Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load. So
Michael Arry Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
But I was driving up here a little cypress to
get this old Turquois Cadillac of Washington who pulled me over.
But the Texas State trooper woman talking about is it
any reason that you don't be having your seat belt on?
I said yes, because it's uncomfortable, and it mashed.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
My breastlesses, and she had a nerve to write.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Me a ticket anyway and scan my car and and
for all my information.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
I felt so violated.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
I wish that people would quit trying to raise money
by bothering me.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
I ain't got no money for these people. Obama got
all my money that way for him to give it back.
When is that sequester's supposed to kick in?
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Somebody needed to ask Michael bar whatever happened to that
North vitmen. These man Kim south Um chaw ooh ooh
or whatever his name is. One minute he was blusting
in the blow beating and talking like the crazy last
drunk man at the karaoke bar. And now he done disappear.
I bet with him. Security guard slipped him some bad
(01:23):
bou dam balls and away he went, you don't never
hear about it though. They could replace him easy and
just pick anybody off the street. And I told you
they trying to get me to run for city council
and arrange. Oh no, man, I've watched that stuff on
the local government access channel. They have them city council
meeting that is televised chloroform.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
So what's on the menu at my house?
Speaker 2 (01:48):
I know you homegirl, you will be hungry later today
if you come by here.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
I'm having a baked potato festival. I got that microwave
fired up and now.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
I got two pounds of butter and some shredded government cheese.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I should run the drive throughout here.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
So if y'all hungry, y'all come up at my house
and get you a baked potato baby. And now here
he come, hot, hot, hot, Michael Berry, all aggravated and
bothered about something, getting ready to do some of that
earth while yemmen, And you know you want a head.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
That's why you're listening that and because.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
You don't want to sit there and listen at NPR
talk about a transsexual art collecting the Central African.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Republic or something. That's just all right, Michael come.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
On, hey, Debbie, you're only Michael Berry show. Go ahead, sweetheart.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Hi.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
I just wanted to say I'm voting for Donald Trump
and praying for his safety every day.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Also, why are you voting for him? What specifically? Well,
real life, really.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
Really concerned about the future for my children and grandchildren.
My daughter, like the lady before, got laid off after
sixteen years with their company because they were outsourcing her
job to the Philippines, and she has not been able
to find a job either. So and I have two grandchildren,
so I'm worried about their future as well.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
You know what surprises me how many people will how
many people are hurt by offshoring, outsourcing, all of these
things in the global economy. As globalism takes hold, you
(03:46):
have what you have in third world countries. You have
the really rich and they're really poor. There is no
middle class. A strong middle class has always been the
bulwark of American Society's that's what that's the found that's
what props the fence up. And when you lose that,
(04:07):
you create a very very different dynamic. And that's what
always made this country wonderful. That's what people who came
here noticed is everybody feels like they're middle class. Even
the working class thinks they're middle class, they're not. And
the upper class, unless you're fabulously wealthy, still feels like
they're in the middle class. You know, Kamala Harris says
(04:31):
with a straight face that she was raised middle class.
Look at what her parents did and what they made.
She was not middle class. She was upper middle class
or lower upper class. But everybody feels like they're in
this middle and everybody wants to be in that middle.
Those are the values. That's why Joe Biden pitched himself
as middle class. Joe is you know, they made fun
(04:54):
of me for being middle class, Joe, but I'm proud
of it. I'm middle class. No, you were selling the
country out. Speaking of which, Zelenski. Vladimir Zelensky was in
Pennsylvania yesterday on a US government plane that transported him there,
touring a munitions factory and effectively campaigning for Kamala Harris.
(05:17):
Have you seen the movie Wag the Dog? Have you
seen it? The point is they're going to war, but
they don't call it a war. They call it a pageant.
They need the pageant in order to mobilize the people.
That's what they're doing here. They're gonna send your sons
to war. It's coming probably before the election. They're going
(05:39):
to send your son to war because that will make
President Kamala popular. She's going to be the president, and
they're going to start a war. They're already set for it.
They want it, they love it. That's why Cheney loves her.
They're all part of that group. But this global economy
(06:00):
means that labor costs less in other countries. Once you
solved the transportation dilemma, that was the problem. The reason
Americans could make high wages and keep their jobs in
manufacturing in the past was because if you manufactured something abroad,
you couldn't get that product here. The transportation and logistics
(06:23):
were impractical. Once they solved that problem, it meant that
American wages were off pace. We were out of line
with international wages. You can't live the way we live
on what a Chinaman or a Bangladeshi or somebody in
(06:46):
Thailand or Vietnam makes. You can't. We can't live on
what they make, right, and we can't make what we
make and sell our products against them. Because the consumer,
which is also us, wants the cheapest price in the
(07:08):
highest wages. People are not as principal as they want
to tell you they are. Look at how many people
will drive past Susie and Tommy's Burger to go to
the National Burger a quarter mile up the road without
any regard to local jobs, local ownership to save a buck.
(07:34):
People used to complain that the Walmart was coming to town.
They were mad about it, and they were mad it
was going to drive the hardware store out of business,
and it did, and the bike store out of business,
and it did, and the gun store out of business,
and it did. And then once all those were gone,
then Walmart didn't sell guns anymore. But there wasn't a
(07:55):
local gun store anymore. Well, how come you didn't just
keep going to Bob's gun store. Well, I know, I'm
and people get embarrassed. I mean I remember being on
the air fifteen years ago, and people would be embarrassed
when I would ask him this question. They'd go, well,
some day I like to go up there late at night,
you know. And they got a real good return policy.
And okay, just understand, you're digging your own grave if
(08:20):
you don't support with your dollars the values that you
believe in, then you won't end up with the businesses
owned by people who share your values. If what you
choose to spend your dollars on, which is where you vote,
is on businesses that you know good and well, are
not going to sell guns that don't share your values,
(08:43):
then just don't be shocked when they do things that
you can't believe. Because I got news for you. You can
try a boycott against the big boys. It ain't gonna
make a difference. You're better off a by cut on
local businesses that share your your beliefs, and if you've
got to pay an extra buck to pay it.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
I was traveling down the road feeling hungry and cold.
Speaker 7 (09:16):
I saw signs and food and drinks, but everyone so
naturally I thought I would take me a little sign.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
I saw so much food.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
There was water coming from my nd hey, there was coming,
There was talking.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
There was kinda hard long tall masks and wind up
up the yards.
Speaker 8 (09:40):
And saw somebody grabbing me, threw me out of my chair.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Set before you can't eat, you gotta dance like frail
to stuff. You know I can't hate, you know I
can't dang it. You know I can't hitt.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
You know I can't.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
All right, folks are sharing their perspective quickly, and by
the way, calls have been great today. I mean people
have gotten right to the point, very structured, very organized. Wow,
It's it's not an easy thing to do. Congrats seven
one thousand. Your name, some quick thing about you and
(10:45):
why you are voting the way you are voting, how
it affects you personally, as specific as you can be. Vanessa,
You're on the Michael Berry Show, Sweetheart, go ahead.
Speaker 9 (11:00):
Him, Michael. I am a forty two year old mother
of four and a businesswoman with very conservative values. Back
in twenty sixteen, I was very reluctant and skeptical like
you to vote for Trump, but I did. Since then,
he has proven to align to my values on economy, border,
every other thing you can think of, and I'm proudly
(11:23):
voting for him as well as since then. I also
left the woke Catholic church and school, unfortunately after being
a cradle Catholic.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
So here we are.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
You know, I have heard from so many cradle Catholics
hoorrah over things I've said, and I have to tell
you it writes my heart. A strong Catholic Church was
part of the backbone of this society. If you look
particularly in Polish, Italian Irish communities who came to this country,
(12:04):
and how strong the Catholic Church was, and how strong
their values were at work, and how strong their families were,
those were all that was part and parcel of the recipe.
The collapse of the Catholic Church in America does not
delight me. It depresses me. It really does. If you
(12:25):
want to destroy a country, you insidiously invade, you insinuate
yourself into their institutions, and you collapse them. Look at
our schools, look at our churches. Look at what's happened
to the Boy Scouts, a once wonderful organization and they've
lost their way. You look at the social organizations that
(12:48):
we had in Orange, the cass and Knights of Columbus, Catholic,
the Optimist My grandfather was the president of the Optimist
Club in Orange, those various little organis at the VFW,
the American Legion Hall. I mean, those things were and
I'm not saying they've all gone woke. I'm saying those
(13:09):
types of things have have faded away. And those created
a sense of community, and they created bonds they maintain bonds,
and out of those bonds, you have a better society.
And I see all of that as having fallen. And
it's not just the Catholic Church. There are plenty of
Baptists who are afraid to dare speak. In fact, our
(13:34):
I don't know if it's our bonus podcast today or
our Saturday podcast is a forty minute sermon by a
pastor I'd never heard of on politics and religion, and
he lays it out and it's really good. I don't
know when Jim's going to load that, but keep your
eye on the podcast. It's a forty minute podcast that
you're going to want to hear. And he basically says
(13:54):
our place and I agree with this, and Ed Young
has said this for years. Our place is not to
run and hide and read the Bible on the other
side of the tree where nobody can see us. Our
place is going windward. We're supposed to walk into the
crowd fearlessly and carry our cross. And too many people,
too many people. It's not the evil people that scare me.
(14:16):
They've always been there. It's the good people who silently
allow evil to persist and don't realize that that's what
they're doing under the well, everybody's good. It's all relative.
It's pure tolerance. That's the language of the vanquished, my friend. Okay,
back to the symphony.
Speaker 10 (14:37):
Who Go?
Speaker 1 (14:39):
I never know based on what Ramona's written up there,
what the name actually is.
Speaker 11 (14:43):
Who Go?
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Is that how you pronounce it? Hugo? Okay, he's spot
it with a j's. He's spout it with a J
and I like, do you even know? I don't know
why he would do that? And now I'm laughing and happen.
Speaker 12 (15:02):
But anyway, go ahead, Hey, my I just want to
congratulate you because of your program. Just keep doing what
you're doing. I'm being in Houston for since nineteen seventy five,
and I love this country and I love Trump because
(15:25):
he opened the eyes to all the American people and
what we deserved as a precident. You know this, This
is a matter of what we want. We want this
country to be the bestic can be. But they tried
to change, and now Mike can. I'm just glad that
(15:49):
you opened the eyes to a lot of people.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
You go.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
I really appreciate you sharing your perspective and I can
tell it is heartfelt. Yes, when you came here in Saffive.
Where were you before? You were in Houston?
Speaker 12 (16:09):
I was in Monterey, Mexico. Got two years to become
a lawyer in Monterey, when I got married with my
wife and come back here with no papers and never
work in my life.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
And what do you do now?
Speaker 12 (16:28):
Well, Larry, I'm retired. I worked forty five years on
the paper box company name International Paper, and now I'm
working as a driver for O'Riley. Used to do something,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Yeah, how do you like that?
Speaker 12 (16:46):
But hey, I enjoy my life here. I don't go
back to Mexico, not even dead, you know, because I
don't like it. But I love this country more than Mexico.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
What do you love about it?
Speaker 11 (17:02):
I'd well the transparency we used to have before, you know,
before on the seventies eighties, we don't have to have insurance.
Speaker 12 (17:13):
We used to take care of each other all the time.
Now with all all those things that will happened, you.
Speaker 11 (17:24):
Know, you don't know what you expect, you know what
I mean? I mean, I got friends, Mike.
Speaker 10 (17:33):
They say, we don't buy insurance.
Speaker 12 (17:35):
We only buy insurance to buy our license plate. I say, no, no,
that know the way American people think. American people think,
I don't have insurance only for me, you know, to
cover you too, You know what I mean, Mike, do
not only but me if I do not have insurance
(17:56):
in some let's say, I got to be read with
you and your family.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
I don't know.
Speaker 11 (18:00):
I feel bad because I.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Know that you know, you have hit a very important point.
That is the difference between a nation a people.
Speaker 13 (18:14):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
That is the difference between a people, a community and
where you live. And this is what when so many
people come here, they didn't come from that culture, and
most of them will never learn that culture. And this
is what we talk about when we when we talk
about dropping people into communities that don't share those values
(18:36):
in it changing the community. But I'm glad to have
you in this country. You love this country, and I
guarantee you this country loves you.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Michael.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
We can't afford four more years.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Of this lonely girl.
Speaker 7 (19:06):
You just like someone new to talk to.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
You really don't talk enough about doctor hood.
Speaker 7 (19:16):
I'm feeding kind of lonely too, if you don't mind.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
I mean one of only what ten bands that mentioned
Galveston in a song Sylvia's Mother as a storytelling device
it really is. I'm musa say something that's gonna cause
you to WinCE. Okay, you're gonna feel uncomfortable with this,
(19:41):
but I want you to put it into perspective. I'm
not saying it's superior to okay, but I'm gonna tell
you it is in the same class. If you're calling
roll with the chair by George Strait, I'm telling you no,
I don't want you to dump that. I'm unashamed. I
(20:03):
believe that Sylvia's mother is in the storytelling narrative class.
Now it might be a B minus in the chairs
an A plus, but it's in the class with George
Strait's the chair.
Speaker 12 (20:19):
It is.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
You don't know. I don't think you know whether your
storyteller is the guy who's calling no, she says you okay,
so he's telling what Sylvia's mother said to him. I
think about that, Think about how awesome it is to
(20:45):
create I mean, most songs, if we're to be honest
or just I love you. You're as pretty as you
can be, and I can't live without you, and what
would I do without you? And I wasn't any good
before you, but now I'm happy with you. I hope
I can be with you forever. Great drives the world. Fine,
but a song constructed around calling the girl and her
(21:11):
mother answered, and then all the things that transpire based
on what the mother said, and in the middle they're
trying to make him pay another dime. I mean that
that's Jerry Klower with all the stuff running around and
the cacophony going on. I mean that that kind of
puts you in the moment you're on the car, because
if you're my age or older, and I'm the youngest
(21:32):
you can be to have had this experience, and you're
on a call that for me it was a quarter,
but you put a quarter in and you're about out
of time and you're trying to set up the details
and y'all been arguing over this, and then you're like,
look are we meeting or not worry?
Speaker 3 (21:47):
What time I'm in there?
Speaker 10 (21:48):
Why?
Speaker 1 (21:48):
What's kind of you? And you're out of money? And
it's true, all right? Seven one, three, nine, nine, nine,
one thousand.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Who are you?
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Who are you voting for? And why quickly and to
the point, to the point, tell your story very quickly.
A symphony. That's what you are. You are a part
of a symphony, and this is your solo. Aron from Tucson.
You're up.
Speaker 9 (22:16):
Hey, this is a Ron and I'm thirty five, and
I feel like I'm way too young to have watched
the Countryside as far as it's lives in my lifetime.
Speaker 12 (22:25):
I feel like Trumps really the only person that.
Speaker 11 (22:28):
Tried to even apply the break.
Speaker 9 (22:30):
That's why I'm voting for him and my children.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Thank you, Thank you, Aaron Scott, You're only Michael Berry show.
Go ahead.
Speaker 14 (22:42):
Yes, sir, no, I'm fifty two years old, veteran. I
work in the oil and gas industry, and I'm voting
for Trump because that's kind of the only way I
see the energy industry ever doing anything.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
I mean, you're exactly right, and people don't understand how
important energy is to America and how the Democrats have
hurt the industry from the consumer, the employee, the investor perspective,
and a lot of people don't understand. I don't care
what you do for a living. If you've got a
(23:23):
four oh one k, you are sitting on energy stocks,
and they are very likely your most stable energy stock,
your most stable stocks. Very likely they are you know something, Ramon,
do you notice how many women have called in on
this subject. This gives me hope. We have had a
higher than usual female to male ratio call in on this,
(23:50):
which makes me very happy because originally the belief was
Trump was struggling with women. But I think he's doing
much better now and I think men care about our
community the same way men do, and we're seeing that. Carla,
you're on the Michael Berry Shaw. Go ahead, sweetheart.
Speaker 13 (24:08):
Hi, I'm a seventy two year old woman who is
voting for Donald Trump. The reason being is that I
continue to work a very hard job. I have a
bad shoulder, a bad knee, and a bad back, and
only if Donald Trump wins do I think I can
finally retire and let my husband take care of everything.
(24:31):
Almost all we do is pay bills and by groceries.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Bless your heart, Bless your heart. You know. I read
emails every day from people just like you, Carla, and
it breaks my heart. People that didn't expect to still
be working at a later age than their parents or
their parents before them, And here we are, and they
know their body's given out. Some of them have chronic
(24:58):
conditions already, and they're getting up and going and standing
on their feet all day and you know, at one
point it was I remember when the Walmart readers started.
You saw old people back in the workplace. But a
lot of those people, at least the one in Orange,
they were there for something to do and they were
(25:20):
so happy to be there. Now I see so many
old people in the workplace and you can tell their
back hurts, you know, the joints give out, and it
braced my heart. It really does. And these are the
results of a nation in decline. This is what socialism
(25:40):
does to a nation. Thank you for the call, sweetheart.
I really appreciate that. Robert. You're on the Michael Barry Show.
Go ahead.
Speaker 15 (25:49):
I am a happily married, forty four year old white
male in Houston, voting for Trump. The entire past eight
years has been ridiculous and crazy. Helped me to ben
a board game which I don't think I'll be able
to sell with Kamal or runs inflation any worse than
it is.
Speaker 1 (26:05):
Thank you, my man. Let's say we got a few
more seconds. Joe, you're up, Go ahead, make it quick.
Speaker 10 (26:10):
You're up, Hi, Michael, my name is Joe. I'm a
sixty one.
Speaker 5 (26:15):
Year old white male married thirty years and this country
is going to hell, and I'm worried about my kids.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Seven three one thousand, let's finished strong. This has been
a wonderful symphony, but a big crescendo would be well.
I couldn't think of what the Mnus symphony was. That's
best I could do. Don't don't get me stay.
Speaker 14 (26:37):
Kamala Harris was just officially endorsed by IRS agency.
Speaker 1 (26:41):

Free just gotta talk you. I won't, Dickie, You're almost.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Not really of a genre because it's not soft listening,
which you know, air supply had morphed into a lot
of the big guitar bands had kind of It's not
soft listening, easy listening, adult listening. There's a little more
funk to it than that, and a little more I
(29:28):
don't know, like a tie die soulful, funky feel. I mean,
I could see friends of the I mean I could
see fans of the Grateful Dead really digging Doctor Hook
and Louisiana's LaRue. It's an interesting it's an interesting style

Yeah, Mike, You're on Michael Berry's show.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
I'm a transplanted New Yorker. I'm pushing eighty years old,
and I'm voting for Donald Trump basically out of loyalty.
I've known Donnie since nineteen fifty six. We grew up
as kids, and oh, I saw him over the years,
you know, bumping into him, and I just respect him.
He was confident, cocky, a ladies man, things that I
(31:37):
wish I could be, And I just always looked up
to him.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Thank you, brother Hunter. You're on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 3 (31:45):
Go ahead, Yes, sir, A plus show.
Speaker 10 (31:49):
My favorite Hunter forty two years old.
Speaker 8 (31:50):
I'm from table working man, Julie as a millman fourty yids,
married fourteen years and I'm voting for Trump basically the
abortion huge Trump everything to me, because even economy, because
this is life and death. And also had a little
tidbit about some camp hope the other day about David
Maul's day. I used to go to his church South
(32:11):
with Patist Church, and I.
Speaker 11 (32:13):
Didn't realize he was over the camp hoop.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
He's a good good man and his background as a
pastor has prepared him. They still call him pastor. It
is a Christian program, but he has a pastor's pasture,
pastor's spirit for the congregation. He loves, loves, loves those veterans.
I mean, he just loves. He has such a heart
(32:39):
for them day in and day out, and they'll tell
you they're not easy to deal with. And he has
such patience and love and care and strength for those guys.
It's uh wow, it's it's very moving to me. I
tears run down my eyes when I leave that place,
thinking about the struggles those guys are going through in
(33:01):
the battles that they're fighting back on American soil, and
that they're fighting that battle day in and day out.
You know, a drug addiction and any kind of addiction,
any kind of psychological issue, any kind of chemical issue,
is for people a daily battle. And those guys are
battling day in and day out to just make a
(33:24):
good day, to be proud of who they are, to
make their family proud, to live a good life, to
be the person they want to be. It inspires me,
it really does. And David is the is the driving
force behind all these A great group of guys over there.
There's a fantastic group of guys. He's certainly not the
(33:44):
only one, but I have really been proud to be
a part of that for now eleven years. The Big
Barbecue Cookoff is coming up in November. That is the
big annual. That's our biggest event of the year. I
say our. I don't have anything to do with it
other than announcing it every year, but a lot of
(34:05):
our sponsors get involved, and a lot of you get involved.
If you would like to sponsor that, if you would
like to have a team in it. You pay to
put your team in, but companies do it. They really
enjoy it. It's a good team. Billy's a contribution to
a great cause and it's a wonderful time. It's had
to move off of the campus there because it's gotten
(34:26):
too big. I think it's the Waller County Fairgrounds this year,
but I think it's Stony LaRue this year. Will be
the featured artist, and there's a whole concert series and
all that. They do all the work. Doug Brown, the
chairman of the board, does all the work on it,
and I just if you send me an email that
you're interested, I will forward that to them because that's
the big one. We've got to hit the numbers on
that big barbecue event to keep everything going. Everything else
(34:50):
just kind of supplements that. If you're on hold, hang tight,
I'll talk to you during the break wonderful show. If
you sent me a nice condolence, or maybe it wasn't nice,
Maybe you just sent a dolence regarding my mother, just
know that I read it. I can't respond to all
of them, and I got to move on. I got
what she would want, So just understand. If I see
(35:11):
you out and about I don't want to talk about it.
I'm not ready to talk about it. So I know
you care, I know you love me, and I love you.
And we got to move on. We got an election
to deal with and that's what my mom would want
me to do, and that's what I'm doing. So just
please understand that, and thank you all. You're wonderful
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load. So
Michael Arry Show is on the air.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
But I was driving up here a little cypress to
get this old Turquois Cadillac of Washington who pulled me over.
But the Texas State trooper woman talking about is it
any reason that you don't be having your seat belt on?
I said yes, because it's uncomfortable, and it mashed.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
My breastlesses, and she had a nerve to write.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Me a ticket anyway and scan my car and and
for all my information.
Speaker 3 (00:47):
I felt so violated.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
I wish that people would quit trying to raise money
by bothering me.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
I ain't got no money for these people. Obama got
all my money that way for him to give it back.
When is that sequester's supposed to kick in?
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Somebody needed to ask Michael bar whatever happened to that
North vitmen. These man Kim south Um chaw ooh ooh
or whatever his name is. One minute he was blusting
in the blow beating and talking like the crazy last
drunk man at the karaoke bar. And now he done disappear.
I bet with him. Security guard slipped him some bad
(01:23):
bou dam balls and away he went, you don't never
hear about it though. They could replace him easy and
just pick anybody off the street. And I told you
they trying to get me to run for city council
and arrange. Oh no, man, I've watched that stuff on
the local government access channel. They have them city council
meeting that is televised chloroform.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
So what's on the menu at my house?
Speaker 2 (01:48):
I know you homegirl, you will be hungry later today
if you come by here.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
I'm having a baked potato festival. I got that microwave
fired up and now.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
I got two pounds of butter and some shredded government cheese.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
I should run the drive throughout here.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
So if y'all hungry, y'all come up at my house
and get you a baked potato baby. And now here
he come, hot, hot, hot, Michael Berry, all aggravated and
bothered about something, getting ready to do some of that
earth while yemmen, And you know you want a head.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
That's why you're listening that and because.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
You don't want to sit there and listen at NPR
talk about a transsexual art collecting the Central African.
Speaker 3 (02:25):
Republic or something. That's just all right, Michael come.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
On, hey, Debbie, you're only Michael Berry show. Go ahead, sweetheart.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
Hi.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
I just wanted to say I'm voting for Donald Trump
and praying for his safety every day.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Also, why are you voting for him? What specifically? Well,
real life, really.
Speaker 5 (02:48):
Really concerned about the future for my children and grandchildren.
My daughter, like the lady before, got laid off after
sixteen years with their company because they were outsourcing her
job to the Philippines, and she has not been able
to find a job either. So and I have two grandchildren,
so I'm worried about their future as well.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
You know what surprises me how many people will how
many people are hurt by offshoring, outsourcing, all of these
things in the global economy. As globalism takes hold, you
(03:46):
have what you have in third world countries. You have
the really rich and they're really poor. There is no
middle class. A strong middle class has always been the
bulwark of American Society's that's what that's the found that's
what props the fence up. And when you lose that,
(04:07):
you create a very very different dynamic. And that's what
always made this country wonderful. That's what people who came
here noticed is everybody feels like they're middle class. Even
the working class thinks they're middle class, they're not. And
the upper class, unless you're fabulously wealthy, still feels like
they're in the middle class. You know, Kamala Harris says
(04:31):
with a straight face that she was raised middle class.
Look at what her parents did and what they made.
She was not middle class. She was upper middle class
or lower upper class. But everybody feels like they're in
this middle and everybody wants to be in that middle.
Those are the values. That's why Joe Biden pitched himself
as middle class. Joe is you know, they made fun
(04:54):
of me for being middle class, Joe, but I'm proud
of it. I'm middle class. No, you were selling the
country out. Speaking of which, Zelenski. Vladimir Zelensky was in
Pennsylvania yesterday on a US government plane that transported him there,
touring a munitions factory and effectively campaigning for Kamala Harris.
(05:17):
Have you seen the movie Wag the Dog? Have you
seen it? The point is they're going to war, but
they don't call it a war. They call it a pageant.
They need the pageant in order to mobilize the people.
That's what they're doing here. They're gonna send your sons
to war. It's coming probably before the election. They're going
(05:39):
to send your son to war because that will make
President Kamala popular. She's going to be the president, and
they're going to start a war. They're already set for it.
They want it, they love it. That's why Cheney loves her.
They're all part of that group. But this global economy
(06:00):
means that labor costs less in other countries. Once you
solved the transportation dilemma, that was the problem. The reason
Americans could make high wages and keep their jobs in
manufacturing in the past was because if you manufactured something abroad,
you couldn't get that product here. The transportation and logistics
(06:23):
were impractical. Once they solved that problem, it meant that
American wages were off pace. We were out of line
with international wages. You can't live the way we live
on what a Chinaman or a Bangladeshi or somebody in
(06:46):
Thailand or Vietnam makes. You can't. We can't live on
what they make, right, and we can't make what we
make and sell our products against them. Because the consumer,
which is also us, wants the cheapest price in the
(07:08):
highest wages. People are not as principal as they want
to tell you they are. Look at how many people
will drive past Susie and Tommy's Burger to go to
the National Burger a quarter mile up the road without
any regard to local jobs, local ownership to save a buck.
(07:34):
People used to complain that the Walmart was coming to town.
They were mad about it, and they were mad it
was going to drive the hardware store out of business,
and it did, and the bike store out of business,
and it did, and the gun store out of business,
and it did. And then once all those were gone,
then Walmart didn't sell guns anymore. But there wasn't a
(07:55):
local gun store anymore. Well, how come you didn't just
keep going to Bob's gun store. Well, I know, I'm
and people get embarrassed. I mean I remember being on
the air fifteen years ago, and people would be embarrassed
when I would ask him this question. They'd go, well,
some day I like to go up there late at night,
you know. And they got a real good return policy.
And okay, just understand, you're digging your own grave if
(08:20):
you don't support with your dollars the values that you
believe in, then you won't end up with the businesses
owned by people who share your values. If what you
choose to spend your dollars on, which is where you vote,
is on businesses that you know good and well, are
not going to sell guns that don't share your values,
(08:43):
then just don't be shocked when they do things that
you can't believe. Because I got news for you. You can
try a boycott against the big boys. It ain't gonna
make a difference. You're better off a by cut on
local businesses that share your your beliefs, and if you've
got to pay an extra buck to pay it.
Speaker 6 (09:13):
I was traveling down the road feeling hungry and cold.
Speaker 7 (09:16):
I saw signs and food and drinks, but everyone so
naturally I thought I would take me a little sign.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
I saw so much food.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
There was water coming from my nd hey, there was coming,
There was talking.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
There was kinda hard long tall masks and wind up
up the yards.
Speaker 8 (09:40):
And saw somebody grabbing me, threw me out of my chair.
Speaker 3 (09:47):
Set before you can't eat, you gotta dance like frail
to stuff. You know I can't hate, you know I
can't dang it. You know I can't hitt.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
You know I can't.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
All right, folks are sharing their perspective quickly, and by
the way, calls have been great today. I mean people
have gotten right to the point, very structured, very organized. Wow,
It's it's not an easy thing to do. Congrats seven
one thousand. Your name, some quick thing about you and
(10:45):
why you are voting the way you are voting, how
it affects you personally, as specific as you can be. Vanessa,
You're on the Michael Berry Show, Sweetheart, go ahead.
Speaker 9 (11:00):
Him, Michael. I am a forty two year old mother
of four and a businesswoman with very conservative values. Back
in twenty sixteen, I was very reluctant and skeptical like
you to vote for Trump, but I did. Since then,
he has proven to align to my values on economy, border,
every other thing you can think of, and I'm proudly
(11:23):
voting for him as well as since then. I also
left the woke Catholic church and school, unfortunately after being
a cradle Catholic.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
So here we are.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
You know, I have heard from so many cradle Catholics
hoorrah over things I've said, and I have to tell
you it writes my heart. A strong Catholic Church was
part of the backbone of this society. If you look
particularly in Polish, Italian Irish communities who came to this country,
(12:04):
and how strong the Catholic Church was, and how strong
their values were at work, and how strong their families were,
those were all that was part and parcel of the recipe.
The collapse of the Catholic Church in America does not
delight me. It depresses me. It really does. If you
(12:25):
want to destroy a country, you insidiously invade, you insinuate
yourself into their institutions, and you collapse them. Look at
our schools, look at our churches. Look at what's happened
to the Boy Scouts, a once wonderful organization and they've
lost their way. You look at the social organizations that
(12:48):
we had in Orange, the cass and Knights of Columbus, Catholic,
the Optimist My grandfather was the president of the Optimist
Club in Orange, those various little organis at the VFW,
the American Legion Hall. I mean, those things were and
I'm not saying they've all gone woke. I'm saying those
(13:09):
types of things have have faded away. And those created
a sense of community, and they created bonds they maintain bonds,
and out of those bonds, you have a better society.
And I see all of that as having fallen. And
it's not just the Catholic Church. There are plenty of
Baptists who are afraid to dare speak. In fact, our
(13:34):
I don't know if it's our bonus podcast today or
our Saturday podcast is a forty minute sermon by a
pastor I'd never heard of on politics and religion, and
he lays it out and it's really good. I don't
know when Jim's going to load that, but keep your
eye on the podcast. It's a forty minute podcast that
you're going to want to hear. And he basically says
(13:54):
our place and I agree with this, and Ed Young
has said this for years. Our place is not to
run and hide and read the Bible on the other
side of the tree where nobody can see us. Our
place is going windward. We're supposed to walk into the
crowd fearlessly and carry our cross. And too many people,
too many people. It's not the evil people that scare me.
(14:16):
They've always been there. It's the good people who silently
allow evil to persist and don't realize that that's what
they're doing under the well, everybody's good. It's all relative.
It's pure tolerance. That's the language of the vanquished, my friend. Okay,
back to the symphony.
Speaker 10 (14:37):
Who Go?
Speaker 1 (14:39):
I never know based on what Ramona's written up there,
what the name actually is.
Speaker 11 (14:43):
Who Go?
Speaker 1 (14:43):
Is that how you pronounce it? Hugo? Okay, he's spot
it with a j's. He's spout it with a J
and I like, do you even know? I don't know
why he would do that? And now I'm laughing and happen.
Speaker 12 (15:02):
But anyway, go ahead, Hey, my I just want to
congratulate you because of your program. Just keep doing what
you're doing. I'm being in Houston for since nineteen seventy five,
and I love this country and I love Trump because
(15:25):
he opened the eyes to all the American people and
what we deserved as a precident. You know this, This
is a matter of what we want. We want this
country to be the bestic can be. But they tried
to change, and now Mike can. I'm just glad that
(15:49):
you opened the eyes to a lot of people.
Speaker 4 (15:56):
You go.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
I really appreciate you sharing your perspective and I can
tell it is heartfelt. Yes, when you came here in Saffive.
Where were you before? You were in Houston?
Speaker 12 (16:09):
I was in Monterey, Mexico. Got two years to become
a lawyer in Monterey, when I got married with my
wife and come back here with no papers and never
work in my life.
Speaker 1 (16:24):
And what do you do now?
Speaker 12 (16:28):
Well, Larry, I'm retired. I worked forty five years on
the paper box company name International Paper, and now I'm
working as a driver for O'Riley. Used to do something,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Yeah, how do you like that?
Speaker 12 (16:46):
But hey, I enjoy my life here. I don't go
back to Mexico, not even dead, you know, because I
don't like it. But I love this country more than Mexico.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
What do you love about it?
Speaker 11 (17:02):
I'd well the transparency we used to have before, you know,
before on the seventies eighties, we don't have to have insurance.
Speaker 12 (17:13):
We used to take care of each other all the time.
Now with all all those things that will happened, you.
Speaker 11 (17:24):
Know, you don't know what you expect, you know what
I mean? I mean, I got friends, Mike.
Speaker 10 (17:33):
They say, we don't buy insurance.
Speaker 12 (17:35):
We only buy insurance to buy our license plate. I say, no, no,
that know the way American people think. American people think,
I don't have insurance only for me, you know, to
cover you too, You know what I mean, Mike, do
not only but me if I do not have insurance
(17:56):
in some let's say, I got to be read with
you and your family.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
I don't know.
Speaker 11 (18:00):
I feel bad because I.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
Know that you know, you have hit a very important point.
That is the difference between a nation a people.
Speaker 13 (18:14):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
That is the difference between a people, a community and
where you live. And this is what when so many
people come here, they didn't come from that culture, and
most of them will never learn that culture. And this
is what we talk about when we when we talk
about dropping people into communities that don't share those values
(18:36):
in it changing the community. But I'm glad to have
you in this country. You love this country, and I
guarantee you this country loves you.
Speaker 3 (18:43):
Michael.
Speaker 1 (18:44):
We can't afford four more years.
Speaker 3 (18:46):
Of this lonely girl.
Speaker 7 (19:06):
You just like someone new to talk to.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
You really don't talk enough about doctor hood.
Speaker 7 (19:16):
I'm feeding kind of lonely too, if you don't mind.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
I mean one of only what ten bands that mentioned
Galveston in a song Sylvia's Mother as a storytelling device
it really is. I'm musa say something that's gonna cause
you to WinCE. Okay, you're gonna feel uncomfortable with this,
(19:41):
but I want you to put it into perspective. I'm
not saying it's superior to okay, but I'm gonna tell
you it is in the same class. If you're calling
roll with the chair by George Strait, I'm telling you no,
I don't want you to dump that. I'm unashamed. I
(20:03):
believe that Sylvia's mother is in the storytelling narrative class.
Now it might be a B minus in the chairs
an A plus, but it's in the class with George
Strait's the chair.
Speaker 12 (20:19):
It is.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
You don't know. I don't think you know whether your
storyteller is the guy who's calling no, she says you okay,
so he's telling what Sylvia's mother said to him. I
think about that, Think about how awesome it is to
(20:45):
create I mean, most songs, if we're to be honest
or just I love you. You're as pretty as you
can be, and I can't live without you, and what
would I do without you? And I wasn't any good
before you, but now I'm happy with you. I hope
I can be with you forever. Great drives the world. Fine,
but a song constructed around calling the girl and her
(21:11):
mother answered, and then all the things that transpire based
on what the mother said, and in the middle they're
trying to make him pay another dime. I mean that
that's Jerry Klower with all the stuff running around and
the cacophony going on. I mean that that kind of
puts you in the moment you're on the car, because
if you're my age or older, and I'm the youngest
(21:32):
you can be to have had this experience, and you're
on a call that for me it was a quarter,
but you put a quarter in and you're about out
of time and you're trying to set up the details
and y'all been arguing over this, and then you're like,
look are we meeting or not worry?
Speaker 3 (21:47):
What time I'm in there?
Speaker 10 (21:48):
Why?
Speaker 1 (21:48):
What's kind of you? And you're out of money? And
it's true, all right? Seven one, three, nine, nine, nine,
one thousand.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Who are you?
Speaker 1 (21:58):
Who are you voting for? And why quickly and to
the point, to the point, tell your story very quickly.
A symphony. That's what you are. You are a part
of a symphony, and this is your solo. Aron from Tucson.
You're up.
Speaker 9 (22:16):
Hey, this is a Ron and I'm thirty five, and
I feel like I'm way too young to have watched
the Countryside as far as it's lives in my lifetime.
Speaker 12 (22:25):
I feel like Trumps really the only person that.
Speaker 11 (22:28):
Tried to even apply the break.
Speaker 9 (22:30):
That's why I'm voting for him and my children.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Thank you, Thank you, Aaron Scott, You're only Michael Berry show.
Go ahead.
Speaker 14 (22:42):
Yes, sir, no, I'm fifty two years old, veteran. I
work in the oil and gas industry, and I'm voting
for Trump because that's kind of the only way I
see the energy industry ever doing anything.
Speaker 1 (23:03):
I mean, you're exactly right, and people don't understand how
important energy is to America and how the Democrats have
hurt the industry from the consumer, the employee, the investor perspective,
and a lot of people don't understand. I don't care
what you do for a living. If you've got a
(23:23):
four oh one k, you are sitting on energy stocks,
and they are very likely your most stable energy stock,
your most stable stocks. Very likely they are you know something, Ramon,
do you notice how many women have called in on
this subject. This gives me hope. We have had a
higher than usual female to male ratio call in on this,
(23:50):
which makes me very happy because originally the belief was
Trump was struggling with women. But I think he's doing
much better now and I think men care about our
community the same way men do, and we're seeing that. Carla,
you're on the Michael Berry Shaw. Go ahead, sweetheart.
Speaker 13 (24:08):
Hi, I'm a seventy two year old woman who is
voting for Donald Trump. The reason being is that I
continue to work a very hard job. I have a
bad shoulder, a bad knee, and a bad back, and
only if Donald Trump wins do I think I can
finally retire and let my husband take care of everything.
(24:31):
Almost all we do is pay bills and by groceries.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Bless your heart, Bless your heart. You know. I read
emails every day from people just like you, Carla, and
it breaks my heart. People that didn't expect to still
be working at a later age than their parents or
their parents before them, And here we are, and they
know their body's given out. Some of them have chronic
(24:58):
conditions already, and they're getting up and going and standing
on their feet all day and you know, at one
point it was I remember when the Walmart readers started.
You saw old people back in the workplace. But a
lot of those people, at least the one in Orange,
they were there for something to do and they were
(25:20):
so happy to be there. Now I see so many
old people in the workplace and you can tell their
back hurts, you know, the joints give out, and it
braced my heart. It really does. And these are the
results of a nation in decline. This is what socialism
(25:40):
does to a nation. Thank you for the call, sweetheart.
I really appreciate that. Robert. You're on the Michael Barry Show.
Go ahead.
Speaker 15 (25:49):
I am a happily married, forty four year old white
male in Houston, voting for Trump. The entire past eight
years has been ridiculous and crazy. Helped me to ben
a board game which I don't think I'll be able
to sell with Kamal or runs inflation any worse than
it is.
Speaker 1 (26:05):

tidbit about some camp hope the other day about David
Maul's day. I used to go to his church South
(32:11):
with Patist Church, and I.
Speaker 11 (32:13):
Didn't realize he was over the camp hoop.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
He's a good good man and his background as a
pastor has prepared him. They still call him pastor. It
is a Christian program, but he has a pastor's pasture,
pastor's spirit for the congregation. He loves, loves, loves those veterans.
I mean, he just loves. He has such a heart
(32:39):
for them day in and day out, and they'll tell
you they're not easy to deal with. And he has
such patience and love and care and strength for those guys.
It's uh wow, it's it's very moving to me. I
tears run down my eyes when I leave that place,
thinking about the struggles those guys are going through in
(33:01):
the battles that they're fighting back on American soil, and
that they're fighting that battle day in and day out.
You know, a drug addiction and any kind of addiction,
any kind of psychological issue, any kind of chemical issue,
is for people a daily battle. And those guys are
battling day in and day out to just make a
(33:24):
good day, to be proud of who they are, to
make their family proud, to live a good life, to
be the person they want to be. It inspires me,
it really does. And David is the is the driving
force behind all these A great group of guys over there.
There's a fantastic group of guys. He's certainly not the
(33:44):
only one, but I have really been proud to be
a part of that for now eleven years. The Big
Barbecue Cookoff is coming up in November. That is the
big annual. That's our biggest event of the year. I
say our. I don't have anything to do with it
other than announcing it every year, but a lot of
(34:05):
our sponsors get involved, and a lot of you get involved.
If you would like to sponsor that, if you would
like to have a team in it. You pay to
put your team in, but companies do it. They really
enjoy it. It's a good team. Billy's a contribution to
a great cause and it's a wonderful time. It's had
to move off of the campus there because it's gotten
(34:26):
too big. I think it's the Waller County Fairgrounds this year,
but I think it's Stony LaRue this year. Will be
the featured artist, and there's a whole concert series and
all that. They do all the work. Doug Brown, the
chairman of the board, does all the work on it,
and I just if you send me an email that
you're interested, I will forward that to them because that's
the big one. We've got to hit the numbers on
that big barbecue event to keep everything going. Everything else
(34:50):
just kind of supplements that. If you're on hold, hang tight,
I'll talk to you during the break wonderful show. If
you sent me a nice condolence, or maybe it wasn't nice,
Maybe you just sent a dolence regarding my mother, just
know that I read it. I can't respond to all
of them, and I got to move on. I got
what she would want, So just understand. If I see
(35:11):
you out and about I don't want to talk about it.
I'm not ready to talk about it. So I know
you care, I know you love me, and I love you.
And we got to move on. We got an election
to deal with and that's what my mom would want
me to do, and that's what I'm doing. So just
please understand that, and thank you all. You're wonderful
