Speaker 1 (00:03):
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load. The
Michael Arry Show is on the air. It's Charlie from
BlackBerry Smoke. I can feel it different coming on. It's
(00:24):
the Michael Berry Show. Fuddler, take a guess at all
to do? Alexis, I can feed you're on the Michael
Berry Show. Go aheads with her. Hi, Hello, then, mister Barry.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
My name is Alection.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
I'm twenty nine years old.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
I am voting for President Trump because I am voting
for the man they keep trying to kill.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Yeah, God bless you. Why do you think they're trying
to kill him?
Speaker 4 (00:45):
It just greats.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Good question.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
I think he's against everything they stand for.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
And as missus Jenfse Kelly would say, the system takes
care of their own. Jesse has very very clever nuggets,
and he has a unique way with a quick quip.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
I think he's the best in radio doing that.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Just a one line or just a fam a way
to describe that great call, Alexis, Thank you, sweetheart.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Clyde, you were on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
Go ahead, sir, And I'm seventy three Clyde to chill
and I was retired ail in gas and had to
come out of retirement because I saw what was happening
to my son who was trying to get it, who
was in oil and gas, and all the rigs that
got laid down, and I can list and I have
pictures of the millions of pounds of high pressure gate
(01:46):
valves that went to scrap metal CNC and manual machines
that got loaded up on a truck and sent the
scrap metal and a drilling deck platform never had the
tower on it brand you that we had to cut
up to fit the scrap trailer. And that's how I
kept my son afloat by coming out of retirement and
(02:07):
scrapping all the oil and gas support equipment and materials
out there. And it's so sad, and I want to
see Trump get back in so that we can get
these rigs out of the yard and back up and
drilling again.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
I want to see American muscle, American prowess back in action,
making money, making energy, making a difference.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
And what should scare everybody is how much to tedric
oil reserves Biden pulled out for the midterm elections. We're
at a fifty year low.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
If we have to go to a war agreed.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Look at the numbers.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Well, they're sacrificing our national security at every turn. Clyde,
thank you, brother, Thank you. Arch. You're on the Michael
Berry Show. Go ahead, sir, Yeah, Michael.
Speaker 6 (03:05):
I'm a seventy six year old retired Army bomb tech
living in Huntsville, Alabama. I'm totally upset with the immigration
and with the I want energy independence back. I want
you to, you know, drill, baby, drill. But most recently
I found out that, you know, the Biden and Harris
(03:25):
administration has a three billion dollars shortfall in VA funding
for the remainder of twenty four and it projected twelve
billion dollars shortfall for twenty five. And that's just not right.
We're giving that money to all these illegals in Ukraine
(03:46):
and we can't even take care of our veterans, of
which I am one. And I just wish the people
would wake up. I just this morning saw a yard
sign that says Veterans for Harris. I wanted to tear
it up so bad. And you know, they've robbed the
Social Security Trust Fund. I want it paid back. You know,
(04:08):
they left eighty five billion dollars worth of our beautiful
equipment in Afghanistan and gave it to the Taliband and
they're parading with it. I'm tired of it, Michael. And
I've got a daughter that's got a degree in psychology
and a degree in engineering, and she's staying at home
(04:29):
to teach her three boys and homeschool them rather than
put them in public schools which have gone way down
the tube. And that's why all that put together, we
need Trump.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
I normally cut people off on this, but I think
you were. I couldn't have cut you off because it
would have been an incomplete part of a more cohesive theory,
stance proposition.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Well said sir.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Thank you for calling, and thanks thank you for sharing that,
and thank you for your service.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Very well said Catherine.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
You're on the Michael Berry Show, Sweetheart, with Michael Berry
and Ramon Jay Robe.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Let's go ahead.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
I'm fifty seven years old. My husband is I'm sorry,
I been married fifty seven years. I'm seventy six. My
husband's seventy eight. He's still working. Leaves for work every
morning at five thirty because he's afraid to retire because
of what this country's come to. I thank if Obama
I'm sorry. If Trump doesn't get in, the country's going
(05:32):
to held a handbasket. That's how we feel about it.
And I'm for Trump one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Born and raised in Texas, Catherine.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
We have had a series of just amazing calls, and
I add you to the top three of those. Wow,
thank you, thank you, Lewis. You're on the Michael Berry Show.
What say you, good sir?
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Hey Michael, I'm voting for Trump. Number one is because, well,
we're gonna lose our freedom if we don't vote for
this man of this country is just is going to
become a communist country. And because of because of all this, Michael,
I lost my family. They don't speak to me anymore
because of my belief were Trump. They're old Democrats. I'm
(06:24):
a Republican, I always been, and uh, they don't speak
to me anymore. I don't talk to them anymore. I
lost contact with them, my brother and my sister, my mother,
all because of my beliefs. But if that what it
takes to make the country free again, that's all I
(06:46):
have to say.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Lewis, thank you for sharing that story.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
I'm I'm sorry to hear that, because that's exactly what
the Democrats, what the liberals, what the communists want? Separating
people from their families. And you know, I will tell
you I think that the kind of people who turn
on their family, who will let Kamala Harris or she's
(07:09):
not really the one doing it, the people behind the
scenes who will allow themselves to be played this way,
realizing this is not about what your mom or your sister,
or your brother or anyone else thinks it is. This
is about a game that's being played to keep the
people subjugated and the peasants, the thiefs that sorry, the
(07:32):
peasants are being played and don't know it. These people
look on us as peasants. And when you play into
their game and turn on your own family, that's all
you got. Well it breaks my heart. But you know,
we see it. We see it, and you're living it tragically.
(07:52):
You are living it, and that makes me sad. That
also means that you are not doing what everyone else
in your family is doing, which makes you a fiercely
independent person, which is something you should be proud of.
It's not easy to do, it's not easy to chart
your own course. It's not easy to break from the comfort.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Of the crowd. And go it alone.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
But you are and you know what, Hurrah for you, brother.
That is a sign of great strength. I admire that.
Wouldn't the world be a better place if every grown
ass man and lesbian woman pumped the top on the
drive home?
Speaker 1 (08:31):
You bet it would. It's the Friday drive home on
the Michael Arri Show. You could say, I'm just a
good alright, one thousand. Who are you? Who are you
voting for? And why?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
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.
Ay Ron from Tucson, You're a.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Hey, there are. I'm thirty five, and I feel like
I'm way too young to have watched The Countryside. As
far as it's live in my lifetime, I feel like
Trump really the only person that tried to even.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
Apply the break that whire.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I'm voting for hay me, my tutor, thank you, thank you,
Aeron Scott, You're only Michael Berry show.
Speaker 7 (09:23):
Go ahead, Yes, sir, No, I'm twenty 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 2 (09:46):
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 they employed the investor perspective,
and a lot of people don't understand.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
I don't care what you do for a living.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
If you've got a four to 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 Debbie. You're only Michael Mary show. Go ahead, sweetheart.
Speaker 8 (10:21):
Hi.
Speaker 9 (10:21):
I just wanted to say I'm voting for Donald Trump
and praying for his safety every day.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Also, why are you voting for him? What specifically? Well,
I'm your life, really.
Speaker 9 (10:34):
Really concerned about the future for my children and grandchildren.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
My daughter, like the lady.
Speaker 9 (10:39):
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 have two grandchildren, so I'm worried about their
future as well.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
You know what, it 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,
(11:30):
you have what you have in third world countries.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
You have the really rich and the really poor. There
is no middle class.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
A strong middle class has always been the bulwark of
American society. That's what that's the foundation, that's what props
the fence up. And when you lose that, you create
a very very different dynamic. And that's what always made
this country wonderful. That's what people who came here noticed
(11:58):
is everybody feels like their middle class.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Even the working class thinks they're middle class.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
They're not in the upper class unless you're fabulously wealthy.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Still feels like they're in the middle class.
Speaker 10 (12:11):
You know.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Kamala Harris says with a straight face that she was
raised middle class.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Look at what her parents did and what they made.
She was not middle class.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
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.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Joe is. You know, they made fun of me for
being middle class Joe, but I'm proud of it. I'm
middle class. No, you were selling the country out.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Speaking of which, Zelenski, Vladimir Zelenski was in Pennsylvania yesterday
on a US government plane that transported him there, touring
a munitions factory and effectively campaigning for Kamala Harris. Have
you seen the movie Wagged the Dog? Have you seen it?
(13:02):
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.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
That's what they're doing here. They're going to send your
sons to war. It's coming probably before the election.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
They're going 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
Shaney loves her. They're all part of that group. But
this global economy means that labor costs less in other countries.
(13:42):
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 and logistics were impractical. Once they solved that problem,
(14:06):
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 Thailand or vietnamics.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
You can't.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
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 highest wages. People are not as
(14:46):
principle 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. People used to complain that the
(15:10):
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 local gun store anymore. Well, how
(15:31):
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 their fifteen years ago, and people would
be embarrassed when I would ask him this question. They'd go, well,
sometimes 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
(15:52):
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. Let's go to Ken.
You're old, Michael Berry show. What about you, sir? I
(16:13):
don't even know what Ken's doing. Always gona end up
not being Kn's gonna be Ben and he's just sitting there.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Bob.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
If you have a three, four six number and you're
on hold, you're up. If your last four numbers are
fifty five ninety eight, you're up. I guess we move on,
(16:47):
Jack Wagging, you're up.
Speaker 11 (16:50):
Yes, Michael, I'm sixty three years old. I'm rocking the
bucking in North Dakota. I've been working since the age
of fourteen, and every time I get get ahead to
turn around in the government, six men in the eye
with a sharp stick. So I'm going for Trump so
he can be my sharp stick to poke the government back.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I think a lot of people are ready to take
back control of the citizen over the government instead of
the other way around. Seven one, three, nine, nine, nine
one thousand, Wayne, take us to break, sir.
Speaker 12 (17:22):
Yes, sir, I'm sixty five retired law enforcement. I always
like what Dana White said one time before. The strongest
man he knows is Trump, because as many times as
he's been attacked, he still stands up and fights.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
And to me, he don't take no crap off from nobody.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
I'm tired of people on our side that don't fight
or fight for the wrong side. Look at Dick Cheney,
look at what Shaney's done after all these years, and
some people actually believe in that.
Speaker 13 (17:47):
Maybe this is a stir up six death brought up
in Orange, Texas broke ass coat scholarship. His weight to
two loud degrees, including one from the magistative fine elected
three or four time, a lawyer, a hub a father,
but most of all, the ignorant ass asking your seat there,
(18:09):
pop your coat when they get ready for all of them,
mister Michael there, all right.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Let's tart with Earl just because I like to name
Earl Earl Europe. Sir, what's your story?
Speaker 10 (18:22):
All?
Speaker 6 (18:22):
My story is I'm voting for Donald J.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Trump for the third time. I'm proud to do it,
and uh, I'm tired.
Speaker 10 (18:29):
Of seeing the tucking Bussit is going to crap for
always foreigners driving it.
Speaker 6 (18:32):
And I want my grandkids to have a good life.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Thank you, sir, Roland, You're only Michael Berry.
Speaker 6 (18:38):
Show Michael them sixty eight years old. I came from Cuba.
I came here in nineteen sixty nine. This place was
the best place.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
To live in and now it's going to craps and
ivot for Trump. Thank you will, thank you for sharing
your story. Seventy three nine nine nine, one thousand. If
you just tuned in, folks are calling and sharing who
they're voting for and why, and remember you've got to
vote all the way down.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
You do not want a single Democrat in office. Trust me.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
You might not know who the Republican is, and many
of them aren't great, but they're better than the Democrat.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Don't overthink this.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Don't let the Democrats have officeholders that can needle Trump
the whole time, that can impeach him, that can cause
him problems across the country. Vote for the Republicans down
the line. Brian, you're on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, sir.
Speaker 8 (19:36):
I'm sixty years old and I'm Brian. I'm homeless, and
I'm voting for Donald Trump to help get me back.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Off the streets. Amen. Brother, do you have documents to vote?
Speaker 8 (19:50):

the address itself, but I mean, who lives at that address?
Speaker 8 (20:06):
So my wife lives there, my ex wife, she's going
to be my ex wife. But that's where I'm registered
at in Habdalgo County, Texas.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
All right, And you said you're homeless. Where are you
sleeping at night?
Speaker 3 (20:22):
I have a vehicle.
Speaker 6 (20:23):
I sleep in my truck.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
How long has that been going on? For almost three
years now? I have mercy.
Speaker 8 (20:34):
I've talked to you before about this. I'm that homeless
guy up in the spring.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Yeah, I thought you were in the woods though.
Speaker 8 (20:45):

A lot of women are hoping for him. I'm really

Truth be told you ever thought about it?
Speaker 11 (23:05):
My dog?
Speaker 6 (23:07):
They could be honking for my dog.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
It could be honking for you.
Speaker 6 (23:09):
Brian.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
You don't sell yourself shorty nice. A lot of women
got that kind of bad boy you know thing. They
might not bring you home. They got you know, nice
fell at home. Remember, they might be thinking, you know, Brian,
I bet he's wow. He's a man of the wild
because you were literally a man of the wild. You
are in the wild.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Think about that.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
You're untamed, You're feral. You're feral, Brian. Thanks for the call,
but don't be a stranger. I love when you call.
It's another work week in the books. It's getting you
geared up to the weekend. It's the Friday drive home
on the Michael Barry Show. Folks for sharing their perspective
(23:58):
quickly and by the way, cauls have been great today.
I mean people who 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.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Your name. Some quick thing about you and why.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
You are voting the way you are voting, how it
affects you personally, as specific as you can be Vanissa.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
You're on the Michael Berry Show. Sweetheart, go ahead, h
Ii'm Michael.
Speaker 15 (24:35):
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
(24:55):
thing you can think of, and I'm proudly voting for
him as.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Well as since then.
Speaker 15 (25:01):
I also left the woke Catholic Church in school, unfortunately,
after being a cradle Catholic.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
So here we are.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
You know, I have heard from so many cradle Catholics
whor rah over things I've said, and I have to
tell you it raised my heart. A strong Catholic Church
was part of the backbone of this society.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
If you look particularly in.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Polish, Italian Irish communities who came to this country, and
how strong the Catholic Church was, and how strong their
values were at work, and how strong their families were,
that those were all that was part and parcel of
the recipe. The collapse of the Catholic Church in America
(25:54):
does not delight me.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
It depresses me. It really does.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
If you 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.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
You look at the social.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Organizations that we had in Orange, the Cacs and Knights
of Columbus, Catholic, the Optimists. My grandfather was the president
of the Optimist Club in Orange, those various little organism,
the VFW, the American Legion Hall. I mean, those things
were and I'm not saying they've all gone whoa. I'm
(26:41):
saying those types of things have faded away. And those
created a sense of community, and they created bonds, they
maintained 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
(27:03):
of Baptists who are afraid to dare speak. In fact,
our 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. 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
(27:25):
you're going to want to hear. And he basically says,
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,
(27:47):
too many people. It's not the evil people that scare me.
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,
(28:10):
back to the symphony, Hugo. I never know, based on
what Ramona's written up there, what the name actually is.
Speaker 5 (28:17):
Who go?
Speaker 14 (28:17):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (28:17):
How you pronounce it? Yeah, Hugo Hugo. Okay, he's started
with a J. He's he's spout it with a J
and I like, do you even know?
Speaker 6 (28:27):
Are you going to russ?
Speaker 1 (28:30):
I don't know why he would do that? And now
I'm half laughing and half but anyway, go ahead, Hey,
my I.
Speaker 10 (28:40):
Just want to converactively you because so you program, you
just keep doing what you're doing.
Speaker 14 (28:47):
I'm being in Houston for saying nineteen.
Speaker 10 (28:52):
Seventy five and I love this going three and I
love Trump because she opened the eyes to all the
American people and what we deserved as a president.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
You know this, this is a matter of what we want.
Speaker 10 (29:13):
We went on this country to be the Vesican be
but they tried to change and now Mike can.
Speaker 14 (29:22):
I'm just glad that you opened the eyes to a
lot of people to go.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
I really appreciate you sharing your perspective and I can
tell it is heartfelt. Yes, when you came here in Sabah.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Where were you before you were in Houston?
Speaker 10 (29:43):
I was in Monterey, Mexico, got two years to become.
Speaker 14 (29:47):
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 (29:58):
H And what are you doing now?
Speaker 10 (30:02):
Well, Iran, I'm retired. I worked forty five years ago.
Paper box company name international paper. Now I'm working as
a driver for O'Riley used to do something.
Speaker 14 (30:17):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 6 (30:18):
Yeah that, but I owe my life here.
Speaker 10 (30:25):
I don't go back to Mexico, not even dead, you know,
because I don't like it.
Speaker 6 (30:31):
But I love this country more than Mexico.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
What do you love about it? You know what I've got?
Speaker 10 (30:38):
When the transparency we used to have before, you know
before on the seventies eighties, we don't have to have insurance.
We used to take care of each.
Speaker 6 (30:49):
Other all the time.
Speaker 14 (30:52):
Now with all all those things that happened, you don't
know what you expect, you know what I mean?
Speaker 6 (31:03):
I mean I do.
Speaker 10 (31:05):
I guess friends Mike that they say, we don't buy insurus.
We only buy insurance to buy our license plate. I say, no, no,
don't know the way American people think. American people think.
I don't got insurans only for me, you know, to cover.
Speaker 14 (31:23):
You too, You know what I mean, Mike, I do
not only but me.
Speaker 6 (31:29):
If I don't to have insurance in some let's say.
Speaker 14 (31:32):
I gotta be read with you and your family, I want.
Speaker 10 (31:34):
To feel bad because I don't have insurance.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
That you know, you have hit a very important point
that is the difference between a nation of people.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Uh, that's the difference between a people, a community and
where you live.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
And this is what when so many people come here,
they did 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 in its changing
the community.
It's that time time, time, time, luck and load. The
Michael Arry Show is on the air. It's Charlie from
BlackBerry Smoke. I can feel it different coming on. It's
(00:24):
the Michael Berry Show. Fuddler, take a guess at all
to do? Alexis, I can feed you're on the Michael
Berry Show. Go aheads with her. Hi, Hello, then, mister Barry.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
My name is Alection.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
I'm twenty nine years old.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
I am voting for President Trump because I am voting
for the man they keep trying to kill.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Yeah, God bless you. Why do you think they're trying
to kill him?
Speaker 4 (00:45):
It just greats.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
Good question.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
I think he's against everything they stand for.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
And as missus Jenfse Kelly would say, the system takes
care of their own. Jesse has very very clever nuggets,
and he has a unique way with a quick quip.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
I think he's the best in radio doing that.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Just a one line or just a fam a way
to describe that great call, Alexis, Thank you, sweetheart.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Clyde, you were on the Michael Berry Show.
Speaker 5 (01:22):
Go ahead, sir, And I'm seventy three Clyde to chill
and I was retired ail in gas and had to
come out of retirement because I saw what was happening
to my son who was trying to get it, who
was in oil and gas, and all the rigs that
got laid down, and I can list and I have
pictures of the millions of pounds of high pressure gate
(01:46):
valves that went to scrap metal CNC and manual machines
that got loaded up on a truck and sent the
scrap metal and a drilling deck platform never had the
tower on it brand you that we had to cut
up to fit the scrap trailer. And that's how I
kept my son afloat by coming out of retirement and
(02:07):
scrapping all the oil and gas support equipment and materials
out there. And it's so sad, and I want to
see Trump get back in so that we can get
these rigs out of the yard and back up and
drilling again.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
I want to see American muscle, American prowess back in action,
making money, making energy, making a difference.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
That's it.
Speaker 5 (02:35):
And what should scare everybody is how much to tedric
oil reserves Biden pulled out for the midterm elections. We're
at a fifty year low.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
If we have to go to a war agreed.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Look at the numbers.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Well, they're sacrificing our national security at every turn. Clyde,
thank you, brother, Thank you. Arch. You're on the Michael
Berry Show. Go ahead, sir, Yeah, Michael.
Speaker 6 (03:05):
I'm a seventy six year old retired Army bomb tech
living in Huntsville, Alabama. I'm totally upset with the immigration
and with the I want energy independence back. I want
you to, you know, drill, baby, drill. But most recently
I found out that, you know, the Biden and Harris
(03:25):
administration has a three billion dollars shortfall in VA funding
for the remainder of twenty four and it projected twelve
billion dollars shortfall for twenty five. And that's just not right.
We're giving that money to all these illegals in Ukraine
(03:46):
and we can't even take care of our veterans, of
which I am one. And I just wish the people
would wake up. I just this morning saw a yard
sign that says Veterans for Harris. I wanted to tear
it up so bad. And you know, they've robbed the
Social Security Trust Fund. I want it paid back. You know,
(04:08):
they left eighty five billion dollars worth of our beautiful
equipment in Afghanistan and gave it to the Taliband and
they're parading with it. I'm tired of it, Michael. And
I've got a daughter that's got a degree in psychology
and a degree in engineering, and she's staying at home
(04:29):
to teach her three boys and homeschool them rather than
put them in public schools which have gone way down
the tube. And that's why all that put together, we
need Trump.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
I normally cut people off on this, but I think
you were. I couldn't have cut you off because it
would have been an incomplete part of a more cohesive theory,
stance proposition.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Well said sir.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Thank you for calling, and thanks thank you for sharing that,
and thank you for your service.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Very well said Catherine.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
You're on the Michael Berry Show, Sweetheart, with Michael Berry
and Ramon Jay Robe.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Let's go ahead.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
I'm fifty seven years old. My husband is I'm sorry,
I been married fifty seven years. I'm seventy six. My
husband's seventy eight. He's still working. Leaves for work every
morning at five thirty because he's afraid to retire because
of what this country's come to. I thank if Obama
I'm sorry. If Trump doesn't get in, the country's going
(05:32):
to held a handbasket. That's how we feel about it.
And I'm for Trump one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (05:36):
Born and raised in Texas, Catherine.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
We have had a series of just amazing calls, and
I add you to the top three of those. Wow,
thank you, thank you, Lewis. You're on the Michael Berry Show.
What say you, good sir?
Speaker 3 (06:01):
Hey Michael, I'm voting for Trump. Number one is because, well,
we're gonna lose our freedom if we don't vote for
this man of this country is just is going to
become a communist country. And because of because of all this, Michael,
I lost my family. They don't speak to me anymore
because of my belief were Trump. They're old Democrats. I'm
(06:24):
a Republican, I always been, and uh, they don't speak
to me anymore. I don't talk to them anymore. I
lost contact with them, my brother and my sister, my mother,
all because of my beliefs. But if that what it
takes to make the country free again, that's all I
(06:46):
have to say.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
Lewis, thank you for sharing that story.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
I'm I'm sorry to hear that, because that's exactly what
the Democrats, what the liberals, what the communists want? Separating
people from their families. And you know, I will tell
you I think that the kind of people who turn
on their family, who will let Kamala Harris or she's
(07:09):
not really the one doing it, the people behind the
scenes who will allow themselves to be played this way,
realizing this is not about what your mom or your sister,
or your brother or anyone else thinks it is. This
is about a game that's being played to keep the
people subjugated and the peasants, the thiefs that sorry, the
(07:32):
peasants are being played and don't know it. These people
look on us as peasants. And when you play into
their game and turn on your own family, that's all
you got. Well it breaks my heart. But you know,
we see it. We see it, and you're living it tragically.
(07:52):
You are living it, and that makes me sad. That
also means that you are not doing what everyone else
in your family is doing, which makes you a fiercely
independent person, which is something you should be proud of.
It's not easy to do, it's not easy to chart
your own course. It's not easy to break from the comfort.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Of the crowd. And go it alone.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
But you are and you know what, Hurrah for you, brother.
That is a sign of great strength. I admire that.
Wouldn't the world be a better place if every grown
ass man and lesbian woman pumped the top on the
drive home?
Speaker 1 (08:31):
You bet it would. It's the Friday drive home on
the Michael Arri Show. You could say, I'm just a
good alright, one thousand. Who are you? Who are you
voting for? And why?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
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.
Ay Ron from Tucson, You're a.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
Hey, there are. I'm thirty five, and I feel like
I'm way too young to have watched The Countryside. As
far as it's live in my lifetime, I feel like
Trump really the only person that tried to even.
Speaker 6 (09:14):
Apply the break that whire.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I'm voting for hay me, my tutor, thank you, thank you,
Aeron Scott, You're only Michael Berry show.
Speaker 7 (09:23):
Go ahead, Yes, sir, No, I'm twenty 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 2 (09:46):
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 they employed the investor perspective,
and a lot of people don't understand.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
I don't care what you do for a living.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
If you've got a four to 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 Debbie. You're only Michael Mary show. Go ahead, sweetheart.
Speaker 8 (10:21):
Hi.
Speaker 9 (10:21):
I just wanted to say I'm voting for Donald Trump
and praying for his safety every day.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Also, why are you voting for him? What specifically? Well,
I'm your life, really.
Speaker 9 (10:34):
Really concerned about the future for my children and grandchildren.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
My daughter, like the lady.
Speaker 9 (10:39):
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 have two grandchildren, so I'm worried about their
future as well.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
You know what, it 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,
(11:30):
you have what you have in third world countries.
Speaker 1 (11:32):
You have the really rich and the really poor. There
is no middle class.
Speaker 2 (11:36):
A strong middle class has always been the bulwark of
American society. That's what that's the foundation, that's what props
the fence up. And when you lose that, you create
a very very different dynamic. And that's what always made
this country wonderful. That's what people who came here noticed
(11:58):
is everybody feels like their middle class.
Speaker 1 (12:00):
Even the working class thinks they're middle class.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
They're not in the upper class unless you're fabulously wealthy.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
Still feels like they're in the middle class.
Speaker 10 (12:11):
You know.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
Kamala Harris says with a straight face that she was
raised middle class.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Look at what her parents did and what they made.
She was not middle class.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
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.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Joe is. You know, they made fun of me for
being middle class Joe, but I'm proud of it. I'm
middle class. No, you were selling the country out.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
Speaking of which, Zelenski, Vladimir Zelenski was in Pennsylvania yesterday
on a US government plane that transported him there, touring
a munitions factory and effectively campaigning for Kamala Harris. Have
you seen the movie Wagged the Dog? Have you seen it?
(13:02):
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.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
That's what they're doing here. They're going to send your
sons to war. It's coming probably before the election.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
They're going 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
Shaney loves her. They're all part of that group. But
this global economy means that labor costs less in other countries.
(13:42):
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 and logistics were impractical. Once they solved that problem,
(14:06):
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 Thailand or vietnamics.
Speaker 1 (14:24):
You can't.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
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 highest wages. People are not as
(14:46):
principle 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. People used to complain that the
(15:10):
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 local gun store anymore. Well, how
(15:31):
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 their fifteen years ago, and people would
be embarrassed when I would ask him this question. They'd go, well,
sometimes 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
(15:52):
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. Let's go to Ken.
You're old, Michael Berry show. What about you, sir? I
(16:13):
don't even know what Ken's doing. Always gona end up
not being Kn's gonna be Ben and he's just sitting there.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Bob.
Speaker 2 (16:23):
If you have a three, four six number and you're
on hold, you're up. If your last four numbers are
fifty five ninety eight, you're up. I guess we move on,
(16:47):
Jack Wagging, you're up.
Speaker 11 (16:50):
Yes, Michael, I'm sixty three years old. I'm rocking the
bucking in North Dakota. I've been working since the age
of fourteen, and every time I get get ahead to
turn around in the government, six men in the eye
with a sharp stick. So I'm going for Trump so
he can be my sharp stick to poke the government back.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
Amen.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
I think a lot of people are ready to take
back control of the citizen over the government instead of
the other way around. Seven one, three, nine, nine, nine
one thousand, Wayne, take us to break, sir.
Speaker 12 (17:22):
Yes, sir, I'm sixty five retired law enforcement. I always
like what Dana White said one time before. The strongest
man he knows is Trump, because as many times as
he's been attacked, he still stands up and fights.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
And to me, he don't take no crap off from nobody.
Speaker 2 (17:38):
I'm tired of people on our side that don't fight
or fight for the wrong side. Look at Dick Cheney,
look at what Shaney's done after all these years, and
some people actually believe in that.
Speaker 13 (17:47):
Maybe this is a stir up six death brought up
in Orange, Texas broke ass coat scholarship. His weight to
two loud degrees, including one from the magistative fine elected
three or four time, a lawyer, a hub a father,
but most of all, the ignorant ass asking your seat there,
(18:09):
pop your coat when they get ready for all of them,
mister Michael there, all right.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
Let's tart with Earl just because I like to name
Earl Earl Europe. Sir, what's your story?
Speaker 10 (18:22):
All?
Speaker 6 (18:22):
My story is I'm voting for Donald J.
Speaker 3 (18:24):
Trump for the third time. I'm proud to do it,
and uh, I'm tired.
Speaker 10 (18:29):
Of seeing the tucking Bussit is going to crap for
always foreigners driving it.
Speaker 6 (18:32):
And I want my grandkids to have a good life.
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Thank you, sir, Roland, You're only Michael Berry.
Speaker 6 (18:38):
Show Michael them sixty eight years old. I came from Cuba.
I came here in nineteen sixty nine. This place was
the best place.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
To live in and now it's going to craps and
ivot for Trump. Thank you will, thank you for sharing
your story. Seventy three nine nine nine, one thousand. If
you just tuned in, folks are calling and sharing who
they're voting for and why, and remember you've got to
vote all the way down.
Speaker 1 (19:09):
You do not want a single Democrat in office. Trust me.
Speaker 2 (19:13):
You might not know who the Republican is, and many
of them aren't great, but they're better than the Democrat.
Speaker 1 (19:19):
Don't overthink this.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Don't let the Democrats have officeholders that can needle Trump
the whole time, that can impeach him, that can cause
him problems across the country. Vote for the Republicans down
the line. Brian, you're on the Michael Berry Show. Go ahead, sir.
Speaker 8 (19:36):
I'm sixty years old and I'm Brian. I'm homeless, and
I'm voting for Donald Trump to help get me back.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Off the streets. Amen. Brother, do you have documents to vote?
Speaker 8 (19:50):
I do.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
I'm registered.
Speaker 6 (19:52):
I'm registered.
Speaker 8 (19:53):
I'm definitely registered.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
Where are you registered?
Speaker 4 (19:56):
Like?
Speaker 14 (19:56):
What is the is it?
Speaker 1 (19:58):
What is I don't know. I don't want to know
the address itself, but I mean, who lives at that address?
Speaker 8 (20:06):
So my wife lives there, my ex wife, she's going
to be my ex wife. But that's where I'm registered
at in Habdalgo County, Texas.
Speaker 1 (20:16):
All right, And you said you're homeless. Where are you
sleeping at night?
Speaker 3 (20:22):
I have a vehicle.
Speaker 6 (20:23):
I sleep in my truck.
Speaker 1 (20:25):
How long has that been going on? For almost three
years now? I have mercy.
Speaker 8 (20:34):
I've talked to you before about this. I'm that homeless
guy up in the spring.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Yeah, I thought you were in the woods though.
Speaker 8 (20:45):
I got a vehicle.
Speaker 1 (20:46):
Now, you gave me some advice.
Speaker 8 (20:49):
I took the advice and went up to Ohio for
a little bit with with my bought me a vehicle. Yeah, yes, sir,
you bought me a vehicle.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
On so you're not really labless anymore. You kind of
have a home if not a fan.
Speaker 8 (21:03):
I got, I got wills, I can move around and everything.
Speaker 14 (21:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
Where do you park to sleep.

kind of a feeder and underpassing in a four way,
if he doesn't have the most fleet, hitting, adorable little dog,
(22:32):
you know, sitting there looking sad, I don't trust that
he's really homeless. I think he's They got a term
for those guys that aren't really homeless. They just set
up shopping and they go around the corner to Pizza
hud On Chimney Rock there at West Park, and then
they drive home.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
In a nice car, you know, because they had a
good day. Yeah, you got to have a flee bit.
Speaker 8 (22:47):
But yeah, I'm going Donald Trump all the way.
Speaker 6 (22:53):
I'm supporting them.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
I Aron on the corner and getting people to honk.
Speaker 8 (22:56):
A lot of women are hoping for him. I'm really
going to it might be hogging you, Brian.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Truth be told you ever thought about it?
Speaker 11 (23:05):
My dog?
Speaker 6 (23:07):
They could be honking for my dog.
Speaker 1 (23:08):
It could be honking for you.
Speaker 6 (23:09):
Brian.
Speaker 2 (23:13):
You don't sell yourself shorty nice. A lot of women
got that kind of bad boy you know thing. They
might not bring you home. They got you know, nice
fell at home. Remember, they might be thinking, you know, Brian,
I bet he's wow. He's a man of the wild
because you were literally a man of the wild. You
are in the wild.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
Think about that.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
You're untamed, You're feral. You're feral, Brian. Thanks for the call,
but don't be a stranger. I love when you call.
It's another work week in the books. It's getting you
geared up to the weekend. It's the Friday drive home
on the Michael Barry Show. Folks for sharing their perspective
(23:58):
quickly and by the way, cauls have been great today.
I mean people who 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.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Your name. Some quick thing about you and why.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
You are voting the way you are voting, how it
affects you personally, as specific as you can be Vanissa.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
You're on the Michael Berry Show. Sweetheart, go ahead, h
Ii'm Michael.
Speaker 15 (24:35):
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
(24:55):
thing you can think of, and I'm proudly voting for
him as.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Well as since then.
Speaker 15 (25:01):
I also left the woke Catholic Church in school, unfortunately,
after being a cradle Catholic.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
So here we are.
Speaker 2 (25:11):
You know, I have heard from so many cradle Catholics
whor rah over things I've said, and I have to
tell you it raised my heart. A strong Catholic Church
was part of the backbone of this society.
Speaker 1 (25:27):
If you look particularly in.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Polish, Italian Irish communities who came to this country, and
how strong the Catholic Church was, and how strong their
values were at work, and how strong their families were,
that those were all that was part and parcel of
the recipe. The collapse of the Catholic Church in America
(25:54):
does not delight me.
Speaker 1 (25:55):
It depresses me. It really does.
Speaker 2 (25:59):
If you 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.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
You look at the social.
Speaker 2 (26:21):
Organizations that we had in Orange, the Cacs and Knights
of Columbus, Catholic, the Optimists. My grandfather was the president
of the Optimist Club in Orange, those various little organism,
the VFW, the American Legion Hall. I mean, those things
were and I'm not saying they've all gone whoa. I'm
(26:41):
saying those types of things have faded away. And those
created a sense of community, and they created bonds, they
maintained 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
(27:03):
of Baptists who are afraid to dare speak. In fact,
our 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. 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
(27:25):
you're going to want to hear. And he basically says,
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,
(27:47):
too many people. It's not the evil people that scare me.
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,
(28:10):
back to the symphony, Hugo. I never know, based on
what Ramona's written up there, what the name actually is.
Speaker 5 (28:17):
Who go?
Speaker 14 (28:17):
Is that?
Speaker 1 (28:17):
How you pronounce it? Yeah, Hugo Hugo. Okay, he's started
with a J. He's he's spout it with a J
and I like, do you even know?
Speaker 6 (28:27):
Are you going to russ?
Speaker 1 (28:30):
I don't know why he would do that? And now
I'm half laughing and half but anyway, go ahead, Hey,
my I.
Speaker 10 (28:40):
Just want to converactively you because so you program, you
just keep doing what you're doing.
Speaker 14 (28:47):
I'm being in Houston for saying nineteen.
Speaker 10 (28:52):
Seventy five and I love this going three and I
love Trump because she opened the eyes to all the
American people and what we deserved as a president.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
You know this, this is a matter of what we want.
Speaker 10 (29:13):
We went on this country to be the Vesican be
but they tried to change and now Mike can.
Speaker 14 (29:22):
I'm just glad that you opened the eyes to a
lot of people to go.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
I really appreciate you sharing your perspective and I can
tell it is heartfelt. Yes, when you came here in Sabah.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Where were you before you were in Houston?
Speaker 10 (29:43):
I was in Monterey, Mexico, got two years to become.
Speaker 14 (29:47):
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 (29:58):
H And what are you doing now?
Speaker 10 (30:02):
Well, Iran, I'm retired. I worked forty five years ago.
Paper box company name international paper. Now I'm working as
a driver for O'Riley used to do something.
Speaker 14 (30:17):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 6 (30:18):
Yeah that, but I owe my life here.
Speaker 10 (30:25):
I don't go back to Mexico, not even dead, you know,
because I don't like it.
Speaker 6 (30:31):
But I love this country more than Mexico.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
What do you love about it? You know what I've got?
Speaker 10 (30:38):
When the transparency we used to have before, you know
before on the seventies eighties, we don't have to have insurance.
We used to take care of each.
Speaker 6 (30:49):
Other all the time.
Speaker 14 (30:52):
Now with all all those things that happened, you don't
know what you expect, you know what I mean?
Speaker 6 (31:03):
I mean I do.
Speaker 10 (31:05):
I guess friends Mike that they say, we don't buy insurus.
We only buy insurance to buy our license plate. I say, no, no,
don't know the way American people think. American people think.
I don't got insurans only for me, you know, to cover.
Speaker 14 (31:23):
You too, You know what I mean, Mike, I do
not only but me.
Speaker 6 (31:29):
If I don't to have insurance in some let's say.
Speaker 14 (31:32):
I gotta be read with you and your family, I want.
Speaker 10 (31:34):
To feel bad because I don't have insurance.
Speaker 2 (31:37):
That you know, you have hit a very important point
that is the difference between a nation of people.
Speaker 1 (31:48):
Uh, that's the difference between a people, a community and
where you live.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
And this is what when so many people come here,
they did 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 in its changing
the community.
