Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So Michael Verie Show is.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
On the air.
Speaker 3 (00:14):
I was just given a note by the Secretary of
State saying that we're very close to a deal in
the Middle East.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
But the real key is President Trump. He's the one
that made this happen. Certainly, Envoys Wikoff and Jared Kushner
were a very big part of sealing the deal, bringing
it together. That this would never have happened without the
leadership of President Trump.
Speaker 5 (00:50):
We've heard it again and again from a number of
people today, really giving credit to President Trump forgetting this
deal over the finish line. What are you hearing from
your sources with regard to President Trump's role in getting
both parties to sign off on at least the first
phase of this peace plan.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Well, certainly this is an enormous moment for the world,
but also for this administration, a big win for the
President who has been very personally involved in this.
Speaker 6 (01:12):
Lindsay, if Donald Trump doesn't get the Nobel Peace Prize,
the committee should disband.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
Oh.
Speaker 7 (01:33):
Absolutely, this is a historic achievement. He has taken away
all Hamas's leverage over Israel.
Speaker 8 (01:38):
It's gone now.
Speaker 7 (01:39):
The hostages were the leverage. If they're coming home, we're
gonna have a celebration, But it also could be the
end of Hamas as a military power in the region.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
Made no mistake.
Speaker 1 (02:03):
It looks like President Trump has actually pulled off.
Speaker 7 (02:06):
Something here that many presidents before him have failed to.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
Do history and the making for the president and for
the negotiators from the US and around the world, and
indeed for the globe, a step toward peace that Pe
believed possible.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
And yet here we are tonight.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Under Terry Smith. Say this is fall weather, cooler mornings.
I mean, I guess, relatively speaking, but dang it, Terry,
this is not the fall weather I was counting on.
I've always loved the fall because you're going into the holidays,
(03:05):
You're looking at the end of the year. You're looking
forward to Thanksgiving and Christmas and presence and vacation and
college football and cool weather. That combination is just like
(03:25):
a bunch of really cool stuff all together at one time.
And I feel like I'm being cheated out of the
cool weather part right now, to the extent I would
like it needs to get cool and a whole lot faster.
We had a party on Sunday night for the Palm
(03:47):
Beach trip, and it was a pre party for everybody
to get to know each other. And the idea was
to do it outside. And it was four to seven.
Of course that turns into four to ten, but it
was four to seven. And the idea was when we
planned this in August, you know, it'd be nice and
you know, be into the first week of October. Be
(04:10):
nice and cool. We'll be on the it will be
in the backyard. Everybody will be able to wear a
you know, light jacket or a cardigan or you know
a Rick Santoro, Uh yeah, Rick Santorum, sleeveless, vast kind
of thing. You know, you start looking forward to that,
(04:30):
being able to put on a layer or two Ramon.
Oh no, it was not to be. We were hiding
from the sun like the cows and the Robert o' kinsone.
Hamas has accepted the Trump broker peace deal to end
the war in Gaza and return the hostages. As was
President Trump talking to Sean Hannity last night.
Speaker 3 (04:52):
The whole world came together, to be honest, so many
countries that you wouldn't have even thought of it, and
they came together. The world has come to together around
this deal, and that's something I would say that without
that wouldn't happen. So many countries that you wouldn't have
thought of have wired their best wishes and their commitment
(05:12):
to do whatever is necessary. The country surrounding of all signed.
I mean, they're all signed up. And it's been really
an amazing period of time and so great for Israel,
so great for Muslims, for the Arab countries, and so
great for this country, for the United States of America,
(05:33):
and that we could be involved in, you know, making
a deal like this happened because it was you know,
many years they talked about peace in the Middle East.
This is more than Gaza. This is peace in the
Middle East, and it's an incredible thing.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
President Trump, continuing his comments on the gravity of the situation,
talking to Sean.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Handy, Goz is going to be a peaceful, much safer place. Obviously,
it's been blown to pieces. And this is just not
by Israel. This is over years and years and years.
It's been heartache for many years. A lot of people
say this is a deal for three thousand years. So
whether you say five hundred, because some people stay five
hundred based on events, but other people say this is
(06:11):
something historic for three thousand years. Is nothing ever going
to be bigger than this, And so Gaza, we believe,
is going to be a much safer place and it's
going to be a place that reconstructs. And other countries
in the area will help it reconstruct because they have
tremendous amounts of wealth and they want to see that
happen and will be involved in helping them make it
(06:33):
successful and helping it stay peaceful. But I think it's
going to be peaceful. I think again, the Iran situation
was very important doing what we had to do, which
was again twenty two years. It was planned to be
done and nobody, no other president wanted to do it
or whatever for whatever reason, but they didn't do it,
(06:53):
and having that was very important. But you know, I'm
very I'm very confident there'll be peace in the Middle East.
I mean, the words peace in the Middle East is
something people have been striving for for hundreds of years,
for centuries, for many centuries, and we really have. Every
country has come together.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
President Trump negotiating for Hamas to stop attacking Israel abroad
and domestically negotiating for Democrats to stop attacking Republicans. Very similar,
very similar situation we are seeing with his attempts to
(07:33):
clean up Portland, Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, and DC. Very similar demographics,
very similar problems. Here he is the call with the
families of Israeli hostages telling him their families will be returned.
Speaker 9 (07:50):
We know you've done so much for us over the past,
since you became a president, even before that, and we
trust to fulfill the mission until every hostage. Jeffrey, forty
eight of the hostages are home. Thank you so much.
God bless it be the peacemaker. God blessed mister President.
God bless America very much.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
You just take care of yourselves.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
The hostages will come back there, coming back on Monday.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Oh Captain some ting Wong, Well, something must be right.
You're listening to Michael Berry with icty and waitress.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Let's look at people in the United States. The Trump's
having to try to negotiate a peace settlement with this
sounds like a guy who would fit in very well
with the Palestinian terrorists. A twenty year old man arrested
for robbing a nine year old little boy at gunpoint
(08:56):
of the bag of groceries. He was carrying in for
his mother at an apartment complex in southwest Houston. The
story from ABC thirteen.
Speaker 10 (09:09):
On Monday night around nine pm. The Houston Police Department
says it was called Las Vilas del Farque Apartments on
Gasmer Drive in southwest Houston. HPD says this is where
a nine year old was carrying bags of groceries with
his brother to their apartment while their mother was walking
ahead of them. That's when officials say twenty year old
Joel Alfredereres approached and stole the bags of groceries at gunpoint.
(09:34):
According to law enforcement, DEAs then went around the corner
in the apartment complex and gave those bags of groceries
to his girlfriend. HPD says the mother called nine one
one and Jas was arrested at the complex while there.
HPD says it found a rifle on scene. Now, according
to court documents, Rees faces a felony charge of aggravated
(09:55):
robbery with a deadly weapon.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
You can't fix that. That is a broken human being.
Crush his skull and grind it up right now. There
is nothing that guy will ever offer society. I am
a believer in redemption for your soul, but on this earth.
(10:29):
I am a believer in justice. That level of crime,
that type of person, by the way, what do you
think the chances are he's illegal? That type of person
has to be taken out of general population and thrown
into a cage. And while we're at it, let's have
(10:51):
this conversation. I heard a story recently about a guy
who went to prison for nonviolent crimes, crimes of substance abuse.
And we don't have a comprehensive plan because we don't
have an overlord of all criminal justice. But let me
(11:13):
just go ahead and tell you right now what needs
to be done. You've got to take the bad people
who harm other people off the streets, period, end of story.
That has to happen. You have to put them in
a cage and leave them in a cage. You can
spend all the time you want talking about whether they
can butt rape each other and whether they get to
(11:35):
have air conditioning, and all that is fine. You can
do all that. That has to happen. They have to
be put in cages and not let out. Period. Then
you've got to assess why you don't have enough cages
to put them in. And one of the reasons is
we have criminalized things that are less than ideal but
(11:59):
do not deserve being put into a cage. Substance abuse
being one of those. Now everyone jumps up and oh
my drugs. Okay, you can't put everybody in a cage.
So do you want the guy who has raped nine women?
Or do you want that guy to be released early
(12:22):
or not put in a cage because you don't have
cage space because this guy over here is addicted to drugs?
Which one is it? You don't operate in the abstract
where you say, well, we're gonna we don't want you
to engage in this behavior, so we're going to put
you in a cage. You've got to find alternate, cheaper,
(12:44):
less draconian ways. If you think about the fact that
a prison is comprised of people who have drug problems
and people who commit murder, there's something you're a little
more advanced as a society than that. Everybody goes in
(13:06):
the cage, everybody interacts, because the point is we've created
a prison and we'll just throw them all in there.
That doesn't make any sense to me. You don't do
that with children. You have children with extreme autism or
other learning disabilities such that they can't function or perform
(13:30):
at grade level in a school, you put them in
a different class or if it comes to into a
different school, and you give them separate resources because you
understand they have separate needs. That's not hard to understand.
You have boys leagues and girls leagues because boys and
girls are different, and you don't want the girls getting
(13:52):
severely injured which would happen if they played with the
boys in some of the sports. In track, not as important,
but you understand that boys and girls are built with
different anatomy, and in order to assure some level of fairness,
you separate the two sexes. Boys track meet girls tractor
(14:16):
or boys team girls team same in basketball. That's not
that hard to understand. So why we have a single
set of prisons for every different type of crime that
is committed is ridiculous. Either we lack any creativity or
(14:38):
we don't actually want to solve the problems. Because most
people throw up their hands and say we have a
crime problem. We imprison a higher percentage of our population.
I believe this is still true than any country in
the world, and we still don't imprison enough. That's crazy,
that's absolutely nuts, and we still have one safe streets.
(15:01):
Statistically speaking, we still have a feeling of a lack
of safety, which is just as important. So we're not
doing some things that we ought to be doing in
order to create the type of society that you won't.
I was watching an interview with Ken Griffin early this morning,
and he was talking about getting people to leave Chicago
(15:25):
to they were relocating against the Headquarters, and he was
talking about getting people to leave Chicago, and he said
fifty out of fifty public schools, in public high schools
in Chicago had not a single student reading at grade.
He was going through the crime numbers and all this.
(15:47):
We've got a real big problem in this country, a
very big problem in this coating around. Damn it.
Speaker 11 (15:55):
All right, this is Mark Chestnut and Are Bizaar of
Talk Radio.
Speaker 2 (16:04):
Well, here's the story for you. A very elaborate plan
undertaken to steal of all things, shrimp. A man dressed
as a delivery driver tried to steal twenty pounds of
fresh golf shrimp from Winnie's Restaurant in Midtown. Owner Graham
(16:25):
Laboard tells a Houston Chronicle that employees initially didn't notice
that the man was out of place when he walked
through the back door, since he was wearing the uniform
from a tortilla company that occasionally delivers to Winnies. Then
staff found shrimp taken out of the cooler. He thinks
the man had left the shrimp on a table as
(16:46):
he went to look at other businesses out the side door,
planning to come back for the shrimp. The board described
confronting the man and pushing him out of the restaurant.
The man mounted a bike and escaped, leaving the shrimp behind.
He then called the popo. The board said, I've been
doing this a long time, and that's the first time
this particular tactic has ever been used. He says the
(17:09):
restaurant has dealt with theft before, but normally much more
destructive and much less inventive. He estimated that the restaurant
paid eight or nine dollars a pound for the golf shrimp,
so everything pulled out of the cooler total less than
two hundred dollars. How you think he was going to
cook that shrimp? What method of preparation or moon did
(17:33):
you have in mind?
Speaker 12 (17:35):
Shrimp is the fruit of the sea.
Speaker 9 (17:37):
You can volkie it, bol it, brawl it bacon salteate
days on shrimp, kebabs, shrimp creole, shrimp.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Gumbo and fry, deep fry, stir fry.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
His pineapple shrimp, limon, shrimp, coconut shrimp, help of shrimp.
Speaker 12 (17:56):
Shrimp soup, shrimp stew, shrimp, shrimp and potatoes, shrimp burger,
shrimp sandwich.
Speaker 2 (18:07):
That's That's about it. The cut to different locations makes
that whole bit. Just because you know that that means
it's been going on for hours. Our friend Shirley Liquor
even wrote a poem about shrimp.
Speaker 8 (18:25):
I was looking at that movie last night Forrest Grumps,
and uh, you remember everybody own that picture was ignorant,
but not Tom Hang but the one that talk about
all the different kind of shrimps the way you could
cook them, you know, bird, shrimp, fresh shrimp, sees the
shrimp and all it's here. I don't know its name,
(18:46):
but he was ignorant. But anyway, I goes, uh watching
that looking at it on the subject of the shrimps,
and uh, I wrote a poem. It's called a O
Too a Shrimps, and I would like to recite it
for you, Oh little shrimps. You floats in the water.
You are a nasty gray color, So why do we bother?
(19:09):
You have no i Q, no wings, no fins, no feats,
But when borrowed you taste rubby, but when fried you
taste good. So when the Vietnam these fishermen's catches you
and it's over. Remember, little shrimps, is you taste best
(19:32):
with garlic and butter. I know that's right, yes, lord,
Oh that made me hungry shrim.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
You know what amazes me Ramon that you could have
such a addict disparity in the quality of shrimp that
is served in restaurants. So I understand, long John Silvers.
You know you're you're you're paying very little. You're gonna
(20:13):
get the little you know, the little cast off little shrimp.
But it surprises me what passed. You know, when you
see shrimp on the menu, you really have no idea
what you're getting, and some places will serve you those
Are they called tiger shrimp? Is that what that's called?
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Like?
Speaker 2 (20:37):
I like a good shrimp cock to hunt well, pro
I think of prawn's about the same thing. I learned
the word prawn the first time I ate at a
fancy Indian restaurant when undead to nineteen eighty nine, and
it was it was right there at sixteen Oh sorry,
(20:57):
it's right there at West Timer in the track. And
it was called Bombay Palace. I think that's right. Uh anyway,
And they called him prang and I told my wife
then girlfriend, I didn't know what that was, and just
just shrimp, And yeah, I don't know if I don't
know what that means. But I've never had a little
bitty prawn. Right when they say prawn, it's always a
(21:19):
damn near a fish. It's a little mini lobster. Now,
I like the hell out of that. Mmm. You like
shrimp cocktail? You don't?
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (21:29):
I love shrimp cocktail. Ooh man, I love some shrimp catts.
It's just a delivery to look okay, all right, I
will stipulate this factory statement. I still love it. How
about that get you some get you some cocktail sauce
in there if you're really feeling frisky that day. Makes
(21:51):
you some horse radish into it? Oh man, see horse
radish before I had a good allergist. Horse radish is
really good because horse radish will open your sinuses up
and taste good, you know, as funny as you get older,
you develop a taste for different things, and you lose.
I don't crave sweet things as I've gotten older, but
(22:14):
I crave sharp things like I like my cheese to
have a little more edge to it. I put a
little more horse radish into things. I don't know what.
I don't know what that's about. You know, I'm told
that your your buds redevelop I think it's every I forget,
(22:35):
but apparently they change through the course of your life.
What is the best place you ever had fried fish
in your life? One place outside of your own home?
All right, go, you don't need you know, we've been
working together for twenty years, and I still forget that.
(22:59):
And then and you told me that. And I think
you have the likes and dislikes of a child. And
I don't mean, I don't mean, you know, young people
are innocent. I mean, like a kid thing. I don't
eat dad, We'll eat your boogers. Then, Billy, Okay, have
(23:22):
you ever had fried shrimp? You had fried trimp, didn't
like it? Where did you have fried shrimp? Didn't like it?
You've tried it everywhere. I don't believe that. So if
you don't eat fish, like, you don't eat catfish, you
don't eat shrimp, you don't, but you do eat oysters.
That's weird, so that I just don't get that. I mean,
(23:45):
I know people that love fried seafood that don't eat oysters.
All right, one segment, one segment, only make it quick,
best place you've ever had fried catfish? And don't call
up and go miles, that's stupid. We're talking about public places.
Seven one three, nine, nine, nine, one thousand, one segment,
be quick seven again.
Speaker 13 (24:05):
That's why I.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Probably out of tune.
Speaker 4 (24:09):
Now.
Speaker 2 (24:09):
You might have to edit that.
Speaker 11 (24:11):
This is Mark Chestnut enjoy bizar of talk radio, and
in the.
Speaker 12 (24:16):
Text I loaded Colonel Tom Parker Dragon Elvis Presley to
make a buck in the movies, every one of which
had bad songs.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Exhibit A. Saint Elmo's in Indianapolis. I got several emails
that their shrimp cocktail is the best in the world.
When someone says their shrimp cocktails the best in the world,
google it. I already know that what that means is
they got some press in a good pr team like
(24:49):
Pat O'Brien's. Bkay. Anytime somebody tells you something is the
best and to google it. If the basis upon which
they are the best is something that you can google,
that's usually a sign, especially like shrimp cocktail. It's not like,
(25:09):
you know, if you're building the fastest car, you could
legitimately prove this is the fastest car. But shrimp cocktail
is so subjective. All right, Best fried catfish you've ever had?
On the new phone system, Jeff, you're up, goat.
Speaker 13 (25:28):
All right, So you've got the chipper on Pinoak Road
in Katie, and then followed by Houston fish and chip
in Chema.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Jeff, you're only supposed to every one amy best fried
shrimp you've ever had. You can do catfish, but it's
shrimp Go.
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Cat Fish Crossroads in cat Spring, Texas.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
You know, it's funny how many of these little places
out in tree towns do good catfish. All right, Best
fried trimp you've ever had, Nathan.
Speaker 13 (26:03):
Gold Well, you said catfish, but I would say Tad's
over there, and Kad has got some pretty damn catfish.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
I must have said catfish. If everybody heard me say catfish,
that's on me. I had catfish on my brain. Best
fried shrimp, Jeffrey.
Speaker 13 (26:17):
Goat, colchall In Malvernsota, Texas.
Speaker 2 (26:22):
Did you see my post I put up the other day?
Speaker 13 (26:25):
Did not? So?
Speaker 2 (26:27):
I was giving a speech in Iola at Francie or francinees.
I think it's Francis and right, I'm on my way.
We're gonna turn at what I'm told is pronounced b
dice and maternal.
Speaker 13 (26:40):
Left right right, yeah?
Speaker 2 (26:42):
And what is that I'm on? When I go blowing
past cow.
Speaker 13 (26:45):
Talk, that would be a highway ninety.
Speaker 2 (26:49):
It is ninety, okay, yeah, it's ninety, but it also
came up as something else, county road something. Anyway, I
go blowing by, people are clearly having dinner, and it's
in front of the Avasota Auction. And I said to
Uncle Jerry, who was driving me, I said, man, I'll
bet you that is so good. He said, Michael, the
steak they bring you is not the most expensive cut,
(27:13):
highest grade meat, but I'm telling you it is. It's prime.
I think he said that steak it stood over the
edges of your plate.
Speaker 13 (27:24):
Yeah, it's as big as your head. It's good.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
But I saw that. I guess it was Friday and
Saturday nights they do Friday shrimp, is that right? Or
Friday night? I can't remember which.
Speaker 13 (27:33):
One they typically do catfish they have just about every day.
But it's just fantastic you live in that area. I
grew up there. I live in Houston now that I'm
hoping to get back there quickly.
Speaker 2 (27:47):
Where did you grow up in n Avisota? Hum a
lot of folks from Navasota that came to our event.
I guess Avsota's probably the biggest community in Grimes County.
The other one was Planners, and then there were a
lot of people who they didn't actually tell them where
they lived. They live in Houston, like in the Woodlands,
but they're spending They've got a place out. People get
(28:09):
a modest place out in Grimes County and they go
out there for the weekend. And I think many people,
you know, it's as much about what you're going to
as what you're getting away from. And that's a sad,
sad fact. Nobody wants to retire in the greater Houston
area anymore because, let's be honest, you got too damn
many thugs and and that's that's that's what people are
(28:30):
getting away from. And how sad. This was the interview
I was listening about Chicago. These people that were multi
generation Chicagoans, and they're willing quickly to get up and
leave because they've had enough the just savage, awful racist
crap that they deal with. There's there's no worst racism
(28:53):
in America today than an inner city black community. And
you see blacks that have had enough of it, They've
had black fatigue, and they're getting out. It's it's it's really,
it's it's a it's a bad deal. Ezra Best fried.
Speaker 13 (29:09):
Shrimp, catfish, Burner's cutter, catfish and conro.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Is that the one they had to rebuild because it.
Speaker 13 (29:17):
Flooded, Yes, sir, it is.
Speaker 2 (29:20):
It flooded twice. Let me tell you something. That woman
she was out there, Remember she was out there and
waste deep water. I think she was on the phone.
Was and everybody, every person, every little needy woman, he
needn't get out at water. She gonna get out and
he gonna gonna get get it. That's her business. And
can you not, for just a moment, can you not
(29:41):
tell people they need to cut their hair or straighten
their tire, stand up straight? What are you least trying
to get the catfish back? Okay, she might have been
she might have been thinking there'd be some catfish swimming
in that water and she just gonna catch them right
there on the spot. Hey did you see that story yesterday?
Speaker 3 (29:58):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (29:58):
Man, I gotta find that. See if you can find it,
chats to me. Here's a guy that they they arrested,
but they can't figure out what to hold. Oh, they
arrested him for hunting without a without a permit. Guess
what kind of hunting he was doing? His hands and
his molers. Yeah, he says he's a caveman, and they
arrested him because he didn't have a permit. But I
think they eventually had to let him go. What happened
(30:20):
is I guarantee he mouthed off to the to the
Game Wars. That's that's that was his crime. Kelly Best
