Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
The Michael Very Show is.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
On the air.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Pretty little lady, I was coming.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
To Red Christians.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
We're all gonna be like three little Fanzi's here and
what's fins?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
He like?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Come on you line to what's bindy?
Speaker 5 (00:43):
Like?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
What wreck the mundo? And that's what we're gonna be
you selling pictures. Couldn't close an umbrella.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
What's happening to my special partner? I'm drank now we
are I'm Trump.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
In early results in some exit polls, polling is running
about voting is running about four to one in favor
of warming the salsa. I'd say four to one. I'm
keeping them in a stack. I'm not. I don't want
you to think that I'm just guessing. Let's see, it
(01:33):
was one I thought was kind of interesting. It's always
put my glasses on for this one. It's always a plus.
When the salca is served hot. It makes me think
they mixed it up and cooked it fresh, just for me,
just for me. We had a guest on earlier in
(01:54):
the week. By the way, the phone lines were open
seven to one three. We had a guest on early
in the week who is a cousin of a young
man named Kenneth Cutting Junior. And he was a twenty
two year old young man who ended up floating in
Buffalo by you. The story behind what happened prior to
(02:20):
that is questionable. At a minimum. There's a married gay
couple that he was living with. They're considerably older than him.
He had had a lot of problems in his life,
(02:41):
but had apparently was apparently doing pretty well at the time.
He was waiting tables at a restaurant. He had no
means of transportation, and he looks to have been in
some sort of love triangle with these two. And what
(03:03):
we know is there is footage of the three of
them in bars on the night that he goes missing.
There is some footage of them taking his phone from him.
There's some things said at that point. It's going to
have to be reviewed more closely, but there is footage
of them in the bar before all this. We know
(03:24):
that at about two a m. A few hours later,
very odd his father gets a text from his phone
and that he's moving out, which apparently was quite atypical.
Almost sounds like somebody trying to cover themselves. So the
(03:45):
father goes to the home where he's living. This married
gay couple goes in the door and they have put
all his stuff in trash backs and they say, we
want him out, that's his stuff, and he said, okay,
where is he? We don't know. He just left without
(04:08):
his stuff. In the bag of clothes that they had
thrown together to get him out of there as fast
as possible. Was the shirt he was seen wearing in
the footage earlier that night, in the camera footage from
the bar. The plot thickens. How did the shirt get
(04:30):
home if he didn't. The couple tell investigators that they
dropped him off at Itin and Waco, which is east
of the Montrose bar where this all went down, and
they lived northwest of it So if they lived northwest
of the bar, why did they drop him off on
Iten east. It's not a direct route. They supposedly said
(04:54):
that they dropped him off because he demanded to be
let out. Then he's not heard from again, his phone
doesn't ping anywhere, and he's found two days later floating
the value, presumably having been there the entirety of that time.
There is no trauma to the body, there's no blunt force.
(05:19):
Investigators say that because so much time had passed, you
can't do a toxicology report. There were errors in the
medical examiner's report that should embarrass any major police department
and have in this case. The medical examiner saying, for instance,
that he had an implant of some sort of a
device in his neck after some traumatic incident. Oh no,
(05:41):
that was the wrong one. I'm told by the family
that they registered him as being something like four eleven
and eighty five pounds when he was five to four
one hundred and thirty five. You don't lose weight when
you're in the water, You bloat. The whole thing just stinks.
We have asked that HPD review the case. They have
(06:02):
declared it closed. It is our hope that they will
put a fresh set of eyes on that. We'll wait
and see. After our story Channel eleven did this story.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
The family of Kenneth Cutting tells me they got a
phone call from an HPD detective earlier this afternoon telling
them that police would not be reopening the case. This
comes after last week where we showed you that the
medical examiner said there were errors made in his autopsy.
Speaker 6 (06:29):
Said, I said, so, you're telling me a perfectly healthy
twenty two year old kid ended up dead in Buffalo
by You tell me why that happened, and he says, well, ma'am,
we might not ever know that.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Lauren Freeman says she got a call from an HPD
detective this afternoon to tell her the department would not
be reopening her cousin's case.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
So either the medical examiners asleep at the wheel, or
I don't know. I really don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Last week, Freeman went on Michael Berry's radio show to
discuss the mistake the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences
says were made to her cousin's autopsy report.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
She says the.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Medical examiner told her information from a different body was
accidentally added to his report. Dme's office says it was
a clerical error and the cause of death remains undetermined. Today,
HPD told me police would not be reopening the case
because there was no evidence of foul play.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
They need to be treated as homicides. They need to
be investigated from the get go, not Eight to ten months.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Later, Kenneth Cutting Junior had been missing for three days
when his body was pulled from Buffalo Bayo near downtown
in the summer of twenty twenty four, the night he
was last seen, he was out with friends at Pete's
Piano bar.
Speaker 6 (07:41):
That HPD hasn't done everything that possibly can to find
out what happened to my cousin.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
And oftentimes there's manpower issues, right, and if they're kind
of flooded with calls and you know, flooded with deaths
that they have to deal with, they have to go
with the most compelling first that they think they can
make a case on first, and that happens a lot.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
KHOU eleven law enforcement expert Tom Nixon is in a
turning and also a former Houston police officer. He says
he's not surprised the police close the case.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
If you don't have a clear causation of death, it
becomes increasingly difficult to then find a bad person to
charge with that person's death.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
But Freeman says that police don't want to investigate her
cousin's case. She will, She's already been doing it for
a year and a half.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
I just can't give up. I want to go back
to one of these women or chiefs them, Michael Mary.
I think that there might be said I got nothing
going on down there.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Probably my friend.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Had a mild cardial infarction and didn't know how bad
it was going to be. They were waiting for a procedure.
After the longest time, the surgeon finally came in and
said the transplant was not going to happen. He said,
I wanted to say something sooner, but I just didn't
have the heart. More voting coming in. Eric, the cleric right,
(09:13):
salsa is best at room temp to lukewarm, except for
that soupy red sausa some text makes places serve. It's
almost like a broth. That kind should be warm to hot.
Too cold and the flavor is muted. Too warm and
the sourness becomes amplified and the aroma becomes a sailant.
I argue the best off the shelf salsa for chips
(09:35):
is paste medium or hot if prepping from a refrigerated
jar of microwave on half power until room dimp Temp'll
so a lot of details from WILLM I mean from Eric.
Eugene writes, tzar, I prefer my salsa cold. It seems
thicker and it holds on the chip better. Great show
(09:56):
this morning, getting off the night shift, headed to the
deer leaves from my opening weekend. Have a great weekend.
I hope you enjoy your opening weekend, Eugene, and for
all of you who will be out in your deer
stand this weekend listening to our podcast Happy Hunting, Amanda writes,
I want my saucer slightly warm. Cold is disgusting. Goodness.
(10:20):
People are very opinionated on this matter. Laurie writes, my
grandma said we the latch Key kids preferred cold salsa
because my mom worked and we ate it after school,
straight from the fridge. It was a low key disc
at my mom. I feel certain. Freddie writes, I don't
(10:40):
mind hot or cold salsa. My favorite sausa is from
Tao Tehwakhan in the Heights aka the Pink Palace. I
don't know what kind of peppers they use, but it
has an orange hue and it is served piping hot.
I wish I knew the recipe. That's from Freddie Coleman
the third, but he wanted me to know that his
(11:01):
full name is Alfredo Coleman. See. People like to try
to give extra credence to their opinion by you know,
every email starts with you as a person that as
a doctor, as a lawyer, as a nurse as a Messican.
Connie Stagner of a Cory Diamonds, Diamonds and design notes
(11:24):
warm salsa like gringos and Jimmy Changas do there you go? Ramon,
did you weigh in on this? It's got to be warm,
gotta be warm? Okay, all right, I didn't know. I
didn't realize you that. Okay, Uh did you get that
(11:45):
email from Jim Mudd? Come in at eight twelve this morning,
Mattress mac and Alex Mieler. The congressional district that's one
of the new districts that's been created as part of
the redistricting is a district from the east side of
Harris County and it goes all the way into Liberty.
I think Liberty accounts the Liberty County voters account for
(12:07):
about fifteen percent of it. It is East Harris County,
but it'll be vastly majority Republican. You've got brisk Okaine,
the state rep from that area, and you've got Alex Meeler,
who defeated Lena hid Algo in an upset win, but
of course the election was stolen. Well, Briskcaine starts with
(12:28):
an advantage anytime you're a state rep in a congressional district,
you start with a built in constituency if they like you.
We don't know if that's true or not, but that's
an advantage. But Alex Mieler has strong name idea because
she ran again a great campaign for a county judge,
and a lot of folks who saw her as a
candidate there believes she would make a great elected official,
(12:50):
Mattress mac being one of those, Commissioner Tom Ramsey being
one of those. And I think she showed. She showed
she smart and tough, and a lot of people really
like to see that. She's also got a great on paper.
She's amazing, you know, West Point, Harvard Law, Harvard NBA.
She's done some very impressive things, and she's a policy nut.
(13:12):
She's a person who really is focused on making good
policies for the private sector and for families, which most
of the people in politics have nothing to do with.
So the Briscoe Cane folks have got this walk behind them.
But it's going to be interesting because if Mieler has
the money to tell the story, Briscoe Caine has some
(13:35):
real problems. He was one of the impeachment managers against
Ken Paxton. He worked very hard to try to get
Ken Paxton kicked out of being Attorney General. So there
was a woman that emailed me the other day and
she said, well, he's made amends for that this year.
He said he regrets it. Oh okay, well, by that measure,
(14:01):
should we have just let Charlie Manson out? Once he apologized,
what do you mean you will be judged by your deeds.
It's not that he sat back and wasn't sure. He
actively tried to kick Ken Paxton out of the seat
that we elected him to. Voters are going to know
that by the spring. So what they do is they
(14:24):
do a real quick poll and go ap. He's up
with over half the voters don't know what who they're
going to vote for because they don't know yet. That's
a bad sign for him. Well, once people find out
exactly what has happened, you're going to see those numbers change.
An early poll is often wrong because people haven't been
(14:45):
told what has happened yet. The other thing is Briscoe
Caine took money more than once, a lot of money,
a lot of money from Colony Ridge, calling Colony Ridge
the American Dream. Let me tell you what law enforcement
(15:06):
who's worked Connie Ridge tell me it's the most frightening
thing they've seen on moss as to scale is the
most frightening thing. It is a hotbed of crime. Ris
Cocaine called that and worked hard for the Harris family.
They could build more of colony. Ridge, is that what
you want in Congress? From morning suits to coordinating accessories? Kevin,
(15:26):
you are the next contestant.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Years ago out every Sunday after church with the with
the church group, and we just wrote rotate restaurants.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
What's a month we go to a.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Little on a little place off of sideless.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Drug So well said sir Ken, you're on the Michael
Berry Show. What say you.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
More than Michael?
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (15:53):
I'm not really that concerned. It's a temperature of false
but concerned is uh? Trump does not need to be
blamed for the prices being high on on a new
goods and versus. It's a Democrat problem. And it was
(16:13):
created by the Affordable Care Act, or not the Affordable
Care Act, but the uh what was it called Inflation
Inflation Reduction Act, which which was really the Green New Deal.
And as soon as that came out and then they
(16:34):
attacked energy. The price of everything went up because it
was costing more to manufacture retail, retailers were paying more,
suppliers were paying more. And uh it was the Democrats
that caused that, and and the prices all went up.
Now energy is back down. But these these retailers and
(16:56):
the manufacturers and suppliers, they haven't brought their prices back now, right,
They just kept them up, and actually they're raising them up.
I don't understand what's going on here because Trump is
not to blame for this.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Well, when you say I don't understand what's going on,
do you mean you don't understand why they don't change
their prices or you don't understand why Trump gets blamed?
Speaker 1 (17:20):
How that?
Speaker 2 (17:21):
So you said I don't understand what's happening. I'm simply
trying to grasp what you don't understand. Can you explain
what you don't understand.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
I don't understand why the prices don't come back down
since energy has come back down.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Why would the prices come back down if they can
get away with charging this and getting well that's just said.
You know it's not again. These are the sorts of
things that Thomas Soul addresses directly and simply and accessibly constantly.
(17:55):
A transaction is not a philanthropy. Undertaking a transaction is
serving your own best interest. If in the process someone
else's own best interest is served, great, But what drives
us is the serving of our own best interest. Now,
(18:19):
all this socialist man be pamby BS has caused people
to not even be able to make that statement. You
don't build a house so that everybody in the community
can have nice things. We have gotten so ashamed of
doing things that are as natural as can be since
God put us on this earth. I can't tell you
(18:43):
how many businesses I ask how they're doing and they
can't tell me they're doing well because they're so embarrassed
to be doing well. So the best there to well,
we just try to help people. Okay, Well, then don't
charge anything for anything, do everything for free and just
help people. Well, we'd go out of business. You don't
need to be in business, you're just helping people. All
(19:05):
of this the infiltration, the sickness that the left has
imposed on this country. So let's think about this. The
only way that the consumer can communicate with the provider
on pricing is to make the purchase or not. If
you overpay for something, you are saying that is an
(19:30):
acceptable price. Could y'all please turn the turn the can
you'll please lower the price for me. It's not going
to work. You ever, notice what people do when they're overstocked,
They drop the price. What people do when they can't
sell something, they drop the price, not because they're nice people,
not because we ask them nicely. You're seeing this in
(19:52):
every aspect of American life. Let's take artificial intelligence. People
have wiped out the phone systems, They've wiped out the
entirety of humans interacting in a customer service manner. All
the big companies have gone to this, and they didn't
lower their prices. Well, there was an original investment in
(20:14):
the technology to replace human beings, and it took human
beings to implement it. And then the human beings are
all gone. So you have all those savings because an
employee unit cost is a lot more than what you
pay him. Every employee costs you their wages plus the
taxes you pay on their behalf. Because our whole system
(20:34):
is based and see, this is going to be another
problem in this country. We've built our government's revenue source
on taxing, the transaction between the employer and the employee,
the income tax. If people don't make income, you have
nothing to tax. So every person that gets laid off
(20:56):
and replaced by artificial intelligence, robotics, you name it, is
a person that is no longer contributing to the revenue stream.
So even though private sector revenues are going up, you're
going to see over a period of time and arc
of revenues going down for government at least revenues that
(21:16):
are derived from the income tax. And instead of being
a contributor to the system as an income tax payer
individual in business, you're going to see that person a
recipient and they're going to be on unemployment and you're
going to see more and more of that. So as
companies have cut the cost of human beings, they didn't go, hey,
(21:36):
we're passing the savings on to you. The inflationary response
to the Inflation Reduction Act, which was actually the Inflation
Increase Act, has been with inflation that prices have not
come back down. If companies could push those prices up
and keep them there, and they have, and as long
as people still make those purchases, they're going to stay
(21:58):
right there. Michael writes, warm salsa is the way to
go unless there's green sauce. I like to mix both
green and red on a single chip, and green sauce
is always cold. Whenever the cold green sauce is added
to the warm sausa, it just throws it off from me.
Hot and cold don't go together. It's not kosher. I
(22:20):
added the kosher, by the way, Ramon Salsa temp This
is from Nicholas Brown. Depends on the type of salsa.
Fresh sausa with no cooked ingredients should be served cool
like pico de gayo. Worm sausa needs acho in it,
darker color, different flavors. Ramon, Can I confess something and
(22:42):
not have to hear about it for ten years? See?
That's it. You're better off just playing your cards close
to your vest, because if you confess things to people
they ought to respect. They might they ought to say, oh,
you know, I don't really like that, but I respect you. Well,
I'll tell you I don't really care for pickle to God,
but I like it as a concept of Look, but
(23:03):
I don't. I don't cray it on. Oh, I won't
pick the guys. I really don't.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
How you learned this is Sheridan Q Liquor with today's
birthday and anniversary era, I wanna Wishaveria happy birthday this
morning to Phenelope and Arrhythmia day are twins and this

She turned eight today and she getting her first ear rings,
(23:32):

mama say he turned at thirteen. As far as she
knowing crazy in hell, Okay, as far as anniversary Goemonia
and Clar's been married for twenty some years.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
They say they gonna go.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Ahead and celebrate tonight down at the club. They forgot
their certificate, but she remembered it was some time when
it was hot, so it's probably about this time.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Ooh ooh.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
And you know what I had heard, Sharon, she Canelica.
They say she have done eloped with de Vayne sheham
Plane and they were discippeared since last night. But his
Cadillac was spotted at the motel. I give that one
two weeks, honey. As soon as they both sowed up,
they gonna realize that was ignorant and they're gonna.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Have to get it a nud did it? And let's
stay on this day in history.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
Oh, five years ago today, Shanelda Jenkins moved in upstairs
with her five hundred pounds.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
But lord, my ceiling ain't.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
Never been the same since me done got cracked it
all up in. Nobody had even saw that woman. But
every time she take a bath, I get nervous. Well,
all right, then have a happy day and tell you
Mama asks and how she dared.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Brandy Rice look up why tomatoes should not be refrigerated?
And that's your answer on salse attempt. I'm just gonna
go ahead and tell you right now. So I'm sitting
in the studio talking, managing input from a lot of listeners.
What songs we're gonna play, what clip we're gonna play,
(25:02):
making calls to verify on stories that what's been reported
as accurate, figure out what we're gonna do in the
next segment, the one after that, and the one after that,
going to pe. So one hundred different things coming at
me while we do the show, which we're trying to
make as good as possible. I enjoy getting input from listeners,
(25:23):
but when a listener says, look up this and you'll
know the answer. When would I go look things up? When?
When would I do it? Why not? If you know it,
why not just say it. I don't understand. I will
never for the life of me, I won't understand that.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Ramon.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Julia Anne writes warm or hot sauce, warm or cold
saucer salsa. We'll eat either, but we prefer our sauce
of cold, especially if the chips are warm. Cold sauca
keeps the flavors of the ingredients separate. I like to
taste them all. Warm sausa is more like a soup,
(26:04):
is a leftover, which for soup I love because it
is more flavorful. Ramon, just not my sauca either way.
If their caso isn't good, I'm not going because that's
what I pour on my food. Thanks and gig them, Julianne.
How about that? Bobby writes, you know what, the price
(26:27):
ain't changed on chips and salsa. Good boy. I'm always
amazed when I leave Texas and you go in and
you know you have a I realize this is entitled
this is entitled one oh one, but you have an expectation.
It's a cultural thing. You walk in a good text
(26:50):
Max restaurant, when you walk in, when you sit down,
before they even bring a water, there should be some
dude and they it would be not just Hispanic, they
should be first generation Mexican. I'm all for deporting, but
if somebody's on the line and we get low to
where we don't have somebody can deliver the chips, I'm
(27:11):
more than happy to offer some exemptions because that well,
for that matter, I cannot eat. I cannot see food
as authentic if the people serving it are not from
that group. Yep, are you serious? What? Well, you went
to a Mexican restaurant and they made the chips to order? Okay,
(27:36):
what's the punchline? It was an El Paso. What's the
name of it? I heard you, Huh, what's the name
of it? Oh, they're so good, and you remembered it
so well that you didn't bother to write the name
down so that you could tell other people to go
try it. You're the reason we can't have nice things.
This is why businesses die out. I get emails every day.
(27:58):
I sure do wish you REOPENRCC boy, I'd been meaning
to go out there. I was gonna get out there.
I was shoo man. I'd look up every time y'all
had this. I was gonna come. I didn't quite make it,
but it was almost ten years. Yeah, you opened another one,
and I tell you what, if I opened another one,
it will not be on the basis of my expectation
(28:20):
of you ever spending a penny. Thank you. I appreciate
the kind words, but no. Jaren writes, have you ever
paid attention to this little weasel? Weasel Bristol Cane's Facebook page?
Good gosh, it's horrible. First off, he has this little
mustache on his face and I want to smack it off.
Jaring you getting violin him. He wears a cowboy hat
(28:41):
and takes all of his videos with the camera at
his feet pointed up to make him look taller than
to two. He deepens his voice awkwardly and starts all
his videos with howdy. He's worse than John Wayne mccornan.
He's a poser. It's like he's some caricature of what
a Texas politician would be in a book or a cartoon.
He's horrible. Oh. I don't know about all that, but
(29:02):
that's one person's opinion. Do you have that Mattress Mac
and Alex Meeler spot that they're running. I think they're
running on k GR eh so our studio goes dark
during the break, so you might have heard this already,
but this is their new spot.
Speaker 7 (29:16):
Mattress Mac. We need more Trump and less swamp. And
that's why I'm all in for Alex Mieler for Congress.
She's running against Briscoecaine a swamp, right, It's true, not
one but two donations for Collie Ridge, the largest illegal
alien settlement in the US. It gets worse after taking
a swamp money. Briscoe can call Connley Ridge the American dream.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Mac, You're right, Cony Ridge isn't the American dream, is
an American nightmare.
Speaker 6 (29:40):
Brisk Cocaine is unfit to serve supporting open borders and cartels.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Uh, it's true. He took a lot of money from
Cony Ridge. He's very close with the developer and he
told us how great Colony Ridge was. But had you
never visited? Were you not aware of the complaints? Look,
people can vote for whoever they want. That's the beauty
of democracy. But if you don't punish somebody for having
(30:15):
helped Colony Ridge, happen. We hadn't heard the last Colony Ridge.
By the way, it's going to be much worse. It's there,
those people are there, that property is there. I will
hear from law enforcement, Fed's County local and the busts
that they do in that place. They're bad. I mean
(30:35):
the amount of drugs, the amount of guns, the amount
of criminal activity. It's a cartel hotbed. Rist Cocaine called it,
called it to American dream El Taquito was the name
of it. I'm right in the middla, absolutely not. Whoever
said pecante, well, get a road. Bobby says if someone
(30:57):
says they like paste pecante sauce, they should be banned
from listening to the program. Jennifer says, I do not discriminate.
I love all sausa have a great weekend, but you
have a great weekend too. Bonnie writes, I think the
reason why you don't like Pico is because the tomatoes
are always pale and unripe. They never have any dark
red tomatoes in there. I make cucumber tomato salad a lot,
(31:19):
and I love it because I use ripe cherry tomatoes.
I believe someone said gringo sauce is warm, but it
is not. It's room tempt and perfect. Also try their
heart Hot Bar saucer. I didn't remember it being warm either,
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
The Michael Very Show is.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
On the air.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
Pretty little lady, I was coming.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
To Red Christians.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
We're all gonna be like three little Fanzi's here and
what's fins?
Speaker 1 (00:41):
He like?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Come on you line to what's bindy?
Speaker 5 (00:43):
Like?
Speaker 2 (00:44):
What wreck the mundo? And that's what we're gonna be
you selling pictures. Couldn't close an umbrella.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
What's happening to my special partner? I'm drank now we
are I'm Trump.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
In early results in some exit polls, polling is running
about voting is running about four to one in favor
of warming the salsa. I'd say four to one. I'm
keeping them in a stack. I'm not. I don't want
you to think that I'm just guessing. Let's see, it
(01:33):
was one I thought was kind of interesting. It's always
put my glasses on for this one. It's always a plus.
When the salca is served hot. It makes me think
they mixed it up and cooked it fresh, just for me,
just for me. We had a guest on earlier in
(01:54):
the week. By the way, the phone lines were open
seven to one three. We had a guest on early
in the week who is a cousin of a young
man named Kenneth Cutting Junior. And he was a twenty
two year old young man who ended up floating in
Buffalo by you. The story behind what happened prior to
(02:20):
that is questionable. At a minimum. There's a married gay
couple that he was living with. They're considerably older than him.
He had had a lot of problems in his life,
(02:41):
but had apparently was apparently doing pretty well at the time.
He was waiting tables at a restaurant. He had no
means of transportation, and he looks to have been in
some sort of love triangle with these two. And what
(03:03):
we know is there is footage of the three of
them in bars on the night that he goes missing.
There is some footage of them taking his phone from him.
There's some things said at that point. It's going to
have to be reviewed more closely, but there is footage
of them in the bar before all this. We know
(03:24):
that at about two a m. A few hours later,
very odd his father gets a text from his phone
and that he's moving out, which apparently was quite atypical.
Almost sounds like somebody trying to cover themselves. So the
(03:45):
father goes to the home where he's living. This married
gay couple goes in the door and they have put
all his stuff in trash backs and they say, we
want him out, that's his stuff, and he said, okay,
where is he? We don't know. He just left without
(04:08):
his stuff. In the bag of clothes that they had
thrown together to get him out of there as fast
as possible. Was the shirt he was seen wearing in
the footage earlier that night, in the camera footage from
the bar. The plot thickens. How did the shirt get
(04:30):
home if he didn't. The couple tell investigators that they
dropped him off at Itin and Waco, which is east
of the Montrose bar where this all went down, and
they lived northwest of it So if they lived northwest
of the bar, why did they drop him off on
Iten east. It's not a direct route. They supposedly said
(04:54):
that they dropped him off because he demanded to be
let out. Then he's not heard from again, his phone
doesn't ping anywhere, and he's found two days later floating
the value, presumably having been there the entirety of that time.
There is no trauma to the body, there's no blunt force.
(05:19):
Investigators say that because so much time had passed, you
can't do a toxicology report. There were errors in the
medical examiner's report that should embarrass any major police department
and have in this case. The medical examiner saying, for instance,
that he had an implant of some sort of a
device in his neck after some traumatic incident. Oh no,
(05:41):
that was the wrong one. I'm told by the family
that they registered him as being something like four eleven
and eighty five pounds when he was five to four
one hundred and thirty five. You don't lose weight when
you're in the water, You bloat. The whole thing just stinks.
We have asked that HPD review the case. They have
(06:02):
declared it closed. It is our hope that they will
put a fresh set of eyes on that. We'll wait
and see. After our story Channel eleven did this story.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
The family of Kenneth Cutting tells me they got a
phone call from an HPD detective earlier this afternoon telling
them that police would not be reopening the case. This
comes after last week where we showed you that the
medical examiner said there were errors made in his autopsy.
Speaker 6 (06:29):
Said, I said, so, you're telling me a perfectly healthy
twenty two year old kid ended up dead in Buffalo
by You tell me why that happened, and he says, well, ma'am,
we might not ever know that.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Lauren Freeman says she got a call from an HPD
detective this afternoon to tell her the department would not
be reopening her cousin's case.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
So either the medical examiners asleep at the wheel, or
I don't know. I really don't know.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Last week, Freeman went on Michael Berry's radio show to
discuss the mistake the Harris County Institute of Forensic Sciences
says were made to her cousin's autopsy report.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
She says the.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Medical examiner told her information from a different body was
accidentally added to his report. Dme's office says it was
a clerical error and the cause of death remains undetermined. Today,
HPD told me police would not be reopening the case
because there was no evidence of foul play.
Speaker 6 (07:23):
They need to be treated as homicides. They need to
be investigated from the get go, not Eight to ten months.
Speaker 3 (07:28):
Later, Kenneth Cutting Junior had been missing for three days
when his body was pulled from Buffalo Bayo near downtown
in the summer of twenty twenty four, the night he
was last seen, he was out with friends at Pete's
Piano bar.
Speaker 6 (07:41):
That HPD hasn't done everything that possibly can to find
out what happened to my cousin.
Speaker 5 (07:45):
And oftentimes there's manpower issues, right, and if they're kind
of flooded with calls and you know, flooded with deaths
that they have to deal with, they have to go
with the most compelling first that they think they can
make a case on first, and that happens a lot.
Speaker 3 (08:01):
KHOU eleven law enforcement expert Tom Nixon is in a
turning and also a former Houston police officer. He says
he's not surprised the police close the case.
Speaker 5 (08:10):
If you don't have a clear causation of death, it
becomes increasingly difficult to then find a bad person to
charge with that person's death.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
But Freeman says that police don't want to investigate her
cousin's case. She will, She's already been doing it for
a year and a half.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
I just can't give up. I want to go back
to one of these women or chiefs them, Michael Mary.
I think that there might be said I got nothing
going on down there.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Probably my friend.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Had a mild cardial infarction and didn't know how bad
it was going to be. They were waiting for a procedure.
After the longest time, the surgeon finally came in and
said the transplant was not going to happen. He said,
I wanted to say something sooner, but I just didn't
have the heart. More voting coming in. Eric, the cleric right,
(09:13):
salsa is best at room temp to lukewarm, except for
that soupy red sausa some text makes places serve. It's
almost like a broth. That kind should be warm to hot.
Too cold and the flavor is muted. Too warm and
the sourness becomes amplified and the aroma becomes a sailant.
I argue the best off the shelf salsa for chips
(09:35):
is paste medium or hot if prepping from a refrigerated
jar of microwave on half power until room dimp Temp'll
so a lot of details from WILLM I mean from Eric.
Eugene writes, tzar, I prefer my salsa cold. It seems
thicker and it holds on the chip better. Great show
(09:56):
this morning, getting off the night shift, headed to the
deer leaves from my opening weekend. Have a great weekend.
I hope you enjoy your opening weekend, Eugene, and for
all of you who will be out in your deer
stand this weekend listening to our podcast Happy Hunting, Amanda writes,
I want my saucer slightly warm. Cold is disgusting. Goodness.
(10:20):
People are very opinionated on this matter. Laurie writes, my
grandma said we the latch Key kids preferred cold salsa
because my mom worked and we ate it after school,
straight from the fridge. It was a low key disc
at my mom. I feel certain. Freddie writes, I don't
(10:40):
mind hot or cold salsa. My favorite sausa is from
Tao Tehwakhan in the Heights aka the Pink Palace. I
don't know what kind of peppers they use, but it
has an orange hue and it is served piping hot.
I wish I knew the recipe. That's from Freddie Coleman
the third, but he wanted me to know that his
(11:01):
full name is Alfredo Coleman. See. People like to try
to give extra credence to their opinion by you know,
every email starts with you as a person that as
a doctor, as a lawyer, as a nurse as a Messican.
Connie Stagner of a Cory Diamonds, Diamonds and design notes
(11:24):
warm salsa like gringos and Jimmy Changas do there you go? Ramon,
did you weigh in on this? It's got to be warm,
gotta be warm? Okay, all right, I didn't know. I
didn't realize you that. Okay, Uh did you get that
(11:45):
email from Jim Mudd? Come in at eight twelve this morning,
Mattress mac and Alex Mieler. The congressional district that's one
of the new districts that's been created as part of
the redistricting is a district from the east side of
Harris County and it goes all the way into Liberty.
I think Liberty accounts the Liberty County voters account for
(12:07):
about fifteen percent of it. It is East Harris County,
but it'll be vastly majority Republican. You've got brisk Okaine,
the state rep from that area, and you've got Alex Meeler,
who defeated Lena hid Algo in an upset win, but
of course the election was stolen. Well, Briskcaine starts with
(12:28):
an advantage anytime you're a state rep in a congressional district,
you start with a built in constituency if they like you.
We don't know if that's true or not, but that's
an advantage. But Alex Mieler has strong name idea because
she ran again a great campaign for a county judge,
and a lot of folks who saw her as a
candidate there believes she would make a great elected official,
(12:50):
Mattress mac being one of those, Commissioner Tom Ramsey being
one of those. And I think she showed. She showed
she smart and tough, and a lot of people really
like to see that. She's also got a great on paper.
She's amazing, you know, West Point, Harvard Law, Harvard NBA.
She's done some very impressive things, and she's a policy nut.
(13:12):
She's a person who really is focused on making good
policies for the private sector and for families, which most
of the people in politics have nothing to do with.
So the Briscoe Cane folks have got this walk behind them.
But it's going to be interesting because if Mieler has
the money to tell the story, Briscoe Caine has some
(13:35):
real problems. He was one of the impeachment managers against
Ken Paxton. He worked very hard to try to get
Ken Paxton kicked out of being Attorney General. So there
was a woman that emailed me the other day and
she said, well, he's made amends for that this year.
He said he regrets it. Oh okay, well, by that measure,
(14:01):
should we have just let Charlie Manson out? Once he apologized,
what do you mean you will be judged by your deeds.
It's not that he sat back and wasn't sure. He
actively tried to kick Ken Paxton out of the seat
that we elected him to. Voters are going to know
that by the spring. So what they do is they
(14:24):
do a real quick poll and go ap. He's up
with over half the voters don't know what who they're
going to vote for because they don't know yet. That's
a bad sign for him. Well, once people find out
exactly what has happened, you're going to see those numbers change.
An early poll is often wrong because people haven't been
(14:45):
told what has happened yet. The other thing is Briscoe
Caine took money more than once, a lot of money,
a lot of money from Colony Ridge, calling Colony Ridge
the American Dream. Let me tell you what law enforcement
(15:06):
who's worked Connie Ridge tell me it's the most frightening
thing they've seen on moss as to scale is the
most frightening thing. It is a hotbed of crime. Ris
Cocaine called that and worked hard for the Harris family.
They could build more of colony. Ridge, is that what
you want in Congress? From morning suits to coordinating accessories? Kevin,
(15:26):
you are the next contestant.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Years ago out every Sunday after church with the with
the church group, and we just wrote rotate restaurants.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
What's a month we go to a.
Speaker 1 (15:37):
Little on a little place off of sideless.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Drug So well said sir Ken, you're on the Michael
Berry Show. What say you.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
More than Michael?
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (15:53):
I'm not really that concerned. It's a temperature of false
but concerned is uh? Trump does not need to be
blamed for the prices being high on on a new
goods and versus. It's a Democrat problem. And it was
(16:13):
created by the Affordable Care Act, or not the Affordable
Care Act, but the uh what was it called Inflation
Inflation Reduction Act, which which was really the Green New Deal.
And as soon as that came out and then they
(16:34):
attacked energy. The price of everything went up because it
was costing more to manufacture retail, retailers were paying more,
suppliers were paying more. And uh it was the Democrats
that caused that, and and the prices all went up.
Now energy is back down. But these these retailers and
(16:56):
the manufacturers and suppliers, they haven't brought their prices back now, right,
They just kept them up, and actually they're raising them up.
I don't understand what's going on here because Trump is
not to blame for this.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
Well, when you say I don't understand what's going on,
do you mean you don't understand why they don't change
their prices or you don't understand why Trump gets blamed?
Speaker 1 (17:20):
How that?
Speaker 2 (17:21):
So you said I don't understand what's happening. I'm simply
trying to grasp what you don't understand. Can you explain
what you don't understand.
Speaker 1 (17:30):
I don't understand why the prices don't come back down
since energy has come back down.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Why would the prices come back down if they can
get away with charging this and getting well that's just said.
You know it's not again. These are the sorts of
things that Thomas Soul addresses directly and simply and accessibly constantly.
(17:55):
A transaction is not a philanthropy. Undertaking a transaction is
serving your own best interest. If in the process someone
else's own best interest is served, great, But what drives
us is the serving of our own best interest. Now,
(18:19):
all this socialist man be pamby BS has caused people
to not even be able to make that statement. You
don't build a house so that everybody in the community
can have nice things. We have gotten so ashamed of
doing things that are as natural as can be since
God put us on this earth. I can't tell you
(18:43):
how many businesses I ask how they're doing and they
can't tell me they're doing well because they're so embarrassed
to be doing well. So the best there to well,
we just try to help people. Okay, Well, then don't
charge anything for anything, do everything for free and just
help people. Well, we'd go out of business. You don't
need to be in business, you're just helping people. All
(19:05):
of this the infiltration, the sickness that the left has
imposed on this country. So let's think about this. The
only way that the consumer can communicate with the provider
on pricing is to make the purchase or not. If
you overpay for something, you are saying that is an
(19:30):
acceptable price. Could y'all please turn the turn the can
you'll please lower the price for me. It's not going
to work. You ever, notice what people do when they're overstocked,
They drop the price. What people do when they can't
sell something, they drop the price, not because they're nice people,
not because we ask them nicely. You're seeing this in
(19:52):
every aspect of American life. Let's take artificial intelligence. People
have wiped out the phone systems, They've wiped out the
entirety of humans interacting in a customer service manner. All
the big companies have gone to this, and they didn't
lower their prices. Well, there was an original investment in
(20:14):
the technology to replace human beings, and it took human
beings to implement it. And then the human beings are
all gone. So you have all those savings because an
employee unit cost is a lot more than what you
pay him. Every employee costs you their wages plus the
taxes you pay on their behalf. Because our whole system
(20:34):
is based and see, this is going to be another
problem in this country. We've built our government's revenue source
on taxing, the transaction between the employer and the employee,
the income tax. If people don't make income, you have
nothing to tax. So every person that gets laid off
(20:56):
and replaced by artificial intelligence, robotics, you name it, is
a person that is no longer contributing to the revenue stream.
So even though private sector revenues are going up, you're
going to see over a period of time and arc
of revenues going down for government at least revenues that
(21:16):
are derived from the income tax. And instead of being
a contributor to the system as an income tax payer
individual in business, you're going to see that person a
recipient and they're going to be on unemployment and you're
going to see more and more of that. So as
companies have cut the cost of human beings, they didn't go, hey,
(21:36):
we're passing the savings on to you. The inflationary response
to the Inflation Reduction Act, which was actually the Inflation
Increase Act, has been with inflation that prices have not
come back down. If companies could push those prices up
and keep them there, and they have, and as long
as people still make those purchases, they're going to stay
(21:58):
right there. Michael writes, warm salsa is the way to
go unless there's green sauce. I like to mix both
green and red on a single chip, and green sauce
is always cold. Whenever the cold green sauce is added
to the warm sausa, it just throws it off from me.
Hot and cold don't go together. It's not kosher. I
(22:20):
added the kosher, by the way, Ramon Salsa temp This
is from Nicholas Brown. Depends on the type of salsa.
Fresh sausa with no cooked ingredients should be served cool
like pico de gayo. Worm sausa needs acho in it,
darker color, different flavors. Ramon, Can I confess something and
(22:42):
not have to hear about it for ten years? See?
That's it. You're better off just playing your cards close
to your vest, because if you confess things to people
they ought to respect. They might they ought to say, oh,
you know, I don't really like that, but I respect you. Well,
I'll tell you I don't really care for pickle to God,
but I like it as a concept of Look, but
(23:03):
I don't. I don't cray it on. Oh, I won't
pick the guys. I really don't.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
How you learned this is Sheridan Q Liquor with today's
birthday and anniversary era, I wanna Wishaveria happy birthday this
morning to Phenelope and Arrhythmia day are twins and this
is day fifth birthday. Then Mama supposed to take them
down to MacDonald get them a happy meals that clock successively.
She turned eight today and she getting her first ear rings,
(23:32):
pissed it up in her head and absorbing Junior. His
mama say he turned at thirteen. As far as she
knowing crazy in hell, Okay, as far as anniversary Goemonia
and Clar's been married for twenty some years.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
They say they gonna go.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
Ahead and celebrate tonight down at the club. They forgot
their certificate, but she remembered it was some time when
it was hot, so it's probably about this time.
Speaker 2 (23:56):
Ooh ooh.
Speaker 4 (23:57):
And you know what I had heard, Sharon, she Canelica.
They say she have done eloped with de Vayne sheham
Plane and they were discippeared since last night. But his
Cadillac was spotted at the motel. I give that one
two weeks, honey. As soon as they both sowed up,
they gonna realize that was ignorant and they're gonna.
Speaker 2 (24:15):
Have to get it a nud did it? And let's
stay on this day in history.
Speaker 4 (24:20):
Oh, five years ago today, Shanelda Jenkins moved in upstairs
with her five hundred pounds.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
But lord, my ceiling ain't.
Speaker 4 (24:27):
Never been the same since me done got cracked it
all up in. Nobody had even saw that woman. But
every time she take a bath, I get nervous. Well,
all right, then have a happy day and tell you
Mama asks and how she dared.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
Brandy Rice look up why tomatoes should not be refrigerated?
And that's your answer on salse attempt. I'm just gonna
go ahead and tell you right now. So I'm sitting
in the studio talking, managing input from a lot of listeners.
What songs we're gonna play, what clip we're gonna play,
(25:02):
making calls to verify on stories that what's been reported
as accurate, figure out what we're gonna do in the
next segment, the one after that, and the one after that,
going to pe. So one hundred different things coming at
me while we do the show, which we're trying to
make as good as possible. I enjoy getting input from listeners,
(25:23):
but when a listener says, look up this and you'll
know the answer. When would I go look things up? When?
When would I do it? Why not? If you know it,
why not just say it. I don't understand. I will
never for the life of me, I won't understand that.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
Ramon.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Julia Anne writes warm or hot sauce, warm or cold
saucer salsa. We'll eat either, but we prefer our sauce
of cold, especially if the chips are warm. Cold sauca
keeps the flavors of the ingredients separate. I like to
taste them all. Warm sausa is more like a soup,
(26:04):
is a leftover, which for soup I love because it
is more flavorful. Ramon, just not my sauca either way.
If their caso isn't good, I'm not going because that's
what I pour on my food. Thanks and gig them, Julianne.
How about that? Bobby writes, you know what, the price
(26:27):
ain't changed on chips and salsa. Good boy. I'm always
amazed when I leave Texas and you go in and
you know you have a I realize this is entitled
this is entitled one oh one, but you have an expectation.
It's a cultural thing. You walk in a good text
(26:50):
Max restaurant, when you walk in, when you sit down,
before they even bring a water, there should be some
dude and they it would be not just Hispanic, they
should be first generation Mexican. I'm all for deporting, but
if somebody's on the line and we get low to
where we don't have somebody can deliver the chips, I'm
(27:11):
more than happy to offer some exemptions because that well,
for that matter, I cannot eat. I cannot see food
as authentic if the people serving it are not from
that group. Yep, are you serious? What? Well, you went
to a Mexican restaurant and they made the chips to order? Okay,
(27:36):
what's the punchline? It was an El Paso. What's the
name of it? I heard you, Huh, what's the name
of it? Oh, they're so good, and you remembered it
so well that you didn't bother to write the name
down so that you could tell other people to go
try it. You're the reason we can't have nice things.
This is why businesses die out. I get emails every day.
(27:58):
I sure do wish you REOPENRCC boy, I'd been meaning
to go out there. I was gonna get out there.
I was shoo man. I'd look up every time y'all
had this. I was gonna come. I didn't quite make it,
but it was almost ten years. Yeah, you opened another one,
and I tell you what, if I opened another one,
it will not be on the basis of my expectation
(28:20):
of you ever spending a penny. Thank you. I appreciate
the kind words, but no. Jaren writes, have you ever
paid attention to this little weasel? Weasel Bristol Cane's Facebook page?
Good gosh, it's horrible. First off, he has this little
mustache on his face and I want to smack it off.
Jaring you getting violin him. He wears a cowboy hat
(28:41):
and takes all of his videos with the camera at
his feet pointed up to make him look taller than
to two. He deepens his voice awkwardly and starts all
his videos with howdy. He's worse than John Wayne mccornan.
He's a poser. It's like he's some caricature of what
a Texas politician would be in a book or a cartoon.
He's horrible. Oh. I don't know about all that, but
(29:02):
that's one person's opinion. Do you have that Mattress Mac
and Alex Meeler spot that they're running. I think they're
running on k GR eh so our studio goes dark
during the break, so you might have heard this already,
but this is their new spot.
Speaker 7 (29:16):
Mattress Mac. We need more Trump and less swamp. And
that's why I'm all in for Alex Mieler for Congress.
She's running against Briscoecaine a swamp, right, It's true, not
one but two donations for Collie Ridge, the largest illegal
alien settlement in the US. It gets worse after taking
a swamp money. Briscoe can call Connley Ridge the American dream.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Mac, You're right, Cony Ridge isn't the American dream, is
an American nightmare.
Speaker 6 (29:40):
Brisk Cocaine is unfit to serve supporting open borders and cartels.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Uh, it's true. He took a lot of money from
Cony Ridge. He's very close with the developer and he
told us how great Colony Ridge was. But had you
