Speaker 2 (02:30):
Week to get mistiness says, and we suspicious in putty

Speaker 5 (02:54):
Walking I read, I didn't.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
All right, Elvis has left the building. I've told you
absolutely straight up.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
To this point. You know that he has left the building.
Speaker 6 (03:33):
He left the stage and went out the back with
the policeman, and he is now gone from the building.
Speaker 8 (03:41):
President Nixon had a famed meeting with Elvis. There's actually
a documentary about it. He also welcomed Johnny Cash to
the White House that didn't turn out nearly as well.
He wanted Johnny Cash to play certain songs that Johnny
Cash did not play in. Johnny Cash was at a
moment where he was trying to establish his bona fides
(04:05):
as anti establishment. He didn't want to be seen as
too much aligned with the man, whereas Elvis in his
visit with Nixon, Elvis was like me and a lot
of our listeners who are not law enforcement but are
law enforcement want to be He was obsessed with clandestine
(04:28):
operations and badges and law enforcement and the trade craft
of all of the above. A listener emailed me and said,
if Elvis was still alive, even at ninety, maybe he
is somewhere out there. President Trump would put him in
(04:48):
his administration.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
And I think he's right.
Speaker 8 (04:53):
I have long maintained that if you think things are
bad in Washington, d C. With Joe Biden and Kamala
Harri and Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff, you have no
idea how bad they are in local government. I served
on the Houston City Council for six years, and I
will tell you the corruption is in local government far
worse because nobody pays attention to it. Let's turn our attention,
(05:17):
shall we to Bogalusa, Louisiana. Our listener is on WRN.
The heritage was a rocker and it became Rush Radio
in New Orleans. Know where Bogolusa is, just outside New Orleans.
Of course, our WJBO listeners know as well. We have
an affiliate in Lafayette and beyond. But you may not know.
(05:39):
Bogolusa was a town known for its timber operations, but
those went into a decline. There was a railroad tanker
that exploded that released a gas that turned the sky
orange in nineteen ninety five. In two thousand and five,
Hurricane Katrina hit it pretty hard, not nearly as bad
as the ninth ward. But we turn our attention to
(06:01):
Bogolusa for a different reason today, and that is because
the mayor there is corrupt and awful and evil and terrible.
The story from WVUE TV in New Orleans.
Speaker 10 (06:15):
For about a half dozen troopers went into the city
hall annex and they are executing search warrants around Bogolusa
and this wide ranging scheme. The street here in front
of the Bogolusa City Hall is blocked off by Bogolusa police.
There are a lot of residents gathered around here somewhat
in shock at these developments because they believe Mayor Trung
(06:37):
is a very popular mayor and someone who they believe
has been facing a lot of opposition here in Bogalusa
since he was elected as the state's youngest mayor about
two years ago. But now he is sitting in a
Franklinton jail charged in this scheme involving as many as
eleven others about a half dozen members of the Louisiana
(06:58):
State Police came to city Hall just a short while ago,
now executing those search warrants. The State Police says a
violent crime task force have been looking into allegations for
the past year. They alleged the Tyrone Trunk and as
many as ten others are involved in a scheme to
use social media to distribute controlled dangerous substances like opioids,
(07:20):
high grade marijuana.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
And ecstasy.
Speaker 10 (07:23):
The allegations also include charges related to the use of
public funds to procure a hotel room involving a prostitute.
The Attorney General's office says they are determined to crack
down on public corruption, but some Bogolusa residents are skeptical.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
Lee Tyron has a tapability of dealing with prostituts. He
has a beautiful girlfriend, has a young as a child.
He's from a great family. He's always been an upright
young man. He has his head on his shoulders. That's
not something that he would put in his past attain
his record for his future.
Speaker 11 (07:59):
I think it's a tragedy.
Speaker 12 (08:00):
You know, people had a lot of hopes in him
as a young up and comer who might be able
to provide leadership and certainly that area needs it.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
And I think it's just, you know, it's disappointing.
Speaker 12 (08:14):
It's beyond disappointing when a public official lets you down
that way.
Speaker 10 (08:18):
And that was Attorney General Liz Merriel speaking in New
Orleans just a short while ago.
Speaker 8 (08:22):
He the Michael Berry Show Michael Berry Show, I raging
in California have exposed a number of problems with the
municipal government there, and again we go back to these
(08:44):
same issues, policies and personnel based on diversity, equity and inclusion.
As if it doesn't matter if you picked the quarterback
for your favorite football team based on a check the
(09:06):
box list of some unique country that they're from. We
insist we want our quarterback to be from Cameroon because
there's never been a quarterback from Cameroon in the NFL,
and we think it would be cute. So we want
a woman from Cameroon. Yay, and glowing articles would be written,
(09:32):
how inclusive this is. An African woman would never have
believed she could be the quarterback of whatever your favorite
professional or college team is, and everyone would cheer and
we would get articles.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
We would have a little girl from Cameroon. Who would say, I.
Speaker 7 (09:50):
Never believed I could grow up to be the quarterback
of the University of Texas. I never believed I could
be the quarterback of the CA the City Chiefs, but
now I do. And she would have family around her
and all this would be great and there'll be articles.
There's never been a woman from Cameroon to be the
(10:12):
quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 8 (10:14):
Oh, who could have thought this would ever be? What
a great moment, and the coach would be fetted. But
he was the greatest coach ever because he had done this,
and there would be much much backslapping and handshaking and
praise and articles and oh this is great, be interviewed
(10:35):
on all the TV stations.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
But they would lose.
Speaker 8 (10:40):
And what we're seeing right now is Los Angeles is losing, losing.
The Los Angeles fire Chief Kristin Crowley was heralded as
the first woman fire chief for Los Angeles and the
(11:00):
first LGBTQ. Well, that was real important until the fire
department needed to put out fires, which we're raging and
burning the city down. The story from NBC four in
Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
I'm super inspired.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Now.
Speaker 13 (11:19):
She took time out of her already busy schedule to
tell us about her vision for the department's future, one
that includes a three year strategic plan to increase diversity.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
People ask me, what number are you looking for? So
I'm looking for a number is never enough.
Speaker 13 (11:32):
Out of thirty three hundred city firefighters, only one hundred
and fifteen are women. Right now, she's already looking at
ways to change that. She's quick to point out that
doing so has a greater purpose attracting the best and brightest.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
For the job.
Speaker 14 (11:45):
They feel included, they feel valued, and they feel part
of a cohesive team.
Speaker 13 (11:50):
But Chief also checks another box when it comes to
inclusivity and diversity and this department. She's a proud member
of the LGBTQ community.
Speaker 9 (11:58):
That just kind of opens it of people that thought, oh,
I didn't even know that that was an opportunity for me.
Speaker 8 (12:04):
Yeah, so it matters. Stop hiring for the wrong reasons.
Rick Caruso is a real estate developer in Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
And Caruso.
Speaker 8 (12:19):
Caruso should have been leading Los Angeles, but instead Karen
Bassi is Karen vass is now in Ghana on a junket.
You know, they take these trade trips as if that
ever brings any business, it doesn't Karen Bass because she
qualifies as a dumb black woman the three things that
(12:42):
Joe Biden had to have in his vice president. That
was his first choice to be his vice president, but
there was all this video of her praising for deel
Castro and her avowed communists past. So instead the congressman
then ran for the Senate and then became the governor
of Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Yeah, because she'll be fine there.
Speaker 8 (13:01):
Here is Rick Caruso talking on Fox eleven Los Angeles
about the fact that the mayor Karen Bass is out
of the country and there's no water at the fire hydrants.
Speaker 15 (13:12):
They can't tide a fire without water and the resources
that are needed. Everybody knew these winds were coming, So
the other question has to be, you know, we're all
the things in place to try to, you know again,
mitigate the damage here. But the real issue to me
is twofold. We've had decades to go remove the brush
(13:32):
in these hills that spread so quickly. And the second
is we've got to have water. And my understanding is
the reservoir was not refilled in time and in a
timely manner to keep the hydrants gone. So that's a failure,
whether i'm DWP's part or another city agency. But this
is basic stuff. This isn't high science here, and it's
(13:55):
all about leadership and management that we're seeing a failure of.
All of these residents are paying the ultimate price for that.
Speaker 16 (14:03):
That isn't that was going to be My next question
is why aren't why isn't there water in the fire hydrants?
Speaker 2 (14:09):
That doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 15 (14:11):
You're right, that's a good question, and I think he
should start asking why don't you call the mayor who's
out of the country and ask her and get an
answer from her.
Speaker 16 (14:21):
Well, they say, on her way back, and that would
be a great question to ask her tomorrow if she's
at this briefing at eight o'clock in the morning, Because
I think there's a lot of people that are outraged
by that fact tonight when they look at as scenes
like this at businesses that people have worked really, really
really hard to build in homes that people's entire livelihoods
are going up in flames tonight.
Speaker 8 (14:43):
I'm not against cutting government budgets where they're wasteful, but
Karen Bass cut the fire department about twenty million dollars.
Do you think she cut her travel budget?
Speaker 3 (14:52):
No, she didn't.
Speaker 8 (14:53):
ABC News ABC seven News in Los Angeles tells the
story of a woman fighting to protect her elderly parents
home from the fire. Their insurance company canceled their fire insurance.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Just before the fire started. They're going to lose their home.
You decided not to leave.
Speaker 14 (15:09):
I know, I'm not supposed to be here, but this
is my parents' home.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
I know the feeling.
Speaker 14 (15:14):
And they just lost They got canceled from their fire insurance.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
So they're dealing with this.
Speaker 14 (15:24):
They're ninety years.
Speaker 17 (15:25):
Old and.
Speaker 14 (15:28):
Through the state of California because of this, they're ninety
years old that they've had They've lived in this house
for seventy five years and they've had the same insurance
and these insurance people decided to cancel their fire and
(15:51):
we're going through this and it just happened and they
have no fire insurance. So thank you California insurance companies
supporting residents who pay Texas and loved California, and they
wonder why people leave California.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
First and foremost, you did hit your parents out safely.
I live in Sir Madre and my parents are in
Sir Madre.
Speaker 16 (16:15):
But and now you know that it is under evacuation
as well north of Siera Martina Boulevard.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Yeah, snut here you've got dumb Michael Berry show.
Speaker 8 (16:28):
Our listeners on KFY in Lobock, Texas Streets cool home
to Texas Tech University and so much more. Will know
that that song was written by the great Mac Davis,
who wrote and sang and made popular. Said a wonderful
(16:50):
song about growing up in love Itock. He thought happiness
was Lovebock, Texas. In his rearview mirror. Mama kept calling
him home, kept calling him home, but and he came
to understand that Hubbock, Lubbock was home. There's so many stories,
(17:16):
myself included the people who grew up in a small
town and couldn't wait.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
To get out. You're young, you want the.
Speaker 8 (17:24):
Bright lights in the big city and the action man,
the action. And then as you get older, you slow
down and you have your own kids, and you realize
the big cities where the crime's at, big cities, where
the congestion, traffic in the hassles are at the big
(17:45):
cities where the stress is at. And that's even more
true today because today you can fully function as an
engaged human being in most sectors of our enomy, not all,
and still live in the small town.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
You can't be a cop. You want to be on
the big city.
Speaker 8 (18:07):
Department, or a firefighter, or many things that require you
to be present. But if you are like many, many people,
more than ever before, a person who basically talks into
a microphone taps into a computer, you don't have to
(18:28):
be in downtown La, New York, Houston any longer you can.
You can live wherever you want. So we were talking
about Los Angeles and the fires there, and I told
the story yesterday. In the early eighties, California was the
(18:50):
hottest spot in America. Everybody wanted to move to California.
It's where the pretty people were in the pretty beaches, Hollywood,
the Pacific Coast Highway, that pch If you've never driven that,
it's a thing of beauty.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
The Canyon, Oh, what a glorious drive.
Speaker 8 (19:09):
Southern California, Northern California, and the wonderful differences between San
Diego Los Angeles. If you never saw San Francisco before
it went to hell, you can't imagine what a glorious
city it was. Gerard Delli I mean Jewish delis Gerard
(19:34):
Delli architecture. Oh sure, we all know what it was
known for, but there was so much more to San Francisco. Well,
bad policies from people like Gavin Newsom, Karen Bass and
Kamala Harris and Moonbean Brown and Willie Brown have destroyed
(19:56):
that state and that doesn't make me happy. We need
a strong California. Sadly many of us have taken to
rooting against California. I hear this daily because they want
to see it fail, to see socialism fail, to see
white liberalism fail.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
And that's what it is. That's what it is.
Speaker 8 (20:19):
Blacks provided the muscle for the Democrats, but it's white
liberalism running the show.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Never forget that.
Speaker 8 (20:27):
Kamala Harris is owned and operated by white liberals, not blacks.
She had to play black now. She slept with Willie
Brown so she could come up through that portion of
the power structure. But it's the white liberals who fund
her and support her. In fact, she's the white liberals dream.
She's a woman who can pretend to be black and Indian.
(20:49):
Don't underestimate the influence of Indians in the state of California.
Silicon Valley because almost every major Silicon Valley company has
as a CEO a wealthy Indian. But what we've seen
my wife was Secretary of State of Texas in twenty
(21:09):
fourteen early fifteen, and she ran the election and she
did economic development, that's what the secretary of state Texas
secretary of state does, and relations with Mexico, and she
spent a lot of her time recruiting California companies to
come to Texas. At the time, Elon Musk was sniffing
(21:31):
around and she said, I think he's going to move
his operations to Texas. And I said, there is no
chance that Tesla will be in Texas. Boy was I
ever wrong. Well, now this is how far we've come
on that end of the spectrum. Mark Zuckerberg of Amazon,
we talked about this yesterday. They're doing away with the
fact checkers. Well now he says he's moving his trust
(21:55):
and safety team out of California to Texas.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
I never would have believed this.
Speaker 18 (22:02):
We're going to move our trust and safety and content
moderation teams out of California, and our US based content
review is going to be based in Texas. As we
work to promote free expression. I think that will help
us build trust to do this work in places where
there is less concern about the bias of our teams.
Speaker 8 (22:21):
This is a guy desperate to run from all the
crimes and failures of Facebook over the last twenty years.
I believe Mark Zuckerberg has rotten to his core. I do,
(22:41):
But I also believe that he is a survivor and
he recognizes, like a rat and leaving a sinking ship,
that he doesn't want to drown in the sea of
insanity that he allowed himself to get sucked into.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
I honestly don't know where.
Speaker 8 (23:05):
Mark Zuckerberg started mentally politically. I don't think he had
of you just wanted to build this company. I don't
fault a guy for that. I think somewhere along the way,
everybody he ran into at every conference wanted the DEI wanted,
the woe wanted, and I think in order to please them,
(23:27):
he became that and at some point that's who he was.
I'm not letting him off the hook. That's who he was,
and he did a lot of damage in this country,
a lot. You can't blame the FBI for that. You've
got to blame him as the man responsible. But boy,
Oh boy. He is making the left angry. The woke
crowd is furious because he went woke but doesn't want
(23:52):
to go broke. He is admitting the error of his
ways and moving the operation to Texas people. I thought
Elon was crazy when he did that. Now it turns
out he was the Bellweather. We are seeing high tech companies,
social media companies, biomedical companies fleeing California headed for Texas.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
It's insane.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
I never would have believed it. The Michael Berry Show
continues to use, to use, to use for this our
national audience. I don't know most of you well enough
yet to be able to indulge.
Speaker 8 (24:40):
As I do for our local audience in Houston after
almost twenty years on the.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Radio, so I couldn't.
Speaker 8 (24:48):
I didn't feel right in doing what I wanted to
do for this evening show, which was paying tribute at
length to Elvis Presley. We did do that this morning,
and it was a bonding event. You know, our listeners
have known us long enough now to where if they
don't like Elvis or don't want to hear me moaning
(25:09):
on and on about Elvis, they.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Don't get mad about it.
Speaker 8 (25:14):
They just, you know, the true Rush Limbaugh fans didn't
get mad when he talked about his beloved stealers or
his plane. They understood that he wanted to share some
of those things as well, and in time we'll have
that kind of relationship.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
But this morning, while.
Speaker 8 (25:31):
Doing this, I asked the folks, Elvis died forty seven
years ago, so you had to be of a certain
age to have seen him live. And I asked, especially
the little old ladies to call in, and boy did
they ever in my emails all day and if they
ever saw Elvis, to call in, And boy did they
call in and share some stories. And we made a
(25:53):
montage of just a couple of them. You can hear
our morning show on the podcast. You can hear any
of our shows on the podcast where you can hear
the folks calling in and telling the wonderful stories going
back to nineteen fifty five, the first video taken of Elvis.
There's no audio, just video in the guy who owns
the camera that took that first video. And I've been
(26:13):
emailing all day, but anyway, here was a little montage
we made of those calls.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Emil, you're on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 19 (26:18):
Go ahead, Emil, Yes, I got to see Elvis in
Las Vegas in nineteen sixty nine. My wife and I
were on our honeymoon and we just got lucky. I
think that was some of his first show, or are
a few shows that he when he got out of
(26:40):
the military back then.
Speaker 8 (26:43):
No, that was much Elvis, you said sixty nine. Yes, Okay,
now it's much later than that, but yes, anyway, are
you still married.
Speaker 19 (26:54):
So far?
Speaker 8 (26:55):
Good for you, Emil, Thank you for calling my man. Ray,
you're on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Ahead.
Speaker 6 (27:01):
I saw I All Lose nineteen seventy three in downtown
Fort Worth and at the intermission I got talked to
the drummer, you know backstage, you're kind of off side
of the stage, and I want to say, I'm two
days older than Joe Biden's.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Well you sound thirty years younger.
Speaker 6 (27:22):
I feel like thirty years younger as well. Thank you.
Speaker 8 (27:26):
His drummer was Ron Tutt. That's probably who you were
who you were talking to. Shy Lee, you're on the
Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 5 (27:35):
What say you?
Speaker 6 (27:36):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Shyelee?
Speaker 5 (27:36):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (27:38):
It's Cherie like Marie, but Cherie.
Speaker 8 (27:41):
You won't believe this. It doesn't matter national syndication. We
got over fifty stations. We added five more yesterday. All
everything I could ever hope for in my life I have.
But I still have to get up every morning and
come into a studio and know that there's going to
be a name put on the screen for me to
go to that may or may not in any way
(28:02):
resemble the actual name of the person on the other end,
because Ramon had just he just he hears you say,
somebody just throws a bunch of letters up there. He
literally just scatters letters up there. Cherie, what's your story, sweetheart?
Speaker 20 (28:20):
Well, I actually saw Elvis twice in one day. I
lived in Midland, Texas, and he was in Odessa, and
my mother had bought tickets to go, and we went
real We had after tickets to the evening show, and
we went very very early, and she went over to
the highest dollar hotel over in Odessa, Texas because she
(28:40):
figured that's where he probably staying. So we went over
there and she started talking to people. She was a hairdresser,
she talked to everybody, but she started talking to this man,
and he's talked to us just about stuff. And then
it is about two thirty when the next show was
afternoon show, was going to start, and he said her,
y'all go, and she said no, we have tickets to
the evening show. And she stoked to him for about
(29:03):
thirty minutes, and he reached in in his socks and
pulled out four tickets to the afternoon show. We went
and we It was right on the floor, and when
it was about over, I always knew that. When it
was about over, girls lined up in the aisle to run.
I don't know what they did, but I knew it
was the last song. And I got down in that
aisle and I ran up to the front and stopped
(29:25):
because the stage was like circular time of half circle
and deputies all around. So I stopped, and girls ran
up behind me. But I was first in line, and
I knew it was the last song, and he was
about to leave because he leaves the building. And I
started running and those deputies that one of them hit,
slapped me in the chest, grabbed me by the stomach,
(29:46):
and the other one got me by the feet, and
I was like midair, like I was flying, and I
nearly touched his booty nearly.
Speaker 8 (29:53):
Did you were sweet sixteen? I was just about yeah, Yes,
I was, you know, so uh Pat, you're on the
Michael Barry Show. Pat, you are eighty six. Yes, you've
got one minute, sweetheart, Go ahead, Okay.
Speaker 11 (30:11):
I saw him at Magnolia Gardens in Houston, that's where
I lived, and he hadn't even gotten started yet, you know,
on his career. He was just up there singing to entertain.
And he was so good then at that time, and
(30:32):
so shute, so good looking. And that's been eighty something
years ago. I mean I was a teenager myself at
the time, and so I thought I knew about him.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Uh is that tawn?
Speaker 8 (30:53):
Dear God, this person it is? Okay, I didn't know
that Vermone got him wrong or no. Goh yeah, sweetheart.
Speaker 17 (31:01):
Well my fifteen minutes of claim to fame is I
spent the night with Elvis Presley in April of nineteen
seventy two.
Speaker 11 (31:09):
All right, go ahead, all right, as a stewardess.
Speaker 17 (31:14):
They were called studentses back in those days. I had
a flight from midnight flight from lax to Memphis, and
he had bought up all the first class seats on
my seven oh seven aircraft, and so we got the
information from the gate agent and we put the curtains
closed for all those people, about seventy people in the back,
(31:39):
and we turned off the lights as soon as we
got them served, and all the flight attempts went to
the first class and the flight deck door was open.
It's called the cockpit back in those days. And the
door was opened, and one pilot was staying there and
the others had come out, and we spent the night
just talking to Elvis and the people that he had
with in that night, and he told the captain, he said,
(32:01):
just let me know about thirty minutes out from landing
and I'll walk through. So we walked. We walk with
people off around six am, and he walked through and
they had to circle Memphis twice so that he could
get through that back aisle and talk to every person
who wanted to talk to him. He kissed every woman
who wanted to kiss him.
Speaker 5 (32:22):
He was just the.
Speaker 17 (32:24):
Most gracious gentleman I'd ever met. I heard I was
in my sewing room.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
And mysand my husband said, go call Michael Berry.
Speaker 17 (32:33):
Now tell him your story.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
I'm glad you talk.
Speaker 17 (32:35):
Of course, when I got to the hotel, I called
my husband. He was, well, he wasn't my husband because
flight defense students couldn't be married in those days, and
I called him and said, I spend the night with
Elvis Presley and we were engaged.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
I love that.
Speaker 8 (32:52):
There's nothing I like better than the little old ladies talk
about when they were young, because you hear it in
their voices, in their minds, they go back to that.
I think it's most adorable thing ever, everything Elvis has
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Left for kid, Thank you and good night.
It's that time time time, time walking load. The Michael
Very Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
A lady and gentlemen.

Speaker 8 (01:34):
He s hadn't love down jail padsings, well say.
Speaker 2 (01:44):
Only food, but.
Speaker 9 (01:58):
Falling if I can dream of my son where ol

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Hold in for meone tell me, why oh.
Speaker 7 (02:15):
Why before wan that sun.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
I want to cold him.
Speaker 9 (02:24):
Great Chicago morning, A poor little baby child is born
to get it to.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Week to get mistiness says, and we suspicious in putty
rain before him and nobody the town.
Speaker 5 (02:54):
Walking I read, I didn't.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
All right, Elvis has left the building. I've told you
absolutely straight up.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
To this point. You know that he has left the building.
Speaker 6 (03:33):
He left the stage and went out the back with
the policeman, and he is now gone from the building.
Speaker 8 (03:41):
President Nixon had a famed meeting with Elvis. There's actually
a documentary about it. He also welcomed Johnny Cash to
the White House that didn't turn out nearly as well.
He wanted Johnny Cash to play certain songs that Johnny
Cash did not play in. Johnny Cash was at a
moment where he was trying to establish his bona fides
(04:05):
as anti establishment. He didn't want to be seen as
too much aligned with the man, whereas Elvis in his
visit with Nixon, Elvis was like me and a lot
of our listeners who are not law enforcement but are
law enforcement want to be He was obsessed with clandestine
(04:28):
operations and badges and law enforcement and the trade craft
of all of the above. A listener emailed me and said,
if Elvis was still alive, even at ninety, maybe he
is somewhere out there. President Trump would put him in
(04:48):
his administration.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
And I think he's right.
Speaker 8 (04:53):
I have long maintained that if you think things are
bad in Washington, d C. With Joe Biden and Kamala
Harri and Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff, you have no
idea how bad they are in local government. I served
on the Houston City Council for six years, and I
will tell you the corruption is in local government far
worse because nobody pays attention to it. Let's turn our attention,
(05:17):
shall we to Bogalusa, Louisiana. Our listener is on WRN.
The heritage was a rocker and it became Rush Radio
in New Orleans. Know where Bogolusa is, just outside New Orleans.
Of course, our WJBO listeners know as well. We have
an affiliate in Lafayette and beyond. But you may not know.
(05:39):
Bogolusa was a town known for its timber operations, but
those went into a decline. There was a railroad tanker
that exploded that released a gas that turned the sky
orange in nineteen ninety five. In two thousand and five,
Hurricane Katrina hit it pretty hard, not nearly as bad
as the ninth ward. But we turn our attention to
(06:01):
Bogolusa for a different reason today, and that is because
the mayor there is corrupt and awful and evil and terrible.
The story from WVUE TV in New Orleans.
Speaker 10 (06:15):
For about a half dozen troopers went into the city
hall annex and they are executing search warrants around Bogolusa
and this wide ranging scheme. The street here in front
of the Bogolusa City Hall is blocked off by Bogolusa police.
There are a lot of residents gathered around here somewhat
in shock at these developments because they believe Mayor Trung
(06:37):
is a very popular mayor and someone who they believe
has been facing a lot of opposition here in Bogalusa
since he was elected as the state's youngest mayor about
two years ago. But now he is sitting in a
Franklinton jail charged in this scheme involving as many as
eleven others about a half dozen members of the Louisiana
(06:58):
State Police came to city Hall just a short while ago,
now executing those search warrants. The State Police says a
violent crime task force have been looking into allegations for
the past year. They alleged the Tyrone Trunk and as
many as ten others are involved in a scheme to
use social media to distribute controlled dangerous substances like opioids,
(07:20):
high grade marijuana.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
And ecstasy.
Speaker 10 (07:23):
The allegations also include charges related to the use of
public funds to procure a hotel room involving a prostitute.
The Attorney General's office says they are determined to crack
down on public corruption, but some Bogolusa residents are skeptical.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
Lee Tyron has a tapability of dealing with prostituts. He
has a beautiful girlfriend, has a young as a child.
He's from a great family. He's always been an upright
young man. He has his head on his shoulders. That's
not something that he would put in his past attain
his record for his future.
Speaker 11 (07:59):
I think it's a tragedy.
Speaker 12 (08:00):
You know, people had a lot of hopes in him
as a young up and comer who might be able
to provide leadership and certainly that area needs it.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
And I think it's just, you know, it's disappointing.
Speaker 12 (08:14):
It's beyond disappointing when a public official lets you down
that way.
Speaker 10 (08:18):
And that was Attorney General Liz Merriel speaking in New
Orleans just a short while ago.
Speaker 8 (08:22):
He the Michael Berry Show Michael Berry Show, I raging
in California have exposed a number of problems with the
municipal government there, and again we go back to these
(08:44):
same issues, policies and personnel based on diversity, equity and inclusion.
As if it doesn't matter if you picked the quarterback
for your favorite football team based on a check the
(09:06):
box list of some unique country that they're from. We
insist we want our quarterback to be from Cameroon because
there's never been a quarterback from Cameroon in the NFL,
and we think it would be cute. So we want
a woman from Cameroon. Yay, and glowing articles would be written,
(09:32):
how inclusive this is. An African woman would never have
believed she could be the quarterback of whatever your favorite
professional or college team is, and everyone would cheer and
we would get articles.
Speaker 3 (09:48):
We would have a little girl from Cameroon. Who would say, I.
Speaker 7 (09:50):
Never believed I could grow up to be the quarterback
of the University of Texas. I never believed I could
be the quarterback of the CA the City Chiefs, but
now I do. And she would have family around her
and all this would be great and there'll be articles.
There's never been a woman from Cameroon to be the
(10:12):
quarterback of the Kansas City Chiefs.
Speaker 8 (10:14):
Oh, who could have thought this would ever be? What
a great moment, and the coach would be fetted. But
he was the greatest coach ever because he had done this,
and there would be much much backslapping and handshaking and
praise and articles and oh this is great, be interviewed
(10:35):
on all the TV stations.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
But they would lose.
Speaker 8 (10:40):
And what we're seeing right now is Los Angeles is losing, losing.
The Los Angeles fire Chief Kristin Crowley was heralded as
the first woman fire chief for Los Angeles and the
(11:00):
first LGBTQ. Well, that was real important until the fire
department needed to put out fires, which we're raging and
burning the city down. The story from NBC four in
Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
I'm super inspired.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Now.
Speaker 13 (11:19):
She took time out of her already busy schedule to
tell us about her vision for the department's future, one
that includes a three year strategic plan to increase diversity.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
People ask me, what number are you looking for? So
I'm looking for a number is never enough.
Speaker 13 (11:32):
Out of thirty three hundred city firefighters, only one hundred
and fifteen are women. Right now, she's already looking at
ways to change that. She's quick to point out that
doing so has a greater purpose attracting the best and brightest.
Speaker 2 (11:45):
For the job.
Speaker 14 (11:45):
They feel included, they feel valued, and they feel part
of a cohesive team.
Speaker 13 (11:50):
But Chief also checks another box when it comes to
inclusivity and diversity and this department. She's a proud member
of the LGBTQ community.
Speaker 9 (11:58):
That just kind of opens it of people that thought, oh,
I didn't even know that that was an opportunity for me.
Speaker 8 (12:04):
Yeah, so it matters. Stop hiring for the wrong reasons.
Rick Caruso is a real estate developer in Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
And Caruso.
Speaker 8 (12:19):
Caruso should have been leading Los Angeles, but instead Karen
Bassi is Karen vass is now in Ghana on a junket.
You know, they take these trade trips as if that
ever brings any business, it doesn't Karen Bass because she
qualifies as a dumb black woman the three things that
(12:42):
Joe Biden had to have in his vice president. That
was his first choice to be his vice president, but
there was all this video of her praising for deel
Castro and her avowed communists past. So instead the congressman
then ran for the Senate and then became the governor
of Los Angeles.
Speaker 3 (12:59):
Yeah, because she'll be fine there.
Speaker 8 (13:01):
Here is Rick Caruso talking on Fox eleven Los Angeles
about the fact that the mayor Karen Bass is out
of the country and there's no water at the fire hydrants.
Speaker 15 (13:12):
They can't tide a fire without water and the resources
that are needed. Everybody knew these winds were coming, So
the other question has to be, you know, we're all
the things in place to try to, you know again,
mitigate the damage here. But the real issue to me
is twofold. We've had decades to go remove the brush
(13:32):
in these hills that spread so quickly. And the second
is we've got to have water. And my understanding is
the reservoir was not refilled in time and in a
timely manner to keep the hydrants gone. So that's a failure,
whether i'm DWP's part or another city agency. But this
is basic stuff. This isn't high science here, and it's
(13:55):
all about leadership and management that we're seeing a failure of.
All of these residents are paying the ultimate price for that.
Speaker 16 (14:03):
That isn't that was going to be My next question
is why aren't why isn't there water in the fire hydrants?
Speaker 2 (14:09):
That doesn't make any sense.
Speaker 15 (14:11):
You're right, that's a good question, and I think he
should start asking why don't you call the mayor who's
out of the country and ask her and get an
answer from her.
Speaker 16 (14:21):
Well, they say, on her way back, and that would
be a great question to ask her tomorrow if she's
at this briefing at eight o'clock in the morning, Because
I think there's a lot of people that are outraged
by that fact tonight when they look at as scenes
like this at businesses that people have worked really, really
really hard to build in homes that people's entire livelihoods
are going up in flames tonight.
Speaker 8 (14:43):
I'm not against cutting government budgets where they're wasteful, but
Karen Bass cut the fire department about twenty million dollars.
Do you think she cut her travel budget?
Speaker 3 (14:52):
No, she didn't.
Speaker 8 (14:53):
ABC News ABC seven News in Los Angeles tells the
story of a woman fighting to protect her elderly parents
home from the fire. Their insurance company canceled their fire insurance.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Just before the fire started. They're going to lose their home.
You decided not to leave.
Speaker 14 (15:09):
I know, I'm not supposed to be here, but this
is my parents' home.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
I know the feeling.
Speaker 14 (15:14):
And they just lost They got canceled from their fire insurance.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
So they're dealing with this.
Speaker 14 (15:24):
They're ninety years.
Speaker 17 (15:25):
Old and.
Speaker 14 (15:28):
Through the state of California because of this, they're ninety
years old that they've had They've lived in this house
for seventy five years and they've had the same insurance
and these insurance people decided to cancel their fire and
(15:51):
we're going through this and it just happened and they
have no fire insurance. So thank you California insurance companies
supporting residents who pay Texas and loved California, and they
wonder why people leave California.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
First and foremost, you did hit your parents out safely.
I live in Sir Madre and my parents are in
Sir Madre.
Speaker 16 (16:15):
But and now you know that it is under evacuation
as well north of Siera Martina Boulevard.
Speaker 1 (16:20):
Yeah, snut here you've got dumb Michael Berry show.
Speaker 8 (16:28):
Our listeners on KFY in Lobock, Texas Streets cool home
to Texas Tech University and so much more. Will know
that that song was written by the great Mac Davis,
who wrote and sang and made popular. Said a wonderful
(16:50):
song about growing up in love Itock. He thought happiness
was Lovebock, Texas. In his rearview mirror. Mama kept calling
him home, kept calling him home, but and he came
to understand that Hubbock, Lubbock was home. There's so many stories,
(17:16):
myself included the people who grew up in a small
town and couldn't wait.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
To get out. You're young, you want the.
Speaker 8 (17:24):
Bright lights in the big city and the action man,
the action. And then as you get older, you slow
down and you have your own kids, and you realize
the big cities where the crime's at, big cities, where
the congestion, traffic in the hassles are at the big
(17:45):
cities where the stress is at. And that's even more
true today because today you can fully function as an
engaged human being in most sectors of our enomy, not all,
and still live in the small town.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
You can't be a cop. You want to be on
the big city.
Speaker 8 (18:07):
Department, or a firefighter, or many things that require you
to be present. But if you are like many, many people,
more than ever before, a person who basically talks into
a microphone taps into a computer, you don't have to
(18:28):
be in downtown La, New York, Houston any longer you can.
You can live wherever you want. So we were talking
about Los Angeles and the fires there, and I told
the story yesterday. In the early eighties, California was the
(18:50):
hottest spot in America. Everybody wanted to move to California.
It's where the pretty people were in the pretty beaches, Hollywood,
the Pacific Coast Highway, that pch If you've never driven that,
it's a thing of beauty.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
The Canyon, Oh, what a glorious drive.
Speaker 8 (19:09):
Southern California, Northern California, and the wonderful differences between San
Diego Los Angeles. If you never saw San Francisco before
it went to hell, you can't imagine what a glorious
city it was. Gerard Delli I mean Jewish delis Gerard
(19:34):
Delli architecture. Oh sure, we all know what it was
known for, but there was so much more to San Francisco. Well,
bad policies from people like Gavin Newsom, Karen Bass and
Kamala Harris and Moonbean Brown and Willie Brown have destroyed
(19:56):
that state and that doesn't make me happy. We need
a strong California. Sadly many of us have taken to
rooting against California. I hear this daily because they want
to see it fail, to see socialism fail, to see
white liberalism fail.
Speaker 3 (20:15):
And that's what it is. That's what it is.
Speaker 8 (20:19):
Blacks provided the muscle for the Democrats, but it's white
liberalism running the show.
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Never forget that.
Speaker 8 (20:27):
Kamala Harris is owned and operated by white liberals, not blacks.
She had to play black now. She slept with Willie
Brown so she could come up through that portion of
the power structure. But it's the white liberals who fund
her and support her. In fact, she's the white liberals dream.
She's a woman who can pretend to be black and Indian.
(20:49):
Don't underestimate the influence of Indians in the state of California.
Silicon Valley because almost every major Silicon Valley company has
as a CEO a wealthy Indian. But what we've seen
my wife was Secretary of State of Texas in twenty
(21:09):
fourteen early fifteen, and she ran the election and she
did economic development, that's what the secretary of state Texas
secretary of state does, and relations with Mexico, and she
spent a lot of her time recruiting California companies to
come to Texas. At the time, Elon Musk was sniffing
(21:31):
around and she said, I think he's going to move
his operations to Texas. And I said, there is no
chance that Tesla will be in Texas. Boy was I
ever wrong. Well, now this is how far we've come
on that end of the spectrum. Mark Zuckerberg of Amazon,
we talked about this yesterday. They're doing away with the
fact checkers. Well now he says he's moving his trust
(21:55):
and safety team out of California to Texas.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
I never would have believed this.
Speaker 18 (22:02):
We're going to move our trust and safety and content
moderation teams out of California, and our US based content
review is going to be based in Texas. As we
work to promote free expression. I think that will help
us build trust to do this work in places where
there is less concern about the bias of our teams.
Speaker 8 (22:21):
This is a guy desperate to run from all the
crimes and failures of Facebook over the last twenty years.
I believe Mark Zuckerberg has rotten to his core. I do,
(22:41):
But I also believe that he is a survivor and
he recognizes, like a rat and leaving a sinking ship,
that he doesn't want to drown in the sea of
insanity that he allowed himself to get sucked into.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
I honestly don't know where.
Speaker 8 (23:05):
Mark Zuckerberg started mentally politically. I don't think he had
of you just wanted to build this company. I don't
fault a guy for that. I think somewhere along the way,
everybody he ran into at every conference wanted the DEI wanted,
the woe wanted, and I think in order to please them,
(23:27):
he became that and at some point that's who he was.
I'm not letting him off the hook. That's who he was,
and he did a lot of damage in this country,
a lot. You can't blame the FBI for that. You've
got to blame him as the man responsible. But boy,
Oh boy. He is making the left angry. The woke
crowd is furious because he went woke but doesn't want
(23:52):
to go broke. He is admitting the error of his
ways and moving the operation to Texas people. I thought
Elon was crazy when he did that. Now it turns
out he was the Bellweather. We are seeing high tech companies,
social media companies, biomedical companies fleeing California headed for Texas.
Speaker 2 (24:17):
It's insane.
Speaker 3 (24:19):
I never would have believed it. The Michael Berry Show
continues to use, to use, to use for this our
national audience. I don't know most of you well enough
yet to be able to indulge.
Speaker 8 (24:40):
As I do for our local audience in Houston after
almost twenty years on the.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
Radio, so I couldn't.
Speaker 8 (24:48):
I didn't feel right in doing what I wanted to
do for this evening show, which was paying tribute at
length to Elvis Presley. We did do that this morning,
and it was a bonding event. You know, our listeners
have known us long enough now to where if they
don't like Elvis or don't want to hear me moaning
(25:09):
on and on about Elvis, they.
Speaker 3 (25:13):
Don't get mad about it.
Speaker 8 (25:14):
They just, you know, the true Rush Limbaugh fans didn't
get mad when he talked about his beloved stealers or
his plane. They understood that he wanted to share some
of those things as well, and in time we'll have
that kind of relationship.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
But this morning, while.
Speaker 8 (25:31):
Doing this, I asked the folks, Elvis died forty seven
years ago, so you had to be of a certain
age to have seen him live. And I asked, especially
the little old ladies to call in, and boy did
they ever in my emails all day and if they
ever saw Elvis, to call in, And boy did they
call in and share some stories. And we made a
(25:53):
montage of just a couple of them. You can hear
our morning show on the podcast. You can hear any
of our shows on the podcast where you can hear
the folks calling in and telling the wonderful stories going
back to nineteen fifty five, the first video taken of Elvis.
There's no audio, just video in the guy who owns
the camera that took that first video. And I've been
(26:13):
emailing all day, but anyway, here was a little montage
we made of those calls.
Speaker 3 (26:16):
Emil, you're on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 19 (26:18):
Go ahead, Emil, Yes, I got to see Elvis in
Las Vegas in nineteen sixty nine. My wife and I
were on our honeymoon and we just got lucky. I
think that was some of his first show, or are
a few shows that he when he got out of
(26:40):
the military back then.
Speaker 8 (26:43):
No, that was much Elvis, you said sixty nine. Yes, Okay,
now it's much later than that, but yes, anyway, are
you still married.
Speaker 19 (26:54):
So far?
Speaker 8 (26:55):
Good for you, Emil, Thank you for calling my man. Ray,
you're on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Ahead.
Speaker 6 (27:01):
I saw I All Lose nineteen seventy three in downtown
Fort Worth and at the intermission I got talked to
the drummer, you know backstage, you're kind of off side
of the stage, and I want to say, I'm two
days older than Joe Biden's.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
Well you sound thirty years younger.
Speaker 6 (27:22):
I feel like thirty years younger as well. Thank you.
Speaker 8 (27:26):
His drummer was Ron Tutt. That's probably who you were
who you were talking to. Shy Lee, you're on the
Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 5 (27:35):
What say you?
Speaker 6 (27:36):
Is it?
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Shyelee?
Speaker 5 (27:36):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (27:38):
It's Cherie like Marie, but Cherie.
Speaker 8 (27:41):
You won't believe this. It doesn't matter national syndication. We
got over fifty stations. We added five more yesterday. All
everything I could ever hope for in my life I have.
But I still have to get up every morning and
come into a studio and know that there's going to
be a name put on the screen for me to
go to that may or may not in any way
(28:02):
resemble the actual name of the person on the other end,
because Ramon had just he just he hears you say,
somebody just throws a bunch of letters up there. He
literally just scatters letters up there. Cherie, what's your story, sweetheart?
Speaker 20 (28:20):
Well, I actually saw Elvis twice in one day. I
lived in Midland, Texas, and he was in Odessa, and
my mother had bought tickets to go, and we went
real We had after tickets to the evening show, and
we went very very early, and she went over to
the highest dollar hotel over in Odessa, Texas because she
(28:40):
figured that's where he probably staying. So we went over
there and she started talking to people. She was a hairdresser,
she talked to everybody, but she started talking to this man,
and he's talked to us just about stuff. And then
it is about two thirty when the next show was
afternoon show, was going to start, and he said her,
y'all go, and she said no, we have tickets to
the evening show. And she stoked to him for about
(29:03):
thirty minutes, and he reached in in his socks and
pulled out four tickets to the afternoon show. We went
and we It was right on the floor, and when
it was about over, I always knew that. When it
was about over, girls lined up in the aisle to run.
I don't know what they did, but I knew it
was the last song. And I got down in that
aisle and I ran up to the front and stopped
(29:25):
because the stage was like circular time of half circle
and deputies all around. So I stopped, and girls ran
up behind me. But I was first in line, and
I knew it was the last song, and he was
about to leave because he leaves the building. And I
started running and those deputies that one of them hit,
slapped me in the chest, grabbed me by the stomach,
(29:46):
and the other one got me by the feet, and
I was like midair, like I was flying, and I
nearly touched his booty nearly.
Speaker 8 (29:53):
Did you were sweet sixteen? I was just about yeah, Yes,
I was, you know, so uh Pat, you're on the
Michael Barry Show. Pat, you are eighty six. Yes, you've
got one minute, sweetheart, Go ahead, Okay.
Speaker 11 (30:11):
I saw him at Magnolia Gardens in Houston, that's where
I lived, and he hadn't even gotten started yet, you know,
on his career. He was just up there singing to entertain.
And he was so good then at that time, and
(30:32):
so shute, so good looking. And that's been eighty something
years ago. I mean I was a teenager myself at
the time, and so I thought I knew about him.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Uh is that tawn?
Speaker 8 (30:53):
Dear God, this person it is? Okay, I didn't know
that Vermone got him wrong or no. Goh yeah, sweetheart.
Speaker 17 (31:01):
Well my fifteen minutes of claim to fame is I
spent the night with Elvis Presley in April of nineteen
seventy two.
Speaker 11 (31:09):
All right, go ahead, all right, as a stewardess.
Speaker 17 (31:14):
They were called studentses back in those days. I had
a flight from midnight flight from lax to Memphis, and
he had bought up all the first class seats on
my seven oh seven aircraft, and so we got the
information from the gate agent and we put the curtains
closed for all those people, about seventy people in the back,
(31:39):
and we turned off the lights as soon as we
got them served, and all the flight attempts went to
the first class and the flight deck door was open.
It's called the cockpit back in those days. And the
door was opened, and one pilot was staying there and
the others had come out, and we spent the night
just talking to Elvis and the people that he had
with in that night, and he told the captain, he said,
(32:01):
just let me know about thirty minutes out from landing
and I'll walk through. So we walked. We walk with
people off around six am, and he walked through and
they had to circle Memphis twice so that he could
get through that back aisle and talk to every person
who wanted to talk to him. He kissed every woman
who wanted to kiss him.
Speaker 5 (32:22):
He was just the.
Speaker 17 (32:24):
Most gracious gentleman I'd ever met. I heard I was
in my sewing room.
Speaker 2 (32:30):
And mysand my husband said, go call Michael Berry.
Speaker 17 (32:33):
Now tell him your story.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
I'm glad you talk.
Speaker 17 (32:35):
Of course, when I got to the hotel, I called
my husband. He was, well, he wasn't my husband because
flight defense students couldn't be married in those days, and
I called him and said, I spend the night with
Elvis Presley and we were engaged.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
I love that.
Speaker 8 (32:52):
There's nothing I like better than the little old ladies talk
about when they were young, because you hear it in
their voices, in their minds, they go back to that.
I think it's most adorable thing ever, everything Elvis has
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Left for kid, Thank you and good night.
