Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time time, time, time, lock and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
And now a totally random week in review from the past.
Take a guess when this.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Was special report. We are coming on the air live tonight.
Moments after shots have rung out at a rally where
President Trump was addressing the crowd.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
And I really see something that said, take a look
at what happened.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
Trump's security detail lifting him up from the ground as
he raises his fist, his ear and.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Face bloody, gesturing to the crowd, raises.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
His fist, his ear and face bloody, gesturing to the crowd.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Recall being this angry in my life.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
It's the kind of anger you have that isn't because
of one incident or one statement or one act.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
It is a boiling anger.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
Ladies and gentlemen, The Chairman of the Republican National Committee,
Michael Otley of North Carolina.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
This convention, welcome to order.
Speaker 5 (01:24):
Please welcome the next President of the United States, Donald J.
Speaker 6 (01:30):
Trump.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
We're effectively run in this country via the Democrats, via
our corporate oligarchs, by a bunch of childless cat ladies
who are miserable at their own lives and the choices
that they've made, and so they want to make the
rest of the country miserable too.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
And this convention tells one hell of a story, the
story of America, and.
Speaker 6 (01:49):
I love it.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
And the union representing Texas utility workers are urging people to.
Speaker 7 (01:54):
Leave Blinemen alone.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
This comes after multiple reports of violence and someone legibly
pulling out an a crew.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
We've had guys have guns pulled on them. I had
a crew out in sugar Land.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
I had guys have AK forty seven standing across the
street from him. I am perfectly fine. If a person
pulls a gun on the lineman with someone shooting and
killing them, that is a deadly threat, period, end of story.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
This is not complicated to me. That's what I.
Speaker 6 (02:22):
Hope what happens.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
I don't need I mention.
Speaker 6 (02:43):
The won't.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
All right, I don't need that. One should be pretty
easy for you.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Probably too easy, President Trump. I'm shot in the head.
Fun This is a datish etched into your mind. July thirteenth,
Ramone's birthday. Yes, thank you, Ramon, Please don't interrupt.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
And that was a Saturday.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
The following Friday, Chad's Weekend Review featured prominently the assassination
attempt and shooting of our president.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
I will remind you.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
That Christopher Ray, the FBI director, said he wasn't sure
the president had been shot. Might have been shrapnel that
hit him. Oh, justice is coming for you, Chris Ray.
Justice is coming. So if you guessed the week of
July thirteen, give yourself a pat on the back.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
You did very well.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
I am reminded by James Arnold, don't forget Gnado small school,
first time going to state far from Houston. And I
am reminded by County Commissioner Harris County Commissioner Tom Ramsay
that the Woodville Eagles are going to state for the
first time in school history. Woodville was in our district
(04:17):
that was a three A school back then they changed
all the school sizes, so I don't know what size
category they're going for, but it does not matter. They're
going to state. So that means that we really need
to go to the picket House. I have been advised
that because there's some wealthy Woodvillions, that there is a
(04:40):
runway not far from the picket house, and that if
you call the picket house and tell them that you're
flying your little plane from Houston or San Antone or
wherever that people fly into Woodville and the picket house
will go pick you up and bring you to eat there.
(05:01):
There was a book years ago, I think it was
called The two hundred Dollars Burger, and the idea was
you'd have a lot of these guys that would get
a pilot's license and they'd have a little bitty Cessna
or a little piper beach what is it beachcraft that'd
have a little bitty plane and they would take their
(05:23):
wife on a Saturday and they would hop in the
plane and they'd fly to somewhere, it didn't matter where
they'd fly, like to Woodville. The Brenham Airport always had
that fantastic diner and I don't know if it's still there.
They struggle to keep that thing afloat because it's just
not enough business. It will never make it unless people
(05:48):
go to eat there who aren't in a plane. But
the point of the two hundred dollars Burger was that
you would you would spend one hundred and eighty dollars
on fuel to go and have a burger. You'd land
at the airport and it would be other people just
like you who were there having their burger and there
would be the wives and I had an aunt Sheila
(06:12):
and uncle Glenn. They're still alive, but they were in
a car club and so that was kind of their
thing they did. It's good if a couple has an
activity they can do together. And he always had a
like a nineteen thirties. I don't know what exactly the
car was. I think it was a Ford, but I
could be wrong with the rumbel seat or rumble seat
(06:33):
was it? Is it rumble or rumpel rumble? I think
in the back. And he was always restoring an old car,
and he was in old car clubs and the wives
would go out there and it was a big deal.
You'd go out there on a Saturday, and they all
knew each other from all over the state. They were
from Orange, but there was always a car show that
they were going. So if if Uncle Glenn and Ain't
Sheila weren't at, you know, something that we were doing,
(06:56):
it would be, oh, well, they're they're at the they're
at the car club. So my wife sent me an
email this morning of an article she read over the
weekend that Tillman is serving a wagu state at Mastros
for a thousand dollars a state one thousand dollars a plate,
(07:19):
and it's called an A five Japanese wagu. And the
reason they're able to command one thousand dollars is because,
according to Tillman, you can't get this particular wagu outside
of Japan. You know, there are there are breeders, ranchers, farmers,
(07:41):
I guess ranchers in Texas that are raising breeds of
wagu because people love wagu so much, but this particular
wagu you have to get flown over from Japan, and
they don't let it out lightly. So I don't know
what he's paying for. Speaking of which, if you didn't
hear us say last week, it has not been.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Made official, but.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Sources tell me that President Trump wants Tillman Furtita for
his ambassador to Italy, which, as you know, the Fertitas
are of Italian ancestry. What an honor that would be
for him. And we are delighted that Tillman Fertita has
(08:28):
become a sponsor not only of our Houston show, but
of our national show as well, through Premiere for the
Golden Nugget, which you can find at Golden Nugget LC
dot com, which kind of makes sense because if you
want to talk about the people that are going, they're
driving two hours to Lake Charles to see shows.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
I looked up their shows. They got Angela Johnson in January.
Speaker 6 (08:53):
I love her.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Got Little Riverband. Anyway, it's Golden Nugget LC dot com.
Speaker 7 (08:58):
What's the name?
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Ysaye?
Speaker 7 (09:00):
Michael Buddy?
Speaker 1 (09:05):
All right, to the phone lines we go.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
But first, te Baker says little side story about the
Woodville Eagles coach Ty Robinson. His dad, Wendell Robinson, was
my high school coach at Bremond. I don't know how
to pronounce that, so I'm probably getting it wrong. He
went to several state championships. He's a Texas high school
football legend and is in the Texas High School Coaches
(09:32):
Hall of Fame. His son bo Robinson played d line
at Texas and took Yoakum to the state championship a
few years ago. Ty is his youngest son and has
the Woodville Eagles in the state championship. I thought that
was a pretty cool deal for a great family, and
Darren writes regarding the Picket House, my wife and I
(09:54):
sometimes stop and eat at the Picket House on the
way to our cabin that we have on Talita Ben.
It's always good.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
You know.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
When I was a kid, we would go to Taleda
Ben dan B and that was kind of a working
man's lake resort. And I've had people in Houston with
a little money when I mentioned that, scoff at that.
(10:21):
And I don't know why you need to do that.
If somebody, if somebody else is happy driving an old truck,
why put down their old truck just because you have
a fancy new truck. I don't understand that. If we
were happy at dan B and Taleda Ben, and we
(10:43):
could afford not to buy there, but to go for
a weekend and rent the little cabin with the screened
in mesh and sleep in there and bring our lunch
and have you know, all the boys there and enjoy ourselves.
I mean, don't you want that as a society When
(11:03):
people at each level of the socioeconomic strata can't find
a way to have recreation and a home and an
automobile and food and security for their home, even if
it's not as fancy as what you grew up with.
When people don't have those things, you don't want to
(11:24):
know what happens to your society because it's not good. Ronnie.
You're on the Michael Berry Show. What's you guys here?
Speaker 8 (11:33):
Oh Michael, you're shouting out all these schools lit a
little West Texas town out west of Love of playing
six man is going to be their first trip to
Jerry Jones World Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Who is the school?
Speaker 9 (11:47):
It is white Face And I don't mean that racial.
That's the name of the town, white Face, Texas.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
And they got a six man team that's going to
state for the very first time.
Speaker 9 (11:59):
Yep, p Gordon, which is between Eashland and Cisco, north
of Venner State.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
And how do you know this? Do you have some
connection to Whiteface?
Speaker 9 (12:10):
That's when I was raised, all my Greade school years,
plus my family, everybody in that little town of four hundred,
it seemed like it was keen to us on one
side of the other.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
That's the way Orangeville was when I was there. It
was all grands and pevetoes and Olias and maybe a
couple of a bears, and everybody was kin to somebody else.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
What year did you graduate?
Speaker 9 (12:37):
Nineteen sixty seven?
Speaker 1 (12:38):
How many were in your graduating class?
Speaker 9 (12:42):
There was a thirty class after me had nine.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
You know, I went.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
I went and saw North Shore play Westlake at Katie
Legacy Stadium on Saturday, and both of them are six
A teams. And it was the craziest thing. I've never
seen anything like this because my boys played three A
football and every play, every single play, regardless of the scheme,
(13:16):
regardless of the down and yards to go, each of
them would send out two new old linemen and two
new d linemen every play. You talk about depth, those
players didn't. At a three A school, A lot of
the kids go both ways on the line, like Travis Hunter.
No big deal, they just they never come off the field.
(13:39):
These boys would go out for a play, they might
go out for two plays, and the coach is steady
cycling them through. Well, that makes a world of difference
by the time you get to the fourth quarter, A
world of difference. John, you're on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Go ahead, sir, Hey you doing.
Speaker 7 (13:57):
Michael, I'm good, sir, right large tress Mac is okay.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Yes, indeed, I wouldn't like In fact that hold on, John,
we may we may be uh. He said, Hey, love
to see you at the shop, and I said, well,
I'll bring a couple of friends, and he said, let's
make an event of it. So we're thinking about maybe
Wednesday having a uh you know, we all go over
(14:24):
and wish him well.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
I'm sure I'm gonna have some little.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Old ladies say you gonna get him sick or come
up with some other reason and stress his bad form
or whatever. But we're gonna do it anyway because that's
what he wants, and we're gonna all meet over there.
I'm gonna see if we can maybe get it catered
and just have kind of a listener event before the
Christmas holidays, either Wednesday or Thursday. I'll let you know
as soon as I know, uh, and it'll probably be
around two thirty in the afternoon. I'm gonna see if
(14:49):
I can get fried chicken delivered. But that's another subject
for another day. Anyway, I'm sorry, John interrupted, Go ahead, sir, uh.
Speaker 7 (14:56):
I just like to comment on the Houston Police Department.
I had a truck that I've had for twenty five years.
I put it out for sale on the side of
my house and husband and he got stolen. Now this
got a million, one hundred thousand, only it is Christine.
I'm just too old to drive it anymore, and the
(15:16):
Houston police found my son's cart in it and called
him at seven o'clock Saturday morning, said we found your truck.
And my son said, my truck, said my dad, that's
my dad's truck is at his house. So he called me.
I looked out the one. I said, no, it ain't
it's gone. I had to even report it stolen, and
they found it.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
I mean, do you know the name of the officer.
Speaker 7 (15:40):
No, but I'm going to find it and I will
call you back. I mean, it was just I told him.
I said, I can't believe this. You know, nobody ever
driven that truck in twenty five years but me and
has a million, one hundred thousand miles on it. And
it is as Christine is the day I.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Drove it on. What is the making model of the truck.
Speaker 7 (15:58):
It's a Dodge three fe tough Ram extended cab with
a five point nine diesel and five speed.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Anything else I need to know about it.
Speaker 7 (16:09):
Well, I think that's about it. You know, it's it's
it's just been. Hey, I'm eighty years old. Saturday and
my wife and I went to New Orleans pulling the
trailer take some material to a job and I told her,
I said, you know what, this trunck is killing me.
It's killing me.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Why do you say that?
Speaker 7 (16:27):
But because going down I can it'll beat you to death.
You know, I had a trailer with twenty thousand pounds
on it.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
So done, you.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Sound fantastic for eighty you sound fantastic.
Speaker 7 (16:40):
Well, well, thank you. I feel great for my age.
You know I still work.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
You know, well, that's why you work every.
Speaker 7 (16:47):
Day at at our company. So I just, uh, I
just had to report on that police officer. I wish
I could remember his name.
Speaker 6 (16:56):
You know.
Speaker 7 (16:57):
They screamed the truck up some, but nothing I can't overcome.
I had a guy COVID to pick it up today
for twenty five thousand. See, and I didn't pay with
thirty thousand for twenty five years ago.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
You give thirty thousand for it, and thirty years later
you're getting twenty five back.
Speaker 7 (17:14):
Yes, sir, Wow, that's just one of those phenomenal things,
you know.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
You know, toy I don't know if you remember John
Toyota used to do a commercial and they would show
those I can't remember what that little bitty truck is.
My dad had one that little truck that people would
put big old tires.
Speaker 7 (17:31):
On one pen.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Yeah, my dad would use it for deer hunty and
those trucks that show.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
You know, here's Bob Smith.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
He got eight hundred and forty thousand miles on his
Hold on just second, John, I'm gonna track down who
the officer was and let's see if we can't get
him a little commendation.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Hold on, very brigade.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
Activate the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
JB. You're on the Michael Berry Show. Welcome to the program, sir,
go ahead.
Speaker 6 (18:03):
Good morning, Michael, Thank you for having me. I just
wanted to call and tell you how much I enjoy
and appreciate hear you talking about Woodville and dan Bee.
That's Tyler County, and that's where my whole family is from.
Both my parents graduated from Woodville High School around fifty
seven or fifty eight, and I learned how to fish
(18:24):
and hunt and waterski at Danbee Lake and it had
some of the best memories of my life. My grandparents
lived there, my aunt and uncles were up there, and
hearing you talking about that part of the country, since
my whole family is from there, it just makes me
light up when I hear you talk about.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
It, Well, that makes me happy. I'm happy to hear that.
What do you do now? Where do you live now?
Speaker 6 (18:51):
I live in Oak Forest, which is kind of Western
Heights basically. Yeah, I know, I grew up in Houston,
but I spent every I sent every summer up there,
and so I got called the country kid in school
because I know how to bey the hook and shoot
a rifle, and you know, I wasn't scared to ride
a horse and all that kind of stuff. And it
(19:11):
was because of that background in the country from where
my family was from. And sure it sure brings back
some wonderful memories.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Oh yeah, I can remember.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Being a little kid in Orange and we'd go to.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Dan Be.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
And you know, you'd go in and I think you
had to pay to get inside the campgrounds, and then
you know, you'd have your you'd.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Either have your little A lot of folks had a
little coalman pop up tents. I guess.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
I guess some people had places that they rented and
they kept a little fifth wheel or travel camp or
travel trailer or whatever down there. But we didn't have that,
but we would rent they'd have these little spaces where
it was a little wood framed cabin, but it wasn't
completely If you wanted, you could pay I think extra
(20:04):
and get an air conditioned but we would do the
little cabin with the mash to at least keep the
mosquitoes off of you, because this will be during the summer.
And we'd go down for the weekend. And that was, Man,
that was a big deal.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
But I can.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Remember being there and there was a kid named James
Walmack and he was older than me.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
And you know when you're a.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Little kid, the kids that are four or five years
older than you, Man, man, that's big boys. You're excited
to see, you know, somebody older than you. They're that
kind of your heroes. And I remember James Walmack was
riding his bike inside downb and I said, Mama, there's
James Walmack, Like, what are the chances We've come all
(20:47):
the way to New Zealand and there's somebody from Orange.
There can be no chance that that is James it is,
that's James Walmack from Orange.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
How have we come.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
All this way to see somebody else from Orange?
Speaker 1 (21:03):
But I didn't know.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
The whole place is full of people from Orange. It
felt like you know we had crossed the Atlantic Ocean,
which of course I never had at that point in
my life. So we were so far from home and
seeing somebody that we'd never seen. Who would have known,
Wayne Royal writes Zori, You are absolutely correct on the
one hundred dollars Hamburger.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
It's apparently was.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
One hundred dollars Hamburger, not two hundred dollars. But that
I must have added the Joe Biden inflation to it.
But anyway, private pilots are always looking around for a
cool place to fly to and grab lunch. Brenham, as
you mentioned, had a great place, just not enough road traffic.
We have several airports over here in Florida that are
suffering the same fate. One stupid thing is the small
(21:47):
airports here started charging a landing fee, so you pay
that just to go eat at the restaurant that oftentimes
is right there on the ramp. Sometimes they'll waive that
with a restaurant visit or purchase of fuel, sometimes they won't.
The feed deters a lot of pilots from flying there,
so the poor restaurants suffer. Congratulations on the newly added stations, Well,
(22:12):
those little FBOs it's a tough business model.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
You gotta sell. You gotta sell.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Fuel to people that land, and you can't keep that
fuel forever, and they don't have a consistent market for
that fuel. I'll never forget our old friend Ed Hindi.
He was flying back from either Oklahoma or Arkansas. He was,
(22:44):
and they couldn't make it all the way, and he
stopped somewhere in East Texas. I'm gonna say, Lufkin, it
might not be Lufkin. Ed Handy owns Taste of Texas
and used to do the morning show and KSV Dan
Patrick D nine A Henri Hindy wonderful people and Ed
(23:05):
pilots his own plane and they land at this little
FBO and I don't think there. I think this FBO
is just a chain link fence and a fuel tank.
And they fuel up, and somehow the FBO had the
little tiny airport had mislabeled or placed the fuel in
(23:29):
the wrong tank, and so they put the wrong fuel.
They had the wrong fuel for him to put into
his plane. And he gets up. It's enough to get
him up in the air, but that's about it. And
over the freeway he has to land, and so he
puts this thing down on the freeway and it He's
(23:50):
lucky to be alive. And you hear these stories on occasion,
and he will tell you God had a plan for him.
He's living on borrowed.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Time because.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Most people in a situation like that.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
The number of people who.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Die in little single engine planes, I remember years ago.
It's been decades ago, and I forget the exact qualification
you had to get to to get there. This is
like the fact that from sixty nine to seventy four,
who's the band Ramon? You always you always make three
(24:27):
Dog Night, three Dog Night had the most number one
hits from sixty nine to seventy four, not seventy to
seventy five, not sixty eight. Well, the number one cause
of death for doctors, say under the age of forty
was piloting single engine planes and crashing it. You've got
cornpop was a bad dude the Michael Berry Show. I'm
(24:53):
not going to say the name of this person because
I'm not authorized too, but she writes, I'm driving right now,
so I can't do the research at this moment, but
I will. My husband, who is a state trooper, told
me that the same people who own Colony Ridge have
purchased a big swath of acreage up in Woodville, and
(25:14):
they plan to do the same thing. Now that you're
talking about Woodville, it reminded me that I wanted to
find out more information about that. When I get home
and in front of my computer, I'll send you the
information that I have found. Maybe your sleuths will be
faster than me at digging up what's happening. Well, I'm
(25:39):
going to tell you this. You know, it's called Nimby.
Not in my backyard. No community wants a landfill near them.
I think it was Waller County a couple of years ago,
(25:59):
and they hired when Dolchafino to engage in an advocacy
campaign to keep the landfill from being in their neighborhood.
And I don't know how that thing turned out, but
what Dolchafino was able to uncover was at least the allegation.
(26:19):
I don't know if it was ever proven that there
were people on the take. And if that occurs, now
you've got a real cause to prevent this thing coming
into your neighborhood. Well, nobody wants a landfill near him,
nobody wants to prison near him. Nobody wants this stuff
(26:43):
near their neighborhood. It's usually in an area of devalued
land to start with, and it's very difficult to see
any increase in value after that. Nobody wants to be
around that understandable, right, But this Colony Ridge thing, you
(27:06):
know what RA won't see if you can find the story.
Chad sent the story last week. Just look up Colony
Ridge in our audio files. It was on page one
of his prep of maybe last Wednesday. There was a
guy who was arrested at Colony Ridge and he's charged.
(27:30):
When you see the charge, you don't quite understand what
it is. He's charged with a mass casualty. Now what
that means is killing multiple people. And the charge goes
to he is alleged to be a coyote who brings
(27:53):
people from the south of Mexico into the United States.
That's not what he's charged with. He's charged with killing
them if their families can't pay the next leg of
the journey. So what they do is they got thirty
forty fifty of these people and they say, Martinez, your
(28:18):
family hadn't paid us for this leg of the journey.
We don't get our money by Western Union tomorrow, we're
killing you and they do. And so when that happens,
Lopez and Rodriguez get on the phone with the family
back in Guatemala and this guy's Guatemala and go, hey, hey,
(28:38):
these people don't play. Get the money, sell a kidney,
whatever you got to do, send the money to these people,
because they're killing people. That's what's happening here. So did
you not find it? Did you look up Guatemala? Did
you ask, Chad, what are you doing? Why is rubbing
(29:02):
your bald head when.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
You're trying to find something on a computer?
Speaker 6 (29:04):
Help?
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Like a magic eight ball?
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Anyway, So let me ask you this, Of all the
places this bastard could be, why you think he felt
comfortable in Colony Ridge? Or more to the question, why
do you think he owned four different properties in Colony Ridge?
(29:31):
Wonder how many other people in Colony Ridge multiple property owners?
Do you think he's living in all four of those
Let's dig down what do you suspect is happening? You
think there's a chance that at least three out of
those four, because he could only live in one at
(29:53):
a time, is being used to house people. He runs
them into the country illegally, because he's got to have
somewhere to stash them before they send them out, right
or how long is this story? All right, we'll go
(30:15):
to break with it, So give me thirty secons. So
it's very possible that what this coyote. And by the way,
if there's one doing and how many.
Speaker 7 (30:25):
More are.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
So it's very possible.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
We don't know for sure that Colony Ridge has people
buying properties there that they're stashing illegals in.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
So part of their fee.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
When they get them into the United States, if they
don't kill them for a non payment, is to stash
them in a house short term or long term. That
Colony Ridge is a mess. You do not want it
around your neighborhood. You do not want it around you.
And I'm going to bet the people of Woodville are
not going to allow that to have And here was
the story.
Speaker 10 (31:01):
Today, the Department announces the arrests of multiple Guatemalan nationals
for their alleged involvement in a mass casualty human smuggling
event that occurred in Choppas, Mexico, on December ninth, twenty
twenty one. On that day, exactly three years ago today,
a semi trailer truck containing at least one hundred and
sixty migrants crashed, resulting in the deaths of more than
(31:24):
fifty people and injuring over one hundred others, many of
whom were also Guatemalan nationals. The arrest occurred as part
of an international enforcement operation coordinated by the Department and
Guatemalan authorities at the request of the United States. Guatemalan
law enforcement arrested multiple individuals in Guatemala, and US authorities
(31:47):
arrested another Guatemala national, Jorge Akapedo Ventura, in Cleveland, Texas.
According to the indictment filed in the Southern District of Texas,
from October twenty twenty one to February twenty twenty three,
the defendants allegedly conspired with other smugglers to facilitate the
travel of migrants from Guatemala through Mexico and route to
(32:10):
the United States. The defendants recruited Guatemalan migrants, they collected payment,
and arranged for travel to the United States. In some instances,
the defendants allegedly provided scripts and instructions to the migrants,
telling them what to say if they were apprehended. Some
of those migrants died or suffered serious injuries as a
(32:31):
result of the crash that occurred on December ninth, twenty
twenty one.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
That was the problem of justice. Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney
General Nicole Argin theeryor ar Hain theory and Spencer Lynde
Quiss at The Daily Wire had the story. He's done
a great job staying on this story.
It's that time time, time, time, lock and load.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
So Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
And now a totally random week in review from the past.
Take a guess when this.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Was special report. We are coming on the air live tonight.
Moments after shots have rung out at a rally where
President Trump was addressing the crowd.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
And I really see something that said, take a look
at what happened.
Speaker 4 (00:42):
Trump's security detail lifting him up from the ground as
he raises his fist, his ear and.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Face bloody, gesturing to the crowd, raises.
Speaker 4 (00:55):
His fist, his ear and face bloody, gesturing to the crowd.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Recall being this angry in my life.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
It's the kind of anger you have that isn't because
of one incident or one statement or one act.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
It is a boiling anger.
Speaker 5 (01:14):
Ladies and gentlemen, The Chairman of the Republican National Committee,
Michael Otley of North Carolina.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
This convention, welcome to order.
Speaker 5 (01:24):
Please welcome the next President of the United States, Donald J.
Speaker 6 (01:30):
Trump.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
We're effectively run in this country via the Democrats, via
our corporate oligarchs, by a bunch of childless cat ladies
who are miserable at their own lives and the choices
that they've made, and so they want to make the
rest of the country miserable too.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
And this convention tells one hell of a story, the
story of America, and.
Speaker 6 (01:49):
I love it.
Speaker 5 (01:50):
And the union representing Texas utility workers are urging people to.
Speaker 7 (01:54):
Leave Blinemen alone.
Speaker 2 (01:55):
This comes after multiple reports of violence and someone legibly
pulling out an a crew.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
We've had guys have guns pulled on them. I had
a crew out in sugar Land.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
I had guys have AK forty seven standing across the
street from him. I am perfectly fine. If a person
pulls a gun on the lineman with someone shooting and
killing them, that is a deadly threat, period, end of story.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
This is not complicated to me. That's what I.
Speaker 6 (02:22):
Hope what happens.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
I don't need I mention.
Speaker 6 (02:43):
The won't.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
All right, I don't need that. One should be pretty
easy for you.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Probably too easy, President Trump. I'm shot in the head.
Fun This is a datish etched into your mind. July thirteenth,
Ramone's birthday. Yes, thank you, Ramon, Please don't interrupt.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
And that was a Saturday.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
The following Friday, Chad's Weekend Review featured prominently the assassination
attempt and shooting of our president.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
I will remind you.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
That Christopher Ray, the FBI director, said he wasn't sure
the president had been shot. Might have been shrapnel that
hit him. Oh, justice is coming for you, Chris Ray.
Justice is coming. So if you guessed the week of
July thirteen, give yourself a pat on the back.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
You did very well.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
I am reminded by James Arnold, don't forget Gnado small school,
first time going to state far from Houston. And I
am reminded by County Commissioner Harris County Commissioner Tom Ramsay
that the Woodville Eagles are going to state for the
first time in school history. Woodville was in our district
(04:17):
that was a three A school back then they changed
all the school sizes, so I don't know what size
category they're going for, but it does not matter. They're
going to state. So that means that we really need
to go to the picket House. I have been advised
that because there's some wealthy Woodvillions, that there is a
(04:40):
runway not far from the picket house, and that if
you call the picket house and tell them that you're
flying your little plane from Houston or San Antone or
wherever that people fly into Woodville and the picket house
will go pick you up and bring you to eat there.
(05:01):
There was a book years ago, I think it was
called The two hundred Dollars Burger, and the idea was
you'd have a lot of these guys that would get
a pilot's license and they'd have a little bitty Cessna
or a little piper beach what is it beachcraft that'd
have a little bitty plane and they would take their
(05:23):
wife on a Saturday and they would hop in the
plane and they'd fly to somewhere, it didn't matter where
they'd fly, like to Woodville. The Brenham Airport always had
that fantastic diner and I don't know if it's still there.
They struggle to keep that thing afloat because it's just
not enough business. It will never make it unless people
(05:48):
go to eat there who aren't in a plane. But
the point of the two hundred dollars Burger was that
you would you would spend one hundred and eighty dollars
on fuel to go and have a burger. You'd land
at the airport and it would be other people just
like you who were there having their burger and there
would be the wives and I had an aunt Sheila
(06:12):
and uncle Glenn. They're still alive, but they were in
a car club and so that was kind of their
thing they did. It's good if a couple has an
activity they can do together. And he always had a
like a nineteen thirties. I don't know what exactly the
car was. I think it was a Ford, but I
could be wrong with the rumbel seat or rumble seat
(06:33):
was it? Is it rumble or rumpel rumble? I think
in the back. And he was always restoring an old car,
and he was in old car clubs and the wives
would go out there and it was a big deal.
You'd go out there on a Saturday, and they all
knew each other from all over the state. They were
from Orange, but there was always a car show that
they were going. So if if Uncle Glenn and Ain't
Sheila weren't at, you know, something that we were doing,
(06:56):
it would be, oh, well, they're they're at the they're
at the car club. So my wife sent me an
email this morning of an article she read over the
weekend that Tillman is serving a wagu state at Mastros
for a thousand dollars a state one thousand dollars a plate,
(07:19):
and it's called an A five Japanese wagu. And the
reason they're able to command one thousand dollars is because,
according to Tillman, you can't get this particular wagu outside
of Japan. You know, there are there are breeders, ranchers, farmers,
(07:41):
I guess ranchers in Texas that are raising breeds of
wagu because people love wagu so much, but this particular
wagu you have to get flown over from Japan, and
they don't let it out lightly. So I don't know
what he's paying for. Speaking of which, if you didn't
hear us say last week, it has not been.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Made official, but.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Sources tell me that President Trump wants Tillman Furtita for
his ambassador to Italy, which, as you know, the Fertitas
are of Italian ancestry. What an honor that would be
for him. And we are delighted that Tillman Fertita has
(08:28):
become a sponsor not only of our Houston show, but
of our national show as well, through Premiere for the
Golden Nugget, which you can find at Golden Nugget LC
dot com, which kind of makes sense because if you
want to talk about the people that are going, they're
driving two hours to Lake Charles to see shows.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
I looked up their shows. They got Angela Johnson in January.
Speaker 6 (08:53):
I love her.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Got Little Riverband. Anyway, it's Golden Nugget LC dot com.
Speaker 7 (08:58):
What's the name?
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Ysaye?
Speaker 7 (09:00):
Michael Buddy?
Speaker 1 (09:05):
All right, to the phone lines we go.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
But first, te Baker says little side story about the
Woodville Eagles coach Ty Robinson. His dad, Wendell Robinson, was
my high school coach at Bremond. I don't know how
to pronounce that, so I'm probably getting it wrong. He
went to several state championships. He's a Texas high school
football legend and is in the Texas High School Coaches
(09:32):
Hall of Fame. His son bo Robinson played d line
at Texas and took Yoakum to the state championship a
few years ago. Ty is his youngest son and has
the Woodville Eagles in the state championship. I thought that
was a pretty cool deal for a great family, and
Darren writes regarding the Picket House, my wife and I
(09:54):
sometimes stop and eat at the Picket House on the
way to our cabin that we have on Talita Ben.
It's always good.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
You know.
Speaker 2 (10:01):
When I was a kid, we would go to Taleda
Ben dan B and that was kind of a working
man's lake resort. And I've had people in Houston with
a little money when I mentioned that, scoff at that.
(10:21):
And I don't know why you need to do that.
If somebody, if somebody else is happy driving an old truck,
why put down their old truck just because you have
a fancy new truck. I don't understand that. If we
were happy at dan B and Taleda Ben, and we
(10:43):
could afford not to buy there, but to go for
a weekend and rent the little cabin with the screened
in mesh and sleep in there and bring our lunch
and have you know, all the boys there and enjoy ourselves.
I mean, don't you want that as a society When
(11:03):
people at each level of the socioeconomic strata can't find
a way to have recreation and a home and an
automobile and food and security for their home, even if
it's not as fancy as what you grew up with.
When people don't have those things, you don't want to
(11:24):
know what happens to your society because it's not good. Ronnie.
You're on the Michael Berry Show. What's you guys here?
Speaker 8 (11:33):
Oh Michael, you're shouting out all these schools lit a
little West Texas town out west of Love of playing
six man is going to be their first trip to
Jerry Jones World Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
Who is the school?
Speaker 9 (11:47):
It is white Face And I don't mean that racial.
That's the name of the town, white Face, Texas.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
And they got a six man team that's going to
state for the very first time.
Speaker 9 (11:59):
Yep, p Gordon, which is between Eashland and Cisco, north
of Venner State.
Speaker 1 (12:05):
And how do you know this? Do you have some
connection to Whiteface?
Speaker 9 (12:10):
That's when I was raised, all my Greade school years,
plus my family, everybody in that little town of four hundred,
it seemed like it was keen to us on one
side of the other.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
That's the way Orangeville was when I was there. It
was all grands and pevetoes and Olias and maybe a
couple of a bears, and everybody was kin to somebody else.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
What year did you graduate?
Speaker 9 (12:37):
Nineteen sixty seven?
Speaker 1 (12:38):
How many were in your graduating class?
Speaker 9 (12:42):
There was a thirty class after me had nine.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
You know, I went.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
I went and saw North Shore play Westlake at Katie
Legacy Stadium on Saturday, and both of them are six
A teams. And it was the craziest thing. I've never
seen anything like this because my boys played three A
football and every play, every single play, regardless of the scheme,
(13:16):
regardless of the down and yards to go, each of
them would send out two new old linemen and two
new d linemen every play. You talk about depth, those
players didn't. At a three A school, A lot of
the kids go both ways on the line, like Travis Hunter.
No big deal, they just they never come off the field.
(13:39):
These boys would go out for a play, they might
go out for two plays, and the coach is steady
cycling them through. Well, that makes a world of difference
by the time you get to the fourth quarter, A
world of difference. John, you're on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Go ahead, sir, Hey you doing.
Speaker 7 (13:57):
Michael, I'm good, sir, right large tress Mac is okay.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Yes, indeed, I wouldn't like In fact that hold on, John,
we may we may be uh. He said, Hey, love
to see you at the shop, and I said, well,
I'll bring a couple of friends, and he said, let's
make an event of it. So we're thinking about maybe
Wednesday having a uh you know, we all go over
(14:24):
and wish him well.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
I'm sure I'm gonna have some little.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
Old ladies say you gonna get him sick or come
up with some other reason and stress his bad form
or whatever. But we're gonna do it anyway because that's
what he wants, and we're gonna all meet over there.
I'm gonna see if we can maybe get it catered
and just have kind of a listener event before the
Christmas holidays, either Wednesday or Thursday. I'll let you know
as soon as I know, uh, and it'll probably be
around two thirty in the afternoon. I'm gonna see if
(14:49):
I can get fried chicken delivered. But that's another subject
for another day. Anyway, I'm sorry, John interrupted, Go ahead, sir, uh.
Speaker 7 (14:56):
I just like to comment on the Houston Police Department.
I had a truck that I've had for twenty five years.
I put it out for sale on the side of
my house and husband and he got stolen. Now this
got a million, one hundred thousand, only it is Christine.
I'm just too old to drive it anymore, and the
(15:16):
Houston police found my son's cart in it and called
him at seven o'clock Saturday morning, said we found your truck.
And my son said, my truck, said my dad, that's
my dad's truck is at his house. So he called me.
I looked out the one. I said, no, it ain't
it's gone. I had to even report it stolen, and
they found it.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
I mean, do you know the name of the officer.
Speaker 7 (15:40):
No, but I'm going to find it and I will
call you back. I mean, it was just I told him.
I said, I can't believe this. You know, nobody ever
driven that truck in twenty five years but me and
has a million, one hundred thousand miles on it. And
it is as Christine is the day I.
Speaker 1 (15:55):
Drove it on. What is the making model of the truck.
Speaker 7 (15:58):
It's a Dodge three fe tough Ram extended cab with
a five point nine diesel and five speed.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Anything else I need to know about it.
Speaker 7 (16:09):
Well, I think that's about it. You know, it's it's
it's just been. Hey, I'm eighty years old. Saturday and
my wife and I went to New Orleans pulling the
trailer take some material to a job and I told her,
I said, you know what, this trunck is killing me.
It's killing me.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Why do you say that?
Speaker 7 (16:27):
But because going down I can it'll beat you to death.
You know, I had a trailer with twenty thousand pounds
on it.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
So done, you.
Speaker 2 (16:37):
Sound fantastic for eighty you sound fantastic.
Speaker 7 (16:40):
Well, well, thank you. I feel great for my age.
You know I still work.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
You know, well, that's why you work every.
Speaker 7 (16:47):
Day at at our company. So I just, uh, I
just had to report on that police officer. I wish
I could remember his name.
Speaker 6 (16:56):
You know.
Speaker 7 (16:57):
They screamed the truck up some, but nothing I can't overcome.
I had a guy COVID to pick it up today
for twenty five thousand. See, and I didn't pay with
thirty thousand for twenty five years ago.
Speaker 2 (17:08):
You give thirty thousand for it, and thirty years later
you're getting twenty five back.
Speaker 7 (17:14):
Yes, sir, Wow, that's just one of those phenomenal things,
you know.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
You know, toy I don't know if you remember John
Toyota used to do a commercial and they would show
those I can't remember what that little bitty truck is.
My dad had one that little truck that people would
put big old tires.
Speaker 7 (17:31):
On one pen.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
Yeah, my dad would use it for deer hunty and
those trucks that show.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
You know, here's Bob Smith.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
He got eight hundred and forty thousand miles on his
Hold on just second, John, I'm gonna track down who
the officer was and let's see if we can't get
him a little commendation.
Speaker 1 (17:45):
Hold on, very brigade.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
Activate the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 1 (17:58):
JB. You're on the Michael Berry Show. Welcome to the program, sir,
go ahead.
Speaker 6 (18:03):
Good morning, Michael, Thank you for having me. I just
wanted to call and tell you how much I enjoy
and appreciate hear you talking about Woodville and dan Bee.
That's Tyler County, and that's where my whole family is from.
Both my parents graduated from Woodville High School around fifty
seven or fifty eight, and I learned how to fish
(18:24):
and hunt and waterski at Danbee Lake and it had
some of the best memories of my life. My grandparents
lived there, my aunt and uncles were up there, and
hearing you talking about that part of the country, since
my whole family is from there, it just makes me
light up when I hear you talk about.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
It, Well, that makes me happy. I'm happy to hear that.
What do you do now? Where do you live now?
Speaker 6 (18:51):
I live in Oak Forest, which is kind of Western
Heights basically. Yeah, I know, I grew up in Houston,
but I spent every I sent every summer up there,
and so I got called the country kid in school
because I know how to bey the hook and shoot
a rifle, and you know, I wasn't scared to ride
a horse and all that kind of stuff. And it
(19:11):
was because of that background in the country from where
my family was from. And sure it sure brings back
some wonderful memories.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
Oh yeah, I can remember.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Being a little kid in Orange and we'd go to.
Speaker 1 (19:26):
Dan Be.
Speaker 2 (19:28):
And you know, you'd go in and I think you
had to pay to get inside the campgrounds, and then
you know, you'd have your you'd.
Speaker 1 (19:34):
Either have your little A lot of folks had a
little coalman pop up tents. I guess.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
I guess some people had places that they rented and
they kept a little fifth wheel or travel camp or
travel trailer or whatever down there. But we didn't have that,
but we would rent they'd have these little spaces where
it was a little wood framed cabin, but it wasn't
completely If you wanted, you could pay I think extra
(20:04):
and get an air conditioned but we would do the
little cabin with the mash to at least keep the
mosquitoes off of you, because this will be during the summer.
And we'd go down for the weekend. And that was, Man,
that was a big deal.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
But I can.
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Remember being there and there was a kid named James
Walmack and he was older than me.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
And you know when you're a.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Little kid, the kids that are four or five years
older than you, Man, man, that's big boys. You're excited
to see, you know, somebody older than you. They're that
kind of your heroes. And I remember James Walmack was
riding his bike inside downb and I said, Mama, there's
James Walmack, Like, what are the chances We've come all
(20:47):
the way to New Zealand and there's somebody from Orange.
There can be no chance that that is James it is,
that's James Walmack from Orange.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
How have we come.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
All this way to see somebody else from Orange?
Speaker 1 (21:03):
But I didn't know.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
The whole place is full of people from Orange. It
felt like you know we had crossed the Atlantic Ocean,
which of course I never had at that point in
my life. So we were so far from home and
seeing somebody that we'd never seen. Who would have known,
Wayne Royal writes Zori, You are absolutely correct on the
one hundred dollars Hamburger.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
It's apparently was.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
One hundred dollars Hamburger, not two hundred dollars. But that
I must have added the Joe Biden inflation to it.
But anyway, private pilots are always looking around for a
cool place to fly to and grab lunch. Brenham, as
you mentioned, had a great place, just not enough road traffic.
We have several airports over here in Florida that are
suffering the same fate. One stupid thing is the small
(21:47):
airports here started charging a landing fee, so you pay
that just to go eat at the restaurant that oftentimes
is right there on the ramp. Sometimes they'll waive that
with a restaurant visit or purchase of fuel, sometimes they won't.
The feed deters a lot of pilots from flying there,
so the poor restaurants suffer. Congratulations on the newly added stations, Well,
(22:12):
those little FBOs it's a tough business model.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
You gotta sell. You gotta sell.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Fuel to people that land, and you can't keep that
fuel forever, and they don't have a consistent market for
that fuel. I'll never forget our old friend Ed Hindi.
He was flying back from either Oklahoma or Arkansas. He was,
(22:44):
and they couldn't make it all the way, and he
stopped somewhere in East Texas. I'm gonna say, Lufkin, it
might not be Lufkin. Ed Handy owns Taste of Texas
and used to do the morning show and KSV Dan
Patrick D nine A Henri Hindy wonderful people and Ed
(23:05):
pilots his own plane and they land at this little
FBO and I don't think there. I think this FBO
is just a chain link fence and a fuel tank.
And they fuel up, and somehow the FBO had the
little tiny airport had mislabeled or placed the fuel in
(23:29):
the wrong tank, and so they put the wrong fuel.
They had the wrong fuel for him to put into
his plane. And he gets up. It's enough to get
him up in the air, but that's about it. And
over the freeway he has to land, and so he
puts this thing down on the freeway and it He's
(23:50):
lucky to be alive. And you hear these stories on occasion,
and he will tell you God had a plan for him.
He's living on borrowed.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
Time because.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Most people in a situation like that.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
The number of people who.
Speaker 2 (24:06):
Die in little single engine planes, I remember years ago.
It's been decades ago, and I forget the exact qualification
you had to get to to get there. This is
like the fact that from sixty nine to seventy four,
who's the band Ramon? You always you always make three
(24:27):
Dog Night, three Dog Night had the most number one
hits from sixty nine to seventy four, not seventy to
seventy five, not sixty eight. Well, the number one cause
of death for doctors, say under the age of forty
was piloting single engine planes and crashing it. You've got
cornpop was a bad dude the Michael Berry Show. I'm
(24:53):
not going to say the name of this person because
I'm not authorized too, but she writes, I'm driving right now,
so I can't do the research at this moment, but
I will. My husband, who is a state trooper, told
me that the same people who own Colony Ridge have
purchased a big swath of acreage up in Woodville, and
(25:14):
they plan to do the same thing. Now that you're
talking about Woodville, it reminded me that I wanted to
find out more information about that. When I get home
and in front of my computer, I'll send you the
information that I have found. Maybe your sleuths will be
faster than me at digging up what's happening. Well, I'm
(25:39):
going to tell you this. You know, it's called Nimby.
Not in my backyard. No community wants a landfill near them.
I think it was Waller County a couple of years ago,
(25:59):
and they hired when Dolchafino to engage in an advocacy
campaign to keep the landfill from being in their neighborhood.
And I don't know how that thing turned out, but
what Dolchafino was able to uncover was at least the allegation.
(26:19):
I don't know if it was ever proven that there
were people on the take. And if that occurs, now
you've got a real cause to prevent this thing coming
into your neighborhood. Well, nobody wants a landfill near him,
nobody wants to prison near him. Nobody wants this stuff
(26:43):
near their neighborhood. It's usually in an area of devalued
land to start with, and it's very difficult to see
any increase in value after that. Nobody wants to be
around that understandable, right, But this Colony Ridge thing, you
(27:06):
know what RA won't see if you can find the story.
Chad sent the story last week. Just look up Colony
Ridge in our audio files. It was on page one
of his prep of maybe last Wednesday. There was a
guy who was arrested at Colony Ridge and he's charged.
(27:30):
When you see the charge, you don't quite understand what
it is. He's charged with a mass casualty. Now what
that means is killing multiple people. And the charge goes
to he is alleged to be a coyote who brings
(27:53):
people from the south of Mexico into the United States.
That's not what he's charged with. He's charged with killing
them if their families can't pay the next leg of
the journey. So what they do is they got thirty
forty fifty of these people and they say, Martinez, your
(28:18):
family hadn't paid us for this leg of the journey.
We don't get our money by Western Union tomorrow, we're
killing you and they do. And so when that happens,
Lopez and Rodriguez get on the phone with the family
back in Guatemala and this guy's Guatemala and go, hey, hey,
(28:38):
these people don't play. Get the money, sell a kidney,
whatever you got to do, send the money to these people,
because they're killing people. That's what's happening here. So did
you not find it? Did you look up Guatemala? Did
you ask, Chad, what are you doing? Why is rubbing
(29:02):
your bald head when.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
You're trying to find something on a computer?
Speaker 6 (29:04):
Help?
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Like a magic eight ball?
Speaker 2 (29:07):
Anyway, So let me ask you this, Of all the
places this bastard could be, why you think he felt
comfortable in Colony Ridge? Or more to the question, why
do you think he owned four different properties in Colony Ridge?
(29:31):
Wonder how many other people in Colony Ridge multiple property owners?
Do you think he's living in all four of those
Let's dig down what do you suspect is happening? You
think there's a chance that at least three out of
those four, because he could only live in one at
(29:53):
a time, is being used to house people. He runs
them into the country illegally, because he's got to have
somewhere to stash them before they send them out, right
or how long is this story? All right, we'll go
(30:15):
to break with it, So give me thirty secons. So
it's very possible that what this coyote. And by the way,
if there's one doing and how many.
Speaker 7 (30:25):
More are.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
So it's very possible.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
We don't know for sure that Colony Ridge has people
buying properties there that they're stashing illegals in.
Speaker 1 (30:39):
So part of their fee.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
When they get them into the United States, if they
don't kill them for a non payment, is to stash
them in a house short term or long term. That
Colony Ridge is a mess. You do not want it
around your neighborhood. You do not want it around you.
And I'm going to bet the people of Woodville are
not going to allow that to have And here was
the story.
Speaker 10 (31:01):
Today, the Department announces the arrests of multiple Guatemalan nationals
for their alleged involvement in a mass casualty human smuggling
event that occurred in Choppas, Mexico, on December ninth, twenty
twenty one. On that day, exactly three years ago today,
a semi trailer truck containing at least one hundred and
sixty migrants crashed, resulting in the deaths of more than
(31:24):
fifty people and injuring over one hundred others, many of
whom were also Guatemalan nationals. The arrest occurred as part
of an international enforcement operation coordinated by the Department and
Guatemalan authorities at the request of the United States. Guatemalan
law enforcement arrested multiple individuals in Guatemala, and US authorities
(31:47):
arrested another Guatemala national, Jorge Akapedo Ventura, in Cleveland, Texas.
According to the indictment filed in the Southern District of Texas,
from October twenty twenty one to February twenty twenty three,
the defendants allegedly conspired with other smugglers to facilitate the
travel of migrants from Guatemala through Mexico and route to
(32:10):
the United States. The defendants recruited Guatemalan migrants, they collected payment,
and arranged for travel to the United States. In some instances,
the defendants allegedly provided scripts and instructions to the migrants,
telling them what to say if they were apprehended. Some
of those migrants died or suffered serious injuries as a
(32:31):
result of the crash that occurred on December ninth, twenty
twenty one.
Speaker 2 (32:36):
That was the problem of justice. Principal Deputy Assistant Attorney
General Nicole Argin theeryor ar Hain theory and Spencer Lynde
Quiss at The Daily Wire had the story. He's done
a great job staying on this story.
