Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's that time, time, time, time, Luck and Load. Michael
Verie Show is on the air. We started a little
something called Demos and Details. It's not the greatest name,
(00:25):
I just I actually wanted people to evangelize why are
you personally voting for Donald Trump? Because I think it's
important to hear, for instance, women's voices, because single women
vote over two thirds Democrat these days, and it's important
(00:49):
that women step forward and say here's how I'm voting,
and here's why. There is comfort in numbers. It's important
for black people to understand, yes, there are plenty of
black people voting for Trump. There are plenty of gay people,
there are plenty of young people. Young people are very,
(01:12):
very moved by fear pressure. They don't like to step
out be different than other people. Gina writes Zara, I'm
happy to be wearing my Trump shirt today that was
brought from you, that was bought from your sight. I
get a lot of dirty looks, but I wear it proudly.
The best reaction I got was from a ninety something
(01:32):
year old woman pumping her fist in the aeroid delight
on her face. Thank you for what you do, by
the way, because I know you want to know. Fifty
year old white woman from Lagrange all in for Trump.
So when you tell someone when you wear a Trump shirt, cap, whatever,
(01:56):
And that's why we sell them on our website, Michael
Barryshow dot com. You can get them in. You can
get him on our side or anywhere else. I'm not
promoting our site. I mean, yes, of course, but I'm
not saying hours or any better. But when you do that,
you are opening a conversation. Sure some people are going
to say, hey, you racist. You've got to let that go. Remember,
(02:21):
there is evil a foot, there is evil, and there
is ignorance. Don't let it ruin your day. Just keep walking.
Susie writes el Casino. I'm a sixty four year old
white woman, retired educator with a master's degree from Pittsburgh,
voting for Trump, as is my thirty year old daughter,
(02:43):
an attorney in Dallas. Her fiance moved here from California.
I was about fifteen miles away from Butler on the
day our president was shot. I was at my nephew's wedding.
The support for Trump in the support for Trump in
Pennsylvania is strong. I'm just I'm going through and reading
(03:08):
one after the other, after the other. And this is
important that you see the diversity. It's diversity based on thought,
not based on identity. Julie Rights, I'm a forty three
year old, white single mom. I'm voting for Trump because
my eight year old daughter told me there's no way
(03:29):
we can allow one of the dumbest people in the
world to run our country. That's enough reason for me.
I like the way you think, Julie. By the way,
we are the only species that allows the dumbest of
the species to lead it. And I mean that it's
(03:50):
the alpha that leads the pack. But we have allowed
it to be the case, and we're to blame. It's
not the left. The left always existed. The difference was
the silent majority. Wasn't silent they silenced the left. We
decided we'd be nice to them. That's the mistake, that's
(04:13):
the error. I want your demos and details. I want
you to share your story with me. Margaret. Yes, wasn't
that a Judy Bloom novel? It's something about oh no, no, no,
say hey God, are you there? It's Margaret? Was that
(04:33):
what it was?
Speaker 2 (04:35):
It's me and Margaret?
Speaker 1 (04:36):
I think it is so it was Hey, God, are
you there. It's me Margaret. Yes, you sound very young
for a Margaret. How old are you?
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Twenty eight?
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Okay, don't tell me, Margaret, Margaret, and let me get
give me three guesses, Margaret Ann No, okay, Margaret, Catherine.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Vivian.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
I still had another guess. I wasn't going to guess, Vivian.
Who are you named for?
Speaker 2 (05:08):
My great grandmother?
Speaker 1 (05:10):
And what was her name?
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Margaret Vivian? She was Margaret Vivian too, Yes, she went
by Vivian though.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Okay, you don't have Vivian's anymore. You hardly have any Margarets.
Although my sons have classmates that have those traditional names
like Mary, Kate and names that you used to hear
in the fifties.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
I like them.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I think it's cool.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I do too, I love them.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
My son's name is John Ross, so well, I like it.
I like it. What's your husband's name? John? What are
your demographics and details, Margaret?
Speaker 4 (05:50):
I am a twenty eight year old white female voting
for Donald J. Trump, for freedom and for a better living.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
And what makes you think he will do everything he
can to ensure that while we were.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Living a lot better before, when he will and that
I mean for three years now, and we still can't
move out of my parents' house.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Because that.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Too high for us to afford groceries and everything else.
So we just want freedom. We want to be able
to live on our own.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
And all of that.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Margaret, that is a very very powerful message, more powerful
than I think you realize, and more common than you realize.
Can you say that again, because I think somebody was
calling in and it blurred out what you were saying.
Can you just make that statement again, please?
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Yes, we have been living with my parents for three years,
trying to op to buy a house, and now we're
actually having to move to probably Katie, out of Houston
to find a house in our price range and to
be able to live. With the high cost of groceries
and everything else, it's really taking a toll on our family.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
I was talking to Eddie Martini, the guy that got
me into radio, and he was we were talking about
his children, who were in their mid twenties, and his
oldest daughter, Bailey, is married to a young man and
they have a daughter, sorry, a son, Palmer. Okay, well
(07:44):
they have a child and they are he tells me
that they're We were talking about the economy, and he
said that there is something called the baby boomer echo,
and this baby boomer echo is driving economic growth right
now because there's a huge swell of people at this
(08:08):
age group mid to late twenties where you are. We've
got to get those people to understand that if you
want a good future, we have to elect Trump and
not elect Kamala Harris, thank you for that call. Wouldn't
the world be a better place if every grown ass
man and lesbian woman pop the top on the drive home?
(08:29):
You bet it would. It's the Friday drive home on
the Michael Berrie Show. We've finished the show. I want
you to do your own demos and details. I want
you to go on your social media and say, hey,
if you're voting for Trump, share with me. Why, Share
(08:51):
with me your age and something about you. How will
it affect you personally? Now you know what really bothers me.
For most of you. You could have one hundred people
respond and ninety nine of them would say I'm with you, Martha, Yes,
I'm voting the way you are. I want Trump. I
(09:11):
want them to say yes, ninety nine of them, and
in that prodigal son at one liberal will go on
and go, y'all sound like a bunch of racists, and
the entirety of the ninety nine people will lose their
minds and the thing will degenerate until the person who
posted it will say, you know what, this is just
(09:32):
too upset ache, and so I'm gonna take it down.
The Left doesn't do that. The Left doesn't do that
at all. They keep powering through. They're not reduced to
tears because somebody doesn't like them for being a Lefty.
They don't take down what they post. They don't live
(09:54):
in fear. And some of you will make excuses, Oh well, Michael, yeah,
because they don't get canceled. Neither would you. You're not
going to get canceled. People say to me all the time,
I don't know how you get away with what you do.
I don't know why I would care. We're going to
take away my job. You're going to take away my
(10:15):
ability to make a living. Do you have any careers
I've had before. I've got talent, I've got confidence, i
have people who support me. I have access to capital,
people that would love to invest in what I'm doing.
I've built, I've forged friendships that are deep. You can't
(10:36):
You can't cancel me, Bertha. You're on the Michael Berry
Show Demos and detailed sweetheart.
Speaker 6 (10:43):
Yes, I'm seventy seven white, and I'm voting for Trump
because I believe the newsletter I received before his first
russial president stated he was the only one left standing
between US and Communism. That's why they're trying to get
rid of him. Somebody is And I remember that letter
(11:04):
on I think I even have it somewhere. That's it.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
You know, you're right. I'm sorry. It's not good in
talk radio when the host stops to think, but you
got me thinking, and that means dead air, and then
people start wondering about the connection. But sometimes it's good
to just stop in the middle of a conversation and process.
And then I start imagining, where's Bertha been in her life?
(11:44):
What kind of things has she seen in her life,
good and bad, that have led her to a point
that she's had twenty four more years on this earth
than I have to process things, experiences and knowledge and
wisdom and guidance. Yeah, thank you for being willing to
call and share your story. We call it given your
(12:06):
testimony in the Southern Baptist Church and it's a very
very powerful part of the religious experience is giving your testimony,
sharing how you ended up where you are. The alcoholics
have as part of their as part of their rehab process,
(12:28):
as part of AA is you stand up and give
your name and then you tell your story, and that
is integral to the experience. A forces someone to kind
of really structure, hey, how did I end up? Where
does this thing go wrong? But it lets other people
(12:48):
say either yeah, I identify with that or whatever. And
all of the addiction related programs have aspects of that.
This idea of sharing person to person is incredibly powerful.
Please don't underestimate that. As we have grown dependent increasingly
(13:17):
on technology, and as we have grown in awe of technology,
a technology that is on pace to replace us. That
is the great challenge of artificial intelligence machine learning is
that at some point the machine becomes more powerful than
(13:37):
the individual, and at some point the machine becomes autonomous
of the individual. And how close to the sun does
icarus want to fly to allow that to happen? And
to what extent can it even be held back? Is
it too far along? You listen to some of the
things Altman says or Elon says, or my friend Michael
(13:58):
Holtause says. You know, this is a game that I
don't know how to play, but it's powerful and you
can't simply stick your head in the ground and hope
it goes away. Because an atomic bomb will land on
Hiroshima when you live there, or the Germans will send
panzers across the Pseudeitan land into Poland when you live there.
(14:23):
You can't just hope it goes away. But the more
and more we become beholden to the machinery of technology, ironically, paradoxically,
we become more in need of human connection. This election
(14:45):
will not be won or lost on algorithms for TikTok videos.
It will be one or lost if we fail to
do what we need to do based on human connection
at the coffee shop, while you're getting your haircut or
while you're cutting hair. We have become too accustomed to
(15:15):
refuse to engage because we fear being canceled. That's on us.
That's not that they're so great, it's that we're so weak.
We've got to change that. We've got to change it now. Laura.
They don't name little girls Laura anymore either. I have
several Lauras in my family demos and detailed sweetheart.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
Okay, I am seventy four years old, white female. I
am certainly voting for Donald.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Trump, as everyone should.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
And I know firsthand why I was blessed and lucky
enough to travel the world when I was twenty one
years old. I've seen nice places and I've seen not
some nice places. We would stopped at point. At many places,
I held soldiers' hands as we took.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Them over to the war.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
People don't understand what we have here. We need to
preserve it, and at this point in time, Donald Trump is.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
The only one who will be able to do that.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
In the future, maybe JD Vance, we have other things
to look forward to if we have our country.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
I'm not interrupting you because I think you still have
more to say.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
What I have to say is that people need to
know this. You try to tell everyone, and I see
I looked at around my neighborhood today and there are
Trump signs today that weren't there yesterday.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
So people are starting to see.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
But you're right, young people with the technology, heads always
on a screen or looking at a screen, or not
getting the right information. It's up to my generation to
tell the people. Some young people still listen to their.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Elders, as you say.
Speaker 7 (17:17):
But like I said, we have a wonderful country, not perfect,
but we are so blessed and people just don't realize it.
Speaker 8 (17:29):
Now, maybe this is a stir of success brought up
in Orange staxas broke ass hole scholarship is way to
two law degrees, including one from her magic Quana elected
three or four times, a lawyer, a hub, a father,
but most of all are ignorant ass asking your seat there,
(17:53):
pop your coat when you get ready for more of them,
mister michaelbare.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
When we finished the show today, I want you to
do your own demos and details. I want you to
start yourself by saying, hey, hey guys, most of y'all
know me. You follow me on this site. But I'm Maddelin.
I'm thirty seven, I'm a mother of three, I'm a wife,
I'm a daughter, I'm a employee at a business, and
(18:21):
I'm voting for Donald Trump. Because I want you to
share why you're voting, the way you're voting, and who
you're voting for. I want you to know that if
you're nasty in your response, I'm going to delete you.
I'm going to block you and block them. You got
to do it. Get the negative people out of your life.
Every day I'll get some email. Hey, man, y'all block me?
(18:45):
Can you reinstate me? I was drunk And sometimes I
will remember the person's name because what they said was
so nasty. Oh you were drunk when you said these words.
Boomoom boom boom bom boom boom. Man. I'm sorry, I
know that. No, you don't get to talk to me
that way. You don't get to call my family members that.
You don't get to insult people that I respect like that.
(19:07):
You're blocked. You're gonna stay blocked, and guess what, I'm
not going to accommodate you. You're a bad person. But
I'm your biggest fan. Be my biggest fan. I'm not yours,
And that's okay. See, we've got to get comfortable with
the idea that everything doesn't have to be we all
accommodate everybody else. No, we don't. Guess what. I think
(19:30):
burglars and rapists and murderers should be put in a cage.
But those people think I'm a bad person for thinking that.
That's okay. They get to think that and I get
to think my way, and I'm going to do everything
in my power to get them put in a cage
and kept there. And I don't need them to agree
with me for that. You don't need everybody to be
(19:50):
happy with everything you do. If everybody's happy with everything
you do, you don't stand for anything. That's the old
Winiston Churchill line. If you haven't made somebody very angry,
then you're not standing for anything. You know, they want
to kill Trump. They just about did. They shut him
(20:12):
in the face, and they've covered the whole thing up.
They're not coming to kill you, and they're not coming
to kill him because they don't like his skin color,
or his hair color or his business. He is exposing
the entirety of the swamp and how intricately it's connected
(20:34):
to finance and tech and media and Ukraine. He is
exposing everything that is happening. He doesn't have to do that.
Bush didn't do it, His father didn't do it. It is
(20:54):
when you start revealing their deep dark secrets of how
they accumulate power and wield it. It is when you
actually stand for something. Folks, You've got a business to
run and children to raise. You've got your own health
to take care of, and your own challenges, and your parents'
(21:16):
own challenges. You've got to try to scrimp enough money
away to survive. You've got to make good decisions, and
you've made that decision. Now I want you to share
that you'd be surprised somebody else is looking at you
for direction. They respect you, they respect who and what
you are. Seven pine three nine nine nine one thousand.
What are your demos and details? John number two, you're
(21:39):
on the Michael Berry Show. Demos and details please?
Speaker 9 (21:43):
Hey, Michael, I am a twenty six year old white man,
and I am voting for Trump because I truly think
the Democrats do not want America to be America. Uh
you know, I know you think I'm young, obviously because
I am. But I don't think the American I grew
up with will be around in the next twenty thirty years,
you know. So that's what I'm doing, That's what I believe.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
You're twenty six, Yes, sir, good on you. You sound
like a young man and has a great head on
his shoulder. You probably have a parent to think for that.
Make sure you do. John number one, you're on the
Michael Berry Show. Demos and details.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Sir, Yes, sir, I'm a white male eighty years old,
still work for eleven and I'll vote for Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
What do you do for eleven?
Speaker 3 (22:33):
I own an air conditioning company.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
It's a hot business right now. Yeah, sure, but I
think it's gonna be cool. But how if they don't,
if they don't get out of the business of strewing
what the radulations are going run? How much has the
how much has the refrigerant, the free on the EPA change,
(23:01):
How much has that affected your business? Because I've got
friends in that business, and boy, they tell me it
has done a number on the effectiveness of the unit,
the longevity of the unit, the cost of the refrigerant.
But talk a little bit about that, because I don't
think people realize, well.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
The R twenty two is the best refrigerant in the world.
Then they went to the fourth end. Now they're going
to the new stuff, and it's driving or a ton
and a half condenser because we do apartments. What costs
like four hundred and fifty dollars, that's like eight hundred
dollars for the same condensing unit. And it just it works,
(23:39):
it doesn't last. I've got the units on my house
that have been on every thirty eight years. Now the
Seier rating doesn't even exist. But they work every day,
so that's you know, it's just they don't last. The
new stuff that does not last, it's a problem. And
the cost is just you got to pass it on
(24:00):
to the consumer. You know, the suppliers give me a
colls for thirty days and that's it, right, I don't
buy ever saying that thirty days everything goes up.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
And you know, you make a good point, John, because
people don't realize. These lefties convince young people and naive
people we have to save the earth. We have to
save the earth. First of all, none of these measures
makes a difference in quote unquote saving the earth, none
of them. They end up not mattering. But more importantly,
(24:37):
they also cost you a lot of money. And people
don't understand that when you don't allow the best product
on the market, but instead you restrict it and say
you have to go over here. When you raid the
Medicare fund to subsidize electric vehicles, boy, you have really
lost your way. And that is exactly what happened.
Speaker 10 (25:00):
Work week in the book, getting you geared up for
the weekend it's the Friday drive home on the Michael
Barry Show.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Chris demos in details, sir, you're up.
Speaker 10 (25:20):
I am a thirty eight year old white male. I'm
voting Trunk because my life was financially better and more
sound when he was in office. He has a clearly
outlined platform that I agree with. He's a strong leader,
and he puts America first, and history reflects all those points.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Very well, said succinct to the point. I hope you
will tell more people that. I hope you would share
that with more people. You have a very direct and
effective presentation. What do you do for a living. I'm
a banker? Interesting, I work in complaints. Okay, I could
(26:08):
see that. I could see. No, he doesn't put the
thing in the tube and swish it over there. They
don't even do that anymore, Ramone. But I bet if
they had, they did, he'd sign up for that duty
when I was a kid. Mama, Mama, can I put
the tube in there?
Speaker 5 (26:27):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Man, I'd love to know. He don't know. Ramon wants
me to ask you what you think the maximum poundage
you could put in one of the tubes was. I
bet you we could find out, you know, what big
as our audience is. I bet you there's somebody out
there that was a repair man for the bank machine,
(26:50):
and they could tell you some stories because you know
that somebody tested it. Some good, honest, honorable redneck said,
I wonder if I could put a hammer in there?
What happened? And the lady said, sir, and she would
have held it up because you looked through there, me,
you look across their at her, Sir, did you put
(27:10):
a hammer in there? No, ma'am, But if you'll send
it along, I sure like to have a hammer. That's
a good looking hammer. Is that a Stanley or craftsman? Uh?
It looks to be a craftsman, it says Murphy on it.
Mister Murphy. Well shoot, it's almost like it's almost like
(27:33):
the universe wanted me to have it. Yes, please do
send it along. You know somebody out there if that
is you, send me an email. Michael Berryshow dot com.
Go to the website. You can send me an email
if you were the repairman, because somebody out there was
the repairman for the swoosh for the bank deal. I
(27:55):
would beg mama, mama, let me do it, Let me
do it, because that was a thrill man, you'd put
it in there, so you probably saw the later versions
from on you don't know, the old fact of old school.
And when it would show up, it would go boom.
It was like in the Jetsons boom. And then you'd
pull it out and it was all scratched up. And
(28:17):
remember it had it had a little it had like
a grab side to it, right. It was built like
an hour glass, right, So you grab that thing and
open it and you spin the top of it, and
then you put your stuff down in there and you
clasp it back and you put it in. You had
to make sure it was put in real nice, and
(28:37):
then you hit the button and it would go and
it would close. And then and watching it, oh man,
that was the best thing going. And then you'd hear
it when it got to the end, and then she'd
open it up. And at the Bank in Orange on
(28:58):
Edgar Brown Drive that we went to, which was right
next to the bowling Alley, across from Gibson Sporting Sporting
Goods and out in front of the movie theater, which
I think was a palace movie theater, but I'm not
positive on that, but there was a I think it
was Palace Lanes. Yeah, it was Palace Lanes, Palace Movie Theater.
And then there was the bank we went to, right
(29:21):
there on the corner of Edgar Brown Drive, across from
the Gifson Sporting Goods and just down from the Circle. Yeah,
that'd be right. But anyway, when you had kids in
there with you, they would when they sent it back,
you'd open it, they'd put two peppermints. WHOA, come to
(29:43):
think of it, why did we just stop eating peppermints?
Do you remember everywhere you'd go, there'd be a peppermint,
and then all of a sudden somebody just said, no
more peppermints. Y'all are having too much fun America's races.
You can have peppermints anymore. And then nobody has peppermints anymore.
(30:04):
Why did that happen? I mean, you'd go somewhere and
you know the other thing. Do you remember how much
you loved the mints at the Mexican restaurants. We didn't
call them text mex back then, were called Mexican restaurants.
They all had the same sign, which was speedinggas aus
(30:25):
his cousin sleeping, Remember leaning against the against the cactus
with his hat down over his head and then the
name of the place, run it and you go in.
They all had that same red carpet with black tint
in there, so you could spill anything you do not
have to clean it. And then your server was just
your server. They couldn't bring you the bill. They didn't
(30:48):
have a toast system where they'd log it in, and
your server would write it on that same pad that
was green, and it had the number down at the bottom,
and he'd tear it off and he'd take it to
the to the kitchen, and then when you were done,
you'd follow your dad up to the glass case where
they'd have little stuff for sale that nobody ever bought.
(31:11):
They'd have like some Mexican candies and stuff and things
like that, and then your dad would take he would
roll the little deal so the so the toothpick could
come out, and if it was a good place, they'd
have a flavored toothpick, a hot cinnamon flavored toothpick. And
your dad, well, he's feeling good because he just bought
the family lunch. That's right Saturday, and he wasn't working
(31:32):
today or after church, and he had just bought the
family lung. He was feeling pretty good about him, said
belly full. Mama's trying to, you know, kind of corral
the kids, and you're you're all kind of sluggish because
you've eaten this text mex meal. And then you get
to take one of the the uh, the little mints,
oh man, and that they would the owner would be
(31:55):
behind there, he'd be bearing wearing away a better and
he would be he was always about the same age,
like mid fifties, glasses kind of baulding on top, combed
over to the side, and polyestra pants and a real
light by a bara and he might have one of
those pads in his in his wie bara pocket too,
(32:16):
with a pen in there too, and then he would tinting, tinting,
chin it would pop it, the amount would pop up
on there. And then later they got the fancy machines
that would roll out the amount of change that you
would do from the rounded number on the cash. Oh, now,
that was that was something special, and he'd give it
to your dad. Your dad would give you some of
(32:40):
it to go put on the table, maybe the coins
in a dollar or two, go put it on the table,
and then you'd slowly head out and it was dark
in there, so when the door would open, that light
would hit you real bright. And it was always a
white stucco, And I think, I think what happened. It
might have been part of the CCC or the Tennessee
(33:01):
Valley Authority or something. They were all built in about
nineteen forty, all those texts. There was Felix on West
tim or in Houston, there was Leo's or Leo's Off
what was that ninety going into Richmond. Did y'all have
one of those? We had one in Orange, Guadalajara. They
were all the exact same place.
It's that time, time, time, time, Luck and Load. Michael
Verie Show is on the air. We started a little
something called Demos and Details. It's not the greatest name,
(00:25):
I just I actually wanted people to evangelize why are
you personally voting for Donald Trump? Because I think it's
important to hear, for instance, women's voices, because single women
vote over two thirds Democrat these days, and it's important
(00:49):
that women step forward and say here's how I'm voting,
and here's why. There is comfort in numbers. It's important
for black people to understand, yes, there are plenty of
black people voting for Trump. There are plenty of gay people,
there are plenty of young people. Young people are very,
(01:12):
very moved by fear pressure. They don't like to step
out be different than other people. Gina writes Zara, I'm
happy to be wearing my Trump shirt today that was
brought from you, that was bought from your sight. I
get a lot of dirty looks, but I wear it proudly.
The best reaction I got was from a ninety something
(01:32):
year old woman pumping her fist in the aeroid delight
on her face. Thank you for what you do, by
the way, because I know you want to know. Fifty
year old white woman from Lagrange all in for Trump.
So when you tell someone when you wear a Trump shirt, cap, whatever,
(01:56):
And that's why we sell them on our website, Michael
Barryshow dot com. You can get them in. You can
get him on our side or anywhere else. I'm not
promoting our site. I mean, yes, of course, but I'm
not saying hours or any better. But when you do that,
you are opening a conversation. Sure some people are going
to say, hey, you racist. You've got to let that go. Remember,
(02:21):
there is evil a foot, there is evil, and there
is ignorance. Don't let it ruin your day. Just keep walking.
Susie writes el Casino. I'm a sixty four year old
white woman, retired educator with a master's degree from Pittsburgh,
voting for Trump, as is my thirty year old daughter,
(02:43):
an attorney in Dallas. Her fiance moved here from California.
I was about fifteen miles away from Butler on the
day our president was shot. I was at my nephew's wedding.
The support for Trump in the support for Trump in
Pennsylvania is strong. I'm just I'm going through and reading
(03:08):
one after the other, after the other. And this is
important that you see the diversity. It's diversity based on thought,
not based on identity. Julie Rights, I'm a forty three
year old, white single mom. I'm voting for Trump because
my eight year old daughter told me there's no way
(03:29):
we can allow one of the dumbest people in the
world to run our country. That's enough reason for me.
I like the way you think, Julie. By the way,
we are the only species that allows the dumbest of
the species to lead it. And I mean that it's
(03:50):
the alpha that leads the pack. But we have allowed
it to be the case, and we're to blame. It's
not the left. The left always existed. The difference was
the silent majority. Wasn't silent they silenced the left. We
decided we'd be nice to them. That's the mistake, that's
(04:13):
the error. I want your demos and details. I want
you to share your story with me. Margaret. Yes, wasn't
that a Judy Bloom novel? It's something about oh no, no, no,
say hey God, are you there? It's Margaret? Was that
(04:33):
what it was?
Speaker 2 (04:35):
It's me and Margaret?
Speaker 1 (04:36):
I think it is so it was Hey, God, are
you there. It's me Margaret. Yes, you sound very young
for a Margaret. How old are you?
Speaker 2 (04:45):
Twenty eight?
Speaker 1 (04:47):
Okay, don't tell me, Margaret, Margaret, and let me get
give me three guesses, Margaret Ann No, okay, Margaret, Catherine.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Vivian.
Speaker 1 (05:01):
I still had another guess. I wasn't going to guess, Vivian.
Who are you named for?
Speaker 2 (05:08):
My great grandmother?
Speaker 1 (05:10):
And what was her name?
Speaker 4 (05:12):
Margaret Vivian? She was Margaret Vivian too, Yes, she went
by Vivian though.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
Okay, you don't have Vivian's anymore. You hardly have any Margarets.
Although my sons have classmates that have those traditional names
like Mary, Kate and names that you used to hear
in the fifties.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
I like them.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
I think it's cool.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
I do too, I love them.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
My son's name is John Ross, so well, I like it.
I like it. What's your husband's name? John? What are
your demographics and details, Margaret?
Speaker 4 (05:50):
I am a twenty eight year old white female voting
for Donald J. Trump, for freedom and for a better living.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
And what makes you think he will do everything he
can to ensure that while we were.
Speaker 4 (06:09):
Living a lot better before, when he will and that
I mean for three years now, and we still can't
move out of my parents' house.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Because that.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Too high for us to afford groceries and everything else.
So we just want freedom. We want to be able
to live on our own.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
And all of that.
Speaker 1 (06:35):
Margaret, that is a very very powerful message, more powerful
than I think you realize, and more common than you realize.
Can you say that again, because I think somebody was
calling in and it blurred out what you were saying.
Can you just make that statement again, please?
Speaker 4 (06:55):
Yes, we have been living with my parents for three years,
trying to op to buy a house, and now we're
actually having to move to probably Katie, out of Houston
to find a house in our price range and to
be able to live. With the high cost of groceries
and everything else, it's really taking a toll on our family.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
I was talking to Eddie Martini, the guy that got
me into radio, and he was we were talking about
his children, who were in their mid twenties, and his
oldest daughter, Bailey, is married to a young man and
they have a daughter, sorry, a son, Palmer. Okay, well
(07:44):
they have a child and they are he tells me
that they're We were talking about the economy, and he
said that there is something called the baby boomer echo,
and this baby boomer echo is driving economic growth right
now because there's a huge swell of people at this
(08:08):
age group mid to late twenties where you are. We've
got to get those people to understand that if you
want a good future, we have to elect Trump and
not elect Kamala Harris, thank you for that call. Wouldn't
the world be a better place if every grown ass
man and lesbian woman pop the top on the drive home?
(08:29):
You bet it would. It's the Friday drive home on
the Michael Berrie Show. We've finished the show. I want
you to do your own demos and details. I want
you to go on your social media and say, hey,
if you're voting for Trump, share with me. Why, Share
(08:51):
with me your age and something about you. How will
it affect you personally? Now you know what really bothers me.
For most of you. You could have one hundred people
respond and ninety nine of them would say I'm with you, Martha, Yes,
I'm voting the way you are. I want Trump. I
(09:11):
want them to say yes, ninety nine of them, and
in that prodigal son at one liberal will go on
and go, y'all sound like a bunch of racists, and
the entirety of the ninety nine people will lose their
minds and the thing will degenerate until the person who
posted it will say, you know what, this is just
(09:32):
too upset ache, and so I'm gonna take it down.
The Left doesn't do that. The Left doesn't do that
at all. They keep powering through. They're not reduced to
tears because somebody doesn't like them for being a Lefty.
They don't take down what they post. They don't live
(09:54):
in fear. And some of you will make excuses, Oh well, Michael, yeah,
because they don't get canceled. Neither would you. You're not
going to get canceled. People say to me all the time,
I don't know how you get away with what you do.
I don't know why I would care. We're going to
take away my job. You're going to take away my
(10:15):
ability to make a living. Do you have any careers
I've had before. I've got talent, I've got confidence, i
have people who support me. I have access to capital,
people that would love to invest in what I'm doing.
I've built, I've forged friendships that are deep. You can't
(10:36):
You can't cancel me, Bertha. You're on the Michael Berry
Show Demos and detailed sweetheart.
Speaker 6 (10:43):
Yes, I'm seventy seven white, and I'm voting for Trump
because I believe the newsletter I received before his first
russial president stated he was the only one left standing
between US and Communism. That's why they're trying to get
rid of him. Somebody is And I remember that letter
(11:04):
on I think I even have it somewhere. That's it.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
You know, you're right. I'm sorry. It's not good in
talk radio when the host stops to think, but you
got me thinking, and that means dead air, and then
people start wondering about the connection. But sometimes it's good
to just stop in the middle of a conversation and process.
And then I start imagining, where's Bertha been in her life?
(11:44):
What kind of things has she seen in her life,
good and bad, that have led her to a point
that she's had twenty four more years on this earth
than I have to process things, experiences and knowledge and
wisdom and guidance. Yeah, thank you for being willing to
call and share your story. We call it given your
(12:06):
testimony in the Southern Baptist Church and it's a very
very powerful part of the religious experience is giving your testimony,
sharing how you ended up where you are. The alcoholics
have as part of their as part of their rehab process,
(12:28):
as part of AA is you stand up and give
your name and then you tell your story, and that
is integral to the experience. A forces someone to kind
of really structure, hey, how did I end up? Where
does this thing go wrong? But it lets other people
(12:48):
say either yeah, I identify with that or whatever. And
all of the addiction related programs have aspects of that.
This idea of sharing person to person is incredibly powerful.
Please don't underestimate that. As we have grown dependent increasingly
(13:17):
on technology, and as we have grown in awe of technology,
a technology that is on pace to replace us. That
is the great challenge of artificial intelligence machine learning is
that at some point the machine becomes more powerful than
(13:37):
the individual, and at some point the machine becomes autonomous
of the individual. And how close to the sun does
icarus want to fly to allow that to happen? And
to what extent can it even be held back? Is
it too far along? You listen to some of the
things Altman says or Elon says, or my friend Michael
(13:58):
Holtause says. You know, this is a game that I
don't know how to play, but it's powerful and you
can't simply stick your head in the ground and hope
it goes away. Because an atomic bomb will land on
Hiroshima when you live there, or the Germans will send
panzers across the Pseudeitan land into Poland when you live there.
(14:23):
You can't just hope it goes away. But the more
and more we become beholden to the machinery of technology, ironically, paradoxically,
we become more in need of human connection. This election
(14:45):
will not be won or lost on algorithms for TikTok videos.
It will be one or lost if we fail to
do what we need to do based on human connection
at the coffee shop, while you're getting your haircut or
while you're cutting hair. We have become too accustomed to
(15:15):
refuse to engage because we fear being canceled. That's on us.
That's not that they're so great, it's that we're so weak.
We've got to change that. We've got to change it now. Laura.
They don't name little girls Laura anymore either. I have
several Lauras in my family demos and detailed sweetheart.
Speaker 5 (15:39):
Okay, I am seventy four years old, white female. I
am certainly voting for Donald.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
Trump, as everyone should.
Speaker 5 (15:47):
And I know firsthand why I was blessed and lucky
enough to travel the world when I was twenty one
years old. I've seen nice places and I've seen not
some nice places. We would stopped at point. At many places,
I held soldiers' hands as we took.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Them over to the war.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
People don't understand what we have here. We need to
preserve it, and at this point in time, Donald Trump is.
Speaker 2 (16:16):
The only one who will be able to do that.
Speaker 5 (16:19):
In the future, maybe JD Vance, we have other things
to look forward to if we have our country.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
I'm not interrupting you because I think you still have
more to say.
Speaker 5 (16:40):
What I have to say is that people need to
know this. You try to tell everyone, and I see
I looked at around my neighborhood today and there are
Trump signs today that weren't there yesterday.
Speaker 2 (16:53):
So people are starting to see.
Speaker 5 (16:56):
But you're right, young people with the technology, heads always
on a screen or looking at a screen, or not
getting the right information. It's up to my generation to
tell the people. Some young people still listen to their.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Elders, as you say.
Speaker 7 (17:17):
But like I said, we have a wonderful country, not perfect,
but we are so blessed and people just don't realize it.
Speaker 8 (17:29):
Now, maybe this is a stir of success brought up
in Orange staxas broke ass hole scholarship is way to
two law degrees, including one from her magic Quana elected
three or four times, a lawyer, a hub, a father,
but most of all are ignorant ass asking your seat there,
(17:53):
pop your coat when you get ready for more of them,
mister michaelbare.
Speaker 1 (18:00):
When we finished the show today, I want you to
do your own demos and details. I want you to
start yourself by saying, hey, hey guys, most of y'all
know me. You follow me on this site. But I'm Maddelin.
I'm thirty seven, I'm a mother of three, I'm a wife,
I'm a daughter, I'm a employee at a business, and
(18:21):
I'm voting for Donald Trump. Because I want you to
share why you're voting, the way you're voting, and who
you're voting for. I want you to know that if
you're nasty in your response, I'm going to delete you.
I'm going to block you and block them. You got
to do it. Get the negative people out of your life.
Every day I'll get some email. Hey, man, y'all block me?
(18:45):
Can you reinstate me? I was drunk And sometimes I
will remember the person's name because what they said was
so nasty. Oh you were drunk when you said these words.
Boomoom boom boom bom boom boom. Man. I'm sorry, I
know that. No, you don't get to talk to me
that way. You don't get to call my family members that.
You don't get to insult people that I respect like that.
(19:07):
You're blocked. You're gonna stay blocked, and guess what, I'm
not going to accommodate you. You're a bad person. But
I'm your biggest fan. Be my biggest fan. I'm not yours,
And that's okay. See, we've got to get comfortable with
the idea that everything doesn't have to be we all
accommodate everybody else. No, we don't. Guess what. I think
(19:30):
burglars and rapists and murderers should be put in a cage.
But those people think I'm a bad person for thinking that.
That's okay. They get to think that and I get
to think my way, and I'm going to do everything
in my power to get them put in a cage
and kept there. And I don't need them to agree
with me for that. You don't need everybody to be
(19:50):
happy with everything you do. If everybody's happy with everything
you do, you don't stand for anything. That's the old
Winiston Churchill line. If you haven't made somebody very angry,
then you're not standing for anything. You know, they want
to kill Trump. They just about did. They shut him
(20:12):
in the face, and they've covered the whole thing up.
They're not coming to kill you, and they're not coming
to kill him because they don't like his skin color,
or his hair color or his business. He is exposing
the entirety of the swamp and how intricately it's connected
(20:34):
to finance and tech and media and Ukraine. He is
exposing everything that is happening. He doesn't have to do that.
Bush didn't do it, His father didn't do it. It is
(20:54):
when you start revealing their deep dark secrets of how
they accumulate power and wield it. It is when you
actually stand for something. Folks, You've got a business to
run and children to raise. You've got your own health
to take care of, and your own challenges, and your parents'
(21:16):
own challenges. You've got to try to scrimp enough money
away to survive. You've got to make good decisions, and
you've made that decision. Now I want you to share
that you'd be surprised somebody else is looking at you
for direction. They respect you, they respect who and what
you are. Seven pine three nine nine nine one thousand.
What are your demos and details? John number two, you're
(21:39):
on the Michael Berry Show. Demos and details please?
Speaker 9 (21:43):
Hey, Michael, I am a twenty six year old white man,
and I am voting for Trump because I truly think
the Democrats do not want America to be America. Uh
you know, I know you think I'm young, obviously because
I am. But I don't think the American I grew
up with will be around in the next twenty thirty years,
you know. So that's what I'm doing, That's what I believe.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
You're twenty six, Yes, sir, good on you. You sound
like a young man and has a great head on
his shoulder. You probably have a parent to think for that.
Make sure you do. John number one, you're on the
Michael Berry Show. Demos and details.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Sir, Yes, sir, I'm a white male eighty years old,
still work for eleven and I'll vote for Donald Trump.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
What do you do for eleven?
Speaker 3 (22:33):
I own an air conditioning company.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
It's a hot business right now. Yeah, sure, but I
think it's gonna be cool. But how if they don't,
if they don't get out of the business of strewing
what the radulations are going run? How much has the
how much has the refrigerant, the free on the EPA change,
(23:01):
How much has that affected your business? Because I've got
friends in that business, and boy, they tell me it
has done a number on the effectiveness of the unit,
the longevity of the unit, the cost of the refrigerant.
But talk a little bit about that, because I don't
think people realize, well.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
The R twenty two is the best refrigerant in the world.
Then they went to the fourth end. Now they're going
to the new stuff, and it's driving or a ton
and a half condenser because we do apartments. What costs
like four hundred and fifty dollars, that's like eight hundred
dollars for the same condensing unit. And it just it works,
(23:39):
it doesn't last. I've got the units on my house
that have been on every thirty eight years. Now the
Seier rating doesn't even exist. But they work every day,
so that's you know, it's just they don't last. The
new stuff that does not last, it's a problem. And
the cost is just you got to pass it on
(24:00):
to the consumer. You know, the suppliers give me a
colls for thirty days and that's it, right, I don't
buy ever saying that thirty days everything goes up.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
And you know, you make a good point, John, because
people don't realize. These lefties convince young people and naive
people we have to save the earth. We have to
save the earth. First of all, none of these measures
makes a difference in quote unquote saving the earth, none
of them. They end up not mattering. But more importantly,
(24:37):
they also cost you a lot of money. And people
don't understand that when you don't allow the best product
on the market, but instead you restrict it and say
you have to go over here. When you raid the
Medicare fund to subsidize electric vehicles, boy, you have really
lost your way. And that is exactly what happened.
Speaker 10 (25:00):
Work week in the book, getting you geared up for
the weekend it's the Friday drive home on the Michael
Barry Show.
Speaker 1 (25:11):
Chris demos in details, sir, you're up.
Speaker 10 (25:20):
I am a thirty eight year old white male. I'm
voting Trunk because my life was financially better and more
sound when he was in office. He has a clearly
outlined platform that I agree with. He's a strong leader,
and he puts America first, and history reflects all those points.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
Very well, said succinct to the point. I hope you
will tell more people that. I hope you would share
that with more people. You have a very direct and
effective presentation. What do you do for a living. I'm
a banker? Interesting, I work in complaints. Okay, I could
(26:08):
see that. I could see. No, he doesn't put the
thing in the tube and swish it over there. They
don't even do that anymore, Ramone. But I bet if
they had, they did, he'd sign up for that duty
when I was a kid. Mama, Mama, can I put
the tube in there?
Speaker 5 (26:27):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Man, I'd love to know. He don't know. Ramon wants
me to ask you what you think the maximum poundage
you could put in one of the tubes was. I
bet you we could find out, you know, what big
as our audience is. I bet you there's somebody out
there that was a repair man for the bank machine,
(26:50):
and they could tell you some stories because you know
that somebody tested it. Some good, honest, honorable redneck said,
I wonder if I could put a hammer in there?
What happened? And the lady said, sir, and she would
have held it up because you looked through there, me,
you look across their at her, Sir, did you put
(27:10):
a hammer in there? No, ma'am, But if you'll send
it along, I sure like to have a hammer. That's
a good looking hammer. Is that a Stanley or craftsman? Uh?
It looks to be a craftsman, it says Murphy on it.
Mister Murphy. Well shoot, it's almost like it's almost like
(27:33):
the universe wanted me to have it. Yes, please do
send it along. You know somebody out there if that
is you, send me an email. Michael Berryshow dot com.
Go to the website. You can send me an email
if you were the repairman, because somebody out there was
the repairman for the swoosh for the bank deal. I
(27:55):
would beg mama, mama, let me do it, Let me
do it, because that was a thrill man, you'd put
it in there, so you probably saw the later versions
from on you don't know, the old fact of old school.
And when it would show up, it would go boom.
It was like in the Jetsons boom. And then you'd
pull it out and it was all scratched up. And
(28:17):
remember it had it had a little it had like
a grab side to it, right. It was built like
an hour glass, right, So you grab that thing and
open it and you spin the top of it, and
then you put your stuff down in there and you
clasp it back and you put it in. You had
to make sure it was put in real nice, and
(28:37):
then you hit the button and it would go and
it would close. And then and watching it, oh man,
that was the best thing going. And then you'd hear
it when it got to the end, and then she'd
open it up. And at the Bank in Orange on
(28:58):
Edgar Brown Drive that we went to, which was right
next to the bowling Alley, across from Gibson Sporting Sporting
Goods and out in front of the movie theater, which
I think was a palace movie theater, but I'm not
positive on that, but there was a I think it
was Palace Lanes. Yeah, it was Palace Lanes, Palace Movie Theater.
And then there was the bank we went to, right
(29:21):
there on the corner of Edgar Brown Drive, across from
the Gifson Sporting Goods and just down from the Circle. Yeah,
that'd be right. But anyway, when you had kids in
there with you, they would when they sent it back,
you'd open it, they'd put two peppermints. WHOA, come to
(29:43):
think of it, why did we just stop eating peppermints?
Do you remember everywhere you'd go, there'd be a peppermint,
and then all of a sudden somebody just said, no
more peppermints. Y'all are having too much fun America's races.
You can have peppermints anymore. And then nobody has peppermints anymore.
(30:04):
Why did that happen? I mean, you'd go somewhere and
you know the other thing. Do you remember how much
you loved the mints at the Mexican restaurants. We didn't
call them text mex back then, were called Mexican restaurants.
They all had the same sign, which was speedinggas aus
(30:25):
his cousin sleeping, Remember leaning against the against the cactus
with his hat down over his head and then the
name of the place, run it and you go in.
They all had that same red carpet with black tint
in there, so you could spill anything you do not
have to clean it. And then your server was just
your server. They couldn't bring you the bill. They didn't
(30:48):
have a toast system where they'd log it in, and
your server would write it on that same pad that
was green, and it had the number down at the bottom,

like that, and then your dad would take he would
roll the little deal so the so the toothpick could
come out, and if it was a good place, they'd
have a flavored toothpick, a hot cinnamon flavored toothpick. And
