In the name of our God, I ask you to
have mercy upon the people in our country.

We're scared now.
Speaker 5 (00:26):
A precious twelve year old girl from Houston, who last
month was tied up, assaulted and strangled to death aft
to walk into the convenience or just a block away
from her house. Her body was dumped near the side
of the road in a shallow creek, found by some
onlookers who couldn't believe what they had witnessed. Charged with
(00:47):
Joscelyn's heinous murder. Or two illegal aliens from Venezuela who
came across our border were in custody and were then
released into the country by this horrible, horrible administration that
we have right now.

Of course, yes, families can be deported.
Speaker 7 (01:27):
Together way you want.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
May God grant us the strength and courage to honor
the dignity of every human being.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
I also met recently with the heartbroken mother and sister
Rachel Maurn.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Rachel was a thirty seven year old mom of.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
Five beautiful children who was brutally raped and murdered while
out on her run. She wanted to keep herself in
good shape. It was very important she was murdered. The
monster responsible first killed another woman in El Salvador before
he was let into America by the White House.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
This White House let.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
Them in.
Speaker 3 (02:33):

Speaker 6 (02:40):
To the mains of illegal amiens that Joe Bind's released
in our country and violation of federal law.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
You better start packing now because you're going home kidnapped.
The reference to Loretta in that song reminds me that,
(03:12):
oddly enough, Jim Mudd and I had worked together for
several years before we realized that both of our mothers
were named Loretta. What are the odds? Loretta? That's one
of those names. You didn't have a lot of them,
You had a few in that period. The Loretta Lynn
Loretta Sweat just passed away. Ramon, did you know that? Ramona?
(03:37):
Are you there? Why were you talking to drunk Mark?
Why would you take time away from the show talking
to drunk Mark, who calls every single day. It shows
up as drunk Mark. Well, just go ahead and tell
me what was the conversation. I'm just curious. What is
he still living at the corner of twenty nine twenty
in Robert's Road, across from law plus seat of waiting
(03:58):
for them to open it for so can apply for
a busboy job. Huh, he's waiting for uppermandonment to arrive. Oh, well,
they might have got they might have got deported. I
got news. If you want to learn more about Brian Wilson,
there's a documentary called Long Promised Rose Came Road, Long
(04:19):
Promised Road. It is with the editor of Rolling Stone magazine,
Jason Fine. It was originally conceived as a sit down conversation,
but Brian Wilson couldn't couldn't function in that environment, and
so he, uh, Jason Fine just drove him around. As
(04:40):
they drove around, they had a camera on it and
they just talked and as it came apparently was it
was like getting George Jones to record he stopped loving
her today. It was a long drawn out process to
get it out of him. I don't know I don't
know that there's anything to be gained from watching the documentary,
be honest with you. It's his passing and a number
(05:02):
of people have asked where they can learn more about him.
They made a movie about him about ten years ago,
and the movie was an absolute flop. It's not well done.
If you want to learn more about Brian Wilson, in
my opinion, you go back to the music and you
go back to him at that time. You want to
know about Brian Wilson, you study the fact that, like
(05:22):
Britney Spears and Michael Jackson and a lot of a
lot of artistic superstars, you find that there is an
overbearing presence of their parent. I mean you can see
this in sports with Todd Morenovitch, Todd Morenovitch's father and
(05:43):
how he destroyed him. There are a number of these
cases where, for that matter, Dion Sanders I think, will
end up having done that to Shadur. But be that
as it may. Brian Wilson's father, I think his name
was Murray, was the band manager and and he the
band out grew him pretty fast. He wasn't he wasn't
(06:05):
and there's an awkwardness in the studio there's footage of
it where Brian Wilson basically tells him, look, oh man,
get out of here. You you've rode us too hard
and put us up wet and we're done and you're
not managing us anymore. And the old man has to
move on. And it's quite interesting. There's also Jacob Dillon
did a documentary called Echo in the Canyon that it
(06:28):
was called and Uh, and there's a Brian Wilson segment
there that's probably a better a better deal. So most
of you know that one of my best friends in
the world is Russell Lebara, but you may not know
that his number two is also one of my best friends.
Have a separate and distinct although we often do things
(06:49):
together as a threesome, but sometimes it's just me and Jonathan.
He'll come over and hang out to the house with
me and my wife. But his number two, Jonathan Kim,
who's now president of the organization. Today is his twenty
fifth anniversary with Russell. And yes, ramone, he did get
a watch. Yes, I don't deserve No, I don't deserve
(07:13):
the credit for your watch. Your watch was at the
direction of Eddie Martini, and that was Sheila Sheila Sylvia Jones.
Where did I get Sheila? Oh that's Russell's sister in law.
Sylvia Jones and Charlie Pania were the ones that made
that happen at the direction of Eddie Martini. But yes,
(07:34):
Jonathan did get a watch out of the deal, a
very nice watch. I'm not going to say it's nicer
than yours. I'm just saying if you hocked both of them,
you could get further if you were trying to, you know,
get cash to go on the run. But I would
like you to take a moment as we paid tribute
(07:56):
to Ramone, because lord knows he has to have that.
You know, we don't pay tribute enough to Chad, who's
very quietly the heart and soul of the show. That's
why he's executive producer. Jim gets his due and Coon
has only been here for a couple of coffee, so
we can't we can't judge goobyget but Russell going over
the top for twenty five years of Jonathan Kim. I
(08:18):
hope that's a I hope find somebody in your organization
who's been there a while to tell them thank you
for who they are right now, because that matters. It
was funny.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Michael Berry.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Oh no, I won't do that. It's too much for month.
She won't go that.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
That was so funny, Jimca.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Go back to the state of man. In Luck's original theory,
it was a very simple state. Survival required the entirety
of man's energy. You you fend it off enemies. You
(09:04):
sought out food constantly. You think about a world where
you have to provide for your own food, whether you
grow it or kill it. You have to prepare it
and you cannot preserve it. That's where brining salting preservation
(09:26):
techniques first began, an attempt to make beef jerky out
of beef so that it would last longer because it
would spoil so fast. Same is true of vegetables, which
were even harder. You had no cold storage. You could
heat things on a fire, but you could not preserve
them long term. You think about the difficulties of pregnancy
(09:47):
and childbirth without all of the pain relief and all
of the things we have available to us now, many
of which have been perverted in Big Farmer's interest. But
it was a difficult time. Bait the bullet had mean.
But when you think about survival, and it was just survival.
There was so little time for arts of music and
(10:10):
poetry and storytelling and dance and writing and painting and
the like. There was so little time for such a thing,
and so much time devoted to the necessary chores of survival.
And through the years we developed expertise in one way
(10:31):
or another, whether that's growing food or cooking it, or
preserving it, or innovating, inventing, creating in order to find
food storage and food preparation and food delivery and food
extraction and all these sorts of things that as mankind,
we did. It took thousands of years, of which we
are the beneficiary. They're all handed to us on our
doorsetow And somewhere along the way the idea prevailed. This
(10:59):
is a post modern this this is the pox of
post modern Western civilization. The communist, the selfish, the atheist.
All of these ideas came about as a result of
too much time on your hands. Because mankind needs a challenge.
(11:24):
Man man needs to be engaged, he needs to be fulfilled.
When I was younger, I thought that when I was older,
I wanted to be happy. That's what we're told. Whatever
makes you happy, you want to be happy. Happy is
the most overrated emotion. You know what happens when you're
too happy, You become ditty, You become Jeffrey Epstein. Happiness,
(11:49):
as we think, is this idea of not having to work,
not having somewhere we need to be, not having people
who depend on us, rely on us, not having to
be accountable and responsible. We'll be happy. We'll sleep when
we want and rise when we want, and eat what
we want and do what we want. And that might
(12:10):
just be nothing all the time. And many people have
achieved that state, but it turns out it is not.
As it turns out happiness that is not happiness. You
think it's going to be happiness. A lot of people
think they're going to be happy retired because now aladd
they won't have to work. And you'll be surprised how
(12:30):
many find that they're not happy. And that is because
mankind's struggle and search for meaning is a search for purpose.
When you find purpose, you can equate purpose and the
contentment you get, the fulfillment you get from purpose. You
can equate that with happiness if you like. But that
(12:52):
does not mean sloth. It does not mean simply sleeping
all the time. Or being in a drug induced state,
which is what often happens. People start finding ways to
increase fulfillment because like any drug, Like any drug, slovenliness
or sloth becomes something you need more of to derive
(13:14):
the same hit. And that's the problem with every drug.
The problem with every drug is the first hits the best,
and it goes downhill from there, and you're always in
search of that hit. I've spent a fair amount of
time talking to atticts of various drugs, and it all
comes back to the same thing. There's that first hit,
and then the rest of the time to chase for it,
(13:34):
and the things you sacrifice trying to get back to
that one initial awesome moment. So man search for purpose
ends up being more important than his desire for happiness.
Happiness is a byproduct of purpose. Why couldn't Tom Brady
(13:56):
leave playing professional football an absolute physical grind, taking hits,
brutal hits twenty four to seven study of game film
injuries that you never knew about because he played through them.
How many laps did he run? Weights did he lift?
How did he deny himself food and ensure that he
(14:16):
got sufficient rest and took medicine because he found purpose
in that. So I think about the career of Jonathan
Kim Russell's number two, and I think about the team
I have built around me and the purpose I find
every single day and the contentment I derive from interacting
with Chad and Jim and Darryl. Is that our whole
(14:39):
team me, Chad, Jim, Oh, Chance, Sandy Rachel. Yeah, that's
our complete team. I think about the enjoyment and contentment
and iron sharpens iron of being around now. So I
got hit with a Okay, ramone yes, ramone yes. So
(15:02):
my challenge to you, and maybe it's your boss, Maybe
it's not your employee, Maybe it's the president of the
company that you brought up through the years. Maybe it's
your maybe it's your wife who stays home and runs
the household. So that when I always told my wife
when she retired, she never fully retired, She's been on
boards and things like that, but it was always, you know,
(15:23):
don't underestimate your value to this family and what you
do that gives us. So so call and thank that
person right now. Please, the proceedings the Court of Impeachment
is hereby dissolved, mister Michael Barry Well, not about the
desert wraps.
Speaker 8 (15:37):
Her all up.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Why should I save his lide?
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Why should I write this wrong?
Speaker 2 (15:44):
When I have come so far and struggle for so long.
What just happened? We were just getting to the good part.
President Trump was at the Kennedy Center last night. He
(16:05):
appointed you will recall the President's discretion to be the
chairman of the Kennedy Center. He appointed himself, and I
love that, so we can bring some sanity back to
the arts in this country. Les Minz is apparently, if
not his favorite, one of his favorite musicals, and so
(16:25):
he was in attendance last night, and he goes up
further in my esteem for that being, if not his favorite,
one of his favorites, because it holds that place for
me as well. It's a great story. It's a great
story of redemption. No, that's not where they all dressed
like cats. That's a whole different, that's the whole. No,
it's not where they go underground either that No. No, please,
(16:48):
the awesome note, not the one with the half mask.
Thank you for participating. Your participation is appreciated. I think
this is one of the best stories in sports in
a while. The cindere story of Murray State, which is
out of Kentucky. No reason you'd know that where they are,
who they are. This is such a wonderful story. Murray
(17:09):
State in their first College World Series. Now this is
a school. Their home stadium seats only eight hundred people.
The story that is getting all the attention is that
their coach, his name is Dan Skirka. He gets paid
sixty eight thousand dollars a year, not nothing, but not
(17:29):
what you know schloss or one of the guys at
A and M or ut or one of the big
powerful programs makes and he cuts the grass on the
field himself. They will open against UCLA powerhouse, well funded
on Saturday. Put it into perspective. John Savage, the coach
of UCLA Bruins, makes about a million dollars a year.
(17:52):
Dan Starker makes sixty eight and he cuts the fields
grass himself. Murray State, keep your eye out, which is
a true, true Cinderella story. The story from CBS Sports.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Murray State is headed to the College World Series and
has to be one of the better Cinderella stories for
multitude of reasons. For starters, they're the definition of a
mid major. The school has a total enrollment of nine
eight hundred and thirty two students. Is located in Murray, Kentucky,
a city with a population of just over seventeen thousand people.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Their home stadium seats just eight hundred spectators.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Griffin Demarris Faction News five reported their head coach Dan
Skirka Mose de Grass. Other fans have said the players
are responsible for tarping the field. Skirka is a story
in and of himself verslbeless vers soil bless to the
former Juco BANDA and D two player. Skirka was a
community college assistant for more than a decade before accepting
his first head coaching gig as head coach of the
(18:44):
Racers in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
According to the Greenwood Commonwealth newspaper, head coach Dan S.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Kirka makes sixty eight thousand dollars a year for context
Ole misshead coach Mike Bianco makes one point six million
dollars per year, the same Old Miss team that Murray
State eliminated in the regional, A regional by the way
which they were the lowest seed in Oxford A four
seat the feeding number fifteen Old Mis twice number eighteen
Georgia Tech and then duke in the Supers to advance
to their first College World Series in school history. The
(19:10):
program has been around since nineteen twenty eight, and nearly
one hundred years later, there finally headed to Omaha for
a chance at winning its first.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Ever College World Series. I love stories like that. My
kids will come into the living room when I'm watching
a game, walk in, and before they sit down, they
will announce which team I'm rooting for, and the team
I'm rooting for, and they're always right, is the team
that's losing. So years ago, I think it was Crockett.
(19:40):
He walked in and they say Murray State was playing
in UCLA. And he'd walk in and they're down seven
to nothing. Then he'll go, oh, it was playing, Oh,
Murray State and Ucla. Who are you rooting? Oh, nevermind,
you're rooting for Murray State. How do you know that?
Because you always root for whoever's losing. Why do you
say that? Because it's true. You always root for the
un and you always root for whoever's losing. And it's
(20:02):
true because I made a conscious decision years ago to
stop driving myself crazy watching sports. Sports are a diversion
from real life. If you find people who live for
sports as a fan like they you know, they got
whatever their team, They wear that team's jersey every day.
(20:23):
They got it on their vehicle, they got it on
their house, They fire the flag. They don't have any
stress in their life. That becomes their thing. People who
have a lot of stress pull back and enjoy the sport,
the diversion from the stress of life. If you're an
emergency room doctor, you don't really have the energy to
be that worried over the Texans pick. You just go
(20:45):
to the game and enjoy and take some other people
and watch them have fun. That's why it's so much
fun to take a kid to the game, because they
get so into the game. But there's something magical and
wonderful about the outlier, the underdog, the person who's not
supposed to be there and gets there. Tell me your
(21:07):
your favorite underdog story, all right, think on it. I'll
give you one. Remember Everson Walls. Everson Walls played dB
for the Dallas Cowboys. That was back when the draft
went more rounds. He was picked back there about where
Shdeur Sanders was. He wasn't quite mister irrelevant, but there
were more rounds back then. He wasn't even supposed to
make the team.
Speaker 8 (21:27):
That guy.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
What a career Everson Walls had. I love players that
everyone sleeps on and then they become superstars. You remember
Kurt Warner. Kurt Warner married a woman whose child had
severe disabilities. I mean, I mean, I think, incapable of speech,
wheelchair bound. Kurt Warner is a man's man.
Speaker 8 (21:48):
You do something like that.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
I think she's older at him too. Kurt Warner is
a man's man. You do something like that. Yeah, yeah,
Murray state, Michael Berry almost god.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Like say that, Jim, I don't know st swimming Ooh.
Speaker 8 (22:26):
I want to congratulate Michael Berrey on interviewing George Farming
Grill yesterday. That was good.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Uh, he got a lot of information out of him.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
I had not knowed before and things and Whatusha was
over here just watering it.
Speaker 8 (22:41):
The mouth, know you was she was wadding at the mouth.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
You know you ain't heard the end of that.
Speaker 7 (22:46):
Honey.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
They're gonna be looping that over and over and ever.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Advertisement you remember how they wore out Elba Woods.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Oh my god, I was so tired of hearing about.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
How they did that.
Speaker 8 (22:55):
Man, bless it's hard, but come on six months later,
quit thinking yourself off.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Come on, Oh lord, that's right.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Oh Watusa was mocking macl Berry. This money watch's the
comear do your Michael Berry versation.
Speaker 8 (23:09):
Come here, what is your passion? Go find your past,
and that's what you need to do for anything. It
would always be picking up people yard.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Go ahead, hug yo, chill trying my wife smoking hide.
Speaker 8 (23:33):
If you don't think that's funny, I can't be your friend.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
Oo oo.
Speaker 8 (23:39):
She nailed it, your boy. Oh Wausa got that Shirley
que out liquor flowing in her blood stream.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
High right, and now back to the mical Berry program.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
I would love to get inside of the mind of
somebody who does something like this and find out what
was the end game. A man steals an ambulance from
Ben Tobb as EMTs, took the patient inside and leads
the popo on a thirty minute chase. At one point,
the ambulance thief turned on the lights and sirens to
(24:13):
move through traffic. Houston Fire Department rights on social media,
please do not steal our ambulances while we are transferring
care at the hospital. The story from Khou. Then Ambulance
forty was stolen out of Bentwn Hospital.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
This is the scene of the crash that ended a
Houston police chase after an ambulance was stolen.
Speaker 9 (24:35):
When up broke the window out, suspect refused to get out,
still was trying to red the engine to drive off.
Speaker 6 (24:40):
Era Leven, capturing the moment Houston police officers approached and
use a canine to force a driver out, leaving him
with an arm injury. From the ground, you could see
officers surrounding the man taking him into custody. We're told
the driver lost control at some point, went into the
ditch between a tree and a telephone pole, and officers
ordered him to get out of the vehicle.
Speaker 9 (25:00):
Between the helicopter and unmarked nuts and the tracker. We
were able to follow the ambulance for about thirty minutes
here to homes at Almeda.
Speaker 6 (25:07):
One of the tires blew out during the chase. Undercover
officers followed from a distance as they tracked him. The
ambulance was at BenOp Hospital. We're told both EMTs removed
a patient and took them into the emergency room, leaving
the vehicle running.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
They're supposed to be secured and they're allowed to be
running as long as it's secured.
Speaker 6 (25:25):
It's unclear why it was not secured. The policy we're
told is all equipment must be secured. HBD tells us
the suspect taken to the hospital to be treated and
will be going to jail.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
You know, stealing an ambulance could leave somebody without critical care,
critical treatment, and so that guy should be dragged out
of the ambulance because it's not an accident, eat an
accident and shot just on the spot, just shot, or
(25:59):
if you want to have a try, I'll preside everybody here. Everybody, Okay,
what's your We already know the case against you. What's
your defense? Oh, you're on. I was drunk and being stupid. Okay,
you're done. Go ahead and put a bullet in him.
Let's move on down the road because that guy that
you're just done, there's no way run there. That being said,
(26:19):
it would be funny to be in the ambulance watching
that dude, Like what's he thinking in his mind? Is
he going rambow? Is he giggling? Is he in on
the joke? Is he nuts? Is he just hammer drunk?
What in the world is going through his head. All right,
we have a moment of audience participation. I'll give the
(26:40):
phone number out In a moment, I'm about to mispronounce something.
So there's a lot of people who love to lord
over that you don't know how to say their thing.
And I will admit I don't know how to say
this thing. Ramon, do you know how to pronounce the word?
Speaker 8 (26:57):
No, it's not.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
I'm sorry. Listen to me. A Oh you d a
d all dads, all dads. You know what all dads are?
How do you know you've eaten them? Are they good eating?
Speaker 7 (27:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (27:13):
What's your huh? They're not good?
Speaker 9 (27:16):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (27:16):
You eat it?
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Just to say you know what, I'm gonna go ahead
and tell you this. Don't I'm not gonna say it's
on the air. But I'll go over to Rainbow Lodge
sometimes with nothing and we'll order exotic meats. And I'm
gonna tell you this, to say it tastes like chicken
is not accurate, but it'd be better if it did.
Most of that stuff is dry as a popcorn. For it,
it's just not good. So what they have to do
(27:39):
is they have to put like a mint chutney or
a fig sauce. You got to put all this stuff
on it. If you don't, you know what, you don't
have to put stuff on a rabbi. You don't need
to put anything on it. You don't need There's nothing
you don't eat a ramikan wooster syre sauce sauce or
a sorry, a ramikin of a one. And you know
who you are. If you're the person that does that,
(28:01):
you don't need it. You just you can put some
butter on it. Sure, absolutely you can put some butter.
You can put what's the stuff they put in the butter,
the green leaf deal? You can put some deal butter
on there. Sure, But here's my question. We might have
to call Holmes Williams or somebody on this. I'll give
a phone numb out in a moment. Here is the story.
(28:23):
Barbary Sheep Barbary Coast. Barbary Pirates were the original Muslims
in the in the in the Marine Corps hymn that
that Thomas Jefferson was constantly having to battle. The Barbary
Pirates were the Somalis of their era in terms of
disrupting trade. Barbary sheep also known as do you say
(28:44):
It's all dads will soon be allowed to be shot
from helicopters for sport in Texas, joining hogs and coyotes
on the allowable list. From the Texas Tribune quote barbary
sheep or massive beasts with large crescent horns and a
mane that drapes from the bottom of their neck to
their stomachs, also known as awdads, The animals are native
(29:08):
to the mountains of northern Africa. In the nineteen fifties,
they were brought to West Texas. You'd like to meet
the guy who brought him West Texas, because that guy's
a maverick. That guy's a wildcatter. That guy is larger
than life. He smokes sixty two cigarettes a day. He
drinks a fifth of whiskey by noon. He's stone cold, sober,
(29:31):
he's loud. He's got a big old belt buckle. That's Mike.
Those are the guys that made Texas seventy years later.
Farmers and ranchers say the sheep are an invasive species,
munching up all the vegetation and competing for resources with
native Texas grazers like big horn sheep or mule deer. Oh, so,
they're basically the Democrats. Texas lawmakers this year added aw
(29:54):
dads to the very short list of animal hunters of
animals that hunters are allowed to shoot from helicopters for.
Prior to this legislation, only two animals were on that list,
hogs and coyotes. The large sheep's population has spread from
Fort Stockton to the mountains of El Paso and over
the plains. They're growing numbers that made it difficult for
(30:14):
ranchers to manage their properties effectively. The sheep are also
not known to be fence jumpers. In actuality, they trample fences,
which can cost thousands of dollars of damage. Well, these
are interesting. So I would like somebody who knows a
lot about awdads, preferably because you've raised them, or you're
(30:35):
a veterinarian who's treated them, or you're an awdad breeder.
May not yourself. You know you own the addads and
you you know they. I would like to hear from you.
Seven to one three nine nine nine one thousand seven
one three nine nine nine one thousand. How come I
never heard of awdads man larbery sheep. I like aw
dad better. Yeah, Oh, absolutely,
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So Michael vari show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
In the name of our God, I ask you to
have mercy upon the people in our country.
Speaker 4 (00:23):
We're scared now.
Speaker 5 (00:26):
A precious twelve year old girl from Houston, who last
month was tied up, assaulted and strangled to death aft
to walk into the convenience or just a block away
from her house. Her body was dumped near the side
of the road in a shallow creek, found by some
onlookers who couldn't believe what they had witnessed. Charged with
(00:47):
Joscelyn's heinous murder. Or two illegal aliens from Venezuela who
came across our border were in custody and were then
released into the country by this horrible, horrible administration that
we have right now.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Wants he asked you to have mercy, mister President, on
those in our communities whose children fear that their parents
will be taken away.
Speaker 6 (01:19):
Is there a way to carry out mass deportation without
separating families?
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Of course, yes, families can be deported.
Speaker 7 (01:27):
Together way you want.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
May God grant us the strength and courage to honor
the dignity of every human being.
Speaker 5 (01:52):
I also met recently with the heartbroken mother and sister
Rachel Maurn.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Rachel was a thirty seven year old mom of.
Speaker 5 (02:01):
Five beautiful children who was brutally raped and murdered while
out on her run. She wanted to keep herself in
good shape. It was very important she was murdered. The
monster responsible first killed another woman in El Salvador before
he was let into America by the White House.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
This White House let.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
Them in.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
Speak the truth to one another, in love and welcomely
with each other and our God.
Speaker 6 (02:40):
To the mains of illegal amiens that Joe Bind's released
in our country and violation of federal law.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
You better start packing now because you're going home kidnapped.
The reference to Loretta in that song reminds me that,
(03:12):
oddly enough, Jim Mudd and I had worked together for
several years before we realized that both of our mothers
were named Loretta. What are the odds? Loretta? That's one
of those names. You didn't have a lot of them,
You had a few in that period. The Loretta Lynn
Loretta Sweat just passed away. Ramon, did you know that? Ramona?
(03:37):
Are you there? Why were you talking to drunk Mark?
Why would you take time away from the show talking
to drunk Mark, who calls every single day. It shows
up as drunk Mark. Well, just go ahead and tell
me what was the conversation. I'm just curious. What is
he still living at the corner of twenty nine twenty
in Robert's Road, across from law plus seat of waiting
(03:58):
for them to open it for so can apply for
a busboy job. Huh, he's waiting for uppermandonment to arrive. Oh, well,
they might have got they might have got deported. I
got news. If you want to learn more about Brian Wilson,
there's a documentary called Long Promised Rose Came Road, Long
(04:19):
Promised Road. It is with the editor of Rolling Stone magazine,
Jason Fine. It was originally conceived as a sit down conversation,
but Brian Wilson couldn't couldn't function in that environment, and
so he, uh, Jason Fine just drove him around. As
(04:40):
they drove around, they had a camera on it and
they just talked and as it came apparently was it
was like getting George Jones to record he stopped loving
her today. It was a long drawn out process to
get it out of him. I don't know I don't
know that there's anything to be gained from watching the documentary,
be honest with you. It's his passing and a number
(05:02):
of people have asked where they can learn more about him.
They made a movie about him about ten years ago,
and the movie was an absolute flop. It's not well done.
If you want to learn more about Brian Wilson, in
my opinion, you go back to the music and you
go back to him at that time. You want to
know about Brian Wilson, you study the fact that, like
(05:22):
Britney Spears and Michael Jackson and a lot of a
lot of artistic superstars, you find that there is an
overbearing presence of their parent. I mean you can see
this in sports with Todd Morenovitch, Todd Morenovitch's father and
(05:43):
how he destroyed him. There are a number of these
cases where, for that matter, Dion Sanders I think, will
end up having done that to Shadur. But be that
as it may. Brian Wilson's father, I think his name
was Murray, was the band manager and and he the
band out grew him pretty fast. He wasn't he wasn't
(06:05):
and there's an awkwardness in the studio there's footage of
it where Brian Wilson basically tells him, look, oh man,
get out of here. You you've rode us too hard
and put us up wet and we're done and you're
not managing us anymore. And the old man has to
move on. And it's quite interesting. There's also Jacob Dillon
did a documentary called Echo in the Canyon that it
(06:28):
was called and Uh, and there's a Brian Wilson segment
there that's probably a better a better deal. So most
of you know that one of my best friends in
the world is Russell Lebara, but you may not know
that his number two is also one of my best friends.
Have a separate and distinct although we often do things
(06:49):
together as a threesome, but sometimes it's just me and Jonathan.
He'll come over and hang out to the house with
me and my wife. But his number two, Jonathan Kim,
who's now president of the organization. Today is his twenty
fifth anniversary with Russell. And yes, ramone, he did get
a watch. Yes, I don't deserve No, I don't deserve
(07:13):
the credit for your watch. Your watch was at the
direction of Eddie Martini, and that was Sheila Sheila Sylvia Jones.
Where did I get Sheila? Oh that's Russell's sister in law.
Sylvia Jones and Charlie Pania were the ones that made
that happen at the direction of Eddie Martini. But yes,
(07:34):
Jonathan did get a watch out of the deal, a
very nice watch. I'm not going to say it's nicer
than yours. I'm just saying if you hocked both of them,
you could get further if you were trying to, you know,
get cash to go on the run. But I would
like you to take a moment as we paid tribute
(07:56):
to Ramone, because lord knows he has to have that.
You know, we don't pay tribute enough to Chad, who's
very quietly the heart and soul of the show. That's
why he's executive producer. Jim gets his due and Coon
has only been here for a couple of coffee, so
we can't we can't judge goobyget but Russell going over
the top for twenty five years of Jonathan Kim. I
(08:18):
hope that's a I hope find somebody in your organization
who's been there a while to tell them thank you
for who they are right now, because that matters. It
was funny.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Michael Berry.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
Oh no, I won't do that. It's too much for month.
She won't go that.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
That was so funny, Jimca.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Go back to the state of man. In Luck's original theory,
it was a very simple state. Survival required the entirety
of man's energy. You you fend it off enemies. You
(09:04):
sought out food constantly. You think about a world where
you have to provide for your own food, whether you
grow it or kill it. You have to prepare it
and you cannot preserve it. That's where brining salting preservation
(09:26):
techniques first began, an attempt to make beef jerky out
of beef so that it would last longer because it
would spoil so fast. Same is true of vegetables, which
were even harder. You had no cold storage. You could
heat things on a fire, but you could not preserve
them long term. You think about the difficulties of pregnancy
(09:47):
and childbirth without all of the pain relief and all
of the things we have available to us now, many
of which have been perverted in Big Farmer's interest. But
it was a difficult time. Bait the bullet had mean.
But when you think about survival, and it was just survival.
There was so little time for arts of music and
(10:10):
poetry and storytelling and dance and writing and painting and
the like. There was so little time for such a thing,
and so much time devoted to the necessary chores of survival.
And through the years we developed expertise in one way
(10:31):
or another, whether that's growing food or cooking it, or
preserving it, or innovating, inventing, creating in order to find
food storage and food preparation and food delivery and food
extraction and all these sorts of things that as mankind,
we did. It took thousands of years, of which we
are the beneficiary. They're all handed to us on our
doorsetow And somewhere along the way the idea prevailed. This
(10:59):
is a post modern this this is the pox of
post modern Western civilization. The communist, the selfish, the atheist.
All of these ideas came about as a result of
too much time on your hands. Because mankind needs a challenge.
(11:24):
Man man needs to be engaged, he needs to be fulfilled.
When I was younger, I thought that when I was older,
I wanted to be happy. That's what we're told. Whatever
makes you happy, you want to be happy. Happy is
the most overrated emotion. You know what happens when you're
too happy, You become ditty, You become Jeffrey Epstein. Happiness,
(11:49):
as we think, is this idea of not having to work,
not having somewhere we need to be, not having people
who depend on us, rely on us, not having to
be accountable and responsible. We'll be happy. We'll sleep when
we want and rise when we want, and eat what
we want and do what we want. And that might
(12:10):
just be nothing all the time. And many people have
achieved that state, but it turns out it is not.
As it turns out happiness that is not happiness. You
think it's going to be happiness. A lot of people
think they're going to be happy retired because now aladd
they won't have to work. And you'll be surprised how
(12:30):
many find that they're not happy. And that is because
mankind's struggle and search for meaning is a search for purpose.
When you find purpose, you can equate purpose and the
contentment you get, the fulfillment you get from purpose. You
can equate that with happiness if you like. But that
(12:52):
does not mean sloth. It does not mean simply sleeping
all the time. Or being in a drug induced state,
which is what often happens. People start finding ways to
increase fulfillment because like any drug, Like any drug, slovenliness
or sloth becomes something you need more of to derive
(13:14):
the same hit. And that's the problem with every drug.
The problem with every drug is the first hits the best,
and it goes downhill from there, and you're always in
search of that hit. I've spent a fair amount of
time talking to atticts of various drugs, and it all
comes back to the same thing. There's that first hit,
and then the rest of the time to chase for it,
(13:34):
and the things you sacrifice trying to get back to
that one initial awesome moment. So man search for purpose
ends up being more important than his desire for happiness.
Happiness is a byproduct of purpose. Why couldn't Tom Brady
(13:56):
leave playing professional football an absolute physical grind, taking hits,
brutal hits twenty four to seven study of game film
injuries that you never knew about because he played through them.
How many laps did he run? Weights did he lift?
How did he deny himself food and ensure that he
(14:16):
got sufficient rest and took medicine because he found purpose
in that. So I think about the career of Jonathan
Kim Russell's number two, and I think about the team
I have built around me and the purpose I find
every single day and the contentment I derive from interacting
with Chad and Jim and Darryl. Is that our whole
(14:39):
team me, Chad, Jim, Oh, Chance, Sandy Rachel. Yeah, that's
our complete team. I think about the enjoyment and contentment
and iron sharpens iron of being around now. So I
got hit with a Okay, ramone yes, ramone yes. So
(15:02):
my challenge to you, and maybe it's your boss, Maybe
it's not your employee, Maybe it's the president of the
company that you brought up through the years. Maybe it's
your maybe it's your wife who stays home and runs
the household. So that when I always told my wife
when she retired, she never fully retired, She's been on
boards and things like that, but it was always, you know,
(15:23):
don't underestimate your value to this family and what you
do that gives us. So so call and thank that
person right now. Please, the proceedings the Court of Impeachment
is hereby dissolved, mister Michael Barry Well, not about the
desert wraps.
Speaker 8 (15:37):
Her all up.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Why should I save his lide?
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Why should I write this wrong?
Speaker 2 (15:44):
When I have come so far and struggle for so long.
What just happened? We were just getting to the good part.
President Trump was at the Kennedy Center last night. He
(16:05):
appointed you will recall the President's discretion to be the
chairman of the Kennedy Center. He appointed himself, and I
love that, so we can bring some sanity back to
the arts in this country. Les Minz is apparently, if
not his favorite, one of his favorite musicals, and so
(16:25):
he was in attendance last night, and he goes up
further in my esteem for that being, if not his favorite,
one of his favorites, because it holds that place for
me as well. It's a great story. It's a great
story of redemption. No, that's not where they all dressed
like cats. That's a whole different, that's the whole. No,
it's not where they go underground either that No. No, please,
(16:48):
the awesome note, not the one with the half mask.
Thank you for participating. Your participation is appreciated. I think
this is one of the best stories in sports in
a while. The cindere story of Murray State, which is
out of Kentucky. No reason you'd know that where they are,
who they are. This is such a wonderful story. Murray
(17:09):
State in their first College World Series. Now this is
a school. Their home stadium seats only eight hundred people.
The story that is getting all the attention is that
their coach, his name is Dan Skirka. He gets paid
sixty eight thousand dollars a year, not nothing, but not
(17:29):
what you know schloss or one of the guys at
A and M or ut or one of the big
powerful programs makes and he cuts the grass on the
field himself. They will open against UCLA powerhouse, well funded
on Saturday. Put it into perspective. John Savage, the coach
of UCLA Bruins, makes about a million dollars a year.
(17:52):
Dan Starker makes sixty eight and he cuts the fields
grass himself. Murray State, keep your eye out, which is
a true, true Cinderella story. The story from CBS Sports.
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Murray State is headed to the College World Series and
has to be one of the better Cinderella stories for
multitude of reasons. For starters, they're the definition of a
mid major. The school has a total enrollment of nine
eight hundred and thirty two students. Is located in Murray, Kentucky,
a city with a population of just over seventeen thousand people.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
Their home stadium seats just eight hundred spectators.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Griffin Demarris Faction News five reported their head coach Dan
Skirka Mose de Grass. Other fans have said the players
are responsible for tarping the field. Skirka is a story
in and of himself verslbeless vers soil bless to the
former Juco BANDA and D two player. Skirka was a
community college assistant for more than a decade before accepting
his first head coaching gig as head coach of the
(18:44):
Racers in twenty nineteen.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
According to the Greenwood Commonwealth newspaper, head coach Dan S.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Kirka makes sixty eight thousand dollars a year for context
Ole misshead coach Mike Bianco makes one point six million
dollars per year, the same Old Miss team that Murray
State eliminated in the regional, A regional by the way
which they were the lowest seed in Oxford A four
seat the feeding number fifteen Old Mis twice number eighteen
Georgia Tech and then duke in the Supers to advance
to their first College World Series in school history. The
(19:10):
program has been around since nineteen twenty eight, and nearly
one hundred years later, there finally headed to Omaha for
a chance at winning its first.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Ever College World Series. I love stories like that. My
kids will come into the living room when I'm watching
a game, walk in, and before they sit down, they
will announce which team I'm rooting for, and the team
I'm rooting for, and they're always right, is the team
that's losing. So years ago, I think it was Crockett.
(19:40):
He walked in and they say Murray State was playing
in UCLA. And he'd walk in and they're down seven
to nothing. Then he'll go, oh, it was playing, Oh,
Murray State and Ucla. Who are you rooting? Oh, nevermind,
you're rooting for Murray State. How do you know that?
Because you always root for whoever's losing. Why do you
say that? Because it's true. You always root for the
un and you always root for whoever's losing. And it's
(20:02):
true because I made a conscious decision years ago to
stop driving myself crazy watching sports. Sports are a diversion
from real life. If you find people who live for
sports as a fan like they you know, they got
whatever their team, They wear that team's jersey every day.
(20:23):
They got it on their vehicle, they got it on
their house, They fire the flag. They don't have any
stress in their life. That becomes their thing. People who
have a lot of stress pull back and enjoy the sport,
the diversion from the stress of life. If you're an
emergency room doctor, you don't really have the energy to
be that worried over the Texans pick. You just go
(20:45):
to the game and enjoy and take some other people
and watch them have fun. That's why it's so much
fun to take a kid to the game, because they
get so into the game. But there's something magical and
wonderful about the outlier, the underdog, the person who's not
supposed to be there and gets there. Tell me your
(21:07):
your favorite underdog story, all right, think on it. I'll
give you one. Remember Everson Walls. Everson Walls played dB
for the Dallas Cowboys. That was back when the draft
went more rounds. He was picked back there about where
Shdeur Sanders was. He wasn't quite mister irrelevant, but there
were more rounds back then. He wasn't even supposed to
make the team.
Speaker 8 (21:27):
That guy.
Speaker 2 (21:28):
What a career Everson Walls had. I love players that
everyone sleeps on and then they become superstars. You remember
Kurt Warner. Kurt Warner married a woman whose child had
severe disabilities. I mean, I mean, I think, incapable of speech,
wheelchair bound. Kurt Warner is a man's man.
Speaker 8 (21:48):
You do something like that.
Speaker 2 (21:49):
I think she's older at him too. Kurt Warner is
a man's man. You do something like that. Yeah, yeah,
Murray state, Michael Berry almost god.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Like say that, Jim, I don't know st swimming Ooh.
Speaker 8 (22:26):
I want to congratulate Michael Berrey on interviewing George Farming
Grill yesterday. That was good.
Speaker 4 (22:32):
Uh, he got a lot of information out of him.
Speaker 5 (22:35):
I had not knowed before and things and Whatusha was
over here just watering it.
Speaker 8 (22:41):
The mouth, know you was she was wadding at the mouth.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
You know you ain't heard the end of that.
Speaker 7 (22:46):
Honey.
Speaker 4 (22:47):
They're gonna be looping that over and over and ever.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Advertisement you remember how they wore out Elba Woods.
Speaker 4 (22:52):
Oh my god, I was so tired of hearing about.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
How they did that.
Speaker 8 (22:55):
Man, bless it's hard, but come on six months later,
quit thinking yourself off.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Come on, Oh lord, that's right.
Speaker 4 (23:02):
Oh Watusa was mocking macl Berry. This money watch's the
comear do your Michael Berry versation.
Speaker 8 (23:09):
Come here, what is your passion? Go find your past,
and that's what you need to do for anything. It
would always be picking up people yard.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (23:27):
Go ahead, hug yo, chill trying my wife smoking hide.
Speaker 8 (23:33):
If you don't think that's funny, I can't be your friend.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
Oo oo.
Speaker 8 (23:39):
She nailed it, your boy. Oh Wausa got that Shirley
que out liquor flowing in her blood stream.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
High right, and now back to the mical Berry program.
Speaker 2 (23:53):
I would love to get inside of the mind of
somebody who does something like this and find out what
was the end game. A man steals an ambulance from
Ben Tobb as EMTs, took the patient inside and leads
the popo on a thirty minute chase. At one point,
the ambulance thief turned on the lights and sirens to
(24:13):
move through traffic. Houston Fire Department rights on social media,
please do not steal our ambulances while we are transferring
care at the hospital. The story from Khou. Then Ambulance
forty was stolen out of Bentwn Hospital.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
This is the scene of the crash that ended a
Houston police chase after an ambulance was stolen.
Speaker 9 (24:35):
When up broke the window out, suspect refused to get out,
still was trying to red the engine to drive off.
Speaker 6 (24:40):
Era Leven, capturing the moment Houston police officers approached and
use a canine to force a driver out, leaving him
with an arm injury. From the ground, you could see
officers surrounding the man taking him into custody. We're told
the driver lost control at some point, went into the
ditch between a tree and a telephone pole, and officers
ordered him to get out of the vehicle.
Speaker 9 (25:00):
Between the helicopter and unmarked nuts and the tracker. We
were able to follow the ambulance for about thirty minutes
here to homes at Almeda.
Speaker 6 (25:07):
One of the tires blew out during the chase. Undercover
officers followed from a distance as they tracked him. The
ambulance was at BenOp Hospital. We're told both EMTs removed
a patient and took them into the emergency room, leaving
the vehicle running.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
They're supposed to be secured and they're allowed to be
running as long as it's secured.
Speaker 6 (25:25):
It's unclear why it was not secured. The policy we're
told is all equipment must be secured. HBD tells us
the suspect taken to the hospital to be treated and
will be going to jail.
Speaker 2 (25:39):
You know, stealing an ambulance could leave somebody without critical care,
critical treatment, and so that guy should be dragged out
of the ambulance because it's not an accident, eat an
accident and shot just on the spot, just shot, or
(25:59):
if you want to have a try, I'll preside everybody here. Everybody, Okay,
what's your We already know the case against you. What's
your defense? Oh, you're on. I was drunk and being stupid. Okay,
you're done. Go ahead and put a bullet in him.
Let's move on down the road because that guy that
you're just done, there's no way run there. That being said,
(26:19):
it would be funny to be in the ambulance watching
that dude, Like what's he thinking in his mind? Is
he going rambow? Is he giggling? Is he in on
the joke? Is he nuts? Is he just hammer drunk?
What in the world is going through his head. All right,
we have a moment of audience participation. I'll give the
(26:40):
phone number out In a moment, I'm about to mispronounce something.
So there's a lot of people who love to lord
over that you don't know how to say their thing.
And I will admit I don't know how to say
this thing. Ramon, do you know how to pronounce the word?
Speaker 8 (26:57):
No, it's not.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
I'm sorry. Listen to me. A Oh you d a
d all dads, all dads. You know what all dads are?
How do you know you've eaten them? Are they good eating?
Speaker 7 (27:13):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (27:13):
What's your huh? They're not good?
Speaker 9 (27:16):
Oh?
Speaker 8 (27:16):
You eat it?
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Just to say you know what, I'm gonna go ahead
and tell you this. Don't I'm not gonna say it's
on the air. But I'll go over to Rainbow Lodge
sometimes with nothing and we'll order exotic meats. And I'm
gonna tell you this, to say it tastes like chicken
is not accurate, but it'd be better if it did.
Most of that stuff is dry as a popcorn. For it,
it's just not good. So what they have to do
(27:39):
is they have to put like a mint chutney or
a fig sauce. You got to put all this stuff
on it. If you don't, you know what, you don't
have to put stuff on a rabbi. You don't need
to put anything on it. You don't need There's nothing
you don't eat a ramikan wooster syre sauce sauce or
a sorry, a ramikin of a one. And you know
who you are. If you're the person that does that,
(28:01):
you don't need it. You just you can put some
butter on it. Sure, absolutely you can put some butter.
You can put what's the stuff they put in the butter,
the green leaf deal? You can put some deal butter
on there. Sure, But here's my question. We might have
to call Holmes Williams or somebody on this. I'll give
a phone numb out in a moment. Here is the story.
(28:23):
Barbary Sheep Barbary Coast. Barbary Pirates were the original Muslims
in the in the in the Marine Corps hymn that
that Thomas Jefferson was constantly having to battle. The Barbary
Pirates were the Somalis of their era in terms of
disrupting trade. Barbary sheep also known as do you say
(28:44):
It's all dads will soon be allowed to be shot
from helicopters for sport in Texas, joining hogs and coyotes
on the allowable list. From the Texas Tribune quote barbary
sheep or massive beasts with large crescent horns and a
mane that drapes from the bottom of their neck to
their stomachs, also known as awdads, The animals are native
(29:08):
to the mountains of northern Africa. In the nineteen fifties,
they were brought to West Texas. You'd like to meet
the guy who brought him West Texas, because that guy's
