Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time time, time time luck And look, Michael
Berry Show is on the air. It's Charlie from BlackBerry's Mother.
I could feel a good one coming on. It's the
(00:24):
Michael Berry Show. When my kids were in elementary school,
they uh the I would drop them off in the
morning at school, which was one of my great joys
in life. If we lived too far from the school
to be able to get dropped off at the school,
(00:45):
as we lived out in the country and it was
two little country communities, mac Lewis and Orangefield, and to
get to the school was so far away that I
didn't you know, we rode the school bus, which look,
I wouldn't trade that for the world. It's an experience,
and you know there's a lot of people that can
identify with you know, I rode the school bus. You
rode the school bus, so I can talk about, you know,
(01:07):
the green linoleum or whatever that material pleather that they
stretched on there, and that the seat belts didn't work
and the ac didn't work. So you know, you were like, uh,
you know in what you see these people that they're
they're suffocating. You're trying to get out, you get your
head out the windows so you can breathe, and the
(01:28):
window was like the concession stand deal. But when I
got a little distracted there when when my kids were younger,
we lived close enough and it was on my way
into the studio that I could drop them off at
their school. And I will tell you it's one of
the great joys in life. I really enjoyed it, and
(01:51):
I felt like that was where I got my best
conversation time with them, especially in the morning, because in
the morning kids are still curious. There's interested.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
One.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
One of one of the great frustrations as a parent.
Every parent I know is going to nod their head
at this is that you pick your kids up from
school and how is your day? Fine? What'd you do? Nothing?
And I had another parent tell my wife and I
we were frustrated by it, and her kids were older.
(02:24):
And her name is Melissa Schnitzer. She's a great Republican
activist and and her family, her husband and his family
are are big builders of Houston's history. They built Greenway
Plaza and she told us one time we were talking
about the fact. We said, Melissa, we pick up our
kids from school and we're so excited to see them.
(02:47):
We've taken time out of our day in this, you know,
the stress and the seriousness of of the of you know,
your work day, and you pick up the kid and
you're ready for this just wonderful after school moment, and
you know, how is you? They fine? What'd you do? Nothing?
And she said, you guys have to realize and she said,
it is such a mommy would say it. Those little
(03:09):
babies are tired. There were out. It's all they can
do to keep it together. They didn't poop their pants,
they didn't pee their pants. That they managed to go
out at recess and be so sweaty and come back
inside and you know, their their legs are bouncing around,
their hands are bouncing around. The teacher tells them, you know,
calm them down. They're trying to put them on, you know,
(03:31):
some drug that suppress their natural image. There's natural urges
to be little boys. They're they're stressed out of their
minds and they're tired. They keep it all together all
day and when they get in the car with you.
So anyway, we would drop the kids off in the morning,
which was the real joy. And there was a there
was a principal who would say, as he was out
(03:53):
front as we were letting them out. Uh, sorry, when
we pick them up in the evening. No, no, it
wasn't morning. It wasn't the morning. As they would get
out and say hello to him, and then they would,
you know, trundle off to the classroom, and he would say,
make it a great day. And I always thought that
was interesting. Instead of have a good day, which is
(04:14):
a very passive verb, pass a good day, have a
good day, Let there be a good day descend upon you,
it was make it a great day. What I love
about the term make America great again. What I love
about that term is it is a transitive verb. It's
(04:37):
an active verb. It's a verb that requires you to
take actions make this happen. We're not letting it happen.
America will not be great again because we sat back
and didn't get in the way. America will only be
(04:59):
great again over the wishes of people on our own
soil who wish to stop that from happening because that
happening hurts them, because they're race baters. Black Lives Matter
does not want America to be a nation that where
(05:21):
blacks and whites get along perfectly harmoniously because nobody contributes
to Black Lives Matter, Nobody. They don't have the foot
soldiers to show up in the streets angry at the
world blaming all their problems on whitey. They don't have
all that if we don't have discord. So they sew it.
(05:41):
That's what they do. They're kind of the arsonist who
has a fire suppression company. Yeah, they get paid coming
and going. They want there to be a problem, then
they get to solve it. I read a piece this week.
I'll read it out at link next week. I just
have an chance to get to it. There's so much happening,
(06:02):
and it was about this discovery as these documents are
coming out of the problems that the FBI causes and
then claims to swoop in and solve, but actually they
cause it. And I think there are going to be
a lot of revelations that way. But back to the point,
making America great again, making America healthy again. I really
(06:27):
want to focus on this. I want to focus on this.
I want you to hang with me for just a moment,
and I want to focus on this because I've come
to the conclusion that we've reached a point. We did
our part to get Trump elected. Now, I notice a
lot of people are just kind of sitting back and
watching from the sidelines, and let's watch Trump go. No,
(06:47):
we've got to get down on the field. This is
self governance. This this only works if we're involved. And
now it's time for us to re engage in our
own personal lives and to talk about that coming up.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Or take me to Texas because he gets out of
this state.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
I think Michael Barry robs Michael Very Show.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
I like you.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Let's talk about what he means to make America read again. Well,
let's start today. Why put off till tomorrow what you
could do today. I think of all the platitudes my
mother would say to me, and how much they make
sense to me now. So, for instance, the core of
a healthy civilization is a healthy family. The core of
a healthy family is a healthy marriage. You think about
(07:32):
how little of our society publicly celebrates marriage, happy, fruitful marriages.
When I hear some guy refer to his wife as
a ball and chain, or my old lady or whatever else,
I refer to my wife as my bride. And that
is my reminder to myself and to her that when
(07:55):
she was young and had the world according she chose
me and I chose her, and that commitment is everlasting.
A woman needs to know that because guess what you
might think to yourself, Well, she's not as skinny as
she was, she's not as pretty as she was. She's
not as well are you Because by the way, she
(08:16):
didn't go bald you did. She didn't get a big
old belly you did. We have to remember that inside
every woman. And I remember this, my girl. My wife
has never well it's not true, but she's almost never
cried in the thirty five years I've known her. She
runs marathons. She's physically tough, little bit thing, but physically tough,
(08:37):
she is stern, She's run five marathons. She's physically a
tough person. She's mentally a tough person. She's emotionally a
very tough person, steely like her dad. But I have
to remember, deep down, underneath all of that is a
little girl who at one point wanted her prince charming,
and your wife at one point wanted her prince charming.
(08:59):
And she said on you. And it's our job to
remind them that we know they's still a beautiful woman
inside there. And that's how we treat them and not
just physically, their spirit. They can be in a wheelchair,
they can be crippled, they can be on a walker.
There is in that person a vessel of beauty. It's
Valentine's Day. So, oh, shoot, Michael, why'd you remind me? Dad?
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Gum it?
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yeah? So okay, So it may be hard to get
a reservation. Now, why don't you call her on the
way home say hey, you know what? Shame on me?
Oh what'd you do? No shame on me. I am
coming to you on bended knee. I just heard Michael
Berry talking about Valentine's Day, and I'll be honest with you.
I'm just I'm going to confess. I'm ashamed of myself
(09:45):
for saying this. I have been so busy at the office.
I've been so busy at school. I've been so busy
at work. We have been so busy getting these budgets together,
so busy putting together that's proposal, so busy doing whatever
it is we're doing, so busy with treating my medical problems,
going to the doc. Then I just forgot about us.
And you know what that's wrong? And I'd like to
fix that. Y Oh, you don't have to do that. No, no, no,
(10:06):
I insist, I insist. I said, we don't have to
get dressed up. But I want to go somewhere, and
I want to hold your hand when we get out
of the truck. I want to hold your hand on
the way in. And I want to remind you of
what I fell in love with you over I want
you to I want to remind you because I probably
hadn't told you a long time. Do you remember that
time when I asked you to go here over so
and so and you didn't go. I was so bummed out.
(10:27):
And you remember that time I asked that girl to
ask you if if you like me? And you remember
that time that I yeah, yeah, that's because you drove
me absolutely crazy with lust or love or romance or
whatever else, and I thought I would do that. We
have to do these things as a society because husbands
and wives have to love each other. That's way more
(10:48):
than the sexual. But the sexual is still important. The
sexual is still important, but it's so much more than that.
And it troubles me, and it worries me that we
don't spend enough time making America great again, making America's
families great again, I'm not going to judge anybody for
divorce because I've been lucky. My girl's great, and I've
had friends who married a girl and she seemed like
(11:09):
she was normal and wonderful, and of course she was
pretty and turned out lurking deep beneath there was a
daddy issues having crazy nutjob who just want to fight
all the time, be jealous all the time, be mad
all the time, be selfish all the time. It can happen.
And by the way, there's some guys who get lazy
in their own relationship and they become a bad person.
(11:31):
So I'm not going to be down on somebody for divorce.
But we need to focus on this issue. We need
to really put effort into this issue. And why do
not I start today. It doesn't have to be the
fanciest restaurant. You don't even have to get dressed. She
didn't have time to get her y'all weren't going to
do anything because the kids are all gone, or you know,
or maybe the kids are in high school and she's
(11:52):
got to get them all dressed.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Up and all.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Just take her somewhere. It's about the conversation. You blow
her mind and you'll be surprised. From now she'll say,
you know, that really meant a lot to me that
if we had that conversation, I had forgotten all that.
It's never too late to start. If you don't have
plans in place, it's never too late to start. Stop
at the grocery store and get her a rose. I
mean something that says, you know what, shame on me.
(12:17):
Our relationship matters. It's important to this family. It's important
to me. I know it's important to you. Man, Why
wouldn't you You know, I don't understand how people are mean.
I know people that are meaner to their spouse than
anyone in the world. They can be nice to everybody
at the office, everybody, but they're mean to their spouse. Why.
I think that's a reflection of their own frustrations and
(12:37):
their own insecurities and their own failures. That's the one
person you ought to want to make happy more than
anything else. And ladies, it doesn't make you less of
a woman, less independent, less modern woman to be absolutely
as sweet as you can be to your husband, to
bring him a beer, to bring him a plate. He
should be providing for you and you should be providing
for him. As we do in our roles. That's happiness.
(12:59):
That's that's joy right there. Oh it's time. Sorry, Ramon
has reminded me. Is that time in the program courtesy
of the greatest executive producer in all the land. And
my message do focus is make America great again, make
your marriages great again, make your families great again. Greatest
executive producer in all the land, CHATTICONI nagadishi your weekend. Hey, Texas,
(13:24):
Matt is facing new charges for his creative attempt to
hunt on private property. Dear blind made out of a
porta potter.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
You know when you're out there in those dear stands,
you know you.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Do have to go part of it.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
I'm the guy.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
When I get out there, I got a fee k
Pete cape might they'll smell us. I have too bad.
I really got paid.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Immigration enforcement now increases. The Honduran consulate in Houston.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Has been busy.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Houstonce hon During consol General says more families are choosing
to return home voluntarily.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
You can't deport us all don't have to. A lot
of you will leave on your own once you understand
there's no future here if you're illegal. A lot of
you will up and leave on your own. How's that
you can't deport us?
Speaker 3 (14:05):
All?
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Say on now, a Houston dentis is caught with more
than one hundred canisters of laughing gas in his car.
Ye if you say he was caught puffing and driving
and drivers a staggering amount of nitrous oxide or laughing gas,
get one hundred and seven of these canisters inside, hi feel?
I mean, think about this, officer. Well, I'm gonna need
(14:26):
some backup over here. I have somewhere between ninety and
one hundred and thirty lap gas canisters. I don't need
to count up. I mean, we'll take your word for it.
That had to take a while. And you know what,
I've at the buzz? Where's all? Valentine's Day? A day
of love right in the middle of Black History months.
Stupid hallmark holiday anyway, I don't view Valentine's Day as
(14:48):
a hallmark holiday. I think there is an important role
in our society that gets insufficient attention, which celebrates the
love between a man and a woman who are in
a committed relationship. We have all the promotion in the world.
Or isn't she hot? Fellas and she's not your girl?
We have all the promotion in the world for seemingly
everything but the bond between a husband and wife. I
(15:11):
think it's important for men and women to love each other.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Listening to the Michael Berry Show podcast, is sexy be Sexy.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
One of the most important things President Trump has done
as president, and there are so many, so many that
it's easy to forget it, but one of the most
important was done on the very first day, and that
was a pardon of almost every person at the Capitol
on January sixth, and a commutation of sentences for I
(15:45):
think fourteen people, one of whom Stuart Rose, the founder
of Both Keepers, who we had on the air, but
it was fourteen fifteen hundred folks who were terroristed as
political prisoners so that the left could try to defeat
Trump in twenty twenty four. Because you have to understand
the deep state, and the government understands better than anyone else,
(16:08):
better perhaps than some of you realize, and you're part
of it. They recognize that America wants change, America wants
to be great again. America wants illegals deported, America wants
Dosee to take effect. America wants Trump to lead the
country and talk to putin and release our hostages and
in the wars and in the waste. The deep state
(16:31):
knows that, but they're going to fight with everything they
have to stop it. And arresting people wrongfully in these
show arrests that were overly violent in these show trials,
Terrorizing people, tormenting people, torturing people was wrong, and we're
not going to let those stories go untold. My friend
(16:54):
Nick Cercy, a very famous actor and a wonderful actor
and a great human being, a great patriot, has been documenting.
He was there on January sixth. He's been documenting these stories.
He'd made a movie or two about it. And he's
been sharing with me some folks whose lives were turned
upside down by the JA six political prosecutions. And one
(17:19):
of them he sent me is Victoria White, and she's
our guest. Victoria, you said, I need to clock out
for a minute from work so that I can talk
to you.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
What do you do now, Well, I work in the
automotive industry. I won't specifically say where, because there's always
the chance that people who don't like Trump find out
where you.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
Work and do everything to try to get you fired.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
I get it, well, let's start at the beginning. Why
were you at the Capitol on January sixth, twenty twenty one.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
I had one just to hear Trump speak, and also
I felt that my presence being there.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Would show that I voted in you know, I just
I didn't.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
I didn't think anything else.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
I just wanted to see my president and hear him
speak and say I voted for him.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Were you there alone?
Speaker 2 (18:23):
No. I went with my oldest daughter, who at the
time was like seventeen, and three of our friends.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
And why don't you just take a few minutes, maybe
five minutes, and tell us what happened and how you
ended up in the Capitol and lay those details off
out and I'm literally gonna turn off my mic and
just listen.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Okay. Well, when we got there, it was early in
the morning, and we were we heard that we could
get into VIP. We'd have to go through security, just
like any Trump probably, So we did not bring backpacks,
we didn't bring purses, and we dressed, you know, our best,
(19:05):
even though it was cold. My friend wore some very
large heels. Anyway, we got right behind VIP, so we
had to go through security. That was the Ellipse's speech
was great, except for.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
It was cold. Other than that it was.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
It was it was so amazing because people in the
VIP were looking back at the crowd that I mean,
there had to be over a million people.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
It was just coming out of like COVID, and you know.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
There was still restrictions in place.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
But this felt great.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
It felt different.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
You felt like you were free again, and you were
around people who.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Loved their country.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
The same way that you know I did and do.
And so that part was great. And then after Trump's
speech and he said to what down and let our
patriotically peacefully let our voices be heard, we were some
of the last people to leave that area.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
And that's important because.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
By the time I ended up, a friend of mine
and myself we separated from our group and ran ahead
because people had ran back saying something was going on.
We don't know what we you know, could have been good,
it could have been Trump was there. Anyway, we ran
ahead because my friend in the heels was really slow.
(20:33):
And mind you, by the time we got there it
must have been about three There was just massive people everywhere.
There were no signs, no gates, there were no police
saying don't go this way, you know that you can't
be on the property. And mind you, the whole way
to the capital, there were police on the side streets,
(20:56):
blocking off the side streets, so you wouldn't think something
that was going on or that that we weren't supposed
to be there at all. The closer you get, the
tighter GM packs like people become.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
And uh, we decided to go up the.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
In clothes but outside staircase to go to the next
level to like look at people or whatever.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
I'm telling you, kind of the fast version of the story. Okay, Anyway,
her and I get separated, and I'm at the time,
I didn't.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Know where I was, like, you know, this is the
area where the president comes out and is inaugurated, you know,
like takes the oaths and whatnot.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
But there is just a bunch of people all over.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
And then I hear Antifa and Tifa and I see too,
I see this guy with like.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
A helmet on.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Mind you, we had like riots, you know, the BLM stuff,
and he looks like one of those guys dressed like that,
and he was a little guy.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
I just ran.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
I didn't think twice.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
I ran and I tried to.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Pull him down and I got him and I pushed
him down, and.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
I'm like, we don't do that, we don't do that.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
He was trying to break out the Capitol window. As
I'm like arguing with people in the crowd because they're like,
we're all on the same team. I'm like, no, no,
we're not. And then this guy comes up behind me,
a different guy, and pulls a weapon, the same exact
type of weapon. And the other guy had had out
of his backpack and attempts to break the window again.
(22:36):
And I go to grab him, but this time a
group of like three or four men pull me back
and away from him, but I've managed to get one
hand free. I grab his backpack and he and him down.
But after that, like I realized, like I got scared
because they're saying like throw me in the window and whatnot.
I turned my attention toward this other area.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Is what we're going to get to them beating you?
Is is this on film?
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Is there? Oh? Yes, everything is on film everyday. It's
all on film.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
And you you presented this in your defense.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Presumably I wish see a lot of people may not know.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
This is that they can decide the judge the.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Prosecute anyone can.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
They can decide what gets presented is eminence.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
And I went.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Through quite a handful of attorneys and a lot of
times it's just it's a sham.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
It's a scam.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
No one's there, Victoria for just a moment. Victoria. Victoria
White's life just turned upside down on January sixth because
of the FBI in the United States government. And we'll
finish her story in the next segment.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Coming Listen to the Michael Berry Show podcast and you'll
be the smartest guy in the room.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Share with your friends and you'll be the most popular too.
Victoria White is our guest or. She was there in
January sixth with her daughter at the Capitol to show
her support for President Trump. What would happen then, and
I'm going to move you on in the story. Let's
talk about being maced and beaten by police. Why they
(24:16):
targeted you and what they did and bring us up
to the president. Go ahead.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Why they targeted me?
Speaker 3 (24:23):
I don't know that day the I'm I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
But talk about what they did to you, the macing,
the beating, baton strikes and all of that.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
That's always a difficult thing to discuss, but basically, yeah, no,
they mace like they call oc spray. There's I guess
two differ and types of.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Mace.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
And an officer zeroed in on me, a lieutenant.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
He had a white shirt. Mind you, this is all.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Caught on video. A big like six foot I don't know,
huge man.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Uh started bashing my head with a collapsible metal police baton.
One attorney counted the strikes at thirty four and as
well as he used his fist and punched my head,
and other officers joined in, and they were jabbing me
(25:42):
with their batons and punching me and pulling my hair
back and forth and bashed my head in the metal
a metal I mean a cement ledge, and they ended up.
My shoes fell off, my hat came off.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Mind you.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
The whole time, I'm not fighting back. My body's turned
the opposite direction as to the way out, and I
was doing good just to not fall and get trampled
in this tight space. And there's this loud, blaring, screeching
(26:25):
found like, uh, it's just it was.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
It was.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
I call it the tunnel of hell. It was hell.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
It's a miracle.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
I'm alive.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
They tried to murder me is what they really did.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
But most of the people don't even know that that
even happened. I doubt even President Trump knows. And they
ended up in palming me, like pushing me between each
other the police as I'm being maced, and mind you,
they have riot gear on and they and the crowd
(26:58):
from outside is pushing in and they're just I don't
even it was held.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
They end up taking me into.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
The capital.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
And just tie my hands by my back.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
They don't say I'm under arrest.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
They don't say him I did anything wrong. And they
basically prayed me and a handful of other people from
different areas of the capital, up and down the capital
till they finally take us out.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
And take us a police station.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
They don't do normal booking.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
They don't take your fingerprints, they don't take your mugshot.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
They just asked you some questions.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
It was just really weird.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
They ended up letting me go that night and then
again never said I was under arrest. They let me
out with no shoes. It was it was freezing, you know,
it was crazy, and I knew they were going to
come for me. I really did. I knew, and I
knew they would try to spin it.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Let's get exactly what they did. They arrested you over
year later, on April eighth, twenty twenty one, charged you.
It was six counts and they put you on pre
trial probation, which is better than some people got. Some
people got thrown in jail and kept there. What did
they charge you with?
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Oh, I don't remember all the charges.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
I know one of them was.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
That en run or whatever thing that they charged a
lot of j Anyuary six ers with, which is like
that alone is like twenty years, and it had it was.
They spun that charge to try to make it fit
our cases.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
But it didn't.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
But that when they dropped for me, I ended up
with just indicted on four charges.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
And you fought it for three years, and you said
it took its toll on you, and you ended up
taking a plea deal. You got orphans, scutive weekends in custody,
you got ninety days of home arrest, You paid two
thousand dollars in restitution supposedly for damage to the capital,
which you yourself had stopped, and you were put on
(29:11):
federal probation for two years, which was to have ended
next January. How did you find out on inauguration day
that the first thing President Trump did is end that
nightmare with his presidential partner. How did you find that out?
Speaker 4 (29:29):
I watched live.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
I was so happy.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Yeah, I watched live.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
And then who contacted you? Did someone begin the process too?
I mean, obviously some people needed to be let out
of prison, that's more immediate, But did you did anyone
reach out to you and say, all right, here's your
paperwork and let's get this thing done.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
I was in I was in confusion with my attorney.
Who had you know, I had the very family, because
it's really everything was Yeah. And then a few like
a day or so later.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
My probation officer had contacted me and said that, you
know that her boss has told her to go ahead.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
And process me, to be done with probation, and yeah, yeah,
it's the.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Real I can't imagine the horror you've been put through,
the fact that our own government did this to you,
the fact that the reasons for it are so obvious
now and have been declared, and yet so many people
who you don't know or and didn't know your name,
(30:51):
are out here rooting for people like you. And I
think this drove a lot of the political activism to
get Trump back in office, to show these people that
we will not let them win. And I hope you
never stop telling your story, Victoria White. I know it's
not easy. I know that there is pain. Warriors who've
(31:13):
been in battle will talk about it. It's difficult to
discuss what happened victims of rape, victims of severe violence,
which you were. It triggers emotions, It triggers things, It
takes someone back to a moment. But I hope you
never stop telling your story because we can never We
should never forget what happened to good people like you
(31:35):
at the US capital and in our government with our
tax dollars. We should never ever forget this because it
could happen again, and that's a horrifying goal. Thank you
for being our guest, Betune. Thank you for having me
pray for people like this. Be grateful that there, but
(31:56):
for the grace of God, you you could have been
if you've been at a Trump well, you can have
been at that one. You could have been wandering through
the Capitol. Things could have taken a turn because some
FBI informant or agent FBI plant started getting four or
five people together and started trying to bash out windows,
(32:16):
and you try to stop it. Before you know it,
your head's being budget. It happened, and it could happen again,
and it's our job, our job as patriots, to prevent
that from ever occurring.
It's that time time, time time luck And look, Michael
Berry Show is on the air. It's Charlie from BlackBerry's Mother.
I could feel a good one coming on. It's the
(00:24):
Michael Berry Show. When my kids were in elementary school,
they uh the I would drop them off in the
morning at school, which was one of my great joys
in life. If we lived too far from the school
to be able to get dropped off at the school,
(00:45):
as we lived out in the country and it was
two little country communities, mac Lewis and Orangefield, and to
get to the school was so far away that I
didn't you know, we rode the school bus, which look,
I wouldn't trade that for the world. It's an experience,
and you know there's a lot of people that can
identify with you know, I rode the school bus. You
rode the school bus, so I can talk about, you know,
(01:07):
the green linoleum or whatever that material pleather that they
stretched on there, and that the seat belts didn't work
and the ac didn't work. So you know, you were like, uh,
you know in what you see these people that they're
they're suffocating. You're trying to get out, you get your
head out the windows so you can breathe, and the
(01:28):
window was like the concession stand deal. But when I
got a little distracted there when when my kids were younger,
we lived close enough and it was on my way
into the studio that I could drop them off at
their school. And I will tell you it's one of
the great joys in life. I really enjoyed it, and
(01:51):
I felt like that was where I got my best
conversation time with them, especially in the morning, because in
the morning kids are still curious. There's interested.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
One.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
One of one of the great frustrations as a parent.
Every parent I know is going to nod their head
at this is that you pick your kids up from
school and how is your day? Fine? What'd you do? Nothing?
And I had another parent tell my wife and I
we were frustrated by it, and her kids were older.
(02:24):
And her name is Melissa Schnitzer. She's a great Republican
activist and and her family, her husband and his family
are are big builders of Houston's history. They built Greenway
Plaza and she told us one time we were talking
about the fact. We said, Melissa, we pick up our
kids from school and we're so excited to see them.
(02:47):
We've taken time out of our day in this, you know,
the stress and the seriousness of of the of you know,
your work day, and you pick up the kid and
you're ready for this just wonderful after school moment, and
you know, how is you? They fine? What'd you do? Nothing?
And she said, you guys have to realize and she said,
it is such a mommy would say it. Those little
(03:09):
babies are tired. There were out. It's all they can
do to keep it together. They didn't poop their pants,
they didn't pee their pants. That they managed to go
out at recess and be so sweaty and come back
inside and you know, their their legs are bouncing around,
their hands are bouncing around. The teacher tells them, you know,
calm them down. They're trying to put them on, you know,
(03:31):
some drug that suppress their natural image. There's natural urges
to be little boys. They're they're stressed out of their
minds and they're tired. They keep it all together all
day and when they get in the car with you.
So anyway, we would drop the kids off in the morning,
which was the real joy. And there was a there
was a principal who would say, as he was out
(03:53):
front as we were letting them out. Uh, sorry, when
we pick them up in the evening. No, no, it
wasn't morning. It wasn't the morning. As they would get
out and say hello to him, and then they would,
you know, trundle off to the classroom, and he would say,
make it a great day. And I always thought that
was interesting. Instead of have a good day, which is
(04:14):
a very passive verb, pass a good day, have a
good day, Let there be a good day descend upon you,
it was make it a great day. What I love
about the term make America great again. What I love
about that term is it is a transitive verb. It's
(04:37):
an active verb. It's a verb that requires you to
take actions make this happen. We're not letting it happen.
America will not be great again because we sat back
and didn't get in the way. America will only be
(04:59):
great again over the wishes of people on our own
soil who wish to stop that from happening because that
happening hurts them, because they're race baters. Black Lives Matter
does not want America to be a nation that where
(05:21):
blacks and whites get along perfectly harmoniously because nobody contributes
to Black Lives Matter, Nobody. They don't have the foot
soldiers to show up in the streets angry at the
world blaming all their problems on whitey. They don't have
all that if we don't have discord. So they sew it.
(05:41):
That's what they do. They're kind of the arsonist who
has a fire suppression company. Yeah, they get paid coming
and going. They want there to be a problem, then
they get to solve it. I read a piece this week.
I'll read it out at link next week. I just
have an chance to get to it. There's so much happening,
(06:02):
and it was about this discovery as these documents are
coming out of the problems that the FBI causes and
then claims to swoop in and solve, but actually they
cause it. And I think there are going to be
a lot of revelations that way. But back to the point,
making America great again, making America healthy again. I really
(06:27):
want to focus on this. I want to focus on this.
I want you to hang with me for just a moment,
and I want to focus on this because I've come
to the conclusion that we've reached a point. We did
our part to get Trump elected. Now, I notice a
lot of people are just kind of sitting back and
watching from the sidelines, and let's watch Trump go. No,
(06:47):
we've got to get down on the field. This is
self governance. This this only works if we're involved. And
now it's time for us to re engage in our
own personal lives and to talk about that coming up.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Or take me to Texas because he gets out of
this state.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
I think Michael Barry robs Michael Very Show.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
I like you.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Let's talk about what he means to make America read again. Well,
let's start today. Why put off till tomorrow what you
could do today. I think of all the platitudes my
mother would say to me, and how much they make
sense to me now. So, for instance, the core of
a healthy civilization is a healthy family. The core of
a healthy family is a healthy marriage. You think about
(07:32):
how little of our society publicly celebrates marriage, happy, fruitful marriages.
When I hear some guy refer to his wife as
a ball and chain, or my old lady or whatever else,
I refer to my wife as my bride. And that
is my reminder to myself and to her that when
(07:55):
she was young and had the world according she chose
me and I chose her, and that commitment is everlasting.
A woman needs to know that because guess what you
might think to yourself, Well, she's not as skinny as
she was, she's not as pretty as she was. She's
not as well are you Because by the way, she
(08:16):
didn't go bald you did. She didn't get a big
old belly you did. We have to remember that inside
every woman. And I remember this, my girl. My wife
has never well it's not true, but she's almost never
cried in the thirty five years I've known her. She
runs marathons. She's physically tough, little bit thing, but physically tough,
(08:37):
she is stern, She's run five marathons. She's physically a
tough person. She's mentally a tough person. She's emotionally a
very tough person, steely like her dad. But I have
to remember, deep down, underneath all of that is a
little girl who at one point wanted her prince charming,
and your wife at one point wanted her prince charming.
(08:59):
And she said on you. And it's our job to
remind them that we know they's still a beautiful woman
inside there. And that's how we treat them and not
just physically, their spirit. They can be in a wheelchair,
they can be crippled, they can be on a walker.
There is in that person a vessel of beauty. It's
Valentine's Day. So, oh, shoot, Michael, why'd you remind me? Dad?
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Gum it?
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Yeah? So okay, So it may be hard to get
a reservation. Now, why don't you call her on the
way home say hey, you know what? Shame on me?
Oh what'd you do? No shame on me. I am
coming to you on bended knee. I just heard Michael
Berry talking about Valentine's Day, and I'll be honest with you.
I'm just I'm going to confess. I'm ashamed of myself
(09:45):
for saying this. I have been so busy at the office.
I've been so busy at school. I've been so busy
at work. We have been so busy getting these budgets together,
so busy putting together that's proposal, so busy doing whatever
it is we're doing, so busy with treating my medical problems,
going to the doc. Then I just forgot about us.
And you know what that's wrong? And I'd like to
fix that. Y Oh, you don't have to do that. No, no, no,
(10:06):
I insist, I insist. I said, we don't have to
get dressed up. But I want to go somewhere, and
I want to hold your hand when we get out
of the truck. I want to hold your hand on
the way in. And I want to remind you of
what I fell in love with you over I want
you to I want to remind you because I probably
hadn't told you a long time. Do you remember that
time when I asked you to go here over so
and so and you didn't go. I was so bummed out.
(10:27):
And you remember that time I asked that girl to
ask you if if you like me? And you remember
that time that I yeah, yeah, that's because you drove
me absolutely crazy with lust or love or romance or
whatever else, and I thought I would do that. We
have to do these things as a society because husbands
and wives have to love each other. That's way more
(10:48):
than the sexual. But the sexual is still important. The
sexual is still important, but it's so much more than that.
And it troubles me, and it worries me that we
don't spend enough time making America great again, making America's
families great again, I'm not going to judge anybody for
divorce because I've been lucky. My girl's great, and I've
had friends who married a girl and she seemed like
(11:09):
she was normal and wonderful, and of course she was
pretty and turned out lurking deep beneath there was a
daddy issues having crazy nutjob who just want to fight
all the time, be jealous all the time, be mad
all the time, be selfish all the time. It can happen.
And by the way, there's some guys who get lazy
in their own relationship and they become a bad person.
(11:31):
So I'm not going to be down on somebody for divorce.
But we need to focus on this issue. We need
to really put effort into this issue. And why do
not I start today. It doesn't have to be the
fanciest restaurant. You don't even have to get dressed. She
didn't have time to get her y'all weren't going to
do anything because the kids are all gone, or you know,
or maybe the kids are in high school and she's
(11:52):
got to get them all dressed.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Up and all.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Just take her somewhere. It's about the conversation. You blow
her mind and you'll be surprised. From now she'll say,
you know, that really meant a lot to me that
if we had that conversation, I had forgotten all that.
It's never too late to start. If you don't have
plans in place, it's never too late to start. Stop
at the grocery store and get her a rose. I
mean something that says, you know what, shame on me.
(12:17):
Our relationship matters. It's important to this family. It's important
to me. I know it's important to you. Man, Why
wouldn't you You know, I don't understand how people are mean.
I know people that are meaner to their spouse than
anyone in the world. They can be nice to everybody
at the office, everybody, but they're mean to their spouse. Why.
I think that's a reflection of their own frustrations and
(12:37):
their own insecurities and their own failures. That's the one
person you ought to want to make happy more than
anything else. And ladies, it doesn't make you less of
a woman, less independent, less modern woman to be absolutely
as sweet as you can be to your husband, to
bring him a beer, to bring him a plate. He
should be providing for you and you should be providing
for him. As we do in our roles. That's happiness.
(12:59):
That's that's joy right there. Oh it's time. Sorry, Ramon
has reminded me. Is that time in the program courtesy
of the greatest executive producer in all the land. And
my message do focus is make America great again, make
your marriages great again, make your families great again. Greatest
executive producer in all the land, CHATTICONI nagadishi your weekend. Hey, Texas,
(13:24):
Matt is facing new charges for his creative attempt to
hunt on private property. Dear blind made out of a
porta potter.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
You know when you're out there in those dear stands,
you know you.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
Do have to go part of it.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
I'm the guy.
Speaker 1 (13:36):
When I get out there, I got a fee k
Pete cape might they'll smell us. I have too bad.
I really got paid.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
Immigration enforcement now increases. The Honduran consulate in Houston.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
Has been busy.
Speaker 2 (13:49):
Houstonce hon During consol General says more families are choosing
to return home voluntarily.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
You can't deport us all don't have to. A lot
of you will leave on your own once you understand
there's no future here if you're illegal. A lot of
you will up and leave on your own. How's that
you can't deport us?
Speaker 3 (14:05):
All?
Speaker 1 (14:05):
Say on now, a Houston dentis is caught with more
than one hundred canisters of laughing gas in his car.
Ye if you say he was caught puffing and driving
and drivers a staggering amount of nitrous oxide or laughing gas,
get one hundred and seven of these canisters inside, hi feel?
I mean, think about this, officer. Well, I'm gonna need
(14:26):
some backup over here. I have somewhere between ninety and
one hundred and thirty lap gas canisters. I don't need
to count up. I mean, we'll take your word for it.
That had to take a while. And you know what,
I've at the buzz? Where's all? Valentine's Day? A day
of love right in the middle of Black History months.
Stupid hallmark holiday anyway, I don't view Valentine's Day as
(14:48):
a hallmark holiday. I think there is an important role
in our society that gets insufficient attention, which celebrates the
love between a man and a woman who are in
a committed relationship. We have all the promotion in the world.
Or isn't she hot? Fellas and she's not your girl?
We have all the promotion in the world for seemingly
everything but the bond between a husband and wife. I
(15:11):
think it's important for men and women to love each other.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
Listening to the Michael Berry Show podcast, is sexy be Sexy.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
One of the most important things President Trump has done
as president, and there are so many, so many that
it's easy to forget it, but one of the most
important was done on the very first day, and that
was a pardon of almost every person at the Capitol
on January sixth, and a commutation of sentences for I
(15:45):
think fourteen people, one of whom Stuart Rose, the founder
of Both Keepers, who we had on the air, but
it was fourteen fifteen hundred folks who were terroristed as
political prisoners so that the left could try to defeat
Trump in twenty twenty four. Because you have to understand
the deep state, and the government understands better than anyone else,
(16:08):
better perhaps than some of you realize, and you're part
of it. They recognize that America wants change, America wants
to be great again. America wants illegals deported, America wants
Dosee to take effect. America wants Trump to lead the
country and talk to putin and release our hostages and
in the wars and in the waste. The deep state
(16:31):
knows that, but they're going to fight with everything they
have to stop it. And arresting people wrongfully in these
show arrests that were overly violent in these show trials,
Terrorizing people, tormenting people, torturing people was wrong, and we're
not going to let those stories go untold. My friend
(16:54):
Nick Cercy, a very famous actor and a wonderful actor
and a great human being, a great patriot, has been documenting.
He was there on January sixth. He's been documenting these stories.
He'd made a movie or two about it. And he's
been sharing with me some folks whose lives were turned
upside down by the JA six political prosecutions. And one
(17:19):
of them he sent me is Victoria White, and she's
our guest. Victoria, you said, I need to clock out
for a minute from work so that I can talk
to you.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
What do you do now, Well, I work in the
automotive industry. I won't specifically say where, because there's always
the chance that people who don't like Trump find out
where you.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
Work and do everything to try to get you fired.
Speaker 1 (17:48):
I get it, well, let's start at the beginning. Why
were you at the Capitol on January sixth, twenty twenty one.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
I had one just to hear Trump speak, and also
I felt that my presence being there.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
Would show that I voted in you know, I just
I didn't.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
I didn't think anything else.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
I just wanted to see my president and hear him
speak and say I voted for him.
Speaker 1 (18:20):
Were you there alone?
Speaker 2 (18:23):
No. I went with my oldest daughter, who at the
time was like seventeen, and three of our friends.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
And why don't you just take a few minutes, maybe
five minutes, and tell us what happened and how you
ended up in the Capitol and lay those details off
out and I'm literally gonna turn off my mic and
just listen.
Speaker 2 (18:45):
Okay. Well, when we got there, it was early in
the morning, and we were we heard that we could
get into VIP. We'd have to go through security, just
like any Trump probably, So we did not bring backpacks,
we didn't bring purses, and we dressed, you know, our best,
(19:05):
even though it was cold. My friend wore some very
large heels. Anyway, we got right behind VIP, so we
had to go through security. That was the Ellipse's speech
was great, except for.
Speaker 3 (19:20):
It was cold. Other than that it was.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
It was it was so amazing because people in the
VIP were looking back at the crowd that I mean,
there had to be over a million people.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
It was just coming out of like COVID, and you know.
Speaker 2 (19:38):
There was still restrictions in place.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
But this felt great.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
It felt different.
Speaker 2 (19:43):
You felt like you were free again, and you were
around people who.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Loved their country.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
The same way that you know I did and do.
And so that part was great. And then after Trump's
speech and he said to what down and let our
patriotically peacefully let our voices be heard, we were some
of the last people to leave that area.
Speaker 3 (20:07):
And that's important because.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
By the time I ended up, a friend of mine
and myself we separated from our group and ran ahead
because people had ran back saying something was going on.
We don't know what we you know, could have been good,
it could have been Trump was there. Anyway, we ran
ahead because my friend in the heels was really slow.
(20:33):
And mind you, by the time we got there it
must have been about three There was just massive people everywhere.
There were no signs, no gates, there were no police
saying don't go this way, you know that you can't
be on the property. And mind you, the whole way
to the capital, there were police on the side streets,
(20:56):
blocking off the side streets, so you wouldn't think something
that was going on or that that we weren't supposed
to be there at all. The closer you get, the
tighter GM packs like people become.
Speaker 4 (21:12):
And uh, we decided to go up the.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
In clothes but outside staircase to go to the next
level to like look at people or whatever.
Speaker 4 (21:25):
I'm telling you, kind of the fast version of the story. Okay, Anyway,
her and I get separated, and I'm at the time,
I didn't.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Know where I was, like, you know, this is the
area where the president comes out and is inaugurated, you know,
like takes the oaths and whatnot.
Speaker 3 (21:47):
But there is just a bunch of people all over.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
And then I hear Antifa and Tifa and I see too,
I see this guy with like.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
A helmet on.
Speaker 2 (21:54):
Mind you, we had like riots, you know, the BLM stuff,
and he looks like one of those guys dressed like that,
and he was a little guy.
Speaker 4 (22:03):
I just ran.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
I didn't think twice.
Speaker 4 (22:05):
I ran and I tried to.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
Pull him down and I got him and I pushed
him down, and.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
I'm like, we don't do that, we don't do that.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
He was trying to break out the Capitol window. As
I'm like arguing with people in the crowd because they're like,
we're all on the same team. I'm like, no, no,
we're not. And then this guy comes up behind me,
a different guy, and pulls a weapon, the same exact
type of weapon. And the other guy had had out
of his backpack and attempts to break the window again.
(22:36):
And I go to grab him, but this time a
group of like three or four men pull me back
and away from him, but I've managed to get one
hand free. I grab his backpack and he and him down.
But after that, like I realized, like I got scared
because they're saying like throw me in the window and whatnot.
I turned my attention toward this other area.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
Is what we're going to get to them beating you?
Is is this on film?
Speaker 2 (23:08):
Is there? Oh? Yes, everything is on film everyday. It's
all on film.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
And you you presented this in your defense.
Speaker 2 (23:15):
Presumably I wish see a lot of people may not know.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
This is that they can decide the judge the.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Prosecute anyone can.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
They can decide what gets presented is eminence.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
And I went.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
Through quite a handful of attorneys and a lot of
times it's just it's a sham.
Speaker 3 (23:36):
It's a scam.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
No one's there, Victoria for just a moment. Victoria. Victoria
White's life just turned upside down on January sixth because
of the FBI in the United States government. And we'll
finish her story in the next segment.
Speaker 4 (23:49):
Coming Listen to the Michael Berry Show podcast and you'll
be the smartest guy in the room.
Speaker 1 (23:55):
Share with your friends and you'll be the most popular too.
Victoria White is our guest or. She was there in
January sixth with her daughter at the Capitol to show
her support for President Trump. What would happen then, and
I'm going to move you on in the story. Let's
talk about being maced and beaten by police. Why they
(24:16):
targeted you and what they did and bring us up
to the president. Go ahead.
Speaker 2 (24:22):
Why they targeted me?
Speaker 3 (24:23):
I don't know that day the I'm I don't know.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
But talk about what they did to you, the macing,
the beating, baton strikes and all of that.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
That's always a difficult thing to discuss, but basically, yeah, no,
they mace like they call oc spray. There's I guess
two differ and types of.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Mace.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
And an officer zeroed in on me, a lieutenant.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
He had a white shirt. Mind you, this is all.
Speaker 4 (25:09):
Caught on video. A big like six foot I don't know,
huge man.
Speaker 2 (25:17):
Uh started bashing my head with a collapsible metal police baton.
One attorney counted the strikes at thirty four and as
well as he used his fist and punched my head,
and other officers joined in, and they were jabbing me
(25:42):
with their batons and punching me and pulling my hair
back and forth and bashed my head in the metal
a metal I mean a cement ledge, and they ended up.
My shoes fell off, my hat came off.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Mind you.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
The whole time, I'm not fighting back. My body's turned
the opposite direction as to the way out, and I
was doing good just to not fall and get trampled
in this tight space. And there's this loud, blaring, screeching
(26:25):
found like, uh, it's just it was.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
It was.
Speaker 4 (26:29):
I call it the tunnel of hell. It was hell.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
It's a miracle.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
I'm alive.
Speaker 3 (26:33):
They tried to murder me is what they really did.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
But most of the people don't even know that that
even happened. I doubt even President Trump knows. And they
ended up in palming me, like pushing me between each
other the police as I'm being maced, and mind you,
they have riot gear on and they and the crowd
(26:58):
from outside is pushing in and they're just I don't
even it was held.
Speaker 4 (27:04):
They end up taking me into.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
The capital.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
And just tie my hands by my back.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
They don't say I'm under arrest.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
They don't say him I did anything wrong. And they
basically prayed me and a handful of other people from
different areas of the capital, up and down the capital
till they finally take us out.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
And take us a police station.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
They don't do normal booking.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
They don't take your fingerprints, they don't take your mugshot.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
They just asked you some questions.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
It was just really weird.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
They ended up letting me go that night and then
again never said I was under arrest. They let me
out with no shoes. It was it was freezing, you know,
it was crazy, and I knew they were going to
come for me. I really did. I knew, and I
knew they would try to spin it.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
Let's get exactly what they did. They arrested you over
year later, on April eighth, twenty twenty one, charged you.
It was six counts and they put you on pre
trial probation, which is better than some people got. Some
people got thrown in jail and kept there. What did
they charge you with?
Speaker 2 (28:17):
Oh, I don't remember all the charges.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
I know one of them was.
Speaker 2 (28:24):
That en run or whatever thing that they charged a
lot of j Anyuary six ers with, which is like
that alone is like twenty years, and it had it was.
They spun that charge to try to make it fit
our cases.
Speaker 4 (28:39):
But it didn't.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
But that when they dropped for me, I ended up
with just indicted on four charges.
Speaker 1 (28:51):
And you fought it for three years, and you said
it took its toll on you, and you ended up
taking a plea deal. You got orphans, scutive weekends in custody,
you got ninety days of home arrest, You paid two
thousand dollars in restitution supposedly for damage to the capital,
which you yourself had stopped, and you were put on
(29:11):
federal probation for two years, which was to have ended
next January. How did you find out on inauguration day
that the first thing President Trump did is end that
nightmare with his presidential partner. How did you find that out?
Speaker 4 (29:29):
I watched live.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
I was so happy.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
Yeah, I watched live.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
And then who contacted you? Did someone begin the process too?
I mean, obviously some people needed to be let out
of prison, that's more immediate, But did you did anyone
reach out to you and say, all right, here's your
paperwork and let's get this thing done.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
I was in I was in confusion with my attorney.
Who had you know, I had the very family, because
it's really everything was Yeah. And then a few like
a day or so later.
Speaker 2 (30:09):
My probation officer had contacted me and said that, you
know that her boss has told her to go ahead.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
And process me, to be done with probation, and yeah, yeah,
it's the.
Speaker 1 (30:29):
Real I can't imagine the horror you've been put through,
the fact that our own government did this to you,
the fact that the reasons for it are so obvious
now and have been declared, and yet so many people
who you don't know or and didn't know your name,
(30:51):
are out here rooting for people like you. And I
think this drove a lot of the political activism to
get Trump back in office, to show these people that
we will not let them win. And I hope you
never stop telling your story, Victoria White. I know it's
not easy. I know that there is pain. Warriors who've
(31:13):
been in battle will talk about it. It's difficult to
discuss what happened victims of rape, victims of severe violence,
which you were. It triggers emotions, It triggers things, It
takes someone back to a moment. But I hope you
never stop telling your story because we can never We
should never forget what happened to good people like you
(31:35):
at the US capital and in our government with our
tax dollars. We should never ever forget this because it
could happen again, and that's a horrifying goal. Thank you
for being our guest, Betune. Thank you for having me
pray for people like this. Be grateful that there, but
(31:56):
for the grace of God, you you could have been
if you've been at a Trump well, you can have
been at that one. You could have been wandering through
the Capitol. Things could have taken a turn because some
FBI informant or agent FBI plant started getting four or
five people together and started trying to bash out windows,
(32:16):
and you try to stop it. Before you know it,
your head's being budget. It happened, and it could happen again,
and it's our job, our job as patriots, to prevent
that from ever occurring.
