Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's that time time, time.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Luck and load, So Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Reports are now coming in that some American flags have
been distributed. CNN revealed in a report last night that
polling shows the president is more popular than ever on
the issue of e lee immigration. As a result of
the riots the burnings, there is now more and more
(01:06):
footage the insurrectionists are standing on the bridge of the
overpass as the Texas as the California Department of a
California Highway patrol as they drive along underneath there to
get to the other side. They're dropping bricks, smashing out
(01:26):
the windshields. You could very easily kill someone, and they're
going to kill someone. They're going to kill someone in
What happens in a situation like that is their fellow
officers unload. And I for one, would not have a
problem with that. My friend Jesse Kelly was talking about
SI sent me a clip of it. Of Communists have
(01:49):
long created what is known as the decision dilemma, and
it is the situation where you're damned if you do
and damned if you don't. The officers have the situation
of either some of them dying and for what I mean,
these criminals you would not allow. They wouldn't let gang
bangers do this to them. They wouldn't let anybody else
(02:13):
throw bricks at them as they drive past, spit in
their face. They wouldn't let anybody else do this. But
they're told you will allow this, Whereas if you put
some of these guys under the ground, the media coverage
will be awful, but I think the public will be supportive.
(02:34):
The media is not our friend. So I say, all
these members of the media defending them, and Gavin Newsom,
go walk right in among these people, go walk right
in among them. They will tear you to shreds. So
there's a viral clip of a black fellow. I don't
know who he is, but several people have sent it
(02:54):
chance Senate this morning, and it's just kind of one
of these This is how I think a lot of
Peo people who were driving a delivery route this morning,
or showing up turning wrenches or opening the doors to
their restaurant or doing any number of other jobs. I
think this is where most Americans are right now.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Someone asked me if I support the protests that are
going on in La i Wan one hundred percent do
please keep going burn down your own backyard if you
must know why, because this right here is the greatest
campaign that.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
This I had never had to pay for.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Gentlemen out there Los Angeles doing a full boom tantrum
like y'all just crawled out the Rio Grand screaming debt
to America in a country that gave you the freedom
to do that stuff. You were born at Kaisa Permanente
in Burbank stopping. You ain't now chapel. You're christ from Pasadela.
You ain't cartel born. You were target born with a
Costco membership by age five? Have you fell us out
(03:46):
there protesting? Ain't even Mexican Mexican. You're American with Mexican
heritage and a tattoo of the Virgin Mary you got
on a Vegas bender. Don't get a twisted I respect
the heritage, but flying a foreign flag while.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
Being supremely disrespect on the.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Country that gave you the freedom to do it, that's
not pride.
Speaker 6 (04:03):
You don't even go to the country of Mexico.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Unless it's for sprint break in Cancun with a passport
you got from the US government, and you won't go
live there. Why because you like your door dash. You're
seven Eleven's your air conditioning, your freedom to scream.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
Dumb things, dumb things.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Without a cartel rolling up on you, your very own pass.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
Now, let's be honest.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Ain't nobody screaming death to Mexico while flying an American
flag through Guadalajara. You know why, because that's how you
end up in a back alley starring in Cartail TikTok
season three. Meanwhile, the rest of America is sitting back
watching you blocked freeways during rush hour, destroying businesses, wearing three.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
Hundred dollars air air.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Jordan's screaming about injustice in the city with the most
social programs and diversity hires.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
In the entire country.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Y'all are the political version of throwing a maltip cocktail
out of Prius because you're mad about gas prices.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
So listen, I'm not mad, you're passionate.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
I'm mad you're dumb, and your dumbass behavior is helping
the other side more than a Trump rally in Texas
with free brisket every time, y'all riot luke tearing up
your own neighborhoods, You're.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
Just birthing another red voter.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
So yeah, I support the protest, keep going, keep flying
flags of countries.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
You ain't got the balls to move.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
To once again be supremely disrespectful.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
On the system that literally gives you the right.
Speaker 6 (05:22):
I got nothing. He's talking about defecation.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Done it very interesting, So that chance cleaning that up,
if you will, with words that pass FCC muster. A
very interesting unrelated to all that story, A set of quadruplets,
three girls and a boy, two of the girls being identical,
graduated from Lamar High School, with all of them going
(05:49):
to four different colleges. Ramon doesn't Reese, doesn't Cash Reese
go to Lamar High School? I bet he does. He, Well,
he graduated, he would have graduated with these kids. And
you know he got a soccer scholarship to Shriner College.
And he's white. Yeah, well wait a second, say his
(06:13):
mom's got some Italian in her. So you saw you
saw true romance. And I think Roberts one quarter hon Duran.
I think I think Roberts see how this work. I
think Robert's mother, I think Robert's mother's parents are both
hon Duran. There there's enough brown in there to give
(06:34):
him a college scholarship. I mean that that's where all
the soccer skill comes from. It's not hard work or
anything like that. Houston Chronicle reports after Cameron Kennedy Madison
and Austin Tran, so you assume their Vietnamese walked the
stage at Lamore High School graduates as as Lamar High
School graduates June eighth, they will head to four different
(06:55):
colleges across two states. Their hobbies span from filmmaking and
to basketball and track and field, and they each have
their own distinct personalities and friend groups. But the four
River Oaks area students will forever share one indelible characteristic.
They're quadruplets. At first, their mother, Jordan Ha, was told
she was having twins. That seemed unsurprising enough their father
(07:19):
had a history of multiples. Haw said months later she
was told she'd soon have triplets. Eventually, another heartbeat was detected.
This is like when ice goes in and opens those things.
Just babies just keep mort just coming out. That's coming out.
Oh there's three, No, there's four, there's four, setting up
Ha and her soon to be born quadruplets into an
(07:40):
increasingly rare and high risk birth. At that moment, I
was just like, what am I gonna do? Haw said,
having babies doesn't come with instructions, and having multiple surely
doesn't come with instructions, let alone having four. But then
I kind of figured God wasn't going to give me
anything that I can't handle. The media attention was instantaneous.
(08:01):
Shortly after the quads arrived nine weeks early, in less
than three pounds each, delivered in thirty second intervals. TV
crews tried to interview her at the hospital. She said
for the first six months, she and her then husband
were like zombies. Well, the long and short of it is,
the kids are all healthy, They've all graduated from Lamar
High School, They're all going to do well.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
All's well, that.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
Ends well, you're listening to Altosino.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Sorry, gay people, Democrats loved you, but they've cut into
your month. Some buildings had to be burned and some
cops have to be killed. You understand you'll never be
as important as the illegal aliens, and I'm sure.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
You get that.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
You never really thought that we were putting you above them. Anyway,
This is every year referred to as Pride Month, and
I suppose June an interesting month, is a month of
great pride for many people. But I guess it just
(09:11):
depends on what that pride means to you.
Speaker 7 (09:18):
It's Pride month in our grade country, and here at
the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
We embrace it, we celebrate it, we honor it.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
Pride.
Speaker 7 (09:26):
On June twenty first, seventeen eighty eight, the US Constitution
was officially ratified.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Pride.
Speaker 7 (09:33):
That on June second, eighteen sixty five, the Civil War
officially ended.
Speaker 8 (09:38):
Pride that.
Speaker 7 (09:39):
On June fourth, nineteen nineteen, Congress passed the Nineteenth Amendment
granting women.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
The right to vote.
Speaker 7 (09:47):
And shall we never forget D Day June sixth, nineteen
forty four, the.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Bravest men of all generations.
Speaker 7 (09:55):
Storm the beaches of Normandy and what would be the
largest troop invasion in the military history.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
So celebrate pride and whatever that means to you.
Speaker 7 (10:09):
But always give thanks to those before us who gave everything.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Put a red, white and blue ramon.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
This will be number fourteen in Chad's prep. The punishment
phase begins for the illegal alien convicted of capital murder.
On Friday, we had Constable former Constable Ted heap On.
He was a witness, the star witness in that case.
This illegal alien turd shot and killed Harris County Precinct
(10:47):
five Corporal Charles Galloway during a traffic stop. Prosecutors are
now seeking the death penalty for the El Salvador and
illegal Oscar Rosalis. Is expected to go on for the
next two weeks. Rosales faces the death penalty without the
possibility parole or the death penalty.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Sorry, that was light.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Should have been life in prison without the possibility of
parole or the death penalty. You know the really horrible
part about that. Galloway had spent more than twelve years
with the Harris County Precinct five Constable's Office. He had
most recently been assigned to the Harris County Toll Road
Division and was working knights so that he could train
(11:34):
other deputies. He was a mentor to young officers who
joined the department. He would teach them how to be safe,
how to be efficient. He was loved by the men
and women he served with, said ted heap, and of
course by his family. Killed yet again, yet another by
(11:55):
an illegal alien. KPRC TV with the.
Speaker 9 (11:58):
Story Oscar Rosal faces life in prison without the possibility
of parole or the death penalty, and prosecutors asked the
jury to consider whether Rosales is a continuing threat to
the public. They also spoke about the night Corporal Galloway
was murdered.
Speaker 10 (12:17):
You saw Oscar rosalz exit the driver's side of his vehicle,
armed with an AK forty seven, and without hesitation, pumped
twenty two rounds into the driver's side of Corporal Galloway's
patrol vehicle. Some of you may already be convinced that
someone who is capable of that is always dangerous.
Speaker 9 (12:38):
Now, fifty five year old Rosales set in the courtroom,
rocking back and forth in his chair. He was convicted
of capital murder on Friday, and now the state is
seeking the death penalty. In January of twenty twenty two,
Rosales shot and killed Corporal Galloway during a traffic stop. Afterward,
he fled to Mexico, where he was later captured. Prosecutors
(12:59):
also pointed out to his criminal history, including a nineteen
ninety five aggravated assault charge, for which.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
He pleaded guilty.
Speaker 9 (13:07):
He was sentenced to deferred adjudication probation, but never completed it. Today,
the courtroom was filled with family members and deputies from
Precinct five when.
Speaker 10 (13:17):
Oscar Zalez murdered Corporal Galloway on January twenty third, twenty
twenty two. He took more than a police officer from
our community. He took a brother, he took an uncle,
he took a mentor, he took a friend, and he
took a father.
Speaker 9 (13:36):
And so far throughout the day, we've seen several witnesses
on the stand, including Corporal Galloway's sister, and she spoke
about how they had a very close relationship. She said
he had the nickname Chuck and that he loved education.
He went to Texas Tech and Texas and M University.
We also heard from a gas station clerk who has
(13:58):
known Corporal Gallower since twenty eleven, and he said that
their two children would always spend time with each other
and he would often help people at the gas station.
And he said that his death is a tragic loss,
a huge loss to the community.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Every morning I get an email from David Malsby, the
executive director of the Camp Hope's PTSD Foundation of America.
Today's was this past Saturday. Kat's coffee team had the
opportunity to serve up Liquid Love at the Horsepower and
Bruise event at Sam Houston Race Park an incredible day
celebrating US veterans with classic cars, craft beer, live music,
(14:39):
and community and coffee. They proudly showcased their newly designed
Camp Hope coffee bag, supporting the PTSD Foundation of America
Camp Hope through their Drink the Flag campaign. Every cup
they poured in every conversation they had was a reminder
of why this partnership matters. Thank you to you US vets,
(15:00):
Houston and Penn Entertainment that's who runs uh Sam Houston
Race Park. And thank you to Avi Katz and the
entire team Cats Coffee that does so much for our veterans.
Speaker 6 (15:10):
You can't hope.
Speaker 3 (15:11):

nine one thousand seven one three nine nine one thousand
three to the phone line we go. I received an
email from Gay Dave. When we played It's raining men.
(15:32):

Ramon said, I guess that's like the bat signal for
Gay Dave.

a I have a vegetable farm.
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Okay, tell me everything that you.
Speaker 12 (16:17):
I'm a farmer at a farmer's market.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
It's weird. Yeah, no, I think it's cool. I brought
everything you brought.
Speaker 12 (16:24):
I brought carrots, I brought tomatoes. I brought two kinds
of cucumbers.
Speaker 13 (16:30):
I brought the big kind of cucumbers even and that.
Speaker 12 (16:37):
I've brought some herbs.
Speaker 13 (16:40):
I brought pumpkins that decided to grow out of my
compost pile and the ripe. So I was like, well
the pumpkins.
Speaker 12 (16:48):
I only sold one of them. It's not really pumpkin season.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
How many did your brain? I brought about.
Speaker 12 (16:55):
Five or six of them.
Speaker 13 (16:56):
I think I gave one to a little girl at
the stand next to me. She was cute, she was friendly.
She gave me a sticker. So, and I brought kinds
of peppers. Toronto's jalapenos, a bell peppers, and pepanos.
Speaker 12 (17:11):
Yeah, the sun.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Did you have people? Did you have a setup already,
a little canopy and all that, or did you have
to go buy that?
Speaker 4 (17:21):
No?
Speaker 12 (17:21):
I had it.
Speaker 13 (17:22):
I started doing this last year, and then the deer
came in and decimated me.
Speaker 12 (17:27):
So I had a deer fence. We put up a
deer fence.
Speaker 13 (17:29):
Me and Jason put up the deer fence this year
and it's worked. So I don't have deer problems with
just squirrels. Squirrels better watch out. I might take my
pelt gun.
Speaker 12 (17:40):
And knock the my eye. I put up a squirrel
feeder in its help.
Speaker 13 (17:43):
And they're not eating as many tomatoes as they were.
But it's been a struggle.
Speaker 12 (17:47):
Hey, can I do something real quick. It's my buddy,
my buddy Michael from uh, he's from Brooklyn, New York.
They moved down here. I can't get him to wear
cowboy boots.
Speaker 13 (17:55):
But it's his birthday today, So can I say Happy
birthday to Michael?
Speaker 5 (17:59):
The other my Michael? Is he gay or is that not?
Speaker 14 (18:02):
Uh?
Speaker 12 (18:03):
He's not. No, we hang all that straight. Michael's not gay.
Speaker 13 (18:10):
He's he's the biggest boob lover. I know.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
Okay, all right, yes you may, you may Michael a
very happy birthday.
Speaker 13 (18:19):
Okay, happy birthday, Michael. His wife Deirdre is a huge
fan of the show. She's listening right now.
Speaker 12 (18:24):
I'm sure.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Oh that's nice. So so okay, Dave, let me ask
you a question. How much did you make? What were
the It sounds like you're doing because you just want
to do it and be fun. But while were the
total sales? Performers more?
Speaker 13 (18:37):
We did about two hundred and fifty bucks, which is decent.
Speaker 12 (18:41):
They said it was a slow day there, so I
could do a little bit more.
Speaker 6 (18:46):
Yeah, how much of that, that's for sure?
Speaker 3 (18:49):
How much of that two fifty spend buy stuff at
other people's booths?
Speaker 13 (18:57):
I literally spent forty dollars on Somosa's. Let the guy
next to me and it was like two little two
bags of something. I mean, his stuff is really excessive.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
It's good.
Speaker 12 (19:06):
Which which farmer's market, Ango Chutney.
Speaker 13 (19:10):
This is Lake Houston Farmers Market in Walden and in
tats Casita. And then I'm gonna be doing every other
they have one every other Sunday, and then I'll be
doing the one that they have on.
Speaker 12 (19:21):
It's in front of Bell Furniture on fifty nine.
Speaker 13 (19:24):
In Humble, and they do one every Saturday there, but
I'll be doing it every other Saturday on the weekends.
Speaker 12 (19:30):
I'm not doing a Walden one there.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
So you talk about that Indian guy, I wonder if
it's the same family. I mean, obviously there are a
lot of Indians out there.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
But so they do a lot of them.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Oh, I have a friend named Jimmy Pappus and he's
the mayor of bunker Hedwige bunker Headwig Point Valley. I
think it is over in the villages and he got
it into his head he's going to do a farmer's
market years ago. So he asked my wife and I
had to come out and see it. So one Saturday
we come out and see it, and she goes up
(20:01):
and talks to this older Indian guy and she bought
a couple of things that he had and he pulls
out the old bank bag. Do you remember the old
bank bag? And he bet ten inches long and about
five inches wide, and it would have a zipper or
the length of it you would put your cash in up. Yeah,
so he would, So he unzips that to make change,
and there had to be I don't know, five thousand
(20:22):
dollars if not more in there, and he's got him
banded by one hundreds and fifties and that, and so
we start chatting him up and he tells her or
she starts chatting up. I'm standing at the next booth,
and he tells her that they do something like I
can't remember the number, I'm gonna make it up, thirty farmers'
(20:44):
markets across their family. They have a commissary kitchen somewhere
in the Indian section of about vos and fifty nine,
and so they cook everything there and then every member
of the family has is allocated a farmer's market that
they go to and bring the money back. She said,
do you realize this is a multimillion dollar operation. By
(21:06):
the time you get through with there's money in those
farmers markets. I'm not saying you're going to make it,
as you know, the lone farmer, but there are people
that do pretty well out of those things.
Speaker 13 (21:16):
It's surprising how many people go to a farmer's market
not for farm fresh food and the other one I
was in last year.
Speaker 12 (21:22):
That's why I left. No one wanted fresh purduce.
Speaker 13 (21:25):
They all wanted the lemonade guy or the free drag
candy guy.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Yes, that's exactly yeah, and and and and you got
to have a little folk singer in the middle. You
gotta have you know something, you gotta have masts.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
They had that.
Speaker 12 (21:40):
Yeah, have you got urban harvest farmer's market? No, that
would when I get get that's where I want to go.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Well, there you have it. You know when when my
mom would say what she and my dad had done
at any given time may be something, and then she
would after I'd say, you know what y'all do, and
it'd be a Saturday or what and she'd tell me,
and then she would kind of be embarrassed, like it
wasn't really that interesting a thing, and she'd say, it's
something to do. And I came to learn that for
(22:08):
most people, they want something to do, especially if they
don't have money that they can spend, you know, to
go to a sporting event or a concert. You're looking
for things to do. For a lot of people, stopping
at BUCkies is something to do. Well. Farmers markets are
a perfect something to do, especially for young couples. They
got they got a kid and a stroller, you know,
(22:28):
they're pushing around and you know they've done the parks,
they've done all that. It's a thing to stroll around,
maybe get a little ice cream, you know. Some they
pretend to be interested in. Some guys you know, goat
milk ice cream or you know special pecans that they grow,
and it's something to do. It's harmless, not wrong with it.
Are you gonna go back?
Speaker 13 (22:48):
Yeah, yeah, I'll be. I'll probably be doing it every
week now.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Just something to do.
Speaker 12 (22:54):
I mean, yeah, it's it's it's interesting, it's it's fun.
Speaker 13 (22:59):
It's a little disheartening sometimes when you got a guy that'll,
you know, buy an eight dollars lemonade, but he'll he'll
look at, you know, my carrots and be like, I
don't know if I could buy three of them, you know.
Speaker 12 (23:13):
You know I have five for three bucks in there.
Speaker 13 (23:15):
They're like, oh that that seems expensive for fresh crown carrots,
And like you.
Speaker 12 (23:19):
Just bought an eight dollars lemonade. It's be gone in
two seconds.
Speaker 14 (23:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (23:23):

and I gotta plana very benefit.
Speaker 3 (25:39):
To the phone lines. We go, Tommy, You're on the
Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, Sir.
Speaker 5 (25:46):
Michael Uh.
Speaker 11 (25:48):
I got an unusual letter from the r n C
last week in the mails.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Okay it uh one.
Speaker 11 (25:57):
Of course at waned a donation, but it was unusual
because if I donated forty seven dollars through the campaign,
they would send me a black hat that said make
America great Again. I thought that was unusual because I
(26:19):
got something. I'm going to get something in return from
my donation to the RNC for the first time ever.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Yeah. Well, I'll tell you what you get in return
is your name on a list and you never get
off of it. I gotta tell you, it really is
a wonder that anybody ever gives to Republican candidates again,
because they are so abusive about the text messages. If
(26:46):
you ever give out yourself, I am so adamant. I'm
going to change my number at the end of this year.
But I have to do this ever so often because
people give out your cell phone number. So then someone
else texting go hey I need x Y, you really
need to talk to you, And I make them tell
me who gave this, who gave them myself a number
and the person has told him, don't tell him, and
(27:07):
then when they do, I just unload on him because
you don't give out people's cell phone numbers. It is
a private personal thing. And the Republican operatives, fundraisers, all
of them, they sell that data. They they share that
data across campaigns. It's abusive. I mean, it is downright abusive.
(27:28):
Taxi Steve and Albany, you're on the Michael Berry Show,
Go ahead, Taxi Steve, Taxi Steve rom On. I'm clicking
those on. But yeah, I don't know what he might
he might have died or something. It could it could happen,
(27:48):
all right, do I have time to Yes, I do.
I've been wanting to do this story for a while.
Three years ago we spoke to Houston firefighter Tyler Graff.
He had learned that, as an adult, he was sot
at birth from his biological mother in Chile as part
of a trafficking ring run by the Catholic Church and
the Pinochet government. Just last week, authorities in Chile announced
(28:11):
the plan to prosecute five people in connection with the
stolen baby ring. Here was the story that we went
off of clip number eleven back in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Who was Tyler Graff before all this began?
Speaker 16 (28:24):
This an ordinary thirty eight year old American man. I
have a wife and kid. I worked for the City
Houston Fire Department. I was adopted by a very loving
and caring family. My thing is just knowing that my
story did start before I was adopted, So it's kind
of like.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Missing the first five minutes of the movie.
Speaker 17 (28:47):
After becoming a father, Tyler began trying to learn about
his birth family. Suddenly a call he never expected. That
must have been the shock of your life.
Speaker 16 (28:56):
Yes, that's when they sat me down and told me
who I was. Howlen know who I am and what
the true backstory really is.
Speaker 17 (29:05):
Tyler had been stolen from his birth mother. She was
told he died shortly after childbirth. The practice of coercive
adoptions became widespread under Dictator Augusto Pinochet's reign in Chile
during the seventies and eighties. Thousands of babies taken trafficked
around the world through a complex network that included hospitals,
the Catholic Church, and the Chilean government.
Speaker 14 (29:27):
Duchess doctors, Midewhite's social.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Assistance they were all involved.
Speaker 17 (29:32):
The American families, like Tyler's, say they had no idea
that the baby they'd adopted had been stolen. When Tyler's
birth mother, Hilda Casada Goodoy, realized that the baby boy
she last laid eyes on in nineteen eighty three was
actually alive, she couldn't believe it.
Speaker 18 (29:49):
Kasa, it is sad, siri e comia vienne sipasawa frio.
Speaker 17 (30:00):
Now Tyler is heading to his birthplace, Chile for the
first time. In Chile, he Tyler meeting the sisters he
never knew he had their family home for the first time.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
If anyone's going to catch anything, it's my mom. They
say that the show I'll Fish anybody.
Speaker 17 (30:27):
Transporting, if only for a moment, to a life that
could have been to be a good mother.
Speaker 16 (30:35):
Doesn't take a fancy house, doesn't take money. It's pretty simple.
It's open arms and a huge heart filled with nothing
but support and love.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
And now ABC seven out of Chicago reports that Chile
will prosecute those individuals who stole those babies back in
the seventies and eighties.
Speaker 15 (30:58):
It's the story of tens of children in Chile who
were torn apart from their families in the seventies and
eighties during the dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet. And now,
for the first time, a Chilean judge is prosecuting five
people who allegedly were involved in the theft of babies
in Chile in the seventies and eighties. As part of
(31:18):
the investigation, the judge has determined that lawyers, priests of
the Catholic Church, members of social organizations, health officials, and
a judge were part of a ring that focused on
abducting or stealing infants from monetary gain, with the purpose
of taking them out of the country to different destinations
in Europe and the US and charging as.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Much as fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 15 (31:42):
Over the last decade, CNN has documented cases of people
stolen as babies in Chile who have reunited with their
biological mothers decades later after taking a DNA test to
prove their relationship.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Scott Lieberman, an American born in Chile, is one of them.
Speaker 19 (31:58):
I didn't know what happened forty two years of my
life without knowing that I was stolen, knowing what was
happening down in Chile during.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
The seventies and eighties, and I just want people to know.
Speaker 19 (32:12):
People need to know there are families out there that
they can still be reunited.
It's that time time, time.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Luck and load, So Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Reports are now coming in that some American flags have
been distributed. CNN revealed in a report last night that
polling shows the president is more popular than ever on
the issue of e lee immigration. As a result of
the riots the burnings, there is now more and more
(01:06):
footage the insurrectionists are standing on the bridge of the
overpass as the Texas as the California Department of a
California Highway patrol as they drive along underneath there to
get to the other side. They're dropping bricks, smashing out
(01:26):
the windshields. You could very easily kill someone, and they're
going to kill someone. They're going to kill someone in
What happens in a situation like that is their fellow
officers unload. And I for one, would not have a
problem with that. My friend Jesse Kelly was talking about
SI sent me a clip of it. Of Communists have
(01:49):
long created what is known as the decision dilemma, and
it is the situation where you're damned if you do
and damned if you don't. The officers have the situation
of either some of them dying and for what I mean,
these criminals you would not allow. They wouldn't let gang
bangers do this to them. They wouldn't let anybody else
(02:13):
throw bricks at them as they drive past, spit in
their face. They wouldn't let anybody else do this. But
they're told you will allow this, Whereas if you put
some of these guys under the ground, the media coverage
will be awful, but I think the public will be supportive.
(02:34):
The media is not our friend. So I say, all
these members of the media defending them, and Gavin Newsom,
go walk right in among these people, go walk right
in among them. They will tear you to shreds. So
there's a viral clip of a black fellow. I don't
know who he is, but several people have sent it
(02:54):
chance Senate this morning, and it's just kind of one
of these This is how I think a lot of
Peo people who were driving a delivery route this morning,
or showing up turning wrenches or opening the doors to
their restaurant or doing any number of other jobs. I
think this is where most Americans are right now.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Someone asked me if I support the protests that are
going on in La i Wan one hundred percent do
please keep going burn down your own backyard if you
must know why, because this right here is the greatest
campaign that.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
This I had never had to pay for.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Gentlemen out there Los Angeles doing a full boom tantrum
like y'all just crawled out the Rio Grand screaming debt
to America in a country that gave you the freedom
to do that stuff. You were born at Kaisa Permanente
in Burbank stopping. You ain't now chapel. You're christ from Pasadela.
You ain't cartel born. You were target born with a
Costco membership by age five? Have you fell us out
(03:46):
there protesting? Ain't even Mexican Mexican. You're American with Mexican
heritage and a tattoo of the Virgin Mary you got
on a Vegas bender. Don't get a twisted I respect
the heritage, but flying a foreign flag while.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
Being supremely disrespect on the.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Country that gave you the freedom to do it, that's
not pride.
Speaker 6 (04:03):
You don't even go to the country of Mexico.
Speaker 4 (04:06):
Unless it's for sprint break in Cancun with a passport
you got from the US government, and you won't go
live there. Why because you like your door dash. You're
seven Eleven's your air conditioning, your freedom to scream.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
Dumb things, dumb things.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
Without a cartel rolling up on you, your very own pass.
Speaker 5 (04:23):
Now, let's be honest.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
Ain't nobody screaming death to Mexico while flying an American
flag through Guadalajara. You know why, because that's how you
end up in a back alley starring in Cartail TikTok
season three. Meanwhile, the rest of America is sitting back
watching you blocked freeways during rush hour, destroying businesses, wearing three.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
Hundred dollars air air.
Speaker 4 (04:43):
Jordan's screaming about injustice in the city with the most
social programs and diversity hires.
Speaker 5 (04:48):
In the entire country.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
Y'all are the political version of throwing a maltip cocktail
out of Prius because you're mad about gas prices.
Speaker 5 (04:57):
So listen, I'm not mad, you're passionate.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
I'm mad you're dumb, and your dumbass behavior is helping
the other side more than a Trump rally in Texas
with free brisket every time, y'all riot luke tearing up
your own neighborhoods, You're.
Speaker 5 (05:09):
Just birthing another red voter.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
So yeah, I support the protest, keep going, keep flying
flags of countries.
Speaker 5 (05:14):
You ain't got the balls to move.
Speaker 6 (05:16):
To once again be supremely disrespectful.
Speaker 5 (05:20):
On the system that literally gives you the right.
Speaker 6 (05:22):
I got nothing. He's talking about defecation.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Done it very interesting, So that chance cleaning that up,
if you will, with words that pass FCC muster. A
very interesting unrelated to all that story, A set of quadruplets,
three girls and a boy, two of the girls being identical,
graduated from Lamar High School, with all of them going
(05:49):
to four different colleges. Ramon doesn't Reese, doesn't Cash Reese
go to Lamar High School? I bet he does. He, Well,
he graduated, he would have graduated with these kids. And
you know he got a soccer scholarship to Shriner College.
And he's white. Yeah, well wait a second, say his
(06:13):
mom's got some Italian in her. So you saw you
saw true romance. And I think Roberts one quarter hon Duran.
I think I think Roberts see how this work. I
think Robert's mother, I think Robert's mother's parents are both
hon Duran. There there's enough brown in there to give
(06:34):
him a college scholarship. I mean that that's where all
the soccer skill comes from. It's not hard work or
anything like that. Houston Chronicle reports after Cameron Kennedy Madison
and Austin Tran, so you assume their Vietnamese walked the
stage at Lamore High School graduates as as Lamar High
School graduates June eighth, they will head to four different
(06:55):
colleges across two states. Their hobbies span from filmmaking and
to basketball and track and field, and they each have
their own distinct personalities and friend groups. But the four
River Oaks area students will forever share one indelible characteristic.
They're quadruplets. At first, their mother, Jordan Ha, was told
she was having twins. That seemed unsurprising enough their father
(07:19):
had a history of multiples. Haw said months later she
was told she'd soon have triplets. Eventually, another heartbeat was detected.
This is like when ice goes in and opens those things.
Just babies just keep mort just coming out. That's coming out.
Oh there's three, No, there's four, there's four, setting up
Ha and her soon to be born quadruplets into an
(07:40):
increasingly rare and high risk birth. At that moment, I
was just like, what am I gonna do? Haw said,
having babies doesn't come with instructions, and having multiple surely
doesn't come with instructions, let alone having four. But then
I kind of figured God wasn't going to give me
anything that I can't handle. The media attention was instantaneous.
(08:01):
Shortly after the quads arrived nine weeks early, in less
than three pounds each, delivered in thirty second intervals. TV
crews tried to interview her at the hospital. She said
for the first six months, she and her then husband
were like zombies. Well, the long and short of it is,
the kids are all healthy, They've all graduated from Lamar
High School, They're all going to do well.
Speaker 1 (08:21):
All's well, that.
Speaker 5 (08:22):
Ends well, you're listening to Altosino.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Sorry, gay people, Democrats loved you, but they've cut into
your month. Some buildings had to be burned and some
cops have to be killed. You understand you'll never be
as important as the illegal aliens, and I'm sure.
Speaker 5 (08:47):
You get that.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
You never really thought that we were putting you above them. Anyway,
This is every year referred to as Pride Month, and
I suppose June an interesting month, is a month of
great pride for many people. But I guess it just
(09:11):
depends on what that pride means to you.
Speaker 7 (09:18):
It's Pride month in our grade country, and here at
the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
We embrace it, we celebrate it, we honor it.
Speaker 5 (09:26):
Pride.
Speaker 7 (09:26):
On June twenty first, seventeen eighty eight, the US Constitution
was officially ratified.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Pride.
Speaker 7 (09:33):
That on June second, eighteen sixty five, the Civil War
officially ended.
Speaker 8 (09:38):
Pride that.
Speaker 7 (09:39):
On June fourth, nineteen nineteen, Congress passed the Nineteenth Amendment
granting women.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
The right to vote.
Speaker 7 (09:47):
And shall we never forget D Day June sixth, nineteen
forty four, the.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
Bravest men of all generations.
Speaker 7 (09:55):
Storm the beaches of Normandy and what would be the
largest troop invasion in the military history.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
So celebrate pride and whatever that means to you.
Speaker 7 (10:09):
But always give thanks to those before us who gave everything.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Put a red, white and blue ramon.
Speaker 3 (10:26):
This will be number fourteen in Chad's prep. The punishment
phase begins for the illegal alien convicted of capital murder.
On Friday, we had Constable former Constable Ted heap On.
He was a witness, the star witness in that case.
This illegal alien turd shot and killed Harris County Precinct
(10:47):
five Corporal Charles Galloway during a traffic stop. Prosecutors are
now seeking the death penalty for the El Salvador and
illegal Oscar Rosalis. Is expected to go on for the
next two weeks. Rosales faces the death penalty without the
possibility parole or the death penalty.
Speaker 1 (11:10):
Sorry, that was light.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Should have been life in prison without the possibility of
parole or the death penalty. You know the really horrible
part about that. Galloway had spent more than twelve years
with the Harris County Precinct five Constable's Office. He had
most recently been assigned to the Harris County Toll Road
Division and was working knights so that he could train
(11:34):
other deputies. He was a mentor to young officers who
joined the department. He would teach them how to be safe,
how to be efficient. He was loved by the men
and women he served with, said ted heap, and of
course by his family. Killed yet again, yet another by
(11:55):
an illegal alien. KPRC TV with the.
Speaker 9 (11:58):
Story Oscar Rosal faces life in prison without the possibility
of parole or the death penalty, and prosecutors asked the
jury to consider whether Rosales is a continuing threat to
the public. They also spoke about the night Corporal Galloway
was murdered.
Speaker 10 (12:17):
You saw Oscar rosalz exit the driver's side of his vehicle,
armed with an AK forty seven, and without hesitation, pumped
twenty two rounds into the driver's side of Corporal Galloway's
patrol vehicle. Some of you may already be convinced that
someone who is capable of that is always dangerous.
Speaker 9 (12:38):
Now, fifty five year old Rosales set in the courtroom,
rocking back and forth in his chair. He was convicted
of capital murder on Friday, and now the state is
seeking the death penalty. In January of twenty twenty two,
Rosales shot and killed Corporal Galloway during a traffic stop. Afterward,
he fled to Mexico, where he was later captured. Prosecutors
(12:59):
also pointed out to his criminal history, including a nineteen
ninety five aggravated assault charge, for which.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
He pleaded guilty.
Speaker 9 (13:07):
He was sentenced to deferred adjudication probation, but never completed it. Today,
the courtroom was filled with family members and deputies from
Precinct five when.
Speaker 10 (13:17):
Oscar Zalez murdered Corporal Galloway on January twenty third, twenty
twenty two. He took more than a police officer from
our community. He took a brother, he took an uncle,
he took a mentor, he took a friend, and he
took a father.
Speaker 9 (13:36):
And so far throughout the day, we've seen several witnesses
on the stand, including Corporal Galloway's sister, and she spoke
about how they had a very close relationship. She said
he had the nickname Chuck and that he loved education.
He went to Texas Tech and Texas and M University.
We also heard from a gas station clerk who has
(13:58):
known Corporal Gallower since twenty eleven, and he said that
their two children would always spend time with each other
and he would often help people at the gas station.
And he said that his death is a tragic loss,
a huge loss to the community.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Every morning I get an email from David Malsby, the
executive director of the Camp Hope's PTSD Foundation of America.
Today's was this past Saturday. Kat's coffee team had the
opportunity to serve up Liquid Love at the Horsepower and
Bruise event at Sam Houston Race Park an incredible day
celebrating US veterans with classic cars, craft beer, live music,
(14:39):
and community and coffee. They proudly showcased their newly designed
Camp Hope coffee bag, supporting the PTSD Foundation of America
Camp Hope through their Drink the Flag campaign. Every cup
they poured in every conversation they had was a reminder
of why this partnership matters. Thank you to you US vets,
(15:00):
Houston and Penn Entertainment that's who runs uh Sam Houston
Race Park. And thank you to Avi Katz and the
entire team Cats Coffee that does so much for our veterans.
Speaker 6 (15:10):

Speaker 12 (16:24):
I brought carrots, I brought tomatoes. I brought two kinds
of cucumbers.
Speaker 13 (16:30):

Speaker 12 (16:37):
I've brought some herbs.
Speaker 13 (16:40):
I brought pumpkins that decided to grow out of my
compost pile and the ripe. So I was like, well
the pumpkins.
Speaker 12 (16:48):
I only sold one of them. It's not really pumpkin season.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
How many did your brain? I brought about.
Speaker 12 (16:55):
Five or six of them.
Speaker 13 (16:56):
I think I gave one to a little girl at
the stand next to me. She was cute, she was friendly.
She gave me a sticker. So, and I brought kinds
of peppers. Toronto's jalapenos, a bell peppers, and pepanos.
Speaker 12 (17:11):
Yeah, the sun.
Speaker 3 (17:13):
Did you have people? Did you have a setup already,
a little canopy and all that, or did you have
to go buy that?
Speaker 4 (17:21):
No?
Speaker 12 (17:21):
I had it.
Speaker 13 (17:22):
I started doing this last year, and then the deer
came in and decimated me.
Speaker 12 (17:27):
So I had a deer fence. We put up a
deer fence.
Speaker 13 (17:29):
Me and Jason put up the deer fence this year
and it's worked. So I don't have deer problems with
just squirrels. Squirrels better watch out. I might take my
pelt gun.
Speaker 12 (17:40):
And knock the my eye. I put up a squirrel
feeder in its help.
Speaker 13 (17:43):
And they're not eating as many tomatoes as they were.
But it's been a struggle.
Speaker 12 (17:47):
Hey, can I do something real quick. It's my buddy,
my buddy Michael from uh, he's from Brooklyn, New York.
They moved down here. I can't get him to wear
cowboy boots.
Speaker 13 (17:55):
But it's his birthday today, So can I say Happy
birthday to Michael?
Speaker 5 (17:59):
The other my Michael? Is he gay or is that not?
Speaker 14 (18:02):

Speaker 13 (18:19):
Okay, happy birthday, Michael. His wife Deirdre is a huge
fan of the show. She's listening right now.
Speaker 12 (18:24):
I'm sure.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Oh that's nice. So so okay, Dave, let me ask
you a question. How much did you make? What were
the It sounds like you're doing because you just want
to do it and be fun. But while were the
total sales? Performers more?
Speaker 13 (18:37):
We did about two hundred and fifty bucks, which is decent.
Speaker 12 (18:41):
They said it was a slow day there, so I
could do a little bit more.
Speaker 6 (18:46):
Yeah, how much of that, that's for sure?
Speaker 3 (18:49):
How much of that two fifty spend buy stuff at
other people's booths?
Speaker 13 (18:57):
I literally spent forty dollars on Somosa's. Let the guy
next to me and it was like two little two
bags of something. I mean, his stuff is really excessive.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
It's good.
Speaker 12 (19:06):
Which which farmer's market, Ango Chutney.
Speaker 13 (19:10):
This is Lake Houston Farmers Market in Walden and in
tats Casita. And then I'm gonna be doing every other
they have one every other Sunday, and then I'll be
doing the one that they have on.
Speaker 12 (19:21):
It's in front of Bell Furniture on fifty nine.
Speaker 13 (19:24):
In Humble, and they do one every Saturday there, but
I'll be doing it every other Saturday on the weekends.
Speaker 12 (19:30):
I'm not doing a Walden one there.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
So you talk about that Indian guy, I wonder if
it's the same family. I mean, obviously there are a
lot of Indians out there.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
But so they do a lot of them.
Speaker 3 (19:40):
Oh, I have a friend named Jimmy Pappus and he's
the mayor of bunker Hedwige bunker Headwig Point Valley. I
think it is over in the villages and he got
it into his head he's going to do a farmer's
market years ago. So he asked my wife and I
had to come out and see it. So one Saturday
we come out and see it, and she goes up
(20:01):
and talks to this older Indian guy and she bought
a couple of things that he had and he pulls
out the old bank bag. Do you remember the old
bank bag? And he bet ten inches long and about
five inches wide, and it would have a zipper or
the length of it you would put your cash in up. Yeah,
so he would, So he unzips that to make change,
and there had to be I don't know, five thousand
(20:22):
dollars if not more in there, and he's got him
banded by one hundreds and fifties and that, and so
we start chatting him up and he tells her or
she starts chatting up. I'm standing at the next booth,
and he tells her that they do something like I
can't remember the number, I'm gonna make it up, thirty farmers'
(20:44):
markets across their family. They have a commissary kitchen somewhere
in the Indian section of about vos and fifty nine,
and so they cook everything there and then every member
of the family has is allocated a farmer's market that
they go to and bring the money back. She said,
do you realize this is a multimillion dollar operation. By
(21:06):
the time you get through with there's money in those
farmers markets. I'm not saying you're going to make it,
as you know, the lone farmer, but there are people
that do pretty well out of those things.
Speaker 13 (21:16):
It's surprising how many people go to a farmer's market
not for farm fresh food and the other one I
was in last year.
Speaker 12 (21:22):
That's why I left. No one wanted fresh purduce.
Speaker 13 (21:25):
They all wanted the lemonade guy or the free drag
candy guy.
Speaker 3 (21:29):
Yes, that's exactly yeah, and and and and you got
to have a little folk singer in the middle. You
gotta have you know something, you gotta have masts.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
They had that.
Speaker 12 (21:40):
Yeah, have you got urban harvest farmer's market? No, that
would when I get get that's where I want to go.
Speaker 3 (21:48):
Well, there you have it. You know when when my
mom would say what she and my dad had done
at any given time may be something, and then she
would after I'd say, you know what y'all do, and
it'd be a Saturday or what and she'd tell me,
and then she would kind of be embarrassed, like it
wasn't really that interesting a thing, and she'd say, it's
something to do. And I came to learn that for
(22:08):
most people, they want something to do, especially if they
don't have money that they can spend, you know, to
go to a sporting event or a concert. You're looking
for things to do. For a lot of people, stopping
at BUCkies is something to do. Well. Farmers markets are
a perfect something to do, especially for young couples. They
got they got a kid and a stroller, you know,
(22:28):
they're pushing around and you know they've done the parks,
they've done all that. It's a thing to stroll around,
maybe get a little ice cream, you know. Some they
pretend to be interested in. Some guys you know, goat
milk ice cream or you know special pecans that they grow,
and it's something to do. It's harmless, not wrong with it.
Are you gonna go back?
Speaker 13 (22:48):
Yeah, yeah, I'll be. I'll probably be doing it every
week now.
Speaker 3 (22:53):
Just something to do.
Speaker 12 (22:54):
I mean, yeah, it's it's it's interesting, it's it's fun.
Speaker 13 (22:59):
It's a little disheartening sometimes when you got a guy that'll,
you know, buy an eight dollars lemonade, but he'll he'll
look at, you know, my carrots and be like, I
don't know if I could buy three of them, you know.
Speaker 12 (23:13):
You know I have five for three bucks in there.
Speaker 13 (23:15):
They're like, oh that that seems expensive for fresh crown carrots,
And like you.
Speaker 12 (23:19):
Just bought an eight dollars lemonade. It's be gone in
two seconds.
Speaker 14 (23:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 11 (25:48):
I got an unusual letter from the r n C
last week in the mails.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
Okay it uh one.
Speaker 11 (25:57):
Of course at waned a donation, but it was unusual
because if I donated forty seven dollars through the campaign,
they would send me a black hat that said make
America great Again. I thought that was unusual because I
(26:19):
got something. I'm going to get something in return from
my donation to the RNC for the first time ever.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
Yeah. Well, I'll tell you what you get in return
is your name on a list and you never get
off of it. I gotta tell you, it really is
a wonder that anybody ever gives to Republican candidates again,
because they are so abusive about the text messages. If
(26:46):
you ever give out yourself, I am so adamant. I'm
going to change my number at the end of this year.
But I have to do this ever so often because
people give out your cell phone number. So then someone
else texting go hey I need x Y, you really
need to talk to you, And I make them tell
me who gave this, who gave them myself a number
and the person has told him, don't tell him, and
(27:07):
then when they do, I just unload on him because
you don't give out people's cell phone numbers. It is
a private personal thing. And the Republican operatives, fundraisers, all
of them, they sell that data. They they share that
data across campaigns. It's abusive. I mean, it is downright abusive.
(27:28):
Taxi Steve and Albany, you're on the Michael Berry Show,
Go ahead, Taxi Steve, Taxi Steve rom On. I'm clicking
those on. But yeah, I don't know what he might
he might have died or something. It could it could happen,
(27:48):
all right, do I have time to Yes, I do.
I've been wanting to do this story for a while.
Three years ago we spoke to Houston firefighter Tyler Graff.
He had learned that, as an adult, he was sot
at birth from his biological mother in Chile as part
of a trafficking ring run by the Catholic Church and
the Pinochet government. Just last week, authorities in Chile announced
(28:11):
the plan to prosecute five people in connection with the
stolen baby ring. Here was the story that we went
off of clip number eleven back in twenty twenty two.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Who was Tyler Graff before all this began?
Speaker 16 (28:24):
This an ordinary thirty eight year old American man. I
have a wife and kid. I worked for the City
Houston Fire Department. I was adopted by a very loving
and caring family. My thing is just knowing that my
story did start before I was adopted, So it's kind
of like.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Missing the first five minutes of the movie.
Speaker 17 (28:47):
After becoming a father, Tyler began trying to learn about
his birth family. Suddenly a call he never expected. That
must have been the shock of your life.
Speaker 16 (28:56):
Yes, that's when they sat me down and told me
who I was. Howlen know who I am and what
the true backstory really is.
Speaker 17 (29:05):
Tyler had been stolen from his birth mother. She was
told he died shortly after childbirth. The practice of coercive
adoptions became widespread under Dictator Augusto Pinochet's reign in Chile
during the seventies and eighties. Thousands of babies taken trafficked
around the world through a complex network that included hospitals,
the Catholic Church, and the Chilean government.
Speaker 14 (29:27):
Duchess doctors, Midewhite's social.
Speaker 1 (29:30):
Assistance they were all involved.
Speaker 17 (29:32):
The American families, like Tyler's, say they had no idea
that the baby they'd adopted had been stolen. When Tyler's
birth mother, Hilda Casada Goodoy, realized that the baby boy
she last laid eyes on in nineteen eighty three was
actually alive, she couldn't believe it.
Speaker 18 (29:49):
Kasa, it is sad, siri e comia vienne sipasawa frio.
Speaker 17 (30:00):
Now Tyler is heading to his birthplace, Chile for the
first time. In Chile, he Tyler meeting the sisters he
never knew he had their family home for the first time.
Speaker 3 (30:20):
If anyone's going to catch anything, it's my mom. They
say that the show I'll Fish anybody.
Speaker 17 (30:27):
Transporting, if only for a moment, to a life that
could have been to be a good mother.
Speaker 16 (30:35):
Doesn't take a fancy house, doesn't take money. It's pretty simple.
It's open arms and a huge heart filled with nothing
but support and love.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
And now ABC seven out of Chicago reports that Chile
will prosecute those individuals who stole those babies back in
the seventies and eighties.
Speaker 15 (30:58):
It's the story of tens of children in Chile who
were torn apart from their families in the seventies and
eighties during the dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet. And now,
for the first time, a Chilean judge is prosecuting five
people who allegedly were involved in the theft of babies
in Chile in the seventies and eighties. As part of
(31:18):
the investigation, the judge has determined that lawyers, priests of
the Catholic Church, members of social organizations, health officials, and
a judge were part of a ring that focused on
abducting or stealing infants from monetary gain, with the purpose
of taking them out of the country to different destinations
in Europe and the US and charging as.
Speaker 1 (31:37):
Much as fifty thousand dollars.
Speaker 15 (31:42):
Over the last decade, CNN has documented cases of people
stolen as babies in Chile who have reunited with their
biological mothers decades later after taking a DNA test to
prove their relationship.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Scott Lieberman, an American born in Chile, is one of them.
Speaker 19 (31:58):
I didn't know what happened forty two years of my
life without knowing that I was stolen, knowing what was
happening down in Chile during.
Speaker 3 (32:09):
The seventies and eighties, and I just want people to know.
Speaker 19 (32:12):
People need to know there are families out there that
they can still be reunited.
