Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. So
Michael Dari Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
What you represent to them is freedom?
Speaker 1 (00:18):
What the hell's were with freedom? And that's what it's
all about.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Oh yeah, that's right, that's what it's all about, all right.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
But talking about it and being it, it's two different things.
Speaker 5 (00:28):
Well, he was standing in a country where free speech was.
Speaker 6 (00:31):
Weaponized to conduct a genocide.
Speaker 7 (00:34):
The free speech was not used to conduct a genocide.
The genocide was conducted by an authoritarian Nazi regime that
happened to also be genocidal because they hated Jews, and
they hated minorities, and they hated those that they had
a list of people they hated, but primarily the Jews.
There was no free speech in Nazi Germany.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
There was none.
Speaker 7 (00:50):
There was also no opposition in Nazi Germany. They were
a sole and only party that governed that country. So
that's not an accurate reflection of history.
Speaker 8 (00:57):
They may take our lives, but don't know, okaymes Wed.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
And bird.
Speaker 8 (01:27):
Duke, And unfortunately, when I look at Europe today, it's
sometimes not so clear what happened to some of the
Cold Wars winners. I looked to Brussels, where you commissioned
(01:50):
commissars Warren citizens that they intend to shut down social
media during times of civil unrest the moment they spot
what they've judged to be quote hateful content. Or to
this very country where police have carried out raids against
citizens suspected of posting anti feminist comments online as part
of quote combating misogyny on the Internet a day of action.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
I looked to Sweden, or two weeks.
Speaker 8 (02:14):
Ago the government convicted a Christian activist for participating in
Kuran burnings that resulted in his friend's murder, and as
the judge in his case chillingly noted, Sweden's laws to
supposedly protect free expression do not in fact grant and
I'm quoting a free pass to do or say anything
without risking.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Offending the group that holds that belief.
Speaker 8 (02:38):
This last October, just a few months ago, the Scottish
government began distributing letters to citizens whose houses lay within
so called safe access zones, warning them that even private
prayer within their own homes may amount to breaking the law. Naturally,
the government urged readers to report any fellow citizens suspected
guilty of thought crime. In Britain and across Europe.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Free speech, I fear is in retreats.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
On Canadian soils, watching on Canadian ice as the Star
Spangled banner, our national anthem was played performed, the Canadian
crowd booed within nine seconds of our team hitting the
(03:31):
ice the opening puck. Within nine seconds, there were three
fights that broke out, resulting in America whipping Canada's ass
physically and in the game with a three to one victory,
as Justin Trudeau watched on in shame, and they played freebird.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
After each goal was scored. It was a beautiful, beautiful moment.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
President Trump at the Daytona five hundred yesterday and if
you've not seen, we were going to play the audio,
but it doesn't do it justice. It's sort of like
what happened at the Super Bowl, just even more. People
were very, very excited. They took the Beast around for
(04:21):
a lap, which is the presidential which is the President's car,
his secured car, and they handed over the microphone to
him to talk to the drivers.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
And he kept it.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Pretty brief twenty thirty seconds, wishing them well.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
But the notable part, because.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
He knew you got to make you got to make
a news headline was this is your favorite president, and truthfully,
probably Kenna.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Was President Radio your FA I'm a beef fan. I
am a really big fan of you. People that you
do this, I don't know, but I just want you
to be safe. Your talented people, a great people, a
great Americans. Have a good day, you have a lot
(05:13):
of fun, and I'll see you later.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
We'll open the funnel line seven to one three none none,
one thousand seven one three none nine one thousand. Some
of you probably are not at work today, but you're
listening at home or as you run errands or do
home projects whatever that may be Little Chile in Houston today.
For those of you outside of Houston listening.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
What's that work?
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Was not an option for us. But I'll bet your
sales is not working today, Let's put it that way.
President's Day, which is what we celebrate today, does not
actually fall on any president's birthday, but it once did.
It was originally celebrated on February twenty second, which was
(06:01):
George Washington's birthday, our first president, of course, but it
was moved to the third Monday in February in nineteen
seventy one. That's because Congress that year passed the Uniform
Monday Holiday Act, which moved some federal holidays to Monday
(06:23):
so that folks could take three day weekends. Not exactly
an example of the hardest working people in the world, now,
is it?
Speaker 1 (06:35):
You know?
Speaker 3 (06:37):
No, I probably better not say that, probably better than
I not say that today. But we are happy to
be here with you. We love what we do and
we don't consider it work. We are fortunate to get paid.
We get to talk to you folks, wherever you may be,
and it's always an honor to know that you're tuning
in to us, whether you are on your way to
(06:58):
work or doing whatever it is that you're out doing.
On this the four year anniversary of Rush Limbaugh's passing.
It's also the birthday of Ricky Medlock, who was the
frontman of the band Blackfoot, was also a Leonard skinnerd
(07:20):
member Train Train, one of the greats from Blackfoot. It
is also the sixty second birthday of Larry the Cable Guy.
It is also ninety years to the day that country
singer Johnny Bush was born in Houston, Texas, who, of
course wrote what came to be Willie Nelson's signature tune
(07:45):
Whiskey River that was a Johnny Bush number, Houston's own.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Too bad that Houston.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Doesn't honor our heroes. We've talked about in the past
doing a Houston Hall of Fame. I mean there's something
of a little one, but it's it's not known, and
I don't think it's a physical space. But it should
be done. It definitely should be done. But when I
can't get used to the new clock, I was wondering
(08:13):
why you didn't go to break. I just realized that
it wasn't time to go to break.
Speaker 9 (08:18):
See.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
I screw up ever so often too.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
You don't have to feel so bad, Michael Berry. The
favorite song of our dear friend, the late Great Scott
James Grand Trains. Kamala Harris was in New York over
(08:43):
the weekend and she was speaking about something, it's not
entirely clear what, and she was hammered. She was on Broadway,
presumably speaking to actors, and there are eye rolls from
(09:07):
the people around her that they can't believe this is
what she's been reduced to. It's like a bad Santa
version of Kamala Hair.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
It's it's bad.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
I mean, she is mumbling, stumbling, slurring, she can't remember
where she was. She just kind of generally speaking in platitudes.
I have two more stories that are local that I
want to get to and then we'll take some calls
from you. The first is some of you will remember
the story of John Barnes. He was a Santa Fe
(09:45):
ISD police officer when Santa Fe High School was shot
up in twenty eight teams a terrible, terrible, horrible thing.
John Barnes was a recently retired HPD officer who went
to Santa Fe because supposed to be an easier job,
serve out the rest of his career. Well, then there
(10:06):
was a school shooting, and he behaved admirably, admirably heroically,
even he was forced to wait seven years or an
answer from the Public Safeties Officers Benefits program. This is
a guy who was critically wounded as he confronted the
gunman and actually died twice they resuscitated him. He's waited
(10:27):
for seven years to be told, no, we're not going
to give you benefits. Now you see that nine point
five billion dollars is being spent by fire ravaged California
on illegal aliens, and we can't take care of a
man who saved lives by stepping out to get shot
(10:48):
for the kids at Santa Fe KPRCTV with the story.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
I don't know why exactly denied, but at this time
it has been denied.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
Almost as hard as it was to hear the word no,
is the fact that John Barnes had to wait more
than five years to get that answer.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Till mecket I can appeal it.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
I've waited, you know, five and a half years since
I applied, and I'm just I'm just worn out with
all this.
Speaker 6 (11:13):
Barnes was the first to confront the gunman in Santa
Fe High School in May twenty eighteen, a blast from
a shotgun shredded artery in his arm and ended his
career as a cop. Barnes took us through that day
in a recent episode of our investigative docu series The
Evidence rim.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
I never saw him. I never saw.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
All I knew was I had a big, big hole
in the arm. Was like someone had stuck a hose,
garden hose in arm and turned on the faucet. It
was just I mean, on the video you could actually
see blood shooting across and hitting the wall.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
You technically died, though, Oh yeah, twice.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
My heart stopped in the helicopter or when I was
going to the helicopter, and I'm a heart stopped between
four and five minutes and then and then it stopped
again in the r.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
Barnes joined Santa fe Id after retiring from the Houston
Police Department. He'd only been at the district two months
when he was critically wounded. Also, man, he hadn't been
there long enough to qualify for disability retirement, so he
turned to the Federal Public Safety Officer's Benefits Program, which
offers a one time payment to the family of first
responders killed in the line of duty, where those catastrophically injured.
(12:15):
Varnes says it took PSOB from twenty nineteen until last
week to decide he didn't qualify, and he's still waiting
to hear the full reason why.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
That's what's so frustrating is is to have to wait
that long for an answer.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Is ridiculous. Why drag it out like that.
Speaker 10 (12:35):
I'd like to have the person come to my office
and tell me face to face why this is the No.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Congressman Randy Webber wants answers.
Speaker 10 (12:45):
There's no reason why some bureaucrat sitting in an office
up here. Number one should number one should even question
the fact that this wouldn't qualify on the Public Offfers
Benefits Act number two, that it should take this long.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
It's totally unacceptable.
Speaker 6 (13:01):
Weber, along with Senator Ted Cruz, are again filing the
John Barnes Act, which would set a hard two hundred
and seventy day deadline for PSOB to make a decision
on claims.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
You know, in my wits end as far as all
that's concerned, So we're just going to figure out what
to do.
Speaker 6 (13:18):
This is not the first time the PSOB has been
taking a task for taking.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
A long time to decide claims.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
Bills have been passed before to try to help speed
up the process, yet problems remain. Senator Cruz also told
us today we owe it to officers like John Barnes
to eliminate what he calls bureaucratic barriers hindering access to
their benefits.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
It's atrocious. It's atrocious. We ask people to sign up
and wear our uniform and serve. We ask them to
run toward the bullets while everyone else runs away, and yet.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
In cases like this, they are treated so badly. It's awful.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Not yet confirmed Cabinet secretaries six out of twenty two

Representative Jamison Greer no relation to Jamison Winston Promo Jameis Winston,

And US Ambassador to the United States Elise Stefani, Congressman
from New York. Cash PTTEL is what we care most about,
of course, and so the question of when Cash will
be confirmed. I suspect early to midweek. He was passed
out of Senate committee on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I believe.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Pretty yes, it was Thursday that he was passed out
of committee. The cabinet secretaries that have been confirmed Scott
Bessant at Treasury, Pam Bondi, of course, who's already making

Speaker 11 (16:03):
Almost every American family knows the pain when a loved
one is diagnosed with a serious illness. Here tonight is
a special man be loved by millions of Americans who
just received a stage or advanced cancer diagnosis. This is
not good news, but what is good news is that
(16:26):
he is the greatest fighter and winner.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
That you will ever meet.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Rush Limbaugh, thank you for your decades.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Of fireless devotion to our.
Speaker 11 (16:37):
Country, and Rush, in recognition of all that you have
done for our nation, the millions of people a day
that you speak to and that you inspire, and all
of the incredible work that you have done for charity.
I am proud to announce tonight that you will be
(16:59):
receiving country's highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
I will now ask the first Lady of the United
States to present you with the honor. Please, Rush, Catherine, Congratulations.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
I fast.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
It wasn't too much longer after that than on this
day four years ago, Catherine came on the Rush Limbaugh
Show to deliver the news we did not want to hear.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Ladies and gentleman Catherine Limbaugh, Hello, everyone.
Speaker 9 (17:47):
I know that I am most certainly not the Limba
that you tuned in to listen to today. I like
you very much wish Rush was behind this gold the
microphone right now, welcoming you to another exceptional three hours
of broadcasting. For over thirty two years, Rush has cherished
(18:07):
you his loyal audience and always look forward to every
single show. It is with profound sadness I must share
with you directly that our beloved Rush, my wonderful husband,
passed away this morning due to complications from lung cancer.
(18:32):
As so many of you know, losing a loved one
is terribly difficult, even more so when that loved one
is larger than life. Rush will forever be the greatest
of all time. Rush was an extraordinary man, A gentle giant, brilliant,
(18:57):
quick witted, genuinely kind, extremely generous, passionate, courageous, and the
hardest working person I know. Despite being one of the
most recognized powerful people in the world, Rush never let
(19:19):
the success change his core or beliefs. He was polite
and respectful to everyone he met. From today on, there
will be a tremendous void in our lives and of
course on the radio. Rush loved our miraculous country beyond measure.
(19:43):
An unwavering patriot, he loved our United States military, our flag,
our Constitution, our founding fathers. He proudly fought and defended
conservative values in a way that no one else can.
(20:04):
He made the most complex issues simple to understand, while
making that level of genius look easy. It most certainly
was anything but easy. Irreplaceable, remarkable talent on behalf of
(20:25):
the Limbaugh family. I would personally like to thank each
and every one of you who prayed for Rush and
inspired him to keep going. You rallied around Rush and
lifted him up when he needed you the most. Russia's
love for our country and belief that our best days
(20:46):
are ahead live on eternally. I'm terribly sorry to have
to deliver this news to you. God bless you Rush,
and God bless our country.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
What strength that took for her to do. But it
was the ultimate.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Gesture of love for Rush, because she was talking to
the people that he adored so much, and she knew,
she knew she had to convey his love for us
the audience in those few moments when she was grieving
as a wife, not as a listener. What Rush brought
(21:38):
to something much more than radio or media or politics,
was he was the voice of a movement, which is
much bigger than a person. I've said again and again
President Trump will at one point no longer be our president,
(22:00):
and he will at one point pass, just as we
all will. But the measure of a man is the
movement and what can be accomplished from the movement. And
the two things I think he did that really drove
the movement. We're one an in three things, an insightful
(22:24):
understanding of human nature which transcends politics but drives politics.
Number two, an incredibly accessible manner of explaining that to
people who might be a truck driver or have a
PhD in nuclear physics, or a university professor, or a
(22:46):
police officer or anyone else. A very accessible explanation. And
third is ability to make us laugh and in that
vein to lighten the mood. It is the sixty second
birthday of Larry the Cable Guy, and here he is
with a little political commentary.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
I love doing this.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
I'm gonna tell you some I get to meet the
coolest people, all kind of celebrities I never thought i'd
ever meet. And the strangest one was I met Hillary
Clinton about seven months ago.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
All right, talk.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
About strange budfeaders right there, all right. And we didn't
even really talk to each other. We kind of stood
next to each other to yearnal for.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
A couple of minutes. You know, I mean, deed, I
know what I am. I come black, he happed.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
If I'm nervous for this show, I shouldn't have ate
before it.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Come over here. I'll tell you that much.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
This morning I went to the bathroom when he us
electronic toilet and got high score.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
So I guess I had pretty nervous right there.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
He would bet I had to wipe with a sham wound.
That ain't good right there, That ain't good right there.
I'm when I moved away back in tenth grade down Floord,
first time I ever come back. I'd come up on
Greyhound bus and I had to go to the bathroomsowdagg
gone bad. So I'm going to the backroom in a backpacker.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
And there wasn't no torlet paper. So I go to
the bus driver. I go, hey, there ain't no torlet
paper back there. He's like, there ain't no toilet on
this bus. I had to move to the front. Real planet.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
Oh he was matter in an albino hitchhiking in a snowstorm.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Hi, tay you what hey?
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Matter than an albino hitch hiking in a snowstorm? Now
that's pretty good right there. Talking to some folks yesterday
who have a an albino possum in their backyard, there's
(24:41):
no punchline.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
That's it. They got an albino possum. I didn't. I didn't.
Who knew.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
The Michael Berry Show to be part of your life?
It's the ninetieth birthday Johnny Bush he passed five years ago.
But it's a life worth exploring, especially because of the
incredible Houston connections. Born John Bush Shinn the third, he
(25:15):
would come to be known as the Country Caruso, most
famous for writing Whiskey River. But it's an interesting history.
He was born in his family lived in Kashmir Gardens.
He was very influenced by Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys,
(25:39):
as many young men who would go on to be
crooner's were in Ernest Hubb, Lefty Frazell, Hank Thompson. His
uncle Jimon, was the host of a local radio program
in Houston on a station with the call letters k
t HT.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Do you know what? Kt HT? Very good? KB and
Me Best Music Ever KTHT.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Johnny Bush's uncle hosted a show there became KB and Me,
which became Best Music Ever. So you can think of
auber Lynn in the oldies and then Clear Channel then
clipped it. I'm not sure what year, maybe you know,
I think sometime in the nineties they flipped it into
(26:26):
a sports format.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Do you think it was the two thousands?
Speaker 11 (26:32):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (26:33):
You know what, You're right, You're right. You started twenty
five years ago. Still haven't received your watch nothing. Eddie's
probably not listening today, so there's a chance you're ever
getting that watch. But and somehow I think that the
person who's responsible for reporting to Eddie how long you
worked there, is not going to write you on the
list as having been there for twenty five years.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
If it kills him, you're not getting that watch. Yeah,
So there's that.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
But it to a sports format, and they had the
stupid name, the Sports Animal. It was a package that
you could buy at the time that would give you
all the graphics and all that. And when I took
over the stations in early o seven, I thought the
Sports Animal was the dumbest thing ever. So I said,
we have news and talk on news Radio seven forty,
we're gonna have sports Radio seven to ninety. And we're
(27:18):
going to build the logo out of our promo department
so I don't have to pay people every time I
need to use the logo. That was the dumbest thing.
Nobody cared about the logo of a sports station anyway.
And if you look at the logo now, it is
the most pedestrian logo you'll ever see. And that's because
I had somebody in our promo department design it, and
it's very simple. It was all fonts that could be
easily replicated. We could cut and paste them. We didn't
(27:39):
have to keep paying all this dumb stuff. It is
radio after all. We didn't have money for that sort
of stuff. But anyway, Johnny Bush would moved to San
Antone at seventeen years old, and he would start playing
as a solo act at places like the Texas Star
In an announcer mistakenly introduced John Bush Shin as Johnny Bush,
(28:03):
not Johnny Shin, and the name stuck. So he would
take up playing drums with Ray Price. And Ray Price
in nineteen sixty three had two very talented musicians in
his band backing him up. One was Daryl McCall, who
would become a big part of the outlaw country music.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Over ten years later, and the other was a skinny
redhead by the name of Willie Nelson. Willy Nelson would
eventually go off.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
On his own make a little money, and Willie Nelson
would personally finance Johnny Bush his first album, which was
called the Sound of a Heartache, and Willie gave him
the money for that. But what's interesting is the reason
I chose Undo the Right. The reason Ramone and I
chose undo the Right for that bump is that Whiskey River,
(28:49):
written by Johnny Bush, became Willie Nelson's signature song, and
it really became the calling card of Johnny Bush. But
that song Undo the Right was actually written by Hank
Cochran and Willie Nelson, and that's Johnny Bush performing it.
One of my favorites if you want to go deeper
down the Johnny Bush rabbit trail after We're Off is
(29:12):
a song by Marty Robbins call You Gave Me a
Mountain and the Country. Caruso does a beautiful, beautiful version
of that song. Interesting story for people who think that
botox is all for vain women who don't want to
have wrinkles or aging Hollywood stars. Late in his life,
(29:33):
Johnny Bush could no longer perform, but he'd become kind
of a legend.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Reckless.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Kelly and a lot of folks like that wanted him
to join them on tour, but he had no strength
in his vocal chords, and he underwent a treatment using
botox that actually strengthen his vocal cords sufficiently that he
could get up and perform, and of course he did.
In fact, he became a spokesman for people with vocal
(29:58):
cord injuries or decline and kind of made a name
for himself late in life. Probably gave him a great
deal of a sense of pride that he was able to,
you know, make a difference in the field the way
he did, and he would he would go on to perform.
I remember in the mid to late teens he was
(30:19):
going on and performing. I don't think he could perform alone,
could be wrong with that, but he would go on
stage and perform with others. Ramone, I sent you something
this week, and I don't know if you saw it,
because you never look at anything I do. But what's
the boy's name with aerosmith, Stephen Tyler. It's a video
of him and dressed as a woman as usual. I
mean he's got the floppy hat.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
And all that.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
I mean, he's not dressed as a woman. I'm kiddy
you just if you didn't know anybody, you'd know it
was a woman. But if you know it's him, yoh,
it's Stephen Tyler. And no it's not a picture of
his foot, so I guess you've seen the pictures of
his foot. Oh my goodness, can you imagine some poor
woman has to get in bed with a man with
feet like that?
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Those are oh man, they're bad.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Just keep your socks on, honey, because I just can't
I can't fathom that, My goodness, those things are ratchet. Anyway,
he's walking along and some street busker is singing what's
he singing?
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Dad gum?
Speaker 3 (31:13):
And I can't remember, don't want to miss a thing
and Steven Tyler are standing there and kind of enjoying it.
People are around, and then people kind of look back
and they realize, oh, that's Steven Tyler watching this, and
wonder what he's thinking.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
And then just on a whim, he strides up.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
And when he gets up there, the guy who's singing
and singing, well, by the way, it's just him on
an acoustic guitar. He spins the microphone so he's not
singing anymore. Steven Tyler is, and so he starts singing.
But then Steven Tyler at some point very graciously turns
it back like in between them, leaning, we're going to
seeing this together. But the reason I bring that up
(31:53):
his voice is clearly not back to where it was.
But you know, he had all those vocal problems, and
he had surgeries and everything else. And I can't imagine
how frustrating that. I cannot imagine who's our friend that's saying.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Johnny.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
I can see clearly now Johnny Nash. Johnny Nash had
goiters on his throat and it ended his career early.
That's got to be frustrating, got to be frustrated.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
All right, we'll open the phone lines and we'll talk about.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
President Trump, the jd Vance speech in Europe, which was
absolute fire. Will continue our tribute to Rush Limbaugh and
anything else you would like to contribute to the program
as we roll along.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Coming up
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. So
Michael Dari Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
What you represent to them is freedom?
Speaker 1 (00:18):
What the hell's were with freedom? And that's what it's
all about.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Oh yeah, that's right, that's what it's all about, all right.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
But talking about it and being it, it's two different things.
Speaker 5 (00:28):
Well, he was standing in a country where free speech was.
Speaker 6 (00:31):
Weaponized to conduct a genocide.
Speaker 7 (00:34):
The free speech was not used to conduct a genocide.
The genocide was conducted by an authoritarian Nazi regime that
happened to also be genocidal because they hated Jews, and
they hated minorities, and they hated those that they had
a list of people they hated, but primarily the Jews.
There was no free speech in Nazi Germany.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
There was none.
Speaker 7 (00:50):
There was also no opposition in Nazi Germany. They were
a sole and only party that governed that country. So
that's not an accurate reflection of history.
Speaker 8 (00:57):
They may take our lives, but don't know, okaymes Wed.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
And bird.
Speaker 8 (01:27):
Duke, And unfortunately, when I look at Europe today, it's
sometimes not so clear what happened to some of the
Cold Wars winners. I looked to Brussels, where you commissioned
(01:50):
commissars Warren citizens that they intend to shut down social
media during times of civil unrest the moment they spot
what they've judged to be quote hateful content. Or to
this very country where police have carried out raids against
citizens suspected of posting anti feminist comments online as part
of quote combating misogyny on the Internet a day of action.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
I looked to Sweden, or two weeks.
Speaker 8 (02:14):
Ago the government convicted a Christian activist for participating in
Kuran burnings that resulted in his friend's murder, and as
the judge in his case chillingly noted, Sweden's laws to
supposedly protect free expression do not in fact grant and
I'm quoting a free pass to do or say anything
without risking.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Offending the group that holds that belief.
Speaker 8 (02:38):
This last October, just a few months ago, the Scottish
government began distributing letters to citizens whose houses lay within
so called safe access zones, warning them that even private
prayer within their own homes may amount to breaking the law. Naturally,
the government urged readers to report any fellow citizens suspected
guilty of thought crime. In Britain and across Europe.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
Free speech, I fear is in retreats.
Speaker 3 (03:10):
On Canadian soils, watching on Canadian ice as the Star
Spangled banner, our national anthem was played performed, the Canadian
crowd booed within nine seconds of our team hitting the
(03:31):
ice the opening puck. Within nine seconds, there were three
fights that broke out, resulting in America whipping Canada's ass
physically and in the game with a three to one victory,
as Justin Trudeau watched on in shame, and they played freebird.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
After each goal was scored. It was a beautiful, beautiful moment.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
President Trump at the Daytona five hundred yesterday and if
you've not seen, we were going to play the audio,
but it doesn't do it justice. It's sort of like
what happened at the Super Bowl, just even more. People
were very, very excited. They took the Beast around for
(04:21):
a lap, which is the presidential which is the President's car,
his secured car, and they handed over the microphone to
him to talk to the drivers.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
And he kept it.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
Pretty brief twenty thirty seconds, wishing them well.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
But the notable part, because.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
He knew you got to make you got to make
a news headline was this is your favorite president, and truthfully,
probably Kenna.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Was President Radio your FA I'm a beef fan. I
am a really big fan of you. People that you
do this, I don't know, but I just want you
to be safe. Your talented people, a great people, a
great Americans. Have a good day, you have a lot
(05:13):
of fun, and I'll see you later.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
We'll open the funnel line seven to one three none none,
one thousand seven one three none nine one thousand. Some
of you probably are not at work today, but you're
listening at home or as you run errands or do
home projects whatever that may be Little Chile in Houston today.
For those of you outside of Houston listening.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
What's that work?
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Was not an option for us. But I'll bet your
sales is not working today, Let's put it that way.
President's Day, which is what we celebrate today, does not
actually fall on any president's birthday, but it once did.
It was originally celebrated on February twenty second, which was
(06:01):
George Washington's birthday, our first president, of course, but it
was moved to the third Monday in February in nineteen
seventy one. That's because Congress that year passed the Uniform
Monday Holiday Act, which moved some federal holidays to Monday
(06:23):
so that folks could take three day weekends. Not exactly
an example of the hardest working people in the world, now,
is it?
Speaker 1 (06:35):
You know?
Speaker 3 (06:37):
No, I probably better not say that, probably better than
I not say that today. But we are happy to
be here with you. We love what we do and
we don't consider it work. We are fortunate to get paid.
We get to talk to you folks, wherever you may be,
and it's always an honor to know that you're tuning
in to us, whether you are on your way to
(06:58):
work or doing whatever it is that you're out doing.
On this the four year anniversary of Rush Limbaugh's passing.
It's also the birthday of Ricky Medlock, who was the
frontman of the band Blackfoot, was also a Leonard skinnerd
(07:20):
member Train Train, one of the greats from Blackfoot. It
is also the sixty second birthday of Larry the Cable Guy.
It is also ninety years to the day that country
singer Johnny Bush was born in Houston, Texas, who, of
course wrote what came to be Willie Nelson's signature tune
(07:45):
Whiskey River that was a Johnny Bush number, Houston's own.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Too bad that Houston.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Doesn't honor our heroes. We've talked about in the past
doing a Houston Hall of Fame. I mean there's something
of a little one, but it's it's not known, and
I don't think it's a physical space. But it should
be done. It definitely should be done. But when I
can't get used to the new clock, I was wondering
(08:13):
why you didn't go to break. I just realized that
it wasn't time to go to break.
Speaker 9 (08:18):
See.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
I screw up ever so often too.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
You don't have to feel so bad, Michael Berry. The
favorite song of our dear friend, the late Great Scott
James Grand Trains. Kamala Harris was in New York over
(08:43):
the weekend and she was speaking about something, it's not
entirely clear what, and she was hammered. She was on Broadway,
presumably speaking to actors, and there are eye rolls from
(09:07):
the people around her that they can't believe this is
what she's been reduced to. It's like a bad Santa
version of Kamala Hair.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
It's it's bad.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
I mean, she is mumbling, stumbling, slurring, she can't remember
where she was. She just kind of generally speaking in platitudes.
I have two more stories that are local that I
want to get to and then we'll take some calls
from you. The first is some of you will remember
the story of John Barnes. He was a Santa Fe
(09:45):
ISD police officer when Santa Fe High School was shot
up in twenty eight teams a terrible, terrible, horrible thing.
John Barnes was a recently retired HPD officer who went
to Santa Fe because supposed to be an easier job,
serve out the rest of his career. Well, then there
(10:06):
was a school shooting, and he behaved admirably, admirably heroically,
even he was forced to wait seven years or an
answer from the Public Safeties Officers Benefits program. This is
a guy who was critically wounded as he confronted the
gunman and actually died twice they resuscitated him. He's waited
(10:27):
for seven years to be told, no, we're not going
to give you benefits. Now you see that nine point
five billion dollars is being spent by fire ravaged California
on illegal aliens, and we can't take care of a
man who saved lives by stepping out to get shot
(10:48):
for the kids at Santa Fe KPRCTV with the story.
Speaker 5 (10:52):
I don't know why exactly denied, but at this time
it has been denied.
Speaker 6 (10:55):
Almost as hard as it was to hear the word no,
is the fact that John Barnes had to wait more
than five years to get that answer.
Speaker 1 (11:01):
Till mecket I can appeal it.
Speaker 5 (11:05):
I've waited, you know, five and a half years since
I applied, and I'm just I'm just worn out with
all this.
Speaker 6 (11:13):
Barnes was the first to confront the gunman in Santa
Fe High School in May twenty eighteen, a blast from
a shotgun shredded artery in his arm and ended his
career as a cop. Barnes took us through that day
in a recent episode of our investigative docu series The
Evidence rim.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
I never saw him. I never saw.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
All I knew was I had a big, big hole
in the arm. Was like someone had stuck a hose,
garden hose in arm and turned on the faucet. It
was just I mean, on the video you could actually
see blood shooting across and hitting the wall.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
You technically died, though, Oh yeah, twice.
Speaker 5 (11:43):
My heart stopped in the helicopter or when I was
going to the helicopter, and I'm a heart stopped between
four and five minutes and then and then it stopped
again in the r.
Speaker 6 (11:53):
Barnes joined Santa fe Id after retiring from the Houston
Police Department. He'd only been at the district two months
when he was critically wounded. Also, man, he hadn't been
there long enough to qualify for disability retirement, so he
turned to the Federal Public Safety Officer's Benefits Program, which
offers a one time payment to the family of first
responders killed in the line of duty, where those catastrophically injured.
(12:15):
Varnes says it took PSOB from twenty nineteen until last
week to decide he didn't qualify, and he's still waiting
to hear the full reason why.
Speaker 5 (12:24):
That's what's so frustrating is is to have to wait
that long for an answer.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Is ridiculous. Why drag it out like that.
Speaker 10 (12:35):
I'd like to have the person come to my office
and tell me face to face why this is the No.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Congressman Randy Webber wants answers.
Speaker 10 (12:45):
There's no reason why some bureaucrat sitting in an office
up here. Number one should number one should even question
the fact that this wouldn't qualify on the Public Offfers
Benefits Act number two, that it should take this long.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
It's totally unacceptable.
Speaker 6 (13:01):
Weber, along with Senator Ted Cruz, are again filing the
John Barnes Act, which would set a hard two hundred
and seventy day deadline for PSOB to make a decision
on claims.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
You know, in my wits end as far as all
that's concerned, So we're just going to figure out what
to do.
Speaker 6 (13:18):
This is not the first time the PSOB has been
taking a task for taking.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
A long time to decide claims.
Speaker 6 (13:23):
Bills have been passed before to try to help speed
up the process, yet problems remain. Senator Cruz also told
us today we owe it to officers like John Barnes
to eliminate what he calls bureaucratic barriers hindering access to
their benefits.
Speaker 3 (13:36):
It's atrocious. It's atrocious. We ask people to sign up
and wear our uniform and serve. We ask them to
run toward the bullets while everyone else runs away, and yet.
Speaker 1 (13:49):
In cases like this, they are treated so badly. It's awful.
Speaker 3 (13:56):
Not yet confirmed Cabinet secretaries six out of twenty two
for President Trump. Labor Secretary Lori Chavez Dereimer, US Trade
Representative Jamison Greer no relation to Jamison Winston Promo Jameis Winston,
Administrator of the Small Business Administration, Kelly Leffler, Commerce Secretary

Speaker 1 (14:22):
I think that will happen very soon.
Speaker 3 (14:24):
And US Ambassador to the United States Elise Stefani, Congressman
from New York. Cash PTTEL is what we care most about,
of course, and so the question of when Cash will
be confirmed. I suspect early to midweek. He was passed
out of Senate committee on Thursday.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I believe.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
Pretty yes, it was Thursday that he was passed out
of committee. The cabinet secretaries that have been confirmed Scott
Bessant at Treasury, Pam Bondi, of course, who's already making
a mark as our Attorney General, Doug Bergham at Interior
announcing that we will drill, baby drill, Former Congressman Doug

Collins at veterans Affairs, where there are great opportunities to
do good for our veterans, Sean Duffy at Transportation, Robert F.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
Kennedy Junior, of course.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
Just having been passed at HHS, some big developments coming

Gabbert of course, just having been passed, just having been

Hezeldon at EPA, Chris Wright and Energy.
Speaker 11 (16:03):
Almost every American family knows the pain when a loved
one is diagnosed with a serious illness. Here tonight is
a special man be loved by millions of Americans who
just received a stage or advanced cancer diagnosis. This is
not good news, but what is good news is that
(16:26):
he is the greatest fighter and winner.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
That you will ever meet.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Rush Limbaugh, thank you for your decades.
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Of fireless devotion to our.
Speaker 11 (16:37):
Country, and Rush, in recognition of all that you have
done for our nation, the millions of people a day
that you speak to and that you inspire, and all
of the incredible work that you have done for charity.
I am proud to announce tonight that you will be
(16:59):
receiving country's highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
I will now ask the first Lady of the United
States to present you with the honor. Please, Rush, Catherine, Congratulations.
Speaker 2 (17:26):
I fast.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
It wasn't too much longer after that than on this
day four years ago, Catherine came on the Rush Limbaugh
Show to deliver the news we did not want to hear.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Ladies and gentleman Catherine Limbaugh, Hello, everyone.
Speaker 9 (17:47):
I know that I am most certainly not the Limba
that you tuned in to listen to today. I like
you very much wish Rush was behind this gold the
microphone right now, welcoming you to another exceptional three hours
of broadcasting. For over thirty two years, Rush has cherished
(18:07):
you his loyal audience and always look forward to every
single show. It is with profound sadness I must share
with you directly that our beloved Rush, my wonderful husband,
passed away this morning due to complications from lung cancer.
(18:32):
As so many of you know, losing a loved one
is terribly difficult, even more so when that loved one
is larger than life. Rush will forever be the greatest
of all time. Rush was an extraordinary man, A gentle giant, brilliant,
(18:57):
quick witted, genuinely kind, extremely generous, passionate, courageous, and the
hardest working person I know. Despite being one of the
most recognized powerful people in the world, Rush never let
(19:19):
the success change his core or beliefs. He was polite
and respectful to everyone he met. From today on, there
will be a tremendous void in our lives and of
course on the radio. Rush loved our miraculous country beyond measure.
(19:43):
An unwavering patriot, he loved our United States military, our flag,
our Constitution, our founding fathers. He proudly fought and defended
conservative values in a way that no one else can.
(20:04):
He made the most complex issues simple to understand, while
making that level of genius look easy. It most certainly
was anything but easy. Irreplaceable, remarkable talent on behalf of
(20:25):
the Limbaugh family. I would personally like to thank each
and every one of you who prayed for Rush and
inspired him to keep going. You rallied around Rush and
lifted him up when he needed you the most. Russia's
love for our country and belief that our best days
(20:46):
are ahead live on eternally. I'm terribly sorry to have
to deliver this news to you. God bless you Rush,
and God bless our country.
Speaker 1 (21:04):
What strength that took for her to do. But it
was the ultimate.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Gesture of love for Rush, because she was talking to
the people that he adored so much, and she knew,
she knew she had to convey his love for us
the audience in those few moments when she was grieving
as a wife, not as a listener. What Rush brought
(21:38):
to something much more than radio or media or politics,
was he was the voice of a movement, which is
much bigger than a person. I've said again and again
President Trump will at one point no longer be our president,
(22:00):
and he will at one point pass, just as we
all will. But the measure of a man is the
movement and what can be accomplished from the movement. And
the two things I think he did that really drove
the movement. We're one an in three things, an insightful
(22:24):
understanding of human nature which transcends politics but drives politics.
Number two, an incredibly accessible manner of explaining that to
people who might be a truck driver or have a
PhD in nuclear physics, or a university professor, or a
(22:46):
police officer or anyone else. A very accessible explanation. And
third is ability to make us laugh and in that
vein to lighten the mood. It is the sixty second
birthday of Larry the Cable Guy, and here he is
with a little political commentary.
Speaker 1 (23:04):
I love doing this.
Speaker 4 (23:05):
I'm gonna tell you some I get to meet the
coolest people, all kind of celebrities I never thought i'd
ever meet. And the strangest one was I met Hillary
Clinton about seven months ago.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
All right, talk.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
About strange budfeaders right there, all right. And we didn't
even really talk to each other. We kind of stood
next to each other to yearnal for.
Speaker 1 (23:22):
A couple of minutes. You know, I mean, deed, I
know what I am. I come black, he happed.
Speaker 4 (23:35):
If I'm nervous for this show, I shouldn't have ate
before it.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Come over here. I'll tell you that much.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
This morning I went to the bathroom when he us
electronic toilet and got high score.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
So I guess I had pretty nervous right there.
Speaker 4 (23:44):
He would bet I had to wipe with a sham wound.
That ain't good right there, That ain't good right there.
I'm when I moved away back in tenth grade down Floord,
first time I ever come back. I'd come up on
Greyhound bus and I had to go to the bathroomsowdagg
gone bad. So I'm going to the backroom in a backpacker.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
And there wasn't no torlet paper. So I go to
the bus driver. I go, hey, there ain't no torlet
paper back there. He's like, there ain't no toilet on
this bus. I had to move to the front. Real planet.
Speaker 4 (24:13):
Oh he was matter in an albino hitchhiking in a snowstorm.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Hi, tay you what hey?
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Matter than an albino hitch hiking in a snowstorm? Now
that's pretty good right there. Talking to some folks yesterday
who have a an albino possum in their backyard, there's
(24:41):
no punchline.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
That's it. They got an albino possum. I didn't. I didn't.
Who knew.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
The Michael Berry Show to be part of your life?
It's the ninetieth birthday Johnny Bush he passed five years ago.
But it's a life worth exploring, especially because of the
incredible Houston connections. Born John Bush Shinn the third, he
(25:15):
would come to be known as the Country Caruso, most
famous for writing Whiskey River. But it's an interesting history.
He was born in his family lived in Kashmir Gardens.
He was very influenced by Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys,
(25:39):
as many young men who would go on to be
crooner's were in Ernest Hubb, Lefty Frazell, Hank Thompson. His
uncle Jimon, was the host of a local radio program
in Houston on a station with the call letters k
t HT.
Speaker 1 (25:58):
Do you know what? Kt HT? Very good? KB and
Me Best Music Ever KTHT.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
Johnny Bush's uncle hosted a show there became KB and Me,
which became Best Music Ever. So you can think of
auber Lynn in the oldies and then Clear Channel then
clipped it. I'm not sure what year, maybe you know,
I think sometime in the nineties they flipped it into
(26:26):
a sports format.
Speaker 1 (26:30):
Do you think it was the two thousands?
Speaker 11 (26:32):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (26:33):
You know what, You're right, You're right. You started twenty
five years ago. Still haven't received your watch nothing. Eddie's
probably not listening today, so there's a chance you're ever
getting that watch. But and somehow I think that the
person who's responsible for reporting to Eddie how long you
worked there, is not going to write you on the
list as having been there for twenty five years.
Speaker 1 (26:53):
If it kills him, you're not getting that watch. Yeah,
So there's that.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
But it to a sports format, and they had the
stupid name, the Sports Animal. It was a package that
you could buy at the time that would give you
all the graphics and all that. And when I took
over the stations in early o seven, I thought the
Sports Animal was the dumbest thing ever. So I said,
we have news and talk on news Radio seven forty,
we're gonna have sports Radio seven to ninety. And we're
(27:18):
going to build the logo out of our promo department
so I don't have to pay people every time I
need to use the logo. That was the dumbest thing.
Nobody cared about the logo of a sports station anyway.
And if you look at the logo now, it is
the most pedestrian logo you'll ever see. And that's because
I had somebody in our promo department design it, and
it's very simple. It was all fonts that could be
easily replicated. We could cut and paste them. We didn't
(27:39):
have to keep paying all this dumb stuff. It is
radio after all. We didn't have money for that sort
of stuff. But anyway, Johnny Bush would moved to San
Antone at seventeen years old, and he would start playing
as a solo act at places like the Texas Star
In an announcer mistakenly introduced John Bush Shin as Johnny Bush,
(28:03):
not Johnny Shin, and the name stuck. So he would
take up playing drums with Ray Price. And Ray Price
in nineteen sixty three had two very talented musicians in
his band backing him up. One was Daryl McCall, who
would become a big part of the outlaw country music.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Over ten years later, and the other was a skinny
redhead by the name of Willie Nelson. Willy Nelson would
eventually go off.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
On his own make a little money, and Willie Nelson
would personally finance Johnny Bush his first album, which was
called the Sound of a Heartache, and Willie gave him
the money for that. But what's interesting is the reason
I chose Undo the Right. The reason Ramone and I
chose undo the Right for that bump is that Whiskey River,
(28:49):
written by Johnny Bush, became Willie Nelson's signature song, and
it really became the calling card of Johnny Bush. But
that song Undo the Right was actually written by Hank
Cochran and Willie Nelson, and that's Johnny Bush performing it.
One of my favorites if you want to go deeper
down the Johnny Bush rabbit trail after We're Off is
(29:12):
a song by Marty Robbins call You Gave Me a
Mountain and the Country. Caruso does a beautiful, beautiful version
of that song. Interesting story for people who think that
botox is all for vain women who don't want to
have wrinkles or aging Hollywood stars. Late in his life,
(29:33):
Johnny Bush could no longer perform, but he'd become kind
of a legend.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
Reckless.
Speaker 3 (29:37):
Kelly and a lot of folks like that wanted him
to join them on tour, but he had no strength
in his vocal chords, and he underwent a treatment using
botox that actually strengthen his vocal cords sufficiently that he
could get up and perform, and of course he did.
In fact, he became a spokesman for people with vocal
(29:58):
cord injuries or decline and kind of made a name
for himself late in life. Probably gave him a great
deal of a sense of pride that he was able to,
you know, make a difference in the field the way
he did, and he would he would go on to perform.
I remember in the mid to late teens he was
(30:19):
going on and performing. I don't think he could perform alone,
could be wrong with that, but he would go on
stage and perform with others. Ramone, I sent you something
this week, and I don't know if you saw it,
because you never look at anything I do. But what's
the boy's name with aerosmith, Stephen Tyler. It's a video
of him and dressed as a woman as usual. I
mean he's got the floppy hat.
Speaker 1 (30:40):
And all that.
Speaker 3 (30:40):
I mean, he's not dressed as a woman. I'm kiddy
you just if you didn't know anybody, you'd know it
was a woman. But if you know it's him, yoh,
it's Stephen Tyler. And no it's not a picture of
his foot, so I guess you've seen the pictures of
his foot. Oh my goodness, can you imagine some poor
woman has to get in bed with a man with
feet like that?
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Those are oh man, they're bad.
Speaker 3 (30:58):
Just keep your socks on, honey, because I just can't
I can't fathom that, My goodness, those things are ratchet. Anyway,
he's walking along and some street busker is singing what's
he singing?
Speaker 1 (31:13):
Dad gum?
Speaker 3 (31:13):
And I can't remember, don't want to miss a thing
and Steven Tyler are standing there and kind of enjoying it.
People are around, and then people kind of look back
and they realize, oh, that's Steven Tyler watching this, and
wonder what he's thinking.
Speaker 1 (31:29):
And then just on a whim, he strides up.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
And when he gets up there, the guy who's singing
and singing, well, by the way, it's just him on
an acoustic guitar. He spins the microphone so he's not
singing anymore. Steven Tyler is, and so he starts singing.
But then Steven Tyler at some point very graciously turns
it back like in between them, leaning, we're going to
seeing this together. But the reason I bring that up
(31:53):
his voice is clearly not back to where it was.
But you know, he had all those vocal problems, and
he had surgeries and everything else. And I can't imagine
how frustrating that. I cannot imagine who's our friend that's saying.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
Johnny.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
I can see clearly now Johnny Nash. Johnny Nash had
goiters on his throat and it ended his career early.
That's got to be frustrating, got to be frustrated.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
All right, we'll open the phone lines and we'll talk about.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
President Trump, the jd Vance speech in Europe, which was
absolute fire. Will continue our tribute to Rush Limbaugh and
anything else you would like to contribute to the program
as we roll along.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
