Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. So
Michael Very show is on the air. But I think
(00:36):
that to drive.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Through the week.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
It's the d n C this week, although several of
you suggested the slogan for the Democrat Convention, since they're
giving away abortions, get a d n C. At the
d n C. You have to laugh because otherwise you'll
go crazy because they don't respect you in life. You
(01:02):
know who isn't struggling to buy groceries and pay rent?
You may be, but Vladimir Vallensky. Zelensky is not. He
is not struggling one bit, and that's got to be
very funny to him. Of all the countries wanting America's largees,
and there's there's Zelenski getting two point three trillion dollars
(01:29):
of your money. That's supposedly the all end now seems high,
but I suppose we'll see. Anyway. We have to pace ourselves.
It's a big week, a lot going on, So I
thought we'd pull back for a moment on the terrible
news because you don't want to start the day with that,
(01:49):
do you? And do it? I truly believe. Now, remember
the rules before you call be ready to get right
to it. I'm good, you're good. It's not a meetia
on the street. I'll ask you, what do you truly believe?
And you will say I truly believe. And you need
to be able to say that in a sentence. If
(02:10):
you're really wound up and it's going to be a
theory that's going to take eight minutes to tell. That's
not an I truly believe. Call? All right seven one
three nine nine nine one thousand. Seven one three nine
one thousand. I may go to you after your comment,
or you may be put on hold, which means that
(02:32):
we're dumping the call. Well, why don't you just dump
the call, Ramon, because if we dump the call, the
person thinks they were cut off early. So if you
put back on hold, you know, Okay, I'm done. We're
moving to the next person. All right, seven one three
nine nine nine one thousand. It's a I truly believe
seven one three nine nine nine one thousand. But first,
(02:53):
how you how you learn?
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Is his Shirley Q Licko. You know, I load up
the Cadillact yesterday and took all the nineteens of my
children down.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
There to the beach or It was a long drive.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
And that cadillact kept trying to short out on me, sparking,
you know, we don't.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Like that heat no more than I do.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
And we finally got down there and put on our
swimming suit, and them children just scattered, you know, just
nineteen different directions there they go. I said, Lord, I'm
gonna blow whistle at the while, and whoever show up
in this car is getting to go home, and the
rest of y'all on yall own, okay, Because we had
brought the ice chins with us, you know, and with
me and Watusa sat out there on our blankets, you know,
(03:37):
and we was drinking my liquor, and she said, listen, bust.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
That watermelon open. I said, all right, that girl.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
And we went and got that thing and we didn't
barely have a nice fudd and we just had to
use our fingernails to get it started cracking.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
And then she popped that thing opened.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
That watermelon split in two and blessed by the Lord,
I swear to face the g Jesus was on that thing.
And I said, oh, my goodness, you say you see that?
And she said, yes, I do, and her mouth was
just drooling, and she said, what the Bible saying is
time for communion? I said, I know that's right, honey.
(04:16):
Before you know, we lip locked down on the Lord.
Yes we had and it was good too, So thank
you Jesus. Oh yes, Lord, you tell your mama and
then my sea hunt to meet sometime.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
It was too And all the Michael Berry Show presents
are truly.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Jesus.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
It's another exciting ndition of I truly believe. Reminder, this
is an opportunity to say, what do you know to
be true, whether serious or funny, that the media can't change.
I truly believe that boys or boys and girls are
girls and you cannot change that. Oh you can. You
(05:15):
can mutilate, you can cut up, and if an adult
chooses to do that, that's their business, but not a child.
Boys belong playing against boys in sports, and only girls
against girls. There are lots of things I truly believe,
and nothing the Orwellian media can say will change that
(05:38):
for me. Not one thing, David, What do you truly believe, sir?
Speaker 5 (05:44):
I truly believe the Democratic Party stole the twenty twenty
election and was behind the attempt to assassinate President Trump.
Speaker 6 (05:53):
You know.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
It had to be a government job, because if you
think about it, it had government job written all over it.
They botched it. They they couldn't do it right. If
it had been if it hadn't been the government, they
would have killed it. Thank goodness it was the government.
(06:16):
Seven one thousand, Gary, you're on the Michael Berry Show.
It's not truly believed. What do you truly believe?
Speaker 7 (06:26):
Hey, michaels Is Gary, thirty year Army veteran, U now retire,
living uh in the Woodlands. I truly believe that this
country needs to do three things. One we need a
third party to We need to limit campaign contributions that
buying elections.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
That's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Oh no, I don't think he got any of the
concepts any of it. I don't think any of the
I truly believe formatt appeals to him, Jerry, what do
you truly believe?
Speaker 5 (07:10):
I truly believe all my deep shots and pickleball are
hitting the back line and I think cheated. I know
they're in, they look in, but I have to just
go with the call because I'm on the other side
of the court, and how would I know there is
I think I'm being cheated.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Well, I think you might be playing with Clay Pool
and Clay Connley because they call a lot of my
shots out that I am certain or not out certain
they're not out, especially when I'm on a roll. Ladies,
where are you? You don't truly believe anything? Women are
always grossly underrepresented in the I truly believe, and I
(07:47):
don't know if if getting right to the point is difficult,
I don't know if they don't hold strong opinions. I'd
like to know seven on three nine nine nine one thousand, Steven,
what do you truly believe?
Speaker 7 (07:58):
Hey, Michael, I want to piggyback off what you were saying.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
And I truly believe it's our.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Job as parents to raise the kids right, to teach.
Speaker 7 (08:04):
Them right from wrong, and not the school, not anybody else,
but as parents to do that.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
You know, Stephen, I get so many comments from people
who were upset with the fact that the school's not
doing their job, and fine, I agree, But if you
I've never had a problem. My kids don't come home
questioning their sexuality. My kids don't come home questioning America's
(08:32):
role in the world, because guess what I do my
job When you're driving places. That's an opportunity to coach
your kid and teach your kid and raise them up
in the ways of your values. But if you're not,
you're waiting on the teachers. Yeah, you're real. Man four
our assistant from The Michael Berry Show and other leading companies.
(08:54):
Houston's own Johnny Nash was born on this day, eighty
four years ago eighteen forty. As a teenager, he performed
regularly on Arthur Godfrey's Variety show, landed a series of
minor hits. He told me his father would come and
(09:15):
pick him up at school to take him to the
Channel the KPRC studios when school was over, but he
would stay in the car since he was a limo driver,
so people would think that Johnny had a limo. He
was trying to give him the impression that he was
a star. So when he would pull up the Channel two,
(09:38):
they would just see this little kid hop out go
in to do his afternoon performance, and they thought, Wow,
he'd got a limo. His dad was a limo driver
and was taking that time to try to make his
son into a star, and he did with his nineteen
seventies reggae hits. I can see clearly now a breakout
(10:00):
hit and Stir It Up, which was written and later
recorded by Bob Marley, who he would discover while in Kingston, Jamaica.
Sandy Peterson, our research director, writes preliminary observations on this
week's d NC Number one, Downtown businesses in Chicago have
(10:23):
boarded up in preparation for the festivities. Milwaukee businesses didn't
need to do that. Number two. Democrat delegates are having
to go incognito otherwise the Hamas Horde will get to them.
That's true, They're having to hide as they go. In
number three, I feel sorry for Lena Hidalgo's cat, saying
(10:46):
she might be an emotional support cat. That might be
why she's with her. Number four. While Democrats have always
wanted a blood sacrifice of abortion, this is the first
time they're actually holding an abortion sacrament during the mask.
To annoint Kamala sacrifice to Moloch and Ball At number five,
(11:07):
I think Kamala Harris is a functioning alcoholic. There is
more and more emerging from the people around her. Ron Klain,
who was really Joe Biden's brain, the guy who's making
decisions during the Biden administration, has said that she has
no business being president, and he has said some very
(11:28):
harsh things, and I think he would know better than anyone.
Apparently she is drunk a lot, and apparently a lot
of the time you see her rambling and stammering and
cackling and giggling. She's your wine aunt, you know, the
woman who comes over the afternoon and drinks rose, or
(11:49):
comes to a dinner party and you notice that her
husband is starting to get really uncomfortable and trying to
get out of there sooner rather than later. That appears
to be Kamala, Which is fine if she goes off
into oblivion and drinks herself silly, but she can't be
the president. Tim. It's an I truly believe what do
(12:11):
you truly believe?
Speaker 8 (12:14):
I truly believe there should have been a full autopsy
done with brain tissue sample tests and full blood test
done on the twenty year old assassin to.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Be want Cia, Tim. And the fact that there wasn't,
the fact that the fact that that's just been dropped,
the fact that the media has no curiosity to learn more.
You think of the things they've dug into. We know
more about Lacy Peterson and Scott Peterson than we do
(12:48):
that they think about that for a moment, Ben, what
do you truly believe, Michael?
Speaker 3 (12:56):
I truly believe that times were better when men were
men and women were I'm glad of it.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Very well, said sir, Very well, said Chris. What do
you truly believe, Sir?
Speaker 5 (13:09):
I truly believe America is going to hell in a
handbasket and it's being perpetuated by the left wing liberal media.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Let's go to hold on a second here, let's go
to Jeff. Jeff, what if Michael the phone?
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Right?
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Yeah, go ahead, What do you truly believe, Jeff, Michael?
Speaker 5 (13:34):
I truly believe that the mainstream media will not label evangelicals.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Per kamala as Christian nationalists.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Okay, say that again. I truly believe that the media
will not label I got to think of that, Millie,
what do you truly believe?
Speaker 9 (14:01):
I truly believe that kamala is the word salad? Idiot?
Her response for hospitality was hospitality. Her response for price
gouging was price gauging.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Yes it was, That's what she read, right, So she
doesn't know anything about these things. She simply reads it.
And if she can't see it, properly. She doesn't have
anything to draw on to override the teleprompter. She just
says what she thinks it says, because these are words.
She's not an intellectually curious or robust person. It's hard
(14:42):
for people to get comfortable with this when I say it,
but there are some dumb dumbs in public office, and
some of them are black. And part of the reason
there is they talk in these terms of social justice
and equity, and nobody ever challenges them. These are not
(15:05):
people who read, who think, who engage, who ask questions.
They walk around making pronouncements. Sheila Jackson Lee was a
dumb dumb.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
She was.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
That's why she made some famously very stupid statements that
have become legendary because nobody ever challenged her. She didn't
challenge herself. She just ran around making pronouncements. Jerome, your
dumb ass, get this done, and do this, and do this.
You need intellectual rigor, You need a crucible through which
(15:38):
your ideas are challenged. Sylvester Turner, same thing, little tin
pan martinette, little dictator running around now. Rodney Ellis is
a very very smart guy. He's not a dumb dumb.
I wish she was, but he's not. He's a scheming, conniving,
(15:59):
devious genius. He's extremely smart, extremely smart. He would score
high on an IQ test, and he has great street
sense and common sense. Sylvester Turner dumb dumb, Sheila Jackson
Lee dumb, dumb. Kamala Harris dumb dumb. And it's okay
(16:20):
to say that, did we do Linda already? Linda? What
do you truly believe, sweetheart?
Speaker 6 (16:28):
I truly believe that if Romone plays Sammy Hagar, Van
Halen and Van Hagar music all week long, the world
would be a better place.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Doubtful you disagree? Also you don't disagree. Oh, I thought
you might have been a It seemed like the kind
of dumb thing you would like because it's just so awful.
I don't understand the Sammy Hagar playing with Van Halen.
(16:58):
I don't understand the attraction.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
There.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
You got Sammy Hagar, this burned out old guy, just
screaming about whatever he's screaming about and selling tequila. And
then you got David Lee Roth, who really brought the
color to this technically proficient band. And then you go,
now I want the burned out guy. You know when
Sammy Hagar went to the Mexican bar and he was
(17:24):
hanging out there every night. It was so perfect because
here's this guy with the bleached who doesn't know that
guy right who doesn't know the guy who hasn't been
to a Caribbean bar or a Mexican bar or a
tropical island bar. And there's the guy that walks in
(17:44):
that's over baked, that has the bleached hair, and he's
talking big, and he's drunk, and he's talking about his
three ex wives and you know the car dealerships he
sold years ago. Who hasn't seen that Sammy Hagar just
screeching that that is Sammy Hagar. I just I don't
(18:05):
understand why you would. Van Halen is too important a
band to corrupt with. I mean, I got it. They
were hungry. They had to pay their bills after DLR left.
But now.
Speaker 6 (18:19):
Some of them will.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Remember Dolores, the sweet lady that like we go to
garage sales. Sometime back she had called the show. We
had talked about her desire to go for a garage sale,
but I can't remember what the reason was. Her daughter
wasn't able to take her, or something happened. So Jim Mudd,
our creative director, emailed in and said I'll take her.
(18:44):
She loved the idea, and they spent the day together
on Saturday. They ended up having lunch at Federal American
Grille and they went to estate sales or garage sales
or whatever you want to call him. And he will
be telling us about that in one of the fourth
coming days. But he said, that is some of the
most fun I've had in a long time. And his mother,
(19:08):
who like my mother, was named Loretta, who passed away.
I guess it's been what has been now two years.
I know that there was a feeling that her spirit
was there and that he was taking care of a
woman about her age and showing her a wonderful time.
(19:30):
And why don't we do more of that? Why don't
we take our elderly parents or grandparents For some of
you who are younger, you don't have to have some
you don't have to have front row tickets to the
baseball game. You don't have to sit on the fifty
yard line of the football game. You can literally take
(19:55):
them to the gardening store. You can take her used
to you can take them to the mall. Oh Man
I guess if you find the right mall, you could
take them to the mall, walk around. You could take
them to a garage, so you could take them to
a neighborhood and drive around and say, show me where
you lived and where your house was. Stop and get
something to eat, have some coffee, have a little cake.
(20:17):
Drag it out. I like to drag it out when
I'm making an experience, you know, have my coffee here,
and then my breakfast here, and then my savory here,
and then my suite over here. Really drag it out,
especially if you've got an old person with you. It's
just a matter of spending some time and making a memory.
(20:40):
And imagine this. The democrats in the government may not
value you, but that old person does. Your presence to
that person is such a gift. It is an incredible gift.
And it doesn't have to be You don't have to
and all this time coordinating and planning and spending a
(21:04):
bunch of money simply sitting and having a cup of coffee,
simply sitting and visiting. Older people appreciate that more than
young people do. It's and I truly believe.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
All the Michael Berry Show presents are truly.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
And and you are the next contestant on the I
truly believe. Go ahead, sweetheart, Thank.
Speaker 6 (21:43):
You, Michael. I truly believe every morning when I wake
up with the fear for my country, that if I
hold my prayers in the ear, and I listen to
the people like you that are still hoping for the
best for our country, that I can get through the
day and realize that I still have it better than
(22:04):
I deserve, living here in this wonderful country, and that
I just pray that we won't lose it. That's what
I truly believe.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Good. I'm happy to hear that, But I want people
to spend less time fearing and more time acting. There
is no excuse we can all do more, because sitting
and fearing the depth of our fear does not bring
about more votes and more change. Some people want to
(22:35):
convince me, no, no, no, you think I'm a little
bit afraid for our country. I'm so afraid for ourgo
It does not matter. You can fear a little bit
or a whole lot. The reason you need to fear
for your country is to be willing to do something
about it. But once you have sufficient fear, we don't
(22:55):
need to drive that fear anymore. We all know we
sit in a circle talk about how bad it is
and how much we fear, and then somebody adds to
it and we pile up. Before you know it, we
have built a mountain of fear. But we've got to
have a mountain of action because the liberals don't sit
around fearing. They act. They never stop acting. Donald, You're
(23:21):
on the Michael Berry Shows, and I truly believe what
do you, sir, truly believe?
Speaker 4 (23:26):
I truly believe that my twenty seven years of military
service from Vietnam to Night eleven with Johnson, Mixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan,
Father Bush, Clinton w will be wasted unless Trump or
somebody equal to him, vance somebody that really knows what
(23:46):
they're doing, gets to be the president.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Amen.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
And also that Death Wish movies by Charles Bronson should
be put back on television. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
On Constant Loop, you will not find someone who disagreed
with me. I've talked about Charles Burns this weekend. Ken,
What do you truly believe?
Speaker 8 (24:05):
I truly believe that Jacqueline Smith was a way hotter
angel than Phara Face.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
You know I have a thing for Farah Fawcet. Not
because she's blonde. Jacqueline Smith Smith is more in my
sweet spot, but because she's a Houston girl and she's
such a Houston institution. Delbert, what do you truly believe, sir?
Speaker 5 (24:33):
I truly believe that watermelons and mangoes should be naked
with the one.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
That you love should be eating naked with what.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
The one you love?
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Well, that's caligulo sounding stuff there. We eat a lot
of mangoes in our house. My wife loves of being
from India. She absolutely loves mangoes for Indians and Mexican's
are huge, John, what do you truly believe? Make it quick?
Speaker 8 (24:59):
I truly believe that no matter what happens in November,
it is truly going to be revolutionary.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Michael very Hue, I recommend it, and you well apparently
Jackie Houston girl too. Do you know that I am
born in Houston graduated from Lamar High School. Huh wow,
(25:26):
that is very interesting. Phil Donahue died at eighty eight.
They're saying the cause of death was the lingering effects
of his public beatdown by Milton Friedman in nineteen seventy
nine on his show I enjoyed the Phil Donahue Show
(25:47):
when I was a kid, because that was the closest
thing that passes passed for intellectual discussion on the television
at the time. And I felt like he tried to
give a fair airing to a broad swath of people.
(26:09):
But of course there were moments that I think he
embarrassed himself. You remember, if you haven't seen the Rush
Limbaugh on Phil Donahue episode, it's interesting because Rush goes
in loaded for bear and he does not disappoint no
matter how the audience who's and has a bunch of
people that I guarantee you have a negative bank balance
(26:32):
in their checking account when they walk in. There a
bunch of people who are underachievers in every aspect of life.
But they go in there and well, they're going to
hoot and holler at whoever the guest is. And that's
part of it, isn't it. That was Ricky leg That
was all those shows. You look at those studio audiences
out there and they are so excited because no matter
(26:53):
how wrecked and wretched their lives are, those people up
on stage are worse and they get to make all
the noise. JR. An I truly believe. What do you
truly believe?
Speaker 4 (27:06):
I truly believe I've once again wasted my money contributing
to the Ted Cruz campaign because I have yet to
see a commercial and I see Colin all Red all.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Over the place.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
You know, I'm glad you brought that up. Hold the
music from I am very glad that you brought that up.
So several people have commented that this morning, every ad
on the stream feels like it's Kamala Harris. Let me
(27:35):
give you a little background on radio so you understand this,
and when you send me an email, you'll have to
answer this question so you can help me. If people
say your volume's too low, I'm hearing a crackling your
audios cutting in and out, and want you to understand
this very clearly. When we do the show at our studio,
(27:57):
we then send it to the KTR and the Khiah
studio sends it to a transmitter which transmits it out
on a signal known as amplitude modulation. And that is
like a microwave signal. And that is for years, one
hundred years, how you listened to radio in your car.
(28:22):
You set the dial setting and it would capture the
sound when you got that. Now it's a digital setting
for most people. There's still some people that have the
old fashioned that is the terrestrial signal, the land based
signal that goes out that you hear in your car
or on an actual radio. Separately, there is what is
(28:45):
known as the stream that is a digital signal. You
get that on your phone or your computer that you're
getting off of the app and that is a completely
different It's still our same show, but when we go
to break, it's two different sets of commercials. It's two
(29:07):
different everything is different. So what happens is people will say,
I don't want to listen to an ad for whatever
it is, ky Jelly or two Dudes, a monkey pops,
whatever it is. So apparently today it's Kamala Harris ads
(29:31):
and people can't understand why that is airing during our show.
The way those ads are purchased, they are not directly
targeted the streaming ads. So if you hear somebody on
our radio station saying, you know, vote for me, I'm
so and so, they are most likely having targeted our audience.
(29:55):
They know what they're getting with our audience. On the stream.
They're buying a cast and blast It is a uh,
it is the old blunderbuss approach. They're just they're spewing
everything out there. They're casting a very broad net and
they're making a very big spend. And that's what Kamalist
(30:16):
people are doing. They're putting her name and attempting to
tell her story to a broad audience, male, female, young, old,
you name it, and they're pouring a bunch of cash
into it. Where is the Trump campaign. I don't know.
I get this question a lot. Are they spending their
(30:39):
money wisely? It's not clear to me. I don't know.
I would love to tell you they are. Now I
will tell you this of the Cruise campaign. I've been
around politics, and I've studied politics since nineteen eighty nine.
I have talked to most of the consultants that are
(31:02):
considered famous of the last twenty five years. I've sat
in meetings with folks who look at the data and
look at the numbers. And I will tell you this,
and you can take this to the bank. Ted Cruz's
campaign spends their money more strategically than any candidate or
(31:28):
campaign I have ever seen. And it's not even close. Now,
let me tell you why you're not seeing it because
you're clustered in a group that's already voting for him.
You're not in a place where people like you are not.
(31:48):
They may be going after college kids with a certain message.
They may be going after West Texas ranchers with a
certain message. They may be going after East Texas arms
or plant workers with a certain message. They may be
trying to pick out, tease out out of a precinct
that has one hundred Democrat voters in Hidalgo County. They
(32:12):
may be trying to pull out the eight Republicans. So
they've crossed referenced every number. All right, where does that
guy listen? What radio stations he listened to? Because you
also don't want to drive up the Democrat attendance. Look,
Trump's the best candidate in America, no doubt about that.
I don't think he has the best campaign. I think
(32:35):
he's surrounded by a lot of people who are not
loyal to him, and they are draining, they are leaching
off of him and blowing money. I do believe that
he just happens to be so good. But the Trump campaign,
I mean the Cruise campaign. I can assure you your
money is not wasted. It is being spent wisely to
drive turnout for cruise and Trump in the state of
(32:56):
Texas rest assured Abo
It's that time, time, time, time, luck and load. So
Michael Very show is on the air. But I think
(00:36):
that to drive.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Through the week.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
It's the d n C this week, although several of
you suggested the slogan for the Democrat Convention, since they're
giving away abortions, get a d n C. At the
d n C. You have to laugh because otherwise you'll
go crazy because they don't respect you in life. You
(01:02):
know who isn't struggling to buy groceries and pay rent?
You may be, but Vladimir Vallensky. Zelensky is not. He
is not struggling one bit, and that's got to be
very funny to him. Of all the countries wanting America's largees,
and there's there's Zelenski getting two point three trillion dollars
(01:29):
of your money. That's supposedly the all end now seems high,
but I suppose we'll see. Anyway. We have to pace ourselves.
It's a big week, a lot going on, So I
thought we'd pull back for a moment on the terrible
news because you don't want to start the day with that,
(01:49):
do you? And do it? I truly believe. Now, remember
the rules before you call be ready to get right
to it. I'm good, you're good. It's not a meetia
on the street. I'll ask you, what do you truly believe?
And you will say I truly believe. And you need
to be able to say that in a sentence. If
(02:10):
you're really wound up and it's going to be a
theory that's going to take eight minutes to tell. That's
not an I truly believe. Call? All right seven one
three nine nine nine one thousand. Seven one three nine
one thousand. I may go to you after your comment,
or you may be put on hold, which means that
(02:32):
we're dumping the call. Well, why don't you just dump
the call, Ramon, because if we dump the call, the
person thinks they were cut off early. So if you
put back on hold, you know, Okay, I'm done. We're
moving to the next person. All right, seven one three
nine nine nine one thousand. It's a I truly believe
seven one three nine nine nine one thousand. But first,
(02:53):
how you how you learn?
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Is his Shirley Q Licko. You know, I load up
the Cadillact yesterday and took all the nineteens of my
children down.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
There to the beach or It was a long drive.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
And that cadillact kept trying to short out on me, sparking,
you know, we don't.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Like that heat no more than I do.
Speaker 3 (03:15):
And we finally got down there and put on our
swimming suit, and them children just scattered, you know, just
nineteen different directions there they go. I said, Lord, I'm
gonna blow whistle at the while, and whoever show up
in this car is getting to go home, and the
rest of y'all on yall own, okay, Because we had
brought the ice chins with us, you know, and with
me and Watusa sat out there on our blankets, you know,
(03:37):
and we was drinking my liquor, and she said, listen, bust.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
That watermelon open. I said, all right, that girl.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
And we went and got that thing and we didn't
barely have a nice fudd and we just had to
use our fingernails to get it started cracking.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
And then she popped that thing opened.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
That watermelon split in two and blessed by the Lord,
I swear to face the g Jesus was on that thing.
And I said, oh, my goodness, you say you see that?
And she said, yes, I do, and her mouth was
just drooling, and she said, what the Bible saying is
time for communion? I said, I know that's right, honey.
(04:16):
Before you know, we lip locked down on the Lord.
Yes we had and it was good too, So thank
you Jesus. Oh yes, Lord, you tell your mama and
then my sea hunt to meet sometime.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
It was too And all the Michael Berry Show presents
are truly.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Jesus.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
It's another exciting ndition of I truly believe. Reminder, this
is an opportunity to say, what do you know to
be true, whether serious or funny, that the media can't change.
I truly believe that boys or boys and girls are
girls and you cannot change that. Oh you can. You
(05:15):
can mutilate, you can cut up, and if an adult
chooses to do that, that's their business, but not a child.
Boys belong playing against boys in sports, and only girls
against girls. There are lots of things I truly believe,
and nothing the Orwellian media can say will change that
(05:38):
for me. Not one thing, David, What do you truly believe, sir?
Speaker 5 (05:44):
I truly believe the Democratic Party stole the twenty twenty
election and was behind the attempt to assassinate President Trump.
Speaker 6 (05:53):
You know.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
It had to be a government job, because if you
think about it, it had government job written all over it.
They botched it. They they couldn't do it right. If
it had been if it hadn't been the government, they
would have killed it. Thank goodness it was the government.
(06:16):
Seven one thousand, Gary, you're on the Michael Berry Show.
It's not truly believed. What do you truly believe?
Speaker 7 (06:26):
Hey, michaels Is Gary, thirty year Army veteran, U now retire,
living uh in the Woodlands. I truly believe that this
country needs to do three things. One we need a
third party to We need to limit campaign contributions that
buying elections.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
That's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
Oh no, I don't think he got any of the
concepts any of it. I don't think any of the
I truly believe formatt appeals to him, Jerry, what do
you truly believe?
Speaker 5 (07:10):
I truly believe all my deep shots and pickleball are
hitting the back line and I think cheated. I know
they're in, they look in, but I have to just
go with the call because I'm on the other side
of the court, and how would I know there is
I think I'm being cheated.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
Well, I think you might be playing with Clay Pool
and Clay Connley because they call a lot of my
shots out that I am certain or not out certain
they're not out, especially when I'm on a roll. Ladies,
where are you? You don't truly believe anything? Women are
always grossly underrepresented in the I truly believe, and I
(07:47):
don't know if if getting right to the point is difficult,
I don't know if they don't hold strong opinions. I'd
like to know seven on three nine nine nine one thousand, Steven,
what do you truly believe?
Speaker 7 (07:58):
Hey, Michael, I want to piggyback off what you were saying.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
And I truly believe it's our.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Job as parents to raise the kids right, to teach.
Speaker 7 (08:04):
Them right from wrong, and not the school, not anybody else,
but as parents to do that.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
You know, Stephen, I get so many comments from people
who were upset with the fact that the school's not
doing their job, and fine, I agree, But if you
I've never had a problem. My kids don't come home
questioning their sexuality. My kids don't come home questioning America's
(08:32):
role in the world, because guess what I do my
job When you're driving places. That's an opportunity to coach
your kid and teach your kid and raise them up
in the ways of your values. But if you're not,
you're waiting on the teachers. Yeah, you're real. Man four
our assistant from The Michael Berry Show and other leading companies.
(08:54):
Houston's own Johnny Nash was born on this day, eighty
four years ago eighteen forty. As a teenager, he performed
regularly on Arthur Godfrey's Variety show, landed a series of
minor hits. He told me his father would come and
(09:15):
pick him up at school to take him to the
Channel the KPRC studios when school was over, but he
would stay in the car since he was a limo driver,
so people would think that Johnny had a limo. He
was trying to give him the impression that he was
a star. So when he would pull up the Channel two,
(09:38):
they would just see this little kid hop out go
in to do his afternoon performance, and they thought, Wow,
he'd got a limo. His dad was a limo driver
and was taking that time to try to make his
son into a star, and he did with his nineteen
seventies reggae hits. I can see clearly now a breakout
(10:00):
hit and Stir It Up, which was written and later
recorded by Bob Marley, who he would discover while in Kingston, Jamaica.
Sandy Peterson, our research director, writes preliminary observations on this
week's d NC Number one, Downtown businesses in Chicago have
(10:23):
boarded up in preparation for the festivities. Milwaukee businesses didn't
need to do that. Number two. Democrat delegates are having
to go incognito otherwise the Hamas Horde will get to them.
That's true, They're having to hide as they go. In
number three, I feel sorry for Lena Hidalgo's cat, saying
(10:46):
she might be an emotional support cat. That might be
why she's with her. Number four. While Democrats have always
wanted a blood sacrifice of abortion, this is the first
time they're actually holding an abortion sacrament during the mask.
To annoint Kamala sacrifice to Moloch and Ball At number five,
(11:07):
I think Kamala Harris is a functioning alcoholic. There is
more and more emerging from the people around her. Ron Klain,
who was really Joe Biden's brain, the guy who's making
decisions during the Biden administration, has said that she has
no business being president, and he has said some very
(11:28):
harsh things, and I think he would know better than anyone.
Apparently she is drunk a lot, and apparently a lot
of the time you see her rambling and stammering and
cackling and giggling. She's your wine aunt, you know, the
woman who comes over the afternoon and drinks rose, or
(11:49):
comes to a dinner party and you notice that her
husband is starting to get really uncomfortable and trying to
get out of there sooner rather than later. That appears
to be Kamala, Which is fine if she goes off
into oblivion and drinks herself silly, but she can't be
the president. Tim. It's an I truly believe what do
(12:11):
you truly believe?
Speaker 8 (12:14):
I truly believe there should have been a full autopsy
done with brain tissue sample tests and full blood test
done on the twenty year old assassin to.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Be want Cia, Tim. And the fact that there wasn't,
the fact that the fact that that's just been dropped,
the fact that the media has no curiosity to learn more.
You think of the things they've dug into. We know
more about Lacy Peterson and Scott Peterson than we do
(12:48):
that they think about that for a moment, Ben, what
do you truly believe, Michael?
Speaker 3 (12:56):
I truly believe that times were better when men were
men and women were I'm glad of it.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Very well, said sir, Very well, said Chris. What do
you truly believe, Sir?
Speaker 5 (13:09):
I truly believe America is going to hell in a
handbasket and it's being perpetuated by the left wing liberal media.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
Let's go to hold on a second here, let's go
to Jeff. Jeff, what if Michael the phone?
Speaker 2 (13:30):
Right?
Speaker 1 (13:30):
Yeah, go ahead, What do you truly believe, Jeff, Michael?
Speaker 5 (13:34):
I truly believe that the mainstream media will not label evangelicals.
Speaker 2 (13:40):
Per kamala as Christian nationalists.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
Okay, say that again. I truly believe that the media
will not label I got to think of that, Millie,
what do you truly believe?
Speaker 9 (14:01):
I truly believe that kamala is the word salad? Idiot?
Her response for hospitality was hospitality. Her response for price
gouging was price gauging.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Yes it was, That's what she read, right, So she
doesn't know anything about these things. She simply reads it.
And if she can't see it, properly. She doesn't have
anything to draw on to override the teleprompter. She just
says what she thinks it says, because these are words.
She's not an intellectually curious or robust person. It's hard
(14:42):
for people to get comfortable with this when I say it,
but there are some dumb dumbs in public office, and
some of them are black. And part of the reason
there is they talk in these terms of social justice
and equity, and nobody ever challenges them. These are not
(15:05):
people who read, who think, who engage, who ask questions.
They walk around making pronouncements. Sheila Jackson Lee was a
dumb dumb.
Speaker 2 (15:15):
She was.
Speaker 1 (15:17):
That's why she made some famously very stupid statements that
have become legendary because nobody ever challenged her. She didn't
challenge herself. She just ran around making pronouncements. Jerome, your
dumb ass, get this done, and do this, and do this.
You need intellectual rigor, You need a crucible through which
(15:38):
your ideas are challenged. Sylvester Turner, same thing, little tin
pan martinette, little dictator running around now. Rodney Ellis is
a very very smart guy. He's not a dumb dumb.
I wish she was, but he's not. He's a scheming, conniving,
(15:59):
devious genius. He's extremely smart, extremely smart. He would score
high on an IQ test, and he has great street
sense and common sense. Sylvester Turner dumb dumb, Sheila Jackson
Lee dumb, dumb. Kamala Harris dumb dumb. And it's okay
(16:20):
to say that, did we do Linda already? Linda? What
do you truly believe, sweetheart?
Speaker 6 (16:28):
I truly believe that if Romone plays Sammy Hagar, Van
Halen and Van Hagar music all week long, the world
would be a better place.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
Doubtful you disagree? Also you don't disagree. Oh, I thought
you might have been a It seemed like the kind
of dumb thing you would like because it's just so awful.
I don't understand the Sammy Hagar playing with Van Halen.
(16:58):
I don't understand the attraction.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
There.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
You got Sammy Hagar, this burned out old guy, just
screaming about whatever he's screaming about and selling tequila. And
then you got David Lee Roth, who really brought the
color to this technically proficient band. And then you go,
now I want the burned out guy. You know when
Sammy Hagar went to the Mexican bar and he was
(17:24):
hanging out there every night. It was so perfect because
here's this guy with the bleached who doesn't know that
guy right who doesn't know the guy who hasn't been
to a Caribbean bar or a Mexican bar or a
tropical island bar. And there's the guy that walks in
(17:44):
that's over baked, that has the bleached hair, and he's
talking big, and he's drunk, and he's talking about his
three ex wives and you know the car dealerships he
sold years ago. Who hasn't seen that Sammy Hagar just
screeching that that is Sammy Hagar. I just I don't
(18:05):
understand why you would. Van Halen is too important a
band to corrupt with. I mean, I got it. They
were hungry. They had to pay their bills after DLR left.
But now.
Speaker 6 (18:19):
Some of them will.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
Remember Dolores, the sweet lady that like we go to
garage sales. Sometime back she had called the show. We
had talked about her desire to go for a garage sale,
but I can't remember what the reason was. Her daughter
wasn't able to take her, or something happened. So Jim Mudd,
our creative director, emailed in and said I'll take her.
(18:44):
She loved the idea, and they spent the day together
on Saturday. They ended up having lunch at Federal American
Grille and they went to estate sales or garage sales
or whatever you want to call him. And he will
be telling us about that in one of the fourth
coming days. But he said, that is some of the
most fun I've had in a long time. And his mother,
(19:08):
who like my mother, was named Loretta, who passed away.
I guess it's been what has been now two years.
I know that there was a feeling that her spirit
was there and that he was taking care of a
woman about her age and showing her a wonderful time.
(19:30):
And why don't we do more of that? Why don't
we take our elderly parents or grandparents For some of
you who are younger, you don't have to have some
you don't have to have front row tickets to the
baseball game. You don't have to sit on the fifty
yard line of the football game. You can literally take
(19:55):
them to the gardening store. You can take her used
to you can take them to the mall. Oh Man
I guess if you find the right mall, you could
take them to the mall, walk around. You could take
them to a garage, so you could take them to
a neighborhood and drive around and say, show me where
you lived and where your house was. Stop and get
something to eat, have some coffee, have a little cake.
(20:17):
Drag it out. I like to drag it out when
I'm making an experience, you know, have my coffee here,
and then my breakfast here, and then my savory here,
and then my suite over here. Really drag it out,
especially if you've got an old person with you. It's
just a matter of spending some time and making a memory.
(20:40):
And imagine this. The democrats in the government may not
value you, but that old person does. Your presence to
that person is such a gift. It is an incredible gift.
And it doesn't have to be You don't have to
and all this time coordinating and planning and spending a
(21:04):
bunch of money simply sitting and having a cup of coffee,
simply sitting and visiting. Older people appreciate that more than
young people do. It's and I truly believe.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
All the Michael Berry Show presents are truly.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
And and you are the next contestant on the I
truly believe. Go ahead, sweetheart, Thank.
Speaker 6 (21:43):
You, Michael. I truly believe every morning when I wake
up with the fear for my country, that if I
hold my prayers in the ear, and I listen to
the people like you that are still hoping for the
best for our country, that I can get through the
day and realize that I still have it better than
(22:04):
I deserve, living here in this wonderful country, and that
I just pray that we won't lose it. That's what
I truly believe.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
Good. I'm happy to hear that, But I want people
to spend less time fearing and more time acting. There
is no excuse we can all do more, because sitting
and fearing the depth of our fear does not bring
about more votes and more change. Some people want to
(22:35):
convince me, no, no, no, you think I'm a little
bit afraid for our country. I'm so afraid for ourgo
It does not matter. You can fear a little bit
or a whole lot. The reason you need to fear
for your country is to be willing to do something
about it. But once you have sufficient fear, we don't
(22:55):
need to drive that fear anymore. We all know we
sit in a circle talk about how bad it is
and how much we fear, and then somebody adds to
it and we pile up. Before you know it, we
have built a mountain of fear. But we've got to
have a mountain of action because the liberals don't sit
around fearing. They act. They never stop acting. Donald, You're
(23:21):
on the Michael Berry Shows, and I truly believe what
do you, sir, truly believe?
Speaker 4 (23:26):
I truly believe that my twenty seven years of military
service from Vietnam to Night eleven with Johnson, Mixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan,
Father Bush, Clinton w will be wasted unless Trump or
somebody equal to him, vance somebody that really knows what
(23:46):
they're doing, gets to be the president.
Speaker 2 (23:49):
Amen.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
And also that Death Wish movies by Charles Bronson should
be put back on television. Thank you.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
On Constant Loop, you will not find someone who disagreed
with me. I've talked about Charles Burns this weekend. Ken,
What do you truly believe?
Speaker 8 (24:05):
I truly believe that Jacqueline Smith was a way hotter
angel than Phara Face.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
You know I have a thing for Farah Fawcet. Not
because she's blonde. Jacqueline Smith Smith is more in my
sweet spot, but because she's a Houston girl and she's
such a Houston institution. Delbert, what do you truly believe, sir?
Speaker 5 (24:33):
I truly believe that watermelons and mangoes should be naked
with the one.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
That you love should be eating naked with what.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
The one you love?
Speaker 1 (24:44):
Well, that's caligulo sounding stuff there. We eat a lot
of mangoes in our house. My wife loves of being
from India. She absolutely loves mangoes for Indians and Mexican's
are huge, John, what do you truly believe? Make it quick?
Speaker 8 (24:59):
I truly believe that no matter what happens in November,
it is truly going to be revolutionary.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Michael very Hue, I recommend it, and you well apparently
Jackie Houston girl too. Do you know that I am
born in Houston graduated from Lamar High School. Huh wow,
(25:26):
that is very interesting. Phil Donahue died at eighty eight.
They're saying the cause of death was the lingering effects
of his public beatdown by Milton Friedman in nineteen seventy
nine on his show I enjoyed the Phil Donahue Show
(25:47):
when I was a kid, because that was the closest
thing that passes passed for intellectual discussion on the television
at the time. And I felt like he tried to
give a fair airing to a broad swath of people.
(26:09):
But of course there were moments that I think he
embarrassed himself. You remember, if you haven't seen the Rush
Limbaugh on Phil Donahue episode, it's interesting because Rush goes
in loaded for bear and he does not disappoint no
matter how the audience who's and has a bunch of
people that I guarantee you have a negative bank balance
(26:32):
in their checking account when they walk in. There a
bunch of people who are underachievers in every aspect of life.
But they go in there and well, they're going to
hoot and holler at whoever the guest is. And that's
part of it, isn't it. That was Ricky leg That
was all those shows. You look at those studio audiences
out there and they are so excited because no matter
(26:53):
how wrecked and wretched their lives are, those people up
on stage are worse and they get to make all
the noise. JR. An I truly believe. What do you
truly believe?
Speaker 4 (27:06):
I truly believe I've once again wasted my money contributing
to the Ted Cruz campaign because I have yet to
see a commercial and I see Colin all Red all.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Over the place.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
You know, I'm glad you brought that up. Hold the
music from I am very glad that you brought that up.
So several people have commented that this morning, every ad
on the stream feels like it's Kamala Harris. Let me
(27:35):
give you a little background on radio so you understand this,
and when you send me an email, you'll have to
answer this question so you can help me. If people
say your volume's too low, I'm hearing a crackling your
audios cutting in and out, and want you to understand
this very clearly. When we do the show at our studio,
(27:57):
we then send it to the KTR and the Khiah
studio sends it to a transmitter which transmits it out
on a signal known as amplitude modulation. And that is
like a microwave signal. And that is for years, one
hundred years, how you listened to radio in your car.
(28:22):
You set the dial setting and it would capture the
sound when you got that. Now it's a digital setting
for most people. There's still some people that have the
old fashioned that is the terrestrial signal, the land based
signal that goes out that you hear in your car
or on an actual radio. Separately, there is what is
(28:45):
known as the stream that is a digital signal. You
get that on your phone or your computer that you're
getting off of the app and that is a completely
different It's still our same show, but when we go
to break, it's two different sets of commercials. It's two
(29:07):
different everything is different. So what happens is people will say,
I don't want to listen to an ad for whatever
it is, ky Jelly or two Dudes, a monkey pops,
whatever it is. So apparently today it's Kamala Harris ads
(29:31):
and people can't understand why that is airing during our show.
The way those ads are purchased, they are not directly
targeted the streaming ads. So if you hear somebody on
our radio station saying, you know, vote for me, I'm
so and so, they are most likely having targeted our audience.
(29:55):
They know what they're getting with our audience. On the stream.
They're buying a cast and blast It is a uh,
it is the old blunderbuss approach. They're just they're spewing
everything out there. They're casting a very broad net and
they're making a very big spend. And that's what Kamalist
(30:16):
people are doing. They're putting her name and attempting to
tell her story to a broad audience, male, female, young, old,
you name it, and they're pouring a bunch of cash
into it. Where is the Trump campaign. I don't know.
I get this question a lot. Are they spending their
(30:39):
money wisely? It's not clear to me. I don't know.
I would love to tell you they are. Now I
will tell you this of the Cruise campaign. I've been
around politics, and I've studied politics since nineteen eighty nine.
I have talked to most of the consultants that are
(31:02):
considered famous of the last twenty five years. I've sat
in meetings with folks who look at the data and
look at the numbers. And I will tell you this,
and you can take this to the bank. Ted Cruz's
campaign spends their money more strategically than any candidate or
(31:28):
campaign I have ever seen. And it's not even close. Now,
let me tell you why you're not seeing it because
you're clustered in a group that's already voting for him.
You're not in a place where people like you are not.
(31:48):
They may be going after college kids with a certain message.
They may be going after West Texas ranchers with a
certain message. They may be going after East Texas arms
or plant workers with a certain message. They may be
trying to pick out, tease out out of a precinct
that has one hundred Democrat voters in Hidalgo County. They
(32:12):
may be trying to pull out the eight Republicans. So
they've crossed referenced every number. All right, where does that
guy listen? What radio stations he listened to? Because you
also don't want to drive up the Democrat attendance. Look,
Trump's the best candidate in America, no doubt about that.
I don't think he has the best campaign. I think
(32:35):
he's surrounded by a lot of people who are not
loyal to him, and they are draining, they are leaching
off of him and blowing money. I do believe that
he just happens to be so good. But the Trump campaign,
I mean the Cruise campaign. I can assure you your
money is not wasted. It is being spent wisely to
drive turnout for cruise and Trump in the state of

On Purpose with Jay Shetty
I’m Jay Shetty host of On Purpose the worlds #1 Mental Health podcast and I’m so grateful you found us. I started this podcast 5 years ago to invite you into conversations and workshops that are designed to help make you happier, healthier and more healed. I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
