Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time, time, time.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Time, luck and load.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Michael Very Show is on the air. In fact, drunk
and stupid is no way to go through life.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Stuck.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
I'm shaking the dust of this crummy little town off
my feet, and I'm gonna see the world.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
My hell old the fry gass water type that.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Is Alia, Yes.
Speaker 5 (00:35):
We believe it is.
Speaker 6 (00:37):
No.
Speaker 5 (00:41):
I'm going steady and my French kiss.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
So everybody does that. Yeah, but Daddy says, I'm the desk.
Speaker 7 (00:48):
Daddy, a careful man, a beaver.
Speaker 5 (00:51):
Everybody down around we gotta what on telescope?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
What in the wide wise world of sports is a go?
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Greg Morgan with lone Star Stucco says Greg Morgan, lone
Star Stucco. I want my two children to have the
same pride in their country as I did during my upbringing.
In the Reagan administration, Richard Martinez writes, I wish I
could call, but I can't while I'm at work, too
noisy in here. I'm voting for Trump because I have
two family members in the military. I have a grandson
(01:28):
in the Marines and a nephew in the Air Force.
I'm okay if they have to go defend our country,
but I'm not okay. If it's for a stupid war,
Democrats will get us into a stupid war, respectfully, Richard Martinez,
Cedar Creek, twenty miles east of Weird Parentheses, Austin. I
think they're preparing us for war. I've said this all along.
(01:50):
I think we launch into war within the coming days. Here,
I'm not predicting that. I think there's a good chance
of it. Blink And is making statements about our involvement
which effectively are pushing Putin into war. And I believe
(02:14):
that's the intention to engage Putin because when we go
to war, the media will say, there's no time for
politics right now. We've got to rally around the president.
Biden steps down. Kamin is the president, she's the commander
in chief. You become more popular during war. Bill Clinton
lamented that during his presidency he could not be a
(02:34):
commander in chief of a wartime nation, because that's how
you're remembered throughout history. Nobody remembers the socialism of FDR.
They remember World War Two. It's just the way it works.
I don't know if Jim has loaded it. Let me
see the Polish leader, maybe Prime Minister I don't know.
(02:56):
I think it was a Polish prime minister made a
statement yesterday, the most of great yessive statement against a
United States leader I've ever seen. He was criticizing blinking,
and he said, go home. We are not fighting your war.
Poland's boys and girls are not going to die in
America's war for Ukraine. Go home, do not cause a
(03:21):
war here. And he's right. I've got a seventeen and
eighteen year old. I don't want to sacrifice them on
the altar of Kamala Harris's re election campaign and the
pillar to build up the establishment that runs this country.
This quote I keep going back to by Glenn Greenwald,
(03:45):
the US has no functional president and has not had
one for months, and it's barely noticeable and barely matters
because there's a permanent, unelucted mission that runs the government.
Think about that for a moment. The US has no
(04:06):
functional president. That's a true statement. Ernest Anyway said, you
start with one true statement. That's how you write. You
write one true statement, and then you add another true sentence.
The US has no functional president and has not had
one for months. That's not in dispute, and it's barely noticeable.
(04:31):
How true is that You might not have even thought
about it for a while and barely matters. Yeah, nobody
says the government's functioning better or worse without a president.
It's just functioning, whatever that means, because there's a permanent,
unelected machine that runs the government. We like to think
(04:56):
that every two years with Congress in the Senate and
every four years with the presidency, the American people's will
is manifested into leadership and an agenda. But that's not true,
is it? Problem is nobody told Trump the Bushes were fine.
The Romneys would have been fined, the mccains would have
(05:19):
been fined. Obama was fine, these people are fine. Biden
was a product of it. He knew the game. He's
like the elected mayor in the city that has the
city manager that runs the city, and the elected mayor
tries to do something and before you know it, there's
(05:39):
a scandal on him because you're not really you're just
here for the parades and get to tell everybody that
you're the mayor of your little town. Don't try to
run anything. The city manager will. That happens in a
lot of small rural towns, and it's not till the
mayor tries to do something that they have a problem
with him. All right, to the phone lines, we go Trenton.
You're on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, what he'll
(06:05):
get you?
Speaker 7 (06:05):
Election?
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Go ahead.
Speaker 7 (06:11):
It's election season in America, so that means Washington, DC's
and high gears selling false promises, slogans, and platitudes. Their
airwaves are so saturated within authenticity. Joy is a word
being sold to us as if the only way for
us to find joy in our life is to cast
(06:31):
a vote for that candidate. This is a superficial joy,
a fake joy. True joy is an act like your
mother going into a gas station for a pack of
cigarettes and coming back with a blue belt bombstick. She
didn't get it for you because you've been a good boy.
She didn't get it for you because she wants you
to a vote. She got it for you because she
(06:53):
loves you and wants you to be happy. Talk of
unity is through gritted teeth. People of different sides of
the aisle speak of unity and only manage affecsimile of
unity when it suits their needs. In the moments that
we need, only look at the bombstick for example of
true unity. Strong, old traditional fudge chocolate ice cream next
(07:18):
to eccentric and contemporary and ice cream. These two ice
creams have different political opinions. They're probably voting for different candidates.
They're a symbol of what I hope our country can
be one day.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
A chocolate and banana bomb. I can't think of anything better.
And then you have the people that did the red,
white and blue. I don't even know what those flavors are.
Do you remember when they came out with the red,
white and blue bomb?
Speaker 7 (07:54):
Yet, sir, that is the bombs. Does the bomb pop
not the bombstick? Please? Please, please don't be Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Oh, I'm glad you know the vernacular. And I will
now reduce it to memory because I never understood the
point of that. That chocolate banana that was Trenton, extraordinarily
well done. You've called in before, yes sir, okay, and
I asked you to call back, yes sir.
Speaker 7 (08:25):
If you'll have me next week, i'll have another message.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
I'll renew my call for you to prepare something for
us again. It is about the perfect amount of time.
And I challenge every one of you during the course
of the week, those of you that are driving around
whether it's a little recorder or your phone or whatever.
Record your thoughts, write them down, structure it, make it
(08:48):
thirty seconds, deliver it, be proud of it. You never
know who's listening, You never know who you're affecting.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
Joe, this has been race driver Michael Barry, funny hacker.
That's Ramond King of Deans suggested for general.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Audiences September nineteenth and twentieth of twenty fourteen, eleven months
into opening the RCC, we had Charlie Daniels on Friday
night and Marshall Tucker Brand on Saturday night. I don't
(09:25):
know that it gets any better. And when I brought
the veterans up, which we would do, who was first,
meet a neighbor, make a friend. Second was this is
not a singles bar, This is not a hookup bar.
This is a place where couples can come on date
(09:45):
night because there are too few of those, feel comfortable
and safe and be around other like minded people. And
third we bring down our veterans. And I would always
go through each of the conflicts and Vietnam veterans for
the last because I don't think they got their fair
due and I wanted to give them a little extra
(10:05):
bump when I'm doing that. Doug Gray, the lead singer.
Of course they had two lead singers. You know that
one died. But Doug Gray, the lead singer, comes out, Dude,
you're in the middle of my my deal. This is
our deal. This is bigger than your show. This is
our deal. Puts his big, old heavy hand on my shoulder.
(10:27):
It kind of pulls me down so he can speak
into my ear, and he said, I'm a Vietnam veteran.
What this is getting heavy? Michael, this is a lot
to throw on us. It's all early this morning, but
it was true, and so I announced it. What else
(10:47):
do I do? Charlie Robinson says, bring me back on
for an encore. You bring him back on. So I did,
and when they came back, he reminded me we got
there that that was so many. You think about how
many shows they've done over the years. I mean, what
are we fifty years? One hundred shows a year, five thousand,
(11:10):
probably more than one hundred. And he remembered that. When
he showed up, he said, Hey, remember I'm a Vietnam
better Okay, all right, I love it, I love it
all right. To the phone lines, we go seven one three,
one thousand, seven one three nine one thousand. Jeremy, you're
on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 8 (11:30):
Go ahead, Sir, I got a quick forty story for you.
Mine eight year old so and brought home to me yesterday.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
He goes to a small school.
Speaker 8 (11:39):
He came home, he said, Daddy, I took a poll today.
I said, okay, who uh?
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Who'd you poll?
Speaker 8 (11:46):
He said?
Speaker 7 (11:46):
The third graders said all right.
Speaker 8 (11:49):
Well, how many do you pull? He said? I think
I pulled twenty two? And knowing my son, there's there's
no telling what's going to come out of his mouth next.
So I said, what what was the poll?
Speaker 9 (12:01):
What do you ask him?
Speaker 8 (12:02):
Son? He said, I just asked him Donald Trump or
Kamala Harris not kind of laughed.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
I said, well, what did you come up with?
Speaker 10 (12:09):
He said, well, basically, we got three idiots.
Speaker 8 (12:12):
In third grade?
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Amen? Amen, what's the guy's name? Major Garrett? Was it
CBS you we're talking about? He said he spoke to
randomly spoke to twenty people in Michigan to ask them
their opinion, and he said every one of them was
(12:35):
for Trump. But he said that he realized that the
Trump support was the two words he used was real
and resilient. Resilient is one of my favorite words. Our
friend Eddie Martini is in Baton Rouge right now burying
(12:55):
his mother in law, Liz's mother, and I asked him
where he was staying. He said, we're at the Marriott.
This was during the last break. We're at the Marriott,
and he said, it's full of Lineman power workers. And
you know, Eddie's from metaies from New Orleans. And then,
(13:20):
of course he lived in Baton Rouge, ran radio stations
there and obviously went to LSU, very proud LSU graduate.
Isn't it interesting Louisiana gets blasted by Francine and the
national news never talks about it. New York gets a
hangnail and we got to, you know, we gotta have
(13:41):
songs about it, and yes, no, no, no, ramone the
things that come out of your mouth. If I was
to be dumb enough to ever say, I'm Cheryl, You're
only Michael Barry show, go ahead, call.
Speaker 6 (14:01):
I just wanted to let you know I am a
Trump fan from day one, even before I didn't really
ever know much about him. I didn't even I never
watched his TV show. But he's the first person I
ever donated to in a political campaign. And I watched
that debate the other night, and I'm telling you, lives
(14:22):
have a self serving agenda, and that is that says
everything to me. Everything she said she lied about.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Sure, I get any I just want to do you.
Speaker 11 (14:38):
Also that Thank you, Michey.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Did you see she went twelve years old with her
little giggle? I love that. Tell me about yourself, Cheryl.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Well.
Speaker 6 (14:49):
I live in Humble. I have a dog rescue and
dog whiskies right now are just drowning. We are not
adopting dogs out. The vet bills are outrageous and the
dog food is outrageous, and it's been real difficult for
all of us. But I have a lot of issues.
(15:10):
I tried to get an appointment with Sylvester Turner to
talk to him about getting a span neuter program going
here in Houston, and he canceled my appointment when he
found out I assuming dog rescue.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
And I'm going to try to get.
Speaker 6 (15:23):
Another appointment with this mayor and just see where we
can go. But things are so bad right now, I
can't even believe that this is America. I see people
throwing trash out on the road. They throw it out
in my ditch all the time, and it just infuriates me.
I want America to be America, and it's really falling short.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
You know what, Let's fix that. Let's fix that, Cheryl.
Thank you for your call, sweetheart. I can tell you
are resilient. Jared, you're only Michael Berry show.
Speaker 10 (15:58):
Go ahead, brother, Good morn than Michael White, Christian, married male,
thirty years old, father of four soon to be well,
father of three soon to before and I'm voting for
Trump because the cost of everything of John up, it's
hard to keep up in This country needs strong leadership.
Peace through strength is a real thing, and I worry
(16:20):
for the future of my children. I believe that hostile
regimes around the world are looking their lists at the
weakness Biden shows every day and as a prospect of
the Harris presidency.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Well said Shane, you're on the Michael Berry show. Go ahead, brother, Hey, Michael.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
I am married, I'm a father of three, and I
am a local little league president, and being such, I
naturally spend a large portion of my day worried about
the use of our community. And I could not live
with myself if I didn't vote for Trump to selection.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Let's get one more in here real quick, John, you
got twenty seconds go.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
I'm John Colorado. With all due respect, mister President, I'd
like to not pay taxes.
Speaker 8 (17:14):
On my Social Security over time doesn't matter to me.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Well, every proposal can't matter to every person. But I
do hear what you're saying, father, for reminding you health
control of that population. Adi pab on.
Speaker 12 (17:42):
Me or even buy a Hastian goodbye everybody?
Speaker 11 (17:58):
Oh yeah, yes, and this.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Takes me back to second right. Kind of weird than
a song you like so much as an adult was
the song you first heard in the second grade. You
know what it makes me want to do?
Speaker 5 (18:27):
I want to give it all.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
It makes me want to lean in slightly to the left,
kick that right foot out, turn the curve a little
bit faster, maybe kick one foot up, skate on one foot,
yeah right, wearing my kiss belt buckle. Here we go,
(18:50):
Here we go, try it out. Is that moment where
you thinking, I think I'm going to ask Christie Daily
(19:11):
on couple skate for two reasons.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
Number one, she's the hottest second rider.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Number Two, she can skate backwards, so nobody will notice
that I can't, because otherwise you just got to skate
holding hands. And that's that's first grade level stuff. Big boy.
Speaker 5 (19:35):
Now here we go, here we go, get right there.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
I wonder if any Major League Baseball players use this
as their walk up song, because cut at the right
moment could be perfect. One of the astros uses want
to be involved. And I was thinking, kidd, you weren't
even alive when this came out, But I did notice
(21:21):
how many people were singing in the stands going to
the Texans game Sunday night. No, not cal McNair, thank
you very much. I wouldn't mind going with cal McNair. Here,
been in the in the owner suite. Bob McNair invited
me the owner suite a few times when he was alive.
(21:43):
That's a that's a that's a CNB scen scene right there.
Yes it is. And that's the best food in the
whole stadium. Yeah, I mean, I think they got Matt
Bryce or somebody bringing in the food there. That's who.
They got quality stuff in there. They got mass potatoes
that you said, why do you buys that? Oh, fancy
football is mashed potatoes? Yeah, okay, you know, I don't
(22:06):
want to jack mac up, but a few years ago.
I remember he gave us a sweet when the Eagles
were coming to town, and I invited Jalen Hurt's whole family.
I don't know how many of them ended up shortan,
but I said to our listeners, if you come by
being a Eagles fan, you come by it honestly. In
(22:30):
other words, don't just say that to get the tickets.
But if you live in Houston now and you come
by being an Eagles fan honestly, then we're gonna give
the tickets to you. And Joe Dana uh did them
an escort going in, and I mean the they did
it up nice. Mac Mac took care of us. I
(22:51):
got a message from David Maulsby and he said, a
sweet lady, and Michael Berry show listener obviously now named
Diana Stewart drove in from Louisiana to volunteer in our
supply room. That's sweet. She probably volunteered thinking I can't
(23:11):
give any money, but I can give of my time.
She also donated one hundred thousand dollars. Who donates one
hundred thousand dollars and also says, hey put me in
the window list warehouse room. She don't get one hundred
thousand of me is she? Because I mean, I'm all
forgiving her some love, but that'd probably get on my
(23:32):
nerves a little bit. Ramon haha. But who gives one
hundred thousand dollars and says, oh, the reason I'm in
a jumpsuit and tennis shoes is putting me in the
dirty job section of the location. Thank you, Diana Stewart
from Louisiana. This drives me crazy. People think Louisiana is
one place. It is, so I need to know where
(23:54):
is she from? Johnson BYU? Is she from Homa? Where
is she from Crowley? That's like saying, oh, it's somebody
from Texas. Okay, well where are they from? Is it Amarillo?
Or is it Dallas? Or is it RGV or is
it passing it? It matters, It matters. I was in
(24:15):
Orange yesterday. I had to go visit my parents, my
mom going to visit my mom, really, but visiting my parents.
And I went to Walmart and Orange the Walmart's to
get some bluebellt ice cream for my mother. And I'm
leaving and I've been away so long that unless somebody
(24:35):
went to school with me, They're not going to recognize me,
whereas in Houston people will recognize because they listened to
the show. They so anyway, I prefer that I'm in
my mode. I'm going along and I walk out, and
I'm walking I got my three bags of ice cream
because there's too cold to hold in my hand. If
that makes me a pansy, so bit. But I'm carrying
my three bags of my three bags in my hand,
(24:57):
and I'm walking out thinking about my mom and and
I hear mister Barry. So my immediate thought is, that's
not somebody I went to school with, or they wouldn't
have said mister Barry. And I turned back and it's
a guy probably in his late fifties, and he said,
I love your show, and Orange loves your show, and
(25:17):
we are so proud of you. And he got back
in this truck and drove off like he wasn't gonna
bother me. And I thought, wow, that I don't think
you could have made me more proud than to hear
that you always want. I don't know, there's just something.
Speaker 10 (25:35):
About that, Michael Barry.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
All American texts, that's what I am. From the Great
Lakes of Minnesode to the banks of the Real Grain
but I've traveled all the back roads across as promise
sling All American Texan.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
That's what I am.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Fain Country music has been my life's work, taking it
on the road in a great, big shiny bus. I
picked my way up and down all through these fifty staines,
waving the long Stuff flag all along the way.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
All American Texas, That's what I am.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
From Malabod to ten, both two and back down the Galustein.
You can take me far away from home, but I
find my way in an all American Texan.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
That's what I am.
Speaker 8 (27:00):
At.
Speaker 9 (27:20):
I can't pass of the BUCkies on Texas Barbecue. I
look Bob will see z top Van the Dallas Cowboys too,
But I've seen for David.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Leonard, mn ConA and leon On.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
But I'm a whole lot more at home.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
On the Michael Ferry Show, zaar he is from Orange, Texas,
All American Texas.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
You know there's a lot of good stuff in that song,
but I think that's my favorite. I'm the smokes to
the Route. David Marseby writes, Matt Brice and his team
from American Federal American Grille came out and fed our
veterans this Wednesday evening chicken Federal. That's what I was
get with couscous because it gives me all my protein
and it's low carb and it's delicious. Short ribs with risotto,
(28:10):
how salad, chocolate brownies. Well, here's the best part about
Matt Brice doing that. On Wednesday. As he woke up
that morning it was his birthday, he was already planning
to cook for the veterans. That's how he wanted to
celebrate his birthday, spend some time with his kids in
(28:31):
the afternoon, and then cook for the veterans that night
as his way of giving back. But that morning he
sent me a message. It was September eleventh, and he said,
I want to do something for the veterans. I want
to do something for our first responders who on that
(28:53):
day really showed what they're all about. And he said,
if would you mind putting the word out that we
will any and all first responders who come out today.
And they did, and it was a cost of I
think it was almost twenty thousand dollars. They ring it up,
they just comp it. I think it was a cost
(29:15):
of thirty two thousand dollars. I think that's right, thirty
two thousand dollars if I remember correctly, David Mosby said. Also,
Rich Edie, who owns the wild Bird Unlimited, owns two
of them. That's where we get all our bird feed.
They bought dinner one evening, Hippo Burger did Adams Homes
(29:37):
donated meals this week. So for all of you who
donate to Camp Hope, I am incredibly thankful to you,
and that includes our coffee guru. Let me see if
I can find an email on this This Sunday, Cat's
(29:58):
Coffee turns twenty one, twenty one years of Cat's Coffee,
and they're celebrating at the Carbock Brewery. It is if
you're just looking for a fun party to go to
and you want to make a ten dollars donation to
Camp Hope. They're donating everything between Carbock and Camp and
Cat's Coffee. It's the Cat's Coffee twenty first Birthday Blast
(30:22):

merch gives giveaways. It's a pretty cool deal. L Bilio
Bakery will be their common Bond will be there. Grace
Underfire PTSD Foundation will have a tent and some veterans
(30:49):
and counselors there if somebody's there. A lot of guys
are not sure if they're a lot of guys don't
feel comfortable going to Camp Hope because they're not sure
if they're bad off enough right, And some of those
guys end up taking their lives. We know this because
they function day to day and one day it gets
to be too much. That's why Camp Hope goes to
(31:11):
so many places and just makes themselves available. And a
guy will come wandering up, and I've watched this conversation.
It goes like this, man, I really appreciate what you
guys are doing for the veterans. Yes, sir, it's good
y'all are doing that because there's a lot of guys
out there that are really suffering. Yes, sir, And it's
good that that y'all are doing that. It starts with
(31:31):
a commendation and kind of and it kind of easy,
you know, I served, Oh really, where did two tours
in IRA act? Red flag? That guy very likely, very possibly,
should I say, could be suffering, and then a little bit,
(31:53):
a little bit and a little bit until he realizes, Okay,
I might not be the guy that they save from
the high dive of a four story building getting ready
to jump off to his death, and they talk me off,
And I may just be a guy that needs help
and it's free and it's available. I may I may
(32:14):
just be that, And that might be it. Taco's a
Go Go will be there, Prestige oysters will be there,

Speaker 4 (33:25):
Michael Flanks for taking my call. I'm a single guy.
I've got three children, I've got two generated have three grandchildren,
and I vote for Trump and they're the main reason
I vote for Trump. And you know, you can you
can hear the guy talk and you can tell he
he really cares about the American people. As far as
(33:49):
Kamala Harris is concerned, this flip flopping, as they call it,
there's nothing but lie, you know. She said the border
was secure. She said that by in his mental capacity,
was wonderful. She passed passed an inflation reduction Act, which
which Biden has in the past week has admitted it
(34:10):
was nothing but the Green New Deal. And her running
mate is nothing but a proven lire and a disgrace
to the enderform.
Speaker 9 (34:23):
Bo Dore's reminding you health to control the that population.
Speaker 12 (34:27):
Have you have paid m or eaten by a Haittian
goodbye everybody,
It's that time, time, time.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Time, luck and load.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Michael Very Show is on the air. In fact, drunk
and stupid is no way to go through life.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
Stuck.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
I'm shaking the dust of this crummy little town off
my feet, and I'm gonna see the world.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
My hell old the fry gass water type that.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
Is Alia, Yes.
Speaker 5 (00:35):
We believe it is.
Speaker 6 (00:37):
No.
Speaker 5 (00:41):
I'm going steady and my French kiss.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
So everybody does that. Yeah, but Daddy says, I'm the desk.
Speaker 7 (00:48):
Daddy, a careful man, a beaver.
Speaker 5 (00:51):
Everybody down around we gotta what on telescope?
Speaker 2 (00:56):
What in the wide wise world of sports is a go?
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Greg Morgan with lone Star Stucco says Greg Morgan, lone
Star Stucco. I want my two children to have the
same pride in their country as I did during my upbringing.
In the Reagan administration, Richard Martinez writes, I wish I
could call, but I can't while I'm at work, too
noisy in here. I'm voting for Trump because I have
two family members in the military. I have a grandson
(01:28):
in the Marines and a nephew in the Air Force.
I'm okay if they have to go defend our country,
but I'm not okay. If it's for a stupid war,
Democrats will get us into a stupid war, respectfully, Richard Martinez,
Cedar Creek, twenty miles east of Weird Parentheses, Austin. I
think they're preparing us for war. I've said this all along.
(01:50):
I think we launch into war within the coming days. Here,
I'm not predicting that. I think there's a good chance
of it. Blink And is making statements about our involvement
which effectively are pushing Putin into war. And I believe
(02:14):
that's the intention to engage Putin because when we go
to war, the media will say, there's no time for
politics right now. We've got to rally around the president.
Biden steps down. Kamin is the president, she's the commander
in chief. You become more popular during war. Bill Clinton
lamented that during his presidency he could not be a
(02:34):
commander in chief of a wartime nation, because that's how
you're remembered throughout history. Nobody remembers the socialism of FDR.
They remember World War Two. It's just the way it works.
I don't know if Jim has loaded it. Let me
see the Polish leader, maybe Prime Minister I don't know.
(02:56):
I think it was a Polish prime minister made a
statement yesterday, the most of great yessive statement against a
United States leader I've ever seen. He was criticizing blinking,
and he said, go home. We are not fighting your war.
Poland's boys and girls are not going to die in
America's war for Ukraine. Go home, do not cause a
(03:21):
war here. And he's right. I've got a seventeen and
eighteen year old. I don't want to sacrifice them on
the altar of Kamala Harris's re election campaign and the
pillar to build up the establishment that runs this country.
This quote I keep going back to by Glenn Greenwald,
(03:45):
the US has no functional president and has not had
one for months, and it's barely noticeable and barely matters
because there's a permanent, unelucted mission that runs the government.
Think about that for a moment. The US has no
(04:06):
functional president. That's a true statement. Ernest Anyway said, you
start with one true statement. That's how you write. You
write one true statement, and then you add another true sentence.
The US has no functional president and has not had
one for months. That's not in dispute, and it's barely noticeable.
(04:31):
How true is that You might not have even thought
about it for a while and barely matters. Yeah, nobody
says the government's functioning better or worse without a president.
It's just functioning, whatever that means, because there's a permanent,
unelected machine that runs the government. We like to think
(04:56):
that every two years with Congress in the Senate and
every four years with the presidency, the American people's will
is manifested into leadership and an agenda. But that's not true,
is it? Problem is nobody told Trump the Bushes were fine.
The Romneys would have been fined, the mccains would have
(05:19):
been fined. Obama was fine, these people are fine. Biden
was a product of it. He knew the game. He's
like the elected mayor in the city that has the
city manager that runs the city, and the elected mayor
tries to do something and before you know it, there's
(05:39):
a scandal on him because you're not really you're just
here for the parades and get to tell everybody that
you're the mayor of your little town. Don't try to
run anything. The city manager will. That happens in a
lot of small rural towns, and it's not till the
mayor tries to do something that they have a problem
with him. All right, to the phone lines, we go Trenton.
You're on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, what he'll
(06:05):
get you?
Speaker 7 (06:05):
Election?
Speaker 1 (06:09):
Go ahead.
Speaker 7 (06:11):
It's election season in America, so that means Washington, DC's
and high gears selling false promises, slogans, and platitudes. Their
airwaves are so saturated within authenticity. Joy is a word
being sold to us as if the only way for
us to find joy in our life is to cast
(06:31):
a vote for that candidate. This is a superficial joy,
a fake joy. True joy is an act like your
mother going into a gas station for a pack of
cigarettes and coming back with a blue belt bombstick. She
didn't get it for you because you've been a good boy.
She didn't get it for you because she wants you
to a vote. She got it for you because she
(06:53):
loves you and wants you to be happy. Talk of
unity is through gritted teeth. People of different sides of
the aisle speak of unity and only manage affecsimile of
unity when it suits their needs. In the moments that
we need, only look at the bombstick for example of
true unity. Strong, old traditional fudge chocolate ice cream next
(07:18):
to eccentric and contemporary and ice cream. These two ice
creams have different political opinions. They're probably voting for different candidates.
They're a symbol of what I hope our country can
be one day.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
A chocolate and banana bomb. I can't think of anything better.
And then you have the people that did the red,
white and blue. I don't even know what those flavors are.
Do you remember when they came out with the red,
white and blue bomb?
Speaker 7 (07:54):
Yet, sir, that is the bombs. Does the bomb pop
not the bombstick? Please? Please, please don't be Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Oh, I'm glad you know the vernacular. And I will
now reduce it to memory because I never understood the
point of that. That chocolate banana that was Trenton, extraordinarily
well done. You've called in before, yes sir, okay, and
I asked you to call back, yes sir.
Speaker 7 (08:25):
If you'll have me next week, i'll have another message.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
I'll renew my call for you to prepare something for
us again. It is about the perfect amount of time.
And I challenge every one of you during the course
of the week, those of you that are driving around
whether it's a little recorder or your phone or whatever.
Record your thoughts, write them down, structure it, make it
(08:48):
thirty seconds, deliver it, be proud of it. You never
know who's listening, You never know who you're affecting.
Speaker 5 (08:54):
Joe, this has been race driver Michael Barry, funny hacker.
That's Ramond King of Deans suggested for general.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Audiences September nineteenth and twentieth of twenty fourteen, eleven months
into opening the RCC, we had Charlie Daniels on Friday
night and Marshall Tucker Brand on Saturday night. I don't
(09:25):
know that it gets any better. And when I brought
the veterans up, which we would do, who was first,
meet a neighbor, make a friend. Second was this is
not a singles bar, This is not a hookup bar.
This is a place where couples can come on date
(09:45):
night because there are too few of those, feel comfortable
and safe and be around other like minded people. And
third we bring down our veterans. And I would always
go through each of the conflicts and Vietnam veterans for
the last because I don't think they got their fair
due and I wanted to give them a little extra
(10:05):
bump when I'm doing that. Doug Gray, the lead singer.
Of course they had two lead singers. You know that
one died. But Doug Gray, the lead singer, comes out, Dude,
you're in the middle of my my deal. This is
our deal. This is bigger than your show. This is
our deal. Puts his big, old heavy hand on my shoulder.
(10:27):
It kind of pulls me down so he can speak
into my ear, and he said, I'm a Vietnam veteran.
What this is getting heavy? Michael, this is a lot
to throw on us. It's all early this morning, but
it was true, and so I announced it. What else
(10:47):
do I do? Charlie Robinson says, bring me back on
for an encore. You bring him back on. So I did,
and when they came back, he reminded me we got
there that that was so many. You think about how
many shows they've done over the years. I mean, what
are we fifty years? One hundred shows a year, five thousand,
(11:10):
probably more than one hundred. And he remembered that. When
he showed up, he said, Hey, remember I'm a Vietnam
better Okay, all right, I love it, I love it
all right. To the phone lines, we go seven one three,
one thousand, seven one three nine one thousand. Jeremy, you're
on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 8 (11:30):
Go ahead, Sir, I got a quick forty story for you.
Mine eight year old so and brought home to me yesterday.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
He goes to a small school.
Speaker 8 (11:39):
He came home, he said, Daddy, I took a poll today.
I said, okay, who uh?
Speaker 3 (11:45):
Who'd you poll?
Speaker 8 (11:46):
He said?
Speaker 7 (11:46):
The third graders said all right.
Speaker 8 (11:49):
Well, how many do you pull? He said? I think
I pulled twenty two? And knowing my son, there's there's
no telling what's going to come out of his mouth next.
So I said, what what was the poll?
Speaker 9 (12:01):
What do you ask him?
Speaker 8 (12:02):
Son? He said, I just asked him Donald Trump or
Kamala Harris not kind of laughed.
Speaker 5 (12:08):
I said, well, what did you come up with?
Speaker 10 (12:09):
He said, well, basically, we got three idiots.
Speaker 8 (12:12):
In third grade?
Speaker 1 (12:14):
Amen? Amen, what's the guy's name? Major Garrett? Was it
CBS you we're talking about? He said he spoke to
randomly spoke to twenty people in Michigan to ask them
their opinion, and he said every one of them was
(12:35):
for Trump. But he said that he realized that the
Trump support was the two words he used was real
and resilient. Resilient is one of my favorite words. Our
friend Eddie Martini is in Baton Rouge right now burying
(12:55):
his mother in law, Liz's mother, and I asked him
where he was staying. He said, we're at the Marriott.
This was during the last break. We're at the Marriott,
and he said, it's full of Lineman power workers. And
you know, Eddie's from metaies from New Orleans. And then,
(13:20):
of course he lived in Baton Rouge, ran radio stations
there and obviously went to LSU, very proud LSU graduate.
Isn't it interesting Louisiana gets blasted by Francine and the
national news never talks about it. New York gets a
hangnail and we got to, you know, we gotta have
(13:41):
songs about it, and yes, no, no, no, ramone the
things that come out of your mouth. If I was
to be dumb enough to ever say, I'm Cheryl, You're
only Michael Barry show, go ahead, call.
Speaker 6 (14:01):
I just wanted to let you know I am a
Trump fan from day one, even before I didn't really
ever know much about him. I didn't even I never
watched his TV show. But he's the first person I
ever donated to in a political campaign. And I watched
that debate the other night, and I'm telling you, lives
(14:22):
have a self serving agenda, and that is that says
everything to me. Everything she said she lied about.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Sure, I get any I just want to do you.
Speaker 11 (14:38):
Also that Thank you, Michey.
Speaker 1 (14:41):
Did you see she went twelve years old with her
little giggle? I love that. Tell me about yourself, Cheryl.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Well.
Speaker 6 (14:49):
I live in Humble. I have a dog rescue and
dog whiskies right now are just drowning. We are not
adopting dogs out. The vet bills are outrageous and the
dog food is outrageous, and it's been real difficult for
all of us. But I have a lot of issues.
(15:10):
I tried to get an appointment with Sylvester Turner to
talk to him about getting a span neuter program going
here in Houston, and he canceled my appointment when he
found out I assuming dog rescue.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
And I'm going to try to get.
Speaker 6 (15:23):
Another appointment with this mayor and just see where we
can go. But things are so bad right now, I
can't even believe that this is America. I see people
throwing trash out on the road. They throw it out
in my ditch all the time, and it just infuriates me.
I want America to be America, and it's really falling short.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
You know what, Let's fix that. Let's fix that, Cheryl.
Thank you for your call, sweetheart. I can tell you
are resilient. Jared, you're only Michael Berry show.
Speaker 10 (15:58):
Go ahead, brother, Good morn than Michael White, Christian, married male,
thirty years old, father of four soon to be well,
father of three soon to before and I'm voting for
Trump because the cost of everything of John up, it's
hard to keep up in This country needs strong leadership.
Peace through strength is a real thing, and I worry
(16:20):
for the future of my children. I believe that hostile
regimes around the world are looking their lists at the
weakness Biden shows every day and as a prospect of
the Harris presidency.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Well said Shane, you're on the Michael Berry show. Go ahead, brother, Hey, Michael.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
I am married, I'm a father of three, and I
am a local little league president, and being such, I
naturally spend a large portion of my day worried about
the use of our community. And I could not live
with myself if I didn't vote for Trump to selection.
Speaker 1 (17:03):
Let's get one more in here real quick, John, you
got twenty seconds go.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
I'm John Colorado. With all due respect, mister President, I'd
like to not pay taxes.
Speaker 8 (17:14):
On my Social Security over time doesn't matter to me.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Well, every proposal can't matter to every person. But I
do hear what you're saying, father, for reminding you health
control of that population. Adi pab on.
Speaker 12 (17:42):
Me or even buy a Hastian goodbye everybody?
Speaker 11 (17:58):
Oh yeah, yes, and this.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Takes me back to second right. Kind of weird than
a song you like so much as an adult was
the song you first heard in the second grade. You
know what it makes me want to do?
Speaker 5 (18:27):
I want to give it all.
Speaker 1 (18:30):
It makes me want to lean in slightly to the left,
kick that right foot out, turn the curve a little
bit faster, maybe kick one foot up, skate on one foot,
yeah right, wearing my kiss belt buckle. Here we go,
(18:50):
Here we go, try it out. Is that moment where
you thinking, I think I'm going to ask Christie Daily
(19:11):
on couple skate for two reasons.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
Number one, she's the hottest second rider.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Number Two, she can skate backwards, so nobody will notice
that I can't, because otherwise you just got to skate
holding hands. And that's that's first grade level stuff. Big boy.
Speaker 5 (19:35):
Now here we go, here we go, get right there.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
I wonder if any Major League Baseball players use this
as their walk up song, because cut at the right
moment could be perfect. One of the astros uses want
to be involved. And I was thinking, kidd, you weren't
even alive when this came out, But I did notice
(21:21):
how many people were singing in the stands going to
the Texans game Sunday night. No, not cal McNair, thank
you very much. I wouldn't mind going with cal McNair. Here,
been in the in the owner suite. Bob McNair invited
me the owner suite a few times when he was alive.
(21:43):
That's a that's a that's a CNB scen scene right there.
Yes it is. And that's the best food in the
whole stadium. Yeah, I mean, I think they got Matt
Bryce or somebody bringing in the food there. That's who.
They got quality stuff in there. They got mass potatoes
that you said, why do you buys that? Oh, fancy
football is mashed potatoes? Yeah, okay, you know, I don't
(22:06):
want to jack mac up, but a few years ago.
I remember he gave us a sweet when the Eagles
were coming to town, and I invited Jalen Hurt's whole family.
I don't know how many of them ended up shortan,
but I said to our listeners, if you come by
being a Eagles fan, you come by it honestly. In
(22:30):
other words, don't just say that to get the tickets.
But if you live in Houston now and you come
by being an Eagles fan honestly, then we're gonna give
the tickets to you. And Joe Dana uh did them
an escort going in, and I mean the they did
it up nice. Mac Mac took care of us. I
(22:51):
got a message from David Maulsby and he said, a
sweet lady, and Michael Berry show listener obviously now named
Diana Stewart drove in from Louisiana to volunteer in our
supply room. That's sweet. She probably volunteered thinking I can't
(23:11):
give any money, but I can give of my time.
She also donated one hundred thousand dollars. Who donates one
hundred thousand dollars and also says, hey put me in
the window list warehouse room. She don't get one hundred
thousand of me is she? Because I mean, I'm all
forgiving her some love, but that'd probably get on my
(23:32):
nerves a little bit. Ramon haha. But who gives one
hundred thousand dollars and says, oh, the reason I'm in
a jumpsuit and tennis shoes is putting me in the
dirty job section of the location. Thank you, Diana Stewart
from Louisiana. This drives me crazy. People think Louisiana is
one place. It is, so I need to know where
(23:54):
is she from? Johnson BYU? Is she from Homa? Where
is she from Crowley? That's like saying, oh, it's somebody
from Texas. Okay, well where are they from? Is it Amarillo?
Or is it Dallas? Or is it RGV or is
it passing it? It matters, It matters. I was in
(24:15):
Orange yesterday. I had to go visit my parents, my
mom going to visit my mom, really, but visiting my parents.
And I went to Walmart and Orange the Walmart's to
get some bluebellt ice cream for my mother. And I'm
leaving and I've been away so long that unless somebody
(24:35):
went to school with me, They're not going to recognize me,
whereas in Houston people will recognize because they listened to
the show. They so anyway, I prefer that I'm in
my mode. I'm going along and I walk out, and
I'm walking I got my three bags of ice cream
because there's too cold to hold in my hand. If
that makes me a pansy, so bit. But I'm carrying
my three bags of my three bags in my hand,
(24:57):
and I'm walking out thinking about my mom and and
I hear mister Barry. So my immediate thought is, that's
not somebody I went to school with, or they wouldn't
have said mister Barry. And I turned back and it's
a guy probably in his late fifties, and he said,
I love your show, and Orange loves your show, and
(25:17):
we are so proud of you. And he got back
in this truck and drove off like he wasn't gonna
bother me. And I thought, wow, that I don't think
you could have made me more proud than to hear
that you always want. I don't know, there's just something.
Speaker 10 (25:35):
About that, Michael Barry.
Speaker 2 (25:57):
All American texts, that's what I am. From the Great
Lakes of Minnesode to the banks of the Real Grain
but I've traveled all the back roads across as promise
sling All American Texan.
Speaker 3 (26:15):
That's what I am.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Fain Country music has been my life's work, taking it
on the road in a great, big shiny bus. I
picked my way up and down all through these fifty staines,
waving the long Stuff flag all along the way.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
All American Texas, That's what I am.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
From Malabod to ten, both two and back down the Galustein.
You can take me far away from home, but I
find my way in an all American Texan.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
That's what I am.
Speaker 8 (27:00):
At.
Speaker 9 (27:20):
I can't pass of the BUCkies on Texas Barbecue. I
look Bob will see z top Van the Dallas Cowboys too,
But I've seen for David.
Speaker 2 (27:31):
Leonard, mn ConA and leon On.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
But I'm a whole lot more at home.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
On the Michael Ferry Show, zaar he is from Orange, Texas,
All American Texas.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
You know there's a lot of good stuff in that song,
but I think that's my favorite. I'm the smokes to
the Route. David Marseby writes, Matt Brice and his team
from American Federal American Grille came out and fed our
veterans this Wednesday evening chicken Federal. That's what I was
get with couscous because it gives me all my protein
and it's low carb and it's delicious. Short ribs with risotto,
(28:10):
how salad, chocolate brownies. Well, here's the best part about
Matt Brice doing that. On Wednesday. As he woke up
that morning it was his birthday, he was already planning
to cook for the veterans. That's how he wanted to
celebrate his birthday, spend some time with his kids in
(28:31):
the afternoon, and then cook for the veterans that night
as his way of giving back. But that morning he
sent me a message. It was September eleventh, and he said,
I want to do something for the veterans. I want
to do something for our first responders who on that
(28:53):
day really showed what they're all about. And he said,
if would you mind putting the word out that we
will any and all first responders who come out today.
And they did, and it was a cost of I
think it was almost twenty thousand dollars. They ring it up,
they just comp it. I think it was a cost
(29:15):
of thirty two thousand dollars. I think that's right, thirty
two thousand dollars if I remember correctly, David Mosby said. Also,
Rich Edie, who owns the wild Bird Unlimited, owns two
of them. That's where we get all our bird feed.
They bought dinner one evening, Hippo Burger did Adams Homes
(29:37):
donated meals this week. So for all of you who
donate to Camp Hope, I am incredibly thankful to you,
and that includes our coffee guru. Let me see if
I can find an email on this This Sunday, Cat's
(29:58):
Coffee turns twenty one, twenty one years of Cat's Coffee,
and they're celebrating at the Carbock Brewery. It is if
you're just looking for a fun party to go to
and you want to make a ten dollars donation to
Camp Hope. They're donating everything between Carbock and Camp and
Cat's Coffee. It's the Cat's Coffee twenty first Birthday Blast
(30:22):
benefiting PTSD Foundation of America. You get in for free,
they do ask for a ten dollars donation. It all
goes to Camp Hope and there's food, drinks, live music,
merch gives giveaways. It's a pretty cool deal. L Bilio
Bakery will be their common Bond will be there. Grace
Underfire PTSD Foundation will have a tent and some veterans
(30:49):
and counselors there if somebody's there. A lot of guys
are not sure if they're a lot of guys don't
feel comfortable going to Camp Hope because they're not sure
if they're bad off enough right, And some of those
guys end up taking their lives. We know this because
they function day to day and one day it gets
to be too much. That's why Camp Hope goes to
(31:11):
so many places and just makes themselves available. And a
guy will come wandering up, and I've watched this conversation.
It goes like this, man, I really appreciate what you
guys are doing for the veterans. Yes, sir, it's good
y'all are doing that because there's a lot of guys
out there that are really suffering. Yes, sir, And it's
good that that y'all are doing that. It starts with
(31:31):
a commendation and kind of and it kind of easy,
you know, I served, Oh really, where did two tours
in IRA act? Red flag? That guy very likely, very possibly,
should I say, could be suffering, and then a little bit,
(31:53):
a little bit and a little bit until he realizes, Okay,
I might not be the guy that they save from
the high dive of a four story building getting ready
to jump off to his death, and they talk me off,
And I may just be a guy that needs help
and it's free and it's available. I may I may
(32:14):
just be that, And that might be it. Taco's a
Go Go will be there, Prestige oysters will be there,
and everything. French toast. You like French toast? My wife
loves French toasts. What it's in third place behind pancakes
and waffles. Yeah, okay, I can see that that's the problem.
(32:36):
