You remember from watching Kojak that Tele Sabalis's left index
finger is bent down at all times and stuck in
a position.

Speaker 7 (05:59):
To tell your clients to have his mouth behave there's
a prime candidate for a good will cut.

Speaker 1 (06:04):
Why this doesn't have it taken all? Although he could
probably balance.

Speaker 4 (06:08):
Things on stick with a small voice.

Eloon just rescued two astronauts that Biden left floating around
in space for none.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
We have just witnessed one of the greatest moments in
African American history, and all African Americans should be rejoicing.
Houston has a myth flab in it. Think about this,
a meth lab under a high end apartment complex in
downtown Houston. This is when you miss Marvin's in the

(06:50):
Marvin Settler.

Speaker 10 (06:52):
I witnessed the targeted attack on a Tesla repair center
in Las Vegas, video showing multiple cars.

Speaker 11 (06:59):
In flame, and has been arrested in charge with arson
after trying to destroy a Tesla charging station.

Speaker 7 (07:04):
Tesla's are being torched across the country, dealerships shot up
and set on fire.

Speaker 1 (07:10):
Elon has become the focal point of that anger for them,
and they're going to bring to bear everything they can.
They're going to terrorize Tesla's, They're going to burn charging stations,
and this is why it's going to be important that
federal charges are brought against these people for terrorism. And
that's what it is.

Speaker 11 (07:24):
It's a form of economic terrorism.

Speaker 12 (07:37):
Everybody is gone away.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
See they're gone, is time as.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
Has your week flown? Or has it blown? Is there a?
Is there an? I truly believe you need to get
off your chest? Is there a? Is there's something you've
noticed you'd like to share with the rest of us?
Just visit, as we'd say, little fellowship seven one three

(09:14):
one thousand, seven one three one thousand. President Trump to
speak today at ten o'clock Central in the Oval Office,
with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth by his side. President then
set in the afternoon at four to leave the White
House and head to Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster

(09:37):
in New Jersey, arriving at about five point thirty pm Eastern.
A hearing is expected before US District Judge James Boseburg
in Washington on whether he should extend his earlier order
blocking President Trump from using the Alien Enemies Act to
carry out some deportation flights, an act that he has

(09:57):
no legitimate authority to take. We shall see. President Trump
signed the much anticipated executive order to dismantle the Education
Department and overdue measure. Interestingly, when Rick Perry ran for
president in twenty twelve, some people remember he said there

(10:18):
were three core principles. He was going to undertake three
core actions number one, number two, and he couldn't remember
number three, and people laughed, Oh, he's not very smart.
He had just had a major back surgery a couple
of weeks before that. In fact, there was one sympathetic
reporter who stayed back after the event and he described

(10:40):
Rick Perry coming off of the stage to get down
and how much pain he was in and how hard
it was to watch. Well, of course he would recover
his health and faculties. It was just a moment. But
that third thing that he couldn't remember that he would
eliminate from the government because it was unnecessary, was the

(11:00):
Department of Education. This has been talked about for a
very very long time, and just like moving the embassy
withdrawing from Afghanistan, the others talk about it and Trump
actually does it. Let's go to Brian. Brian, you are
on the Michael Berry Show. Are you the Sandjersino County fellow?

Speaker 8 (11:21):
Yes, I am all right.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
Let me read this and then you can fill in
the rest. Brian wrote to me. I live off FM
thirty eighty one, a couple miles into Sanderseno County from
Montgomery County. The fire at Peach Creek, referred to as
the Paulina Road fire, supposedly started as a controlled burn
on Tuesday morning. It did not mysteriously begin yesterday. The

(11:46):
San Jack Fire Department came to my front gate on
Tuesday morning and informed me of a controlled burn that
had gotten out of control. It was extremely windy last Tuesday.
Why any burn at all was allowed on such a
windy day is quite strange. I hiked toward the smoke
on Tuesday and took pictures of all the heavy smoke

(12:08):
blowing north. The officials are saying it started yesterday and
claiming they don't know how. Lots of wrong info regarding
this fire, which makes me suspicious. Let me start from
the back and work our way forward. What is the
state of the fire today.

Speaker 8 (12:27):
Well, I don't see any smoke in the air now.
I think I really haven't checked the conditions now. I
just know that on Tuesday morning, everybody around here was
gagging on smoke. It was thick it was blown hard.
And there's a massive acreage around this property. Oh at
least fifteen thousand acre maybe maybe it's more of acreage

(12:51):
has been being cleared for the past two or three years.
I don't know what They have different stories. One guy
says that what some people say going to be a
giant working cattle ranch and dairy farm. Other people are
saying it's gonna be a giant master planning community. I
understand there's different building regulations here in San Jack County
that then there is Montgomery County. That's why there's not

(13:11):
as much development as San Jacky had. Aside, there was
a lot of smoke and people are very concerned and
they were calling into the authorities all morning. And that's
when eventually the fire department came to the front gate
to see if everything was okay here, and they said
it was out of controls in the tree tops. And
I thought it was much closer than it was. But

(13:33):
I put on my hiking boots and I headed across
the country and I hiked on toured it up on
about a mile and a half until I got to
where smoke was very thick and it was across the
horizon from from east to west looking south, and it
was spreading, and people are pretty concerned. They kept calling
in and calling in, and I don't understand up until

(13:55):
for the past two or three years that the land's
been getting cleared by machine. But suddenly they started clearing
by burning. Apparently they're saying it was prescribed burn. They
got out of control, and I'm wondering, first of all,
why it would be allowed that they commenced a burning
clearing activity on such a windy days done very strange. Anyway,

(14:20):
the smoke is has shifted because the winds shifted, and
we're not goging on smoke anymore. But then all of
a sudden, they started saying that it was hidden into
Montgomery County, blowing south and and that's when I started
hearing conflicting news reports that from radio MTV that that

(14:41):
the fire hit the mysterious mysteriously began the previous day,
But it had hadn't it It started Tuesday morning. Unless they
put that fire out on Tuesday that was pretty massive,
and a brand new one started on the day that
was being reported. I think it was the same fire,
which is they'd never gotten under control, is what I'm thinking.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
Interesting so it never got any closer than that to
your home.

Speaker 8 (15:07):
No, it came all the way to a boggy creek.
It just isn't a creek, just not the Peach Creek,
and it and it, and then the wind started shifting
and started blowing to the east and then to the south.

Speaker 1 (15:19):
Brian, you tell me, but I don't recall winds like
we've seen in the last week or so. I don't
recall winds this high. I mean, I don't recall when
it last happened. I mean, there was one day I
was visiting my dad. I opened the door to my
truck and the wind came up behind me. And if
I'd been standing in front of that door as I opened,

(15:42):
it would have put me on my butt. But it
pushed me into the door and slammed the door open
to slammed. It pushed the door open with such force,
and I sat back into the truck for a second,
and I kind of got my bearings, and I thought,
my goodness, it's like a wind tunnel. It was. It
was powerful. I can't imagine why they would undertake a

(16:03):
controlled burn with these kind of winds. That just doesn't
make any sense. Thanks for letting us know. Yes, yes,
it was horrible and it's a recipe for disaster with
a fire, as you've pointed out.

Speaker 13 (16:19):
Yeah, look at son Michael Berry, George, I can't excited.

Speaker 6 (16:33):
You.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
Probably I don't enough to remember this from home. But
on Kojak, the Rockford Files and Barretta and those they
would make chalk or tape outlines of bodies when they
were left there and they'd been killed. And now these
people are dying. They don't do anymore. Now these people

(16:53):
are dying without a trace. This is Josh Ford, Joe,
I read a very disturbing post. I should probably check
that out first, Let's go to the phone lines. Dan
Bongino yesterday posted a tweet he's at the FBI now,

(17:16):
and he said, our FBI Houston team is doing unbelievable
work getting illegal drugs off the streets. One hundred and
fifty kilos of narcotics seized just this week and two
successful operations this morning. Thank you agents. You're making America
safe because of you. It's a bad day to be
a bad guy. I have heard from other FBI agents

(17:41):
outside of Houston that the Houston office with the leader
they have right now, is where FBI agents want to work.
It's a good place to work. It's a well run operation.
I've heard good things about the Houston office. I'm just
telling you what other folks within the within the FBI hierarchy,
as an office to work out of and an operation

(18:05):
a team, they're saying good things about this one. Let's
go to David. David, you're on the Michael Berry Show.

Speaker 6 (18:10):
Go ahead, Hey, Michael, Yeah, I'm just since its Friday,
we have an old happy day. Happened last week. Secretary
of Homeland Security got rid of the union at TSA
or A f l C, I, O, A, f G E, whatever,
the little turrets that were out there, Yeah, singing bad

(18:31):
songs and worrying about their grifts. So their grift is
done at least for the next three plus years. So
and I'll be retired since I'm an old fart. A
lot of US bets, we had a lot of disabled
bets that worked there where. Sometimes it's embarrassing, but there
we're trying to get to the better people.

Speaker 1 (18:52):
So hopefully, David, let me ask you a questions. I
have had some TSA agents who are polite and helpful,
and they understand I'm not a nervous flyer, but I
noticed that many people are, and that they're almost shaking,
like they're at the dentist's office or you know. They're

(19:13):
very nervous. And there appear to be some TSA agents
who are just rude and mean spirited. And it's not
just that they're not trying to in any way be polite.
It's as if they're going out of their way to
be an ass. I'm just curious. Do they give any training?
And that's not to say they're all that way. I've

(19:34):
had some really nice ones. I always get their name.
Do they give any training in regard to that?

Speaker 6 (19:42):
Yeah, yeah, they do quite a bit.

Speaker 8 (19:44):
I think it might be a.

Speaker 6 (19:44):
Little bit easier now to take hold since they can't
go running to the union anymore. In fact, I ain't
seen Marcus. I know Marcus the trail quite well, and
I'm not up there in the top part of the
secure anymore with all the public that, so I guess
I might to write him an email and say, hey, brother,

(20:06):
I didn't retire yet, but we always have a good talk.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
Yeah. People loves to come up and approach him, and
he's he's pretty good about it. Considering how often it
happens because you know, he sometimes he just wants to
be left alone, but he's he's a very good sport
about it. Well, good for you, my man. I'm glad
to know there's some good guys there. I've actually come
across a lot of good guys in the TSA and

(20:34):
they will tell me that they hear me making TSA jokes.
And you know, my point with that is with most things,
there's good people and bad things people in every organization's
question of what percentage it is, and that's not lost
on me. Let's go to Eddie. Eddie, you're on the
Michael Berry Show.

Speaker 9 (20:48):
Go ahead, sir, Hey, Michael, you asked people to call
in about crazy stuff. So I was saying, my wife
had a dream we've been married thirty years, which she
had a dream, woke up because the dream was that
I was having an affair and she was angry at
me for something that happened in a dream. And I'm

(21:09):
telling you, Michael, see that everything but come off the
top ropes on that one.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
You know, it's funny. This has been This has been
portrayed in TV sitcoms. Comedians have talked about it. It's
obviously a very common phenomenon. And what I've decided is
that women worry about it, and your worries and fears
and anxieties manifest themselves in your dreams, and so dreams

(21:36):
can be so realistic that that I think when they
wake up, they're not sure if they're true or not.
My wife's not the jealous type, so I've never had
this experience. Did she tell you who you were having
an affair with?

Speaker 9 (21:52):
No, No, there was no detail to it. It was
it was very vivid while she was having it, and
then she woke up very angry. She was angry for
about maybe thirty minutes, but she couldn't remember all the
details of the dreams. And I just thought it was
funny because we have a great relationship. We'll be celebrating
thirty years in July, and well, right, well she's she's

(22:21):
a Taiwanese lady. We went back in college one hundred
years ago when Moses was in junior high. But she
is the most gentle person around. We've got along great
all these years. But I don't know if it's circle
that she he's out with where you know the ladies,
I call it her old birds.

Speaker 6 (22:40):
Of where the ladies.

Speaker 9 (22:42):
You know they've had those experiences. But I'll tell you what, man,
that little Lazyan woman was really angry that day. And Hey,
on another note, if you I'd like to compliment you
on the hard work that you do for Camp Hope.
And I want to let you know I'm an artist.
I've got a bunch of paintings. If you guys do
charity auctions, these paintings could collect a lot of money.

(23:05):
I'd be more than happy to help off with that.
If you want to take my.

Speaker 1 (23:09):
Information, well shoot me an email and I'll send you
over to David Molesby. I appreciate you saying that, but
I don't really do anything. I just talk a lot
of other people who do the heavy lifting, a lot
of good people who do the heavy lifting, and I
am I am incredibly, incredibly grateful that they do. It's

(23:30):
you know, you got about one hundred guys over there
at any given time, and you know the program goes
through in every six months and lives are being changed
and saved, and it's amazing. You know that story about
your wife, a little Taiwanese firecracker, and and her having
a nightmare that you had an affair It reminds me

(23:51):
of the story of the guy that he and his
wife go to the marriage counselor and his wife tells
the marriage counselor he doesn't pay attention to me. He
just it's high and by he waves and goes. He
doesn't show me any affection. We don't have sex. And
the marriage counselor walked over and he gave her a kiss,
a long, passionate kiss, about thirty seconds long, and he

(24:16):
came off of her and he said that right there,
that's what she needs. And the husband said, well, we
got therapy three times. I can bring her here on
Mondays and Wednesdays.

Speaker 10 (24:30):
But Friday, I got golf, a very show, and I'm
trying to do next time.

Speaker 1 (24:46):
You're a hockey fan with him, like a real fan,
or you just say you're a fan. The sports media
is reporting that Houston's own Dan Friedgen Dan Friedkin has
emerged as a potential buyer our owner of an NHL team,

(25:11):
which would be part of the next round of expansion
for the NHL, obviously Las Vegas, which has had a great.

Speaker 2 (25:21):
Run of it.

Speaker 1 (25:22):
I got to watch my only Stanley Cup hockey match
I've seen was Las Vegas. In that first year of existence.
They went to the championship and it was a show.
I took my kids.

Speaker 2 (25:36):
It was.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
It was really something else, the light shows, and it
was Vegas, right, it was Vegas in sports. I mean,
I suspect true hockey fans would have said this is
a sideshow carnival, but I didn't have anything to compare
it against it. It seemed kind of fun. Dan Friedkin
has been amassing sports assets. In twenty they bought the

(26:01):
Italian Series A club as Roma. In twenty twenty four,
became majority owners of the English Premier League club Everton
or Everton. I don't know ev E R T O N.
I'm gonna say Everton. They just secured a three hundred
and fifty million dollar funding round for a new stadium
for that team, and he was considering it is being

(26:23):
reported a bid for the Boston Celtics, which sold a
few days ago for six point one billion dollars. He's
chairman and CEO of Gulf State's Toyota. The Friedkin Group
is run operationally by a fellow named Mark Watts, who's
a good friend of mine. Used to be the managing
partner of Locklord, which was once Ladell sap Zivley Hill

(26:50):
and Laboon. Great guy. My friend Scott Davidson is over there.
Many of you have helped with the charity he and
his wife started after their son Chance Davidson passed at
twelve years old of a very rare brain cancer. They
started the equivalent of a local Saint Jude. They help
families with their expenses who come to Texas Medical Center

(27:14):
with children with cancer. They've also now expanded into all
sorts of other things, including and this is one of
the coolest things they do. These kids are going through
chemo ramon and they're as bald as you are, which
is hard for you know, ten eleven, twelve, fifteen, sixteen,
seventeen year old kid. So they have the equivalent of
a prom for a dance party for them. No parents allowed.

(27:37):
They're chaperones, but no parents allowed. And the kids get
to have what they can't otherwise have because they're going
through these medical treatments. Most of them are not in school.
It gives them a night and they have this party
and it is the coolest thing they do. They do
all sorts of other things, but this little charity has
grown over the years. He and his wife Andrea kind

(28:01):
of channeled their grief from losing their precious chance at
twelve years old, and now it's called Chance for Hope.
And they used to do their annual event at RCC.
Scott and my wife were law partners at that firm
Locklord years ago, and he has remained a good good friend.

(28:22):
He's also the lead singer of the band Southern Slang
for those of you who have ever seen them perform
at the RCC. Now they do shows at Armadilla Palace.
Really really good band. He has fella has a lot
of talents. But anyway, that organization is called Chance for Hope.
It's it's interesting when people take grief and channel it

(28:46):
for good. There was a woman named Lanny Rose and
she had lost her daughter, Marnie, who was a medical
resident when she got brain cancer and she died. If
you the TV show Houston Medical, it was the biggest
story on there, the most compelling story on that true

(29:08):
reality TV show. And Laney channeled that grief into something
called Run for the Rose and they have raised millions
of dollars for cancer research with a run they do
in Houston every year. I don't know when it is
this year. But it's a fun event and a lot
of people join in as part of that, and they'll

(29:31):
run into Two's and they'll run for somebody they've lost
or somebody who's in treatment. It's a pretty neat thing.
Those are the things that you remember years later. Mark,
You're on the Michael Berry Show.

Speaker 7 (29:44):
Go ahead, Sir, Hi Michael, I truly believe our friend
Daryl Kunda does the best Chris Farley impersonation I've ever seen.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
He also does the best Milo Hamilton.

Speaker 7 (29:57):
Oh yeah, he's a good impersonator.

Speaker 1 (29:58):
He is a very, very very good impersonator. We are
lucky to have him as our most recent addition to
our team. Very very lucky to have him. Reagan Zalez,
You're on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, Sir.

Speaker 6 (30:13):
Michael.

Speaker 7 (30:13):
Good morning. I know it's Friday. I know it should
be a different kind of mood, but I'm for Puerto Rico.
I came to the US in two thousand and six.
I left the two thousand and three. I left everything
over there, my mom and what so. I got to
call on Friday that my mom was not doing good
in the hospital. So I got out of work. I

(30:35):
left work early, told my wife gave me a trip
to Puerto Rico. My wife works for mister freaking Too.
She worked for the for the freaking Family and good people,
beautiful people. Anyway, I'll go to Puerto Rico, stay there.
I come back yesterday Thursday. So this morning I got

(30:55):
to call that nobody wants to get that your mom
passed away. And I know you're audience is big, and
I know there's somebody from Puerto Rico that's been through
this before. My mom has no will or nothing, and
I was wondering, since you know, when you're lost, you
call your friends. That's why I'm calling you, because I
consider you my friend. I've been listening to you for
so many years. I'm trying not to break down, and

(31:19):
I was wondering if anybody in the audience I've been
going through this has gone through this that can steer
me in the right way. Because she has a house
and all of that, and I didn't want the government
to keep anything that does not belong to them that
she worked hard for. That's that's the reason I was calling.
I'm trying. I'm trying to hold it together for the
kids and whatnot.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
Ray, I'm going to ask you offline. Just send me
an email and just tell me who you are, and
I'm sure somebody will reach out who has some experience
with this and can walk you through that. We we have.
There's a woman named Amalia and her husband Santy Claus.
I can't remember his full name, but he is Santa

(32:00):
Claus who've gone on our Aspen trip, and she splits
a lot of her time in Puerto Rico. We went
to Puerto Rico to Christmas two Thanksgivings ago, and while
we were there, she knew we were there and she said, well,
don't y'all go stay at our place. It was just
a little ways in. Well, I didn't think we were
going to be out there, So we went on a

(32:20):
hike on this beautiful, beautiful this beautiful beautiful park, and
we ended up passing right by that area. And she
hadn't sent photos, and she sent these photos. It was
it was one of the most glorious tropical homes because
the trees, it was just enveloped in green. It was

(32:41):
like a painting. And if I go back, we will,
we will stay there. It's they've they've built their dream
house down there, all right. Seven one three, nine, nine
nine one thousand. You can always email me through the
website Michael Berryshow dot com. Your calls coming up as
your week blown or blown? Do you haven't I truly
believe a statement you want to make, whatever that may be.

Speaker 9 (33:05):
M
