulau, No, Klaus
Schwab and their ilk and they could all be played
(05:32):
by Peter Sellers, because there they are with their Swiss, German, French,
Belgian Prissy ways, talking about opening their countries without borders,
talking about universal healthcare, high taxes, subsidies, and a miserable
(05:57):
life for people who are not as rich as they are,
and this just.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Happening all over the world.
Speaker 7 (06:06):
Here's an example from Fox thirty five Orlando an illegal
alien crime ring in the United States. Same deal, right,
people coming into your country, robbing you, blind, stealing you, blind,
awful people, terrible people.
Speaker 9 (06:20):
They are dressed like landscapers, but Orange County deputies say
they are.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Criminals in disguise. Deputy say.
Speaker 9 (06:25):
This drone video shows the crooks casing a home in
Orlando before breaking into steel, designer shoes and handbags, each
worth thousands. These pictures showed two suspects walking away a
half hour later with bags full of Lee Trend's valuables.
Speaker 6 (06:39):
The full time. When I come to my now, when
I saw the window striped and my door orwen and
I feel like my hot jump.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Outside, deputy say.
Speaker 9 (06:48):
The undocumented group of Colombian criminals specifically targeted the homes
of Asian business owners. This report claims their crime spree
spans Hillsboro, Ociola, and Orange Counties. Deputies followed them Monday
as the gang met up in Kissimi and then drove
separate cars to Orlando's heavily Asian Mills fifty neighborhood.
Speaker 6 (07:03):
I don't know how they follow me. I can't even
eat and sleep even now, I'm still nervous.
Speaker 9 (07:10):
Investigators say the gang was sophisticated. They'd surveil a home
for weeks before they'd hit. Deputy say they even use
this hidden trail camera to learn their target's way of life.
But it seems they didn't realize they were the ones
being watched.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
This week.
Speaker 9 (07:21):
Deputy say, they're on video crawling out of the home
and hopping in a getaway cars.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
They thought they had gotten away with it.
Speaker 9 (07:27):
And returned to their meet up point before deputies pounced.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
Now all five.
Speaker 9 (07:30):
Suspects are jailed in Osciola County with ice detainers, and
Lee Trinn has her valuables back.
Speaker 6 (07:35):
There's some stuck I've all I like more than twenty
years ago.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
That's my seven years big jump.
Speaker 10 (07:42):
Here's either up and over that four foot did the
Michael Very show, the Evil and Evil stunt cycle rum ideals?
Speaker 1 (07:50):
There are other good songs.
Speaker 7 (07:51):
I'm not saying there or not, but this is as
fine a song as has ever been recorded. It is
so good, so timeless, so beautiful, so perfect on every level.
It's stripped down, it's simple, it's perfect. Nineteen sixty for
(08:16):
at CO Records, written by Jerry Lieber and who else
Phil Spector. It was Bennie King's first hit away from
the band The Drifters.
Speaker 1 (08:30):
It would make it all the way to ten on
the charts.
Speaker 7 (08:33):
It would be named three hundred and fifty eight on
Rolling Stones list of the five hundred Greatest Songs of
all time. No, no, no, no no, that's that stand by me.
It would rank higher. The other song that Bennie King
recorded that year is the one we don't talk enough about.
(08:54):
And we'll just give you a taste of it because
it's we're not a music show and another programmers getting
crazy when we do. But Spanish Harlem you probably know it.
Aretha would later cover that. Minnie King first recorded it.
Spanish Harlem is a is a glorious song, absolutely fantastic song.
We'll just give you just a little taste.
Speaker 11 (09:24):
There is a old and Spanish ham. Oh its Spanish ham.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
It is loss someone. It's not a single song. It
only comes up for you young folks. I'll tell you
our older listeners. Or for you young folks.
Speaker 7 (09:52):
Your grandparents used to listen to music on the am radio.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Yeah, how old is am radio? Well?
Speaker 7 (10:06):
Then there was FM radio frequency modulation and FM radio
was the new sound, and man it was tight, it
was crisp, it was clear. And you're thinking, no, what
about digital? Oh no, no, no, we didn't have digital.
(10:27):
FM was a huge improvement over AM.
Speaker 1 (10:32):
This was long.
Speaker 7 (10:33):
Before the iPod where you could carry a little music
with you. This was long before Napster and digital downloads
and crystal clear music. And along the way the AM
dial was dying. It wouldn't be around much longer. Small
(10:55):
stations would give back their license. It's called a stick
you're transmitter. They would give back their license. And then
and then August first, nineteen eighty eight happened. That's the
day it all changed. With fifty six stations. Rush Limbaugh
(11:17):
would go into national syndication, saving the AM dow. And
when I tell you saving the AM down, people that
know radio will tell you there would not be an
AM down today. But for that, there was some home improvement,
There was some consumer affairs, there was there was some
(11:43):
gardening shows.
Speaker 1 (11:47):
And that was it.
Speaker 7 (11:49):
That was weekday programming, and they had the vision in
the middle of the day to put rush Limbaugh on.
You know today, we just assumed, of course I was
going to succeed. They didn't know that then. I don't
think they could have ever imagined how much it would succeed,
and more importantly, how much it would launch.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
An entire genre.
Speaker 7 (12:16):
It is the profit center of radio today. We're on
the big stations through iHeart around the country, but we
doted the landscape in a lot of little towns where
you know, it's a husband wife team own a tex
mex restaurant in New Mexico and they have.
Speaker 1 (12:38):
A little station.
Speaker 7 (12:40):
When I say they have a little station, I mean
they have offices for the restaurant and they run the
station out of there. There are people talking about small
town politics, the farmer's market.
Speaker 5 (12:55):
You know.
Speaker 7 (12:55):
I grew up listening to a station called KOGT out
of Orange, Texas, and the morning DJ was called BBRC
Big Boy Richard Corter. He had two sons, Craig and Bart.
They went to high school with me. They were bigger
than me, both all state offensive linemen, big boys. And
every morning he would read the school menu for the
(13:19):
schools in the area, and that's how you'd know on
the way, that's cool what you were going to have
that day. It was the coolest thing ever. It created
a sense of community. That's what local radio does. I
get so aggravated people will watch National Fox News. They
(13:42):
get through with their their work, they come home, plunk
in front of the TV. Understandable, they're tired, and they'll
watch Fox News and Fox News tells them what to
get angry about. They weren't angry yet, but they come
and they sit down. They go, what like the gods,
you know, the Aztec gods, and they come before them
(14:04):
and they tell them what to sacrifice. They come before
the television. They say, what am I mad about today?
Because they don't know, and Fox says, here's what you're
mad about.
Speaker 1 (14:14):
And it's always d C.
Speaker 7 (14:16):
Because they can't get down to Beaumont or Birmingham or
Pensacola or Niskayuna. They got to have one broadcast that
the whole nation can watch and everybody can get pissed
off together. Well, that means the halls of Congress, which
makes Congress way too powerful, way too prominent.
Speaker 1 (14:38):
But here we are.
Speaker 7 (14:40):
But what bothers me about all that is it as
people are doing that, they're not investing in their own communities,
where their kids go to school, where their city council
is making the rules, where their roads are being built,
where their church is operating because they're so.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Hung up on what Fox News is talking about in Washington,
d C.
Speaker 7 (15:02):
That they're forgetting the little town they live in. That's
not let that happen. Scott Weiland of stp Stone Temple
(15:23):
Pilots born through He's got Richard Klein in San Jose,
California parents died.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
His parents did.
Speaker 7 (15:32):
His parents divorced when he was two years old, and
he became Scott Wiland after his mother married Dave Wiland.
He was born on this day in nineteen sixty seven,
almost would have been almost sixty years old. When I
first read that he was born Scott Richard Klein and
(15:55):
thought to myself, if you're going to change your name
for a stage name, do better than Scott Wiland. Right,
how about Johnny Domino or Bobby rock Star, or you know,
Frankie Infuego, Freddie Fender, Chubby Checkers. That's Domino, Scott Wiland.
(16:24):
That's not even interesting. And then I realized, well further
reading that his mother remarried and he took that name
it too, and all is well in the world. He
was born on this day in nineteen sixty seven, and
on this day in twenty nineteen Abu Bakar al Bagdati
(16:44):
died at the hand of Donald Trump. This was President
Trump announcing the killing of that monster.
Speaker 12 (16:55):
Last night, the United States brought the world's number one
to leader to justice. Abu Bakar Albagdati is dead. He
was the founder and leader of ISIS, the most ruthless
and violent terror organization anywhere in the world. The United
(17:16):
States has been searching for Begdaddy for many years. Capturing
or killing Bagdaddy has been the top national security priority
of my administration. US Special Operations Forces executed a dangerous
and daring nighttime rate in northwestern Syria and accomplished their
(17:41):
mission and grand style. The US personnel were incredible.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
I got to watch much of it.
Speaker 13 (17:52):
No personnel were lost in the operation, while a large
number Ofdaddy's fighters and companions were killed with him.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
He died after.
Speaker 12 (18:05):
Running into a dead end tunnel, whimpering and crying and
screaming all the way. The compound had been cleared by
this time, with people either surrendering or being shot and killed.
Eleven young children were moved out of the house and
are uninjured.
Speaker 1 (18:26):
The only ones remaining.
Speaker 12 (18:29):
Were Bagdaddy in the tunnel and he had dragged three
of his young children with him.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
They were led to certain death. He reached the end
of the tunnel.
Speaker 12 (18:44):
As our dogs chased him down, he ignited his vest,
killing himself and the three children. His body was mutilated
by the blast. The tunnel had caved in it In addition,
but test results gave certain immediate and totally positive identification.
(19:09):
It was him, the thug who tried so hard to
intimidate others, spent his last moments in utter fear, in
total panic and dread, terrified of the American forces bearing
down on him. We were in the compound for approximately
(19:31):
two hours, and after the mission was accomplished, we took
highly sensitive material and information from the raid, much having
to do with ISIS origins, future plans, things.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
That we very much want.
Speaker 12 (19:49):
Bagdaddy's demise demonstrates America's relentless pursuit of terrorist leaders and
our commitment to the enduring and total defeat of ISIS
and other terrorist organizations.
Speaker 7 (20:09):
The Trump foreign policy has met for me personally, my
requirements almost to a t. Do you notice that Ukraine
is not in the news any longer? Do you find
that odd?
Speaker 1 (20:25):
Remember when.
Speaker 7 (20:28):
Remember when some of your colleagues were putting the Ukrainian
flag as their profile picture on social media.
Speaker 1 (20:36):
I found that very odd.
Speaker 7 (20:40):
One day they don't know where Ukraine is or anything
about it. In the next day they're staking their entire
identity on Ukraine.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Man, Okay, Ukraine. Russians. Okay, well, what's going on? Just
so I know, Lindsey Graham. The Russians, man, the Russians are.
Speaker 7 (21:04):
Okay, calm down. This isn't Red Dawn. We're not on
the other side of the fence screaming to Wolverine. What
are you so worked up about? We've got to send
him money? Why why? I don't want to send anybody
any money again. Ever, you don't even know where all
we're sending money. We're sending money to Africa to study
(21:28):
men's testicles. We're sending money to Pakistan to teach women
how to men to become women. We're protecting species of
warts and frogs and boogers that I didn't know existed.
Your money is being burned, and there are all these
(21:50):
people at the trough, just the file people getting paid.
They don't care about any They're agnostic as to wherever
this money is going. They don't care they're just getting
some of the vig on the action. It's disgusting. It's
your money, and I'm tired of being told that I
(22:14):
should care. I'm tired of being told that all the
problems of the world are mine. I didn't vote for
that and I don't want it. And I'm tired of
the ilhan Omars representing Somalia and saying so in so
many words. And Zoron Mumdani a Ugandan citizen, by the way,
(22:38):
I'm tired of these people coming to this country instead
of staying where they were and solving the problems there
when they hate this country. I'm tired of being lectured
on what's wrong with this country. You are from a
country that is broken, corrupt, filthy, disease ridden. No opportunity exists,
(23:01):
which is why you fled. Oh but you identify with
the skin color and the language and you felt left
out when you got here. Why because you don't go
to church, because you don't celebrate Christmas.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
That's not our fault, that's yours.
Speaker 7 (23:16):
If that was going to be your driving impetus, stay
where you were and be hungry on id and don't
celebrate Christmas. We've been nice for too long. We've been
taking advantage of for too long, and a lot of
people in the name of helping.
Speaker 1 (23:38):
Other countries are stealing our money and it needs to stop.
Speaker 7 (23:42):
Me now, make belly say along with me.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
If you were watching television in the nineteen eighties, you
were encouraged.
Speaker 7 (23:57):
In nineteen ninety nine Lloyd Kramer collection, they had cod
it was the blue background, yellow lighting.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Operators were standing by.
Speaker 7 (24:10):
Floyd Kramer taught himself to play piano, finished high school,
went to Shreveport, worked as a pianist for the radio
show Louisiana Hayride, where he would meet Elvis Presley, who
would perform.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
In nineteen fifty.
Speaker 7 (24:27):
Five, Elvis would form his own band and it would
include DJ Fontana, Bill Black, Scottie Moore, Jimmy Day, and
Lloyd Kramer. When Elvis asked him to relocate to Hollywood,
Kramer and Day made very bad decisions and they didn't
(24:48):
choose to join him, preferring instead to remain in Nashville.
Speaker 1 (24:52):
If only they could have known how popular he would be.
Speaker 7 (24:57):
Lloyd Kramer would have a career accompanying country music artists,
which was a relatively new thing at the time. It
was getting really busy. In his own words, he said
he was in.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Day and night.
Speaker 7 (25:12):
He was in day and night doing session. He became
one of the busiest. He played piano for Elvis, Brenda Lee,
Patsy Klein, The Brown's, Jim Reeves, Eddie Arnold, Roy Orbison,
Don Gibson, the Everly Brothers, and a lot more. On
Presley's first RCA Victor single, Heartbreak Hotel, that was Floyd Kramer.
(25:39):
He would go on to become very famous following the
release of Last Date, the forty five single, which RCA
Victor would release in nineteen sixty.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Known our piano players could answer as.
Speaker 7 (25:57):
The slip note style, what a career And it takes
me back to a good time hearing that song, because
I can remember walking through the house when I was
coming into shower after mowing the grass, or washing the car,
coming home.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
From school, or whatever else. If the television was on.
Speaker 7 (26:17):
And it was a non prime time some broker had
bought time for Floyd Kramer's The Last Date Greatest Hits
album collection, and your grandmother may have bought that and
put it on in the background. All the musical stylings
Lloyd Kramer, I would like to end the show today
(26:42):
with a speech by Ronald Reagan. And the reason this
speech is so important is it is the moment that
launches Ronald Reagan's political career. He was already known and
well respected. He'd been the head of the Actors' Union.
He knew a lot of people. He's a very sociable guy,
very likable guy. But it was this moment that launched
(27:08):
Ronald Reagan's nineteen sixty four on behalf of the Republican
candidate for president who would lose very Goldwater. It came
to be known as a time for choosing, the line
being rendezvous with Destiny. Nehru had used a line at
(27:28):
the founding of India, a tryst with Destiny. I suspect
that's what this was lifted from. But rendezvous with Destiny
or a time for choosing, it's a great speech, It's timeless,
and I think we're at a time for choosing now.
We certainly were last November, and we made the right one.
So we'll take it to the house with some Ronald Reagan.
Speaker 10 (27:49):
But as a former Democrat, I can tell you Norman
Thomas isn't the only man who has drawn this parallel
to so they're now considered to be a dispensation of government,
and freedom has never been so fred so close to
slipping from our grasp as it is at this moment.
Our democratic opponents seem unwilling to debate these issues. Those
who would trade our freedom for the soup kitchen of
(28:10):
the welfare state have told us they have a utopian
solution of peace without victory. They call their policy accommodation,
and they say, if we'll only avoid any direct confrontation
with the enemy, he'll forget his evil ways and learn.
Speaker 1 (28:21):
To love us.
Speaker 10 (28:23):
All who oppose them are indicted as warmongers.
Speaker 1 (28:26):
They say, we.
Speaker 10 (28:27):
Offer simple answers to complex problems. But perhaps there is
a simple answer. Not an easy answer, but simple if
you and I have the courage to tell our elected
officials that we want our national policy based on what
we know in.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Our hearts is morally right.
Speaker 10 (28:42):
We cannot buy our security, our freedom from the threat
of the bomb by committing an immorality so great as
saying to a billion human beings now enslaved behind the
iron curtain, give up your dreams of freedom, because to
save our own skins, we're willing to make a deal
with your slave Master, Alexander Hamilton said, a nation which
(29:02):
can prefer disgrace to danger is prepared for a master
and deserves one. Now let's set the record straight. There's
no argument over the choice between peace and war. But
there's only one guaranteed way you can have peace, and
you can have it in the next second surrender. Admittedly,
there's a risk in any course we follow other than this,
but every lesson of history tells us that the greater
(29:25):
risk lies in appeasement.
Speaker 1 (29:27):
And this is the specter our well meaning.
Speaker 10 (29:29):
Liberal friends refuse to face that their policy of accommodation
is appeasement, and it gives no choice between peace and war,
only between fight or surrender. If we continue to accommodate,
continue to back and retreat, eventually we have to face
the final demand, the ultimatum. And what then When the
kedah Kruzchef has told his people he knows what our
(29:51):
answer will be.
Speaker 1 (29:52):
He has told.
Speaker 10 (29:53):
Them that we are retreating under the pressure of the
Cold War, and someday, when the time comes to deliver
the final all made of our surrender will be voluntary,
because by that time we will have been weakened from
within spiritually, morally, and economically. He believes this because from
our side, he's heard voices pleading for peace at any price,
or better red than dead, or, as one commentator put it,
(30:15):
he'd rather live.
Speaker 1 (30:16):
On his knees than die on his feet.
Speaker 10 (30:18):
And therein lies the road to war, because those voices
don't speak.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
For the rest of us.
Speaker 10 (30:23):
You and I know and do not believe that life
is so dear and peace so sweet as to be
purchased at the price of chains and slavery. If nothing
in life is worth dying for? When did this begin
just in the face of this enemy? Or should Moses
have told the children of Israel to live in slavery
under the Pharaohs? Should Christ have refused the cross? Should
(30:44):
the patriots at Conquered Bridge have thrown down their guns
and refuse.
Speaker 1 (30:47):
To fire the shot heard round the world?
Speaker 10 (30:50):
The martyrs of history were not fools, And our honored
dead who gave their lives to stop the advance of
the Nazis didn't die in vain.
Speaker 1 (30:58):
Where then, is the road to peace? Well, it's a
simple answer.
Speaker 10 (31:01):
After all, you and I have the courage to say
to our enemies there is a price we will not pay.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
There is a point.
Speaker 10 (31:09):
Beyond which they must not advance. Winston Churchill said the
destiny of man is not measured by material computations. When
great forces around the move in the world, we learn
we're spirits, not animals. And he said there's something going
on in time and space and beyond time and space, which,
(31:31):
whether we like it or not, spells duty. You and
I have a rendezvous with destiny. We'll preserve for our
children this the last best hope of men on earth,
or we'll sentence them to take the last step into
a thousand years of done.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Thank you, and good night.
