AM Show Hr 1 | Birthday Wishes To The Great Rush Limbaugh

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time time time, luck and load.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
So Michael Arry Show is on the air out looking
into Mica week. You gotta feed a bead.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
I don't plan to shave, and it's a good thing,
but I just gotta see.

Speaker 4 (00:30):
I'm doing all right.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Will come make with some boot.

Speaker 5 (00:35):
Its beating ready done and that's the truth. It's neither
drinking a drug induce noool.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
I'm just doing all right.

Speaker 3 (00:47):
It's a great dad.

Speaker 2 (00:49):
Be a nook, suns still shining.

Speaker 5 (00:53):
On a clothes.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Now, stay of Texas. It will be tomorrow when all
the work you've put in to elect a majority of
Republicans in the State House will go toward electing a speaker.
The problem is some of those individuals that you voted

(01:17):
for to go up there and enact the legislation the
agenda that you support, will campaign to your faith on
that promise and will support a candidate so that they
can have a position of authority, so that they can
be the darling of the lobby, so that they can

(01:40):
personally benefit. Will Metcalf, perfect example, Lacey Hall, perfect example.
We have eighty eight Republicans in the state House, sixty
two Democrats. Drunk Dad will not be seeking the speakership

(02:01):
because drunk Dad put Democrats in position of committee chairmanships.
Because drunk Dad dragged the entire House into a personal
vendetta that a few big donors have with Ken Paxton,
the attorney general, who's the most effective attorney general in

(02:24):
my lifetime, doing what he does, battling the Biden administration,
battling bad laws. Nobody can doubt that he has been
incredibly successful. But drunk Dad took his orders from the
big donors who don't like Paxton and haven't since he

(02:46):
first ran against their candidate for State Senate over ten
years ago, and beat them. So you've got the Will Metcalfs,
and you've got the Lacy Halls. So you've got eighty
eight out of one hundred and fifty. You need seventy
six votes to win the Speaker's race. So, as they
always do, they had a Republican caucus meeting of the

(03:07):
eighty eight, the vast majority of them went with David Cook,
but Dustin Burroughs, who was drunk Dad's BENI me is
number two. Dustin Burroughs that since drunk Dad isn't running,
Dustin Burroughs stepped forward as his many me number two

(03:29):
that he would be the guy. They'd really just as
soon put a Democrat up, because the point here is
to give the Democrats committee chairmanships. And the Democrats are saying, well,
we don't know if we're going to vote for Boroughs
or not. He's got to commit to this, this and this.
Now here's where it's going to get interesting. This is

(03:50):
the scuttle butt over the weekend that if the republic
if a minority of Republicans team up with the Democrats
to elect Dustin Burroughs, Boroughs would have been elected by
the Democrats. If that happens, those Republicans are going to

(04:12):
have a target on them. But that's okay. They lost
a bunch of their members this last time for what
they did for drunk Dad and the impeachment. They're figuring,
as is the case, they'll all become lobbyists, because that's
how that works. Paul Ryan when he lost out in Washington,
what did he do? Became a lobbyist. It's what they

(04:34):
all do. But here's where this gets very interesting. If
the Democrats don't go with Boroughs and they're holding out,
the Democrats want a commitment that there will be Democrat
committee chairmanships, and they want it. They want that public

(04:57):
Republicans can't do that. The Republican caucus wants a vote
before they vote for speaker that there will not be
Democrat committee chairmanships. The Democrats want it to say there
will be Democrat committee chairmanships. If that vote is held

(05:18):
before the speakers vote, then the folks voting for Burroughs,
the drunk Day loyalists, they would have to vote in
favor of Democrat committee chairmanships instead of just waiting until
there are Democrat committee chairmanships and say, well, that's what
the speaker did. I don't agree, but that's what the
Speaker did, but he was your speaker when that was
known all along. Which of those two happens is going

(05:42):
to have a big effect on the speaker's race. Now,
before a speaker is elected, when the House meets, when
the session opens the first day, first moment, the Secretary
of State presides. That is now Jane Nelson, who used
to be a state senator that's appointed by the governor.

(06:05):
There are a handful of people who suspect that there
won't be a speaker chosen tomorrow, which would mean that
Jane Nelson would preside over the entire meeting, and that
that could even continue for some period of time, that
she would be sort of a compromise candidate. Jane Nelson
is no conservative. Let me be very clear on this.

(06:27):
She might have been a Republican, but like many Abbot appointees,
she's a squish. But let's leave that there for a moment.
If in fact, that happened, and I don't think that's
going to happen. If that happened, you probably wouldn't get
much done other than a budget in a couple of
little you know, the kind of things that make everybody

(06:49):
happy that they passed a bill. And we really really
really really love the flag. I thought we had a
bill last session that said we like, we love the
flat Yeah, but we didn't have all the varies in there.
We really really really we didn't have all the realies.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
We really really really really really loved the flag.

Speaker 2 (07:07):
And then Will Metcalf can come back to Montgomery County
and say, I went to Austin and I fought for you,
and I fought for the flag, And people who don't
know any better, they're like, yeah, and I fought for God,
and I fought for the veterans, and I fought for

(07:28):
the great state of Texas. And I fought for you
and your families and hard working people. And I fought
for grit An American spirit, for Paul Revere, Mickey mantle

(07:50):
reperto Clementine, the Yankee Clipper, Joe Demasha. I fought for
Astra World. Anybody like Astra Yeah, give it that brast World.

Speaker 6 (08:02):
Yes.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
I fought for good work Boots America.

Speaker 3 (08:09):
I fought for having all the playoff games back to
back to back staggered so you wouldn't have to flip
back and forth. I fought for games on Prime and
the networks send me back again.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
From Levisians to librarians, everyone listens to Michael Berry.

Speaker 7 (08:29):
Show readings and welcome. Great to have you here.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
It's Rush Limbaugh, the.

Speaker 4 (08:47):
EiV Networking Hi, this is Amy from Ohio, and I
want to give a shout out to my adoptive dad,
Rush Limbaugh. He taught me more about my civic duty
than anyone ever could, and for that I'm grateful.

Speaker 6 (09:01):
Conservatives are not opposed to regulation, but regulation has to
be based on the fact that the individual is best
left alone to take care of himself in the pursuit
of daily aspects of life, education, job, or whatever. We
don't make the assumption we look at some people because
of their race, sex, cretor what. We don't say that
person can't do it, that person needs us, that person
needs a government program, that person needs somebody helping them,

(09:22):
because that's not really what those people are after. They're
after a power and control over those people's lives, making
them as dependent as possible. The reason why this matters
to me is I want a greater country. A country
is made up with great people pursuing excellence, doing the
best they can. It is the people who makes the
country work, not government programs.

Speaker 8 (09:39):
Hey, Michael, this is Rusty from San Antonio out here.
I'm a trucker with my German shepherd river Man. I
really love that guy and miss him, miss him steel,
And I'm glad that you get it, and I'm glad
that you honor him, which we could build a statue
or some kind of monument to him.

Speaker 9 (09:56):
Ex cept except the exception to the rule is what
American exceptionalism is. And because of this liberty and freedom
that our country exists, because the founders recognized it comes
from God. It's part of the natural yearning of the
human spirit. It is not granted by a government. It's

(10:18):
not granted by Putin, it's not granted by Obama or
any other human being. We are created with the natural
yearning to be free, and it is other men and
leaders throughout human history who have suppressed that and imprisoned
people for seeking it.

Speaker 7 (10:33):
The US is the first time in the history.

Speaker 2 (10:37):
Of the world where a government.

Speaker 9 (10:39):
Was organized with a constitution laying out the rules that
the individual was supreme dominant, and that is what led
to the US becoming the greatest country ever because it
unleashed people to be the best they could be, unlike
it had ever happened. That's American exceptionalism.

Speaker 5 (10:57):
Hey, Michael, it's Michael in the Geen, Texas. I remember
listening to that final Christmas Eve of Rushes, and I
remember the tears of the flowing Dona face.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
I was vacant.

Speaker 4 (11:10):
This is those the last time I ever get to
hear the Great Rush.

Speaker 7 (11:16):
Has anybody ever heard of Barack Hussein Obama? Do you
remember Rush Limbaugh?

Speaker 8 (11:21):
He used to call it.

Speaker 7 (11:22):
Kids, say, ladies and gentlemen.

Speaker 8 (11:24):
Today we'll be talking about.

Speaker 7 (11:25):
Barack Hussein Obama.

Speaker 8 (11:28):
That was Rush we miss Rush, we miss Rush.

Speaker 7 (11:33):
We got the Presidential Medal of Freedom that beautiful night.

Speaker 8 (11:36):
Do you remember that playing mass J Rush? We need you.

Speaker 7 (11:40):
Rush folks, thank you so much.

Speaker 9 (11:43):
I wish there were a way to say it other
than thank you.

Speaker 2 (11:47):
You're just the best.

Speaker 7 (11:49):
My family is just the best.

Speaker 4 (11:52):
Thank you.

Speaker 2 (11:59):
Yesterday was he's seventy fourth birthday of the great Rush Limbaugh.
I've learned from folks like Marcus Latrell the greatest honor
you can pay to those no longer with you is
to remember to never forget, and we never forget. Later

(12:23):
in the show, I will ask you to call, so
be thinking about it. Don't call yet, you can email.
Later in the show, we will do a lightning round
of your favorite Rush memory, where you listen how you
found the show. One of the things I enjoy the
most is folks telling me that they would listen in

(12:44):
the back seat and didn't want to hear Rush necessarily,
but mom or dad did. Mom or dad was taking
you back and forth to school and ball practice, or
if you had shared custody, or on the way to
the grandparents, or on the way to the doctor's office,
or whatever else, and Rush would be on the middle

(13:05):
of the day, and they found that once they grew
up and left the house, they didn't listen to Rush. Well,
would they focused on school, military, or work. Then a
few years later they found themselves coming back to their

(13:27):
core beliefs, and lo and behold, a few years later,
once they got grown up a little bit, they would
listen to Rush themselves. We called them Rush babies. We've
been at it long enough now that I have people
who will tell us that they were listening as a kid,
often against their wishes, and now they've come back to

(13:49):
the show after these years, and some of them kept
listening through school and beyond. We will be talking about
the speaker's race a bit more later in the program.
Since we're on the subject of scuttle butt. The rumor
has it that the that being considered for US Attorney

(14:14):
just a presidential appointment. Alamdar Hamdani, who was the current
US Attorney, appointed by nominated and approved by Joe Biden,
that he's stepping down knowing that the US Attorney would
that he would be replaced, and that in high consideration

(14:39):
is former District Attorney Kim Ogg. That's what I'm hearing.
That's not final, but that is definitely what I'm hearing.
And there is further credibility to what I shared with
you a week or two ago, and that is that

(14:59):
count Commissioner's Court rumor is that Lena Hidalgo will be
stepping down. It's being worked out exactly the date and
how to happen, but that she will resign because she's
she's at her wits ends. She's had enough mental health

(15:21):
episodes that I think she has come to realize that
she can't do the job any longer and that it's
not good for her, and I don't think she's enjoying it.
She's been on an extended honeymoon of some sort or
another for most of the last year. Anyway, she just

(15:42):
got married, and my understanding is that their financial situation
and her mental situation are such that she can afford
to step down, and that he wants her to step down,
and that she is now at the point where she
doesn't want to do the job anymore, so she will

(16:04):
be resigning. The expectation is that Rodney has chosen Rodney,
Ellis has chosen Ed Gonzalez, and Rodney's the one coordinating
all this, that he has chosen Ed Gonzalez. But the
wild card in there is that he's going to talk
to Erica Lee Carter Shela Jackson, Lee's daughter, and if
she wants it, that's who he's going to push. And
I'm not joking.

Speaker 1 (16:26):
The King of King continues on The Michael Berry Show,
SAT Representative Brian Harrison is one of the good guys, Okay,
one of the very very good guys.

Speaker 2 (16:41):
One of about five guys that is in our corner
that is a MAGA guy, that's a Tea party guy,
that's a grassroots guy that's actually fighting for the agenda
that we voted for and that all the Republicans campaigned on.
They just get there and go, well, you have to

(17:01):
understand governing is different than campaigning, and you know it's
a lot harder once you get up here. Well, then
stop campaigning on what you knew wasn't true. But Brian
Harrison does good work. Former HHS Director Brian Harrison. Representative
Brian Harrison, Welcome to the program.

Speaker 5 (17:20):
Michael Berry. Good morning. Always great to be with you,
my friend.

Speaker 2 (17:24):
So tell me where we are for tomorrow. I've had
a number of conversations and well, you know what, I
won't go into what I believe, where I believe we are,
and what I believe is going to happen. If you
were to handicap, Now, what do you think happens?

Speaker 5 (17:42):
You know what, If anybody tells you with any real certainty,
I'm not sure you should trust them on too many
other things. There's a lot of moving pieces right now.
And let me tell you what is happening. And it's
perhaps the most disconcerting and upsetting aspect of this whole thing.
It appears that a horrible, embarrassing, disgusting tradition in the

(18:04):
Texas House is likely to continue tomorrow no matter who wins,
and that a group of Democrats is likely to be
the deciding voice and vote on who selects the next
Republican speaker of the Republican dominated Texas House are representatives,
and I'm just very concerned with what kind of deals
may or may not be being discussed right now to

(18:25):
win over these twenty or thirty five Democrats. And you
mentioned that you're opening there, Michael, I got to be honest,
I was laughing here. You almost gave me PTSD for
my freshman orientation. After I got elected after working for Trump,
I was sat down and told now, listen here, governing
is a lot different. You got to sit down and
be quiet, and if you want to be effected, you
got to love the Democrats and give the Democrats what
they want. That's the only way to this place works.

(18:48):
And obviously that didn't take with me. But I've never
seen anything in my life, Swampy or Michael, than candidates
for office put the word Republican by their name, go
out and campaign in primary seasons saying vote for me.
I'm going to stand up to the radical left that
wants to indoctrinate the next generation. Vote for me. I'll
fight against the Democrats. They are going to deprive your

(19:08):
kids and grandkids of liberty. And then as soon as
they get in office, they go to the floor of
the Capitol and they vote to put those various same
Democrats in position of power. And I fear we might
be seen a repeat of that right now.

Speaker 2 (19:21):
So my understanding is you've got about thirty Democrats holding
out that will end up with Boroughs, but they're holding
out for now, and obviously without those Democrats, Boroughs can't win.
He has to have the Democrats to win because he
doesn't have a majority of Republicans and he doesn't have
seventy six of the eighty eight Republicans. What exactly those

(19:43):
Democrats holding out for? Is it purely Democrat committee chairmanships
or what is it?

Speaker 5 (19:50):
Well, that's what some of us are not very clear
to us, Michael. And let me.

Speaker 8 (19:56):
Make the story a little bit worse for you.

Speaker 5 (19:59):
Because of the walk out, the temper tantrum by the
pro Democrat elements and the Republican caucus down here, going
and sitting storming out of our caucus meeting and sitting
down and cutting a deal with the Democrat caucus led
by liberal Democrat Dustin Burroughs. The reality is that for
either candidate to win right now, it looks like they

(20:19):
need those thirty plus Democrat votes. And so again I'm
really concerned with who on which team is potentially promising
what liberal concessions to get them, because this is the point.
If we want to reform the Texas House and turn
it from what it's been since I got here three
years ago, which is it? And I make no bones
about this. The Texas House under the failed liberal leadership

(20:41):
of Bonning and Feeling has become a corrupt den of
liberal dysfunction. But the only way to really fix that
we have got to get the liberal Democrats out of
being part of the governing coalition in the Texas House.
Democrat Committee chairman and I one of the allowed us
to it. It's a problem, but it's not the problem.

(21:03):
It's just a symptom of the bigger problem, which is
the deal that is cut to secure Democrat votes for
a Republican speaker. All kinds of other things are promised,
like conservative bills are going to die, liberal pro socialist
bills are going to sail through. That's the core that's
got to stop. We have got to have a Republican
House that is governed by Republicans. And you know what, Michael,

(21:25):
I don't think it's too much to ask, and I
think your listeners would agree with me. I don't think
the Democrats should have a darn thing to do with
selecting the Republican speaker of the Republican tause of representatives
in the Republican state of Texas.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
And I don't think any voter that voted for you
or Will Metcalf or Lacey Hull or David Cook or
any other Republican believes they should either. And that's what's infuriating.

Speaker 5 (21:55):
Correct, when voters go into the ballot box and they
list to what Republicans say during the primary. And you
know what, Michael, You've been watching this a long time.
Every one of my Republican colleagues, they go out to
the voters and campaign is a small government, pro liberty
conservative that's going to fight the radical left. But the
problem is way too many of them when they get

(22:17):
an office. So you have to make a choice. I'm
gonna tell you this, every politician at every level you
get elected, you got to make a choice. You can
either be popular in the swamp or you can do
what's right in fight for the liberty of the next
generation of Texans.

Speaker 2 (22:32):
It is just that simple. I saw it when I
was elected to Houston City Council, which is very similar
to what y'all are going through. And some of the
lobbyists are the same exact people. And I realize you
go from being out at at neighborhood association meetings and
various association meetings and voters to going into city council

(22:55):
and the voters go back to their jobs and their work.
Now all of a sudden, there's a swarm of these
people and they've got checks for you now that the
election's over, and some of them give you checks before that,
but they want to have lunch at this and dinners
at these nice steakhouses, and all of a sudden your
life changes, and the only people you're around is not
those people that sent you there. It's this new group

(23:17):
of friends who are telling you how smart and clever
you are and that are going to help you in
your re election. And some of those folks go up
to Austin as you know, a lot of them, including Republicans,
and they fall prey to it.

Speaker 5 (23:31):
You know what, Michael, you hit the nail on the
head because when you run, so all of us in
the Texas House, we have the high honor and privilege
of representing two hundred thousand Texans, give or take. And
the problem is, even when some of these folks run
for office, maybe they've got good intentions, maybe they really
were a conservative at one point, but the problem is
they go from being around their friends and their neighbors

(23:53):
and people with like, you know, minds and like visions
of the world, and all of a sudden they're peer
group is the Austin swamp, the lobbyists, the bureaucrats, who,
by the way, really run government. I mean the elected official,
that's the whole side thing. But we've got to clip
the wings of the unelected bureaucrats and our liberal state
agencies down here as a total asside. Every state agency
in Texas should be run by a real conservative. That's

(24:15):
not the case today. But the problem is they start
forgetting that it's the folks back home that punch their
name on a ballot card that is their ultimate boss.
It's them, it's their kids, it's their grandkids, it's the
liberty of those people that they should be making every
decision based on in Austin. But instead you hit the
nail on the head, Michael. They get down here and

(24:37):
their new peer group, all these new friends that can
take them out if they want to, because there's no
limits in Austin.

Speaker 2 (24:42):
It's the wild West.

Speaker 5 (24:42):
You can go have a lobbyist take you out to
one thousand dollars dinner every night. You can get on
junkets paid for by the liberal special interests. You can
have the media in Austin and across Texas right glowing
profiles on what a statesman you are. But the only
thing you got to do is let them control how
you vote. As far as I'm concerned, that's an ante

(25:03):
that I was not willing to pay. I got four
kids under ten, and I'm going to be damned if
I let them grow up in a state that does
not prioritize their liberty.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
They Representative Brian Harrison. Good luck tomorrow.

Speaker 5 (25:13):
Great to be with you, my friend. God bless you,
and God bless Texans, all.

Speaker 10 (25:17):
Great cities in between.

Speaker 2 (25:18):
The Michael Berry Show is nwide.

Speaker 8 (25:25):
Revel rain.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
For over twenty years, back when I was on Houston
City Council, we have had problems with the drug lab
in the city of Houston. When HPDE officers arrest somebody
and it may not even be a drug crime. Primarily

(25:54):
it might be that they go into a home and
a guy's beating us not out of his woman, or
they're here illegal aliens. A lot of the illegal aliens
are actually just mules and traffickers of drugs. So when
they they take possession, do the officers of those drugs

(26:15):
because they're going to be used in court. You've seen
the forensic TV shows, they're close enough to reality. And
what was happening under Lee P. Brown, who was horrible.
I mean horrible. Mayor Lee Brown was elected in nineteen
ninety seven because Sylvester Turner hadn't been elected in nineteen

(26:39):
ninety one in the City of Houston believed. Voters believed, well,
or the powers that be believe, the downtown interests believed
you got to have a black mayor. Can't be a
major American city if you haven't had a black mayor.
All the major cities we're having black mayors had already

(27:00):
had one. Now, interestingly, it didn't have to be this way,
but all those black mayors not orders. Many of those
black mayors were horrible. And the problem is it's because
they're chosen by the same process that Sila Jackson Lee
came out of to be a congressman and then Sylvester
Turner replaced her. They're chosen by a power structure of

(27:25):
inside dealers who are the Black Affirmative Action Program directors.
The Rodney ellisis that's why you get black elected officials
that are so bad. It's not that there aren't good
black leaders, it's that those people are frozen out of
the black political power structure of the Democrat Party that

(27:48):
doesn't want good Black elected officials. No way, no how
uh huh. We don't want those guys around here. Those
guys are ethical, that'd blow the whistle on us. Those
guys are like Trump to the Bush Republican Party to
the Romney Republican Party. We can't have them that make

(28:08):
us look bad. So Lee P. Brown was chosen, and
Lee P. Brown was made mayor nineteen ninety seven, and
it was an inside deal. All the lobby money got
behind him, ran against Rob Mossbacker, and under his tenure

(28:31):
continued a policy of underfunding the crime lab, which meant
that evidence in crimes. In fact, we had this come
up last year. We're rape kits. Can you imagine your wife,
your daughter, your sister, your mother is raped and you

(28:55):
want to catch that son of a bitch so bad
you wish instead of sending him to prison, just give
you ten minutes with him and a crowbar, or maybe
you could do it with your own hands. I'd need
a crowbar do the kind of damage I'd want to do,
and maybe a lighter in some gasoline. But that's a
different story. And there were leaks in the crime lab

(29:22):
that allowed the evidence to be destroyed, and that evidence
is what enables you to win in court when you
finally catch the guy. So you can imagine how frustrating
this is. Way back then, we funded a crime lab
redo that was going to protect the evidence. And by

(29:47):
the way, this isn't the Houston police officer's fault. This
is much bigger than the officers themselves, not even their
issue anymore. So now we find out that after all
all this, and this happened with the rape kits and all,
now we've got a drug addicted rat infestation in the

(30:08):
property room that is raising questions about the integrity of
criminal cases. It'd be funny if it was. No, it's funny.
Doctor Peter Stout of the Houston Forensic Science Center says,
it's hard getting rid of the rodents. They're drug addicted rodents.
They're tough to deal with. You don't say the story

(30:31):
from ABC thirteen, a.

Speaker 11 (30:34):
Short tour of the HPD property room shows a cramped
space bursting at the seams, with one point two million
pieces of evidence, thousands of bikes, rows of old tires,
case files, old safes and luggage, and thousands of pounds
of drugs.

Speaker 3 (30:51):
We got four hundred thousand pounds of marijuana in storage
that the rats are the only ones that join it.

Speaker 2 (31:02):
So let's go to work.

Speaker 11 (31:05):
The mayor seemingly cracking a joke but really revealing a problem.

Speaker 10 (31:09):
They've had professional exterminators involved. But this is difficult getting
these rodents out of there. I mean, think about it.
They're drug addicted rats. They're tough to deal with.

Speaker 11 (31:21):
The Houston Forensic Science Centers doctor Peter Stout saying it's
an issue. Many property rooms face.

Speaker 10 (31:27):
Rodents, bugs, and fungus, all kinds of things. Love drugs.

Houston Police chief no idea as it says they first
discovered rodents among drug evidence in October, but says the
problem is confined.
