Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
So Michael Verie Show is on the air. We will
open the phone line seven one three nine nine nine
one thousand. Should you have an opinion you'd like to share?
(00:32):
Seven one three nine nine nine one thousand. I was
hoping somebody would step up for me and say, on
the Dairy Queen auction, I think it's local Auctions dot Com.
I was hoping that someone would say, I'll figure out
(00:52):
which pieces, and you tell me your budget and I'll
get it and bring it to you. But it hasn't
happened yet, so maybe I was insufficiently direct. I was
too subtle. What I'm looking for so that you know,
for the studio is the old Dairy Queen. Anything that
(01:16):
says DQ, just keep moving past that. I don't want
anything with a DQ. I don't want the new color pattern,
the new kind of orangeishy yellow, and then the limestone
that looks like a model home in every suburban home
in America when you walk into the ference, all the
same stone. I don't want that. I'm looking for the
(01:38):
old Dairy Queen red logo with that, you know, the red.
I don't know what that size of that thing is,
but you know what I'm talking about. I'd rather it
be kind of a one foot by one foot or less.
It could be a little more, but I don't want
to overwhelm the room. And it has to spell out
the dairy queen in the old, very simple way. If
(02:00):
you walk into a dairy queen where this auction is
going on and the ceiling is higher than seven feet
six inches tall, you're in the new one. It can't
be that. It has to be the old melamine style,
bolted down benches, you know, the drill, and I just
want something that would have hung on the wall. I'd
love one of those signs that was out front that
(02:21):
they would put up, you know, that would be you know,
your beacon that would tell you. But I think that
would be too big for our space, because those things
are bigger than you realize. Scottie writes, I couldn't email
you yesterday, but the dairy Queen on FM nineteen sixty
that you mentioned is near Jones Road. That DQ was
built around seventy two. It was the first thing built
(02:42):
out there when nineteen sixty and Jones Road were two
lane roads and the intersection was a stop sign. There
was a period when it was not taken care of,
but whoever owns it now keeps it clean and it's
still the old style counter. My parents moved out there
in seventy two and we still live out here. My
wife and I actually went there last weekend. There are
a few other DQ's in the area as well. There's
(03:03):
one at Fairbanks, North Houston and West Little York and
one on two forty nine and Perry. I had to
travel to Marshall yesterday. I go every two weeks, and
the one in die Ball and Carthage are closed. I
swear that the one in die Ball was open two
weeks ago. Yeah, that's one of the ones they're closing.
When I went to Marshall, I listened to the morning
When I go to Marshall, I listened to the morning
(03:25):
show going and listening to the evening show when I'm
coming home. Thanks for the show. Well, thank you, Scotty.
I would I would. Yeah, So anyway, I would love
to find one of those things. So Sylvester Turner is
in Congress, Okay, why wouldn't he be after eight years
as mayor and Sheila Jackson Lee dying? Who better to
(03:47):
replace Sheila Jackson Lee than Sylvester Turner. Clip number twenty six,
Mister Roubles asks the question how much money did Sylvester
Turner waste on everything but city services? The head of
the Houston Water Department says that the East Water purification
plant is more than seventy years old, and the Houston
(04:10):
Water Director, Greg Ireley says that the treatment plant supplying
up to seventy five percent of the city's water is failing.
And you'll never guess this. He needs more money. Do
you do you know how many billion dollars are spent
on our water department And he's saying that seventy five
(04:31):
percent of the city's water supply is failing and they're
not replacing it. This is how you steal money without
anybody knowing. You see, you steal the money from departments
that people can't see. You can't take cops off the
street because people will notice that, so you go into
the big departments. There was a guy named Kwame Kilpatrick
(04:51):
whose mom was a congressman and Kwame was the mayor.
I knew him pretty well, decently well, and he was
this young mayor's electing his early thirties, very curious former ballplayer,
big boy big boy.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
And.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
He got in there and his dad. He ended up
making his dad a lobbyist, and his dad was basically
the bagman. And they ended up with and you won't
believe this, but a ten billion dollar water treatment deal.
And instead of it being like a seven year deal,
which was normal, I think they did a twenty year deal.
(05:26):
Well out of ten billion dollars, you can find some
ways to slough off a few million here and a
few million there. His dad was the bagman millions and
millions and millions of dollars. And the funny thing about
the whole thing, he would have never been caught even
though everybody knew he did it, except his wife got
mad over the fact that he was having an affair
with his chief of staff, and their phone records were
(05:46):
confiscated and that's when it all went wrong. But here
in Houston, by the way, which is where Kwame came
when he was on when he was on probation. Here
in Houston, Sylvester Turner ran the city in the ground
and was promoted to be a congressman.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
ABC thirteen official say, infrastructure here at this more than
seventy year old plan is quite literally crumbling. They've actually
had to take this basin offline because look at it.
You can see the floor. It has cracks in it.
Now that barrier wall that's also failing. The water that's
pouring out, those leaks aren't supposed to be happening. In fact,
(06:22):
we were told not even to hold onto these railings
because those are failing as well.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Though this water is gonna make it all the way
to Katie.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Walking us through a facility, he sets maybe on the
brink of.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Disaster, you'll see a crack in the sidewalls of Houston.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Water Director Greg Eireley says the city's East water treatment
plant has a list of needed critical repairs too long
to share.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
The list is the entire plant.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Ireley says the plant is in such bad shape his
team is determined it makes more sense to scrap it
and build a new one.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
A lot of people say, well, why just rehab the
plant you have parts of this plant are really beyond
that point.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
And if you live in the Houston area, chances are
your drinking water comes from this failing facility. It services
up to seventy five percent of the region's residents.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
This treatment plant here really feeds the heart of Houston.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
It also pumps lifeblood to the region's industry.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Where we have a catastrophic failure of our system that
impacts oil production, impacts the medical center, impacts the port.
That's an impact that's going to be felt nationwide.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
And right now, officials say they don't have the money
needed to take necessary steps to prevent that.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
We need to do them now.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
In a race against time. City officials hope showing this
site will improve Houston's chances of being approved for no interest,
state or federal loans to begin building a new plant.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Trying to be transparent about what our issues are and
whatever help we can get.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
But even if that helped war improve too, how about
we audit the funds. How about we find out where
the billions have been spent in the last few years.
How about maybe we do that. We got the former
water director who's just plaid guilty and is going to
prison for ten years, and she stole millions and not
giving it back. Maybe we audit the fund Maybe we
(08:25):
do a little local doge.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
What do you think, no matter who's fault it is
the Michael Arry Show, you have a photo that your
photo matters.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Do you know the story behind us it's incredible story.
So David Foster, who was kind of a bubblegum pop
dad and he was Peter seta a lot of pop
music attributed to him. Incredible success, incredible and he was
a hit maker. And he and John Parr had were
(09:03):
under contract for the film, saying almost fire. So they
have to do this epic film. You know this sound
this is the era of the big soundtrack. You know,
I have the song to go with the movie. You
released the song first, and it gets some traction in
the movie. And then when you hear the song in
the movie, you're like, ah, it's that song, and it
evokes all these emotions already. It's a it's a boilerplate
process that worked right. And and so the story goes
(09:28):
that Parr can't come up with with the lyrics. He's trying.
He's got he's got this serious of soaring music, and
he can't come up with anything. So he sees the
story somehow or another. I don't know how it happened
of this uh Canadian by the name of Rick Hanson,
and I can't remember why he was paraplegic. I don't
(09:51):
know if he was in the militaries in a car wreck.
I don't remember, but he had just shattered his body
and he had this special wheelchair and he he's going
to go across Canada, I think, which is a pretty good,
pretty good span. That's a little let's take a minute.
And it's cold. I think it's always cold, and so
(10:15):
he's gonna do I think it was seventy miles a day.
Could be wrong enough, but that number sticks somebody. He's
gonna do seventy miles a day and he's gonna raise
money for spinal cord injuries, sorry, spinal cord research. And
he starts kind of catching some attention when this when
(10:36):
the thing started, because you can't help but look at
the guy and go, man, I don't do seventy miles
a day using my legs perambulating. And so Rick Hanson's
starting to get attention. And the tour was known as
the Man in Motion Tour. And my understanding is I
don't think it was David Foster. I think was John Parr.
I think Parr like he reached out to him. I
(10:57):
saw this on a documentary years ago. But Parr reached out.
We ever tried to contact him, and he was very
impressed with this whole thing, and he decided, well, if
I got to write a song for a movie, and
I there's nothing about sant almost far the movie that's
inspired me to a song, I'm gonna reference the Man
in Motion. And when the song came out, he was
(11:17):
in the middle of the tour, and all of a
sudden boom, everybody wanted to go, you know, where is
Hanson gonna be tomorrow? Well, he'll be in Ottawa at
this play. Oh, all right, let's go. And so the
Man in Motion tour just blows up because of the
song and the movie and all that. And I think
I think the video, if I remember correctly, includes Rick
(11:39):
Hanson in his wheelchair in it, like they flashed to
that constantly. Well fast forward, Hanson's tour becomes so big
that they take it around the world and I can't
remember how many countries they took it to, but that
the whole Man in Motion was not a reference to
anything in the movie. It was a reference to Rick Hanson.
This is very inspiring. Will Chaired, Dude. So I was
(12:02):
student body president of University of Houston. You know this,
and one of the things that we did, or that
was asked of you, was Crippled Awareness Day, and they
would ask you to spend the day in a wheelchair,
and I thought, well, I can do that. Well, I
have negative I have below zero arm strength. I have
(12:25):
the most newtlely arms in the history of mankind. I
can bench press a case of cox. I mean, I'm
not a terribly strong guy, and certainly not upper body. Now,
my hamstring very well developed, but that's a different story.
And so I sign up to do this. Yeah, I'll
agree to do it. And then they follow you. A
reporter with the Daily Cougar, the newspaper follows you. And
(12:48):
this year it got some local press too, like the
Houston Chronicles. Todd Ackerman, who was the Chronicle report, I
think he came. And so I show up at the
offices for the student government and they've got my wheelchair
rat it waitingen. That's gonna be fine. And I sit
down and take a picture of me. Okay, good, and
I'm gonna get some be roll of me rolling along. Well,
here's what nobody tells you. Because you see people wheeling along,
(13:12):
it's one hundred times harder than you think it is.
You you probably think, and I'd rather walk on my
legs in my arms. Your legs are so much stronger
than your arms. You can't quite imagine how different that is.
It makes all the difference in the world. If you
had to walk on your arms instead of your legs,
you wouldn't be able to do it. You just don't
(13:34):
have the strength to do it. The wheelchair, the puff, No,
I didn't get a puff. I had to power this
thing myself. And so then you start noticing things like, oh,
I can't go up those stairs. Well, that means that
all these lawsuits letters has got to be some ramp. Well,
what they don't tell you is you start up the
ramp on that thing, you get a little momentum going hot.
(13:57):
Then your arms, you shouldered. Everything's a king at this point,
and you get about five ten feet up it and
you need to catch your breath for a second. You
got to grab and hold and hold friction. I mean,
you are clinging to dear life, because if you stop
the trip, you go back down. So when you see
somebody going up a hill, going up one of those rams,
(14:17):
just take a moment and admire what you are watching,
because this is incredible. Now fast forward to Rick Hanson,
this bastard seventy miles a day. Now we already know.
Hopefully I've made the point that being in a wheelchair
is one hundred times harder than just walking. How many
people could walk seventy miles a day forget jockey, just
(14:40):
walk seventy miles a day and do that for weeks
and weeks and weeks on end. This dude's doing it
on a wheel chair. Yeah, crazy, crazy, Suzanne. You're on
to Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 5 (14:58):

Speaker 6 (14:59):

That day Marga God bless the uscrilture.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Dot com reports more homes were built in Texas last
year than any other state, and they forecast that Texas
will become the nation's most populous state in twenty forty four.
Texas is two hundred and twenty five thousand, six hundred
and one residential building permits, accounting for fifteen percent of
those in the United States, followed by Florida, California, North Carolina,
(19:41):
and Georgia. Meanwhile, the state's population, the fastest growing in
the nation, is expected to make Texas the most populous
state in the country about twenty forty four. There were
thirty one point three million residents in Texas in July,
up from thirty point five million a year earlier in
twenty nine million in twenty twenty. It's an almost eight
(20:01):
percent increase in just four years. For the ten years
ended in twenty twenty four, Texas added three point nine
million residents, compared to two point nine million in Florida.
Among the top reasons for the state's booming population are
Texas climate, job Texas climate, what job opportunities, and relatively
affordable housing. The realtor dot Com report, which relied on
(20:23):
its own housing data and US Census Bureau data from
nine to twenty three, also found that more than one
in four people shopping for homes in Texas are from
out of state. More than one in four out of
staters come in here. More Californians moved to Texas than
residents of any other state, seven hundred and eighty one
thousand of them. Now, I know what your response is
going to be, Michael, keep them out. They're going to
(20:44):
try to California, myp Texas. I'm going to tell you
the data that I've seen. I agree. Intuitively, we think
Californias are a bunch of nuts. We don't want them here,
fruits and nuts. We don't need them here. But the
data will show you that where they're moving in, they're
moving in as Republicans. Remember, they're fleeing California. And before
(21:05):
you tell me, I California is they're all the same.
You live in Harris County. Do you want me to
say we don't want people from Harris County moving out
to Montgomery County or Fort Bend or Tyler County or
Walker County because of Lena Hidalgo. Are you a Lena
Hidogo person? No, people are leaving California. More Texans moved
to California than any other state, three hundred and six
(21:25):
thousand of them. Good. We'll send them our fruits and nuts.
They can send us their conservative folks. I like it. Suzanne,
you were going to talk about Texas, A and M.
I believe. I'm not sure what to do about Suzanne
Dan and what are you doing? Are you on a
cricket phone?
Speaker 6 (21:48):
I didn't get a lot of reverberations.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Oh I hate that. Let me just take you about
five minutes and tell how much I hate that.
Speaker 6 (21:54):
All right, go ahead, Okay, So I called the last
party in your show. Last segment, you were talking about
football and all that. You were talking about A and M.
But I just have a suggestion on you know, we'd
all like to see or those of us who like
A and M would like to see them win more games.
(22:16):
I think they need to break your tradition. If they
want to start winning more games, they need to bring
in cheerleaders and the dance team. They need to let
it go and bring them in, bring some fun into
the stadium, and they probably start winning more games.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Hello minute. You know, in terms of fan experience, I
would argue that Texas A and M would probably undoubtedly
be listed as the greatest fan experience in all of
college football. Absolutely, are you saying you don't want to
you don't want a bunch of dudes dressed as first
(22:54):
year Navy sailors as the cheerleaders. Is that what you're saying.
Speaker 6 (23:00):
That's exactly what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Well, I mean, listen, I'd like to see Hey, yeah.
Speaker 6 (23:07):
I mean change it up a little.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
You know, it couldn't hurt. I mean, yeah, I really
don't know why. I mean, you look, there's a military tradition,
as you know, and I think that probably has something
to do with it. But I wouldn't really mind breaking
ranks and putting some pretty girls down there. I agree,
Oh I wish I could be again. I mean, there's
tradition and everything else, and I'm all for a tradition,
(23:30):
bring back bonfire, stop letting the DEI professors come in
and talk about boys chopping off their wieners, which unfortunately
A and M has allowed to happen. I mean all
of those things, But I don't know that there is
a more tradition rich four year public university in the country. Frankly.
I mean they even in terms of maintaining traditions, I
(23:51):
think they even exceed University of Texas, and that's hard to.
Speaker 6 (23:56):
Do absolutely lately.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
But are you a graduations.
Speaker 5 (24:03):
Now?
Speaker 7 (24:04):
I'm not.
Speaker 6 (24:04):
I have a son and some other people in my
family that I went to TACU. But it's just I mean,
how many games have you watched and you just want
them to win? So let's do something just a little different.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Well, I'm not sure that's the reason.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Very show You'll maybe love You.
Speaker 8 (24:46):
Golden Days before they.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Christs Secrets to the.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
US.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Collins has voted against cloture in the Cash Battel nomination. Cloture,
of course, would end the filibuster and force a vote.
I think we will have a vote this afternoon, and
I think Cash will pass. The question is is it
fifty one fifty with JD. Vance casting the deciding vote?
(25:21):
Is it fifty one forty nine? I think Mitch McConnell
will vote against him. I think Collins and perhaps even
Murkowski could vote, could both cast a vote against him.
They're in an interesting situation. I believe that some of
them are so compromised and are aware that there is
(25:45):
knowledge of what they've done, that their only shot is
to keep him from being the FBI director. And look,
Adam Shiff stood in front of the FBI headquarters and said,
this guy's a political hack. He basically described the last
four years of the Biden This guy's a hack. This
is not law enforcement, that's his political hackeryad And remember
(26:05):
Adam Shiff accepted accepted a pardon from Joe Biden for
what what are you being pardoned for? So he just
got his fiftieth vote, which means that with JD's we
need fifty one. Though, Hey, did you know that Bessen's Tomo? Yeah,
(26:28):
so yesterday I see something that says Bessen was asked
about being Homo and serving for Trump, and he said
Trump doesn't have problem. Homos, what's your problem? But what's
your issue? Why are you asking a stupid question? And
I thought, well, that's good. They didn't, you know, throw
a big rainbow flag out there and like, hey, we
got one over here. Look at this. We got blacks
(26:50):
and women and samoans with a white streak and uh
and homo's They just kind of like, the dude's good
and so far he's done a darn good job, and
he happens to be homo. I thought, well, that's how
it's supposed to be. That shouldn't be the most interesting
thing about you, right at least not while we're talking
(27:10):
about you being a Treasury secretary. Maybe you know, nine
o'clock at night you turn the lights off for the
person on the other side. Maybe that's the most interesting
thing about you. But for the rest of us, we
shouldn't need to know. It shouldn't matter. And that's the thing.
That's the thing people don't realize. Most homos would rather
(27:30):
that little fringe element out there that's going here, we're here,
we're here, get eating that first wanted tolerance, and now
they just want you to bow before him and say
I love you for being home. I love you for it. Well,
most people don't want that. Most homos almost all want
to live the same life as everybody else. And in fact,
(27:52):
the ones I've known, well, folks I've worked with, they
want the Norman Rockwell life. They want the you know,
they want the yard of the month. They want the
perfectly taking care of house. They want you know, the
flag out front and love your neighbors and yes you
(28:13):
can come get some flour and sugar if you need it.
I mean, that's what they want. And then you got
these fringe elements out there ruining it for them, making
people think that there's some craze. And let me tell
you something, Blacks same way. Most black people just want
to be human beings. They don't want to have to
be you know, your token black friend or you're token
(28:33):
black employee, or you're token black member of this or that.
They just kind of want to live like everybody else,
and you know, hunt and fish and restore old cars
and everything else. He got his fifty first so kloture.
That means we're going to the vote. That means we'll
have Cash as a director of the FBI by this afternoon.
That means by tonight we'll have shift in prison. It's
(28:54):
going to be good. This is going to be a
very good thing. Indeed, all right, Darcy, you're up what
you got sweetheart?
Speaker 7 (29:01):
All right, Michael, there's only three reasons a woman who
would argue for getting for changing the yell leaders. Okay,
she's either a wag she didn't attend.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
A and m she didn't she said.
Speaker 7 (29:16):
That, or okay, then she's got no respect for the traditions.
She should not be commenting on our traditions trying to
help understand them. No, you want, I Candy, you go
and you watch the Diamond Darlings at a baseball game.
They're super Cuteall well, you ain't gonna get it because
(29:36):
it's for the ladies.
Speaker 2 (29:37):
I don't want. I don't want to see Rick Perry
or Cory Morrow parading down.
Speaker 7 (29:46):
I know, I know they were. And you know, my
my husband, I'm class in ninety one. So as my husband,
he was in YouTube corcadet. One of his buddies was
a young leader. And I'm just telling you, don't mess
with the traditions.
Speaker 2 (30:01):
If you don't know, it was his buddy that was
a yell leader.
Speaker 7 (30:05):
His name was Brandt. I m ce is he still.
Speaker 9 (30:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (30:11):
My husband doesn't have too many friends from college, He says,
I got married. I married my best friend, and I don't.
Speaker 2 (30:17):
Need all those He doesn't go to bed, bathroom beyond
and compare thread counts with you. Does he no tank
your testosterone?
Speaker 7 (30:26):
No?
Speaker 2 (30:26):
What does he do for a no?
Speaker 7 (30:28):
No? No. He is a registered structural engineer in the
state of Texas and he works for an oil major
and finds change orders that totally mess with our family
budget every month.
Speaker 2 (30:41):
I'm glad you said that, because I didn't want to.
If he's just a structural engineer but not registered, then
I wouldn't. But as long as I know he's registered,
then I okay, All right.
Speaker 7 (30:50):
Do you work and I have to brag? Well, I
used to, but now I manage our real estate portfolio.
Speaker 2 (30:58):
What did you do.
Speaker 7 (31:01):
Well? I had a nonprofit experience. I was a marketing
executive and uh I was also a college professor. We've
spent twelve years overseas, and every time we went overseas,
I took my MBA and taught at the university level
in the Middle East. It's quite an experience.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Where were you all in the Middle East?
Speaker 7 (31:22):
Oh gosh, we've spent to Abu Dhabi, We've been to Dubai,
We've spent we were in so hot during COVID, which
I left, and then we spent My favorite assignment was
we spent two years in South Korea.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
Oh well, do you spend any time in Muscutnomon?
Speaker 7 (31:42):
What we traveled to Muscatnomon? And those are are some
of our Those were our escapes from the unrealistic life
in Dubai, Dubaia's my.
Speaker 2 (31:54):
Brother in law who's Indian, is KASHMIRI it looks like
a movie star. Kashmiris your kind of famous for you know,
having these striking good looks and uh. And he was
the head of Adi Das Adidas in the Middle East,
which is a huge brand in that area, German German company,
(32:17):
but he was the head of it for the Middle
East and it was He lived like a king there
and you cannot speak ill of Musket Nomon to him.
He absolutely loved it. He went back to India and
now he runs a big agricultural company. But he thought
Musket Noman was one of the finest places to live
in the world. Where do y'all live now?
Speaker 7 (32:36):
It's well, we used to be in the Dukes Garden
o Folks Forest, and with my husband's travel schedules four
years ago, I didn't feel safe anymore. And so now
we are out west at the Fulk in Fulsher, out
in the Pulcher Simonson area.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
It was just Sweden. The other day Fulscher is blowing
up by good That coal's crossing I thought was a
big deal, and now that that's small compared to everything
else out there.
Speaker 7 (33:07):
It is and it's not fun. And so we're actually
trying to uh go even further west, to get even
further out of town.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
Half where are y'all wanting to go?
Speaker 7 (33:20):
Well, I'm actually gonna call your guy that just joined
you Hi west south. Yeah, maybe Ricto, maybe Eagle Leg
maybe West of Evil Legs something like that.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Oh wow, okay, hold on just a second. Opcnnected with
him
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
So Michael Verie Show is on the air. We will
open the phone line seven one three nine nine nine
one thousand. Should you have an opinion you'd like to share?
(00:32):
Seven one three nine nine nine one thousand. I was
hoping somebody would step up for me and say, on
the Dairy Queen auction, I think it's local Auctions dot Com.
I was hoping that someone would say, I'll figure out
(00:52):
which pieces, and you tell me your budget and I'll
get it and bring it to you. But it hasn't
happened yet, so maybe I was insufficiently direct. I was
too subtle. What I'm looking for so that you know,
for the studio is the old Dairy Queen. Anything that
(01:16):
says DQ, just keep moving past that. I don't want
anything with a DQ. I don't want the new color pattern,
the new kind of orangeishy yellow, and then the limestone
that looks like a model home in every suburban home
in America when you walk into the ference, all the
same stone. I don't want that. I'm looking for the
(01:38):
old Dairy Queen red logo with that, you know, the red.
I don't know what that size of that thing is,
but you know what I'm talking about. I'd rather it
be kind of a one foot by one foot or less.
It could be a little more, but I don't want
to overwhelm the room. And it has to spell out
the dairy queen in the old, very simple way. If
(02:00):
you walk into a dairy queen where this auction is
going on and the ceiling is higher than seven feet
six inches tall, you're in the new one. It can't
be that. It has to be the old melamine style,
bolted down benches, you know, the drill, and I just
want something that would have hung on the wall. I'd
love one of those signs that was out front that
(02:21):
they would put up, you know, that would be you know,
your beacon that would tell you. But I think that
would be too big for our space, because those things
are bigger than you realize. Scottie writes, I couldn't email
you yesterday, but the dairy Queen on FM nineteen sixty
that you mentioned is near Jones Road. That DQ was
built around seventy two. It was the first thing built
(02:42):
out there when nineteen sixty and Jones Road were two
lane roads and the intersection was a stop sign. There
was a period when it was not taken care of,
but whoever owns it now keeps it clean and it's
still the old style counter. My parents moved out there
in seventy two and we still live out here. My
wife and I actually went there last weekend. There are
a few other DQ's in the area as well. There's
(03:03):
one at Fairbanks, North Houston and West Little York and
one on two forty nine and Perry. I had to
travel to Marshall yesterday. I go every two weeks, and
the one in die Ball and Carthage are closed. I
swear that the one in die Ball was open two
weeks ago. Yeah, that's one of the ones they're closing.
When I went to Marshall, I listened to the morning
When I go to Marshall, I listened to the morning
(03:25):
show going and listening to the evening show when I'm
coming home. Thanks for the show. Well, thank you, Scotty.
I would I would. Yeah, So anyway, I would love
to find one of those things. So Sylvester Turner is
in Congress, Okay, why wouldn't he be after eight years
as mayor and Sheila Jackson Lee dying? Who better to
(03:47):
replace Sheila Jackson Lee than Sylvester Turner. Clip number twenty six,
Mister Roubles asks the question how much money did Sylvester
Turner waste on everything but city services? The head of
the Houston Water Department says that the East Water purification
plant is more than seventy years old, and the Houston
(04:10):
Water Director, Greg Ireley says that the treatment plant supplying
up to seventy five percent of the city's water is failing.
And you'll never guess this. He needs more money. Do
you do you know how many billion dollars are spent
on our water department And he's saying that seventy five
(04:31):
percent of the city's water supply is failing and they're
not replacing it. This is how you steal money without
anybody knowing. You see, you steal the money from departments
that people can't see. You can't take cops off the
street because people will notice that, so you go into
the big departments. There was a guy named Kwame Kilpatrick
(04:51):
whose mom was a congressman and Kwame was the mayor.
I knew him pretty well, decently well, and he was
this young mayor's electing his early thirties, very curious former ballplayer,
big boy big boy.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
And.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
He got in there and his dad. He ended up
making his dad a lobbyist, and his dad was basically
the bagman. And they ended up with and you won't
believe this, but a ten billion dollar water treatment deal.
And instead of it being like a seven year deal,
which was normal, I think they did a twenty year deal.
(05:26):
Well out of ten billion dollars, you can find some
ways to slough off a few million here and a
few million there. His dad was the bagman millions and
millions and millions of dollars. And the funny thing about
the whole thing, he would have never been caught even
though everybody knew he did it, except his wife got
mad over the fact that he was having an affair
with his chief of staff, and their phone records were
(05:46):
confiscated and that's when it all went wrong. But here
in Houston, by the way, which is where Kwame came
when he was on when he was on probation. Here
in Houston, Sylvester Turner ran the city in the ground
and was promoted to be a congressman.
Speaker 3 (06:01):
ABC thirteen official say, infrastructure here at this more than
seventy year old plan is quite literally crumbling. They've actually
had to take this basin offline because look at it.
You can see the floor. It has cracks in it.
Now that barrier wall that's also failing. The water that's
pouring out, those leaks aren't supposed to be happening. In fact,
(06:22):
we were told not even to hold onto these railings
because those are failing as well.
Speaker 4 (06:28):
Though this water is gonna make it all the way
to Katie.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Walking us through a facility, he sets maybe on the
brink of.
Speaker 4 (06:36):
Disaster, you'll see a crack in the sidewalls of Houston.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
Water Director Greg Eireley says the city's East water treatment
plant has a list of needed critical repairs too long
to share.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
The list is the entire plant.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
Ireley says the plant is in such bad shape his
team is determined it makes more sense to scrap it
and build a new one.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
A lot of people say, well, why just rehab the
plant you have parts of this plant are really beyond
that point.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
And if you live in the Houston area, chances are
your drinking water comes from this failing facility. It services
up to seventy five percent of the region's residents.
Speaker 4 (07:20):
This treatment plant here really feeds the heart of Houston.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
It also pumps lifeblood to the region's industry.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Where we have a catastrophic failure of our system that
impacts oil production, impacts the medical center, impacts the port.
That's an impact that's going to be felt nationwide.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
And right now, officials say they don't have the money
needed to take necessary steps to prevent that.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
We need to do them now.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
In a race against time. City officials hope showing this
site will improve Houston's chances of being approved for no interest,
state or federal loans to begin building a new plant.
Speaker 4 (08:00):
Trying to be transparent about what our issues are and
whatever help we can get.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
But even if that helped war improve too, how about
we audit the funds. How about we find out where
the billions have been spent in the last few years.
How about maybe we do that. We got the former
water director who's just plaid guilty and is going to
prison for ten years, and she stole millions and not
giving it back. Maybe we audit the fund Maybe we
(08:25):
do a little local doge.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
What do you think, no matter who's fault it is
the Michael Arry Show, you have a photo that your
photo matters.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Do you know the story behind us it's incredible story.
So David Foster, who was kind of a bubblegum pop
dad and he was Peter seta a lot of pop
music attributed to him. Incredible success, incredible and he was
a hit maker. And he and John Parr had were
(09:03):
under contract for the film, saying almost fire. So they
have to do this epic film. You know this sound
this is the era of the big soundtrack. You know,
I have the song to go with the movie. You
released the song first, and it gets some traction in
the movie. And then when you hear the song in
the movie, you're like, ah, it's that song, and it
evokes all these emotions already. It's a it's a boilerplate
process that worked right. And and so the story goes
(09:28):
that Parr can't come up with with the lyrics. He's trying.
He's got he's got this serious of soaring music, and
he can't come up with anything. So he sees the
story somehow or another. I don't know how it happened
of this uh Canadian by the name of Rick Hanson,
and I can't remember why he was paraplegic. I don't
(09:51):
know if he was in the militaries in a car wreck.
I don't remember, but he had just shattered his body
and he had this special wheelchair and he he's going
to go across Canada, I think, which is a pretty good,
pretty good span. That's a little let's take a minute.
And it's cold. I think it's always cold, and so
(10:15):
he's gonna do I think it was seventy miles a day.
Could be wrong enough, but that number sticks somebody. He's
gonna do seventy miles a day and he's gonna raise
money for spinal cord injuries, sorry, spinal cord research. And
he starts kind of catching some attention when this when
(10:36):
the thing started, because you can't help but look at
the guy and go, man, I don't do seventy miles
a day using my legs perambulating. And so Rick Hanson's
starting to get attention. And the tour was known as
the Man in Motion Tour. And my understanding is I
don't think it was David Foster. I think was John Parr.
I think Parr like he reached out to him. I
(10:57):
saw this on a documentary years ago. But Parr reached out.
We ever tried to contact him, and he was very
impressed with this whole thing, and he decided, well, if
I got to write a song for a movie, and
I there's nothing about sant almost far the movie that's
inspired me to a song, I'm gonna reference the Man
in Motion. And when the song came out, he was
(11:17):
in the middle of the tour, and all of a
sudden boom, everybody wanted to go, you know, where is
Hanson gonna be tomorrow? Well, he'll be in Ottawa at
this play. Oh, all right, let's go. And so the
Man in Motion tour just blows up because of the
song and the movie and all that. And I think
I think the video, if I remember correctly, includes Rick
(11:39):
Hanson in his wheelchair in it, like they flashed to
that constantly. Well fast forward, Hanson's tour becomes so big
that they take it around the world and I can't
remember how many countries they took it to, but that
the whole Man in Motion was not a reference to
anything in the movie. It was a reference to Rick Hanson.
This is very inspiring. Will Chaired, Dude. So I was
(12:02):
student body president of University of Houston. You know this,
and one of the things that we did, or that
was asked of you, was Crippled Awareness Day, and they
would ask you to spend the day in a wheelchair,
and I thought, well, I can do that. Well, I
have negative I have below zero arm strength. I have
(12:25):
the most newtlely arms in the history of mankind. I
can bench press a case of cox. I mean, I'm
not a terribly strong guy, and certainly not upper body. Now,
my hamstring very well developed, but that's a different story.
And so I sign up to do this. Yeah, I'll
agree to do it. And then they follow you. A
reporter with the Daily Cougar, the newspaper follows you. And
(12:48):
this year it got some local press too, like the
Houston Chronicles. Todd Ackerman, who was the Chronicle report, I
think he came. And so I show up at the
offices for the student government and they've got my wheelchair
rat it waitingen. That's gonna be fine. And I sit
down and take a picture of me. Okay, good, and
I'm gonna get some be roll of me rolling along. Well,
here's what nobody tells you. Because you see people wheeling along,
(13:12):
it's one hundred times harder than you think it is.
You you probably think, and I'd rather walk on my
legs in my arms. Your legs are so much stronger
than your arms. You can't quite imagine how different that is.
It makes all the difference in the world. If you
had to walk on your arms instead of your legs,
you wouldn't be able to do it. You just don't
(13:34):
have the strength to do it. The wheelchair, the puff, No,
I didn't get a puff. I had to power this
thing myself. And so then you start noticing things like, oh,
I can't go up those stairs. Well, that means that
all these lawsuits letters has got to be some ramp. Well,
what they don't tell you is you start up the
ramp on that thing, you get a little momentum going hot.
(13:57):
Then your arms, you shouldered. Everything's a king at this point,
and you get about five ten feet up it and
you need to catch your breath for a second. You
got to grab and hold and hold friction. I mean,
you are clinging to dear life, because if you stop
the trip, you go back down. So when you see
somebody going up a hill, going up one of those rams,
(14:17):
just take a moment and admire what you are watching,
because this is incredible. Now fast forward to Rick Hanson,
this bastard seventy miles a day. Now we already know.
Hopefully I've made the point that being in a wheelchair
is one hundred times harder than just walking. How many
people could walk seventy miles a day forget jockey, just
(14:40):
walk seventy miles a day and do that for weeks
and weeks and weeks on end. This dude's doing it
on a wheel chair. Yeah, crazy, crazy, Suzanne. You're on
to Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
See Michael.
Speaker 6 (14:59):

Every nation.
Speaker 9 (19:10):
Commuitday.
Speaker 8 (19:12):
That day Marga God bless the uscrilture.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Dot com reports more homes were built in Texas last
year than any other state, and they forecast that Texas
will become the nation's most populous state in twenty forty four.
Texas is two hundred and twenty five thousand, six hundred
and one residential building permits, accounting for fifteen percent of
those in the United States, followed by Florida, California, North Carolina,
(19:41):
and Georgia. Meanwhile, the state's population, the fastest growing in
the nation, is expected to make Texas the most populous
state in the country about twenty forty four. There were
thirty one point three million residents in Texas in July,
up from thirty point five million a year earlier in
twenty nine million in twenty twenty. It's an almost eight
(20:01):
percent increase in just four years. For the ten years
ended in twenty twenty four, Texas added three point nine
million residents, compared to two point nine million in Florida.
Among the top reasons for the state's booming population are
Texas climate, job Texas climate, what job opportunities, and relatively
affordable housing. The realtor dot Com report, which relied on
(20:23):
its own housing data and US Census Bureau data from
nine to twenty three, also found that more than one
in four people shopping for homes in Texas are from
out of state. More than one in four out of
staters come in here. More Californians moved to Texas than
residents of any other state, seven hundred and eighty one
thousand of them. Now, I know what your response is
going to be, Michael, keep them out. They're going to
(20:44):
try to California, myp Texas. I'm going to tell you
the data that I've seen. I agree. Intuitively, we think
Californias are a bunch of nuts. We don't want them here,
fruits and nuts. We don't need them here. But the
data will show you that where they're moving in, they're
moving in as Republicans. Remember, they're fleeing California. And before
(21:05):
you tell me, I California is they're all the same.
You live in Harris County. Do you want me to
say we don't want people from Harris County moving out
to Montgomery County or Fort Bend or Tyler County or
Walker County because of Lena Hidalgo. Are you a Lena
Hidogo person? No, people are leaving California. More Texans moved
to California than any other state, three hundred and six
(21:25):
thousand of them. Good. We'll send them our fruits and nuts.
They can send us their conservative folks. I like it. Suzanne,
you were going to talk about Texas, A and M.
I believe. I'm not sure what to do about Suzanne
Dan and what are you doing? Are you on a
cricket phone?
Speaker 6 (21:48):
I didn't get a lot of reverberations.
Speaker 2 (21:51):
Oh I hate that. Let me just take you about
five minutes and tell how much I hate that.
Speaker 6 (21:54):
All right, go ahead, Okay, So I called the last
party in your show. Last segment, you were talking about
football and all that. You were talking about A and M.
But I just have a suggestion on you know, we'd
all like to see or those of us who like
A and M would like to see them win more games.
(22:16):
I think they need to break your tradition. If they
want to start winning more games, they need to bring
in cheerleaders and the dance team. They need to let
it go and bring them in, bring some fun into
the stadium, and they probably start winning more games.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Hello minute. You know, in terms of fan experience, I
would argue that Texas A and M would probably undoubtedly
be listed as the greatest fan experience in all of
college football. Absolutely, are you saying you don't want to
you don't want a bunch of dudes dressed as first
(22:54):
year Navy sailors as the cheerleaders. Is that what you're saying.
Speaker 6 (23:00):
That's exactly what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Well, I mean, listen, I'd like to see Hey, yeah.
Speaker 6 (23:07):
I mean change it up a little.
Speaker 2 (23:09):
You know, it couldn't hurt. I mean, yeah, I really
don't know why. I mean, you look, there's a military tradition,
as you know, and I think that probably has something
to do with it. But I wouldn't really mind breaking
ranks and putting some pretty girls down there. I agree,
Oh I wish I could be again. I mean, there's
tradition and everything else, and I'm all for a tradition,
(23:30):
bring back bonfire, stop letting the DEI professors come in
and talk about boys chopping off their wieners, which unfortunately
A and M has allowed to happen. I mean all
of those things, But I don't know that there is
a more tradition rich four year public university in the country. Frankly.
I mean they even in terms of maintaining traditions, I
(23:51):
think they even exceed University of Texas, and that's hard to.
Speaker 6 (23:56):
Do absolutely lately.
Speaker 2 (24:00):
But are you a graduations.
Speaker 5 (24:03):
Now?
Speaker 7 (24:04):
I'm not.
Speaker 6 (24:04):
I have a son and some other people in my
family that I went to TACU. But it's just I mean,
how many games have you watched and you just want
them to win? So let's do something just a little different.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
Well, I'm not sure that's the reason.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Very show You'll maybe love You.
Speaker 8 (24:46):
Golden Days before they.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Christs Secrets to the.
Speaker 1 (24:58):
US.
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Collins has voted against cloture in the Cash Battel nomination. Cloture,
of course, would end the filibuster and force a vote.
I think we will have a vote this afternoon, and
I think Cash will pass. The question is is it
fifty one fifty with JD. Vance casting the deciding vote?
(25:21):
Is it fifty one forty nine? I think Mitch McConnell
will vote against him. I think Collins and perhaps even
Murkowski could vote, could both cast a vote against him.
They're in an interesting situation. I believe that some of
them are so compromised and are aware that there is
(25:45):
knowledge of what they've done, that their only shot is
to keep him from being the FBI director. And look,
Adam Shiff stood in front of the FBI headquarters and said,
this guy's a political hack. He basically described the last
four years of the Biden This guy's a hack. This
is not law enforcement, that's his political hackeryad And remember
(26:05):
Adam Shiff accepted accepted a pardon from Joe Biden for
what what are you being pardoned for? So he just
got his fiftieth vote, which means that with JD's we
need fifty one. Though, Hey, did you know that Bessen's Tomo? Yeah,
(26:28):
so yesterday I see something that says Bessen was asked
about being Homo and serving for Trump, and he said
Trump doesn't have problem. Homos, what's your problem? But what's
your issue? Why are you asking a stupid question? And
I thought, well, that's good. They didn't, you know, throw
a big rainbow flag out there and like, hey, we
got one over here. Look at this. We got blacks
(26:50):
and women and samoans with a white streak and uh
and homo's They just kind of like, the dude's good
and so far he's done a darn good job, and
he happens to be homo. I thought, well, that's how
it's supposed to be. That shouldn't be the most interesting
thing about you, right at least not while we're talking
(27:10):
about you being a Treasury secretary. Maybe you know, nine
o'clock at night you turn the lights off for the
person on the other side. Maybe that's the most interesting
thing about you. But for the rest of us, we
shouldn't need to know. It shouldn't matter. And that's the thing.
That's the thing people don't realize. Most homos would rather
(27:30):
that little fringe element out there that's going here, we're here,
we're here, get eating that first wanted tolerance, and now
they just want you to bow before him and say
I love you for being home. I love you for it. Well,
most people don't want that. Most homos almost all want
to live the same life as everybody else. And in fact,
(27:52):
the ones I've known, well, folks I've worked with, they
want the Norman Rockwell life. They want the you know,
they want the yard of the month. They want the
perfectly taking care of house. They want you know, the
flag out front and love your neighbors and yes you
(28:13):
can come get some flour and sugar if you need it.
I mean, that's what they want. And then you got
these fringe elements out there ruining it for them, making
people think that there's some craze. And let me tell
you something, Blacks same way. Most black people just want
to be human beings. They don't want to have to
be you know, your token black friend or you're token
(28:33):
black employee, or you're token black member of this or that.
They just kind of want to live like everybody else,
and you know, hunt and fish and restore old cars
and everything else. He got his fifty first so kloture.
That means we're going to the vote. That means we'll
have Cash as a director of the FBI by this afternoon.
That means by tonight we'll have shift in prison. It's
(28:54):
going to be good. This is going to be a
very good thing. Indeed, all right, Darcy, you're up what
you got sweetheart?
Speaker 7 (29:01):
All right, Michael, there's only three reasons a woman who
would argue for getting for changing the yell leaders. Okay,
she's either a wag she didn't attend.

help understand them. No, you want, I Candy, you go

state of Texas and he works for an oil major
and finds change orders that totally mess with our family
budget every month.
Speaker 2 (30:41):

I wouldn't. But as long as I know he's registered,
then I okay, All right.
