Speaker 1 (00:02):
It's that time.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
The Michael Vari Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
This is your diamond. Their time is done. It's over, screw,
this is your time.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
America is on the cusp of a new golden age.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
But we will have the courage to seize it. We're
going to take it.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
We're going to make it a current I mean, and we're.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
Gonna bring this into a golden age like never seen.
Speaker 5 (00:39):
Before, to win with every single facet. We're gonna win
so much. You may even get tired of winning, and
you'll say, please, please, it's too much winning. We can't
take it anymore, mister President, It's too much. And I'll say, no,
it isn't. We have to keep winning. We have to
win more. We're gonna wait more. We're gonna win so much.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
But this will be the most exciting and successful period
of reform and renewal in all of American history, maybe
of global history. The Golden Age of America.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
I call it.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
It's begun.
Speaker 6 (01:16):
All I can tell you is that the inflation rate
itself was two point seven percent in the most recent year,
versus it got to a hive nine percent under Biden,
stocks for a record highs. Unemployment is four point two percent,
that's full employment.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
The GDP was three percent.
Speaker 6 (01:39):
The border is actually secure.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
We've got trade deals with EU.
Speaker 6 (01:43):
Japan, many more in the works, and trillions of dollars
of foreign investment coming here. Iran's nuclear ambitions have been
set back in deafinitely sident.
Speaker 7 (01:53):
Trump held the seventh Cabinet meeting of his second term
late this morning into the noon hour and beyond, and
he did something that is a master class on leadership.
(02:15):
And he's made this a practice. He had the cabinet officials,
each secretary talk about their wins. Now, when you do
something like that, you don't have to give a raw
ross beach, you don't have to threaten, and you don't
(02:38):
have to shame those who don't perform. High performing individuals
put more pressure on themselves.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Than you ever could.
Speaker 7 (02:51):
So what he does in this situation as he announces
we'll have a cabinet meeting in three weeks or we'll
have a cabinet meeting in two weeks on this day,
and you know what each cabinet official does at that moment.
They call their chief a stab and say, oh my god,
(03:13):
what are our wins? What have we done, because if
you're coasting as a cabinet secretary, we're going to figure
it out pretty fast. If you're an amazing delegator and
you've built an amazing team so that you can play
golf every day, I don't have a problem with that.
(03:35):
A lot of people do, and those are people like
my dad, who spent forty years punching the clock every day,
and so he rightfully.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Or reasonably resents the.
Speaker 7 (03:47):
CEO type who while he's at work turning wrenches at
DuPont for forty years, the CEO is playing golf with
a client or whatever else. And I understand that a
truck driver, he doesn't get to delegate. He's got to
get behind that wheel. He's got to get after it
(04:07):
every day. A police officer he got to get put
his trap, his gun on his badge and go out
there every day.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
He's got a job to do.
Speaker 7 (04:17):
But I have an understanding that there are people when
you get to a certain level who your job is
to build the team of people who build a team
of people who do the work.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
The general is.
Speaker 7 (04:31):
Not going to be out on the battlefield firing a
rifle in twenty twenty five, and nor frankly should he
This is a hierarchical pyramid we have there.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Now he should lead by example.
Speaker 7 (04:42):
I love that Pete Hegseth is constantly working out with
the guys.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
I think that sends a very strong message. I do.
I love the fact that Robert F.
Speaker 7 (04:51):
Kennedy Junior is taking care of his own health, so
when he lectures the rest of us on health, nobody
says what about you, Tubby. He's he's making the changes
or doing the things that he's recommending for people. But
what Trump is doing in this process is he is
(05:12):
motivating each of his cabinet officials to perform at a
very high level.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
And the accountability is all carrot, no stick. He doesn't
have to say, oh Christy, noam.
Speaker 7 (05:27):
She's not doing anything because she wants her department to
perform so she can show up and brag with her successes.
Toolsey Gabbard wants her department to perform. Lutnik wants his
department to perform. Marco Rubio. Each one of them wants
to be able to show what they have done. This
(05:51):
is leadership, one oh one. This is organizational building, development
and management.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I hate to word management.
Speaker 7 (06:00):
It's leadership and I make this point because I know
you know it, because we've had presidents who by and
large were not leaders. They might have been campaigners, they
might have been deal cutters, they might have been people
who inspired people to vote for them, but they were
(06:22):
not a person who you would say, find twelve people
your apostles, put them in a circle, and get stuff done.
Because that's not what they did. It wasn't their core competency.
And so they find themselves in these positions without the
(06:43):
skill set necessary to lead. And the reason for that
is most people in any country, not just in America,
don't know what it takes to lead. Most people have
never led. So the voter doesn't ask for that. Oh
you look like me, Oh the same race as me.
Oh you're a woman like me. Trump is the right
(07:05):
man for the right time, and he is showing you
one Southern pride.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Southern pride to Michael Barry Show, Trump took the victory
lap today.
Speaker 7 (07:16):
Using the one of my mentors in life, Gordon Bethune,
who was the CEO of then Continental Airlines.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Years ago.
Speaker 7 (07:26):
When Gordon Bethune took over, Continental Airlines was ranked the
worst airline in America. It was coming out of its
second bankruptcy and expected to go into bankruptcy within thirty days.
It was probably going to finish the airline off. Gordon
Bethune had to act fast. He made dramatic changes, and
Continental Airlines in a period of just a few years
(07:48):
went from being worst ranked the worst airline, to the
best airline or first in its class, which was the
reason his autobiography was called Worst to First. When I
ran for mayor City of Houston, he endorsed me. It
was a huge endorsement because Continental Airlines at the time
was the largest employer in the city of Houston and
(08:11):
the largest contractual partner because they were the hub of
Houston's airport system, so in Continent Airlines was based in
Houston at the time with over twenty thousand employees. And
when he endorsed me, he gave me some advice, and
the advice was also found in his book, and the
(08:32):
advice was tell them what you're going to.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Do, do it.
Speaker 7 (08:38):
But this is the part people forget and tell them
what you did. You know, if you make a promise
as to what you're going to do and then you
do it, sometimes you take for granted that people are
going to realize that you've done it, and they won't,
so you have to tell them what you did.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
That might sound odd, but you do.
Speaker 7 (09:00):
That's what President Trump was doing today because the media
is not going to tell you all the amazing things
he's doing, so he has to do it himself. Meanwhile,
what are the Democrats doing? They're doubling down on everything
that got them into trouble. In fact, things are so
bad that CNN compared the Democrat brand to the new
cracker barrel logo. This is CNN's Harry Inton, who does
(09:22):
their polling.
Speaker 8 (09:24):
The Democratic brand right now has about the appeal with
the American voter as the cracker barrel rebrand has with
the American consumers.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Bad, bad, bad. What are you doing?
Speaker 8 (09:35):
Oh my goodness, gracious, what are we talking about here?
In terms of big party registration changes in the key
swing states. Let's look at the key for swing states
that in fact do keep tract of registration by party.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Look, the Republican Party is in.
Speaker 8 (09:47):
Their best position at this point in the cycle since
at least two thousand and five, and all four of
these key battleground states. We go out to the southwest, Arizona,
how about Nevada, Republicans haven't done this well two.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Thousand and five.
Speaker 8 (10:01):
Oh my goodness, gracious, at this point of cycle, North Carolina,
I couldn't find a point at which Republicans were doing
better at this point in cycle. It's at least this century.
It probably goes way back in the last century, and
Pennsylvania very similar. Republicans doing better at this point than
at any point at any point this century, at least
as far as I could find. Now, what types of
(10:22):
gains are we talking about here for the Republican Party, Well,
let's compare it to this point during their first Trump administration,
all the way back in twenty seventeen. Look at this
the Republican Party gains and party registration compared to this
point back in twenty seventeen during the Trump first administration.
In Arizona, you got a Republican gain of three points. Okay,
how about Nevada up the hill we go, even though
(10:42):
we're sticking in the Southwest, a gain of six points.
How about again we come to the east coast North Carolina,
a gain of eight points for the Republicans. And in
the Keystone State, in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, again we're
talking about a gain of eight points. My goodness, gracious
for Republicans. They are converting old for Democrats to their
side of the ledger, as well as picking up new voters,
(11:03):
registering new voters, and it absolutely paid off for them
back in the twenty twenty four election.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I think you get the point.
Speaker 7 (11:11):
White House Deputy Chief of Staff and really the brains
of the operation, Stephen Miller, called a Democrat Party an
entity devoted exclusively to the defense of hardened criminals. I
guess that includes the trainees.
Speaker 9 (11:25):
Yeah, the Democrat Party does not fight for, care about,
or represent American citizens. It is an entity devoted exclusively
to the defense of hardened criminals, game bankers, and illegal alien,
killers and terrorists. The Democrat Party is not a political party.
(11:48):
It is a domestic extremist organization. Look at Chicago. They've
shut down the police department, They've handcuffed law enforcement, and,
as President Trump says, they have turned the street of
Chicago into a bloody killing field.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Here in Washington, d C.
Speaker 9 (12:05):
Before President Trump launched the federal Law Enforcement Liberation in DC,
there was a murder on the streets of this town
every other day, body after body after body after body that.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Was Washington d C.
Speaker 9 (12:22):
Residents were afraid to go to restaurants, they were afraid
to go into entire neighborhoods. They were getting carjacked right
and left, robbed and beaten. That was Washington, d C.
Now we're two weeks homicide free, the safest the city
has ever been in its entire history. And the Democrats
instead of jumping up and down and saying thank you,
(12:44):
President Trump, thank you for saving our lives, thank you
for saving our cities, thank you for scrupping away all
the graffiti, the trash, the homeless encampments, the drugies. Instead
of cleaning up the city. Instead of thanking him for that,
they're saying, is it in Trump? How dare you save
our lives? How dare you save our children? How dare
you save our city? The Democrat Party Sewan that exists today,
(13:07):
it discuss me I do not recognize that party.
Speaker 7 (13:10):
Well, let me tell you about that party. In Harris County,
which is where Houston is based. At the Commissioner's Court
today there was a proposal for four hundred and sixty
eight thousand dollars. This is a county that's bankrupt. It's
just broken. Nothing is being done floodwaters. It's horrible, flooding crime,
you name it. A Democrat commissioner by the name of
(13:32):
Adrian Garcia put forward a proposal to spend four hundred
and sixty eight thousand dollars to sponsor the twenty twenty
five Gay Softball World Series under the guise of economic development. Yeah, yeah,
that actually happened. I mean, this is what they're spending
(13:52):
money on when they're trying to raise taxes and revenues
are at an all time high and services are awful,
and we're just imagining what the Gay Softball World Series
in Houston, Texas is gonna look like.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Live from George Santos Field.
Speaker 10 (14:09):
Hello everybody, and welcome to the twenty twenty five Gay
Softball World Series. Let's go down to the field now
and talk to our leadoff better and the mascot for
today's game, Tim Wallas, who's giddy as a kid on
Christmas morning.
Speaker 11 (14:22):
Well it might as well be Christmas boys. We're all
gay and jolly down here on the field. Listen, what
a big day we're in for. These lineups are loaded.
Of course, we've got the best catcher around, Pete buteget
Kpete batting clean up for us today. It's the hammer
Paul Pelosi, and we've got a wild card on a
mound today. You know, he never wins, but he shared
(14:43):
us talk a big game.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
And I like that. Also holds the ball for a
very long time. Not sure what that's about.
Speaker 11 (14:47):
But that's old Bedow a roar kay beado. Now, Lindsey
Graham's a fan favorite, but he's still in the dughouse.
Frans are chanting his name, but he's afraid to come
at her. He does this every year. Oh and we
do have a late scratch.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
That's Hillary Clinton. She's a rally dealer.
Speaker 11 (15:02):
I don't forget Today's dollar Hot dog Day.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Every Barny Frank is the buck.
Speaker 11 (15:06):
Mitt Rodney's had a half dozen of those dolls tale
everybody hot dolls, my favorite meat, hot dolls, my favorite meat.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Oh okay, middie, Oh, I better quit my chatting. I
already have two strikes and no ball.
Speaker 12 (15:16):
From now nobody, Tom Wall. This is the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 7 (15:29):
We put this quite a bit yesterday on the John
Bolton raid and the allegations that John Bolton sold our
nation's secrets. And it's very important understand how how significant
this is it's not a sexy topic. It's it's not
(15:51):
a great talk radio topic, but it's the sort of
thing that if you don't execute on these fundamentals x'es
and o's, if your nation secrets can be sold, you're
not a nation. You collapse is imminent. Jesse Waters on
Fox News kind of went through what exactly he's hearing,
(16:15):
which is what we're all hearing was happening.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
This is why the raid was necessary.
Speaker 13 (16:21):
This might have nothing to do with classified documents or
about classified intelligence that Bolton printed in his book. Trump
Justice insider Mike Davis says Democrats, rhinos and reporters who
think this raid on John Bolton's about his book will
be very embarrassed when the search warrant becomes public. Prime
Time's hearing Bolton was making a lot of money from
(16:43):
overseas and may have been trafficking in intelligence that wouldn't
be putting America. First constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley, who we
just heard from, says.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Bolton could be looking at up to twenty years in prison.
Speaker 13 (16:57):
So Bolton should take his own advice and take.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
A big, beautiful, deep breath.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
I think it's important that everybody take a deep breath here.
This is a very serious matter and it would be better.
Speaker 11 (17:12):
Hm.
Speaker 7 (17:14):
Interesting, CNN is not happy that Cash Betel tweeted no
one is above the law.
Speaker 14 (17:23):
That tweet you just mentioned from FBI director Cash Mattel
saying no one is above the law.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
FBA is just on mission.
Speaker 14 (17:29):
The Vice President of the United States gde Vance just
retweeted it. So again, this is social media sort of
play by play here. But you now have the vice
president retweeting this.
Speaker 10 (17:41):
You know this.
Speaker 14 (17:42):
Statement again, it's not specific.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
It was put out during.
Speaker 14 (17:45):
The time of this FBI search, with now the Vice
President leaning in, which I imagine will only lead to more
questions about the timing of this. And the Attorney General
also retweeted with comments this morning as well.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
We went through this yesterday.
Speaker 7 (18:03):
But since it's apparently off limits to tweet no one
is above the law, let me remind you that while
they were raiding Donald Trump's home, Big Tish Tis James tweeted,
no one is above the law. Joe Scarborough tweeted, no
one is above the law. Chuck Schumer tweeted, no one
(18:24):
is above the law. Keith Overbite tweeted, no one is
above the law. Harry Sissy. He said, Hey, Donald, nobody
is above the law. In the United States, Congressman Jimmy Gomez,
this is a reminder. No one is above the law.
Senator Amy Klobashar. In the United States of America, no
one is above the law. That fat Governor JB. Pritzker,
(18:45):
No one should be above the law. Representative Frederick Rick Wilson,
a real genius. No one is above the law. Congressman
Jamal Bowman, no one is above the law. Mark Hammill,
I'm not sure why he made it on this list,
the figure skater, no one is above the law. Lori
Trey Hen Oh that's Louke Skywalker. You're right, that was
(19:06):
Scott Hamlin. Yeah, I got my Mark Hamill's confised. And
finally Joe Biden, no one is above the law. Well,
there you have it. Flashback twenty twenty. June fifteenth of
twenty twenty, President Trump is talking to Attorney General Bill
Barr and notes that John Bolton went out and wrote
(19:32):
a book. That book contained highly classified information. There is
a fiduciary duty to the handling of classified information like
it's radioactive, and that under the law is how it
must be treated. It's a longer clip than I usually play,
(19:53):
but I want you to I want you to understand
what Trump was talking about back in twenty twenty.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
He's doing a book. I think it's totally inappropriate that
does a book. I think a guy. I gave him
a break. He couldn't get state confirmed. He was never
set it confirmed the first time. I don't think he's
supposed to even be calling himself an ambassador because he
couldn't get sent it confirmed. He got in through a
little trick, and he was there for a fairly short
period of time. I put him here because he couldn't
(20:18):
get set it confirmed. This was a non senate confirmed position.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
As you know.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
He stayed for a short while, and I felt that
it was not appropriate that he's standing longer. I wasn't impressed.
And somebody said he went out or wrote a book.
If he wrote a book, I can't imagine that he
can because that's highly classified information. Even conversations with me,
they're highly classified. I told that to the Attorney General before.
(20:44):
I will consider every conversation with me as president highly classified.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
So that would mean that if he wrote a book,
and if.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
The book gets out, he's broken the law, and I
would think that he would have criminal problems, I hope.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
So otherwise, I mean, they put a.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
Sailor in jail because he's in a photograph of his
bed at an engine of an old submarine.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
And if this.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
Guy's writing things about conversations or about anything, and maybe
he's not telling the truth.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
He's been known not to tell the truth a lot.
So we'll have to see what the book is all about.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
But you know, a lot of people are upset with
him for writing a book. A lot of people are
very angry with him for writing a book. But it's
up to the Attorney general. Buil, do you have anything
to say about him?
Speaker 15 (21:27):
Well, people who come to work in the government and
have access to sensitive information generally sign an agreement that
says that when they leave government, if they write something
that draw us on or might reflect some of the
information they've had access to, they have to go through
(21:48):
a clearance process before they can publish the book. And
we don't believe that Bolton went through that process. Hasn't
completed the process, and therefore violation of that agreement.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
That's a criminal liability.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
About the way you're talking about you're not talking about
like he's got to return three dollars that he made
on a book that's called criminal liability.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
That's a big thing.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
You know, Hillary Clinton, she deleted.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Thirty three thousand emails, and if we ever found out
what those emails say, she would have had a liability.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
That's what you have. You have a liability. And the
Attorney General tell us what the DJ is doing in
terms of the bold.
Speaker 15 (22:27):
Well, there are a number of things, but the thing
that is front and center right now is trying to
get him to complete the process, go through the process
and make the necessary deletions of classified information.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
The book has been published, asked, it's been published, it's
just that release, h is it?
Speaker 1 (22:44):
If you it's being printed.
Speaker 15 (22:47):
According to sources, it's being printed. Hasn't been released, So
very important to try stop. Well, as what we were
doing was trying to get them to complete the clearance
process that's required.
Speaker 6 (23:01):
Because you know they hadn't pleaded the process.
Speaker 15 (23:05):
Where the changes after that, well, you know he hasn't
completed the process.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
He never completed the process. He knew that. This is unprecedented.
Speaker 15 (23:15):
Really, I don't know if any book that's been published
so quickly. While you know, the office holders are still
in government, and it's about very current events and current
leaders and current discussions and current policy issues, which many
of which are inherently classified.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
I haven't seen it.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
I haven't seen it, but he knows, and he was
advised not to write it, and he was advised very
strilling not to write it until it's cleared, and he
couldn't wait.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
And we'll see what happens.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
But I think he's got personally, I would imagine he
has like when you do classified, that to me is
a very strong criminal.
Speaker 12 (24:00):
Propertis in Ramone Duck, King of Dan and this other
guy Michael Barry.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
There the kind of guys you're like just smacking anast.
Speaker 7 (24:11):
Every illegal alien was engaged in violent crime, but every
illegal alien was breaking the law some of them, however,
a large number were a major part of American crime
and violence. Federal authorities arrested ten suspected international gang members
(24:36):
who they believe are responsible for a series of violent
home invasions across the city where I live, which is Houston, Texas.
Investigators say those arrested have ties to gangs in Mexico, Honduras,
and Columbia. The story from a local station in Houston
(24:57):
ABC thirteen.
Speaker 16 (25:00):
In the wee hours of the morning, eight armed men
forced their way into a Vietnamese family's West Harris County home.
Investigators say these are five of those men arrested and
charged this week with the March twenty twenty four home invasion.
Homeland Security investigation says it's part of a sweep targeting
a total of ten people wanted for a series of
(25:21):
armed robberies and home invasions, some suspected of ties to
transnational gangs, specifically gangs operating in Honjuras, Mexico, and Columbia.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
While investigating these.
Speaker 16 (25:33):
Five men, the Harris County Sheriff's office learned from Plano
police about a Houston based burglary ring targeting Asian homes,
with a Plano detective who put investigators in touch with
someone claiming to note one of the men involved in
the twenty twenty four home invasion. That man hasn't yet
been charged, but deputies say he called a Harris County
(25:53):
jail in made hours after the crime and told him
all about it. One of the victims pistol whipped and
beat it one of his wife and son. According to
this charging document, the suspects are also accused of placing
the victim's phones under a running tap, threatening to cut
off one of the victim's fingers, and then locking the
family in a closet.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Instructing them not to leave for at least thirty minutes.
Speaker 16 (26:16):
Deputy say they made off with jewelry and two safes
with an estimated four thousand dollars. One of the suspects
now under arrest in Montgomery County, but not for the
home invasion. He and two other men accused of breaking
into a house near Willis a month before the home
invasion and stealing a safe with one hundred and seventy
thousand dollars inside. All three being held at the Montgomery
(26:39):
County Jail with immigration hole.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Look a lot of parts of this story. What else
you're hearing about the investigation? And could more charges be coming?
Speaker 7 (26:51):
Why wouldn't we want to get murderers, rapist, pedophiles, car thieves,
drug traffickers, sex traffickers, human traffickers out of this country?
The Left has tried to convince you that illegal aliens
are good people. See here's one over here is she's
(27:13):
real nice. They never want to admit that anybody should
be deported ever, I mean, they've made a hero for
these people of this guy. What was it two and
a half What did I see yesterday? Two and a
half million signatures to keep this guy from being removed
(27:34):
from the country. An absolute thug, A thug who you
wouldn't want living next to you. You know, I grew
up very working class, and the Democrat Party of my
childhood appealed to the idea of law and order, the
(28:00):
working man, the integrity of the family.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
That has all gone out the window.
Speaker 7 (28:08):
They have been twisted into a pretzel to where they
are now having to defend and support out and out
criminals who are foreign to this country and broke in here.
I'll give you another example. President Trump yesterday made the
statement that I think at that point it had been
(28:30):
ten days and there were no murders in Washington, d C.
Since the federal takeover, so you put Democrats. Here's his statement.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Look, DC is a miracle. What's happened.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
I mean, they can come up with fake numbers like
the Mayorage doing.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Oh no, it was going down for twenty years. You
didn't live here, you know, have you been mugged?
Speaker 4 (28:50):
Okay, DC was at Hell Hall and now it's safe
and in fact, they've putting out this morning. I said,
I hate to say this because it doesn't sound very good,
but there have been no murders.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
In DC in the last week.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
That's the first time and anybody's memory that you haven't
had a murder in a week. And I think the
mayor has to get on the ball because we have
a situation. She's a nice woman, but I'll tell you what,
she's got to get on the ball.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
I don't want to see phony numbers.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
DC had an all time high last year of absolute
total crime and it continued pretty bad, and then we
put some strength, some strength.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Into it, got the numbers down a little bit.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
But we brought in the DC National Guard and we
coupled them with the police and it has been amazing.
Speaker 7 (29:41):
So now what you're seeing, and this is purely anecdotal,
but you're seeing videos popping up on various social media
sites Instagram, TikTok is Big, Twitter, Facebook of black residents
who are saying, we're grateful for President Trump. We can
(30:02):
walk the streets without getting shot. You're getting older people
who were saying for the first time they feel comfortable
coming out walking the streets. DC was like a Third
World warlords Paradise Mogadishu for instance. There are countries where
(30:25):
when you travel there you will be warned by your
host don't go to that neighborhood. It's a complete crime
zone and there's nothing that can be done about it.
And it's always the case that it's because the police
have been paid off by the warlords. In this case,
(30:47):
the on the street DC police officer wanted to protect
the neighborhood, but they weren't given the tools, they weren't
supposed to arrest, and the judges this was part of
cashless bail.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
So what'd the President do? Was it? Yesterday?
Speaker 7 (31:04):
He by executive order ended cashless bail. These are not
complex problems to solve. These are very simple blocking and tackling.
Put enough officers on the street, arrest bad guys doing
(31:25):
bad things, prosecute them, take them off the streets. I've
said this for years and it's important everyone understand this.
For every thousand crimes, there aren't a thousand criminals.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
There may be eight.
Speaker 7 (31:41):
When you get one super criminal, one super spreader, out
of the mix. It's like Malcolm Gladwell's book Tipping Point.
He studied aids and he figured out. You know what,
for every thousand people infected with AIDS, it's not that
there were a thousand people who had AIDS and infected.
(32:01):
There are super spreaders. There are really really promiscuous people.
If those people stop spreading, you would end the spread. Well,
that is also true of crime. You can have one
guy that commits seventy two crimes in a month.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
He's just on a constant crime spree.
Speaker 7 (32:19):
So when you catch that bastard, you've got to throw
him away. When you do that, you know you might
have one bad guy in a neighborhood and he's terrorizing
the entire neighborhood. You take him out, all of a sudden,
everybody's life changes. And the Democrats are now in the position, no, no, no,
we don't want that. We don't want that because we
don't want Trump to get credit for it. We don't
(32:41):
want Trump to get credit for it. If you've seen
the Jerry Jones documentary on Netflix, this reminds me of
Jerry Jones needing to.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Get credit for everything.
Speaker 7 (32:51):
He couldn't let Jimmy Johnson get any credit for the
success of Jimmy Johnson
It's that time.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
Time, time, time, luck and load.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
The Michael Vari Show is on the air.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
This is your diamond. Their time is done. It's over, screw,
this is your time.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
America is on the cusp of a new golden age.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
But we will have the courage to seize it. We're
going to take it.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
We're going to make it a current I mean, and we're.
Speaker 4 (00:35):
Gonna bring this into a golden age like never seen.
Speaker 5 (00:39):
Before, to win with every single facet. We're gonna win
so much. You may even get tired of winning, and
you'll say, please, please, it's too much winning. We can't
take it anymore, mister President, It's too much. And I'll say, no,
it isn't. We have to keep winning. We have to
win more. We're gonna wait more. We're gonna win so much.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
But this will be the most exciting and successful period
of reform and renewal in all of American history, maybe
of global history. The Golden Age of America.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
I call it.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
It's begun.
Speaker 6 (01:16):
All I can tell you is that the inflation rate
itself was two point seven percent in the most recent year,
versus it got to a hive nine percent under Biden,
stocks for a record highs. Unemployment is four point two percent,
that's full employment.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
The GDP was three percent.
Speaker 6 (01:39):
The border is actually secure.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
We've got trade deals with EU.
Speaker 6 (01:43):
Japan, many more in the works, and trillions of dollars
of foreign investment coming here. Iran's nuclear ambitions have been
set back in deafinitely sident.
Speaker 7 (01:53):
Trump held the seventh Cabinet meeting of his second term
late this morning into the noon hour and beyond, and
he did something that is a master class on leadership.
(02:15):
And he's made this a practice. He had the cabinet officials,
each secretary talk about their wins. Now, when you do
something like that, you don't have to give a raw
ross beach, you don't have to threaten, and you don't
(02:38):
have to shame those who don't perform. High performing individuals
put more pressure on themselves.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Than you ever could.
Speaker 7 (02:51):
So what he does in this situation as he announces
we'll have a cabinet meeting in three weeks or we'll
have a cabinet meeting in two weeks on this day,
and you know what each cabinet official does at that moment.
They call their chief a stab and say, oh my god,
(03:13):
what are our wins? What have we done, because if
you're coasting as a cabinet secretary, we're going to figure
it out pretty fast. If you're an amazing delegator and
you've built an amazing team so that you can play
golf every day, I don't have a problem with that.
(03:35):
A lot of people do, and those are people like
my dad, who spent forty years punching the clock every day,
and so he rightfully.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Or reasonably resents the.
Speaker 7 (03:47):
CEO type who while he's at work turning wrenches at
DuPont for forty years, the CEO is playing golf with
a client or whatever else. And I understand that a
truck driver, he doesn't get to delegate. He's got to
get behind that wheel. He's got to get after it
(04:07):
every day. A police officer he got to get put
his trap, his gun on his badge and go out
there every day.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
He's got a job to do.
Speaker 7 (04:17):
But I have an understanding that there are people when
you get to a certain level who your job is
to build the team of people who build a team
of people who do the work.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
The general is.
Speaker 7 (04:31):
Not going to be out on the battlefield firing a
rifle in twenty twenty five, and nor frankly should he
This is a hierarchical pyramid we have there.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Now he should lead by example.
Speaker 7 (04:42):
I love that Pete Hegseth is constantly working out with
the guys.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
I think that sends a very strong message. I do.
I love the fact that Robert F.
Speaker 7 (04:51):
Kennedy Junior is taking care of his own health, so
when he lectures the rest of us on health, nobody
says what about you, Tubby. He's he's making the changes
or doing the things that he's recommending for people. But
what Trump is doing in this process is he is
(05:12):
motivating each of his cabinet officials to perform at a
very high level.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
And the accountability is all carrot, no stick. He doesn't
have to say, oh Christy, noam.
Speaker 7 (05:27):
She's not doing anything because she wants her department to
perform so she can show up and brag with her successes.
Toolsey Gabbard wants her department to perform. Lutnik wants his
department to perform. Marco Rubio. Each one of them wants
to be able to show what they have done. This
(05:51):
is leadership, one oh one. This is organizational building, development
and management.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
I hate to word management.
Speaker 7 (06:00):
It's leadership and I make this point because I know
you know it, because we've had presidents who by and
large were not leaders. They might have been campaigners, they
might have been deal cutters, they might have been people
who inspired people to vote for them, but they were
(06:22):
not a person who you would say, find twelve people
your apostles, put them in a circle, and get stuff done.
Because that's not what they did. It wasn't their core competency.
And so they find themselves in these positions without the
(06:43):
skill set necessary to lead. And the reason for that
is most people in any country, not just in America,
don't know what it takes to lead. Most people have
never led. So the voter doesn't ask for that. Oh
you look like me, Oh the same race as me.
Oh you're a woman like me. Trump is the right
(07:05):
man for the right time, and he is showing you
one Southern pride.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Southern pride to Michael Barry Show, Trump took the victory
lap today.
Speaker 7 (07:16):
Using the one of my mentors in life, Gordon Bethune,
who was the CEO of then Continental Airlines.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Years ago.
Speaker 7 (07:26):
When Gordon Bethune took over, Continental Airlines was ranked the
worst airline in America. It was coming out of its
second bankruptcy and expected to go into bankruptcy within thirty days.
It was probably going to finish the airline off. Gordon
Bethune had to act fast. He made dramatic changes, and
Continental Airlines in a period of just a few years
(07:48):
went from being worst ranked the worst airline, to the
best airline or first in its class, which was the
reason his autobiography was called Worst to First. When I
ran for mayor City of Houston, he endorsed me. It
was a huge endorsement because Continental Airlines at the time
was the largest employer in the city of Houston and
(08:11):
the largest contractual partner because they were the hub of
Houston's airport system, so in Continent Airlines was based in
Houston at the time with over twenty thousand employees. And
when he endorsed me, he gave me some advice, and
the advice was also found in his book, and the
(08:32):
advice was tell them what you're going to.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Do, do it.
Speaker 7 (08:38):
But this is the part people forget and tell them
what you did. You know, if you make a promise
as to what you're going to do and then you
do it, sometimes you take for granted that people are
going to realize that you've done it, and they won't,
so you have to tell them what you did.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
That might sound odd, but you do.
Speaker 7 (09:00):
That's what President Trump was doing today because the media
is not going to tell you all the amazing things
he's doing, so he has to do it himself. Meanwhile,
what are the Democrats doing? They're doubling down on everything
that got them into trouble. In fact, things are so
bad that CNN compared the Democrat brand to the new
cracker barrel logo. This is CNN's Harry Inton, who does
(09:22):
their polling.
Speaker 8 (09:24):
The Democratic brand right now has about the appeal with
the American voter as the cracker barrel rebrand has with
the American consumers.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Bad, bad, bad. What are you doing?
Speaker 8 (09:35):
Oh my goodness, gracious, what are we talking about here?
In terms of big party registration changes in the key
swing states. Let's look at the key for swing states
that in fact do keep tract of registration by party.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Look, the Republican Party is in.
Speaker 8 (09:47):
Their best position at this point in the cycle since
at least two thousand and five, and all four of
these key battleground states. We go out to the southwest, Arizona,
how about Nevada, Republicans haven't done this well two.
Speaker 1 (10:00):
Thousand and five.
Speaker 8 (10:01):
Oh my goodness, gracious, at this point of cycle, North Carolina,
I couldn't find a point at which Republicans were doing
better at this point in cycle. It's at least this century.
It probably goes way back in the last century, and
Pennsylvania very similar. Republicans doing better at this point than
at any point at any point this century, at least
as far as I could find. Now, what types of
(10:22):
gains are we talking about here for the Republican Party, Well,
let's compare it to this point during their first Trump administration,
all the way back in twenty seventeen. Look at this
the Republican Party gains and party registration compared to this
point back in twenty seventeen during the Trump first administration.
In Arizona, you got a Republican gain of three points. Okay,
how about Nevada up the hill we go, even though
(10:42):
we're sticking in the Southwest, a gain of six points.
How about again we come to the east coast North Carolina,
a gain of eight points for the Republicans. And in
the Keystone State, in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, again we're
talking about a gain of eight points. My goodness, gracious
for Republicans. They are converting old for Democrats to their
side of the ledger, as well as picking up new voters,
(11:03):
registering new voters, and it absolutely paid off for them
back in the twenty twenty four election.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
I think you get the point.
Speaker 7 (11:11):
White House Deputy Chief of Staff and really the brains
of the operation, Stephen Miller, called a Democrat Party an
entity devoted exclusively to the defense of hardened criminals. I
guess that includes the trainees.
Speaker 9 (11:25):
Yeah, the Democrat Party does not fight for, care about,
or represent American citizens. It is an entity devoted exclusively
to the defense of hardened criminals, game bankers, and illegal alien,
killers and terrorists. The Democrat Party is not a political party.
(11:48):
It is a domestic extremist organization. Look at Chicago. They've
shut down the police department, They've handcuffed law enforcement, and,
as President Trump says, they have turned the street of
Chicago into a bloody killing field.
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Here in Washington, d C.
Speaker 9 (12:05):
Before President Trump launched the federal Law Enforcement Liberation in DC,
there was a murder on the streets of this town
every other day, body after body after body after body that.
Speaker 1 (12:20):
Was Washington d C.
Speaker 9 (12:22):
Residents were afraid to go to restaurants, they were afraid
to go into entire neighborhoods. They were getting carjacked right
and left, robbed and beaten. That was Washington, d C.
Now we're two weeks homicide free, the safest the city
has ever been in its entire history. And the Democrats
instead of jumping up and down and saying thank you,
(12:44):
President Trump, thank you for saving our lives, thank you
for saving our cities, thank you for scrupping away all
the graffiti, the trash, the homeless encampments, the drugies. Instead
of cleaning up the city. Instead of thanking him for that,
they're saying, is it in Trump? How dare you save
our lives? How dare you save our children? How dare
you save our city? The Democrat Party Sewan that exists today,
(13:07):
it discuss me I do not recognize that party.
Speaker 7 (13:10):
Well, let me tell you about that party. In Harris County,
which is where Houston is based. At the Commissioner's Court
today there was a proposal for four hundred and sixty
eight thousand dollars. This is a county that's bankrupt. It's
just broken. Nothing is being done floodwaters. It's horrible, flooding crime,
you name it. A Democrat commissioner by the name of
(13:32):
Adrian Garcia put forward a proposal to spend four hundred
and sixty eight thousand dollars to sponsor the twenty twenty
five Gay Softball World Series under the guise of economic development. Yeah, yeah,
that actually happened. I mean, this is what they're spending
(13:52):
money on when they're trying to raise taxes and revenues
are at an all time high and services are awful,
and we're just imagining what the Gay Softball World Series
in Houston, Texas is gonna look like.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Live from George Santos Field.
Speaker 10 (14:09):
Hello everybody, and welcome to the twenty twenty five Gay
Softball World Series. Let's go down to the field now
and talk to our leadoff better and the mascot for
today's game, Tim Wallas, who's giddy as a kid on
Christmas morning.
Speaker 11 (14:22):
Well it might as well be Christmas boys. We're all
gay and jolly down here on the field. Listen, what
a big day we're in for. These lineups are loaded.
Of course, we've got the best catcher around, Pete buteget
Kpete batting clean up for us today. It's the hammer
Paul Pelosi, and we've got a wild card on a
mound today. You know, he never wins, but he shared
(14:43):
us talk a big game.
Speaker 1 (14:43):
And I like that. Also holds the ball for a
very long time. Not sure what that's about.
Speaker 11 (14:47):
But that's old Bedow a roar kay beado. Now, Lindsey
Graham's a fan favorite, but he's still in the dughouse.
Frans are chanting his name, but he's afraid to come
at her. He does this every year. Oh and we
do have a late scratch.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
That's Hillary Clinton. She's a rally dealer.
Speaker 11 (15:02):
I don't forget Today's dollar Hot dog Day.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
Every Barny Frank is the buck.
Speaker 11 (15:06):
Mitt Rodney's had a half dozen of those dolls tale
everybody hot dolls, my favorite meat, hot dolls, my favorite meat.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Oh okay, middie, Oh, I better quit my chatting. I
already have two strikes and no ball.
Speaker 12 (15:16):
From now nobody, Tom Wall. This is the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 7 (15:29):
We put this quite a bit yesterday on the John
Bolton raid and the allegations that John Bolton sold our
nation's secrets. And it's very important understand how how significant
this is it's not a sexy topic. It's it's not
(15:51):
a great talk radio topic, but it's the sort of
thing that if you don't execute on these fundamentals x'es
and o's, if your nation secrets can be sold, you're
not a nation. You collapse is imminent. Jesse Waters on
Fox News kind of went through what exactly he's hearing,
(16:15):
which is what we're all hearing was happening.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
This is why the raid was necessary.
Speaker 13 (16:21):
This might have nothing to do with classified documents or
about classified intelligence that Bolton printed in his book. Trump
Justice insider Mike Davis says Democrats, rhinos and reporters who
think this raid on John Bolton's about his book will
be very embarrassed when the search warrant becomes public. Prime
Time's hearing Bolton was making a lot of money from
(16:43):
overseas and may have been trafficking in intelligence that wouldn't
be putting America. First constitutional scholar Jonathan Turley, who we
just heard from, says.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
Bolton could be looking at up to twenty years in prison.
Speaker 13 (16:57):
So Bolton should take his own advice and take.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
A big, beautiful, deep breath.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
I think it's important that everybody take a deep breath here.
This is a very serious matter and it would be better.
Speaker 11 (17:12):
Hm.
Speaker 7 (17:14):
Interesting, CNN is not happy that Cash Betel tweeted no
one is above the law.
Speaker 14 (17:23):
That tweet you just mentioned from FBI director Cash Mattel
saying no one is above the law.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
FBA is just on mission.
Speaker 14 (17:29):
The Vice President of the United States gde Vance just
retweeted it. So again, this is social media sort of
play by play here. But you now have the vice
president retweeting this.
Speaker 10 (17:41):
You know this.
Speaker 14 (17:42):
Statement again, it's not specific.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
It was put out during.
Speaker 14 (17:45):
The time of this FBI search, with now the Vice
President leaning in, which I imagine will only lead to more
questions about the timing of this. And the Attorney General
also retweeted with comments this morning as well.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
We went through this yesterday.
Speaker 7 (18:03):
But since it's apparently off limits to tweet no one
is above the law, let me remind you that while
they were raiding Donald Trump's home, Big Tish Tis James tweeted,
no one is above the law. Joe Scarborough tweeted, no
one is above the law. Chuck Schumer tweeted, no one
(18:24):
is above the law. Keith Overbite tweeted, no one is
above the law. Harry Sissy. He said, Hey, Donald, nobody
is above the law. In the United States, Congressman Jimmy Gomez,
this is a reminder. No one is above the law.
Senator Amy Klobashar. In the United States of America, no
one is above the law. That fat Governor JB. Pritzker,
(18:45):
No one should be above the law. Representative Frederick Rick Wilson,
a real genius. No one is above the law. Congressman
Jamal Bowman, no one is above the law. Mark Hammill,
I'm not sure why he made it on this list,
the figure skater, no one is above the law. Lori
Trey Hen Oh that's Louke Skywalker. You're right, that was
(19:06):
Scott Hamlin. Yeah, I got my Mark Hamill's confised. And
finally Joe Biden, no one is above the law. Well,
there you have it. Flashback twenty twenty. June fifteenth of
twenty twenty, President Trump is talking to Attorney General Bill
Barr and notes that John Bolton went out and wrote
(19:32):
a book. That book contained highly classified information. There is
a fiduciary duty to the handling of classified information like
it's radioactive, and that under the law is how it
must be treated. It's a longer clip than I usually play,
(19:53):
but I want you to I want you to understand
what Trump was talking about back in twenty twenty.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
He's doing a book. I think it's totally inappropriate that
does a book. I think a guy. I gave him
a break. He couldn't get state confirmed. He was never
set it confirmed the first time. I don't think he's
supposed to even be calling himself an ambassador because he
couldn't get sent it confirmed. He got in through a
little trick, and he was there for a fairly short
period of time. I put him here because he couldn't
(20:18):
get set it confirmed. This was a non senate confirmed position.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
As you know.
Speaker 4 (20:22):
He stayed for a short while, and I felt that
it was not appropriate that he's standing longer. I wasn't impressed.
And somebody said he went out or wrote a book.
If he wrote a book, I can't imagine that he
can because that's highly classified information. Even conversations with me,
they're highly classified. I told that to the Attorney General before.
(20:44):
I will consider every conversation with me as president highly classified.
Speaker 2 (20:49):
So that would mean that if he wrote a book,
and if.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
The book gets out, he's broken the law, and I
would think that he would have criminal problems, I hope.
Speaker 2 (20:56):
So otherwise, I mean, they put a.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
Sailor in jail because he's in a photograph of his
bed at an engine of an old submarine.
Speaker 2 (21:03):
And if this.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
Guy's writing things about conversations or about anything, and maybe
he's not telling the truth.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
He's been known not to tell the truth a lot.
So we'll have to see what the book is all about.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
But you know, a lot of people are upset with
him for writing a book. A lot of people are
very angry with him for writing a book. But it's
up to the Attorney general. Buil, do you have anything
to say about him?
Speaker 15 (21:27):
Well, people who come to work in the government and
have access to sensitive information generally sign an agreement that
says that when they leave government, if they write something
that draw us on or might reflect some of the
information they've had access to, they have to go through
(21:48):
a clearance process before they can publish the book. And
we don't believe that Bolton went through that process. Hasn't
completed the process, and therefore violation of that agreement.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
That's a criminal liability.
Speaker 4 (22:04):
About the way you're talking about you're not talking about
like he's got to return three dollars that he made
on a book that's called criminal liability.
Speaker 1 (22:11):
That's a big thing.
Speaker 2 (22:12):
You know, Hillary Clinton, she deleted.
Speaker 4 (22:14):
Thirty three thousand emails, and if we ever found out
what those emails say, she would have had a liability.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
That's what you have. You have a liability. And the
Attorney General tell us what the DJ is doing in
terms of the bold.
Speaker 15 (22:27):
Well, there are a number of things, but the thing
that is front and center right now is trying to
get him to complete the process, go through the process
and make the necessary deletions of classified information.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
The book has been published, asked, it's been published, it's
just that release, h is it?
Speaker 1 (22:44):
If you it's being printed.
Speaker 15 (22:47):
According to sources, it's being printed. Hasn't been released, So
very important to try stop. Well, as what we were
doing was trying to get them to complete the clearance
process that's required.
Speaker 6 (23:01):
Because you know they hadn't pleaded the process.
Speaker 15 (23:05):
Where the changes after that, well, you know he hasn't
completed the process.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
He never completed the process. He knew that. This is unprecedented.
Speaker 15 (23:15):
Really, I don't know if any book that's been published
so quickly. While you know, the office holders are still
in government, and it's about very current events and current
leaders and current discussions and current policy issues, which many
of which are inherently classified.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
I haven't seen it.
Speaker 4 (23:37):
I haven't seen it, but he knows, and he was
advised not to write it, and he was advised very
strilling not to write it until it's cleared, and he
couldn't wait.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
And we'll see what happens.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
But I think he's got personally, I would imagine he
has like when you do classified, that to me is
a very strong criminal.
Speaker 12 (24:00):
Propertis in Ramone Duck, King of Dan and this other
guy Michael Barry.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
There the kind of guys you're like just smacking anast.
Speaker 7 (24:11):
Every illegal alien was engaged in violent crime, but every
illegal alien was breaking the law some of them, however,
a large number were a major part of American crime
and violence. Federal authorities arrested ten suspected international gang members
(24:36):
who they believe are responsible for a series of violent
home invasions across the city where I live, which is Houston, Texas.
Investigators say those arrested have ties to gangs in Mexico, Honduras,
and Columbia. The story from a local station in Houston
(24:57):
ABC thirteen.
Speaker 16 (25:00):
In the wee hours of the morning, eight armed men
forced their way into a Vietnamese family's West Harris County home.
Investigators say these are five of those men arrested and
charged this week with the March twenty twenty four home invasion.
Homeland Security investigation says it's part of a sweep targeting
a total of ten people wanted for a series of
(25:21):
armed robberies and home invasions, some suspected of ties to
transnational gangs, specifically gangs operating in Honjuras, Mexico, and Columbia.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
While investigating these.
Speaker 16 (25:33):
Five men, the Harris County Sheriff's office learned from Plano
police about a Houston based burglary ring targeting Asian homes,
with a Plano detective who put investigators in touch with
someone claiming to note one of the men involved in
the twenty twenty four home invasion. That man hasn't yet
been charged, but deputies say he called a Harris County
(25:53):
jail in made hours after the crime and told him
all about it. One of the victims pistol whipped and
beat it one of his wife and son. According to
this charging document, the suspects are also accused of placing
the victim's phones under a running tap, threatening to cut
off one of the victim's fingers, and then locking the
family in a closet.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
Instructing them not to leave for at least thirty minutes.
Speaker 16 (26:16):
Deputy say they made off with jewelry and two safes
with an estimated four thousand dollars. One of the suspects
now under arrest in Montgomery County, but not for the
home invasion. He and two other men accused of breaking
into a house near Willis a month before the home
invasion and stealing a safe with one hundred and seventy
thousand dollars inside. All three being held at the Montgomery
(26:39):
County Jail with immigration hole.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
Look a lot of parts of this story. What else
you're hearing about the investigation? And could more charges be coming?
Speaker 7 (26:51):
Why wouldn't we want to get murderers, rapist, pedophiles, car thieves,
drug traffickers, sex traffickers, human traffickers out of this country?
The Left has tried to convince you that illegal aliens
are good people. See here's one over here is she's
(27:13):
real nice. They never want to admit that anybody should
be deported ever, I mean, they've made a hero for
these people of this guy. What was it two and
a half What did I see yesterday? Two and a
half million signatures to keep this guy from being removed
(27:34):
from the country. An absolute thug, A thug who you
wouldn't want living next to you. You know, I grew
up very working class, and the Democrat Party of my
childhood appealed to the idea of law and order, the
(28:00):
working man, the integrity of the family.
Speaker 1 (28:05):
That has all gone out the window.
Speaker 7 (28:08):
They have been twisted into a pretzel to where they
are now having to defend and support out and out
criminals who are foreign to this country and broke in here.
I'll give you another example. President Trump yesterday made the
statement that I think at that point it had been
(28:30):
ten days and there were no murders in Washington, d C.
Since the federal takeover, so you put Democrats. Here's his statement.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
Look, DC is a miracle. What's happened.
Speaker 4 (28:43):
I mean, they can come up with fake numbers like
the Mayorage doing.
Speaker 2 (28:46):
Oh no, it was going down for twenty years. You
didn't live here, you know, have you been mugged?
Speaker 4 (28:50):
Okay, DC was at Hell Hall and now it's safe
and in fact, they've putting out this morning. I said,
I hate to say this because it doesn't sound very good,
but there have been no murders.
Speaker 2 (29:02):
In DC in the last week.
Speaker 4 (29:03):
That's the first time and anybody's memory that you haven't
had a murder in a week. And I think the
mayor has to get on the ball because we have
a situation. She's a nice woman, but I'll tell you what,
she's got to get on the ball.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
I don't want to see phony numbers.
Speaker 4 (29:20):
DC had an all time high last year of absolute
total crime and it continued pretty bad, and then we
put some strength, some strength.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Into it, got the numbers down a little bit.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
But we brought in the DC National Guard and we
coupled them with the police and it has been amazing.
Speaker 7 (29:41):
So now what you're seeing, and this is purely anecdotal,
but you're seeing videos popping up on various social media
sites Instagram, TikTok is Big, Twitter, Facebook of black residents
who are saying, we're grateful for President Trump. We can
(30:02):
walk the streets without getting shot. You're getting older people
who were saying for the first time they feel comfortable
coming out walking the streets. DC was like a Third
World warlords Paradise Mogadishu for instance. There are countries where
(30:25):
when you travel there you will be warned by your
host don't go to that neighborhood. It's a complete crime
zone and there's nothing that can be done about it.
And it's always the case that it's because the police
have been paid off by the warlords. In this case,
(30:47):
the on the street DC police officer wanted to protect
the neighborhood, but they weren't given the tools, they weren't
supposed to arrest, and the judges this was part of
cashless bail.
Speaker 1 (31:01):
So what'd the President do? Was it? Yesterday?
Speaker 7 (31:04):
He by executive order ended cashless bail. These are not
complex problems to solve. These are very simple blocking and tackling.
Put enough officers on the street, arrest bad guys doing
(31:25):
bad things, prosecute them, take them off the streets. I've
said this for years and it's important everyone understand this.
For every thousand crimes, there aren't a thousand criminals.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
There may be eight.
Speaker 7 (31:41):
When you get one super criminal, one super spreader, out
of the mix. It's like Malcolm Gladwell's book Tipping Point.
He studied aids and he figured out. You know what,
for every thousand people infected with AIDS, it's not that
there were a thousand people who had AIDS and infected.
(32:01):
There are super spreaders. There are really really promiscuous people.
If those people stop spreading, you would end the spread. Well,
that is also true of crime. You can have one
guy that commits seventy two crimes in a month.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
He's just on a constant crime spree.
Speaker 7 (32:19):
So when you catch that bastard, you've got to throw
him away. When you do that, you know you might
have one bad guy in a neighborhood and he's terrorizing
the entire neighborhood. You take him out, all of a sudden,
everybody's life changes. And the Democrats are now in the position, no, no, no,
we don't want that. We don't want that because we
don't want Trump to get credit for it. We don't
(32:41):
want Trump to get credit for it. If you've seen
the Jerry Jones documentary on Netflix, this reminds me of
Jerry Jones needing to.
Speaker 1 (32:50):
Get credit for everything.
Speaker 7 (32:51):
He couldn't let Jimmy Johnson get any credit for the
success of Jimmy Johnson
