Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
The Michael Very Show is on the air.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
God lives cooking into Mico.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
We gotta feeding me.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
I don't plan to shave, and it's you claim, but
I just gotta seem done all right, Will got meg.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Old Angry white liberal women have come to be a
dominant force in the Democrat Party. And they share certain
characteristics a lot of cats, a caring nature, uh, a
(00:49):
willingness for those who have children to sacrifice their children,
to sacrifice their children for the purpose of more attention.
And they're ideological insanity. Michael Malice is a Fox contributor
in podcast or he's been a guest on our show
over the years. He was on a podcast called Triggernometry,
(01:12):
and he makes this point I think quite well about
crazy liberal white women.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
I think people underestimate to what extent privileged, especially white women,
are willing to sacrifice their children for the altar of status.
For them, having a transkid is like winning the lottery, right,
and you laugh, but it's really the case. It's very disturbing.
They're the only ones bringing their kids to drag shows
because for these affluent white female liberals offers a man
(01:42):
in makeup is like the second Coming, and you know
they're showing dad or their husband or whoever, how enlightened
they are because this is what corpor media tells them.
So they can't wait to bring their kids and show
how with the program they are.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
So they are a menace.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
And this, in my opinion, is Munchausen's by proxy. You know,
their torture their kids for the sake of status and accolades.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
That's absolutely right, is absolutely right, And a lot of women,
i think, fall into this because they see the effectiveness or.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
They are affected by the effectiveness of political propaganda that
tells them that Republicans are mean, and women in particular,
their entire lives have been told that mean is bad.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
You must always be nice. You must not fight back,
you must not defend yourself, you must not shoot back.
You must be nice. We can just nice people to death.
But there comes a point where you have to wake
up and realize that there is evil in the world
and it must be destroyed, and that you have to
defend yourself or it only gets worse. You know, the
(02:51):
Democrats bad polling numbers right now because they took up
these bad issues, and a lot of it is liberal
white women. Led reminds me of an old joke from
Ronald Reagan, and his delivery is just golden.
Speaker 6 (03:07):
Did you hear the story about the kid who was
outside the Democratic fundraiser selling kittens.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
When the people came.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Out from the fundraiser, he was.
Speaker 6 (03:26):
Holding up the kittens and he was saying, buy a
Democrat kitten. Well, a couple of weeks later, the Republicans
held a fundraiser in the same place, and when they
came out, there was the same kid with the kittens,
and he said, by a Republican kitten. And one of
the members of the press seen him there two weeks before.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
He said, wait a minute, and you were.
Speaker 6 (03:45):
Selling these kittens the last time as Democrat kittens. How
come the Republican kittens now? Kid says, because now they
got their eyes open.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
We cut that audio too fast. The crowd, I mean
it was raucus. The response was absolutely raucus. They loved it.
They absolutely loved it. You talk about liberal white women,
These are the kind of people that watch the view,
not grudge watch, actually watch the view because they think, oh,
(04:17):
they're talking about policy. I want to stay up to date,
what's going on. Well, here is Tulsey Gabbard, who's a
real woman you can look up to, and she's calling
out the Hen Party hags at the view for calling
her a trader to her country. Just give us a listen.
Speaker 7 (04:32):
Some of you have accused me of being a trader
to my country, a Russian asset, a trojan horse, or
you haven't used a useful idiot. I think was the
tu that you used, which basically means that I'm naive
or or lack what's going on. I want to let
I want to let your viewers know exactly who I am.
(04:53):
All right, set the record straight. I am a patriot.
I love our country. I am a strong and an
intelligent woman of color, and I have dedicated almost my
entire adult life to protecting the safety, security, and the
freedom of all Americans in this country. It was the
attacks on nine Water.
Speaker 8 (05:15):
Well, I guess, I guess we were getting we're getting
a little bit far ahead of ourselves. But Franklin Graham
finds you refreshing, He doesn't find me refreshing. Richard Spencer,
the white nationalist leader.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Says he could vote for you. Joy.
Speaker 9 (05:29):
This is.
Speaker 8 (05:31):
The calls in at least ten times, why don't you go.
Speaker 7 (05:34):
On, christ why this is why I'm here, because you
and other people continue to spread these innuendos that have
nothing to do with who I am.
Speaker 8 (05:44):
Starting and then you shot back at her, boy, you
called her the Queen of warmond.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
You doubled down.
Speaker 7 (05:50):
Unfortunately, you double down on the baseless accusations that she
made that strikes at the core of who I am.
I'm a soldier because of the attacks on nine Elene.
I enlisted in the military to go after and defeat
and destroy the evil that visited us on that day.
I've served now for over sixteen years, deployed twice the
Middle East during the height of the war, where every
(06:11):
single day I saw firsthand the terribly high human cost.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Who hasn't dealt with a crazy white liberal woman. I'll
give you a great example. Here's girl power as they
call it, on full display in this next clip. It's
not new, we've played it before. It's a female air
traffic controller and she is so determined. I mean, she's
going to make her point and stand up for herself,
(06:39):
and she's making a complete idiot herself. And if you've
ever had a liberal white woman as a boss who's
like this. It's a living hell because they have what
they think is confidence, but it's not. And this is
how you destroy. This is how you crash planes. This
is how you lose wars. This is how little boys
get their wiener cut off. This is how bad things
(07:01):
happen in great nations. This right, Listen to this for
a short approach.
Speaker 9 (07:05):
If you're going to do a power off one eighty,
that's my point.
Speaker 10 (07:08):
Well, okay, I will remember that from now on.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
No problem.
Speaker 9 (07:11):
Yeah, when you ask for a short approach, I expect
you to turn your base to being the numbers.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
This will be a full stop for sixty five Charlie.
Speaker 10 (07:19):
And maybe we need to talk about that the more.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Because you're the first controller of fifteen years that's ever
said that.
Speaker 9 (07:25):
Well, I'm just you know, if you ask for a
short approach, a short approach is when you turn your
base and being the numbers. If I know you're a
student asking for a short approach, I know you're out
there practicing and you probably will extend. But if you're
doing something other than a short approach, don't ask for
a short approach.
Speaker 6 (07:45):
Well, I will definitely look up the definition of short
approach because I've never seen.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
Where it says you turn base of being the number.
Speaker 10 (07:51):
Because I don't see how you can.
Speaker 9 (07:52):
Possibly do that. Well, I googled it. Actually, I googled
short approach, and it's said to turn your base a
beam or before the numbers, and you will land probably
touch down around this field.
Speaker 11 (08:05):
Okay, well, then I apologize for requesting the wrong thing,
because everywhere else sure approached me power up one ady,
but that would.
Speaker 9 (08:13):
Not want to be there. Yeah, well, I mean, you know,
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (08:16):
Maybe because I looked at the airport Michael Barry glad
in the system lack of two modern day.
Speaker 9 (08:30):
You know.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
You got an email doing the break from our fellows.
I'm a Vietnam veteran. I'm not listening anymore. Your service
in Vietnam is appreciated, but I'm not sure how that's
relevant to where we're going. Let me see why he's
not listening anymore. He's not listening because I said that
(08:54):
if you get COVID or die of COVID after having
taking the vacts, then that is poetic justice. It's not
what I said. I said those who pushed the vacts,
that is Fauci and Biden. I do hope they get COVID.
(09:16):
I do hope it takes them down. You don't need
to tell me that's evil or devilish or not Christian.
I understand I have family members who died from taking
that shot. I feel pretty passionately about it. You're free
to have your opinion. You're free to forgive, forget, justify, judge,
But I'm not changing my position. My wife and kids
(09:38):
took that stupid thing. You think I want people to
die from that. But the bigger issue is not the
COVID shot. The bigger issue is this, As I wrote
to the guy, you misunderstood what I said. Here's what
I said, Here's what I intended. But if you say
you're not listening ever again because I said something with
(10:01):
which you disagree, I want to be as clear as
I possibly can. If I'm left with three people listening,
but there are three honest to goodness, truth seeking, honorable, honest,
open minded, thoughtful people, I consider that better. I don't
(10:22):
listen to other shows. But we've all heard it. We've
all heard the pandering, the jingoistic patriotism, the jingoistic manhood.
We've all heard it. If the only reason you listen
to our show is you agree one hundred percent with
(10:44):
what I say? Why are you listening honestly for an
affirmation of what you already believe? That feels weird. The
old line, if we agree on everything one of us
isn't necessary to me. The interesting parts are where we disagree,
(11:05):
why I disagree and show I'm not gonna listen. Look,
I know this sounds arrogant, but why not be honest?
You not listening is not enough to make a difference.
Our show is not sold on ratings. Our ratings are great.
Our show is sold on the basis that people who
(11:27):
sponsor the show spend a lot of money on it
because they know that our listener it's a qualitative not
a quantitative buy. They don't want everybody groupon didn't end.
Groupon didn't fall apart because nobody came to the restaurant.
Groupon fell apart because everybody came to the restaurant. It
(11:50):
was just all the wrong kind of people. Houston Restaurant
Week is not a bust because people don't come out
to eat at a restaurant that would normally be one
hundred dollars per person for a twenty dollars that goes
to charity. Houston Restaurant Week is a bust because you
find out that those people coming out there that you're
not gonna make any money on. They're not samplers that
(12:12):
you want to come back. They're the deal seekers. They
eat half their meal and send it back. They show
up drunk, They stand up and stagger through the aisles,
They argue with your staff, They humiliate your staff. They
don't tip, they spill things, They piss all over the
floor in the bathroom. The only thing worse than groupon
(12:35):
not or that Houston Restaurant Week or groupon not delivering
people to your restaurant is they delivered too many of
all the wrong kind. What makes our show special is
that companies partner with us because they get the kind
of people that you would seek out that special person.
(13:01):
How often is it during a transaction that you enjoy
the experience. How often is it that you are providing
air conditioning services or plumbing or roofing or whatever else,
and you feel the need when you're done to send
me an email because you just talked to the most
(13:23):
interesting guy ever. That's where our listener is. You passed
up nine houses to get there, and eight of those
nine you don't want to do that roof. You do
not want to have to argue. You do not want
to worry he's gonna sue you. You do not want to
know where he's going to threaten. You don't where you're
gonna call the cops. You don't know where he's going
to show up or not show up tomorrow. So if
(13:45):
you're that person, you got me fed up. You don't.
You don't get me. And that's okay. I say this
all the time. Not every marriage works. Hey, we're not
meant to be together. I'm not offering what you in
your wanting. What I am not offering what I am
(14:06):
offering you don't want, which is to have your opinions challenged.
I'm gonna say things on the air that you might
not agree with. I'm gonna say things that you might
agree with but don't realize it and can't give voice
to it. I'm gonna say things that are gonna upset
your wife or your mother, or your secretary or your boss.
(14:33):
Know that in advance. That shouldn't come as a surprise,
even though I haven't done it in a little while
because I've gone soft of late. I'm gonna do that,
and I'm gonna keep doing it, not to provoke, not
because I'm a shock jock, because I believe the truth
is more important than people's feelings. If you can't tell
(14:56):
the truth, you can't be honest. If you can't finned,
you can't be honest. That was the essence of Thomas
Payne's statements. A series of them being completely honest is
going to upset people. And if you respond by saying, well,
(15:16):
I'm going to not listen anymore, good, But I need
you to know I'm not listening. Okay, uh Ramo, can
you redo the role and not call out Bob tomorrow
so we don't have him as absent. We just we
already know he's he's moved school district. You're not with
(15:37):
us anymore.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
I grew up seeing and hearing about the horrors that
this kind of ideology can wreak upon a civilization.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Michael Ferry, the show.
Speaker 10 (15:52):
Sugary Q.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Church was really good today, wouldn't hold up girl.
Speaker 11 (15:57):
I'm trying to get this ninety seven cent figurette. No,
you're not supposed to say Church was good. You're supposed
to be like Beverly Bay and said.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
God is good.
Speaker 11 (16:10):
Do you remember when I was baptized, girl, you was
not exactly baptized.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
I remember it said correctly.
Speaker 11 (16:17):
That's the day we went to Park Down Mall and
you started jumping up and down in the fountains and
took off your brazira and then the police had to
come in there and tage your ass until you fell out.
Speaker 9 (16:30):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
And that's when you start speaking in tongues. Okay, I
don't remember that. Well, of course you don't. You blackout.
Drink up, girl.
Speaker 11 (16:39):
I took Watusa the church today. Something in the ear
it is called the cowboy church. Y'all heard of this here.
Some white lady invited us out. I really needed to
stop at the dollar stove on the way home, so
I just said, yes, honey, I go church.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Y'all it was a cowboy chair.
Speaker 11 (16:56):
Oh maybe it's some nervous I was afraid I had
accident and.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Went to a kuklu claim meeting. Girl. I'm gonna be honest.
Speaker 11 (17:04):
Everybody was very, very nice and polite and welcoming. There
was not one racial issue, one Christianity issue, one issue
about the way what Tuesday was dressed her quote unquote her.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Nobody raised a fuss about it.
Speaker 11 (17:22):
We was felt and welcomed, and I feel it like
it was a good thing because what the Cowboy Church.
I don't know y'all heard about this, but it's a
big thing in Earnest. People love to go there and
they I don't know what happened. It's rodeos and thing,
but it was hot.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Oh my god.
Speaker 11 (17:42):
I ain't going to no more outdoor churches until they
get to past Halloween. I ain't playing that because I
am very by nature the high registorian and people knows
this about me.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
It's some of my medical alert bracelet. But I bought
church was nice.
Speaker 11 (18:01):
It was nice hearing Michael Barry talk about that bank
the day.
Speaker 9 (18:05):
What is it?
Speaker 3 (18:06):
What that bank was called? Go ahead, old girl.
Speaker 11 (18:09):
That's the first time I ever heard you expository anything cer.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Yeah, the Counternational Bank.
Speaker 11 (18:15):
You know a lot of people in Houston don't know this,
but this man uh named doctor lincl right here from Urrage,
that's the street right over from my house. And uh
he designed the nentime Montrose neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Did y'all know that?
Speaker 11 (18:32):
I know Michael Barry, know that Michael Barry know everything
that ever was needed to be known about Urrage, not
what I'm supposed to do. Oh what s remain comfortable
to see this? Sit your ass down. Everything gonna be fine. Girl,
Michael Berry had forgot about the counternash the bank of
err Girl.
Speaker 12 (18:53):
Okay, okay, I downloaded the mass up app on my
phone imment because I needed space.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Houston Post Office employee, a mail carrier, arrested charged with
stealing credit cards to buy stuff at Academy stores throughout
the Houston area. Twenty six year old Cornelius Jermaine Davis.
We don't know the skin color. We just have his name.
(19:29):
Cornelius Germaine Davis, could be anything, was identified after officials
recognized his car during multiple curb side pickups at various stores.
The Webster Police Department officer, posing as an Academy employee,
brought Davis his order of stolen goods. Other officers were
(19:51):
reportedly on standby and arrested him. At the time of
his arrest, he was found with a fake driver's license.
US Postal Service rerecord Chris Show. Cornelius Jermaine Davis worked
as a carrier technician at the Astrodome station and had
worked for USPS since twenty eighteen. Detectives found evidence that
(20:12):
he also stole checks from the mail. What no not
check cereal? No no, no, these are these are some
people will still get in the mail. You're not old
enough to remember, but used to before. Uh before you
could pull out your phone and pay for things with
(20:34):
your phone. You know, I really do wonder if my
kids know that there's such a thing as a checkbook,
because they pay for things on Apple pay Before. If
you wanted to give me money because we went out
and I bought drinks and you said, I'll pay you back,
you would you would pull out this little booklet and
you would you would ride out. In the top right
(20:57):
you put the date, and at the top on the
top one you'd put the person's name, and then over
to the right to be a box, and you'd write
in the numbers, and then on the next line you
would spell it out. That would get people kind of
confused because they didn't really know how A lot of
people struggled with that line. That was a tough one.
(21:18):
How to do that? Oh man? And then in the
bottom right you would sign it, and then in the
bottom left you could put it what it was for,
but you would probably end up regretting that, so you
kind of you had any sense, you left the memo
line empty blade or you know, plausible deniability, and then
you would begin this process. This was the delicate dance off.
(21:40):
You would try to pull that check out from the booklet,
and they were supposed to have perforated it at the top,
but the way the booklet was set up. And then
you get that thing out and you'd hand it to
somebody and invariably it would get washed in their pants
or it would get lost. There was a lot of
people would owe you money, but they had no intention
(22:02):
of paying you. So they'd say, the checks in the mail,
and you go and you'd wait on the mail every day,
and probably some people had sent the check in the mail.
And there's the person waiting on the check in the mail,
and then here's old boy Cornelius Jermaine Davis. He was
stealing the check in the mail. Yep, So that happened, yep,
(22:24):
Cornelius Jermaine Davis, twenty six. No idea. They don't give
us any other any demographic information, just that he was
a postal carrier. You know, day in and day out,
you see the rot in this nation. Teachers that looked
like some sort of a freak show from a boy
(22:46):
George video. You know they've done their hair yellow and
pink and red and green all at once. They're a
boy that wants to be a girl, a girl that
wants to be a boy, and they're making videos of it.
They didn't make videos, we wouldn't even know what freaks
they are about how they're going to turn your kid
into some little monster. You've got the school system screwed up.
(23:08):
You've got postal carriers stealing stuff from you. You've got
the FBI terrorizing tax paying citizens, veterans that come home
in all the while, you've got turds.
Speaker 5 (23:22):
Run them up.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
You've got a culture run them up. This is the
culture of the Democrats that has like an invasive species,
has invaded the ecosystem and rotted any sense of decency
(23:43):
that made America great. This is it, and for his
best efforts, this is not an overnight solution. You've got
a lot of people embedded, particularly in government, because that's
where people like this end up as government. They end
up in government because they can get hired by their buddies,
(24:04):
and when they get there, they never get fired. I
bet you this guy's been stealing how long you think
this guy's been stealing good before? Neelis Jermaine David.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
Hello, everybody listen Nicki Gilley and you're listening to this
season Radio Michael Berry.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
On this day in nineteen sixty seven, Charlie Pride, the
former star of the Negro Leagues, the baseball player. Unfortunately
he gave up baseball to start singing. He became the
first black solo singer to perform at the Grand Old
Opry and of course Nashville, Tennessee. He was invited to
(24:49):
perform each time after the success of his hit Just
Between You and Me, which made it to number nine
on the Country Music Chart, written of course from on
by Jack Clement. Yes, yet another song I'm part of
(25:11):
the soundtrack of your Life written by Jack Clement. Still
a highlight of my rc C years in my life
to get to meet Charlie Pride, and I think that
was the most fun person we booked because we just
started calling him out on the air until finally his
(25:31):
manager got wind of it and called us up. You
can tell him to stop now we'll do a show.
I think it was in January. No, it was in December.
It's in December because it was what's soul boy's name?
It's a cosmic cowboys. Lastly, I needed first thing this morning.
(25:54):
Three names, Gary P. Nunn. It was December fifth, I think,
and we had Gary P. Nunn's birthday and so this
they called us in like June and said, all right,
all right, you can tell Michael to stop. It's your
one day. He's got to be in town for some
(26:15):
medical stuff and some different things, and you can have
December fifth and we'll work out the money. We did.
He was very reasonable on the money, and he said
December fifth, and it was Gary P. Nun's seventieth birthday.
And Gary P. Nunn had called me two months before
that and said, hey, I'm turning seventy in December, and
(26:37):
I want to do three concerts to commemorate it. And
that's John T. Floors and Billy Bob's and RCC. And
when he said that, I thought, this is weird. I
appreciate that, but we're not in that league. And he said, no,
(27:00):
that's the three places that are meaningful to me and
that's why I want to do it. So we did.
So I had to call him back, say Gary P,
here's the story I've been trying to get Charlie pride,
and the only day they would give us was December fifth,
and he said, Michael, I understand, don't worry.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
We'll do it.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Well, we'll do it, and we'll do another show in
the new year. I'll find somewhere else to do it.
I said, no, it's worse than that. I'm not calling
to cancel you. I'm calling to ask you if you
will open. It's your seventieth birthday party and I'm asking
you to open. This is an insult. But I said, look,
you got it, and he said stop stop open for Charlie. Yes,
(27:40):
that's an honor. I just want to meet him, and
he did and the whole thing was a hoot. And
remember we got the cake made of the armadilla holding
the lone star. Oh what a night. Von on the
black line, Von, you are up, sir?
Speaker 10 (27:55):
Hey? How you doing?
Speaker 8 (27:56):
Mike?
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Good calling from Bomart credition.
Speaker 10 (28:01):
Five okay, right, okay? Well, uh yeah, with Cornelia's he
should know better. You know, each particular mail is photographed
and then automatically trade, so you know, according to delivery sequence,
and about more than ninety five percent of the mail
(28:23):
you know, is done that way you know sequence and
uh and everything, and you know, each trade go to
a carrier, so they know exactly uh, you know, the
order of that mail and who's carrying it.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Yeah, but hold on, hold on easy judging, hold on Okay,
So so they know, but they don't have a GPS
on it, right. So so they know that that mail
through this place and went to this carrier, but they
don't know if the carrier put it in his pocket
or or put it in the in the box.
Speaker 10 (28:57):
Well, well, the thing is that he's possible because he
handled the mail. They don't know if he missed delivery
to the to the neighbor before or after the house.
But they know the secrets in order of the mail,
and if it happened more than one time, you know,
they can be assured that it's that. Yeah, especially if
(29:17):
it's credit cards or something like that. So it wasn't
hard for them. How long we write at thirty two
years I.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Was gonna say, why did you leave? Because nobody leaves.
Speaker 10 (29:31):
Oh yeah, Well there's a lot of people young people nowadays. Uh,
they leave and a lot of them go to the
plants and stuff. Well, another way they used to catch
carriers is that they used to write down the serial
number of the paper money and put it in the
envelope and have part of it kind of showing. And
you know, carry was still it that way. And sometimes
(29:54):
they would write the serial number and leave it on
the floor in the post office or in the GP
or something like that.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
You know, so that was happening a lot.
Speaker 10 (30:03):
God, No, that wasn't happening a lot. But you know
when it did happen, they you know, they would have
a way to discover the carrier.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
You know, how is different from when you when did
what years you retire.
Speaker 10 (30:21):
In twenty eighteen?
Speaker 2 (30:23):
How is it five years ago?
Speaker 10 (30:27):
Oh? Well, they didn't take pictures of the you know,
they do that, you know, and they you don't care.
I mean, customers can go online or in something and
see what they have coming in the mail. Uh, you know.
So they started that when I was kind of going
out maybe the last couple of years, you know, And uh,
(30:50):
well it was hard to getting on when I got
on in eighty six. You know, you have to take
a test and the memory report was pretty hard. But
nowadays there's always a sign up at the post office
around here trying to get Yeah, I used to tell
people all the time, you know, to go in and
(31:12):
try to get a job and stuff, because we needed help.
But just about every single person that I told had
something wrong with their record. Well they couldn't you know,
eat the drive US license, bad record or something was wrong.
And I don't think one of them came in, you know.
But yeah, there's something else. You know.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
A buddy of min Yeah, buddy mine has a has
a you know what's a company called Liquid Assets and
they deliver liquors to spects and and other liquor stores.
And so when he needs a driver and they go
to hire a driver, it's something like for every two
hundred applications they get, somebody has a clean record, they
(31:56):
can't even begin to talk to somebody because their insurance
to carry somebody, let's have a record. And you can't
find a mail between the ages of you know, eighteen
and forty five that has a clean record anymore. They've
all got dwuys, they've all got I mean, it's exactly
it is. It is rough. And everybody tells me this
(32:17):
when you're hiring for somebody to drive. The military has
you know, they've had to lower the standards. Hold on,
just second, bund
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
The Michael Very Show is on the air.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
God lives cooking into Mico.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
We gotta feeding me.
Speaker 1 (00:18):
I don't plan to shave, and it's you claim, but
I just gotta seem done all right, Will got meg.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Old Angry white liberal women have come to be a
dominant force in the Democrat Party. And they share certain
characteristics a lot of cats, a caring nature, uh, a
(00:49):
willingness for those who have children to sacrifice their children,
to sacrifice their children for the purpose of more attention.
And they're ideological insanity. Michael Malice is a Fox contributor
in podcast or he's been a guest on our show
over the years. He was on a podcast called Triggernometry,
(01:12):
and he makes this point I think quite well about
crazy liberal white women.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
I think people underestimate to what extent privileged, especially white women,
are willing to sacrifice their children for the altar of status.
For them, having a transkid is like winning the lottery, right,
and you laugh, but it's really the case. It's very disturbing.
They're the only ones bringing their kids to drag shows
because for these affluent white female liberals offers a man
(01:42):
in makeup is like the second Coming, and you know
they're showing dad or their husband or whoever, how enlightened
they are because this is what corpor media tells them.
So they can't wait to bring their kids and show
how with the program they are.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
So they are a menace.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
And this, in my opinion, is Munchausen's by proxy. You know,
their torture their kids for the sake of status and accolades.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
That's absolutely right, is absolutely right, And a lot of women,
i think, fall into this because they see the effectiveness or.
Speaker 5 (02:15):
They are affected by the effectiveness of political propaganda that
tells them that Republicans are mean, and women in particular,
their entire lives have been told that mean is bad.
Speaker 2 (02:29):
You must always be nice. You must not fight back,
you must not defend yourself, you must not shoot back.
You must be nice. We can just nice people to death.
But there comes a point where you have to wake
up and realize that there is evil in the world
and it must be destroyed, and that you have to
defend yourself or it only gets worse. You know, the
(02:51):
Democrats bad polling numbers right now because they took up
these bad issues, and a lot of it is liberal
white women. Led reminds me of an old joke from
Ronald Reagan, and his delivery is just golden.
Speaker 6 (03:07):
Did you hear the story about the kid who was
outside the Democratic fundraiser selling kittens.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
When the people came.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Out from the fundraiser, he was.
Speaker 6 (03:26):
Holding up the kittens and he was saying, buy a
Democrat kitten. Well, a couple of weeks later, the Republicans
held a fundraiser in the same place, and when they
came out, there was the same kid with the kittens,
and he said, by a Republican kitten. And one of
the members of the press seen him there two weeks before.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
He said, wait a minute, and you were.
Speaker 6 (03:45):
Selling these kittens the last time as Democrat kittens. How
come the Republican kittens now? Kid says, because now they
got their eyes open.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
We cut that audio too fast. The crowd, I mean
it was raucus. The response was absolutely raucus. They loved it.
They absolutely loved it. You talk about liberal white women,
These are the kind of people that watch the view,
not grudge watch, actually watch the view because they think, oh,
(04:17):
they're talking about policy. I want to stay up to date,
what's going on. Well, here is Tulsey Gabbard, who's a
real woman you can look up to, and she's calling
out the Hen Party hags at the view for calling
her a trader to her country. Just give us a listen.
Speaker 7 (04:32):
Some of you have accused me of being a trader
to my country, a Russian asset, a trojan horse, or
you haven't used a useful idiot. I think was the
tu that you used, which basically means that I'm naive
or or lack what's going on. I want to let
I want to let your viewers know exactly who I am.
(04:53):
All right, set the record straight. I am a patriot.
I love our country. I am a strong and an
intelligent woman of color, and I have dedicated almost my
entire adult life to protecting the safety, security, and the
freedom of all Americans in this country. It was the
attacks on nine Water.
Speaker 8 (05:15):
Well, I guess, I guess we were getting we're getting
a little bit far ahead of ourselves. But Franklin Graham
finds you refreshing, He doesn't find me refreshing. Richard Spencer,
the white nationalist leader.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Says he could vote for you. Joy.
Speaker 9 (05:29):
This is.
Speaker 8 (05:31):
The calls in at least ten times, why don't you go.
Speaker 7 (05:34):
On, christ why this is why I'm here, because you
and other people continue to spread these innuendos that have
nothing to do with who I am.
Speaker 8 (05:44):
Starting and then you shot back at her, boy, you
called her the Queen of warmond.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
You doubled down.
Speaker 7 (05:50):
Unfortunately, you double down on the baseless accusations that she
made that strikes at the core of who I am.
I'm a soldier because of the attacks on nine Elene.
I enlisted in the military to go after and defeat
and destroy the evil that visited us on that day.
I've served now for over sixteen years, deployed twice the
Middle East during the height of the war, where every
(06:11):
single day I saw firsthand the terribly high human cost.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
Who hasn't dealt with a crazy white liberal woman. I'll
give you a great example. Here's girl power as they
call it, on full display in this next clip. It's
not new, we've played it before. It's a female air
traffic controller and she is so determined. I mean, she's
going to make her point and stand up for herself,
(06:39):
and she's making a complete idiot herself. And if you've
ever had a liberal white woman as a boss who's
like this. It's a living hell because they have what
they think is confidence, but it's not. And this is
how you destroy. This is how you crash planes. This
is how you lose wars. This is how little boys
get their wiener cut off. This is how bad things
(07:01):
happen in great nations. This right, Listen to this for
a short approach.
Speaker 9 (07:05):
If you're going to do a power off one eighty,
that's my point.
Speaker 10 (07:08):
Well, okay, I will remember that from now on.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
No problem.
Speaker 9 (07:11):
Yeah, when you ask for a short approach, I expect
you to turn your base to being the numbers.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
This will be a full stop for sixty five Charlie.
Speaker 10 (07:19):
And maybe we need to talk about that the more.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Because you're the first controller of fifteen years that's ever
said that.
Speaker 9 (07:25):
Well, I'm just you know, if you ask for a
short approach, a short approach is when you turn your
base and being the numbers. If I know you're a
student asking for a short approach, I know you're out
there practicing and you probably will extend. But if you're
doing something other than a short approach, don't ask for
a short approach.
Speaker 6 (07:45):
Well, I will definitely look up the definition of short
approach because I've never seen.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
Where it says you turn base of being the number.
Speaker 10 (07:51):
Because I don't see how you can.
Speaker 9 (07:52):
Possibly do that. Well, I googled it. Actually, I googled
short approach, and it's said to turn your base a
beam or before the numbers, and you will land probably
touch down around this field.
Speaker 11 (08:05):
Okay, well, then I apologize for requesting the wrong thing,
because everywhere else sure approached me power up one ady,
but that would.
Speaker 9 (08:13):
Not want to be there. Yeah, well, I mean, you know,
I don't know.
Speaker 6 (08:16):
Maybe because I looked at the airport Michael Barry glad
in the system lack of two modern day.
Speaker 9 (08:30):
You know.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
You got an email doing the break from our fellows.
I'm a Vietnam veteran. I'm not listening anymore. Your service
in Vietnam is appreciated, but I'm not sure how that's
relevant to where we're going. Let me see why he's
not listening anymore. He's not listening because I said that
(08:54):
if you get COVID or die of COVID after having
taking the vacts, then that is poetic justice. It's not
what I said. I said those who pushed the vacts,
that is Fauci and Biden. I do hope they get COVID.
(09:16):
I do hope it takes them down. You don't need
to tell me that's evil or devilish or not Christian.
I understand I have family members who died from taking
that shot. I feel pretty passionately about it. You're free
to have your opinion. You're free to forgive, forget, justify, judge,
But I'm not changing my position. My wife and kids
(09:38):
took that stupid thing. You think I want people to
die from that. But the bigger issue is not the
COVID shot. The bigger issue is this, As I wrote
to the guy, you misunderstood what I said. Here's what
I said, Here's what I intended. But if you say
you're not listening ever again because I said something with
(10:01):
which you disagree, I want to be as clear as
I possibly can. If I'm left with three people listening,
but there are three honest to goodness, truth seeking, honorable, honest,
open minded, thoughtful people, I consider that better. I don't
(10:22):
listen to other shows. But we've all heard it. We've
all heard the pandering, the jingoistic patriotism, the jingoistic manhood.
We've all heard it. If the only reason you listen
to our show is you agree one hundred percent with
(10:44):
what I say? Why are you listening honestly for an
affirmation of what you already believe? That feels weird. The
old line, if we agree on everything one of us
isn't necessary to me. The interesting parts are where we disagree,
(11:05):
why I disagree and show I'm not gonna listen. Look,
I know this sounds arrogant, but why not be honest?
You not listening is not enough to make a difference.
Our show is not sold on ratings. Our ratings are great.
Our show is sold on the basis that people who
(11:27):
sponsor the show spend a lot of money on it
because they know that our listener it's a qualitative not
a quantitative buy. They don't want everybody groupon didn't end.
Groupon didn't fall apart because nobody came to the restaurant.
Groupon fell apart because everybody came to the restaurant. It
(11:50):
was just all the wrong kind of people. Houston Restaurant
Week is not a bust because people don't come out
to eat at a restaurant that would normally be one
hundred dollars per person for a twenty dollars that goes
to charity. Houston Restaurant Week is a bust because you
find out that those people coming out there that you're
not gonna make any money on. They're not samplers that
(12:12):
you want to come back. They're the deal seekers. They
eat half their meal and send it back. They show
up drunk, They stand up and stagger through the aisles,
They argue with your staff, They humiliate your staff. They
don't tip, they spill things, They piss all over the
floor in the bathroom. The only thing worse than groupon
(12:35):
not or that Houston Restaurant Week or groupon not delivering
people to your restaurant is they delivered too many of
all the wrong kind. What makes our show special is
that companies partner with us because they get the kind
of people that you would seek out that special person.
(13:01):
How often is it during a transaction that you enjoy
the experience. How often is it that you are providing
air conditioning services or plumbing or roofing or whatever else,
and you feel the need when you're done to send
me an email because you just talked to the most
(13:23):
interesting guy ever. That's where our listener is. You passed
up nine houses to get there, and eight of those
nine you don't want to do that roof. You do
not want to have to argue. You do not want
to worry he's gonna sue you. You do not want to
know where he's going to threaten. You don't where you're
gonna call the cops. You don't know where he's going
to show up or not show up tomorrow. So if
(13:45):
you're that person, you got me fed up. You don't.
You don't get me. And that's okay. I say this
all the time. Not every marriage works. Hey, we're not
meant to be together. I'm not offering what you in
your wanting. What I am not offering what I am
(14:06):
offering you don't want, which is to have your opinions challenged.
I'm gonna say things on the air that you might
not agree with. I'm gonna say things that you might
agree with but don't realize it and can't give voice
to it. I'm gonna say things that are gonna upset
your wife or your mother, or your secretary or your boss.
(14:33):
Know that in advance. That shouldn't come as a surprise,
even though I haven't done it in a little while
because I've gone soft of late. I'm gonna do that,
and I'm gonna keep doing it, not to provoke, not
because I'm a shock jock, because I believe the truth
is more important than people's feelings. If you can't tell
(14:56):
the truth, you can't be honest. If you can't finned,
you can't be honest. That was the essence of Thomas
Payne's statements. A series of them being completely honest is
going to upset people. And if you respond by saying, well,
(15:16):
I'm going to not listen anymore, good, But I need
you to know I'm not listening. Okay, uh Ramo, can
you redo the role and not call out Bob tomorrow
so we don't have him as absent. We just we
already know he's he's moved school district. You're not with
(15:37):
us anymore.
Speaker 5 (15:38):
I grew up seeing and hearing about the horrors that
this kind of ideology can wreak upon a civilization.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Michael Ferry, the show.
Speaker 10 (15:52):
Sugary Q.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Church was really good today, wouldn't hold up girl.
Speaker 11 (15:57):
I'm trying to get this ninety seven cent figurette. No,
you're not supposed to say Church was good. You're supposed
to be like Beverly Bay and said.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
God is good.
Speaker 11 (16:10):
Do you remember when I was baptized, girl, you was
not exactly baptized.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
I remember it said correctly.
Speaker 11 (16:17):
That's the day we went to Park Down Mall and
you started jumping up and down in the fountains and
took off your brazira and then the police had to
come in there and tage your ass until you fell out.
Speaker 9 (16:30):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
And that's when you start speaking in tongues. Okay, I
don't remember that. Well, of course you don't. You blackout.
Drink up, girl.
Speaker 11 (16:39):
I took Watusa the church today. Something in the ear
it is called the cowboy church. Y'all heard of this here.
Some white lady invited us out. I really needed to
stop at the dollar stove on the way home, so
I just said, yes, honey, I go church.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Y'all it was a cowboy chair.
Speaker 11 (16:56):
Oh maybe it's some nervous I was afraid I had
accident and.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
Went to a kuklu claim meeting. Girl. I'm gonna be honest.
Speaker 11 (17:04):
Everybody was very, very nice and polite and welcoming. There
was not one racial issue, one Christianity issue, one issue
about the way what Tuesday was dressed her quote unquote her.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Nobody raised a fuss about it.
Speaker 11 (17:22):
We was felt and welcomed, and I feel it like
it was a good thing because what the Cowboy Church.
I don't know y'all heard about this, but it's a
big thing in Earnest. People love to go there and
they I don't know what happened. It's rodeos and thing,
but it was hot.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Oh my god.
Speaker 11 (17:42):
I ain't going to no more outdoor churches until they
get to past Halloween. I ain't playing that because I
am very by nature the high registorian and people knows
this about me.
Speaker 3 (17:57):
It's some of my medical alert bracelet. But I bought
church was nice.
Speaker 11 (18:01):
It was nice hearing Michael Barry talk about that bank
the day.
Speaker 9 (18:05):
What is it?
Speaker 3 (18:06):
What that bank was called? Go ahead, old girl.
Speaker 11 (18:09):
That's the first time I ever heard you expository anything cer.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
Yeah, the Counternational Bank.
Speaker 11 (18:15):
You know a lot of people in Houston don't know this,
but this man uh named doctor lincl right here from Urrage,
that's the street right over from my house. And uh
he designed the nentime Montrose neighborhood.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Did y'all know that?
Speaker 11 (18:32):
I know Michael Barry, know that Michael Barry know everything
that ever was needed to be known about Urrage, not
what I'm supposed to do. Oh what s remain comfortable
to see this? Sit your ass down. Everything gonna be fine. Girl,
Michael Berry had forgot about the counternash the bank of
err Girl.
Speaker 12 (18:53):
Okay, okay, I downloaded the mass up app on my
phone imment because I needed space.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Houston Post Office employee, a mail carrier, arrested charged with
stealing credit cards to buy stuff at Academy stores throughout
the Houston area. Twenty six year old Cornelius Jermaine Davis.
We don't know the skin color. We just have his name.
(19:29):
Cornelius Germaine Davis, could be anything, was identified after officials
recognized his car during multiple curb side pickups at various stores.
The Webster Police Department officer, posing as an Academy employee,
brought Davis his order of stolen goods. Other officers were
(19:51):
reportedly on standby and arrested him. At the time of
his arrest, he was found with a fake driver's license.
US Postal Service rerecord Chris Show. Cornelius Jermaine Davis worked
as a carrier technician at the Astrodome station and had
worked for USPS since twenty eighteen. Detectives found evidence that
(20:12):
he also stole checks from the mail. What no not
check cereal? No no, no, these are these are some
people will still get in the mail. You're not old
enough to remember, but used to before. Uh before you
could pull out your phone and pay for things with
(20:34):
your phone. You know, I really do wonder if my
kids know that there's such a thing as a checkbook,
because they pay for things on Apple pay Before. If
you wanted to give me money because we went out
and I bought drinks and you said, I'll pay you back,
you would you would pull out this little booklet and
you would you would ride out. In the top right
(20:57):
you put the date, and at the top on the
top one you'd put the person's name, and then over
to the right to be a box, and you'd write
in the numbers, and then on the next line you
would spell it out. That would get people kind of
confused because they didn't really know how A lot of
people struggled with that line. That was a tough one.
(21:18):
How to do that? Oh man? And then in the
bottom right you would sign it, and then in the
bottom left you could put it what it was for,
but you would probably end up regretting that, so you
kind of you had any sense, you left the memo
line empty blade or you know, plausible deniability, and then
you would begin this process. This was the delicate dance off.
(21:40):
You would try to pull that check out from the booklet,
and they were supposed to have perforated it at the top,
but the way the booklet was set up. And then
you get that thing out and you'd hand it to
somebody and invariably it would get washed in their pants
or it would get lost. There was a lot of
people would owe you money, but they had no intention
(22:02):
of paying you. So they'd say, the checks in the mail,
and you go and you'd wait on the mail every day,
and probably some people had sent the check in the mail.
And there's the person waiting on the check in the mail,
and then here's old boy Cornelius Jermaine Davis. He was
stealing the check in the mail. Yep, So that happened, yep,
(22:24):
Cornelius Jermaine Davis, twenty six. No idea. They don't give
us any other any demographic information, just that he was
a postal carrier. You know, day in and day out,
you see the rot in this nation. Teachers that looked
like some sort of a freak show from a boy
(22:46):
George video. You know they've done their hair yellow and
pink and red and green all at once. They're a
boy that wants to be a girl, a girl that
wants to be a boy, and they're making videos of it.
They didn't make videos, we wouldn't even know what freaks
they are about how they're going to turn your kid
into some little monster. You've got the school system screwed up.
(23:08):
You've got postal carriers stealing stuff from you. You've got
the FBI terrorizing tax paying citizens, veterans that come home
in all the while, you've got turds.
Speaker 5 (23:22):
Run them up.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
You've got a culture run them up. This is the
culture of the Democrats that has like an invasive species,
has invaded the ecosystem and rotted any sense of decency
(23:43):
that made America great. This is it, and for his
best efforts, this is not an overnight solution. You've got
a lot of people embedded, particularly in government, because that's
where people like this end up as government. They end
up in government because they can get hired by their buddies,
(24:04):
and when they get there, they never get fired. I
bet you this guy's been stealing how long you think
this guy's been stealing good before? Neelis Jermaine David.
Speaker 6 (24:18):
Hello, everybody listen Nicki Gilley and you're listening to this
season Radio Michael Berry.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
On this day in nineteen sixty seven, Charlie Pride, the
former star of the Negro Leagues, the baseball player. Unfortunately
he gave up baseball to start singing. He became the
first black solo singer to perform at the Grand Old
Opry and of course Nashville, Tennessee. He was invited to
(24:49):
perform each time after the success of his hit Just
Between You and Me, which made it to number nine
on the Country Music Chart, written of course from on
by Jack Clement. Yes, yet another song I'm part of
(25:11):
the soundtrack of your Life written by Jack Clement. Still
a highlight of my rc C years in my life
to get to meet Charlie Pride, and I think that
was the most fun person we booked because we just
started calling him out on the air until finally his
(25:31):
manager got wind of it and called us up. You
can tell him to stop now we'll do a show.
I think it was in January. No, it was in December.
It's in December because it was what's soul boy's name?
It's a cosmic cowboys. Lastly, I needed first thing this morning.
(25:54):
Three names, Gary P. Nunn. It was December fifth, I think,
and we had Gary P. Nunn's birthday and so this
they called us in like June and said, all right,
all right, you can tell Michael to stop. It's your
one day. He's got to be in town for some
(26:15):
medical stuff and some different things, and you can have
December fifth and we'll work out the money. We did.
He was very reasonable on the money, and he said
December fifth, and it was Gary P. Nun's seventieth birthday.
And Gary P. Nunn had called me two months before
that and said, hey, I'm turning seventy in December, and
(26:37):
I want to do three concerts to commemorate it. And
that's John T. Floors and Billy Bob's and RCC. And
when he said that, I thought, this is weird. I
appreciate that, but we're not in that league. And he said, no,
(27:00):
that's the three places that are meaningful to me and
that's why I want to do it. So we did.
So I had to call him back, say Gary P,
here's the story I've been trying to get Charlie pride,
and the only day they would give us was December fifth,
and he said, Michael, I understand, don't worry.
Speaker 4 (27:16):
We'll do it.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Well, we'll do it, and we'll do another show in
the new year. I'll find somewhere else to do it.
I said, no, it's worse than that. I'm not calling
to cancel you. I'm calling to ask you if you
will open. It's your seventieth birthday party and I'm asking
you to open. This is an insult. But I said, look,
you got it, and he said stop stop open for Charlie. Yes,
(27:40):
that's an honor. I just want to meet him, and
he did and the whole thing was a hoot. And
remember we got the cake made of the armadilla holding
the lone star. Oh what a night. Von on the
black line, Von, you are up, sir?
Speaker 10 (27:55):
Hey? How you doing?
Speaker 8 (27:56):
Mike?
Speaker 2 (27:56):
Good calling from Bomart credition.
Speaker 10 (28:01):
Five okay, right, okay? Well, uh yeah, with Cornelia's he
should know better. You know, each particular mail is photographed
and then automatically trade, so you know, according to delivery sequence,
and about more than ninety five percent of the mail
(28:23):
you know, is done that way you know sequence and
uh and everything, and you know, each trade go to
a carrier, so they know exactly uh, you know, the
order of that mail and who's carrying it.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
Yeah, but hold on, hold on easy judging, hold on Okay,
So so they know, but they don't have a GPS
on it, right. So so they know that that mail
through this place and went to this carrier, but they
don't know if the carrier put it in his pocket
or or put it in the in the box.
Speaker 10 (28:57):
Well, well, the thing is that he's possible because he
handled the mail. They don't know if he missed delivery
to the to the neighbor before or after the house.
But they know the secrets in order of the mail,
and if it happened more than one time, you know,
they can be assured that it's that. Yeah, especially if
(29:17):
it's credit cards or something like that. So it wasn't
hard for them. How long we write at thirty two
years I.
Speaker 2 (29:27):
Was gonna say, why did you leave? Because nobody leaves.
Speaker 10 (29:31):
Oh yeah, Well there's a lot of people young people nowadays. Uh,
they leave and a lot of them go to the
plants and stuff. Well, another way they used to catch
carriers is that they used to write down the serial
number of the paper money and put it in the
envelope and have part of it kind of showing. And
you know, carry was still it that way. And sometimes
(29:54):
they would write the serial number and leave it on
the floor in the post office or in the GP
or something like that.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
You know, so that was happening a lot.
Speaker 10 (30:03):
God, No, that wasn't happening a lot. But you know
when it did happen, they you know, they would have
a way to discover the carrier.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
You know, how is different from when you when did
what years you retire.
Speaker 10 (30:21):
In twenty eighteen?
Speaker 2 (30:23):
How is it five years ago?
Speaker 10 (30:27):
Oh? Well, they didn't take pictures of the you know,
they do that, you know, and they you don't care.
I mean, customers can go online or in something and
see what they have coming in the mail. Uh, you know.
So they started that when I was kind of going
out maybe the last couple of years, you know, And uh,
(30:50):
well it was hard to getting on when I got
on in eighty six. You know, you have to take
a test and the memory report was pretty hard. But
nowadays there's always a sign up at the post office
around here trying to get Yeah, I used to tell
people all the time, you know, to go in and
(31:12):
try to get a job and stuff, because we needed help.
But just about every single person that I told had
something wrong with their record. Well they couldn't you know,
eat the drive US license, bad record or something was wrong.
And I don't think one of them came in, you know.
But yeah, there's something else. You know.

hundred applications they get, somebody has a clean record, they
(31:56):
can't even begin to talk to somebody because their insurance
to carry somebody, let's have a record. And you can't
find a mail between the ages of you know, eighteen
and forty five that has a clean record anymore. They've
all got dwuys, they've all got I mean, it's exactly

The Burden
The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
