1 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:09,399 Speaker 1: It's that time time, time, time, luck and load. 2 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 2: So Michael Veri show is on the air. 3 00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:20,360 Speaker 1: He is not pardoning his son, which he could do. 4 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,959 Speaker 1: These are federal charges. He is not doing that. He 5 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,920 Speaker 1: is not doing it because he is living what it 6 00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,320 Speaker 1: means to have a rule of law in this country. 7 00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,080 Speaker 1: And then it isn't I mean, if you want to know, 8 00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:36,319 Speaker 1: if he believes it, you can actually see what is 9 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 1: happening with his own son. 10 00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 3: If Biden has lost something with the American people over 11 00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 3: the last few years, it's that reminder that he is 12 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 3: sort of the opposite of Trump on empathy, right, He's 13 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,159 Speaker 3: the opposite of Trump on some of these things. And 14 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 3: I think this verdict their reaction to it versus how 15 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 3: the Trump's have reacted to the rule of law. Certainly, 16 00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,400 Speaker 3: I think presents that character contrast. 17 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 4: It goes, let's bokeet all that and give me the normal, 18 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:09,320 Speaker 4: and you can't find it. 19 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 2: So I can't call. 20 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 4: Just the denim I'm finding so. 21 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:16,640 Speaker 2: Overcome. 22 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 4: I learned to take it well.

I wish my words just defends myself that it 45 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 4: just wasn't real. 46 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 8: But that's not the. 47 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 2: Way it be. 48 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,520 Speaker 7: Donald Trump lies every time he opens his mouth. We've 49 00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 7: been screaming, Joe Biden repeatedly lied about this. This just 50 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 7: furthers the cynicism that people have about politics and and 51 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 7: and that cynicism strengthens Trump because Trump can just say 52 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 7: I'm not a unique threat. Everybody does this if I 53 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,959 Speaker 7: do something for my kid, my son in law, whatever. Look, 54 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,360 Speaker 7: Joe Biden does the same thing. I get it. But 55 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 7: this was a selfish move by Biden, which politically only 56 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 7: strengthens Trump. It's just deflating. 57 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 4: But let's hook it all that and give me and 58 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 4: you can't find it, so I can't be called. 59 00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 7: To show. 60 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:31,799 Speaker 4: To take it well. 61 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 2: That the CEO of United Healthcare, Brian Thompson, it is 62 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 2: being reported as of about a moment ago, a minute ago, 63 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 2: was fatally shot in Manhattan outside of his hotel room, 64 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 2: just before he was supposed to speak at a conference 65 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 2: as the CEO of United Healthcare. More when we know it, 66 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 2: whether that was a personal issue or something related to 67 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 2: his professional capacity. Of course, it's Manhattan, so it could 68 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 2: just be that some dude was bored. The trial of 69 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 2: Daniel Penney wrapping up. He's the United States marine who's subdued. 70 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 2: The thug who happened to be black, who was terrorizing 71 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,880 Speaker 2: the New York subway and threatening to kill everyone on 72 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,839 Speaker 2: the subway. News now emerging. I don't know how it 73 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 2: took this long to get out that Jordan Neely, the thug, 74 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,680 Speaker 2: the turd, who he subdued and then died as part 75 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 2: of this submission, was out on an arrest bond for 76 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 2: having beaten up a woman on the subway. Oh yes, 77 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 2: remember they told us what a nice guy he was. 78 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 2: He was of diminished capacity. He'll kill you just as 79 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 2: dead as the next one. Today is forty seven days 80 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:05,359 Speaker 2: till Donald Trump becomes the forty seventh president. Wall Street 81 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 2: Journal reported last night that Ron DeSantis is being considered, 82 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 2: if not the decision already made, to be the replacement 83 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:22,279 Speaker 2: for Pete Hegseth as Secretary of Defense. Now that doesn't 84 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 2: necessarily doesn't necessarily mean that it's true. I suppose we'll 85 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 2: find out in good time. Why can't Pete Hegseth be 86 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 2: the Secretary of Defense? Well, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska is 87 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 2: refusing to vote for him. Republican Susan Collins of Maine 88 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 2: refusing to vote for him. You're going to hear those 89 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:54,919 Speaker 2: two names a lot. Murkowski, You'll recall who claims to 90 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 2: be a Republican and we count her in our caucus. 91 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 2: But Murkowski is the one who lost her father was 92 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 2: the big prominent politician. She lost her primary, her Republican 93 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:15,120 Speaker 2: primary years ago, and ran in November, and just like 94 00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 2: drunk Dad in Beaumont, she managed to get the Democrats 95 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,200 Speaker 2: to vote for her, and so she picked up a 96 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 2: small percentage of Republicans and all the Democrats. So she 97 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 2: won and went back and claims she's a Republican, but 98 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:36,480 Speaker 2: in fact she wasn't supported by the Republican base. She's 99 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 2: been a problem ever since. Susan Collins of Maine is 100 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 2: certainly no conservative, and so again we tend to count 101 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,360 Speaker 2: her in our caucus, but she's going to be a problem. 102 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 2: Senator John Curtis refusing to vote for Pete haig Seth. 103 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 2: Lindsey Graham refusing to vote refusing to vote for Pete 104 00:06:56,720 --> 00:07:00,120 Speaker 2: haig Seth. And you may say, well, why, because Lindsey 105 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 2: Graham masturbates to war and Pete Hegseth does not want 106 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 2: more war, and Lindsey Graham is going to get his 107 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,560 Speaker 2: porn one way or another. Mitch McConnell refusing to vote 108 00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 2: for Pete Hegseth, and John Thune, the new Senate majority leader, 109 00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 2: refusing to vote for Pete Haigseth, which means there would 110 00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 2: be more if a vote is held. If Thune is 111 00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 2: openly opposing hegseeth, there will be others who will fall 112 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 2: in line. They do not report to Donald Trump. That 113 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,840 Speaker 2: is not the person who can do them the most 114 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 2: good or ill. It is John Thune committee assignments favors done. 115 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 2: It is an old boys club. They have some women 116 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 2: in it, but it's an old boys club and they 117 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 2: are clubby and they will do what John Thune, the 118 00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,440 Speaker 2: new Majority leader, wants them to do, just as they 119 00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 2: did for Mitch McConnell. We're going to have some serious, 120 00:07:55,560 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 2: serious problems with the United States Senate over the coming years, 121 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 2: and again in two years, we're going to have to 122 00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 2: primary as many of them as possible. There is a 123 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 2: movement gaining a lot of steam behind the scenes to 124 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 2: replace John Cornyn. Now, replacing John Cornyn unites enough people 125 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 2: to win an election, problem becomes who is that candidate. 126 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 2: If it's Ken Paxton and there is a ground swell 127 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 2: behind Ken Paxton, one and one candidate only, it's possible 128 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 2: to do it. The problem is there's going to be 129 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 2: a lot of people across the country who will name 130 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:41,679 Speaker 2: themselves Texts or Freedom or Sam Houston or Davy Crockett 131 00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 2: or whatever. They may literally change their names. There's a 132 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 2: lot of these guys. They'll be constitutionalists, there'll be secessionists. 133 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:49,520 Speaker 2: They'll be this, they'll be this. There'll be a lot 134 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,480 Speaker 2: of people who will want to run, who won't raise 135 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,200 Speaker 2: one dollar and can't win. It'll be mad everybody doesn't 136 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,200 Speaker 2: support them. But if it's just Ken Paxton, we can 137 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 2: beat Cornick and. 138 00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 9: You listen to this season radio Michael Bare. 139 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,079 Speaker 2: Did I ever tell you what Billy gibbons business card says? 140 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 2: I met Billy Gibbons in about two thousand and five ish, 141 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 2: might have been a little before at Downing Street, Kirby 142 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:26,840 Speaker 2: and West timer a cigar lounge. Say, very cool Garland, 143 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:33,520 Speaker 2: and he said, here, take my card. Took his card. 144 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 2: I didn't look at it right when I took it. 145 00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 2: He walked away and said, Billy Gibbons on one side. 146 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 2: On the flip side friend of Eric Clapton. He didn't 147 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 2: you give a phone number, per se, It just said 148 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 2: friend of Eric Clefton. I asked Crockett what he learned 149 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:57,320 Speaker 2: in school yesterday. I asked Crockett what he learned in 150 00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,840 Speaker 2: school today? He said, apparently not enough because I had 151 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 2: to go back tomorrow. A friend of mine met a 152 00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 2: girl at the bar and she said, would you like 153 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:14,359 Speaker 2: me to show you a good time? And he said yeah. 154 00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 2: She said, all right, we'll come outside with me. They 155 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:19,800 Speaker 2: got outside, she ran one hundred meters in less than 156 00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 2: thirteen seconds. 157 00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:26,200 Speaker 3: BO. 158 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 2: Why did Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer not become the valedictorian? 159 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:42,880 Speaker 2: He went down in history. Mattress mack set to get 160 00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:51,079 Speaker 2: open heart surgery this coming Tuesday. No, unfortunately, that one's 161 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:57,120 Speaker 2: not a joke.

Mac as you may or 165 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:24,360 Speaker 2: may not know, has a passion for medicine. It's very 166 00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,360 Speaker 2: interested in it. He and Bud Frasier, the famous heart 167 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 2: doctor who trained under DeBakey, have had a long standing friendship. 168 00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 2: I think Texas Heart Institute.

It's a 172 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,160 Speaker 2: subject of great interest to him, as you know, he's 173 00:11:58,200 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 2: a survivor.

You you you order the wrong pair of 176 00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 2: underwear and get it wrong, you can always go back 177 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 2: to fruit of the loom or whatever that is. But 178 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 2: when it comes to a person who's going to literally 179 00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 2: lay open your chest and fondle your heart and put 180 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 2: you back together again, you want to get that right. 181 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 2: And so that it turns out will be Methodist doctor 182 00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 2: Gerald Lowry. I mentioned that because I am a believer 183 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:45,839 Speaker 2: in specificity in prayer, and so if you would keep 184 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 2: doctor gerald Lowry the l Owe Roy in your prayers, 185 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 2: I would well, I would certainly appreciate that. And no pressure, Doc, 186 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:01,280 Speaker 2: It's just Mattress Mac, Mattress Mac. I mean, you know, 187 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,920 Speaker 2: just treat it like any other at bat. You know, 188 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:11,680 Speaker 2: you just go in there and do your best. Just 189 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 2: know that now your name has been mentioned. Eat a 190 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,760 Speaker 2: good breakfast that day, Make sure you get a good 191 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 2: night's sleep, make sure you're sufficiently hydrated. You know what 192 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 2: I'm saying. Wear are your comfortable shoes that day? No pressure. 193 00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:33,000 Speaker 2: But this is Mattress mac here. This is kind of 194 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 2: a big deal. And I said, I was just talking 195 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:43,439 Speaker 2: to him, praying with him yesterday, and I said, do 196 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,679 Speaker 2: you mind if I announced it on the air or 197 00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 2: would you prefer I keep it quiet. Of course, it's 198 00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:51,040 Speaker 2: your choice, because our people would like to know so 199 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:55,920 Speaker 2: that they could pray for you. And he said, you 200 00:13:55,960 --> 00:14:00,559 Speaker 2: absolutely can. Thank you for asking any to love me. 201 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,200 Speaker 2: If you could tell them that nothing would make me 202 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 2: feel better, then for them to come in and buy furniture. 203 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 2: I said, I will do just that. I will do that. 204 00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,640 Speaker 2: And he said, tell them I do appreciate their prayers. 205 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,240 Speaker 2: If they're not the praying type, they're good wishes. They're 206 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 2: well wishes. So if you find yourself wanting to write 207 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:27,920 Speaker 2: a little handwritten it doesn't have to be, you know, 208 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 2: a handwritten note goes so so far. My boys know 209 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:34,160 Speaker 2: that I love this, and they they absolutely own me 210 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 2: with this issue. But when I'm doing something, they'll for 211 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,680 Speaker 2: all the we don't buy cards, they make them. But 212 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:44,760 Speaker 2: it may just be a handwritten note. I mean, it's 213 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 2: always just hey, hey, dad, you know this is what 214 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 2: I want you to know. And this was Michael and 215 00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 2: then they date it, and I keep all of them. 216 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 2: They make fun of them, they make fun of me. 217 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 2: I keep all of them in a little drawer where 218 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 2: I dress every morning, and me when any is the 219 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:03,360 Speaker 2: time when I'm just needing a little pick me up 220 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 2: as I'm getting ready that day, and I'll dig in 221 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 2: there and whatever I pull out first, and it will 222 00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 2: be one of those notes in their children's chicken scratch 223 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 2: from when they were seven or eight or seventeen for 224 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:17,320 Speaker 2: that matter. Neither one of them is going to win 225 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 2: handwriting awards, but it comes from the heart and that 226 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 2: boy that goes a long long way. Apparently doctor Lowry 227 00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 2: was trained by doctor de Bakey, as was Bud Fraser. 228 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:37,120 Speaker 2: My guess is Bud Fraser had some influence on which 229 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 2: doctor they finally went with, because I know they had 230 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 2: talked to Saint Luke's and also to this doctor Gerald 231 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:49,200 Speaker 2: Lowry at Methodists to find the right doctor. But I 232 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,760 Speaker 2: think good things are in store. You know, none of 233 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 2: us has promised tomorrow, and we have to live each 234 00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 2: day for the moment. And I'm certainly not ready to 235 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,080 Speaker 2: let go of Mac, and I know you're not as well. 236 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 2: And Houston doesn't want to but I don't think that 237 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 2: Mac has any regrets. I'll tell you that that's not 238 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 2: a fellow that said I'll wait till I'm retired or 239 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 2: I'll wait till this is perfect. I mean, that's a 240 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 2: guy that strings together a lot of today's that creates, 241 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:24,040 Speaker 2: at the end of it quite some legacy. And you 242 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 2: know that that's that's a stalwart, that's something too, that's 243 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 2: something to be extraordinarily proud of. So please keep Mattress 244 00:16:33,000 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 2: Mac in your prayers and doctor Gerald Lowry, who will 245 00:16:36,280 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 2: perform that procedure which will occur on Tuesday, And as 246 00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 2: soon as I know the results that he has come 247 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:51,400 Speaker 2: out of surgery, I will obviously share that with you. 248 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,880 Speaker 2: And oh yeah, he'll be answering phones on them, he'll 249 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 2: do TV interviews, and I guarantee you when he comes out, 250 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 2: he'll still be woozy. He'll still be in that goofy 251 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,240 Speaker 2: gown they put you in where your stuff's dangling around. 252 00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,720 Speaker 2: He won't even care. He might you know what, he 253 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 2: might have had him roll in a sealypostrophedic or whatever and 254 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 2: say and slap the bed and say, just got them. 255 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 2: It's bed. It's bed, but it's comfortable hospital bed is 256 00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:19,320 Speaker 2: not worry. Come, I got one of these sleep great tonight. 257 00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 2: Come come, come by a gallery furniture and oh yeah, absolutely, 258 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:25,879 Speaker 2: And this is his big time of the year.

She know my 266 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:55,240 Speaker 2: wife sat up with so many drugs and nebulizers and 267 00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,080 Speaker 2: steroids and everything. Problem with steroids as you can't sleep. 268 00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,919 Speaker 2: But anyway, I said, I can't come by there.

But I believe he 274 00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:16,280 Speaker 2: is at the store today if you want to go 275 00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:16,680 Speaker 2: by to see it. 276 00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,640 Speaker 9: Yeah, the girls all get pretty at closing time when 277 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:23,840 Speaker 9: you're listening to the Michael Berry Show and it keeps 278 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,640 Speaker 9: sitting up lot of same. 279 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,360 Speaker 2: You know, when that shot and just like that, it's 280 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:36,479 Speaker 2: Mattress mack with it scarlet.

Your things 293 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 8: are arteries to see. There's no arvy cat blocking. So 294 00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,119 Speaker 8: if they go and do the open heart surgery, that 295 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:23,640 Speaker 8: everything proceeds smoothly. So today I'll from one to three, 296 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 8: I'll be in La La Land getting all these checkout checkups. 297 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 2: That that whole contrast process is so fascinating. Whoever came 298 00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:35,560 Speaker 2: up with that was a genius. Ramon said, if you 299 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 2: could please not use the word dyet instead use coloring. 300 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 2: It's not a good time to be using. 301 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:45,000 Speaker 8: That one coloring. Okay, So uh. 302 00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 2: Tell me how you were feeling before. How did you 303 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:53,680 Speaker 2: know this was not just exhaustion fatigue? What made you realize, okay, 304 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:54,879 Speaker 2: I might need to get this checked. 305 00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,520 Speaker 8: Well, I was coughing every night, and I wasn't sick. 306 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,840 Speaker 8: I was coughing a lot every night when I laid down, 307 00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:07,840 Speaker 8: and then it got to where when I laid down 308 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:12,680 Speaker 8: in my temper peegue, I couldn't hardly breathe and had 309 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:17,120 Speaker 8: trouble breathing. So I went to the doctor. They did 310 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 8: a couple of tests, and then they kept getting worse 311 00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:25,680 Speaker 8: and worse. And then they started doing all these tests 312 00:20:25,680 --> 00:20:27,920 Speaker 8: and figured out, I need to have his open heart 313 00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 8: circuit to get these leaflets and whatever they are in 314 00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,159 Speaker 8: your heart that opened the door and let the blood in. 315 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 8: The close the door let the blood out. They aren't 316 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 8: working properly. 317 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 2: So he said that you had obviously a great deal 318 00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 2: of blocking. 319 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:47,159 Speaker 8: I don't know if it's blocking or not, but the 320 00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:51,480 Speaker 8: blood wasn't when the heart pumps, the blood wasn't pumping 321 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:56,959 Speaker 8: back out because the leaflets weren't opening and closing properly interesting? 322 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 2: So that's did you did you did you expect that 323 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 2: this was an open heart surgery correction or did you 324 00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,320 Speaker 2: think you know this is going to be a minor thing. 325 00:21:11,880 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 8: Well, I'd hope that was one of those things they 326 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 8: could go up through your arm or groin and do 327 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,800 Speaker 8: it that way without having to crack me open. But 328 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:23,800 Speaker 8: it didn't work out. So I have lots of confidence 329 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,160 Speaker 8: in the doctor down at the medical center, and lots 330 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:28,239 Speaker 8: of confidence the Good Lord. Hopefully everything will come out 331 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:28,640 Speaker 8: all right. 332 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sure it's going to be absolutely fine.

Through his blood flow a mix 422 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 5: of petrochemicals, small water and conservatism. 423 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,920 Speaker 4: Now broadcasting this ignorance all the way. 424 00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,000 Speaker 5: From New York to Ergon with a heart pulsing in Texas, 425 00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,040 Speaker 5: ladies and gentlemen, Mister Michael Berra. 426 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,439 Speaker 2: Well, we haven't talked about Colony Ridge in a while. 427 00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:45,760 Speaker 2: The head of it was in jail in Waller County 428 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,439 Speaker 2: for a little while and was let out early. But 429 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:52,439 Speaker 2: we go back to Liberty County, which does not have 430 00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:58,119 Speaker 2: an animal control division because apparently they didn't have a 431 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:05,080 Speaker 2: stray dog problem until now. A pack of stray dogs 432 00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:09,960 Speaker 2: has been terrorizing residents of Colony Ridge. Before you think 433 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,719 Speaker 2: this is nothing, you'll have to see the videos that 434 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:15,200 Speaker 2: go with the stories that have been filed by local 435 00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 2: two KPRC. The Sheriff's office is telling residents to shoot 436 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:22,919 Speaker 2: the dogs if they have to defend themselves. And I 437 00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:25,640 Speaker 2: know that dog lovers are probably the most obnoxious group 438 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,679 Speaker 2: of people out there. But if a stray dog is 439 00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 2: terrorizing me or anyone around me, they're being put down 440 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:33,680 Speaker 2: in a second, and you can sit and run to 441 00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:37,120 Speaker 2: peta or whatever else you want. That is what has 442 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,480 Speaker 2: to happen. But here we have it. Here are the 443 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 2: cultural problems that come with illegal alien communities and the 444 00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:53,880 Speaker 2: ramshackle shanties they've built, and the fraud that's going on. 445 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:57,000 Speaker 2: The first story from KPRC TV. 446 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 11: This is video taken on the road fifty two oh 447 00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 11: three in Cleveland. 448 00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:10,480 Speaker 2: The fact that we have to put up with this 449 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:11,200 Speaker 2: is ridiculous. 450 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 11: This woman, who asked not to be identified, says more 451 00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:20,280 Speaker 11: than two dozen straight dogs roam the neighborhood.
