Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's that time, time, time, time, Luck and load from
Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
In the name of our God, I ask you.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
To have mercy upon the people in our country and
we're scared now.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
A precious twelve year old girl from Houston who last
month was tied up, assaulted, and strangled to death after
walking to the convenience Sois a block away from her house.
Her body was dumped near the side of the road
in a shallow creek, found by some onlookers who couldn't
believe what they had witnessed. Charged with Joscelyn's heinous murder
(00:49):
or two illegal aliens from Venezuela who came across our
border were in custody and were then released into the
country by this horrible, horrible administration that we have right now, and.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Asked you to have mercens to President on those in
our communities whose children fear that their parents will be
taken away.
Speaker 5 (01:07):
Is there a way to carry out mass deportation without
separating families go home?
Speaker 6 (01:12):
Of course, families can be deported together.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
May God grant us the strength and courage to honor
the dignity of every human being.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
I also met recently with the heartbroken mother and sister,
Rachel Maron. Rachel was a thirty seven year old mom
of five beautiful children who was brutally raped and murdered
while out on her run. She wanted to keep herself
in good shape. It was very important or she was murdered.
The monster responsible first killed another woman in El Salvador
(01:44):
before he was let into America by the White House's
White House, let them in speak.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
The truth to one another, in love.
Speaker 6 (01:53):
And welcomely with each other and our God.
Speaker 7 (01:56):
To the mayors of the illegal amies that Joe Bien's
released in our country violation of federal law, you better
start packing now because you're going home.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
New York Mayor Eric Adams, who's on CNN. His answer
to the question as to whether or not the New
York Police Department would cooperate with ICE was quite dissimilar
to that of Karen Bass, the mayor of Los Angeles.
(02:27):
New York's Mayor Eric Adams answer should be the answer
that every mayor in America provides when asked, will your
police department, tasked with protecting the people and property of
your community assist the federal agents who are enforcing federal law?
Speaker 6 (02:54):
In your community.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
In other words, will they uphold the they took before
accepting the badge and the gun?
Speaker 8 (03:05):
Amara, I want to ask you about the city Council
pushing for an investigation into whether the NYPD has shared
sealed records with ICE what could be a violation of
local law. Can you confirm whether the NYPD or any
other local agency is collaborating with federal immigration enforcement.
Speaker 9 (03:25):
We made it clear over and over again that we
will not collaborate with any agencies when it comes to
civil enforcement.
Speaker 6 (03:35):
The law does not allow us to do that.
Speaker 9 (03:37):
But we will collaborate when it comes down to criminal enforcement.
And it's unfortunate that the City Council chooses to use
their power to find out if there's any collaboration instead
of really advocating for going after those who commit serious
crimes acts of vironence not only on New York kiers,
(03:58):
but also on Microsoft asylum see forcing women into prostitution,
selling drugs, shooting at police officers, assaulting individuals. Our focus
should be on protecting innocent New Yorkers. We're not collaborating
with anyone when it comes down to civil enforcement. But
I said this before and them said again. ICE is
(04:18):
not a criminal organization. It's a federal law enforcement organization
like our other federal partners, and we would use them
to protect innocent people in this city.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
Does he sound like Tracy Morgan or what from Saturday
out loud sounds just like him?
Speaker 6 (04:37):
Well, I will tell you, I think Ice is doing
great work.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
And I pray for those men and women every day
because it's a dangerous job. It's a tough job, and
there's going to be violence against them, you know it.
But I do worry that maybe they've gone too far.
In one case, The Daily Soak News reports that they
have arrested speeding against allus.
Speaker 10 (04:59):
It was just for reported that famous celebrity cartoon actor
Speedy Gonzalez was arrested early this morning by US immigration
officers after they reportedly received a tip by an anonymous informant.
Speedy Gonzalez, a Mexican national, was apprehended as he exited
a cheese factory in El Paso that has a long
(05:19):
history of hiring undocumented workers. The mouse's temporary work visa
had apparently expired, causing him to seek work outside the
entertainment industry in an effort to support an.
Speaker 6 (05:30):
Alleged cheese habit.
Speaker 10 (05:32):
According to the report, Gonzales was seen trying to elude
the Ice officer's trap by running extremely fast while yelling
in broken English. Speedy didn't make it very far, though,
thanks in part to ICE's newly formed mouse Unit, which
uses highly trained cats to seek out and capture illegal
alien mice. American television personality Doctor Phil was at the
(05:56):
scene while Speedy Gonzalez was being arrested. Here's a brief
video of the tense interaction between the two celebrities.
Speaker 11 (06:04):
What's your namefid Gozalez from Mexico? Senorricalo?
Speaker 6 (06:09):
Where you're born? Inside me?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Madre?
Speaker 6 (06:11):
Signor?
Speaker 11 (06:12):
Where you been charged with with being the fastest mouse
in all of Mexico? Senor are you a citizen jie
senor the citizen of Earth.
Speaker 6 (06:21):
You've never been deported before before?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
What signor? Doctor Phil?
Speaker 11 (06:25):
How do you know me?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
We love Doctor Phil in Mexico. So can I go now?
Speaker 6 (06:29):
Not really? Please, sir? Have you been charged with sex
crimes with children?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
No, Senora, I thought that Jess was agent.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
I take process and knock them up.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Oh.
Speaker 10 (06:39):
Also arrested with Speedy was his cousin, Slowpoke Rodriguez, better
known as the slowest mouse in all Mexico, with both
mice expected to remain in ice custody pending their removal proceedings.
Due to Speedy's high profile arrest, much speculation has been
swirling in news media outlets as to the identity of
the individual who's tip led authorities to the apprehension of
(07:02):
the yellow sombrero wearing rodent. The anonymous individual who called
immigration on Speedy Gonzales was later identified as none other
than Hollywood actor Sylvester the Cat, who has a long
tumultuous history of playing Speedy's regular nemesis both on and
off screen. It looks like Sylvester the Cat got the
last laugh in his longtime cat and mouse feud with
(07:23):
Speedy Gonzales.
Speaker 6 (07:25):
Oh well, padios, amigo.
Speaker 12 (07:27):
The Michael Berry Show, Michael Berry Show, Tomorrow's show, as
we always do the Friday prior to Father's Day, we'll
focus on, not exclusively, but largely on Father's.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
I believe it's a very, very, very important part of
our nation because it's the bedrock of the family, the
mother and the father. You know, It's incredible to me
the extent to which we can become distracted from what
(08:09):
matters most by the things that matter least, the bright,
shiny objects that occupy our time. My father's eighty five,
and so I'm in a weird place in my life.
A lot of things have happened to kind of a
lot of tumult. As Rush used to say, I loved
that he would use the word tumult. A lot of
(08:31):
tumult in my life. My oldest son has just finished
his first year at the University of Texas as a
college freshman. He'll be a sophomore, and he'll be graduating
before you know it, And so he doesn't live at home.
He lives in Austin. My youngest son will be a senior.
I guess they call it a rising senior now. So
he is about to begin his senior year of high school.
(08:52):
And then he too will be gone, and so we'll
be empty nesters. And I had some friends, I've had
a number of friends say this, but a friend recently,
You know, you find out a lot about your marriage
when your last home, your last child leaves home. And
I've watched a number you've all seen this. I've seen
couples where the day after their kid graduates and moves away,
(09:14):
they divorce and go their separate ways, and you wonder,
you know, for how long did they stay together for
the sake of the kids. And people always say that's
very sad, and I say, no, that's very heroic. It's
very heroic. If you can stay together, and you do
(09:35):
stay together, every statistical bit of data will tell you
that your children almost always end up better off. Now
the response to that will be, not if they're fighting
like cats and dogs. True, but the really noble thing
is to keep it together for the kids. When it's
(09:56):
not a question of whether you're in love anymore. Because
the concept of love has been confused with the concept
of lust, there's this concept now called love bombing. And
you see these guys. They've made some money. They're forty
years old and making good money. They're single, and they
fall in love. With falling in love, they like to start.
Speaker 6 (10:16):
Dating you girlia.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
They date a girl. In the next day, you know,
she shows up at work and you know there's chocolates piled.
Rush used to do that. There's a great story about
Rush doing that that he loved bombed a girl he
was dating years ago and had a florist deliver a
truck full of roses. A van full of roses, box
(10:40):
truck full of roses, and I believe she rejected it.
A friend of his has told me that, And it's
just I love that story because it's a side of
Rush you don't expect to see.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
Right. We know Rush is a tough guy, but like
everybody else, he had a different side.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
But anyway, I think that a father being involved in
the home with the children.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
From the earliest of times.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
The provider, the protector, those are very important roles, and
even in a postmodern society, perhaps even more so in
a postmodern society, young men need to learn how to
grow into men, and when they don't, you see the results.
(11:28):
In a lot of black inner city homes. You see
a young man without a mother and this sort of
Madonna concept of his mother or his grandmother if she's
raising him, Hi mom on TV. When he scores a touchdown,
but he's a thug in his personal life.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
That's the lack of a father.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
You know. I read a report a few years ago
that a young black man without a father, the stats
are off the chart that they're going to end up
in prison, dead, all these you know, different horrible things,
and it is also far more likely for a young
white child who doesn't have a father, it's not as
(12:06):
high as in the black community, but it is exponentially
higher than it is a white kid that has a
father and a mother.
Speaker 6 (12:17):
But when you put the.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
Father back in the home for a black child, those
children mirror white children. Where there is a mother and
a father. It's not a race problem, it's a father problem.
And so what we witness as being called systemic racism
is simply the result of fatherless homes, and it's no
(12:41):
longer relegated to just inner city blacks.
Speaker 6 (12:44):
It has now it's not to the same extent.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
It is now the case in Hispanic families and in
white families as well, where the father is not involved,
because we have stopped making fatherhood a noble, commendable thing
and it should be. Coaching Little League's been one of
the greatest experiences of my life because I got to
(13:09):
have a relationship with my kids in a way, in
a different way than just being dad, a fun way,
a guiding way, a coaching way, a teaching way, and
I got to teach other people's kids. And there were
kids on our team that didn't have a father, and so, yeah,
you pick those kids up for practice. You drop those
kids off because you want them.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
To be a part of this experience. Anyway, if you have.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
A fatherhood experience, call us when the show's over seven
one three nine nine nine one thousand. If you want
to brag on your dad, and you can leave a
voicemail or you can send me an email through the
website today so I'll have it tomorrow at Michael Berryshow.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
Dot com, Michael Berry Show, Michael Barry Show.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
My first concert was a petruck concert. We were very
strict Southern Baptist family and we didn't go to concerts.
Consorts were where bad things happen. I still believe that
to be true. By the way, concerts were largely where
bad things happen, especially when youth were involved. There's a
(14:09):
Netflix special on right now called train Wreck, and train
Wreck is part of a series they're doing. They commissioned
these films and this is the second in the series there.
It's kind of like Untold, which is a Seriesness for
thirty for thirty ESPN commission. Train Wreck second episode, which
just dropped two days ago, is about what happened at Astraworld.
(14:32):
Astra World was the amusement park that we grew up
going to It was two hours away. It was a perfect,
perfect vacation from my parents had all these kids, load
them up in the station wagon and we had a
van before that, an orange and yellow van, I kid
you not, and they would drive to Houston, two hours away.
We'd go to see an Astros game. Well, what we'd
(14:54):
do is we'd get up early Saturday morning so we
didn't have to get a room the night before. We
get up early Saturday morning, real early. We'd just get
up and bring our towel. I'm in our blanket and
pillow and fall asleep in the back of the van,
and we'd drive to Houston.
Speaker 6 (15:14):
We'd go to Astra World all day.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
We'd come back and shower and be so tired you
couldn't see straight. But your kids, you don't care, and
you're full of sticky sugar. So you got old the
false energy in the world. I've seen Ramone's kids when
they got that. They got that energy where you can
tell if they just as my grandmother say, did you
just get somewhere in light? If they would stop for
just a moment, they fall asleep. Anyway, So we'd go
(15:38):
to the Astros game that night, and then we'd steal
all the holiday in towels. We'd swim in the holiday
in little cocktail pool they had, and then the next
morning we get up and go home, and if nothing else,
we had replenished our towel supply. So I thought one
of the best PR moves was a few years ago
the holiday inn and now that they were giving.
Speaker 6 (16:02):
Amnesty for anyone who would bring back their towel. I mean,
what you're trying to do is be talked about. What
you're trying to do is be relevant.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
And people don't realize when you're talking about a celebrity
and movie star, a politician, a artist, actor, when you're
talking about them and something that they have done that's
put them in the news. I don't mean a drunk
driving accident or you know, shooting somebody, but when they've
done something that's put them in the news, you realize
(16:32):
that when you talk about them, you're doing them a
favor because what they're doing is trying to reinject themselves
into relevancy, to be talked about again. Because the worst
thing that can happen for a famous person, the most
career ending thing, is to become irrelevant to no longer
be talked about. That is the absolute worst thing that
(16:53):
can happen. Apropos, absolutely nothing.
Speaker 6 (17:00):
Is well.
Speaker 5 (17:01):
Kind of something I came across a video. What you're
going to see this weekend is you're gonna see a
a lot of groups that are all funded by the
same usaid by the same Soros. Groups that are designed,
(17:21):
groups that are funded and supported and organized for the
sole purpose of bringing chaos and disorder to the United States,
to our social system, tearing families apart, tearing the country apart,
dividing us.
Speaker 6 (17:35):
The British had a policy.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
In India before unifying India. They would they it was
called divide and conquer. And so what they would do
is they would pitt one Muslim leader of one state
against a Hindu leader of another state, and they would
get them fighting. And as long as they were fighting,
they couldn't fight the English, the British who wanted to
(18:01):
plunder the resources. You know, we really did that United States,
CIA does that too. We did that with Iran and Iraq.
The decade of the eighties saw Iraq and Iran in
the nastiest fighting that went on anywhere in the world
during that time. Chemical warfare was used. It was absolutely
(18:22):
brutal decimated those two countries. I mean absolutely, A generation
was lost. It was brutal, brutal fighting. It was pitched
or promoted as Shia versus Sunni, but what it really
was was was our attempt, the US Israeli attempt to
(18:47):
keep those countries weak by fighting with each other so
that they couldn't turn the artillery on Israel. That's what
happened throughout the eighties. Now, when out of the eighties,
Saddam Hussein in the early nineties decides he's going to
(19:07):
invade Cutter or Qatar, however you want to pronounce it
and take their oil supply, Well, first, what, oh KUW eight,
you're right, okay, please don't interrupt. You know what, there
were probably eight people listening who knew it was KUW
eight and not Cutter. You are so happy that you
(19:28):
knew that. That's what there reason you said anything. There
might be more than eight people. But anyway, I can't
remember why we did that. Oh, I know, because I
wanted to close this segment with a clip I heard
by a guy who posts under the name America memed
like short for America, like America, and it's how to
trigger a feminist with one question. He walks up to
(19:51):
a woman who claims to be a feminist at an event,
and he pretends it's a man who's transitioned into a woman.
Speaker 6 (19:58):
Because if we're truly supposed to believe.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
That feminists transitioned men into women as women, then you
shouldn't be offended if y'all are the same, you shouldn't
be offended if we think you're one of them.
Speaker 6 (20:09):
Listen, this is hilarious.
Speaker 8 (20:10):
Beautiful trans woman out here, tell us about your transition
how I went.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
No, so I have a question for you. Why are
you asking me those questions we're interviewing like trans women
and stuff like that. I'm not a trans woman. I'm
a Oh no, No, we're support fully supportive.
Speaker 8 (20:24):
Do you want to talk about sort of transitioning or
anything like that, or like what.
Speaker 11 (20:28):
People going to a transition because I was born a woman?
Speaker 6 (20:31):
No, of course you're a woman. Of course does that make.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
A trans woman any less of a woman?
Speaker 6 (20:35):
No, you are one hundred percent. I'm not a trans woman.
Is there another definition that people like to use?
Speaker 11 (20:41):
Or you thought I was a man?
Speaker 6 (20:43):
I guess she's not such a liberal.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
After all, you've got them Michael Berry show.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
The important thing for Democrats is not how many people
are killed in the riots. It's not how bad the
terrorist attacks are, and that's what they are. It's not
about keeping safety, security, the rule of law, and the
protection of innocent people.
Speaker 6 (21:09):
None of that matters.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
It's all about winning the power game, the political appearance
of how this looks. So Nancy Pelosi has been over
the last few days using these Democrat riots to accuse
President Trump of refusing requests for National Guard support at
the Capitol on January sixth.
Speaker 6 (21:33):
You see, it was Trump's fault that.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
The National Guard didn't come in and keep those violent
January sixth protesters from burning down the Capitol and killing
all the cops.
Speaker 6 (21:44):
It was Trump's fault because the violence was so.
Speaker 13 (21:48):
Bad on January sixth, with violence against the Constitution, against
the Congress, and against the United States Capital, we begged
the President of the United States in the National Guard.
He would not do it. Not only would he not
do it when law enforcement people were being harmed let
(22:11):
some later died, he would not send it in when
his an instigation that he an insurrection that he incited,
was causing damage to those assigned to protect the capital
and the constitution that day, to accept the results of
the Intellectual College that day. He didn't do it. He
(22:34):
forgave those people. Now his people want to raise money
for them. And yet, and yet, in the contral constitutional way,
he has sent the National Guard into California.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Something is very wrong with this picture.
Speaker 13 (22:53):
Inconsistent in his actions, contrary to his own statement that
he couldn't a year ago, that he couldn't send anyone
in without the governor's consent any place, and in violation
of the Constitution.
Speaker 5 (23:10):
Let's break down Nancy Pelosi's claim that President Trump never
offered the National Guard.
Speaker 6 (23:15):
On January sixth, twenty.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
Twenty one, according to testimony from Anthony or Nato, former
White House Deputy Chief of Staff, President Trump offered DC
Mayor Muriel Bowser ten thousand National Guard troops ahead of
January sixth to help secure the capital ten thousand. Bowser,
(23:40):
the mayor of Detroit of Detroit, DC, same thing, declined
the offer. She recommend She requested only a few hundred
troops for limited roles like traffic control, not for security.
She didn't want security because remember the plan was the
(24:00):
FBI had planned it out that they were going to
god people, incite people, induce people to try to attack
the capital. Notably, Anthony Ornato's testimony was excluded by the
final report released by the January sixth Committee. Remember Liz Cheney. Well,
(24:22):
they chose not to include all of the testimony because
that testimony wasn't consistent with the narrative.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
They created a narrative which was fiction.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
But the Trump administration didn't stop there after the Mayor
of DC, Muriel Bowser, turned down the full deployment, the
White House asked the Department of Defense to prepare a
quote quick reaction force end quote, just in case the
situation escalated. Once the capital was breached, Trump officials urged
(24:57):
Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller to deploy troops immediately or
not to recalled. Quote I remember the Chief saying, Hey,
I'm calling the Secretary of Defense to get that quick
reaction force in here. And later quote I remember the
Chief telling Miller, get him in here, get him in here.
(25:18):
Secure the Capitol now. So, the Trump White House did
make efforts to provide security before and during the January
sixth protests, and those efforts were downplayed or all together
excluded omitted by the January sixth committee A committee I
(25:41):
will remind you that included Adam kin Singer who left
office because he was going to be booted out of office,
Liz Cheney, who was booted out of office and who
hired I believe was the ABC executive producer to run
those That was all about television coverage, not getting to
the truth. By the way, the White House wasn't the
(26:02):
only one asking for the National Guard. The Capitol Police
chief at the time, Stephen Sund, told Tucker Carlson that
he made not one, two, three, four, five phone calls,
not six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven phone calls asking
for help, and it took seventy one minutes to get
(26:22):
approval from not Donald Trump, It's the Capitol Police.
Speaker 6 (26:26):
Remember from Nancy Pelosi. She slow rolled this.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
The whole goal was to do as much damage as
you could, to make it look as bad as you could.
Here was the then Capitol Police Chief, Stephen Son, talking
to Tucker Crosson, you make this call immediately immediately to
the house.
Speaker 10 (26:47):
Sergeant Arms, who reports, mister Irving, who reports Nancy Pelosi.
Speaker 6 (26:50):
He says, I'll call Pelosi.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
He says, I'm a running up the chain.
Speaker 6 (26:52):
Run up the chain. But that is the chain. I
want to tell you exactly. So what happens then?
Speaker 5 (26:58):
Does he get back to you over the next seventy
one minutes and makes the thirty two calls to tie
a number of agencies eleven of those calls or follow
up calls.
Speaker 6 (27:05):
And look at the Senate Combined Report from two thousand
and one.
Speaker 5 (27:08):
They have a great infographic of the call after call
after call after call eleven times.
Speaker 6 (27:12):
I call the next seven one minutes, going where are
we un the approval? Where are we inn? Approval? Just
any minute now, any minute, getting get any minute?
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Finally had two oh nine, seventy one minutes later, two
oh nine, I'm finally giving approval.
Speaker 5 (27:23):
Do you remember the documentary that Nancy Pelosi's daughter just
happened to be filming on January sixth, Well, there was
footage that leaked showing that Nancy Pelosi took responsibility for
not having the National Guard on hand that day. She
said it was her fault. This footage was not supposed
(27:44):
to leak.
Speaker 6 (27:45):
We have responsibility, Terry.
Speaker 14 (27:47):
We did not have any accountability for what was going
on there, and we should have. This is ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
You're gonna ask me.
Speaker 7 (27:56):
In the middle of the thing where they've already breached
the inaugural stuff, that that should we call the Capitol police,
I mean the National Guard.
Speaker 13 (28:08):
Why weren't the National Guard there to begin with?
Speaker 6 (28:13):
They thought that they had sufficient There was not a
question of falla they have been. They don't know.
Speaker 14 (28:18):
They clearly didn't know, and I take responsibility for not
having them just prepared for.
Speaker 5 (28:24):
Two incidents from his first term have caused President Trump
to send in the National Guard to Los Angeles without
a request from the local officials.
Speaker 6 (28:34):
They weren't going to give the request, and he said,
I'm not going to wait around. They'll blame this on me.
I've got to do my job.
Speaker 5 (28:41):
The first incident from his first term was the George
Floyd riots in Minneapolis. Mogadis Shoe Saint George Floyd died
after an overdose on May twenty fifth. Tampon tim the governor,
didn't bring in the National Guard until after the Mogadishue
Police Department's third precinct was abandoned to rioters burned to
(29:04):
the ground. The second incident was January sixth. This is
why President Trump did not hesitate this time. Trump two
point zero saw the riots in La and said I'm
sending in the National Guard
It's that time, time, time, time, Luck and load from
Michael Verie Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
In the name of our God, I ask you.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
To have mercy upon the people in our country and
we're scared now.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
A precious twelve year old girl from Houston who last
month was tied up, assaulted, and strangled to death after
walking to the convenience Sois a block away from her house.
Her body was dumped near the side of the road
in a shallow creek, found by some onlookers who couldn't
believe what they had witnessed. Charged with Joscelyn's heinous murder
(00:49):
or two illegal aliens from Venezuela who came across our
border were in custody and were then released into the
country by this horrible, horrible administration that we have right now, and.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Asked you to have mercens to President on those in
our communities whose children fear that their parents will be
taken away.
Speaker 5 (01:07):
Is there a way to carry out mass deportation without
separating families go home?
Speaker 6 (01:12):
Of course, families can be deported together.
Speaker 3 (01:16):
May God grant us the strength and courage to honor
the dignity of every human being.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
I also met recently with the heartbroken mother and sister,
Rachel Maron. Rachel was a thirty seven year old mom
of five beautiful children who was brutally raped and murdered
while out on her run. She wanted to keep herself
in good shape. It was very important or she was murdered.
The monster responsible first killed another woman in El Salvador
(01:44):
before he was let into America by the White House's
White House, let them in speak.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
The truth to one another, in love.
Speaker 6 (01:53):
And welcomely with each other and our God.
Speaker 7 (01:56):
To the mayors of the illegal amies that Joe Bien's
released in our country violation of federal law, you better
start packing now because you're going home.
Speaker 5 (02:07):
New York Mayor Eric Adams, who's on CNN. His answer
to the question as to whether or not the New
York Police Department would cooperate with ICE was quite dissimilar
to that of Karen Bass, the mayor of Los Angeles.
(02:27):
New York's Mayor Eric Adams answer should be the answer
that every mayor in America provides when asked, will your
police department, tasked with protecting the people and property of
your community assist the federal agents who are enforcing federal law?
Speaker 6 (02:54):
In your community.
Speaker 5 (02:56):
In other words, will they uphold the they took before
accepting the badge and the gun?
Speaker 8 (03:05):
Amara, I want to ask you about the city Council
pushing for an investigation into whether the NYPD has shared
sealed records with ICE what could be a violation of
local law. Can you confirm whether the NYPD or any
other local agency is collaborating with federal immigration enforcement.
Speaker 9 (03:25):
We made it clear over and over again that we
will not collaborate with any agencies when it comes to
civil enforcement.
Speaker 6 (03:35):
The law does not allow us to do that.
Speaker 9 (03:37):
But we will collaborate when it comes down to criminal enforcement.
And it's unfortunate that the City Council chooses to use
their power to find out if there's any collaboration instead
of really advocating for going after those who commit serious
crimes acts of vironence not only on New York kiers,
(03:58):
but also on Microsoft asylum see forcing women into prostitution,
selling drugs, shooting at police officers, assaulting individuals. Our focus
should be on protecting innocent New Yorkers. We're not collaborating
with anyone when it comes down to civil enforcement. But
I said this before and them said again. ICE is
(04:18):
not a criminal organization. It's a federal law enforcement organization
like our other federal partners, and we would use them
to protect innocent people in this city.
Speaker 5 (04:30):
Does he sound like Tracy Morgan or what from Saturday
out loud sounds just like him?
Speaker 6 (04:37):
Well, I will tell you, I think Ice is doing
great work.
Speaker 5 (04:43):
And I pray for those men and women every day
because it's a dangerous job. It's a tough job, and
there's going to be violence against them, you know it.
But I do worry that maybe they've gone too far.
In one case, The Daily Soak News reports that they
have arrested speeding against allus.
Speaker 10 (04:59):
It was just for reported that famous celebrity cartoon actor
Speedy Gonzalez was arrested early this morning by US immigration
officers after they reportedly received a tip by an anonymous informant.
Speedy Gonzalez, a Mexican national, was apprehended as he exited
a cheese factory in El Paso that has a long
(05:19):
history of hiring undocumented workers. The mouse's temporary work visa
had apparently expired, causing him to seek work outside the
entertainment industry in an effort to support an.
Speaker 6 (05:30):
Alleged cheese habit.
Speaker 10 (05:32):
According to the report, Gonzales was seen trying to elude
the Ice officer's trap by running extremely fast while yelling
in broken English. Speedy didn't make it very far, though,
thanks in part to ICE's newly formed mouse Unit, which
uses highly trained cats to seek out and capture illegal
alien mice. American television personality Doctor Phil was at the
(05:56):
scene while Speedy Gonzalez was being arrested. Here's a brief
video of the tense interaction between the two celebrities.
Speaker 11 (06:04):
What's your namefid Gozalez from Mexico? Senorricalo?
Speaker 6 (06:09):
Where you're born? Inside me?
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Madre?
Speaker 6 (06:11):
Signor?
Speaker 11 (06:12):
Where you been charged with with being the fastest mouse
in all of Mexico? Senor are you a citizen jie
senor the citizen of Earth.
Speaker 6 (06:21):
You've never been deported before before?
Speaker 2 (06:23):
What signor? Doctor Phil?
Speaker 11 (06:25):
How do you know me?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
We love Doctor Phil in Mexico. So can I go now?
Speaker 6 (06:29):
Not really? Please, sir? Have you been charged with sex
crimes with children?
Speaker 2 (06:33):
No, Senora, I thought that Jess was agent.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
I take process and knock them up.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Oh.
Speaker 10 (06:39):
Also arrested with Speedy was his cousin, Slowpoke Rodriguez, better
known as the slowest mouse in all Mexico, with both
mice expected to remain in ice custody pending their removal proceedings.
Due to Speedy's high profile arrest, much speculation has been
swirling in news media outlets as to the identity of
the individual who's tip led authorities to the apprehension of
(07:02):
the yellow sombrero wearing rodent. The anonymous individual who called
immigration on Speedy Gonzales was later identified as none other
than Hollywood actor Sylvester the Cat, who has a long
tumultuous history of playing Speedy's regular nemesis both on and
off screen. It looks like Sylvester the Cat got the
last laugh in his longtime cat and mouse feud with
(07:23):
Speedy Gonzales.
Speaker 6 (07:25):
Oh well, padios, amigo.
Speaker 12 (07:27):
The Michael Berry Show, Michael Berry Show, Tomorrow's show, as
we always do the Friday prior to Father's Day, we'll
focus on, not exclusively, but largely on Father's.
Speaker 5 (07:46):
I believe it's a very, very, very important part of
our nation because it's the bedrock of the family, the
mother and the father. You know, It's incredible to me
the extent to which we can become distracted from what
(08:09):
matters most by the things that matter least, the bright,
shiny objects that occupy our time. My father's eighty five,
and so I'm in a weird place in my life.
A lot of things have happened to kind of a
lot of tumult. As Rush used to say, I loved
that he would use the word tumult. A lot of
(08:31):
tumult in my life. My oldest son has just finished
his first year at the University of Texas as a
college freshman. He'll be a sophomore, and he'll be graduating
before you know it, And so he doesn't live at home.
He lives in Austin. My youngest son will be a senior.
I guess they call it a rising senior now. So
he is about to begin his senior year of high school.
(08:52):
And then he too will be gone, and so we'll
be empty nesters. And I had some friends, I've had
a number of friends say this, but a friend recently,
You know, you find out a lot about your marriage
when your last home, your last child leaves home. And
I've watched a number you've all seen this. I've seen
couples where the day after their kid graduates and moves away,
(09:14):
they divorce and go their separate ways, and you wonder,
you know, for how long did they stay together for
the sake of the kids. And people always say that's
very sad, and I say, no, that's very heroic. It's
very heroic. If you can stay together, and you do
(09:35):
stay together, every statistical bit of data will tell you
that your children almost always end up better off. Now
the response to that will be, not if they're fighting
like cats and dogs. True, but the really noble thing
is to keep it together for the kids. When it's
(09:56):
not a question of whether you're in love anymore. Because
the concept of love has been confused with the concept
of lust, there's this concept now called love bombing. And
you see these guys. They've made some money. They're forty
years old and making good money. They're single, and they
fall in love. With falling in love, they like to start.
Speaker 6 (10:16):
Dating you girlia.
Speaker 5 (10:17):
They date a girl. In the next day, you know,
she shows up at work and you know there's chocolates piled.
Rush used to do that. There's a great story about
Rush doing that that he loved bombed a girl he
was dating years ago and had a florist deliver a
truck full of roses. A van full of roses, box
(10:40):
truck full of roses, and I believe she rejected it.
A friend of his has told me that, And it's
just I love that story because it's a side of
Rush you don't expect to see.
Speaker 6 (10:51):
Right. We know Rush is a tough guy, but like
everybody else, he had a different side.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
But anyway, I think that a father being involved in
the home with the children.
Speaker 6 (11:05):
From the earliest of times.
Speaker 5 (11:07):
The provider, the protector, those are very important roles, and
even in a postmodern society, perhaps even more so in
a postmodern society, young men need to learn how to
grow into men, and when they don't, you see the results.
(11:28):
In a lot of black inner city homes. You see
a young man without a mother and this sort of
Madonna concept of his mother or his grandmother if she's
raising him, Hi mom on TV. When he scores a touchdown,
but he's a thug in his personal life.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
That's the lack of a father.
Speaker 5 (11:44):
You know. I read a report a few years ago
that a young black man without a father, the stats
are off the chart that they're going to end up
in prison, dead, all these you know, different horrible things,
and it is also far more likely for a young
white child who doesn't have a father, it's not as
(12:06):
high as in the black community, but it is exponentially
higher than it is a white kid that has a
father and a mother.
Speaker 6 (12:17):
But when you put the.
Speaker 5 (12:19):
Father back in the home for a black child, those
children mirror white children. Where there is a mother and
a father. It's not a race problem, it's a father problem.
And so what we witness as being called systemic racism
is simply the result of fatherless homes, and it's no
(12:41):
longer relegated to just inner city blacks.
Speaker 6 (12:44):
It has now it's not to the same extent.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
It is now the case in Hispanic families and in
white families as well, where the father is not involved,
because we have stopped making fatherhood a noble, commendable thing
and it should be. Coaching Little League's been one of
the greatest experiences of my life because I got to
(13:09):
have a relationship with my kids in a way, in
a different way than just being dad, a fun way,
a guiding way, a coaching way, a teaching way, and
I got to teach other people's kids. And there were
kids on our team that didn't have a father, and so, yeah,
you pick those kids up for practice. You drop those
kids off because you want them.
Speaker 6 (13:30):
To be a part of this experience. Anyway, if you have.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
A fatherhood experience, call us when the show's over seven
one three nine nine nine one thousand. If you want
to brag on your dad, and you can leave a
voicemail or you can send me an email through the
website today so I'll have it tomorrow at Michael Berryshow.
Speaker 6 (13:44):
Dot com, Michael Berry Show, Michael Barry Show.
Speaker 5 (13:49):
My first concert was a petruck concert. We were very
strict Southern Baptist family and we didn't go to concerts.
Consorts were where bad things happen. I still believe that
to be true. By the way, concerts were largely where
bad things happen, especially when youth were involved. There's a
(14:09):
Netflix special on right now called train Wreck, and train
Wreck is part of a series they're doing. They commissioned
these films and this is the second in the series there.
It's kind of like Untold, which is a Seriesness for
thirty for thirty ESPN commission. Train Wreck second episode, which
just dropped two days ago, is about what happened at Astraworld.
(14:32):
Astra World was the amusement park that we grew up
going to It was two hours away. It was a perfect,
perfect vacation from my parents had all these kids, load
them up in the station wagon and we had a
van before that, an orange and yellow van, I kid
you not, and they would drive to Houston, two hours away.
We'd go to see an Astros game. Well, what we'd
(14:54):
do is we'd get up early Saturday morning so we
didn't have to get a room the night before. We
get up early Saturday morning, real early. We'd just get
up and bring our towel. I'm in our blanket and
pillow and fall asleep in the back of the van,
and we'd drive to Houston.
Speaker 6 (15:14):
We'd go to Astra World all day.
Speaker 5 (15:16):
We'd come back and shower and be so tired you
couldn't see straight. But your kids, you don't care, and
you're full of sticky sugar. So you got old the
false energy in the world. I've seen Ramone's kids when
they got that. They got that energy where you can
tell if they just as my grandmother say, did you
just get somewhere in light? If they would stop for
just a moment, they fall asleep. Anyway, So we'd go
(15:38):
to the Astros game that night, and then we'd steal
all the holiday in towels. We'd swim in the holiday
in little cocktail pool they had, and then the next
morning we get up and go home, and if nothing else,
we had replenished our towel supply. So I thought one
of the best PR moves was a few years ago
the holiday inn and now that they were giving.
Speaker 6 (16:02):
Amnesty for anyone who would bring back their towel. I mean,
what you're trying to do is be talked about. What
you're trying to do is be relevant.
Speaker 5 (16:11):
And people don't realize when you're talking about a celebrity
and movie star, a politician, a artist, actor, when you're
talking about them and something that they have done that's
put them in the news. I don't mean a drunk
driving accident or you know, shooting somebody, but when they've
done something that's put them in the news, you realize
(16:32):
that when you talk about them, you're doing them a
favor because what they're doing is trying to reinject themselves
into relevancy, to be talked about again. Because the worst
thing that can happen for a famous person, the most
career ending thing, is to become irrelevant to no longer
be talked about. That is the absolute worst thing that
(16:53):
can happen. Apropos, absolutely nothing.
Speaker 6 (17:00):
Is well.
Speaker 5 (17:01):
Kind of something I came across a video. What you're
going to see this weekend is you're gonna see a
a lot of groups that are all funded by the
same usaid by the same Soros. Groups that are designed,
(17:21):
groups that are funded and supported and organized for the
sole purpose of bringing chaos and disorder to the United States,
to our social system, tearing families apart, tearing the country apart,
dividing us.
Speaker 6 (17:35):
The British had a policy.
Speaker 5 (17:38):
In India before unifying India. They would they it was
called divide and conquer. And so what they would do
is they would pitt one Muslim leader of one state
against a Hindu leader of another state, and they would
get them fighting. And as long as they were fighting,
they couldn't fight the English, the British who wanted to
(18:01):
plunder the resources. You know, we really did that United States,
CIA does that too. We did that with Iran and Iraq.
The decade of the eighties saw Iraq and Iran in
the nastiest fighting that went on anywhere in the world
during that time. Chemical warfare was used. It was absolutely
(18:22):
brutal decimated those two countries. I mean absolutely, A generation
was lost. It was brutal, brutal fighting. It was pitched
or promoted as Shia versus Sunni, but what it really
was was was our attempt, the US Israeli attempt to
(18:47):
keep those countries weak by fighting with each other so
that they couldn't turn the artillery on Israel. That's what
happened throughout the eighties. Now, when out of the eighties,
Saddam Hussein in the early nineties decides he's going to
(19:07):
invade Cutter or Qatar, however you want to pronounce it
and take their oil supply, Well, first, what, oh KUW eight,
you're right, okay, please don't interrupt. You know what, there
were probably eight people listening who knew it was KUW
eight and not Cutter. You are so happy that you
(19:28):
knew that. That's what there reason you said anything. There
might be more than eight people. But anyway, I can't
remember why we did that. Oh, I know, because I
wanted to close this segment with a clip I heard
by a guy who posts under the name America memed
like short for America, like America, and it's how to
trigger a feminist with one question. He walks up to
(19:51):
a woman who claims to be a feminist at an event,
and he pretends it's a man who's transitioned into a woman.
Speaker 6 (19:58):
Because if we're truly supposed to believe.
Speaker 5 (20:01):
That feminists transitioned men into women as women, then you
shouldn't be offended if y'all are the same, you shouldn't
be offended if we think you're one of them.
Speaker 6 (20:09):
Listen, this is hilarious.
Speaker 8 (20:10):
Beautiful trans woman out here, tell us about your transition
how I went.
Speaker 6 (20:14):
No, so I have a question for you. Why are
you asking me those questions we're interviewing like trans women
and stuff like that. I'm not a trans woman. I'm
a Oh no, No, we're support fully supportive.
Speaker 8 (20:24):
Do you want to talk about sort of transitioning or
anything like that, or like what.
Speaker 11 (20:28):
People going to a transition because I was born a woman?
Speaker 6 (20:31):
No, of course you're a woman. Of course does that make.
Speaker 2 (20:33):
A trans woman any less of a woman?
Speaker 6 (20:35):
No, you are one hundred percent. I'm not a trans woman.
Is there another definition that people like to use?
Speaker 11 (20:41):
Or you thought I was a man?
Speaker 6 (20:43):
I guess she's not such a liberal.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
After all, you've got them Michael Berry show.
Speaker 5 (20:53):
The important thing for Democrats is not how many people
are killed in the riots. It's not how bad the
terrorist attacks are, and that's what they are. It's not
about keeping safety, security, the rule of law, and the
protection of innocent people.
Speaker 6 (21:09):
None of that matters.
Speaker 5 (21:12):
It's all about winning the power game, the political appearance
of how this looks. So Nancy Pelosi has been over
the last few days using these Democrat riots to accuse
President Trump of refusing requests for National Guard support at
the Capitol on January sixth.
Speaker 6 (21:33):
You see, it was Trump's fault that.
Speaker 5 (21:36):
The National Guard didn't come in and keep those violent
January sixth protesters from burning down the Capitol and killing
all the cops.
Speaker 6 (21:44):
It was Trump's fault because the violence was so.
Speaker 13 (21:48):
Bad on January sixth, with violence against the Constitution, against
the Congress, and against the United States Capital, we begged
the President of the United States in the National Guard.
He would not do it. Not only would he not
do it when law enforcement people were being harmed let
(22:11):
some later died, he would not send it in when
his an instigation that he an insurrection that he incited,
was causing damage to those assigned to protect the capital
and the constitution that day, to accept the results of
the Intellectual College that day. He didn't do it. He
(22:34):
forgave those people. Now his people want to raise money
for them. And yet, and yet, in the contral constitutional way,
he has sent the National Guard into California.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
Something is very wrong with this picture.
Speaker 13 (22:53):
Inconsistent in his actions, contrary to his own statement that
he couldn't a year ago, that he couldn't send anyone
in without the governor's consent any place, and in violation
of the Constitution.
Speaker 5 (23:10):
Let's break down Nancy Pelosi's claim that President Trump never
offered the National Guard.
Speaker 6 (23:15):
On January sixth, twenty.
Speaker 5 (23:16):
Twenty one, according to testimony from Anthony or Nato, former
White House Deputy Chief of Staff, President Trump offered DC
Mayor Muriel Bowser ten thousand National Guard troops ahead of
January sixth to help secure the capital ten thousand. Bowser,
(23:40):
the mayor of Detroit of Detroit, DC, same thing, declined
the offer. She recommend She requested only a few hundred
troops for limited roles like traffic control, not for security.
She didn't want security because remember the plan was the
(24:00):
FBI had planned it out that they were going to
god people, incite people, induce people to try to attack
the capital. Notably, Anthony Ornato's testimony was excluded by the
final report released by the January sixth Committee. Remember Liz Cheney. Well,
(24:22):
they chose not to include all of the testimony because
that testimony wasn't consistent with the narrative.
Speaker 6 (24:29):
They created a narrative which was fiction.
Speaker 5 (24:34):
But the Trump administration didn't stop there after the Mayor
of DC, Muriel Bowser, turned down the full deployment, the
White House asked the Department of Defense to prepare a
quote quick reaction force end quote, just in case the
situation escalated. Once the capital was breached, Trump officials urged
(24:57):
Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller to deploy troops immediately or
not to recalled. Quote I remember the Chief saying, Hey,
I'm calling the Secretary of Defense to get that quick
reaction force in here. And later quote I remember the
Chief telling Miller, get him in here, get him in here.
(25:18):
Secure the Capitol now. So, the Trump White House did
make efforts to provide security before and during the January
sixth protests, and those efforts were downplayed or all together
excluded omitted by the January sixth committee A committee I
(25:41):
will remind you that included Adam kin Singer who left
office because he was going to be booted out of office,
Liz Cheney, who was booted out of office and who
hired I believe was the ABC executive producer to run
those That was all about television coverage, not getting to
the truth. By the way, the White House wasn't the
(26:02):
only one asking for the National Guard. The Capitol Police
chief at the time, Stephen Sund, told Tucker Carlson that
he made not one, two, three, four, five phone calls,
not six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven phone calls asking
for help, and it took seventy one minutes to get
(26:22):
approval from not Donald Trump, It's the Capitol Police.
Speaker 6 (26:26):
Remember from Nancy Pelosi. She slow rolled this.
Speaker 5 (26:31):
The whole goal was to do as much damage as
you could, to make it look as bad as you could.
Here was the then Capitol Police Chief, Stephen Son, talking
to Tucker Crosson, you make this call immediately immediately to
the house.
Speaker 10 (26:47):
Sergeant Arms, who reports, mister Irving, who reports Nancy Pelosi.
Speaker 6 (26:50):
He says, I'll call Pelosi.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
He says, I'm a running up the chain.
Speaker 6 (26:52):
Run up the chain. But that is the chain. I
want to tell you exactly. So what happens then?
Speaker 5 (26:58):
Does he get back to you over the next seventy
one minutes and makes the thirty two calls to tie
a number of agencies eleven of those calls or follow
up calls.
Speaker 6 (27:05):
And look at the Senate Combined Report from two thousand
and one.
Speaker 5 (27:08):
They have a great infographic of the call after call
after call after call eleven times.
Speaker 6 (27:12):
I call the next seven one minutes, going where are
we un the approval? Where are we inn? Approval? Just
any minute now, any minute, getting get any minute?
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Finally had two oh nine, seventy one minutes later, two
oh nine, I'm finally giving approval.
Speaker 5 (27:23):
Do you remember the documentary that Nancy Pelosi's daughter just
happened to be filming on January sixth, Well, there was
footage that leaked showing that Nancy Pelosi took responsibility for
not having the National Guard on hand that day. She
said it was her fault. This footage was not supposed
(27:44):
to leak.
Speaker 6 (27:45):
We have responsibility, Terry.
Speaker 14 (27:47):
We did not have any accountability for what was going
on there, and we should have. This is ridiculous.
Speaker 2 (27:55):
You're gonna ask me.
Speaker 7 (27:56):
In the middle of the thing where they've already breached
the inaugural stuff, that that should we call the Capitol police,
I mean the National Guard.
Speaker 13 (28:08):
Why weren't the National Guard there to begin with?
Speaker 6 (28:13):
They thought that they had sufficient There was not a
question of falla they have been. They don't know.
Speaker 14 (28:18):
They clearly didn't know, and I take responsibility for not
having them just prepared for.
Speaker 5 (28:24):
Two incidents from his first term have caused President Trump
to send in the National Guard to Los Angeles without
a request from the local officials.
Speaker 6 (28:34):
They weren't going to give the request, and he said,
I'm not going to wait around. They'll blame this on me.
I've got to do my job.
