Speaker 1 (00:02):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. The
Michael Varry Show is on the air. It's Charlie from
BlackBerrys Mother. I can feel a good one coming on.

(00:22):
It's the Michael Berry Show. Oh, yes, it is, Yes,
it is. Glad you're here with Well, I tell.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
You, I'm glad our primaries are over in Texas.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
It was.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
It was quite a grind.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
I got as often very emotionally evolved in trying to
get the best candidates over the finish line. I get
frustrated because you know, I have a tendency to see
everything through a David and Goliath lyns. My parents had

(01:00):
that mindset. My dad was a maintenance worker, my mom
didn't work outside the home, and so there was always
this perception that, you know, unless you were rich and
powerful and connected, then everything worked against you. And in
many cases that was true. And so it informed and

(01:20):
defined who I am and the fights I pick and
people who abuse power they bother me on a level
that's very deep, and I take it very personally. And
we all have our acts to grind, we all have
whatever's driving us to be who and what we are.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
But so.

Speaker 2 (01:47):
It's been an exhausting week but I got to say
to so many people in Texas and now these primaries
are coming to your state, Arkansas, North Carolina, had there
check and see when your primary is in your state,
because they're all different, and they go all the way through.
I think August fifteenth, I looked earlier this we I
think August fifteenth is the last round, and then those

(02:09):
will be the candidates who run against the Democrats in November.
This is really, really, really important work. And I got
to say, I get why for a lot of people,
there's a frustration of I don't want to keep voting,
or worse, when you do vote and the people you

(02:30):
elect let you down, then there is a very natural,
very natural, understandable belief that, well, what the hell does
it matter? Anyway, they're all the same, They're not all
the same. They may be varying degrees of evil, but

(02:52):
they're not all the same, and it does matter. So
I will be talking less about primaries in the coming
months because Texas is my passion. There's some racist that
I'm interested in in different states, including Louisiana, that I'll
be discussing in the coming days, but probably a little

(03:16):
less politics, and partly because November. We're going to have
to fire up our base in September and October to
win the November midterms. And that's going to be tough.
It's hard to win midterms. Historically, the party out of
power beats the party in power in the midterms. You
just hope to reduce the bleeding. So we got to

(03:38):
get our folks out to vote come November. And so
if I'm just pounding that drum all year long, then
you stop taking me seriously if you ever did when
I tell you it's important at election time to vote.
So I don't talk politics just for the sake of

(03:59):
politics all day every day, just because that is you know,
we're on a a news talk station. So that's a
little bit of a programming note. What what Why are
we not gonna talk about Christi Norman because oh, you
don't want to talk about Christie Well, I wasn't going

(04:20):
to talk about Christopher Nolan.

Speaker 1 (04:21):
Why'd you bring it? Well, of course she got fired.
Everybody knows that already.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
Well you didn't mean less not talking about you, just
saying that she had to be fired. I mean, look,
here's here's the deal. She got, she got over her skis,
she she's been a mess, and she she brought shame
and embarrassment on on the White House and on this
administration and on the agenda. And nobody is too big

(04:52):
too Yeah, did we not already discuss that?

Speaker 1 (04:55):
I mean, Christy knew him had to go.

Speaker 2 (04:57):
I think everybody, you don't just stay loyal to some
because you stayed loyal to them on our side if
it hurts the cause, we're fighting for something bigger.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
I don't need to introduce myself.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
My name is Mitch Michael Berry.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
Genius talking about liberal terrorism. These people are angry and
unhinged and dangerous. A woman arrested in Boise, Idaho, last
place you'd expect to see this, for stealing an ambulance
then using it to carry out an arson terror attack
on a building that housed the Department of Homeland Security,

(05:34):
and of course ice. Our social media accounts, upon review,
are littered with crazy liberal LGBT posts.

Speaker 1 (05:45):
These people are freaks and they're dangerous.

Speaker 2 (05:49):
This is the police chief of Meridian, Ohio.

Speaker 1 (05:53):
Does most of you know?

Speaker 4 (05:54):
Late Wednesday, February eighteenth, twenty twenty six, Kenyon County medics
had an ambulance stolen from Saint Luke's Meridian. The suspect
took that ambulance and drove it into the Portico North
building where they had also staged kansa gasoline and poured

(06:15):
gasoline inside of the ambulance as well as on the
floor of outside of the ambulance, and what we believe
was an attempt to burn the building. Well, today, I'm
glad to announce that we have made an arrest of
Sarah Elizabeth George, a forty three year old female of Boise, Idaho.
The Meridian Police Department, along with the local Federal Bureau

(06:39):
of Investigation the local Bureau of Tobacco, Alcohol, Tobacco and
Firearms served in a restaurant on George and executed a
search warrant at George's residence earlier this evening. Agents and
detectives are currently processing the scene at the residents now
collecting evidence. These investigators standing here are responsible for this

(07:03):
timely arrest, and the first thing I would like to
point out is the men and women of the Meridian
Police Department and the men and women of Alcohol, Tobacco
and Firearms in the FBI did an amazing job over
the last five days, working long hours, working diligently to

(07:24):
positively identify miss George and bring her into custody.

Speaker 1 (07:29):
Really, it was.

Speaker 4 (07:29):
Good old fashioned police work that got us to where
we were at tonight. These investigators literally went door to
door looking for possible camera footage, possible witnesses, and other
information and evidence stemming from I eighty four to Fairview,
from Locust Grove to Cloverdale.

Speaker 2 (07:51):
We've been talking about Mogadishu, Minnesota and all the problems there.
I don't know if we have covered I know we've
meant to. But a state prison guard was arrested in Mogadishu, Minnesota,
arrested by Ice because he's an illegal alien from Liberia,

(08:15):
and they say that he was masquerading as a US citizen,
so pretending to be a US citizen. He was also
a wall absent without leave from the State National Guard,
you know, the one Tim Waltz was in. This guy

(08:38):
was an illegal alien, a wall from the National Guard,
working as a state prison guard. Do you realize how deep,
how embedded, like a tick, the evil is in places
like Mogodieshu, Minnesota.

Speaker 5 (08:55):
Former Minnesota corrections officers facing deportation and criminal charge. He
was accused of more than a decade of citizenship deception.
Homeland Security officials say they arrested Morris Brown in Minneapolis
on January fifteenth. They say the Liberian national over a
State of student.

Speaker 6 (09:13):
Visa and has lied about being a US citizen since
twenty fifteen. He's now at an immigration facility in El Paso.
Federal officials say they they found out he was working
as a corrections officer during Operation Twinshield last September. Minnesota
corrections leaders are responding to questions about how that could happen,
saying they cooperated with the investigation and followed federal document

(09:36):
verification requirements while hiring Brown. He worked for them from
May of twenty twenty three until last October.

Speaker 1 (09:44):
The statement went on to say.

Speaker 6 (09:45):
If these federal allegations are accurate, this individual engaged in
sophisticated efforts to misrepresent their identity, extending well beyond Minnesota.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
I've said it again and again and again and again.
Burn it all, go down and start over all the
non government organizations, all of the NGOs, all of the welfare,
every bit of it. Cut it down to zero. But Michael,

(10:15):
people need that money, so do the people you took
it from. If you reduced if you eliminated all the
social services. Do you know how many people that are
currently sucking up money from social services are actually a
family member of a person that found a way to

(10:37):
get paid to supposedly provide help for them. Do you
know how many people are getting paid to supposedly house
refugees and teach children's was the Learing Center all over again?
Or provide hospice? What if you eliminated all of that?

Speaker 1 (10:55):
But Michael, people would die?

Speaker 2 (10:57):
What kind of broken society are we that people wouldn't
take care of the elderly, people wouldn't take care of
the sick. The churches that are run tax free, why
wouldn't they step in. The more government supposedly helps these people,
the more lucrative it becomes, and the more people say

(11:19):
I need help too. Many of these homeless NGOs, these
NGOs supposedly deal with homelessness, they're actually get rich schemes,
get rich quick schemes. The former chief executive of a
San Francisco homeless services provider has been arrested for misappropriating

(11:43):
at least one point two million dollars in public funds.

Speaker 1 (11:48):
Prosecutors say she used the.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
Money to bankroll a luxury lifestyle because that's what people
like this do.

Speaker 1 (11:57):
The story from NBC Bay Area.

Speaker 7 (12:00):
The longtime head of a San Francisco nonprofit is facing
nine charges of embezzlement related charges. Here, she's accused of
misappropriating more than two and a half million dollars in
public funds. You may remember Gwendolen Westbrook from our story
that our investigative unit exposed during the pandemic. She ran
a city sponsored trailer encampment at Hunter's Point designed to

(12:22):
get homeless people off the streets and limit the exposure
and spread of the virus. Westbrook was CEO of Unity
Council of Human Services. The district attorney in the city
claims investigators found more than a million dollars in missing
funds in Westbrook's bank accounts.

Speaker 1 (12:39):
They say the rest is still unaccounted for.

Speaker 8 (12:43):
When you talk about millions of dollars being lost to
that effort, that are taxpayer dollars while every day we
sit and deal with people who are still struggling on
our streets.

Speaker 7 (12:55):
Westbrook did not respond to a request for our comment today.

Speaker 2 (13:00):
But tell them my voicemails, I don't think we got
to from one of them was last week and Ed
said he had figured out the Nancy Guthrie case and
he was trying to help him. Ramon, He was trying
to give him help on a Nancy Guthrie case, but
the FBI left him on home for three hours.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
He could have solved the case last week.

Speaker 3 (13:26):
Yeah, the guy after Nancy Guthrie.

Speaker 1 (13:29):
The flowers in the.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
Oh god, this is Ed. It's Friday the thirteenth, three
times this year, yeah, three times this year. But anyway,
the guy walks bow legging. But the flowers, you don't.
Flowers are for dead people and hospitals. They didn't never
planned on having her. You can't ransom. Of course she

(13:54):
was dead with the blood. They had a body bag
in the backpack. The guy walks bow legged means he's
a rancher, he's a courseman or something. He looks like he's.

Speaker 1 (14:04):
About fifty years old.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
But anyway, I call the FBI and they put me
on hold for about three hours.

Speaker 9 (14:08):
So I said, to hell with him. They don't need
my help anyway. You know, we can do it without him.

Speaker 1 (14:14):
So yeah, what does that mean? What is we can
do it without him? What are we doing? Ramon? Help me?
Can you rewind that last line.

Speaker 2 (14:27):
I was going to give the information to the FBI
to apprehend the guy, but they put me on hold
and kept me there for a while, so.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
I hung up. And we can do it without him.
What what are you doing without him?

Speaker 9 (14:43):
Without him? So yeah, I said, for hell with him.
They don't need my help anyway. You know, we can
do it without him.

Speaker 1 (14:52):
So yeah, very very cryptic, very cryptic.

Speaker 2 (14:58):
Ramon. Lady named Chris called in, and you know, in
a world of cynical, sour.

Speaker 1 (15:06):
People, she's just happy and I like that.

Speaker 10 (15:10):
Hi, my name is Chris, and currently I am driving
and I what a beautiful evening. It's five forty eight
in the evening, beautiful beautiful day, and I just got
a Dairy Queen Blizzard with reach his peanut buttercups and

(15:30):
Heath bar. It is my favorite of all, love it.
I am so happy and I feel so blessed right
now with just the wonderful simple things in life. But
I'm grateful to be listening to Michael Berry at five
forty eight in the evening on a Friday, the end
of the week. God blessed this beautiful week, and I'm

(15:53):
looking forward to listening the rest of the radio program.
Got bust, everybody, and I look forward to the next time.
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
That's the kind of woman you marry, you know. I firmly,
steadfastly believe that you are as happy as you want
to be. You are exactly as happy as you want
to be. Now, when I say that, people will say,

(16:29):
that's easy for you to My cat died, all right,
So you're not happy because your cat died.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
Yes, my cat died when three weeks ago.

Speaker 3 (16:44):
All right?

Speaker 1 (16:45):
At what point do you decide you're going to be happy?
I don't know. God had that cat for nine years.

Speaker 2 (16:51):
Okay, let me tell you a story. My wife's mother
died when my my wife wasn't even ten years old,
she was nine, almost him. This was in India, and
her father was pretty high up in the Air Force,
and he worked a lot, and they had to be

(17:14):
reposted every year and a half to two years. So
you tend to be very close to your clan, your tribe,
your immediate nuclear family. And her mother had died and
her mother was her hero. Her mother was a doctor
and surprised and her mother dying was hard on her,

(17:36):
but her father said, we get through this, we move on.
That's who we are in this family. So she was
very close to her father, and I called him paw,
which is what she calls him, like my own father.
She called my parents mom and dad, which I called them.
It was important to me that our in laws not

(17:57):
be a basis of strife in our marriage. So I
got pretty close to her dad as well, and I
realized how much alike we are. Way we thought, the
way we approached the world, way we treated people, our humor.
He taught me to love pg. Woodhouse books. He taught

(18:19):
me to enjoy the poetry of Omar k i Am.
He taught me to enjoy the writings of Tennyson. He
was a great lover of literature. And my wife came
in and woke me up at two thirty in the morning.
I'm dead asleep, and she said Pod died. And I

(18:40):
don't even know what's happened. And she said Pod died,
and she just got in a call. He was in India,
of course, and he was on his way to the bank,
which was also a repository of documents, and he had
some like a pension document he had to fill out
and return and he died in the backseat of the
car and fortunately had not suffered.

Speaker 1 (19:04):
It was it was. It was devastating. He had not
been ill. We didn't expect that, and so my wife.
So we stayed up and talked for a while.

Speaker 2 (19:15):
Leslie got up to the morning show and that morning
on the morning show, we were having a dinner party.
There were eight people coming over for dinner that night,
and I said, hey, i'll handle canceling tonight. She said,
there's no reason to cancel. And she said, please don't

(19:38):
mention it. I don't want to talk about it. Let's
we'll talk in our own time. There's no reason to
cancel a dinner party.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
So we didn't.

Speaker 2 (19:49):
And about a year later, it came up in conversation
that my wife has the most positive disposition, and I said, well,
you want to know how positive disposition is. Remember we
had dinner with this doctor of mine and my wife's
dad had just died a matter of hours before that
dinner party.

Speaker 1 (20:09):
Why didn't you tell us?

Speaker 2 (20:10):
Because she didn't want to spend because it would have
turned the direction of the evening. And there are people
who would say, oh, well, you needed to cry, and
you needed to I think a lot of people choose
to be unhappy. I think a lot of people choose
to be a victim. I think therapy is a bigger

(20:35):
problem for this country than a solution, the idea that
you need to emote constantly. Most therapists are people in
need of therapy, who went through a lot of therapy,
who now want to do that with other people. They
want to wallow in the sadness. I don't think that's healthy.

(20:58):
They want to tell you that not emoting constantly is unhealthy. Well,
you know what else is unhealthy? Emoting all the time,
the constant over the top. It's a whole nation of
people emoting all the time everywhere, everyone competing as to

(21:20):
who's a bigger victim, whose dog died more recently, who
was diddled more often as a kid.

Speaker 1 (21:28):
It's too much. If you want to be happy and
be like Chris, have a blizzard.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
On the drive home and listen to Michael Berryshaw there
you go. Choose to be happy.

Speaker 11 (21:39):
True.

Speaker 1 (21:40):
I will die for the country.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
I will die for discs to Michael Berry, Joe the
big honor to be living in the United States, President
Joe Biden, and Senator Mitch McConnell.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
You got brinding me. President, You've been a real friend.
You've got friend in me.

Speaker 2 (22:01):
You've been a trusted partner, and it's been an honor
to serve with you.

Speaker 6 (22:05):
You want to see whether or not a Republican a
Democrat really like one, and I, well, I'm here to
tell you we do.

Speaker 11 (22:12):
You just remember what you old passing, what you gotta
prind in me.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
Yet you've got.

Speaker 10 (22:21):
Brend in me.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
I think you're all here today because you want to
see whether or not a Republican and a Democrat.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
Really like each other. You got a friend in me.
I'm here to tell you we do. You got a
brand in me. It was true then and it's true today.
You got the trouble and I got him too. Getendity?

Speaker 10 (22:42):
Would you do for you?

Speaker 1 (22:45):
We speak to doubt? See it because you've.

Speaker 2 (22:49):
Got a brid headline in the Washington Post, Mitch McConnell
is taking a beating in the race to replace him.
The Senate primary to replace eighty three year old Mitch
McConnell shows how profoundly the GOP base in his home
state has soured on one of the most powerful and

(23:09):
significant political figures in Kentucky history.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
So I want to be clear.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
So January Ferry in March, April May, so May nineteenth.
I believe it's five nineteen as the notes I took
on Kentucky's primary, and Mitch McConnell is is not on
the ballot, and yet he's being talked about. Republicans are
running against him because he is so out of touch

(23:45):
with primary voter. We've got to stop doing this, folks.
We've got to stop electing as Republicans people who have
all the money and run all the ads and then
get there. It works so hard again, fool me once. Okay,
I got it. But just because somebody is running as

(24:07):
that their opponent is a bad guy doesn't mean you
have to buy it. This is a candidate's ad. I
wish you could see this. He throws a cardboard cutout
of Mitch McConnell in the trash. This was the most
powerful Republican in the country just a few years ago.
This is a candidate named Nate Morris in Kentucky.

Speaker 12 (24:29):
It's garbage day in Kentucky, and thanks to Mitch McConnell,
the things have gotten dirty that the Bluegrass state is
sick and tired of cleaning up career politicians messes. I'm
Nate Morris, a Trump america first Conservative, and I'm here
to take out the drive. I'm a ninth generation of
Kentucky and born to a single mom on food stamps,

(24:52):
raising a union household. I'm the product of Bluegrass grid.
I borrowed ten grand to start a business to create
one thousands a job, and took a public valued it
two billion dollars as one of the biggest trash companies
in America.

Speaker 1 (25:06):
So I know a little bit about garbage.

Speaker 12 (25:09):
And Mitch McConnell, he's trash trump in for over forty years.

Speaker 1 (25:13):
He's been dubbing on us.

Speaker 12 (25:18):
I am to see for millions of illegals, Rhino judges
and courtrooms across America, joining Democrats on gun control, billions
spent on Ukraine and other foreign wars, and trillions more
on Biden's massive spending bill, all while becoming one of
the richest senators in Washington. And now he's calling it
quits and thinks he can stick us with one of

(25:39):
his puppets instead.

Speaker 11 (25:40):
My mentor leader of Mitch mcconnald's I'm with him because
his legacy is.

Speaker 2 (25:46):
Big Senator Mitch McConnell, and it's been a great privilege
and honor to know him, and I'm proud to call
him a friend.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
I'm proud to call him a mentor. Bill betray President
Trump and sell us out.

Speaker 3 (25:58):
Not on my watch.

Speaker 12 (25:59):
We've let the garbage pole up in Washington, d C.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
For far too long.

Speaker 3 (26:04):
I'm running for.

Speaker 12 (26:04):
Senate to help President Trump clean up the mess. I'm
not a politician, and I've never run for office, and
I will never stop fighting for the place that made
the man I am today.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
I'm Nate Morris.

Speaker 12 (26:17):
What's adult career politicians and take out the trash in Washington.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
Recently, Bill Gates went back on everything he had said
before about Jeffrey Epstein.

Speaker 1 (26:29):
Remember, at one point he didn't know him.

Speaker 2 (26:31):
We then Melinda Gates in her divorce proceedings basically said
why she's divorcing him is he hangs out with Jeffrey
Epstein and we know what's going on there.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
So then he knew him, but he didn't really want
to have much to do with him. Okay, but he
never visited epstein Island. Well, now we know, yeah, there's
official record you did.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
So he admitted to that. Now he admitted to affairs
with Russian women. So now he's admitted to a few
things that he's always denied. There was a town hall
meeting with employees of the Gates Foundation, which is the
non profit that he is involved with, And that's a

(27:15):
whole complicated issue in and of itself right there. So
he says, yeah, I knew Epstein. Yeah, I visited his island. Yeah,
I had affairs with Russian women, but I didn't commit
any crimes. Well, you're almost there. You're getting closer and closer.

(27:38):
A plea bargain must be in the offing. The Epstein
files are everything they tell you. This isn't the only
case of where this is going on. Foreign governments, foreign agents,
our own CIA, big money people controlling our government, our media,
so much influence in this country, the world through sex

(28:02):
and blackmail, the oldest game in the book. There's a
photo that was released, I think it was last week
from the Epstein files of Stephen Hawkings sitting around a
pool with two women in skimpy bikinis looking good, not
him them, and he looks very happy. I mean, he's

(28:24):
happy as Stephen Hawking can look. He died back in
twenty eighteen, but through the miracle of science, he has
released a statement denying any wrongdoing.

Speaker 1 (28:35):
From beyond the grave.

Speaker 11 (28:37):
Greetings, I am stealen hawking, or at least a highly
dramatized theatrically. I have been informed that the Internet enjoys
calling a particular Vinzene adjacent gathering involving Jeffrey Epstein, a
swimming pool, and two women wearing what physicists as mentally

(28:58):
obstructive textiles. I cracked myself. Allow me to clarify. Yes,
I was present near a body chlorinated water. Yes, there
were humans in swim where No, I did not participate
in the various improprieties. I was in bank contemplating cosmological

(29:19):
inflation while others were inflating full toys. My interests that
afternoon were singular black holes, quantum gravity, and whether the universe.

Speaker 1 (29:30):
Is finite yet unbounded.

Speaker 11 (29:32):
At no point did I abandon the standard model for
a scandal model.

Speaker 3 (29:38):
The women in question were.

Speaker 11 (29:40):
Discussing marine buoyancy. I was discussing space time curventure. If
one must beside a pool, one may as well analyze
the thermodynamic implications of some light on the event horizon
of a reflective service. I captain gorgically deny any mis kinda.

(30:00):
My greatest temptation that day was not mortal, but mathematical.
Someone had miscalculated pie on a cocktail netkin. History made
attempt to reduce every photograph to insinuation, but I assure
you my equation was the only thing expanding the universe

(30:22):
remains serious.

Speaker 1 (30:25):
That afternoon was not oh yeah, it's it's my channel.
