It's that time time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Michael Varry Show is on the air. Maybe you can
just go back, go back. Yeah, pretend like it never happened.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Let me just walking to the staff meeting on Monday
morning like it never happened.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Sure, you're an emotional person. People don't take you seriously.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Just go back.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Pretend the whole thing never happened. Never happened. I was
blowing off a little steam. So what so what you're
entitled unemotional? That's right, You're emotional. Never happened. Do you
think that it's respectful? What on succumb to the Oval
(00:54):
Office of the United States of America and attack the
administration that is trying to try to prevent the destruction.
You're a lot of questions. Let's start from the biginn
suor fills to wall during the war. Everybody has problems,
even you. But you have nice ocean and don't feel now,
but you don't feel it in the future. Bless, you're
(01:15):
not bless. You don't tell us what we're gonna feel.
We're trying to solve a problem. Don't tell us what
we're gonna feel. I'm not telling you because you're in
no position to dictate, that is that what you're in.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
No position to dictate what we're gonna feel.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
We're gonna feel very good, feel influence.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
We're gonna feel very good, very strong. You're right now
not in a very good position.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
You've allowed you to be in a.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Very bad positions to be right.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
About the very beginning of the war.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Not in a good position. You don't have the cards
right now with us. You start having calls right now.
You see billions of people.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
See gambling with world War three.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
You're gambling with world War three.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
You got to know when the whole of them no,
when the fold, no, when the wall, and when to run? Juniver,
count your old bunny, when you're sitting at the table.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
There will be time enough to count when the dealers done.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
All I can say is this, he might have broken
deals with Obama and Bush, and he might have broken
him with by he did maybe maybe he did.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
I don't know what happened. But he didn't break him
with me. He wants to make a deal. I don't
know if he can make a deal.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
The problem is I've empowered you to be a tough guy,
and I don't think you'd be a tough guy without
the United States, and your people.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Are very brave.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
But you're either going to make a deal or we're out.
And if we're out, you'll fight it out.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
I don't think it's.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Gonna be pretty, but you'll fight it out.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
You don't have the cards. But once we sign that deal,
you're in.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
A much better position.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
But you're not acting at all thankful. And that's not
a nice thing.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
I'll be honest, that's not a nice thing.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
You got no the home, no wind, the folder, no when.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
The ark, and no to run jun come when you're
sitting the.
Speaker 6 (03:26):
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessen says when he was in the
Oval office during the meeting with Zelensky on Friday, and
he said it was Zelensky who blew up the negotiations.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
And I think he's right in this part that Ukraine
does not want peace.
Speaker 7 (03:45):
Okay, Well, it's news to me that this was that
the sequencing is shifting. That you were saying you have
to agree to a peace deal before the minerals agreement.
There aren't even negotiations for a peace deal on your.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
First it's not a minerals agreement, it's a general economic agreement.
So calling your mentals agreement is incorrect, and I think
we have to see if President Silensky wants to proceed.
What's what's the use in having an economic agreement that's
going to be rendered moot if he wants the fighting
to continue.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
President Trump wants a peace steal Vladimir Putin.
Speaker 7 (04:19):
It's unclear if he wants a peace steel though there
are no negotiations under why. The Secretary of State said
that on another network this morning.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Yeah, and President Trump.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
President Trump has said that President Trump is trying to
move forwards peace.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
He said repeatedly.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
During during that episode in the Oval, we don't know
if we'll get a peace steel, but we.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Got to try, Okay.
Speaker 7 (04:39):
Last Sunday, President Trump's envoy Steve Whitcoff said on another
network that the plan for negotiations was the so called
draft is done bul protocol. The Institute for the Study
of Wars is that this would leave Ukraine helpless in
the face of future thresh Russian threats or aggression. If
that's described as the future of US diplomacy and the framework,
(05:03):
why isn't mister Zelenski asking the right question when he says,
how can I agree to a ceasfire with no security guarantees,
or even a minerals agreement or investment agreement without security guarantees.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Well, look, I think the plan is for the European
Union to provide this security, not NATO, the European Union.
And again the tragedy of Friday, and I don't know
what President Zelenski was thinking. We had President of France
Emmanuel Macron in on Monday, great meeting. We had Prime
Minister kir Stammer on Thursday, fantastic meeting.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
They were all on board the arc of the peace agreement.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
All President Zelensky had to do was come in and
sign this economic agreement and again show no daylight, no
daylight between the Ukrainian people and the American people, and
he chose to blow that up.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
So the deal is no longer on the table.
Speaker 7 (05:56):
Just to be abundantly clear, not at present.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Victor Davis Hanson wrote an excellent piece On's behavior, and
he says, I won't read you all of it, but
he points out a number of things, and I thought
this was very good. Where he noted that the people
(06:20):
who are Zelenski's aiders and a Better's and advisors and
counselors supporters. All of those people are out of power.
This is the guy who in October came to Pennsylvania
to campaign for Kamala Harris in violation of our election laws.
(06:45):
That was foreign interference. There were British members of parliament
who did the same, labor leaders. So you got the
Obama Clinton Biden gang, the people who've been running the
country for the last four years and in large part
for law longer than that, coupled with the Republicans who
(07:06):
hate and secretly want this war to continue for their
own reasons. I'll remind you there's there's a video I
watched this weekend of John McCain in Kiev in twenty
thirteen talking about American assistance for Ukraine in a in
(07:27):
toppling the leader, the duly elected leader who was aligned
with Russia at the time. You know, it's not the
case as some will tell you, that Ukraine is somehow
some foreign country that has that Russia is trying to
keep to the core. The actual word Ukraine means the outskirt.
(07:54):
Ukraine was as original to the Russian Empire. And by
the way, we're proud of our country, we're proud of
our history, we're proud of our victories. The Russians are
as well, and it's immature and silly to assume that
(08:14):
we're getting all the information that well. I got a
story on Bert Harvey being arrested coming up. You're gonna
you're gonna want to hear this. Everyone listens to Michael
Verry show. If you were a member of the RCC
in the early days and you came around much, and
(08:37):
especially if you were involved in helping to build it
or volunteer appreciation, volunteer efforts, you know Bert Harvey. The
quick story, because I want to get into the real
story is if you remember Albert Wood. I get a
call from Jeff McShann. There's an elderly man marine World
(08:58):
War Two veteran is how has been torn asunder. His
wife died two weeks ago. He comes home from a
doctor's appointment. Lord knows what he was doing driving at
ninety years old, ninety two, I believe, and I get
him on the phone and I decide we're going to
repair his home. Where we rebuilt his home and he
ended up being close to four hundred thousand dollars worth
(09:18):
of worth of things donated. The home was it was
a it was a It was a tired old home
that now all of a sudden was something we could
be proud that he was living in. And so many
of you participated.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Well.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
The day I went, I said, anybody's interested in participating?
The day I went, And in the front lawn when
I arrived, there were there were you couldn't get down
the street. It was an open ditch street and really
only a lane and a half wide, and there were
trucks everywhere. I said, look, guys, I do two shows
a day. I can't run this job. I need somebody
to be the point for this. And I figured I'd
(09:52):
look around and nobody want to do it. And this guy,
who I later would find out is Bird Harvey steps
forwards us. I'll do it. And he did. And he
did that, and shortly thereafter he left Gee and Holmes
where he was a home builder, very well regarded for
this homebuilder, and started his own construction company renovations or pairs,
those sorts of things on a shoes train. Didn't tell
(10:13):
me about it. Even when he left. It was a
little while l he said, I didn't want you to
worry about me. When he got on his feet, he
tells me about it. He built the RCC for me,
and he's done work for me over the years. I've
sent him to a lot of people. If obviously I
have a show sponsor, all Star Construction, and they do
bigger jobs, but for smaller jobs, I've always sent Burt
and he's done very well. And he's like family. I mean,
(10:35):
my kids have He's watched my kids grow up. You
know this is this is a guy has a key
to our home in our checkbook. You trust somebody at
that point, you like somebody. I've watched his kids grow up.
His wife Sarah and a very active member of the RCC,
and so many of you know him and have known
him over the years. Anyway, so we were set on
Thursday afternoon, we have a conversation and we're going to
(10:58):
meet on Friday in between the morning and the evening
show because I had a project, little project for him
to do at the studio and I wanted to see
what he thought about it. And he was going to
come over in the afternoon and meet me at the
studio and we would we would go over it. Well,
lo and behold, I get an email from his wife,
subject line Bert Help, and Bert had been arrested and
(11:22):
was in jail and we couldn't speak to him. And
that's not supposed to happen to one of my friends. Right. Well,
here's the story of Bert's thirty hours in jail. Bert
Harvey is our guest.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Bert.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
So Thursday night you go to a car meet at
Rudy's Barbecue and tom Ball off two forty nine. Why
don't you get us started? And I'll interrupt, right.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
So, we have a little truck for my sixteen year
old Sean. We've been putting it together for him and
he likes, you know, cars like we do. So we
decided to drive from Crosby out to Tomball to have
dinner and hang out with the car meet. And we
did have dinner, and when we left, we wanted a
cruise around some more. So we drove over to my
(12:06):
friend Mark's tattoo shop, hitting gym Over in Cyprus and
hung out there for a little bit. He got to
be about nine o'clock and we decided let's let's go
back home. You know, kids have stuff Tomorrow, I gotta
I gotta be at work. We got to work at
Gringos the next day and all of that, and when
I was backing out of my parking space, one of
my buddies yelled, do a burnout, and I did so,
(12:28):
I you know, I spun the tires for ten or
fifteen feet and I drove forward and went to pull
out of the parking lot. And I looked and there
was a sheriff's officer. He had he had done a
U turn and was you know, right there. And I'm like, ah,
this guy's gonna I'm stupid. I'm about to get a ticket. So,
you know, I pull out and pull right back in
(12:48):
the parking lot and he pulls in behind me, and uh,
I turned the truck off and roll the windows down
and turn the interior life on, all the stuff you're
supposed to, you know, put my hands where he can
see them. And he comes over and ask me if
I know why why he was there, and I said
for sure, you know, yeah, I was stupid, and uh
I hand him my driver's license and my license to carry,
(13:11):
and he goes back to his car, and I'm my
sixteen year old sons with me, and he says, you know, Dad,
what's gonna happen. I said, I We're gonna get a ticket.
Maybe maybe we'll get a warning, but probably we're gonna
get ridden for this. So he comes back and he
asked me to get out of the truck, and uh,
he said, I'm going to detain you. And he puts
(13:32):
me in cuffs. And I thought, well, maybe he's he's
gonna be a little bit of a bully and show me.
You know that this isn't this isn't that light of
a thing. I should take it seriously. And he takes
me and sticks me in his car, and then I
can hear him on the on his computer. You know,
I can't see exactly what he's doing. He's up there
(13:52):
typing and typing and typing, and then he gets on
the phone and uh, now I know now that he
was on the phone with the DA, and he was
on the phone with the DA for a long time,
and you know.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
He took my gun from me and all that in
a little while later. By long time, I think it
was forty five minutes or more.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Maybe, yeah, thirty to forty five minutes to old that
he's going off the phone.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
He's determined to get charges on you.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
I believe so. Yes, And during this time, my wife
has walked over Sarah and another friend of mine that
was there because you know, Sean was still in the truck.
And Sean was looking at his mom like do I
get out? And she said no, no, no, you just
stay there. Do what the officer says. Well, then is
Officer Jamison. So he goes over and and he gets
Sean out of the truck, and Sarah said, hey, I'm
(14:39):
his mom. He's sixteen, he's a minor. You know I
can take custody of him. And he said, you know,
this is my investigation. And you know that understandable. He
doesn't know us, he doesn't know what's going on. So
he said, you know, get stayble and you get in tom.
I do I have tattoos? So so he put Sean
in handcuffs and I was like, oh man, this is
(15:00):
too far. You know, don't he's sixteen year old. But anyways,
he puts him in handcuffs and sticks him in a
car and and he gets back on the phone again,
and also because Sarah and Forrest had walked up, he
called for other units. And I don't know exactly how many.
I couldn't see everything because I was in the back
of the car before us. Your friend, to be clear,
(15:22):
he's my friend, Yes, yes, sir, we've been for instance,
we were kids, all right. So these other units show
up and then he takes Sean out of the car
with me and stuffs him in another unit. And Sarah
was protesting, like, hey, he he was a passenger who
didn't do anything. Why do you have him detained in
handcuffs in the back of a police car. He's a kid.
(15:44):
And eventually he did let Sean go, but man, he
stayed on the phone, uh with this, with this da
for a long time. And then he finally comes back
and he says, I'm gonna go ahead and place you
under arrest. And really, all the way up until this point.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
All that thought, all that thought, because it gets it
gets really interesting coming out here, was that just not
an option for you? I was young ambitions, Michael Berry.
I was just young and ambitious and I love women. Hey,
you came knot no man for loving women? A man.
(16:25):
I've got friends that dress up nice and wear a
tie and speak to Queen's English. But I got a
whole lot more friends that are plumbers and electricians and
plant workers. And if you saw the jokes they're emailing
me right now about Bert bean Intail, it's it's all
(16:45):
in good fun, but my goodness alive, y'all would be
very embarrassed if you knew. I will remind y'all for
those of y'all who came to the pork chop eating
contest at the RCC. We had these big pork chops
and we decided that we would have a pork shop
eating contest, and our seller Robert Reese won it. And
(17:09):
he didn't just win it. He ate eight of them.
And these weren't the little chiletta you get at the
little tacoia. These were big honking pork chops and he
would do a push up in between each one that
he ate. Billy Stagner came in second place with three.
(17:29):
To put it into perspective, and Billy can throw down
some food. There were other people in the contest, but
I don't think anybody got above two. And then there
was Burt. Burt could You didn't have to pay to participate.
So Bert sat up there in ate one port chop
and his wife cheered from the crowd at Bert eating
(17:51):
his one pork chop at his own slow pace like
a baller. It ended up being the second most remarked
event of the day. The most remarked being Robert Reeese,
who said he went home and was meet sick for
twelve hours afterwards. Because that's a lot of pork chops,
all right, Bert. So now the guy's going to arrest you.
(18:11):
And I've spoken to criminal defense attorneys this weekend. I've
talked to Dan Cogdell, I've talked to cops. I've talked
to a lot of people with details of this case.
And this was at most a ticket, and yet you
get arrested, which we're going to find out there are
reasons for that, and this officer, Joseph Paul Jamison, should
(18:35):
be ashamed of himself. But all right, So he announces
to you that you're under arrest, and he reads you
your Miranda rights and take it from there.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Right. So she tells me I'm under arrest, and he's
asked me. I don't remember exactly, but I know at
this point at least once, maybe twice, what have I
ever been in trouble for? And it was in a
really accusatory way his tone. But again, he doesn't know me,
so I don't judge that, and I'm complying. I answer
(19:05):
him and I say, man, I haven't had a ticket.
My driving records cleaned for twenty years. Sometime in the nineties.
I don't remember the date. I had a traffic ticket
that I didn't pay and it turned into a warrant
and I got stopped again for bad registration or whatever,
and I got arrested for it, and you know, and
I was out the next day. And that's it. I've
never been in trouble for anything. Nothing. And you know me,
(19:28):
I'm a friend of the police. If I'd have seen
Deputy Jamison at Rudy's that night, I would have bought
his dinner and told him, hey, thanks for the job
you're doing. And so he tells me I'm under arrest,
and you know, he won't. I asked him, you know,
can you let my wife or my friends take the truck?
And he says, nope, we're towing it. And I asked
(19:50):
you if he'd put it on a flat bed so
he wouldn't damage it, and he wouldn't do that, and whatever.
That's all fine, But so where he's taken me to
jail and we're we're on the way to Cyprus. Would
and he asked me again, and and the way the
he says, who's handled you before, and that's something I've
never heard, but I assumed he meant where I've been,
you know, locked up or in jail, and I said, nowhere.
(20:12):
I've never been, never been in trouble for anybody, and
he kind of nodded his head, you know, hmm. And
and we get to Cypress Wood and.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
We go in and.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
And the the booking officer was there and he you know,
checks me and searches me, and h takes my shoes
off and has me sit down and does smoke shots
and fingerprints and and him and Deputy Jamison are going
back and forth talking while while we're doing this, and
the booking officers is asking me questions, you know, verify
(20:43):
your address, verify your social and all these different things.
And he sees the mare asked me about when I
was arrested in the nineties, and I explained it to him.
He said, yeah, I see that here. And he said, well,
that's all I see on you. And I said, yes, sir,
that's it. And then Jamison speaks up and says, well,
are you going to tell him about Ohio? And I said,
I don't know what you're talking about Ohio. And he
(21:04):
tells j officer or Deputy Jamison tells the booking officer
he's got d w i's and some kind of domestic
violence and assault, and there's a sealed FBI or there's
an FBI file that I couldn't open in Ohio. And
my mind is racing, going what is he talking about
right now? I mean, heck, I might have driven through
(21:26):
Ohio before on the way, you know, to New York
or something like that, but I have no business in Ohio.
And so the booking officer starts really digging in his
computer and asking me more questions to verify who I am,
and we do and and he says, and at this time,
Deputy Jamison is doing uh he's around the corner. I
(21:46):
can't exactly see him, but he's on another computer doing
a report. And I don't know if he did two
reports or if it's a two part report. But the
booking officer says, hey, did you already send that? And
he goes, well, I sent the first places sent or saved,
but I haven't done a second. When yet he goes, hey,
don't send that. Hold on, stop, don't send it. He said,
(22:07):
I can't find any of that in here. I think
there's a mistake. And Jamison says, no, no, no, it's
there for sure. It's there. And he says he says, well,
I can't find it here. And he goes, it's still
up in my unit, in my patrol unit on the computer.
And he goes, well, why don't you go back out
there and double check that. So he goes outside and
(22:29):
you know, just being the booking officer sitting there, and
he goes, man, this doesn't seem something's not something's not
right between these two computer systems. And I told him,
I can assure you it's a mistaken identity. That is
not meth Something happened. And Jamison comes back in and
he says, yeah, I figured it out. I don't. I
(22:52):
couldn't hear him really well. Either said I transposed a
birthday or a number. He did something wrong when he
entered it. And he found this Robert Harvey in Ohio.
And so they both go over to the computer that
Deputy Jamison was doing the report on and they were
(23:12):
trying to go back to take it off of what
he had already submitted, and the system wouldn't let him backtrack.
They couldn't do it. It was already gone, and he looked
and he finished his report, but he said, well, don't
send this one with it, so he took it off
of whatever it was he was currently working on to
finish it. And I, you know, I'm like, hey, guys, so,
(23:37):
what's what's the deal with that? And you know, with
my charges? And he says, well, you're still charged, and
you're still under arrest, you know, Jamison for for reckless driving.
And and this is the thing that really has me concerned.
He's charging me with unlawful carry of a weapon. And
I told him I have a licensed to carry that's current,
(24:02):
and I've never been in trouble. I don't have any FELLO,
any any kind of criminal record. So now in Texas
even constitutional carry both ways, I can have my weapon
on me and I was completely compliant.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Hold right there, Hold her right there. More of this story,
this crazy story with Bert Harvey coming up, Trump Partland
to Walbany, all great cities in between. The Michael Barry
Show is nationwide. I told my wife that we were
(24:38):
going to start calling you into jail birds, Harvey. She
didn't think that was very funny because she's very protective
of Burt. So to catch you up to speed if
you just tuned in about our friend Bert Harvey and
him being jailed for over thirty hours. He's pulling out
of a parking lot with the sixteen year old son
in the truck and he doesn't burn out because there
(25:00):
at a car show car gathering at Rudy's Barbecue out
off two forty nine, and there's a cop who doesn't
see it, but here's it pulls up and when he
runs the record, he puts in the wrong Robert Harvey
because Bert Harvey is actually Robert Harvey, and he puts
in the wrong Robert Harvey, gets the wrong birthdate. And
(25:22):
Robert Harvey in Ohio is a bad guy. He's got
a history of assault DUI domestic violence, and I believe
there's more than one blessed domestic vince. I don't have
the report in front of me, but I have the report,
and he's got an FBI file. This is a bad guy,
a very bad guy, the kind of guy that we
get angry when they get released. So he thinks he's
(25:42):
got a bad guy and he's just got him for
what would otherwise just be a ticketable defense called it
reckless driving. It's just a burnout. He just burned the tires.
So he brings him to Soprswood substation, where the other
officer runs it and says, no, no, no, no, this
isn't that guy. The officer, Deputy J. Jamison, Harris County
Shriff's deputy says, oh, you're right, it's not that Bird Harvey,
(26:05):
or it's not that Robert Harvey. At that point, the
right thing to do is go, sir, I brought you
down here, not for all that I bought you. Brought
you down here because I thought you were a really
bad guy. I was doing my job. I apologize. Can
I buy you a cup of coffee? That's the right
thing to do. He made a mistake, and guess what,
it's gonna happen. And that does not make Jamison a
bad guy. But from this point forward he's a bad
(26:27):
guy because rather than admit his mistake, what does he do?
He pushes on, Well, we're still gonna get you for
reckless driving. That's the burnout in a private parking lot
where the people were up on the curb because they
begged him to do it. He gets him for failure
to signal, failure to signal coming out onto a one
(26:47):
way street. Was anybody doubting he was going to the
left if you know where that is, you can only
go northwest on two forty nine at that spot. You
can't go anywhere else. Failure to signal, attacking crap on.
And the worst part the gun charge. And Burt, why
don't you explain what he said was the reason for
(27:08):
the gun charge.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Yeah, he told me that because I was endangering people's
lives and other motor vehicles. He also on his report
he put in that I was doing donuts and circles
burning out and why was not There's a video what
I did. It's a little ten or fifteen foot straight
line burnout and I turned out of the parking lot.
And also in the video you can see him. I'm
(27:37):
pointing I guess north northwest, and he's going south on
the other side of the road, and he rolls up
to the light, so I'm actually he's behind me facing
the other direction, but he heard me, so he couldn't
see me anyway, but he heard it. And then he
did a direct U turn and that's where he pulled
me over. And you know, instead of the report just
saying that I had spun my tires or done a burnout.
(27:58):
His report says that I was doing donuts in a
parking line, which I.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Didn't, which is not true, and we have video. But
by the way, we have the video of them. It's
a rather unimpressive burnout, for all the for all the
problems it's casted, your truth be told. We can get
to why that is in just a moment. But I'm
told the unlawful carrying of a weapon the u c
W is because you're you're possessing a gun even if
(28:23):
you have a license or even in a constitutional carry
while committing a crime, which the crime is the reckless driving.
I'm also told by officers DA's criminal defense attorneys alike
that this would never be charged, that this this nobody
would would bring that gun charge for a burnout, as
if you were using the gun to in some way
(28:45):
additionally endanger people who got in front of you while
you did while you basically uh, you know, burning the tires,
all right, So now they take you down. The decision
is made. Uh, we're the one guy at Cyprus would
say it's not a good decision. The deputy he's in
deep now, so he's going to push this thing on
so now they tell what happens from there.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Yeah, so after this revelation, I'm hoping in the back
of my mind that maybe he's going to say, hey,
let me call the DA back and give all the
information now, and maybe i'd get cut loose. I called
somebody to come pick me up and pay three hundred
bucks to get my truck out of jail, and that'd
be the end of the night. But nope, no, that
wasn't the case. So they put me in a cell
and wait and transport comes, and then they transport us downtown.
(29:31):
We get downtown, and you know, they shackle you. They
put shackles on your feet and handcuffs on you, and
you all go in a chain game line.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
And I think it's worth noting, because Jamison's the only
bad guy in all this, that you did tell me that,
because I made a note that the van ride, you
normally get carsick, but the driver was a really good driver,
and you complimented him on being a good driver.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
I sure did so, sitting in the cell thinking about
the ride, I've seen those vands going down the road
and you're in a combined space with noe windows, and uh,
you know, I know it's bumpy, and I'm like, man,
I hope this guy is not on the gas. Off
the gas, you know, hard turning. It would suck to
get sick. And no, this dude smooth, smooth, smooth, so correct.
(30:17):
And uh, you know they take your take your your
shirt and your shoes and give you a orange shirt
and give you some crocs and get you upstairs, and uh,
there's all the guys around me. Most everybody I talked
to was there for either a d w I or
small amounts of drugs, mostly weed, or they had violated
(30:37):
something while they were on probation or parole with weed
or alcohol or whatever. And they were all laughing about
my charge. Ah ha ha, you got put in jail
for a burnout. They didn't believe it that. They were like,
that's ridiculous. There's no way you're here for that, and.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
We're uh.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
The jail was a surprise for me when we got upstairs.
It's a big room, maybe ten thousand square feet, may
be a little more, and it has rows of chairs
the same things you would have in the airport terminal,
you know, the just a row of five or ten
chairs with the metal arm rests between them. But they're
not padded. There's carpet on the floor and it's just
(31:15):
wide open and everybody sits down. And the other thing
that surprised me there's blue chairs and there's some maroon
red chairs. The men and the women are in the
same room together, so you're you're in jail together. The
uh you know, you walk around and talk to people.
There's lots of phones. You can use the phone anytime
you want. And it is it's slow in there. Everything
(31:38):
is is takes a long time, everything measured in hours.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Hold on just a second. Burt Bert Harvey's Tails from
Jail will continue. We have hosted to the website at
Michael Berryshow dot com. Once he got out and we
were okay with all this, although the gun charge does
obviously worry him. We had a lot of conversations over
the weekend about a free Burt movement, and we have
(32:06):
a graphic created and shirts and mugs and the like
being made. If you go to Michael Berryshow dot com
and go to our merchandise page, you can see it
for yourself and all proceeds whatever they may be for
this line, which normally would go to Ramon and Jim
and Darryl and Chad will go to the Bert Harvey
(32:29):
Defense Fund so that he can buy his gun back.
By the way, it's eight hundred dollars gun and he's
not really happy he doesn't have it, but more with
him coming up,
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Michael Varry Show is on the air. Maybe you can
just go back, go back. Yeah, pretend like it never happened.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Let me just walking to the staff meeting on Monday
morning like it never happened.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Sure, you're an emotional person. People don't take you seriously.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
Just go back.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Pretend the whole thing never happened. Never happened. I was
blowing off a little steam. So what so what you're
entitled unemotional? That's right, You're emotional. Never happened. Do you
think that it's respectful? What on succumb to the Oval
(00:54):
Office of the United States of America and attack the
administration that is trying to try to prevent the destruction.
You're a lot of questions. Let's start from the biginn
suor fills to wall during the war. Everybody has problems,
even you. But you have nice ocean and don't feel now,
but you don't feel it in the future. Bless, you're
(01:15):
not bless. You don't tell us what we're gonna feel.
We're trying to solve a problem. Don't tell us what
we're gonna feel. I'm not telling you because you're in
no position to dictate, that is that what you're in.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
No position to dictate what we're gonna feel.
Speaker 5 (01:30):
We're gonna feel very good, feel influence.
Speaker 4 (01:32):
We're gonna feel very good, very strong. You're right now
not in a very good position.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
You've allowed you to be in a.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Very bad positions to be right.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
About the very beginning of the war.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Not in a good position. You don't have the cards
right now with us. You start having calls right now.
You see billions of people.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
See gambling with world War three.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
You're gambling with world War three.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
You got to know when the whole of them no,
when the fold, no, when the wall, and when to run? Juniver,
count your old bunny, when you're sitting at the table.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
There will be time enough to count when the dealers done.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
All I can say is this, he might have broken
deals with Obama and Bush, and he might have broken
him with by he did maybe maybe he did.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
I don't know what happened. But he didn't break him
with me. He wants to make a deal. I don't
know if he can make a deal.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
The problem is I've empowered you to be a tough guy,
and I don't think you'd be a tough guy without
the United States, and your people.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Are very brave.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
But you're either going to make a deal or we're out.
And if we're out, you'll fight it out.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
I don't think it's.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Gonna be pretty, but you'll fight it out.
Speaker 2 (03:00):
You don't have the cards. But once we sign that deal,
you're in.
Speaker 4 (03:03):
A much better position.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
But you're not acting at all thankful. And that's not
a nice thing.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
I'll be honest, that's not a nice thing.
Speaker 5 (03:10):
You got no the home, no wind, the folder, no when.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
The ark, and no to run jun come when you're
sitting the.
Speaker 6 (03:26):
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessen says when he was in the
Oval office during the meeting with Zelensky on Friday, and
he said it was Zelensky who blew up the negotiations.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
And I think he's right in this part that Ukraine
does not want peace.
Speaker 7 (03:45):
Okay, Well, it's news to me that this was that
the sequencing is shifting. That you were saying you have
to agree to a peace deal before the minerals agreement.
There aren't even negotiations for a peace deal on your.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
First it's not a minerals agreement, it's a general economic agreement.
So calling your mentals agreement is incorrect, and I think
we have to see if President Silensky wants to proceed.
What's what's the use in having an economic agreement that's
going to be rendered moot if he wants the fighting
to continue.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
President Trump wants a peace steal Vladimir Putin.
Speaker 7 (04:19):
It's unclear if he wants a peace steel though there
are no negotiations under why. The Secretary of State said
that on another network this morning.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Yeah, and President Trump.
Speaker 3 (04:26):
President Trump has said that President Trump is trying to
move forwards peace.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
He said repeatedly.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
During during that episode in the Oval, we don't know
if we'll get a peace steel, but we.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Got to try, Okay.
Speaker 7 (04:39):
Last Sunday, President Trump's envoy Steve Whitcoff said on another
network that the plan for negotiations was the so called
draft is done bul protocol. The Institute for the Study
of Wars is that this would leave Ukraine helpless in
the face of future thresh Russian threats or aggression. If
that's described as the future of US diplomacy and the framework,
(05:03):
why isn't mister Zelenski asking the right question when he says,
how can I agree to a ceasfire with no security guarantees,
or even a minerals agreement or investment agreement without security guarantees.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Well, look, I think the plan is for the European
Union to provide this security, not NATO, the European Union.
And again the tragedy of Friday, and I don't know
what President Zelenski was thinking. We had President of France
Emmanuel Macron in on Monday, great meeting. We had Prime
Minister kir Stammer on Thursday, fantastic meeting.
Speaker 2 (05:38):
They were all on board the arc of the peace agreement.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
All President Zelensky had to do was come in and
sign this economic agreement and again show no daylight, no
daylight between the Ukrainian people and the American people, and
he chose to blow that up.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
So the deal is no longer on the table.
Speaker 7 (05:56):
Just to be abundantly clear, not at present.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
Victor Davis Hanson wrote an excellent piece On's behavior, and
he says, I won't read you all of it, but
he points out a number of things, and I thought
this was very good. Where he noted that the people
(06:20):
who are Zelenski's aiders and a Better's and advisors and
counselors supporters. All of those people are out of power.
This is the guy who in October came to Pennsylvania
to campaign for Kamala Harris in violation of our election laws.
(06:45):
That was foreign interference. There were British members of parliament
who did the same, labor leaders. So you got the
Obama Clinton Biden gang, the people who've been running the
country for the last four years and in large part
for law longer than that, coupled with the Republicans who
(07:06):
hate and secretly want this war to continue for their
own reasons. I'll remind you there's there's a video I
watched this weekend of John McCain in Kiev in twenty
thirteen talking about American assistance for Ukraine in a in
(07:27):
toppling the leader, the duly elected leader who was aligned
with Russia at the time. You know, it's not the
case as some will tell you, that Ukraine is somehow
some foreign country that has that Russia is trying to
keep to the core. The actual word Ukraine means the outskirt.
(07:54):
Ukraine was as original to the Russian Empire. And by
the way, we're proud of our country, we're proud of
our history, we're proud of our victories. The Russians are
as well, and it's immature and silly to assume that
(08:14):
we're getting all the information that well. I got a
story on Bert Harvey being arrested coming up. You're gonna
you're gonna want to hear this. Everyone listens to Michael
Verry show. If you were a member of the RCC
in the early days and you came around much, and
(08:37):
especially if you were involved in helping to build it
or volunteer appreciation, volunteer efforts, you know Bert Harvey. The
quick story, because I want to get into the real
story is if you remember Albert Wood. I get a
call from Jeff McShann. There's an elderly man marine World
(08:58):
War Two veteran is how has been torn asunder. His
wife died two weeks ago. He comes home from a
doctor's appointment. Lord knows what he was doing driving at
ninety years old, ninety two, I believe, and I get
him on the phone and I decide we're going to
repair his home. Where we rebuilt his home and he
ended up being close to four hundred thousand dollars worth
(09:18):
of worth of things donated. The home was it was
a it was a It was a tired old home
that now all of a sudden was something we could
be proud that he was living in. And so many
of you participated.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Well.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
The day I went, I said, anybody's interested in participating?
The day I went, And in the front lawn when
I arrived, there were there were you couldn't get down
the street. It was an open ditch street and really
only a lane and a half wide, and there were
trucks everywhere. I said, look, guys, I do two shows
a day. I can't run this job. I need somebody
to be the point for this. And I figured I'd
(09:52):
look around and nobody want to do it. And this guy,
who I later would find out is Bird Harvey steps
forwards us. I'll do it. And he did. And he
did that, and shortly thereafter he left Gee and Holmes
where he was a home builder, very well regarded for
this homebuilder, and started his own construction company renovations or pairs,
those sorts of things on a shoes train. Didn't tell
(10:13):
me about it. Even when he left. It was a
little while l he said, I didn't want you to
worry about me. When he got on his feet, he
tells me about it. He built the RCC for me,
and he's done work for me over the years. I've
sent him to a lot of people. If obviously I
have a show sponsor, all Star Construction, and they do
bigger jobs, but for smaller jobs, I've always sent Burt
and he's done very well. And he's like family. I mean,
(10:35):
my kids have He's watched my kids grow up. You
know this is this is a guy has a key
to our home in our checkbook. You trust somebody at
that point, you like somebody. I've watched his kids grow up.
His wife Sarah and a very active member of the RCC,
and so many of you know him and have known
him over the years. Anyway, so we were set on
Thursday afternoon, we have a conversation and we're going to
(10:58):
meet on Friday in between the morning and the evening
show because I had a project, little project for him
to do at the studio and I wanted to see
what he thought about it. And he was going to
come over in the afternoon and meet me at the
studio and we would we would go over it. Well,
lo and behold, I get an email from his wife,
subject line Bert Help, and Bert had been arrested and
(11:22):
was in jail and we couldn't speak to him. And
that's not supposed to happen to one of my friends. Right. Well,
here's the story of Bert's thirty hours in jail. Bert
Harvey is our guest.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Bert.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
So Thursday night you go to a car meet at
Rudy's Barbecue and tom Ball off two forty nine. Why
don't you get us started? And I'll interrupt, right.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
So, we have a little truck for my sixteen year
old Sean. We've been putting it together for him and
he likes, you know, cars like we do. So we
decided to drive from Crosby out to Tomball to have
dinner and hang out with the car meet. And we
did have dinner, and when we left, we wanted a
cruise around some more. So we drove over to my
(12:06):
friend Mark's tattoo shop, hitting gym Over in Cyprus and
hung out there for a little bit. He got to
be about nine o'clock and we decided let's let's go
back home. You know, kids have stuff Tomorrow, I gotta
I gotta be at work. We got to work at
Gringos the next day and all of that, and when
I was backing out of my parking space, one of
my buddies yelled, do a burnout, and I did so,
(12:28):
I you know, I spun the tires for ten or
fifteen feet and I drove forward and went to pull
out of the parking lot. And I looked and there
was a sheriff's officer. He had he had done a
U turn and was you know, right there. And I'm like, ah,
this guy's gonna I'm stupid. I'm about to get a ticket. So,
you know, I pull out and pull right back in
(12:48):
the parking lot and he pulls in behind me, and uh,
I turned the truck off and roll the windows down
and turn the interior life on, all the stuff you're
supposed to, you know, put my hands where he can
see them. And he comes over and ask me if
I know why why he was there, and I said
for sure, you know, yeah, I was stupid, and uh
I hand him my driver's license and my license to carry,
(13:11):
and he goes back to his car, and I'm my
sixteen year old sons with me, and he says, you know, Dad,
what's gonna happen. I said, I We're gonna get a ticket.
Maybe maybe we'll get a warning, but probably we're gonna
get ridden for this. So he comes back and he
asked me to get out of the truck, and uh,
he said, I'm going to detain you. And he puts
(13:32):
me in cuffs. And I thought, well, maybe he's he's
gonna be a little bit of a bully and show me.
You know that this isn't this isn't that light of
a thing. I should take it seriously. And he takes
me and sticks me in his car, and then I
can hear him on the on his computer. You know,
I can't see exactly what he's doing. He's up there
(13:52):
typing and typing and typing, and then he gets on
the phone and uh, now I know now that he
was on the phone with the DA, and he was
on the phone with the DA for a long time,
and you know.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
He took my gun from me and all that in
a little while later. By long time, I think it
was forty five minutes or more.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Maybe, yeah, thirty to forty five minutes to old that
he's going off the phone.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
He's determined to get charges on you.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
I believe so. Yes, And during this time, my wife
has walked over Sarah and another friend of mine that
was there because you know, Sean was still in the truck.
And Sean was looking at his mom like do I
get out? And she said no, no, no, you just
stay there. Do what the officer says. Well, then is
Officer Jamison. So he goes over and and he gets
Sean out of the truck, and Sarah said, hey, I'm
(14:39):
his mom. He's sixteen, he's a minor. You know I
can take custody of him. And he said, you know,
this is my investigation. And you know that understandable. He
doesn't know us, he doesn't know what's going on. So
he said, you know, get stayble and you get in tom.
I do I have tattoos? So so he put Sean
in handcuffs and I was like, oh man, this is
(15:00):
too far. You know, don't he's sixteen year old. But anyways,
he puts him in handcuffs and sticks him in a
car and and he gets back on the phone again,
and also because Sarah and Forrest had walked up, he
called for other units. And I don't know exactly how many.
I couldn't see everything because I was in the back
of the car before us. Your friend, to be clear,
(15:22):
he's my friend, Yes, yes, sir, we've been for instance,
we were kids, all right. So these other units show
up and then he takes Sean out of the car
with me and stuffs him in another unit. And Sarah
was protesting, like, hey, he he was a passenger who
didn't do anything. Why do you have him detained in
handcuffs in the back of a police car. He's a kid.
(15:44):
And eventually he did let Sean go, but man, he
stayed on the phone, uh with this, with this da
for a long time. And then he finally comes back
and he says, I'm gonna go ahead and place you
under arrest. And really, all the way up until this point.
Speaker 2 (16:02):
All that thought, all that thought, because it gets it
gets really interesting coming out here, was that just not
an option for you? I was young ambitions, Michael Berry.
I was just young and ambitious and I love women. Hey,
you came knot no man for loving women? A man.
(16:25):
I've got friends that dress up nice and wear a
tie and speak to Queen's English. But I got a
whole lot more friends that are plumbers and electricians and
plant workers. And if you saw the jokes they're emailing
me right now about Bert bean Intail, it's it's all
(16:45):
in good fun, but my goodness alive, y'all would be
very embarrassed if you knew. I will remind y'all for
those of y'all who came to the pork chop eating
contest at the RCC. We had these big pork chops
and we decided that we would have a pork shop
eating contest, and our seller Robert Reese won it. And
(17:09):
he didn't just win it. He ate eight of them.
And these weren't the little chiletta you get at the
little tacoia. These were big honking pork chops and he
would do a push up in between each one that
he ate. Billy Stagner came in second place with three.
(17:29):
To put it into perspective, and Billy can throw down
some food. There were other people in the contest, but
I don't think anybody got above two. And then there
was Burt. Burt could You didn't have to pay to participate.
So Bert sat up there in ate one port chop
and his wife cheered from the crowd at Bert eating
(17:51):
his one pork chop at his own slow pace like
a baller. It ended up being the second most remarked
event of the day. The most remarked being Robert Reeese,
who said he went home and was meet sick for
twelve hours afterwards. Because that's a lot of pork chops,
all right, Bert. So now the guy's going to arrest you.
(18:11):
And I've spoken to criminal defense attorneys this weekend. I've
talked to Dan Cogdell, I've talked to cops. I've talked
to a lot of people with details of this case.
And this was at most a ticket, and yet you
get arrested, which we're going to find out there are
reasons for that, and this officer, Joseph Paul Jamison, should
(18:35):
be ashamed of himself. But all right, So he announces
to you that you're under arrest, and he reads you
your Miranda rights and take it from there.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
Right. So she tells me I'm under arrest, and he's
asked me. I don't remember exactly, but I know at
this point at least once, maybe twice, what have I
ever been in trouble for? And it was in a
really accusatory way his tone. But again, he doesn't know me,
so I don't judge that, and I'm complying. I answer
(19:05):
him and I say, man, I haven't had a ticket.
My driving records cleaned for twenty years. Sometime in the nineties.
I don't remember the date. I had a traffic ticket
that I didn't pay and it turned into a warrant
and I got stopped again for bad registration or whatever,
and I got arrested for it, and you know, and
I was out the next day. And that's it. I've
never been in trouble for anything. Nothing. And you know me,
(19:28):
I'm a friend of the police. If I'd have seen
Deputy Jamison at Rudy's that night, I would have bought
his dinner and told him, hey, thanks for the job
you're doing. And so he tells me I'm under arrest,
and you know, he won't. I asked him, you know,
can you let my wife or my friends take the truck?
And he says, nope, we're towing it. And I asked
(19:50):
you if he'd put it on a flat bed so
he wouldn't damage it, and he wouldn't do that, and whatever.
That's all fine, But so where he's taken me to
jail and we're we're on the way to Cyprus. Would
and he asked me again, and and the way the
he says, who's handled you before, and that's something I've
never heard, but I assumed he meant where I've been,
you know, locked up or in jail, and I said, nowhere.
(20:12):
I've never been, never been in trouble for anybody, and
he kind of nodded his head, you know, hmm. And
and we get to Cypress Wood and.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
We go in and.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
And the the booking officer was there and he you know,
checks me and searches me, and h takes my shoes
off and has me sit down and does smoke shots
and fingerprints and and him and Deputy Jamison are going
back and forth talking while while we're doing this, and
the booking officers is asking me questions, you know, verify
(20:43):
your address, verify your social and all these different things.
And he sees the mare asked me about when I
was arrested in the nineties, and I explained it to him.
He said, yeah, I see that here. And he said, well,
that's all I see on you. And I said, yes, sir,
that's it. And then Jamison speaks up and says, well,
are you going to tell him about Ohio? And I said,
I don't know what you're talking about Ohio. And he
(21:04):
tells j officer or Deputy Jamison tells the booking officer
he's got d w i's and some kind of domestic
violence and assault, and there's a sealed FBI or there's
an FBI file that I couldn't open in Ohio. And
my mind is racing, going what is he talking about
right now? I mean, heck, I might have driven through
(21:26):
Ohio before on the way, you know, to New York
or something like that, but I have no business in Ohio.
And so the booking officer starts really digging in his
computer and asking me more questions to verify who I am,
and we do and and he says, and at this time,
Deputy Jamison is doing uh he's around the corner. I
(21:46):
can't exactly see him, but he's on another computer doing
a report. And I don't know if he did two
reports or if it's a two part report. But the
booking officer says, hey, did you already send that? And
he goes, well, I sent the first places sent or saved,
but I haven't done a second. When yet he goes, hey,
don't send that. Hold on, stop, don't send it. He said,
(22:07):
I can't find any of that in here. I think
there's a mistake. And Jamison says, no, no, no, it's
there for sure. It's there. And he says he says, well,
I can't find it here. And he goes, it's still
up in my unit, in my patrol unit on the computer.
And he goes, well, why don't you go back out
there and double check that. So he goes outside and
(22:29):
you know, just being the booking officer sitting there, and
he goes, man, this doesn't seem something's not something's not
right between these two computer systems. And I told him,
I can assure you it's a mistaken identity. That is
not meth Something happened. And Jamison comes back in and
he says, yeah, I figured it out. I don't. I
(22:52):
couldn't hear him really well. Either said I transposed a
birthday or a number. He did something wrong when he
entered it. And he found this Robert Harvey in Ohio.
And so they both go over to the computer that
Deputy Jamison was doing the report on and they were
(23:12):
trying to go back to take it off of what
he had already submitted, and the system wouldn't let him backtrack.
They couldn't do it. It was already gone, and he looked
and he finished his report, but he said, well, don't
send this one with it, so he took it off
of whatever it was he was currently working on to
finish it. And I, you know, I'm like, hey, guys, so,
(23:37):
what's what's the deal with that? And you know, with
my charges? And he says, well, you're still charged, and
you're still under arrest, you know, Jamison for for reckless driving.
And and this is the thing that really has me concerned.
He's charging me with unlawful carry of a weapon. And
I told him I have a licensed to carry that's current,
(24:02):
and I've never been in trouble. I don't have any FELLO,
any any kind of criminal record. So now in Texas
even constitutional carry both ways, I can have my weapon
on me and I was completely compliant.
Speaker 2 (24:14):
Hold right there, Hold her right there. More of this story,
this crazy story with Bert Harvey coming up, Trump Partland
to Walbany, all great cities in between. The Michael Barry
Show is nationwide. I told my wife that we were
(24:38):
going to start calling you into jail birds, Harvey. She
didn't think that was very funny because she's very protective
of Burt. So to catch you up to speed if
you just tuned in about our friend Bert Harvey and
him being jailed for over thirty hours. He's pulling out
of a parking lot with the sixteen year old son
in the truck and he doesn't burn out because there
(25:00):
at a car show car gathering at Rudy's Barbecue out
off two forty nine, and there's a cop who doesn't
see it, but here's it pulls up and when he
runs the record, he puts in the wrong Robert Harvey
because Bert Harvey is actually Robert Harvey, and he puts
in the wrong Robert Harvey, gets the wrong birthdate. And
(25:22):
Robert Harvey in Ohio is a bad guy. He's got
a history of assault DUI domestic violence, and I believe
there's more than one blessed domestic vince. I don't have
the report in front of me, but I have the report,
and he's got an FBI file. This is a bad guy,
a very bad guy, the kind of guy that we
get angry when they get released. So he thinks he's
(25:42):
got a bad guy and he's just got him for
what would otherwise just be a ticketable defense called it
reckless driving. It's just a burnout. He just burned the tires.
So he brings him to Soprswood substation, where the other
officer runs it and says, no, no, no, no, this
isn't that guy. The officer, Deputy J. Jamison, Harris County
Shriff's deputy says, oh, you're right, it's not that Bird Harvey,
(26:05):
or it's not that Robert Harvey. At that point, the
right thing to do is go, sir, I brought you
down here, not for all that I bought you. Brought
you down here because I thought you were a really
bad guy. I was doing my job. I apologize. Can
I buy you a cup of coffee? That's the right
thing to do. He made a mistake, and guess what,
it's gonna happen. And that does not make Jamison a
bad guy. But from this point forward he's a bad
(26:27):
guy because rather than admit his mistake, what does he do?
He pushes on, Well, we're still gonna get you for
reckless driving. That's the burnout in a private parking lot
where the people were up on the curb because they
begged him to do it. He gets him for failure
to signal, failure to signal coming out onto a one
(26:47):
way street. Was anybody doubting he was going to the
left if you know where that is, you can only
go northwest on two forty nine at that spot. You
can't go anywhere else. Failure to signal, attacking crap on.
And the worst part the gun charge. And Burt, why
don't you explain what he said was the reason for
(27:08):
the gun charge.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
Yeah, he told me that because I was endangering people's
lives and other motor vehicles. He also on his report
he put in that I was doing donuts and circles
burning out and why was not There's a video what
I did. It's a little ten or fifteen foot straight
line burnout and I turned out of the parking lot.
And also in the video you can see him. I'm
(27:37):
pointing I guess north northwest, and he's going south on
the other side of the road, and he rolls up
to the light, so I'm actually he's behind me facing
the other direction, but he heard me, so he couldn't
see me anyway, but he heard it. And then he
did a direct U turn and that's where he pulled
me over. And you know, instead of the report just
saying that I had spun my tires or done a burnout.
(27:58):
His report says that I was doing donuts in a
parking line, which I.
Speaker 2 (28:02):
Didn't, which is not true, and we have video. But
by the way, we have the video of them. It's
a rather unimpressive burnout, for all the for all the
problems it's casted, your truth be told. We can get
to why that is in just a moment. But I'm
told the unlawful carrying of a weapon the u c
W is because you're you're possessing a gun even if
(28:23):
you have a license or even in a constitutional carry
while committing a crime, which the crime is the reckless driving.
I'm also told by officers DA's criminal defense attorneys alike
that this would never be charged, that this this nobody
would would bring that gun charge for a burnout, as
if you were using the gun to in some way
(28:45):
additionally endanger people who got in front of you while
you did while you basically uh, you know, burning the tires,
all right, So now they take you down. The decision
is made. Uh, we're the one guy at Cyprus would
say it's not a good decision. The deputy he's in
deep now, so he's going to push this thing on
so now they tell what happens from there.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Yeah, so after this revelation, I'm hoping in the back
of my mind that maybe he's going to say, hey,
let me call the DA back and give all the
information now, and maybe i'd get cut loose. I called
somebody to come pick me up and pay three hundred
bucks to get my truck out of jail, and that'd
be the end of the night. But nope, no, that
wasn't the case. So they put me in a cell
and wait and transport comes, and then they transport us downtown.
(29:31):
We get downtown, and you know, they shackle you. They
put shackles on your feet and handcuffs on you, and
you all go in a chain game line.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
And I think it's worth noting, because Jamison's the only
bad guy in all this, that you did tell me that,
because I made a note that the van ride, you
normally get carsick, but the driver was a really good driver,
and you complimented him on being a good driver.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
I sure did so, sitting in the cell thinking about
the ride, I've seen those vands going down the road
and you're in a combined space with noe windows, and uh,
you know, I know it's bumpy, and I'm like, man,
I hope this guy is not on the gas. Off
the gas, you know, hard turning. It would suck to
get sick. And no, this dude smooth, smooth, smooth, so correct.
(30:17):
And uh, you know they take your take your your
shirt and your shoes and give you a orange shirt
and give you some crocs and get you upstairs, and uh,
there's all the guys around me. Most everybody I talked
to was there for either a d w I or
small amounts of drugs, mostly weed, or they had violated
(30:37):
something while they were on probation or parole with weed
or alcohol or whatever. And they were all laughing about
my charge. Ah ha ha, you got put in jail
for a burnout. They didn't believe it that. They were like,
that's ridiculous. There's no way you're here for that, and.
Speaker 2 (30:52):
We're uh.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
The jail was a surprise for me when we got upstairs.
It's a big room, maybe ten thousand square feet, may
be a little more, and it has rows of chairs
the same things you would have in the airport terminal,
you know, the just a row of five or ten
chairs with the metal arm rests between them. But they're
not padded. There's carpet on the floor and it's just
(31:15):
wide open and everybody sits down. And the other thing
that surprised me there's blue chairs and there's some maroon
red chairs. The men and the women are in the
same room together, so you're you're in jail together. The
uh you know, you walk around and talk to people.
There's lots of phones. You can use the phone anytime
you want. And it is it's slow in there. Everything
(31:38):
is is takes a long time, everything measured in hours.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
Hold on just a second. Burt Bert Harvey's Tails from
Jail will continue. We have hosted to the website at
Michael Berryshow dot com. Once he got out and we
were okay with all this, although the gun charge does
obviously worry him. We had a lot of conversations over
the weekend about a free Burt movement, and we have
(32:06):
a graphic created and shirts and mugs and the like
being made. If you go to Michael Berryshow dot com
and go to our merchandise page, you can see it
for yourself and all proceeds whatever they may be for
this line, which normally would go to Ramon and Jim
and Darryl and Chad will go to the Bert Harvey
(32:29):
Defense Fund so that he can buy his gun back.
By the way, it's eight hundred dollars gun and he's
not really happy he doesn't have it, but more with
him coming up,
