Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time time time.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Time, lock and load. So Michael Arry Show.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Is on the air. How are you doing this?
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Here is Sherley you look at honey. I was so
aggravated yesterday. I was sitting there on the couch. I
had my legs sewed up over the couch because I had,
you know, the swelling of the ankles. I been eating
too many pok chop. Sister just all of his turret,
and I was so comfortable. I had just put my
kool aid down on the floor and I had twisted around,
put my ashtray up and got me a method cigarette lit.
(00:55):
And then here come at door beating bam bam, bam bam.
I said, good lord. I had to scrunch all up,
get all characteristed and squat it up and get everything get.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
To the dough.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
And it was a lady out there selling Quansa fruitcakes.
I said, what any where is that? She said, look here,
she say, quansas just around the corner. As you prepared,
Do you have your Quansa cakes and all this? I said,
I don't celebrate that ignance.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
What is that?
Speaker 3 (01:22):
I said? Nobody ever explained to me what Quansa is
actually for. If I had a.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Clue about that.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Maybe I'd get out here and decorate or put up
haints or whatever you're supposed to do for it. I said,
as far as y'all Fruitcake is concerned, look there on
the label that thing be gonna expired back during the
Cliffor administration's shoes. I slammed the door. I hope she
don't never come back over here, because next time I'm
not gonna.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Let her go that heasy.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
I'm a really for show cuss her out knocking my doors.
I'm as Fruitcake, Ya mama.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
House, you dured. We'll miss Kamala Harris. She was fun
to laugh at. Remember that she claimed that she was
raised cell bread in Kwansa and she was gonna bring
Kwansa back. Nobody really ever believed in Quansa. It was
a made up holiday. It was silly and ridiculous. By
(02:12):
the way, Marcus Garvey, the guy that made it up,
ended up being convicted of was it raped and burned
a woman? Remember, might as well have been in a
Diddy concert, Speaking of which, Tony Busby has apparently filed
a lawsuit against Jay Z, whose real last name is Carter,
(02:37):
for a case allegedly stemming from the year two thousand
when a thirteen year old young lady says she was
raped by Diddy and jay Z after MTV Awards or
some awards show in the bathroom and drugged and raped.
(03:02):
It's pretty brutal story. And so jay Z has come
out with this statement to say that let me see
if I can find it that he knows what kind
of person Tony Busby is and he's not going to
be bullied. He knows the type. Well maybe let's see. Oh,
(03:30):
here we go, all right, let me read you this letter,
because there's something about it is kind of funny. My
lawyer received a blackmail attempt blackmail called a demand letter
from a quote unquote lawyer named Tony Busby. I'm not
sure you need the quote there, mister Carter. He is
(03:51):
a lawyer, he has a law degree, and he passed
the bar, and he's in good standing. What he had
calculated was the nature of these allegations and the public
scrutiny would make me want to settle. Yeah, yeah, that's
the way these work. No, sir, It had the opposite effect.
(04:11):
It made me want to expose you for the fraud
you are in a very public fashion. So no, I
will not give you one red penny. Now, mind you,
this is a guy who shot his brother in his
own house. This is a guy who had a shooting
in a club. I mean, the facts in evidence against
(04:34):
jay Z would suggest don't plush your pearls too tightly there, brother,
These allegations are so heinous in nature that I implore
you to file a criminal complaint. This reminds me of
Gary Hart who was running for president in nineteen eighty eight,
(04:56):
and they said, hey, U, there's a rumor you got
a hot, little blonde mistress that you've been catting around with,
and you're married, and your wife is back in Denver, Colorado.
And he said, I'm tired of this nonsense. If you
(05:18):
think I'm doing that, then you just follow me. And
the Miami Herald did and aboard the monkey business his boat.
There he was with his mistress, and it ruined his
political career. Sometimes the pure hootspot of saying, if you
(05:41):
think I've done something, you just follow and I'll show you.
So he says, these allegations are so heinous in nature
that I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not
a civil one. Well, careful what you wish for there,
And if you're thinking statute of limitations, the statute of
limits don't toll the twenty years on a sex crime.
(06:04):
I don't know what the state of New York is,
but I suspect they don't begin to toll until the
alleged victim is eighteen. So if an alleged victim is
thirteen at the time, you don't begin tolling the statute
of limitations the period within which a case must be
brought until that person reaches the age of majority, which
(06:28):
is eighteen, and then add twenty, which would mean that
there would still be the basis of a criminal case
if that young lady wants to file it. Whomever would
commit such a crime against a minor should be locked away.
Would you not agree? Yes? And I hope those words
come back to you. These alleged victims would deserve real
(06:50):
justice if that were the case. Oh, I think thou
dost protest too much. The lawyer who have done a
bit of research on seems to have I have a
pattern of these type of theatrics. I have no idea
how you have come to such a deplorable human, To
be such a deplorable human, mister Busby. But I promise
(07:13):
you I have seen your kind many times over. I'm
more than prepared to deal with your type. You claim
to be a marine. Marines are known for their valor.
You have neither honor nor dignity. My only heartbreak is
from my family, and he goes through the well. I'll
have to tell my kids about this now. My heart
(07:36):
and support goes out to true victims in the world
who have to watch how their life story is dressed
in costume for profitability by this ambulance chaser in a
cheap suit. And see that's where I draw a line.
Busby does not wear cheap suits. I happen to know
who his tailor is. One of them. I believe Impenner
(07:57):
does his suits, and those are Nachi. You can call
Tony Bussby many many things. You are free to do so,
and that's a question of a subjective judgment call. But
his suits are not cheap. I assure you you have
made a terrible error in judgment thinking that all celebrities
are the same. I'm not from your world. I'm a
(08:20):
young man who made it out of the project of Brooklyn.
We don't play these type of games. We have very
strict codes and honor. We protect children. You seem to
exploit people for personal game, owning your network of conspiracy theorists.
Fake physics will believe, fake physics, will believe the idiotic
(08:42):
claims you have, Levy, I look forward to showing you
just how different I am. There are rumors that the
p Diddy party disclosures will bring down some very prominent politicians,
media and celebrities, and I'm here for it. Michael Arry Show.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Extreame of bets in lives that John never.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Stops in the States.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
In my very gray I made.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
I don't have any affinity, loyalty, whatever the term might
be for the brat Pack of the eighties in the
sense that I would watch a movie because there's a
there's a documentary about them that Andrew McCarthy is Andrew McCarthy's,
as say, made and it was him reconnecting with all
(09:46):
of them and how each one of them kind of
dealt with the term brat pack and whether they liked
it or whether they didn't, and kind of coming to
grips with, you know, forty years later, what's become of
their lives. And I think Andrew McCarthy was supposed to
be kind of a love interest leading man, and I
think he was expecting more of a Brad Pitt career
(10:09):
and it didn't quite work out for him that way,
and this is his sort of therapy to go through this.
But there was a moment in Michael Barry world where
my heroes as a kid were Roberty Lee Davy Crockett.
(10:29):
I often say to people over the years when people
would say, you know your candidate's going to lose. Your
candidate's going to lose. My candid you should stop, you
should quit. Your canon's going to lose. Say you have
to understand. The three male figures that I most admire
and respect are my personal savior, Jesus Christ, Davy Crockett,
(10:56):
and Roberty Lee. Now Christ is risen and that's the resurrection.
But for the other two, do you understand that being
defeated in defense in pursuit of high principle is a
(11:16):
much greater glory to me than winning in a dirty fashion.
You understand that? Right? Once you understand that about me,
everything begins to make sense. I don't mind losing if
I'm doing it for principle, And if you're a person
(11:41):
like Harry Reid who lied about Mitt Romney in twenty
twelve and the irs to get Barack Obama elected. And
then later they said, hey, what do you have to
say about the fact that you lied? And he said, hey,
Obama won, didn't he. To me, that's demonic. So that
when occasionally I do win and you do it the
(12:01):
right way, that's the greatest glory because you didn't have
to compromise you who you are. But outside of those
in the eighties, at that moment in the world of
what was cool, Judd Nelson was as cool as it got.
I mean, he could do no wrong, even with that goofy,
(12:24):
you know, with the gloves with the fingers cut out,
Emilio Astavez ah as cool as it got. The outsiders,
oh Man, young Guns, which I still maintain is better
than Tombstone. That was where it was at. Man. I
never got into Tom Cruise. I mean, even before we
knew he was gay. I just always kind of thought
(12:46):
Tom Cruise was weird. He I mean, I didn't think
Goose was the greatest, but when they went into that
whole thing, I mean, Goose was always to me. Val
Kilmer was always way cooler than any of the rest
of them. But for me in those days, that group
(13:11):
of guys, yeah, absolutely, absolutely cool. We're talking about getting
songs wrong. Gene writes, many years ago, my sister asked
if I liked the new song hell Fire Up by
the Oak Ridge Boys. I said, oh, I haven't heard it.
She said, yeah, you have. It's on the radio all
the time, and then she started to sing the chorus
(13:36):
hell Fire Up. My heart's on fire for hell Fire up.
At that point I somewhat recognized it as Elvira. By
the way, ramon this lady Betsy Proctor at the limited edition.
So the story goes, she's been organizing the Katie Market
(14:00):
Days for some time to get people to come into
Katie on one Saturday a month, and now they do
the big Christmas thing, and the City of Katie is
trying to railroad her out of it. I want to
get her on the air, and if her story is correct,
I want to call so much hell for the City
(14:21):
of Katie that not only do they back off and
let her do what she's been doing without them being involved,
but they're so scared to wrong another citizen that they
don't do all the other dumb things that we're gonna do.
(14:42):
It makes some of you very uncomfortable that I will
light myself on fire figuratively. I don't like no one
be burned, no one goes to Shriners, that I will
create a dust up. But I learned this a long
time ago. You know, my chief of staff at city
Hall had been Sheila Jackson, Lee's chief of staff. He
(15:06):
was the first black male to be vice chairman of
the state Democrat Party. I hired him for one reason.
One reason only, well, have two reasons. I liked the
guy a lot. But number two, I knew that he
knew how to get things done. He had worked for
Sheila for years and years and years, and after that
(15:27):
he went to work for Selvester and he was very
loyal to me. People would laugh, They're like, Carl, what
are you doing working for a Republican. It was like,
he gets things done. He helps the community. And every
black pastor in town. We had a black mayor, Lee P. Brown.
They didn't call Brown when they needed to stop sign
in front of their church. They didn't call Brown when
there was drug dealing in front of their church, in
(15:49):
front of their house. They called our office. And I
built a network of contacts people with people in the
third ward, first ward, fifth ward, Sunnyside would have drug dealing. Literally,
the drug dealers would be parked in a Lincoln Continent
out in front of their house and they couldn't get
the cops to move it. I mean, can you imagine
(16:10):
there's drug deals going down, gunshots going on. They'd call
our office. I'd meet uh, what was his name, Danny
vallor what was his name. Oh, he was a Hispanic
vice chief. I'd meet him out at the house and
he'd come swarming up with a bunch of cops with
the lights on. Wasn't anything going on, and the drug
dealer they get out of there and they didn't know
(16:33):
what had happened, but they were moving. They were moving
somewhere else. And that's how we got things done. And
one thing I learned from Carl is a master at
that if you play nice, hey, City of Katie, could
you please not steal the kdie market days from this
(16:54):
nice lady who put this thing together, They'll say, well,
we want you to understand, we have a process. We're
gonna we're gonna talk to stakeholder ball. You're not gonna
do it. We're gonna rain down hell upon you, City
of Katie, mayor City Council. We are going to rain
down hell upon Once you learn that this is how
(17:15):
things are actually done, changes everything. But and I'm trying
to get this woman to call up here so we
can help her. Betsy Proctor's her name. It's called the
Limited Edition. You know what she does remove. I was thinking, what,
it's an antique store. I'm not gonna want to spend any
money there. You know what she does? She sells first
edition movie posters. Yeah, we'll buy some stuff, lady. Somebody
(17:38):
get her to call up here. Seven one three, one thousand.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
With his finger on the pulse, The King of Team
continues on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
That Black Heaven. It's once you think it's hell fire up,
then you hear hell fire up side.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
My spine, my fis mine.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Why I'm saying hell fire? Yeah, once you think of
it as that hell fire. I have received a message
that the owner of the antique shop in Katie is
not exactly our kind of people. She is an extreme liberal.
(18:41):
There may be more to this story than meets the eye.
We will find out, we will endeavor to discover. But
we are always on the lookout or any governmental entity
overstepping their reach. And that is because the government has
the power, they've got the resources, they've got the badge,
(19:03):
they've got people with nothing else to do than harass people.
And we are always on the lookout to turn the
people against that sort of nonsense, because that's what you're
supposed to do. That's we're the king. You're the servant.
You are the servant of the public, the public servant.
(19:24):
Sassy Rights Second Baptists hosted the Angels of Lightness past weekend.
Buses are brought from all over the city with families
in need. They get to have a meal, they see
the incredible model trains display. They enjoy entertainment and the
sharing of the Gospel. When they get back on the
buses to go home, there are wrapped toys for each child,
(19:47):
a bag of groceries, a copy of the Bible in
their own language, and special treats for the family. Our
church family gets to love on these families and make
what might be their only Christmas. We served close to
nine thousand families over the weekend. Wow. I served in
(20:10):
the gym where they served lunch on Saturday, and I
was privileged to wait on about fifty Camp Pope veterans.
They seemed to be enjoying themselves and they were looking
forward to the train display. I told them they were
getting to be kids again. It was a beautiful experience.
Well how about that? That makes me very happy. Indeed,
(20:37):
I won't be able to read out all the wonderful
things that people are doing at this time of year
to help other people in need. I texted ramon this weekend, Hey,
what are you doing? He said, well, we're just cleaning
(20:58):
up around the house. And they had decided that they
were going to take their boys. Are now what grade
are Ali?
Speaker 2 (21:08):
In July.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
First and third? And he and his wife Amy had
decided that their Saturday and Sunday was going to be
spent with their boys, saying, all right, let's go three
through things we don't use anymore, and let's clear some
space in the house. And it being Christmas, let's box
everything up that's still in good shape and usable, and
(21:33):
let's give that to the veterans at Camp Hope to
give to their children. Not junk. I have to say
this because sometimes we end up with people bringing literally
junk over there that nobody would want. But by and
large things can be reused. The reason this matters is
consider this for a moment. The Camp Hope residency is
(21:57):
about a six month program. I'll say about because it
is Christian baths. There is Bible study, but it's abstinence.
When someone comes to the program a combat veteran suffering
from PTSD, they have almost one hundred percent of the time.
(22:20):
I met one recently that this wasn't the case. His
was purely mental and self harm. But they have almost
one hundred percent of the time developed coping techniques, self
medication to deal with the trauma of war and the
separation from their unit. Oftentimes, that's a very difficult thing,
(22:44):
operating as a team, operating in the fog of war,
operating the intensity of war, and that can create issues
in and of itself, the things they've witnessed, all the
inability to integrate back into a normal society. I mean,
imagine you're going home to home clearing homes and you
might have to kill somebody at any moment, something that
(23:05):
most of us will never have to confront. Your buddy
might be killed. You've got to be at such a
level of intensity to keep yourself and your buddy alive,
and then you come home and they go, hey, go
to work in this warehouse and stack these boxes. I
mean that that can be a little hard on a
on a person. That can be a cope. And so
(23:32):
we tend to have a lot more veterans come in
around the holidays because this is the time that everybody
else is happy and they're not happy, and that creates
its own trigger. So you get a guy that comes
in first week in November and you know, he's he's
now he's off the booze and the drugs and the
(23:54):
things that and he's getting his mind right. But he
had to leave behind a wife and kids, which is
I mean, these are young men, think about it, especially
Iraq and Afghanistan. A lot of these a lot of
these folks have kids that are, you know, a year
to fifteen years old, and now all of a sudden,
(24:15):
he's at Camp Hope, which means he can't earn any
money and his kids aren't going to have a Christmas.
Well you can start to see how this becomes a
real issue. And that is why I can't hope. Focus
is very hard on providing things that the veterans can
give to their kids, because that veteran needs to heal
(24:38):
at that moment. Anybody that, and many of you have,
you've had a heart attack, or a stroke, or a
back surgery for that matter, there's a period of time
where you can't be a contributing member of the economy.
You've got to first get yourself healed right. You've got
(24:58):
a first lay up and get whatever it was that
was wrong with you physically and in this case, mentally, emotionally,
spiritually right. And so we don't want them to have
to worry about their kids. It's reasonable. Life is not perfect.
We got kids that are also going through their Christmas
and they don't know what's wrong with daddy.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
From Portland to Albany and all great cities in between,
the Michael Berry Show is nationwide.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Ken Rights want to get rid of high fructose corn syrup,
get rid of the US sugar program, as the dean
of one medical center said, because fructose has no nutritional
value and is not metabolized, your body and mind don't
register that you've taken anything. In Originally authorized by the
(26:08):
two thousand and two Farm Bill to protect the sugar
cane and sugar beet industry, the program now prevents them
from competing with producers of the corn syrup sweeteners. Sugar
tariffs and sugar subsidies now enrich a few powerful corporations.
We don't need to require food processors to make a change.
(26:28):
Just get rid of the sugar program and get rid
of sugar tariffs. Sugar on the world market is cheaper
than a high fructose corn syrup. You know, when I
first got to city council, Houston City Council in January
of two thousand and two, I started noticing things that
(26:55):
I'd never known as a candidate. Start I didn't noticing
how there were certain programs at the city that nobody
seemed to know about. And they had lobbyists who would
(27:17):
you'd get.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
A call.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
From your Republican buddy and who want to go to
lunch while you were at lunching, Hey, what do you
think about the so and so? And this was a
good Republican. This guy, you know, showed up on all
the Republican lists. I knew him from the Bush campaign.
A lot of these folks were Bushies. Yeah okay, And
(27:44):
they would tell you that, you know, there's a lot
of misinformation out there about that it's actually a good program,
really explain to me why, and then you would come
to find out that that company that had a big
city contract would have your white conservative, blue blood proper
(28:11):
blazer khakis wingtips who would take me to lunch, while
at the same time they had a former city councilman
who was a black female radical leftist who was taking
the black female radical leftist to lunch. And they had
(28:33):
a Hispanic who was taking the prominent Hispanic democrat to lunch.
And then you find out, wait a minute, these people
who I thought I could trust don't give a damn
about good government. We'd start the lunch talking about it
(28:56):
would go like this, Man, everywhere I go, people are
blown away that you won. You all as you're the
first Republican to win citywide in a city election who
is an open Republican even though it's a municipal election.
In a city wide you taking Sheila Jackson Lee's seat
(29:17):
has got everybody talking. They're talking about you for Congress, governor,
and President. WHOA, I've been here for ten minutes. Don't
think I didn't think it though. Oh yeah, yeah, everybody's
talking about everybody. They all want to know where this
got come from. Man, he's amazing. Well, you get back
(29:42):
and you compare notes in that same company's lobbyist that
sent the black woman to talk to the black woman congressman.
I mean that city council colleague of mine. They'd say,
you do realize as a black woman on the fourth
largest city compt in the country, coming out of nowhere
(30:03):
to win this race, Sheila's not going to be there forever.
You're the next congressman, governor. The demographics are changing. You're it,
and we're here for you. All we want is good government.
But good government meant supporting their wasteful program. So what
(30:26):
you end up finding out and this is a very
difficult conversation. I have with people every day, whether it
be a homeowners association president, a grassroots person, A lot
of it is business owners. People will say, hey, Sam
Harless is on the other side. Yeah, Sam Harleston. But
(30:49):
Sam Harless, I mean he's one of us. I mean
he's these are good people. I don't know if he's
a good guy or not. I know what he tells you,
and I really don't care if he's a good guy
or not. I don't care if he plays checkers or
chess or peanuckle or shoots the moon or whatever else
I'm telling you, he's voting with the lobby, with the
(31:13):
backing of the Democrats, the grassroots. For you have this
conversation with people all the time. You are against what
he's voting for, and he is against what you're voting for.
Man I go to church with him. Of course you do,
(31:34):
because that's what you do. You see, if you're going
to be bought and paid for by the lobby, how
do you tell the people in your district you're.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Just like him.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
You go to church with him, You show up at
the high school football games, you use the words they
care about. You occasionally send out, send out or put
up a post that Obama's terrible guy or Biden's a
terrible guy, and by default they figure you're just like them,
(32:07):
and they're just like you. Karl Rove was a master
of this. Did George W. Bush ever do what you
wanted him to do? As president? What did he do?
He served the war miners. He got us into two wars.
Isn't it odd that supposedly Bush and Obama and Biden
(32:30):
they're all so different, but they kept us in the
same wars, which twenty years later and all the loss
of life later. I'm going to discuss this this evening.
The Siria question is a very, very complicated question. Some
of you will not like what I have to say
(32:50):
about it. They're mad at Trump because he doesn't want
to get involved in it yet, and they're convincing people
that it's good for Asad to be bounced from being
the leader of Syria. It's a good thing because Asad's
a bad guy and he doesn't like Israel. But do
you realize who's taking over? That's Al Qaieda? You realize
(33:15):
the rebels. This ain't the US Civil War. These ain't
the good guys. This is Al Qaeda. We saw this
in Iraq, we saw this in Afghanistan, we saw this
in Egypt, we saw this in Libya. The very people
who killed our people at Benghazi were the people we
(33:36):
empowered by creating a power vacuum when we kick Kadafi out.
No one wants to be the pro Kadafi guy. But
sometimes the bad guy we know is better than this element.
So why would the establishment Democrat and Republican want that
sell more guns? They want a war in Syria. And
(33:58):
by the way, we're going to be in a war
in Syria count on that. And I got military age
boys and I ain't sending them to Syria, and I
ain't paying for the guns, and I ain't paying for
the mrs. And I ain't paying for the body backs
to bring them home
It's that time time time.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Time, lock and load. So Michael Arry Show.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
Is on the air. How are you doing this?
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Here is Sherley you look at honey. I was so
aggravated yesterday. I was sitting there on the couch. I
had my legs sewed up over the couch because I had,
you know, the swelling of the ankles. I been eating
too many pok chop. Sister just all of his turret,
and I was so comfortable. I had just put my
kool aid down on the floor and I had twisted around,
put my ashtray up and got me a method cigarette lit.
(00:55):
And then here come at door beating bam bam, bam bam.
I said, good lord. I had to scrunch all up,
get all characteristed and squat it up and get everything get.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
To the dough.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
And it was a lady out there selling Quansa fruitcakes.
I said, what any where is that? She said, look here,
she say, quansas just around the corner. As you prepared,
Do you have your Quansa cakes and all this? I said,
I don't celebrate that ignance.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
What is that?
Speaker 3 (01:22):
I said? Nobody ever explained to me what Quansa is
actually for. If I had a.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Clue about that.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Maybe I'd get out here and decorate or put up
haints or whatever you're supposed to do for it. I said,
as far as y'all Fruitcake is concerned, look there on
the label that thing be gonna expired back during the
Cliffor administration's shoes. I slammed the door. I hope she
don't never come back over here, because next time I'm
not gonna.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Let her go that heasy.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
I'm a really for show cuss her out knocking my doors.
I'm as Fruitcake, Ya mama.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
House, you dured. We'll miss Kamala Harris. She was fun
to laugh at. Remember that she claimed that she was
raised cell bread in Kwansa and she was gonna bring
Kwansa back. Nobody really ever believed in Quansa. It was
a made up holiday. It was silly and ridiculous. By
(02:12):
the way, Marcus Garvey, the guy that made it up,
ended up being convicted of was it raped and burned
a woman? Remember, might as well have been in a
Diddy concert, Speaking of which, Tony Busby has apparently filed
a lawsuit against Jay Z, whose real last name is Carter,
(02:37):
for a case allegedly stemming from the year two thousand
when a thirteen year old young lady says she was
raped by Diddy and jay Z after MTV Awards or
some awards show in the bathroom and drugged and raped.
(03:02):
It's pretty brutal story. And so jay Z has come
out with this statement to say that let me see
if I can find it that he knows what kind
of person Tony Busby is and he's not going to
be bullied. He knows the type. Well maybe let's see. Oh,
(03:30):
here we go, all right, let me read you this letter,
because there's something about it is kind of funny. My
lawyer received a blackmail attempt blackmail called a demand letter
from a quote unquote lawyer named Tony Busby. I'm not
sure you need the quote there, mister Carter. He is
(03:51):
a lawyer, he has a law degree, and he passed
the bar, and he's in good standing. What he had
calculated was the nature of these allegations and the public
scrutiny would make me want to settle. Yeah, yeah, that's
the way these work. No, sir, It had the opposite effect.
(04:11):
It made me want to expose you for the fraud
you are in a very public fashion. So no, I
will not give you one red penny. Now, mind you,
this is a guy who shot his brother in his
own house. This is a guy who had a shooting
in a club. I mean, the facts in evidence against
(04:34):
jay Z would suggest don't plush your pearls too tightly there, brother,
These allegations are so heinous in nature that I implore
you to file a criminal complaint. This reminds me of
Gary Hart who was running for president in nineteen eighty eight,
(04:56):
and they said, hey, U, there's a rumor you got
a hot, little blonde mistress that you've been catting around with,
and you're married, and your wife is back in Denver, Colorado.
And he said, I'm tired of this nonsense. If you
(05:18):
think I'm doing that, then you just follow me. And
the Miami Herald did and aboard the monkey business his boat.
There he was with his mistress, and it ruined his
political career. Sometimes the pure hootspot of saying, if you
(05:41):
think I've done something, you just follow and I'll show you.
So he says, these allegations are so heinous in nature
that I implore you to file a criminal complaint, not
a civil one. Well, careful what you wish for there,
And if you're thinking statute of limitations, the statute of
limits don't toll the twenty years on a sex crime.
(06:04):
I don't know what the state of New York is,
but I suspect they don't begin to toll until the
alleged victim is eighteen. So if an alleged victim is
thirteen at the time, you don't begin tolling the statute
of limitations the period within which a case must be
brought until that person reaches the age of majority, which
(06:28):
is eighteen, and then add twenty, which would mean that
there would still be the basis of a criminal case
if that young lady wants to file it. Whomever would
commit such a crime against a minor should be locked away.
Would you not agree? Yes? And I hope those words
come back to you. These alleged victims would deserve real
(06:50):
justice if that were the case. Oh, I think thou
dost protest too much. The lawyer who have done a
bit of research on seems to have I have a
pattern of these type of theatrics. I have no idea
how you have come to such a deplorable human, To
be such a deplorable human, mister Busby. But I promise
(07:13):
you I have seen your kind many times over. I'm
more than prepared to deal with your type. You claim
to be a marine. Marines are known for their valor.
You have neither honor nor dignity. My only heartbreak is
from my family, and he goes through the well. I'll
have to tell my kids about this now. My heart
(07:36):
and support goes out to true victims in the world
who have to watch how their life story is dressed
in costume for profitability by this ambulance chaser in a
cheap suit. And see that's where I draw a line.
Busby does not wear cheap suits. I happen to know
who his tailor is. One of them. I believe Impenner
(07:57):
does his suits, and those are Nachi. You can call
Tony Bussby many many things. You are free to do so,
and that's a question of a subjective judgment call. But
his suits are not cheap. I assure you you have
made a terrible error in judgment thinking that all celebrities
are the same. I'm not from your world. I'm a
(08:20):
young man who made it out of the project of Brooklyn.
We don't play these type of games. We have very
strict codes and honor. We protect children. You seem to
exploit people for personal game, owning your network of conspiracy theorists.
Fake physics will believe, fake physics, will believe the idiotic
(08:42):
claims you have, Levy, I look forward to showing you
just how different I am. There are rumors that the
p Diddy party disclosures will bring down some very prominent politicians,
media and celebrities, and I'm here for it. Michael Arry Show.
Speaker 3 (09:07):
Extreame of bets in lives that John never.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Stops in the States.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
In my very gray I made.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
I don't have any affinity, loyalty, whatever the term might
be for the brat Pack of the eighties in the
sense that I would watch a movie because there's a
there's a documentary about them that Andrew McCarthy is Andrew McCarthy's,
as say, made and it was him reconnecting with all
(09:46):
of them and how each one of them kind of
dealt with the term brat pack and whether they liked
it or whether they didn't, and kind of coming to
grips with, you know, forty years later, what's become of
their lives. And I think Andrew McCarthy was supposed to
be kind of a love interest leading man, and I
think he was expecting more of a Brad Pitt career
(10:09):
and it didn't quite work out for him that way,
and this is his sort of therapy to go through this.
But there was a moment in Michael Barry world where
my heroes as a kid were Roberty Lee Davy Crockett.
(10:29):
I often say to people over the years when people
would say, you know your candidate's going to lose. Your
candidate's going to lose. My candid you should stop, you
should quit. Your canon's going to lose. Say you have
to understand. The three male figures that I most admire
and respect are my personal savior, Jesus Christ, Davy Crockett,
(10:56):
and Roberty Lee. Now Christ is risen and that's the resurrection.
But for the other two, do you understand that being
defeated in defense in pursuit of high principle is a
(11:16):
much greater glory to me than winning in a dirty fashion.
You understand that? Right? Once you understand that about me,
everything begins to make sense. I don't mind losing if
I'm doing it for principle, And if you're a person
(11:41):
like Harry Reid who lied about Mitt Romney in twenty
twelve and the irs to get Barack Obama elected. And
then later they said, hey, what do you have to
say about the fact that you lied? And he said, hey,
Obama won, didn't he. To me, that's demonic. So that
when occasionally I do win and you do it the
(12:01):
right way, that's the greatest glory because you didn't have
to compromise you who you are. But outside of those
in the eighties, at that moment in the world of
what was cool, Judd Nelson was as cool as it got.
I mean, he could do no wrong, even with that goofy,
(12:24):
you know, with the gloves with the fingers cut out,
Emilio Astavez ah as cool as it got. The outsiders,
oh Man, young Guns, which I still maintain is better
than Tombstone. That was where it was at. Man. I
never got into Tom Cruise. I mean, even before we
knew he was gay. I just always kind of thought
(12:46):
Tom Cruise was weird. He I mean, I didn't think
Goose was the greatest, but when they went into that
whole thing, I mean, Goose was always to me. Val
Kilmer was always way cooler than any of the rest
of them. But for me in those days, that group
(13:11):
of guys, yeah, absolutely, absolutely cool. We're talking about getting
songs wrong. Gene writes, many years ago, my sister asked
if I liked the new song hell Fire Up by
the Oak Ridge Boys. I said, oh, I haven't heard it.
She said, yeah, you have. It's on the radio all
the time, and then she started to sing the chorus
(13:36):
hell Fire Up. My heart's on fire for hell Fire up.
At that point I somewhat recognized it as Elvira. By
the way, ramon this lady Betsy Proctor at the limited edition.
So the story goes, she's been organizing the Katie Market
(14:00):
Days for some time to get people to come into
Katie on one Saturday a month, and now they do
the big Christmas thing, and the City of Katie is
trying to railroad her out of it. I want to
get her on the air, and if her story is correct,
I want to call so much hell for the City
(14:21):
of Katie that not only do they back off and
let her do what she's been doing without them being involved,
but they're so scared to wrong another citizen that they
don't do all the other dumb things that we're gonna do.
(14:42):
It makes some of you very uncomfortable that I will
light myself on fire figuratively. I don't like no one
be burned, no one goes to Shriners, that I will
create a dust up. But I learned this a long
time ago. You know, my chief of staff at city
Hall had been Sheila Jackson, Lee's chief of staff. He
(15:06):
was the first black male to be vice chairman of
the state Democrat Party. I hired him for one reason.
One reason only, well, have two reasons. I liked the
guy a lot. But number two, I knew that he
knew how to get things done. He had worked for
Sheila for years and years and years, and after that
(15:27):
he went to work for Selvester and he was very
loyal to me. People would laugh, They're like, Carl, what
are you doing working for a Republican. It was like,
he gets things done. He helps the community. And every
black pastor in town. We had a black mayor, Lee P. Brown.
They didn't call Brown when they needed to stop sign
in front of their church. They didn't call Brown when
there was drug dealing in front of their church, in
(15:49):
front of their house. They called our office. And I
built a network of contacts people with people in the
third ward, first ward, fifth ward, Sunnyside would have drug dealing. Literally,
the drug dealers would be parked in a Lincoln Continent
out in front of their house and they couldn't get
the cops to move it. I mean, can you imagine
(16:10):
there's drug deals going down, gunshots going on. They'd call
our office. I'd meet uh, what was his name, Danny
vallor what was his name. Oh, he was a Hispanic
vice chief. I'd meet him out at the house and
he'd come swarming up with a bunch of cops with
the lights on. Wasn't anything going on, and the drug
dealer they get out of there and they didn't know
(16:33):
what had happened, but they were moving. They were moving
somewhere else. And that's how we got things done. And
one thing I learned from Carl is a master at
that if you play nice, hey, City of Katie, could
you please not steal the kdie market days from this
(16:54):
nice lady who put this thing together, They'll say, well,
we want you to understand, we have a process. We're
gonna we're gonna talk to stakeholder ball. You're not gonna
do it. We're gonna rain down hell upon you, City
of Katie, mayor City Council. We are going to rain
down hell upon Once you learn that this is how
(17:15):
things are actually done, changes everything. But and I'm trying
to get this woman to call up here so we
can help her. Betsy Proctor's her name. It's called the
Limited Edition. You know what she does remove. I was thinking, what,
it's an antique store. I'm not gonna want to spend any
money there. You know what she does? She sells first
edition movie posters. Yeah, we'll buy some stuff, lady. Somebody
(17:38):
get her to call up here. Seven one three, one thousand.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
With his finger on the pulse, The King of Team
continues on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 1 (17:50):
That Black Heaven. It's once you think it's hell fire up,
then you hear hell fire up side.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
My spine, my fis mine.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Why I'm saying hell fire? Yeah, once you think of
it as that hell fire. I have received a message
that the owner of the antique shop in Katie is
not exactly our kind of people. She is an extreme liberal.
(18:41):
There may be more to this story than meets the eye.
We will find out, we will endeavor to discover. But
we are always on the lookout or any governmental entity
overstepping their reach. And that is because the government has
the power, they've got the resources, they've got the badge,
(19:03):
they've got people with nothing else to do than harass people.
And we are always on the lookout to turn the
people against that sort of nonsense, because that's what you're
supposed to do. That's we're the king. You're the servant.
You are the servant of the public, the public servant.
(19:24):
Sassy Rights Second Baptists hosted the Angels of Lightness past weekend.
Buses are brought from all over the city with families
in need. They get to have a meal, they see
the incredible model trains display. They enjoy entertainment and the
sharing of the Gospel. When they get back on the
buses to go home, there are wrapped toys for each child,
(19:47):
a bag of groceries, a copy of the Bible in
their own language, and special treats for the family. Our
church family gets to love on these families and make
what might be their only Christmas. We served close to
nine thousand families over the weekend. Wow. I served in
(20:10):
the gym where they served lunch on Saturday, and I
was privileged to wait on about fifty Camp Pope veterans.
They seemed to be enjoying themselves and they were looking
forward to the train display. I told them they were
getting to be kids again. It was a beautiful experience.
Well how about that? That makes me very happy. Indeed,
(20:37):
I won't be able to read out all the wonderful
things that people are doing at this time of year
to help other people in need. I texted ramon this weekend, Hey,
what are you doing? He said, well, we're just cleaning
(20:58):
up around the house. And they had decided that they
were going to take their boys. Are now what grade
are Ali?
Speaker 2 (21:08):
In July.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
First and third? And he and his wife Amy had
decided that their Saturday and Sunday was going to be
spent with their boys, saying, all right, let's go three
through things we don't use anymore, and let's clear some
space in the house. And it being Christmas, let's box
everything up that's still in good shape and usable, and
(21:33):
let's give that to the veterans at Camp Hope to
give to their children. Not junk. I have to say
this because sometimes we end up with people bringing literally
junk over there that nobody would want. But by and
large things can be reused. The reason this matters is
consider this for a moment. The Camp Hope residency is
(21:57):
about a six month program. I'll say about because it
is Christian baths. There is Bible study, but it's abstinence.
When someone comes to the program a combat veteran suffering
from PTSD, they have almost one hundred percent of the time.
(22:20):
I met one recently that this wasn't the case. His
was purely mental and self harm. But they have almost
one hundred percent of the time developed coping techniques, self
medication to deal with the trauma of war and the
separation from their unit. Oftentimes, that's a very difficult thing,
(22:44):
operating as a team, operating in the fog of war,
operating the intensity of war, and that can create issues
in and of itself, the things they've witnessed, all the
inability to integrate back into a normal society. I mean,
imagine you're going home to home clearing homes and you
might have to kill somebody at any moment, something that
(23:05):
most of us will never have to confront. Your buddy
might be killed. You've got to be at such a
level of intensity to keep yourself and your buddy alive,
and then you come home and they go, hey, go
to work in this warehouse and stack these boxes. I
mean that that can be a little hard on a
on a person. That can be a cope. And so
(23:32):
we tend to have a lot more veterans come in
around the holidays because this is the time that everybody
else is happy and they're not happy, and that creates
its own trigger. So you get a guy that comes
in first week in November and you know, he's he's
now he's off the booze and the drugs and the
(23:54):
things that and he's getting his mind right. But he
had to leave behind a wife and kids, which is
I mean, these are young men, think about it, especially
Iraq and Afghanistan. A lot of these a lot of
these folks have kids that are, you know, a year
to fifteen years old, and now all of a sudden,
(24:15):
he's at Camp Hope, which means he can't earn any
money and his kids aren't going to have a Christmas.
Well you can start to see how this becomes a
real issue. And that is why I can't hope. Focus
is very hard on providing things that the veterans can
give to their kids, because that veteran needs to heal
(24:38):
at that moment. Anybody that, and many of you have,
you've had a heart attack, or a stroke, or a
back surgery for that matter, there's a period of time
where you can't be a contributing member of the economy.
You've got to first get yourself healed right. You've got
(24:58):
a first lay up and get whatever it was that
was wrong with you physically and in this case, mentally, emotionally,
spiritually right. And so we don't want them to have
to worry about their kids. It's reasonable. Life is not perfect.
We got kids that are also going through their Christmas
and they don't know what's wrong with daddy.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
From Portland to Albany and all great cities in between,
the Michael Berry Show is nationwide.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Ken Rights want to get rid of high fructose corn syrup,
get rid of the US sugar program, as the dean
of one medical center said, because fructose has no nutritional
value and is not metabolized, your body and mind don't
register that you've taken anything. In Originally authorized by the
(26:08):
two thousand and two Farm Bill to protect the sugar
cane and sugar beet industry, the program now prevents them
from competing with producers of the corn syrup sweeteners. Sugar
tariffs and sugar subsidies now enrich a few powerful corporations.
We don't need to require food processors to make a change.
(26:28):
Just get rid of the sugar program and get rid
of sugar tariffs. Sugar on the world market is cheaper
than a high fructose corn syrup. You know, when I
first got to city council, Houston City Council in January
of two thousand and two, I started noticing things that
(26:55):
I'd never known as a candidate. Start I didn't noticing
how there were certain programs at the city that nobody
seemed to know about. And they had lobbyists who would
(27:17):
you'd get.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
A call.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
From your Republican buddy and who want to go to
lunch while you were at lunching, Hey, what do you
think about the so and so? And this was a
good Republican. This guy, you know, showed up on all
the Republican lists. I knew him from the Bush campaign.
A lot of these folks were Bushies. Yeah okay, And
(27:44):
they would tell you that, you know, there's a lot
of misinformation out there about that it's actually a good program,
really explain to me why, and then you would come
to find out that that company that had a big
city contract would have your white conservative, blue blood proper
(28:11):
blazer khakis wingtips who would take me to lunch, while
at the same time they had a former city councilman
who was a black female radical leftist who was taking
the black female radical leftist to lunch. And they had
(28:33):
a Hispanic who was taking the prominent Hispanic democrat to lunch.
And then you find out, wait a minute, these people
who I thought I could trust don't give a damn
about good government. We'd start the lunch talking about it
(28:56):
would go like this, Man, everywhere I go, people are
blown away that you won. You all as you're the
first Republican to win citywide in a city election who
is an open Republican even though it's a municipal election.
In a city wide you taking Sheila Jackson Lee's seat
(29:17):
has got everybody talking. They're talking about you for Congress, governor,
and President. WHOA, I've been here for ten minutes. Don't
think I didn't think it though. Oh yeah, yeah, everybody's
talking about everybody. They all want to know where this
got come from. Man, he's amazing. Well, you get back
(29:42):
and you compare notes in that same company's lobbyist that
sent the black woman to talk to the black woman congressman.
I mean that city council colleague of mine. They'd say,
you do realize as a black woman on the fourth
largest city compt in the country, coming out of nowhere
(30:03):
to win this race, Sheila's not going to be there forever.
You're the next congressman, governor. The demographics are changing. You're it,
and we're here for you. All we want is good government.
But good government meant supporting their wasteful program. So what
(30:26):
you end up finding out and this is a very
difficult conversation. I have with people every day, whether it
be a homeowners association president, a grassroots person, A lot
of it is business owners. People will say, hey, Sam
Harless is on the other side. Yeah, Sam Harleston. But
(30:49):
Sam Harless, I mean he's one of us. I mean
he's these are good people. I don't know if he's
a good guy or not. I know what he tells you,
and I really don't care if he's a good guy
or not. I don't care if he plays checkers or
chess or peanuckle or shoots the moon or whatever else
I'm telling you, he's voting with the lobby, with the
(31:13):
backing of the Democrats, the grassroots. For you have this
conversation with people all the time. You are against what
he's voting for, and he is against what you're voting for.
Man I go to church with him. Of course you do,
(31:34):
because that's what you do. You see, if you're going
to be bought and paid for by the lobby, how
do you tell the people in your district you're.
Speaker 2 (31:43):
Just like him.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
You go to church with him, You show up at
the high school football games, you use the words they
care about. You occasionally send out, send out or put
up a post that Obama's terrible guy or Biden's a
terrible guy, and by default they figure you're just like them,
(32:07):
and they're just like you. Karl Rove was a master
of this. Did George W. Bush ever do what you
wanted him to do? As president? What did he do?
He served the war miners. He got us into two wars.
Isn't it odd that supposedly Bush and Obama and Biden
(32:30):
they're all so different, but they kept us in the
same wars, which twenty years later and all the loss
of life later. I'm going to discuss this this evening.
The Siria question is a very, very complicated question. Some
of you will not like what I have to say
(32:50):
about it. They're mad at Trump because he doesn't want
to get involved in it yet, and they're convincing people
that it's good for Asad to be bounced from being
the leader of Syria. It's a good thing because Asad's
a bad guy and he doesn't like Israel. But do
you realize who's taking over? That's Al Qaieda? You realize
(33:15):
the rebels. This ain't the US Civil War. These ain't
the good guys. This is Al Qaeda. We saw this
in Iraq, we saw this in Afghanistan, we saw this
in Egypt, we saw this in Libya. The very people
who killed our people at Benghazi were the people we
(33:36):
empowered by creating a power vacuum when we kick Kadafi out.
No one wants to be the pro Kadafi guy. But
sometimes the bad guy we know is better than this element.
So why would the establishment Democrat and Republican want that
sell more guns? They want a war in Syria. And
(33:58):
by the way, we're going to be in a war
in Syria count on that. And I got military age
boys and I ain't sending them to Syria, and I
ain't paying for the guns, and I ain't paying for
the mrs. And I ain't paying for the body backs
to bring them home
